Chapter 254 Conquer and Migrate?No, weaken exploits! (4.2K for subscription)
Until the evening, Changshui's pursuit still didn't stop, the two sides were already exhausted, and generally speaking, Changshui's side was better.

After all, the Qiang people fought all night. Although Changshui didn't have much rest time last night, it was much better than the Qiang people.

Moreover, between the two parties, one chases and the other runs, one kills and the other is killed, the mental pressure is different

For a whole day, the two parties ran for more than 200 miles. Along the way, the Qiang people were bitten by the Changshui because they fell behind, and they captured more than 1000 heads.

After running such a long distance, the [-] Xianling Qiang cavalry who stayed behind came into contact with the Qiang headquarters in the afternoon.

For the first time, the two of them, Ling Qiang, were a little confused, because although they knew the news a little earlier, they didn't know the details.

As for the Qiang people's headquarters, they were very vigilant about the remaining nearly [-] Xianling troops, and the remnants of the Qiang people in the headquarters also gathered with those left behind.

The number of soldiers and horses of Xianling Qiang once again broke the [-] mark. As for how many, Huo Shan is not sure, ten thousand, two or three?
The current state of the Qiang people is divided into two parts, the Qiang part first, the big tribe and the small tribe, but the big tribe and the small tribe are a bit close.

At this time, they were all running to the west, but there was a clear distinction between the two parts.

At this time, they are still in this state, and they really don't know how their brains grow.

.........

midnight.

"My lord, are you still chasing me?
It was almost time to reach the defense line of Huangzhong and the Huqi Department, and the soldiers were already very tired, and the horses could not run anymore. "

Hearing Sun Shang's words, Huo Shan said firmly:

"Chasing, we can't stop. Our soldiers are tired, and the Qiang people are even more tired than us, and it's dark. We are led by the soldiers of the Northern Army, so the influence is not big. The Qiang people are different."

After answering Sun Shang, Huo Shan shouted again:

"Tian Qianqiu."

"The minister is here."

"Order: Six thousand soldiers and horses from the Yueqi Department will move to the west of the three frontier forts, and assist the three frontier fortresses in their defense."

……

"Order: Lieutenant Hu Qi leads an army of [-] troops from Hu Qi's department, set up a crossbow array for Benhou, set up a line of defense, face the enemy head-on, and repel the Qiang invaders.

Order: Xu Ziwei led a [-]-strong army in central Huang, and the Hu cavalry generals of the Northern Army were divided into [-] to integrate into central Huang.

The whole army got on their horses, and after repelling the invading Qiang people, led by Hu cavalry officers of the Northern Army, they rushed out from the front with the help of the moonlight to disperse the Qiang people.

Then drive on the north side, drive the Qiang people into the southern mountainous area to relieve the pressure on our side on the east side, and don't drive straight to my side. "

After all the news had been sent out, Huo Shan calculated the distance, and it was about [-] miles away from the [-]-mile defense line, which was enough, so he ordered again:

"Central Army, Changshui Department, the whole army stops advancing!"

Then he called Captain Changshui:
"Seven thousand are preparing for war here, waiting for the return of the Qiang people, and the remaining three thousand are hiding five miles behind in the dark!"

"The last general takes orders!"

"Zhang Anshi, set up the drums, set up the battle formation, and set up a few big bonfires for the Marquis around this place, so that the soldiers and Qiang people can clearly see where my champion is.

Then set up the same bonfire for me three miles to the south and three miles to the north, and don't light these two places yet. "

"promise."

"Lieutenant Changshui, inform the soldiers that the Marquis is not here, but is hiding in the army."

"promise."

"Go, go three miles to the north."

Huo Shan also made the preparations first, so that everyone can see the champion flag clearly, in order to boost morale and deter the Qiang people.

But the strength of the Qiang people at this time is still very strong.

The six thousand heavy cavalry who left had already set off after a day's rest, but the journey was a bit long and they hadn't arrived yet.

So at this moment, the defense line here is only [-] long. If the Qiang people come to a wave of mourning soldiers, they will win and go straight to his central army, then there will be a great risk.

So it was impossible for him to stay where he was and expose himself.

Later, I told the soldiers to avoid hidden dangers. If the Chinese army was really rushed, the Changshui would immediately fall apart.

How about killing the general and capturing the flag, the coach is gone, so what else to do!

So tell them in advance that even if they are really rushed, the soldiers will know in their hearts that they will not panic, but will be proud.

And Huo Shan can suddenly appear in another place and command the army again.

And the [-] troops left behind were just in case. If they didn't frighten the Qiang people and they really rushed into the central army, the [-] soldiers left behind could kill the Qiang people by surprise.

After breaking up their broken alliance, the Changshui in front and the middle of Huanghuang following behind can easily drive them into the mountains.

.........

After Xiao Hei left, he first went to Xu Ziwei's place. After they got the order, Xiao Hei went to find Captain Yueqi, and they immediately took action.

Lieutenant Hu Qi and Zhao Chongguo did a good job in defense and crossbow formation, Xu Ziwei led [-] soldiers and horses to stay behind the line of defense, and the leader of Huangzhong stayed to the north with [-] soldiers.

The soldiers at the moment are in good spirits, and Xu Ziwei is also a veteran. The soldiers were a little tired after driving all night last night.

Moreover, he knew that in the next few days, there would be continuous battles, and there was a high probability that the soldiers would not have time to rest, so he let the soldiers take a good rest today.

So they all had enough food, drink and sleep, and the soldiers naturally felt that the more Qiang people came, the better, after all, these were all living military exploits!
But the result is destined to disappoint them, and this battle will not be fought at all.

Although the Qiang people did not fight, it was because of the external factor of the big man, but the relationship between them was like fire and water.

Moreover, those powerful people among the various tribes also have their own little thoughts. If the leader of the tribe is dead, who doesn't want to be the leader!

And in a tribe, he is not the only one with strength, and he is not the only one with such thoughts.

So there are problems between tribes, and problems within tribes are also very big!

At this moment, they are leaderless and have been running for a whole day. They haven't had time to think about how unfavorable the current situation is for them.

Coupled with the complicated situation between them, they are no different from a herd of horses running around at this moment.

As soon as they were tired and desperate, Huo Shan could easily deal with them.

As for the current situation of the Qiang people, Ling Qiang had already experienced the power of Xu Ziwei's crossbow array, so they would naturally not rush forward.

And they will naturally not inform other tribes of this situation.

At this moment, the relationship between the Qiang people is a life-and-death enemy, and it is Huo Shan's credit for not fighting. How could Xian Ling tell others about the situation.

On the contrary, they are also very happy to see these characters who make them fall short and let their leader die, and suffer a big loss.

And the next thing, needless to say, is a replica of the original.

The ones rushing to the front are the big tribes. If you want to say who is the most anxious to go back among these forces, it must be the big tribes.

There are many reasons, any conceivable reason can be found from them, for example, they are still delusional about Xian Lingqiang's territory.

The leader of the big tribe is definitely not dead. For example, the leader of Bailangqiang is still alive.

Moreover, the leaders of these big tribes are much smarter than others, and if they are not smart, they cannot be the leaders of the big tribes.

So they have to be more impatient than others, because if they continue to dawdle, it is really possible that they will all stay here.

But when a wave of arrows rained down, they didn't think so when they saw the sons who fell off their horses one after another.

What kind of shit is this!

The distance is still so far, Mao has not even touched, and lost more than a thousand people in one fell swoop, this, this, this... how to fight!

And they naturally retreated immediately, a copy of the original zero Qiang!

In fact, if they rush forward in one go, they have a high probability of rushing forward.

But if you can't rush forward and come back, you will basically have no chance. After all, if you go all out, you will decline again, and you will be exhausted three times!
And in their situation, it is impossible for them to meet the condition of rushing together.

They themselves are full of contradictions, and there is a most critical question, who will rush to the front?

Then the Qiang people tried again, and without any accident, they retreated again, and then they stood still, they couldn't run anymore!
And Xu Ziwei watched them not moving, he was a little puzzled and guessed, so he didn't attack immediately.

.........

"What, all dismounted, ready to surrender?"

Huo Shan looked at the scouts running over from Xu Ziwei's side.

To be honest, he was a little surprised that the Qiang people surrendered, but not very surprised.

They really have nowhere to go, well, except to surrender.

Huo Shan reckoned that at this moment they were almost on the verge of collapse, and surrender was a good choice for them.

Although surrendering to the big man is not a good choice for the tribal leader, because he can't be a master!

But for the low-level Qiang people, this is really a good choice. After all, the big man's welfare for those who surrendered is very good.

But now the leaders are basically dead, so it is not surprising that there is this reason.

And Huo Shan didn't know much about their leader's situation, so he was a little surprised.

Huo Shan took two steps, lowered his head and rubbed his chin for a while, then raised his head and told Zhang Anshi:
"Go to Xu Ziwei's side and tell the Qiang people to let them enter the mountains, maybe I can consider surrendering."

"promise!"

Zhang Anshi was ordered to return with the scouts, and fifty shots accompanied him for protection.

Huo Shan looked at their leaving backs, squinted his eyes and remembered.

He himself didn't even think about surrendering. If so many tribes surrendered, others, including Liu Che, would probably be very happy if they knew about it.

But Huo Shan disagreed very much, because it was a bad move, because he had seen through the essence of the matter.

Uh, the essence is actually not that exaggerated.

First of all, after the surrender, the usual method of the big Han is to move these people into the Han land.

Uh, this statement is actually not quite right. It should be said that they moved into the area already controlled by the big man.

Because if you don't move, it's no different from confiscating and surrendering. The early battles are basically not fought, and they are all wasted.

Because if you don’t move, if you keep them where they are, then you won’t be able to control them, and you won’t be able to control the area they’ve lived in for generations and just conquered.

Therefore, if these foreign races are to be surrendered, they must be relocated, and if they do not relocate, they will not be able to do it. It is very simple, that is the situation.

But now there are many key issues, one of which is that the Qiang people are different from the Huns.

In Huo Shan's own opinion, the Huns can play the game of conquest and relocation, but the Qiang people can't play it!

The situation in this is actually a bit complicated, but in summary, in the final analysis, it is a problem of the system.

The people at the bottom of the Xiongnu accepted the rule. After they moved to the Han, they would be able to accept the system of the Han after a period of adaptation.

After living for more than 20 or [-] years, after the new generation has grown up, except for some diehards, they are basically no different from the Han people.

Therefore, the risk of moving them to Han is not great!

But the Qiang people, they don't have a system, Huo Shan is sure, if the operation is not good, the risk of this system is really big!
Huo Shan is not sure whether the rebellious Qiang people can accept the system of the great Han.

In fact, he also thought about accepting the process of surrendering and relocating, but he finally gave up and chose to weaken and use it now, and gradually plan it in the future, accepting them as Han people.

And Huo Shan's set of policies is because he thought of another problem, which is also a very critical problem.

First of all, you need to be clear about a few things.

The first point is that the Qiang people who invaded this time are all Qiang people from around the Hehuang Valley, or not too far away.

The second point is that the area they control is the most fertile area in the entire Qiang area.

The third point is that the Han people have never entered the Qiang land, and the Han people cannot adapt to this area at present.

But now there is a very important problem, if you move them into the Han area, then this area will be empty!
And this area is very fertile compared to other places in the Qiang land, but the Han people can't control this area at present.

The Qiang people who came to attack were not all the Qiang tribes, but the Qiang people from other places saw that this area was empty and the big Han couldn't control the situation.

What happens next is an easy question.

They will migrate to this area and occupy this area.

But in this way, the situation changed back to the original situation in an instant, and it is possible that the new Qiang tribe would be even stronger.

And what did the big man get after all his hard work?
A bunch of Qiang people who might explode at any time?

The purpose of the big man has never been simply to destroy the enemy, but to expand the territory while destroying the enemy.

It doesn't work if you destroy the enemy, there are more enemies, the big man wants to hold this area in his hands.

Let it give birth to people who support me, not to give birth to enemies.

Therefore, when it comes to expanding the territory, it is not simply a matter of fighting and killing the enemy, nor is it simply of conquering the land, which is very complicated.

It stands to reason that it would be enough to come and kill a batch until they are all killed, but this is not the case.

This time is really a good opportunity. If they don't go down the mountain, the big man will have nothing to do with them, and they occupy this area, and the Han people have no place to adapt to the climate.

And Huo Shan didn't have time to stay here all the time, he still had the Western Regions and the Xiongnu.

Therefore, it is a good way to weaken the utilization.

And let these be weakened, the Qiang tribe that does not threaten the Han Dynasty occupy this place, and stop new enemies from other places.

One reason is that he is weaker, and the other reason is that he is more familiar.

Huo Shan rubbed his fingers, and he thought of another way, which might really be able to integrate surrender into his plan.
