Fa Zheng glanced around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Although there was a betrayal, I still believe that the blood of the descendants of the three seedlings is not lost, since you swear in the name of Baishi, I believe you."

The Xiliang army is rampant, it is already a rebel army of the Han Dynasty, for the sake of the Xiqiang grassland, my lord Liu Zhang will set up the Xiqiang Alliance in Xiqiang, and the station will be selected in the original Lingqiang grassland, changed to the East Qingyi grassland, and the twelve departments of the Xiqiang are all included in the covenant.

Each tribe, according to the total number of warriors, must draw out two percent of the males between the ages of fifteen and twenty-eight to supplement into the alliance, under the unified command of the head of the East Tsing Yi Alliance, and then need to draw one percent every year to resist the Xiliang army and defend the Xiqiang grassland with the Sichuan army. ”

"Huh?" The leaders of the West Qiang looked at each other and exchanged their heads.

"We have sworn that we will never betray our alliance, so why should we draw our warriors?" A Qiang leader shouted.

"Since you have an alliance, is it empty talk?" Fa Zheng looked at the leader and said, "We are willing to believe your oath, but you should know that you have already broken your empty promises, and we do not intend to pursue them, but you should not forget."

East Tsing Yi grassland, facing Xiliang, if the Xiliang army wants to invade Xiqiang, it will bear the brunt, since the alliance, it is the alliance to resist the enemy, and all the tribes of Xiqiang must follow the expedition.

But just with the expedition, among you, it is inevitable that there will be people at both ends of the first rat, who want to vote for Xiliang and betray the Qiang Department, so what can you do? The dispatch of warriors is to defend the tranquility of Xiqiang, so that all departments can graze, worship, and survive with peace of mind. ”

Fa Zheng's eyes looked at the leaders like a knife, without the slightest intention of giving in. Let's do it first. Now who in the Xiqiang tribe does not know that the old and weak of the first Lingqiang have been killed. What is left behind are a group of women who are terrified and do not know where to go, if they return to Xiqiang now, before returning to Xiqiang, the tribe will be washed in blood.

Moreover, unless these Qiang tribes are all united, they will not be able to compete with the combined forces of the Sichuan Army and the Tsing Yi Qiang at all.

It is unwilling to contribute warriors in vain, but the leaders have no choice at all. I can only regret that I was bewitched by Han Sui, tore up the alliance with the Sichuan army, and came to Hanzhong, thinking that I could pick some cheap, but I didn't expect to fall into the dilemma now.

"Has no one quit? Give you one last chance. Fa Zheng looked at the leaders.

"Well, since you haven't left, it means that you have agreed, and your warriors are basically here, Huang Zhong."

"Yes."

"The warriors who accept the Qiang into the alliance."

"Yes." Huang Zhong lifted his sword and descended.

Zhu Qiang reluctantly selected warriors, and each part drew one-fifth. About 10,000 horsemen, plus the cavalry of the original Sichuan army. With the surrender of Lingqiang, the garrison of the East Tsing Yi and West Qiang Alliance will reach more than 50,000, which is almost equivalent to the sum of the West Qiang tribes except Tsing Yi Qiang, and it is far stronger than the Tsing Yi Qiang after the decline.

All the tribes involuntarily drew out more warriors from the small tribes in their own departments, which caused great dissatisfaction among the small tribes, Fa Zheng saw it in his eyes, but did not say anything, the greater the contradiction between the Xiqiang tribes, the better the alliance would be maintained.

In the evening, the Xiqiang tribes had already selected warriors, and Huang Zhong was unified and dispersed, mixed with the cavalry of the Sichuan army, and no longer used the tribal franchise system, but the military system of the Han army, and brought these cavalry into control.

At the same time, the Qiang cavalry read out to these Qiang cavalry the treatment of the alien army, as long as they abide by military discipline and have the same status as the Han army, any rejection of the alien army will be severely punished, and the alien army and the Han army enjoy the same title, Yulu, if killed in battle, disabled, also enjoy post-war treatment.

After hearing this, there was the Wuxi Barbarian Army as an example, and those Qiang soldiers who were forced to join the Sichuan Army felt a little better, and the biggest temptation to give these Qiang soldiers was that they could still return to the grassland, but move into the East Tsing Yi Alliance station.

Where tens of thousands of Xianlingqiang women await them, they can start a family and live their former nomadic life.

In the era of polygamy in ancient times, it was difficult for the poor Han people to marry wives, and the same was true for the Qiang people, who could only balance men and women after the death of some men in war.

Ordinary Qiang people, like poor Han people, dream of marrying a wife, where there is a wife, where is home.

The Sichuan army not only gave them equal status, the Han soldiers were treated as a man, and they got rid of the previous army that they could only rely on grabbing supplies, and in the event of a famine, they also had the strong backing of Sichuan and Shu, and also gave them wives and continued to live a nomadic life, and the resistance of the Qiang people was reduced by half, and some even began to look forward to the future life.

After the warriors were dispatched, Fa Zheng summoned the sullen leaders of the Xiqiang tribes, and said to the leaders: "Thank you for focusing on the Xiqiang grassland, I know that everyone is unhappy now, but I assure you that as long as the Xiqiang Alliance is there, the Xiliang army will not want to set foot in the Xiqiang grassland."

In addition, my lord Liu Zhang has issued a decree to the Xiqiang tribes, Yang Ren, read. ”

Yang Ren took a step forward and read aloud to the leaders the Xiqiang decree drafted by Wang Xu, including the division of the heads of the tribes as earls, the gift of Han seal letters, the gift of gorgeous costumes and battle clothes to the leaders, a large number of gold and silver rewards, etc., and Tsing Yi Qiang, when they heard that the Sichuan army was going to open a mutual market for trade, all the leaders were happy.

And what surprised them even more was still to come, the Sichuan army would give a large number of rare gifts to these leaders and leaders for free, as a thank you gift for friends, without any return, including gold and silver, colorful clothes, silk, precious white porcelain, jade belts, and Xianlingqiang beauties.

After the opening of the mutual market, all the friends of the Sichuan army, that is, the leaders and leaders who were divided into titles, as long as they brought animal skins, wild meat, herbs, etc., could be purchased at a higher price than the ordinary Qiang people, and the salt and iron would be sold cheaper.

Their children not only have the right to add points to the four imperial examinations, but also enjoy the right to automatically inherit the title, whether in Xiqiang or Han, their children have a great future.

After hearing these decrees, all the leaders of the Qiang people were overjoyed, and began to be swept away by the haze of the dispatch of warriors, compared to the establishment of a mutual market specifically for the Qiang people, and give them the power to distribute wealth, blessing the children of the shade, this is nothing, not to mention the dispatch of warriors, but also for them to resist the invasion of the powerful Xiliang army in the northeast.

Now the future is very clear, and I used to return to Xiliang. There are only three things to do. First. With the expedition, where the Xiliang army fights, where the Qiang people fight, second, robbery, you can only get a little benefit from robbery, third, when Xiliang people want to build a building. The Qiang people in the Han region are not enough, and they will also recruit people from the Xiqiang grassland, and they have to start with, in the eyes of the Xiliang people, the Qiang people are completely slaves.

The return to the Sichuan army is very different, and there is also the obligation to be conscripted, but the treatment is the same as that of the regular soldiers of the Sichuan army, they can receive military salaries, grain and grass supplies, and they can also trade salt and iron with Sichuan and Shu, so that the tribe can live a good life.

Regardless of whether these Qiang leaders are selfish or not. The Sichuan army gave them gifts and gave them the power to distribute wealth and the development of their children. No matter how you look at it, it's not a bad thing.

Not to mention those who are selfish, those selfless leaders and leaders will also think that after they have the power to distribute wealth, they will benefit the Qiang people in their territory, as for their children, the Han people all hope that their sons will become dragons, and the Qiang people are also people, who would want their children to be unproductive?

Compared with the Sichuan army and the Xiliang army, there is no doubt that there is a world of difference, in addition to the selection of warriors, Liu Zhang is simply a good man, thinking about the Qiang people everywhere, as if the prosperity of Xiqiang is Liu Zhang's unshirkable responsibility.

The original depression of the leaders of the Qiang people disappeared for the most part, and they all felt that Liu Zhang was different from the legend, he should be ruthless enough to the enemy, just like Lingqiang first, killing everything, but he was honest with friends, such as them.

With this thought, the leaders dispelled the idea of betraying the Sichuan army.

After Chen Cang's army, the cavalry of the Sichuan army expanded to nearly 30,000, and tens of thousands of Qiang cavalry marched towards Tianshui.

At this time, the 10,000 cavalry led by Liu Zhang and the 20,000 cavalry led by Xi Fengchi had reached 50 miles away from Tianshui.

"Report, there are soldiers and horses fighting ahead, and one side is fleeing in the direction of our army." A soldier came to report.

"Could it be that Fa Zheng arrived in Tianshui so soon?" Liu Zhang frowned and raised his eyebrows, and a group of infantry fled towards his side in embarrassment, and then, the sound of horses' hooves behind sounded, and about 3,000 horsemen appeared in the field of vision.

Liu Zhang saw clearly that a woman was dressed in green, his heart jumped, and he immediately ordered: "The whole army is reorganized and ready to assault." ”

The running infantry, Guan Yinping saw that the pursuers were coming, and shouted to Wei Yan: "General Wei, you are the general of the Sichuan army, I am the queen of your palace, you go quickly." ”

In the battle of the slope, after Wei Yan killed the three generals to stabilize the army's heart, he discharged a formation full of loopholes, there was no escort on the two wings, and Guan Yinping's school knife hand was the head, only the Chinese army, as long as the Xiliang army broke through from the two wings, the five thousand Sichuan army would be annihilated.

Wei Yan is taking extreme risks to survive, if the normal formation is discharged, the weak Sichuan army will never be the opponent of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Xiliang, if he goes all out to defend the Chinese army, there is still a glimmer of life.

Wei Yan's gamble is that the Xiliang army does not dare to break through the two wings, this is an empty city plan.

At the beginning of the Chengdu Shizu rebellion, the rebels deliberately loosened the right flank, leading Zhang Ren to attack, Wei Yan and Zhou Budo both guessed that the Shizu had ambushes, so they did not dare to attack, and later, the Shizu really had reinforcements from Shen Tan Shenyi.

And this time, Wei Yan didn't have reinforcements at all, but after putting out this formation, it immediately made the Xiliang army suspicious, there are too many examples of the Sichuan army highlighting cavalry, from the Battle of Fucheng to the Battle of Xiqiang, almost all of them are won by surprise soldiers.

In this way, it intensified the tension of the Xiliang army, and it did not dare to easily divide the troops to the two wings of the Sichuan army, and also strictly defended the rear army to prevent the "surprise soldiers" of the Sichuan army from breaking in.

The pressure on the Sichuan army was greatly reduced, and finally after the bloody battle, a bloody way was fought and the encirclement of the Xiliang army was escaped.

When the Xiliang army learned that Wei Yan had no reinforcements at all, they were furious and pursued the Sichuan army.

The speed of the Xiliang cavalry was too fast, and the Sichuan army had no one available, so Guan Yinping had to be the queen in person.

Wei Yan said: "You are a friend of the lord, I am a general, and I should come to the palace." ”

"General Wei, do you think the lord cares more about friends or generals? And I am also a general of the Sichuan army, and General Wei will go by himself, and to deal with the cavalry, he can only use the school knife hand. ”

Wei Yan glanced at Guan Yinping, indecisiveness was not his character, nodded his head, and was about to lead the troops to leave, when suddenly the sound of horses' hooves sounded in front, and the black cavalry group covered it head-on, like an earthquake, and the Sichuan infantry thought it was the Xiliang cavalry attack, and they changed color one after another.

Hu Che'er Pang Rou stayed in the Xianlingqiang grassland, Wang Shuang, the leading general of the Sichuan army, Wei Yan had never seen it, and thought it was really the Xiliang army, so many troops, even if he was Han Xin alive, there was nothing he could do.

I only thought in my heart, I didn't expect that after spending so much effort, I still couldn't avoid death, no matter what, the small-scale war of Bailongjiang, Jiangling, Chengdu, Yangpingguan, and Tianshui was enough to leave a name in history, and it was not in vain to be ambitious.

However, he was still unwilling, Wei Yan thought to himself, closed his eyes, and the sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer in his ears, but he did not break through.

The cavalry bypassed Wei Yan and Guan Yinping's infantry, and killed the Xiliang cavalry pursuing behind, 30,000 against 3,000, and the Xiliang army was drowned in the cavalry torrent.

At this time, Guan Yinping saw Liu Zhang, who was galloping behind him, and was immediately overjoyed, and said in a trembling voice: "General Wei, look, it's the lord." "After fighting death in Tianshui for so long, she was finally relieved, this was Guan Yinping's first independent leader, and it was a death mission, a fourteen-year-old girl was under great pressure, and she couldn't help but shed tears.

Wei Yan's joy disappeared in a flash, and he strode towards Liu Zhang and bowed to Liu Zhang.

"All alive, okay." Liu Zhang only said one sentence, and the soldiers behind him divided their war horses to Wei Yanguan Yinping, and after accompanying the army, the whole army continued to drive towards Tianshui.

The 200,000 defeated army of the Western Liang army began to disperse in the north of Chencang, the warlords of Guanzhong to the east, the warlords of Xiliang to the north, Liu Zhang's army arrived in Tianshui, just as the Xiliang army was defeated, and the slaughter was for a while, and the chaotic Xiliang army fled in the direction of Liangzhou, Liu Zhang and Fa Zheng joined forces, with a total strength of 100,000.

100,000 troops knocked on the gate of Tianshui City, the defenders of Tianshui City surrendered without a fight, the Sichuan army entered Tianshui, Liu Zhang issued an order, all the wealthy families in Tianshui County, immediately send people to meet them, otherwise the counties will be washed in blood.

Unless they are willing to give up their ancestral land and escape, the Sichuan barbarians will start killing, and they will have to be wiped out, and the Jiang family and other wealthy families have to go to Tianshui to visit Liu Zhang.

In the eyes of the world, Liu Zhang's biggest impression is cruelty, but his faith is outstanding, and what he said still counts, and the wealthy bigwigs believe that Liu Zhang will not detain him in Tianshui City.

The wealthy families came one after another, but Liu Zhang did not meet them immediately, and the patriarchs and elders of the wealthy families were in a panic all day long.

"Ma Teng is dead?" Liu Zhang asked Fa Zheng in surprise, Hanzhong and Xiqiang transmitted information, only saying that Tielong Pass was a big victory, but did not say that Ma Teng was killed, Liu Zhang was also taken aback when he heard the news.

"Did our men kill it?"

Fa Zheng shook his head: "It is said to be Han Sui." (To be continued.) )
