1. The people of Qiang area support Li Tang even more.

2. The army left by Li and Tang in the Qiang region was mainly cavalry, and the number of cavalry in the Zhou army was not small.

3. Coupled with the timely arrival and help of Yu Wentai and Gao Xingzhou, the generals of Zhou army are even better.

4. Yang Su committed a taboo among military strategists. He underestimated his Ji Chang, thinking that because he was a scholar and was beaten so badly by Xuanyuan, his ability to lead troops should be extremely mediocre.

It was precisely because of these four points that Ji Chang was given the opportunity to turn defeat into victory.

The battle in the Qiang land ended with Ji Chang narrowly defeating Yang Su, killing 10,000 Sui troops and losing 9,000 himself.

After the war, Ji Chang, taking advantage of his great victory, negotiated with the Sui State and expressed his willingness to surrender to the Sui State.

Seeing that Ji Chang's army was so capable of fighting, Yang Guang might lose both sides if he forcibly annexed the other side. In order to occupy the Qiang land at a small price, Yang Guang accepted Ji Chang's surrender and appointed Ji Chang as the governor of Yizhou County.

The Sui Kingdom had three counties in the Western Regions, namely: Tianshan County (Urumqi), Yizhou County (Hami), and Gaochang County (Turpan County);

Yang Guang appointed Ji Chang as the governor of Yizhou County, not because he really trusted Ji Chang, but because he wanted to transfer his troops away from the Qiang land and completely control the seven counties of the Qiang land.

In addition, the Western Regions were also the foundation of the Sui Kingdom. After Ji Chang arrived in the Western Regions, it was not up to him, Yang Guang, to decide how to exploit Ji Chang.

At the same time, Yang Guang can also take this opportunity to see if Ji Chang is sincerely loyal. After all, agreeing to the right person may not be sincere, but rejecting it must be ambitious.

Therefore, Yang Guang's move simply killed three birds with one stone.

But what Yang Guang didn't know was that Ji Chang was eager to leave the Qiang land and enter the Western Regions, so he cooperated in this way and voluntarily gave up the three counties of the Qiang land, which were relatively richer.

In this way, Yang Guang obtained the three counties of Qiang as he wished, and Ji Chang also entered the Western Region as he wished. Both parties were very happy.

After Yang Guangquan took control of seven counties in the Qiang region, he saw that Qin and Shu were fighting at Yangping Pass. Then Chu, Wei and Wu all joined in, and his thoughts began to get active, and he wanted to find an opportunity to completely expel the Qin army from Liangzhou.

Therefore, Yang Guang secretly contacted Liu Yu of Shu and mobilized troops to the front line. However, he did not go to war with the Qin army, but only tested the strength of the Qin army in Liangzhou.

This test really made Yang Guang test something. Although Li Jing lost 30,000 troops to Yangping Pass, he still had sufficient troops in Liangzhou, and the commander was still Li Jing, who had never been defeated.
