Chapter 56: They all want to make a profit

With the passage of time, the news of the Liangzhou general chaos gradually spread to the Western Regions, and Bai Zhen, the king of Qiuci, who had been concerned about the situation in Hexi, immediately convened the ministers of the country to discuss countermeasures.

"King, this opportunity has come, and it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Hearing this, Bai Zhen, the king of Qiuci, was full of excitement, and he was excited when he thought that Qiuci would restore his ancestral hegemony. He waited for this day for nearly five years, and for this reason, he did not hesitate to bow down in front of Lu Guang, and even the treasure of the country, the high monk Kumarosh, was forcibly taken away by the other party, and he did not dare to express any dissatisfaction.

However, the hatred of breaking the country and killing his brother, Bai Zhen never forgot for a moment, and now he finally waited for the opportunity to take revenge.

"Hmph, Zhongyuan just likes infighting! It's a pity that the sandpiper and the clam compete with each other, and the fisherman profits. In the future, when Liangzhou will be in a mess and Gaochang soldiers and horses will enter the pass to quell the rebellion, I will hold high the banner of revenge and unite Yueban, Yanqi, Khotan, Shanshan and other countries to jointly send troops to attack Gaochang and destroy the Central Plains forces in one fell swoop. ”

"The king is powerful, and he admires him."

The fart of the Prime Minister of Qiuci was very slippery, and Bai Zhen listened to it very comfortably, as if everything was under control, just waiting for Qiuci to realize his dream of dominating the Western Regions in the future.

……

Dunhuang Suo's is the leading wealthy family in Hexi, and there are 12 people who have occupied important positions in the Suo's family in the pre-Liang period.

In the turbulent years that followed, many prominent families were destroyed in the war.

However, Suo's has always been standing, in addition to So's good at the left and right, it is also related to So's martial arts.

The Suo family knows very well that in the troubled times, it is difficult to maintain the status and interests of the family without mastering a certain amount of military strength.

Therefore, many people in the Suo family are known for their martial arts and hold military power.

It is precisely in this way that the Suo family can always be invincible in the face of frequent changes of various regimes.

Now seeing that the troubled times are about to come, Suoshi is gradually no longer satisfied with vassalizing others, and wants to seize Dunhuang and seek self-reliance.

However, Suoshi didn't want to be a bird, and wanted to reap the benefits of a fisherman, so he secretly supported Wang Mu, who fled to Jiuquan, and successively sent 30,000 stones of corn to Wang Mu to support his rebellion against Lu Guang.

In addition, Suo also sent his family's sons Suo Yan to secretly assemble the family tribes, and once Hexi rebelled, he waited for an opportunity to seize the place where Dunhuang was his foundation.

……

At present, Hexi is about to be in chaos, and the people who want to fish in troubled waters are not only Qiuzi but also the Hexi family, and even the Lu Shuihu people in the territory can't hold back their impatience.

Lushui Huyuan was a branch of the Xiongnu, and by the end of the Han Dynasty, the Wei and Jin dynasties, its people had spread all over Guanlong.

At present, the leader of the tribe is called Fuqu Luo Qiu, although this person is not very capable, but he has several powerful nephews, such as Fuqu Mengxun and Fuqu Nancheng.

Relying on the assistance of his nephew, Fuqu Luo Qiu developed Lu Shuihu into one of the most powerful tribes in Hexi.

When Lü Guang first entered Liangzhou, he also had to appoint Fuqu Luo Qiu as the Taishou of Xijun, and made Fuqu Nan a general, so that Fuqu Mengxun still led the tribe to show his encirclement.

Although he was born from a northern barbarian, he had been extensively involved in history books since he was a child, and he was well versed in astronomy. He is brilliant and eloquent, funny and good at maneuvering, so that even Liang Xi, the former assassin of Liangzhou, and Lu Guang, the governor of Dadu, are very surprised and afraid of him.

In order to avoid trouble, Meng Xun had to often hunt and drink to cover up his talents.

But after all, he was not an ordinary person, and now that he saw that Hexi was about to be in turmoil, he thought that the opportunity for the tribe to grow and develop and his strength had finally come, so he secretly instigated his uncle and cousin to take the opportunity to rebel and divide Zhangye and Xijun.

After listening to Fuqu Mengxun's suggestion, his uncle Fuqu Luo Qiu hesitated, so he summoned his younger brother Fuqu Porridge, his nephew Fuqu Mengxun, and Fuqu Nancheng to discuss together.

The equally ambitious Fuqu Koji Congee agreed with his nephew's suggestion very much, and took the opportunity to say to his brother Fuqu Luo: "Now that Lu Guang is old and ignorant, arrogant and indulgent, the sons have ganged up to dump each other, and the slanderers look sideways. caused Hexi to centrifuge up and down, except for the children of the Lu family, Lu Guang did not trust anyone. ”

"And our Lushuihu tribe has always been suspicious and wary of Lu Guang, rather than being liquidated in the future and dying in the ravine, it is better to take the opportunity to lead the tribal warriors to seize Xijun, gather the people to raise their arms and shout, seize Liangzhou in the future, and establish a hegemony, it is not a problem."

Frustrated Luo Qiu hesitated: "The reasoning is like what you said, but Lu Guang is powerful, and I am afraid that he will not succeed if he moves in a hurry." ”

At this time, the twenty-one-year-old Qu Mengxun stood up and analyzed to everyone: "In the past, the Han Dynasty was in decline, and the ancestors of our department assisted General Dou Rong to make Hexi peaceful. Now that Lu Guang is mediocre and tyrannical, how can he not inherit the ancestors' ambition to stabilize the situation and save him from hating Huangquan in the future. ”

Frustrated Qu Mengxun's words suddenly made everyone excited, and they all shouted to enter Guzang and dominate Hexi.

Only Fuqu Mengxun knew that his own tribe was still early to occupy Liangzhou. In fact, it is not unreasonable to say that my uncle's worries about frustration and hatred are not unreasonable, and it is naturally inappropriate to start an incident. Therefore, he made up his mind at the beginning to plan and then move, first with Peng Huang, Kang Ning, Wang Mu and others, and then gathered troops and horses in the dark to wait for the time.

……

During the Han and Wei dynasties, the Xianbei beggar clan left Dayin Mountain from the north of the desert and moved to Longxi and settled here.

During the reign of Qin Fujian, the chief of Qifu Xianbei was appointed as the general of Zhenxi, and the town warrior Chuan (now northeast of Yuzhong).

Qifu Sifan died, and his son Qifu Guoren inherited his father's business, still the former Qin Zhenxi general, and gradually developed his own power by taking advantage of the power of the former Qin.

In 383 AD, Fu Jian sent Lü Guang to conquer the Western Regions on the one hand, and recruited Ding Zhuang from all over the country on the other hand, and attacked the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south. And Qifu Guoren is a former general, leading the vanguard to ride.

On the eve of the Battle of Weishui, the begging uncle of Guoren rebelled against Longxi.

Fu Jian immediately sent beggar Fu Guoren to lead the army to fight back.

Unexpectedly, after returning to Longyou, Qifu Guoren not only did not quell the rebellion, but conspired with his uncle and wanted to dominate one side.

Soon, the news of Fu Jian's defeat in the water came.

In 385 A.D., he recruited more than 100,000 people, proclaimed himself a general, a great single Yu, and led the two states of the Qin River, built a warrior Sichuan City as the capital, and established the Western Qin.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Western Qin, taking advantage of the fact that Hexi Lu Guang and Guanzhong Yao Chang were too busy to take care of themselves, they successively sent troops to subdue the neighboring departments, so Xianbei, Qiang, and Hu Zhuhu attached to it.

At that time, the vast area of Jincheng and Yuanchuan in the west, Nan'an and Pingxiang in the east, Liantun in the north, and Caohan in the south were all owned by the Western Qin.

At this point, Western Qin gradually became a powerful force in Longyou, and confronted Lü Guang across the Huangshui.

Qifu Guoren knew very well in his heart that Lu Guang repeatedly wanted to cross the Huangshui River and advance eastward, but only because he was blocked by his son's begging and returning to the east, he never succeeded.

But it's not a matter of being beaten all the time and not fighting back, so when Qifu Guoren learned that Liangzhou was unstable, he realized that the opportunity to eliminate the threat of Liangzhou had come.

At this time, Peng Xinian, the leader of Nanqiang who was entrenched in Caohan, also felt the threat from Lü Guang and took the initiative to attach himself to Western Qin.

Qi Fu Guoren accepted his son's plan and instigated Peng Xinian to send troops to attack Baitujin, a strategic town on the north bank of Huangshui under the jurisdiction of Lü Guang. When both sides were defeated, Western Qin sent troops to reap the benefits.

……

In mid-November, Wei Shuo left the panicked city of Dunhuang and returned to Gaochang, which was changing with each passing day.

As soon as he returned to Gaochang, he immediately summoned his subordinates to discuss the strategy of sending troops.

"Naoyuan, what's the situation in Hexi right now?" Yang Han was very concerned about the situation in Hexi, and couldn't wait to ask as soon as they met.

"The Liangzhou Rebellion is inevitable, and various opposition forces are secretly colluding together to try to overthrow Lü Guang."

"Lü Guang sent Du Shi to sit in Dunhuang to deal with the rebellion, and I have been instructed by Du Shi that in the future, he will send someone to invite Gao Chang to send troops to help him quell the rebellion."

"In the future, the only obstacle for Gaochang to send troops to Hexi is Lu Fu, who is sitting in Yumen Pass, he is very likely to defend the pass, and will not let Gaochang's army enter the east, I am afraid that even if there is a handwritten letter from Master Du, I am afraid it will not work."

"So you can only attack?" Yang Han said unwillingly.

"Yumen Pass is a dangerous pass, and it is inappropriate to attack it, so it is best to outwit it." Song Miao frowned and suggested.

"Yumen Pass and let's not talk about it first, I'm afraid everyone underestimated the Liangzhou turmoil before, according to Du Shi, not only the heroes of the Western Expedition participated in the rebellion, but also the local families and tribes of the Hu tribe."

"The bigger the rebellion, the more difficult it will be to reap the benefits, so we must go all out and be united!"
