From the west to Yuzhong County, including a large area of mountainous areas in between, it was the jurisdiction of the warrior county set up by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. After the fastest update, the Han Dynasty came and went in this land for more than 1,000 years, and many cities were abandoned, and the history of the rise and fall has been submerged in history.

Xu Ping set out from the Western Envoy City, passed through the Western Han Dynasty's management of Xiongnu affairs, crossed the mountain beam into the river valley, and went out of the valley to Kanggu City. It is no longer known when the city was built, but it was added after the party occupied it. The road from Di Dao to Lanzhou and the road from Xicheng to Lanzhou intersect here, which is an important place for transportation.

Sang Yi and Zhang Kang led people to wait outside the city early, and saw Xu Ping's guard of honor from a distance, and the drums were playing in unison.

Xu Ping urged the horse to walk slowly, looking at the surrounding scenery. There had just been a light snowfall the other day, and there were still dots of white on the ground, and the surrounding area was dry yellow, and the eyes were full of the depressed scene of winter.

Lanzhou was strategically important, but the power of the Great Song Dynasty was not valued by the party until it arrived. In the south of the Hehuang Zhufan Department, the party has controlled Miaochuan, Brother Zong's felt horn has also surrendered, and there is Yuzang Huama as a screen, which does not pose any threat to the party. The counties of Hexi have been included in the party's territory, and in order to prevent rebellion there, the army needs to move westward. The Hulu River Valley Road in the east is armed, and a more suitable place is the West Shou Jian Military Division. Lanzhou is sandwiched between several military points, but it has become a blank.

After the first battle of Sanduchuan, Sang Yi immediately led the Xuanwei army of his department to the north, marched over the Mabit Mountain, and occupied Yuzhong County in the Qin and Han dynasties with lightning speed. This is at the junction of the party Xiang Zhuoluo and the Southern Supervision Division and the Xishou Supervision Military Division, the two military supervision divisions watched each other, and never sent troops to interfere with Sang Yi, allowing him to occupy various important places and build a city.

Huizhou is adjacent to the Yellow River, and the valley around the state city is very small, and it is not a transportation artery, which is not conducive to the battle of large armies. If the party wants to fight for this area in the coming year, the big war can only be near Lanzhou, especially Yuzhong County, not in Huichuan. After Sang Yi firmly occupied Yuzhong County, Xu Ping decided to come here to take a look and have a good idea of the war in the coming year.

Gradually approaching the small city, Sang Yi and Zhang Kang greeted them, finished saluting, and respectfully invited Xu Ping to enter the city.

The horse team slowly moved forward, and Xu Ping suddenly found that in front of the city gate, a large number of local people had gathered, kneeling there, with incense tables in front of them, and food and wine for comforting the army.

Xu Ping whispered to Zhang Kang beside him: "I came to Yuzhong this time, I don't want to make a big announcement, why are you still looking for people to welcome you out of the city?" We are at war with the party here, not only for territory, but also for people's hearts, not to disturb the place! ”

Zhang Kang shook his head and said, "Jieshuai, this is wronging me, these people are not found by us, they are willing to go out of the city." ”

Where is Xu Ping willing to believe that the two armies are fighting, no matter how they control their subordinates, the local people will also suffer, and who will willingly meet one of them. Most of the time, local leaders or prestigious scholars organize people to come here for various purposes. To truly make the people love from the heart, their own army has not yet reached that level.

However, at this time, Xu Ping couldn't blame Zhang Kang, so he had to signal to the surrounding people and continue to go to the city.

After walking a short distance, suddenly a Fan man raised his head and shouted excitedly: "Dashuai, I am Zhang Gou'er, and I went to Qinzhou to report the military situation!" The people of the Niche Valley welcome the king into the city! ”

Following this voice, the people kneeling on the ground cheered, and the sound shook the sky.

Xu Ping was stunned for a moment, and only after looking carefully did he recognize that the person who shouted was the last person Kang Gou'er who secretly ran over at night to report the news before the first battle of Sanduchuan. At that time, Xu Ping asked Qinzhou to put him under house arrest, and after the war was over, it was found out that he really had nothing to do with Yuzang Huama, so he rewarded him with a sum of money and let him go back to his tribe, but he didn't expect to see him here again.

Zhang Kang saw that Xu Ping was a little puzzled, and said in a low voice: "Jieshuai, this ancient city of Kang was originally supposed to be the city of Niche Valley, and the other clansmen didn't know the meaning, so they spread it to the ancient city of Kang, and the name was handed down." ”

Xu Ping suddenly realized: "This is the Niche Valley?" One of the six valleys in Hexi? ”

Zhang Kang nodded: "It should be." However, the Niche Valley tribe is scattered around, and the largest number of people is not here. After we occupied this place, many of the Tibetan tribes moved from other places and regrouped. ”

The alliance of the six valleys of Hexi, the easternmost valley is the Niche Valley, and the main force is the last tribe. After the party occupied Hexi and Lanzhou, most of them crossed the Mabitshan Mountain and reached the north of Didao, where the eldest son Blind Felt was attached to them. In order to isolate the road back to Lanzhou from the Tibetan tribe, the party members built two small cities, Wachuan and Fanchuanhui, in Mabitshan, and cut off the road from Didao to Lanzhou. After Sang Yi occupied Yuzhong, those two small cities were also occupied by the Song army, and the roads were reopened.

From Di Dao through the horse bit mountain into Lanzhou, is the old road of the Qingtang Dynasty through the Central Plains, Wachuan and Fanchuan will be built two cities, and there will be no tribute, until Liu Jian walked through the south road again, and then contacted. This valley road was called Rusha Valley in the Song Dynasty, of course, the Rusha Valley called in the previous dynasty is actually a valley road along the Qingshui River to the ancient city of Yuzhong from here, with the same name and different places. There are many other places with the same name around Lanzhou, which are a reflection of the confusion of historical affiliation.

Xu Ping stepped forward, got off the horse, helped up an old man with white hair in the front, and said, "It's cold, everyone get up and talk." From now on, you will be the people of the imperial court, you will not live up to the court, and the court will not live up to you! ”

The crowd cheered and stood up. The old man picked up a bowl of wine from the case next to him and saluted Xu Pingdao: "Most of our Shrine Valley tribes are remnants of the Central Plains, and since the late Tang Dynasty, they have fallen to Fanbu for one or two hundred years. The handsome man came to the north, and all the departments had to see the king again, just like a long night, goodbye! Drink a bowl of wine, Xie Dashuai let our people see the clouds! ”

Xu Ping took the bowl, nodded to the old man, and drank the wine.

The wine is a home-brewed water wine, which has been left for a long time, and it has been cold for a long time, and it has long lost its taste. Xu Ping drank it in his stomach, but he felt a hot breath rise in his abdomen, turning into a full of pride. The north wind blows from the Yellow River not far away, rolling the earthy smell in the river water, hitting the face head-on, like a knife cut, but giving people a kind of pleasure and dripping pleasure.

Most of the Hehuang are Tibetans, but north of the Yellow River, especially in the counties of Hexi, there are many Han people. Although they have long been fanned and become the last tribe, they still retain the memory of the Central Plains Dynasty after all. The forces of the Central Plains Dynasty returned here, they re-tied their hair in a bun, restored their right side, and spoke back to the Han Chinese, which was no longer fluent, and after a few decades, they were no different from the Han people of the Central Plains.

Xu Ping came to the west, and he didn't want to borrow the power of these last people. The Han people in Fanhua are also Fanhua, wishful thinking that they will have the same heart as themselves, and if they are not careful, they will make a big mistake. This kind of misunderstanding is a lesson from the past, and the party's cultural system is based on the Han people there, and they will not happily welcome the Great Song Dynasty. Not to mention that in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song army wishfully thought that the Youyan Han people would welcome Wang Shi, and finally caused a catastrophe.

It was precisely without the help of the power of the last people that their sincere feelings for the Central Plains Dynasty moved Xu Ping, and this welcome was from the heart and did not carry any utilitarian purposes. Eat pot pulp to welcome the king, that's it.
