These ten thousand di soldiers were still elite, but the momentum of the commander would inevitably weaken when he died.

In addition, the Di soldiers faced not only Xu Shu's 5,000 elite soldiers, but also the 50,000 elite soldiers of the Grand Sima and General Zhang Xiu.

Xu Shu is just a forward general.

When the Di soldiers heard this, most of them put down their weapons and asked to surrender on the spot. However, some generals led the troops and were worried that they would be killed, so they led a small number of their personal soldiers to scatter the mountain path next to them and fled in a hurry.

Xu Shu didn't care about them when he saw this.

Xu Shu immediately learned that the general he had killed was Dou Mao, the son of Di King Dou Wu, and he was overjoyed. After thinking for a while, Xu Shu ordered five thousand elite soldiers to be behind and thousands of surrendered soldiers to rush to the [Huanshan] village in this formation.

He also sent Dou Mao's body to the mountain village for leisure, forcing the Di nobles in the mountain village to surrender.

These nobles were full of energy as Dou Mao led his troops to resist Zhang Xiu. Now that Dou Mao has been killed, he is naturally unruly. After a dispute, most of the nobles went out of the village to surrender, and a few of the nobles also ran away.

After Xu Shu entered the mountain village, he immediately did three things. One was to send someone to gallop back and report on the battle situation in front of Zhang Xiu.

The second is to let two thousand elite soldiers stay and take care of the surrendered Di soldiers.

Third, he led three thousand elite troops to continue to move southward to Di tribe Chongcheng and Hechi City.

Just as Xu Shuma was advancing non-stop, the fleeing generals and nobles took a small path to return to Hechi and brought back the news.

For a time, there was a chaos in Hechi City. The nobles divided into two factions, the surrender faction and the city defending faction. However, this time, the east wall overwhelmed the west wall, and the surrender faction gained an absolute advantage.

The Di king Dou Wu cried in the mansion. After Dou Wen learned the news, he hurried to Dou Wu's mansion.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Brother, it's not the time to cry. Grand Sima and General Zhang Xiu's army are in the north. Now is the time to survive and die in our Dou family."

Dou Wen hurriedly came to Dou Wu and said, holding Dou Wu's body.

"I want to fight to the death with Zhang Xiu and avenge my son." Dou Wu opened his blood-red eyes and let out a ferocious roar.

Dou Wen was a little surprised that his elder brother, who had never had any opinion, would show such a look.

"Brother, you must not. If you fight to the death, once Zhang Xiu breaks through the city, he will at least order the slaughter of our Dou clan. Dou Mao has led the elite to the north, and there are only old and weak in the city, so they will definitely not be able to defend. Brother, think about it, besides Dou Mao, you have other sons."

Dou Wen quickly persuaded him, and then whispered: "Brother should know, [King of Yue Goujian]."

Dou Wu raised his head and looked at his brother, Dou Wen nodded with a heavy emphasis.

Not long after, Dou Wu and his younger brother Dou Wen announced their surrender to the Grand Sima and General Zhang Xiu, who was also the Han court.

The Dou Wu brothers and brothers were not vague, and immediately opened the city gate and waited for Xu Shu's arrival in front of the city gate.

Before evening, Xu Shu arrived at Hechi City.

"I've seen the Di King." Although Xu Shu came to victory and killed Dou Mao again, he did not dare to be too arrogant. Of course, he could not get close to the Di King. He just turned over and dismounted, bowed and looked calm.

Dou Wu was frightened when he saw this enemy who killed his son. However, he showed a little smile on his face and said, "I have met General Xu."

"General Xu was appointed as a general and was granted a title of marquis at a young age. He was so handsome. General Xu was at the peak of his life. Under the command of the Grand Sima, he would definitely be granted ten thousand households in the future."

Dou Wu even expressed his appreciation for Xu Shu and bowed.

Xu Shu's eyes flashed and he bowed and humbled. The two of them exchanged greetings at the gate of the city, and Dou Wu invited Xu Shu to the city for a banquet.

Xu Shu used "official affairs" as an excuse to not attend the banquet. Instead, he ordered three thousand elite soldiers to guard the city gates on all sides. And he himself was in the city gate tower in the north of the city.

The Di king Dou Wu invited him repeatedly, but Xu Shu just refused to go. Later, Dou Wu had no choice but to send some Di beauties to Xu Shu.

The night is getting darker.

Outside the city gate tower, Xu Shu looked up at the ten Di beauties in front of him, showing a thoughtful look. Soon after, he looked up and smiled at the person sent by Dou Wu and said, "Since it is the kindness of the Di king, I will accept it."

The man breathed a sigh of relief, bowed his hand to Xu Shu, and then went back happily to report his life.

"General, do you have to make a bed and fold a quilt?" A clever personal soldier looked at the ten watery girls and asked.

"No. Place these beauties forever." Xu Shu understood the meaning of the personal soldiers, but shook his head and said.

"Why is this?" The personal soldiers were shocked. This is the beauty given to you by the King of Di. If you don't enjoy it, what does it mean to place a good life?

Xu Shu just smiled at the personal soldiers and did not answer. The personal soldiers woke up and quickly went down to place the beautiful woman in sweat.

Xu Shu attacked Hechi and surrendered the Di king. Yan Xing did not disappoint everyone's expectations and attacked Yinping, and obtained the cities and land in the northernmost part of Yizhou.

Three days later, Zhang Xiu led Hua Xiong and other cavalry and infantry to reach Hechi City.

Xu Shu, Di King Dou Wu, and other important nobles of the Di tribe, came out to greet him. Immediately, Zhang Xiu led his personal troops into the city and chose a mansion to settle it.

In the hall, Zhang Xiugao sat in the main seat, Xun You, Ju Su, Fa Zheng, Cai Mao, Xu Shu and others sat on both sides, while Dian Wei stood outside the door with his sword, staring at him fiercely.

Dou Wen and Dou Wu brothers stood in the hall, and cold sweat broke out from their foreheads.

Zhang Xiu laughed and said, "You two don't have to be nervous. I am a kind and righteous person. You two open the city and surrender to the court, I will not do anything to you."

Speaking of this, Zhang Xiu paused and said with a smile: "Not only will I not harm you, I will also ask the court for the title of Marquis of Wudu and Marquis of Yinping, each with three thousand households."

Zhang Xiu has always been generous, and his words are true and sincere.

Dou Wu and Dou Wen were nervous, but they were immediately overjoyed when they heard this and thanked Zhang Xiu Rende.

Not long after, the two brothers left here together under the eye of Zhang Xiu's personal soldiers.

After thinking for a while, Xu Shu bowed to Zhang Xiu and said, "Ming Gong. I am a military general, and I shouldn't have said anything more."

"Yuan Zhi has something to say." Zhang Xiu glanced at the man and said readily.

"Dou Wu's face was not sad when his son was killed. I'm afraid there was a conspiracy in his heart. He repeatedly invited me to drink, but I didn't. Later, he sent me ten more beauties."

Xu Shu told Zhang Xiu one by one about the situation after entering the city.

But it turned out that Xu Shu didn't like the so-called beauty very much, but he was afraid that he would not accept the beauty's words, so he accepted it.

This is the plan of Anding Dou Wu, not Xu Shu is lustful.

Zhang Xiu looked pondering on his face when he heard this, and Fa Zheng said, "Ming Gong. General Xu is right. Dou Wu must have ulterior motives."

"Will the plan come out?" Zhang Xiu came to his senses and asked the Dharma with a smile.

"Kill Dou Wen and Dou Wu brothers. Then migrate all the Dou family and other Di nobles to Chang'an and take care of them."

Fa Zheng looked cold and was afraid that Zhang Xiu would not bear it, so he explained: "Ming Gong. The situation is now in danger. If Ma Teng and Han Sui sent troops to fight for Wudu, Yinping. Dou Wu and Dou Wu were in chaos in the county, they would be afraid that internal and external troubles would be gone. Do not be ruthless."

Zhang Xiu thought for a while, nodded, looked up at Cai Mao and said, "You go and prepare poisoned wine, kill Dou Wen and brothers Dou Wu. Tell them that I have lost my words. But I will protect their descendants from peace."

Cai Mao couldn't help but feel shocked when he saw Zhang Xiu's eyes.

This great sir is like the weather, all of a sudden. And he can calmly say the sentence "I've lost my words" and it's really...

"No." Then Cai Mao responded to the promise and hurried down. Soon after, Zhang Xiu's army was in Wudu, scattered all the Di nobles in Yinping, arrested all the Di nobles and forced them to live in Chang'an.

Because Zhang Xiu's 50,000 troops were stationed in the second county, the nobles swallowed their anger. Of course, many nobles also escaped into the mountains and forests and avoided them.

Zhang Xiu didn't care about this group of nobles.

As for Dou Wen and Dou Wu brothers, they claimed to be "sudden death".

At the same time, Zhang Xiu was not idle either. There are nearly ten cities in the Wudu and Yinping, and the household registration is 200,000 to 300,000 yuan.

Although most of these populations are scattered among the mountains, it is difficult to collect money and food.

However, in Wudu and Yinping, there are still a lot of food stored.

Zhang Xiu did not like to win Wudu and Yinping, but was happy to get these foods. His 50,000 army was far away from Lueyang, and the grain route had been blocked.

It can be said that he was alone and deeply involved. Without the food support here, it would be impossible to conquer Hanzhong.

After that, Zhang Xiu did some more things.

The first is to establish Yinping County.

Second, he selected two excellent people from the civil servants he followed, as county magistrates, responsible for mobilizing food and raising military supplies in the county.

The third is to appoint Yan Xing to lead 5,000 elite troops to guard Yinping County, Xu Shu to lead 5,000 elite troops to guard Wudu County, and Hua Xiong to lead 10,000 elite cavalry to defend between the two counties, harass Ma Teng and Han Sui.

In short, the two counties of Yinping and Wudu have become rear bases. They have to stop Ma Teng and Han Sui's army, and also provide military rations in the front.

Fourth, he left Ju Su to stay here, served as the general supervisor, commanded the army, and carried out military mobilizations.

After Zhang Xiu made a series of arrangements in the second county, he led 30,000 to 40,000 horse infantry troops, and sent 10,000 Di tribes to strengthen their momentum, claiming to be the "100,000 army."

The first pass to send troops to Hanzhong is Yangping Pass.

This Yangping Pass is located between two mountains and the terrain is dangerous. It is the western gateway of Hanzhong. As long as you attack Yangping Pass, the army can drive straight into the Hanzhong Plain.

As long as Zhang Xiu entered the Hanzhong Plain, half of the Hanzhong County would fall into Zhang Xiu's hands.

On the contrary, if Zhang Xiu cannot conquer Yangping Pass, he will inevitably advance and fall into a bad state.
