Four hundred and fortieth chapters pacify Xiliang

After Han Sui occupied Jincheng, he immediately sent someone to pack the heads of the traitor leaders such as Bian Zhang and Beigong Boyu in a box and sent them directly to Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi had not taken it seriously. After receiving the news of surrender from Ma Teng and others the day before yesterday, he just said it casually because he didn't think that these rebels and rebels had the possibility of surrendering.

But when Beigong Boyu, Bian Zhang and other rebel leaders appeared in their tent, Lu Zhi was stunned and became serious.

He first ordered people to observe these heads and confirmed that they were really Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu and others, and then he faced the conditions discussed by Ma Teng and others again.

"Father, all these rebels have been taken over by Han Sui's men. Now, only Han Sui and his family are left in Jincheng County."

Lu Zhi's son Lu Jie took the initiative to approach Lu Zhi and told Lu Zhi about the current situation in Jincheng.

Lu Zhi had a gloomy face at this time. Even if his son didn't say it, he knew the current situation. Originally, the rebels in Xiliang were three families, with the 70,000 Qiang people, mainly Beigong Boyu, the strongest, followed by the original Xiliang army led by Bian Zhang, with about 50,000 people.

Han Sui, the weakest, had 30,000 people, and these 30,000 people were pieced together by several prefects under him. His own army only had only 20,000 people.

But now, in just one night, the situation in Xiliang has turned upside down. Han Sui, the worst-selling, suddenly became the strongest man, unified the three leaders, and became the uncrowned king of Xiliang.

Of course, this uncrowned king still has to face Lu Zhi's 100,000 imperial army, but Lu Zhi was considering whether to really recruit these rebels.

"Jie'er, what do you think about the revenge of Han Sui and other rebels?"

"Father, I don't believe in Han Sui. This person is very scheming. I originally thought that Bian Zhang was our biggest problem on this trip. Who knew that Han Sui would appear."

"Oh? What is my son's opinion?"

Lu Zhi was just asking his son casually, wanting to know what his son thinks and deepen his understanding of his son, but after hearing Lu Jie's words, he became interested.

"Han Sui sent us a message of surrender the day before yesterday, but he had already killed Han Sui, Beigong Boyu and others with tricks yesterday. It can be seen that his cunning is deeper than the other two. Secondly, judging from the news from outside, Han Sui's killing Beigong Boyu and Bian Zhang was not the most surprised me. What surprised me the most was that he was able to accept Beigong Boyu and Bian Zhang's troops."

"In theory, Han Sui's killing of Beigong Boyu and Bian Zhang will definitely anger the soldiers and horses of Beigong Boyu and Bian Zhang, causing the three forces to fight. However, not only did the three troops not fight, but Han Sui also accepted them. It can be seen that Han Sui had already planned and had enough courage and strength."

Lu Zhi nodded secretly after Lu Jie's insight.

"My son said it right, Han Sui was indeed beyond my expectations."

"If the court was not like this, I would definitely not stay such a person. Staying there would definitely be a big disaster and would sooner or later threaten the rule of the court!"

Lu Zhi said with a gloomy face and said unhappy.

But then he changed his tone again soon.

"It's a pity that the court now has rebels everywhere in rebellion, and they can no longer withstand the consumption of a great war. For the time being, they can only stabilize the situation in Xiliang. After the rebels in other places are resolved and the Han Dynasty is consolidated, they will deal with Han Sui and others!"

Lu Jie, who was standing beside him, immediately understood after hearing his father's words.

"What my father meant was to agree to Han Sui's surrender?"

"Otherwise, are we really going to go to war with Han Sui and the others? The price of going to war is very high."

"You also know that if these rebels are divided into three parties, we can also use the disagreement strategy to make their morale unstable and unable to fight together, and thus defeat them one by one. But now Han Sui has dealt with the other two and has incorporated all the soldiers, which greatly increases the pressure on us. If we want to defeat these rebels in one fell swoop, the difficulty will increase a lot."

"Even if we spend a lot of money in the end, we will also suffer heavy losses from our own troops. This is not what I would like to see!"

Lu Zhi expressed his thoughts to his son. After Lu nodded, he stopped talking and could only acknowledge his father's view.

After all, his father was the commander of the rebellion this time, and everything must be done as his father said.

After Lu Zhi made the decision, he immediately sent someone to negotiate with Han Sui.

On the one hand, they first stabilized Han Sui's mood and let Han Sui and others surrender to the court. This matter was implemented. At the same time, they sent people back to Luoyang to report to the emperor, so that the emperor would agree to the group of people to re-enter the arms of the Han Dynasty. They not only had to pardon their mistakes they had made before, but also had to reward them. After all, it was because of Han Sui and others' initiative that the rebellion of the Qiang people was successfully concluded so smoothly.

This time it took only one month to go back and forth, and the imperial court finally came with it.

Because Han Sui made too much contribution in this matter, he was directly conferred the title of the governor of Xiliang by the court. Ma Teng, Li Xiangru and other Han Sui's followers also rose with the flow, either becoming the prefect or not taking the position of Sima.

Of course, the court was not completely unscrupulous. In order to prevent Han from becoming bigger in Xiliang, they also asked Dong Zhuo, a native of Xiliang, to station troops in Xiliang, and appointed Dong Zhuo as the General of the Qiang Protecting the Central Army.

While restraining the Qiang people, they also guard against Han Sui.

The matter in Xiliang was finally alleviated, and the soldiers sent by the imperial court to Xiliang could finally gradually withdraw from the territory of Xiliang at this time.

Although Lu Zhi also left behind Dong Zhuo's tens of thousands of troops stationed in Xiliang to guard against Han Sui and others at any time, Lu Zhi's main force returned to the capital and could free up his hands to deal with rebels from other places.

The first thing to be affected was the very powerful Wuwan people rebellion spreading in the three counties of Jizhou, Youzhou and even Qingzhou.

It was also the second most fierce court that Yuan Shao and others made trouble.

After solving the Xiliang incident, the court's top priority was to deal with Yuan Shao, dismantle the court established by Yuan Shao, and then re-stabilize the orthodox status of the Han Dynasty.

Of course, these things are not something that can be done in a short while.
