Chapter 443: Pacifying Xiliang

After Han Sui occupied Jincheng here, he immediately sent people to pack the heads of the traitor leaders such as Bian Zhang and Beigong Boyu in a box and sent them directly to Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi didn't take it seriously, but after receiving the news of surrender from Ma Teng and others the day before yesterday, he just said it casually, because he didn't think that these rebels had the possibility of surrendering at all.

But when the heads of Beigong Boyu, Bian Zhang and other rebel leaders appeared in his big tent, Lu Zhi was stunned, and then he became serious.

He first ordered someone to observe these heads, and after confirming that they were really Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu and others, he re-faced the conditions that Ma Teng and others had negotiated before.

"Father, these rebels have all been taken over by Han Sui's men, and now in Jincheng County, only Han Sui's family is left."

Lu Zhi's son Lu Jie took the initiative to approach Lu Zhi and told Lu Zhi about the current situation in Jincheng.

Lu Zhi's face was gloomy at this time, even if his son didn't say it, he knew the current situation, the rebels on the Xiliang side were originally three, the 70,000 Qiang people led by Beigong Boyu were the strongest, followed by the original Xiliang army led by Bian Zhang, with about 50,000 people.

Han Sui, who is the weakest, has 30,000 people, and these 30,000 people are still a few Taishou under him, and they are pieced together, and his own army adds up to only 20,000 people.

But now, in just one night, the situation in Xiliang has turned upside down, and Han Sui, who is the worst in strength, has suddenly become the strongest person, and unified the three leaders and become the uncrowned king of Xiliang.

Of course, this uncrowned king still has to face Lu Zhi's 100,000 imperial army, but at this time, Lu Zhi is thinking about whether to really recruit these rebels.

"Jie'er, what do you think about the recruitment of Han Sui's rebels?"

"Father, I don't believe in Han Sui, this person is very scheming, originally I thought that Bian Zhang was our biggest problem on this trip, who knew that a Han Sui would emerge."

"Oh? What is my son's opinion? ”

Lu Zhi originally just casually asked his son, wanting to know what his son thought and deepen his understanding of his son, but after hearing Lu Jie's words, he suddenly became interested.

"That Han Sui, just the day before yesterday sent us the news of Toucheng, but yesterday he had already killed Han Sui and Beigong Boyu and others, which shows the depth of his city, which is deeper than the other two, secondly, judging from the news from outside, Han Sui killed Beigong Boyu and Bian Zhang, not what surprised me the most, what surprised me the most was that he was able to receive Beigong Boyu and Bian Zhang's people."

"It stands to reason that Han Sui's killing of Beigong Boyu and Bian Zhang will definitely anger the soldiers and horses under Beigong Boyu and Bian Zhang, and the tripartite forces will fight, but not only did the tripartite soldiers and horses not fight, but Han Sui also accepted it, which shows that Han Sui had a premeditated plan and had enough courage and strength."

Lu Jie's opinion, Lu Zhi nodded secretly.

"What my son said is right, this Han Sui is indeed a big surprise to me."

"If the court is not what it is now, such a person, I will definitely not stay, if I stay, it will definitely be a big scourge, and sooner or later it will threaten the rule of the court!"

Lu Zhi's face was gloomy. He said with a displeased expression.

But then he soon changed his tune again.

"It's a pity that the current imperial court, there are rebels everywhere in turmoil, and they can't withstand the consumption of a big war, so they can only stabilize the situation in Xiliang for the time being, and wait until the rebels in other places are solved and the Han Dynasty is stabilized, and then we will deal with this Han Sui and other people!"

Lu Jie, who was standing beside him, heard his father's words. I understood it right away.

"Father means that he intends to agree to Han Sui's surrender?"

"Otherwise, do we really want to go to war with Han Sui and them? The cost of going to war is great. ”

"You also know that if this group of rebels is divided into three soldiers, we can also use the discord strategy to make their troops unstable and unable to fight together, so as to break them one by one, but now Han Sui has dealt with the other two and collected all the soldiers and horses, which greatly increases our pressure, and if we want to defeat these rebels in one fell swoop, the difficulty will increase a lot."

"Even if we end up with a lot of money to wipe out all these rebels, we will also suffer heavy losses of our own soldiers and horses. That's not what I want to see! ”

Lu Zhi said what he thought to his son. Lu Jie nodded and then stopped talking, and could only acquiesce to his father's opinion.

After all, his father was the commander of the counterinsurgency army, and everything had to be done according to his father's words.

After Lu Zhi made his decision, he immediately sent someone to negotiate with Han Sui.

On the one hand, first stabilize Han Sui's emotions, let Han Sui and others take refuge in the imperial court, and at the same time send people back to Luoyang to return to the emperor, so that the emperor agrees that these people will rejoin the arms of the Han Dynasty, and not only forgive them for the mistakes they have made before, but also reward them, after all, it is because of the initiative of Han Sui and others that the rebellion of the Qiang people can be ended so smoothly.

This time back and forth took a month, and the reward from the imperial court finally followed.

Because Han Sui made too much credit in this matter, he was directly canonized by the imperial court as the history of the Xiliang Thorn. Ma Teng, Li Xiangru and other followers of Han Sui also followed the rising tide, either canonized as Taishou or did not drive Sima's position.

Of course, the imperial court was not completely unscrupulous, in order to prevent Han Sui from becoming bigger in Xiliang, and at the same time let Dong Zhuo, a native of Xiliang, garrison Xiliang, and crowned Dong Zhuo as the general of the Qiang Zhonglang.

While containing the Qiang people, guard against Han Sui.

The matter of Xiliang has finally been alleviated, and the soldiers and horses sent by the imperial court to Xiliang can finally gradually withdraw from the Xiliang territory at this time.

Although Lu Zhi also left Dong Zhuo's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses stationed in Xiliang to guard against Han Sui and others at any time. However, Roh Zhi's main force returned to Gyeonggi, freeing up his hands to deal with the rebels elsewhere.

The first to bear the brunt was the very powerful Karasuma rebellion that spread in the three counties of Jizhou, Youzhou, and even Qingzhou.

It is also the second court where Yuan Shao and others made the most trouble.

After solving the affairs of Xiliang, the top priority of the imperial court was to deal with Yuan Shao, dismantle the imperial court established by Yuan Shao, and then re-establish the orthodox status of the Han Dynasty.

Of course, these things are not something that can be done in a while.

At the end of June 187, Lu Zhi's soldiers and horses returned from Xiliang and launched a crusade against Yuan Shao, which could not be done in a month or two.
