"Wu Han is very proud of himself, so he should be despised by the Qiang people?"

Only local tycoons like Niu Han realized that the Qiang people were a mess that had accumulated for two hundred years, which troubled several emperors of the former Han Dynasty. They were as brave as the good families of six counties, and they took several generations to solve the problem.

For example, during the reign of Emperor Xuan of Han, the Qiang Qiang led the Qiang rebellion in Huangzhong, attacking cities and killing officials, and almost no protection for Jincheng. The court sent the latter general Zhao Chongguo to lead troops to suppress them. The old general Zhao joined forces with 60,000 troops, and used various strategies such as differentiation and farming to form a step by step, and took three years to suppress them.

But have the Qiang people been silent since then? No, they only lost the war for a few generations. With the collapse of Xinmang, the Qiang people not only regained Xihai County, but also tried hard to spread to Jincheng County, occupying many counties. Wei Xiang was a separatist regime and had no ability to attack the Han Dynasty. The Qiang people who were unable to deal with the new two generations, so they sent Niu Han to comfort them and took the opportunity to recruit the Qiang people to fight against Wei.

However, most of the people who joined the Long Army were the "Eastern Qiang" that moved eastward since the Han Dynasty. The "Western Qiang" in the Hehuang region had no interest in the Longwei dispute. However, Wu and Han wanted to go south to Longxi, and they would pass several Qiang tribes along the way. If they did not reach an agreement, they would leave. The Qiang people had a strong sense of territory. No matter how many people came, they would attack them without saying hello!

Niu Han thought to himself: "During the reign of Emperor Yuan of Han, the right general Feng Fengshi contemptled the Qiang people and brought 12,000 troops and horses to quell the Western Qiang Rebellion. As a result, he was defeated repeatedly and could only ask the court for help. In the end, he sent 60,000 troops to help, and barely suppressed the Qiang Rebellion."

Now Wu Han only has tens of thousands of people, and it is a guest army, so he has to guard against the Long soldiers. If Wu Han doesn't think about it, he will directly attack him! The basket will be thrust.

The Western Qiang is a hornet's nest. If you don't offend him, everyone can still be at peace. If you poke a stick, then the Qiang tribes along the way, together with their more than ten relatives, will be happy to use this mountainous terrain to accompany the Wei army to play slowly.

However, Wu Han looked at Niu Han like a fool: "I'm just passing by, and I have to fight against the Qiang people along the way?"

Wu Han even remembered that when he was about to set off, Di Wu Lun also expressed his orders to him and pointed out the goal of this battle. He did not require Wu Han to take all the county of Jincheng, and the Huangshui River Valley was mixed with Huarong, and now he was occupied by the Western Qiang. The situation was complicated and it was not worth investing in troops to fight for the land. He only needed to seize the two counties of Yuzhong and Jincheng, and let the independent division provide a little supply. He could go south along the Taoshui River Valley and go deep into the hinterland of Longxi.

The fifth reunion is very cautious with the Qiang people, knowing that before unification, it is impossible to completely solve the problem, and it is put on hold and will be discussed in the future.

Even if you have to pass by a few Qiang tribes along the way, although Wu Han looked wild on the surface, he was very agile in his heart and could distinguish his main tasks: he was ordered by the emperor to go to Longxi and destroy the Wei clan!

If you are still completing the task, you can get some benefits for the brothers of the Independent Teachers, grab a city, and kill a few big families, that is to grab a rabbit, why not do it?

The Qiang people are troublemakers in poor mountains and rivers. Women are ugly and unprofitable. What are you going to fight?

Niu Han Yingnuo: "With the general's intention, is he going to buy a way out for gold cakes?"

This is a tacit understanding reached between Longyou and the Qiang people. The convoys between Jincheng and Longxi will give the Qiang people some benefits to make them more peaceful. The Qiang people did not have much demand for Han land, and hard currency was gold and silver. The Qiang rich people were influenced by the customs of the Huns and liked to use this as decoration.

Unexpectedly, Wu Han shook his head: "I don't want to come out of the golden cake either."

Niu Hanqi said: "If you don't fight and don't buy, how will the general plan to pass by?"

"Isn't there Ruqing?" Wu Han's smile when he asked him to chew the ox head appeared on his face again.

"I heard that Ruqing's family is in Didao, Longxi, and they met Qiang Hao. If they even have such trivial matters as dealing with Qiang people, I have to worry about it. What's the use of asking you, the Qiang Captain?"

...

Niu Han understood that Wu Han did not want his subordinates to suffer casualties, and he was reluctant to give up the golden cake, so he planned to make money!

He still used his own condom, but Wu Han was worried that Niu Han would run away, but fortunately he was prepared.

When he went to war, Wu Han was kind-hearted and gave Niu Han ten personal guards, all of whom were his old family slaves. Now these personal soldiers were used to bring Niu Han's tokens and went to the Qiang tribes, saying that Niu Ruqing was here and had already surrendered to the Emperor Wei, hoping that the Qiangs could send people to Jincheng County to meet, and His Majesty the Emperor would have his own reward.

Wait, they are in Yuzhong County now, and Jincheng is still in the hands of Wei Xiang’s subordinates!

Wu Han disagreed: "It will be almost the same as ten thousand people who have broken a county for ten months when the Qiang envoys arrive."

In fact, Wu Han overestimated the garrisoning ability of Jincheng County. This was also a small town built along the riverside. It was in danger in three days. However, Wu Han insisted on dragging it on and waited until the Qiang envoys were about to arrive before the soldiers broke the city in one fell swoop with shocking shouts!

Therefore, the first impression of the Qiang visitors of the Wei army was that they were sharp soldiers and had abundant martial ethics. Wu and Han were never stingy in killing the cities, so they could clearly tell the Qiang that the sky had changed.

Those who were summoned were all small Qiangs south of the Yellow River, named Han Qiang, Kai Qiang, Zhong Qiang, Gongtang Qiang, and Xiangjie Qiang. They were incomparable to Xianling Qiang, which had more than 100,000 people north of the Yellow River, and the population of a single tribe was no more than 10,000 people. This is the object of Wu Han's accession.

These Qiang people, who were either vertebral or haired, stood in front of Wu Han. Wu Han asked Niu Han who could communicate with them: "Are the nobles of the five ministries here?"

"It's not the noble chief." Niu Han knew that there was a translator in the house who was talking about Qiang language staring at him. He couldn't beat the fool, so he could only report truthfully: "They are all his children."

It turned out that the officials of the border counties in the former Han and Xin dynasties thought that the Qiang leader would be executed and the Qiang rebellion would be put down. For example, Li Guang in the Wu Han Dynasty and the Qiang guards in the Xuan Han Dynasty all lured Qiang Hao to the meeting and then killed them!

As a result, the Qiang people did not disappear, but instead united due to bloody revenge and caused a greater rebellion.

After suffering too many losses, the Qiang also learned to be smart. Whenever the Han officials summoned each other, they would send their children to come over. It would be a pity that they would still not like their children, and it would be a pity that they were killed.

Wu Han understood, and he didn't talk too much. He knew that the Qiang envoys came from afar, and the first thing he did was to invite them to drink and eat meat. Don't look at everyone being wary and restrained now, it would be easier to talk after drinking. This is Wu Han's experience in the world over the years.

During the meal, Wu Han also noticed that the envoys of Han Qiang and Kai Qiang were as close as brothers. After inquiring, they found out that they were an ancestor. However, they were not ignorant of Zhong Qiang, Gong Tang Qiang, and Xiangjie Qiang. The two sides fought for river valleys and other places, and they had many revenge.

"Han, Kai is more hated to the three families of Zhong, Tang and Sister than to the court officials."

When he was drunk, Wu Han also brought Emperor Wu's "reward" with him.

It turned out to be a group of Qiang slaves, which Wu Han had just found from the Jincheng County Prison. This is the norm in Longyou. Qiang and Hu people live in mixed places with Han people. They have different customs and do not understand language. They are mostly bullied by minor officials and cunning people, and many of them become slaves.

It is also easy to distinguish: the half with a bun in the county prison is a Han criminal who has moved from the inner county. The half with a loose hair or a braid is a loser in the Qiang civil war and is sold to Han officials as slaves.

Wu Han asked Han slaves to follow the army as civilian husbands, while hundreds of Qiang slaves gave them to five tribes with their pride!

The population is an important property in Hehuang, and the five ministries are happy to accept this gift.

Not only that, Wu Han also wants better things to hand over to the Five Divisions!

With the crisp applause of the General of the Cavalry, five ox carts were driven up, filled with weapons seized by the Wei army during the siege. They were full of spears, swords and swords, and each car could arm dozens of people.

The Qiang chiefs had just obtained dozens of slaves, and the children of the Qiang chief were just a little happy. Now that they had so many weapons, they could not hide their joy.

Although the Qiang people also had smelting, their skills were rough and they could not be compared with the armored soldiers of the Han area. A good weapon could be exchanged for a strong slave in Hehuang.

With these two gifts, Wu Han reached an agreement with five small tribes through Niu Han: the Wei army went south by way of the way, and the five tribes must restrain their subordinates and must not invade any of the Wei army and subsequent baggage forces, otherwise...

"Otherwise, your seeds will be erased from the map, and the occupied river valley pastures will be handed over to the tribes that obey the Wei army!"

Simply put, it is: anyone who is disobedient, Wei Jun will help his enemies beat him!

The Qiang people didn't have time to ask what the map was. After seeing the strength of the Wu Han tribe, the five tribes began to promote their own soldiers, hoping to help the Wei army defeat the Long army.

"Just like the Eastern Qiang helped the Long Army fight against the Wei army?" Wu Han distrusts them. These Qiang people just wanted to follow them to Longyou to rob.

"Longyou is not rich, and the money I have obtained is not enough for tens of thousands of soldiers under my command. How can I afford to give you the Qiang Captains?" Wu Han sneered and asked Niu Han to reject the five tribes.

Niu Han felt strange: "Since you don't want to take it for yourself, why should the general send weapons to his troops?"

Wu Han smiled and said, "I have never dealt with the Qiang people in the past, but I have been with the Wuhuan people in Youzhou."

"Wuhuan, like the Qiang people, was divided into many species and robbed the land of the pastures. They had a deep hatred between them. Once, a certain Wuhuan master entered the subway. As the magistrate of the border county, I treated him and sent him dozens of good weapons. As a result, after he returned, he immediately led people to raid the enemy's tribe. What do you think he said?"

Wu Han was amused when he thought of this: "The Lord Wuhuan said that if such a good weapon is not used to kill enemies quickly, it will become rust and dull!"

It's really a matter of a moment!

Niu Han nodded, yes, the Qiang people were like birds. In order to compete for land suitable for farmland grazing in Hehuang, they killed each other very hard. Zhao Chong's country relied on differentiation and used Qiang soldiers to defeat Qiang soldiers. During the Han Dynasty, the main reason was that the court officials were too stupid and brutal, instigated minor officials to insult Qiang rich easily, forcing enemies to join forces to resolve their grievances and work together to rebel against the Han Dynasty.

Wu Han thought he was able to make a plan: "I think Han has a grudge against the other three tribes. Since that's the case, I'll give them some good weapons and let them go back, and then aim the tip of the knife at the enemy and kill each other to avoid coming to harass our army!"

Niu Han was convinced. As a result, Wu Han only paid some captured weapons, plus the hundreds of Qiang slaves, so he bought the road to the south, and used his troops to intimidate the Qiang people, and even buried some seeds of dispute among them...

He is so smart! Niu Han used to think that Wu Han was just a man. Now it seems that this general is not only brave, but also has wisdom in his heart! No wonder the fifth reunion valued him so much.

But Wu Han sighed: "What a pity."

Niu Han respected Wu Han a lot: "What a pity for the general?"

Wu Han said: "It's a pity that I only have one division under my command, only tens of thousands of people."

"If there is a army!"

Wu Han licked his lips and cursed: "There is no need to play these little thoughts with the Qiang. It's better to gather them all together and kill them all in one battle to save trouble!"

...

"Wu Han has captured Jincheng County and has also borrowed a good road with the Qiang along the way. The five tribes even agreed to send people to pay tribute next year. After a little rest, he will be able to attack Didao County, Longxi in late this month!"

A few days later, when Chengji County was in the place, the Fifth Reunion received a reward from Wu Han, saying that people who had been worried that Wu Han would make a big fuss in the Western Qiang were watching.

"How? If as I said, Wu Ziyi is a general, brave and wise?"

"Your Majesty is wise!" All the ministers were convinced, but Zhang Yu thought to himself that it would be better to wait for the war to be over. He had a bit of a festival with Wu Han in Hebei, and always hoped that this guy would show his domineeringness and fall hard.

There are still many good news recently that prove that the fifth ethics and people are well-appointed. In early October, the news broke almost a month ago. Hexi, which was also reported to be successful: the eighth governor of Liangzhou, defeated the troops without fighting. He received tens of thousands of troops from the General Liu Long of Hexi in Longyou, and the new prefect of Zhangye County, Wuwei County, was loyal to the Wei family. They refused to obey this "disaster life" and were still resisting stubbornly, but there was eighth in the west and Xiao Geng in the east. I guess it was only a few days before the victory.

In this way, everything is ready and the clarion call to end Longyou's offensive will be sounded!

Just waiting for Wu Han to go around the dragon claws in Jincheng, Wan Xiu led the main force to go south and stretched out his hand to hold the dragon's jaw in Longxi.

It's not easy. Unlike the great opening and closing of the Hebei Battle, Longyou can only slowly erode it, fighting for courage and patience. The war has reached its fifth month.

To this day, the fifth reunion can finally say that:

"This blue dragon in Liangzhou has been bound by my long tassels!"

...

ps: I even had 200,000 words in May, which was shocked.

There should be four months left in the whole book, with an average monthly target of 250,000 words.
Chapter completed!
