The leader of the Lingqiang personally fought with the Zhao army for a whole day, and the corpses piled up the valley, and the blood gathered into a stream on the ground.

But the Zhao army was as impregnable as a city wall, and no matter how the Qiang people attacked, they could not break through the defense line of the Zhao army.

The morale of the Qiang cavalry continued to decline, even if the leader of the Seed Zero Qiang repeatedly increased his incentives, including other leaders, they also said that they would reward everyone after rushing out, even the burning He Qiang, who had always been against the Seed Zero Qiang, was no exception, and it still couldn't change the status quo.

The leader of the Lingqiang also thought of breaking through the mountains on both sides, but the mountains were too steep for even people to walk on the slopes, not to mention war horses.

It was not easy to find a relatively gentle place for people and horses to pass, and it had already been garrisoned by the Zhao army.

The next day, the leader of He Qiang proposed to divide his troops into two routes, and he led a part of the Qiang cavalry to the other end of the valley to see if he could break through.

The leader of the Seed Zero Qiang agreed.

But the other side of the valley was even narrower and steeper, thousands of Zhao troops blocked the mountain pass, and the leader of He Qiang led the personal guards to charge, but he was still killed and came back, and he was also hit by an arrow in the shoulder.

On the third day, tens of thousands of people rushed to the front line under the organization of the Longxi County Guard, participating in the encirclement and suppression of the Qiang people, and the defense line gradually became solid.

On the fifth day, the Qiang people's grain and grass were gradually exhausted, some tribal armies began to kill horses to satisfy hunger, and the stronger tribes couldn't help but rob, although they were finally killed in public by the leader of the Qiang and the leader of the burning He Qiang, but the gradually chaotic scene was no longer beyond their control.

The leaders of the Seed Zero Qiang and the Burning He Qiang organized a large army to break through every day, but without exception, all ended in failure. The Qiang knight's spirit was depressed to the extreme, and he had lost the courage to fight against the Zhao army.

Some of the Qiang riders even knelt on the ground, begging Zhao Jun to let them go.

But Zhao Jun's face was cold, there was not the slightest pity in his eyes, only arrows pierced the chest of the Qiang people.

On the tenth day, the Qiang people began to kill each other, and the leaders of the various tribes could not control the Qiang people under their command.

"General, you can surrender." Touman looked at the dying Qiang rider in the valley and couldn't help but say.

"It's not time yet, the Qiang haven't really collapsed." Meng Wei shook his head, the real reason was that he hadn't waited for news from Meng Wu yet.

On the other side, after accepting the order, Meng Wu and Qingshe led an army of 6,000 from Zhangye County all the way to Biandukou.

Biandukou is a river valley in the Qilian Mountains, with a relatively low altitude and a relatively wide valley that can accommodate large armies.

This ancient road is the famous Silk Road Qinghai Road.

After entering the mouth of Biandu, Qingshe immediately turned on his talent and enveloped the army.

His talent is able to ignore the terrain to a certain extent and help the army march through complex terrain, of course, there is a limit to this, if there is a cliff in front of him, Keisha can't ignore it no matter what.

With the help of Qingshe, Zhao Jun successfully crossed the Qilian Mountains, went south along the Baoku River Valley, crossed the Daban Mountain, and entered the Hehuang Valley.

"It's finally here." Meng Wu leaned against the stone and breathed a long sigh of relief, he had never walked such a difficult road, the wind in the valley slashed his face like an ice blade, even if he wrapped his whole body tightly, he could not resist it.

Fortunately, he finally led Zhao Jun over.

"Ahead is the Huangshui Valley, are we going to act separately, or are we going to do it one by one?" Qingshe said with a smile.

"In order to save time, let's go separately, and all the Qiang people, men, women, and children, all those who do not surrender, those who resist, and those who flee will be killed." Meng Wu said in a deep voice, this is a war between countries, and there is no room for mercy.

The mercy to the enemy is the tip of the knife that pierced Zhao Jun's chest.

"No." Qingshe said solemnly.

"A few of you, with General Qing." Meng Wu said to a few guides beside him.

Zhao bought a large number of Qiang people during this time

An army had several Qiang people as guides. These people are women and thieves for the Qiang people, but for Zhao Guo, they are heroes.

Soon, Zhao Jun came to the first tribe.

The Qiang tribe never thought that the Zhao army would come here, the young Zhuang in the tribe were all fighting with the Zhao army outside, and the tribe was basically full of old people, women and children, and only a very small part of the young and strong.

The Zhao army defeated them without much effort and captured all the Qiang people.

In this way, within a day, the Zhao army occupied several tribes.

In order to prevent these Qiang people from escaping, the Zhao army disorganized them and reorganized them into the Shiwu, so that they could supervise each other, and if one escaped, all of them would be executed, and the whistleblower could be exempted from slavery.

The Zhao army also recruited Qiang people to fight for them, as long as they promised to take half of the loot, there were a large number of Qiang people to fight for Zhao, they knew more about their own people, and some places that the Zhao army could not find, the Qiang people could find.

Their homeland was destroyed by the Zhao army, but the Zhao army was strong, they were no opponent, and the incompetent Qiang people targeted their own people, forming a coalition of tens of thousands to frantically plunder the wealth of various tribes.

They were more ruthless to their own people than Zhao Jun, burning, killing and looting all kinds of evil, but they were respectful to Zhao Jun.

With the help of these inner ghosts, the Zhao army occupied the Hehuang Valley in only ten days, capturing dozens of tribes, large and small, and even some tribes hiding in the deep mountains were found by the Qiang people.

They weren't even satisfied, telling Zhao Jun that the Qiang people in the Hehuang Valley were only a part, and there were still many Qiang people in the high mountains.

However, now in early winter, even the Hehuang Valley is extremely cold, and Zhao Jun really has no idea of climbing the mountain to fight, so he hurriedly ordered the Qiang people to come back.

On the fifteenth day, white snowflakes drifted in the sky, and the Qiang people in the valley curled up together, their eyes revealing endless despair, and the faint breath exhaled from their nostrils showed that they were still alive, but they were just ...... No one knows how long they will live.

The grain was eaten, the horses were killed, the grass roots and tree bark were gnawed, and there was nothing left except a sheepskin robe covered with tooth marks.

The leader of the seed Lingqiang and the leader of the burning He Qiang got together, you look at me, I look at you, and finally sighed deeply.

The leader of Burning He Qiang did not blame the leader of Lingqiang for leading everyone to a dead end, because there was no point in it, and after this battle, even if the two of them could go back alive, they would be alone.

And...... The leader of Burning He Qiang looked at the war clouds shrouded in the sky, which had never dispersed, obviously to prevent a transcendent realm military general like them from abandoning his army and escaping.

This kind of large array that can maintain the battle clouds for a long time is only available in the Central Plains, and Hu Qiang and Nanban absolutely do not have it.

Da Da Da ~ A hurried sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, and the herald quickly handed the seal letter to the guards, and after entering the barracks, he took the letter from his bosom and handed it to Meng Fu.

"General, General Mengwu's letter." The herald said.

When Meng Fu heard this, he was suddenly happy in his heart, and quickly took the letter, and after checking that there was no sign of opening, he quickly tore open the seal, took out the letter, and swept it up and down, and the smile on his face was instantly like a blooming flower, and he could no longer hold it back.

"Hehuang victory, Hehuang victory, hahahaha, this kid has lived up to Lao Tzu's expectations." Meng Fu said loudly, not even paying attention to the fact that his beard was pulled off.

Seeing that his son was out of breath, Meng Fu was even happier than if he had won the battle.

"Congratulations, General." Lu Zhonglian and the others said with a smile.

"Is there anything else besides letters?" Meng Fu looked at the messenger.

"General, there is also a bow and a jade pendant." The messenger took out the bow from the sack and the jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to Meng Fu.

"Drumming." Meng Fu said loudly, grabbed his saber and strode outside.

The Qiang people in the valley heard the sound of drums and opened their eyes unwillingly, are the Zhao people coming to kill them? They tried to stand up and resist, but they didn't have any strength in their bodies.

Let him go, if he dies, he will die, and it will be considered a liberation......

"Let your tribal leader come to the general." cover

He stood at the mouth of the valley and shouted loudly inside.

"I'm here, what do you have to say?" The leaders of Seed Lingqiang and Burning He Qiang walked out of the valley and looked at Meng Fu with hatred in their eyes.

It was the person in front of him who ruined his life's work, and if he could, he would be eager to cut Meng Fu with a thousand knives.

"Don't look at Ben with this kind of eyes, if Ben will lose, the end will not be much better than you." Meng Fu said coldly, casually throwing the bow and jade pendant towards the leader of the Lingqiang Plant.

The leader of He Qiang looked at the jade pendant in the hand of Chong Lingqiang, hurriedly snatched it over, and asked urgently, "Why is my son's jade pendant here with you, you ...... What happened to my son? What happened to my people?"

The leader of the Lingqiang looked at the longbow in his hand, he was stunned at first, and when he heard the words of the leader of the burning He Qiang, he hurriedly looked at one of the corners of the longbow, and sure enough, there was a gap.

He gave this longbow to his younger brother, who he left to garrison the tribe just in case.

Now this longbow is in the hands of Zhao Jun......

The leader of the Lingqiang Seed was as pale as ink, and his whole body trembled slightly, he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Before, he always thought that even if he lost, he would just withdraw, and Zhao Guo had nothing to do with them, but now he realized how naïve his previous thoughts were.

Zhao Guo never let them go.

They were still thinking about taking Longyou and the Hexi Corridor from the Zhao State, but the Zhao State was targeting their entire Qiang tribe.

"Don't worry, they're alive now, but later...... Not necessarily." Meng Fu said with a smile.

His smile was even more terrifying than the devil in the eyes of the Qiang people.

"What do you want us to do?" The leader of the Seed Zero Qiang asked in a deep voice.

"Unconditionally submit to my Zhao Kingdom." Meng Fu said.

The leader of the "......" Qiang was silent, and it was nothing to submit to the Zhao State, but the unconditional submission to the Zhao State meant that he would never have a chance to be the leader of the Qiang people from now on, and could only be at the mercy of the Zhao State.

Zhao will never allow him to return to the Qiang tribe and continue to reign as king.

It's just that...... If he doesn't return to Zhao, what can he do?

You can't escape, die in battle? and unwilling.

"As long as you let my family go, I will surrender immediately and return to the Zhao Kingdom." The leader of Burning He Qiang said loudly.

The leader of the Seed Zero Qiang looked at the other party in disbelief, and this is surrender?

"No problem." Meng Fu said with a smile, a powerhouse in the Transcendent Realm is worth the price.

Even the weakest transcendental realm powerhouse is enough to be a guest of honor in any country.

"I surrendered, too." The leader of the Seed Zero Qiang collapsed weakly on the ground, as if he had been pulled to the bones.

"Bring food and cotton clothes at once, and distribute them to these Qiang riders. Don't let them freeze and starve to death anymore. Strategist, you immediately take someone to prepare the place where the Qiang cavalry lives, and then prepare to register it. One of them was left behind, given a household register, and all the rest were reduced to slavery." Meng Fu waved his hand and said.

The leader of the seed Lingqiang and the leader of the burning He Qiang opened their mouths, and finally closed them helplessly and did not speak.

Now that they have even become prisoners of the Zhao State, how can they keep more than 100,000 clansmen.

From the time they launched the war against Zhao, all this was already doomed, and no matter what, they would have to bear this price.

Even if the price is so painful that even the entire Qiang people cannot afford it.

Soon, pots of cooked rice porridge were brought up and distributed to the Qiang riders.

The Qiang people also didn't care that the two sides were enemies, so they poured rice porridge into their mouths, but the rice porridge given by Zhao Jun was not enough to fill their stomachs.

The Qiang people, who had regained some strength, gradually turned their attention to their compatriots.

"It is forbidden to fight and fight, and whoever steals the food of others shall be put to death." Tou Man beheaded a Qiang man who snatched other people's rice porridge with a knife, and his cold gaze slowly swept over everyone's heads.

Qiangqi, who was originally about to move, suddenly became honest.

"No, it's not

Instead of giving you enough food, you have not eaten for a long time, and suddenly eat a lot of food, which is prone to sudden death. Now, all Qiang people who have received rice porridge should come and register, receive cotton clothes, and then go to the designated tent to rest, and it is forbidden to quarrel, fight, or escape, and those who violate the rules will be killed." Lu Zhonglian said.

Touman and Feng Quji led the Zhao army to maintain order, and the Qiang people obediently lined up in a long line, not daring to compete for other people's food.

Five days later, Meng Fu escorted more than 100,000 prisoners home.

Soon, the good news was transmitted back to Handan, Zhao Kuo held a court meeting, and named Mengfu as the county marquis, Lu Zhonglian and Feng Wuxue as the township marquis, Mengwu and Qingshe as the Lun marquis, and the rest of the generals were rewarded.

Zhao divided Zhangye County, that is, the Hexi Corridor, into four counties, namely Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang, and assigned county guards to manage them. And set up Hehuang County in the Hehuang Valley, and the county guard was served by Mao Sui.

The governor of Liangzhou was established, with Meng Fu as the governor and Gongsun Long as the deputy governor, under the jurisdiction of Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang, Hehuang and Longxi.

Release all the criminals who were not guilty of serious crimes in the Zhao state, release some prisoners who had performed well in the past few years, and move to Liangzhou.

The six counties of Liangzhou are exempted from taxes for three years.

It's not that Zhao doesn't want to move more people over, on the one hand, Zhao doesn't have that many people to move over. On the other hand, although there are many oases in Liangzhou, which can be cultivated, in fact, the carrying capacity of the land is limited, and it cannot feed too many people, far from being comparable with the Central Plains.
