Chapter 866 Recapturing Xiliang

"General, the leaders of the Qiang people, Yao Yizhong and Yao Xiang, led the army of the Qiang people, burned the camp and fled back to the land of the Western Qiang!"

"Huang Zhongyi rebelled from Hu leader Li Wenhou, and led Huang Zhongyi to flee from Hu and return to Huangzhong, Jincheng County!"

"The general of the Di people, Lu Guang, rebelled, and the military generals Deng Qiang, Zhang Hao, and Xu Cheng held Fu Jian hostage, and all the Di people's army was taken away by them!"

The governor of Xiliang, Xie Ai, lost his strength because of the rebellion of the Qiang and Di people.

Currently beside Xie Ai, there are only two loyal generals, Xu Huang and Pound.

Moreover, among Xie Ai's elite troops, only the Xiliang iron cavalry is left.

Huang Zhongyi left the Xiliang army from Hu, as well as the elite troops of the Qiang and Di people. Xie Ai was already powerless to resist Xu Fengnian's offensive.

Xu Fengnian has a fierce general Ma Chao, and Huo An supports his general Huo Qubing.

Pound is not as brave as Ma Chao, Xu Huang is not as good as Huo Qubing in commanding troops, and he has no advantage in military strength.

The morale of the Xiliang army has dropped to a certain level.

Xie Ai can't sing alone.

"Seeing that the situation is not going well, the prefects of the three counties have defected to the Qiang people!"

Not only the Qiang people and the Di people rebelled, but also the three prefects, because they were afraid of falling into Xu Fengnian's hands, led the soldiers and horses of the three counties, fled to the Qiang tribe, joined Yao Yizhong and Yao Xiang, and avoided Xu Fengnian edge.

The prefects of the three players each have at least 20,000 to 30,000 county soldiers, so they are valued by Yao Yizhong and Yao Xiang, and they have become guest generals in the Qiang tribe, and their status is not low.

Xie Ai's army was even weaker, with less than 100,000 troops left.

On the opposite side, Xu Fengnian's troops reached more than 200,000.

"Lord Inspector, what should we do?"

Xu Huang admired Xie Ai's strategy and was still very convinced of Xie Ai. At this time, the Xiliang Army fell apart. He and Pang De wanted to know Xie Ai's specific attitude with Xie Ai as the leader.

Pang De was young and energetic, and said to Xie Ai: "It's better to fight to the death with Xu Fengnian and Huo Qubing. Someone is willing to raise the knife and fight bloody to the last person!"

Xie Ai said: "The dead are heavier than Mount Tai and lighter than a feather. Duke Ming has passed away, and there are still 70,000 soldiers and horses accompanying him.

We can die in battle, but it is really unnecessary to take the lives of 70,000 soldiers and horses for nothing. It's better to retreat to the right side of Fufeng and watch the situation again. "

After Xie Ai made his decision, Xie Ai, who had only two generals left, withdrew his troops from Xiliang, completely gave up Liangzhou, retreated to Youfufeng in Guanzhong to rest, and waited and watched.

In fact, in Xie Ai's view, with the death of Lao Qin, Lu Bu's accession to the throne, and the Qiangdi rebellion, the probability of Qin's victory is very slim.

What Xie Ai needed was to meet with any one of Jia Xu, Li Si, and Yang Dayan, and wanted to know exactly what Lao Qin had planned.

Xie Ai's Xiliang army retreated, and Xu Fengnian, the original lord of Longxi, recaptured Xiliang.

"I didn't expect to take back Liangzhou in this way. Lao Qin, a formidable opponent, lost to himself."

After Xu Fengnian learned that Xie Ai had withdrawn from Liangzhou, he did not lead his troops to pursue him.

Xie Ai is surrounded by two generals, Xu Huang and Pound. Among them, Xie Ai is a wise general, Xu Huang is one of the five good generals, and Pound is a fierce general. Xie Ai has 70,000 soldiers and horses. Looking back, if the fish dies and the net breaks, it is inevitable that there will be greater losses.

Secondly, Xu Fengnian believed that there was no need to pursue them.

Xie Ai fled back to Guanzhong. Chu Tian and Xu Fengnian attacked Guanzhong from Hedong and Xiliang respectively. Most of Xie Ai's army could not fly.

"If Xie Ai can be persuaded to surrender, then Chu Zimou will get a wise general, Xu Huang and Pang De will also serve, so there is no need to form a death feud."

Xu Fengnian's army advanced all the way, successively conquering Wuwei County, Hanyang County, and Longxi County.

When they entered Longxi County, Xu Fengnian, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others saw the familiar Didao, which used to be their main city, and they couldn't help sighing.

After many years, they fought back to Longxi.

It's just that things are different.

"My lord, if we return to Longxi, can we still separate one side?"

Han Sui asked Xu Fengnian.

Xu Fengnian is only in his thirties, and he still has time to re-separate.

Most of Liangzhou is now in the hands of Xu Fengnian.

As long as Xu Fengnian is willing, he can regain control of Xiliang.

"No, since you have already agreed to join Chu Zimou, there is no need to go back on your word. Liangzhou has experienced many wars, and it should calm down from now on."

However, Xu Fengnian did not have the sharpness he had at the beginning, and now he is depressed.

Now Xu Fengnian regained Liangzhou, but it was just to make up for the regret of losing Liangzhou at the beginning.

"What is the reason for Xie Ai's retreat?"

"The spies have found out that the Qiang people, the Di people's tribe, and the prefects of the three counties rebelled and betrayed Xie Ai. The Qiang people ruled the Huangzhong area of ​​Jincheng County and the Qinghai area, calling themselves the Qiang Kingdom. The Di people's tribe separated Wudu County and blocked Qishan. Shandao, claiming to be the Kingdom of Di."

"So that's the case. I said that Xie Ai has many strong generals, and he is not lacking in resourcefulness. Why did he take the initiative to give up Liangzhou? It turned out to be an internal rebellion. Jincheng County and Wudu County in Liangzhou were occupied by the Qiang and Di people. It seems that It is not so easy to completely pacify Liangzhou."

As the original lord of Longxi, Xu Fengnian knew that it was not easy to pacify the Qiang and Di tribes.

It's not that they can't beat the Qiang and Di tribes, but because the Qiang and Di people live in deep mountains, old forests, and plateau mountains. It takes a lot of time and energy to pacify these tribes.

"Wait, the Di people ran to Wudu County, then..."

Xu Fengnian guessed the marching route of the Di rebels.

The last time Zhang Dao sent troops to attack Liangzhou, it was to attack Wudu County and send troops out of Qishan.

Now the Diren rebels are doing the opposite, entering the Qishan Mountain Road and capturing Wudu County, then the next target is likely to be Hanzhong.

The Di people have a large number of rebels and need a rich place for supplies.

Hanzhong County run by Zhang Dao is a piece of fat in the eyes of the Di rebels.

Moreover, Hanzhong's terrain is relatively closed, and it can completely become a country by itself.

"Zhang Dao seems to be at war with Yang Su. The Di rebels have entered Hanzhong at this time. Hanzhong, which has always been peaceful, is probably going to suffer."

It was not easy for Xu Fengnian to save Zhang Dao, because the Qishan mountain road was already controlled by the Di people's rebels. As long as an army was stationed in Qishan, Xu Fengnian could be delayed for a long time.

In Liangzhou, there were also Qiang rebels and prefects of the three counties rebelling.

In Wudu County, Fu Jian was hijacked here by the Qiang rebels, with a gloomy expression.

He was held hostage by the rebels and forced to become the leader of the rebels.

Various rebel generals wanted to conquer Hanzhong and establish a kingdom.

Fu Jian is not very optimistic, because the princes have entered the late stage of separatism and chaos. The princes who were strong in the early stage will become stronger and stronger, and the princes who rose in the later stage have no chance.

The Di people's fierce general Lu Guang, as well as the Han people's fierce generals Deng Qiang, Zhang Hao, Xu Cheng, etc., all wanted to achieve great things.

Lu Guang asked people to spread out the sheepskin map: "Zhang Dao in Hanzhong fought with Yang Su, the prefect of Bajun, and his troops gathered in the south of Hanzhong. We set off from Wudu County and invaded Hanzhong. Hanzhong must be in our pocket."

"I heard that Zhang Dao has three brothers, Zhang Jiao, and generals Li Zicheng, Chen Sheng, and Wu Guang under Zhang Dao's command. They can quickly recruit soldiers and horses."

"We teamed up with several people. Although there are many soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, they are just a group of chickens and dogs."

"Then march to the Hanzhong Army immediately!"

The Di rebels captured Wudu County and marched towards Hanzhong.

Sovereign Fu Jian was once again held hostage by a rebel general.

The leader of Hanzhong, Zhang Dao, set up scouts in Wudu County, and he frowned when he learned that the Di rebels had marched straight in and wanted to take Hanzhong.

"My luck seems to be too bad..."
