Although the Qiang problem has been temporarily solved, Gao Shun has always been very worried about this method; In normal years, in order to obtain benefits from the government, they may be very duty-bound, if they encounter a disaster year, these Qiang people are forced by life, and they will definitely rebel again, so he is also thinking of a more reasonable way to manage these barbarians.

The quality of Han Sui's officers and soldiers was very good, and in the end, more than 13,000 people were selected, Han Sui left 10,000 people, and the rest were transferred to the jurisdiction of Lu Yi.

According to Han Sui's personal request, hoping to make a meritorious career, Gao Shun temporarily transferred him to Liangzhou and placed him under the command of Xu Rong.

As soon as he took refuge, he served as a Zhonglang general, Han Sui was the first person, and he also cherished it very much.

The Qiang and Southern Xiongnu have been successfully resolved, and the next step is to recover Jiuquan County and Dunhuang County, open up the passage to the Western Regions, and reopen the Silk Road.

In order to strengthen Xu Rong's strength, Fu Zhu transferred Hu Zhen to Zhangye; In order to balance and contain Lu Yi, Ma Teng was transferred from Wuguan to Ji County to be stationed in Ji County, serving as the general of the Qiang Zhonglang, responsible for monitoring the upper reaches of Huangshui and the eleven Qiang people in the north and south of Qinghai Lake, and managing the Qiang and Di tribes in Wudu County and Longxi County.

Each of the 11 newly established Qiang Daoists sent a 1,000-strong team to support Xu Rong, and they also hoped to receive military exploits and rewards, and even more hoped to be recognized by the government for the combat effectiveness of their troops.

The Hu people of Jiuquan County and Dunhuang County were mainly the escapees after the defeat of the Xiongnu Yuanyouxian Wang; secondly, the Qiang people, who maintain an intact tribal structure; There are also Di people, Wuhuan people, Xianbei people, big and small Yueshi, etc., which are more messy.

The reason why Cheng Wu did not recover the two counties was not because of how strong the Hu people were, but because the strength of the local clans was too strong. However, he did not do any work, just waited, but actively contacted the people in Jiuquan County who were not on good terms with the Huang family and the loyal people who were loyal to the imperial court to prepare for the attack on Jiuquan County.

Now that the Qiang in Xiping County and the Xiongnu in Ningxia County have been resolved, it is only a matter of time before the local tyrants of Jiuquan County and Dunhuang County have lost their external support and intelligence sources, and they are pacified.

More importantly, when the Western Regions and the Xianbei people saw Gao Shun's determination to solve the four counties of Hexi, they were frightened to reduce their support, which greatly increased the pressure on the clans of the two counties.

After the Zhang family of Jiuquan County moved to the Central Plains from Zhang Huan, Jiuquan County was replaced by the newly rising Huang family; The Jiuquan Huang clan came from the Western Han Dynasty Prime Minister Huang Ba and has been breeding here for more than 200 years.

Later, when Huang Yan was appointed as the Taishou of Jiuquan County, the Huang family developed by leaps and bounds.

Although Huang Yan's surname is Huang, he is not from Jiuquan County, but he is surnamed Huang with the Huang family of Jiuquan County, which is a coincidence, and he was used by the Huang family when he was too punctual in Jiuquan County, and the Huang family seized the opportunity to obtain a lot of benefits; When the Qiang people rebelled, Huang Yan surrendered to the Qiang people, and later rebelled and returned to the right, and served as a member of the army and a county under Zhou Fei, and now he is serving in the army under Fu Zhi.

Now Xu Rongbing is strong and strong, eager to attack and complete the mission given by Gao Shun.

He had under his command the Zhonglang generals Gao Lan, Cao Ren, Zhang Ji, and Han Sui, plus 10,000 cavalry under his direct jurisdiction, as well as the armies of many military Sima and other Sima troops, as well as more than 10,000 cavalry assisted by the Qiang people, and the total number of cavalry and infantry was more than 80,000.

Cao Ren was first the Sima of other departments, and then was promoted to Zhonglang General for his exploits in the battle to recover Zhangye's vassal state, of course, there were also reasons for Gao Shun's secret instructions.

The head of the Huang family was Huang Jun, who was the Taishou of Wuwei County before the Yellow Turban Uprising, and was removed from his post for some reason, and had a high prestige in the local area, becoming the actual controller of Jiuquan County.

Among the younger generations, Huang Ang, Huang Hua and others are quite talented, Huang Hua served as the Taishou of Jiuquan County, Huang Ang served as the governor of Jiuquan County, and the entire Jiuquan County was under the control of the Huang family.

The Qiang people in Xiping County had surrendered, and Han Sui was ordered to contact and plot against the Qiang people in Jiuquan County, promising to refer to the methods of Xiping County and allow them to set up a Qiang Humane in Jiuquan County to divide and disintegrate the forces of the Huang family.

In order to reduce the battle damage and end the battle as soon as possible, Fu Zhi ordered Huang Yan, who joined the army, to secretly return to Jiuquan County and rebel against Huang Hua.

The multi-pronged approach delivers great results.

The first to achieve results was Han Sui, who had a very high prestige among the Qiang people, and the Qiang tribe in the northwest did not dare not give Han Sui face, and he came forward to persuade him, how could the Qiang people in Jiuquan County dare not obey? Besides, they have always had close contact with the Qiang people in Xiping County, and now the Qiang people in Xiping County have surrendered, set up the Qiang people, the Qiang people themselves manage the Qiang people, and the chiefs and marshals have obtained a lot of benefits, they are very envious, anyway, after surrendering, there are many benefits, not only can get the support and benefits of the Han government, but also do not affect their rights and interests in the tribe, so they accepted the persuasion of Han Sui and surrendered to the Han people.

Han then let them continue to lurk, waiting for orders, asking them to make war exploits first, and then announce to the public that they had defected to the government.

Huang Hua is not a member of the Huang family in Jiuquan County, and his relationship is a little far away, and he belongs to a distant branch; For his personal interests, he has the possibility of rebelling against the Huang family.

Historically, Huang Hua had rebelled in Jiuquan County, and served as the Taishou of Jiuquan County, after the rebellion of Lu Yan of Xiping County and Zhang Jin of Zhangye County was put down, Huang Hua was afraid and surrendered to Wei, and later moved closer to Sima Yi, who was a very cunning person who could see the wind and steer the rudder.

When he saw that the government was constantly transferring troops to Zhangye, he was already very frightened in his heart; The Qiang and the Xiongnu were successfully solved by the government, and there were tens of thousands of troops of Luyi stationed in Jincheng to support at any time, and the power of Jiuquan County alone could not compete with the government.

Huang Yan saw Huang Hua secretly, Huang Hua knew his intentions, and without persuasion, Huang Hua said: "Brother Clan, there is no need to say much, Hua's mind has been decided, and he will definitely go to the government, but there are too few soldiers under Hua's jurisdiction to change the overall situation." ”

Huang Yan was overjoyed, he didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and said with a smile: "What the prince said is not true, as long as you care about the government, the overall situation has been decided." ”

"What do you mean by this?"

Huang Yan said with a smile: "The prince of the mansion is not the descendant of the Huang family, if the war starts, they will retreat to the Yumen Pass, and the Huang family will definitely abandon the monarch of the prefecture, so that after the monarch is broken, stick to the county seat, and buy time for their evacuation, and at this time, the monarch can calmly control most of Jiuquan County, as a gift of conversion to the government, isn't it wonderful?" And immediately respond to the arrival of the army of the Duke of Wei, follow and pursue Huang Ang and others, and will surely win a complete victory, and the prince of the palace will also make immortal achievements because of this. ”

Huang Hua smiled bitterly: "Brother clan, how can it be so simple? They must first control the subordinate family, otherwise how dare they let the subordinate army be cut off? ”

Although Huang Yan joined the army by name, he knew very little about military strategy, and he was powerless about Huang Hua's difficulties, so he said: "Don't worry, when I return to the military division, he will have a good plan." ”

So, Huang Yan happily sneaked back to Zhangye and reported the results of persuasion to Xu Rong; Huang Hua also waited for the government's instructions.

At this time, the Xiongnu slaughtered all the tribes because the southern Xiongnu were destroyed, but they did not dare to take revenge, in order to preserve their strength, they were preparing to move westward, temporarily avoiding the edge of the Han people, which made the Huang family even more surprised.

So, Huang Jun immediately gathered everyone in the family to discuss countermeasures.

The Qiang people moved, the Xiongnu wanted to move westward, and the government soldiers pressed the border, where should their Huang family go?
