"Reward! Under the reward, there must be a brave man. As long as you promise high officials and wealth, gold, silver and treasures, these Qiang people will definitely not even recognize their own mothers for the sake of benefits! No matter how powerful Ma Chao is, he is just one person. At that time, he will bother the three generals to entangle him. I will command the Qiang people to attack Tongguan. ○" Xu Shu finally decided on the strategy.

Cao Ren said: "This method is feasible. Ma Chao is brave but not wise. Just lead him to a distance and prevent the Qiang people from seeing it. Although Tongguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is relative to Guandong. If you attack from Guanxi, it is relatively easier. You only need 30,000 to capture Tongguan."

Xu Shu said: "To be safe, we should attack them all and attack Tongguan with 100,000 troops."

"promise!"

After the plan was decided, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren rushed into the Qiang people respectively, contacted the leaders of the Qiang people, and promised to have high officials and generous salaries, gold, silver and treasures, which immediately aroused the greed of the Qiang people.

After a while, the commanders of various tribes led by Shaodang Qiang, Ganlang Qiang and Baima Qiang gathered together under the call of the Qiang King of Baima Qiang. Everyone had a fierce discussion and argued for more than half an hour, and they jointly recommended Duova, the King of Baima Qiang, as the new King of Western Qiang.

Once Dova became the King of the Western Qiang, he immediately issued an order to the leaders: "We rebel against General Tian just to gain more benefits. Now Chang'an City is ruined, and countless people from our tribes have died or injured. But what have we obtained? The people named Cao Cao are just slaves of the country who have lost their country. They are favored by General Tian, ​​and they are proud to gain a foothold in Guanzhong. Although we have given us high officials and generous salaries, everyone should understand that it is impossible for the Han people to really do it for us.

The national treasury and arsenal of Ancheng were well guarded by Cao Cao's people, so we were not allowed to take it. But the most people died were the Qiang people, not the Han people. I think we have the right to claim to be the overlords of the northwest. Since they did not give it to us, we would take it ourselves. The people in Guanzhong are much richer than the people of Liangzhou. Now we are pretending to follow Xu Shu and others to Tongguan. We will plunder all the places along the way, capture the Han people as slaves, and bring them back to our base. We will make a good deal of this trip!"

All the tribal leaders all pointed their heads and said yes. So everyone secretly made a plan and decided to respond to Xu Shu's call and pretend to attack Tongguan with 100,000 troops.

After receiving the Qiang people's reply, Xu Shu was overjoyed and selected 30,000 brave men to be placed in front, allowing Cao Ren to command and accompany him to assist in the battle with a 70,000 army. He personally led it.

After a while of busy work, 100,000 Qiang cavalry set out in a mighty way. Xu Shu was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the three armies. He asked Cao Ren to be the governor of the front, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan were the vanguards on the left and right, and 30,000 vanguards were the vanguards of the front, and Xu Shu led the other Qiang leaders to follow him with 70,000 cavalry, and the 100,000 troops rushed east quickly.

Once the 100,000 troops arrived on the road, they robbed all the property along the way. After a little resistance, they raised their swords and killed them.

This was greatly beyond Xu Shu's expectations. Seeing this situation, Xu Shu immediately turned around and said to the Qiang leaders of the tribes behind him: "We are going to attack Tongguan. As long as Tongguan conquers, my lord will give as much money as you want. Now please restrain your subordinates and let them not do anything out of order. Otherwise, the people of Guanzhong will be persecuted and will turn to China."

Dova said: "We have so many people died, and you have not fulfilled your promise, so we have to take it on our own. Their brothers and fathers have all died in battle. Just take some money and comfort yourself. Why bother to make a fuss?"

"But... as long as you can conquer Tongguan and capture the emperor of China, you can own all the property of China. The people of Guanzhong are too barren and there is no wealth in Guandong. Let's go to Guandong to grab it?" Xu Shu said sincerely.

"Kanto is still far away from here. Let's take some money and nothing to do." Dova said arrogantly without taking Xu Shu in mind.

When Xu Shu saw the greedy eyes of Duova and other tribe leaders, he instantly realized that this was definitely a big mistake. But now they have the desire for these Qiang people and need to use the power of the Qiang people to conquer Tongguan. He could not restrain himself, and could only see these people being harmed by the Qiang people.

Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan were walking in front. The Qiang cavalry behind him did not obey the orders, and they had no choice but to see the Qiang people plundering property without authorization and robbing anything they saw, and they couldn't help but feel angry.

"Damn it! How dare these people do this? I'll kill..." Xiahou Dun said angrily first.

Cao Ren hurriedly interrupted Xiahou Dun and said, "There are 100,000 people here. If you kill one, it is equivalent to being an enemy of these 100,000 people."

"Then you can't watch them loot? From now on, will Guanzhong be in chaos?" Xiahou Dun said.

"Help...Help..."

A woman's sharp scream immediately came over, attracting the eyes of Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan. They saw several Qiang people pulling a woman to a haystack, tearing the woman's clothes naked, and several Qiang people began to violently attack the woman...

After seeing it, the three of them felt heartbroken. Xiahou Dun couldn't help it, shouted "ah", rode his horse and ran wildly, raised his sword and killed all the Qiang people.

After seeing that the soldiers of their tribe were killed, the rest of the Qiang people all came to besiege Xiahou Dun. Dozens of cavalry rushed over and surrounded Xiahou Dun.

Seeing this, Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan were panicked. Seeing that more and more Qiang people were besieging Xiahou Dun, they hurriedly took the hundred cavalry behind them to save Xiahou Dun. After a melee, they attracted more attention from Qiang people. Hundreds of Qiang cavalry surrounded Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and more than 100 people.

Xu Shu was walking in the central army and was with Duowa, the King of the Western Qiang and others. Suddenly, he saw a Qiang cavalry running from the front. He didn't know why he had a vague premonition.

"King! King! No, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and others are massacring our tribe members!" The Qiang cavalry ran to Duova and shouted loudly.

After hearing this, Dova was shocked and immediately pulled out his saber. He turned his head and prepared to raise the knife to slash at Xu Shu. However, Xu Shu had disappeared. He glanced at him, but saw Xu Shu running back, retreating all the way westward, and shuttled between the Qiang cavalry. He quickly disappeared.

"Your mother! Kill Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan! When you pass the order, burn all the places you pass, grab all of them, arrest all the Han people, and continue moving forward. You are not allowed to retreat until you are in front of Tongguan!" Dova ordered loudly.

"promise!"

Dova hurriedly said to a coach behind him: "You should go back to Chang'an quickly and let the remaining more than 100,000 cavalry take action. We will loot Guanzhong. The great cause that Beigong Boyu and Han Sui and others were unable to complete in the past will be completed in my hands, bring all the Han people back to Qiang, kill all those who do not follow, and not leave any one!"

The coach Qu said "Nuo", turned his horse's head and rushed towards Chang'an alone.

Dova took many tribal leaders to the front line, and the command center besieged Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan.

At this time, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan were surrounded by hundreds of cavalry. Although there were many Qiang people killed, they only felt that they were killing more and more. There were endless. Seeing that this was definitely not possible, the three people decided to break out immediately, cheered up their spirits, concentrated all their strength, and rushed out to the southwest. The Qiang people could not resist it. They were led by three people and dozens of cavalry out of the siege.

When Duova arrived, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan were gone, and he did not order to chase him. He only allowed the soldiers to continue to advance eastward, burning, killing and looting along the way. The people of Guanzhong suffered a lot.

The Qiang people snatched whatever they saw, no matter what they saw, put their property on horseback, and the population robbed them with ropes. They were paired up in groups and killed them if they were disobedient. For a time, the people complained and mourned everywhere, and countless dead people were killed. Many people who had just escaped from Chang'an City left behind in various counties. At this time, they suffered such a disaster, which was a catastrophe.

However, Xu Shu escaped. Seeing that no one was chasing him, he realized that he had made a mistake and forgot the greedy nature of the Qiang people. He couldn't help but scold the Qiang people in his heart. But no matter how much he scolded, all he could do was return to Chang'an as soon as possible, because there were more than 100,000 Qiang people in Chang'an City. Once he got the news, the entire Guanzhong would become a scorched earth, and the great cause of restoring the country would no longer exist.

While he was running, he suddenly heard a horse chasing him behind him. He turned around and saw that it was a Qiang man. He thought he was going back to inform him. He immediately turned his head, pulled out the sword from his waist, rushed towards the coach Qu. The two horses intersected and chopped off the coach Qu's head with one sword.

Xu Shu inserted his sword into the sheath, turned his horse's head again, and began to run backwards.

When he arrived at Baling City, he suddenly saw a large army running in front of him. The leader was heroic and dressed in armor, which looked a bit elegant. However, he saw the word "Suo" written on the banner, which was close to each other, and then he saw that it was Suo Xu.

Xu Shu was shocked and hurriedly found a place to cover up, but saw that there was another person next to Suo Xu, Cao Zhen. When he saw this, he immediately understood that Suo Xu must have surrendered. He waved his hand and shouted: "Zi Dan! Zi Dan!"

Cao Zhen saw Xu Shu from a distance, and immediately rode his horse quickly, came to Xu Shu, strangled the horse, and shouted: "Military advisor, I just came to report the situation ahead. The lord sent me to ask you, why did the Qiang people in front burn, kill, loot? Who was instructed?"

"Oh! Don't mention it, it was me who made a mistake. I forgot the greedy nature of the Qiang people. They spontaneously killed and robbed them, and our soldiers could not control it."

While they were talking, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahou Dun came from behind with dozens of cavalry covered in blood, and Suo Xu also stopped the army and rode his horse over.

Several people met immediately. Suo Xu glanced at everyone and asked immediately: "Who is the leader of the Qiang people?"

"Dova, the King of the White Horse Qiang Qiang!" Xu Shu said.

"It turns out it was him! Dova was cruel and unkind and easy to kill by nature. I brought an army of 20,000, which was just in handy. The people of Guanzhong could no longer withstand such disasters. They must kill all of these Qiang people as soon as possible." Saushu said loudly.

After hearing this, Xu Shu, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Zhen all thought that this was the reason, but there were 100,000 Qiang cavalry ahead. How could they kill them if they were killed?

Seeing everyone's concern, Suo Xu immediately said, "Zhang Xiu and I have surrendered to the Marquis of Wei. Zhang Xiu has divided his troops to garrison in Wudu and Hanzhong. At this time, the chaos in Guanzhong is in chaos, and outsiders do not know that if it delays for a long time, it will attract the covetousness of neighboring countries. I have ordered Zhang Xiu to recruit the Qiang people in Chang'an City, send them money and dismiss them, and let him rush to Liangzhou to surrender the officials of various counties in Liangzhou. Now the only one hundred thousand Qiang cavalry left is the only one hundred thousand Qiang cavalry, and they must be paid for their blood debts."

Although Xu Shu didn't know much about Suo Xu, judging from Chen Qun's praise, this person did have a set of things, a general who led troops. Seeing that Suo Xu had arranged in an orderly manner, he ordered more than 100,000 Qiang people near Chang'an City to retreat to the Qiang, and personally led troops to kill the Qiang people who were in chaos, which proved that he was a figure with both civil and military affairs.

Xu Shu glanced at Cao Zhen, saw Cao Zhen nodding, and said, "The Qiang people are 100,000. You only have 20,000, how can you kill them all in a short time?"

Saushu said: "Just lend you a few people to use it. I have a plan to defeat the enemy. I just don't know if you are willing to temporarily feel wronged and become my captive."

After hearing this, Xu Shu's eyes lit up immediately and he asked, "You want to..."

He said halfway, and then he stopped abruptly. A satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Cao Zhen was the first to stand up and said, "Lord has an order. Let us all obey General Suo and not make any mistakes. I, Cao Zidan, are willing to help General Suo with one arm!"

After hearing Cao Zhen's words, Xu Shu, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren did not hesitate and immediately said, "Please ask the general to give orders!"

Suo Xu immediately expressed his plan and was recognized by everyone. So Xu Shu, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Zhen and others were willing to be prisoners of Suo Xu. Suo Xu was not polite, so he asked the soldiers to tie up these people, and then sent someone to notify Dova and beg for a meeting.

The scouts were the first to ride out, while Soushu and others dressed in Qin's soldiers. The flags they were also Qin's big flag. Twenty thousand horses were moving eastward, with gongs and drums all the way, fearing that others would not know, so they headed towards the foot of Mount Li.

At this time, the Qiang people were in Xinfeng County for chaos, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil, and the people suffered indecent suffering.

Qiang King Dowa and his tribal leaders stood on a high slope, looking at the devastated Xinfeng County below. They were very happy to see everyone returning home with their horses covered with wealth.

Dova turned his horse's head with a smile, looked at the more than a hundred tribes behind him, and pointed behind him and asked, "In the past, my Western Qiang warriors rebelled against the Han Dynasty many times, have they ever been so glorious? Not to mention the distance, just say that the nearest ones, Beigong Boyu once lured us Qiang people to follow them to commit rebellion, but they were still pacified. Only me, only me, the great Western Qiang king, the son of the Sun God, can lead everyone here to burn, kill and loot. The Han people bullied us for so long and drove us to the side. In the future, our Western Qiang should rise. As long as you keep following me, I promise that if you win the Central Plains in the future, I will become the emperor, and I will all give you kings!"

"Long live! Long live! Long live!" The Qiang people cheered loudly.

At this time, a cavalry came over with a Qin army scout. After seeing Dova, the cavalry whispered a few words. After hearing this, Dova's eyes lit up and hurriedly asked the Qin army scout: "Is your general really going to surrender to me?"

The scout nodded and said, "Yes, the king. My general came from Hanzhong and fought back all the way, defeating Cao Cao and others first. However, Cao Cao and others ran too fast and could not be captured. Both our generals and Qiang people used to be officials in the same dynasty and were ministers of the same palace. Moreover, when His Royal Highness was there in the past, we were so harmonious. The reason for such a conflict was that Cao Cao and others were provoked in the middle. Now our generals learned that His Majesty the Emperor was killed and the whereabouts of the prince were unknown. However, the Qin State was still there, so we were willing to take the king as the main force and ask the king to claim the emperor to take over the great cause of Qin State. On the way, my generals captured Xu Shu, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and others, and were preparing to use their heads to sacrifice to the sky. In addition to my generals, the same also meant by General Zhang Xiu."

Dova was extremely happy. The leader of the four generals under Ma Chao's tent, Suo Xu, who was both literary and military, actually wanted to surrender to him and make him emperor. What an honor is this? Moreover, Zhang Xiu, one of the four generals, also wanted to support himself. In this way, he could become the emperor in Guanzhong, become the emperor of the Han people completely, and trample the Han people under his feet. So does he still need to rob these property?

"Great, where is your general now?" Dova asked in a deep heart.

"At present, he is stationed at the foot of Mount Li, not far from here, and has set up a camp, and has come from Chang'anla to serve as a banquet for the king. He is also preparing to hold a oath-taking ceremony with the king, and specially sent me to invite the king, the coach Qu and all his tribe members to go for a carnival."

Dova was stunned by victory. He knew that Suo Xu had few soldiers, and he had 100,000 soldiers around him, and there were more than 100,000 soldiers in Chang'an, and so many people. I thank Suo Xu for not daring to play any tricks, so he immediately ordered: "Send the order and move the whole army to Mount Li. Everyone will go to the foot of Mount Li tonight to have a party. I will be the emperor tomorrow. You are all my founding heroes, hahahaha..."

So, the Qiang people conveyed the orders of King Duova of Qiang, and 100,000 Qiang people began to gather together. They all returned with a full load, following Duova towards Mount Li, and behind them were captive Han people, heading towards Mount Li in groups.

At the foot of Mount Li, Suo Xu had already built a camp that was enough to accommodate more than 100,000 people. He stood soldiers and generals on four corners, and took hundreds of people to prepare fine wine, waiting at the door of the military camp. He quietly waited for the arrival of King Duova of Qiang.

In the evening, Dova brought 100,000 people and tens of thousands of prisoners to the Lishan camp. Seeing Suo Xu personally greeting him, there were lights and gongs and drums around him, and for a moment, he was filled with joy by Suo Xu's reception.

As soon as Dova arrived at the gate of the military camp, Soushu held a bowl of fine wine in his hand and led his subordinates to kneel on the ground. He shouted loudly: "Welcome the great king."

Dova was very happy by this atmosphere, as if he had really become an emperor. He learned from Ma Teng's majesty in the past and said, "Stand up!"

After Sauxu stood up, he walked straight to Dova. Holding the bowl of wine, he said to Dova, "Master, please drink this glass."

Without thinking, Dova drank it immediately, then threw the bowl to the ground, and shouted happily: "General Suo, we have met again, but this time it's hard for General Suo. From now on, I will kneel down to me every day."

Sao Xu smiled and said, "This is what the last general should do. King, please enter the camp. It's too late tonight. Let's spend the night here for the time being. I have asked someone to prepare enough wine, enough for more than 100,000 people to drink. Everyone drinks happily. After we sober tomorrow, we will go to Chang'an, and then follow the throne ceremony to make the king ascend the throne and become emperor to stabilize the overall situation."

Dova said: "Very good, your arrangements are very good."

So, 100,000 Qiang people entered the camp one after another, and all the prisoners were taken into custody in one place. Suo Xu had already prepared to let the soldiers start distributing wine and let them drink happily.

In the central army's tent, Dova sat in the top position. After taking a sip of wine, he heard Sao Xu say, "King, I have captured Xu Shu, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and others. I heard that they have killed many Qiang people, so it is better to take them up. Everything depends on the command of the king!"

Dova said: "Okay, bring them up!"

After a while, Xu Shu, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan were all tied up. When the four of them saw Suo Xu, they cursed. Suo Xu scolded them, and the Qiang people present laughed.

"Okay, don't argue. Anyway, you haven't been alive for a long time. I will ascend the throne tomorrow and make you live one more night. Let you see me as the emperor tomorrow. Then I will use your head to sacrifice to the sky." Dova said.

After hearing this, Suo Xu asked someone to take Xu Shu, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan down, and then began to pick up the wine to toast Duova.

After Dova drank another big cup, Saushu said: "The king drinks slowly again. I will lead the troops outside to patrol. I am worried that the Chinese army will take advantage of the situation and I have to protect the king."

Dova nodded and approved.

After Soushu left the tent, Dova was worried and sent someone to follow Soushu. As a result, the person sent out came back and reported that Soushu was indeed patrolling the military camp over and over again, and there was nothing suspicious about them. Dova was relieved to make people drink happily and believed in Soushu.
To be continued...
