Only then did Pound react completely: "Is De Jong going to be released?"

"The prince already told me on the way here," Zhang Ji responded with a slight composure. "Whether Liangzhou is pacified or not, Hanyang is the most important place. He will change Hanyang to the old name of Tianshui, and let me do this."

The first Tianshui Prefect..."

"It's a good thing. It's going to happen after all." When Pang De heard this, he felt a rare emotion in his heart, but when it came to his mouth, he didn't know what to say, so he could only congratulate him reluctantly. "With De Rong's ability and

Under the care of the general, this important and important county is where you have a serious career as a civil servant. If you can help the princes and princes to stabilize their lives, in the future, when the world is stable, you will be able to serve as state pastor or military advisor, right?"

"I know the general's good intentions." Zhang Ji said with even more emotion. "For you and me, these are just experiences to show that after this chaos in the future, you may have to let the general go. But..." Yan

At this point, Zhang Derong forced a smile. "But when I come back, there will be no military advisor or Cao Yu left to talk about!"

Pound also smiled knowingly.

Just like that, it was getting late, Pang De was in a complicated mood, and he went to deal with Ma Chao and his son according to his master's request, not to mention Ma Chao and his son.

On the next day, General Wei Gongsun Xun actually changed Hanyang's old name to Tianshui, and appointed Zhang Ji, his trusted guard, as the prefect of Tianshui, still stationed in Hebei County. Then he abandoned Zhang Ji and picked up the entire army to continue westward, as if to

Go straight to Yuzhong.

Their advance was rapid, and by September 16th they had arrived at Yongshi County, where Ma Mengqi proposed a marriage proposal.

That's right, General Wei Gongsun Xun personally decided on the relationship. Ma Chao's righteousness was to persuade the bride, not to tie her up! It was not to destroy her! This filial son who understood righteousness came alone in order to prevent the dilemma of loyalty and filial piety from appearing.

He intercepted his father and urged him to go to Ji County and tie himself up to see General Wei.

General Ma Teng of Longxiang was also moved by his son's words and voluntarily surrendered... So in order to commend Ma Shoucheng for taking the initiative to surrender, and also to commend the father and son for their fatherly kindness and filial piety, Ma Teng was added as a county prince and led the army.

He was given the title of Jinwu, a house, and Amway shares. Ma Chao was also re-entered into the righteous school for further studies!

For a moment, everyone in Liangzhou looked sideways, wondering if they were admiring the deep affection and good luck of the father and son.

On the other side, after arriving at Warrior County, because Gongsun Yue and Zhang Sheng were still working hard to receive Ma Teng's old troops in Anding County to the north behind them, Gongsun Xun stopped here for a few days and started playing Cuju as usual.

The competition made Zhang Wenyuan very addicted.

By the way, with the gathering of wealthy families from various counties and counties in Liangzhou, General Wei not only opened the door to accept the loyal followers, but also made some interesting beauties.

For example, Ma Teng's only daughter who had just grown hair was pointed out by him to Zhao Yun, the unmarried Cavalry Commander. However, Zhao Yun had gone to Wudu as a partial division commander. Now he doesn't know where he is or what he is doing. Anyway, he can't contact her at the moment.

, so we have to wait a little longer to make a decision. Correspondingly, after hearing what Jiang Gan said, Jiang Ziyi, who performed well this time, was decided by Gongsun Xun to marry Wang Yi, a girl from the Wang family in Heyang who had just gotten hairpins.

This move made the Heyang Wang family, who had once surrendered this great traitor to the kingdom, almost shed tears of gratitude; and one of Yang Qiu's clan sisters was pointed out to Wang Ling, who had been embarrassed recently; finally, Gongsun Xun also expressed his gratitude to Wang Ling who had been embarrassed recently.

The outstanding Zhao Ang recommended the sister of Jia Kui, who was serving as the Changping Order. It was said that she was very good-looking...

After Gongsun Yue arrived with his troops, this kind of marriage with extremely obvious political overtones not only did not stop, but reached a climax, because Gongsun Yue had no shortage of daughters ready to marry...especially since he had recently added a new one.

If you have a biological daughter, then you want to marry off a bunch of daughters with different surnames from yourself as soon as possible.

Of course, General Zhenxi leads Bingzhou Mu, and the daughter of Gongsun Yue, the most important official in the clan, naturally has no worries about marrying him. Because everyone knows that General Wei got married and raised children relatively late, and now the eldest female son-in-law is

She hasn't even had a hairpin yet, and under such circumstances, Gongsun Yue's daughter, even if she is an adopted daughter, is naturally the most eye-catching marriage partner in the world.

As a result, the unmarried Zhang Ji directly settled on Zhen Dao, the three daughters of Zhen Dayin; the son of the famous martyr Zhao E, Dunhuang Pang Qiao, who had made great achievements this time, was accused of dating Zhen Rong, who had just gotten hairpins... Only unlike Zhang Ji,

This requires Pang Chuan to go to Yecheng and let Aunt Gongsun see it.

As for the two sisters above Zhendao, one Zhenjiang was promised to Sima Lang, who had already served as the captain of Qingzhou Tuntian; the other Zhentuo was engaged to Jia Kui in Yecheng.

Gongsun Xun behaved so violently and asked for marriage. These people did not put on any drama for him, "Who do I love and whom do I not love?", but it was pitiful that so many of his subordinates, the meritorious sons of Taiyuan and the talented people of the family, didn't want to ask for the Zhen family's daughter.

?This time, I can’t help but feel disappointed.

Of course, this is some kind of dirty political adjustment method by Gongsun Xun. The relationship between his subordinates in Bei Di and Yuan Cong is too close, and the several aristocratic families in Bingzhou always appear to be too smart and smooth, which makes it even more obvious that Yuan Cong in Youzhou is too smart.

Since the forces seem to be too strong, Yingzhou and Pingzhou also have the tendency to form a faction around the forces of Youzhou... This time, if Bingzhou, Yongzhou, and Liangzhou merge a little, they will not only be able to dominate the coming world

It effectively stabilized the situation in Liangzhou during the great changes, and also slightly affected the issue of internal faction balance.

In the future, once the Central Plains is settled, the war will continue to tear apart.

This kind of thing can't be called a personal worry, it's just an objective law. Only Gongsun Xun respects the objective law and can't help but guard against minor mistakes. Especially these days, regional grouping is too obvious and arrogant, so he can't help but guard against it.

In this way, by the time of September 23rd, after Gongsun Xun had finished arranging the marriage, a full 50,000 warriors had gathered in Yongshi County where he was located, and General Wei finally seemed to remember that he was here to fight... and

The people no longer hesitated and immediately marched towards Yuzhongjian City.

However, after the Yuzhong City came down, they found that the city gate was wide open. Ma Chao, who had been demoted to the team leader, led Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, and Ma Tie into the city. After making sure that there was no ambush, they discovered that Han Sui had

He had already sneaked away at night.

By the way, Jiuqu Huanghe knew very well... At this time and that time, he was able to withstand the Han army of 100,000 in Yuzhong. It was not because Han Sui could fight, nor how strong Yuzhong City was, but because

He said that at that time, the Han Dynasty had lost the hearts of the people in Liangzhou. He knew that the entire Liangzhou was behind him, and his actual strength was not much worse than that of Zhang Wen, Dong Zhuo, and Sun Jian who were opposite him at that time.

At this time, he was sitting in Yuzhong and saw the famous Qiang and Di tribes in Liangzhou one after another in the four counties of the East gathered there to participate in the selection of Baima Yicong.

Liao Yi has been accused of marriage again since then, but this further proves a thought deep in his heart - this time, not only is Han Wen Yue no longer popular with Liangzhou, on the contrary, the situation is also favorable, and this time he is

Instead, it became an obstacle for Liangzhou people's desire to return to the center!

Therefore, Han Sui was originally ready to surrender!

But there was nothing he could do. Gongsun Xun went too far. He stayed in Warrior County for several days. As his control over the Liangzhou wealthy families and tribes gradually deepened, the conditions for being sent to Yuzhong changed every two days!

Nowadays, Zangzhou Mu is gone. General Pingxi and the Protector of the Western Regions are still there, but he already needs to sweep back to the old place of the Protector of the Western Regions before he can have the city... The key to this matter is not the official seal, but the city.

where.

If the charioteer in the initial conditions (later Turpan, Hami, and Urumqi) is still under the Tianshan Mountains, with abundant water and grass, the key is that it is still close to the current border of Liangzhou, and may still belong to the so-called Zangzhou territory in the future.

The city of Tagang further to the west is two cities away from Cheshi... These two places have had many names since ancient times, but the most famous names of each are called Loulan and Luntai.

Speaking of conscience, Han Sui really wanted to surrender. Ma Teng surrendered, Gongsun Xun came to Yuzhong, and the heroes in Liangzhou rebelled. Why didn't he surrender?

But are the places further west of Loulan and Luntai where people go?

I think Han Sui is already old, and his son-in-law Pang De has gone from being a hostage to the White Horse Guards. He also wants to imitate Ma Teng and enjoy his old age in Yecheng... But why did Ma Teng meet such a son?

He can still hold the Jin and Wushu, he can still be a county magistrate, he can still live in a house, and he can still work in the stock market, but he is going to go to some Luntai to clean up the Western Region for Gongsun Xun?

He is not afraid of war, and playing with the small countries in the Western Regions is his specialty. It may be for this reason that he was recognized by Gongsun Xun as the Protector of the Western Regions. But the problem is that the distance is too far! What if he died there?

What should I do if I turn into a mummy in the desert? Shouldn’t it be the job of young people to make contributions?

It’s really acceptable even for non-driving drivers!

In the same way, those who were named by Gongsun Xun to go with Han Sui gathered in Jincheng in Yuzhong and Han Sui's confidants in the two counties of Longxi. The so-called veteran revolutionaries who had been rebels for more than ten years were not willing to go to Luntai.

, then everyone decided after discussion not to sit still and wait for death, but to change places to sit and wait for death.

What's the meaning?

It's very simple. There is still enough strategic depth behind Han Sui. Going west along the upper reaches of the Yellow River, the entire Jincheng County is Han Sui's most stable base camp and the foundation of his operations for many years.

However, he is planning to gradually move west, and he is not resisting step by step... He himself, and those long-standing rebel subordinates have already thought about it. Death is inevitable anyway. Those corpses in the glacier by the Wei River,

And the death of those former colleagues who had their brains smashed was too terrible. If they were caught, they would just accept their fate and go to Luntai.

But what if you can’t catch it?

If Jincheng cannot be defended, he can go to the West Sea (Qinghai Lake) to become a pirate, or go south to Longxi to see if he can cross Didao and go to Yinping to join Liu Yan... Chengdu is better than Luntai!

On the other hand, he did this without a little extra hope, because after all, Gongsun Xun had gathered 50,000 people at this time, and he had advanced to the heart of Liangzhou. The logistical pressure should be great. And the further back he went

Go, the longer the logistics line is, and Liangzhou is a huge test for logistics. Maybe Gongsun Xun finally agreed to let him go to Yecheng like Ma Teng in order to save food?

Even if Gongsun Xun's logistics line collapses, maybe he can still keep Jincheng, right?

With this idea in mind, Han Wenyue simply evacuated Yuzhong City.

In response to this, Gongsun Xun immediately came to his senses - he could not delay it any longer!

Therefore, after he entered Yuzhong, he directly ordered the entire army to rest for half a day, and tomorrow morning they would gather their cavalry, especially the local Xiliang cavalry, to immediately pursue westward, pursue around the city, and forcibly cross the Yellow River, Huangshui River, and Taoshui intersection to pursue the pursuit.

, in short, no matter what, we must catch Han Sui before he escapes, and kill him wherever he is caught... He is not required to be the Protector of the Western Regions and the General of the West!

However, on the early morning of the next day, Han Wenyue suddenly turned around and came back, directly leading more than 7,000 of his close friends to the west gate of Yuzhong City, where they knelt down and asked for surrender.

"How do you say that?" After a few years, Gongsun Xun, who climbed the city wall with a bowl of porridge, saw this 'old friend' of Liangzhou whom he had known for many years, but he couldn't help but be curious. "Han Pingxi was not right to delay the logistics strategy.

?"

"The general has figured it out!" In front of the entire Liangzhou wealthy family, Han Sui, who was far away from the entire army, threw down his equipment and removed his helmet, knelt alone in front of the city gate and kowtowed outside the west gate of Yuzhong on the bank of the Yellow River.

, raised his head again and faced the people on the city with tears streaming down his face. "The hometown of the Han family in the Western Regions, since General Wei is determined to unify the world and smooth the world, and I have received great kindness from General Wei, how dare I not fight for my lord?"

Where is this old life? Only seven thousand Liangzhou disciples are too many. Please, my lord, Xu Chen, eliminate one or two and only take three thousand disciples to the west!"

"Is three thousand soldiers enough?" They had already called the lord, but Gongsun Xun was still confused and filled with doubts... He really didn't know what this guy was playing at.

"Three thousand descendants of Liangzhou are enough to run rampant in the Western Regions and open up trade routes!" Han Wenyue pointed his finger to the sky and spoke with all his strength. "I would like to swear that when I go to the Western Regions, I will take only three thousand descendants out of Yumen Pass westward. I will not break the Luntai."

return!"

Gongsun Xun was still confused and didn't respond for a long time, until he was condescending and suddenly saw smoke and dust in the distance to the west under the gestures of Zhang Liao and Pang De, and then a group of cavalry unexpectedly appeared in front of Han Sui's troops.

behind.

But the first big flag was embroidered with four familiar characters - 'Qi Du Wei Zhao'!

Seeing this flag, Gongsun Xun couldn't help but raise his head and laugh.
To be continued...
