ps: I was exhausted after a day of proofreading for my tutor, and my hands were sore. There is only one update tonight.

During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the six divisions of the Zhou Dynasty often crossed Liangshan and attacked tribes such as the Quanrong and Guifang outside Huangfu. At that time, Bai Zhai, who was related to Zhou by marriage, was still an attached army of the Zhou family, panting behind the chariot. . Since the decline of the Zhou Dynasty, Bai Zhai has stayed in place and occupied this territory called "Shangdi", which later generations will call northern Shaanxi. Three hundred years have passed, and no Zhuxia regime has been able to encroach on it. , even the most prosperous Qin Jin can not.

It was not until Zhao's caravan came with cavalry that Zhao Wuxi stunned Bai Zhai's tribes with the destruction of Shaoliang City, and the rebellious Zhai people fell down for the first time in front of the terrifying force that destroyed the sky and the earth. Skull, to pay tribute to the Zhao clan, Shangdi also became the Shangjun of the Zhao clan.

On the basis of several large tribes in the above land, Zhao Wuxi established the Jiji system here. Fushi, Yangzhou, Gaonu, Luodu, and Diaoyin are the five Jiji counties of Shangjun, and the local chief Bai Zhai is Jiwei County. For a long time, all the institutions of the tribe remain unchanged. The Zhao family only sent a deputy to restrain them and reconcile the relationship between Bai Zhai and the Chinese immigrants.

Among the various ministries, the Gaonu Department is the most powerful and has the largest population, but the county seat of Shangjun is not there, but near the Yanhe River, which is dozens of miles south of Gaonu. The county capital was named "Yan'an" by Zhao Wuxi!

The five Jiwei counties did not have Qimin households, but Yan'an was a well-structured county town from the very beginning.

After the Zhao clan took Shaoliang by force, they looted all the residents in the city, and some of them were resettled in Yan'an to build a new city from scratch.

Yan'an is surrounded by the Yanhe River. Although weeds are overgrown, thorns are everywhere, there are few people and wild animals, but in fact, the land is fertile and the water and grass are rich, and it can become a fertile soil with a little development. Fortunately, there is no shortage of cattle and horses in Shangjun, which can make up for the shortage of manpower. Thousands of troops and civilians worked together to build Liju at the foot of Jialing Mountain, and the fields were leveled. A sense of pride and belonging also arises spontaneously, and each household has acquired a large amount of land. The refugees in Hexi forget their return and are willing to take root here.

In the past few years, they have developed the uninhabited banks of the Yanhe River into a fertile land with corn and wheat all over the plains and fat ducks filling the ponds. As for the places where agriculture has not yet spread, there are also abundant water and grass, cows and horses tailing, flocks of sheep blocking roads, and the agriculture and animal husbandry economy has been well developed.

The city of Yan'an has also begun to take shape. Although the city is still a temporary structure built of logs, it is one of the largest cities on the ground with a circumference of several miles. Unfortunately, the lack of people in the city has always been a problem that plagued local county officials.

Until last year, Yan'an finally ushered in a good opportunity for development. A large number of Hexi people escaped the conflict between Qin and Wei and fled into Shangjun. The Zhao family ordered the tribes not to take in them without authorization, and all the refugees were brought back to Yan'an. By the beginning of spring, there were more than 3,000 households in the whole of Yan'an, and they controlled 100,000 mu of arable land on both sides of the Yanhe River.

With the increase of population, commerce has also developed. Shangjun is located in Yongzhou, surrounded by Rong and Diqun. It is far away from Zhao's headquarters and is far away from Dahe and mountains, so transportation is inconvenient. However, Yidun, the loser of the northern counties, sends caravans to bring grain and goods from Jin to here every month to exchange cattle, horses and furs with Shang County to maintain the local economic balance.

The gradual prosperity of Yan'an, the continuous absorption of the population, and the increasingly prosperous business will naturally attract the attention of the indigenous Bai Zhai tribes, but they dare not do anything. Without him, in addition to the Zhao family's field troops stationed in the local area, there is also a powerful armed force cruising on the grasslands outside Yan'an: a cavalry division with a full 2,500 cavalry!

Shangjun Sima Youcheng was the commander-in-chief of this cavalry. He and his cavalry were instructed to guard Shangjun. The lucky group of thieves were trampled under the horse's hooves by him. The Gao Nu clan, who once coveted Yan'an and tried to collude with other ministries to oppose Zhao, was also wiped out by Postcheng with a thunderous momentum. The Gaonu tribe was scattered, and their six pastures and the people they depended on were also taken over by Yan'an, and they were incorporated into the household Qimin.

Gao Nu has been wiped out, and there are still four Bai Zhai in Shangjun. The biggest one has no more than seven or eight thousand soldiers and more than a thousand cavalry. He can't match Zhao's army at all. He can only bow his head and listen. Not too much.

Under this premise, if you are detained as a bull or a horse, you should be a bull and a horse. A live bull is better than a dead horse. Besides, the Zhao clan always turned a blind eye to them when they entered the Qin and Wei territories and looted them, and even protected them.

This balance was shattered in the spring of this year, and at dawn on this day, the leader of the Fushi Division was shaken from his sleep. He walked out of the tent with the drunkenness of last night's banquet, squinted his eyes and looked north, and was suddenly surprised to see a cavalry larger than the postal department appearing in front of him.

Fushi was stunned. The huge cavalry was meandering on the plateau in the north of Yongzhou. Thousands of troops and horses moved forward, as if several black dragons were soaring over the vast mountains and grasslands.

Their main force crossed the fast-flowing Wuding River one after another and ran to the south, and a group of partial divisions, under the banner of the Zhao family, ran towards the camp of the Fushi Department.

Seeing that it was Zhao's cavalry, Bai Zhai, who was guarding the camp wall, did not dare to block it, and let them go all the way. The cavalry ran unimpeded to the leader of Fushi, but saw that the leader of Zhao, although he was busy, was full of energy. , he showed the festival in his hand and said to the Fushi people in Bai Zhai's language: "Shangqing sent Yu Sima of Daijun and Sima of Shangjun to attack the thieves, and ordered Fushi to send half of Ding Zhuang, with horses, rations, and weapons. , Assemble in Yan'an before the first day of March, and march south with the two Sima!"

...

When the horse's hoof stopped outside the city of Yan'an, Yu Xi breathed a sigh of relief. He looked back, and behind him were five thousand knights and more horses, all of them tanned and scorched.

After destroying the dynasty four years ago, Zhao Wuxi established Dai County in the local area, and the county government was located in Daicheng. Considering that Dai is located at the dividing line between agriculture and animal husbandry, the north and south of the Sanggan River are almost two different economic forms. In the grassland area in the northwest of the county, a cavalry town named Longcheng was established, where Yuxi trained cavalry and restrained the Ronghu tribe outside the frontier.

In the past four years, the Central Plains have been chaotic and turbulent, but Dai County has been far away from the war and has developed by leaps and bounds. Because of the strong garrison in Longcheng, many Hu Rong tribes continue to depend on them. The recruitment of soldiers in the middle went very smoothly. In his letter to Zhao Wuxi, Yu Xi asked him to fight, saying that "on behalf of the county Shima, there are thousands of people who move."

This is an exaggeration, but almost everyone of the right age in Dai County can ride a horse, and it is possible to gather six or seven thousand riders.

Zhao Wuxi praised Yu Xi, and at the same time, he officially sent a message outside the frontier, asking Yu Xi to raise troops and go south to help him attack Qin and Wei.

At the beginning of January, Yu Xiguang issued a notice to let the leaders and adults of various Jiji tribes in Dai County lead their troops to Longcheng for a rally.

"Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, after four years of recuperation, the Daijun cavalry finally has a place to use it!"

After this announcement, Yu Xi sent 2,500 cavalry of Zhao on behalf of the county, and other tribes such as Dai, Tu He and Wuzhong dispatched 2,500 Rong Hu cavalry to assist in the battle. The dog also went south with the army as Yu Xi's deputy. On that day, the banners of Longcheng were in the sky, the bows and arrows were like forests, and the people of the Rong and Hu who were watching were all shocked.

The 5,000-strong army set out from Dai County in mid-January, detoured to Loufan, and ate almost all of Lou's annoying aquatic plants, cattle and sheep along the way, and finally crossed the river with leather bags from the edge of Linhu's site and entered Shangjun. They passed through Fushi, Yangzhou, Gaonu and other ministries, and finally arrived in Yan'an.

Unlike the galloping and destroying generation four years ago, this time the front line is longer, and the battle time is set in three months, so the army has to save the horsepower, and the walking is not fast. For more than a thousand miles, they walked for a whole month.

Facing Youcheng, who was greeted by him out of town, Yu Xixiao looked at him. Leng Touqing four years ago, like himself, was already a Sima of a county, which meant that he inherited his father's business, and Youcheng himself was also indispensable. s hard work.

He stroked his beard and said with a smile, "If you stay out of the saddle for a month, not only will the horse be too thin, but our body will also stink, so we can raise fleas, so let the soldiers have enough to eat and drink, and then go back to the hospital for a long time. It's important to take a bath in the river."

Youcheng invited people to entertain these Daijun cavalry from afar. They were from China and could be stationed under the city. Those Ronghu tribesmen were restrained by Xinzhigou on the outskirts of the city, far away from residential areas. Their military discipline was really a big problem. .

After resting for a few days, the leaders of the tribes in Shangjun also came to Yan'an one after another. Under the threat of Zhao's powerful force, they all expressed their willingness to bring the tribe Ding Zhuang to join in to crusade the Qin state for Zhao.

"There are 2,500 cavalry in Shangjun~lightnovelpub.net~ plus Fu Shi, Diaoyin, Yangzhou, Luodu four Bai Zhai, there are a total of 4,500 cavalry."

"I have 5,000 cavalry here, plus the Loufan and Linhu clan soldiers recruited along the way, there are 5,500 cavalry!"

When Yu Xi, Youcheng and Xinzhigou added up, they were all pleasantly surprised to find that the cavalry under his command had exceeded ten thousand.

10,000 cavalrymen, this was something they had never dared to think about before, and this was also Zhao Wuxi's achievement of letting Daijun and Shangjun operate for several years. If used properly, it is a powerful force that can change the world. For a time, the generals of the Zhao clan had full confidence, believing that they would be able to use this army to cross the Hexi and create a new situation for the Zhao clan!

Yu Xi, the commander-in-chief of the Western Front operation, announced: "The gathering of thousands of cavalry, food and grass is a big problem, the tribes in Shangjun can only afford more than a month, so let's put the horses in the Yanhe for the time being, so that the long-distance cavalry can eat enough. , After raising enough fat, we will gather in early March and set off in mid-March."

He pointed to Luoshui swimming and said: "Ganquan is rich in water and grass, so we will use this place as our base camp. We will divide the left and right armies out of Liangshan. A piece of erosion! Let Qin Wei have no way out!" (To be continued.)
