Chapter 293 Liaoyuan

A single spark can start a prairie fire.

Wildfires are everywhere in Wuwei.

The Xiongnu and Xianbei smelled something strange in this civil uprising, so they stayed away from the northern grasslands and watched the changes.

This is also their position all along.

Every time there is civil strife in Liangzhou, the imperial court's control is reduced by one point, and the strength of the Han people will also be weakened by one point.

Since the great chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, the seven counties of Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Xihe, Shangjun and Beidi have successively fallen to the hands of the Huns, Qiang and Hu Xianbei.

Most of Anding County is also in the hands of the Qiang and Hu.

And this trend is spreading to Hexi.

On the one hand, there was the great war at the end of the Han Dynasty. Dong Zhuo, Guo Si, Li Jue, Ma Chao and Han Sui successively destroyed Guanzhong. Later, Marquis Zhuge Wu continued his northern expedition. The population of Yongliang dropped sharply, and the power of the Han people gradually moved eastward.

On the other hand, although the Qiang and Hu were constantly suppressed, the Xiongnu and Xianbei were submissive on the outside but growing secretly.

When Wei Wu moved the Qiang and Di people to fill Guanzhong, the Qiang and Di population also increased a lot due to the nourishment of the fertile land.

The power of the Han people further declined.

When Wuwei was in the Han Dynasty, its territory was very vast, covering the vast grasslands and deserts west of the Helan Mountains.

However, now, it has shrunk back to the south of Zhuye Ze.

The grasslands to the north have fallen into dust.

Meng Guan and Pang Qing looked at the vast land to the north in trance.

"Report, there is news from Guzang City. Wei Guan personally led three thousand troops to go out of the city to quell the chaos!" Xizuo Feiqi came to report.

"Have you found out clearly?" Meng Guan and Pang Qing were shocked at the same time.

"The information was transmitted by Kui Mulang himself and has been confirmed by Jiuyeying!" Xiao Zuo was extremely capable.

"I know." Meng Guan tried his best to hide the ecstasy in his heart.

Wei Guan, an opponent that gives the general a headache.

Jiuyingying invested so much energy, manpower and material resources, but could never get close to the person who finally came out on his own.

"If we can kill this man, we will cut off an arm of Liangzhou, and we can also serve the general!" Meng Guan killed Jin Jie Dao.

Pang Qian is only seventeen years old, but he is born with stability. People who have experienced hardships in his early years and have been on the verge of starving to death and freezing to death are naturally older than ordinary people. "Wei Guan is a deep-minded person and is not that easy to deal with."

Yes, we should plan carefully."

Meng Guan couldn't help but look at him with admiration, "What do you think?"

Being from the same Qingying camp naturally brought the two of them closer together.

Pang Qing thought for a while, then cupped his hands to Meng Guan and said, "I have little talent and little knowledge, and I don't have a plan in mind."

Meng Guan smiled, knowing that he was being modest. He touched his chin and thought carefully. He had done something similar before in Zunlu, inciting various tribes of Zunlu to kill each other.

But now the difficulty is obviously much higher.

Wei Guan had a well-equipped elite army at his disposal, and Wei Guan himself was also resourceful.

Even though the rioters are in full swing, if they really fight, they will definitely be no match for them.

Meng Guan turned around and glanced at the five hundred fine knights behind him.

The enemy is in the light and we are in the dark, but there are still opportunities.

But it depends on how you catch it.

"Sound in the east and attack in the west!" Meng Guan said with a smile.

"To make the enemy exhausted, then provoke him and strike with a fatal blow!" Pang Qing actually had the same idea as Meng Guan.

Meng Guan laughed and said: "Haha, if Renyou has any suggestions in the future, it doesn't matter."

The wildfire of Wuwei seems endless and cannot be extinguished no matter what.

Today it is Luanniao, tomorrow it is Tuici, and the day after tomorrow there will be a rebel army rushing towards Guzang City.

Of course, these rabble can't break the city.

But it was sometimes possible to break down the manors and forts of powerful men and coerce farmers and domestic slaves.

Just as Wei Guan expected, the bandits became more and more powerful.

After the attack on the Manor Fort, it snowballed in strength, and its equipment was constantly being innovated.

Two days ago, I was carrying a hoe and a hoe, and my clothes were in rags.

In the past two days, they have carried spears, swords, and leather armor. Some people also put on iron armor and took out crossbows...

Two groups of thieves even brought out cavalry and sent out scouts!

Although the Wuwei Qianghu are fierce, the Han people are not easy to deal with. People who can survive in the northwest have a wolf nature in their bones. They can kill people with knives even more ferociously than the Qianghu.

After defeating four or five groups of thieves, Wei Guan felt increasingly bad.

The thieves are becoming more and more cunning. Not only are they difficult to defeat, they are also vaguely connected to each other.

When Wei Guan attacked one of the thieves, three groups appeared behind him, like tarsal maggots.

Just after defeating the bandits in the west, another group emerged in the east.

The refugees who were plundered at first were young and strong and scattered in various villages and fields, but now they have all become the source of troops for the bandits.

"We can't fight like this!" After defeating a group of bandits, Wei Guan suddenly came to his senses when he saw the exhausted and scarred soldiers, "Set up camp and rest where you are."

This rebellion will never end unless the thread connecting it is cut off.

"Go to Yuwei quickly and ask Governor Hu to return to the army!" Wei Guan handed his letter to the soldiers, "You go with a hundred cavalry and be sure to deliver it!"

"Wei!" The soldier took the order and left.

But Wei Guan still felt uneasy, so he sent three more waves of troops to deliver the message.

A large number of scouts were also sent out to spy in all directions.

The next day, only half of the scouts came back, still injured.

"Report to Sima, there are a large number of enemy cavalry sentries surrounding our army."

"Both in the southeast, northwest, and west?"

"Exactly."

Everyone in the tent was terrified and uneasy.

This is not good news, it means that the wolf is coming.

Wei Guan suddenly laughed, "That's it, let's explore again!"

There was a smile on his face, but there was a cold light in his eyes.

The scout was stunned for a moment, and when he saw his stern gaze, he could only grit his teeth, turn his horse's head, and leave the camp again.

"Sima, there are so many bandits. If they surround us, who will come to rescue us?" the subordinate asked worriedly.

The only people who could rescue this group of troops were Xu Zhi in Guzang City, the Xianbei Xiongnu, and the powerful men watching the fire from the other side.

If they were willing to rescue, the civil uprising in Wuwei would not have intensified into what it is now.

Even among the refugees, there were powerful, Xianbei, and Xiongnu disguised as taking advantage of the situation to rob them.

Wuwei is high in the sky and the emperor is far away, there is nothing they dare not do.

"Why do you need others to rescue you?" Wei Guan breathed a long sigh of relief, knowing that the enemy was coming for him, things would be much easier to handle.

All the soldiers were stunned for a moment, looking at the scribe with the sword, hesitantly.

Wei Guan said warmly: "The troops will rest for a day and will break camp and return to Guzang tomorrow."

Someone immediately questioned: "The bandits are right in front of us. If we wait for a break, the bandits will gather more and more. How can we get out of trouble and return to Guzang?"

"I have sent people to ask Governor Hu to bring troops back for reinforcements. Do you have any concerns?"

Only then did everyone feel at ease.

Wei Guan gave the last order, "Distribute the captured cattle and sheep to the soldiers, and tell them that as long as they return to Guzang, Governor Hu will give them a heavy reward!"

Although Wei Guan was not the governor of Liangzhou, Hu Fen obeyed his advice.

"Thank you Wei Sima!"

For a time, the whole camp was happy, with loud praises and laughter.
