The night's fighting left a mess everywhere, capturing more than 40,000 people and killing more than 20,000 people, as for those who rushed out of the camp with Han Sui and Ma Teng, in fact, the end was not good, Jia Xu had already set up an ambush on their way to escape, and gave them a head-on blow.

In the end, Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Pang De were captured alive, Ma Teng's son Ma Tie died in battle, and Han Sui's men also fled to death, that is, Ma Chao desperately fled with more than 1,000 iron horses.

Although he did not kill Ma Chao in one fell swoop, Zhang Xiu was also a complete victory.

Moreover, he also surrendered Pound, a fierce general who had just shown his talents.

Pang De is naturally not as fierce as later generations, and he can single-handedly take on Guan Yu, but he can make a move with Guan Yu without being cut in a few rounds, which is enough to prove his strength.

As for Ma Teng, Han Sui and others, after Zhang Xiu's recruitment was refused, he was directly cut.

After beheading Ma Teng and Han Sui, he also took Jincheng and Anding, and Zhang Xiu immediately ordered Xu Huang to lead the army to pacify the northern land, and Xue Li went to take Shangjun.

And he himself led the army to gather the alloy city of Zhang Liao and marched towards Wuwei.

Except for Han Sui and Ma Teng, Xiliang itself has no hard stubble. What's more, the two of their biggest Xiliang warlords have been destroyed, how can these people withstand it?

Some of them fell from the wind, some resisted, and after the city was broken, no one was left...

In just half a month, Zhang Xiu was killed under Wuwei City.

After the siege of the city, Zhang Xiu learned that there were only more than a thousand defenders here, and the guards were only a girl and a teenager.

These two people are naturally Ma Yunlu and Ma Dai.

Knowing that Ma Teng was killed in battle, Ma Chao fled desperately, and Ma Yunlu mustered up the courage to lead the army to guard the city wall.

She wants to fight to the death with more than a thousand defenders!

Pity...

In the evening, the soldiers of the city opened the city.

Inside the West Liang Thorn Mansion.

"Zhang Xiu, you national thief, villain... Let go of me and have the ability to fight me one-on-one!! Ma Yunlu was covered in blood red at this time, looking extremely embarrassed.

Although she is a woman, she does have a few times.

Zhang Xiu looked at Ma Yunlu, even if she was sloppy, she still couldn't hide her youth and beauty, and she was a little interested.

"Let her go."

Looking at the people in the hall, Zhang Xiu said.

Xue Li walked over and untied her rope with a sword.

As soon as he was liberated, Ma Yunlu wanted to make a move on Xue Li.

However, Xue Li just slapped her leg with the scabbard, and she lay on the ground.

That is, he can see that Zhang Xiu is interesting to her, otherwise, Xue Li would have been able to kill her just now.

"It's a fiery horse." Seeing this, Zhang Xiu praised it.

"Zhang Xiu, kill me, my eldest brother will avenge me!" Ma Yunlu shouted angrily.

"Take it down, wash it, and break her limbs if she doesn't obey in the process." Zhang Xiu commanded.

"You..."

When Ma Yunlu heard this, he was a little scared.

Break limbs...

She shuddered to think about it.

After sending Ma Yunlu away, Zhang Xiu looked at Jia Xu and said, "Wenhe, I want to completely calm Xiliang and stabilize the rear, do you have any good plans?" ”

"The prime minister wants to make a move against the Qiang?" Jia Xu was puzzled for a moment, and then asked.

Now that Xiliang is in the hands of Zhang Xiu, if the rear is still unstable, it is naturally the Qiang people.

"Of course."

Although the land of Xiliang is now calm, the Qiang people here are still there!

Although the Qiang people are not as powerful as the Xiongnu, they can still gather an army of 100,000 in a short time.

Therefore, Zhang Xiu intends to conquer them at once.

Moreover, once the Qiang people here are destroyed, they can get a large number of war horses.

"This..."

Jia Xu never thought that his lord would choose to take the initiative to attack the alien race.

"If the prime minister wants to temporarily pacify the Qiang people, all he needs is gold..."

Zhang Xiu interrupted: "Listen to me, unless it is to use the other party, I can agree to send money and food, but other than that, I only choose force for foreign races." Don't these nomads think that they are invincible in the world, don't they think that the Han family is insignificant? Giving them gold and silver will only fuel their prestige... I'm not going to do this kind of thing. ”

"That's... There was only one war, but the territory of the Qiang people belonged to the grassland, and the subordinates did not have any good strategies. Jia Xu said.

"Nomads, yes." Zhang Xiu pinched her chin and thought about it.

Although they added stirrups, it was not easy to fight with the Qiang soldiers who had lived on horses since childhood.

Even if you can win, I am afraid it will be a miserable victory. But if the Qiang people can't be taken down, sooner or later it will still add unnecessary trouble.

Especially when it was time to go out into the army, they came coldly...

These are all things that cannot be prevented.

"Then fight, only by pacifying the rear at one time, will our army have the opportunity to enter the world." Zhang Xiu then looked at Jia Xu and said: "Wenhe, this time you will stay in Liangzhou to appease the people, handle government affairs, and promote agricultural affairs..."

"Lord, once you step into the territory of the Qiang people, this grain and grass will be transported..."Jia Xu hesitated.

"If you kill someone else's territory, can you still lack food and grass?" Zhang Xiu said indifferently.

“...”

Hearing Zhang Xiu's words, all the generals admired...

To beat someone else, and to use someone else's?

What a domineering thing this is!

"Prime Minister, once the war is stalemate..."Although Jia Xu didn't want to remind him, it was better to remind him now than to wait for a reminder if he was defeated.

Especially Zhang Xiu has said that he has something to say, otherwise...

has followed Zhang Xiu for so long, and his ability Jia Xu has also seen that this is a master, and he is a master worthy of his Jia Xu's follow. Therefore, he didn't want to make any mistakes.

"I understand Wenhe's worries, but Wenhe can rest assured, I dare to lead the army to fight, and I naturally have the certainty of victory. Moreover, this battle must be fought! Zhang Xiu said.

Rear stability does not only refer to the territory of the Han people.

It also has to be outside the territory of the Han people!

When everything is stable, that's real stability!

Otherwise, sooner or later, something will happen.

"You just wait for good news in Xiliang, but I hope that when I come back, Wenhe will be able to understand Xiliang's governance, which is my task for you." Zhang Xiu said again.

"No."

When Jia Xu heard this, he had no choice but to accept his life.

Zhang Xiu looked at the military generals in the hall again and continued: "Li Dao, Guo Yan, Niu Fu, Fan Chou, Xu Huang, and Zhang Liao will go with me this time. ”

"No!" X6。

Except for Xu Huang and Zhang Liao, the other four have all fought with Dong Zhuo and the Qiang people.

They're not too much of a waste of wood, in fact.

And Liu Qi is responsible for guarding Xiliang and going out at any time if there is an accident, Xue Li is responsible for guarding the land of Chencang, as for Chang'an with Xu Rong guarding him, he doesn't need to worry about anything.

The most important thing is that now Yanzhou Cao Cao and Lu Bu are entangled, Xuzhou Liu Bei has Yuan Shu eyeing him, Jingzhou Liu Biao is not enough, Hebei Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are also gearing up, and Bingzhou is now the time for the Xiongnu to invade the border, and they are simply taking care of themselves.

At this time, he didn't take the opportunity to calm the rear, where would there be such a good opportunity in the future!
