Zhou Fei very much agrees with the treatment of Wudu County, and he can accept it, which is beneficial to pacifying the rebels in Liangzhou, but it costs a lot, and since the lord agrees, he will no longer insist on his opinion; Zhao Yun also felt very happy that with 10,000 officers and soldiers who could be used as his starting troops, and with the support of Zhou Fei, the governor of the state, he would definitely train a strong army capable of fighting well in a few years, and live up to Gao Shun's expectations of him.

Zhou Fei was most interested in quelling the rebellion in Liangzhou, and after dealing with the problem of Wudu County, he immediately asked Gao Shundao: "Lord, how can we easily solve the rebellion of Han Sui, Ma Teng and others?" ”

He didn't look at the long-term as frustrated, and he was eager to pacify Liangzhou and then move to Yizhou or Jingzhou, rapidly expanding his territory, completely ignoring the impact on Dong Zhuo and others.

Fu Zhu also looked at Gao Shun curiously, not knowing what kind of magic Gao Shun had, he was able to quickly quell the rebellion in Liangzhou, which was something that the imperial court could not complete in a hundred years.

Gao Shun asked unexpectedly, "Tell me about Han Sui's situation." ”

Zhou Fei said: "Lord, Han Sui's real name is Han Yue, the word is about Wenyue, a native of Jincheng County, a famous scholar in Xiliang, and he has won the trust of the Qianghu tribe, and there are not only Han people in his army, but also a large number of Huangzhong Yiconghu and Xian Lingqiang, with a strength of 100,000 troops; More importantly, Han Sui Rong was half a horse, with extremely high military talent, extremely cunning, known as the Yellow River Jiuqu, with outstanding achievements, he had killed Chen Yi, the Taishou of Jincheng, killed Lingzheng, the captain of Huqiang, defeated Song Xiao of Liangzhou (Zuo Chang's successor, was defeated), besieged Xia Yu, the captain of Huqiang, and captured Hanyang Changshi Gaixun alive; Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo, Zhang Wen, Gongsun Zhan, Sun Jian and others have all been defeated by him, and the lord must pay attention to it. ”

Frustrated and disapproving, he said: "The erector is bent up, there is no intention of the world, and Gou Anle is just for now." ”

Huang Zhongyi is easier to understand from Hu, Huang: Huangshui; Middle: Midstream; Righteousness: Simply put, it means to attach; Hu: A general term for ethnic minorities.

This should be separated from "Huangzhong Yicong", Dong Zhuo's troops have "Huangzhong Yicong", and the "Yicong" here can be interpreted as "Volunteer Army" (of course, military salaries), called "the world's strong and brave".

Xian Lingqiang is a branch of the Qiang people, and often plays the protagonist of the "rebellion" (Qiang disaster), and it is also the most powerful.

Qianghu was a local name for ethnic minorities at that time, not only referring to the Qiang people but also Rudi, as well as a small number of Huns, Xianbei people, Yueshi people, etc., even if there are many branch tribes of Qiang, such as Xianlingqiang and so on.

Subsequently, Gao Shun learned in detail about the situation of the rebel leaders in Liangzhou, such as Ma Teng and Zong Jian, and both Fu Zhi and Zhou Fei gave detailed introductions.

After the introduction, everyone looked at Gao Shun, hoping to learn Gao Shun's easy way to quell the rebellion in Liangzhou as soon as possible.

Gao Shun still asked everyone rhetorically: "What are your good strategies for quelling the rebellion in Liangzhou?" ”

Zhou Fei said: "Lord, don't be in a hurry, if we attack, the rebels of Liangzhou will definitely unite." ”

Zhao Yun said: "The lord, you can advance city by city along the Wei River, and you must not be able to engage in production with peace of mind, and always be vigilant, and you will be tired after a long time; We can take turns to go out and train our troops; The rebels in Liangzhou will surely collapse because they cannot hold out. ”

Frustrated, he said: "My lord, Jincheng County and Longxi County are all remote and desolate and poor places, and the grain production is extremely low, we just need to besiege and cut off trade with them, and so on to occupy Wudu County and cut off their trade with Yizhou, they will be more difficult and civil strife continues, and when they are both defeated and exhausted, they will dispatch a large army, but they can go down with a drum, why bother to take the initiative?" ”

Gao Shun said: "What you said is very good, but Han Sui, Ma Teng and others are all heroes, and it is really unwise to confront them head-on, which not only consumes a lot of time, money and food, but also causes a large number of casualties among officers and soldiers, so I decided to send people to recruit them and use them for their own use, wouldn't it be better?" ”

Zhou Fei retorted: "My lord, I would rather be the head of the chicken, and the queen of the ox at the end, if it weren't for the approach of the army, making it desperate, how would they give in?" ”

Frustrated with a long-term view, he objected: "Lord, this is not simply a matter of a few rebel leaders, even if there is no Han Sui, Ma Teng and others, there will be others who will take the lead in the rebellion; Now it is the whole Liangzhou people who unite with the Qiang people to oppose the imperial court management; Even if they surrender and move them all out of their hometowns, over time, they will still breed a group of barbarians who can fight well and are extremely fierce, and they will not be able to fundamentally remove the root cause of the rebellion. ”

Zhao Yun also objected: "My lord, the people of Liangzhou are capricious, even if they are co-opted, they can't be used with confidence; For example, Ma Teng, as a member of the Yuan family, rebelled against the Yuan family and rebelled against the imperial court, how could he believe them? ”

Gao Shun said: "What the frustrated military division said is right, surrender cannot solve long-term problems, but it can solve current problems; As for their capriciousness and ease of rebellion, that's a matter of control and regulation; I have made up my mind, and I will send someone to recruit Ma Teng and Han Sui; Subsequently, Zilong's strategy of preparing in Wudu County was adopted, and the Qianghu were incorporated into the army, and the other Qianghu moved into Neiding, so as to reduce border troubles, and actively absorb Han people to stabilize the border county; The military division is responsible for this matter. ”

Gao Shun has a system, a loyal system of military attachés, who are inserted into the incorporated troops, strengthen management, and implement good treatment and policies, which can definitely prevent their rebellion.

"Yes, my lord!" Even if he didn't agree to surrender, Gao Shun decided, he still had to firmly support and implement, he still questioned: "It's just that after recruiting Ma Teng and Han Sui, after quelling the rebellion in Liangzhou, for example, causing Dong Zhuo and the warlords of the Central Plains to fear and hostility towards the lord, I don't know what good way the lord has to deal with it?" ”

Gao Shun explained: "Recruiting Ma Teng and Han Sui is only the first step, and there are still many wars to pacify Qianghu after that, as long as the war continues, Dong Zhuo and others will definitely think that we are mired in the quagmire of war, and will not be moved by fear, but will only gloat." ”

Fu Zhu, Zhou Fei and the others understood Gao Shun's true intentions.

Gao Shun also instructed: "As for the leaders of Zonghan, Zong Jian and the Heguan bandits, as well as the leaders of other small forces, they must all be annihilated and killed and killed; For the people of Qianghu, those who dare to resist will be killed. ”

Heguan is a place name in Gansu; Group: Indicates more than one; Bandits: Robbers, many of whom are Hermes-Epitek.

Fu Zhu very much supported Gao Shun's opinion, and said: "Yes, my lord, we must not appease those who are incapable but ambitious, so as to appease and nurture adulterers, and we must kill them all, otherwise they will be imitated and left to future generations." ”

Zhou Fei also supports this point of view, they can't be allowed to have a fluke mentality, they will rise up to rebel if they are not satisfied, and accept Zhao'an after failure, and there will be endless troubles in the future.

Gao Shun asked again: "Who can send Ma Teng and Han Sui?" ”

Fu Zhu pondered for a while and said: "My lord, the Taishou and Zhonglang of Hanyang County stationed Lu Yi in Ji County, and the army he trained was strong and strong, and the military discipline was strict, so that Han Sui, Ma Teng and other rebels did not dare to attack; He actively recruited Han people from outside the county and appeased the people in the county, and had a high prestige in the local area and among the rebels; And the Koji family itself is a wealthy family in Jincheng County, which is easy to be accepted by Ma Teng, Han Sui and others; Therefore, he was prepared to let the people of the Koyi faction family and the officials of the state go with them. ”

Gao Shun was very satisfied with the candidate of the frustrated master, and coincided with his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, what the frustrated military master said is extremely true, so let's do it." ”

"Yes, my lord!"

After the big event was discussed, Zhou Fei set up a banquet, and everyone drank happily.

That night, Gao Shun, Zhao Yun and his wife, and the eldest princess of Wan Nian all stayed in the state pastor's mansion to rest.

The next day, he began to work on the surrender.
