The bald Xianbei and Lu Shuihu tribes all gave up attacking Guzang for various reasons. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Only the lord of Western Qin begged to return from ambush, and was eager to rush ahead of Wei Shuo and send troops to take Guzang.

At this moment, it was the peak of the power of the Western Qin state, and the beggar Qiangui was ambitious and bent on dominating the northwest.

After he succeeded to the throne, he once thought that the old capital of Yongchuan was not grand and prosperous enough, and strongly advocated moving the capital to Jincheng.

As a result, as soon as he moved to Jincheng, the former Qin Gao Emperor Fu Deng sent an envoy and appointed Qi Fu Qian as the general, Da Shan Yu, and the king of Jincheng.

Subsequently, the leaders of Nanqiang came to join the Western Qin, and at the same time, they sent troops to the tribes on the border, all of which were defeated and subdued.

At this point, the reputation of the beggar Qiangui was greatly shaken, and the Western Qin became a stronger force in the northwest, and the surrounding tribes sent envoys to join it.

Now that he learned that his henchman Lu Guang died in battle, he was in high spirits when he returned to the palace.

He fought in the palace hall and generously addressed his ministers: "Hexi is only a small corner of the land, but because of the war, it has been divided into many territories. ”

"Frustrated Munson calls the shots in West County; Wei Shuo fought rampant in Dunhuang and brutally oppressed the family. ”

"The bald father and son are entrenched in Guangwu, ready to move; And the remnants of the Lu family occupied Guzang and survived. ”

"With the merits left by my father and brother, I intend to pacify Hexi, annex weak countries, and attack the state of darkness, which place do you think is appropriate to fight first?"

After saying that, the eyes of the beggar Qiangui swept over everyone one by one, and finally fell on the eldest son, the beggar blazing pan.

Beggar Blazing Pan has been brave by nature since he was a child, decisive and resolute, and is good at making decisions on the spot, and he has the right to skip others, and he has a belly case after a little thought.

"Bald Xianbei was originally an ally of Western Qin, and the two sides supported each other, so it is not appropriate to raise troops against each other."

"Shazhou is strong, and there are people like Wei Shuo who are both civil and military, and Gaochang is thousands of miles away from Jincheng, not to mention whether it can fight the Hexi army, just transporting grain and grass is a big problem."

"Moreover, when my father sent an envoy to communicate with him, the two sides agreed to communicate with each other, and I am afraid it is also appropriate to use troops against him."

"On the contrary, it is Gu Zang, Lu Guang has died in battle, the heir Lu Shao is young and ignorant, although Lu Hong, Lu Su, and Lu Fu have civil and military talents, but they are suspicious of each other and cannot be of the same heart."

"If my father sends troops to attack, Houliang will definitely panic and show flaws."

"The only thing to worry about, I'm afraid that Hexi will not allow my country to monopolize Guzang."

"Therefore, if you want to annex Guzang, you must first defeat the Hexi army."

"Next, adhere to the strategy of annexing the weak and attacking the foolish, so that in a few years, Western Qin will definitely dominate Hexi, and there may be a chance to enter Guanzhong in the east in the future."

"Hahaha, sitting in Guanzhong and unifying the world, that's what only heroes like Shi Le and Fu Jian can do."

"I just relied on my father and brother Yu Yin to get things done, as long as I can occupy Hexi, I will be satisfied."

Qi Fu Qiangui thought that his son's worries were very reasonable, and while he mobilized troops and horses to prepare for the north, he formed an alliance with the bald Xianbei to deal with Wei Shuo together.

……

After the war, there was a mess outside the city of Dunhuang.

Although half a month has passed since that battle, looking back, Wei Shuo is still excited.

On the same day, Lü Guangma lost his front hoof and was killed by Wei Shuo, which caused Lü's army to completely collapse.

In addition to Lü Su, Lü Yan, Lü Fu and other Lu clan brothers and sons who escaped with their lives, the 100,000 Western Expedition army finally did not survive.

After the war, Lü Su and Lü Fu fled all the way to the east, giving up Jiuquan, Zhangye, Linsong, Qilian and other cities west of the western county.

Wei Shuo sent Li Wei and Duan Ye to each lead 6,000 cavalry to the east, followed behind Zhu Lu, and seized a large area of territory.

"Master, are you alright?"

Wei Shuo, who was originally dealing with official business, saw Du Jin come in and hurriedly got up.

If you want to say who is the saddest in Lu Guang's death, it must be Du Jin.

In any case, Lu Guang and Du Jin have been through hardships together.

The two worked together to defeat hundreds of thousands of Western Regions coalition troops, and together they survived the difficult years when the former Qin collapsed.

Later, the two parted ways for various reasons, but Du Jin never thought that one day Lu Guang would die in front of his eyes, let alone be killed by his apprentice.

When he learned of Lu Guang's death, Du Jin was blindsided, and the whole person was dumbfounded, completely losing his spirit.

Wei Shuo was worried that something would happen to his master, so he arranged for him to go back to his house to rest, but he didn't expect to appear again today.

"Well, after resting at home for more than ten days, I finally relieved myself."

Du Jin sat on the side as he spoke, picked up the case and browsed it through the military newspaper.

Seeing that Du Jin's face was not good, but his spirit was okay, Wei Shuo was relieved.

He pointed to the case and said: "These are the latest military reports that I have just received, and some of them have not had time to read yet." ”

"Master might as well sort it out first, pick out the most urgent ones, and I'll deal with it later."

"Ah, I didn't expect Li Wei and Duan Ye to make progress very quickly, and even Zhang Ye won it."

"After the Battle of Dunhuang, the Lu army was defeated, and people everywhere were panicked."

"The Lu clan only cares about fleeing to Guzang, where do they want to get arrangements for defense along the way?"

"Duan Ye and Li Wei almost regained a large area of territory like a tour."

"If it weren't for Shuo's worries that it would not be good for them to go deep alone, maybe the two of them would have gone to Guzang earlier."

"Well, you're right to slow down like that."

"Defeating Lu Guang, although Zhiyuan is powerful in Hexi, it does not mean that the land of Hexi is at your fingertips."

"There are still many ambitious Hu tribes in various places, and they may not be willing to serve Zhiyuan as the master."

"The teacher's words are exactly what I am worried about, frustration and resignation, bald thinking and revenge, and Tugu Hun even look at each of them are all heroes."

"Everyone has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, entrenched in various places in the west of the river."

"And the Hu people have always been afraid of power and virtue, if you want to make Zhuhu surrender, I am afraid you have to subdue them first."

Just as Du Jin and Wei Shuo were discussing the current military situation, they saw Song Miao walking in with a list.

Seeing his sad face, Wei Shuo knew that there was a tricky matter waiting to be dealt with.

"Tiye, seeing that we are about to enter Hexi, why are you still sad all day long?"

"Alas, don't worry!"

Song Miao handed the list to Wei Shuo with a bitter face, and explained: "My lord, this is the list of rebels that has just been drawn up, and the children of more than a dozen big families, including Tang and Linghu, have been detained pending trial, with a total population of several hundred. In the end, how to deal with it is still up to the Lord to decide. ”

"Alas, what a trouble! To tell the truth, Lao Tzu really can't wait to kill them all directly, one hundred! ”

Seeing Wei Shuo being ruthless beside him, Du Jin and Song Miao couldn't help but smile bitterly at the same time.

They also knew that Wei Shuo was just talking, and it was impossible to kill everyone.

"The family is intertwined, and it affects the whole body."

"If the lord really kills everyone, it will definitely make the good situation in front of him go down the drain, and the family that has already fallen to the lord is likely to be dissatisfied again."

"yes, I know that."

"A few days ago, for the sake of these people, even my father-in-law, who has never been treated very well, came to the door to intercede in person, do you think I can not give face?"

"However, these people have committed unforgivable sins after all, and if they are not severely punished, it may be difficult to warn future generations."

"Master's words are very reasonable!"

"After thinking about it again, I plan to punish several masterminds to set an example, and the rest of the people will be sent to the Western Regions to defend the border, what do you think?"

"This is a very appropriate move, and the minister has no objection."

"The old man also thinks it's best to deal with it like this."

……

After half a month of running all the way, Lu Su, Lu Fu and others finally returned to Guzang, originally set out with an army of 100,000, but only more than 10,000 remnants were left at this time.

Seeing this scene, Lu Shao, Lu Bao, and the heads of the major families who were in charge of staying behind all collapsed, completely unable to believe what was happening in front of them.

The prince Lu Shao grabbed his uncle Lu Yan's arm and asked again and again, "How can this be?" How so? What about the father? ”

At this moment, everyone finally realized that the catastrophe was coming, and the major families who had supported Lu Guang before also became panicked.

On the day the defeated army returned to the city, Lü Shao succeeded him as the king of the three rivers.

He took Taiyuan Duke Lu Su as the captain, Changshan Duke Lu Hong as Situ, and his uncles Lu Yan and Lu Bao jointly presided over the government, and sent several envoys to the Quartet for help.
