Chapter 347 Old Qiang (1)
The river in Hehuang refers to the Yellow River; Huang refers to the Huangshui River, which also includes its tributary Datong River.
The time when snow melts in spring is also the Hehuangfeng River period, which was called Sanhejian in ancient times. The Hehuang region refers to the general name of two valleys formed by the impact of the Huangshui River and the Yellow River. It connects to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the west, between the Loess Plateau and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and is also an important channel connecting Longxi Liangzhou.
The Hehuang Valley has lush water and grass and fertile land.
Qiang and Hu were born here and reproduced.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Qiang people were no longer born simply by nomads. Many people learned to farm with the Han people and cultivated in Hehuang.
It is the clear and refreshing autumn season.
The weather in the Central Plains and even Guanzhong is still accompanied by some heat remaining from the scorching heat, while the cool breeze in Hehuang is already gentle.
A team of cavalry crossed the Datong River and went upstream.
The two leaders were Zhuge Jun and the other was Zhao Yun.
"Brother Zilong, if you walk further, you will enter the territory of Shaodangqiang. Please pay more attention."
Zhuge Jun suddenly reminded him, Zhao Yun nodded silently and waved his hand to the school behind him. The cavalrymen took out their shields, prepared their bows and arrows, and then stepped on the horse's back to facilitate the sheathing. The prototype of this cavalry was the Feixiong Cavalry. However, with Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan leading the army alone, the Feixiong Cavalry was immediately separated and became two independent cavalrymen...
The cavalry under Zhao Yun is called the Arrow Cavalry, which means that it acts like lightning and is as fast as an arrow from a string.
The troops of Xiahou Lan were renamed Wudangqi.
All of them are paired with heavy armored knights, and their weapons are all big swords and spears.
Wudang means unstoppable, and it also represents the characteristics of Xiahou Lan's army.
These two cavalry troops are also the cavalry that Liu Chuang attaches most importance to. This time he followed Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan into Liangzhou to fight. To a certain extent, it also demonstrated Liu Chuang's determination to win the Liangzhou situation. Xiahou Lan is now stationed in Fengyi Mountain, responsible for restraining Cao Ren's troops.
After joining Ma Chao, Zhao Yun and his light cavalry were ordered by Xu Shu to protect Zhuge Jun from Hehuang.
Zhuge Jun’s mission to enter Hehuang this time is very important.
He will take on the task of dividing the Hehuang Qiang people to ensure the victory of Ma Chao's battle against Jincheng Hansui.
As mentioned earlier, there were not many Han people in Jincheng, and even fewer people were registered. The entire Jincheng was mainly based on naturalization of Qianghu. Han Sui's main support was to burn the old Qiang. However, with the previous migration of Shaotang the old Qiang, it caused turmoil in Hehuang. Many Qiang people were unable to leave their hometowns, especially some Qiang people who relied on farming, and were even more unwilling to leave easily.
The most important thing is that Shaodang Lao Qiang Qiang Wang Ke is the most domineering.
His tribe occupied the best land in the Hehuang Valley, while those migrating Qiang and Hu could not obtain enough living space.
Like the Qiang and Hu people, the Qiang and Hu people, they fought endlessly.
Shaodang Lao Qiang had long been determined to dominate Hehuang, but he was suffering from the lack of opportunities and excuses.
Once those Qiang tribes lose their own land, they will be like rootless floating duckweed. They will not take long to completely annex by the old Qiang.
In response, the Qiang tribes naturally refused to agree.
Lao Qiang took the opportunity to conquer and angered some Qiang tribe leaders. These leaders immediately joined forces to prepare for a confrontation with Lao Qiang.
As the representative of Liu Chuang, he is also the chief planner around Ma Chao.
Xu Shu has always been concerned about the situation in Liangzhou, and he has also come to his eyes for the civil strife in Hehuang.
If the old Qiang unified Hehuang, it would definitely become a confidant in Liangzhou. At that time, the Qianghu had a main body and would surrender to Liangzhou. This was definitely not the result that Xu Shu was willing to see. So in early May he sent a letter to Liu Chuang, intending to take advantage of the opportunity to attack Han Sui to resolve the Hehuang Qiang rebellion.
Liu Chuang attached great importance to this.
Although the Qiang people did not unify during the Three Kingdoms period in history and did not pose too much threat to the Central Plains, one thing must be admitted that the Three Kingdoms have been in turmoil for a hundred years, and the Qiang chaos in Liangzhou has never stopped.
Cao Cao comforted him several times, but the effect was not obvious.
Of course, there are also contributions from the future Prime Minister Zhuge. After he helped Liu Bei occupy Western Shu, he has been trying to win over and recruit Qiang and Hu.
However, as the war in the Central Plains ended, the Three Kingdoms returned to Jin.
The Qiang people did have a brief unification, and caused painful harm to the Central Plains and the Han people.
Of course, Liu Chuang would not sit idly by and watch as a burning force. If Han Sui, an ambitious ambitious, would inevitably cause great harm. Therefore, after Xu Shu's report was sent to him, Liu Chuang immediately agreed and gave it to Xu Shu to be responsible for the matter.
After Xu Shu occupied Zu Li, he did not continue to attack.
He first tried to contact Wei Duan and others secretly, pretending to be Liu Chuang, and comforted Wei Duan and other scholars in Liangzhou.
Later, as Zhong Yao surrendered, the attitudes of Wei Duan and others also changed quietly. After repeated negotiations with Xu Shu, Wei Duan agreed that Ma Chao would avenge Han Sui, and the powerful men in Liangzhou would not interfere in the matter. At the cost, Xu Shu had to return Zu Li and retreat to the Yin River of Songyin.
Xu Shu had no objection to this.
He knew very well that Liu Chuang did not have enough power to annex Liangzhou.
If we were to force the army, the final result would be to be cheaper Cao Cao, and Wei Duan and others completely turned to Guanzhong.
That is not a good thing... You know, although the scholars in Liangzhou were superficially surrendered to Cao Cao, they were actually an independent individual. They surrendered to the court and were willing to obey Cao Cao's orders. However, it would be extremely difficult for Cao Cao to interfere in the affairs of Liangzhou. In the original history, Ma Chao raised an army and killed Wei Kang, the son of Wei Duan, which really threatened the interests of the scholars in Liangzhou, and forced the scholars in Liangzhou to completely turn to Cao Cao, which allowed Cao Cao to take advantage of the opportunity to penetrate into the land of Liangzhou.
Sometimes, the more deserted and bitter and cold the place is, the more blocked it is and the more exclusive it is.
On the contrary, those rich places, with large populations and prosperous businesses, the idea of xenophobia will be relatively weak...
Now that Liu Chuang wants to take control of Liangzhou, it is definitely not enough not to have a good relationship with the scholars of Liangzhou like Wei Duan. Only by letting Wei Duan and others cooperate sincerely can he intervene.
Xu Shu also understood this truth deeply, so he still made concessions at the critical moment.
Wei Duan preserved the integrity of Hanyang, Longxi and An Ding, and could get a strong support like Liu Chuang. In this way, he could survive and develop in the cracks, and use the conflict between Liu Chuang and Cao Cao to strengthen himself, which also gained a lot...
However, how to naturalize Hehuang is also a problem that Xu Shu must face.
After asking for advice from Yang Fu, Xu Shu decided to send an envoy to Hehuang to divide the Qiang and Hu.
Doesn’t Shaodang want to dominate the whole family? Those Qiang tribes that oppose the Lao Qiang can become the force to fight against the Lao Qiang.
But who will be sent to?
Just when Xu Shu was hesitating, Zhuge Jun volunteered.
This child is not young anymore, and he has gradually shown his talents.
In the battle of the northern part, Zhuge Jun made plans and took over Lian County without knowing the knowledge of Liu Chuang's swordsman warriors and camp gods. Then Zhang Ji sent troops to rescue him, but was defeated by Zhao Yun. In this battle, Zhuge Jun planned carefully and had his smart calculations fully revealed.
When he heard that Xu Shu was going to send someone to Hehuang, Zhuge Jun expressed his willingness to go without saying a word.
This little guy is facing his second brother!
Unlike Zhuge Jun in history, Zhuge Jun in this life has achieved comprehensive development. He first followed Liu Chuang and went to Nanshan Academy to study. He had a good knowledge and was unparalleled eloquence. In his heart, he always wanted to surpass Zhuge Liang, so he refused to let him go when he encountered an opportunity. Xu Shu also admired Zhuge Jun's competitive spirit very much, and the two became best friends because of this.
Of course, he wanted to help Zhuge Jun, but he just let Zhuge Jun go alone, but he was a little worried.
So, he asked Zhao Yun to accompany him.
First, Zhao Yun is extremely brave and can protect Zhuge Jun; second, this Battle of Jincheng is Ma Chao's battle of revenge. Although Zhao Yun is the son-in-law of the Ma family, Ma Chao does not want Zhao Yun to participate as well. He hopes to rely on his own strength to solve Han Sui.
Zhao Yun had no choice but to quit.
But Xu Shu thought it would be a pity to let Zhao Yun stay so idle.
Zhao Yun was also Ma Chao's brother-in-law. He asked him to go to Hehuang for a walk, which was also considered to avenge his dead father-in-law, and would not make Ma Chao feel unhappy.
Zhao Yun, pleased to accept the order.
The sky is vast and the wilderness is vast. The wind blows the grass and sees cattle and sheep.
This is almost a true portrayal of Hehuang, which only surprised Zhuge Jun along the way.
He and Zhao Yun were whispering while rushing to the road.
At this moment, I suddenly heard news from the front that a team of Qiang cavalry was heading towards them...
"The arrow is lifted and the formation is formed!"
Zhao Yun immediately sent an order without saying a word.
The Yafeng Cavalry was born from the Feixiong Cavalry. They were all warriors from a hundred, and they had rigorous training and repeated battles.
When he heard about the enemy situation, the arrow cavalry was not panicked at all. In an instant, they formed a geese formation, and they were all sharp arrows on the horse.
In the distance, a team of Qiang cavalry was approaching quickly.
From the speed of the other party's running, Zhao Yun saw the clue: the person who came was not good.
"Ziheng, retreat to the central army, the people who died have arrived."
As Zhao Yun spoke, he suddenly urged him to step forward, raised his hand and took off his big gun.
He pulled down the silver mask on his helmet, covering most of his face, only revealing his mouth and chin.
The sun shone on the mask, reflecting dazzling silver light. As the Qiang cavalry was getting closer and closer, there was no sign of slowing down.
Zhao Yun was even more sure that this Qiang cavalry was by no means a good person.
"Yangfeng, shoot!"
With a command, eight hundred arrows behind him roared out, and rushed towards the Qiang cavalry.
Seeing that it entered the range, the arrows opened their bows and shot arrows. In an instant, the arrows were like raining, shooting towards the Qiang people rushing towards the opposite side. The Qiang cavalry obviously did not expect that this Han army would be so bold. In Hehuang, they dared to attack the Qiang people?
However, it's too late to regret.
The Qiang cavalry who rushed in the front were all dismissed amid a series of screams.
After the arrows were rushing, the two were approaching. They immediately put away their bows and arrows, drew their swords and unsheathed them, and rushed towards the other side.
"Which Qiang thief is it?"
Zhuge Jun had no fear on his face and urged his horse to come to Zhao Yun and asked softly.
Zhao Yun had no expression on his face, and he sat firmly on his claws. "A group of clowns, no matter what origins he is?" (To be continued.
