Silver Fox of the Three Kingdoms

Among the rebellious army, Shen Chen beheaded Shaodang Qiang King Mangzhong, and another Shaodang Qiang King Zhu Yi also died in the battle, killed by a Qiang warrior who followed Shen Chen.

As soon as they died, the Qiang soldiers that the two organized to resist also scattered.

Further away, the rest of the Qiang people who were still leaving their tents to come to help did not dare to come, they could only watch from afar.

Soon the battlefield became quiet, and there were only nearly a thousand corpses left on the ground.In the first wave of charge, more people died not from the charge, but from the overturning of the horses.

Under Wanqi's iron hooves, the thousands of people brought by Mangzhong and Zhuyi couldn't stop them at all. A large number of Qiang people were rushed off their horses and trampled to death. The battlefield was full of human and horse corpses. There are a lot of unclaimed horses wandering around.

Shen Chen's body was stained with blood, and the knife in his hand was also dripping blood. He turned his head and saw more than a hundred bodyguards and a few disciples around him were also covered in blood. There were a few casualties, but they were in high spirits. meaning.

"Captain."

Gu Duo and several Qiang commanders rode over from behind, then got off their horses and reported to him: "The enemy has been defeated."

"Ah."

Shen Chen looked around.

Above the wilderness, there are all the Qiangdi tribes watching from afar.

After Mang Zhong and Zhu Yi were beheaded, the members of their tribe fled back to their camp in panic.

Many people began to flee westward with their families.

According to the Qiangdi tradition, after the leader is killed, the tribe will be annexed by the rest.

However, the tribes of Mangzhong and Zhuyi are the most powerful Shaodang Qiang in this area. There are tens of thousands of tribes, and the combined strength of the two tribes can be [-] to [-]. The combined population of the two tribes is more than [-].

No one can annex them.

So many people thought they were going to be slaughtered, so they ran away one after another.

However, there were also some forces within themselves, and they quickly stopped the Qiang people who wanted to escape, and soon someone came to negotiate and expressed their willingness to surrender.

Shen Chen smiled, and asked Gu Duo and others to surround the entire Mangzhong tribe, and then asked all the tribe leaders to go to the king's tent.

He himself led hundreds of people and swaggered into the Mangzhong tribe, not paying any attention to the fact that there were [-] to [-] people in the enemy tribe, and there were still [-] to [-] strong Qiang people.

Because all the Qiang people in the tents on both sides automatically moved out of the way, everyone looked at him not with hatred, but with deep awe and respect.

The Qiang people worshiped the strong, Han Sui was a Han Chinese, and even killed the Qiang king Beigong Boyu, but he was still admired by the Qiang people.Ma Chao is of mixed Qiang-Han blood, and in Xiliang he has been known as a general of divine power, which shows his status in the hearts of the Qiang people.

Therefore, just like the Mongols later, the killing of the tribal leader never made the tribal people feel hatred, but a deep obedience. This is the experience of nomads for thousands of years and their deep-rooted respect for the strong The result of the idea.

After all, life has to be lived on, the leader and the tribe were killed, and the rest of the tribe had to join other tribes to survive if they wanted to survive.For the continuation of the tribe, why care about hatred?

Soon under the awe-inspiring eyes of the Qiang people, Shen Chen entered the king's tent, Wu Dang and Shan Yi guarded the door as usual, and Jiang Wei and Deng Ai screened the personnel.

Except for Gu Duo and others who followed him, Qiang Shuai from the imperial camp, the leaders of other large and small tribes, as well as several successors of the two big tribes of Mangzhong and Zhuyi, were put into the tent. Jiang Wei and Deng Ai Sitting on the left and right of Shen Chen, Gu Duo and the others followed.

Immediately after that was the clear seating order. Although Gu Duo and the others belonged to the small and medium-sized Qiang tribes, they were seated on top of all the Qiang di tribes because they belonged to the Shen Chen camp, and then the other big tribes.

There are several successors of Mangzhong and Zhuyi, basically they are their brothers and sons. The tribal order of nomadic people is like this, either brother will end up with brother, or father will die and son will replace him.

At this moment, everyone was sitting in a row in turn, and there were no more than 50 people in Wang's tent. They all sat down respectfully and waited for Shen Chen to speak on it.

Shen Chen looked around, put the blood-dripping tiger gall knife horizontally on the table, and said angrily: "I am the shepherd of Liangzhou, a great Han, and I will govern Xiliang on behalf of the emperor. Liangzhou was originally a Han land, and you are in the Han land. Above, it is the Han people, and since they committed rebellion, they should be executed and exterminated, what else do you have to say?"

Hearing this sentence, the hearts of the people below suddenly turned cold.

Many Qiang leaders knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said: "The envoys, Mang Zhong and Zhu Yi are the ones who coerced us to come to the alliance. If we don't obey, we will be slaughtered. Our tribe has hundreds of troops, so we can only come here .”

"Yes, Shijun, we have absolutely no intention of rebelling. We heard that Shijun has always had a virtuous government in Liangzhou, and we all want to join him. However, Mangzhong and Zhuyi are so powerful, we have to follow."

"Forgiveness is the envoy. There are 400 soldiers in our tribe, but I only brought [-] people here. I just didn't want to fight against the imperial court. They forced me to do so."

Everyone kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Shen Chen immediately smiled and said: "So it turns out that since you are all coerced, it would be unfair if you killed them all. As the saying goes, God has the virtue of good life, and His Majesty has always established the world with benevolence and righteousness. Since you are all If it is not voluntary, then only the head of the culprit will be punished, and the rest will be spared death."

After saying these words, everyone below was overjoyed and thanked again and again: "Thank you, envoy, thank you very much, envoy."

But they were happy, and the leaders of Mang Zhong and Zhu Yi couldn't sit still, and immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy. One of them said: "Master, I firmly oppose my brother's rebellion. But he is the leader, and I can't help it."

"Yes, envoy, my father did not listen to my persuasion. I told him that the new Liangzhou Muzhai is kind-hearted and treats us leniently. He must not rebel, but my father listened to the words of Wei envoy and insisted on rebellion."

"Nonsense, you obviously persuaded my brother to rebel. You rebellious son killed your father. Do you still think you can inherit our Mangzhong tribe?"

"You're just talking nonsense. You bewitched my father. What did the envoys tell you that day? Do you think I don't know?"

"Brother, you should have fought to the death with your father. The envoy of the State of Wei was the first to find you. The father who contacted you through you, we are sure that the death of the tribe will be at your hands."

"The envoy of the State of Wei came to me first, but didn't you agree? Don't think that you can get rid of it by throwing the blame on me!"

Qiangdi tribes are often named after their leaders.

Now that Mang Zhong and Zhu Yi died, the successors of the two tribes immediately began to shirk their responsibilities and tried their best to blame each other.

The reason for doing this is also very simple. Naturally, they want to put the other party to death so that they can take over the tribe by themselves.

However, Shen Chen's expression was very gloomy, and he looked at them angrily and said, "Shut up!"

When he got angry, the few of them immediately calmed down like quails. In their battle just now, between brothers, uncles and nephews, they wanted to strangle each other to death.

Shen Chen looked at them and said: "As expected, you were provoked by Cao Wei. Since you have been defeated, where is the messenger?"

"It has already been put up, please let the king go."

A 40-year-old man of the Qiang nationality hastily stepped forward and knelt in front of Shen Chen and said, "Master, if I can inherit the Mangzhong tribe, I will obey your orders from now on."

"Go in!"

At this moment, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and two envoys were escorted in.

Shen Chen looked at them and asked, "Who sent you two to provoke the Qiang people to rebel?"

"Humph."

One sneered and kept silent.

Shen Chen smiled: "Push it out and cut it."

Someone pulled him out immediately, and soon there was a scream.

His death not only frightened many Qiang people in the tent, but also made another Wei envoy tremble with fright.

Shen Chen looked at him and said, "You can say it, you can say it, you still have one life, if you don't say it, you die!"

"I said, I said."

The man quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "It was Yin Feng, governor of Dunhuang, and Su Ze, governor of Jiuquan, who asked us to come."

"Sure enough, they are."

Shen Chen sighed: "I heard that when Cao Pi usurped the Han, Su Ze used to wear mourning clothes and weep for the great Han. I didn't expect that he was also a traitor."

The envoy said: "Su Taishou said that he mourned for the great man because he was a Han official, but now that it is a fact that King Wei ascended the throne, he is a Wei official, and he should do things that are loyal to the emperor."

"Su Ze has a very high prestige in Jincheng. Cao Pi sent him to Jiuquan, which is indeed a good idea."

Shen Chen waved his hand: "Pull it out. I have faith. I won't kill him if I say I won't kill him. Let him go back and tell Su Ze that the big man is not dead yet. If he still has faith, he should belong to the Han land instead of continuing to fight for him." Usurpers like Cao Wei serve as minions for tigers."

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."

The envoy got a life, immediately kowtowed with joy, and was escorted out backwards.

After he left, Shen Chen frowned.

Su was a native of Fufeng in Guanzhong. He once promoted Xiaolian and Maocai at the same time, and served as the prefect of Jiuquan, Anding, Jincheng and other places.

When Liu Bei and Cao Cao competed for Xiliang, he stood on Cao Cao's side.

Because he believed that Cao Cao was attacking Liu Bei in the name of the Son of Heaven, and the righteousness was in Cao Cao's hands, so when Cao Cao attacked Liu Bei, he sent troops to assist Cao Cao.

After Cao Cao was forced to retreat to Guanzhong because Cao Hong was beheaded, he took Su Ze with him and became a close servant.

When Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, this man was still in mourning for the Han Dynasty.At that time, Shen Chen thought he was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, but Cao Pi sent him back to Jiuquan backhandedly, and began to use his high prestige in Jincheng County to make trouble.

This made Shen Chen very unhappy.

He has not yet gone north to occupy Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang and other counties. It is not because of lack of strength, but because he believes that sending troops from Tianshui to those places, the farthest is more than 1000 kilometers from Dunhuang, and the nearest Wuwei is more than 600 kilometers. The loss outweighs the gain.

It will not be too late to send troops to the Western Regions until the general takes the lead and defeats the Cao thief.

But now it seems that it may be time to send troops.

At least he must stabilize the situation in the rear and remove all the unstable factors of Cao Wei in Liangzhou, so as to prevent a sudden rebellion in the rear when he attacked Guanzhong.

Thinking of this, Shen Chen looked at the 40-year-old Qiang man before, and said, "What's your name?"

"Satong."

"Satong, you said before that if you can inherit the Mangzhong tribe, you will all obey my orders from then on?"

"Yes."

Sa Tong immediately said: "Everything is dispatched by the envoy."

"Emissary, if I can inherit the Mangzhong tribe, I am willing to obey all the orders of the envoy."

Mangzhong's son became anxious immediately, and hurried forward to kowtow.

The rest have followed suit.

Mangzhong has two younger brothers and four sons.Zhu Yi is a younger brother and a son.

In fact, it should be more than that, because Zhu Yi came to the Mangzhong Tribal Association, and he brought a younger brother and a son with him this time.

But those relatives who stayed in the tribe naturally lost their inheritance rights.

Seven or eight people rushed to declare their allegiance to Shen Chen. Shen Chen felt a little headache, so he slapped the table and said, "Shut up."

Everyone immediately fell silent.

Shen Chen looked around at them, and said in a deep voice: "Qiang people should be honest. I am a shepherd of Liangzhou, and I would like to establish faith among the Qiang people. But you have rebelled once. If you want to stand in front of me again Obtaining faith should not be as simple as a verbal promise. What's more, if any two of you succeed to the throne of King Qiang, those who compete with you will be killed. This is something I don't want to see, and I'm also afraid You took revenge on Guduo and other Qiangdi who followed me. So I decided to divide your tribe and each of you will get a part. At the same time, your tribe’s cattle, horses and slaves will also share a part. I will use it as a reward Gu Duo and the others, this is something I decided, and it is also a punishment for your rebellion against the court. If someone has objections, then I believe that others will be happy to accept the tribe and property of the dissidents. Do you have any objections?"

When this question was asked, the eight people kowtowed almost simultaneously: "No objection."

Just kidding, didn't the words already say it?If they disagree, they will die. Even if they all want to inherit a powerful tribe, Shen Chen's words are still right.

Now the eight of them, brothers, uncles and nephews, have almost reached the point of life and death in order to snatch the inheritance of the tribe.

If Shen Chen really designated two of them as Qiang King, then the rest would definitely be executed.

So it's better to separate.

Even if the Qiang king of a large tribe becomes the leader of a small and medium tribe, that would be better than death.

"Since that's the case, let's arrange it."

Shen Chen looked at Deng Ai and Jiang Wei and said, "Shizai, Boyue, I will order you two to serve as captains of the Qiang guards, and lead Guduo and the others to carry out the division here. It must be fair and just."

"Yes."

Deng Ai and Jiang Wei silently praised Shen Chen in their hearts.

Master Xin Dao has a good method.

Mangzhong and Zhuyi are the two largest Qiang kings in Jincheng County, and there is another Qiang king, Shao Ge, who is kneeling below.

Now that the two major Qiang kings have been divided into tribes, their strength has been greatly weakened, and only burning weapons are left.

really.

In the next second, Shen Chen surrendered his eyes to Shao Ge and said, "King Shao Ge Qiang, do you say you are willing to submit to me?"

"Yes."

Shao Ge quickly said: "I am willing to surrender."

"Ah."

Shen Chen nodded: "Take your people and follow me. Jincheng County does not allow large-scale Qiang tribes. If the Qiangs want to live in this land, they must not unite against the Han people, but fight against the Han people like the Han people. Cultivate, graze, and be the masters of the family. Each tribe should be like the village of the Han people, only allowing a small number of people to settle in an area, this is also to prevent a large number of Qiang people from gathering and destroying the grassland. Liangzhou Qiang people should follow the path of sustainable development. I will promote education among the Qiang tribes. Qiang people who are willing to read and practice calligraphy can become officials as long as they are talented. There are also Qiang people who are willing to join the army and fight, as long as they can make military exploits , I will not be stingy with rewards. From today onwards, Qiang and Han treat each other equally, and are not allowed to be hostile to each other, nor are they allowed to discriminate against each other. But if there are violators, I will punish them without mercy, do you understand?"

Shao Ge's heart trembled suddenly, and he said with a bitter face: "Understood."

"clear."

Many Qiang and Di leaders below responded one after another.

Shen Chen stood up and looked around, and finally said: "The Qiang Han family does not distinguish between each other. This is the iron law I set in Liangzhou, and it will not be changed for thousands of years. You must treat each other as compatriots. To prosper Liangzhou, start today!"

"Respectfully obey the order of the envoy (Great Governor)!"

The people below, including Guduo and others, stood up and kowtowed.

In this battle, Shen Chen gained his prestige.

Since then, Megatron Liangzhou!
