Chapter 175 Then the only solution is to use violence
In the end, Xu Miao still did not leave the city.
He knew very well that Ma Su was quite powerful, and that Zhao Yun and Axiu who accompanied him were also ruthless characters. Especially Zhao Yun, although he was old, he still had the ability to take the head of a general out of thousands of troops.
Once out of the city, these people suddenly broke out. Wouldn't his old bones have to be handed over to the city?
Xu Miao narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "Ma Su, I don't want to take advantage of others' danger today. You should leave quickly and lead the troops to fight another day!"
Seeing that his plan failed, Ma Su left Wuwei angrily and went to Xiping County and Jincheng County respectively.
Four days passed in a flash.
The results were not very promising.
The two guards, Guo Huai and Fei Yao, did not show their heads at all. As soon as Ma Su and the four of them approached the city, the archers on the city aimed at several of them and shot them indiscriminately on their faces.
No sense of ethics at all!
Everyone was shot and fled in panic. They stopped their horses on the west bank of the Yellow River. You looked at me and I looked at you, helpless.
Ma Su frowned and thought deeply.
Sure enough, this "Kin Xibu" B-level trial map is much more difficult than before, and there is nowhere to start.
Zhang Xiu scratched his head and thought for a while, then said: "General, why don't you go to the countryside and have a look?"
Zhao Yun sighed and took over the conversation: "I'm afraid the countryside is already empty of ten rooms and no one left!"
This statement is true.
After a large number of people moved to Nantou, there was almost no smoke from cooking fires and no roosters crowing for thousands of miles in Liangzhou.
Axiu nodded slightly and looked at Ma Su: "Husband... General, we are few and alone, why don't we go back and lead the troops to attack the three cities?"
If we can bring troops, of course it won't be a problem. Ma Su raised his head to the sky and waved his hand.
The key rule is that you are not allowed to bring so many people.
Everyone rode their horses and walked slowly, found an abandoned village, and spent the night in a vacant house.
Early the next morning, Ma Su voluntarily quit the trial map, realizing that it would not work to enter the map with these three people!
Shaodang Qiang, governor of Yongzhou.
【This experience is over.】
Ma Su stared at the light screen in front of him expressionlessly.
[Evaluation of this experience: No evaluation will be given.]
[You survived for 5 days in this experience, and your stability points are +500. Your current stability points are 73446 (73046-100+500). 】
[You didn’t realize anything in this simulation scenario.]
【……】
【Do you want to continue training? 】
"Not yet!" Ma Su shook his head.
I know nothing about the situation in Liangzhou, so rushing in like this will not help in clearing the customs.
Instead of doing this, it is better to first understand the various forces in Liangzhou and prescribe the right medicine.
During the following period, Ma Su became busy.
More than 20,000 Wei soldiers who had surrendered were gathered together and asked about the real situation in Liangzhou.
All other matters were handed over to Axiu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu and others. He only needed to spend time in the military camp every day to collect intelligence.
Soon, Ma Di learned all the information about Liangzhou from Dai Ling.
The current division of power in Liangzhou is as follows.
Leaving aside the three major Wei generals, there are two big families active in the three eastern counties, namely the Qu family, which spans Xiping County and Jincheng. The main characters are: Qu Yan, Qu Ying, Qu Sheng, Qu Guang, and Qu Yi.
wait.
Ma Su had heard about the Qu family. Even in the Western Jin Dynasty, the Qu family still had influential figures like Qu Yun active in the political arena.
Another wealthy family was the You family active in Wuwei County, that is, the family of You Chu, the prefect of Longxi.
The Book of Jin once said: "Qu and You, there are countless cattle and sheep. Open the red gate in the south, and look at the brothel in the north." The Qu family in Xiping and the You family in Wuwei have been powerful families for generations, and they have settled in Xizhou.
Unlike the You family, who completely succumbed to the Wei state and were willing to be minions, the Qu family were anti-Wei radicals.
This can be seen from the lives of several people with the surname Qu. Qu Sheng was the earliest reactionary member of the Qu family. As early as when Han Sui, Bian Zhang and others caused trouble in Liangzhou, he got involved.
In the second year of Zhongping (185), Qu Sheng took the opportunity to kill Liu Jun, the chief of Zuli, and separatized the local area, just like a county chief.
It is worth mentioning that there were dozens of warlords in Liangzhou at that time. Han Sui, Ma Teng, and Song Jian were just the three most powerful warlords among them. And because they had always had the intention of attacking Guanzhong, they were dismissed.
Well known to the world.
Other warlords such as Qu Sheng, because they were entrenched in the local area and did not cause harm to the Central Plains, very few people know about it.
After Qu Sheng came Qu Yi. Qu Yi was Han Fu's general at first, but later switched to Yuan Shao's camp. In the second year of Chuping (191), he defeated Gongsun Zan at the Battle of Jieqiao, which was his battle to become famous. Later, Qu Yi relied on his merits and changed his position.
He was arrogant and domineering and was killed by Yuan Shao.
In the 20th year of Jian'an (215), Han Sui, who had been in Liangzhou for 30 years, was defeated and suffered a backlash from his subordinates. Qu Yan, Jiang Shi and other generals from Xiping County or Jincheng County killed Han Sui and sent his head to Cao Cao.
, profess to be a minister.
In the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an (220 years), Cao Cao died. Qu Yan rebelled against Wei and claimed to be the Colonel Protecting Qiang. He, Huang Hua, Zhang Jin and others launched rebellions in their respective counties, which were put down by Wei general Su Ze.
In the second year of Huangchu (221), Qu Guang killed the prefect of Xiping County who rebelled against Wei and started a rebellion in Liangzhou. This rebellion was quickly put down by Zhang Ji, the governor of Liangzhou, with the help of "attacking the mind".
In the first year of Taihe (227), it was Qu Ying's turn. He killed the Wei official Linqiang Ling and the commander of the Western Capital, and dominated the three eastern counties of Liangzhou. At this time, Wei Guoping Qiang capable man Zhang Ji was already on the four sides.
He died 223 years ago, which was one of the reasons why Qu Ying dared to rebel against Wei. In the end, the rebels were suppressed by Hao Zhao and Lu Pan.
After that, the Qu family went dormant under the leadership of a new generation of leader Qu Yun.
For Ma Su, there is no doubt that the Qu family is the one he can win over and is also the key to defeating the three eastern counties of Liangzhou.
It is easy to deal with active anti-Wei elements like the Qu family, just use them for profit and show them affection.
However, after several consecutive defeats, the Qu family's existing troops only maintained a few thousand men, which was not enough to overthrow the troops of the three counties of Wei.
If you want to conquer Liangzhou, you need to find other main forces.
The main force is Youjia from Wuwei County.
But the You family currently supports the Wei faction, and You Chu himself controls Longxi County and 4,000 county soldiers. These soldiers and horses are allocated by the Wei State, and his family still has no less than 4,000 troops entrenched in Wuwei County.
To the northeast is the fertile area near the east bank of the Yellow River.
Originally there was little room for maneuver.
But when he heard that Dai Ling had a personal relationship with You Chu, Ma Di had an idea and took action.
It doesn't matter which side You Chu is on right now, what's important is that he belongs to a wealthy family.
In the era of the Three Kingdoms, all the children of aristocratic families always put their family interests first in their hearts.
Country? What is country?
The weight of the country in their hearts is very light, very light.
How much energy does the family have in this era?
Sun Quan was deeply touched by this. Throughout his life, Emperor Wu was unable to control the many intertwined aristocratic families in Jiangdong, and he could only provide slight checks and balances.
Even the State of Wei was eventually replaced by the Sima family, the representative of aristocratic families.
Therefore, it may be difficult to get You Chu to side with Shu Han, but it is still easy to convince him that the two sides will not help each other and just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.
Ma Su's plan was that as long as You Chu chose not to help the two sides, he would immediately start a counter-intentional plan to make Wei's monarchs and ministers suspicious of him and force him to side with the Shu Han.
Of course, with Sima Yi here, countermeasures may not necessarily succeed. Moreover, if not, it may backfire and push You Chu completely to Wei.
With this in mind, this countermeasure needs to be used with caution.
The best way is to get the handle on You Chu before carrying out the counterintuitive plan.
Having made up his mind, Ma Su chuckled and was about to call up the system and enter the "Jin Xiwu" instance when suddenly a messenger from Hanzhong Prefect and West County Guard Wu Yi arrived.
Ma Su had no choice but to hold back his excitement for the time being and read the letter.
Wu Yi said in the letter: [Since Ma Di ordered the people to move eastward, tens of thousands of people from Liangzhou have successively arrived in the three cities of Xixian, Xiabian and Weixian.
The resettlement work for more than 100,000 people will not be settled at all for a while, and difficulties will arise one after another.
He was so distressed.
Fortunately, after Zhuge Liang withdrew from Wuzhangyuan, he quickly rushed to the three cities and took over all affairs.
As soon as Zhuge Liang arrived in Weixian, the problem of resettlement of the people was quickly and effectively solved.】
Finally, Wu Yi complained in the letter: "You Chang's behavior is quite unkind. Yi, thank you and your family!"
After reading the handwriting, Ma Su burst out laughing.
In terms of official positions, Wu Yi's official position was still above him, and he was the fourth most powerful figure in the Shu Han Dynasty, but he was treated as a brick and moved around.
The resettlement issue for hundreds of thousands of people is thrown away at the drop of a hat. Who can bear it?
Xixiaweisan City has both water and land access and an excellent location. It is located in a transportation hub area and is surrounded by large areas of vacant houses and land. The main problem is that there are not enough houses and farmland.
There were originally only tens of thousands of people in the three places, but after Cao Cao moved them all, the vacant houses were only enough to accommodate 50,000 to 60,000 people.
But now there is an influx of 178,000 people all at once. Not only are there not enough vacant houses, but new ones need to be built, and there is not enough farmland.
Moreover, the cultivated land has been idle for eleven years and needs to be reclaimed.
How could Wu Yi do all these tedious things?
Ma Di was overjoyed when he thought of the honest man Wu Yi's sad face.
That is to say, Wu Yi has an honest nature, doesn't care about trivial matters, and is always ready to be called upon.
If it were Yang Yi or Wei Yan... they would give up their job at best, or come to the door with their swords to chop them down.
Fortunately, now Zhuge Liang has taken over, which means everything is fine.
When it comes to governing the country and appeasing people's livelihood, Zhuge Liang is not only the leader in this era, he is also the top prime minister in any era.
Obviously, Zhuge Liang is not unscrupulous in being able to reunite the Shu Han people who were almost torn apart by Liu Bei and restore them to their heyday.
If it were a person with slightly less ability, faced with the situation of "attack from five directions" and "the country is exhausted and the army is exhausted", he would immediately collapse.
It is obvious that Zhuge Liang is the soul and core leader of Shu Han in the post-Liu Bei era. The others are just a bunch of brainless tools and cannot be used for much purpose.
Jiang Wan, Fei Yi, Dong Yun and others are just mediocre people who are local and have limited room for growth. Without Zhuge Liang, the Shu Han would have no hope of becoming bigger and stronger.
Not to mention the Northern Expedition, it was difficult to support the Han Dynasty and protect ourselves.
Fortunately, I have him now.
There will be steamed buns, there will be milk, and everything will be fine...
It's just a pity that his internal affairs ability is not very good, and he has been defined as a general in charge of the army, and he also has the status of Yongzhou governor, so he is not suitable to fully succeed Zhuge Liang's work.
At most, he can take over most of the military power after Zhuge Liang's death, similar to Jiang Wei in the late Shu Han Dynasty.
Internally, he was controlled by eunuchs, and externally, he was controlled by powerful enemies.
Therefore, by accumulating enough military merit and reputation while Zhuge Liang is still alive, it is possible to avoid falling into Jiang Wei's situation.
After sending the messenger away, Ma Su summoned the system.
Continue to conquer the "Kin Xibu" copy.
【Do you want to spend 100 points to enter this instance? 】
"spend!"
【Do you want to spend 300 points to change the accompanying persons? 】
"replace!"
[Please enter the name of the person who needs to be replaced.]
"Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu, Dai Ling."
[Please select the accompanying personnel, one, the system default personnel; two, Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu, Dai Ling.]
"Choose two!"
[Dream experience, polar reversal...]
The screen switches quickly.
No one spoke this time.
Ma Su looked intently and saw that he was under the Wuwei City and thousands of arrows were shooting out from the city.
Boo hoo hoo hoo——
Dangdangdang——
After dodging a hail of arrows, the four of them rode away in tacit agreement without saying a word.
Ma Su knew that it was useless to talk nonsense to Xu Miao, and the key to conquering this dungeon was not on him.
Zhao Yun and others were too lazy to express their stance.
When traveling with Ma Su, they were used to being dominated.
The weather in Liangzhou got cold very early this year. It was still in late autumn, and the sun was high in the sky, and there were already bursts of cold air.
It can barely hold up during the day, but as soon as the sun goes down, the temperature drops rapidly. Living in an empty house at night, the cold air pours straight into the house, making people shiver from the cold.
Ma Su had already felt the bone-chilling cold last time, so he deliberately wore more clothes this time, otherwise he would have been jumping around in the cold.
Early the next morning.
Ma Su and four others embarked on the road to Xiping.
Xiping is northwest of Jincheng and due west of Wuwei County, about 200 miles away from both places. The three eastern counties of Liangzhou are all about the same area. The population is far less than that of the Central Plains, and the entire Liangzhou is only thirty or forty years old.
Thousands of people.
Nearly half of them escaped at once.
Nowadays it is even more sparsely populated.
However, although Liangzhou has a small population, its economic conditions are very developed. It is one of the three major horse-producing areas in the world. Just selling horses is enough to keep most people from worrying about food and clothing.
Xiping County governs four counties: Xiping, Linqiang, Anyi, and Changning.
The headquarters of the Qu family is located in Changning County to the east of Xiping County. Most people in the entire county have the surname Qu. The Changning County occupied by the Qu family is far more prosperous than Xiping County, the seat of Xiping County.
As soon as he entered Changning City, Ma Su had the illusion of returning to the central tribe of Shaodang Qiang.
It is very prosperous here, with people coming and going on the streets.
It can be clearly seen that almost all the people here stayed in their original places and did not blindly follow the trend and defect to the Shu Han.
It was already afternoon at this time, and the red sun was setting in the west, illuminating the entire county in a brilliant yellow color.
At a glance, it is all unique to the Hexi region.
Hexi Jiangnan, Sichuan Paradise.
Even in another time and space, when he saw the grand scenery of Hexi in a hot air balloon, Ma Di was immediately fascinated by the colorful scenery of Changning County and lost his mind for a moment.
Along the way, Ma Su saw many wonders of the city, including bearded merchants from the Western Regions leading camels, blond girls from the Western Regions with high noses, and Xianbei people selling goods and asking prices in broken Chinese.
There were also Han people setting up stalls and Di people leading their mules and horses and shouting.
They coexist in harmony and silently abide by the unspoken rules on the unsupervised streets.
The rules set by the Qu family.
This is really a powerful family that can be won over...
Ma Su thought.
I just don’t know if Qu Yun, the current leader of the Qu family, is easy to deal with.
If it's not easy to deal with...
Ma Su made eye contact with Zhao Yun. The latter nodded heavily and clenched the hilt of the sword with his big hand to express receipt.
Then the only option is to use force!
Thanks to: 20 monthly passes for smoking and living on the streets!
