Li Mu saw that the civil and military forces of Jincheng County had made preparations before the war, so he asked people to find a volume of information about the Qiang people in the northwest of the Han Dynasty.

It turned out that during the Han and Han dynasties, the Qiang people were widely distributed and had many tribes.

In order to isolate the connection between the Xiongnu and the Qiang people, the Han Dynasty set up four counties of Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Zhangye and Wuwei in the Hexi Corridor.

In these four counties, the Han Dynasty established a local administrative system and set up important official positions such as the Qiang school captain to manage the affairs of the Qiang people.

The Qiang people are capricious, sometimes they are attached to the court, sometimes they rebel against the court!

The attached Qiang people moved inward in large numbers, and were geographically divided into East Qiang and West Qiang.

Dongqiang, which entered Anding County, Beidi County, Liangzhou, and the north of the two counties, was slightly milder than Xiqiang.

However, with the corruption and decline of the Eastern Han court, Dongqiang also began to move and wantonly plundered the Han realm.

In December of last year, Li Mu defeated and killed the Qiang Dian Wu, the largest tribal leader in the Eastern Qiang.

……

Most of the Xiqiang, which did not enter the Central Plains, were scattered in the northwest and southwest regions of the Han Dynasty.

There are many Qiang tribes such as the Wuqiang in the southern edge of the Tarim Basin in Xinjiang, the Faqiang and Tang Yak in the Yarlung Zangbo River Basin, the Yak Qiang, Baima Qiang, Qingyi Qiang, Shenwolf Qiang and Ranshu Qiang in the southwest region.

Among them, the yak Qiang was originally distributed in Shenli County (the county was in present-day Jiuxiang Town, Hanyuan County, Sichuan), and then continued south to Yuewang County (present-day Anning River Basin and the lower reaches of the Yalong River in Sichuan).

Baimaqiang is mainly distributed in the northwest of Mianzhu in Yizhou and the south of Wudu County in Liangzhou.

Tsing Yi Qiang lives in the Ya'an area in the west of Yizhou.

Ginseng Wolf Qiang, mainly in Wudu County, Liangzhou, especially in the area of Bailongjiang.

……

Li Muxin said: Dongqiang has been defeated by the Han army, and only Gou Yan is left to breathe, unable to rebel!

Xiqiang is very strong! This time, Xiqiang rebelled, and Liangzhou would not bear the brunt except for Beidi County and Anding County.

The rest of the counties, such as Dunhuang County, Jiuquan County, Zhangye County, Wuwei County, Xiping County, Jincheng County, and Longxi County, were the first places to be plundered by Xiqiang.

……

In the blink of an eye, the time has come to October 184!

Liangzhou Assassin Shi Zuochang, still drunk and dreaming of death, nesting in Ji County, the county of Hanyang County, ignoring the wanton plundering of the Qiang people in Liangzhou!

On October 13, Li Mugang got up and washed up and prepared for breakfast.

Xu Shu hurriedly came to the Taishou Mansion.

"Yuan Zhi, why are you so flustered?"

Seeing Xu Shu like this, Li Mu hurriedly asked.

"My lord, the Qiang people have officially rebelled! Dunhuang and Zhangye counties, except for the county governance has not been broken by the Qiang people, the rest of the cities are no longer owned by the Han Dynasty. ”

"The area around Caohan and Heguan in Longxi County, as well as the entire city of Wudu County, has been broken by the Qiang people! The Qiang thieves are preparing to go north to Jincheng County and Hanyang County. ”

Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly replied.

"Liangzhou Assassin Shi Zuochang, Captain Leng Zheng of Huqiang, how do you react?"

Li Mu was stunned, nodded, and groaned.

"Zuo Chang just stuck to Hanyang County, and did not send a single soldier to other counties, but sent an edict to Jincheng County, asking the lord Keri to lead the army east to defend Hanyang County." Xu Shu sighed.

According to reliable sources, Captain Leng Zheng personally went to the Huangzhong area of Xiping County. It is said that it is to summon the Qiang tribe and the Xiaoyue tribe that are attached to the imperial court to fight against the Xiqiang rebellion! ”

Xu Shu paused and continued.

"Zuo Chang, ignorant puppet, ignoring the military and civilians of Liangzhou, greedy for self-preservation! How can Hanyang County stay for a long time? ”

"Leng Zheng, smug, wishful thinking! The Qiang people and the Xiaoyue tribe are really wolf ambitions, how can they help the court with peace of mind! This man will die at the hands of a foreign race! ”

Li Mu slammed his fist on the table and said in a deep voice.

"Yuan Zhi, immediately order the civil and military forces of Jincheng County to go to the Taishou Mansion to discuss matters." Li Mu then said in a deep voice.

……

About a quarter of an hour, in the Taishou Mansion, Li Mu and Jincheng County were all civil and military.

"A rebellion has broken out in Xiqiang, and it will soon plunder Jincheng County!"

"Captain Chen of the Herald Department led an army of 3,000 to guard the front line of Lingju and Yunjie!"

"Xu Huang, the captain of the herald department, led an army of 4,000 towns to guard the front line of Yunwu and Zhiyang!"

"Huang Zhong, the commander of the herald department, led an army of 4,000 to guard the front line in Yuzhong!"

"Zhao Yun led an army of 5,000 to guard the front line of Ningcheng, Ancheng and Jincheng."

Li Mu glanced around and said loudly.

Because Chen Dao, Zhao Feng, Jiang Yin, and Zhen Yao are in Lingju; Xu Huang, Zhang Cheng, and Jufu are in Yunwu City; Huang Zhong, Pei Yuanshao, and Hu Du are in Yuzhong.

Therefore, only Zhao Yun, Luo Xian, and Fu Wei got up, clasped their fists and arched their hands, and said loudly: "The last general will be ordered!" We will live up to the trust of the Lord! ”

Li Mu groaned: "In this battle, Zhang Wei stayed under the tent of Zhao Yun, the commander of the department, to listen to it!" ”

"The last will be ordered!" Zhang Wei replied loudly.

"Xu Shu stayed in Ningcheng and dispatched various matters in Jincheng County, supplemented by Zhang Ji and Li Hui."

"Immediately send an order, let the people of all counties in Jincheng County clear the walls and retreat to the city. All the losses of the people should be borne by the government. ”

Li Mu stood up and said in a deep voice.

"Your subordinates obey the orders of the lord! Defend the root of Jincheng County! We will live up to the trust of the Lord! ”

Xu Shu, Zhang Ji, and Li Hui replied angrily!

"I personally rode 17,000 people, first broke the Qiang thieves in Xiping County, and then marched eastward to defeat the Qiang thieves in Longxi and Wudu counties!"

"On this expedition, Zhang Liao led an army of 4,000 as the vanguard, and Jiang Wei and Feng Xi as deputy generals. Wang Ping and Zhang Nan escorted grain and grass! ”

"I am the commander of the Chinese army, Deng Zhi is the military division, and Dian Wei and Fu Tong are the deputy generals."

Li Mu looked around and said loudly.

"The last will be ordered! We will live up to the trust of the Lord! ”

Zhang Liao, Deng Zhi, Dian Wei, and Wang Ping got up and hugged their fists and said.

"May you, with one heart and one mind, break the thief together! Without further ado, go down and prepare! ”

Li Mu nodded and said loudly.

Everyone promised to leave!

……

Seven days later, Tanmalai reported that Huang Zhongyi, who was recruited by Captain Leng Zheng of Huqiang, suddenly mutinied and killed Leng Zheng.

The leaders of the Huangzhong Yi army, Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, have formed an alliance with the Xiqiang traitors, plundering the Han realm, burning, killing, and plundering, and doing all kinds of evil.

Tanma also reported that the Liangzhou overseers were engaged in Bian Yun and Liangzhou were engaged in Han Yue, and had rebelled against the imperial court.

The two of them have already joined forces with Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou's Huang Zhongyi army, erected the banner of "Qing Jun Side Punishment Eunuch Party", and are starting from Xiping County to attack Jincheng County.

Li Mu thought in his heart: Han Yue, the word Wenyue, later changed his name to Han Sui, a native of Jincheng County, Liangzhou.

This person is very deep in the city, too scheming, and is known as the "Nine Curves of the Yellow River". It has dominated Liangzhou for more than 30 years in history.

Bian Yun, later renamed Bian Zhang, did the new security order of the Han Dynasty. Regarding his death in history, one was killed by illness, and the other was killed by Han Sui.

Li Mu received the report of Tanma, no longer hesitated, and decided to leave Ningcheng on October 21 and march west to the traitors in Huangzhong!
