Chapter 107: Pacifying Qiang and Di (2)

The Qiang people, who mainly 'rob', have never been qualified to accuse the Han people of treachery and counterattack against them, after all, they say that the Han people are not credible, don't you know that they Qiang people are even more untrustworthy in the eyes of the Han people, and for thousands of years, there have been too many times of surrender and rebellion.

After scolding Cao Cao, Qiang people did not hesitate to send people to sue for peace and express their submission. Historically, the Qiang people have done this after provoking the Han people to be defeated, and the Qiang people never even thought that Liu Yu would disagree with the sue for peace and disagree with the submission of their Qiang people.

However, this time the Qiang people are wrong with Shan Yu and all the Qiang people, Liu Yu is not the previous person in power, he is determined to eliminate the Wuhu, the Xiongnu have been destroyed, this time the Qiang and Di people took the initiative to provoke, since he has already sent troops, how can he easily let go of the Qiang and Di people.

Guan Yu sneered: "The eldest brother has a saying, Qiang Hu surrendered and rebelled, repeated thieves, in order to completely solve the future troubles, should capture the 'West Sea' and destroy the ancestral land of the Qiang people." ”

"Yes, the lord sent me and the two of us to lead 150,000 troops, just to completely destroy the Qiang people." Ma Chao thought it was true, and when he and his father Ma Teng and Han Sui guarded Liangzhou, they mainly suppressed the Qiang people, and Ma Chao was familiar with the recurrence of the Qiang people.

As early as when the two of them set out on the expedition, Liu Yu instructed that they must capture the 'West Sea' and completely solve the problem of the Qiang people, otherwise if they just recover Wudu County and repel the Qiang people, it would be enough for Ma Chao to lead 50,000 troops, instead of Guan Yu and Ma Chao going out with an army of 150,000 together, and let Jia Xu be the military advisor.

Guan Yu and Ma Chao ignored the Qiang people's request for peace, and continued to attack the 'West Sea', wanting to break the Qiang people again and capture the 'West Sea'!

……

Guan Yu and Ma Chao's battle against the Qiang people went smoothly, and Zhao Yun and Lu Bu's war against the Di people went even more smoothly.

The Di people, like the Qiang people, have a long history, and legend has it that the two tribes share the same nomadic ancestor.

Today's Di people's power is only half of the Qiang people, and the ancestral land of the Di people today is located in the southeast of the Qilian Mountains.

Zhao Yun and Lu Bu are all invincible generals who rush to kill on the battlefield, especially Zhao Yun, although their martial arts are inferior to Lu Bu, but they are more than Lu Bu in the battlefield.

"Kill!" Zhao Yun was brave, and the Diren cavalry, who only wore sheepskin linen, was easily pierced by Zhao Yun's cloud dragon spear.

Due to the large size of the war horses and the limited number of Diren cavalry that resisted in front of Zhao Yun at the same time, Zhao Yun killed five or six people in an instant with a single shot of the spear, how could the Diren cavalry stop Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun quickly fought his way out of this army of ten thousand, and killed in front of Shan Yu with blood.

"Poof!" Di Ren Shan Yu's body was pierced by Zhao Yun with a shot and raised.

The people were horrified, they were already in chaos, and they had no will to fight, and when they saw that Shan Yu was stabbed to death by Zhao Yun, they collapsed in an instant, and they fled all over the mountains.

The phrase "the dragons have no leader, and the army is defeated like a mountain" is more directly applied to the nomads, because it is a tribal alliance, and it is the only one that can command the existence of all tribes.

Zhao Yun and Lu Bu led the army to chase closely, and pursued for two days and two nights, and entered the southeast Gobi of Qilian Mountain, and there were corpses of Di people everywhere along the way, and the loss of Di people in this battle was probably no less than 35,000 cavalry, and the Di people, including all the cavalry left in the ancestral land, were only more than 60,000 people together.

At this moment, even if Liu Yu proposes to ask for all the women of the Di tribe, the Di people will agree without hesitation, as long as Liu Yu accepts their request for peace and surrender.

However, Liu Yu hated Wuhu in his thoughts, and he knew that every time the Hu people surrendered to the Central Plains Dynasty, it was just to recuperate, as long as their strength was restored, as long as the Central Plains Dynasty was a little weak, they would pounce on them like wolves to bite and grab food.

As early as when Zhao Yun and Lu Bu set out on the expedition, Liu Yu also instructed that they must directly take the ancestral land of the Di people and destroy the foundation of the Di people!

These are two ancient nomadic people with a long history, it may not be difficult to defeat them, but it is not easy to capture their ancestral land, especially the Qiang side sticks to the West China Sea, the vast Gobi and the West Sea coast, the Qiang people are familiar with the terrain, while Guan Yu and Ma Chao are not familiar with the terrain, the battle is very hard, and the casualties are not small.

Within a month of attacking the West China Sea, the Qin soldiers led by Guan Yu and Ma Chao killed and wounded more than 20,000 people, but they still did not completely take the West Sea.

Chang'an City.

Liu Yu dealt with important military and political affairs until late at night, and he sighed: "After all, it has a long history, Xia Shang has repeatedly fought with the Central Plains since the beginning, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has also sent heavy troops to attack, but it has not been able to completely capture the ancestral land of the two ethnic groups, not without reason." ”

He predicted that in order to take the ancestral land of the two clans and completely solve the two clans, there would be no less than 60,000 casualties before and after, and the price would be heavy, which was the result of the fierce generals such as Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, and Ma Chao.

It's all worth it, though! Liu Yu's eyes flashed, Wuhu damn it, no matter what, he will completely solve them!

"Husband, the concubine boiled a bowl of ginseng soup." Zhen Luo was dressed in a delicate blue lace dress, with a waist that outlined her slender and delicate waist, and came with a generous smile on her face, and the ginseng soup was held by a waitress behind her.

Zhen Luo, who is eighteen years old, has a more beautiful and moving face, but it is not the kind of charming beauty, but the kind of down-to-earth and generous, atmospheric beauty, if you talk about appearance, Cai Yan is not as good as her, but Cai Yancai has a stronger feminine temperament, more elegant and dignified, and is indifferent and quiet.

Although Cai Yan is the main wife and Zhen Luo is the second wife, Cai Yan likes piano, chess, calligraphy and painting more, and does not eat fireworks in the world, while Zhen Luo is better at handling chores and taking care of everything in the backyard in an orderly manner.

"I have a heart." Liu Yu took the ginseng soup and smiled gently.

Zhen Luo Rourou persuaded me: "My husband works hard, and he should also focus on his body. ”

Liu Yu nodded, but he didn't say much, as a person in power, he ruled more than 20 counties, millions of people, and wanted to dominate the world, there were too many important military and political affairs.

It lasted more than three months before and after, and spent countless money and food, Guan Yu, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, and Lu Bu finally completely pacified the Qiang and Di people, and the first to calm down was the Di people, Zhao Yun and Lu Bu wanted to return to Chang'an City for a month with Guan Yu and Ma Chao.

The Qiang and Di people together had a population of more than 500,000, but after a war and fighting, after being pacified, there were only 350,000 people together, and most of them were women, girls and children, Liu Yu forcibly moved them all to Fufeng, Weixing, Shangyong, and Shangjun to live with the Han people in a ratio of 2 to 8, and at the same time set up Xihai, Xiahe, Lingwu three counties, and moved 100,000 Han people to reproduce in the three counties.

In addition to those women, girls and children, nearly 40,000 Qiang and Di people were captured, and each Qiang and Di people were born cavalry, Liu Yu selected 30,000 of them to form a Qiang Corps, ready to drive them as forward cannon fodder when attacking the Central Plains in the future.

In order to reduce the Qiang people's desire to resist and let them integrate into the 'pure' Han people more quickly, Liu Yu also 'traced back to the source' for the Qiang people, the Di people, and even the Huns who were wiped out before, proving that their ancestors were a branch of Dayu in the Xia Dynasty, and the Han people are the same ancestor, and the effect is quite good.

Got the ancestral land of the Qiang and Di ethnic groups, Liu Yu not only got three county territories, got a stable rear, but also got two natural horse farms and the West Sea salt farm, with the salt water of the West Sea, the price of salt in Guanzhong can be doubled, with enough salt, the physical fitness of the people and soldiers in Guanzhong can also be stronger, although it costs a lot to pacify the two tribes, in comparison, it is worth it.

When Liu Yu was heavily pacifying the Qiang and Di tribes, Cao Cao's war in Hebei was also overwhelming, and Cao Cao's territory and power were also soaring.
