At the end of October, the spies had already inquired about the news from all sides, but most of the horse thieves were Qiang, and they were used to living immediately, and they were bandits, and they couldn't find each other's lair, so Han Jin spent a few days privately and thought of a way. Lead the snake out of the hole and catch it all.

Outside the west city of Ji County, the military flag blown by the fierce cold wind sounded slightly.

On a high ground directly in front of him, Han Jin and the generals of the army looked at the three thousand cavalry below, one color of black armor, and three thousand people were riding neatly on their horses, staring at the general platform. There is eagerness, anxiety, and confusion in the eyes.

Han Jin had a solemn face, dressed in silver-white armor and a white cloak, and behind him were several generals in the army, Pang De, Huang Zhong, Guan Hai, Han Qi and Tie Yin.

Taking a deep breath, Han Jin took two steps forward and said loudly, "Soldiers! My brothers! In your eyes, I see the fear that also occupies my heart. When we lose our courage; When we abandon our friends, our friendships are gone, and our end will come. But, that won't be now! At the moment, we are fighting against the water! For all that you have cherished and owned in this wonderful land, for our friends, brothers, I ask you, my brothers, to fight hard! ”

"Revenge! Avenge! ……”

The soldiers were enthusiastic when they heard this, and they only felt a surge of blood, and there was no shortage of tragic and triumphant men in the north.

Although Han Jin's words are plain, he is sincere.

He knew that his qualifications were mediocre, he had no great talent, no strategy, the wisdom to win a decisive victory thousands of miles away, and he did not have the strength to bravely champion the three armies.

In this era, if you want to establish a great achievement, in addition to some advanced insights, some can only treat people with sincerity and exchange hearts for hearts.

Seeing the glamour of the soldiers sweeping away, a few people behind him also nodded secretly.

stepped on a fiery Xiliang horse, and waved the big knife in his hand. A black tide flowed into the distance with the justice of defending the brothers.

Han Jin's army rushed all the way, and because it was cavalry, it rushed to Wushan County in the afternoon.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hanyang County, Longxi County and other places were inhabited by many Qiang people. In this area, some Qiang people do not accept the king, and there are corrupt officials and corrupt officials who expropriate huge profits, and the Qiang people's original surname is barbaric, and there are often murders and rebellions.

In recent years, the strength of the government has been greatly weakened. It is even more rampant that the Qiang people are rampant. Ten of the horse thieves are the best of them.

The Western Han Dynasty set up a capital lieutenant and a subject state governor to rule the Qiang people. By the time of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the area under the jurisdiction of Dingxi City was all a place where the Qiang and Han people lived together, and the rulers of the Eastern Han Dynasty migrated the Qiang people in Longxi County, Hanyang County, and Wudu County, so that they could turn their pastures into farmers, and they were called "Tunqiang".

Due to the racial discrimination and cruel oppression of the Qiang people by the local corrupt officials and powerful landlords, as well as the suppression of the Qiang people by the "Qiang Guard", the Qiang people "accumulated grievances" and "thought of misfortune in anger" (The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of the Western Qiang).

As early as the fifth year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (112 BC), the Xiongnu and Huangshui area of the Xianlingqiang combined 100,000 troops, attacking Lingju (now Yongdeng northwest), Angu (now Lintaonan) and Paohan (now Linxia), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent the generals Li Xi and Langzhong to order Xu Zi to lead 100,000 infantry and cavalry levied by Longxi, Tianshui and other counties to pacify. In the autumn of the second year of Emperor Yongguang of the Han Yuan Dynasty (42 BC), the right general Feng Fengshi defeated the Qiang army in Longxi County.

After that, until the fourth year of Yongchu of the Eastern Han Dynasty (110 years), the Qiang-Han War occurred from time to time in the two counties of Longxi and Hanyang.

From the fifth year of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the first year of the Yuan Dynasty (111-114), the first major uprising of the Qiang people broke out, and the Qiang soldiers controlled the traffic arteries of Longxi County, forcing the Eastern Han Dynasty to move Longxi County to Xiangwu County, and the people of Longxi County were forcibly moved to Xiangwu County by the Eastern Han Dynasty political axe (now the border area of Longxi, Tongwei and Anding District), which caused strong dissatisfaction among the Han people, and some Han people also joined the Qiang people who revolted.

The Qiang uprising lasted for ten years, the Eastern Han Dynasty spent more than 1.4 billion yuan in military spending, the people in the war zone suffered countless casualties, the economy of the Longzhong region was greatly damaged, and the people suffered unspeakably.

The second uprising of the Qiang people also spread to Longxi County. In the fifth year of Yonghe (140 years), Longxi County was captured by the Eastern and Western Qiang coalition forces Gong Tang Qiang. In the first year of Yongjia (145), the Han Dynasty recruited more than 50,000 Qiang households, and the Longyou military came to an end.

The Qiang uprising lasted for seven years, and the Eastern Han Dynasty spent more than 8 billion yuan in military spending, and the Qiang and Han people once again suffered great disasters.

In the second year of Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty (159 years), the Han Dynasty took Duan Ying as the captain of the Qiang school, and the Qiang people rebelled, and the imperial court sent Huangfu Gui as the Zhonglang general, and the Huangfu Gui rectified the rule of officials, and played the "disgraced" stability Taishou Sun Jun, "more kills and descended to Qiang", and Li Xi, the subject state captain, etc., so that the Qiang people were moved, and Liangzhou was restored. Later, he was transferred by the imperial court because the eunuchs and others falsely accused the emperor of "bribing the Qunqiang". In the sixth year of Yanxi (163), the Eastern Han Dynasty took Duan Ying as the captain of the Qiang Protector, and Duan Ying brutally suppressed the rebellious Qiang people, forcing the Qiang people of Longxi County and Jincheng County to revolt again, and the Qiang people of Liangzhou rose up in response. In the second year of Emperor Ling's reign (169).

Duan Ying pursued and killed the Qiang people who avoided in the valley of Hanyang County (now Gangu, Wushan, and Tongwei), and then killed more than 10,000 Qiang people in the Tiger Valley, and the imperial court sent Feng Chan to settle more than 4,000 Qiang people who surrendered in Anding, Hanyang, and Longxi counties.

Wushan has a long history, splendid culture, and is very rich in historical relics. Wushan is named after Wucheng Mountain in the south of the city, and since ancient times, it has been a strategic place for soldiers to fight.

Iron cage mountain is the remaining vein of Minshan in Wushan, more than 60 miles away from the county seat, the mountain is upright, majestic and dangerous, has a unique strategic position in ancient times, can be attacked if you advance, you can defend when you retreat, it can really be said that "a husband is angry at the pass, a million can not be pong".

The secret agents in the army have already found out that the robbers are vicious in the Wushan area. The leader of the bandits is none other than Qiang people and horses. His surname was murderous, and more than 2,000 people under his command were not afraid of death, and the local officials had neither the strength nor the courage to exterminate them.

I had to pretend to earn one eye and close one eye. came and went, but it boosted Ma Tianhou's courage, and his power gradually increased, often plundering the Han people, and the people were miserable.

……

In the evening, Wushan County Ya.

"Jin'er, can you really do this plan? What if I find out? Huang Zhong looked worried.

"Master, don't worry! It's just a gang of bandits who can't make the climate, I have already made it clear to others, this Ma Tianhou is brutal, eager for success and profit, greedy for money and lustful, only because of some bravery, he was promoted to be the leader, and he will never see through it, even if he has seen through it, is my regular army of more than 3,000 people still afraid of them? ”

Han Jin comforted with tea.

In his heart, he didn't have any information about the thief, he didn't think he was a big man, and he didn't take his opponent seriously.

……

There are no clouds, and it is scorching.

The north of Minshan Mountain is composed of Huaergai Mountain, Guanggai Mountain, Dieshan Mountain, Guma Mountain, etc.

To the north of the Iron Cage Mountain, there is a flat river. The land here is barren and sparsely populated, and few people come here in normal times. However, under the scorching sun, there was a group of people, all of whom were haggard and dusty. The leader is a bearded man.

Perhaps because he was tired, he seemed a little lacking in interest at this time. Stopped, looked up and forgot to glance at the sky, the sun shining down, piercing his eyes dark.

Hurriedly lowered his head, closed his eyes for a while, turned his head to look at the long line of convoys behind him, and said, "This dog is going to take grandpa's life." These eight lambs don't know when they will come out.

Hum! When I catch you, see that grandpa doesn't pull out your skin and pulls your tendons. ”

It turned out that this group of people was the army athletes led by Guan Hai, because the whereabouts of the horse thieves were uncertain, and Han Jin had made a plan to lure the snake out of the hole as soon as the Han army set off. It is to take advantage of the greed of thieves to lure them to plunder, so that the army will go straight out.

Chop the grass and eradicate the roots. Clean sweep.

It's just that they don't know that while they are designing others, a big net is also buckled down on them.

……

In a manor in the northwest of Wushan County, Ma Tianhou looked at the scholar opposite, laughed, and said: "How is the gentleman becoming more and more timid, the more than 2,000 good horses plundered in one fell swoop last time have greatly strengthened the strength of the brothers. This time, the meat is delivered to the door, why don't you eat it? ”

The man dressed in literature and history suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at Ma Tianhou, his eyes full of contempt.

This pig really doesn't know whether to live or die, and since you want to die, how can I not fulfill you? But since we've made an agreement, I'm here to help you!

"The leader has forgotten the other party's 3,000 cavalry, and he dares to assert that this is a plan by the officers and soldiers to lure the snake out of the hole, and I hope the leader will think twice."
