Bei Zhangxiu continued! , "The herald Hua army talked about the three counties of Jincheng, Xinjian and Anding, and the remaining four counties taken by Meng Qi, Ziyi and Ling Ming. also let Huaxiong send troops to follow and garrison all over the place. The more than 30,000 Qiang soldiers who had been funded by the general to raise troops against Han Sui were also under the command of Hua Xiong

In this way, Huaxiong's Liangzhou Corps increased to 100,000 troops, for guarding such a vast border as Liangzhou, 100,000 troops were actually enough, and the army of Qiang Qin guarding the northwest border was more than today's Huaxiong.

After a pause, Zhang Xiu said: "Let Bohou send the officials to the counties as soon as possible, move the Liangzhou Governance Office back to Wuwei, and then order Zilong, Yishan and Gongying of Jincheng to cooperate with Bohou's governance of Liangzhou." It is necessary to stabilize all parts of Liangzhou before the end of the year. Ben will sit in Liangzhou during this time to shake the night"

After Zhang Xiu's series of orders were issued, everyone under his command quickly took action, because they had long expected that they would march into Liangzhou this year, so last year's liberal arts and science examination recruited many more officials, and they were also sent to Anding and Tianshui at the same time as Zhang Xiu's army. Now that Zhang Xiu gave an order, they entered the counties of Liangzhou to take up their posts, and at the same time, in order to ensure their safety, Zhang Xiu asked Huaxiong to send troops to protect them. Now there are Zhang Xiu's troops in the whole Liangzhou and even some small counties, and the number of troops in these places may not be large, but if there is a rebellion in Liangzhou, Zhang Xiu can immediately mobilize a large army to exterminate it.

In addition, Zhang Xiu himself sat in Liangzhou, and the prestige of the gun king in the north made all the Hu in Liangzhou dare not make any changes, especially in the battle under Jincheng, Zhang Xiu used crossbow arrows to kill a large number of Han Sui's soldiers and Qiang people who assisted in the war in a short time. This rumor has become more and more widespread, and now it has become Zhang Xiu's killing of 100,000 troops by himself, and it has even bluffed the Hu people in Liangzhou not to move.

Jincheng, Wuwei and Anding successfully completed the work of spring plowing and replanting. Among these three counties, half of Anding was originally in Zhang Xiu's hands, and now it is not so difficult to take the other half back to govern, Wuwei and Jincheng each have generals and Wenchen. Officials were able to carry out their work smoothly. In order to let these three counties return to their hearts as soon as possible, Zhang Xiu reduced or exempted the field tax in these three places, and even the entry tax of merchants who entered the city to do business was also reduced. And the Hu people's goods here are cheaper than those in Tianshui. Therefore, the merchants are willing to go some way. Go to Jincheng and Wuwei to do business.

The trade routes to the west extended to Wuwei and Jincheng, and Zhang Xiu's administration gave preferential treatment to the Qiang people and Zhuhu. The beneficiary Zhuhu began to no longer resist Zhang Xiu. And gradually accepted Zhang Xiu's governance, and at the end of the fourth year of Jian'an, except for some remote areas and occasional rebellions, most of Liangzhou basically accepted Zhang Xiu's governance.

The three counties of Dunhuang, Zhangye, and Jiuquan in the northwest are all sparsely populated places, except for the original trade route to the Western Regions, a limited number of ruined cities, surrounded by deserts and grasslands. Therefore, Zhang Xiu only sent troops to garrison these cities, as well as the Great Wall to the north. Due to weather and geographical factors, these three counties cannot grow food at all, and it is a waste of money and grain for Zhang Xiu to send too many people to control it. It was useless to send too few men, so after consulting with a few advisers, it was decided to garrison the cities leading to the trade routes of the Western Regions. When the trade route is reopened. Zhang Xiu was ready to send troops to guard the trade routes from time to time. To protect the safety of the people, troops will be sent regularly to exterminate horse thieves and sand thieves. This is the only way to rule these three counties.

As for the Northland County, it was naturally easy to have Pang De and Tai Shici to make a move, and in less than three months, the entire Northland County was taken, and Huaxiong followed and sent troops to station. Tai Shici and Pang De directly led their troops to attack Bingzhou, and only stopped after hitting Jingbian. For example, Zhang Xiuchu expected that Yuan Shao did not thunder or send a letter to question, but more as if he did not know about it.

Zhang Xiu set Liangzhou with the momentum of thunder, and basically subdued Liangzhou Zhuhu with force as a deterrent in a year. Of course, this is just relying on force to subdue them, and it will take a long time for these Hu people to be completely convinced.

At the end of autumn, Taishi Ci Er Pang De and Ma also collected their troops and returned to Wuwei one by one, but Zhang Xiu invited the largest 36 Qiang tribes and 13 Di tribes, as well as the leaders of the Rong tribe, Xianbei and Xiongnu who lived in Liangzhou to accept Zhang Xiu's governance, and all invited them to Weicheng.

Zhang Xiu had already planned to invite a group of Hu people, so Wuwei's Taishou Mansion was also expanded.

The current Wuwei Taishou Mansion is full of all the leaders of Zhuhu and the civil and military ministers under Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu sat on the main seat, looked around at the Hu collar below, first raised the wine tendons, and said: "Today, all the leaders gathered in Wuwei at the invitation of this general, it is really rare, drink a cup together, please!" After saying that, he drank the wine in one gulp. Whether the Hu collars below were sincerely convinced by Zhang Xiu or afraid of Zhang Xiu's strong force, they did not dare to wipe Zhang Xiu's face at this time, and they also raised their wine cups and drank them all.

When the liquor goes down, it's like a fire. and it is like a knife cut. The late autumn in Liangzhou was already cold, and there was a light snow a few days earlier. After a glass of this wine, all the beards and foreheads sweated slightly, and the strength of this wine can be seen.

However, these Hu Lingling did not dislike it. Instead, they laughed loudly: "Thank you to the Han people for the good wine"

Zhang Xiu put down the wine tendons and said, "I invite you to bring it here today to thank you for your support to this general. And everyone knows that the general's army has captured the Yumen Pass, and outside the Yumen Pass are the countries of the Western Regions. The land of Liangzhou is bitter cold, and the people of Liangzhou cannot be fed and clothed only by farming and grazing, and the trade route to the Western Regions in the early Han Dynasty made Liangzhou prosperous. And Ben Jiang has already had a lot of contact with the Bushan Kingdom of the Western Regions, and has a lot of knowledge of the current situation in the Western Regions, and Ben will prepare to open up the trade routes in the Western Regions next year, and then Liangzhou will prosper again. ”

Shen Langqiang came this time as the leader of the ministry, and after listening to what Zhang Xiu said, he immediately responded: "The general has a great kindness to us, and he spares no effort for the people of Liangzhou. I, the wolf, will fully support the general. ”

After the leader of the wolf Qiang finished speaking, the Baimaqiang next to him and other Qiang tribes, Di tribes, Rong tribes and other tribes who had already taken refuge in Zhang Xiu began to support them.

Zhang Xiu and Shen Wolf Qiang led this singing and harmony. The leaders are not stupid people, and they can guess that Zhang Xiu invited them this time to make a statement. Those who support Zhang Xiu can follow Zhang Xiu to eat meat and drink wine, and if they resist, it will be the end of the army's conquest.

Since now Shenwolf Qiang and Baima Qiang have replaced Xian Lingqiang, they have become the two largest Qiang tribes. Xian Lingqiang can only be ranked third, coupled with Zhang Xiu's strength, many small Qiang departments have expressed their support and echo. The Di and Rong ethnic groups mainly live in the Longxi and Yinping areas. These Hu tribes were subjugated by Ma last year, but their lives under Zhang Xiu's rule were better than before, so they all supported them.

In Liangzhou, the Qiang and Di ethnic groups are the most, and the Xianbei and Xiongnu are only small groups living in clusters, and they cannot be the masters. Now most of the leaders of the Qiang and Di tribes have expressed their support, which is virtually to establish the identity of the lord of Zhang Xiuliangzhou.

Sure enough, after most of the Zhuhu tribes supported it, Shen Wolf Qiang's words said: "The general is brave and powerful, and he is for the benefit of the people of Liangzhou, and I Shen Wolf Qiang proposes to respect the general as the general of my Qiang tribe Shenwei Tian, and lead the Qiang tribes." ”

As soon as these words came out, the big and small Qiang clan leaders were shocked, and when the Qiang leaders heard it, they stood up and scolded angrily: "What do you mean by this? Playing a Han to lead my Qiang tribe? This is luring the wolf into the house, you are my Qiang sinner! ”

Wolf Qiang Ling snorted coldly and said, "What do you know. The general has already said it. I Qiang people deal with the affairs of my Qiang people, and the general will not ask half a point. And in the governance of Tianshui, you can see that the general is really treating my Qiang people, and now the children in my Wolf Qiang are already in Shangmeng, if they can pass the imperial examination, they can also be an official in Liangzhou. After the general's governance, I have enough food to survive the winter this year, and no one needs to starve to death and freeze to death, which is all the general's credit! ”

The Qiang people deal with the affairs of the clan themselves, and what Zhang Xiu wants is that the Qiang people obey themselves in major affairs, and Zhang Xiu's idea is taken from those modern autonomous regions to govern these Hu people, and this method is undoubtedly the most suitable.

Many Qiang tribesmen and leaders heard that Zhang Xiu would not interfere in the affairs of their clan, but only needed them to go to Chang'an once a year to see Zhang Xiu. are acceptable. This is no different from what it is now. It's just that Zhang Xiu's authority has actually been established. Among them, there is a lot of Qiang leaders who have a big conflict, that is, the weapons in the clan are restricted. However, in the end, under Zhang Xiu's deterrence and the advice of the leaders such as Wolf Qiang and Bai Ma Qiang, they all accepted this article one after another.

Xian Lingqiang saw that the general trend had gone, and knew that he was powerless to stop it, and if he didn't agree, it would be the end of the extinction. I had no choice but to agree.

The subordinates agreed, and the leader of the wolf and Qiang took the lead and said: "In this case, we will make an alliance with blood and respect the general of the Han people as my Yaoren Shenweitian general!" ”

The ceremony of the blood alliance had been prepared for a long time, and the guards took the bowl, and Zhang Xiu first bit his finger and dripped the blood into the bowl. After that, it started with the wolf and qiang collars, and all the large and small collars all dropped blood one by one. In addition to the Qiang people, the Di people, the Rong people, the Xianbei people, the Xiongnu, in short, the Hu people everywhere have to drop blood one by one. In the end, they were all mixed in several jars of wine, and they were divided into two jars for everyone to drink. After the ceremony, everyone began to drink and eat, and most of the leaders were still happy, and only a few of them sat down for a while and left with a dark face.

The news that Zhang Xiu was in Liangzhou Wuwei Conference and led all the Hu and small troops in Liangzhou and made a bloody alliance was transmitted back to the Central Plains, and the princes were greatly surprised to hear it. The Qiang disaster has been going on for a long time, and the court can't either ask for it or appease it

And the princes also felt that after Zhang Xiu won Guanzhong, he would start to have a headache for the border troubles in Liangzhou. How do you know that a year after Zhang Xiu won Guanzhong. This news came, which proved that the border trouble in Liangzhou was basically solved by Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Xiu had no worries from then on. What made the princes feel even more inappropriate was that after getting Liangzhou, Zhang Xiu had a natural grassland to feed the horses, and the war horses were endless, and he didn't have to spend a lot of grain and grass to feed the war horses, which was where the princes were deeply worried, because the Liangzhou iron cavalry was too powerful.

In the fourth year of Jian'an, in addition to the big news that Zhang Xiu pacified Liangzhou, the situation in the Kanto region has changed again. Yuan Shao of Hebei continued to besiege Gongsun Zhan, who was trapped in Yijing, which was no longer big news. Anyone with the slightest insight knows that Gongsun Chan's defeat is only a matter of time.

The key is who is on the side of Nan and Xuzhou, Cao Cao broke through Shouchun, burned down the palace built by Yuan Shu, and then retreated back to Xuchang. Yuan Shu sent troops from Runan and Huaibei in the spring to recapture Huainan. And took advantage of Sun Ce's carelessness in Lujiang to send troops to capture Hefei. Locked the road north of the Lujiang River into Shouchun.

Yuan Shu regained his momentum in Huainan, and Lu Bu on the Xuzhou side lost a lot of troops due to the previous two battles with Yuan Shu, while Liu Bei's strength gradually increased. Lu Bu felt deeply inappropriate, so he repaired the book and repaired with Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu also felt that it was inappropriate to be isolated, so he also agreed to reconcile with Lu Bu. Under the combination of the two, Lu Bu invited Yuan Shu to send troops to attack Liu Bei, and finally defeated Liu Bei at the end of the fourth year of Jian'an, and Liu Bei had to lead Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Xuchang to defect to Cao Cao. He was played by Cao Cao as the pastor of Yuzhou. Give Liu Bei soldiers and horses, and let him still garrison Xiaopei.

Time soon stepped into the fifth year of Jian'an.

Chang'an once again came with news that shocked the princes, and the fat cavalry general Zhang Xiuzuo asked the imperial court to seal the captured general Ma as the general of Fuyuan, so that he could lead the troops to the Western Regions and rebuild the Western Regions to govern the Western Regions.

As soon as this news came out, all the princes knew that if Ma Xi's expedition was successful, the capital of the Western Regions would be rebuilt. If the trade routes of the Western Regions are opened, then Kansai will no longer be desolate, and the prosperity of the pre-Han period will be restored. And all the princes know that those small countries in the Western Regions can't stop Zhang Xiu's army at all, and they don't have the ability to stop Zhang Xiu's westward expedition, so Zhang Xiu's reopening of the Western Regions trade route is a sure thing.

Liu Zhang, Liu Biao, and Yuan Shao, who were adjacent to Zhang Xiu's territory and had not had a very good relationship, all of them sought out strategists to discuss countermeasures, but the discussions were fruitless. And even Cao Cao, who was in the Sizhang Embroidery Alliance, was surprised when he heard the news.

With the opening of the trade routes in the Western Regions, Zhang Xiu was no longer a prince who relied only on force, and the trade routes would transport a steady stream of wealth from the Western Regions to Chang'an. Confucianism does not speak of profit, but whether it is the princes, their advisers, or the family members all know that in addition to strong soldiers, money and food are needed to fight a war. Zhang Xiubing's strong horses, the important grain-producing areas of Zhongzhong, Hanzhong, Sili and Nanyang, plus the commercial routes that will be opened up in the next one to two years to accumulate wealth. Under the rule, there were famous people in the schools and palaces to give lectures. In addition, more than 30,000 volumes of books were collected, and the scholars of the poor families were constantly cultivated, and finally the outstanding ones were recruited by the method of imperial examinations. People of insight have vaguely seen that Zhang Xiu is gradually revealing that he can determine the world
