According to the head of the Wuhuan people harvested by the Huns and the captured Wuhuan captives, the military clerks calculated the reward received by the Huns, which was close to 50,000 stone grain, Guan Yu did not hesitate to dismiss the reward voucher, and the Huns could go to Taoyuan Fort with the voucher to withdraw the grain.

This move made the Huns cheer up and down, the Han official army did have credibility, and the champion Hou was even more trustworthy.

Because it was a surprise attack, and with an absolute superiority of nearly ten times the number of troops, the Huns basically had no casualties, and they gained so many benefits in just a few small battles, can it not be exciting?

However, this move stimulated the Wuhuan people, the benefits of the Huns were obtained by killing their compatriots, and basically every Wuhuan family had relatives who died at the hands of the Huns, which made the Wuhuan people and the Huns have irresolvable hatred.

The next step was mainly against the Qiang people, and the Wuhuan cavalry was also full of fighting spirit, and the officers and soldiers of all parts strongly applied to fight, hoping to get such a rich reward for their military exploits.

Most of their cattle, sheep and horses were confiscated, and each family had only a few dozen sheep and even fewer cattle and horses, and these cavalrymen had to be rewarded for their exploits in order to feed their families.

The rescued Han people formed 20 cavalry tuns, and Guan Yu singled out more than 800 of them who had married Wuhuan women to form two dissatisfied tribes; The remaining Han cavalry was divided into three cavalry songs.

The two Ququ cavalry escorted the Wuhuan cavalry and their families to settle on the west bank of the river, and these nearly 20,000 people formed a county, and Guan Yu sent a middle-level civil official as the county magistrate to manage these people; As for the name of the county, it will be named by Zhou Fei or the imperial court.

The two cavalry were left behind, mainly because they were familiar with the Wuhuan people and were easy to manage.

Now Guan Yu's confidence has increased greatly, and his strength has increased a lot, adding Siqu Wuhuan cavalry and Sanqu Han cavalry, and the 25 Tun auxiliary soldiers are responsible for carrying heavy loads and guarding prisoners, so that the cavalry can be liberated to participate in the battle; In this case, he was not ready to wait for the Han army on the southern front, but to move in advance.

Seeing that the Wuhuan people were eager to fight, Guan Yu ordered the Xiongnu Zuo Dadanghu to lead 5,000 cavalry to rush to Yangzhou County and hold on to Yangzhou.

Zhou Cang led the Liuqu Wuhuan cavalry to Pingdu County; He led the Han cavalry and the Xiongnu Zuo general to sweep towards Gaonu County on the left and right.

The auxiliaries were responsible for guarding the Wuhuan prisoners and escorting grain and grass.

The Xiongnu Zuo Dadanghu gained a lot last time, and this time he was full of fighting spirit, and there was no pressure on sweeping the Qiang tribe, and in Shangjun, any single Qiang tribe was no match for his five thousand cavalry.

He divided the army into two divisions, left and right, each leading 1,500 men, and he brought 2,000 people as the center.

Zuo Da has experience, and if he can capture prisoners, he will capture prisoners, which not only alleviates the resistance of the other party, but also can get more rewards; The rescued Han Chinese, without selection, were all assigned as auxiliaries by the accompanying middle-level civil officials to assist the Huns in guarding the prisoners.

The Wuhuan cavalry is not as gentle as the Hun cavalry, they have been squeezed by the Qiang people for a long time, and they have long been dissatisfied with the Qiang people, and they have just been killed by the Huns, which just adds hatred to the Qiang people.

Wherever they passed, the heads of those who were killed were rolling and rivers of blood flowed, and in order to reduce the drag of the captives, all the old and weak were killed.

Under Zhou Cang's false persuasion, the beautiful girl and the young man were left behind, let them marry the rescued Han slaves, and formed a separate Qiang Yicong cavalry.

These Qiang people were full of gratitude to Zhou Cang and hated the Wuhuan people.

And the Wuhuan people don't care about the hateful gaze of the Qiang people at all, they can vent their inner anger and hatred, they can only rely on killing, and killing can also bring good gains; Now that they have the support of the Han people, they don't have to care about the attitude of the Qiang people.

Due to the drag of the captives, the speed of the Xiongnu Zuoda was not as fast as that of the Wuhuan cavalry.

The Wuhuan cavalry did not take prisoners, and even those women who remained had war horses in order to keep up with the movements of the large army; The rescued Han Chinese were escorts behind the herds of cattle and sheep, and were responsible for transporting the baggage.

Guan Yu was very satisfied with the speed of the above two troops, and he led tens of thousands of cavalry to hurry slowly, and when the Huns and Wuhuan people occupied Yangzhou County and Pingdu County, and tightened the gap, he surrounded Gaonu again and picked the greatest fruits of victory.

Guan Yu believed that after the occupation of Yangzhou and Heping, the Qiang people would definitely concentrate on Gaonu in order to protect themselves, and this was an opportunity for him to obtain great military exploits.

Zhou Fei also began to act after Guan Yu sent his troops, leading 3,500 cavalry across the Yellow River and arriving in Xiayang County to join Xu Huang.

During this time, Xu Huang's harvest was also good, and a large number of stranded Han cavalry and infantry were recruited along the Yellow River and Luoshui alone.

After the scouts brought back the news, Xu Huang ordered Song Xian to lead 3,000 cavalry to raid Yaxian, not only rescuing a large number of Han Chinese, but also seizing a large amount of supplies and capturing more than 8,000 Qiang people.

Guan Yu obtained an unexpected harvest this time, which made Xu Huang and Song Xian very envious, and after Zhou Fei arrived, Xu Huang applied to send troops immediately.

Zhou Fei couldn't bear the loneliness for a long time and agreed to Xu Huang's application.

Xiayang County, Linjin County, and Ya County were left behind by newly recruited officers and soldiers; 3,000 Shangjun infantry were responsible for escorting grain and grass; Zhou Fei led Xu Huang, Song Xian, and 7,500 cavalry to the north; Song Xian and Xu Huang each led 2,500 cavalry divided into left and right wings, and Zhou Fei led 2,500 cavalry as the middle road.

Since Zhou Fei used the space ring to carry some grain and grass, the logistical pressure was slightly lighter.

The Qiang people encountered along the way all adopted a similar strategy as Guan Yu, either accepting to be absorbed or being annihilated on the spot.

The measures taken are similar to those of Guan Yu, and if there are family members who join the army, their family members are distributed with daily necessities and organized into Yiluo and tribes.

The remaining people were centrally managed and gradually transferred to Yaxian and Xiayang counties, where they would be sold into slavery in the Central Plains in the future; The guards were newly freed Han Chinese slaves; These people were once brutally treated by the Qiang people, and now they are treated unceremoniously and intolerantly.

Without the drag of logistics and prisoners, the speed of the northward movement was very fast.

The Qiang people are not stupid, they have special news channels, and the news is transmitted quickly, they learned that there are a large number of Han troops in the south, and the Han army and the Xiongnu coalition army in the east, and they are strong and difficult to contend with.

The weak tribes began to migrate, and the tribes close to the Northland County quietly migrated to the Northland County, and some small tribes chose the big tribes to take refuge; Powerful tribes began to prepare for war, and took the opportunity to sneak attack and annex weaker tribes; Before the Han army arrived, the Qiang people began to become chaotic.

In order to protect themselves, several relatively large Qiang tribes reached an agreement to unite against the enemy, if there is no fixed pasture, they will not be able to survive in the coming year, this is for them, it is a fight for survival, and they cannot be allowed to retreat.

In spring, summer and autumn, nomads can migrate quickly, but in winter they are difficult to move, and they cannot transport only a large amount of forage, and in the cold winter, without forage, all cattle, sheep and horses cannot survive, unless they are willing to give up the cattle and sheep on which they depend; Guan Yu also saw this, so he was not worried about the large-scale escape of the Qiang people.

Not only did the alien races in Shangjun prepare for war, but even the alien races in Beidi County and Anding County and the Xiongnu Youxian Wang Department in Shuofang County began to get nervous.

The Han army flanked from the north and south, putting huge pressure on the Qiang and the surrounding aliens.
