"Han Yoo is dead!"

Li Zhang's face was a little frightened and helpless, and he said to his subordinates: "Han Yue is dead, Ma Teng has surrendered, Liu De's next target must be me, how should this be?" ”

"General, why don't we descend too! Look at what kind of general Ma Teng became under the command of the Duke of Han, and his status is even higher than before! Your status is no worse than Ma Teng, your reputation among the Qiang people is not comparable to Ma Teng, if you surrender to His Royal Highness the Duke of Han, presumably His Royal Highness the Duke of Han will be very happy! ”

One of the generals spoke.

The atmosphere in the room was a little solemn, and Li Zhang said: "Then what if Han Gong doesn't agree?" ”

"What's the matter, you send someone to ask first, it's really not possible, let's hide in the forest, if you want to encircle and suppress us in the forest, you can't do it without 180,000 soldiers and horses! When the time comes, let's send people to loot everywhere and disturb him, don't you see Han Gong's headache! ”

"Hehe, you're right!" Li Zhang then thought about it for a while, and then asked: "Then what if Han Gong openly agrees to my request, confiscates my soldiers and horses behind his back, and even secretly wants to harm me?" ”

"The general is too worried, even our remote place in Weizhou knows that the Duke of Han is the prince of benevolence and righteousness, and the heir of the defeated princes has not been killed, so it is impossible to secretly hurt the general, but the possibility of collecting the general's soldiers and horses is not high, you see that Ma Teng did not hand over the soldiers and horses in his hand, and he still holds great power."

"You're right!"

Li Zhang paced back and forth on the ground, and the eyes of everyone around him were dizzy, and finally made up his mind: "Okay, Li Ming, you go and help me find out the tone of the Han Gong, I can surrender, but we must keep the soldiers and horses, and isn't that Ma Teng a general of the third grade?" My official position must not be lower than Ma Teng's, and the same is true for knighthood! ”

One of the generals stood up and said, "The last general understands! ”

......

Li Ming kept going, and after a few days of hard work, he came to Guchang City, Liu De was still sitting in Guchang City, but other generals were sent out by Liu De, and they swept away in all directions, and did not dare to say that Weizhou would be pacified, at least recover several important counties and counties in Weizhou, and connect them with each other to protect them, and finally unify the entire Weizhou with points.

Liu De quickly met with Li Ming, and Li Ming directly informed Liu De of Li Zhang's request, and his words were inevitably full of threats that if Liu De did not agree, the Qiang people in Weizhou would probably cause trouble everywhere.

Liu De's face did not change much, but he directly ordered: "Come on, cut off one of this person's ears, let him go back, and tell Li Zhang that if you come to vote sincerely, Lone will greet him in person, and if you are still so presumptuous, you will not blame Lone for leading an army to crusade against him!" ”

"Get out!"

Li Ming covered his severed ears and ran away, he didn't care about bandaging, he didn't expect Liu De to be so resolute, and when he returned to Li Zhang's camp, he immediately cried to Li Zhang, and showed his severed ears to Li Zhang.

Li Zhang was immediately furious, "Liu De really deceived me too much!" He really thought that he could really win Weizhou, I was going to let Liu De Xiao'er take a good look at our strength today! ”

"Come on, immediately go and send a message to the other leaders, tell them that Liu De wants to exterminate our Qiang people, and if you still want to live, our Qiang people must unite!"

......

And Liu De also said to the generals below at this time: "What is Li Zhang's reliance?" ”

Relying on it is nothing more than his prestige among the Qiang people, but since the Qiang people have never been unified for hundreds of years, and even infighting is far better than infighting! We only need a small amount of money and food to buy other Qiang people, so that no one can help Li Zhang, if Li Zhang flees to the mountains and forests, we may not find any trace of Li Zhang, so what about the other Qiang people? ”

"Reward Li Zhang and even the heads of his subordinates, offer a high price, the Qiang people are short-sighted, there are countless people who are hungry for profit, and even Li Zhang has to guard against his subordinates, can he hide for a year? Can you hide for two years? ”

The Qiang people like infighting, a unique habit, so Liu De can use this to divide the Qiang people, Liu De now has 50,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, with the chaotic situation in Weizhou, 50,000 soldiers and horses can only splash a small wave in Weizhou, so Liu De can only control the important city nodes in Weizhou first.

What's more, the 50,000 soldiers and horses in Liu De's hands cannot sit in Weizhou for a long time, and the battle between the south and Li Yun is even more imminent, and these 50,000 horses can only leave 10,000 horses in the end.

Then they bought the Qiang people who were close to the Han Dynasty, instigated and provoked them, or directly gave them money and food, and used them to destroy other hostile Qiang people, but this was a long-term process and there was no impatience.

All that remains is to use politics, economy, and culture to gradually disintegrate the Qiang people, which is a long time, but it will be a success to stabilize the situation in Weizhou in a short time.

Liu De said to Ma Chao and Xun You: "This matter will be handled by the two of you!" ”

Xun You and Ma Chao led the way.

Xun You is wise, Ma Chao is prestigious, it is not difficult to do this!

"The next thing to discuss is who can be the pastor of Weizhou and guard Weizhou for the lonely town?"

Liu De asked.

If you serve as a Weizhou pastor, qualifications and abilities are indispensable, not to mention the complicated situation in Weizhou, it is best to select officials who are familiar with the habits of Weizhou or the Qiang people, which stumped everyone.

Yan Nan recommended to Liu De: "If you want to say that you are familiar with Weizhou, Yan Langzhong once served as the advisor of the former prince of Weizhou, and he is quite familiar with the situation in Weizhou, but Yan Langzhong is now only a five-rank official, and his qualifications are not enough to serve as the pastor of Weizhou!" ”

Liu De nodded and said: "Yan Keqiu has a lot of merit this time, and when he captures Wuwei, he can defend Wuwei too much." ”

Liu De also found that it was not easy for his subordinates to pick out one person as the pastor of Weizhou, and they had to ensure both ability and loyalty.

Liu De thought about it and then made up his mind: "Appoint Zhang Cheng as the Taishou of Jincheng and Liu Yu as the Taishou of Guchang." ”

Jincheng and Guchang, one is Ma Teng's base, the other is Han Yue's former nest, both are important node cities in Weizhou, Zhang Cheng and Liu Yu have been serving in the middle of the position, and today they can be regarded as having an experience in the position of Taishou, whether they can get closer depends on their own.

"Gao Xi was appointed as the pastor of Weizhou, and the general leader of Weizhou government affairs."

Liu De finally made up his mind to transfer Gao Xi over, Gao Xi is outstanding in both government affairs and military affairs, and his qualifications and prestige are sufficient, although Gao Xi may not be familiar with the customs of Weizhou, but Liu De believes that if Gao Xi is given a period of time, everything in Weizhou can be smoothed out clearly.

However, Gao Xi and Yan Keqiu were both transferred to Weizhou, and there was no one in charge of the Ministry of War, and now there is no suitable candidate in Liu De's hands, but the functions and powers of the Ministry of War overlap with the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and now it is a special period, and the affairs under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War can be temporarily transferred to the Governor's Office of the Five Armies for processing.

Liu De's order was soon sent to Beiping, and then a battle report came, Wuwei had been taken by Liu Pi, and Liu De set up camp and went to Wuwei to take the town.

......

In November, as Zong Ze expected, heavy snow fell on both sides of the river, but in a few days, the river was completely frozen, why did Li Yun not defeat Guan Yu's troops in two months?

One of the aspects is the emergency military situation from Jinzhou, the soldiers and horses led by Huo Qubing directly crossed the river to harass the northern part of Jinzhou, and the soldiers and horses led by Peng Yue galloped across the western part of Jinzhou.

Li Yun deployed 20,000 horses of Li Qin and Li Jingyan in Jinzhou, and the terrain of Jinzhou was not suitable for the deployment of cavalry, so Huo Qubing could only compete with the 20,000 horses in Shangshuo for a while.

And Li Yun's heavy general Han Wei was stationed in the west of Jinju, and Peng Yue and Han Wei had a confrontation and could not be defeated, so Peng Yue directly bypassed Han Wei's defense and marched directly to the interior of Jinzhou.

Peng Yue's back road was directly blocked by Han Wei, but Peng Yue started a guerrilla war with Han Wei with his excellent command ability, which made Han Wei very headache, so he could only try his best to deal with Peng Yue.

After all, Huo Qubing and Peng Yue could only be presumptuous in Jinzhou and could not threaten Chen Liu, and Li Yun's troops left in Jinzhou were enough to defend against the invading enemy army.

Therefore, Huo Qubing and Peng Yue were not the most headache for Li Yun, what gave Li Yun the most headache was that he personally led the army to attack Luzhou, and Li Yun defended almost every too many soldiers and horses in Luzhou.

Xiang Yu was so powerful that he successfully occupied a large area of Li Yun's territory in Luzhou, so Li Yun had no choice but to transfer Chen's remaining army and order Li Feng to lead the army to attack Xiang Yu.

Because Xiang Yuwei is famous, Li Yun can only send 20,000 horses from his side to support Li Feng.

This also caused Li Yun to be unable to defeat Guan Yu, nor to annihilate the embarrassing situation of the bell, and the river was frozen, and the naval army under Li Yun could no longer be used, and the blockade of Guan Yu was a complete failure, and Guan Yu could return to Jizhou with the help of the frozen river.

The perspective turned back to Liu De, Liu De's strategy had successfully worked, and many Qiang leaders turned their backs on Li Zhang because of Liu De's promise.

Liu De's prestige in Weizhou is not high, mainly relying on Ma Chao's prestige, and this plan finally worked.

Li Zhang originally wanted to lead his troops to attack Liu De, but he was defeated several times, and Li Zhang had to lead the remnants to hide in the mountains and forests.

After three months, Liu De successfully occupied Wuwei, the capital of Weizhou, and several counties, of course, there is still a long way to go from completely ruling Weizhou, and from time to time there will be Qiang rebellions, and Li Zhang has not been completely eliminated, so Liu De still needs to guard Wuwei for a while.

In Beiping, because winter is coming, the clean-up work in Beiping has to be suspended, and a lot of things have happened, such as someone secretly blocking or even sabotage, but in the eyes of Xun Yu and Fang Xuanling, these diehards are all small tricks, and they don't have to be taken into account at all.

And in October, Liu De's concubines Mi Zhen, Sun Shangxiang, Guo You, and Yang Yuhuan also successfully arrived.

I don't know why, maybe Liu De's genes are too strong, although Liu De has a lot of children, none of them died early, and the birth was very smooth.

In this era, it is normal for children to die early, even if they are as noble as the royal family, it is inevitable, so Beiping and even the entire Han Dynasty from the dignitaries to the dignitaries, down to the people of Lishu all think that Liu De is the destiny of heaven, and the people's hearts are once again cohesive, but Liu De does not pay too much attention to this matter.

Now Liu De is thinking about naming his child!

Mi Zhen gave birth to a daughter for herself before, and now she has added a boy, which can be regarded as a high level of hard work, Liu De thought about it, and wrote two big characters on the snow-white paper - Liu Yu.

Sun Shangxiang is still martial, and the child is named Liu Wu, who is also a male doll.

Guo You, Guo Zidong's daughter, of course, Guo Zidong's threat to Liu De is also quite huge, but now the hero has long been in the ground, and the once domineering Guo family has also become a passing cloud.

Guo You and his mother put all their energy into raising children, Guo You's belly is also competitive, the first child is a dragon and phoenix fetus, and the second child is twins, but they are all girls.

When Liu De thought of this, he suddenly thought of Guo You's only younger brother - Guo Xian, Guo Xian should be nine or ten years old now!

If Guo Xian has some ability, Liu De is also willing to use it, Guo Zidong was just a county guard in Qiangyang back then, but now Liu De is in charge of the land of the five states, the gap is too big, how can Liu De be afraid that a child will not succeed.

Liu De continued to write two names on the white paper--- Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei.

Good name!

Good name!

Liu De couldn't stop nodding in praise.

Yang Yuhuan also gave birth to a big fat boy for himself, this kid is the heaviest among these children, and Liu De directly named it - Liu Chong, which can be regarded as complementary.

......

Liu Rendan pointed in the direction of the river and said to Zhang Fei: "General, we should not be far from where the governor of Guan Du is, according to the report of Tanma, the governor of Guan Du is camped outside Kuan County and confronts Li Yun, the Duke of Wei. ”

Zhang Fei said: "Let's go directly to support Guan Dudu, although our strength has doubled, but it is just a handful of firewood added to the stove, although the fire is a little stronger, but it is not realistic to completely defeat that Li Yun, so we might as well bypass..."

Zhang Fei pointed to the map and said to the generals: "Landing from Hepu, first relieve the siege of General Zhong, and then surround Li Yun's department in the counter-encirclement!" ”

"General Zhang, what a good strategy!"

Liu Rendan praised on the side.

Unexpectedly, although this General Zhang is a reckless man, he is thick and fine, which is really admirable.

"Haha!"

Zhang Fei laughed heartily, obviously quite complacent, "In that case, let's set off and rush to Hepu immediately!" ”

However, to Zhang Fei's disappointment, Hepu County was broken by the Wei army, and the bell held out for several months, and finally under the advice of the traitor, the Wei army attacked the city.

After Zhong Sheng learned the news of the Wei army's entry into the city, he killed his wife and children in tears, and then set fire to the mansion and died by self-immolation.

dedicated the last loyalty to the Great Zhou.

Zhang Fei had no choice but to take the battle under Hepu City, hoping to take Hepu while the Wei army was unprepared, although the Wei army was panicked for a while, but soon reacted, and Zhang Fei's siege equipment was lacking, and he could not conquer it for a while, so he had to camp outside the city.
