At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

If I don't invite the robbers in, can I live?

Ma Shoucheng, what is the difference between you and a robber?Is there any other way I can go?

If you want to be rich, don't I want to live?

Is there any better option for me?

Han Sui felt desolate, thinking that he had spent half his life as a soldier, but he still couldn't get what he wanted. He had to compromise again and again, and lost a lot of things, so he couldn't help but feel sad.

But at least, at least the position of governor of Liangzhou was obtained.

Cao Ren admitted it himself, saying that Guo Peng would definitely allow it.

Even if he becomes Guo Peng's subject, even if he is no longer de facto independent, as long as he can be the governor of Liangzhou, isn't it a kind of luck?

At least he is a legitimate governor of Yizhou, appointed by Emperor Han!

This is enough.

Han Sui comforted himself in this way, and then headed south all the way to Xiangwu County with Ma Teng's head.

When he entered Xiangwu County, he had to cross a valley path to see Xiangwu County. Han Sui took his own soldiers across the valley path and rushed to his dream of being the governor of Liangzhou.

But for some reason, Han Sui always felt a little uncomfortable.

Killed Ma Teng, destroyed his greatest enemy, and saved his life and future.

It should have been a beautiful situation, but why didn't I feel the slightest joy, instead my heart was full of worries?

Riding on the horse, Han Sui thought about it, but couldn't figure out why he was unhappy.

Is it because of what?

Han Sui couldn't figure it out, but it didn't matter, the crossbow arrows flying from somewhere helped him figure it out.

More than a dozen soldiers, including Han Sui himself, were shot into a sieve by the dense crossbow arrows flying from nowhere, fell to the ground and twitched all over, their strength and consciousness quickly passed away.

At the last moment of his life, Han Sui finally figured out why he was so worried.

The vigilance of wandering on the edge of betrayal for a long time...

A wonderful sixth sense...

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Han Sui never expected that Cao Ren would be so despicable, and would be so impatient to kill him.

Han Sui, together with his horse, was shot into a sieve by dozens of arrows, and died in this unknown place without making any sound.

Cao Ren soon learned the news that Han Sui had been killed and that Han Sui was holding Ma Teng's head.

He personally went to look at Han Sui's body and Ma Teng's head, and after seeing it, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Miaocai, Yunchang, this time, we have made great achievements."

Cao Ren said this to Xia Houyuan and Guan Yu.

Both Xia Houyuan and Guan Yu laughed, thinking that they could completely calm Liangzhou by making great contributions this time.

Ma Teng died, Han Sui died, Ma Chao died, Pang De died, Yan Xing died, and Cheng Gongying died.

They are all finished, and the leading figures in Liangzhou are all finished. No one survived, and the Wei Jun killed them all very poorly.

Guo Peng didn't believe these people, he didn't believe it at all, and he wanted to kill them all from the beginning, and he didn't have the idea of ​​compromising with them and sharing the benefits together.

The families of these people are also influential in Liangzhou, so they will all be labeled as rebels and wiped out together, and no one will survive.

More than 1 and nearly [-] captives have been escorted to Hanzhong by Cao Ren, and handed over to Zhang Yun to arrange the maintenance of the Qinling Shu Road. In the future, everyone will contribute their lives in the Qinling mountains.

There is nothing left.

After the war, the local people suffered heavy losses. Liangzhou did not have a large population, and it was terribly suffered by repeated wars. This is a big problem.

But that's another story, and there are other problems at the moment.

Most of the Han Chinese tyrants who rebelled in Liangzhou and a small number of servants Qianghu have indeed been wiped out. However, Liangzhou seems to have been pacified, but in fact it is not.

Xia Houyuan and Guan Yu didn't know much about Liangzhou, but Cao Ren had an in-depth understanding of the situation in Liangzhou and the history of Liangzhou under the instruction of Guo Peng.

He knew very well that it would be difficult to pacify the entire Liangzhou with his own 3 people.

Counting the [-] reinforcements brought by Cao Xiu, it is probably a bit reluctant.

In the future, Guo Peng might need to send reinforcements to continue supporting the war.

Because the most troublesome thing in Liangzhou is not Ma Teng and Han Sui's powerful Han people. The farther west, the fewer Han people, and the more Western Qiang and Hu people. They are the biggest problem in Liangzhou.

Since Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty crusaded against the Qiang people, the war between the Western Qiang government and the Han government has never subsided, and it is difficult to completely quell the Qiang rebellion no matter it is the method of restraining mi or military conquest.

Zhao Chongguo, a famous general in the Western Han Dynasty, once made great contributions to the pacification of the Qiang chaos, but that was only staged.

Han government officials and generals lacked understanding and underestimated the Xiqiang and other Zahu tribes, which made the Han government repeatedly lose ground on the issue of Qiang chaos.

Thinking about being restrained, corrupt officials often oppressed people, ethnic policies were always unstable, the public said the public was justified, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was justified. In the end, the Qiang people lost all trust in the Central Committee of the Han Dynasty.

Thinking of killing them all, some people said that this is not humane, why killing too many people is unknown to the country, what kind of killing is detrimental to the country's dignity, and so on.

The ambiguous policy finally wore away everyone's patience, and directly triggered the Han-Qiang War that lasted for a hundred years in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty, a war that dragged down the Eastern Han government.

The Eastern Han government invested as much as 300 billion yuan in military expenditures for the Han-Qiang war, but it only suppressed the outbreak of the Qiang rebellion in stages.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Han Central Committee declined and collapsed, and Liangzhou fell into a situation of warlord autonomy. The Han tyrants and the Qiang tribes colluded together to separate the area and refused to listen to orders. .

It's okay to rely on the east, but the more you go to the west, the more chaotic.

In the past ten years, when the central government has not governed the entire Liangzhou, Liangzhou has basically become a hodgepodge of ethnic groups. The original grassroots rule is completely chaotic and invalid, and local autonomy has become a reality.

Taking this into consideration, Guo Peng proposed a plan to seize the five eastern counties first, and then advance westward after the five eastern counties established and perfected their rule.

This is not something that can be accomplished overnight, not to mention whether the army can support it, but also food and grass. The food and grass hoarded by Guo Peng in Guanzhong are not enough to support Cao Ren to fight all the way to Dunhuang.

And it's not completely without enemies along the way.

The main powerful Han Chinese armed forces represented by Ma Teng and Han Sui were wiped out, while the Qiang tribe's armed forces and miscellaneous Hus are still there. It is not easy to continue to attack.

Guo Peng doesn't plan to play Huairou, what he wants is the whole Liangzhou, the complete Hexi Corridor.

In the future, he will also restore China's rule over the Western Regions during the Han Dynasty and re-open the Silk Road, so the five counties in the east of Liangzhou are the logistics base for this plan.

Farming must be carried out, and the Longyou Mazheng must be put on the agenda, and the newly acquired land must be built into a forward base with sufficient food and grass.

And for those Qiang people and Hu people from other tribes, Guo Peng didn't hold back when he wiped out Ma Teng, Han Sui and other Han tycoons, and also killed a lot of Qiang Hu people, so naturally he would not be trusted.

Ma Teng, Han Sui and many other powerful Han people have the same attitude towards the Qiang people, that is, to win over them. As rebel forces who also oppose the Han Central Committee, they are in the same situation as the Qiang people, so they can naturally unite.

Guo Peng is different. Guo Peng represents the central government.

The road to the west will inevitably encounter strong resistance from these Qianghu tribes.

If we want to completely occupy Liangzhou, there are still many things to do, and some tough battles to fight.

Something that was not completed in the Han Dynasty, someone from Guo will take over and complete it thoroughly.

Chapter 673 Er Guo Peng really has nothing to worry about now

At the end of July, Cao Xiu led [-] reinforcements into Liangzhou, and passed Longdi without much effort.

Cao Xiu did not come by himself, besides Cao Xiu, Chen Gong also came.

Chen Gong came with Guo Peng's complete order.

This Liangzhou military operation will be whitewashed by Guo Peng as a counter-insurgency operation caused by the rebellion of Ma Teng and Han Sui, and the military achievements made by Cao Ren and others will be fully recognized.

However, the war in Liangzhou has not yet come to an end. The first stage is now completed, and the second stage is underway.

"In Liangzhou, except for a few counties near Guanzhong where Han people are the majority, the further west you go, the fewer Han people, and the more Qiang people and miscellaneous Hus. At present, our army has only put down Ma Teng, Han Sui and others, but even they The Qiang people, who are all troubled by it, have not yet completely calmed down."

Chen Gong took out Guo Peng's order and handed it to Cao Ren.

Cao Ren untied it and saw that it was Guo Peng who had conveyed the appointment of Cao Ren as the governor of Liangzhou.

And the merger of the three auxiliary lands into Yongzhou, and the appointment of Chen Gong as the governor of Yongzhou to provide logistics for Cao Ren.

The status of Guanzhong Daying remains unchanged, and Guanzhong Daying is still used as the military hub of Guanzhong Liangzhou area. After the five counties of Liangzhou are pacified, Guanzhong Daying will be moved to Ji County and become Liangzhou Daying.

The battalion in the camp is still under the control of Cao Ren, and the establishment of the Guanzhong camp will be revoked after Yizhou is pacified.

The establishment of Yongzhou is also a plan planned by Guo Peng. After the five counties in the east of Liangzhou are pacified, the land of Sanfu will change from the front line of the war to a logistics base. The military establishment will not be so necessary, so the administrative division will be changed.

Merge the three auxiliary lands into Yongzhou, change the original military system, and make it directly under the governor of Yongzhou, and become a formal administrative area instead of a military area.

Guan Yu was appointed prefect of Anding County, Xia Houyuan was appointed prefect of Longxi County, Cao Ren was stationed in Hanyang County, and turned the captured Liangzhou area into a military area.

At the same time, Cao Ren was required to first capture the five counties in the east of Liangzhou and establish them as a forward base, and then move further west.

"There is enough grain in Guanzhong now, but there is still a shortage of armaments. Wei Gong has ordered Yanzhou and Jizhou to transport armaments for Guanzhong. Therefore, the first phase of the plan is to capture the five counties of Beidi, Anding, Hanyang, Longxi, and Wudu. In our hands, after the five counties are settled, we will move westward, advance into Jincheng County and Wuwei County, and then further advance into Hexi."

Chen Gong briefly conveyed Guo Peng's order to the generals.

This order was conveyed in advance, and the official appointment had to wait for Cao Ren and the others to send the report on the war to Yecheng, and then Guo Peng conveyed it to Luoyang for a cutscene, before officially announcing it.

But right now, they need to know in advance what they will do after Ma Teng and Han Sui are dealt with.

Cao Ren, Guan Yu and Xia Houyuan took orders immediately.

In mid-August of the first year of Jian'an, the news that the Battle of Liangzhou had ended successfully was sent to Yecheng.

The news of the war in Liangzhou had already come back, Guo Peng was furious and ordered Cao Ren to attack Liangzhou.

Now that Cao Ren sent the victory report back to Yecheng, people knew that Ma Teng, the governor of Liangzhou, and Biejia Han Sui conspired to rebel, and Cao Ren defeated and killed Ma Teng and Han Sui. were killed together.

The situation in Liangzhou has calmed down.

Guo Peng was overjoyed.

A meeting was held immediately afterwards, at which the decision to establish Yongzhou and redesign Liangzhou was announced.

"The five eastern counties of Liangzhou are already within the range of our army's attack, and no one can stop them. For this reason, Gu decided to garrison the five eastern counties and set up horse administration in Longyou. Some arrangements were all transferred to Liangzhou.

Gu Huan decided to merge the three auxiliary lands and establish a new Yongzhou, with Chen Gongtai as the governor of Yongzhou. Jingzhaoyin was Jingzhao County, and Wudu County, which originally belonged to Liangzhou, and Hanzhong County and Shangyong County, which belonged to Yizhou, were also assigned to Yongzhou. "

Guo Peng drew circles on the map and planned the scope of the newly established Yongzhou. Since then, the Han Empire has had one more state, Yongzhou.

The addition of Wudu County, Hanzhong, and Shangyong County is also to restrain Yizhou, and to make Yizhou's trapped dragon situation solid.

No matter who is an official in Yizhou in the future, Guo Peng doesn't have to worry about Yizhou's separatism. Without the two northward routes of Hanzhong and Wudu, Yizhou will always be a trapped dragon.

Chen Gong has been with Guo Peng for a long time, and he has rich experience in politics and marching. Yongzhou is newly established and will need to become a logistics base for the war in the future. Therefore, Chen Gong is the governor of Yongzhou and builds Yongzhou into an important granary for Guo Peng. to support future wars.

In addition, Guo Peng also played Cao Ren as the governor of Liangzhou, Guan Yu as the prefect of Anding County, and Xia Houyuan as the prefect of Longxi County.

At the same time, General Yan Liang served as the prefect of Beidi County, and General Gao Lan served as the prefect of Hanyang County. They set off for Liangzhou recently to prepare the team that will occupy Liangzhou and return to the Western Regions in the future.

What he did was to announce to the world that the traitors in Liangzhou were shameless and greedy. After receiving the court's compensation, they were not only ungrateful to the court, but actually wanted to rebel, so he was forced to send troops to fight against the rebels in Liangzhou.

Now that the rebel army in Liangzhou has been completely annihilated, Liangzhou has returned to the leadership of the central government. The young people in Liangzhou, please be careful.

The news of Liangzhou's successful suppression of the rebellion came out, and many people were amazed and inspired by it.

Guo Peng really has nothing to worry about now.

Except for a Gongsun Du who was far away in the world, Guo Peng looked around, and there were no enemies in the northern land.

The separatist warlord forces of the Han people were basically flattened by Guo Peng. There was not one left, and the rest were leftovers, tasteless, such as Gongsundu.

The Xianbei people were beaten badly, the Karasuma people surrendered, and the Huns were wiped out. Now there is still one Qiang entrenched in Liangzhou, but no one thinks that Guo Peng can't deal with those Qiang Hu.

Obviously, Guo Peng's general trend has been achieved, and the north has been stabilized. Next, Guo Peng's focus is on the south.

While in Yecheng, while the Battle of Liangzhou was still going on, Guo Peng had sent an order to Zhang Liao who was far away in Hefei to get Zhang Liao to prepare.

The land of Jiangdong is almost in chaos, and when it is time to fight, it must be fought down.

In this battle, the land of Jiangdong is bound to be won, the five counties of Jiangdong have been won, and the remaining Jingzhou and Yizhou are just a piece of cake.

Let's get ready, it's only been a year or two.

Mr. Guo has already sharpened his sword. As long as Cao Ren settles down all the counties in the eastern part of Liangzhou and starts to get on the right track, the life span of the Jiangdong Sun Wu regime can enter a countdown state.

After Cao Ren received the order from Chen Gong, he immediately knew what he should do.

Now that the troops are abundant, he first ordered Guan Yu to lead [-] troops to pacify Anding and Beidi counties, Xia Houyuan to lead [-] troops to pacify Hanyang and Wudu counties, and then he himself led Cao Xiu and Chen Gong to lead [-] troops to the Longxi County attacked the local area.
