Chapter 1450 Setup
Langzhong is located in the west of the central part of Brazil County, in the middle of Langshui, so it is called Langzhong.
In places like Sichuan and Shu, Langzhong is roughly regarded as a majestic pass. If compared with Hangu Pass and Tongguan, there is still a huge gap. Not more than the hinterland of the Central Plains, plus the defense of the Kawagoe barbarians, there is no need for too powerful a city.
Just such a city, if it was ranked in the Central Plains, would not be considered a very strong city, which brought Wei Yan a lot of trouble.
After all, Langzhong is located in the middle of the Langshui River, surrounded by mountains and across the river. Therefore, if the city is to besieged, the rivers on both sides must be surrounded together, but the Langshui cannot be blocked. It is difficult to travel along the Langshui mountain road, and secondly, Zhang Ren, the guard in Langzhong, is not a dull general, so the loss must be very large, and Wei Yan only has these capitals in his hands, so he has to plan carefully.
If there is no Dujiangyan in the land of Sichuan and Sichuan, it would be just a hot and stuffy basin, and such a water conservancy project, because the water system is connected, forms a huge water network, so within the scope of the entire Dujiangyan, it not only changes the Sichuan The farming environment in Shu even changed the climate near Chengdu in Sichuan and Shu to a certain extent, making Chengdu qualified to become a land of fish and rice.
Langzhong is the gateway to this land of fish and rice.
Perhaps it was because Qin Shihuang adopted a warm and gentle strategy to win over Sichuan and Shu, and in addition, Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty started from the land of Sichuan and Shu, and Liu Xiu basically didn''t even set foot in Sichuan and Shu, so Langzhong had a great reputation in the whole Han Dynasty. In the past three or four hundred years, it has basically not been forcibly breached.
With such psychological factors, and the support of the rich products in Sichuan and Shu, the guards in Langzhong are basically very stable. Although I have heard about General Zhengxi and life in Guanzhong, it is too far away for these soldiers. It is basically unrealistic to have more things to do with two meals a day, and to be able to lie down more comfortably at night, that is the whole life. As for other things, let the people above consider it...
With such confidence, Zhang Ren is also very stable. He is not afraid of Zhengxi coming to attack, and even looks forward to it, hoping that he can achieve greater achievements in such an attack. With merit, it means more power and status, in order to glorify one''s family.
So when Zhang Ren received the warning from Chengdu, he was not only not nervous, but also a little excited.
"I hope it''s really coming this time, not another bluff." Zhang Ren sat on the gate tower of the city wall, overlooking the map on the table, squinting his eyes, looking at the long and thin Langshui logo, and then He stared at the small square representing Hanchang City and said.
"I see, the general may be disappointed again..." Qin Mi smiled, and continued unhurriedly, "Hanchang is a small city and neglected its precautions, so it was conquered by the West, and Langzhong...hehe Let alone the three or four thousand soldiers from Hanchang who conquered the west, if there are generals stationed here, even if they come two or three times more, I''m afraid they won''t be able to defeat Langzhong!"
"That''s right, with the general commanding and so many warriors, even if the Zhengxi troops come, they will only end in defeat!" Yuan Yue laughed loudly. friction between stones.
Yuan Yue looked about forty or so. Although he was not tall, only about six feet, he was born brave and fierce. When he was young, he was said to be brave. The Dahan Sea Turtle Pie among the people is gold-plated...
Yuan Yue''s original surname was Luo, and his real name was Sen. As a result, because he met Yuan Kai when he was in Luoyang, and received his hospitality and respect, he was grateful to Dade and changed all his first and last names, and became Yuan Yue. Many people disapproved of his name change, but Yuan Yue thought he was proud of it, just like many people in the later generations of China did not use their Chinese names, but chose to use Liu Ailun or Zhang Qiaozhi...
Yuan Yue was the leader of the Luo family. Later, the Luo family''s Wang was old and declining. Seeing that Yuan Yue was more or less a sea turtle faction, with good martial arts, fluent Chinese, and knowledge, he was promoted as a leader. Commander, and later logically became the king of the Luo family, and one of the three kings of the Luo people.
The other two ren kings are Pu Hu and Du Yi. Among them, Pu Hu is actually two people, Park and Hu, because their pronunciation is relatively similar and they have a good relationship, so they merged into one place, and then the king of the other people simply called himself Pu Hu, how simple and clear.
Another Du Yi, also known as Du Yi, has the same reason as Pu Hu, except that the number of Du family members is relatively small, which can be regarded as being differentiated from the Du family members.
These three ren kings are considered to be the largest ren kings in Sichuan and Shu, and basically all affairs related to the ren are dominated by these three ren kings.
Before Yuan Yue became the king of the Jin people, at that time the Luo family were the most powerful tribe among the Jin people, so at that time the leader of the Luo family wanted to take the opportunity to unify all the Jin tribes, just like many great It is the same as the legend of the leader of the Luo family, but it is a pity that the Luo family''s Jin Ren Wang at that time was not able to do this.
Perhaps it was because of the distribution of benefits, or the distribution of women. Anyway, the specific reason is not very clear now. The Luo family and the other tribes fought a battle, although in the end they still won the battle with the rest of the tribes. The tribe''s defeat ended in Yuandun, but the Luo family also declined because of this, and Yuan Yue still hadn''t fully recovered by this time.
But now everything seems to be going smoothly. Yuan Yue not only went to Guanzhong Luoyang to meet the world, but also got close to Liu Yan in Sichuan and Shu, and got a lot of Han family items and gifts from Liu Yan. The resources gradually re-developed, but because of this, they were linked with Liu Yan. After Liu Yan died, he became a member of Liu Zhang''s subordinates.
Facing the sudden appearance of General Zhengxi, on the one hand, Yuan Yue showed disdain, on the other hand, he was a little worried in his heart. The Yuan family of the Han Dynasty was once considered his benefactor, and Liu Yan was once the hero of Sichuan and Shu , but now that Liu Yan is dead, and I heard that the Yuan family official of the Han people is also dead, the tiger skin that Yuan Yue can borrow has disappeared invisibly.
In recent years, Yuan Yue has worked hard for the development of his own tribe. If General Zhengxi came, he would give up the benefits, which is undoubtedly unacceptable to Yuan Yue.
Therefore, Yuan Yue supported Liu Zhang and wanted to keep the original interests, but now the development of things gradually deviated from Yuan Yue''s vision. Liu Zhang''s performance was far worse than that of Liu Yan. Not only did he fail to manage the disputes in Sichuan and Shu, but he was also inserted into Brazil by Zhengxi troops, and even Langzhong was also facing threats.
General Zhengxi''s aggressiveness is not only in the military, but also in the mysticism. The new generation of Jin people think that the Taoism that those people in Zhengxi are promoting in Hanzhong is very good. Those Taoists are full of supernatural powers and are kind and approachable. They are completely different from the ugly and vicious wizards in the original Jin tribe...
Some of the younger generation of competitors behind Yuan Yue felt that Liu Zhang was no good at all, and that it would be more beneficial to seek refuge with the new General Zhengxi. Such thinking posed a threat to Yuan Yue, although Yuan Yue sought He used an excuse to kill a few leaders, and shocked everyone with **** words, but he knew that once the seeds of doubt were planted, it would be difficult to get rid of them.
To eliminate these adverse effects. Yuan Yue had to prove that he was right. To prove that he was right, he had to defeat General Zhengxi once, so that all the people could see that the soldiers under General Zhengxi could be defeated, and those Taoists were just playing tricks. liar.
"Headman Yuan, how are your people?" Zhang Ren turned his face away, but his eyes still stayed on the map on the table, maybe because he felt that the military situation was urgent, and it seemed that he didn''t even want to look at Yuan Yue more Look. Yuan Yue didn''t have words either, so what''s the name? It''s okay to be polite. Now it''s more or less a superior-subordinate relationship. Calling this king and that king every day is not only embarrassing for him, but also difficult to distinguish between superior and inferior. its leader.
"Please don''t worry, general." Yuan Yue arched his hands, imitating the Han people and made a salute, and said, "As long as the general gives an order, the warriors of our tribe will definitely charge forward and never retreat."
"Of course I don''t have any worries about your bravery and loyalty, but before conquering the west, you bluffed in Hanchang and pretended to be a ruffian to seize the city. It is inevitable that you will not repeat the same trick..." Zhang Ren said slowly, "Among the ruffians It''s inevitable that some people don''t understand the truth and are deceived by Zhengxi''s rhetoric. In addition to managing your subordinates, you also need to pay attention to the swindlers who have come to Langzhong during this period of time. Be careful that there are guys who have been lured by Zhengxi..."
Yuan Yue''s expression changed.
Qin Mi didn''t wait for Yuan Yue to speak, so she continued to use Zhang Ren''s words: "Don''t look at Zhengxi''s extensive farming in Hanzhong, exempting from taxes and so on, and attracting people from the mountains to farm, it seems to be a boon to the people... Haha, Anyone with a discerning eye actually knows that this is a scam! You must know that the conscripts also need to eat food, and they don’t pay taxes. Are all those conscripts full of food and drink? After a year, when it is time to announce that the tax will be collected, should I pay it or not? If I don’t pay it, then the mature fields that have been cultivated through two years of hard work will be taxed! If the tax is paid, haha...then It''s better to be more comfortable on the mountain, isn''t that the reason? Yuantouren?"
Zhang Ren and Qin Mi meant to beat Yuan Yue inside and out, which made Yuan Yue''s eyelids twitch, and he quickly replied: "Thank you for the reminder, thank you for the reminder..."
"The benefits of farming and so on belong to the people below... and the position of your leader belongs to you alone..." Zhang Ren raised his eyelids and looked at Yuan Yue, "I believe that the leader Yuan knows how to choose ..."
Yuan Yue patted his chest vigorously, and said: "General, please don''t worry, I will definitely obey the general''s orders and take good care of the people under my command. As long as anyone dares to contact Zhengxi, I don''t need to be ordered by the general. I... I will definitely kill you first." He! Guaranteed not to make any mistakes!"
Zhang Ren suddenly laughed, and said: "No... Yuantouren, I think, you have misunderstood me... I don''t want you to kill these people, but to let you replace them..."
Yuan Yue was a little at a loss.
"Defending the city alone is never a good strategy..." Zhang Ren smiled, but there was a cold look in his eyes, "Since the head of Yuan agrees with us... a certain person thinks that the head of Yuan can try to let people get in touch with Zheng. Westerners..."
"Ah?" Yuan Yue couldn''t react, didn''t he just say something about Zhengxi, why did he let him get in touch with Zhengxi now?
Qin Mi smiled and said: "I and General Zhang have thought about it for a long time, and I feel that it may not be a good strategy to stay here all day long. It is better to lure out the Zhengxi troops... and then..." Qin Mi smiled slightly, and then made a cut Actions.
"Oh!" Yuan Yue suddenly said, "Got it! Got it! Good, it really is a good strategy!"
"Since Yuantouren also thinks the strategy is good, let''s divide the work..." Zhang Ren laughed softly, "Yuantouren, you need to send some confidants to find Zhengxi''s men and horses, just say that you are willing to fight with Zhengxi." Cooperate, as long as the Zhengxi army arrives in Langzhong, you will raise your troops and dedicate yourself to the city!"
"My subordinates?" Yuan Yue frowned and said, "My subordinates are all rude people, I''m afraid I can''t do such a thing..."
Zhang Ren smiled and said: "If you lead Zhengxi troops to come, you won''t take any of the armor and weapons you get, and all of them will be with Yuan Touren! What do you think?"
Qin Mi said softly at the side: "Not to mention the soldiers and horses of Zhengxi, this equipment is really excellent..."
Yuan Yue was taken aback for a moment, and there was obviously a bit of greed in his eyes.
"Headman Yuan, how are you?" Zhang Ren noticed the change in Yuan Yue''s eyes, and the smile on his face became more intense, "You just need to find a suitable person to lure Zhengxi troops to the city of Langzhong, and then you can easily Easy to exchange for the equipment of Zhengxi''s troops... If this kind of business is not based on the face of having known each other for many years, where would you find it?"
Yuan Yue rolled his eyes and weighed it up, and his heart was indeed moved. The equipment of the Han army has always been the object of his covetousness, especially the well-equipped Zhengxi troops, which made Yuan Yue jealous. For the Ji people tribe without craftsmanship, the warriors in the tribe have no standard weapons. Except for occasionally capturing some loot, most of them use wooden shields, bamboo bows, bamboo spears, etc., and the Chuanshu Han army Compared with the standard armor and the ring knife and iron spear, these weapons are too primitive, let alone compared with the armor of the Zhengxi troops.
And now Zhang Ren is willing to give him all the weapons and armors captured by Zhengxi soldiers. In this way, if the strategy is successful, the tribal warriors under him can exert greater combat effectiveness. There is also an advantage when...
Yuan Yue quickly made a decision, patted his chest boldly and said: "Haha, good! Even I, Yuan Yue, obey the general''s orders, and of course my subordinates are all arranged by the general. I will do whatever the general wants to do. !"
