Liu Yan finally sent A Qinggu's troops to the battlefield. There were 15,000 defenders in Luo County, which was the limit that Liu Yan could mobilize at present, but he still could not stop Ye Zhao. If he dragged on, once the Luo County defenders were destroyed, it would be even more difficult to resist Ye Zhao with just one Chengdu. Zhang Lu's troops were delayed from the road, which made Liu Yan very angry.

The time was too short. He had just gained a foothold in Shu County, and Ye Zhao led his army to fight silently to Mianzhu Pass. Liu Yan realized that if he gave him a few more years, it would not take too much. It would only take two or three years to stabilize his power in Shu, and it would not allow Ye Zhao to fight to Mianzhu Pass so easily.

The battle in Luo County was no longer a matter of belonging to Guanghan County, but a competition for the lord of the entire Yizhou. Although Liu Yan was the governor of Yizhou, it is not now when Liu Hong was alive. Since Dong Zhuo established himself as the governor of Liangzhou, the system of the Han Dynasty had begun to collapse. Ye Zhao wiped him out and took over the governor of Yizhou. No one would have had an excessive reaction from Chang'an, Dong Zhuo and even the princes.

Because everyone wanted to do this, Ye Zhaoruo took over the governor of Yizhou himself, which was also an example for them. In the future, the princes of the Central Plains could also follow suit. After all, there were already Dong Zhuo and Ye Zhao, and if others wanted to be independent, there would not be too much resistance.

In this battle, no matter what, Ye Zhao could not defeat Luo County and fight to Chengdu. A Qinggu's Qingqiang warriors are the few trump cards left in Liu Yan's hands. Once these people were sent, it also means that Liu Yan has no other power to use. Chengdu only has more troops stationed with more schools, which can be said to be when Liu Yan's weakest strength.

Liu Yan still didn't know what the war in Luo County was, but he knew Pang Xi. With Pang Xi's dissatisfaction with Ye Zhao, Pang Xi would never ask for help if he had not forced him. This was a move to show weakness to Ye Zhao. You must know that since the news of Ye Zhao's entry into Shu came, Pang Xi had said more than once that Ye Zhao had said in front of the ministers in Shu that Ye Zhao's name was not worthy of his true meaning and that his false statement was not worthy of concern.

Now asking for help is like a slap in the face. As a famous scholar, Pang Xi doesn’t even want face. It can be imagined how far the war in Luo County has reached.

The 36 Qingqiang tribes have been gradually moved out of the mountains by Liu Yan, so the signs are very smooth. A Qinggu has drawn 6,000 warriors from the 36 Qinggu in the Qinggu to follow A Qinggu into the completion of the city. The capital is waiting for Liu Yan to dispatch, and Liu Yan is also regarded as the last trump card.

"This Qing Qiang people have lived in the mountains for generations and are very good at fighting in the mountains. When the emperor's uncle made friends with Qing Qiang, he got three thousand Qing Qiang soldiers. However, the wealthy families in Shu gathered tens of thousands of Shu troops, but they were defeated by these three thousand Qing Qiang soldiers. Wang Xian and Li Quan and more than ten wealthy families were killed by the emperor's uncle, which laid the foundation for the present." In Ye Zhao's military camp, a middle-aged man talked and helped Ye Zhao explain the situation of the Qing Qiang.

"In this way, this Qing Qiang is Liu Yan's last method?" Ye Zhao leaned on Hu's bed and smiled at the man.

"Not bad!" the middle-aged man nodded and said, "As long as he can break Luo County, he will be settled in Shu!"

Once Qing Qiang arrived, it means that all Liu Yan's troops were gathered here. Once Luo County was broken, there would be no soldiers available in Chengdu.

"Ji Ling!" Ye Zhao thought for a moment, then looked at Ji Ling and said.

"The last one is here!" Ji Ling stepped forward and bowed.

"Tomorrow, you go and call this Qingqiang." Ye Zhao thought to himself, "If it is true as you said, the Qingqiang tribes are all brave men, and they are reluctant to kill them. However, since the Qingqiang leader A Qinggu is friendly to Liu Yan, if he has the chance, he will kill him."

"Here!" Ji Ling nodded.

If you want to gain a foothold in Shu, in addition to the complex relationship between the scholars in Dongzhou, the ethnic minorities need to be dealt with, the issues of ethnic minorities are also issues that Ye Zhao must consider.

There are southern barbarians in the south, living among 100,000 mountains. Ye Zhao's hands are not that long. However, it is impossible to kill all the Qiang tribes in the surrounding area. It is a trivial matter to consume food and grass. What is important is that these Qiang tribes are more difficult to clear than bandits. They live in the mountains for generations, and they almost become instincts when fighting in the mountains. If there are too many people, they will fight guerrillas with you. If there are too few people, they may not be their opponents. Instead, they will cause hostility to these Qiang tribes and get entangled with you. From time to time, they will come out of the mountains to rob and rob. I am afraid that Ye Zhao will have to be tired of dealing with it.

It would be better to find a way to gradually naturalize these Qiang people. When he was in Macheng, Ye Zhao's idea had actually made some achievements. If he could give him more time, many people around him said that at least the area of ​​Danhan Mountain would return to the Han family and become a Han ranch. Unfortunately, Liu Yan later intervened and asked Liu Mao to take over his position as Macheng Order, but he was killed by He Lian, which made Ye Zhao work hard for two years to waste.

If you take down Shuzhong and wait until Shuzhong is stable, Ye Zhao will prepare to do this. Qing Qiang is a group of Qiang people who are close to the Han people in terms of lifestyle, and it is also Ye Zhao's primary goal. However, the current Qing Qiang leader is too close to Liu Yan, which is an unstable factor, and this makes Ye Zhao feel like he is murderous.

The next morning, Pang Xi was surprised to find that Ye Zhao did not attack the city or appeared. Instead, Yu Ji Ling and Guan Hai led their troops to the city to fight.

But he saw Ji Ling, who was wearing a helmet and armor, was wandering under the city with a three-pointed two-edged sword in his hand.

"Who is this?" A man next to Pang Xi was nine feet tall, wearing a coarse blue cloth, holding a mountain knife, and an iron tower-like man looked at Ji Ling, who was showing off his power under the city, and asked in broken Chinese words.

This person is A Qinggu, the leader of Qingqiang.

"It is Ji Ling, a general under Ye Zhao, who is quite brave... like a warrior in the Qingqiang tribe." Pang Xi explained.

"What is he talking about?" A Qinggu looked at Ji Ling in confusion and kept saying something under the city. Ji Ling was speaking in a Mandarin language with some Jianghuai accent. A Qinggu, who was speaking roughly Chinese, couldn't understand it, but he could hear it was very arrogant, which made him a little unhappy.

"Invite the battle!" Pang Xi sighed and said, "It's just a one-on-one competition. Unfortunately, there are no strong generals in our army, so we can't fight!"

Ji Ling had personally rushed up the city wall with a three-pointed and two-edged sword. He fought more than 20 people on the city wall. Finally, he retreated calmly when he withdrew his troops, which made Pang Xi remember clearly. There were no such powerful generals under Liu Yan's command.

Pang Xi just sighed and was not going to fight, but this angered Ah Qinggu. Qingqiang has existed since the Shang Dynasty. At that time, not to mention the Qiang people, even the Shang Dynasty selected monarchs. Brave and strength were very important plus points. The Qingqiang clan was also affected. In addition, most of the Qingqiang were distributed among the mountains and ridges, and often accompanied the beasts to select the leader. Brave and strength were also the most important. How could he hear this? He immediately took the mountain knife in his hand and walked down the city.

"Where is the leader of A Qingbone?" Pang Xi quickly wanted to hold him up when he saw this, but A Qingbone took him for a moment and almost fell down.

"Open the city gate, I'll fight him!" A Qinggu snorted coldly.

"This..." Pang Xi was a little hesitant when he heard this. Now the city really needs a victory to stimulate and encourage morale. If A Qinggu can win, it will be of great help to morale. He has also heard that the Qingqiang leader under Liu Yan was extremely brave. However, when he surrendered to Liu Yan, Liu Yan had already pacified Shu and had never seen it. He was afraid that A Qinggu would have made mistakes, so he quickly advised: "A Qinggu leader, this man is extremely brave and may not be his opponent."
