Suo Xu immediately told his plan, which was recognized by everyone, so Xu Shu, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Zhen and others were willing to be prisoners of Suo Xu. Suo Xu was not polite and asked the soldiers to tie up all these people.
After a while, he sent someone to inform Dowa and beg for a meeting.
The scouts galloped out first. Suo Xu and others were all dressed as soldiers of the Qin State, and the flag they carried was also the banner of the Qin State. Twenty thousand horsemen marched eastwards in a mighty manner, beating gongs and drums all the way, for fear of others.
Not knowing, he headed towards the foot of Lishan Mountain.
At this time, the Qiang people were causing chaos in Xinfeng County, burning, killing, looting, raping, and raping women. They did all kinds of evil, and the people were miserable.
Qiang King Duowa and the tribal leaders stood on a high slope, looking at the devastated Xinfeng County below. He was very happy to see everyone returning with their loads and their horses laden with belongings.
There is a big pit in the northeast corner of Xinfeng County. All the people who resisted in the city were killed. Men and women, old and young, were lying in a pool of blood. They were thrown into this big pit. What was even more terrifying was that these people were lying in a pool of blood.
They were all headless corpses whose heads had been chopped off by the Qiang people and tied to horses to show off their achievements.
There are also many women whose corpses are even more horrific. They are naked and lying on their backs with their thighs spread apart. Some have had their genitals cut, some have their bellies cut open, and some have arrows stuck in their lower bodies. As you can imagine,
The people who killed them were so cruel.
Duowa turned the horse's head with a smile on his face, looked at the hundreds of Qushuai from various tribes behind him, pointed behind him, and asked: "In the past, our Xiqiang warriors rebelled against the Han many times, but have we ever had such a glorious time?
Not to mention the far ones, let’s talk about the nearby ones. Beigong Boyu also once tempted us Qiang people to join them in causing rebellion, but in the end they were still put down. Only
Only I, the great King of Xiqiang and the son of the Sun God, can lead everyone here to burn, kill and loot. The Han people have bullied us for so long and pushed us to the sidelines. It is time for us Xiqiang to rise in the future.
.As long as you keep following me, I guarantee that one day I will aspire to the throne of the Central Plains and I will become the emperor, and I will make you kings!"
"Long live! Long live! Long live!" All the Qiang people cheered loudly.
At this time, a cavalryman ran over with a Qin army scout. After seeing Duowa, the cavalryman whispered a few words. After hearing this, Duowa's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked the Qin army scout: "Your family
Does the general really want to submit to me?"
The scout nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty. My general came from Hanzhong, fought back all the way, and defeated Cao Cao and others first. However, Cao Cao and others ran too fast and failed to capture them. Both my general and the Qiang people had
We are officials in the same dynasty and are ministers of the same palace. Moreover, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was here in the past, we were so harmonious. The reason for such conflict is just that Cao Cao and others were in the middle.
Now my general has learned that His Majesty the Emperor has been killed and the whereabouts of the Prince are unknown. However, the power of the Qin State is still there, so he is willing to put the king in charge and ask the King to proclaim himself emperor and take over the great cause of the Qin State. On the way here, my general captured him again.
Xu Shu, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and others are planning to use their heads to sacrifice to heaven. In addition to my general, General Zhang Xiu also has the same intention."
Duo Wa was extremely happy. Suo Xu, the leader of Ma Chao's four generals and capable of both literary and military skills, actually wanted to submit to him and make himself the emperor. What an honor it was. Moreover, Zhang Xiu, who was also one of the four generals, also
To support himself, in this case, he can proclaim himself emperor in Guanzhong, become the emperor of the Han people, and trample the Han people under his feet. Then does he still need to rob these properties?
"Great, where is your general now?" Dova asked excitedly.
"We are currently stationed at the foot of Mount Li, not far from here, and have set up camp. We have also brought fine wine from Chang'an to prepare a banquet for the king and to hold a swearing-in ceremony with the king. I have been specially sent to invite the king and all of you.
Shuai went to the carnival with all the tribesmen."
Duwa was stunned by the victory. He knew that Suo Xu had few soldiers, and there were 100,000 soldiers around him, and there were more than 100,000 soldiers in Chang'an. With so many people, Suo Xu did not dare to play any tricks, so he immediately ordered: "
Pass the order, the whole army will move to Lishan Mountain, everyone will party at the foot of Lishan Mountain tonight, tomorrow I will be proclaimed emperor, you are all my founding heroes, hahahaha..."
So, the Qiang people passed on the order of Qiang King Duowa, and one hundred thousand Qiang people began to gather together, and everyone returned home with their loads. They followed Duowa in the front and headed towards Lishan. Behind them, they escorted the captive Han people in groups.
Heading towards Lishan Mountain.
At the foot of Mount Li, Suo Xu has set up a large camp that can accommodate more than 100,000 people. He has stationed his soldiers at the four corners. He and hundreds of his followers have prepared fine wine and are waiting at the entrance of the military camp.
Quietly waiting for the arrival of Qiang King Duwa.
In the evening, Duowa brought a hundred thousand people and tens of thousands of captives to the Lishan camp, and saw Suo Xu personally greeting him. There were lights and colorful lights all around, and gongs and drums were loud. For a moment, he was overjoyed by Suo Xu's reception.
.
As soon as Duowa arrived in front of the gate of the military camp, Suoxu held a bowl of wine in his hand, led all his men to kneel on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Welcome to the king."
Duwa was very happy by this atmosphere, as if he had really become an emperor. He imitated the majesty of Ma Teng in the past and said: "Pingshen!"
After Suo Xu stood up, he walked straight to Duo Wa, held up the bowl of wine and said to Duo Wa: "Your Majesty, please drink this cup to the full."
Dowa drank it immediately without thinking, then threw the bowl on the ground and shouted happily: "General Suo, we meet again, but this time it's difficult for General Suo. From now on, he has to give it to me every day."
Kneel down."
Suo Xu smiled and said: "This is what a general should do. Your Majesty, please enter the camp. It's getting late tonight. Let's spend the night here. I have already prepared enough wine, enough for more than 100,000 people to drink."
, let’s all have a good drink, and when we sober up tomorrow, we will go to Chang’an, and then according to the enthronement ceremony, let the king ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor to stabilize the overall situation.”
Duo Wa said: "Very good, you arranged it very well."
As a result, one hundred thousand Qiang people entered the camp one after another, and all the prisoners were held in one place. Suo Xu was already ready for the soldiers to start distributing drinks and let them drink as much as they liked.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, Duowa sat at the top position. After taking a sip of wine, he heard Suo Xu say: "Your Majesty, I have captured Xu Shu, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and others. I heard that they have been killed."
Shaoqiang people, why not bring them here, everything will be done according to the king's orders!"
Duo Wa said: "Okay, bring them up!"
After a while, Xu Shu, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan were all tied up and led up. When the four of them saw Suo Xu, they all cursed. Suo Xu exchanged curses with them, and all the Qiang people present laughed.
"Okay, stop arguing. Anyway, you don't have long to live. Tomorrow I will ascend the throne and proclaim myself emperor. I will let you live one more night and let you see me become emperor tomorrow. Then I will use your
Sacrificing human heads to heaven." Duo Wa said.
After Suo Xu heard this, he ordered Xu Shu, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan to be detained, and then he started to drink wine to toast Duowa.
After Duo Wa drank another large glass, he said suo xu: "Your Majesty drinks slowly again. I will lead the troops to patrol outside. I am worried that the Chinese army will take advantage of this opportunity and sneak in. I have to protect your Majesty."
Dowa nodded and approved.
After Suo Xu left the big tent, Duo Wa was worried and sent people to follow Suo Xu. As a result, the people sent out came back and reported that Suo Xu was indeed patrolling the military camp again and again, and there was nothing suspicious. Only then did Du Wa
It makes people drink happily with peace of mind, and they have no doubt about Suoxu.
One hundred thousand Qiang people drank together, set up bonfires in the camp, ate meat, drank wine, and drank as much as they drank blood.
After drinking until midnight, one hundred thousand Qiang people were all drunk and unconscious.
Suo Xu had prepared everything a long time ago, mobilized his soldiers, released Xu Shu, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan, and asked Cao Zhen to let go of the captured people. Twenty thousand soldiers entered the camp and took all valuable belongings, horses,
After moving all the weapons out, they worked for more than two hours before the entire camp was emptied, leaving only the 100,000 drunken Qiang people.
Finally, 20,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of freed Han people formed a circle around the camp. Everyone held a torch and lit the camp.
Fires broke out everywhere and immediately formed a large fire. In addition, there were many flammable items on the ground in the camp, so that the fire spread directly to the entire military camp, and it became a sea of fire.
The Qiang people were still unconscious. When they sensed the danger, it was already too late. Suddenly, flames shot into the sky at the foot of Lishan Mountain, and the painful groans could be heard endlessly. One hundred thousand Qiang people were surrounded by a sea of fire, and many of them were
I wanted to rush out, but I was blocked and couldn't go back.
The raging fire burned the bodies of hundreds of thousands of Qiang people. Although it seemed cruel, everyone felt very relieved after seeing it. Such a way of death was really too easy for them.
By daybreak, the fire had gradually extinguished, but the whole air was filled with the smell of burnt paste. One hundred thousand burnt corpses lay scattered on the scorched earth, which made people feel relieved.
One hundred thousand Hu Chen was burned to nothing. Suo Xu's actions saved Guanzhong from the imminent disaster. At least his appearance prevented the Qiang people from continuing to burn, kill and loot. However, Guanzhong has already suffered these hardships. In the future,
Recovery is bound to be relatively difficult.
Without the help of the Qiang people, Tongguan could no longer be recaptured. Suo Xu led his troops back to Chang'an and took the initiative to hand over the command of the army he brought. When he saw the dilapidated Chang'an City with his own eyes, he felt very sad.
.
At this time, Cao Cao had been treated by doctors, and the stone inserted in his chrysanthemum was pulled out, but he could not sit down and could only lie there.
After Cao Cao heard about Suo Xu's plan to burn 100,000 Qiang people, he was particularly impressed by Suo Xu. He asked Suo Xu to return to Hanzhong temporarily and continue to guard Hanzhong. He also used the soldiers brought by Suo Xu and handed them over to Cao Ren.
Lead troops to Huayin and build checkpoints there to prevent the Huaxia Kingdom from attacking.
The next day, with the support of everyone, Cao Cao officially proclaimed himself emperor, changed the country's name to Wei, and the reign name Jian'an. However, after proclaiming himself emperor, Cao Cao was very weak. Due to the Chang'an Rebellion in Guanzhong, the Qiang people caused trouble, causing Guanzhong to
We are exhausted, with ten houses and nine empty houses, and the entire country's army is less than 50,000. Fortunately, the road to Guanzhong is difficult. As long as we stick to the pass, even if thousands of troops come to attack, we will not be moved.
After the disaster caused by the Qiang people, Cao Cao re-examined the Qiang nation. Cao Cao only said that the hundreds of thousands of people who were burned were harmed by the Huaxia Kingdom. He also changed the previous Hu-Han policy and appointed Cheng Yu as the governor of Liangzhou.
Set up a banner to recruit troops in Liangzhou and recruit all the people in Liangzhou
Men between fifteen and fifty years old enlisted in the army, and Xia Houyuan was sent to garrison in Wudu. He used Zhang Xiu's meager loyalty among the Qiang people to first appease the Qiang people, and then asked Xu Shu to rush to the middle Qiang with gold, silver and jewelry.
The various tribes that participated in the horse-killing officially appeased the dissatisfaction of the Qiang people.
On the other hand, Cao Cao used Man Chong as an envoy to occupy Jinghan, and took the initiative to contact Liu Bei, forming a mutually exclusive relationship.
……………………
Tongguan.
After Gao Fei returned from Qin, he had been stationed in Tongguan. For several days, he had not made any move. He had been watching the changes and waiting for opportunities.
When he learned that Suo Xu and Zhang Xiu had all surrendered to Cao Cao, he knew that he had lost the opportunity to seize Guanzhong. It was not that he was unwilling to move, but that he could not move. When hundreds of thousands of Qiang people were in chaos, the area east of Xinfeng County
After hearing this, the people in Guanzhong all dragged their families and families to migrate eastward, so that refugees filled the entire road to the west, and Gao Fei had no chance to send troops.
So, he had no choice but to open the city gate of Tongguan and let the refugees enter the pass, and then go all the way from Tongguan to live in Hongnong, Luoyang and other places. Later, when he learned that Cao Ren was leading his troops to station in Huayin County and started to build the pass, Gao Fei had already
I know that Guanzhong cannot be plotted now.
Fortunately, seven out of ten people in Guanzhong have flowed into the Huaxia Kingdom. The turbulent Guanzhong will inevitably become a barren land in the future. Without the people, the fields will be barren. Instead of attacking Guanzhong with the loss of troops, it is better to waste national power with them.
When the Huaxia Kingdom's national strength grows, it can launch a national unification war, swallow up mountains and rivers like a tiger, and unify the entire divided China in one fell swoop.
Gao Fei stayed in Tongguan for half a month. After half a month, the refugees were immediately properly arranged, and then he took Ma Chao, Sima Yi, Zhu Gongdao, Zhu Gingping, Liu Yu and others back to Jicheng.
Tongguan was naturally guarded by Xu Huang, with Zhou Cang and Gao Lin as deputy generals. Zhao Yun led his troops back to Luoyang, and Hongnong was still handed over to Liao Hua.
During the journey to the west for more than a month, he experienced so many things. Sima Yi, who accompanied him, was deeply touched. He saw the suffering of the people and the cruelty of the war, which also made him realize that there will be no happiness unless the division ends.
A month later, Gao Fei returned to Jicheng, made Ma Chao a Marquis of Yi, gave Ma Chao the empty post of General Long Xiang, and asked him to stay in Jicheng on standby.
