Seventeen years ago, Duan Cheng led the army in the bloody land of Liangzhou, raised a butcher's knife, and killed more than 19,000 people under the Qiang people Qu Shuai in the Tiger Valley, completely quelling the third Qiang Rebellion, so that the Han and Qiang wars, which lasted for a hundred years, were temporarily stable for more than ten years.

Today, when Fu Quan led the Han army of 40,000 horses and raised the butcher's knife against the rebels mainly Qiang in Liangzhou again, this war was already doomed.

Since Emperor Wu of the former Han Dynasty defeated the Huns, the Han Dynasty has never been in a war with foreign races, although there are many defeats, but it has never lost the result of the war, and this war related to the situation in Liangzhou is the same.

When the Han army resisted the initial rebel charge, consumed the rebels' sharp spirit with bows and crossbows, and took the lives of thousands of rebels, Guan Yu, Sun Jian, Li Dao, Zhang Ji, Xu Huang, Yan Yan, Gan Ning, Zhang Xiu, Hu Feng and other brave generals led the Han army on both sides of the iron cavalry to directly attack the rebel army, the battle was over.

It can only be said that the rebels of the Heavenly Death, if it is in other armies, fierce generals like Guan Yu and Sun Jian, one can basically make an army break out, not to mention Li Dao and Zhang Ji, these battlefield generals. But now, there are a bunch of such generals in the Han army, and with the Han soldiers whose combat strength is not comparable to leisure, it is a miracle that the rebels can resist.

Regarding the war, Fu Quan actually expected it a long time ago, but the only thing that surprised him a little was that the first merit of this battle was not him, but Gan Ning, who he had not expected. The reason for this is that Gan Ning rushed into the enemy camp in the chaotic battle and cut the rebel commander Wu Ge's good sword under his horse.

This is quite unprepared, after all, the young Gan Ning is now competing for the head with Guan Yu and Sun Jian, who are at their peak, not to mention Li Dao, Zhang Ji, Xu Huang, Yan Yan These battle-experienced generals, which of them should be more talented than Gan Ning, but the person who finally cut off the head of Wuge's good sword was Gan Ning, which was really unexpected.

In this battle, the Han army defeated the rebels, beheaded more than 25,000 people under the rebel general Wu Ge Taijian, and the rest were defeated and fled, with only more than 3,000 casualties, most of which were infantry soldiers, and were killed by the rebel cavalry when they broke the formation.

Three days later, the Linqiang County Office, which was originally occupied by the rebels, was once again replaced with Han-style decorations, and all the Hu costumes added when the Qiang people controlled them were taken by the Han army.

In the lobby of the county office, Fu Quan was listening to the report of his subordinates, and after assessing the merits of the meritorious personnel who had defeated Wu Ge and the good sword, they reported them to Fu Quan one by one, and he decided the ranking of the merits, and then sent them to the Beijing Division.

"Although Han Sheng did not participate in this battle, he had previously defeated Wuge Taijian, reduced the strength of the rebels, and later stationed troops in Wuwei to monitor Han thieves, and his contributions were not small, so his merits can be included in the top ten."

After listening to the report, Fu Quan ordered to the scholars in the hall, regarding the ranking of the merits of each general, in fact, they were very strict, but Fu Quan felt that if Huang Zhong missed the opportunity to make meritorious contributions in this war because of the secret of protecting the stirrups and horseshoes, it would not be good, so he forced Huang Zhong to give the credit.

After all, it stands to reason that after this battle, many of the generals under Fuquan will basically be promoted to Zhonglang generals, and old people like Guan Yu, who have established the great merit of pacifying the Taiping Road with Fuquan, will definitely accumulate merit to the miscellaneous generals, and even be crowned as a waiter. If Huang Zhong couldn't be ranked with Guan Yu because he didn't have the main participation in this battle, it would not only be a shame for Huang Zhong, but also a shame for Fuquan, a Shangguan, and a stain of unknown people.

Therefore, for the sake of insurance, in order not to have an accident, Fu Quan had to change the credit, after all, what Huang Zhong did provide a lot of chances of winning this battle.

"No!" Everyone in the hall frowned, although they felt that it was a little inappropriate for Fu Quanqiang to give Huang Zhong credit, but they still agreed in unison, they still had to repay Huang Zhong, since Fu Quan had to make a few things a credit, then they naturally couldn't oppose it.

"Stepping on ......"

There was a steady and powerful footstep outside the hall, and everyone heard the voice, but they saw that it was Huang Zhong, the main person they were talking about just now, and they saw him wearing a battle armor and walked steadily into the hall, and then saluted to Fuquan and said: "The last general has seen the envoy!" ”

"Excuse me! Excuse me! Fu Quan wondered: "I don't know why Han Sheng is here?" ”

Huang Zhong replied: "Enlighten the envoy, the last general has invited the god doctor to Linqiang!" ”

Hearing this, Fu Quan's eyes lit up and said, "Quick! Fast! Please go to the lobby! ”

"No!"

Seeing Huang Zhong salute and leave, Fu Quan turned his head and said to the scribes in the hall: "If there is nothing else, you will retreat." ”

"No!"

Everyone in the hall glanced at each other, and understood that Fuquan must have something important, so they met with the so-called "Feng Shen Doctor", and did not dare to disturb Fuquan's important affairs, so they hurriedly saluted and left.

Those Yizhou scribes who have followed Fuquan since the time of Ba County are all curious about who the "Feng Shen Doctor" is, only the original local scribes in Liangzhou, when they heard the name of "Feng Shen Doctor", they were thoughtful, and they were also muttering in their hearts Could it be that the Taoist of Longxi County?

Why did the envoy see him? Could it be that he is seriously ill? But this is not right, it is rumored that Jun is a confidant of Yu Zhong, but he is a master disciple of the Central Plains Divine Doctor Hua Yuanhua, and he has an old relationship with Nanyang Divine Doctor Zhang Zhongjing, and his medical strength is extraordinary.

In fact, of course, Fu Quan was not seriously ill, he called the "divine doctor" to come, naturally he had his purpose, and this purpose was related to the current environment after the massacre of the Qiang people in Liangzhou.

As Huang Zhong returned to the lobby again, Fu Quan looked at him, the "middle-aged man" wearing a Taoist robe, he couldn't help but sigh that this sixty-year-old miracle doctor was rumored to be in the outside world.

The old man in front of him is called Feng Heng, the word Junda, the number of Qingniu Taoist, Longxi Di Taoist also, as early as his childhood, he entered the Taoist family, and at the same time it is rumored that he has set up a great ambition to relieve the pain of the people at that time, and concentrate on studying medicine.

It is said that Feng Heng once collected medicine in the area of Bird and Mouse Mountain in Weiyuan County, Longxi County, and according to the medicine he studied, he studied medicine in Bird Mouse Mountain Middle School, stepped on the morning dew to collect medicine on the mountain, and studied medicine in the Xingyue Cliff Cave, and carefully developed miraculous medicines such as pills, pills, and powder.

But there are people who seek medical treatment for diseases, Feng Heng meets them, and they take the medicine in the bamboo tube around their waists. This kind of brilliant medical skills and noble medical ethics have won the love and reverence of the people of all ethnic groups in Longxi County, and Feng Heng has been praised as a "miracle doctor" by the people of Longxi County.

Later, Feng Heng traveled around to study medicine, and he visited Lu Nunu, a native of Changle Dao, who was taught the "True Form of the Five Mountains" and the secret of cultivation by the Jade Girl in Songshan, so he went to visit Lu Nu and wanted to learn medical skills from him.

Lu Girl lived in seclusion in Huashan at the time, Feng Heng found him, followed Lu Girl for many years, at this time Lu Girl observed and tested Feng Heng for a long time, before asking him what he meant. Feng Heng then asked Lu Nu to accept him as an apprentice and teach him the "Five Mountains True Form Map", Lu Nu saw that Feng Heng was sincere and a person of fate, so he taught him the "Five Yue Map", and told him in detail the secret of cultivation and the precautions for each stage of cultivation.

As for who Lu Nu is, he is also a miracle doctor of this dynasty, and he is a friend of Hua Tuo, the two often exchange medicine, and can be friends with Hua Tuo to discuss medicine, which shows his medical strength.

It is rumored that Lu girls live in seclusion in the white deer niche on Huashan, and Hua Tuo often comes to the mountain to visit, in Huashan, Hua Tuo every day in addition to stepping on the mountain to collect medicine, is with Lu girls, practice the "five birds game" of the physical exercise. In addition, Hua Tuo often put on the Taoist robe of Lu girls, wore a scarf, carried a medicine gourd, and went down the mountain to see a doctor for the masses.

After Feng Heng was taught by Lu girl, he returned to the hidden bird and mouse mountain to practice, Feng Heng got the teacher's inheritance, practiced here, took Huangjing for more than 50 years, often went into the mountains to collect medicine, refined pills, and gave alms to the world. Sometimes, when encountering a person who is sick and dead, if he is not stiff, he will take out a small bamboo tube from his waist, pour out a few pills, and let his family take them, and the dead person will soon be resurrected and healed; Sometimes no medicine is applied, and a gold needle is pierced into the acupuncture point, and the disease will be cured. Subsequently, Feng Heng's reputation spread widely, and the medicine seekers often flocked to him, and Feng Heng disappeared for a long time, leaving only the empty house and cold stove, but when he met the medicine seeker unexpectedly, he rescued him casually.

It is precisely because Feng Heng practices medicine like this, he does not need money to treat diseases and save people, and it does not matter whether the other party is Han, or Qiang, or other Hu people, so that his reputation in Liangzhou is very great, and the locals are very convinced and respected by him.

After all, Fuquan's pacification of the Qiang people has been the same as Duan Cheng's massacre of the Qiang people, which has made countless Qiang people hate them to the core, especially those Qiang women captured by the Han army, if you want to completely integrate these women into the Han family, you must make them give up their hatred, and finally completely forget their original ethnic hatred after they have children with the Han.

Moreover, there is another point, now that most of the Qiang men have been slaughtered by the Han army, not counting those who fled into the deep mountains and dense forests, there are actually not many Qiang men in Liangzhou, and it is difficult to organize an effective army rebellion between the basic generations.

Since the defeat of the Han army, the Han army did not implement the slaughter policy when they took over the Qiang people who saw that the rebels had lost their strength and took the initiative to open the city and surrender. After all, there were many original Han people in those cities, and Fu Quan, on the one hand, was afraid that the slaughter would accidentally injure the Han people who were originally forced to serve the Qiang people, and on the other hand, he also knew the impact of killing prisoners in the field and directly slaughtering the city, so he did not adopt a policy of extermination to treat those who were killed in the city.

Moreover, most of those soldiers were old, weak, sick and disabled, and the threat was not great, so they were just escorted to various places, and Fu Quan was ready to learn the methods of the Saibei Changshi Mansion in Liangzhou Tuntian to solve the problem of insufficient logistics of the Liangzhou Army, after all, he was still greedy for the land of the Western Regions. And if you really want to lead an expedition, you must not completely rely on the supply of Sanfu or the Central Plains, in that case, not to mention that the imperial court can't agree, even if you don't choose yourself, because that will only drag the Han down, and transport grain from the Central Plains to supply tens of thousands of troops to the Western Regions, which is simply astronomical, I'm afraid that ten stone grain will be transported, and it will be a problem whether there can be one stone after arriving at the place.

Therefore, the imminent thing in front of Fuquan is to make these Qiang people who hate him to the bone and settle fields for him, and if you want to do this, you must undoubtedly find a convincing person among the Qiang people as a lobbyist, let the other party become the spokesperson of the Han Dynasty, completely brainwash and assimilate these dead people, and make them willing to become Han people.

Just like in later generations, the Yuan and Qing dynasties unified the Central Plains, and the killings made by them were worse than the other, but under their rule, there were still a large number of regretful people who were willing to be obedient people and pay taxes for their land. The Yuan and Qing dynasties assimilated the Han people for hundreds of years, until the dynasty decayed and collapsed, and Fuquan now uses the same thing, he needs a person with authority to be the façade, so that all the Qiang people can let go of their original hatred and fear, and are willing to enslave the Han people from now on, and Feng Heng is undoubtedly such a person.

"I've seen Fuliangzhou!" In the lobby, Feng Heng saluted, in his tone, there seemed to be dissatisfaction, Fu Quan didn't care about this, he naturally knew what the reason was, as a person with the ambition of curing diseases and saving people, it was impossible to see a butcher general who was stained with blood in Liangzhou, without some slight words.

Of course, what Fu Quan cares about the most is the appearance of Feng Heng's salute, because this is different from the perception that other people give Fu Quan, perhaps because the self-cultivation is too good, but Feng Heng's words have a fairy spirit, and with that robe, it really has a feeling of fairy wind and bones.

"It doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this!" Fuquan replied: "Qingniu Dao Chang Ji Fu Liangzhou, the people have many Taoist life-saving people, Liangzhou alone, should bow to the Taoist chief, and thank the Taoist for hanging the pot to help the world!" ”

After speaking, Fu Quan bowed deeply to Feng Heng, and his thank you gift was actually a little heartfelt gratitude, after all, for Feng Heng, a person like Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji, who is not for fame and fortune, but simply saves people, is worthy of everyone's respect.

But said that Feng Heng saw Fu Quan like this, and his face was a little soothed, after all, Fu Quan, as a member of the First Frontier, treated him so politely as a medical Taoist, and there were some words of compassion from a medical craftsman in his words, so he was naturally much better.

In fact, Feng Heng hated Fuquan's "butcher" in Liangzhou very much, although the Qiang people rebelled first, but now that they have been defeated and surrendered, it is not better to be influenced and appeased than to kill? As for the inhumane extermination strategy? Moreover, Fuquan's methods are much more ruthless than when he saw the "murderous butcher" Duan Cheng more than ten years ago, which really makes him unacceptable if he likes to save people.

Seeing that this Fuliuchuan does not seem to be the face of a murderer, Lao Dao must persuade him to put down the butcher's knife today, after all, human life is a matter of heaven, and the Qiang people are also human beings, Feng Heng thought to himself.

After the two introduced each other, Fu Quan waved Huang Zhong away, invited Feng Heng into the lobby to sit down, and began to talk. They had a purpose in their hearts, and for a long time they did not tell the truth.

It wasn't until later that Fu Quan felt that the time was about the same, and after saying the purpose of inviting Feng Heng, who knew that Feng Heng replied: "Fu Liangzhou is also a descendant of Confucianism, how can there be no mercy, the Qiang people have suffered a lot of casualties, and now they are enslaving their people, which is not done by good people!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Fu Quan's face turned cold, he didn't expect that this old Taoist priest was not only a compassionate guy, but also a little crooked on the national issue, no, he had to educate him well.
