Jincheng County Zhiyunwu, the squires of this county under the leadership of Taishou Chen Yi, holding wine and meat to work the army, Liu Xiu hurried to Jincheng County, only on the side of the road to let the soldiers eat some alone, and then hurriedly left. Straddled the horse, and was about to urge the horse forward, suddenly turned his head and looked into the noisy crowd.

Seeing that Liu Xiushen was different, Pang De and Hao Zhao hurriedly came over and protected him from left to right. Wang Zhi twisted his body and protected Liu Xiu's back.

Liu Xiu stopped them, kicked the horse's belly, and shouted: "Go!" ”

Hao Zhao and the others were surprised, but they didn't ask, and followed Liu Xiu forward. Xu Yu glanced over here and saw that Liu Xiu didn't give him any orders, and he didn't ask again. The army passed in front of Chen Yi and the others in turn, turned a hillside, and gradually disappeared into the mountains.

Chen Yi took the officials back to the city, and the onlookers and squires dispersed one by one, talking to each other about the legendary story of General Wei entering Jincheng County with a battalion of 3,000 guards, defeating nearly 10,000 Qianghu, and rescuing the Kojijia Fort, and went home happily.

A handsome young man was caught in the crowd, listened to all kinds of rumors that were difficult to distinguish between true and false, slowly entered the city, separated from the crowd at the city gate, made a few turns, turned into an alley, stopped in front of an inconspicuous courtyard, looked around and saw that there was no one around, suddenly got up, jumped over the wall of a person high, and jumped into the courtyard.

"What people!" With a low shout, a young man in the same dress rushed out with a sword, and when he saw the people in the courtyard, he immediately stopped his steps: "Senior Sister Lan, you are back." ”

"Senior sister, is Master in a hurry?" The young man laughed and took off his hat. Trembling, his hair fell like a waterfall and green silk. If Liu Xiu could definitely recognize it here, this was Lan Lan, a female disciple of Taiping Dao who had served him for a few months, and the other was her fellow senior sister Yang Feng.

"Alain is back?" A deep baritone came from the room, it was the voice of Zhang Ming, the Taiping Dao Earthquake Envoy. Lan Lan didn't dare to slack off and entered the house. Led the door and saluted Zhang Mingji: "Master, I'm back." ”

"See Liu Xiu?"

"See." Lan Lan said, "Not only did I see Liu Xiu, but I also saw Liyi and Li Wenhou. ”

"Li Wenhou?" Zhang Ming sneered. "The Qiang people are really unreliable, first there is the Heavenly Wolf, and then there is Li Wenhou."

Lan Lan was silent, and Yang Feng didn't dare to say anything, they all knew that Zhang Ming was in a bad mood now. Don't dare to talk casually. Zhang Ming preached in Luoyang. After having a bad relationship with Liu Xiu, he was transferred back from Luoyang by Zhang Jiao, gave up the position of the divine envoy to Ma Qiang, and was left out in the cold in Jizhou for several years. This time, he was sent to Liangzhou to atone for his sins, and it was going very well, and he used his heart-destroying spell to subdue Bian Zhang and the kingdom. also subdued Zhong Dian, Tianwolf and other Qiang people, and successfully set off a huge wave in Liangzhou. It can be regarded as a successful completion of the task arranged by Zhang Jiao. I never thought that they went to Tangshu Mountain. After returning, the situation in Liangzhou has been reversed beyond recognition.

Nie Xiao died, the wolf and Li Wenhou surrendered, Zhong Qiang Jingrui hurried back to Yugu, Liu Xiu took the three thousand guards battalion as if into a no-man's land, and now he is going to Jincheng to attack the Qiang people and rescue the Han family. Although the Qiang people said that there were still thirty or forty thousand people, but those people were mainly foot soldiers, and their combat effectiveness was low, and the rout was expected.

At this time, it is strange that Zhang Ming's mood can be good.

"Master, Liu Xiu is very appreciative, I just glanced at him just now, and I was almost discovered by him." Lan Lan said what happened just now, "I'm afraid it's difficult to do the assassination." ”

Zhang Ming frowned and was silent. He asked Lan Lan to observe Liu Xiu, just to see if there was a chance to assassinate, if the assassination was successful, then the situation in Liangzhou still had a chance to be saved. But he also knew that not only Liu Xiu himself was skilled in martial arts, but he also had masters like Xu Yu and Wang Zhi by his side, and it was not easy to assassinate Liu Xiu.

"Master, I think we should inform Zhong Dian as soon as possible, the assassination strategy is not feasible until it is absolutely necessary." A young woman who was also dressed as a man walked in with a few things to eat: "Although Liu Xiu has pacified Jincheng, as long as Zhong Qiang is not convinced, it is impossible for Liangzhou to have a long-term peace." If Liu Xiu can be trapped in Liangzhou for a few months, the task assigned by the great sage and good teacher has been completed. ”

Zhang Ming glanced at her, Yan Sè softened a little, picked up a piece of cake from the plate and put it in his mouth, chewing it slowly. "Feiyan, why do you say that?"

This woman is Zhang Ming's disciple Yu Yan, a good light body kung fu, nicknamed Feiyan. She is not only good at kung fu, but also loves military affairs, learns a lot and thinks well, and often has her own unique opinions. Hearing Zhang Ming's question, she laughed softly: "Liu Xiu is very flexible in using troops, but isn't Liangzhou Sanming a famous general?" His husband Duan Cheng pursued the Qiang for thousands of miles, fought hundreds of battles of all sizes, and killed tens of thousands of Qiang people, but are the Qiang people too peaceful? No.!. Why? Because the Qiang people can't be killed. ”

"Can't finish killing?" Yang Feng sneered. "Isn't it gone to zero Qiang first, and burned when Qiang is gone?"

"It's not that it's gone, it's just that these two tribes were crippled, and the rest of the people were swallowed up by other tribes, otherwise Zhong Qiang could become powerful so quickly?" Zhen Yan said quietly: "If the Qiang people win the battle, they will fight, and if they can't win, they will scatter into the mountains, recuperate, when the injury is healed, and when to come back." The Han people can't live in Liangzhou for a long time, even if they win, it's only temporary, it's to stop the boiling of soup, it's not to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, and it is impossible to completely solve the problem in Liangzhou. ”

"But that Zhuzi is now going to build a Qiang army and recruit Qiang people, if the Qiang people are appeased, why can't Liangzhou be pacified?"

"The Qiang people were cared for, and the entourage was recruited, there was a precedent, but it didn't make a reputation." Yu Yan shook her head, revealing a disapproving look: "I think that Liu Xiu has no benefit in doing this except for giving people a handle. ”

Zhang Ming raised his eyebrows and nodded.

"If the Qiang people want to survive, as long as their survival problem cannot be solved, the Qiang chaos will not stop. Liu Xiu wants to take Liangzhou as the foundation, but he will only fall deeper and deeper. In the past, Zhao Chongguo of the Han Dynasty began to appease the Qiang people, and who really solved the problem of the Qiang people, but it became more and more intense, and Liangzhou was eroded and could not be cleaned up. Liu Xiu's move is tantamount to throwing himself into a quagmire. When the time comes, he will either be demoted and dismissed due to the rebellion of the Qiang people, or he will be entangled in the Qiang rebellion and have no time to look east. Isn't the task assigned to the master by the great sage and good teacher already successfully completed? ”

Zhang Ming was thoughtful, chewing the cake slowly until he swallowed all the cakes. Only then did he clapped his hands: "The Great Sage and Good Master should have been launched at this moment?" ”

"According to the scheduled time, it should have been launched, but we are too far away, and Jincheng has been taken back by Liu Xiu, and we can't get the report from the imperial court. Nothing is known. ”

"In that case, then we don't have to stay here." Zhang Ming raised his head and said to Yu Yan with a smile: "Feiyan, you and Alan go to Yugu and tell Zhong Dian about the situation here." Let Liangzhou continue to be chaotic. Ah Feng and I rushed back first. The great sage and good teacher started an incident, and Youzhou is also an important town, so I think there may be something to do. ”

Zhen Yan bowed down to receive the order.

Liu Xiu unexpectedly killed him from the west, and also took Liyi and Li Wenhou with him, which surprised the Qiang people near Jincheng, and Liyi was just that. Li Wenhou was one of the leaders of the Qiang rebellion, and he surrendered to Liu Xiu. The shock to the Qiang people was far greater than Liu Xiu's sudden appearance to the west of Jincheng. The Qiang people couldn't figure out how Liu Xiu did it, and unexpectedly felt that Liu Xiu had the ability to be ghosts and gods. In the absence of Zhong Dian and the others, no one dared to confront Liu Xiu, and took the initiative to retreat thirty miles, avoiding Liu Xiu from a distance.

Liu Xiubing lifted the siege of Jincheng without blood, Han Sui's family was safe and sound, overjoyed, Han Sui's father, Han Wei, the head of the Han family, invited Liu Xiu into the Han family in a high-profile manner, set up a banquet to catch the wind, and invited the squire of Jincheng to accompany him. During the banquet, everyone naturally did not hesitate to flatter Liu Xiu, and when they saw Liyi and others, they also tried their best to praise them, but when they saw Li Wenhou, everyone tacitly kept a distance from him, although it was not very deliberate, but the innate unfamiliarity was obvious.

Yan Zhong, as a famous man in Liangzhou, is naturally very popular, but he does not forget his priorities because of this, and mentions from time to time that he is now engaged in Zhonglang in General Wei's Mansion. Yan Zhong, who was famous in Liangzhou, was willing to be a 600-stone Zhonglang in General Wei's Mansion, which made the heroes of Jincheng dare not underestimate Liu Xiu at all. Han Wei felt that he had a special face, when Han Sui and Bian Zhang were equally famous, Han Sui accepted Liu Xiu's summons, and when he went to the Northern Army to be a Sima, everyone was a little disapproving, thinking that Han Sui did not have the backbone of Bian Zhang, but now Feng Shui takes turns, Liu Xiu is a general of the guard, and even a famous man like Yan Zhong has entered the palace to be engaged in Zhonglang, Han Sui is already a heavy general under Liu Xiu, and the two thousand stone Yunzhong Taishou is higher than Yan Zhong's official, but Bian Zhang has become a prisoner.

Sometimes, the choice is very important, Han Sui chose Liu Xiu, and Bian Zhang chose to refuse, but in three or five years, the two people who were originally the same name are no longer the same. At this time, whoever wants to say that Liu Xiu has no development potential will only make people say that they have no vision.

Yan Zhong and Xun You have become the objects of everyone's currying favor.

After the banquet, Yan Zhong came to Liu Xiu's big tent and pushed a list in front of Liu Xiu: "General, this is someone who can be used in the future." ”

Liu Xiu took over and glanced at it, most of the people didn't know each other, it wasn't that they didn't have strength, it was because they weren't famous enough outside Liangzhou, so Liu Xiu hadn't heard of it.

"Thank you, sir, I will have the opportunity to reuse them one by one in the future." Liu Xiu carefully folded the list and put it away, then took a copy of the newspaper from the side and handed it to Yan Zhong, his hand paused, his eyes looked at Yan Zhong, and he didn't say anything. Yan Zhong was shocked, and his eyes, which were originally slightly drunk, suddenly brightened. He glanced at Liu Xiu, and quickly opened the newspaper to read it. The newspaper was not long, he read it quickly, closed his lips tightly, his eyes fell fixedly on the newspaper, and it took a long time before he slowly exhaled a long breath.

"The world is in chaos!"

Liu Xiu was silent, and his face was nothing. Di Bao is Xun Yu asked people to send him a fast horse, the content is very simple, Zhang Jiao in Shandong, the scale is huge, Yanyu Qing Xu Ji Jing Yangyou, eight states are rising, divided into 36 parties, each side is placed a canal handsome, the people are wrapped in yellow scarves, the slogan is "the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand!" "The Son of Heaven has sent the hussar general Dong Chongtong to the former general Yuan Shao, the left general Gongsun Zhan, the right general Huangfu Song, the state assassin history, the county Taishou to go to the expedition, Lu Zhi as the Zhonglang general, the five colonels of the Northern Army, with the hussar generals on the expedition.

This is similar to historical things, if there is a difference, it is probably just because it has not yet reached the year of Jiazi, so the eight characters of "the year is in Jiazi, the world is auspicious" are gone. Another difference is that the commander of the army has become the hussar general Dong Chong, and the original historical general He Jin is now only Henan Yin, an insignificant horn, but the originally insignificant Yuan Shao has become a former general. The soldiers pointed directly at Julu: the base camp of Zhang Jiao.

"The world is in chaos, why can Mr. teach me?"

Yan Zhong glanced at Liu Xiu, gently put down the newspaper, and laughed softly: "This is a small chaos, although the hussar general is incompetent, but Yuan Shao and Huangfu Song are not easy to match." The matter of coming to Shandong should soon be settled. However, this is the beginning, and if the general wants to gain a foothold in the following troubled times, he must be prepared. ”

"How to prepare?"

"Based on Guanzhong, leaning on and cooling. Raise soldiers and accumulate food, and wait and see what happens. ”

"Please sir elaborate."

Yan Zhong did not rush to speak, but picked up the copper kettle from the fire pit, poured two cups of tea, and handed one to Liu Xiu. I took a sip of a cup by myself. Only then did he open his mouth unhurriedly. He is a native of Liangzhou, he is familiar with the situation in Liangzhou, and there are no rules and regulations to be loyal to the Han Dynasty, so he can speak much more directly, and he is to the point.

"My lord, although Liangzhou is not as rich as the Central Plains. But the horses are strong, and the Qiang people are fierce and good at fighting. As long as you drive it, 100,000 Jing soldiers are at your fingertips. The Han people of Liangzhou are not inferior to the Qiang people. There are many talents who are both civil and military, and there are many famous generals, compared with those who sit and talk about it in the Kanto region, the people of Liangzhou pay more attention to practical interests, and have fewer fetters, as long as the general treats them with sincerity, they will naturally repay them with death. At that time, Qin had conquered the world with the good fields of Guanzhong and the soldiers of Liangzhou, and now the general wants to save the building from the general and save the people from fire and water, so he must pay attention to one or two here. ”

"There are a lot of soldiers in the world, but whether it is secluded and cool, or Bashu Jingchu Danyang, it is a border land, and there is no rich township, why not? If you only have a thirst for food, you will not have the heart of hard fighting, and if you have the elegance of poetry and writing, you will not have a strong body. The general is a person from Youzhou, who started in Bingzhou, and now sits in Liangzhou. If you can get involved in Bashu and cooperate with the barbarians, then half of the world's Jing soldiers lie in the generals, Yanyu Qingxu, although it is called the world's anointing, but it is just a baggage supply prepared for the generals. ”

"The army has not moved, the grain and grass go first, even if there are millions of soldiers, there is no food, and they will collapse without a fight. Guanzhong is fertile for thousands of miles, the Qin people fought to conquer the world, the Han Dynasty enjoyed two hundred years of national fortune in Guanzhong, and now Guanzhong is in the hands of the general, with the general's new policy, as long as enough displaced people are recruited, within three or five years, the warehouse can be full of grain, for 100,000 troops to conquer all year round. ”

"Although Liangzhou lacks good land, but how good pastures, the Qin people rose in Tianshui, is to rely on raising horses for the industry, the Han family 36 pastoral gardens, most of them are in Liangzhou, if a few years of preparation, you can get 200,000 horses."

“……”

In the seemingly casual chatter, with the 800-mile Qinchuan in Guanzhong as the heart, relying on Liangzhou, recruiting troops and raising horses, just waiting for the time to be ripe, he waved eastward, and the grand blueprint that swept the world gradually revealed its prototype.

Liu Xiu listened quietly and took a sip of tea from time to time. Yan Zhong dipped his fingers in the tea, and the appearance of the plan to chase the world in the case reminded Liu Xiu of Zhuge Liang's plan for Liu Bei in Longzhong, and Lu Su plotted for Sun Quan in Jiangdong. Now that Liu Bei is still under his wings, Zhuge Liang is probably not born yet, and Lu Su is at most a little child, but Yan Zhong is doing the same for him.

Yan Zhong doesn't seem to have much reputation in history, but what he said is enough to show that there is never a shortage of thousands of horses in this world, and what is lacking is Bole. Even if you are He's Bi and can't meet Bian He, you are a stubborn stone, destined to drown in the long river of history, and have no chance to shine your own brilliance.

"What the gentleman said seems to be a bit serious." After Yan Zhong finished speaking, Liu Xiu shook his head hypocritically: "Since Mr. said that the Yellow Turban Rebellion will be quelled soon, then I should sit and wait for the news of Your Majesty's successful counterinsurgency, or wait for Your Majesty's edict and lead the army to the front line, where can I use such a careful plan." ”

Yan Zhong didn't break it, "General, but the foundation is moist and knows the rain, Ping moves and sees the wind, and the gentleman sees the opportunity to do it, how can he make a temporary plan when he is not budding?" Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion is easy to settle, the collapse of the world is difficult to solve, and the chaos is coming, how can the general wait for it? ”

"Don't hide it, sir, what I'm worried about is not the yellow scarf, what I'm worried about is my hard work to pacify Liangzhou, and I will be thought to support the army and be self-respecting. As Mr. said, and Liang are where the soldiers are, when I was in the state, some people were worried that I raised my own respect, and now in order to understand the predicament of Liangzhou, I want to build a Qiang army to separate the Qiang people, but I am afraid that the impeachment of me has been piled up with His Majesty's imperial case. In a few days, there will be a new history of Liangzhou assassination, and I can't say that I will go back to Luoyang to be a rich man. ”

"The general is relieved, not to mention that Liangzhou has not been pacified at this moment, even if it is pacified, who can solve the predicament of Liangzhou. The Qiang army was built to restrain the Qiang people. To govern Qiang with Qiang, this is a policy, such as disbanding the Qiang army, it is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain, releasing the dragon into the sea, and causing trouble. If anyone does this, even if the general can tolerate it, the people of Liangzhou will not tolerate it. ”

Liu Xiu smiled, Yan Zhong also smiled, and wiped his hands on the placket of his clothes. Raised the teacup and gestured to Liu Xiu. The two took a sip, and Yan Zhong said again: "The general sits in Guanzhong, leans on Liangzhou, and merges the state on the left, and his right hand cannot be empty." ”

"What do you mean, sir?"

"I think. So many places are in chaos. The people of Taiping Road have all come to Liangzhou, how can they not go to Yizhou? The general should be ready, Yizhou together, His Majesty may let the general enter Yizhou to quell the rebellion. Yizhou is mountainous, and there are many Qiang, which is not good for riding. Although the general's iron cavalry is brave, I am afraid it is useless. In the opinion of loyalty. The Qiang people were good at mountain warfare, and used the Qiang army to enter Yizhou to quell the rebellion. Justified use. ”

Liu Xiu nodded in agreement. Yizhou is mainly mountainous, and the cavalry cannot play a role, and the Qiang people who are good at mountain warfare are the usable soldiers. If you can take Yizhou into your hands, it will really be from Guanzhong, with your back to Liangzhou, with you on the left and Bashu on the right, looking down on the Central Plains, ready to go. The imperial army's army was all in Shandong to quell the rebellion, and he couldn't draw troops to Yizhou, which was a good time for him to enter Yizhou.

But he has concerns, although the yellow scarf is rising, there is still a period of time before the world is in turmoil, he is impatient to enter Yizhou now and expand his territory, will he become a bird? Yan Zhong is a wise man, and his countermeasures are indeed feasible, but if he is in a hurry to rebel, the timing is not right, and he will show his disobedience before waiting for the chaos in the world, he is afraid that he will die an ugly death.

Most of the first people in history to rise up and rebel were not the last to dominate the world. Before that, there was Chen Sheng, and there are countless examples after that, Yuan Shao Yuan is one of them, as the lord of Shandong, he responded to every call, and there was a posture that the world wanted to change his surname to Yuan, who had ever wanted to fight in Guandu, he became Cao Mengde's stepping stone. And Zhu Taizu is right, build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become the king, and the rafters will rot first. Yan Zhong is smart, and this point is still slightly lacking.

"It's a big thing, and it's going to be a big deal." Liu Xiu said quietly: "What we have to do now is to calm this Liangzhou first." ”

Yan Zhong nodded yes, and then said: "General, the seventh battalion of the Han Army in Liangzhou, now there is only one battalion of the Koji family, and the others can have targets?" ”

"I don't have a clear goal yet, I only have one basic idea, try to achieve a balance, and don't let one county dominate."

"The general is reasonable, and this matter will be handed over to Zhong." Yan Zhong took the initiative to ask.

Liu Xiu also felt that he was the best candidate, and it was more convenient for him to come forward than for him to come forward in person. "Then there's Mr. Law."

Yan Zhong smiled, he started to come to Jincheng, just to use his reputation to recruit Jincheng Haoqiang for Liu Xiu, but now he is just expanding this scope a little, which is still his purpose.

……

During the confrontation with the Qiang people, Liu Xiu sent someone to issue an order to Zhao Yun to attack and reported to Han Sui that he was safe. After Zhao Yun got the news, he immediately led the army to attack, and Xu Rong led Yang Ding, Huangfu Li and others in Anding County to fight together. The Qiang people have been confronting them for more than half a month, and they are already a little tired, feeling that they have the advantage of their forces, and they don't take the Han army too seriously.

Han Sui, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Xu Rong, none of them are easy to match, especially the generals from Bingzhou have been working together for a long time, they know each other well, cooperate tacitly, and leave no flaws for the Qiang people at all, and rush forward with the momentum of destroying and decaying, Lu Bu took Wei Yue and Cheng Lian, and liked to charge into battle the most, riding the red sè war horse that Liu Xiu gave him, like a blood sè lightning, galloping back and forth, the Qiang people were scared by them, every time they saw the war horse and Lu Bu's battle flag, they were flustered, and their legs trembled, As soon as the two sides came into contact, Lu Bu led people on a rampage, easily piercing the battle formation of the Qiang people, and the next thing was the pursuit battle.

Under the leadership of Xu Rong, Yang Ding and Huangfu Li are flexible and changeable, often wedged in the weakest position of the Qiang people, the timing is timely, the calculation is accurate, like divine help, after a few battles, Yang Ding and Huangfu Li both admired Xu Rong, a taciturn Youzhou person. To be continued.
