"Reward! Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men, as long as they promise high-ranking officials, gold and silver treasures, these Qiang people must not even know their relatives and mothers for the sake of benefits! No matter how powerful Ma Chao is, he is just one person, and when the time comes, the three generals will be annoyed to entangle him, and I will command the Qiang people to storm Tongguan. Xu Shu finally set a strategy.

Cao Ren said: "This method is feasible, Ma Chao has courage and no strategy, as long as he is led to a distance and not let the Qiang people see it." Although Tongguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is relative to Kanto, if you attack from Kansai, it is relatively easy, only 30,000, you can capture Tongguan. ”

Xu Shu said: "For the sake of safety, it is better to attack all of them and attack Tongguan with 100,000 troops." ”

"No!"

The plan was decided, and Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, and Cao Ren galloped into the Qiang people, contacted the leader of the Qiang people, and promised high-ranking officials and gold and silver treasures, which immediately aroused the greed of the Qiang people.

After a while, the commanders of the various tribes led by the three major tribes of Burning Dangqiang, Shenwolf Qiang, and Baimaqiang gathered together under the call of the Qiang King of Baimaqiang. The crowd had a fierce discussion, and after arguing for more than half an hour, they jointly promoted Dowa, the king of Baima Qiangqiang, as the new king of Xiqiang.

As soon as Dowa became the king of Xiqiang, he immediately issued an order to the leaders: "We rebelled against the Heavenly General, just to get more benefits, now Chang'an City is in ruins, and the people of our tribes have suffered countless casualties, but what have we gained?" The person named Cao Cao was just a slave who died in the country, and he was favored by General Tian, so he was proud to gain a foothold in Guanzhong. Although we were given high-ranking officials, everyone should understand that it is impossible for the Han people to really do it for our officials. The treasury and arsenal of Chang'an City are well guarded by Cao Cao's people, and we are not allowed to take them, but the most people who died were our Qiang people, not their Han people. I think. We have the right to claim to become the overlord of this northwest, since they don't give it to us, we will take it ourselves, the people of Guanzhong are far richer than the people of Liangzhou, we are now pretending to follow Xu Shu and others to Tongguan, all the places along the way are looted, captured the Han people as slaves, and brought back to our station, we are worth the trip! ”

All the tribal leaders nodded yes. So everyone secretly made a plan and decided to respond to Xu Shu's call and pretend to attack Tongguan with 100,000 troops.

After Xu Shu received the reply from the Qiang people, he was overjoyed at the moment, and selected 30,000 brave men to be arranged in the front, let Cao Ren command, and accompanied the army of 70,000 to help the battle, and he personally led it.

After a while. Only then did the 100,000 Qiang cavalry set off, and Xu Shu served as the commander-in-chief of the three armies. Let Cao Ren be the governor of the front, Xiahou Tang and Xiahou Yuan were the left and right vanguards, and the forward 30,000 people who dared to die opened the way, Xu Shu led the rest of the Qiang leaders with 70,000 cavalry to follow behind, and the 100,000 army galloped eastward.

As soon as the 100,000 army hit the road, the counties and villages it passed along the way. When he saw that all his belongings were looted, he raised his knife and killed him if he resisted slightly.

This greatly surprised Xu Shu's expectations, seeing this situation, Xu Shu immediately turned around and said to the leaders of the Qiang people of the various tribes behind him: "We are going to attack Tongguan." As long as Tongguan is conquered, as much as you want, my lord will give as much as you want, now please restrain your subordinates, so that they don't do anything out of the ordinary again, otherwise, the people of Guanzhong will be persecuted and will turn to Huaxia. ”

Dowa said: "We have died so many people, and you have not fulfilled your promises, so we have to take them ourselves, their brothers and fathers have died in battle, so why make a fuss about taking some property to comfort ourselves?" ”

"But...... As long as you can capture Tongguan and capture the emperor of Huaxia, you can have all the property of Huaxia, the people of Guanzhong are too barren, and the people of Guandong are not as rich as the people of Kanto, so we should go to Kanto and rob again, right? Xu Shu said bitterly.

"Kanto is still far from here, let's take a little property first, and it won't get in the way." Dowa didn't take Xu Shu to heart at all, and said arrogantly.

Xu Shu saw the greedy eyes of Dowa and the other clan leaders, and instantly understood that this was definitely a big mistake. But now they have a request for these Qiang people, and they need to use the strength of the Qiang people to capture Tongguan, and he can't restrain them, and he can only watch these people being brutalized by the Qiang people.

Cao Ren, Xiahoudun, and Xiahou Yuan walked in front, and the Qiang riders behind them did not listen to orders, and they were helpless, seeing the Qiang people looting property without authorization, and robbing anything they saw, they couldn't help but be angry.

"Fuck! How dare these people do this? I'm going to kill ......," Xiahoudun was the first to say angrily.

Cao Ren hurriedly interrupted Xiahoudun's words and said, "There are 100,000 people here, if you kill one, you will be the enemy of these 100,000 people." ”

"Then you can't just watch them loot, right? After this, won't Guanzhong still be chaotic? Xiahou said.

"Help...... Help......"

A woman's shrill scream came from the moment, attracting the attention of Cao Ren, Xiahoudun, and Xiahou Yuan, who saw several Qiang people pulling a woman to a haystack and tearing the woman's clothes naked, and several Qiang people began to use violence against the woman......

After the three of them saw it, they all felt a heartache. Xiahoudun couldn't help it, with a loud shout of "ah", he rode his horse and galloped, raised his big knife and killed all those Qiang people.

After the rest of the Qiang people saw that the soldiers of their tribe were killed, they all came to besiege Xiahoudun together, and dozens of cavalry rushed over together and surrounded Xiahoudun inside.

Seeing this, Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan were all panicked, seeing that the Qiang people were besieging Xiahoudun more and more, they hurriedly took a hundred horsemen behind them to save Xiahoudun, and a scuffle came over, attracting more attention from the Qiang people, and hundreds of Qiang cavalry surrounded Cao Ren, Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan and other more than 100 people.

Xu Shu was walking in the Chinese army, with the Xiqiang king Dowa and others, and suddenly saw a Qiang cavalry galloping from the front, he didn't know why he had a trace of ominous premonition.

"King! King! Oh no, Cao Ren, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan and others are slaughtering our people! As soon as the Qiang rode to Dova's side, he shouted loudly.

When Dowa heard this, he was shocked and immediately drew his saber. Turning his head and preparing to raise his knife to slash at Xu Shu, he knew that Xu Shu had disappeared, so he glanced at it, but saw that Xu Shu ran backwards, retreated all the way to the west, and shuttled between the Qiang horses. It quickly vanished.

"Thief, mother! Kill Cao Ren, Xiahou Xuan, and Xiahou Yuan! The order went down, and everywhere I passed, I burned and robbed all the Han people, arrested all the Han people, and continued to move forward, and did not retreat until I was in front of Tongguan! Dowa commanded loudly.

"No!"

Dowa hurriedly said to a Qu Shuai behind him: "You hurry back to Chang'an, let the remaining more than 100,000 horsemen all take action, and we will sack Guanzhong." In the past, Beigong Boyu and Han Sui failed to complete the great cause. It will be completed in my hands, bring all the Han people back to Qiangzhong, and kill all those who do not follow, and leave no one behind! ”

The Qu Shuai said "promise", immediately turned the horse's head, and rushed towards Chang'an alone.

Dowa took many tribal leaders to the front line and commanded the people to besiege Cao Ren, Xiahoudun, and Xiahou Yuan.

At this time, Cao Ren, Xiahou Xuan, and Xiahou Yuan were surrounded by hundreds of cavalry. Although there are a lot of Qiang people killed, I only feel that the more I kill, the more I kill. It's endless. Seeing that it would definitely not work to go on like this, the three of them immediately decided to break through, shook their spirits respectively, concentrated all their strength, and rushed out in the southwest direction, but the Qiang people couldn't resist it. was rushed out of the encirclement by three people with dozens of cavalry.

When Dowa arrived, Cao Ren, Xiahoudun, and Xiahou Yuan were gone, and he did not give orders to chase them, but only let the soldiers continue to advance eastward, burning and looting along the way. The people of Guanzhong suffered greatly.

As long as the Qiang people see something, no matter what it is, they all grab it, put the property on horseback, the population loots and ties it with ropes, and they are in pairs, and they kill if they are disobedient, and for a time the people complain and mourn all over the field, and the dead are countless, and many people who have just fled from Chang'an City have left behind the counties, and they have suffered this kind of disaster at this time, which can be called a catastrophe.

But he said that Xu Shu escaped by himself, and seeing that no one was chasing after him, he realized that he had made a mistake, forgot the greedy nature of the Qiang people, and couldn't help but scold the Qiang people with hatred in his heart. But scolding and scolding, all he can do is to return to Chang'an, because there are still more than 100,000 Qiang people in Chang'an City, once the news is obtained, the entire Guanzhong will become a scorched earth, and the great cause of recovering the country will no longer exist.

While galloping, he suddenly heard a horse chasing behind him, and turned around to see a Qiang Qu Shuai, he thought that this was to go back to ventilate the news, immediately turned the horse's head, drew the sword in his waist, and rushed towards the Qu Shuai, the two horses intersected, and a sword cut off the head of the Qu Shuai.

Xu Shu inserted his sword into the sheath, turned the horse's head again, and began to gallop back.

Walking to Baling City, I suddenly saw a mighty army galloping in front of me, the first person was heroic, a suit of armor, and looked quite elegant, but I saw the word "Suo" written on the banner, compared to the neighborhood, and then I saw that it was Suoxu.

Xu Shu was shocked, and hurriedly found a place to hide, but saw that there was another person beside Suo Xu, it was Cao Zhen, and when he saw this, he immediately understood, it must be Suo Xu who had already been attached. He hurriedly beckoned and shouted, "Zidan! Zidan! ”

Cao Zhen saw Xu Shu from afar, and immediately galloped quickly, came to Xu Shu, reined in the horses, and shouted: "Military advisor, I just came to report the situation ahead, and the lord sent me to ask you, why did the Qiang people burn and loot in front?" By whom? ”

"Alas! Don't mention it, I made a mistake and forgot the greedy nature of the Qiang people, they spontaneously burned and killed and looted, and our soldiers couldn't control it. ”

While he was talking, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahou Yuan all came from behind with dozens of cavalry covered in blood, and Suo Xu also stopped the army and rushed over on horseback.

When several people saw each other at the moment, Suo Xu glanced at everyone and immediately asked, "Who is the leader of the Qiang people?" ”

"White Horse Qiang King Dova!" Xu Shu said.

"It was him! Dova is brutal and murderous, and I brought with me an army of 20,000 that came in handy. The people of Guanzhong can no longer endure such a disaster, and must do their best to kill all these Qiang people. Suo Xu said loudly.

After hearing this, Xu Shu, Cao Ren, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Zhen all felt that this was the truth, but there were 100,000 Qiang riders in front of them, how could they say that they would kill them?

Suo Xu saw everyone's worries, and immediately said: "Zhang Xiu and I have returned to the Marquis of Wei, and Zhang Xiu has divided his troops to garrison Wudu and Hanzhong. I am afraid that it will attract the covetousness of neighboring countries. I have ordered Zhang Xiu to appease the Qiang people in Chang'an City, send them with their belongings, send them back, and let him rush to Liangzhou to recruit the officials of the counties of Liangzhou. Now all that is left is these 100,000 Qiang riders, and they must be repaid with blood. ”

For Suoxu the person. Although Xu Shu doesn't know much about it, judging from Chen Qun's admiration, this person does have a set of rules, and he is a general who leads troops. Seeing that Suo Xu's arrangements were in good order, he ordered more than 100,000 Qiang people near Chang'an City to retreat to Qiangzhong with a snap of his fingers, and personally led troops to kill the Qiang people who were in chaos, which has proved that he is a figure who is both civil and military.

Xu Shu glanced at Cao Zhen, saw Cao Zhen nodded, and said, "There are 100,000 Qiang people." You only have 20,000, how can you kill them all in a short time? ”

Suo Xu said: "Just borrow a few of you to use it, I have my own plan to break the enemy, but I don't know if you are willing to temporarily grieve and become my prisoner." ”

After hearing this, Xu Shu's eyes immediately lit up and asked, "Do you want to ......?"

He was halfway through his sentence before he stopped abruptly. A satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Cao Zhen was the first to stand up and said, "The lord has an order." Let us all obey General Suo's orders, and there must be no mistakes. I, Cao Zidan, am willing to help General Suo! ”

Xu Shu, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Ren listened to Cao Zhen's words, and they all did not hesitate, and immediately said, "Please give an order to General Suo!" ”

Suo Xu immediately said his plan, which was recognized by everyone. So Xu Shu, Cao Ren, Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Zhen and others were willing to be prisoners of Suo Xu. Suo Xu was not polite, and asked the soldiers to tie up all these people, and then sent someone to inform Dova and beg to meet.

The scout rode out first, and Suo Xu and the others were dressed as soldiers of the Qin State. The banner is also the banner of the Qin State, 20,000 horses marching all the way to the east, the gongs and drums along the way, for fear that others will not know, towards the foot of Li Mountain.

At this time, the Qiang people were in chaos in Xinfeng County, burning, killing and looting, doing all kinds of evil, and the people were miserable.

The king of Qiang, Dowa, led all the tribal leaders to stand on a high slope, looking at the devastated Xinfeng county below, and was very happy to see everyone returning with a full load of horses and goods.

Dowa turned his horse's head with a smile on his face, looked at the more than 100 Qu Shuai of various tribes behind him, he pointed behind him and asked, "In the past, my Xiqiang warriors rebelled against the Han many times, but there was such a scene?" Don't talk about the far, let's just talk about the near, Beigong Boyu also once lured us Qiang people to follow them to commit rebellion, but the result was still pacified. Only I, the great King of Xiqiang, the son of the sun god, can lead everyone to burn and loot here. The Han people have bullied us for so long and driven us to the edge, and it should be time for us to rise in Xiqiang in the future. As long as you follow me, I promise that he will win the Central Plains one day, and I will be the emperor, and I will crown you king! ”

"Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! The Qiang people cheered loudly.

At this time, a cavalryman ran over with a Qin army scout, and after seeing Dowa, the cavalryman first whispered a few words, and after hearing this, Dowa's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked the Qin army scout: "Your general really wants to submit to me?" ”

The scout nodded and said, "Yes, King." Our general came from Hanzhong, counterattacked all the way, and defeated Cao Cao and others first, but Cao Cao and others ran too fast and failed to capture them. The generals and Qiang people of my family used to be officials in the same dynasty and were ministers of the same palace, and when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in the past, how harmonious we were, the reason why there was such a conflict was just Cao Cao and others stirring up trouble in the middle. Now the general of my family has learned that the emperor has been killed, and the whereabouts of the crown prince are unknown, but the Qin country is still there, so he is willing to take the king as the main and ask the king to take over the great cause of the Qin country. On the way here, my general captured Xu Shu, Cao Ren, Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan and others, and prepared to use their heads to sacrifice to the sky. In addition to my general, there is also General Zhang Xiu. ”

Dova's heart was overjoyed, the head of the four generals under Ma Chao's account, Suo Xu, who was able to write and martial arts, actually wanted to submit to himself and make himself the emperor, what an honor. And Zhang Xiu, who is also one of the four major generals, also wants to support himself, so that he can be the emperor in Guanzhong, be the emperor of the Han people thoroughly, and trample the Han people under his feet, so does he still need to rob these property?

"Great, where is your general now?" Dowa asked excitedly.

"At present, it has been stationed at the foot of Lishan Mountain, not far from here, and has set up a large camp, and brought fine wine from Chang'an, ready to feast the king. I am also going to hold a pledge meeting with the king, and I have been specially sent to invite the king and all the commanders to go to the carnival with all the clansmen. ”

Dowa was overwhelmed by the victory, he knew that Suo Xu had few soldiers, and there were 100,000 soldiers around him, and there were more than 100,000 people in Chang'an, so many people. Forgive Suoxu didn't dare to play any tricks, and immediately ordered: "Pass the order, the whole army will move to Lishan, everyone will go to the foot of Lishan tonight to carnival, tomorrow this king will be the emperor, you are all my founding heroes, hahahaha......"

As a result, the Qiang people conveyed the order of the Qiang king Dowa, and the 100,000 Qiang people began to gather together. They all returned with a full load, followed Dowa in front to Lishan, and behind were the captive Han people, and went to Lishan in groups.

At the foot of Li Mountain, Suo Xu had set up a large camp that was enough to accommodate more than 100,000 people, and he set up his soldiers on the four corners, and he took hundreds of relatives to prepare fine wine and wait at the door of the barracks. Quietly waiting for the arrival of Dowa, the king of Qiang.

In the evening, Dowa arrived at the Lishan camp with 100,000 men and tens of thousands of prisoners. Seeing Suo Xu personally greeting, surrounded by lights and gongs and drums, he was overjoyed by Suo Xu's reception for a while.

As soon as Dowa arrived at the gate of the military camp, Suo Xu held a bowl of wine in his hand and led all his men to kneel on the ground. Lang shouted: "Welcome to the king." ”

Dowa was very happy by this atmosphere, as if he had really become an emperor, learning the majesty of Ma Teng in the past, and said: "Flat! ”

After Soxu stood up, he walked straight to Dova's side. Holding the bowl of wine, he said to Dova, "Lord, please drink this cup to the full." ”

Dowa didn't think about it, he drank it immediately, then threw the bowl on the ground, and shouted happily: "General Suo, we meet again, but this time it is difficult for General Suo, and from now on you will kneel for me every day." ”

Suo Xu smiled: "This is what the last general should do. King, please enter the camp, it's late tonight, spend the night here, I've let people prepare enough wine, enough for more than 100,000 people to drink, everyone drink happily, tomorrow after the wine wakes up, we will be in Chang'an, and then according to the enthronement ceremony, let the king ascend the throne and call the emperor, in order to stabilize the overall situation. ”

Dowa said: "Very good, you arranged it very well. ”

So, 100,000 Qiang people entered the camp one after another, and all the captives were held in one place, and Suo Xu was already ready to let the soldiers start distributing wine and let them drink happily.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Dowa sat at the top, and after taking a sip of wine, he listened to Suo Xu: "King, I have captured Xu Shu, Cao Ren, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan and others, I heard that they have killed a lot of Qiang people, it is better to bring them up, and it is all up to the king's orders!" ”

Dowa said, "Okay, bring them up!" ”

After a while, Xu Shu, Cao Ren, Xiahou Xuan, and Xiahou Yuan were all tied up by five flowers, and when the four of them saw Suo Xu, they all scolded, Suo Xu scolded them, and the Qiang people present laughed again and again.

"Okay, don't make any noise. Anyway, you don't have long to live, tomorrow I will ascend the throne and become emperor, let you live one more night, let you see me as emperor tomorrow, and then I will use your head to sacrifice to the sky. "Dowa Road.

After Suo Xu heard this, he asked Xu Shu, Cao Ren, Xiahou Xuan, and Xiahou Yuan to all go down, and then began to raise the wine and toast Dowa.

After Dowa drank a large cup again, Suo Xu said: "The king drinks slowly again, and the last general will lead the troops to patrol outside, I am worried that the army of Huaxia Kingdom will take advantage of the weakness, and I have to protect the king." ”

Dowa nodded, and approved.

After Suo Xu came out of the big tent, Dowa was not at ease, and specially sent someone to follow Suo Xu. As a result, the people sent out came back to report that Suo Xu had indeed inspected the military camp outside over and over again, and there was nothing suspicious.

100,000 Qiang people drank together, built bonfires in the camp, ate meat, drank wine, and drank blood heartily.

In the second half of the night, all the 100,000 Qiang people were so drunk that they didn't wake up.

Suo Xu had already prepared a qiē, transferred his generals, released Xu Shu, Cao Ren, Xiahou Xuan, and Xiahou Yuan, and asked Cao Zhen to let go of the captured people, and 20,000 soldiers entered the camp to remove all valuable property, horses, and weapons, and worked for more than two hours before the entire camp was emptied, leaving only the 100,000 drunk Qiang people.

In the end, 20,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of Han people who were released formed a circle around the camp together, and each person held a torch and lit the camp.

Flames broke out everywhere. A fire immediately formed, and there were many flammable items on the ground in the camp, so that the fire spread directly to the entire barracks, and suddenly it was a sea of fire.

The Qiang people are still unaware of themselves, when they feel the danger. It was already too late, for a while, the fire at the foot of Lishan Mountain was soaring, and the groans of pain were endless, and the 100,000 Qiang people were all surrounded by the sea of fire, and many wanted to rush out, but they didn't block back.

The raging fire, burning the flesh of 100,000 Qiang people, although it seems cruel, but everyone has seen it. are very relieved, such a way to die is too cheap for them.

By dawn, the fire had gradually been extinguished, but the smell of burnt paste filled the air, and 100,000 charred corpses were lying on a scorched earth, which made people feel very relieved.

As soon as 100,000 Hu dust burned out, Suo Xu's actions saved the catastrophe that Guanzhong was about to suffer. At least his appearance prevented the Qiang people from continuing to burn and loot. But Guanzhong has already suffered these tribulations, and in the future recovery, it will inevitably be relatively difficult.

Without the help of the Qiang people, Tongguan could not be recaptured, Suo Xu led his troops back to Chang'an, and took the initiative to hand over the command of the army he brought. When he saw the dilapidated Chang'an City with his own eyes. There was a great sorrow in my heart.

At this time, Cao Cao had already been treated by the doctor, and the stone inserted in his chrysanthemum was pulled out, but he couldn't sit, he could only lie there.

After Cao Cao heard about Suo Xu's plan to burn 100,000 Qiang people, he especially praised Suo Xu. Let Suo Xu temporarily return to Hanzhong and continue to guard Hanzhong, and use the soldiers brought by Suo Xu to hand them over to Cao Ren, and let Cao Ren lead the troops to Huayin, where he will build a checkpoint to prevent the attack of Huaxia.

The next day, Cao Cao, with the support of everyone, officially proclaimed himself emperor, changed the name of the country to Wei, and the year name was Jian'an. However, Cao Cao, who was called the emperor, was very weak, because Guanzhong passed through the Chang'an Rebellion, the Qiang people were in trouble, making Guanzhong tired, ten rooms and nine empty, and the army of the whole country was less than 50,000 people. Fortunately, the road in Guanzhong is difficult to navigate, as long as the pass is firmly guarded, although there are ten thousand troops to attack, they will not be moved.

After the Qiang people calamity, Cao Cao launched a new examination of the Qiang nation, the 100,000 people who were burned Cao Cao only said that he was killed by the Huaxia State, and changed the Hu and Han policies in the past, with Cheng Yu as the assassin of Liangzhou, officially erected a banner of recruiting troops and horses in Liangzhou, and recruited all men who were over fifteen years old and less than fifty years old in Liangzhou to enlist in the army, let Xiahou Yuan go to Wudu to garrison, and use Zhang Xiu's meager faith among the Qiang people to appease the Qiang people first, and then let Xu Shu rush to the various tribes in Qiang with gold, silver and jewelry to participate in the killing of horses. This officially appeased the dissatisfaction of the Qiang people.

On the other hand, Cao Cao took Manzhong as his envoy, sent an envoy to occupy Jing Han, and took the initiative to contact Liu Bei, about to be a horn for each other.

……

Tongguan.

After Lin Nan returned from Qin, he has been stationed in Tongguan, and for several days, he has not made any moves, and has been quietly watching the changes, waiting for an opportunity to move.

When he learned that Suo Xu and Zhang Xiu had all returned to Cao Cao, he knew that he had lost the opportunity to seize Guanzhong. It's not that he doesn't want to move, but he can't move, when the 100,000 Qiang people are in turmoil, the people of Guanzhong east of Xinfeng County all drag their families and families to move eastward, so that the refugees fill the entire road to the west, and Lin Nan has no chance to send troops at all.

So, I had to open the city gate of Tongguan, let the refugees enter the pass, and then go all the way from Tongguan to Hongnong, Luoyang and other places to live. Later, when he learned that Cao Ren led his troops to garrison Huayin County and began to build the pass, Lin Nan already knew that the pass was not what he could do now.

Fortunately, seven or eight out of ten of the people in Guanzhong have flowed into the Huaxia country, and the turbulent Guanzhong will inevitably become a barren land in the future, without the people, the fields will be barren, rather than losing troops and losing troops to attack the fortified positions, it is better to consume national strength with them, and when the national strength of the Huaxia country is thriving, it will be able to launch a national unification war, swallow mountains and rivers like a tiger, and unify the entire divided China in one fell swoop.

Lin Nan stayed in Tongguan for half a month, and after half a month, the refugees were immediately properly arranged, and he took Ma Chao, Sima Yi, Zhu Gongdao, Zhu Pingping, Liu Yu and others back to Jicheng.

Tongguan was in danger, handed over to Xu Huang to garrison, Zhou Cang and Lin Yang were the two generals, Zhao Yun led the troops back to Luoyang, and Hongnong was still handed over to Liao Hua.

After traveling west for more than a month, he experienced so many things, and Sima Yi, who accompanied him, was deeply touched, and saw the suffering of the people and the cruelty of the war, which also made him realize. There can be no happiness without an end to division.

A month later, Lin Nan returned to Jicheng, named Ma Chao as the Marquis of Yi, gave Ma Chao a fictitious position as a general of Long Xiang, and let him stay in Jicheng to standby.

After returning to Jicheng. Lin Nan began to devote himself to the development of the country, attaching importance to agriculture, building water conservancy, encouraging commerce, promoting coal, iron and other industries, and set up weapons departments in Jicheng and Luoyang to specialize in the study of weapons and equipment used in attack and defense.

Militarily, the Northwest Frontier had always been in a state of tension, and Cao Cao was well aware of the strength of the Huaxia State. Therefore, he sent people to carry gold, silver, jewelry, rice, grain, cloth and silk, and rushed to the Xianlingqiang place that stopped at the foot of Helan Mountain, and took the initiative to form an alliance. On the other hand, he sent people to the Xianbei station, met Xianbei Dadanyu, formed an alliance with him by the same means, and bewitched the Xianbei people and Xianlingqiang to constantly harass the northwest frontier of the Huaxia Kingdom.

Pang De, who was stationed in Shuofang, led his army to repel the Qiang and Xianbei people who came to attack many times. However, little substantial progress has been made, and the nomadic style of play has really put them in the driver's seat. In addition, in order to stabilize the Central Plains, most of the troops of the Huaxia State were in the Central Plains, and the newly recruited 200,000 recruits had not yet been trained, and the lack of soldiers made it impossible for the Huaxia State to carry out a destructive blow to these harassing nomads.

A.D. 191, the second year of Huaxia Shenzhou. The third day of the seventh month.

It was raining that day, and it was a drizzle, not a downpour, not like a waterfall that taught pedestrians who were short of breath to run under the doors of big houses, but a very fine rain that made it impossible to discern the drops. A kind of constant drifting of that invisible little bit to man, and soon a layer of cold, permeable moss-like moisture covered the clothes.

In the palace of Jicheng, in the office of the Privy Council, the battle report flew like snowflakes, and the five lieutenants Jia Xu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Lu Zhi, and Gai Xun were browsing the battle report respectively, and finally summarized the sorted out texts and gathered them all together.

"The northwest border troubles have not been able to be waved away for a long time, and now there is a shortage of domestic troops, and Shuofang has been frequently invaded by foreign tribes, but it is really a headache to raise a large army to fight. Ladies and gentlemen, the emperor will be here in a moment, if you ask, I don't know how we should answer? Jia Xu sat on a chair and said slowly.

Xun You, Guo Jia, Lu Zhi, and Gai Xun are also at a loss, and the constant harassment of the Qiang people and Xianbei people has made the northwest border trouble the most concerned military matter in the whole country.

When everyone was at a loss, Jiang Gan came from outside, carrying a pot of brewed tea, and poured water for the captains one by one.

"The emperor has arrived!" The guard outside the door suddenly shouted.

As soon as the words fell, Lin Nan strode into the main hall, and everyone present hurriedly got up, stood in a row, and saluted Lin Nan.

After the ceremony, Lin Nan had already walked to the middle position and sat down, glanced at the people present, and said, "Jiang Gan, you go to the Senate and invite the five prime ministers to discuss state affairs here." ”

"No!" Since Jiang Gan won the championship, he has been wandering in the Privy Council and the Senate, in fact, he is playing for ten cabinet ministers and being an errand. However, Jiang Gan's family is very happy, and they fart every day, and when they get the opportunity, they will slip around and shoot the horse, but they are mixed with taste, and they live a free life.

After Lin Nan saw Jiang Gan go out, he said to everyone: "The five Tai Lieutenants, I don't know what to do to resolve the battle reports that Pang De has been sending from Shuofang for months? ”

After the five people looked at each other for a while, they did not speak.

Lin Nandao: "Although Shuofang is small, it has affected the nerves of the whole country, and now the country is recuperating, and it is not appropriate to use troops again." Moreover, after several major wars in our country, there are only two or three out of ten elite soldiers left, and the Central Plains also needs them, and they cannot pump their troops. No matter what method is used, as long as it temporarily calms the troubles in the northwest, it is a good method! ”

After the five people listened to Lin Nan's words, Gai Xun first said: "Your Majesty, the ministers have a plan to temporarily ensure that the northwest will not be invaded again." ”

"Speak!"

Gai Xun said: "Long Xiang General Ma Chao, was once the Shenweitian general in the minds of the Qiang people, even if he was the first Lingqiang, he was afraid of it, the Xianbei people fled far away from the north of the desert, attacked once, and needed to travel a long distance, so there were only two attacks in a few months, but out of fear of the emperor, so as soon as General Pang sent troops, the Xianbei people retreated without a fight. Compared with the Xianbei people, Xian Lingqiang stopped at the foot of Helan Mountain, close to Shuofang, and could attack and retreat, which was really a big hidden danger. The minister thought that when Ma Chao was sent to Shuofang, he could deter Xian Lingqiang with his faith among the Qiang people. ”

"No! Ma Chao's anger has not subsided, and he cannot delegate important responsibilities for the time being. Lord Gai, please think of another way. Lin Nan said immediately.

After Gai Xun heard this, he stopped talking, and he vaguely knew Lin Nan's worries.

Guo Jia thought for a while, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan, but it takes a lot of financial resources, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

"If spending money can eliminate disasters, there is nothing that cannot be accepted! But it doesn't hurt to talk about it. ”

"The minister thought that in order to deal with Xian Lingqiang, he could temporarily adopt a policy of Huairou and bribe the Qiang people with heavy money. At the same time, the ministers will let the Xiongnu return to the Xiongnu, temporarily recruit a large army in the Xiongnu, salute first and then soldiers, and encircle and suppress Helan Mountain. Guo Jiadao.

Xun You added: "Your Majesty, Dongyi has a large population, and can also temporarily recruit soldiers in the local area, and build dock forts in the Hetao area, step by step, gradually advancing to the northwest, once attacked, between the dock forts, each other is a horn of the momentum, mutual rescue, can effectively resist foreign invasion, arch guard the frontier." ”

After hearing this, Lin Nan immediately nodded and said, "This method is very wonderful, so do it." ”

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Suddenly, Lu Zhi coughed violently.

Lin Nan hurriedly walked down, came to Lu Zhi's side, and asked with concern: "Lord Taiwei, your body is important, if you feel unwell, you should ask Zhang Zhongjing or Hua Tuo to take a look." ”

Lu Zhi's face was gloomy, and he said, "Thank you for the emperor's concern, the old minister is fine." ”

"Ministers and others see the emperor!" Tian Feng, Xun Chen, Bing Yuan, and Guan Ning came from outside and bowed in unison.

"No courtesy...... What about Lord Cai? Lin Nan didn't see Cai Yong's shadow, so he asked.

Tian Feng replied: "Prime Minister Cai Cheng is ill and cannot attend, please forgive the emperor." ”

Lin Nan didn't take it seriously, birth, old age, sickness and death were natural phenomena, and immediately said: "Well, Jiang Gan, you go to Tai Hospital immediately, and ask Zhang Zhongjing to see Cai Chengxiang." ”

As soon as Jiang Gan stepped in, he was sent again, and immediately said "promise" and left the hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please take a seat."

Everyone sat down separately, and Lin Nan said loudly: "I want to use troops against Xian Lingqiang to solve the problem of the northwest border, but our soldiers are stationed in the Central Plains, and it is not suitable to dispatch, I want to recruit foreign warriors and hire them to fight for me, but this military expenditure must be slightly more." Four prime ministers, do you have spare money in the treasury? ”

Xun Chen immediately said: "Your Majesty, now construction is taking place everywhere, especially in the Central Plains, which costs a lot of money, and the treasury revenue depends on a few gold mining and commercial income, but in the past two years, gold mining has become more and more difficult, and only the meager income from commerce can maintain the operation of the entire country." Although Jizhou has begun to collect taxes, the tax rate is too low, and the tax can only be carried out at the end of the year, and the state treasury is already empty and unable to collect the huge military spending. The minister thought that the trouble in the northwest was nothing but the enemy's harassment policy, and as long as it was strictly guarded, it could be ignored. ”

"Your Majesty, in order to build a new capital in Luoyang, a huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources have been consumed, and now the Central Plains needs to be restored, and Jizhou has just improved, so it is not appropriate to make a big move. The minister thought that it was enough to send a general to garrison the frontier and defend the frontier from infringement, and it was not necessary to send troops to attack. Guo Yuan also expressed his opinion.

"With endless border troubles, how can the country prosper and develop? The minister thought that when he sent troops to exterminate the first Lingqiang in Helan Mountain, and then took the opportunity to capture the Hetao area, garrison the army on the spot, and build a dock fort, so that foreigners would know that our Huaxia country was powerful.
