In the following days, Zhang Yuntian spent all day in the handsome tent, discussing the customs and customs of Xiliang with Jia Xu and Li Ru, and rarely sent troops to fight. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Whenever they encountered Han Sui's troops, they immediately withdrew their troops to avoid them, and when they encountered Ma Teng's troops, they grabbed them and fought them to the death.

There were few large-scale battles on either side, but small battles of hundreds or thousands of men continued one after another, and this lasted for about a month, and as the Qiang forces gathered more and more, the frequency of fighting decreased.

These things seem extremely unreasonable, and it seems that Han Sui is brewing a big war.

However, Jia Xu and Li Ru had already expected all this, and they still drank and had fun with Zhang Yuntian every day, and Li Ru was a general, so he spoke extremely cautiously, for fear of offending the new lord.

Jia Xu is different, he is in the prime of life, and Zhang Yuntian specially promoted him, so he is in full swing.

At noon on this day, Jia Xu pinched his fingers and counted the date, looked up at the sky again, and said to Zhang Yuntian with a smile: "Congratulations to the lord, the Qiang people will disperse today, it's time to agree on the new master of Xiliang!" ”

As soon as his words fell, suddenly there was a burst of shouts and killings from the Qiang camp, and then puffs of smoke rose into the air.

About half an hour later, Han Sui personally escorted Ma Teng, and under the supervision of the Xiliang army, he walked in front of Zhang Yuntian step by step, disarmed and surrendered.

All this coincides with Jia Xu and Li Ru's calculations, although Han Sui has a strategy, but he does not understand people's hearts, at the same time as he accepted Zhang Yuntian's gifts, he has lost the trust of Ma Teng and others in him, originally the Qiang people were fighting on their own, improvised patchwork, although they were ostensibly under the command of Han Sui, but they were still loyal to different leaders.

Later, Zhang Yuntian only picked the army of Ma Teng and others to fight, but only let Han Sui go, in order to make others think that Han Sui had accepted bribes and conspired with the Xiliang army.

This strategy seems very simple, but the key is to choose the right person, if the gift is not given to Han Sui, but to Ma Teng, it is very likely to be rejected by the upright Ma Teng, even if he reluctantly accepts it, with Han Sui's wisdom in the future, it is easy to see through the divisive plan.

But it is different to give it to Han Sui, although Ma Teng and others have the courage, but Zhiluo is a little anxious, they are all red-faced men, they are not afraid of death when they go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but their perception of the conspiracy and tricks of the strategists is much duller, and their own troops have suffered heavy casualties, but Han Sui's troops have few losses, and there is wine and meat to eat, such a gap is even more convinced of their suspicion of Han Sui.

Therefore, the more the Qiang tribe gathered, the more likely it was that there would be disagreements between them, and the contradictions between Han Sui and the others would intensify, and in the end, they would end up meeting each other with swords.

Han Sui was much smarter than others, so he made the first move, held a banquet in the name of clarifying the misunderstanding, and by the way, he served these Qiang generals with the pot, he knew that his status in the hearts of the Qiang people was greatly reduced, so he simply escorted these people to Xiliang Army to ask for merit and reward.

Xiliang is a remote place, adjacent to the Qiang and Xiongnu, although the combat effectiveness of these foreign tribes is not as good as the elite of Xiliang, but the annoyance is that they always come to harass and rob every now and then, the purpose is to rob the grain, grass and women, never conquer the city, if you do not send troops to defend it, sooner or later you will lose the hearts of the people, but give up the land.

Therefore, Zhang Yuntian needs to have locals as helpers, and it will not work at all if the Han Dynasty sends a few officials over.

What's more, now that the situation between the DPRK and China is chaotic, Zhang Yuntian really needs to have a place to stay, and in case of any further disputes, he will have a base for advancing and retreating.

Now Han Sui has defected to Cheng, which has invisibly helped a lot.

Zhang Yuntian appeased Han Sui, released Ma Teng, sent grain, grass, cattle and sheep, promised to give the Han Dynasty an official position, and rightfully took charge of the northwest region of Xiliang.

Han Sui has no way out, of course, he is grateful to Dai De, as for Ma Teng, he originally intended to defect to the Han Dynasty, according to the development of historical facts, he did become a prince all the way, and was loyal to the Han Dynasty until he was killed by Cao Cao.

In this way, Zhang Yuntian easily took the entire Xiliang with the loss of more than 1,000 people, and also incorporated tens of thousands of troops from Ma Teng and Han Sui, with a huge momentum.

Zhang Yuntian sent Jia Xu and Guo Yan to garrison Hanzhong, Ma Teng and Li Wei to garrison Tianshui, Han Sui and Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew stationed in Wancheng, and the rest of the generals returned to Chang'an with him, bringing only 5,000 elites on the return trip.

Such a layout looks very scattered, but in fact it guards the entrances and exits of various states and counties, Hanzhong is the only way to enter and exit Shudi, Tianshui is to resist the Qiang people, to prevent sneak attacks, Wancheng can enter Jingzhou to the south, surround Chang'an and Luoyang to the north, and map the Central Plains to the east.

As for only returning to Chang'an with 5,000 elites, and did not choose to return with a large army, first, he didn't want the court to know his old background, and second, Zhang Yuntian knew very well that although Wang Yun was a little inflated now, at most he was just afraid of himself, and he would not be murderous!

And even if he wants to kill himself, he doesn't have that ability, Lu Bu is not a vegetarian.

Zhang Yuntian stationed his troops outside the city, led by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, and himself took Lu Bu and thirty of his relatives into Chang'an City lightly.

When the people of Chang'an heard that the hero who defeated the barbarians was back, they lined up a long line early, and welcomed them, and when they saw that the leader was a young man in his early twenties, they were all amazed, you must know that Han Sui and Ma Teng were the characters who gave Dong Zhuo a great headache, and almost took Dong Zhuo's life in a battle, and when facing Zhang Yuntian, he was defeated in less than three months.

The news of Han Sui and Ma Teng's surrender was tightly sealed by Zhang Yuntian, otherwise these people would definitely be so shocked that their jaws would have to drop.

The young lady from a big family on the side of the road frequently sent autumn waves to Zhang Yuntian secretly, and even some children were learning from Zhang Yuntian's appearance, shouting big heroes in their mouths, and the scene was very warm.

Wang Yun followed Emperor Xian to welcome him at the gate of the palace, and welcomed Zhang Yuntian and others all the way to the top of the main hall.

This is not that Wang Yun changed his personality and attached importance to Zhang Yuntian, but because the tradition is like this, whenever there is a triumphant general, the emperor and a hundred officials must be greeted at the palace gate, which is the most basic etiquette, and also shows respect for the war dead.

When he came to the court, Wang Yun first read out the edict and promoted Zhang Yuntian to the general of Sanpin Anxi, and his subordinates Jia Xu Zhang Liao and others were also rewarded.

When Zhang Yuntian was appointed as a general before, he had come to the main hall once, and this was the second time, but he found that the officials standing on both sides had many more faces.
