Yang Qing and Zhuge Liang talked about the strategy of regaining Liangzhou for more than half an hour, until the personal guards sent lunch to finish the discussion.

"I didn't expect that the main general who recovered Liangzhou was really Wei Yan?"

After lunch at Zhuge Liang, Yang Qing said goodbye and left. While walking towards the Xiqianyuan where he lived, he was thinking about the details of the conversation just now.

Zhuge Liang just now revealed to him that Wei Yan was the chief general to conquer Liangzhou in the future. In fact, this is also the case. Wei Yan, the governor of Liangzhou, is still in a remote position. If he wants to turn the remote position into a real position, he should go as the person involved.

However, when Yang Qing thought that his upcoming Yongzhou governor wanted to cooperate with Wei Yan to recover Liangzhou, he had a headache. Wei Yan has always been domineering and had already experienced it when he was in Hanzhong.

Although the relationship between the two improved later, Yang Qing really didn't like Wei Yan's arrogant personality. He originally thought that he would be ignorant of this person after returning to Hanzhong, but unexpectedly he would still work with this person in Longyou.

Moreover, Longyou and Liangzhou are adjacent to each other, so his relationship with Wei Yan will be even more indispensable in the future.

"Forget it, let's talk about the future. I've discussed all morning and it's time to have a good nap." Yang Qing lay on the bed as soon as he returned to the room. He was really tired after moving his mind for a long time.

Just when Zhuge Liang and others were still calming the people's hearts in Longyou, the regaining war between Wudu and Yinping counties had begun.

While taking the Han army's great victory in Longyou, Ma Dai told the Wei officials of the two counties to open the city and surrender immediately, while he ordered the Qiang and Di tribes to let them all rise up and return to Han.

Ma Dai has been in Wudu for many years. Now, at his order, a group of Qiang and Di tribes who had already secretly returned to the Han Dynasty responded. Under the leadership of the leader Yang Qianwan, the White Horse Di people had already merged with Ma Dai to encircle the Wudu County.

As for other tribes such as the Lei family of Yinping Di people and the Fu family of Wudu Di people, they also abandoned their original wait-and-see attitude and were ordered by Ma Dai to raise an army to attack the nearby city.

However, in a few days, five of the six counties under the jurisdiction of Wudu County were surrendered, and only the county government was still resisting stubbornly.

As for Yinping County, there were frequent reports of good news. Under the joint battle between the 1,000 Han army led by Ma Dai's deputy general Ma Zhen, and a group of Qiang and Di tribes such as the Lei family, the only two counties in this county, Yinping County and Pingguang County.

The Cao Wei official army either surrendered or was killed, and only the governor of Yinping and the county magistrate escaped from the strongest territory with a few men.

Qiangduan is the heroic and handsome man from Yinping Di who is as famous as Lei Ding. This man has always been close to Cao Wei. During the Battle of Hanzhong, he stood on Cao Cao's side and sent troops to help Cao Xiu, Cao Hong fight with Zhang Fei and Ma Chao, and later killed Han general Wu Lan.

This man knew that he would not tolerate Ji Han from his long-term pro-Wei stance. Even if he took the initiative to surrender to the Han army, he would not have any good results. So he decided to go all the way to the black army and accepted the fleeing Wei army, gathered his clansmen, defended the mountain village, and confronted Ma Zhen, Lei Ding and others.

Under the city, the war drums thundered and the sound of killing sounds shook the sky. The soldiers carried the ladders and pushed the carts and rushed forward in the rain of arrows.

This was the third day of the Han army's attack. After the consecutive attacks of the previous two days, Xiabian City was already shaking. Ma Dai believed that the fastest day and the slowest day would be able to break the city in three days.

The reason why Ma Dai is so confident is that the gap between the enemy and us is too big. Not to mention that it is not a tall city, but the Han army is several times more powerful than the Wei army.

Currently, in addition to more than 2,000 official troops, Ma Dai also has more than 6,000 soldiers and horses of the Qiang and Di tribes led by the Yang family and Fu family. The defenders in the city and the recruited civilians are only more than 3,000, and the Han army's strength is almost three times that of the Wei army.

In addition, the Wei army in the city had been besieged by Ma Dai for nearly three months, with insufficient food and grass, and his morale plummeted. He also learned that Longyou was defeated and there were no reinforcements outside, so he did not have much intention to fight under such desperate situations.

It was only because Song Gang, the governor of Wudu County, insisted on his own loyalty to Cao Wei to the death, and the military and civilians were afraid of their past power that they could barely resist.

However, in the past two days, many deaths and injuries were caused by the Wei army and the civilians. The officials and citizens in the city complained, and many wealthy families had secretly sent envoys out of the city to communicate with the Han army.

Ma Dai accepted them one by one, and ordered the Youwei in the city to make careful connections, preparing to cooperate inside and outside to seize the city in one fell swoop.

At night, the powerful households of Tonghan and You Wei launched an attack together and occupied the Nancheng gate in one fell swoop. The Han army, who had already prepared, immediately entered the city under the support of the Yi soldiers. Song Gang and others were unable to resist in a hurry and had to escape from the east gate.

Seeing that the county magistrates were gone, the Wei army had no desire to fight. They threw away their weapons and asked the Han army to surrender. Only a few were still fighting with trapped beasts on the streets. The next morning, the enemy in the city had been completely wiped out by the Han army. Ma Dai immediately issued a list to calm the people and comfort the people.

In the afternoon, Yang Qianwan, the leader of the White Horse clan who was ordered to chase Song Gang and others, fulfilled his mission and successfully brought Song Gang's head back. The more than a hundred Wei troops who abandoned the city and fled were either killed or captured, except for more than ten people who escaped by chance.

At this point, the entire territory of Wudu County was also recovered by the Han army, and Ma Dai quickly sent people to Shangqi to report the victory to Zhuge Liang.

"Prime Minister, General Ma Dai has a good news."

On this day, Yang Qing, Yang Yi and Ma Su were reporting to Zhuge Liang about the calculation of the grain and fields in Longyou. Hu Ji suddenly walked in with a roll of bamboo slips in his hand and reported.

Zhuge Liang quickly took the official document and read it. After a moment, he laughed loudly and said, "Okay, Zhonghua has recovered the two counties of Wudu and Yinping. In addition to the strong thief who is still resisting the royal army, all the officials and people of the two counties surrendered. Our Han Dynasty has eight more cities and more than 100,000 people."

After saying that, he handed down the victory: "You can take a look, too."

"Prime Minister, since the Yinping of Wudu has been recovered, the passage between Hanzhong and Longyou is no longer hindered. It is really gratifying." Yang Qing said happily after reading it.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Yes, with Longyou, the two counties of Yinping in Wudu will sooner or later fall into our hands. But I didn't expect Zhonghua and his friends to move so quickly. It seems that the hard work of the past few years has not been in vain."

"Prime Minister, the two counties responded to more than ten tribes in our army. This shows that the people of the Qiang and Di have the heart of the Han Dynasty. This time, they have made great contributions to the recovery of the two counties. They must be rewarded to show their kindness.

In this way, the Qiang and Hu in Liangzhou will definitely be inspired by this and follow the example and join us. In the future, our army in Liangzhou will also be able to help us recover the Liangzhou army." Yang Yidao.

Before Zhuge Liang could answer, Ma Su, who had read the news of the victory, also echoed: "Yes, this example can be used to show the four directions and show the court's intention to comfort all ethnic groups, so that the hearts of Qiang and Hu in the north can be won."

"Well, we have to give a generous reward to these tribes who are interested in the Han Dynasty. After returning to the court, I will report to the emperor to ask for credit for them." Zhuge Liang said: "As for those tribes who are seeking Cao Wei, we must also crack down on them, fight against them, and use both kindness and power to achieve success for all generations."

After a pause, he looked at Yang Qing and the other two and said, "If we take Liangzhou or even the Western Regions in the future, we will deal with more alien races. You should keep in mind this way of dealing with it."

"Abide by the Prime Minister's teachings." The three of them responded in unison.

Two days later, another good news came to Shangji, which made everyone even more happy. It turned out that Wu Yi finally captured Linjing and Jingyin counties after more than half a month of hard work, and included the entire Anding County in Ji Han's territory.
