As soon as Dong Zhuo's words came out, everyone present was shocked.

Originally, the old man under Dong Zhuo's command couldn't react, he had been fighting with Han Sui for almost half a year, but suddenly there was a Hun invasion, and then Han Sui became an ally, and now he wants to become his own people, what kind of rhythm is this? However, after the Xiongnu incident, these hot-blooded military people had a new recognition of Han Sui, and they did not exclude Han Sui's involvement.

Han Sui was also a little stunned, this Dong Zhuo's decision was too unexpected, he was already disheartened, and wanted to exchange his death for the lives of his subordinates and his family. But now, Dong Zhuo actually took the initiative to accept him, and in an instant, Han Sui actually had a feeling of blood boiling.

Dong Zhuo ignored everyone's strangeness and continued: "Wen Yue, this Jincheng Taishou will definitely not be able to give you a certain position, but a certain Dunhuang Taishou family can call the shots, I don't know if Wen Yue is willing?" ”

Dunhuang is too guarded!

After hearing Dong Zhuo's conditions, except for unknown generals like Huaxiong and Li Renxiao, people like Huangfu Jianshou, Dong Huang, Xu Rong and others all breathed a sigh of relief.

There are 14 states in the Han Dynasty, and Yongzhou and Sizhou are combined into the Sili region, which is the important land of Gyeonggi. The remaining twelve states, except for the remote Jiaozhou, Liangzhou because of its remote geographical location, sparse population, and often Qiang, Di, Xiongnu and other ethnic minorities in rebellion, Liangzhou can be said to be the most barren state, and Dunhuang County is the most remote and chaotic county in the ten counties and two countries of Liangzhou.

Dunhuang County is the westernmost county of the Han Dynasty, affected by various factors such as geographical environment and different ethnic groups, the population of the six counties of Dunhuang County is only tens of thousands, and it is occupied by the Qiang people, as well as a small number of people left by the Northern Xiongnu.

No matter how righteous Han Sui was, and actively sent troops north to deal with the Xiongnu, he was the leader of the rebellion after all, if he was allowed to directly lead Jincheng Taishou, not to mention that the court did not agree, even these elders under Dong Zhuo would have ideas. What's more, Han Sui is a native of Jincheng, and his influence in Jincheng County is still very high, no matter how much Dong Zhuo trusts Han Sui, he can't keep Han Sui in Jincheng, because if Dong Zhuo wants to completely control Jincheng County, he must bypass Han Sui.

Dong Zhuo understands this, and Han Sui also understands it.

"Han Sui greets the lord!" Han then got up and bowed to Dong Zhuo.

Although Han Sui did not directly answer whether Dong Zhuo was willing or unwilling, his actions had already shown his answer, he was willing.

"You don't have to be polite, please get up quickly." Dong Zhuo helped him for a moment, and then said with a smile: "A certain family has a letter to help each other today, why can't you help the Han Dynasty for four hundred years!" ”

Regardless of whether Han Sui has any talent or not, polite words must be said. Regarding Han Sui letting Han Sui be the Dunhuang Taishou, but Dong Zhuo and Gai Xun and Jia Xu discussed it for a long time before deciding, Dong Zhuo originally planned to let one of the generals under his command serve as the Dunhuang Taishou, but in the end, after thinking about it, he couldn't find a suitable candidate, and finally selected Han Sui.

Dunhuang is a very important part of Dong Zhuo's planning, and in the future, Dunhuang is a link between the conquest of the Western Regions and the reopening of the Silk Road, which is very important. Han Sui was sophisticated, scheming, and talented in internal affairs, and was indeed suitable for governing a barren land like Dunhuang, and at the same time dealing with all kinds of Hu people.

"Patriarch Yang, I don't know what Your Excellency's plans are?"

After dealing with Han Sui, Dong Zhuo looked at Yang Yi, the patriarch of the Qiang tribe, Dong Zhuo's purpose is very clear, since he is here, don't think about getting out easily, Burning Dangqiang is the Qiang clan second only to Xian Lingqiang, and even defeated Xian Lingqiang, now even if the Burning Dangqiang clan declines, it can still gather tens of thousands of combat power, both public and private, Dong Zhuo will not allow such uncertain factors to exist.

Yang Yi is a tall old man, in his fifties, but he still looks in good spirits and does not look old at all. I saw that he learned from the Han people to hug his fists and said, "Back to General Dong, sending troops under the Xia is to solve the crisis with General Han, and now General Dong and General Han are shaking hands and making peace, so it is not good to stay in the next place, the affairs of the clan are busy, and I will lead the troops back earlier." ”

Having said that, but he still looked at Dong Zhuo hopefully, he sent troops to help Han Sui, although there was an element of righteousness, but the most important thing was for the benefit of their burning Dangqiang, and now Han Sui couldn't count on it, everything had to rely on Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo didn't bother to say some more polite words, and got straight to the point, "A certain family has an idea to set up another county in the west of the two counties of Jincheng and Longxi, called Xihai County, under the jurisdiction of the three places of burning Dangqiang, Baimaqiang, and Shenwolf Qiang, and building a city on the bank of Xihai (Qinghai Lake), called Xining, which is the county governance of Xihai County."

The Taishou of the West Sea was served by the Yang patriarch, and a certain family guaranteed that as long as a certain family served as the pastor of Liangzhou for one day, the land of the West Sea would be governed by the Qiang people for one day.

At the same time, a certain family will also set up a special trading place in the place where the three Qiang gather for the trading of Qiang people's goods, and the price is absolutely guaranteed to be the same as the Han people. ”

Not only Yang Yi, but even Gai Xun, Han Sui and others were shocked.

Ho, good guy, Dong Zhuo is a good calculation! This is to want to annex the territory of the Qiang people without spending a single soldier! You must know that the thousands of miles west of Yizhou in Liangzhou (including the western part of present-day Sichuan Province and most of Qinghai Province) were all occupied by the Qiang people. If Dong Zhuo's trick succeeds, then not only can he quell the Qiang rebellion, but also add a piece of land, which is really a plan to kill two birds with one stone.

It's just that Dong Zhuo is so self-proposing, can the imperial court agree?

Regardless of whether the imperial court agrees or not, Yang Yi agrees anyway, "Don't worry, Dong Gong, the lower officials will do their best to govern the affairs of the Qiang people, and they will never cause trouble for Dong Gong again." ”

For Yang Yi, this is a great creation, Dong Zhuo's proposal to make him the Taishou of the West Sea, this first point has the official identity of the Han Dynasty, and he has face when he goes out; The second point is that Xihai County governs the land of Sanqiang, and it is clear that he is the boss of Sanqiang, if someone is not convinced, he will go straight to work until the other party is convinced, anyway, he has righteousness in his hands, and Boss Dong supports him. Third, that's the point, Dong Zhuo implemented the Qiang people's autonomy system, and traded with the Qiang people fairly, fully protecting the interests of the Qiang people, then Yang Yi will also become a sage among the Qiang people, admired by future generations.

Dong Zhuo nodded slowly, Xihai County was equivalent to an autonomous region of ethnic minorities in later generations, which was governed by the Qiang people.

The reason why the Qiang people rebelled from time to time was not because the Qiang people were full, but because they couldn't eat enough, so they rebelled. Although the Qiang people are still martial and fierce, their folk customs are simple and simple, and they admire the Han culture, and they have a heart to belong.

It's a pity that the Liangzhou government recruited the Qiang people during the war, demanded excessively, and even used the Qiang people as cannon fodder.
