The reason why he successfully recovered the southern part of Beidi County and established a stable rule was because of the containment of 30,000 cavalry of Guan Yu in the northern part of Beidi County, which caused Qianghuyi to fall to the north to resist Guan Yu's raids; second, because of Cheng Wu's reasonable policy, he won the unanimous support of Haoqiang and the people; Third, it is that the Hu and Han live together, their lives are chaotic, and their minds are stable, and they all want to live a stable life, so they support the return of the government to governance.

Last time Xianbei plundered the northern part of Beidi County, so that Qiang Hu Yiluo suffered heavy losses, this time the Hu people in Beidi County had to be cautious, but they did not expect that when they dealt with Guan Yu, the southern Yiluo was taken advantage of by Zhang Meng and Cheng Wu, and all the Yiluo they left behind were occupied.

There are mature ways to deal with foreign settlements, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled will be quietly disposed of, the girls will be assigned to the officers and soldiers as wives and concubines, the little girls will be treated as maids, the boys will be sent to the training camp for the dead, and the remaining women will be selected as servants and maids.

Cattle, sheep, horses, etc., will be used as trophies, and the officers and soldiers participating in the war have the right to share the spoils.

Zhang Meng and Cheng Wu, with the assistance of the locals, quickly swept away the Hu people in their jurisdiction after reorganizing the armed forces of the county seat.

The strict policy has enabled the local situation to quickly stabilize.

Anding County of the Eastern Han Dynasty belongs to Liangzhou, changed to Linjing County, led 6 counties, originally led Linjing, Pengyang, Jingyang, Wuzhi (Wushi renamed) 4 counties, and placed another Yinpan, Chaona 2 counties.

In the fifth year of Yongchu of the Eastern Han Dynasty (111 AD), due to the Qiang nationality invading Anding County, the county was governed by Meiyang (now Famen Town, Fufeng County, Shaanxi).

Anding County was occupied by Qianghu for a longer period of time, and Qianghu's strength was even stronger.

The barbarians of Anding County are very strong, and there is no other force to restrain them, when Zhang Meng recovered the southern part of Beidi County, they have already received the news, and quickly assembled, ready for war, and the next military operation will not be as smooth as before.

The crowd gathered to discuss the plan of attack.

The opinion of the military advisor was that it would be difficult to recover along the waterway and county by county, and that it would gradually absorb the local strong military forces, and recruit the local Hu and Han soldiers who were familiar with the bow and horses, and the soldiers would become stronger and stronger, gradually consuming the strength of the Hu people.

Lu Yi doesn't think so, now all the troops combined, less than one-third of the Hu people, the Hu people will definitely underestimate the enemy, can fight a decisive battle with the enemy as soon as possible, defeat the enemy's main force, and then encircle and annihilate a small group of remnants of the enemy.

Cheng Wu now has scouts and is most familiar with the information of the Hu people, and he disagrees with the opinions of the two.

Now the Hu people set up their base camp in Gaoping City, known as "the first city of Gaoping" in history, that is, Guyuan City in later generations, and arranged heavy defense in Xiaoguan in the south of it; In the south, only an army was left to garrison Linjing City, hoping to keep the Han army out of the country; In the rest of the counties, only the powerful forces and the mixed Hu and Han people remained; Those Qiang and Hu Lin evacuated too hastily, and did not loot the people who lived together with the Hu and Han people.

Cheng Wu believed that now he only needed to occupy Chaona City, and he could confront the Hu people in Xiaoguan, and then he could easily recover the southern counties; It is not difficult to occupy Chaona City, as long as he contacts the local Haoqiang, he can lead his troops from Beidi County to Yuzhi County to Chaona County, and divide Anding County into two parts: north and south; The Qianghu of Linjing City became a turtle in the urn.

Fu Zhu thought that Cheng Wu's plan was too risky, and if Chao Na City was besieged, he would not be able to rescue in time, and the consequences would be unpredictable.

Lu Yi appreciated Cheng Wu's opinion very much, and decided that he would lead his troops to occupy the city of Chaona and hold it; Cheng Wu and Xu Huang were responsible for annihilating the Hu people guarding Linjing City, recovering the rest of the county, and then joining forces to attack Xiaoguan.

As long as Xiao Pass is occupied and the shortcut to the south of the Hu people is cut off, the safety of the southern part of Anding County can be guaranteed.

Zhang Meng also agreed with Cheng Wu's opinion, he was stationed in Yuzhi County, from the flank to ensure the safety of Chaona City, the Hu people must not dare to move south, otherwise there is also the danger of being besieged; At the same time, he supported Lu Yi's opinion that he had to fight a decisive battle with the Hu people in Xiaoguan and inflict heavy losses on the Hu people in order to ensure that the two counties would not be harassed in the future.

At this time, Fu Zhu was still very cautious, and for the first time, he led the army to fight, and safety came first.

Lu Yi has lived in Jincheng County for a long time, has dealt with Qianghu since he was a child, and is very familiar with the temperament of the Hu people and the combat effectiveness of the Hu cavalry, so he dares to let go, and with Zhang Meng's support from the flank, he will ensure that the city is not lost.

Eventually, he accepted the suggestion.

The soldiers and horses of the headquarters led by Lu Yi occupied the city of Chaona; Xu Huang and Cheng Wu recovered the southern counties and eliminated the Hu defenders of Linjing City; Zhang Meng protects the security of the flanks of Lu Yi.

For the sake of safety, Fu Zhi ordered that the officers and soldiers that Zhang Meng had originally brought from Xihe County, 5,000 cavalry were temporarily under the command of Cheng Wu, and 3,000 infantry were temporarily under the command of Lu Yi.

Immediately, the troops quickly moved into action.

During the Chinese New Year, none of the officers and men could accompany their families, and it was announced that each of them would be paid an additional two months' salary, and the morale of all the officers and men was high.

In the sixth year of Zhongping, on the first day of the first month, in the most solemn festival of the Han people, Lu Yi led 20,000 officers and soldiers to set off to Chaona City.

The scouts and spies sent by Cheng Wu had already made contact with the Han people in Chaona City, and everyone was overjoyed and eagerly awaited the arrival of the Han army, and had sent people to contact and guide the army into the city.

After two days of rapid marching, Koji Yoshitsu successfully entered the castle of Asana.

The Hu defenders of Xiaoguan were very surprised by the arrival of the Han army, and no one would have thought that the Han army would choose to go out during the Chinese New Year.

Koji Yi entered the city of Asana, was warmly welcomed by the local heroes, and then announced the policy of the future, quickly absorbing the powerful forces and strengthening their own strength.

Xu Huang and Cheng Wu in the south had a clear division of labor, Xu Huang quickly surrounded Linjing City, and Cheng Wu was responsible for taking over the county seats.

Cheng Wu first announced to the public that Taishou was a native of Jincheng County, and it was easier to get the support of the local people.

Secondly, the local Haoqiang had long heard of the policy of Northland County and was very supportive of the government's actions.

With the support of a large number of civil and military officials sent by Cheng Wu, Cheng Wu moved very quickly, and nearly 10,000 people were recruited and incorporated by the cavalry alone.

Everyone was very satisfied with the current situation, and the army recruited and incorporated by Cheng Wu quickly gathered and made peace with the city of Linjing and strengthened the siege of the city.

The intelligence system of the Hu people is also very comprehensive, they learned that the city of Chaona was occupied by the Han army, and there was a Han army in Beidi County to protect the security of the flank, and Dong Zhuo's army was stationed in the south as a backup, and the outside of the city was surrounded by tens of thousands of Han cavalry, even if they wanted to break through, it was difficult to escape the pursuit of the Han army, and it was likely to be surrounded and the danger of annihilation.

Now they have lost the courage to break through, and can only hold on to Linjing City, hoping that their main force will go south out of Xiaoguan, defeat the Han army in Chaona City, and come to rescue them.
