Original Volume 4 Yellow Turban Chaos Chapter 389 People abandon me and take it

In just half a day, the Qiang people outside the city were defeated and scattered and fled, with such speed that Jian Shuo was ecstatic and Song Jian was crazy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info5 In a fit of rage, he wanted to jump off the city to commit suicide but failed, and the idea of dying faded a little, and he convened the ministers to discuss the matter, but the scene of the officials and soldiers driving sheep like wolves was not only clear to Song Jian, but also to the three ministers and generals, they all thought that they would watch a good show of a bloody battle between the officials and the Qiang people, but they never thought that the battle situation would be one-sided from the beginning and become a unilateral massacre of the officials and soldiers.

These people have experienced the battlefield, but no one expected this result, they naturally pointed the spearhead to the general who had been killed, and at this time they didn't care that the general was Song Jian's father-in-law, and scolded the general for being incompetent, damaging the army and defeating the country, and a few knowledgeable people also contacted the disaster of the relatives of the Han Empire, saying that the relatives were the bane, please the prince and the virtuous ministers, far from the villain, don't favor the relatives, and make Song Jian angry and blushing for a while.

It's useless to scold the general, how to solve the dilemma in front of you is the main thing. The Qiang people were defeated, leaving only one lonely city in Baishi City, and all the defenders added up to only more than 3,000 people, whether they could defend the city was indeed a big problem.

Lord Situ said, it doesn't matter, the officers and soldiers don't have much food, and they shouldn't be able to last a few days. Before he finished speaking, the captain objected, the officers and soldiers didn't have much food, but they had just robbed the Qiang people's grain, so many cattle and sheep, and the grain and grass that the king rewarded them, it was enough for the officers and soldiers to support them for half a month, right? Caohan City didn't even survive overnight, how long do you think White Rock City can hold on?

At this moment, Bian Zhang, who had not yet woken up from the wine, was invited, and when he heard that the Qiang people were defeated, Bian Zhang was shocked, and suddenly sobered up for three points, and blurted out: "How is it possible?" ”

Song Jianyu cried without tears, it was impossible, everyone thought it was impossible, but this is a fact, you go to the city to take a look, there are only officials and soldiers left. The Qiang people ran away without even a shadow.

Bian Zhang stumbled: "King, this is not a good thing." ”

Song Jian was puzzled, of course this is not a good thing, but do you still need to remind me?

"Great King, those Qiang leaders handed over their tribe to the general to lead, and now their tribe has been defeated by the official army and suffered heavy losses, so can they let the king go? Without the help of the Qiang people, Baishi City will definitely not be able to hold it, and the king now only has one way to patrol the mountains, if he keeps these Qiang leaders, how can the king sleep peacefully? ”

Song Jian also panicked, yes, the Qiang people were defeated so badly, the leader of the Qiang people would definitely not let him go, so could he still enter the mountain?

"According to the minister's opinion, he didn't do anything, and he cut off the heads of these Qiang people, asked the officials and soldiers to surrender, and changed their merits for their crimes. If the officers and soldiers did not agree, the king would go into the mountains, and the officials and troops would not dare to pursue him. The Qiang people are scattered, and who can help to get the king? ”

When Song Jian heard this, he also felt that it made sense, and hurriedly discussed it with the ministers, and those people couldn't say a word, thinking about it, it seemed that Bian Zhang's suggestion was more secure. So Song Jian ordered to cut off all the heads of those Qiang leaders in one go. Poor fellows haven't woken up yet, so they are dazed and unjustly killed.

Song Jian immediately sent people out of the city to ask for surrender. Liu Xiu is also cool, it's okay to surrender, and I won't kill you, but you, the king, must go to Luoyang to ask Your Majesty for guilt, as for whether Your Majesty kills you or not, I don't care, but I can guarantee that as long as you are captured, your family will not die. If you refuse to surrender, when the city is broken, not only will you die, but your whole family will have to die, and none of your three princes and nine kings, big and small, will be able to escape.

Song Jian was still hesitating, but his three princes and nine ministers refused to wait, Liu Xiu only needed Song Jian alone, and they could escape death. And once the resistance failed, they all had to follow the bad luck, so they connected with each other, directly tied up Song Jian, and surrendered Kaicheng.

A farce has come to an end.

A few days later, when the news came that the Heavenly Wolf had raided the Great and Small Elm Valley again, Zhong Wu was taken aback and immediately rushed back with a large army. was robbed by the wolf last year, Zhong Qiang has been seriously injured, and he has been busy for more than half a year, so it is easy to ease up a little, and if he is robbed again, this winter will be miserable.

Immediately afterwards, the Qiang tribes that were still wandering nearby also received the news, and at the same time, they also knew that their leaders had been cut off by Song Jian, and they were angry and anxious, they wanted to take revenge, but the dragons had no leader, so they had to retreat for the time being.

Liu Xiu left Xiahou Yuan to guard Baishi City, with Yan Shu, who was familiar with the affairs of the Qiang people, as his lieutenant, and then stuffed Song Jian into the car, and sent him to Luoyang along with the crown clothes, jade seals, and various evidence of rebellion received from Baishi City. With these things, the fact that Song Jian was arrogant and became king is unmistakable. God pity see, with Song Jian's little knowledge, how did he know these things, and he really did something like that, this was all urgently prepared for him by his favored Taichangqing Bian Zhang. If only based on his original set of equipment, it is estimated that the sky will wonder if Liu Xiu is lying about his military exploits and treating a group of sheep herding games as a rebellion to claim the king.

It was also thanks to Song Jian's thick nerves, he didn't vomit blood in anger, and sat in the car peacefully, bumping all the way to Chang'an.

Tongguan, Liu Xiu and Jian Shuo said goodbye. Jian Shuo looked at the car where Song Jian was imprisoned, and looked at all kinds of good things that Meng Tuo had just purchased from the Western Regions, and his heart blossomed. These things are rare in Luoyang, not to mention him, some things may not have a chance to be seen in the sky, go back and offer these things, can the sky be unhappy?

"General Wei, don't worry, I'm not ungrateful." Jian Shuo solemnly patted his chest and solemnly promised: "I will definitely show your loyalty to Your Majesty, and I will also tell Your Majesty about your difficulties, I believe Your Majesty will understand you." ”

"I'm relieved." Liu Xiu smiled slightly, "My personal gains and losses are still secondary, the important thing is the Qiang people and the affairs of the Western Regions." Those Confucian scholars only knew how to read, and they didn't even want to come here to see for themselves, and the suggestions they put forward were just words on paper, how could they be compared with someone like you who had personal experience. ”

Jian Shuo laughed, and Liu Xiu gave up again, and he got into the carriage and returned to the east satisfied.

Liu Xiu watched Jian Shuo gradually move away with a solemn face, until he couldn't see his shadow, then turned around and arched his hand to Bian Zhang: "Wen, thank you this time." If it weren't for you, I don't know how long this war would have dragged on. ”

Bian Zhang's heart was full of joy, but his face refused to show anything: "It's all Mr. Gongxiao's clever plan, I'm just acting according to the plan." ”

"Hahaha......" Liu Xiu laughed, exchanged a look with Yan Zhong, and smiled understandingly. Although this time, in order to make a deep impression on Jian Shuo and increase his credit, they were a little overly exaggerated about the difficulty of the war, but to be honest, if it wasn't for Bian Zhang's strategy to Song Jian to ask the Qiang people to help, and hit the main force of the Qiang people outside Baishi City in one fell swoop, it would not be easy to find those Qiang tribes one by one in the ravine. And if it weren't for Bian Zhang tricking those Qiang leaders into the city, he wouldn't have been able to win so easily.

Although Zhong Wu and June Thunder both escaped by luck, the strength of the Qiang people was greatly damaged, and the possibility of a major event in the short term was greatly reduced. With Xiahou Yuan sitting in Baishi City and Yan Shu as his deputy, his control over the southern part of Liangzhou was greatly enhanced.

Next, his eyes fell on the western and western regions of Liangzhou. In order to reopen the Silk Road, he had to strengthen his control over the Hexi Corridor, and importantly, there was a good pasture under the Yanzhi Mountain between Wuwei and Zhangye, which was an important production area for military horses in the imperial court since Huo Qu was sick out of Hexi and seized this land. Now that Liangzhou is dilapidated and the pastures are abandoned, he plans to resume horse breeding there, on the one hand to solve the livelihood problems of the people, and on the other hand to prepare for the coming war.

In this era of cold weapons, war horses are an important part of the armament, the reason why the Central Plains Dynasty has been repeatedly ravaged by nomads from the northwest is because China's good horse breeding grounds are in the northwest. The Han and Tang dynasties were strong because they firmly controlled the northwest, although the Song Dynasty was very wealthy, but lost the military horse base in the northwest, and militarily it has been at a disadvantage of being passively beaten.

And to fully master Liangzhou, he needs the trust of the heavens. And cool out of Jing riding, this truth not only he understands, the ministers of the court also understand, Tian also understands, if the sky can not trust him, it will definitely not let him be satisfied, at this time to show loyalty, and then let Jian Shuo help him say a few good words, it is very necessary.

"General, Captain Cao Cāo of Changshui is going to Chang'an, how should we receive it?"

"That's it, it's what it is, don't hide it too much." Liu Xiu sighed: "We are really poor, not fake poor, there is no need to show him." ”

Yan Zhong nodded. This crusade against Song Jian, coupled with the preparation of New Year's gifts for the sky, Guanzhong was hollowed out, if it were not for the savings of Song Jian for many years in Baishi City, and some things from the Qiang tribe, I am afraid that the Chinese New Year's Eve meal would not be served.

Liu Xiu held a family banquet in General Wei's mansion, and did not invite a few accompanying guests, so he and the eldest princess and his wife accompanied him to the banquet of Changshui Captain Cao Cāo and his Sima Xiahoudun.

"Mengde, this battle is hard, look at you, black and thin." Liu Xiu picked up the wine glass, gestured to Cao Cāo, and drank it all: "This is a wine from the Western Regions, the taste may be a little strange, don't drink it too much for the first time." But it's a good thing, it's good for the body, but it's a wonderful thing for health. ”

Cao Cāo took a small sip, smacked his lips, tasted it for a moment, and haha: "It turns out that the wine tastes like this, it's really weird, if you hadn't told me first, I thought it was vinegar." ”

Liu Xiu couldn't help but laugh.
