Han counter current

After beheading Shaodang Xiaowang and recruiting thousands of Qiang cavalry, Ma Chao sent people to subdue the Shaodang Qiang tribe, and at the same time sent people to spread the word.

Shaodang Qiang can be regarded as a powerful tribe among the Qiang people, but after the tragic death of King Shaodang and a series of military defeats, it is now considered to be in much decline and tends to split.

The Shaodang Qiang subjugated by Ma Chao accounted for more than half of the entire population of Shaodang, which was also thanks to Chen Feng's support. Otherwise, it would have been really difficult to do it with Ma Chao's own prestige alone.

After staying in Guangwei for two days, Chen Feng decided to set off again.In these two days, he completed the rectification and cleansing of the local aristocratic family, basically controlling the aristocratic family here.

The Wang family, the Yang family and other aristocratic families actively sent their children to serve as officials at Chen Feng's invitation, or as generals in the army. In short, they tied their own interests with Chen Feng.

Other nearby counties also heard about what happened in Guangwei, and the aristocratic families there also inquired about how Chen Feng dealt with the opponents.

The Sima family, as powerful as it was, was not wiped out by Chen Feng's words. Hundreds of years of inheritance, just cut off in Chen Feng's hands, this deterrent power is not small.

"After this rebellion, I believe that no one in Xiliang will dare to provoke me anymore. Hey, although I have a butcher knife in my hand, I am not a bloodthirsty person. Why are you forcing me?"

In the living room, Chen Feng poured himself a drink. When he came to Guangwei this time, many people lost their lives because of him. Even after two days, the city still smelled of blood.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect.Although Chen Feng is ruthless, he is unwilling to commit more crimes. Unfortunately, in this world, not everything can go as he wants.

"My lord, please tell Ma Dai something."

Outside the door, Ma Dai was standing there in military uniform, and was released by the Ghost Face Army after receiving Chen Feng's promise. Looking at this young Ma family boy, Chen Feng quickly told him to sit down.

"Bo Zhan, this trip to Xiliang has worked hard for you. Now that Meng Qi has gone to train soldiers and horses, and Ling Ming has to take care of other important tasks, there will not be many available around me."

Chen Feng poured a cup of tea for Ma Dai, and he didn't treat Ma Dai as an outsider at all in his words and demeanor.Judging from this intimate behavior, he should pay attention to Ma Dai.

In fact, Chen Feng attached great importance to the brothers of the Ma family.Needless to say, Ma Chao's ability, beheading generals, mowing flags, charging into battle, there are only a few people who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him in this world.

For a fierce general like Ma Chao, Chen Feng naturally wished for it, but for Ma Dai, Chen Feng also had great expectations.

In terms of command ability, military force, and military talent, Ma Dai is not bad. Although he is not as good as Ma Chao in martial arts, his best point is to develop in a balanced manner with all aspects.

Moreover, Ma Dai is good at learning and has high qualifications. As long as he is given enough platforms, his future achievements will be limitless.

Being alone with Chen Feng, and getting tea filled by the other party himself, Ma Dai felt a little uneasy, saying that he was also a subordinate, but he still knew his identity.

"My lord's great kindness, I will never forget it. This time protecting the lord on the westward journey is the job of the general, and I really dare not take credit for it."

Ma Dai quickly stood up and saluted. Chen Feng was too kind to him, but he couldn't stand it.

"Sit, sit, sit, Bo Zhan, don't look outside. I know you have ambitions, so I want to have a good talk with you.

Although Xiliang has been occupied by me, it has not yet been pacified. I need you to help me digest the land of Xiliang thoroughly. Moreover, there is a task that I want to entrust to you. "

While comforting Ma Dai, Chen Feng explained his thoughts to him.Seeing Ma Dai sitting there with a calm face, Chen Feng continued to say:

"You are more familiar with the land of Xiliang than I am, especially the area to the west of Xiliang, you also know that it was once occupied by Han Sui.

This person has been operating in these sites for many years. Although he has retreated now, who can guarantee that he will not come back again, so I want you to hold on to the sites west of Xiliang. "

"Han Sui old thief, I swear to kill him, my lord, don't worry, I will follow your orders, and I'm already starting to clean up Han Sui's remnants.

It won't be long before the dark lines left by Han Sui will be eliminated. As for the old man Han Sui himself, hum, if he didn't run fast, my brother and I would have cut off his head. "

As soon as Han Sui was mentioned, the angry expression appeared on Ma Dai's face.There is no way, it was Han Sui who ruined the Ma family, and Ma Dai must avenge this revenge.

"Han Sui is known as the Jiuqu Yellow River, and he has a lot of means, so far we haven't found out where he is hiding.

However, according to the previous information, Han Sui is very likely to go to the Western Regions now, and I have ordered Gongsun Ba to lead the army to guard Dunhuang.

But you also know that Dunhuang is sparsely populated and it is difficult to garrison troops. If a war breaks out, it is very likely that the flames of war will spread to Zhangye, Wuwei and other places.

Therefore, I want to continue to develop westward and build a defensive front. Among the soldiers under my command, apart from you, your brothers Meng Qi and Ling Ming are also more suitable.

But they each have important responsibilities, so I can only ask you.Bo Zhan, I want you to go to Dunhuang, and work with Gongsun Ba to farm in Dunhuang, train soldiers, and appease the people.

Build me the strongest line of defense in the west. If you can gain a firm foothold there, neither the Western Regions nor the Western Xianbei will pose a threat to my Xiliang land. "

It is not a good job to station troops in the bitter cold of Xiliang, especially places like Dunhuang, which are far away from the Central Plains dynasty, and to some extent are similar to wild lands.

"The lord has an order, how dare the general refuse to obey, the general will go to prepare and go to Dunhuang to station."

"Okay, I have Bo Zhan, so don't worry about the world being uneven. However, the land of Dunhuang is indeed bitter and cold, and the population is small, so I don't have much support for you.

But, I can tell you a few things.Dunhuang is originally the territory of my Han family. If you go, it is a legitimate occupation.

The population is insufficient. Apart from immigration, there are other ways. I know that there are slaves in many tribes in the Western Xianbei, and many of them are Han slaves. You can find a way from this aspect.

In addition, the various places in Xiqiang will definitely not be honest. I allow you to find opportunities to expand your strength. In small-scale wars, you can fight however you want.

In addition, you have to prepare well in Dunhuang. Hehe, I have always wanted to open up the Silk Road. As long as the time is right, the Dunhuang garrison will definitely be the vanguard. "

"This, I finally understand, thank you, my lord,,,,,,"

Chapter 537 Recruiting talents 1

After leaving Guangwei, Chen Feng went on to other counties in Xiliang.Because of the destruction of the Sima family, other families that participated in the rebellion were punished.

Chen Feng had confiscated a lot of grain and money in Guangwei, and his father-in-laws didn't dare to hide anything. When they heard that Chen Feng needed grain to help the people, they generously moved out grain from the family warehouse one by one. .

With this batch of grain and grass, Chen Feng's work of helping the common people will be much easier to carry out.Regardless of whether they are Han people or Qiang people, as long as they abide by the law and are willing to accept Chen Feng's rule, they can get relief from the government.

This winter was very cold and the snow was heavy, but Chen Feng's arrival made many poor people feel warm.

In addition to food, Chen Feng also went to many villages to check things in person, and visited the division of fields, but he was not merciless when encountering corrupt officials.

As a result, the reputation of General Right's benevolence and righteousness quickly spread in Xiliang.What ordinary people want is a ruler who can feed them and clothe them warmly, and Chen Feng is undoubtedly very suitable.

And the local aristocratic families in Xiliang also deepened their understanding of Chen Feng through various news and rumors. In addition, Chen Feng also personally visited the local wealthy families, which greatly shortened the relationship between the two parties.

After Chen Feng's reputation spread, he soon won the allegiance of some local talents.

For example, Zhang Ji Zhang Derong, who was born in a poor family, was originally the prefect of Fufeng, and he was the one who assisted Cao Zhen to secretly sneak into the rear of the Xiliang army.

Then came the battle of burning Dangqiang. This person has good abilities, especially in terms of people's livelihood. After Chen Feng took Xiliang, this person didn't want to cause trouble to his upper body, so he hung his seal and left.

Now that Chen Feng completely controlled Xiliang, and the reputation of benevolence and righteousness spread, Zhang Ji finally agreed to serve as the governor of Guangwei under Chen Feng's repeated invitations.

Another example is Jiang Xu, who came from a wealthy family. He only wanted to cultivate himself at home, but his brother Jiang Jiong was good at martial arts.

On the way out to play, I accidentally ran into Han Long. At that time, Han Long had a mission, and the two sides had some misunderstandings. After a fight, Jiang Jiong refused to accept after being easily defeated, and then left each other's names and agreed to compare in the future.

Then, Jiang Jiong went home and mentioned the matter to his elder brother, and immediately after that, Guangwei set off a bloodbath.Based on the news his brother got and his own deduction, Jiang Xu guessed that the Guangwei incident was probably planned by Chen Feng.

After some consideration, Jiang Xu felt that Chen Feng was a person worthy of his trust, so he enlisted his brother in the army, on the one hand, he visited Chen Feng himself to test it out, and then became Chen Feng's aide.

The refuge of these people is a signal.The aristocratic families in Xiliang did not reject Chen Feng. On the contrary, as long as Chen Feng had enough strength and ability, he could also get their approval and loyalty.
