Chapter 445

The old King of Shaodang Qiang's expression was heavy.

Beigong Boyu was not in a hurry, just looking quietly at the old King of Shaodang Qiang who was considering.

"If we go to war, it will be long and protracted. Now that it is hard to be stable, do you and I want to capture Liangzhou?" The old King of Shaodang Qiang looked at Beigong Boyu.

"Stable?"

"Heh." Beigong Boyu laughed: "Do you think that Duan Yu is of the same generation as Liang Gu?"

"Go and inquire, Duan Yu has already recruited soldiers in Hanyang Commandery."

"Ten days ago, Duan Yu gathered all the officials of Hanyang Commandery and issued a pre-war recruitment regarding the expedition against the Western Qiang."

"And he has already written to the imperial court."

"Do you think that even if you don't fight, you can stay out of it?"

"Shaodang Qiang is only one place away from Hanyang, and it is one of the largest tribes among the Western Qiang. Since Duan Yu wants to fight, he will definitely attack you big tribes first."

"Don't think I'm alarmist; you can go and inquire, this is not a secret," Beigong Boyu said.

"What?"

The old King of Shaodang Qiang was stunned, his eyes wide open.

"I swear in the name of my wife, if you don't believe me, you can naturally go and inquire."

"In a few days, Duan Yu will definitely send troops. At that time, if you want to resist again, I'm afraid it won't be so easy."

"I have said all I have to say, as for whether to do it or not, it's up to you."

The old King of Shaodang Qiang frowned tightly.

Beigong Boyu couldn't possibly use such things to deceive him.

If Duan Yu really intends to send troops to attack the Western Qiang.

Then they certainly cannot sit still and wait for death.

Duan Yu's reputation...

Had already spread among the Qiang people long ago.

Fighting in the south of the desert, burning Tanhanshan, shooting and killing the Chanyu of Xianbei, and capturing the son of the Chanyu of the Southern Xiongnu.

He is known as the tiger general of this generation of the Great Han.

Coupled with the Dianling Qiang, Zhong Qiang, and Canlang Qiang he beheaded before, it added to Duan Yu's fierce name.

The old King of Shaodang Qiang would not do things like actively provoking Duan Yu.

But if it is said that Duan Yu wants to actively attack the Western Qiang, then he certainly cannot sit still and wait for death.

"You... what do you plan to do?" The old King of Shaodang Qiang looked at Beigong Boyu and asked.

"With our strength alone, it is not enough to eliminate Duan Yu, and what we want is the entire Liangzhou, not just eliminating Duan Yu."

"Only unity, unity."

Beigong Boyu stretched out one hand and then clenched it into a fist.

"Facing Duan Yu alone, we will all be defeated one by one. Only by clenching into a fist and hitting out will Duan Yu feel pain."

"You, with your prestige, old King, gather the Qiang tribes of Jincheng Commandery to unite, and then gradually unite all the Western Qiang."

Jixian.

Since Duan Yu wrote to the imperial court to launch a war against the Western Qiang, Hanyang Commandery has entered a total war mobilization.

The imperial court's document has come down.

With the unanimous agreement of the Three Excellencies and the Emperor, Duan Yu can launch a war against the Western Qiang.

But the premise is that because the imperial court's troops are short and the grain and grass are insufficient, and it is the autumn harvest, they cannot provide grain and grass for this expedition against the Qiang, so the money and grain needed must be raised by Duan Yu himself.

And the imperial court only allocated one of the five regiments of the Northern Army, the Changshui regiment, to participate in the war.

After the autumn harvest, commandery troops will be drawn from Hedong Commandery and Youfufeng to go to Hanyang Commandery.

But by that time, it should already be winter.

Winter cannot be fought, and they will only wait until next spring to participate in the war.

But Duan Yu cannot wait until next spring.

Next spring, an event bigger than the expedition against the Qiang will break out.

The Huang Jin Rebellion!

The Huang Jin Rebellion that swept the entire Great Han is coming soon.

Therefore, Duan Yu wants to enter winter this year.

That is, before November, end the expedition against the Qiang.

Three months!

Three months of time.

In this way, Duan Yu simply cannot wait for the support of the commandery troops from Youfufeng and Hedong Commandery.

But the Changshui regiment, one of the five regiments of the Northern Army, is all cavalry, which is exactly what Duan Yu is short of.

And what Duan Yu didn't expect is.

The one who led the Changshui regiment was Yuan Shao.

At this time.

A large camp had already been erected outside the west gate of Jixian.

The commandery troops gathered from all counties in Hanyang Commandery were constantly gathering toward the West Camp.

Outside the camp, cavalry teams occasionally patrolled back and forth, their horse hooves hurried.

And inside the camp, it was also a scene of hot activity.

Inside the central army tent.

In the central army tent of about a hundred square meters, more than a dozen desks were placed on both sides.

Behind the main seat in the middle of Duan Yu, there was a huge sheepskin map.

It depicted the map and terrain of the entire Liangzhou, as well as the distribution and location of each tribe of the Qiang.

Around the tent, there were several bronze crouching tiger statues and racks full of weapons.

Besides this, in the middle of the tent, a huge terrain sand table was placed.

Duan Yu, holding a long stick as thick as a finger, stood in front of the sand table.

Beside him were Jia Xu, dressed in black robes and covered with a black cloak, and Gai Xun, wearing black official robes and covered with a fur cloak.
