Pang Tong's eyes narrowed and his eyes twinkled. He followed Zhang Xiu for the longest time, knew Zhang Xiu best, and hated the plunder of baimaqiang.
Pang Tong thought for a while and asked, "Lord, baimaqiang plundered so frequently in a short time. Before that? What's the news going forward? "
Zhang Xiu looked at Wang Yue and asked, "Wang Yue, do you have any news?"
Wang Yue remembered this matter and quickly replied, "report back to my Lord. One month ahead, although baimaqiang also went down the mountain to plunder, there was only one record."
Pang Tong said: "well, can we infer that the reason why baimaqiang people have been plundering in succession recently is that they know that the Lord is going to attack with his troops, so they frequently plunder to supplement food. Does it mean that Han Sui and Ma Chao are in the mountains, and their supplies of grain and grass have problems, so they need to plunder more food supplies? "
"It's possible to replenish food!"
Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "but there is a problem with grain supply. I'm afraid it's very difficult. It's not a matter of a day or two for Baima Qiang people to live near Qiangdao county. For so many years, baimaqiang people have been living in the mountains. Their base camp is in the mountains. Under this premise, they can't be short of food. "
Pang Tong said: "but their frequent downhill visits prove that they demand a lot of food."
Yang Xiu then said, "my Lord, in fact, I found a problem in my humble position. Whether it's Baima Qiang or shaodang Qiang, most of the Qiang people in the northwest like to hoard grain. "
"They have a paranoid hoarding of grain."
"In the bitter and cold areas of Northwest China, not only are foreigners rampant, but the weather is also quite bad, and there are few good times. So it leads to their paranoia about food. "
Yang Xiu suggested: "the humble consideration is whether we can work hard on food."
After hearing this, Zhang Xiu's eyes narrowed. This is a feasible strategy.
Take grain as a breakthrough point.
Baimaqiang is greedy. Once there is a large-scale grain supply, baimaqiang will probably send troops.
Sima Yi looked coldly and said slowly: "all the Baima Qiang people don't live in flat and wide places, but almost all hide in the mountains. It's almost difficult to find the place where the baimaqiang live. "
"Moreover, there are mountains everywhere in the mountains. After our army entered, on the one hand, they were not familiar with the situation; on the other hand, they were not good at fighting in the mountains. As long as we enter the mountains, we can't give full play to our advantages. "
"Even if there are 20000 burning Qiang people, even if they are good at fighting, they will not have an advantage. In this vast and boundless mountain, let alone 100000 people, no matter how many people are thrown into it, there will be no impact and no waves. "
Sima Yi said: "I think it's unwise to attack baimaqiang in the mountains. The best way is to lure baimaqiang out of the mountain. It will be much easier for us to solve the problem of baimaqiang who is out of the mountain. "
Zhang Xiu heard, a general plan, rapid formation in the brain.
After the completion of the plan, Zhang Xiu said immediately: "this time, I'm going to use Yang Mou. As Yang Xiu said just now, he really lured baimaqiang down the mountain with grain. "
Sima Yi said, "what will the Lord do?"
Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice, "I'm building a granary near Qiangdao county. They swagger and transport grain batch by batch and store it all in the granary. "
"The location of the granary doesn't need to be kept secret. Let the news get out. I believe that the intelligence of the baimaqiang people will certainly know. After they learn the information, they know that there are countless grains in the granary, and they won't sit back and ignore it. "
"As long as there are people in Baima Qiang who can't suppress their greed, they will come down the mountain."
"Even if the king of Baima Qiang doesn't come out, we can still have a breakthrough if we win a part of Baima Qiang. Of course, if the baimaqiang people pour out their nests and move, it is the best and can be annihilated. "
Zhang Xiu said, "in order to seize the grain in the granary, baimaqiang people will take all kinds of measures, and we can deal with them one by one. This is how I think about the detailed plan... "
Immediately, Zhang Xiu said a detailed plan.
One plan at a time, explain the details of the whole plan clearly.
After hearing this, Sima Yi, Yang Xiu and Pang Tong all agreed with Zhang Xiu's plan. They also carefully reasoned with Zhang Xiu several times and perfected the whole plan. Each measure of the plan was carefully and tightly.
A large-scale plan is completely formed.
After the details were finalized, Zhang Xiu said: "this time, we will try to win the baimaqiang. If you don't kill baimaqiang, you swear not to be a human being. "
For baimaqiang, Zhang Xiu has a strong desire to kill.
Sima Yi said: "the Lord's plan is bound to succeed."
Zhang Xiu immediately sent someone to call Huang Zhong, in front of Huang Zhong, said the next plan. After hearing this, Huang Zhong thought it was feasible, so he left to carry out the order.
Eight miles northeast of the camp, a granary sprang up.
Granary covers a vast area.
After the completion of the granary, Huang Zhong issued an order, and the subsequent grain and money were transported in batch by batch. In less than five days, there were no less than 300000 stones of grain, and countless wealth and armor.All kinds of equipment are hidden in it.
The news spread quickly.
The hiding place of baimaqiang is called Minshan, which is a mountain range near Yizhou.
Deep in the mountains, a slightly flat place.
It's a big village.
It is the location of the king's tent of baimaqiang.
Han Sui and Ma Chao were also there. After they withdrew from Hanyang County, they withdrew in a hurry and gathered some troops along the way. Even after they left Hanyang County, along the way, they plundered some grain and replenished themselves.
After arriving at Wudu County, they went into the mountain.
When he entered the mountain, Han Sui had ten thousand infantry, two thousand cavalry and some grain.
This is all the power of Han Sui.
Under Ma Chao's command, there were 3000 cavalry, 5000 infantry and a certain amount of grain.
No matter Han Sui or Ma Chao, they all have a certain strength, but with their 10000 or 20000 troops, it's nothing in front of Zhang Xiu.
If Zhang Xiu wants to defeat Han Sui and Ma Chao, it's like crushing an ant. Therefore, they have to rely on the power of Baima Qiang to fight back against Zhang Xiu. However, when Han Sui entered the mountain, he did not persuade the head of baimaqiang to send troops for some time.
The interests of both sides have not been really agreed.
In a camp.
Han Sui and Ma Chao sat opposite each other.
Ma Chao's handsome face showed a trace of impatience and said: "father-in-law, under the present situation, we have never persuaded the Qiang king of Baima Qiang. He wants to be the king of Qiang in Liangzhou and unify all the Qiang people in Liangzhou. Why don't you agree to him? "
After a pause, Ma Chao continued: "although the king of Qiang once said that he had defeated Zhang Xiu and wanted to take your son as a hostage to ensure that he would become the king of Qiang in Liangzhou, what's the point? As long as we carry out the agreement, there is nothing we can't do. "
Han then snorted and said in a deep voice, "if the king of Qiang unifies the Qiang people in Liangzhou, his strength will be strong and almost invincible. If such conditions are agreed, the consequences will be unimaginable. It's not a matter of hostages or hostages. It's a matter of no hostages. "
Ma Chao said: "your consideration is too long-term. Even, we only need to defeat Zhang Xiu with the help of baimaqiang. As long as Zhang Xiu withdraws, we'll go back on it. "
"I haven't considered the details yet," Han Sui said
Ma Chao said in a deep voice: "do you want revenge or not. Today, Zhang Xiu has been killed in Qiangdao county. He is just outside the mountain. Do you want to sit back and ignore him? "
Han Sui said coldly, "Meng Qi, I want revenge more than anyone else."
"Newspaper!"
At this time, outside the battalion commander, there were soldiers shouting. After that, the soldiers entered and reported: "general, the king of Qiang, please go to the meeting with General Ma."
"I see!"
Han then answered, and the soldiers backed down.
Han Sui stood up, looked at Ma Chao and said, "let's go!"
Ma Chao also stood up and went out of the camp with Han Sui to the king's tent of Baima Qiang.
