In a Qiang tribe in Zhangye County, smoke billowed and flames were engulfing all the houses and felt sheds.

Guo Shi stood upwind and watched the soldiers tie up the Qiang people, old and young, women and children, and then strung them together with ropes to facilitate the journey.

Dozens of Qiang corpses lay on the grass, their blood dried and clotted black.

The captives were bound with their hands tied, and most of them looked sad, either looking at the black blood of the corpses on the ground, or watching the large herds of cattle, sheep, and horses belonging to their own tribes being driven together by the invaders.

A soldier was shouting: "Kill chickens with a knife!" Such a native chicken and a dog are not worth a war, so why use a certain school and military horses? ”

The scribe surnamed Li sent by Yang Fu to lead the way from Wuwei Taishou followed Guo Shi and said: "Captain, the next Qiang people are still more than 200 miles away from here, and the land belongs to Jiuquan County. ”

Listening to the shouts of the soldiers before, Guo Shi was also a little puzzled: "I heard that the Qiang people are fierce, and there is no other way in the department except to kill people to pay for their lives, but the various departments are very friendly, one is affected by the enemy, and the neighboring departments are all coming to the rescue." Why did our school break through six or seven Qiang departments in a row, and no reinforcements arrived? ”

Although there are no excessively large forces in Zhangye, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang, etc., there are many Qiang tribes, thieves, and local heroes, and Deng Ji is unable to govern them for the time being, so he can only order Wuwei Taishou Yang Fu to investigate more and find out the relationship between the forces between various places. Guo Shi had doubts, he really didn't even break the six or seven Qiang tribes, but he didn't meet a matching opponent, and he also felt that it was a bit of a waste of troops, so the scribe explained to him: "Zhangye's various Qiang tribes, most of the men follow Han Sui's army, so they don't follow the chaos." It is no longer enough to start an incident. I heard that my army was here. I am only afraid of living crimes, and I have no time to take care of myself, how dare I come to die again? ”

Guo Shi Naiwu.

He was ready to send a song of men and horses to escort the four or five hundred Qiang prisoners back to Wuwei, and then go to Jiuquan to break the next Qiang people in the original plan, suddenly a soldier shouted, and as far as he could see, a few horses were rushing to come from a few miles away.

The knight who rushed to the scene wore a black-robed halberd, and at a glance he knew that it was his own soldier. Someone on the periphery also went up to stop and interrogate, but they were allowed to leave without saying a word.

Running in front of Guo Shi, the knights dismounted and saluted.

Guo Shi recognized a few of them, they were all the guards beside the Huya General Tai Shici, and asked first: "But the general ordered it?" ”

"No!" The chief of the leader responded: "The general's order, the Qiang prisoner is enough, the captain does not need to be taken prisoner again, return to Wuwei quickly, and after gathering with the general and Liang Kuan, the prisoner will be escorted to Jincheng." Help the left army to break Han Sui! ”

The herald ordered the soldiers to dictate before handing in the paperwork. After Guo Shi confirmed, he dispelled his previous thoughts, and ordered the whole school to take the prisoner this time and turn back to Wuwei.

It only took two or three days when they came, and the captives walked very slowly, but it took seven or eight days to take them back.

After Cao Cao and Yuan Shao retreated, the east of Sizhou was temporarily worry-free, and the two armies of Huya and Xiaocai rushed to Jincheng to help in the battle, and it was only a matter of time before Han Sui was pacified.

It's just that Jia Xu also knows that in addition to the Panshi Army in Hanoi, all the armies in Sizhou are now suffering heavy losses, although Han Sui is no longer worried, but there are Qiang elites, to attack the city and break the county, destroy the enemy and take the golden city, I am afraid that a lot of soldiers will have to be filled.

Sizhou's soldiers are precious, two years of war, and now they are extremely tired, this battle is not only to break the enemy, but also to think of so that the soldiers will no longer suffer great losses, and now in the situation, it is no longer possible to fight with Han Sui.

Therefore, after the Huya and Xiao cavalry arrived, Jia Xu left the Xiao cavalry army in Lingju to deter Han Sui together, making him even more afraid to fight, and the Huya army with smaller losses went north to Wuwei, and Guan Hai and Lu Kuang went south to Longxi, led by Yang Fu and Zhang Ji, two Taishou people, and divided their troops to attack the Qiang tribe that helped Han Sui.

Most of these Qiang men followed Han Sui, and there was a serious shortage of manpower in the tribe, and they did not expect that the Deng army would not fight with Han Sui, so they first came to the bottom of the kettle to draw salaries to find their own bad luck, and only in more than a month, the five colonels of the Huya Army attacked separately, and a total of more than 30 Qiangqi troops were broken.

It could have expanded some more results, but the intention of the left army division was to use Qiang Di to capture and disintegrate Han Sui's Qiang Qi cavalry fighting heart, and it was enough to have these, Tai Shi Ci was afraid that it would take too long, and Han Sui noticed it, so he first fought with Jia Xu with his life, Huya was not there, and he was afraid that Jia Xu would suffer a loss, since it was enough, he ordered the army to return to Lingju.

When the three colonels in the north gathered, they escorted the tens of thousands of old and weak women and children captured in Guzang City during this time, went south to Lingju County, and sent people to order Guan Hai and Lu Kuang to collect their troops.

It took more than ten days along the way.

Han Sui had more than 50,000 soldiers at this time, but after the defeat of the Koji clan, the Han army in Jincheng and Longxi was not in harmony, and the morale of Ma Chao was even lower after the truth of Ma Chao's rebellion spread.

These Qiang cavalry, the first is Zhangye, Jiuquan and other counties of the Qiang tribe to help, when Ma Chao rebelled warriors, Xiliang chao, Han Sui first collected Jincheng, and then sent troops to Longxi, in Longxi and collected a part, although there were losses in the war, the number was more than when the rebellion.

Han Sui is known as a prestige in the Qiang, so the Qiang is willing to help him make a comeback, but no matter how to say that each other is not a family, when the schools of the Huya Army return one after another, Jia Xu will capture the Qiang Qiang to show, and then in the Qiang language to the counties of Jincheng, the uncaptured with the rebel Qiang still have the Sizhou army to crusade, if the Qiang tribe does not go to the Lingju to surrender, every five days will kill a section of the old and weak women and children.

Han Sui's Qiang Qi cavalry in the army was suddenly in chaos.

Could it be that he became Han Sui and really gave away the lives of his tribal relatives?

At the beginning, there were several departments of great dissatisfaction, a total of six or seven thousand horses, pushed the Qiang people in Longxi to burn the leader of the department Yao Qianke as the leader, and asked Han Sui to send troops to help, wanting to capture Lingju and rescue the old and young women and children.

The burning department is a large tribe of the Qiang people, the head of the surname Yao, and the Later Qin of the Sixteen Kingdoms is built by the Qiang people burning the department. At this time, the burning department was far less powerful than more than a hundred years later, but Guan Hai also lost more than 300 horses in order to break the burning department that lacked men, and Yao Qianke had 5,000 horsemen to help Han Sui at this time.

It's just that Jia Xu guarded earlier, and when Yao Qianke led the army to the outside of the city, he was identified by the Qiang people, and first killed and burned the entire clan at the head of the city, and then sent Huya and Xiaoqi to charge the battle, after two charges, Guo Shixiao's army Marquis Wei Yan beheaded Yao Qianke, and the rest of the Qiang were defeated, and Han Sui sent the 20,000 Han troops to help the battle to watch the battle and hesitate.

After the death of the Yao Qian Ke clan, it was no longer advisable to make the city of Lingju, and more and more people fled and asked to leave in the Qiang Qi horse, and most of them rushed to Lingju to ask for surrender, and begged for the safety of the old and young women and children of the department, and the tribe was not attacked and captured by the Huya Army, so they fled home directly.

Whoever came to ask for surrender, Jia Xu ordered him and other troops to move to Tianshui and Anding two counties to settle down, and was subject to the policy of Sizhou to govern the Qiang, but before leaving, he still had to spread the old knowledge of the Qiang people under Han Sui's command.

Under this equal strategy, Han Sui couldn't stop it at all, in order to avoid being hated, but when Qiang rode to ask him to leave, he still had to say good words to see him off, and after Yao Qianke was beheaded, half a month later, Qiang Qi rode away seven or eight out of ten.

The Qiang Qi cavalry was scattered, the Han army was panicked, and some people began to look for opportunities to flee to Lingju to surrender, the more the situation dragged on, the more embarrassing it became, there was no Qiang Di protection, I was afraid that the heroes in the Han army would have a different mind, and seek to get Han Sui's head to make the step of the body, Cheng Gongying said to Han Sui: "It's urgent!" Today, Qiang is afraid, the Han army has a different heart, the Sizhou soldiers are difficult to fight, Xiliang is no longer possible, the public wants to avoid its harm, it is better to surrender! ”

Han Sui was silent for a while, and then said: "We have become enemies with Sizhou several battles, and Deng Mu is intolerable!" Although Qiang Di is scattered, the Han army still has 30,000, or it can be based on the city and fight, to the point that it can not defend the city, how about surrendering again? ”

Cheng Gongying said: "Although the Han army is numerous, it has no will to fight, it is difficult to compare with the unity of Sizhou, and the soldiers are strong, how can there be a chance of victory?" Jia Wenhe has not started the war for a long time, and he spares the lives of his soldiers! At this time, Sizhou had to use the public in order to calm the hearts of the people; If the city is lost and then surrendered, Deng Ji's angry soldiers will be damaged, and it will be difficult to survive! ”

Han Sui hesitated, and Cheng Gongying said again: "It's better to send an envoy to ask Yan Yanming, although he abandoned the referendum Deng, he still misses the old friendship, so he won't harm the public!" ”

Han Sui responded at this time, and sent a secret envoy to Lingju to ask to see Yan Xing, and said: "Han Gong wants to surrender, but I am afraid that General Deng will not tolerate it, but Yan Yanming can see it?" ”

Yan Xingzheng said: "Han Gong is the old master, although he does not dare to show favoritism in military affairs, but if he descends to Sizhou, he should protect his life with his life." ”

Then let the messenger wait for a while, Yan Xing went to Jia Xu to ask for a meeting, and told Han Sui that he wanted to surrender, and he was afraid that Deng Ji would be intolerable, Jia Xu was overjoyed and said: "Xiliang will have to calm this chaos, and it will take several years to get the great governance, and there are many Qiang, it is difficult to accept for a while, Han Gong is known as a prestige in Qiang, and the rule of foreign races is justified in his name, if he wishes to surrender, he is scheduled to protect in front of the lord!" ”

Yan Xing told the messenger of Jia Xuyu, and the messenger returned and conveyed it to Han Sui.

Han Sui and Cheng Gong Yingcai went to Lingju to surrender. It's just that among the 30,000 local heroes in Jincheng, Zhangye, Jiuquan and other places who rebelled against the Han army, and those who were unwilling to follow the policy of the fourth-class people in Sizhou, they scattered as many as 10,000 people, and many whole clans migrated westward.

Before Han Sui lost Jincheng and had no choice but to surrender to Cheng Yi of Koyi, and after the destruction of Koji Yi returned to Han Sui, he was unwilling to descend to Sizhou at this time, and led hundreds of people to the west to be horse thieves, and then killed by the Qiang people.

Jia Xu obtained the Han army led by Han Sui, and ordered all the soldiers who could be used among them to get 2,000 people, and the rest could only be divided into counties for the people.

At this time, the Liangzhou rebellion caused by Han Sui and Ma Chao finally had to be temporarily pacified, Jia Xu temporarily stayed in the Huya army to guard Jincheng, and the Xiao cavalry army to guard Wuwei, and sent Guo Yuan's troops back to Duling, and returned to Luoyang with Che Huangxiao, Yan Xingbu, Zhao Zhao Ministry, Pang De Ministry, Yang Qiubu, Han Sui, Cheng Gongying, etc.

Jia Xu was still on the way back, Deng Ji had already asked to return to the north of Nanyang County, only Jian Yong also led the big families of Nanyang and the sergeant's family to gather in Shunyang, and waited for Liu Bei to send ships to Shangyong and Hanzhong one after another.

Xiliang chaos, Deng Ji defeated several enemies in a row, newly added Jincheng, Xiping, Nanyang Zhudi, even the Son of Heaven has to be crowned king, Jian'an four years of autumn and winter season, Sizhou up and down are jubilant.
