The river of Hehuang refers to the Yellow River; Huang refers to Huangshui, which also includes its tributary, the Datong River.

When the snow melts in spring, it is also the period of abundant water in the river, which was called between the three rivers in ancient times. The Hehuang area refers to the two valleys formed by the impact of the Huangshui and the Yellow River, which is connected to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the west, between the Loess Plateau and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and is an important passage connecting Liangzhou in Longxi.

The river valley is rich in water and grass, and the land is fertile.

Qianghu was born and multiplied according to this place.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Qiang people no longer relied solely on nomadic herding to survive, and many people learned to farm with the Han people and cultivated in Hehuang.

It's the crisp season of autumn.

The weather in the Central Plains and even Guanzhong still has some residual heat from the scorching heat, and the river has a cool breeze.

A cavalry army crossed the Datong River and went upstream.

The two people who were the leaders, one was Zhuge Jun, and the other was Zhao Yun.

"Brother Zilong, if you go further, you will enter the territory of Burning Dangqiang, please pay more attention."

Zhuge Jun suddenly opened his mouth to remind, Zhao Yun nodded silently, and waved his hand to the little colonel behind him, and the knights of the horse team took out their shields one after another, prepared their bows and arrows, and then straddled the horse's back to facilitate unsheathing. The prototype of this horse team was the Flying Bear Ride. However, with Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan leading an army alone, the Flying Bear Cavalry was quickly separated and became two independent cavalry armies......

The cavalry army under Zhao Yun is called Yafeng Cavalry, which means that the action is like lightning, and the speed is like an arrow off the string.

And Xiahou Lan's department was renamed Wudang Ride.

All of them are heavily armored knights, and the weapons used are all broadswords and spears.

Nothing should mean that no one can stop you. It also represents the characteristics of Xiahoulan's troops and horses.

These two cavalry armies. It is also the cavalry that Liu Chuang attaches the most importance to. This time, he accompanied Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan to fight in Liangzhou. From a certain Cheng dù, it also shows Liu Chuang's determination to win Liangzhou. Xiahou Lan is now stationed in Fengyi Mountain, responsible for containing Cao Ren's soldiers and horses.

And Zhao Yun's light cavalry, after joining Ma Chao, was ordered by Xu Shu to protect Zhuge Jun and come to Hehuang.

Zhuge Jun's mission to enter the river this time is very important.

He will take on the task of dividing the Hehuang Qiang people to ensure Ma Chao's victory in the battle of Jincheng Hansui.

It was said before. The number of Han people in Jincheng is small, and the number of people who register is even smaller. The entire Jincheng is mostly based on naturalized Qiang Hu, and Han Sui's main reliance is to burn Lao Qiang. However, with the migration of the old Qiang in the previous time, it caused turmoil in the river. Many Qiang people are difficult to leave their homeland, especially some Qiang people who rely on agriculture for their livelihood, and they are even more reluctant to leave easily.

The most important thing is that the old Qiang and Qiang Wang Ke are the most domineering.

His tribe. occupy the best land in the Hehuang Valley, and those migrating Qianghu. will not be able to obtain enough living space.

Qianghu and Xiongnu Xianbei people, like each other, are also fighting with each other.

Burn when Lao Qiang has long had the intention to dominate the river, but he suffers from no opportunities and excuses.

Once those Qiang tribes lose their land, they will be like rootless wanderers, and it will not be long before they will be completely annexed by Lao Qiang.

In this regard, those Qiang tribes naturally refused to agree.

Lao Qiang took the opportunity to conquer and angered some Qiang tribal leaders. These leaders immediately joined forces and prepared to fight against Lao Qiang.

As Liu Chuang's representative, he is also the chief mastermind of Ma Chao's side.

Xu Shu has always been concerned about the situation in Liangzhou, and the civil strife in Hehuang has also come into his eyes.

If Lao Qiang unifies Hehuang, he will definitely become a problem for Liangzhou's henchmen. When the time comes, those Qianghu will have a main body, and they will be attached to Liangzhou one after another. This was by no means the result that Xu Shu was willing to see, so he sent a message to Liu Chuang in early May, intending to use the opportunity of crusading against Han Sui to solve the Hehuang Qiang Rebellion.

Liu Chuang attaches great importance to this.

Although it is said that during the Three Kingdoms period in history, the Qiang people were not unified, and they did not pose much threat to the Central Plains. But one thing must be admitted, the Three Kingdoms have been in turmoil for a hundred years, and the Liangzhou Qiang Rebellion has never stopped.

Cao Cao appeased him several times, but the effect was not obvious.

This, of course, also has the credit of the future Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, who has been wooing and recruiting Qianghu after he helped Liu Bei occupy Xishu.

However, with the end of the war in the Central Plains, the Three Kingdoms returned to Jin.

The Qiang people did have a brief unification, and caused tragic damage to the Central Plains and the Han people.

Of course, Liu Chuang will not sit idly by and watch the burning to grow, if he adds Han Sui, an ambitious careerist, it will inevitably produce a huge disaster. Therefore, after Xu Shu's report was sent to him, Liu Chuang immediately agreed, and gave Xu Shu full authority to take charge of the matter.

After Xu Shu occupied Zu Li, he did not continue to attack.

He first tried to secretly contact Wei Duan and others, and under the pretense of Liu Chuang's name, he appeased Wei Duan and other Liangzhou scholars.

Later, with the surrender of Zhong Xuan, the attitude of Wei Duan and others also quietly changed. After repeated negotiations with Xu Shu, Wei Duan agreed that Ma Chao would take revenge on Han Sui, and Haoqiang of Liangzhou would not interfere in the matter. And as a price, Xu Shu must return Zu Li and retreat to the Yuyin River.

Xu Shu has no objection to this.

He knew very well that Liu Chuang did not have enough strength to annex Liangzhou now.

If you want to forcibly use troops, the final result can only be to cheapen Cao Cao, so that Wei Duan and others completely fall to Guanzhong.

That's not a good thing...... You must know that although the Liangzhou scholars submitted to Cao Cao on the surface, they have always been an independent individual. They were courtiers and were willing to obey Cao Cao's orders. However, if Cao Cao really wanted to meddle in the affairs of Liangzhou, it would be extremely difficult. In the original history, Ma Chao raised troops and killed Wei Duan's son Wei Kang, which really threatened the interests of the Liangzhou scholars, and forced the Liangzhou scholars to completely fall to Cao Cao, so that Cao Cao could take advantage of the opportunity to infiltrate the land of Liangzhou.

Sometimes, the more barren and bitter cold the place, the more closed it is, the more xenophobic it is.

On the contrary, those places that are rich, have large populations, and prosperous commerce, will be relatively weaker in terms of xenophobia......

Now that Liu Chuang wants to control Liangzhou, it will definitely not work if he doesn't have a good relationship with Wei Duan, a scholar from Liangzhou. Only by getting Wei Duan and these people willing to cooperate sincerely can he intervene.

Xu Shu also understands this truth, so at a critical time. Or make a concession.

Wei Duan preserved the integrity of Hanyang, Longxi, and Anding. can get such a strong reinforcement from Liu Chuang. And so it goes. He can survive and develop in the cracks, and use the contradiction between Liu Chuang and Cao Cao to strengthen himself, which is also very fruitful......

However, how to naturalize Hehuang is also a problem that Xu Shu must face.

After consulting Yang Fu, Xu Shu decided to send an envoy to Hehuang to divide Qianghu.

Doesn't Burndang want to be a big family? Those Qiang tribes who oppose Lao Qiang can become a force against Lao Qiang.

But. Who to send?

Just when Xu Shu hesitated, Zhuge Jun automatically asked for help.

The kid is not young, and he is gradually showing his talents.

In the battle of the northern land, Zhuge Jun made a plan and used Liu Chuang's swordsman battalion to take Lian County unknowingly, and then Zhang Ji sent troops to rescue, but was defeated by Zhao Yun in one fell swoop. In this battle, Zhuge was well-planned and shrewd.

When he heard that Xu Shu was going to send someone to Hehuang, Zhuge didn't say a word. He expressed his willingness to go.

This little guy is against his second brother!

It is different from Zhuge in history. Zhuge in this life has been fully developed. He first followed Liu Chuang, and then entered Nanshan Academy to study, with good knowledge and unparalleled eloquence. And in his heart, he has always wanted to surpass Zhuge Liang, so when he encounters an opportunity, he refuses to let it go. Xu Shu also appreciated Zhuge Jun's competitiveness, and the two became close friends.

Of course, he wanted to fulfill Zhuge Jun, but he just let Zhuge Jun go alone, but he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Therefore, he asked Zhao Yun and asked Zhao Yun to accompany him.

First, Zhao Yun is brave and martial, and he can protect Zhuge Jun; Second, this battle of Jincheng is Ma Chao's revenge battle. Although Zhao Yun is the son-in-law of the Ma family, Ma Chao doesn't want Zhao Yun to be involved, he hopes to rely on his own strength to solve Han Sui.

Zhao Yun had no choice but to withdraw.

But Xu Shu thinks it's a pity to let Zhao Yun be so idle.

Zhao Yun is also Ma Chao's brother-in-law, so he asked him to go to Hehuang for a while, which can be regarded as revenge for his dead father-in-law, and it will not make Ma Chao feel unhappy.

Zhao Yun gladly accepted the order.

The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.

This is almost a true portrayal of Hehuang, which only surprised Zhuge Jun along the way.

He and Zhao Yun talked in a low voice as they hurried.

At this moment, they suddenly heard news from the front that a team of Qiang horsemen was walking towards them......

"Arrows on the string, formation!"

Zhao Yun didn't say a word, and immediately gave the order.

Yafeng Riding was born from the Flying Bear Rider, all of them are one in a hundred warriors, and they have undergone rigorous training and fight again and again.

Hearing that there was an enemy, Ya Feng rode without panic at all, and formed a goose formation in an instant, and one by one the arrows were wound on the horse.

In the distance, a group of Qiang cavalry was rapidly approaching.

From the speed of the other party's running, Zhao Yun saw the clue: the comer was not good.

"Ziheng, and retreat to the Chinese army, the people who sent the dead are here."

As Zhao Yun spoke, he suddenly urged the horse forward, raised his hand and took off the big gun.

He pulled the silver mask from his helmet down, covering most of his face, revealing only his mouth and chin.

The sunlight shone on the mask, reflecting a dazzling silver light. Seeing that Qiang cavalry getting closer and closer, it showed no signs of slowing down.

Zhao Yun was even more sure that this Qiang cavalry was by no means a good type.

"Yafeng, run!"

As soon as he gave the order, eight hundred arrows roared out behind him, and rushed towards the Qiang horseman.

Seeing that he was in range, he opened his bow and released his arrows. In an instant, arrows rained down and shot towards the Qiang people rushing from the opposite side. Qiang Cavalry obviously didn't expect this Han army to be so bold. This is in Hehuang, they dare to attack the Qiang people?

However, it is too late to regret it.

The Qiang riders who rushed to the front fell off their horses one after another in a series of screams.

After a round of shooting, the two sides were already close. Immediately they put away their bows and arrows, drew their swords from their sheaths, and charged at each other.

"Who is the thief?"

Zhuge Jun had no fear on his face, and urged the horse to come to Zhao Yun's side and asked softly.

Zhao Yun's face was expressionless, and he sat firmly on his paw Huang Feidian, "A group of clowns who jump off the beam, what does it matter where he comes from?" (To be continued......)

ps: Somehow these days, people are a little lazy and listless.

There are only three watches, one watch will be presented first, and the remaining two watches will be delivered before twelve o'clock.

I'm sorry!!!
