Han Sui's entourage was quickly killed by Yan Xing, who cut off Han Sui's head and put it on horseback, and Yan Xing led people back to Jincheng. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Yan Xing immediately ordered the imprison of the die-hard faction in the army who were devoted to Han Sui, and then quickly took control of the entire Jincheng.

"General, Jincheng sent a messenger to see the general."

"Oh? Bring it in! The messenger came in with a box, saw that Zhou Yu was a little curious, and asked, "Are you Han Sui's messenger?" ”

"No, General Zhou, I am the messenger of General Yan Xing, my general has been famous for a long time, and I have long had the heart to take refuge in Yan State, but Han Sui was stubborn, and I had no choice but to kill Han Sui, and I am willing to lead all the soldiers in Jincheng to defect to the general."

"Oh? Present! Zhou Yu looked at the head in the box and found that it was indeed Han Sui, but he didn't fully believe the words of this messenger in his heart, and asked: "Your general is half of Han Sui's son, and now he is killing his relatives in righteousness, which makes Ben Shuai very pleased, let's talk about it, what are your general's requirements?" ”

"Don't dare! So that General Zhou learned that although my general is Han Sui's son-in-law, but in fact he has a life-and-death enmity with Han Sui, Han Sui in order to encircle my general, imprisoned the general's family, and then the rebels rebels, my general's family are all in the hands of the rebels, Han Sui felt guilty, so he married his daughter to my general, today my general's revenge is avenged, for the people of Jincheng, willing to lead the people to join the general, and there are no other requirements. ”

"That's the case, okay, you go back and tell your general, Ben Shuai accepts his surrender, and his merits Ben Shuai will report to His Majesty, and reward him for his merits!"

"Thank you, General!"

Yan Xing's surrender, Zhou Yu took Jincheng without much effort, and then Zhou Yu moved the county from Yunwu to Jincheng, after all, the strategic location of Jincheng is very important, and it is an important stronghold for westward expansion.

The next step is to reorganize the surrendered troops, which is a big project, and at the same time, Zhou Yu must also mobilize enough grain and grass to appease the people, and add hundreds of thousands of mouths, if it is not for the food crisis, these soldiers will not surrender easily.

After receiving Jincheng, a big problem was placed in front of Zhou Yu, that is, the contradiction between the Qiang and Han people.

The Qiang nationality is a big national problem, in the northwest region, there are tens of millions of people living in the Qiang tribe, this force must not be ignored, otherwise it will be a huge threat to the Yan State, and it will also be the biggest threat to Liangzhou.

Northwest Zhuqiang, Xian Ling, Sister Le, Dang Frying, Dang Khotan, Feng Yang, Sister Prison, Sister Gang, Beipu, Wuwu, Zhong Cun, Gong Tang, and Freeze, Fu Nan are all in Longxi, Jincheng and their outer counties.

Among the Qiang, the first zero was the most powerful at first, living in the Great Elm Valley, with abundant water and grass, and relatively superior natural conditions. Externally, he used troops on the border of the Han Dynasty, and annexed the weak internally, and was gradually weakened by the joint defeat of Dangqiang and others.

The legend of Burning Dangqiang is the thirteenth descendant of Yan, who originally lived in the Dayuan Valley, with few people and weak strength, and then defeated Xian Ling and Beipu Qiang, and moved to Dayu, becoming stronger and stronger. In addition, Zhong Qiang is also very powerful, claiming to have 100,000 troops. As for the other Qiang tribes, there are more than 10,000 large people and thousands of small ones, and they are all active for a while.

Today, the three tribes that pose the greatest threat to Liangzhou by the Qiang people are Zhongqiang, Yaodangqiang and Xianlingqiang.

There are many Qiang soldiers in the Xiliang cavalry, so the combat effectiveness is very strong, to solve the problem of the Qiang people, it is not possible to achieve the effect in a short time, fortunately, for the problem of foreign races, Yan Guo has long had a precedent in advance, and the method of dealing with Xianbei Wuhuan may not be able to be used here.

The first is to establish a market for the Qiang and Han people, and slowly make the Qiang people economically dependent on the Yan State, and the various refined salts, spirits, and grain and cloth that appear in the Yan State are all materials that these Qiang tribes need very much.

There are also many tribes among the Qiang people who are good to the Han people, and first of all, they need to win over these tribes and let them get practical benefits, so that they can implement the strategy of division and disintegration.

For those Qiang people who are disobedient and try to provoke, Yan is also not afraid, Yan Guo's cavalry is strong in combat and is not weaker than the Qiang in the slightest, so in terms of force, Yan is not afraid of the Qiang people.

If you want to deter the Qiang people, you need to choose a deterrent Qiang captain, the best candidate for this person should be Ma Chao, but Ma Chao's influence in Liangzhou is too great, and his prestige among the Qiang people is very high.

But the prestige of the Ma family among the Qiang people is also what Zhou Yu wants, thinking about it, Zhou Yu decided to take Ma Dai as the captain of the Qiang school, Ma Dai is Ma Chao's cousin, this person is a loyal person, when Zhou Yu reported Ma Dai's position to the Military Aircraft Department, the Military Aircraft Department also agreed to Zhou Yu's recommendation.

Now that Jincheng has been recovered, Longxi has also become a rootless tree, and has to take refuge in Yan State, and Li Su, who died nine times for a lifetime, was also released back by the Dong family.

Zhou Yu was very jealous of the Dong family's power in Longxi, and in order to balance the Dong family, Zhou Yu appointed Li Su as the Taishou of Longxi, believing that Li Su would repay the Dong family well.

After a month's rest of the army, Zhou Yu took Sun Ce and Ma Chao as the vanguard, led 50,000 cavalry to capture Jiuquan, and at the same time brought the Huang brothers.

The last threat to Liangzhou is Liu Bei, or Liu Bei is just a representative of Dunhuang's heroes, especially the Gai family and the Suo family, these two families are used to being the emperor of the soil, and it is not easy for them to accept the policy of Yan.

Ma Chao did not make any great contributions after surrendering, this time attacking Jiuquan, Ma Chao held his breath, thinking that he would have to go to Jiuquan to hand over to Liu Bei, but he didn't expect that Zhangye had fallen into Liu Bei's hands.

The vanguard army is cavalry, so naturally it will not attack the city, so Ma Chao has no choice but to call for battle under the city. It was Wei Yan who was defending the city, Wei Yan boasted of his strong martial arts, and he had not met any opponents in Liangzhou over the years, he had long been unaccustomed to Ma Chao, and when he heard Ma Chao calling for battle, Wei Yan didn't say a word, and went down to the city to face off with Ma Chao with a big knife.

"Come to the general to get the name, this general will not kill the unknown general!"

"Yiyang Wei Yan, come and get the lesson!"

"Good time!"

Ma Chao hadn't fought happily for a long time, and as soon as he fought, he only used fifty percent of his strength, but he found that he was almost cut off by the other party, which made him a little excited.

After a few rounds, Ma Chaoyue was excited, he felt that this Wei Yan could barely be a big opponent, so he no longer kept his hands, and the gun attacked the enemy to save it, which greatly increased the pressure on Wei Yan.

"What a Ma Chao, worthy of being a famous general in the world, if I defeat him, who in the world doesn't know me Wei Yan!"

Wei Yan is a scheming person, he knows that he is definitely not Ma Chao's opponent if he relies on martial arts alone, so he is thinking about how to consume Ma Chao's physical strength and come up with a winning blow.

"Dodge, dodge, what kind of hero, don't hide if you have the ability!"

At first, Ma Chao still felt a little bit like fighting, but slowly this Wei Yan dodged vigorously and did not confront him head-on, which made Ma Chao angry and had nowhere to go, he was simply depressed, and this Wei Yan's body was flexible, especially the equestrian skills were quite good, and he was even different from him, so he was dodged again and again.

"Ma Chao, I'll spare your life today, and fight again tomorrow!"

Wei Yan left Ma Chao and returned to the city alone, Ma Chao intended to chase after him, but when he saw the dense archers on the city tower, he still deterred him, and let him be strong in martial arts.

Ma Chao was depressed in this battle, returned to the camp, and after seeing Sun Ce, he said angrily: "Then Wei Yan is so unhappy, he finally met an opponent who can fight, but he has a stomach full of ghosts, and he doesn't know what medicine is sold in the gourd." ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Sun Ce raised his eyebrows, but did not speak.

The next day, Wei Yan and Ma Chao fought again outside the city, and the result was not much better than yesterday, but after returning to the camp today, Sun Ce was not seen.

"Where's your general?" Ma Chao asked Sun Ce's soldiers.

"Back to the general, the last general doesn't know, the general went out early in the morning, saying that he was going to investigate the military situation!"

"Investigating the military?" Ma Chao was a little puzzled, for a few days, Sun Ce was haunted, and Wei Yan still fought with Ma Chao outside the city every day.

On this day, Ma Chao asked Wei Yan to fight as usual, but after calling for a long time, Wei Yan did not come out, and suddenly, a rumbling sound sounded, and Ma Chao suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"What sound? Not good, it's cavalry! ”

This is obviously the news that a large number of cavalry are approaching, Ma Chao only brought five hundred soldiers today, because every day he said to Wei Yan that he was a fighting general, in fact, it was a competition, so he didn't pay too much attention to it, who would have thought that Wei Yan actually ambushed a cavalry.

When the figure in the distance was on the road, Ma Chao was taken aback, "This is... Lixun people? ”

In the fifty-fifth year BC, the Roman consul Crassus led seven legions on an expedition to the east, and was defeated in battle with the Parthian army, one of the medieval Persian dynasties, Crassus was killed and the Roman army was defeated. Eventually, 6,000 of them broke through the siege and escaped, but instead of returning to Rome themselves, they came to the east, where they settled in the place of Lix.

This Lixuan City was built by Chen Tang, a famous general of the Han Dynasty, and the captured Lixuan people lived here, and the reason why Wei Yan delayed time was to wait for this strange army.

These Lixuan people are afraid that there are not a thousand horsemen, and they are all heavy cavalry, and there are only five hundred horsemen around Ma Chao, and the disadvantages are fully revealed.

"Ma Chao, today is your death!"

"Don't be ashamed!" Although Ma Chao knew that these Lixuan people were very powerful, he was not afraid at all, he didn't fight with the Lixuan people back then, and when they met again today, it could be regarded as meeting the deceased again.

The two cavalry quickly clashed, but with just one charge, Ma Chao fell into the upper hand, losing nearly a third of his soldiers and horses, while the other side suffered almost no losses.

"Big brother, let's withdraw!" It was Ma Xiu, Ma Chao's second brother, who spoke.

"Withdraw!" Heroes don't suffer immediate losses, and Ma Chao is not stupid enough to fight hard with Wei Yan.

"Ma Chao, where to go!" Wei Yan led thousands of cavalry, biting tightly behind Ma Chaojun's buttocks, throwing a wave of javelins from time to time, causing a lot of pressure on Ma Chao.
