Chapter 257 Run?Where can he go! (4.2K asking for a monthly ticket)
In the early morning of the next day, the army began to set off.

Huo Shan led the four schools of the Northern Army and four thousand cavalry in the center of the tiger and ben heavy cavalry to form the Chinese army.

And the [-] Qiang cavalry from various tribes walked at the forefront, as the front army, yes, yes, they walked at the forefront.

.........

"My lord, will the Qiang people run away?"

Huo Shan looked at it and hesitated for a long while, and Sun Shang, who finally asked the question, smiled and shook his head:

"will not!"

Sun Shang stared at Huo Shan, a little curious in his heart, and the others also cast their gazes over, they also wanted to know why Huo Shan was so sure that the Qiang people would not run away.

Huo Shan did not give an answer, but deliberately said:
"Look back, if you can run or not, you will know when you get to Xihai."

Qiang people can't run, and they can't run, and there are many reasons why they can't run.

For example, fear, fear, and two consecutive wars caused them to lose 15 soldiers here.

Now that Huo Shan is going to lead troops to the plateau, they don't know whether Huo Shan can do it, but for them, the situation has changed a lot.

Because if Huo Shan could do it, if there was the first time, there would be a second time, and the geographical advantage they relied on would no longer exist.

Judging from the two battles of the big man, they are not the opponent of the big man at all.

Huo Shan's prestige and the fear he had exerted these days also put a lot of pressure on them.

Therefore, they will not act rashly until they figure out the specific situation and whether the big man can threaten their hinterland.

This is one aspect, and there are other reasons. If there is a bad side, there will naturally be a good side, that is, expectation and yearning.

If the big man can really do the things mentioned above, then there is no need to choose whether to go to a higher place and live a harder life, or to take refuge in the big man and live a better life.

Given their current state of mind, they will definitely choose the latter.

In this aspect, Huo Shan also played a great role.

Being invincible is not a joke, and Huo Shan's generosity to his own people is also spread among the Qiang people.

As for how it spread to the Qiang people, this question is a bit complicated.

To put it simply, if there is a powerful empire around you, then these 'small countries' are bound to observe every move of this great empire.

And it just so happens that this powerful empire is still launching a war against the empire that suppressed him in the past, is more closely connected with itself, and is stronger than this great empire, and it is winning consecutive battles, so it is worth paying attention to.

And Huo Shan, the champion, was the one who attracted the most attention. It was not surprising that a little news came to let the Qiang people know.

Coupled with their natural nature of admiring the strong and worshiping the strong, combined with the previous situation, it is very normal for them to look forward to following Huo Shan.

So their mood at the moment is very complicated, that is, they feel that the Han people can't cross the plateau, and it's better for them to continue to be toubob.

I also feel that the Han people can do this, and it is not bad for them to follow the champion Hou, so they are very entangled.

But as I said before, the Qiang people are white-eyed wolves, they don't have that much loyalty at all, and they are also rebellious, so it doesn't make sense to change their minds so quickly.

In the final analysis, it was because they were defeated, not only the soldiers and horses of the army, but even their minds were also defeated by Huo Shan.

Life and death are within Huo Shan's thoughts. It's easy to say, but after experiencing it for themselves, they will know how terrible it is.

There is no water or food, and death is approaching step by step. Huo Shan ordered them to kill each other. No matter who you are, under this kind of terrifying pressure, you will collapse.

The reason they weren't crazy was that Huo Shan gave them a glimmer of hope, and he stopped in time, and didn't go too far and get stuck on that line, so they weren't crazy.

And this situation, combined with the various emotions mentioned above, is very complicated, so this changed my temperament.

If you are rebellious, you will also be proud. Are you proud in front of Huo Shan?
So when it comes to fighting, it is not just a simple confrontation between the two armies, it is enough to use the strategy of the army to fight against each other.

And they don't run, there is another very important reason, and it is also the most simple and direct one of the many reasons.

That's what Huo Shan said, take them to preempt Ling Qiang's cattle and sheep.

Their losses in this battle are really too great, and now they have such an opportunity to make up for it, they are naturally unwilling to let it go.

And it can also satisfy the little thought of following the champion Hou in advance.

And why they are sure that Huo Shan will divide their cattle and sheep, needless to say, it is still the same word-believe!

Even the Huns, who are life and death enemies, will be convinced by the promise made by Champion Hou, because they know that once Champion Hou promises, it will definitely be fulfilled.

Even the Qiang people are convinced of this.

Don't talk about stubbornness, this is the most important principle of establishing a world in this era.

If you don't keep your word, it's not as simple as no one being your friend, but you are cast aside by the world, even if you are a champion.

However, Huo Shan has not responded formally before, and has always said that he is considering it, and this is the reason for considering it.

The Qiang people's sliver of hope rested partly on Huo Shan's letter, and they killed each other in exchange for Huo Shan's promise.

So they never doubted the reason why Huo Shan's promises were not counted.

There are many other reasons, these reasons made Huo Shan sure that the Qiang people would not run away.

The Qiang people were very convinced of Huo Shan's promise, but the big Han didn't trust the Qiang people so much, just because they had too many criminal records.

This is also the reason why Sun Shang asked the Qiang people if they would run away after the Qiang people had surrendered.

If the Qiang were replaced by the Huns, Sun Shang would never have asked this question.

There are many reasons for this, but in the final analysis it is because of the system.

Once the Huns surrendered to the big man, they would have no place to stand in the Huns. The two countries fought, and they only had a good way to go to surrender to the big man.

The Qiang people are different, they don't have such a strict system, and they don't have the same three views as the Huns.

On the one hand, they believed in this letter, on the other hand, they didn't abide by this set of rules, so Huo Shan called them white-eyed wolves!

But all of this is irrelevant, when they got to Xihai, when they saw Zhao Puonu, all the problems were gone.

Huo Shan asked them to abide by this letter.

Speaking of this matter, after arriving in the West Sea, Huo Shan probably will have to use some tricks.

Zhao Puonu was in the hinterland of the Qiang people, and there were only two major tribes moving, Zhong Qiang and Bailang Qiang.

And before Huo Shan ordered him to change his target, they even wiped out some small tribes.

As for the people of these small tribes, of course they cannot be allowed to go back. This is a hidden danger!

When you go home and find that the tribe has been wiped out, what will you think?
Although Lao Zhao and the others didn't leave behind their hands, they could turn the spearhead to other tribes and let them fight among themselves, but this is not in line with Huo Shan's strategy!

The fact that Lao Zhao wanted to plunder the Qiang land was to be widely publicized to deter the Qiang people, but if it was used to divert conflicts, then this matter would have to be concealed.

And can this matter be concealed?
Can't hide it!

Not only can't hide it, but also can't hide it.

It is not in his interest not to hide it, but it is because both Zhong Qiang and Bai Lang Qiang have been wiped out, the movement is too great, and it is too difficult to change the contradiction.

And at this stage, what Huo Shan wants is not internal fighting, but stability.

So when Huo Shan knows which small tribes they are, he must deal with them.

But in this matter, Huo Shan won't let himself intervene, even if he doesn't intervene, then there are simply not too many ways to do it.

It is still quite troublesome to let them rush forward as cannon fodder when they hit the first zero.

If you want to be simpler, after the matter over there is settled, Huo Shan casually reveals a little bit of tone, I believe there will be many people among the Qiang people doing this to curry favor with him.

Moreover, Huo Shan is also planning to find two or three tribes among the Qiang people, use them as dog legs, pamper them, and let them be masters.

Play a little bit with using Qiang to control Qiang, and when they get angry and resentful, they will kill the chickens to make an example and take them away to win people's hearts.

Weaken them step by step, integrate them, and prepare for the big man to completely conquer this area in the future.

But that's all for the future.

I have to say, it's a fucking trouble if you have too much power!
He, Huo Shan, just wanted to fight a simple battle!
°° Alas!

.........

The army of 9000 people walked slowly for half a day, without even reaching the valley of escape.

However, this was also Huo Shan's intention. The battle between the two sides had only stopped yesterday, and the soldiers hadn't regained their strength yet.

Especially for the Qiang people, the terror left over from the past few days has not completely dissipated from their hearts, and now they have suddenly changed their family, which makes them very uncomfortable.

And the soldiers and horses of the big man followed behind their buttocks, which made them very uneasy.

The speed increased unknowingly several times, and Huo Shan also suppressed it several times.

The purpose of the half-day slow march was to let the two parties get used to it. If it wasn't for the urgent time, Huo Shan would have to let them get used to it for two days.

But no, today is already fifteen.

Xiao Hei went there, and Lao Zhao also sent a letter. They have arrived at the southeast side of the West Sea, which is where the Qiang people assembled their army, and it is also the area where the bottom of the Hehuang Valley enters the West Sea.

Xianling Qiang's territory is on the northwest side of the West Sea, and coming from Zhong Qiang and Bailang, it is actually closer to Xianling.

And Huo Shan made Lao Zhao go so far just to let the Qiang people meet Lao Zhao and the others.

If you want to fight against the outside world, you must first settle down. Let’s stabilize these Qiang tribes first.

Although for their [-] soldiers and horses, it is more than enough to destroy the Qiang first, but he, Huo Shan, dare not bring troops who are not stable inside.

So the time is urgent, half a day is enough, and there is no delay.

.........

"Order the Qiang people in front to march in a hurry, when will they arrive in Huangzhong, and when will they light the fire for cooking."

"promise."

Huo Shan was not afraid of them running away, no matter how fast they ran, Huo Shan could keep up.

Zhang Anshi and the others were already used to Huo Shan's quick march.

Zhang Anshi said with a chuckle:

"This place is about 150 miles away from Huangzhong. When we get to Huangzhong, it may be midnight."

Huo Shan waved his hands and said indifferently:

"It's not a big problem. It's midnight. Anyway, I'll have a day off tomorrow."

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Huo Shan continued:

"The terrain in Huangzhong is not very high, but if you go all the way from Huangzhong to the West Sea, the terrain of the road will become higher and higher step by step.

So rest for a day in Huangzhong, let the soldiers recharge their batteries, and then walk slowly!
Afterwards, the two hundred li journey from Huangzhong to Lao Zhao's place was also rugged and winding.

I plan to walk the two hundred miles for two days. I can't speed up because of the urgency of time. I have to let the soldiers get used to it slowly. "

Everyone nodded, Zhang Anshi chuckled again and said:

"There is no problem between the Qiang people and Huangzhong, only the Beijun and Huben. They are strong and healthy, and I think they will be able to adapt soon."

Huo Shan nodded, and Wang Wei, who was following behind, smiled again and said:

"The road is driven by horses, and the soldiers just need to get used to it.

Horses in Qiang and Huangzhong are the same as people, so there will be no problems.

All the horses of the Northern Army were replaced with fine horses from the Qiang people.

Huben's horses are all very good, and they are all Qin horses, so they can adapt. "

Huo Shan nodded, then took up the conversation and said:

"You can't just walk away, people have to come down and walk around, move to get used to it, the soldiers are going to fight, so what if you can't move."

Everyone frowned, Tian Qianqiu asked:
"The Qiang people saw it..."

"Haha, what we want is to let them see that we are adapting. Although I am [-]% sure that the Qiang people will not run away, I still have to give them a try.

And when they saw it, they turned their horses and attacked us. They didn't have the guts. Even if they had the guts, they couldn't do anything if the soldiers and horses couldn't spread out in the mountains. "

Han Zeng took over the conversation:
"Then what if they just ran away?"

Huo Shan cast a glance at him, and smiled softly:
"Run? Where can they run? At the end, Lao Zhao is waiting for them with Huben. When they see Lao Zhao, they will naturally stop obediently."

After thinking about it, everyone nodded in agreement, but Liu Ju couldn't help it:
"Why is this?"

He didn't interrupt all the time, he really couldn't figure it out here, and couldn't help it.

For him, there is truth everywhere, even a marching army has so much knowledge, this is what a few people said, and there are probably more who didn't say it.

So he has been studying, Huo Shan is also happy to see this, he knows a little bit, he doesn't need to know too much, just knowing the difficulties of marching and fighting.

But when the Qiang people saw that Zhao Ponu had stopped running away, Liu Ju really couldn't figure it out.

Huo Shan touched his chin and thought for a while, and after thinking about how to explain it, he said:
"This matter, the situation is a bit complicated, but to put it simply, they are afraid, and the fear in their hearts has come true."

"Scared?"

"That's right, I was afraid. The Qiang people used to be confident because they had a favorable location, and the Han soldiers could not reach their hinterland.

And when they saw a Han army waiting for them in their hinterland, combined with a series of circumstances, even if the army was only a few hundred, they did not dare to run away. "

Liu Ju clapped his hands suddenly:
"Because once the soldiers and horses of the big man can enter their hinterland, then his support will be gone.

And they are descendants, so they will naturally make the most beneficial choice for them, which is to join the big man. "

Liu Ju lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded with a smile:

"I understand, I understand!"

Huo Shan and the others looked at each other and smiled when they saw Liu Zheng's appearance!
