Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 660 Implicated

"General, Bald Hair Si Futan and Tuoba Gu joined forces to abandon Dunhuang and attack Guzang!" The scout came to report.

Murong Chui's 8,000 black cloud elites and Qifu Si Fan's 7,000 cavalry troops stationed troops in Jincheng for several months, but they remained stationary, waiting for military orders from Chang'an.

Half of the reason why Qifu Sifan returned to Liang was because he admired Murong Chui.

Therefore, the Xianbei people in Liangzhou are divided into three parts.

To the west of the Yellow River, everyone followed Tufa Sifu and raised troops. The tribe became more and more powerful. In a few months, it snowballed to more than 50,000 troops. Including Tuoba Gu's 20,000 troops, the strength was nearly 80,000, known as 200,000. .

The Fusi, Chulian, Chilu, and Qifu tribes east of the Yellow River submitted to the command of Murong Chui, who was also a Xianbei.

Then there is the Huangshui River Basin, which belongs to Kangning, the Huns.

After Yao Chang's death, the Qiang people in Liangzhou were leaderless and became a scattered mess, participating in various major forces.

"Of all the counties in Liangzhou, Guzang is the most powerful. Bald-haired Sifuzhen and Tuobagu are so powerful that Liangzhou will be unable to resist it. Moreover, there are many Qiang and Hu people in Liangzhou city. If their army turns around and heads east, it must be in Guzang city. Someone is secretly communicating." Gao Bi cupped his hands and said.

It was obvious at a glance who started this rebellion.

Guzang is also the core place of Samana.

When Fu Jian attacked Liangzhou and besieged the city for nearly a year, he failed to defeat it. In the end, the people of Shamen cooperated internally and externally to capture Guzang, and the entire Liangzhou fell under Di Qin's command.

If they can do it the first time, they can definitely do it again.

"Fu Ya, you are a good general, how can you be unprepared? In the opinion of my subordinates, it is better to go up the Huang River and destroy Kangning first! The land in the Hehuang Valley is fertile with abundant water and grass. It is fertile soil for dragons and horses. It can multiply our clan!" Fu Sifan's eyes gleamed.

The reason for defecting to Daliang is naturally out of self-interest.

There are more than 70,000 households in the Xianbei tribes in Yuanchuan and Yingshichuan, and they urgently need a larger place to live.

He did not dare to have extravagant hopes for the ancient Chinese places such as Guzang, Dunhuang, and Longyou, but he was very interested in the wild places in Huangzhong.

The chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, the melee of the Three Kingdoms, followed by the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, the Yongjia Disaster, and then the Shihu deliberately harmed China, which resulted in a significant decrease in population. China was in a state of contraction, and even important places such as You and Yong were gradually abandoned.

Qifu Sifan never thought about meeting Daliang's swordsmen, but it was his "conspiracy" to take advantage of Daliang's power to seek better development.

If Daliang wants to control the vast mountains and rivers in the northwest, he also needs the help of barbarians like them.

Otherwise, every time they send troops from Chang'an or Luoyang, Daliang will face the same dilemma as the Eastern Han Dynasty.

It wasn't that they couldn't win, but that rebellions occurred one after another, which eventually drained the Han Dynasty of its national power.

Qifu Sifan was not very ambitious, he only wanted to find a governor to protect the Western Qiang. Just like Yao Yizhong's father Yao Kehui, who assisted the Wei army in attacking Jiang Wei of the Shu Han Dynasty, he was granted the title of Captain of Suirong and the Commander of the Western Qiang.

However, Murong Chui glanced at him sideways, with a hint of contempt in his eyes, "Why go to Huangzhong and become a barbarian if you don't do anything good in Huaxia? If you wait for a rebellion someday, won't my Murong family have to be implicated by you?" "

After marrying into the royal family, the Murong family has become a new prominent family in China and is tied to the national destiny of Daliang. If nothing happens, they will become the leading noble family in China in dozens or hundreds of years.

Dynasties changed, but the gentry remained prosperous.

Qifu Sifan looked embarrassed and stammered: "We are Xianbei people after all... The imperial court has always looked down upon us. This time the rebellion subsided, but within a few years, the rebellion started again..."

This is true. Half of the reason for the Han-Qiang war was that the border officials were greedy and corrupt. They regarded the Qiang as cattle and horses and exploited them crazily until they could no longer survive.

Historical records: Qianghu people were given left collarbones, and they lived together with the Han people. Their customs were different and their languages ​​​​could not be understood. A few of them were petty officials who were cunning and saw the robbery. They were poor and bored, so they rebelled. The barbarians and bandits are in chaos because of this.

Different customs are the root cause of repeated rebellions.

The Liangzhou Qiang and Hu surrendered for a while, but eventually rebelled. "So when the rebellion breaks out again, it's your chance?" Murong Chui sneered.

"Of course not. By then our clan can help Daliang quell the rebellion." Qifu Sifan didn't even believe the lies he told.

Liang Guozhen got so bad that he needed to rely on him to put down the rebellion. I'm afraid Liangzhou was no longer the territory of Liang Guo.

Gao Bi on the side shook his head and said: "Daliang is not comparable to the Han and Wei Dynasties, and Wang Meng is a very human being. Since he provoked this rebellion, he must eradicate it and eliminate future troubles forever. I advise you to give up this thought to avoid the disaster of death."

This rebellion has been going on for such a long time. Except for the Qiang and Hu who are active on the water, the nobles, Wang Meng, Fu Ya, and even the court all watched with cold eyes, which is very scary to think about.

Who is Wang Meng?

He has no scruples about things that others dare not touch. He has no regard for personal safety, honor or disgrace, nor does he care about his family.

Even Murong Chui would shy away from such a fierce man.

"Sir, this is a lesson." Qifu Sifan hurriedly handed over his hand, but the corner of his eye kept glancing at Murong Chui.

Whether his idea can come true depends on whether Murong Chuizhi supports it.

Murong Chui's attitude directly made him feel half-hearted.

"For hundreds of years, there have been so many barbarians and Di, but where are they now? Huaxia alone has been prosperous forever!" When Murong Chui was not in charge of the army in these years, he also liked to listen to books, such as the Spring and Autumn Warring States and the Qin and Han Dynasties. own opinions.

The Murong family is not a simple grassland tribe. The children of the Murong family have read many Confucian classics.

At that time, Murong Xuan wrote the "Family Order" with thousands of words, and Murong Huang wrote the "Tai Shang Zhang" and fifteen chapters of "Dian Jie" to teach his children. Therefore, the Murong family produced many talents.

"General, don't worry, if your subordinates do something unkind and unjust, they will die without a burial place!" Qifu Sifan pointed his finger to the sky and swore a poisonous oath.

"Go." Murong frowned.

Gao Bi looked at Si Fan's back and said, "Those who swear frequently must have ulterior motives."

Back then, Sima Yi even swore on Luoshui in front of all the noble families that he would never harm Cao Shuang in the slightest...

"Humph, Yi Di is Yi Di, with a human face and a beast's heart." Murong Chui had actually known Si Fan's thoughts for a long time, but he kept trying to persuade him for the sake of his master's surrender.

Now it seems that all efforts were in vain.

There are more than 70,000 households in the Xianbei tribe of Qifu Sifan. Among those who have swords and soldiers these days, except Fu Ya, who can be honest?

"This person is quite scheming, general, be careful."

No one can survive in this troubled world with a simple mind.

"He wants to pull me into the water, but I am also prepared in his army. There are still people in Xianbei tribes who are supporting me." Murong Chui I's fame will definitely not be ruined in the hands of Si Fan.

"General, you have great foresight!" Gao Bi handed over his hand.

"General, the king has commanded a 60,000-strong army from Chang'an and marched straight to the west of the river!"

The scouts outside the tent came to report.

Murong Chui and Gao Bi were shocked, "Here we come!"

Wang Meng finally raised his troops, and the Liangzhou rebellion was almost over.
