Chapter 613: From now on, there is no Qiang, only Han
『Chapter error, click here to report』
A long time ago, when Fu Quan saw that the Han Dynasty cavalry was not equipped with stirrups and horseshoes, he wanted to get this cross-era sharp weapon, but in the end he stopped it.
The reason is also very simple, the timing is not right, Fu Quan is not sure where his future will go in the end, if he drags himself out because of tinkering with this thing in advance, it will be too unworthy. Now let the stirrups and horseshoes come out, although it is still a little early, but in order to deal with Han Sui and the tens of thousands of horsemen under his command, Fu Quan can only rely on equipment advantages if he wants to win, and with his current identity, if he strictly keeps it secret, he can still keep it for a few years and not be known by others.
At least, half of the land in Liangzhou, which is still under the control of the Han army, is basically Fuquan's, and the cavalry equipped with stirrups and horseshoes arranged by Fuquan this time are all troops who have been fighting with him in the south and the north, and there is absolutely no need to say much about the degree of loyalty, and as long as they put away the stirrups and keep them on weekdays, even if some people suspect that Fuquan used some methods to improve the combat power of the troops, it is difficult to discover the secret.
Of course, as for Huang Zhong's less than 5,000 cavalry, whether he can fight hard against Han Sui's tens of thousands of troops, Fu Quan is not worried, after all, it is still the main force of the Han army on his way that fights against Han Sui, and he wants to use these 30,000 cavalry to completely destroy Han Sui. As for Huang Zhong, in the final analysis, it is just the nature of a partial division, Fu Quan doesn't want to expose this cavalry to the eyes of everyone too early, it is difficult to ensure that among those experienced Han army civil and military, no smart person will guess the key.
After the news of the recovery of the whole of Longxi County, the atmosphere in the Han army was obviously better, after all, this indicated that the war was developing in a good direction, and the army passed through Yongshi County all the way.
In the warrior county, Fu Quan and Wu Yi, the general who defended the city, asked him to lead the five thousand foot cavalry reassigned to him, defend the warrior county, and protect the grain road of the army. If the grain road is cut off, the Han army must not be able to move an inch in Jincheng County, after all, Liangzhou itself is a bitter cold place, and Jincheng County has been occupied by rebels for a long time, even if the Han army wants to requisition grain on the spot, the people of Jincheng County do not know if there is any surplus grain for the army to requisition.
After the admonition, Fu Quan immediately led the Han army to conquer the main force, out of the warrior county, to the adjacent warrior county under the Jincheng County Yuzhong County, where will be the first stop of this expedition against the rebels, and at the same time, north of the Beidi County, Guan Yu and Huangfu Jianshou and others, led 10,0050 cavalry to attack Xian Lingqiang outside the Beidi County, but their purpose was to cut off Han Sui's rebel arm.
Since the rebellion of the Liangzhou rebels, Xian Lingqiang was the first Qiang to join the rebels, and even Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou and others, if they had not joined the Han Dynasty army and learned a lot of military skills, plus they were born in Huangzhong Qiang, so that the Qiang people believed that this would be the first Lingqiang to be promoted as the leader by the advantage of numbers.
Otherwise, as the Han bandits in Caohan, Heguan and other places who also caused trouble, obviously they would not allow the high-ranking army to be all Qiang, which is also the reason why they couldn't wait to kidnap and capture Han Sui and Bian Zhang, and then recommended them to enter the top echelons of the rebels, which is nothing more than mutual suspicion and fear of being used as cannon fodder.
Under this kind of stake, the loyalty of these rebels is naturally extremely fragile, so since Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou and Bian Zhang and others led the army to be ambushed by Fuquan with weak soldiers, Han Sui also scared Fuquan back with weak soldiers, most of the Han and Qiang rebels decided to rebel, and did not hesitate to kill Beigong Boyu and others, and supported Han Sui.
Now, in order to cut off the connection between the rebel army's largest Qiang Hu and the rebel army, Fuquan took the initiative to divide his troops and vowed to uproot the rear of Xian Lingqiang, which is still in Jincheng County, so that no matter whether the Han army won or lost in this battle, Xian Lingqiang would inevitably be weakened because of this, and even completely assimilated by other tribes because of the demise of the tribe.
"In the past, the northern Qianghu was served by Duan Taiwei and Fuliangzhou, and he didn't dare to have different intentions, and he didn't want to be rampant now, and today, it is the time for them to be wiped out." In a grassland outside the Saiwai, Guan Yu looked at the Qiang tribe in front of him and said coldly, at the same time, his eyes were full of heat, obviously very excited.
Destroying the country and the clan and capturing the enemy chief in front of the monarch are all things that every military general dreams of, and Guan Yu will naturally be no exception. Now, Fu Quan asked him to lead ten thousand horsemen to destroy Qiang, if this kind of battle is successful, it will make him famous, and because he led it, this reputation will definitely make him leave a more resounding name in the history of the future, naturally Guan Yu is very excited.
"General, the last general's father, brother and son rebelled, all forced by the situation, and the general's subordinates showed mercy." On the side, because he was familiar with the terrain, Qiang Liang, who was specially transferred by Fuquan this time, saluted Guan Yu and pleaded.
Xian Lingqiang is a strong family, although he has been under Fuquan for several years, he has long regarded himself as a Han Chinese, but now he really wants him to lead the Han army to destroy his relatives, he is still a little unbearable.
Of course, not only Qiang Liang, even the other Qiang cronies under Fuquan's command were also transferred this time, as Guan Yu's headquarters cavalry, their hearts were also bad after knowing Fuquan's plan to exterminate the clan, even if they knew that Fuquan also gave their own people a way to live, but thinking of the consequences of the rebellion, they couldn't let go.
As for letting them rebel with their clansmen, it is impossible, several years of military time in the Han Dynasty have long made them no longer want to choose the bitter cold horse herding life outside the Saiwai. Many of them used to have a low status in the tribe, but the Han Dynasty gave them a good life, and in this contrasting life, there are only a few who choose to rebel against the Han Dynasty because of blood kinship.
This point, even if it is the Han people, otherwise there will not be so many traitors, when one party gives you more unimaginable benefits and benefits than the original, most people will eventually choose to betray, the so-called family and country, family affection, loyalty will be abandoned by them, people die for money, birds die for food, it is better to be!
Guan Yu pondered for a moment, looked at Qiang Liang and said: "The prince has already spoken, if the Qiang people are obedient and do not sincerely rebel, then all of them will move to Liangzhou, wear Hanfu, learn Chinese, respect Han law, and serve Han officials, then they will all be spared death, otherwise, the clan will be destroyed and lost, and there will be no living mouth. ”
“……”
Seeing that Qiang Liang was speechless, Guan Yu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, if the Ru people really vote for Han, how can they see Han Qiang?" ”
After hearing this, Qiang Liang pondered for a while, and finally saluted: "The last general wants to be the vanguard of the army, and I wish the general permission to do so!" ”
"Good! You lead the headquarters and slaughter each and the Huns 2,000 horsemen, kill the Chinese army, this general will lead the rest of the army, surround the Qiang Luluo, if they rebel, the young women will stay, and the rest of the people, the old and weak young men who are higher than the wheel, will be wiped out! ”
"No!"
Qiang Liang nodded heavily, and then held back his mind, looked at the Xian Ling Qiang tribe in front of him, and rode away fiercely, if the clan still resisted, then he had to blame him for being ruthless, even if this time it might make the Xian Ling Qiang extinction, he had to do it, because he wanted to keep his glory and wealth, protect everything he had achieved now, and the clansmen betrayed him, so don't blame him for being ruthless.
Before the war, Fuquan had already ordered all the ministries that the Han army should deal with the Qiang people who surrendered and rebelled, and this time they would no longer accept the surrender after resistance, and they would all return to their previous years to fight for Xianbei. In other words, those rebellious Qiang people, but anyone who dared to resist the Han Dynasty Heavenly Soldiers, then all of them were killed, according to the same strategy used by Fuquan when he conquered Xianbei, his tribe only left young women, and children were left below the wheel, and the others, all slaughtered, leaving no living mouth, fundamentally, the source of the Qiang people's rebellion again was exterminated.
Such a strategy of exterminating the clan and despairing, under the command of Fuquan, a soldier like Qiang Liang who was born in the north and Lingqiang, naturally knows how terrifying it is, after all, they are also people who have followed Fuquan to experience his slaughter of Xianbei, think about it, now in the northern border of the Han Dynasty, but there are still people who dare to call Xianbei people?
Only in the further north of Northern Xinjiang, among the forces such as Jiankun and Ding Ling, there are tens of thousands of Xianbei remnants who are said to be led by the former Xianbei Lord Kuitou, Budugen, Fu Luohan and others, and still call themselves Daxianbei.
The three of them, the descendants of the former Xianbei male lord Tanshi Huai, knew that the last army of Xianbei was captured and killed by the Han army or captured and killed, and only a few fled, they understood that Xianbei no longer had the strength to fight with the Han people, and hurriedly gathered the Xianbei defeated soldiers on the grassland, and fled to the Great Xianbei Mountain together, and took some tribes they had prepared for a long time to move north, and then went west to seek a way to survive in the forces of Jiankun and Ding Ling.
As for why they went west later, it was naturally because the northernmost place in Northern Xinjiang was where they all knew was a land of ice and snow, and it was not at all a place where they nomads could survive, and they had to learn from the Northern Xiongnu who had broken their bones by the Han Dynasty to seek a way to survive in the northwest.
Of course, because the countries of the Western Regions are now blocking the road, their strength is not as good as the Xiongnu who once moved north, they did not choose this line of migration from the Western Regions, and Fu Quan later felt funny after knowing that he forced several Hu heroes who had also left their names in history to flee, and I wonder if this Xianbei remnant will use their bandit-like methods to expand the tribe in Jiankun, Dingling and other places, and like the Northern Xiongnu, create a "whip of God" that makes Europeans tremble?
Now under the control of the Han Dynasty in the northern Xinjiang grassland, after several years of control and education, there is no longer a person who claims to be from Xianbei origin, under the military management of Tuntian, most people only say that they are Han people, they speak Chinese, wear Han clothes, obey the orders of Han officials Tuntian, properly are the way of life of the Han people, maybe some of them subconsciously know that they are from Xianbei background, but most people have taken the initiative to forget their original identity.
Knowing this, understand the consequences of executing Fuquan's order, such as Qiang Liang and others will inevitably die of sorrow when they exchange these things for their own relatives, but, even so, even if Qiang Liang and others know the consequences of executing this order, they will still seriously implement it for their own sake.
Looking at the figure of Qiang Liang riding away and beckoning the soldiers, Guan Yu glanced at Huangfu Jianshou, Xi Zhicai and others around him, and said slowly: "Everyone, we should also prepare for war!" General Huangfu led the state to ride on the left wing, the opera division led Youzhou to ride on the right wing, I led the remaining soldiers and horses, and went behind it, the army surrounded it on all sides, and Hugh told Qiang Hu to get rid of one person. ”
"No!"
Huangfu Jianshou and Xi Zhicai both saluted and received orders, and then each went to greet the soldiers and horses, of course, when ordered by Guan Yu, Huangfu Jianshou's face was actually not good, but for the sake of the overall situation, he still did not attack, the reason why this is so is naturally because the subordinate relationship between the two has changed.
Originally, as the deputy general of Fuquan, it stands to reason that Huangfu Jianshou should order Guan Yu, but when it comes to military exploits, Huangfu Jianshou is really far worse than Guan Yu, and here they are 10,000 Han Hu miscellaneous cavalry, including not only the cavalry of the Han Dynasty and Youerzhou, but also those unruly Huns, Tuge, Wuhuan and other cavalry, these soldiers and horses want to control, there is no doubt that they must have great prestige.
Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time, Fu Quan originally intended to directly greet Huangfu Jianshou to return to his side and fight Han Sui with him, but thinking that his father Huangfu Song was too punctual in the north, he was quite popular with the people.
Facts have proved that Fuquan's idea is right, this Han cavalry with obvious Hu people, at first it really made the people of the north dissatisfied, and even a lot of contradictory things happened, if it weren't for Huangfu Jianshou to come forward, the people of the north read in the face of Huangfu Song, there was no target, otherwise it would be a big hidden danger,
Fu Quan knew that at this time, he went to the north in person, and after talking secretly with Huangfu Jianshou, he still let him stay. Of course, stay and stay, but the subordinate relationship of this time has indeed changed, Guan Yu, who has made outstanding achievements, became the main general, led the Han Hu miscellaneous cavalry, swept the northern land and first Lingqiang, and Huangfu Jianshou could only be a deputy general.
Therefore, Huangfu Jianshou of course complained about this, but he also understood that his military exploits were too few, and he was also very convinced of Guan Yu's military exploits, and for the sake of the overall situation, he never made trouble.
"Woo woo woo ......"
The passionate horn sounded, the Qiang people fell to the left wing, and the emperor Fu Jianshou waited for the soldiers, seeing that Qiang Liang really entered the Qiang Lu, and understood that his people were really returning to the Han Dynasty, he also led two thousand iron horsemen under his command to kill the Qiang people.
This time Fu Quan became Guan Yu's deputy general, although he was a little dissatisfied, but he had no complaints, he understood that only by relying on military merits could he prove himself, so he charged forward, which can be described as unambiguous. Behind him, there are many state soldiers, although there are many people who do not deal with Fuquan for some reason, but after all, this time it is against foreign enemies, and the main general is so pioneering, so he is also high-spirited.
Lu Luo's right wing, Xi Zhicai, who was appointed by Fuquan as Guan Yu's military division of this partial division, also understood the intentions of Qiang Liang and others after the horn sounded, and followed to kill it, of course, Xi Zhicai, who was slightly inferior in force, although he was also a pioneer, but he was accompanied by a team of his own personal guards specially sent by Guan Yu.
In the rear, Guan Yu led the remaining more than 4,000 horsemen to arrive, and after understanding the intentions of Qiang Liang and others, he also followed into the Qiang people's Luluo, that's right, even if he saw Qiang Liang so much loyalty in front, Guan Yu had a secret order from Fuquan, and he didn't dare to really believe Qiang Liang and others, only by letting them make a move, they could only believe it, this is also the reason why Guan Yu gave Qiang Liang were all Hu cavalry, and there were no Han cavalry, in order to use Hu cavalry as cannon fodder on the one hand, and test Qiang Liang on the other hand.
The result is also obvious, Qiang Liang and others passed the test, that is, Guan Yu can send troops, looking at the Qiang people in front of him, Guan Yu sneered in his heart, after this time he swept through the north and outside the Saiwai, there will be no Qiang people in the world, only the Han people.
Those who surrendered to the Qiang people, even if the Han army did not kill them, after arriving in Liangzhou, they would be educated by Fuquan in accordance with the model of Saibei Changshi, using military management, and under high pressure, quickly assimilating them, and squeezing their generation with Tuntian, until the second or third generation later, completely became Han Chinese.
