Chapter 065 Strategic Defense

Previously, the Zhou Dynasty was the land of Yongzhou, before the Spring and Autumn Period it was occupied by the Xirong, and the Qin Dynasty was the pastoral land of the Yuezhi.

In the sixth year of the Yuan Dynasty (174 BC) of Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu occupied Hexi. The Xiongnu built Gaizang City, and then King Xiutu established Xiutu (Tuge) City in Gushui.

In the second year of Yuanshou in the Western Han Dynasty (121 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Hussar General Huo Qubing to an expedition to Hexi and defeated the Xiongnu.

After that, the government of the Western Han Dynasty established counties in the Hexi Corridor. In order to demonstrate the military power of the Han Empire, Wuwei County was established in the former territory of King Xiutu, from which Wuwei got its name.

However, "Book of Han: Chronicles of Emperor Wu" states that both Wuwei County and Jiuquan County were established in the second year of Yuanshou (121 BC), while "Book of Han: Geography" states that they were "opened" in the fourth year of Taichu (101 BC). , the two theories contradict each other.

In addition, there are many historical materials in "Historical Records" and "Hanshu" that contradict the above records.

Contemporary academic circles are also inconclusive, and there are different theories such as its establishment in the Zhaoxuan era and its establishment in the early years of Yuanding (116-115 BC).

Wuwei County is under the Liangzhou Prefectural History Department and includes 10 counties including Guzang, Zhangye, Wuwei, Xiutu, Tuoci, Luanniao, Pupai, Yuwei, Cangsong and Xuanwei, with Guzang (today's Liangzhou District) as the Governance office.

According to the original history, in June of the first year of the Xingping reign of Emperor Xian of the Eastern Han Dynasty (194), Yongzhou was resettled, and Wuwei County was governed by Yongzhou Prefecture, which governed 6 counties, including Guzang, Zhangye, Wuwei, Xiutu, Tuoci, Luanniao, and Pucuo. , Yuwei, Xuanwei, Cangsong, Ganyin, Zuli, Xianmei, Zuoqi Qianren.

In October of the first year of Huangchu (220), Emperor Wen of the Three Kingdoms, Liangzhou was resettled and administered 7 counties including Wuwei. The prefectural government was Guzang County, Wuwei County. Wuwei County led Guzang, Xuanwei, Wuwei, Tuici, Cangsong, Xianmei, There are 14 counties in total: Liqian, Zuli, Xiutu, Luanniao, Pupu, Zhangye, Quyin and Yuwei.

3月22日，华雄、徐荣、董越、胡轸四人领军至枝阳，3月25日至允街，3月28日至令居，4月8日至张掖，4月10日至揟次，4月15日至武威郡郡城，4月22日至休屠，4月25日至宣威，4月30至武威。

After Hua Xiong, Xu Rong, Dong Yue, and Hu Zhen left, Huangfu Chong mobilized Niu Fu, Li Jue, Guo Si, and Fan Chou to take Dong Zhuo's original 2 troops, and Zhao Yun to take 5000 imperial troops, and ordered them to march from Jincheng. Arriving at Lingzhou in Beidi County, everyone gathered on March 3 and led the troops out of the city on March 23.

Lingzhou, originally called Lingzhou, was established in the fourth year of Emperor Hui of the Western Han Dynasty (191 BC).

"Hanshu" records: "Lingzhou was established in the fourth year of Emperor Hui (191 BC).

There is a river called Qiyuan, named Feiyuan, and Mang is called Lingzhou.

Shigu said: "The garden is called Ma Mu."

You can live on the island in the water. This place is on the island of the river. It goes up and down with the water without being destroyed, so it is called Lingzhou. ’ It is also called the strange river. Both gardens are located in the north. "

Lingzhou was established in Lingzhou County in the fourth year of Emperor Hui of the Western Han Dynasty (191 BC), which belongs to Beidi County. Its former address is in today's Wuzhong City.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was Lingzhou County. In the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was called Bogulu Town, and later it was changed to Lingzhou.

The Western Wei Dynasty was changed to Pule County in Lingzhou.

In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it was changed to Lingzhou and Lingwu County.

In the Sui Dynasty, it was changed to Lingwu County and the administrative seat was returned to Le County.

In the Tang Dynasty, Lingzhou was restored and Shuofang Jiedushi was stationed here.

Tianbao was first renamed Lingwu County, and later changed to Lingzhou.

In the Song Dynasty, it was Xixia Xiangqing Army and Xiping Mansion. In the Yuan Dynasty, it was called Lingzhou, which belonged to Ningxia Fuxing Road, Zhongshu Province, Gansu and other places.

In the seventeenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1384), the Yellow River flooded Lingzhou, and "the city moved three times." In the third year of Xuande (1428), Lingzhou City was moved for the third time to today's Lingwu City.

In the Ming Dynasty, Lingzhou Guards Qianhu Station was established, which belonged to Ningxia Guard in Shaanxi Province.

Qing Dynasty was also Lingzhou, belonging to Ningxia Prefecture of Gansu Province.

In the second year of the Republic of China (1913), the state was changed from county to county, and Lingzhou was changed to Lingwu County, which belonged to Ningxia Road, Gansu Province.

After 1950, the original Wuzhongbao under the jurisdiction of Lingwu County was changed to Wuzhong City (county level).

So why did Huangfu Chong let Niu Fu, Li Jue, Guo Bang, Fan Chou, and Zhao Yun go to Lingzhou? You know, Lingzhou and Xuanwei are 330 kilometers away!

If anything goes wrong on either side, it will be a disaster!

However, this was Huangfu Chong's helpless move.

Although Liangzhou is dangerous to defend, there are only a few cities and there are many open spaces between the cities close to the grassland. Especially from Xuanwei in Wuwei County to Sanshui in Longxi and Lingzhou in Beidi, there is a large open space. , very suitable for large-scale cavalry tactics.

Now that Xuanwei and Wuwei have troops to defend here, it is relatively safe, but what if the enemy goes all the way south from Woye Sufang County and passes through Beidi County, Yingyin, Miyi Mountain, and Chaona?

And don’t worry, this time we will not only fight the Xianbei people, but also the Southern Huns!

And what if you don’t guard Lingzhou?

Huangfuchong had only one choice, and considering that the enemy was going south, Huangfuchong had no choice but to divide his troops to guard Puzhong, Yingyang, and Sanshui. He also had to gamble on which one could block the enemy's move southward.

And if the enemy has the courage, he can go straight in, abandon Pu Zhong, rush directly towards Tue Ci and Zhang Ye, and then go south to cut off Huangfuchong's connection and supplies with the Central Plains.

At that time, once the other two Xianbei or Qiang people attack, how can Huangfu Chong of Longxi and Xifu alone be able to defeat the Xianbei and Qiang people.

Therefore, in order to change the situation of passive defense, Huangfu Chong transformed it into strategic defense.

The first step in strategic defense is to turn passivity into initiative. This is why Huangfu Chong placed five people, Hua Xiong, Xu Rong, Dong Yue, Hu Zhen, and Zhao Yun, and nearly 30,000 troops in Lingzhou to prepare for the attack. The purpose is to attract enemies.

Hey, come and fight!

On March 3, Hua Xiong, Xu Rong, Dong Yue, Hu Zhen, and Zhao Yun went to Yuyu, to Yingyin on April 28, and to Sanshui on April 4. Then they encountered a sandstorm and got lost. , lost contact with Huangfu Chong.

Huangfu Chong suddenly became anxious. Just as he was about to lead his troops to look for them, he saw a messenger coming to report that the Qiang people were attacking. Huangfu Chong had to let Gan Ning lead 5000 imperial guards to look for them while he went north to support them.

The invading Qiang people were Shaodang Qiang and Zhong Qiang.

From a sky perspective, the distance between Jincheng and Shaodangqiang is only a piece of land, very close, but the terrain of this land is mountainous.

It was this mountainous area that forced the Qiang cavalry to take a long detour, but fortunately this long road was a main road and they could move forward quickly.

As for the infantry and archers, they can take shortcuts and trails in the mountainous areas. In the past, the Qiang people might have worried about Huangfuchong ambushing here, but now, Huangfuchong went to fight the Xianbei people, so the Qiang people were not afraid at all.

Shaodang Qiang is an ancient Qiang people.

It was named after Shaodang, the 18th generation grandson of Wuyi Yuanjian. Shaodang's great-great-grandson Dianliang originally lived in Dayun Valley (today's Guide, Qinghai Province) north of the Yellow River, but Dianliang united with other Qiang and defeated them. First, the Qiang were eliminated and they captured the land in the middle of Dayu.

Immediately Shaodang Qiang began to grow stronger.

After Dian Liang's death, his son Dian Wu succeeded him. After Dian Wu succeeded to the throne, the tribe became increasingly powerful.

In the autumn of 57, Dianwu led a rebellion and attacked Longxi County. All the Qiang people who had surrendered rebelled against the Han.
