Yuan Shang and Zhao Yunjunchen brothers, Ma Chao and Ma Teng generals father and son, dragon and tiger reunited outside Tianshui, joined forces, the soldiers were strong, and Yan Xing's soldiers and horses fled west, intending to turn over.

And almost at the same time as the Tianshui gathered, Pang De had already led the army to break the iron car formation of Cheriji, the Qiang King Cheriji was killed by Pang De himself, Marshal Yueji was stabbed to death by Zhang Xiu, the Qiang soldiers lost their commander, and all the iron cars were like scrap iron and could not be used, unable to resist, Prime Minister Yadan had no choice but to lead the rest of the Qiang people to surrender.

This battle was very fruitful, not only killed the Qiang King of the Western Regions, Cheriji and Marshal Yueji, and recruited the rebel Qiang led by Prime Minister Yadan, but most importantly, countless iron chariots, blades, horses, mules, camels and other livestock! Not to mention anything else, just selecting well-armored horses from livestock can immediately replenish the Guanzhong army with a powerful cavalry!

After the victory, Pang De escorted Prime Minister Yadan to Tianshui, Yuan Shang did not embarrass him, but treated him kindly, and promised that after the surrender, the Qiang and Han families would not be separated, which made Yadan very moved, and expressed his willingness to serve Yuan Shang with all his heart.

Yuan Shang left Yadan under the tent, and sent people to Luoyang to invite the imperial court, and specially appointed him as a special envoy to the Western Regions for the purpose of opening up the Western Regions in the future.

Now, when Yuan Shang is fighting and collecting the defeated army, the Guanzhong Army that he originally planned to build has basically taken shape.

The 30,000 soldiers brought by him will be brought back to Bingzhou: Luoyang's Tianzi Army surrendered 3,000, Hanzhong Zhang Lu and Bazhou Army surrendered 40,000, Chengyi, Yang Qiu, Duan Xuan and other small princes also promised to join the Yuan army after being promoted by the edict and knighthood, adding up to more than 30,000, Song Jian's Caohan counter-army surrendered 50,000 or 60,000, Cheriji's Qiang soldiers from the Western Regions surrendered from Yadan to about 890,000, the Qiang people who promised Ma Teng to return to Shun offered 20,000 or 30,000, plus Zhao Yun's Yongzhou remnant army in Tianshui was about 10,000, and the Jingzhao region threw out local garrison forces. There are about 20,000 Chang'an troops, plus there are some who were scattered before. The defeated army that is still coming to surrender......

After a rough overall plan, there can be almost more than 300,000! And in the continuous growth of strength, if you count the Qiang households under the jurisdiction of the Qiang tribe who continue to submit to the table, the population will be even more innumerable.

Of course, the so-called more than 300,000 must not all be easy to use, and a large part of the soldiers are still relatively fragile, and they were rushed to the battlefield if they belonged to the kind of soldiers who could not be called soldiers at all.

After Yuan Shang entered Tianshui City, he immediately consulted with Zhao Yun, and he told Zhao Yun that after the civil strife subsided. He will set up Zhang Xiu as the captain of the Qiang school, rectify and regulate the relationship between the Han and the Qiang, and balance the law on the treatment of the Qiang people, he asked Zhao Yun to persevere at that time, assist Zhang Xiu to give equal treatment to the Qiang people, move the Qiang people on the border of Longxi to the east, the more they can move, the better, and use the tuntian system to divide the cultivated land to fill the population and taxes in the interior of Guanzhong.

Iron carts and mules and horses from Cherrigi. In addition to taking a part to fill the reserves of military supplies and war horses, the rest of the iron chariots were all recast and used as farming tools, and there were other mules that could not be used as war horses to distribute to the people who cultivated the land. It is used for farming and resumption of production.

As for the method of dealing with the 300,000 surrendered troops, they imitated Cao Cao's strategy in the early years after pacifying Dongjun to establish the Qingzhou army, and 100,000 people remained. It was called the "Guanzhong Army", and the remaining old and weak soldiers were all anti-farming.

………………

After finishing his thoughts and train of thought, Yuan Shang immediately looked at Zhao Yun. Said: "After the war, the main aftermath of Guanzhong is probably these, of course, after the pacification of Caohan and Hanzhong, the people should also follow this method and move to Guanzhong to enrich domestic demand, and the two places of Caohan and Hanzhong, I want to use Guanzhong as a front-line battlefield in the face of the Western Regions and Xichuan in the future, so as to garrison troops, not to support the people...... That's probably it, is there anything else you feel you need to add? ”

Zhao Yun lowered his head when he heard this, did not speak, and only after a while did he say tentatively: "You are telling me this, don't you still want me to be the governor of Yongliang?" ”

It's no wonder that Zhao Yun asked such a sentence, he made such a big mistake, it is really difficult to say whether Yuan Shang is willing or dares to reuse himself.

Yuan Shang smiled when he heard this.

"Of course, except for Brother Zilong, I can't think of any other candidates who can lead Guanzhong for me, I will not bring back the manpower and materials obtained from the quelling of the rebellion this time, and I will leave you to build Guanzhong, and the newly returned 300,000 'Guanzhong Army' will also be trained and led by you, of course, I suggest that you screen and dismantle, just leave 100,000 strong, and the rest should be returned to Tuntian."

Zhao Yun sighed and said, "You still believe in my ability? ”

Yuan Shang shook his head and said, "Believe? Of course! I never think about things that don't make sense without nutrition, and I don't want to think about it! It's like trusting you, no doubt! ”

Zhao Yun was moved in his heart and sighed: "The lord is very grateful for this heart, but even if you don't blame me, the ministers of Hebei, the generals and colonels of Guanzhong, the officials are only afraid of ......"

Yuan Shang interrupted him: "So, what you have to do next is to lead this newly built Guanzhong army to sweep away the Yongliang Erzhou, and the lost cities in Guanzhong are almost not touched except for the Jingzhao region!" I'm in Tianshui, and you lead the rest of the soldiers and horses to take down all the fallen counties and counties in Yongliang Prefecture as quickly as possible! ”

When Zhao Yun heard this, his heart warmed.

Because of Yan Xing's rebellion against Guanzhong, Zhao Yun's reputation in the Yuan group was greatly affected, and if he was re-appointed as the governor of Yongliang in the future, I am afraid it would be difficult to convince the public, so now Yuan Shang deliberately took advantage of the pacification of Yongliang to give him the opportunity to make contributions, so that he could regain his prestige within the Yuan group and in the land of Guanzhong.

For Yuan Shang's good intentions, how could Zhao Yun not see it, his heart warmed, and he sighed: "The lord is too partial to the last general!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Yuan Shang's face sank and said, "What is this called!" I'm a person, I've always been a bowl of water, fair can't be fairer, I've never done anything favoritism, don't spread rumors for me! ”

“………………”

So, according to Yuan Shang's arrangement, Zhao Yun led the soldiers and horses to quickly pacify the lost land and trap the city of Yongliang and Liangzhou, in fact, this matter is very easy, in the current situation, the victory of the Yuan army is a matter of time, but anyone with long eyes will not be able to resist stubbornly, some places go through the motions, carry out the handover, and the counties that are a little farther away can be directly dealt with with a piece of paper.

During Zhao Yun's pacification of Yongliang, Yuan Shang did not immediately go after Yan Xing, because he knew that it was not enough for Zhao Yun to pacify Yongliang. If you want to regain his prestige and let Zhao Yun completely regain his original self-confidence, he must let Yan Xing fall into his hands!

All grievances started with Yan Xing imprisoning Zhao Yun, and the end of all this was naturally ended by Zhao Yun slashing Yan Xing.

When things come to this point, you just need to rest and recuperate, and after Zhao Yun returns from calming down, you can make a conclusion, and I don't want something unexpected to happen.

On this day, Yuan Shangzheng and Zhang Xiu were inspecting the new army in the school field in Tianshui City, and suddenly saw Jiang Yin, the guard of Tianshui County, hurrying over.

Jiang Jian assisted Zhao Yun to defend Tianshui, and he made a great contribution, and after Zhao Yun's recommendation, he was already promoted by Yuan Shang to the county guard of Tianshui.

Seeing Jiang Jian coming to him with a panicked face and hesitation, Yuan Shang couldn't help but ask curiously, "What?" What happened? ”

Jiang Jian thought about it for a while, and then said stupidly: "Actually...... Nothing ...... big deal."

Yuan Shang smiled when he heard this, and said, "It's not a big deal, look at your face is red?" If you have something, just say it, you have nothing to hide with me, you are the person recommended by Zhao Yun, you don't need to worry about your identity. ”

When Jiang Jian heard this, he said: "Lord, that's the case, you just promulgated the law of equality between Han and Qiang just now, and gave an example around Tianshui County, with the intention of appeasing the Qiang people, I don't want to last night, a small Qiang tribe thirty miles away from here was slaughtered by someone, and only one survivor remained, I don't know who did it...... The lord, the subordinates suspect that this is done by the Han people, and it is clear that they want to provoke the relationship between the Qiang and the Han to openly call out, and ignore the lord, your new law is nothing! ”

Yuan Shang's brows furrowed deeply, and Zhang Xiu was furious when he heard this.

"What a dog thief who doesn't have long eyes! It is really hateful to dare to do such a thing, and this matter must be investigated to the end! Don't be tolerated! ”

Yuan Shang lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said, "You said that there is still a survivor of the Qiang tribe that was slaughtered?" ”

Jiang Jian nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

"Does he know who did it?"

Jiang Jian sighed and shook his head.

"Where is the slaughtered Qiang? I'll see for myself. ”

**********************

The place where it was slaughtered was still emitting a faint smell of black smoke at the moment, and it was obvious that after slaughtering this Qiang tribe, the murderer also laid a fire here and burned the entire tribe into purgatory.

Everywhere there were charred huts and destroyed wood, and a charred corpse that was unrecognizable exuded a pungent smoke that reached everyone's noses and made people feel sick.

Yuan Shang sat on the horse and looked at all this in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

Who is so vicious? Slaughter an entire tribe! If it's just because you're dissatisfied with your own decree, you can do it in some other way, such as demonstrations or whatever...... And the slaughter of innocent people, is it a bit too extreme?

And the person who can slaughter and burn an entire tribe must also have considerable power.

"Where is the survivor? Bring it to me! ”

Jiang Jian glanced at Yuan Shang cautiously and said, "I can't bring it, so I'll lead you over, right?" ”

Yuan Shang was curious when he heard this, but he still followed Jiang Jian towards the depths of the clan.

When I came to a burning camp, I saw a woman in a Qiang costume desperately pulling at the blackened ruins on the ground, her eyes were hollow, her face was bloodless, and she was digging and digging like crazy......

The fair face, the high bridge of the nose, the thin and reddish lips, the yellow hair that welcomes the light, and the pair of light blue glasses, the charm of seducing the soul is unforgettable.

At first glance at this woman, Yuan Shang couldn't help but be stunned, and a word popped up in his heart - blue enchantress.

"............" (To be continued......)
