"Gongming has the style of a general..." Fei Qian nodded and said, suddenly thinking of something, he said, "Wenyou, you have been living in Longyou for a long time. How are the soldiers of the Xiliang tribes?"

Li Ru said: "The tribes in Xiliang seem to be powerful, but in fact they are not. Most of them focus on recruiting soldiers. Taking Han Wenyue as an example, they can be divided into three tribes, with a total of about four thousand, divided into Han, Chenggong and Yan.

In the hands of three people, there is also a rear army stationed in Jincheng, mostly refined, about a thousand people."

So Han Sui only had 5,000 men?

No, how could Han Sui have so few people?

Before Fei Qian could ask a question, Li Ru continued: "...the rest of the soldiers were all recruited... For example, Ma Shoucheng's wife is a Qiang girl. Naturally, most of her tribes follow the Ma family, and the same is true for Han Wenyue.

.The Qiang people, Hu Qi, graze on weekdays and recruit during wartime. Han Sui has a friendly relationship with the Gangjie Qiang and the Shaodang Qiang, and recruits more Qiang people from their tribes as soldiers. If all of them are used up, there will be more than 30,000 people..."

"Most of the tribes in Xiliang are like this. They usually have only a thousand people. If they recruit relevant Hu cavalry, they can number tens of thousands. If they join forces together, they can number up to a hundred thousand..." Li Ru said, "

However, Xiliang is suffering after all. If too many people and horses gather together, they will not be able to afford food and grass, so..."

Fei Qian nodded and understood.

Why did the Han Dynasty court use troops against Xiliang again and again, but never suppressed the Qiang rebellion? Even warlords like Han Sui were helpless. In addition to some of the reasons of the generals and officials themselves, this recruitment system actually also had some problems.

relationship, even if they defeated Han Sui and other Xiliang tribes, they did not give a heavy blow to the most important core part. It was like cutting off a part of it with an earthworm without damaging the most critical essential part.

The severed earthworms can still survive and come back next time.

"So..." Fei Qian looked ahead, in the direction of Qishan Mountain, and said thoughtfully, "If we hadn't defeated him in one fell swoop and killed his leader, this Xiliang..."

Sometimes life is so strange. In fact, the structural system of the Xiliang tribes, which was mainly composed of refined private soldiers and supplemented by raised barbarian regiments, was actually first used by Li Ru under Fatty Dong at that time.

But then it was also used by various tribes in Xiliang, but now unexpectedly it has become an obstacle to Fei Qian.

Li Ru smiled hoarsely, and did not say anything more about this system, but said: "...Han Wen agreed to choose Qishan to fight, and it was also the general's luck...Qishan's land, although the land is connected in all directions, is actually

Otherwise... if the general stays for a few days, it will be Han Wen's death date..."

"Really?" Fei Qian was a little confused about what kind of medicine Li Ru was selling in this gourd.

"Naturally." Li Ru said, "But at the moment, we need to be careful about Han Wen's appointment to attack the camp..."

Fei Qian looked up at the rain and said, "Wen You means, Han Wen is going to send troops in the rain?"

"We are stationed here. If Han Wenyue has other plans, we will definitely send troops to test..." Li Ru nodded and said, "There will be a battle within three days..."

At this moment, a group of scouts suddenly came running from outside the camp. They came to Fei Qian and took out two tattered leathers from his arms and said: "For the general information, my subordinates will follow the general's instructions and go over the mountain to the West Han River."
