Chapter 067 An Yi and Po Qiang Xia

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, after the Han army defeated Xianling Qiang and Shaodang Qiang, in addition to migrating some Qiang people to Neijun, many Qiang people fled to the outside of the fortress. The power of Zhong Qiang.

In the first year of Emperor Yongchu's reign (107 years), Longxi Xianling Qiang joined with more than 9,000 Zhong Qiang households in Lintao Valley (now in Minxian County, Gansu) and participated in the Qiang Uprising in Liangzhou. Waxy cannot be made.

In the spring of the second year of Yongchu, thousands of people from Zhongqiang and Qiang attacked the Han army in the west of Jixi (now Tianshuixi, Gansu), killing more than a thousand people.

In the winter, Xianling and Zhong Qiang defeated Ren Shang, the Colonel of Zhengxi, in Pingxiang, killing more than 8,000 Han troops.

In three years, Zhong Qiang broke through Lintao County (now Min County, Gansu) and captured the commander of the southwestern Han Long, so a large number of Zhong Qiang lived in Longxi.

In the sixth year (119) of the early Yuan Dynasty, Zhong Qiang fought with Ma Xian, the captain of the Qiang Protector, at Angu (now Lintao, Gansu).

In the third year of Emperor Yangjia of Shundi (134), Zhong Qiang Liangfeng, Qiechang and others attacked Longxi and Hanyang again. The following year was defeated by Ma Xian, and Chang led more than 100,000 Zhong Qiang to be the prefect of Han Liangzhou.

At this time, Zhong Qiang has become the strongest tribe among the Qiang people after Xianling and Shaodang, with more than 100,000 elite soldiers, becoming one of the main forces to contend against the Eastern Han Dynasty.

But for Huangfu Chong, Zhong Qiang, who holds 100,000 troops, should wash his neck first and wait for him!

At that time, the outermost Longqi City and Linqiang City had been captured, and even Shicheng and Baitu on the left side of Heguan under Jincheng County were captured.

However, Guiyi City and Jianwei City were the only ones. Because of the steep terrain and perhaps the reason why the Qiang people thought that they could not defend themselves, they did not touch them. Therefore, Guiyi City and Jianwei City still exist and are connected to each other. , support each other.

But Zu Huangfu Chong is unable to count on the defenders of the two cities to come out to help, one is that there is not enough troops to leave the city, and the other is that there is not enough food.

From February to June every year, it is the season of grain shortages in Guiyi City and Jianwei City. The food is not enough for more than 10,000 people in the two cities. In order to maintain the two cities, the prefect of Liangzhou transfers from Jincheng, Tianshui and Zhangye every year. food support.

Huangfu Chong calculated the time. This year, he adjusted it once in January, again in February, but not in March. If April is now, even if he wants to adjust the food, he will not be able to arrive, not to mention he has no excess food.

Now, back to the original question, what should Huangfu Chong do.

Now that Longqi City and Linqiang have been lost, Huangfu Chong found that if he blocked the momentum of the enemy's advance, he must defend Anyi and Poqiang.

Anyi, established in the Western Han Dynasty, belongs to Jincheng County, and is located in the west of Ping'an County, Qinghai Province. In the first year of the Eastern Han Dynasty (76), the Colonel Hu Qiang lived here. Jin belongs to Xiping County.

"Book of Jin, Bald-haired Wugu Records": In the third year (399) of the Southern Liang Dynasty of the Sixteen Kingdoms, Wuwei King Bald-haired Wugu "departed his younger brother Lilugu as the general of the hussars, the Duke of Xiping, and the town of Anyi". That's it. The Northern Wei Dynasty was abandoned.

Anyi County, which is today's Ping'an County, Haidong City, Qinghai Province, was established in the second year of the Xuandi Shenjue of the Western Han Dynasty (60 BC), under the jurisdiction of Jincheng County, and governed Ping'an County, Ping'an County, and about today's Qinghai Province. In some areas.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jian'an Middle School was changed to Xiping County. During the Wei, Western Jin and Sixteen Kingdoms periods, Liang, Qianqin, Houliang, Nanliang, Western Qin, and Beiliang were built along the edge.

When the Northern Wei Dynasty belonged to Tuyuhun, the county was abolished. Anyi County has gone through 386 years from the establishment of the county in the second year of Han Shenjue to the abolition of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Po Qiang, set in the second year of the Western Han Dynasty (60 BC), belongs to Jincheng County. The governance is located on the north bank of Huangshui River in the southeast of Ledu County, Qinghai Province.

"Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Biography of the Western Qiang": In the third year of Yongchu (109), "Dang Qiang and Sister Le attacked and failed to break through Qiang County". Western Jin Dynasty was abandoned.

Ancient county name. In the second year of Shenjue in the Western Han Dynasty (60 years ago), it was placed under the Qiang, and it was ruled in the northwest of the present Qinghai Province Minhe Hui and Tu Autonomous County. It belongs to Jincheng County.

Jin waste, "Han Han Shu Xi Qiang Biography": In the third year of Yongchu (109), "Dangjian and Le Jiezhong attacked and failed to break Qiang County", that is.

It was established in the second year of Emperor Xuan of the Western Han Dynasty (60 BC), and it was governed in the east of Ledu County, Qinghai, under the jurisdiction of Jincheng County. It was established along the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Jian'anzhong was transferred to Xiping County. Wei Yanzhi. It was abandoned during the Western Jin Dynasty.

So why did Huangfu Chong want to block the Qiang army in Anyi and Po Qiang?

Although it is said that Huangfu Chong should go to Jincheng, which has the best fortifications, but now Huangfu Chong is not so cowardly, maybe he would be cowardly in the past.

Of course, this is also related to the Hexi Corridor. Once the Hexi Corridor is blocked for some reason, this place will become the throat of the Southern Silk Road, Qinghai Road, and the Central Plains leading to the Western Regions, and it has become a fortress for the empires of all dynasties to appease the borders.

In history, Anyi County was an important stop on the Tang-Fan Ancient Road and the Southern Silk Road. It was a magical and colorful knot where multi-ethnic cultures were intertwined and integrated in history. In the western plateau, as a valley with a relatively mild and humid climate, this place is also An important birthplace of ancient civilization and farming civilization.

Because it is at an important juncture in history and geography, it is destined to become a place where the wind and clouds meet, it will be recorded in the historical books, and it will play the role of a border post again and again.

On April 17, Huangfu Chong ordered Ma Wan, Cheng Yi, Yang Qiu, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, and Liang Xing to lead 10,000 horses each to be stationed in Anyi and Poqiang.

Among them, Ma Wan, Cheng Yi, and Yang Qiu guarded Anyi, while Li Kan, Zhang Heng, and Liang Xing guarded Po Qiang. They themselves led 30,000 horses to be stationed by the river 15 kilometers behind Po Qiang, and their son led 10,000 horses to guard Jincheng.

However, what Huangfu Chong did not expect was that Ma Wan, Cheng Yi, Yang Qiu, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, and Liang Xing were so useless.

Ma Wan, Cheng Yi, and Yang Qiu were guarded by An Yi in one day. Cheng Yi was the first to run, so he successfully retreated to Po Qiang. Ma Wan and Yang Qiu ran slowly. Surrounded by the enemy, they surrendered and were killed.

On April 20, Huangfu Chong, who received news from Ma Wan, Cheng Yi, and Yang Qiushou, quickly transferred his army to Po Qiang, and asked him to arrive in time to support Po Qiang before the 21st. Forced to die.

After the battle, except for Li Kan who died in the battle, Zhang Heng, Liang Xing, and Cheng Yi were all arrested. They will be escorted to Luoyang on the 25th for execution by the Shang Shu~lightnovelpub.net~ Huangfu Chong did not stop there. , he ordered the army to continue the pursuit, and at the same time sent people to contact Guiyi City and Jianwei City and deliver supplies.

On April 30, Huangfu Chong recaptured Anyi. On May 1 and May 4, Longqi City, Linqiang Zuoguiyi City, and Jianwei City were captured by the defenders. The two sides merged and killed the remaining more than 1,000. The Qiang Army.

On May 6, Shicheng and Baitu were recovered.

At this time, Huangfu Chong was free to worry about the situation of the other two, and found that the two had been killed.

On April 15, Hua Xiong, Xu Rong, Dong Yue, and Hu Zhen led the army to Wuwei County. When they heard that the Liangzhou army was coming to Xianbei in the west, they sent 10,000 horses south to try to intercept the four. He met Hua Xiong, Xu Rong, Dong Yue, and Hu Zhen's army at Xiutu.

The two sides immediately fought, 10,000 against 20,000. Naturally, the Western Xianbei slammed into the iron plate and smashed into pieces.
