The most poisonous person in the Three Kingdoms, Boss Cao advised me to calm down!

Chapter 338 If you can’t afford to offend, can you still afford to hide?

When Jiang Gan asked this question, no one in the audience answered.

Jiang Gan laughed out loud when he saw this:

"Of course, our Prime Minister Cao also said so."

"In troubled times, people's hearts are hard to predict."

"If everyone in Liangzhou still doesn't trust him."

"Please don't hesitate, gather your troops and attack Chencang immediately."

"He is waiting for you there now."

"If you don't dare to go, he will come to this Golden City again in person!"

"As it is now, you are neither willing to fight nor surrender. What's the reason?!"

"Your Han and Ma families have dominated Xiliang for many years."

"Now a group of common people have gathered here."

"But he only knows how to encourage others to charge into battle."

"But they hid behind the scenes and reaped the benefits."

"Isn't that just like a woman?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the audience.

Ma Chao and others were so angry that they drew their swords and cursed.

The expressions of Fu Gan and his companions around him also became a little strange!
But facing the tense atmosphere on the field, Jiang Gan was not afraid at all.

But he patted his head and said:
"Oh, I did say something wrong."

"I have traveled hundreds of miles of yellow sand to get here."

"I have seen with my own eyes that the women of Liangzhou can draw bows on horses and farm when they get off horses."

"I can fight with a spear, weave and raise children. How can you compare with me?"

"If you say you are like a woman."

"That's too disrespectful to your wives, daughters and sisters!"

After saying this, he didn't even look at the furious Ma Chao, and the gloomy Han Sui.

He also ignored the increasingly chaotic scene in the audience.

He was escorted by a group of young men from wealthy families.

Retreat behind Zhao Ang.

Zhao Ang and others also had somewhat ugly expressions at this time.

"Ziyi, you're going a bit too far."

"Today we are here to persuade people to surrender and seek peace."

"How can you humiliate the people of Liangzhou like this?"

Jiang Gan just smiled when he heard this and apologized to them repeatedly.

In fact, what he just said.

It was before setting out that Sima De gave him specific instructions.

Originally, it was Jiang Gan’s mission.

It is to ensure that Han Sui cannot gather the hearts of the people of Liangzhou here again.

But in Sima De's opinion.

At the moment, there are probably few people in Liang Province who are willing to stand with Han Sui and Ma Chao.

So, if we can deal a further blow to the enemy's morale.

That would be great.

And today we have the assistance of Zhao Ang, Fu Gan and others.

His task also became unusually easy.

So we just increased our efforts.

Before he knew it, even Zhao Ang and others were unhappy.

Fortunately, it had no impact on the development of the situation.

That night, everything went just as Sima De had expected.

No matter how unwilling Han Sui was, no matter how restless Ma Chao was.

The gathering of the various tribes in Liangzhou ultimately yielded no results.

After recognizing the situation, few people dared to follow Han Ma and commit suicide.

Seeing that the alliance failed, Ma Chao knew that it was pointless to fight to the death.

He decided to avoid Cao Cao's army and led his troops away that night.

After that, he disappeared.

And Cao Cao was prepared to do what he said.

The next day, he ordered Cao Zhang to lead 3,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry as the vanguard.

Plus the 20,000 cavalry commanded by Cao Ren.

The troops were dispatched from Chencang and headed west along the Wei River.

The troops headed straight for Han Sui's old nest, Jincheng County.

Logically speaking, from this moment on.

Cao Cao's real purpose of using the enemy's territory as a pretext to attack Guo has become clear.

It can be regarded as a step towards pacifying Liangzhou.

However, as Cao Zhang and Cao Ren entered the heartland of Liang Province.

However, the counties in Xiliang seemed to be in a situation where the dust had settled.

Cao Zhang led three thousand soldiers westward and just stepped into the territory of Longxi.

Local nobles and Qiang and Hu leaders along the way.

They led their troops and asked to surrender.

By the time they arrived at Xiangwu County, the seat of Jincheng County, the number of Liangzhou troops behind them had reached 50,000.

However, when they arrived at the city of Xiangwu, they found the city gate wide open.

Cao Zhang took the lead and rushed into the city with his cavalry.

I understood it only after I confirmed that there was no ambush inside.

It turned out that Han Sui had already fled with his troops the night before!

Actually, Han Sui knew it very well in his heart.

Things are different now. Back then, he could resist an army of 100,000 from the imperial court in Yuzhong.

It’s not because of how resourceful and good at fighting he is.

It’s not that the city is so indestructible.

But at that time the Han Dynasty had already lost the support of the people of Liangzhou.

The entire Liangzhou stood on the side of these rebels.

As the saying goes, those who are righteous have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous have few supporters.

The support of the people is the key to his success.

In just a few days, Han Sui held out in Jincheng.

Seeing the Liangzhou nobles coming one after another.

Even the Qiang and Hu tribes sided with Cao's army.

This further shook his inner confidence.

This time, Han Wenyou is no longer the one that the people of Liangzhou want.

On the contrary, in this windy and sandy land of Xiliang.

He became a stumbling block for the people of Liangzhou to return to the central government!

Han Sui, knowing that the situation was impossible, originally planned to surrender.

But the problem is that Cao Cao's requirements are too harsh.

As he gained support from more and more forces in Liangzhou.

The preferential treatment given to Han Sui was gradually reduced day by day.

General Pingxi is of no use now.

The only position left for him was Protector General of the Western Regions.

But with just a piece of document and a seal.

Naturally, he cannot be called the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

Cao Cao asked Han Sui to lead his troops to clear the roads along the Western Regions.

Recapture the former site of the Western Regions Protectorate.

His title as Protector General of the Western Regions was worthy of its title.

The most important site of the Western Regions Protectorate is in Qiancheng.

According to the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, in the third year of Yongyuan, the imperial court appointed Ban Chao as the Protector General of the Western Regions.

The city of Taqian where Ban Chao lived was the seat of the Protectorate of the Western Regions in the Later Han Dynasty.

And where is that location?
After leaving Dunhuang in the west, you not only have to cross endless yellow sand.

You also have to pass through the two cities of Loulan and Luntai.

Originally, it was not unacceptable for Cao Cao to ask him to go to Juyan.

After all, Guyan is located in the four counties of Hexi, which is still considered the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Not only is it at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, but it is also rich in water and grass.

To be fair, Han Sui really wanted to surrender
But west of Loulan and Luntai, is that a place where people can stay?

This is simply sending him to the desert!
Han Sui is now quite old.

Why was Ma Teng originally appointed as the Grand Marshal?

He enjoyed a high position and generous salary in Xudu.

But Han Wenyue is going to go to the Western Regions to eat sand?

He is not afraid of war, and playing with those small countries in the Western Regions is no problem at all.

Maybe that's why.

Cao Cao decided to let him be the Protector General of the Western Regions.

But the problem is that the place is so horrible!

This is a matter of risking one's life for the country.

Isn't that what young people should do?
What if he hasn't reached the Western Regions yet?

He fell in the desert and turned into a mummy!
Wouldn't that mean you'll end up as a wandering ghost?

And Han Sui's close confidants.

He was also named by Cao Cao to go to the Western Regions with Han Sui.

Those old guys who have been rebels for more than ten years.

When he heard this, he refused to go and die no matter what.

So after discussing it, everyone decided to sit back and wait for death.

It would be better to run away like that guy Ma Chao.

If you can't afford to offend, can you still afford to hide?

Could it be possible that Cao Cao could still stay in Liangzhou?
And Han Sui has a broad strategic space behind him.

Head west along the Yellow River upstream.

The entire Jincheng County is his base.

That was the foundation he had worked hard to build over the years.

Since you are no match for your opponent in a head-on confrontation, just avoid him.
