At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

Time flies, and it is April in a blink of an eye, and the land in Guanzhong is getting hotter and hotter.

All the forces in the world are fairly restrained, and no major war has broken out.

Except that Liu Bei was defeated again.

Cao Ren led an army of 30,000 to raid Runan County. Liu Bei was defeated in a row, and finally the whole army was defeated.

Liu Bei once again used his talent for escaping, leading the defeated generals to escape from Cao Ren's hands, and fled directly to Jingzhou, preparing to seek refuge with Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou who was also a clan member of the Han Dynasty.

The land of Guanzhong also followed Han Sui's destruction, Ma Chao surrendered, and the Xianbei people retreated into a short-term calm.

However, the Qiang people who lost 400,000 elites caused wars in Longxi County, Jincheng County, Wuwei County and other places.

The reason is also very simple, Qiang people want to live.

Hundreds of thousands of Qiang people began to riot after returning to Liu Zhang to no avail.

For a time, rebellions broke out everywhere in Liangzhou.

The 400,000 strong Qiang people have nothing to do with Liu Zhang, so what can the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled do?

The entire Liangzhou has been fortified and cleared. Except for the city, there is no food!

Even under the effect of severe cold, even vegetation and bark are very rare.

The Qiang people had no choice but to attack Liu Zhang's high and deep city wall in order to survive.

As a result, it is conceivable that the Qiang people died and injured more than 100,000 people again, while Liu Zhang's Yizhou army took advantage of the city wall, and the loss was minimal!

Facts have proved that Liu Zhang completely overestimated the determination of the Qiang people to attack the city.

In less than a month, the eyes of the Qiang people shifted from the city wall to other Qiang people.

The five chiefs were killed at the same time, the elite of the five tribes were wiped out, and it was time for the Qiang people to reshuffle their cards.

For a while, all the Qiang tribes pointed their butcher knives at their companions who had fought side by side.

The small tribes unite with each other to attack the big tribes that have oppressed them for a long time.

Due to the loss of all the elite, the numerical advantage of the big tribe has become a burden instead.

Not only are all the clansmen old, weak, sick and disabled, but they also have to consume huge amounts of food and grass all the time.

Once war breaks out, there is no possibility of restraint at all.

The Qiang people also used practical actions to tell Liu Zhang and the Yizhou army what it means to start a war and decide it!

Since there are almost no elites in the warring parties, a large number of Qiang people die every day.

After only one month of large-scale tribal annexation and looting of property, the Qiang people stopped fighting.

All the Qiang people in Liangzhou were completely devastated by the war.

The Qiang people over 50 years old are the main force in the war, and they are almost extinct!

There are no Qiang people between twenty and fifty, and they are completely rare!

More than half of the entire Qiang people were injured. Apart from women, the tribe consisted of children under the age of ten.

Just when the Qiang people thought they could finally usher in peace, the high-walled and deep-fortified cities in the counties of Liangzhou opened their gates.

With Liu Zhang's order, tens of thousands of troops marched to the battlefield, causing the entire Liangzhou to fight again.

However, the war started suddenly and ended very suddenly.

The Qiang people have no power to resist at all. Many tribes can't make up an army if they add up all the men!

Facing the wolf-like Yizhou army, the only way to perish is to surrender unconditionally!

Under the command of Lu Su, the governor of Liangzhou appointed by Liu Zhang, the Yizhou Army began to accept the Qiang people in a large number, and uniformly distributed and resettled them.

Among the surrendered Qiang people, those who are good at herding and raising horses will be given priority.

Lu Su, governor of Liangzhou, has gathered all the cattle, sheep and horses captured in the war. These Qiang people who are good at herding will be arranged in a unified way to continuously breed livestock and breed war horses.

The rest of the Qiang people, regardless of gender, learned farming according to the requirements.

In this way, Liu Zhang got hundreds of thousands of Qiang people in Tuntian at almost no cost.

Blindly oppressing can only end up being forced to resist. Liu Zhang deeply understands this truth.

Therefore, the surrendered Qiang people were treated equally, and they were not treated as slaves.

The Qiang people only need to farm for Liu Zhang for three years before they can regain their freedom and gain the status of ordinary people.

Not only is there no danger to life, but there is no need to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation in the future.

This is hardly a price. After all, it took three years for the Qiang people to learn how to farm and acquire survival skills.

The only regret is that the elite Qiang people were almost wiped out, and Liu Zhang was unable to recruit soldiers from the Qiang people in Liangzhou.

The benefits are also very obvious. When the next generation of Qiang people grow up, they will be assimilated by the Han people very seriously.

One day, the problem of the Qiang rebellion will be completely resolved.

After most of the Qiang people in Jincheng County, Longxi County, and Wuwei County were attached, the time to occupy Liangzhou also came.

Liu Zhang ordered Pan Feng to lead the troops of the headquarters and 5,000 soldiers from Yizhou County to march westward to conquer Zhangye County, Jiuquan County, Xihai County and Dunhuang County one by one.

After subduing the counties in Hexi, Pan Feng led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to garrison Yumen Pass and served as the guard of Yumen Pass.

With Lu Su serving as the governor of Liangzhou and the gradual attachment of Qiang people from all over the country, Cheng Gongying can also step down as the prefect of Jincheng and go to Dunhuang County to serve as the prefect of Dunhuang.

Liu Zhang gave Cheng Gongying great power, allowing him to boldly connect with the countries of the Western Regions with confidence.

Pan Feng led five thousand troops to Yumen Pass to provide Cheng Gongying with enough confidence.

After several months of fighting, coupled with the continuous admission of Qiang people, there was finally a problem with food and grass.

In less than half a year, the Yizhou army once again consumed nearly a million shi of grain and grass!

Even if Liu Zhang is as strong-willed, after hearing Xun You's report on the remaining food and grass, his head can't help buzzing.

Liangzhou is like a bottomless pit, as if Yizhou can be completely emptied at any time!

Fortunately, there is no unparalleled road. Just when Liu Zhang emptied the Hanzhong grain depot, Jia Xu finally raised another one million stones of grain and grass, and successfully transported it to Hanzhong.

But what followed was a letter from Jia Xu to Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang praised and sighed to Jia Xu, this one million stones of grain and grass is no different from life-saving food for the Yizhou army!

Even Xun You didn't expect Jia Xu to raise so much!

Liu Zhang happily opened Jia Xu's letter, thinking that it must have explained in detail the source of grain and grass.

The result was completely different from what Liu Zhang had imagined. There was not a single word in the letter!

Jia Xu sent Liu Zhang a blank letter.

According to Liu Zhang's understanding of Jia Xu, the other party would not be careless enough to take the wrong letter.

Explain that this blank letter is what Jia Xu meant.

After thinking hard for a long time, Liu Zhang also understood what Jia Xu meant.

I'm afraid they are saying that the treasury of Yizhou is like this letter, not even a grain of grain can be produced!

While Liu Zhang smiled helplessly, he still couldn't help expressing his deep admiration for Jia Xu.

Jia Xu must have worked hard and gone through a lot of hardships to get this one million stones of food and grass together!

With food, Liu Zhang can continue his conquest.

There are still Xianbei people ahead, and a large piece of land in Guanzhong is waiting for him!
