The war between the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Qiang was also known as the Han-Qiang War.

The Han-Qiang War lasted for a hundred years, and the Western Qiang tribes in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Hexi Corridor and the Hehuang region continued the war intermittently for a hundred years.

The Qiang people moved inward, due to ethnic similarities and differences, and the Hexi Corridor, the Han people in the Longxi area often clashed, coupled with the fact that most of the officials in the northwest were cruel and harsh, resulting in the resistance of the Xiqiang tribes one after another, the Han Dynasty army slaughtered the Xiqiang tribe, and the Xiqiang tribe slaughtered the people of the Han Dynasty.

During the Han-Qiang War, even Tanshi Huai, which unified the Xianbei tribes, did not pose such a big threat to the Han Dynasty, because it was blocked by the Great Wall when Xianbei went south, and did not take any advantage.

Around the first year of Guanghe, many famous generals of the Eastern Han Dynasty took the initiative to attack Xianbei several times, wanting to regain the lost territory, and there were victories and defeats.

But after the first year of Guanghe, Zang Min, Xia Yu, Tian Yan and other generals attacked in three ways, attacked Xianbei, lost their minds, lost seventy percent of their soldiers and horses, and returned defeated. Although the battle was lost, the Xiongnu were seriously injured in Tanshi Huai, so that Tanshi Huai died of illness in the next year, and after that, he never fought with Xianbei again.

Zang Min, Xia Yu, Tian Yan and others were dismissed and reduced to commoners.

Xianbei could only be a potential enemy for the Han Dynasty.

During the Western Han Dynasty, the biggest threat to China was the Xiongnu who roamed the grassland, and during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xiqiang replaced the Xiongnu and became the first major external threat in China.

After Liu Hong ascended the throne and took power, Huangfu Gui, Duan Cheng, and Zhang Huan continued to inflict blows in Xiqiang, among which Duan Cheng was the most credited, and fought with the Qiang people one hundred and eighty times before and after, and shot the Tiger Valley in Hanyang County, killing the head of the 40,000 Qiang coalition army, and shaking the frontier.

Dongqiang was completely destroyed, and Xiqiang also became honest.

This continued until the seventh year of Light and Harmony.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion swept through Bazhou and spread all over the world, all of which were shocking.

In the western land, there are many heroes, and many ambitious people saw the opportunity with this Yellow Turban Uprising.

In mid-September, the Hu people who moved north, Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, and Song Yang, the powerful people of Liangzhou, united to rebel in Huangzhong.

The largest tribe of the Qiang people, Xian Lingqiang was unwilling to be restless, and blatantly sent out tribal warriors to support the rebellion of Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou.

It was not only the Qiang and Di people who rebelled, but also those Han people who were oppressed by corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

Beidi Xian Lingqiang and Liangzhou Han Haoqiang supported Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou as generals, and used the Han and Qiang coalition army, named the Han Qiang Army, to respond to the Yellow Turban Uprising in the East.

A few days later, the Han Qiang army made a vigorous dispatch and attacked Ayang County, Hanyang County.

The new Liangzhou assassin Zuo Chang was dissuaded by the upright Hanyang magistrate Shi Gaixun because he intercepted tens of millions of military funds to fill his own pockets, and he held a grudge, so he sent Gai Xun to Ayang County to face the rebel soldiers head-on, intending to kill people with a knife.

Gai Xun was a famous general at the end of the Han Dynasty, and he commanded the troops well, although his credit was not as good as Huangfu Song at this time, but he could definitely keep pace with Huangfu Song in the next few years. There are even some aspects that go too far.

The Han and Qiang army attacked the city for a long time, and Gai Xun fought many battles to resist, but he could not overcome it, so he turned to attack Jincheng County.

After Gai Xun held Ayang County, he knew the direction of the enemy's army, and sent cavalry to Zuo Chang many times, asking him to send troops to support Jincheng, but Zuo Chang refused.

Chen Yi, the Taishou of Jincheng stationed in Yunwu County, and Leng Zheng, the captain of Huqiang, sent troops to defend against the Han and Qiang troops, but they were outnumbered and defeated by Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, and killed.

Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou ruled with the Han people and wanted to follow suit. took Jincheng Hanyue and Bian Yun as hostages, refused to return them, and coerced them to manage the military and political affairs of Jincheng.

Han Yue engaged in Liangzhou, in Liangzhou famous, before the Yellow Turban Uprising, the general He Jin curtain his reputation, summoned him to Beijing, Han Yue persuaded He Jin to kill the eunuchs, He Jin did not listen, so Han Yue asked to return Liangzhou.

Bian Yun was engaged in the overseer of Liangzhou, and his reputation in Liangzhou was still greater than that of Han Yue.

In order to justify the name, Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou elected Bian Yun as the leader of the rebel army. Han is the deputy chief. In fact, the power is still in the hands of Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou.

But Han Yue is known as the "Jiuqu Yellow River" heroic figure, in the future can dominate Guanzhong, Xiliang for decades, since it is not a fuel-efficient lamp, Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou are undoubtedly leading wolves into the room.

After Chen Yi, the Taishou of Jincheng, and Leng Zheng, the captain of Huqiang, were killed, Han Yue and Bian Yun were cornered. All changed their names.

Han Yue changed his name to Han Sui, and Bian Yun changed his name to Bian Zhang.

After Bian Zhang was the leader, he immediately raised the banner of the Qing monarch's side and led the Han Qiang army to surround Liangzhou Prefecture and govern Ji County, Hanyang County.

Zuo Chang had no plan to get out, panicked, and shamelessly asked Gai Xun for help.

In Hanyang County, which is beside Gai Xun, Xin Zeng and Kong Chang are suspicious and don't listen to it. Stop Gaixun from going to support Zuochang.

"In the past, Zhuang Jia lost his term, and Sima Sui Tho beheaded him, and you and the other two were engaged in it, is it higher than the status of the ancient superintendent?" Gai Xun said angrily to Xin Zeng and Kong Chang.

Xin Zeng and Kong Chang were afraid of Gai Xun and agreed that Gai Xun would send troops to support Ji County.

How could Gai Xun not know that Zuo Chang regarded himself as a thorn in his side. But he is loyal and patriotic, acts impartially, and distinguishes between public and private.

Gai Xun is more than 40 years old, born in a family of Liangzhou eunuchs, was raised as filial piety when he was young, and is now the head of Hanyang County.

During his tenure as Changshi, Wuwei County was too guarded to support the powerful in the imperial court, and he acted mischiefly in the local area, and Liangzhou engaged in Su Zhenghe to prepare for the impeachment of this person.

And Liangzhou Assassin Shi Liang Hu was afraid of offending the powerful, so he wanted to kill Su Zhenghe and consulted Gai Xun on this matter.

Gai Xun had a grudge against Su Zhenghe, and someone persuaded Gai Xun to take the opportunity to take revenge, Gai Xun said: "No! It is disloyal to kill a good minister because of official business! It is unkind to take advantage of people's danger! ”

So he persuaded Liang Hu: "Feeding the eagle kite is to hunt, and killing the eagle kite because of hunting, what will you use to hunt in the future?" ”

Liang Hu listened to him.

Su Zhenghe was overjoyed to learn that Gai Xun had relieved the siege for him, and specially visited Gai Xun to express his gratitude. And Gai Xun closed the door and sent someone to say: "I am planning for Liang Yuanjun, not for you!" ”

As a result, Gai Xun still hated Su Zhenghe as before.

After Gai Xun led the reinforcements to Ji County, he reprimanded Bian Zhang and Han Sui for being important officials of the imperial court, but they did not want to serve the imperial court, but betrayed.

Bian Zhang and Han Sui were not angry, and said to Gai Xun: "If the villain Zuochang had listened to you and sent troops to rescue Jincheng County, maybe we would have been able to reform our ways, but now we are guilty of a lot of sin, and we will definitely die if we surrender." For your sake, I'll wait for Zuochang to go. ”

So Bian Zhang and Han Sui wept and left, lifting the siege of Ji County.

After the death of Leng Zheng, the captain of the Qiang Protector, the imperial court appointed the long-deposed Karasuma Captain Xia Yu as the Captain of the Guardian Qiang.

During the period of the Second Emperor Hengling, in the process of fighting with the Qiang, Karasuma, and Xianbei, a group of famous generals with great military talents emerged in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Among them, Liangzhou Sanming is the representative, Huangfu Gui is Weiming, Zhang Huan is Ranming, Duan Xi is Jiming, all three of them are from Liangzhou, and the table words contain Ming characters, so they are called "Liangzhou Sanming".
