A few days later, Wang Zhongde and Gao Jinzhi returned to Jinyang with more than 10,000 Qihu captives.

At this moment, the Zhongqihu captives had been subdued by the cruel methods of the Hexi army, and their faces were full of fear and uneasiness.

They had witnessed with their own eyes that the Hexi Army had gathered all the nobles and leaders of the tribe together.

Then, ignoring the people's begging for mercy, they wailed, and in a miserable scream, they were slaughtered by thousands of iron horsemen riding horses and raising swords.

They will never forget the people who ran and struggled under the iron hooves and horizontal knives.

The faces of those who wailed in pain were so desperate, and the hands that tried to reach out were so helpless.

In just one cup of tea, all the pleas and resistances turned into blood and death under the iron hooves of the Hexi Army.

This tragedy seems to awaken the memories hidden in the depths of each Qihu's mind.

It was as if everyone had returned to Yecheng - that nightmarish night.

What made Qihu even more desperate was that the Dadu Guardian Shuo was much stronger than the weak Wuwu Heavenly King back then.

Even so strong that the leader Er Zhu Yujian heard that the Hexi army was going north, so he could only flee in the wilderness.

And these old, weak, sick and disabled have no choice but to tie their hands and quietly wait for an unknown fate to come.

……

Wei Shuo rode on his horse, looking at the Qihu captives who walked in front of him one by one, and was suddenly attracted by a Qihu family in the team.

Guo Yi next to him noticed the abnormality, and hurriedly followed the eyes of the capital, and happened to see the Hu family.

This is an ordinary Hu family, and the Hu man tries his best to protect his wife and children with his body and arms.

The two children clutched at their parents' clothes in fear and cautiously walked towards their destination.

His wife's face was also full of fear and despair, and she walked in the middle of the procession, holding her husband's hand and not daring to relax for a moment.

In fact, everyone's surviving Qihu has become a frightened bird like this Hu people.

In the face of the killing frenzy, each is full of despair for the future.

However, contrary to the expectations of ordinary Qihu, they did not follow in the footsteps of the nobles, nor were they even relegated as slaves.

Only the government personnel came up one by one and accepted the Khuhu prisoners in an orderly manner.

It wasn't until they received their identity cards that these ordinary Qihu settled down a little.

Seeing this scene, Guo Yi couldn't help but ask: "Dadu Hu, why don't you take the opportunity to cut the grass and eradicate it?" ”

"Zhongju, you must understand that hatred can make a nation rise rapidly, but it will also prevent a nation from moving towards new glory."

"We can neither forget hatred nor allow it to be blinded."

"But after all, we are different from the barbarians, and the Chinese nation is the greatest and most civilized nation in the world."

"When I was conquering Hehuang, I once said to Zhongde that Hexi is a conqueror, and he will never be able to conquer others by killing."

"Using ethnic contradictions to kill the nobles and those who have a lot of blood debts in the Qihu tribe is to vent hatred and revenge."

"And leaving these ordinary Hu people is not to show benevolence, but to divide and disintegrate with class contradictions."

Speaking of this, Wei Shuo pointed to the Hu people in front of him and said, "What is the difference between those ordinary Hu people and ordinary people?" Not the same as being exploited and oppressed? ”

"We want to use the inclusiveness of Chinese culture to transform them into our own people."

"Nearly 100 years of war have reduced the population of China to an outrageous level."

"When will we achieve the great rejuvenation of the nation without increasing our own population by some supernormal means?"

"Lord, the minister understands!"

Guo Yi thought for a while, and finally nodded.

Just as Wei Shuo and Guo Yi were talking, they saw Wang Zhongde walking towards this side.

As soon as he arrived in front of Wei Shuo, he fell to one knee with a plop.

"The last general failed to catch Erzhu Yujian's father and son, please protect and punish most of them."

"Hey, Zhongde, hurry up, what are you talking about?"

"Erzhu Yujian fled because the enemy was too cunning, why is it a crime?"

Wei Shuo hurriedly stepped forward to pick up Wang Zhongde, patted the other party on the shoulder, and comforted: "You quickly pacified the Xiurong Rebellion, which greatly deterred the Zhuhu in the territory. ”

"Zhongde doesn't know something, and in the past few days, the leaders of Hulu have been running to Jinyang to ask for attachment."

"Yes, yes, these are all the credit of the royal governor." Guo Yi said on the side.

The secretary Lang laughed, what is the credit? It's all about relying on the power of the tiger in most of the capitals. ”

"Okay, don't sell melons and boast here, and then Shuo has something to tell Zhongde."

Seeing that most of the protectors were talking about business, Wang Zhongde and Guo Yi stood solemnly.

Wei Shuo stared at Wang Zhongde with burning eyes, and instructed seriously: "Zhongde will sit in the town and merge the state in the future, and his main responsibility is to defend Houyan in the east and reject Weiwei in the north. ”

"Especially the Northern Wei Tuoba Jue, you must always keep an eye on him, and if there is any change, immediately report to the Zhenxi General's Mansion."

"The last will understand." Wang Zhongde focused on his head.

He knew very well that in the minds of Daduhu, Tuoba Jue was the biggest enemy of Hexi in the future.

As for Hou Yan and Hou Qin, they were not taken seriously by Dadu Hu and Hexi at all.

Hou Yan said that Murong Chuihu was still there, and he was a little threatening for the time being.

As for Hou Qin, everyone knew that it was already in Hexi's bag.

Next to him, Guo Yi suddenly asked, "Lord, is it time to destroy Hou Qin next?" ”

"Huh? Why did Zhongju ask? Wei Shuo deliberately compared Guo Yi and deliberately asked the other party.

"Obviously, Dadu Hu has repeatedly told Wang Dudu to monitor Qin Yan, but he is noncommittal to Hou Qin."

"It can be seen that most of the guards have regarded Guanzhong as something in their pockets, and they must have a comprehensive plan in their hearts."

"Monitoring Qin and Yan is obviously because they don't want the other party to affect the plan to enter Guanzhong in the east."

"In fact, not to mention these details, judging from the overall situation, the opportunity to recover Guanzhong and eliminate Houqin is ripe."

"In the battle of Pingyang, Later Qin lost most of its elite, and the land of the four counties obtained by the east is now only two counties."

"The overall strength can only be regarded as a slight improvement, but it is much inferior to Hexi."

"And recently, there have been rumors that after Yao Xing returned to Chang'an, he began to believe in Buddhism as if he had changed as a different person."

"I only care about listening to the teachings of Buddhist masters all day long, and I am no longer as diligent and loving the people as before."

"Such a God-given opportunity, how can you let it go with the wisdom of the capital?"

"Hahaha, Zhongju, who knows me!"

After laughing, Wei Shuo looked at Wang Zhongde again and said, "At the latest, the year after tomorrow, Hexi will definitely send troops to Guanzhong." ”

"However, Tuoba is a hero, and it is impossible for him to watch Hexi take Guanzhong."

"Zhongde is in Bingzhou, not far from Xinping City, which just echoes Shuofang Jiuyuan City."

"Once you find any misdeeds in the Northern Wei Dynasty, you can immediately take corresponding measures."

"The lord's intention is to let the ministers cooperate with the Shuozhou Governor's Mansion to suppress the Northern Wei Dynasty from the west and south?"

"Yes, exactly!"

"The Northern Wei Dynasty was born in a nomadic tribe, and its own recovery ability far exceeds that of Hexi."

"You must try to delay the recovery of the strength of the Northern Wei Dynasty and delay the pace of the next external expansion of the Northern Wei Dynasty."

"However, you should not deliberately provoke conflicts, and you should control the proportions yourself."

"You must understand that the general trend in the north today lies in Hexi and the Northern Wei Dynasty."

"Whoever can take the initiative in the next round of expansion is likely to take the initiative in the future."

"The last general understands, please rest assured, I will definitely contain the Northern Wei Dynasty and make trouble for Tuoba Jue as much as possible."

Next, by quelling the Qihu Rebellion, Wei Shuo personally ordered the state governor's office to be merged, and let Wang Zhongde and Gao Jinzhi each lead the men and horses to sort out and rectify Zhuhu.

Before and after, in the name of rebellion, the Hexi army killed more than 1,000 leaders and leaders of Hulu.

Only tens of thousands of ordinary Hulu herdsmen were left to be dispersed and resettled in the territory of Bingzhou.

With the suppression of Hulu and the subjugation of the family, Bingzhou was finally firmly controlled by Hexi, and comprehensive construction began.

In late September, when everything was normalized, Wei Shuo left Zhang Teng, Wang Zhongde, Gao Jinzhi, Tan Daoji and others to guard the state.

And he and Cui Hao, Liu Muzhi, Wang Zhenxi, Kang Long and other civil and military embarked on the return journey.

Walking in the team, Guo Yi was both excited and apprehensive.

I am excited to finally have the opportunity to go to the legendary Liangzhou to see if it is as Wang Zhongde said, prosperous and rich in the Central Plains.

In addition, he was also a little apprehensive in his heart, wondering if he could lead the family to rise again as his uncle expected.

Wei Shuo and his entourage traveled for nearly half a month, and in early October, everyone finally returned to Guzang.
