The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 447
After Ma Chao, Pang De, and Ma Dai went to Yangping Pass to garrison, they immediately used their own advantages and money advantages to win over the Di people in Wudu, and the effect was very significant.

The Di people and the Qiang people were originally a family, and Ma Chao can be regarded as half of the Qiang people.

Ma Teng's mother is from the Qiang nationality. When he was young, his family was poor and he made a living by cutting and selling firewood. Later, he married a Qiang woman and gave birth to Ma Chao.Ma Chao also grew up among the Qiang people since he was a child, so he has a very close relationship with the Qiang people.

Ma Chao has half of the Qiang lineage, and grew up among the Qiang people. His father, Ma Teng, is eight feet tall, has a handsome appearance, and a virtuous temperament. Therefore, Ma Chao was called "General Shenweitian" by the Qiang people.

The Han people in this era crushed the minorities both physically and psychologically, and Ma Chao had the supreme status among the Qiang people.Even now, Ma Chao's status is still quite lofty, and there is also the custom of enshrining Ma Chao as a door god in Hebei, especially in areas where the Qiang people were active.

Therefore, after Sima Yi came to Wudu, he soon felt that something was wrong.

The people are the foundation of the rule, and seven out of ten people in Wudu are ethnic minorities, and the Di people are the main ones.Cao Jun stationed so many troops in Xiabian, including nearly [-] cavalry, which required a lot of food and grass, and the geographical environment of Wudu is a bit special. Although it belongs to Liangzhou, it is actually very inconvenient to communicate with Liangzhou and Guanzhong.

Wudu is located in the West Qinling Mountains, surrounded by mountains on all sides. If you want to go to Guanzhong, you can only go north to Liangzhou, and then turn east to Guanzhong.However, there is a relatively flat Yangping Road between Wudu and Hanzhong, so long ago, both Wudu and Hanzhong belonged to Yizhou.

Now that Hanzhong has been taken by Zhang Wu, Liangzhou is already relatively barren, so Cao Jun in Wudu needs to support grain and grass from Guanzhong, or collect from the people in Wudu on the spot.

The level of agricultural development in this era is not high. Wudu is still full of mountains, and the agricultural technology of ethnic minorities is even more backward. They can't even fill their own stomachs. How can there be surplus food to support Cao Jun!

Now Ma Chao is making trouble here again, and he has made good wishes for the Di people. The Di people have long been looking forward to Ma Chao's call, so they are quite hostile to Cao Jun.

Not only can they not receive food, but people often make troubles. How can this military capital be guarded?
Sima Yi asked Yang Fu: "Yishan, this military capital has been pacified for many years, why is political affairs so difficult?"

In Sima Yi's mind, although there are many Hu people in Wudu, Liangzhou has been recovered for so many years, Yang Fu is also a relatively capable official, and since Wudu is relatively close to Yizhou, there are also many troops stationed in Xiabian City. Why is the mass base still so poor now?

Yang Fu is indeed an official with outstanding abilities. He is not only good at handling civil affairs, but also has a good command of military affairs. He was a military officer in Liangzhou in his early years.After he came to Wudu, he adopted a policy of appeasement, and the barbarians in Wudu basically settled down. After all, everyone still had to live on. Ma Chao had already lost, and the new officials were more gentle. Give me some face!

But after Xia Houyuan came, he did one thing, which immediately destroyed the harmonious and stable situation. Because of the lack of food, Xia Houyuan even led his troops to rob the Di people of food.

Although Xia Houyuan was aggrieved by Li Yan's killing, Xia Houyuan's reputation in Liangzhou was no worse than Zhang Liao's reputation in Jiangdong in history, because Xia Houyuan had been in Liangzhou to quell the Qiang rebellion everywhere since he defeated Ma Chao with Cao Cao.

After Ma Chao's defeat, some of the remaining tribes refused to surrender and even gathered people to riot. Xia Houyuan personally led his troops to raid many Qiang tribe's Laowo Changli Qiang village, beheading many of them.Later, Xia Houyuan defeated Agui, king of Xingguo, and Yang Wanwan, king of Baixiang Di, and then turned to Gaoping and Tuge, all victorious.

In addition, Xia Houyuan sent Zhang He and others to lead troops to pacify Heguan, cross the river and go deep into Xiaohuangzhong. All the Qiang tribes in the west of Hexi surrendered, and Cao Cao praised it as "Hubu Guanyou".

It can be said that most of Xiahouyuan's achievements were obtained by fighting against the Qiang and Di tribes. Every time Cao Cao met with the leaders of Qiang and Hu, he ordered Xiahouyuan to accompany them to deter the Qiang and Hu kings.

So, would Xia Houyuan think highly of Di people?If I ask you for some food, I think I think highly of you, but you don't give it?Then I will take it by myself. Over the years, I have killed more Qiang and Di people than all the Di people in your entire Wudu combined!

After Yang Fu told Sima Yi about this, he smiled bitterly and said: "General Miaocai not only robbed their food, but also killed many people who resisted. This has long aroused their strong dissatisfaction, but there are only some people in the city and Hanzhong." The army is holding it down, so no one dares to resist. Now that Hanzhong has been lost, as far as I know, Ma Chao stationed his troops at Yangping Pass and secretly made friends with Di people. There is nothing I can do!"

Sima Yi was a little speechless, the good situation on the entire western front was ruined by Xia Houyuan, not only lost Hanzhong, even Wudu was not stable.Originally, Xiahouyuan was here to guard here, even if they robbed the food of the Di people and killed their people, they would not dare to resist, even if they resisted, they could easily be suppressed.

But who would have expected that Xia Houyuan would die suddenly, and the entire western front collapsed at once, and it would be such a bad situation when Sima Yi led his troops to arrive.

The worst thing is that Ma Chao, the "Shenweitian General" in the hearts of the Qiang and Di people, has made a comeback. This time he is not fighting alone, Zhang Wu stands behind him!

Sima Yi is not afraid of Ma Chao at all, because although personal bravery is very useful, it cannot determine the outcome of a war. He has a hundred ways to kill Ma Chao, but if an invincible general like Ma Chao is paired with a super strategist, it will be difficult. dealt with.

Lu Bujia and Chen Gong almost killed Cao Cao back then, and Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu almost killed Cao Cao.

Now Ma Chao no longer starts his own business, but works with Zhang Wu. He went to Yangping Pass to garrison and secretly colluded with the Di people in Wudu. It must have been Zhang Wu's instruction.With the strength of Zhang Wu Group, Ma Chao's prestige among the Di people, and the evil done by Xia Houyuan, the Di people and other barbarians in Wudu will definitely join Zhang Wu.

This weapon is not easy to defend!

Sima Yi felt a little uncomfortable. Although his current position is Xiahou Dun's military adviser, he was dispatched by Cao Cao. Xiahou Dun also knew Sima Yi's ability and status. Therefore, Sima Yi had a great say in the military on the Western Front. It can be said that the entire Western Front Military strategy is largely dictated by Sima Yi.

This can be regarded as an independent military leader, relying on his own ability to fight against several major military advisors under Zhang Wu, but this start is hell mode.It's like Sima Yi playing in the mid lane, but encountering the pig-raising flow on the opposite side. The five people on the opposite side of the first wave of troops will kill him and demolish his tower.
