Yang Fu nodded and said, "Yes, these Di people are all on the edge of Longxi and Yinping County, and it is not easy to manage. And these Di people went so far to escape the rule of the general. Fu thought that it was just a good opportunity to send troops to deter, and the general could not only send people to manage the Di people, but also let the Qiang troops run in. And the general experienced a big war last year, and this year is indeed not suitable for pacifying Liangzhou and the Qiang people. Therefore, Fu thought that this year, let General Ma's army train and run in with the Di people, and next year cooperate with the general's army to pacify Liangzhou with a thunderous momentum. ”

Zhang Xiu touched the short beard on his chin and said: "It makes sense, but now that the Qiang Rebellion under Han Sui is almost pacified, it is a good time to send troops to attack Han Sui, if you wait until next year after Han Sui's vitality recovers, I am afraid it will take a lot of effort to conquer Han Sui." ”

Yang Fu heard it and laughed: "General, Zhuo has a strategy that can make the disaster under Han Sui's rule come back." Seeing Zhang Xiu, he showed a curious look. Yang Fu said: "The Qiang people who rebelled under Han Sui were all small Qiang tribes, with few weapons and little grain and grass, so the rebellion was so easy to be suppressed by Han Sui. The general only needs to send someone to give them some grain, grass and weapons, then they will continue to oppose Han Sui, so that they can continue to weaken the strength of Han Sui and the Qiang tribe such as Xian Lingqiang who supported Han Sui, and can also win the hearts of these small Qiang tribes. It's easier to pacify Liangzhou. ”

After listening to this, Zhang Xiu nodded and praised: "What Shoucheng said is not bad, Yishan is really not talented, and the general's mansion is still lacking, I don't know if Yishan can help the general." ”

Yang Fu smiled slightly, got up and said, "General Xie appreciates." ”

Yang Fu was also a little surprised in his heart when he spoke, the status of the Great General's Mansion was not low, but very high. Zhang Xiu is a big official who can open the government system, and after the establishment of the government, Changshi is the highest-ranking subordinate official, that is, the position held by Jia Xu, which can be said to be the big butler of the general's mansion. Immediately behind him was the other Sima. This other Sima was mainly in charge of the troops, and now the position is held by Zhang Xiu's henchman Zhou Cang, who commands Pangu Lishi as Zhang Xiu's guard battalion. It can be seen that this official position is not low, and he is Zhang Xiu's confidant, and it is easy to be promoted in the future.

Zhang Xiu was a little surprised by the smooth progress of this trip, but when she turned her head and thought about it, she felt that it was actually reasonable. Now he Zhang Xiu is no longer a little general under Dong Zhuo back then, and he can catch birds in the court. The current Zhang Xiu can be said to be one of the most powerful princes in the entire Han Dynasty, and according to the Sanqin dangerous land, there are Wanluo, Hanzhong, Hedong and other places as outposts, which can really be said to be offensive and defensible. If Zhang Xiu's forces can't recruit talents, it will be a real accident.

Since Yang Zhuo had just come back, Zhang Xiu and the others decided to stay at Yang Fu's house for one night, and only after Yang Fu had cleaned up did they return to Tianshui to see the leaders of Ginseng Wolf Qiang and Baima Qiang.

When having dinner with Yang Zhuo and others; Zhang Xiu suddenly remembered that the surname Jiang was a big family in the Tianshui area, which was similar to the family, but it was a little different from the Kanto family. The Kanto family is an official for many generations, and the family background is prominent, this family is not as prominent as the family, and there are not many ancestors who can be prominent officials for a while, so they are not called the family, but only the family.

There are a lot of talents in this big family, and one is not just one or two, but a batch. So Zhang Xiu asked Jiang Xu: "Bo Yi." Your martial arts are not bad, but there are still brothers in the clan who are skilled? ”

Jiang Xu thought for a while and said: "Back to the lord, the brothers in the clan are the eldest, and most of the rest are young now, so they can't be used. There was one person. It's a brother of the Syrians. The age is still younger than Zhiyi Mountain, the name is Jiang Pu, and the martial arts are only under the clan in the clan. If the general is interested, he can send him a letter. ”

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he was shocked in his heart: "Jiang Pu? That's him. After reading in his heart, he nodded and said, "Okay, Bo Yi will go to Tianshui and write a letter to recruit him." After a pause, Zhang Xiu asked again: "By the way, look at Bo Yi, you can't be married at your age?" ”

Jiang Xu, a big man, heard this, shook his head with a red face, and said, "Not yet, but the clan has already set a marriage, and it should be married after the New Year." ”

Zhang Xiu saw it and laughed: "The man should get married." Why should Bo Yi be shy. By the way, what about your brother? Have you ever been married? ”

Jiang Xu said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, the elders of the clan have already made a marriage for the younger brother." However, the woman is still a few years old before she gets married. ”

Zhang Xiu listened and nodded with a smile. said secretly: "Very good, since you have already made a marriage, your father and mother are here, Jiang Wei, you can't get out." ”

Why do you say why Zhang Xiu cares so much about this Jiang Garden. In fact, it is not because of Jiang Pu himself, but because of his son Jiang Wei. Among the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty. Except for those who are both father and son, it is difficult for the rest to remember these talented fathers or sons. But there is only one exception, and that is Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei is naturally very famous, his father is actually not famous, and it is only briefly mentioned in the history books. But Zhang Xiu was so impressed by him, it was his name, Jiang Pu. Before Zhang Xiu crossed, the word 圃 had another meaning. When Zhang Xiuchu heard Jiang Wei's father call Jiang Pu, he laughed for a long time. That's why I'm impressed.

Next to him, Yang Zhuo felt that there was something wrong with Zhang Xiu. But I couldn't guess anything, I just thought that Zhang Xiu was concerned about Jiang Xu's brothers, so I didn't think about it anymore.

Zhang Xiu always maintained a bright smile during the meal, in fact, it was normal for Zhang Xiu to be happy. At the end of the Three Kingdoms, Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui, who were one of the few who could be called handsome, both of their fathers were under their command. After they are born, they only need to be carved a little. It's the best jade. Of course, Zhang Xiu may actually take the risk of changing history, but it doesn't matter, their parents are not bad, Zhong Xuan needless to say, no matter how bad Jiang Pu is, he is also a deputy general. However, Deng Ai, who had an entanglement with the two of them, did not know where he was at this time.

After dinner, everyone rested in peace. Nothing was said all night. Early the next morning, Zhang Xiu and others went to Tianshui together, although Yang Fu was a scribe. But the people of Liangzhou do not know how to ride a horse, and Yixian is not far from Tianshui, it comes out in the morning, and it has arrived in Tianshui around noon. After returning to Tianshui, Ma Teng had already gone out to look for the leaders of Wolf Qiang and Bai Ma Qiang, and Du Ji and Hua Xiong were a little surprised that Zhang Xiu had come back so quickly. Zhang Xiu left Yang Fu in the Assassin's Mansion to communicate with Du Ji, and he went with Ma and others to watch the practice of the Liangzhou Corps.

Du Ji and Yang Zhuo were both scribes, so naturally there were topics between scribes, and the two had similar personalities. It's all clear! Fu has lived in Liangzhou for a long time and knows the situation in Liangzhou well. Huan Zhi is stunned by the current Liangzhou Assassin History, although there is Ma Teng, a person who has lived in Liangzhou for a long time, but Ma Teng is a martial artist after all, and he is not as meticulous as a literati when looking at problems. Therefore, Yang Zhuo and Du Yi were left to communicate, and I believe that after the two communicated, they would have more insights into Zhanliangzhou.

Here, Zhang Xiu led Ma and others to participate in the training of the Liangzhou Corps, in fact, the main thing was to help Jiang Xu get acquainted. Zhang Xiu naturally showed his courage in the army, and even picked up Huaxiong, Ma, and Huche, and later fought Huaxiong and Ma alone and joined forces to be undefeated. After reading it, the sergeant of the army naturally respected Zhang Xiu even more, and Jiang Xu also realized that his martial arts were far from the four of them.

On the third day, Jiang Ke also arrived. This Jiang Pu is different from Jiang Xu, a strong man, with a white face and decent facial features. is also a beautiful man. It is said in the romance that Jiang Wei is a beautiful man, what he said is not unreasonable, there should be genetic factors.

After Jiang Pu came, Zhang Xiu directly arranged him under Hua Xiong to serve in the Liangzhou Corps. Zhang Xiu stayed in Tianshui for five days before Ma Teng led the two old men back.

In the Liangzhou Thorn History Mansion, Zhang Xiu sat on the main seat. The civil and military officers were impressively in the column, and the two Qiang elders were sitting in the civil official column.

I saw that the two old men of the Qiang nationality below got up and saluted Zhang Xiu, and said in non-standard Chinese: "In Xia Tashi, Tim is the elder of the Wolf Qiang, and greets the Han general." ”

After Tashiwang finished speaking, the old man behind him also said: "In Xia Teji, Tian is the elder of Baimaqiang, and greets the Han fat cavalry general." ”

Zhang Xiu pressed his hands and said, "The two elders don't need to be polite, and sit down and talk." ”

Tashi and Teji glanced at each other, put their right hands on their chests at the same time, bowed to Zhang Xiu, and said, "We and the thousands of Qiang people living under the rule of the Great General thank the Great General for his help to us, you are our Qiang Nationality forever friend." ”

Zhang Xiu smiled: "The two elders are too polite. Sit down and talk. After speaking, he gave Ma Teng a look. Ma Teng immediately stepped forward and helped the two old men to sit down.

After sitting down, Elder Tashi said, "Thank you for the help of the Great General to our Qiang people. We Qiang people all know that the general treats me Qiang people sincerely, not like other Han people, what is the use of the general to get me to participate in the wolf Qiang. To put it bluntly, I will do my best to help the general Tashi After speaking, Teji over there also nodded in agreement.

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "Since this is the case, Ben will be blunt." Han Sui rebelled against thieves and stole Liangzhou for nearly ten years, and he was originally a general of the imperial court. It is his responsibility to eliminate the traitors for the imperial court.

However, it was easy to destroy Han Sui, but the Qiang tribes with the first Lingqiang all supported Han Sui, but the general was afraid that the crusade against Han Sui would provoke Han and Qiang contradictions, and make the Han and Qiang people suffer

Hearing this, Teji said, "What does the general think?" ”

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "I would have thought that the problems of the Qiang people should be solved by the Qiang people themselves. Ben Jiang wanted to invite the two elders to gather some Qiang warriors and go out with Ben Jiang when Ben Jiang went out to fight against Han Sui. If Han Sui is destroyed. First Lingqiang and other Qiang tribes obey the rule of Ben General, which is naturally good. If they are not satisfied, ask the warriors of the Wolf Qiang and the White Horse Qiang to defeat them first, and then cooperate with the general to govern. This will not provoke contradictions between Han and Qiang. The methods of governance are generally implemented according to the current general, and the Qiang people can go to the university to study and take the imperial examination to become officials, which is no different from the Han people. One.

When the two elders heard this, they were surprised at the same time: "Is this true? ”

Zhang Xiu nodded and said: "Yes, this move will be implemented under the rule of this general, but since the Liangzhou Academy has not yet been built, it has not been announced, and now the two elders are here, and the general will not hide it from the two elders."

Tashi listened, a look of disbelief. asked: "Can we Qiang people really be Han officials?" Zhang Xiu nodded solemnly and said, "What the general said will never be an umbrella." ”

Tashi and Teji glanced at each other, and Tashi said, "Don't worry, general, I will join the wolf and choose 20,000 warriors to fight with the general." ”

Teji also spoke: "I, Baimaqiang, are the same, and the two of us can help the general to collect 20,000 warriors from various Qiang tribes, and a total of 60,000 Qiang warriors will be dispatched by the general."

Zhang Xiu was overjoyed and said: "This is very good, but these 60,000 warriors are not listening to the orders of the generals, but to the orders of your Qiang people." ”

Tashi heard this and wondered, "Listen to our orders?" But now, although there are many warriors in our department, they are not all convinced, and although we are friendly with Wolf Qiang and Baima Qiang, it is not possible to ask our warriors to obey the orders of other troops. ”

Zhang Xiu said: "Since it is to govern Qiang with Qiang, it is naturally difficult for this general to interfere. As for the leading generals. Ben has a candidate in mind, how about you listen to it? ”

The two of them nodded at the same time and said, "General, let's say." ”

Zhang Xiu pointed to the horse and said: "The candidate for the leading general would have thought that Ma Shoucheng was the son of Ma Shoucheng." Ma Mengqi can be in this position. Her mother is the granddaughter of Elder Teji, and she is also a member of the White Horse Qiang. And as far as the general knows, the Qiang warriors are all subdued by Meng Qi, and it is best for Meng Qi to lead the troops. ”

Hearing this, Teji nodded and said, "What the general said is very true. Meng Qi grew up under the personal watch, and his martial arts were recognized as the first in Liangzhou, and everyone in the ministry was also convinced, and the old man naturally agreed

Tashi also nodded and said, "If Meng Qi leads the troops, I have no objection to joining the wolf." ”

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case." The general asked Meng Qi to go back with the two elders to reorganize the army. ”

When Tashi heard this, he was surprised: "The general is ready to raise troops immediately? ”

Zhang Xiu shook his head and said: "No, Ben Jiang experienced a big war last year, and it is not good to be a sword soldier at this time, so this is not the time to conquer Han Sui." The Di and Rong tribes in Longxi and Yinping counties did not accept the rule of the general. The strength of these two clans is not too strong, just let Meng Qi lead the army to conquer these two clans, not only to level these two clans, but also to let Meng Qi train, although the soldiers of the Wolf Qiang and Baimaqiang and other tribes are brave, but the first Lingqiang has repeatedly violated Guanzhong for ten years, and the combat power cannot be underestimated, so I would have thought that Meng Qi could train with these two clans for a year, and then follow the general to conquer Fusui and Xian Lingqiang and other Qiang tribes next year

Tashi heard it and praised: "The general really knows the art of war, and Tashi admires it." In that case, we will do as the general said, and we will immediately go back and gather the warriors, and let Meng Qi lead them to conquer the Di and Rong tribes
