Chapter 938 Western Qiang and Liaodong Are Settled
The latest website: "Has our reinforcements arrived yet? If this continues, we will be wiped out."
Han Sui was besieged by the rebellious Qiang tribe in the deep mountains and old forests, and the Xiliang cavalry around him became less and less as the battle progressed.
Han Sui brought about 20,000 cavalry from Xiliang. In many battles with the Qiang tribe, he suffered 11,000 casualties, but he was still unable to break through the siege of the Qiang cavalry.
The morale of Han Sui's army has dropped to the bottom.
"General, our reinforcements have arrived!"
"Finally waiting for reinforcements!"
Han Sui got up. He had been trapped for a long time and his clothes were disheveled. If there were no reinforcements, Han Sui might be defeated and killed.
To be annihilated by the Qiang tribe, for Han Sui, his reputation would be discredited and unacceptable.
A galloping horse ran into the Qiang infantry, and General Fubo Ma Yuan, holding a longbow in his hand, led the cavalry of the Fourth Corps of the Xiliang Army to break through the siege of the Qiang cavalry!
The infantry of the Wudang Flying Army dashed across the mountains and forests, firing bows and arrows, and from time to time some Qiang infantrymen were killed by arrows!
Qin Liangyu charged forward on a horse, stabbed out with a long spear, and the shadow of the spear was like a forest, killing the Qiang cavalry in front of him!
Qin Liangyu passed by like a gust of wind, and a dozen Qiang cavalry fell from their horses.
"Retreat into the depths of the forest!"
The leaders of the Qiang people, Yao Yizhong and Yao Xiang, saw Han Sui's reinforcements coming and knew that they were invincible, so they broke up and fled into a more remote mountain forest.
According to Yao Yizhong, Yao Xiang's father and son's thinking, the Xiliang army had hunted westward to the deep mountains and old forests in order to crusade against the Qiang tribe, and consumed as many as one million taels of silver.
The Xiliang army used 110,000 soldiers and horses to crusade against Xiqiang. Both soldiers and horses needed to consume a lot of food and grass, and they needed to forcefully recruit strong men to transport food.
However, the Xia Palace paid tens of millions of taels of military pay a year, and they were determined to completely put down the Qiang chaos.
The generals of the Xiliang Army did not want the Xiqiang tribe to surrender in order to gain military exploits.
Ma Yuan and Qin Liangyu pursued closely, and the Xiqiang army was defeated and fled.
"General,
We lived up to expectations and successfully obtained reinforcements! "
Hou Xuan and Cheng Yin, two Xiliang generals, joined Han Sui with their wounds.
"Our group of fierce generals from Xiliang are not even as good as a female stream?"
Seeing that Qin Liangyu was chasing and killing the Qiang people, Han Sui couldn't help but sigh because he had to wait for Ma Yuan and Qin Liangyu to rescue him.
Qin Liangyu led the Wudang flying army and white pole soldiers, beheading tens of thousands of rebels, making the Qiang people frightened.
Qin Liangyu's two armies were good at fighting in the mountains, and the terrain advantages of the Qiang troops disappeared.
The Qiang people fled in desperation, Yao Xiang, a general of the Qiang people, shot and killed a Xiliang cavalry soldier who was chasing him, and fled on the road.
"Father, let's escape to Qinghai Lake!"
"For the current plan, we can only withdraw from Jincheng County and avoid the advance of the Xiliang Army."
Yao Yizhong and Yao Xiang fled to the west for two hundred li.
However, Xiliang army leader Xu Fengnian, military adviser Xie Ai, and fierce general Ma Chao have led the Xiliang cavalry to make a detour to intercept the Qiang cavalry who wanted to flee to Qinghai Lake.
"This time, all of Huang Zhongyi Cong Hu died or surrendered. The Fourth Army of Ma Yuan and Yang Shihou killed 17,000 rebels, Qin Liangyu killed 23,000 rebels, and the First Army killed 18,000 rebels. In addition to those who were affected, the young and strong Qiang tribes died in battle, at least 100,000, and their vitality was seriously injured. Just kill Yao Yizhong, Yao Xiang and his son, and then spread the word to the entire Western Qiang tribe, and then millions of Qiang people can be forced to land , put an end to the Qiang Rebellion.”
Xu Fengnian launched a war against the Western Qiang. If Huang Zhong Yi Conghu is counted, the Qiang tribe lost more than 100,000 young and strong.
For the small Xiqiang tribe, the loss of 100,000 young and strong means that they lost the ability to launch a rebellion for a long time.
Yao Yizhong and Yao Xiang led more than ten thousand Qiang cavalry to flee westward. When they saw Xu Fengnian, Xie Ai, Ma Teng, Ma Chao, and Pang De lined up in front, their faces turned pale.
Xu Fengnian has been a prince for many years, and Xie Ai is also a white-clothed military adviser. He has already seen through the retreat of the Qiang cavalry.
Ma Chao took the initiative to plead with Xu Fengnian: "Meng Qi is willing to take the head of the enemy general!"
Not to be outdone, Pang De secretly competed with Ma Chao: "All I need is a big sword, and I will defeat the enemy in a thousand armies!"
Xu Fengnian had no doubts about the force of these two men, so he said: "You attack together."
Ma Chao and Pang De each held their own weapons, and led the iron cavalry from Xiliang to attack the Qiang cavalry!
...
In the main world, Chang'an City, Chu Tian, who set out from here to participate in the national war, came back, and the 100,000 elites who participated in the national war regrouped without loss.
However, Siphias, Valus, Himiko and others recruited by Chutian from the national war have all come to the main world, and they have officially joined Chutian's forces.
"The Seventh Legion of the Praetorian Guard, headed by Joan of Arc, under the jurisdiction of the Protectorate Army, the Hussite Army, the Byzantine Army, and the Roman Army."
Chutian incorporated military generals from other civilizations——Jesika, the master of Chebao tactics in the Kingdom of Bohemia, Siphias, the famous border guard of the Byzantine Empire, and Valus, the governor of the Germanic provinces in the Octavian era, into the forbidden kingdom. The Seventh Legion of the Guards was commanded by Joan of Arc, but actually the commander behind it was Chu Tian.
Kautilya of the Mauryan Dynasty in ancient India, Chutian temporarily arranged to serve as the internal affairs staff. In the future, Kautilya will play a big role in marching to the Indian Peninsula.
Himiko served as one of the counselors. When attacking the four islands of Japan, Himiko can be used to appease people's hearts.
Himiko can be regarded as the Queen of Japan who is relatively close to the Central Plains.
"My lord, the Xiliang Army attacked the First Army, the Fourth Army, and the Qin Liangyu Army of the Western Qiang. They defeated the Western Qiang rebels and captured 100,000 people. The leaders of the Qiang people, Yao Yizhong and Yao Xiang, were killed by Ma Chao and Pang De! Li Wenhou, the leader of Yi Conghu, surrendered, forbid, he was beheaded by Ma Chao!"
"The Xiliang army killed 30,000 soldiers and horses in order to put down the Qiang rebellion!"
"It seems that Xu Fengnian did a good job while I was away. At the last moment, he completely pacified the Xiqiang tribe."
Chu Tian also heard that Xu Fengnian won the title of "Butcher" when he pacified Xiqiang.
Chu Tian is now holding a soldier talisman of Huangzhong Yi Conghu in his hand.
Huangzhong Yi Conghu, a fifth-tier light infantry soldier, comes from the Qiang tribe in Huangzhong, Jincheng County. He is good at mountain warfare, bows and crossbows.
"This soldier talisman is for Xu Fengnian."
Chu Tian knew that Xu Fengnian was familiar with the terrain of Liangzhou, and it happened that Xu Fengnian did not have any special arms, so he asked Xu Fengnian to give this soldier talisman to form Huangzhong Yi Conghu again.
Xu Fengnian is like a butcher in the eyes of the Qiang people. Under his supervision, the Qiang people must not dare to act rashly.
Recruiting Huang Zhongyi Conghu has little effect on Chutian, and the pacification of Qiang chaos is more significant to Chutian.
This time, in order to quell the Qiang rebellion, the Xia Palace paid several million taels of silver back and forth, and the plundered cattle and sheep were far from enough to pay.
In addition to knowing that the Xiliang army had successfully pacified Xiqiang during the national war, Chutian sent generals to attack Liaodong to basically pacify Liaodong, and recruited a group of surrendered troops, all of which were waiting for Chutian to deal with.
King Xia's mansion recruits Tadun to surrender, but the Wuhuan nobles hold Tadun hostage and rebel in order to gain bargaining chips.
Under Yu Wentai's persuasion, the Xianbei Yuwen tribe took the initiative to attack the Wuhuan tribe.
Yu Wentai led 20,000 Xianbei cavalry, smashed 100,000 Wuhuan cavalry, beheaded 37 Wuhuan tribe leaders, and shocked Liaodong!
After Yuwentai captured Tadun and other three Wuhuan kings, he dedicated them to the Xia Palace, and then persuaded his ancestor Yuwen Yidou to return, and led the Yuwen Xianbei tribe to beg for surrender, willing to hand over power in exchange for the safety of the tribe.
"Yu Wentai deserves to be the prime minister of the Western Wei Dynasty and the founder of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. If he didn't appear so late, maybe he has a place to stand."
Chu Tian looked at Yu Wentai, a Xianbei man, with admiration.
Yu Wentai knew that the general situation was over, so he actively looked for opportunities, made contributions to his crimes, and fought for preferential treatment for his tribe.
Yuwentai's ability is beyond doubt, with 20,000 Xianbei cavalry defeating 100,000 Wuhuan cavalry.
Chu Tian did not refuse Yu Wentai's intention to surrender, after all, Yu Wentai is a smart person, and when dealing with smart people, he knows what both sides need.
What Chutian wants is loyalty, and Chutian has a large number of famous generals who can suppress Yuwentai, and Yuwentai can't revitalize it at all with the basic strength of the Xianbei tribe.
Unless Chutian did something wrong to Yuwentai, there is no need for Yuwentai to rebel.
"If the Yuwen Xianbei tribe returns, then send officials to collect it and split it into four tribes, one to move to the Guanzhong, one to move to the west of Liaoning, one to the east of Liaodong, and one to the south of Monan, and set up a separate pasture. And, before the migration of the population in the pass Go live with them and develop Liaoxi, Liaodong, and Monan at the same time."
Chutian intends to completely assimilate the Xianbei people and make Xianbei disappear from then on, just like what happened in history, so he split them up, mixed them, managed them according to the model in the pass, and forcibly assimilated them.
Chutian is more concerned about Yuwentai. As for the leader of Yuwen Xianbei, Yuwen Yidougui, he is only Yuwentai's ancestor, so Yuwentai regards him as the master. In fact, Yuwen Yidougui's ability is far worse than Yuwentai.
"Send Yu Wentai to the Third Army of the Xiliang Army, and be in the same army as Li Hu and Duguxin."
Yu Wentai was transferred by Chu Tian to the unfamiliar Xiliang Army to reduce his influence among the Xianbei tribe.
Yuwentai, Li Hu, and Duguxin are all generals of the Western Wei Dynasty (Northern Zhou Dynasty), and Yuwentai is also the master of Li Hu and Duguxin. The relationship between them is like Cao Cao and the five good generals.
In this way, the Xiliang army became stronger.
If there is time, Chutian thinks it is necessary to invite Yu Wentai to bring him closer, and at the same time pay attention to his loyalty.
Yu Wentai's ambition should be higher than that of Cao Cao, and he belongs to one of the most difficult group of people for Chutian forces to control.
Whether Xiao Chuo's ambition value is high or low, Chu Tian doesn't know, because Xiao Chuo wants to be in the top position, and he has to be attached to Chu Tian.
If you want to control ambitious generals, you must stay strong and not suffer heavy losses.
As soon as the forces of Mingguan and Lao Qin were frustrated, many generals launched a rebellion, which can be seen.
In this way, he can also recruit the captured generals of Mingguan.
Chu Tian thought that he seemed to have captured a few generals who were cleared.
Not only that, Xia Jun captured Liaodong City, and the generals who were unwilling to leave the Mingguan forces chose to surrender to Xia Jun, and this group of generals also surrendered to Chutian.
