The rebellion is just the beginning.

As the weather warmed, thieves from all over Longxi rose up to attack Hanmin Fort.

Lintao, Xiangwu, Didao, Baishi and other counties have been invaded by thieves, and when they saw a large Wei army, they retreated, and attacked the west with the help of the sound of the Longxi mountains.

Xiahou Ba was exhausted, but with little success.

In Longxi, the Han people fled to Nan'an.

The thieves became more and more fierce, and Guo Huaidu, who was stationed in Wudu, sent people to inquire about the situation.

This is tantamount to giving Xiahou Ba a slap in the face.

The two were originally incompatible, and everyone in Longyou knew about it.

The Qiang people didn't dare to move Nan'an, didn't dare to move stability, and didn't dare to move Wudu, but staring at Longxi, Yang Zheng faintly felt something.

It is very likely that it is the revenge of Oh He Yaoge.

But one Russian can't afford to set off such a big battle.

Since the establishment of the Three Kingdoms, the alien races in the northwest have been the objects of contention between Wei and Shu.

If the Shu people are involved, it will not be something that Xiahou Ba can solve.

After all, he is his own top boss, and he is not bad for himself.

hurriedly put on a bamboo slip, explaining that there may be other forces behind the Qiang chaos.

As for whether it is a Shu person or a political enemy, it is not that he dares to talk too much.

This raid on Caohan solved the crisis in the west of Longxi, and there was no cavalry in the southern mountains, so Yang Zheng had a chance to rest.

In the face of the increasingly rampant Qiang chaos, the top priority at the moment is naturally to expand the army.

Put up the recruitment flag, and have their own food eaters.

However, what Yang Zheng didn't expect was that after the recruitment notice was posted, there were not many people who responded.

The entire Longxi Qiang has more Han and less Han, and it has to rely on blood transfusion in Guanzhong.

After the Qiang Rebellion, the Han people habitually migrated to the safer Nan'an and Anding.

Since Deng Ai was promoted to the position of Nan'an Taishou, according to local conditions, he established a dock fort in a dangerous terrain, opened up the cantonment, trained the border people, and subdued the Qiang people, so that Nan'an became a happy land in the Longyou counties, with abundant soldiers and people, and the people's hearts were settled.

Later generations often boasted of his smuggling of Yinping and destroying Shu, but in fact, Deng Ai was the first to be promoted by Sima Yi with the strategy of Tuntian Huainan.

Although Xiahou Ba has his father's brave and fierce style, his ability and wrist are still much worse than Deng Aibi.

Now that he can't recruit anyone, Yang Zheng feels that he has stepped into the pit.

Originally, I wanted the emperor to be far away, fish in troubled waters, accumulate military merits, and say goodbye to the wind to make the rudder, bigger and stronger.

Now the first step is to step on the air, there is no population, even if there is a forty-meter dragon slayer knife in the air, it is useless.

The rest of the Han people who stayed behind were contained in the Han Epitek Fort.

And those dock forts looked much stronger than the city of Caohan.

There are still some people in the city, all of whom are war orphans, either women or children, and they have been eye-to-eyeing with their subordinates these days.

They were merry, and they were busy all day long, helping the widows to fetch water and chopping wood.

I heard that there are a few particularly enthusiastic people who take the initiative to help people warm the kang.

This made Yang Zheng feel very embarrassed.

Do you really expect them to make babies?

When will more than 400 people be born?

If you give birth, you have to raise it.

There are people in the dock fort outside the city, but they are the mainstay of the Han people in the northwest, without them, the Qiang people would have been unscrupulously pushed to the foot of the city of Caohan.

Yang Zheng moved them, which was tantamount to digging the foot of the wall.

There are few Han people in the northwest.

The reputation stinks, and it will only be more difficult in the future.

After waiting for three or four days, I was able to recruit about 200 people, which seemed like a lot, but more than half of them were gray-haired old people, and there were dozens of malnourished homeless teenagers.

They are all here to eat.

There are only a dozen people who can really use it.

In this era, youth and strength are also a huge resource.

Yang Zheng was desperate, so he could only postpone recruiting and focus on farming outside the city.

Take the soldiers to level the land, dig canals, and prepare for spring ploughing.

Perhaps it was Yang Zheng's bamboo slips that played a role, and several times the army mobilized the people to work to no avail, Xiahou Ba also realized that the situation was not good, and the troops rested in Taoyang, posing as if they were going to take the initiative to attack Qiangzhai, and finally curbed the arrogance of the thieves a little.

In early March, Xiahou Ba summoned Yang Zheng to listen to it.

Yang Zheng didn't dare to slack off, leaving Zhang Te to defend with two hundred horsemen, and led two hundred horsemen south to rendezvous.

"A certain has summoned the chieftains of the Qiang and Zhuyi to come to the alliance, what about Xingyun?" Xiahouba summoned Yang Zheng alone, with only Sima Li Mi by his side.

Yang Zheng was flattered, and secretly thought that his bamboo slips had played a role.

"What if he doesn't come?"

"Those who come are my guests, and those who don't come, I will raise troops to seek peace and make an example of them!" Xiahou Ba's eyes were cold.

With the strength of Longxi, it is too difficult to completely quell the Qiang chaos.

Unless it unites the Wei army in Nan'an, Wudu, and Anding.

But this is the power of the Yongliang Governor or the Yongliang Thorn History, and Xiahou Ba has not yet reached this level.

"Yidi is afraid of power but not virtue, since he has set off such a momentum, I am afraid that he will not come to the alliance, even if he comes, it is only for profit, and the profit will be scattered, it may not be sincere." Yang Zheng told the truth.

Suddenly, Li Mi's eyes were complicated.

Secretly thinking that it might be his plan.

But the current situation does not take care of so much.

If you don't hurt them, they certainly won't look at you in the eye.

What's more, there is also the support of forces behind it.

Xiahou Ba frowned, and said in a deep voice: "If the thief chief is really like this, he must ask the Chang'an army to plow the court and sweep the cave to destroy its species." ”

Yang Zheng didn't doubt his determination and courage, but now Xiahou Xuan, the governor of Yongliang, Luo Gu had already become a frightened bird before the defeat, would he still support him to make a big move?

I'm afraid Guo Huai is a hurdle he can't get around.

And Xiahou Ba didn't know Xiahou Xuan's current embarrassing situation at all.

Even if the army is sent, how many people are willing?

Don't let the army disperse in a hurry halfway through the road, and the face of the Xiahou family will be completely hopeless.

Yang Zheng skimmed Li Mi, looked at Xiahou Ba's expression again, and said cautiously: "In today's situation, I'm afraid Chang'an will not send troops." ”

"The governor of Xiahou and the general are one, how can they not help?" Li Mi finally couldn't help but speak.

It's not easy to find a good leader these days, Yang Zheng really doesn't want to see him fall on his heels, "Sending troops from Chang'an, how much is the grain and grass?" What is the military budget? The Qiang Chaos is protracted, can Longyou bear the grain and grass of tens of thousands of people? ”

Xiahou Ba's face changed sharply, from red to blue, from green to black, but finally turned into a sigh.

Li Mi's face was red, and he couldn't get off the stage.

Yang Zheng arched his hand and said: "The subordinates have no other intentions, the thieves are rampant at the moment, they are in a hurry, they are straightforward, and Li Sima is more forgiving." ”

Li Mi's face looked better, "Xingyun has always had a strategy, I don't know if he has a strategy to deal with the situation in front of him?" ”

This brings us to the point.

Yang Zheng thought quietly for a while.

With the current situation of Xiahouba, don't count on reinforcements.

Chang'an doesn't have to think about it.

It is estimated that Xiahou Xuan also commanded the Yongliang army.

You can only rely on yourself.

The thief's biggest reliance is to be familiar with the mountain shape, gather and shuttle back and forth, and not fight Xiahou Ba head-on.

Longxi is surrounded by mountains, Longshan, Minshan, Qishan, Qilian Mountain, Qinling......

Mountains are dead, but people are alive.

Yang Zheng suddenly thought of a sentence, if the mountain is not me, I will go to the mountain!
