The so-called righteous Conghu refers to the Qiang Hu who are attached to the court, as a subordinate of the imperial court or someone's subordinate, and the entourage of the Qianghu, these people fight with the Han people all the year round, and the combat quality is the highest. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ!。 Speaking of which, Li Wenhou has fought with Zhang Huan, Duan Cheng and others for many years, and his reaction is not unpleasant, and he still relied on his instinct to fight for many years without any preparation, and made the most accurate response.

It's a pity that there was no rumor that there would be officials and soldiers here before this, let alone who came and how many troops there were, and the so-called preparation was just to adjust the direction of the attack and not let Liu Xiu directly hit his rear formation. In the face of the galloping three thousand iron horsemen, any reaction of Li Wenhou was fragile and vulnerable.

Three thousand iron horsemen, lined up in the shape of geese, rushed towards the Qiang people who had just turned around. On the left is the 1,000 Huns of Yu Fuluo, on the right is the 1,000 Heavenly Master Dao knights of Zhang Fei and Zhang Xiu, and in the middle is the Hushi camp of Liu Xiu and Xu Yu. Needless to say, Guan Yu, the heavy armor warrior governor, gave up his job again and took on a part-time job as a forward assault, taking the lead and invincible among the Qiang people.

The Qiang people shè out of the rain of arrows, the arrows shè in the iron armor, Ding dang, sparks straight up, but it was impossible to stop Guan Yu's charge at all at all, and a hundred heavy armor soldiers were like the sharpest arrows of flying arrows, and they entered the Qiang people array with indomitable progress. They wield their long-handled swords with both hands, slashing any creature within their range into minced meat. When the Qiang found that their iron armor was solid and their attacks were ineffective, they turned to attack their horses, and easily killed them at great sacrifices. However, they found that this group of heavy armor soldiers were three points stronger than the horses after dismounting, and they lined up in two rows one after another, staggering back and forth, towards a wall of steel. Slowly but resolutely pushed forward.

Guan Yu rushed to the front, his face hidden under the face armor, he couldn't see his expression, he only saw that every time the horse chopping sword in his hand was swung, it would take away one or two lives.

A hundred heavy armor soldiers crashed into the Qiang formation and rushed straight into Li Wenhou's Chinese army. Li Wenhou was inexplicably frightened, he commanded team after team of Qiang people to rush to intercept, but unfortunately no one could stop Guan Yu's sword. No one could stand in the way of the heavy armor. In a short period of time, the heavy armor warrior killed a hundred Qiang people and advanced thirty steps.

Guan Yu stopped, and crossed his sword in his right hand. Leaning back, he pushed up the face armor with his left hand, stroked his long hair, and stared at Li Wenhou who was ten steps away, his tongue blooming. shouted violently: "Qiang dog, don't descend at this time, but when!" ”

Li Wenhou was stupid and looked at Guan Yu like a god. Sweat like a pulp.

Just when Guan Yu shocked Li Wenhou with his pose, the knights on both wings had already defeated the Qiang people's resistance. Begin the pursuit. The Qiang were besieging the city, and almost no one was riding horses. In front of the iron cavalry of the Han army, they had no better way out except to fall to the ground and surrender, some people panicked, and actually ran to the city wall, holding their heads, shrinking under the city wall, looking at the galloping knights in horror, their hearts beating like rapid horses' hooves.

Koji Yi was surprised and delighted, he guessed that it was the official army that came, but he never expected that it was Liu Xiu who came, looking at the battle flag that replaced Li Wenhou, and the Vermilion Bird battle flag dancing in the command car, Koji Yi's blood boiled, and he yelled: "Open the door and greet General Wei!" ”

Ko Ying got the news that the official army came to help, and he also walked over happily, Tianhao heard the roar of Ko Yi, lost his mind for a while, stepped on a pool of slippery blood, slipped under his feet, and almost fell. Koji Yi heard the voice, looked back, and an arrow stepped over, reaching out to help Ko Ying.

"Brother, be careful!"

"It's okay, it's okay." Ignoring the blood in his hand, Ko Ying grabbed Ko Yi's shoulders tightly, and his eyes shone with ecstasy: "Is it Liu Xiu?" ”

Koji Yi helped Ko Ying to the side of the city wall, pointed to the Suzaku dancing in the flames, and said loudly: "Yes, it's General Wei, brother, you see, it's not the famous Suzaku battle banner in the desert. ”

Ko Ying narrowed his eyes, looked at it carefully for a moment, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, it's Suzaku, it's really General Wei here." My koji family is fortunate that our ancestors have appeared and have not fallen into the name of loyalty and righteousness of my koji family. He folded his hands and threw himself to the sky, muttering to himself, thanking his fathers and fathers for their protection. Koji Yi smiled gently, and when he finished praying, he said, "Brother, the battle situation has been decided, let's open the door to meet General Wei." ”

"That's right, that's right." Ko Young choked up, laughed again, and took Ko Yi's hand and went down to the city together.

The city wall that had been closed for more than half a month of the Koji family was suddenly opened, and Koji Ying walked out of the city gate with more than a dozen men in armor from the Koji family. Koji Yi shouted loudly: "Where is General Wei, the head of the Koji family, Koji Ying, led the Koji family to congratulate General Wei on his arrival, and thank General Wei for his rescue." ”

Liu Xiu got up from Li Wenhou's command station, held on to the railing, looked at the neatly lined up koji family, and hurriedly got off the command car, strode to Koji Ying, helped him up, and laughed: "It turns out that I am the head of the Jincheng koji family, and it is my duty to protect the territory and the people." The Koji family is not attached to the Qiang Kou, and the strength of the clan is based on the Wubao and attracts the strength of the Qiang people, which is really admirable. Shu hereby pays tribute to the heroes of the Koji family! ”

Ko Ying was in a good mood, and even said that he didn't dare to do it, so he turned around and asked Liu Xiu to enter the fort. Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Don't worry, please ask the two of you to see the two old people first." He waved his hand, and someone next to him pushed Bian Zhang and Li Wenhou over. Bian Zhang's face was full of shame, he lowered his head, and he didn't dare to look at Ko Ying. Li Wenhou's face was gray, his head was downcast, his helmet was gone, and his black hair was scattered on his face, very embarrassed.

Ko Ying glanced at them, sneered, but didn't say anything, when he didn't see them, he turned around and continued to invite Liu Xiu into the castle with a smile on his face. Liu Xiu didn't talk anymore, and the Koji brothers were polite to each other and entered the castle together.

Although the fort was large, there was not enough space to accommodate another 3,000 people, so Koji Ying ordered to take all the food, wine and meat to entertain the soldiers who came to help. On the bonfire where Li Wenhou was preparing for the night battle, the three thousand soldiers drank happily, and they were as proud as a cloud. The captives squatted in the distance, nibbling on dry and hard, some of them stained with blood, and watched with envy as the Han soldiers ate their cattle, sheep and wine, but they could not raise the courage to resist.

Bian Zhang and Li Wenhou sat together. But no one looked at him. Li Wenhou resented Bian Zhang for not doing his best, and he dragged it on until now, which gave Liu Xiu a chance, if he listened to him. They attacked the other day, and now they are the ones who are sitting at the koji house drinking. Even if Liu Xiu comes, can he still attack the city with 3,000 people?

Bian Zhang was not in the mood to listen to him cursing, hugged his legs, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and thought that today seemed to be the Yuanxiao Festival, although there were no lights here, but countless bonfires were lit. It's a bit of a festival. It's just that the air is filled with the smell of blood, and he has become a prisoner, helplessly waiting for his fate here, which is not at all compatible with the festival.

Yan Zhong walked over surrounded by several personal guards. With a wave of his hand, he motioned for the warriors guarding Bianzhang to disperse. In front of a few guards, lay down a mat in front of Bian Zhang, put two couches, and set up a case. Soon a case of alcohol and food was rectified.

Bian Zhang looked at Yan Zhong blankly, his eyes gradually lit up, but Li Wenhou just looked at him coldly and refused to come over and take a seat. Yan Zhong only prepared two couches. Apparently not for him. He looked at Bian Zhang with disdain, and from the beginning Bian Zhang made a bet with Yan Zhong. If he didn't kill Yan Zhong, he felt that Bian Zhang was preparing for the back road. Now it's happening. However, Bian Zhang has a back road, which is Bian Zhang's, and has nothing to do with him Li Wenhou, and his horse is going to die.

"Do you want me to invite?" Yan Zhong turned his head and looked at Li Wenhou with a smile. Li Wenhou was stunned for a moment, and then pursed his lips to show his disdain: "I am a Qianghu, how dare I sit side by side with two famous people." ”

Yan Zhong smiled softly: "There are no famous people here, only General Wei's Mansion is engaged in Zhonglang and his Zuo. Although you Li Wenhou is a Qiang person, how many days have you studied for a few days, and you have fought with Zhang Ranming and Duan Jiming, and you are also a talent among the Qiang people, are you willing to die like this? ”

Li Wenhou turned his head away, he didn't respond to Yan Zhong's words, but his nose was a little sour. He fought with Zhang Huan and Duan Cheng, and made a lot of contributions, and he even gave himself a Han name, and spoke a good Chinese language, but what is the use, in the eyes of the Han people, they are still Qiang Hu, rushing to the front when they fight, and falling behind when they are rewarded, and the scars on their bodies are only exchanged for some insignificant rewards. In the eyes of the Han people, the Confucian scholars in the Kanto region were the first class of people, the warriors of the Kanto region were the second class of people, the ordinary Han people were the third class of people, and no matter how much ability they had in Qiang Hu, they were all the fourth class of people.

He was unwilling to die here, but he had worked hard for more than ten years, and now he was still a Qianghu, otherwise why would he rebel.

"The Heavenly Wolf demoted General Wei and became the captain of the first battalion of the Qiang Army." Yan Zhong said unhurriedly: "With your Li Wenhou's ability, isn't it as good as the Heavenly Wolf?" ”

Li Wenhou was stunned, the wolf surrendered to Liu Xiu and became a school captain? The first battalion of the Qiang army, what Qiang army?

Yan Zhong saw his surprise in his eyes, smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to beckon: "I wanted to prepare a couch for you, but you Qiang people like to sit on the ground, General Wei said, you can't use the customs of our Han people to ask you, you can sit as you want." I have prepared three sets of cutlery, if you don't want to use it, just take it by hand. ”

Li Wenhou looked at the case, and sure enough, there were three wine glasses, three bamboo chopsticks, and three spices such as sauce and mustard, so he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, so he had to move over and reach out to get the bamboo chopsticks, but when he saw the blood stains between his fingers, he quickly shrank back, and quietly wiped them behind his back, so embarrassed that his face was flushed.

Yan Zhong laughed, picked up a plate of meat from the desk and handed it to Li Wenhou: "Don't be restrained, use it for yourself." Come and bring him a pot of wine, and the wine glass will not be needed, and it is estimated that he still likes to drink directly from the wine jug. ”

Li Wenhou grinned and bowed: "Thank you, sir." ”

Yan Zhong bowed slightly, and instead raised his cup and touched Bian Zhang. Bian Zhang saw that Liu Xiu was willing to surrender even Li Wenhou, and he was not in danger of his life, so he felt a lot more relaxed, but he was still a little ashamed. He raised the wine glass with both hands and saluted Yan Zhong respectfully: "Thank you, sir, Zhang Wudi is self-conscious, so I won't say more." ”

"Don't say that, you saved my life too." Yan Zhong smiled, took a sip of wine, picked up a piece of meat from the bamboo chopstick, and put it in his mouth, chewing it slowly until he swallowed it, and then said softly: "General Wei wants to know, who gave birth to such a big thing in Liangzhou. ”

Bian Zhang's hand shook and spilled half a glass of wine. He hesitated, didn't speak, and Yan Zhong didn't urge him, just ate meat and drank wine slowly. Li Wenhou held the meat plate. After eating the soup drippingly, he quickly swept away a plate of meat, raised the wine jug again, and poured it with a bang. Only then did he wipe his mouth and said loudly: "Mr. Bian, if you don't want to say it, I can say it." ”

Bian Zhang raised his head, his eyes were a little frightened: "Sir, it's not that I refuse to say, we swore in front of the divine envoy and gambled on the curse." ”

"What a liar Fangshi. Dare to call it a divine messenger? Yan Zhong glanced at him and sneered: "If you want to say that you believe in God, isn't the Heavenly Wolf more pious than you?" ”

Bian Zhang looked at Yan Zhong with surprised eyes, he was also curious about it. The Qiang people believed in the gods more than them, and the wolf was tortured the most by the divine envoys at that time, and he believed the most truthfully, how could he be the first to surrender?

"You probably don't know, Zhang Jiao of Taiping Road. The wives of the Heavenly Master Dao are all close friends of General Wei. They invited General Wei to enter the Tao many times, but General Wei was dismissive, do you know why? ”

Bian Zhang shook his head. Li Wenhou also came over curiously: "Why?" ”

"General Wei said that there is a great road between heaven and earth. There is no doubt about it, but the Word is more than what those people say. The true Tao is not something that these pretending gods and demons can understand. To say, water flowing to a low place is also the Tao, when heated into gas, light and, when cold and into water, this is also the Tao, this is the Tao contained in rain, snow and thunder, the most powerful power between heaven and earth, it seems to be mysterious, but in fact, the truth is very simple. This is the true Tao, and the Tao is the rule between heaven and earth, not some god. ”

Bian Zhang's brows furrowed, and Li Wenhou was inexplicable.

"Okay, in a word, you are in charge of the Taiping Dao." Yan Zhong didn't want to talk too much in front of so many people, after all, these truths were too shocking for ordinary people, just look at Bian Zhang's reaction. In fact, not only Bian Zhang, but even the first time he heard such words, he felt a little incredible.

"If you have any doubts, you can ask General Wei directly, I believe that the Heavenly Wolf can turn to General Wei, and you must be able to do the same." Yan Zhong put down his wine glass and looked at Bian Zhang: "It's just that Li Wenhou can atone for his crimes with his military exploits in the future, if you let go of this opportunity, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have a next time." ”

Bian Zhang held his breath, and after a long while, he slowly spit it out. "Tang Shushan."

"Tang Shushan?" Yan Zhong was taken aback, "What is he doing there?" ”

"I don't know." Bian Zhang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Perhaps, I want to see those people who are reclusive cultivators." ”

Yan Zhong was thoughtful, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

In the lobby of the Koji family, Liu Xiu and the Koji brothers talked and laughed, and the four generals Xu Yu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Yu Fuluo sat at the bottom, accepting the endless worship and toast of the generals of the Koji family. These people are massive, and they are used to drinking the spirits of Bingzhou, so they don't care about such a weak drink, but Liu Xiu said that when you are a guest at someone's house, you can't be too rude, in case you drink too much, it is easy to make a fool of yourself, especially Zhang Fei, when he gets drunk, he plays drunk, either looking for someone to fight, or singing with his throat, which is very embarrassing. Besides, there are four or five thousand captives outside, and you are all drunk, what if something happens?

These people are very restrained, but the way of restraint is a little different, Xu Yu is gentle and resolute, every time someone comes to toast, he will take a small sip, but he resolutely refuses to drink more, just shirks the battle, his body is a little tired, and he can't drink more. Guan Yu was expressionless, put it down after taking a sip, and didn't say anything. Zhang Fei and Yu Fuluo are somewhat similar, looking at the big bowl of wine and not being able to drink, it is simply scratching his heart with a hundred claws, and insects are about to crawl out of his throat and eyes.

After three rounds of drinking, the more he talked, the more speculative Koji Yi revealed that he wanted to join General Wei's mansion. Liu Xiu heard Yan Zhong talk about Koji Yi on the road, and knew that this person had a set of soldiers, and he had fought with the Qiang people for many years and had rich experience. He originally had the intention of soliciting, so when he was talking about it just now, he specially tested the art of war of Koji Yi, and found that although this person was lacking in theory and did not stand at a high enough height, he was indeed very rich in experience in battle, and he proposed the tactics of breaking the cavalry with foot and the method of training troops, all of which had high practical value. At this moment, Koji Yi took the initiative to ask for attachment, of course he couldn't ask for it.

"Guanzhong Sanwei, I already have two candidates, as soon as Yuntian comes, the Longshan guard will be down again."

When Koji Yi heard this, his eyes widened in shock, and he and Ko Ying glanced at each other, almost screaming in surprise. Less than an hour after he and Liu Xiu met, Liu Xiu asked him to guard Longshan and be in charge of the west gate of Guanzhong, which is a great trust. Not only a recognition of his abilities, but also a trust in his loyalty. Longshan directly faced the main force of the Qiang people. If Liu Xiu didn't trust him, how could he give him such an important position. Even though Liu Xiu had heard Han Sui and Yan Zhong mention him, this heart-to-heart trust still made Lu Yi very excited.

He stepped away from the table, his hands above his head. Bow to the ground: "Koji is willing to serve the general." ”

Liu Xiu hurriedly helped him up, and solemnly introduced Xu Yu and Guan Yu and others to him one by one, although they had been introduced just now, but it was polite, and now they will introduce it again, but they are their own people. Xu Yu and others got up one after another and welcomed the joining of Ko Yi. Koji was overjoyed and made love with them.

Guan Yu took the heavy armor soldiers to rampage in the Qiang camp. easily crushed Li Wenhou's resistance, which played a key role in the rapid victory, and Koji Yi admired him and blushed at him. More three-point closeness. After hearing that it was he who killed Nie Xiao on a single horse in front of the battle, he was even more impressed. He knew very well to Nie Xiao that that person was not a reckless person, he would not rush to the front like those generals who thought they were brave, but sat in command of the Chinese army. If you want to kill him in front of the battle, you must first kill the front army that is waiting for you, and that force is not something that ordinary people can imagine.

In the face of Koji Yi's fiery admiration, Guan Yu was very useful. A rare return of the bow and a slight smile.

Wait for Koji to return to his seat. Liu Xiu casually mentioned his plan. "Of course, Liangzhou is the Liangzhou of the Han Dynasty, but the imperial court is also eventful now. Thirty or forty years of Qiang Rebellion have dragged the imperial court to the exhaustion, and it seems unrealistic to rely on the imperial court's taxes, manpower, and material resources to keep Liangzhou. Besides, the Kanto region is the prime minister, the Kansai is the general, and if you want to fight, you have to rely on the Liangzhou people themselves. After so many years of peace, the most famous is Liangzhou Sanming, Liangzhou has many heroes, how can these three famous generals have no successors. ”

"The general is a disciple of Duan Gong, how can he say that there is no successor?" Ko Young said with a smile and flattery.

Liu Xiu smiled, "Cultivation is not talented, thanks to Duan Gong not giving up, it is an honor to be included in the disciple." Xiu is not from Liangzhou, but he is from Youzhou, and Liangzhou is the same frontier, and Koji Jun is willing to regard me as a Liangzhou person, and I am also very willing. ”

Everyone laughed, as Liu Xiu said, although he is not from Liangzhou, he is also a border person, in the eyes of those Central Plains people, they are all border martial artists, and there is no regional discrimination.

"However, if you want to stabilize Liangzhou, it is not enough for me alone, but also on more Liangzhou people. Liangzhou Han and Qiang are mixed, of course, we can't forget the Qiang people, so I want to form seven battalions of the Qiang army to govern Qiang with Qiang. But since Liangzhou is the Liangzhou of the Han Dynasty, the first thing that should be relied on is the Han people in Liangzhou, and it is obviously not a wise move to hand over the sword to the Qiang people, so I also want to form seven battalions of the Han army in Liangzhou, three battalions to guard the gateway of Guanzhong, and four battalions to guard Liangzhou. ”

Ko Ying heard what Liu Xiu meant, Liu Xiu not only wanted Koji Yi to be his subordinate and help him guard Longshan, but also hoped that the Koji family would contribute to form a battalion. This is not a trivial matter, and the financial and material resources paid are far from being as simple as a few parts.

"General Wei, what is the approximate size of each of the seven battalions of the Han Army?"

"The scale can't be too big, otherwise it can't be afforded." Liu Xiu had already prepared, "I am ready to have about 2,000 people per battalion, and now that we are creating a small number of people, we will not be able to have a few hundred people, or a thousand people, and when it is mature, we will slowly make up for it." ”

Ko Ying nodded, the scale of two thousand people is not small. This is the level of a school, that is, if the Koji family agrees to fund the construction of this battalion, Koji Yi will be the captain. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the generals have not yet been flooded, most of the leading troops are Zhonglang generals, Zhonglang generals have several battalions, and the generals of each battalion are school captains, so to speak, although not every school captain is as high as the captain of the fifth battalion of the Northern Army, but his status in the army is really not low.

For the Koji family, as soon as they entered the Wei General's Mansion, they became a captain and had their own battalion, which was a very high starting point, and the money was worth it.

The Koji brothers exchanged a look with each other and nodded. Koji Ying promised the Koji family to send 1,000 people to form a battalion.

Liu Xiu was overjoyed, and then discussed the war in Jincheng with the brothers of the Koji family, they turned over from Liugu Mountain, there are still tens of thousands of Qiang people in the Jincheng area, if you want to completely quell the Qiang rebellion and drive the rebels out of Jincheng County, you must defeat those tens of thousands of Qiang people. In terms of the strength in Liu Xiu's hands, it was not easy to defeat these tens of thousands of Qiang people, and there was not much time left for him. Zhong Qiang's main force has rushed to the Great and Small Elm Valleys, and they may find out that they have been deceived at any time, and if they don't hurry up, the fighter may be lost in one fell swoop.

When the Koji family was selecting men and preparing to form a battalion to accompany Liu Xiu on the expedition, Yan Zhong also said that Li Wenhou had surrendered, and Li Wenhou agreed to select two or three thousand people from the captured soldiers to form the second battalion of the Qiang army. He is a righteous conghu from Zhangye, and is known as Jin Zhangye and Yinwuwei in Liangzhou, so he named it Jinluying.

After the two battalions were rectified, Liu Xiu rushed to Jincheng County with the personal guard battalion, the first battalion of the Liangzhou Han army, and the first battalion of the Qiang army, a total of more than 8,000 people.
