Chapter 274: The Qiang Tribe

And the state battalion, the Chinese army big tent.

Lu Bu sat behind the handsome case, and the military generals knelt on both sides, there were a lot of people in the tent today, except for Wei Yan who was stationed in the Wudu, the generals under Lu Bu's account were almost all together, even Jiang Xu and Gan Ning were also impressively listed, Jiang Wei was special, and he also followed Jiang Xu to participate in the military meeting today, but he was put at the end of the position by Lu Bu.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I summoned you here today for the Qiang Clan, and I was going to use troops against the Qiang Clan, what do you think!" After a while, Lu Bu took the lead in breaking the tranquility in the tent and recalled the generals to Longxian County, the reason for the military discussion, a few days ago, because he wanted to give Lu Lingqi and Lu, he was delayed for a lot of days, and now Lu Lingqi has reached Lu, and the Tuntian system, the opening of schools, and the minting of coins are all unfolding in an orderly manner, and Lu Bu has the opportunity to raise the issue of going out to conquer the Qiang people.

"Good! It's finally time for this day! ”

"I've always been fighting other princes, and I've been bored for a long time, so this time I'll change it to a fresh one! :

"The Qiang people have always been our scourge, go early and relax!"

As soon as Lu Bu's voice fell, it immediately resonated with the generals, because since they settled in the four counties of Longxi, they have had enough of the hardships of the Qiang people, and when they heard that Lu Bu was going to conquer Qiang, they all geared up and prepared to show their strength.

As early as Qin repaired the Great Wall, the Qiang people were distributed outside the Lintao Great Wall, but they were also safe, so the border of Liangzhou was quite calm, so Yingzheng focused on the Xiongnu, so the Qiang people were able to rise and develop, and finally became the tumor of the later Han Dynasty.

Zhuqiang in the center of Hehuang is the West Qiang, the Hehuang area in the Qiang is one of the birthplaces of the Qiang nationality, the tribes are complex, the population is large, since the sword, its descendants have more than 150 kinds of branches. Nine of them are west of the source of the Cizhi River, and in the north of Shu and Han, and 52 of the Qiang people are weakened and unable to stand on their own, so they are scattered or extinct without a queen. Or lead away, the other eighty-nine kinds, Zhong Qiang is the strongest, winning more than 100,000 soldiers, the rest of the large tribes have more than 10,000 people, the small tribes have thousands of people, large and small tribes attack each other, prosperity and decline are impermanent.

In addition to the sword branch, there are more than 20 species. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty and the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, some migrated to the southwest of Liangzhou, among which those who lived in the two counties of Longxi and Jincheng and their outer parts were Xianling, Yaodang, Lejie, Dangfang, Dang, Khotan, Fengyang, Sister Tired, Beinan, Hunu, Wuwu, Zhongcun, Gongtang, and Leng, Fu Nan and other tribes, and in Shangjun, there were all the tribes of Quanwu, Shen Di, and Sister Prison, and in Xihe County, there were Qianren and Beinan tribes, and those who were relocated to Anding County. There is a burning He tribe, so it is divided into East Qiang and West Qiang.

Lu Bu was not going to deal with Xiqiang led by Yadan this time. Rather, it is the eight Qiang tribes of the Burning Dangqiang, Shenwolf Qiang, and Baima Qiang, which are often plundered, and the eight Qiang tribes that often make trouble, such as Burning He, Dangfang, and Le Sister.

"If you are not of my race, your heart will be different, and you dissuaded the lord from going west before, because our army fought many battles, and the grain and grass were incomplete, so it was not suitable to fight again. Now that the army is strong and the horses are strong, and the grain and grass are sufficient, it is time to clear the border troubles, but if you don't send troops, you will be able to eradicate the Qiang. Never again! Jia Xu nodded, expressing his agreement with Lu Bu to send troops, and he and Chen Gong tried every means to dissuade him before, but it was really because of the lack of troops and the lack of food and grass.

"Yes, if the lord wants to take Xichuan, this Qiang tribe must be removed, otherwise the Qiang tribe will lead the troops to attack when we are most critical, and they will definitely trap me in a place where there is no return!" Cheng Yu stroked his long hair with his hand and mended the knife again.

The reason why Cheng Yu said this is also well-founded, because the Han Haoqiang often used the Qiang people as their troops or soldiers, driving them to farm, graze and fight, and at the same time, the border generals often exploited and oppressed, so that the Qiang people continued to break out uprisings, and when Emperor Shun, the uprisings of the East and West Qiang and Baimaqiang amounted to more than 50 times, including five large-scale ones.

The first time was from the second year of the founding to the thirteenth year of Yongyuan, because Shilin Haoqiang continued to encroach on the Xiqiang cultivated land and pastures in the Hehuang area, drove it into the barren and bitter cold mountains, and arrested the leaders of the Qiang nationality for no reason, and plundered the Qiang women as wives and concubines at will.

The second time is the first year of Yongchu to the first year of Jianguang, the war lasted for 12 years, the empire gathered more than 500,000 troops, and spent 24 billion to quell it, in the first year of the first year of the water, Emperor An sent the cavalry captain Wang Hongqiang to conquer Jincheng, Longxi, Hanyang three counties tens of thousands of cavalry to the Western Regions, the road is far away and prompts the Qiang people to be sad, when they arrive in Jiuquan, most of the Qiang people are unable to take responsibility and flee one after another, the counties send troops to intercept, destroy their thatched houses,

The Qiang people and garrisons from all over the country concentrated in Rile County, Zhangye County, unveiled the pole and rose up, attacked the pavilion, killed the officials, launched an uprising centered on Beidi, Anding, and Longxi, the group of Qiang ran and frightened, fanned each other, and lived in Bingzhou and Liangzhou, Qiang, Di, Xianbei and other foreign races all the time, annihilated the generals, slaughtered the city, Emperor An immediately transferred 50,000 soldiers to Hanyang, split the way to attack, indiscriminate slaughter, in desperation, the Qiang chieftain recruited Wudu County to fight together with the Qiang and Qiang Hu of Shangjun and Xihe, and united with the peasants headed by Du Qi to capture Shangbang City, when the situation was prosperous, according to Anding, Beidi, Shangjun, Xihe and other counties in the north; east to Ha Dong, Shang Dang, Hanoi; There are two counties of Longxi, Hanyang and the east of Jincheng County in the west; Arriving in the southwest of Hanzhong County in the south, the uprising lasted for 12 years and established the first regime of the Qiang people.

The third time is the fifth year of Yonghe to the first year of Yongjia, Jincheng, Longxi's and Leng, Fu Nan Zhujun Qiang and Anding, Beidi two counties of Hanqiang, burning He Qiang united against the struggle against bureaucratic corruption and atrocities, which lasted six years, Emperor Shun gathered 100,000 troops, costing 8 billion money,

The fourth time is the second year of Yanxi to the second year of Jianning, Longxi burns dang and other eight kinds of Qiang, Anding Xian Lingqiang, Shangjun Shen Di, prison sister and other Qiang successively in and, Liang and Sanfu raised troops to make a rebellion, the war lasted eleven years, costing four billion money, Yanxi two years, Emperor Huan to the remnants of the cheese to suppress the Kwantung uprising and known for Duan Xi as the captain of the Qiang Guard, the East and West Qiang rose up and resisted, and jointly attacked and annexed the state, Liangzhou and Sanfu, the official army was defeated every time, Duan Xi was killed, was removed from the post of captain of the Qiang, and sent the weak and incompetent Hu Min as the captain, the scale of the Qiang rebellion expanded, Emperor Huan also sent Huangfu Gui as the Zhonglang general, holding the festival to supervise the Guanxi soldiers, Huangfu Gui from the analysis of the causes of the previous Qiang uprisings: "The Qiang Rong rebellion, not by Chengping, are all lost by the border generals to Suiyu." After taking office, he beheaded the officials who were taken from the wolf, killed more than the Qiang, and did not obey the law, so as to win the hearts of the people, first zero all kinds of Qiang and the prestige of the rules, and persuade more than 100,000 people to surrender.

In the sixth year of Yanjia, Emperor Huan ordered Duan Xi to be the captain of the Qiang Guard. Duan Xi pursued the slaughter policy even more viciously, and in the spring of the following year, Feng Miao, Liangduo, Dian Na and other Qiang chieftains were forced to lead more than 3,000 households to surrender.

In the first year of Jianning, Duan Xi defeated Dongqiang in Jingyang, and the Qiang people withdrew into the Hanyang Mountains, and the following year, the Han soldiers entered the deep valley of the poor mountains, slaughtered nearly 20,000 people, recruited 4,000 people, and were placed in Anding, Hanyang, and Longxi counties, and the Dongqiang rebellion was quelled, and in five years, Duan Xi fought one hundred and eighty battles, beheaded more than 38,600 levels, and obtained more than 427,000 cattle, horses, sheep, mules, donkeys, and camels

The fifth time is the first year of Zhongping to the sixth year of Zhongping, with Jincheng Yi Congqiang, Longxi Xian Lingqiang mainly gathered people to make trouble, in the winter of the first year of Zhongping, following the Guanzhong Yellow Turban Uprising, Jincheng, Longxi, Hanyang three counties of Qiang first zero Qiang, Huangzhong Yi Conghu, Liangzhou Yi Congqiang leader Beigong Boyu and Han Sui, Bian Zhang, Li Wenhou raised troops to rebel, led more than 100,000 people, captured many counties, the forward had arrived in the west of Sanfu, and finally because Han Sui killed Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, Bian Zhang and announced the end.

"Yes, the Qiang people have been repeatedly, and we can't keep it all in order to raise troops when we fight Xichuan, but how to fight, we still need to think in the long run!" Although Gao Shun also agreed with the westward expedition, he could not be blind, and it was not too late to enter the army after discussion.

Lu Bu nodded, glanced at Wen Wu with a sharp gaze, and said unhurriedly: "I have already discussed with the three military divisions, and decided to divide the troops into three routes, the first way, with Zhang Liao as the main general, Jiang Xu, Song Xian, and Wei Xu as the deputy generals, and led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to attack the Qiang Road to attack the Wolf Qiang and the White Horse Qiang; On the second road, with Gan Ning as the main general, Chen Qi, Zhou Tai, and Yan Xing as deputy generals, the troops went out to attack Zhu Qiang such as Burning He, Dang Frying, and Sister Le; The third way, led by the general himself 30,000 troops to attack and burn, with Gao Shun and Huang Zhong as deputy generals, the three armies agreed on a time to send troops together, and there must be no mistakes! ”

Because Chen Gong, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu and others needed to welcome the upcoming young talents, they did not participate in this battle, but the main generals of this western expedition were not generals, although there was no strategist to plan, but it was harmless, and the barbarians in the mountains could not use any means.

This expedition to Qiang, is the Han Dynasty since the establishment of the second large-scale battle into the Qiang realm, although it is the second, but the scale is the largest one, Zhang Liao garrisoned Qiang Dao headquarters army and horses have 30,000, Ganning garrison Jincheng soldiers and horses have 30,000, Lu Bu will also send 30,000 troops, make do with the number of three three, a total of 90,000 troops, swear to destroy the Qiang rebellion that has been a disaster for a long time.

In addition to relieving the crisis in the west, Lü Bu also has a reason, since ancient times, foreign races have killed a lot of Han people, so that most of the Shilin have hated it, Lü Bu set out at this critical juncture when Cai Yong opened a school, and the mystery is self-evident.

"The last general commands!"

was named by Lu Bu, and all the generals walked out of the array and promised to Lu Bu on the main seat.

When the major events are settled, all that remains is to raise food, grass and equipment, which are necessary for the army to go on an expedition, and there is no room for delay, and Lu Bu immediately announced the dissolution of the military council.

After the end of the military discussion, Zhang Liao and Gan Ning bid farewell to the generals one by one, and led the adjutant generals to gallop towards their respective stations.

On March 19, the auspicious day of the zodiac, with the wave of Lu Bu's sword, the 30,000 army drove out of Longxian, thinking about the border of Longxi, and at the same time, Zhang Liao and Gan Ning, who were stationed in Qiangdao and Jincheng, raised their swords at the same time, and ordered the army to march towards the Qiang realm, and the three-way army, totaling 90,000, was ready to clear the border trouble in one fell swoop.

When Lu Bu's army went out of the city, there were two petite figures, taking advantage of the fact that the general and captain of the army were not paying attention, and quietly followed the end of the army. (To be continued......)
