The imperial court got the left general Huangfu Song to report, saying that Dong Zhuo's soldiers were strong and strong, and his strength was too strong, and his subordinates were all rebellious people, burning, killing and looting, and doing all kinds of evil, and Emperor Liu Hong was very worried about this.

In December, in order to curb the expansion of Dong Zhuo's power, the imperial court recruited Dong Zhuo as a young man.

Dong Zhuo saw through the conspiracy of the imperial court and gave up the military power, he would be useless, so he refused to accept the order, and wrote to excuse himself: "My subordinate Huangzhong Yicong and Xiongnu soldiers came to stop my car, begging me not to abandon them, I can't stop them, I can only stay to comfort them, if the situation changes, I will report to the court again." ”

With such an obvious disrespect for the will, the emperor was helpless, if Dong Zhuo was forced to rebel and directly joined the rebels, it would be even more troublesome.

Liangzhou is located on the border of Han and Qiang, and now it is a mixed residence between Hu and Han, with fierce folk customs, familiar bows and horses, and not afraid of death; Since ancient times, Liangzhou Jingqi has been rampant in the world, known as "Liangzhou horse, rampant in the world".

Not only Dong Zhuo's soldiers were fierce, but the local soldiers recruited and recruited by Cheng Wu and Zhang Meng were also very brave.

After frustrating the parade, he was overjoyed, and while ordering the counties of the two counties to continue to expand the scope of recruitment, he wrote a letter to Zhou Fei, asking for instructions to form a Liangzhou cavalry that could fight well in addition to Lu Yi and Zhang Meng; In his impression, Cheng Li and Tian Feng each had a strong army under them, and he could not lag behind, and the formation of the Liangzhou Army became his main goal.

He believed that with the huge money and food support of Gao Shun and Zhou Fei, as well as such a strong and sufficient number of soldiers in Liangzhou, it would be very easy to form the Liangzhou cavalry.

First of all, after hundreds of years of Qiang-Han war, Liangzhou has been beaten to a broken state, and the people's lives are miserable.

Secondly, the cavalry of Gao Shun and Zhou Fei's forces were paid a higher salary than the Central Army, and one person joined the army, the whole family was not hungry, and tax-free land was also allocated, so that the people of Liangzhou, who were hungry, regarded joining the army as the most convenient opportunity to change their fate, and they would definitely flock to it.

Next, Fu Zhu and Cheng Wu had to consider what price to solve the Hu people in Linjing City.

With the newly recruited officers and soldiers, Fu Zhi's goal now is even greater, not only to recover Xiaoguan, but also to recover Gaoping City, so that he can strengthen the influence on the four counties of Hexi, and can form a siege of the Xiongnu Youxian Wang.

Facing the strong enemies of Xiaoguan and Gaoping City, Fu Zhu did not want too many battle losses in Linjing City.

Linjing City used to be the seat of Anding County, although a long time has passed, the city is broken, but it is still tall, if it is attacked, the casualties of officers and soldiers are immeasurable.

So he summoned Cheng Wu, Xu Huang, and the patriarchs of the big families in each county to come to the meeting, and he felt that the locals would definitely be able to put forward some useful suggestions.

Sure enough, the patriarch of the Hu family in Linjing County proposed that he would go to the city to recruit these Qiang people.

As a well-known county and cultural family with a prominent surname in history, the Hu family of Linjing County, Anding County has deep roots and leafy leaves, all over the Yellow River, north and south of the river, and has an extremely far-reaching influence in Chinese history, there is a saying that "the Hu family in the world is stable".

At this time, the Hu family had lived in Anding County for more than 300 years, and was the largest family in Linjing County and even Anding County, and had high prestige among the Hu and Han forces in Anding County.

Frustrated that he didn't dare to take the risk, he retorted, "It's too dangerous to take it!" ”

Patriarch Hu smiled: "Haha, the military advisor is too worried, the Qiang-Han War has been fought for a hundred years, and the Qiang people have surrendered and surrendered, they have long been accustomed to it, and we are no longer surprised." ”

The patriarchs of the other counties were also willing to go together to persuade them to surrender, and said frankly that even if these Hu people did not surrender, they would not dare to disadvantage them.

Several of the patriarchs felt that this was an opportunity to easily earn the favor of frustration, and thought that it would be very easy to persuade them to surrender; Now Linjing City is surrounded by the Han army, and the Hu people in the city have no foreign aid, and they have lost the opportunity to break through, and surrender is their only way to live; And the surrender of the Han army was not a shame for the Hu people.

Cheng Wu felt that the words of the people were reasonable, and the Hu people in the city would still think that the officers and soldiers outside the city were similar to the officers and soldiers in the past, and they would resettle them as civilians after they surrendered, and they would definitely seize such an opportunity.

Xu Huang felt that while persuading them to surrender, they could show the might of the Han army outside the city, putting more pressure on the Hu people in the city to force them to surrender.

After pondering, he felt that the previous counterinsurgency, after the surrender of the Qiang people, was resettled as a people, firstly, for the purpose of appeasing the barbarians and demonstrating the power of the Han emperor; Second, it was because the military supervisors in the past deliberately connived at it and had the intention of raising self-respect; Now you can take advantage of the fact that the other party does not understand them, and repeat the old trick, and after they go out of the city to surrender and lay down their weapons, they can be disposed of by him.

So he agreed to everyone's request, and went to persuade him to surrender first; Besides, even if the persuasion fails, he has no loss.

Several patriarchs were overjoyed when they received the approval of the frustrated people, and after carefully summing it up, they went to Linjing City to ask to meet the Qiang people. Several people were hoisted up the city wall in rattan baskets and entered the city.

For the arrival of several patriarchs, the Qiang people were not surprised, they often dealt with each other, and they were already very familiar with each other.

The Hu patriarch went straight to the point, directly proposed to let the Qiang people in the city surrender to the Han army outside the city, and described the surrounding situation, they have been surrounded on all sides, and there is no chance to break through.

The Hu people also have an intelligence system and know that the Hu patriarch will not deceive them.

Based on their understanding of the Han people, the Han people revere Confucian culture, and in order to maintain their good reputation, after they surrender, they will never kill them for no reason, and they will definitely follow the example of the past and resettle them as people, and they can continue to be free.

If they don't surrender, the siege will last for a long time, and the lonely city will be broken, and it is possible for the Han army to slaughter the city at that time.

If you break through and there is no foreign aid to respond, you will be surrounded and annihilated, so it is better to stick to it and wait for help.

After thinking for a while, the Qiang people agreed to surrender to the Han army and agreed to surrender.

When everyone returned to the Han army camp and reported to Fu Zhu, Fu Zhu was surprised, he didn't expect that the 20,000 Qiang cavalry would surrender to the Han so easily, if so, how could the Qiang-Han War in Liangzhou be fought for a hundred years?

As a result, Fu Zhu appointed the head of the Hu family as a county official, and accepted the surrender of the Qiang along with Xu Huang and Cheng Wu, and after receiving their soldiers, horses, and weapons, they were guarded separately; And sent someone to immediately inform Koyi who was far away in the city of Aswana to stabilize the morale of the army.

It is planned that next year it will be a large-scale construction project to carry out restoration and construction, not only to repair the county towns and yamen, but also to repair the road back to the Middle Ages, to ensure that the road to Xiaoguan is unblocked, and to build the road from Linjing County to Xiayang City, which requires a large number of laborers, and these captives are the best candidates.

Xu Huang, Cheng Wu and others were overjoyed, and they were full of confidence in the next war to recover Xiaoguan; Cheng Wu, in particular, began to secretly think that he must inflict heavy losses on the Qiang people in front of Xiao Pass, play the prestige of the Han Dynasty, and at the same time support the Battle of Chencang.

In order to commend the merits of the head of the Hu family, Fu proposed that the Hu family could send a family of children to Alexandra University to study with Zheng Xuan, Kong Rong and others.

This is indeed a grand gift for the people of Kansai, and the Hu family immediately became the envy of everyone.

The Hu clan was overjoyed, feeling that this was a supreme honor, and sent the eldest grandson Hu Zun to Jinan.

Fu ordered a cavalry to escort him, and all expenses were paid by the Taishou Mansion; The unintentional act of frustration and teaching later became a family.
