After the defeat of the Xiliang coalition army in World War I, Wei Tao's affairs went very smoothly.

When Xiping and Wuwei were deceiving the city, it was very easy to open the city gate to let Wei Tao's subordinates enter it, and because Ma Teng and Han Sui mobilized a lot of forces to confront Wei Tao's army, there were not too many people left in the two cities to defend, so that Dian Wei and Pan Feng could easily occupy the two cities.

After Xiping and Wuwei were all returned to Wei Tao, Ma Teng and Han Sui and their soldiers were all missing.

Xiping and Wuwei are all under the control of Wei Tao.

However, now that Xiliang has just been included in the control, Wei Tao is also worried that there will be trouble, especially those Qiang people will be in turmoil, so it is the garrison Wuwei, and he is always in case of anything unexpected in Xiliang.

For this reason, even Wei Tao stayed in Xiliang temporarily.

In addition to getting Xiliang, Wei Tao also has an extra general, Pang De.

However, during this month, Pound did not take over any rights, but only served Ma Chao as much as possible and helped him recover from his injuries.

"Ling Ming, are you really unwilling to leave with me?"

After Ma Chao's injuries were healed, Wei Tao directly ordered people to return the armor and horses, and then let him leave freely.

Although Ma Chao is brave, Wei Tao has a hatred for his family, and it is difficult for him to surrender to him, even if it is persuasion, I am afraid that it will attract ridicule from the other party, so Wei Tao has never persuaded Ma Chao to surrender.

And because of Pang De, Wei Tao did not send anyone to come, except for one or two attendants around, there were only Ma Chao and Pang De, so it can be said that they wanted to leave. There is no hindrance at all.

Of course. It is impossible for Wei Tao to do such a thing. He wanted Pound to surrender and help him, not to put Pound under house arrest.

Since it is to help oneself, it is naturally impossible to send people to monitor it from time to time in the future, and there is no need to do more meaningless things now.

"Young Lord, today is the last time I call it so, since General Wei keeps his promise to cure the young lord and allows the young lord to leave, then I will also keep my promise. Take refuge in him. ”

Pound's face showed a wry smile, but there was a determination in his eyes, and he arched his hand towards Ma Chao.

"If the young lord fights with the lord again in the future, then Pang De will definitely not show mercy to his subordinates, even if he dies in the hands of General Meng Qi, he will definitely let General Meng Qi be wounded!"

As soon as these words came out, Ma Chao already understood that Pang De had already made up his mind, even if they met on the battlefield in the future, it would be impossible to hesitate.

Although there is still unwillingness in his heart, Ma Chao has nothing to say at this time. In the end, I can only nod heavily.

"I will not show any mercy when the time comes, but one day you will die by my spear. I will spare your life to repay you for saving your life today! ”

Ma Chao is like this, Pound knows it, so even if he hears this, he just nods slightly, and then arches his hand, no more words, and his meaning is clear.

Ma Chao did the same, he also gave up his hand and then left.

After Ma Chao left, Pang De smiled slightly bitterly, and immediately returned to Wuwei, and then directly asked to see Wei Tao.

As soon as he saw Wei Tao, Pang De immediately knelt down and saluted.

"Pound greets the lord!"

Before, Pang De had always only called Wei Tao General Wei, and called Ma Chao the young lord, but now he has changed his title, which naturally means surrender.

"Haha...... I have to make it clear, like a tiger with wings! ”

Wei Tao saw Pang De like this, although he was happy, but in fact, he was not very surprised, the history of Pang De was to surrender to Cao Cao, even if he fought with Ma Chao again, although he remembered the old friendship, but he did not take refuge in the past, which shows that Pang De is a trustworthy person.

"Now that the Qiang people in Xiliang have got grain and grass, it can be said that they have survived the cold winter, and it is impossible for our army to launch an offensive in a short period of time, so there are still many things that need to be done to help Ling Ming, and Ling Ming should not shirk."

"Pound obeys the orders of the Lord."

Pound answered, and then said slowly.

"Qi Qi Lord, the Lord has already subdued the Qiang people in the previous war, as long as the Lord Gong orders Dian Wei and other generals to show force in the major tribes of the Qiang tribe, the Qiang people will definitely give in. In the past, when General Ma Teng was here, he took advantage of this, and almost half a year later, he sent General Ma Chao to challenge the Qiang warriors. It is precisely because of this that General Ma Chao was regarded as 'General Shenweitian' by the Qiang people. ”

Although Pang De has recognized Wei Tao as the main father, he still doesn't want to speak ill of Ma Teng and others, which shows that he has friendship.

However, after Wei Tao heard what Pang De said, he shook his head slightly.

"I see, but this method can't suppress the Qiang people for a while."

"The lord can still broaden the hearts of the Qiang people, the Qiang people are poor, and they have always admired my Han, and their leaders are also willing to interact with my Han. Han Sui did not have the courage of General Ma Chao, but he was widely known among the Qiang people, and many tribes were willing to obey his orders. ”

Hearing Pang De say this, Wei Tao couldn't help but shake his head slightly and smiled, he had already heard that although Pang De was willing to help, what he said was just Ma Teng and Han Sui's strategy.

"If this can be used to subdue their hearts, then those Qiang people will not be confused by food and rebel. With small favors and small favors to buy their people, not to mention that they will also be bought, if one day they become stronger, there is a danger of backing their master, let alone take it lightly. ”

Hearing Wei Tao's words, Pang De also had nothing to say, after all, the previous battle was still vivid, Wei Tao only used a few days of food to disintegrate the Xiliang Coalition Army, and then took the opportunity to cover up and directly defeat the Xiliang Coalition Army.

Therefore, Wei Taoyan's statement that his strategy is not good is not completely unfounded.

Pang De was not a resourceful person, if he fought in front of the battle, he was not afraid, but when it came to scheming and planning, he didn't have so many ways, and after hearing Wei Tao's words, he was immediately dumbfounded.

Seeing this, Wei Tao couldn't help but smile.

"Komeito doesn't have to think about it so much, I have my own opinions on this matter. Now that Gongming, you can help me, which is naturally beneficial to me to stabilize the situation in Xiliang. But I'm asking you. ”

Wei Tao naturally didn't mind if Pang De couldn't make a plan, in fact, if Pang De could really make any tricks, it would surprise Wei Tao.

"I heard that the Qiang tribe is now in charge, but Ling Ming knows how it is?"

"Lord, each tribe of the Qiang tribe has a patriarch, and if you really say that you want to be the lord, it's just the largest tribe, I don't know how the lord asks?"

Pound was slightly stunned, and then said.

"Although I don't know how they are, I have heard that there are no people with great ambitions among them, they are just thinking about keeping their family business, and the lord does not need to worry."

Although Pang De didn't know why Wei Tao suddenly asked this question, he replied as much as he could.

With the assistance of Pang De, a person who has been in Xiliang for a long time, Wei Tao quickly figured out that although Xiqiang has also benefited from this battle, it is impossible to say that he has the strength to threaten Wei Tao.

In fact, in Xiliang, it has always been the Han people who have overwhelmed the Qiang people, but in the past, in order to be able to form a strong cavalry, whether it was Ma Teng or Han Sui, they all had a heart of forbearance towards the Qiang people, and it was really not too difficult to subdue the Qiang people.

"In this way, it should be almost the same as having a long article."

Wei Tao was silent for a while, although Xiliang still has many places to disobey him, after the defeat of Ma Teng and Han Sui, he surrendered to the table, but he didn't know it.

However, as long as there is no strong military power to assist it, it is only a matter of time before one of them is merged.

Although Chen Qun is not good at military planning, he has his ability in such government affairs.

Coupled with Pang De, who is familiar with Xiliang, and Xu Huang and Wei Yan, who are ready to stay here, Wei Tao believes that in less than a year, the entire Liangzhou will be completely under his hands.

After all, Wei Tao is territory is already a few states, and with the fact that Liangzhou is vast and sparsely populated, it is naturally impossible for Wei Tao to spend time staying here.

In fact, in the past month, all major events have been decided, even if Wei Tao is not there, it doesn't matter much, the reason why he mentioned the Qiang people with Pang De is naturally because for Wei Tao, this is the most important thing, and he also hopes that Pang De can pay attention to it.

Subsequently, Wei Tao naturally arranged the matter, especially to Chen Qun, and explained it several times.

After all the affairs were explained, Wei Tao led people away, and when Wei Tao arrived in Chang'an, he was reported by Zhuge Jin.

"Lord Qiqi, some time ago, the Son of Heaven had arrived in Xuchang and personally canonized Cao Mengde as prime minister. However, unlike in the past, this time the Son of Heaven did not give Cao Cao too many constraints, nor did he immediately take action to win over Cao Cao's generals and ministers. ”

Zhuge Jin knew what Wei Tao wanted to know, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he told the things one by one.

"But in the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, the identity of the Son of Heaven is different after all, although the Son of Heaven did not take the initiative, but he still won the support of many people, and at the same time, Cao Cao's prestige is also spread all over the world. Of course, today's Cao Mengde doesn't need to be like this. However, Cao Mengde got a benefit, after the Son of Heaven arrived in Xuchang, the Jiangdong army sent people to Xuchang to meet the Son of Heaven, and as a result, Jiangdong Sun Quan was named a general, and the Jiangdong army stopped fighting with Cao's army. ”

"The Jiangdong Army and the Cao Army have ceased fighting?"

Wei Tao was slightly stunned, but soon reacted again, nodded slightly, and said.

"But this is not so unusual, although the Jiangdong Army has already entered Yangzhou, but Jiangdong Sun Quan inherited the position not long ago, the Jiangdong Army's military strength is even more insufficient, with its current strength to occupy such a place is already very reluctant, even if they take Yangzhou, can they defend it?"
