On the way back, Han Sui kept thinking about what Ma Teng said to him before his death.

Open the door of your own home and invite the robber in?

If the gate of his home is the Longdi defense line, then Cao Ren and other Wei troops will be robbers?

Is this metaphor really appropriate?

But after thinking about it carefully, Han Sui felt that it was really the case.

Longdi was an important defense line to resist the attack of the Guanzhong army. He directly released the defense line, allowing Cao Ren to enter Liangzhou without any effort.

It was easy to let him in, but he came in smoothly. It seemed that it was not that simple to let him go.

Can the two counties of Beidi and Wudu satisfy Cao Ren's appetite? Will Cao Ren make more and more excessive demands?

Han Sui began to worry.

but……

Can I survive if I don’t invite the robber in?

Ma Shoucheng, what is the difference between you and a robber? Is there another way I can go?

If you want wealth, do I not want to live?

Any better choices I have?

Han Sui felt sad. He thought that he had been in a military life, but he could not get what he wanted. He had to compromise again and again, and lost a lot of things. He couldn't help but feel sad about it.

But at least, at least the position of the governor of Liangzhou was obtained.

Cao Ren personally admitted it and said that he would definitely be allowed by Guo Peng.

Even if you become Guo Peng's subordinate and even if you do not have a de facto independence, wouldn't it be a blessing as long as you can be the governor of Liangzhou?

At least he was the legitimate governor of Yizhou, and the legitimate governor appointed by the Emperor of Han!

That's enough.

Han Sui comforted himself in this way, and then headed southward toward Xiangwu County with Ma Teng's head.

When entering Xiangwu County, you need to cross a valley path to see Xiangwu County. Han Sui took his personal soldiers across the valley path and rushed towards the position of governor of Liangzhou that he dreamed of.

But for some reason, Han Sui always felt a little uncomfortable.

Kill Ma Teng, destroy his biggest enemy, and save his life and future.

It should have been a very beautiful situation, but why do you feel no joy and feel full of worry in your heart?

Riding on the horse, Han Sui thought about it, but couldn't figure out why he was unhappy.

What is it?

Han Sui couldn't figure it out, but it didn't matter. He didn't know where the crossbow arrows that rushed from helped him figure it out.

More than a dozen personal soldiers, including Han Sui, were shot into sieve by dense crossbow arrows that were flying from somewhere, and fell to the ground and twitched all over. The strength quickly passed away and the consciousness quickly passed away.

At the last moment of his life, Han Sui finally figured out why he was so worried.

Alert to wander on the brink of betrayal for a long time...

A wonderful sixth sense...

Unfortunately, it's too late.

Han Sui never expected that Cao Ren was so despicable that he could not wait to kill him.

Han Sui, together with his war horse, was shot into dozens of arrows and was shot into a sieve. He died in this nameless place without making any sound.

Cao Ren soon learned about the news that Han Sui was killed and the news that Han Sui was holding Ma Teng's head in his hand.

He went to see Han Sui's body and Ma Teng's head in person. After seeing it, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Miaocai, Yun Chang, this time, we have made great contributions."

Cao Ren said this to Xiahou Yuan and Guan Yu.

Xiahou Yuan and Guan Yu both laughed, feeling that this time, they could completely pacify Liangzhou.

Ma Teng died, Han Sui died, Ma Chao died, Pang De died, Yan Xing died, and Cheng Gongying died.

They were all finished, the leaders in Liangzhou were all finished, no one survived, and Wei Jun killed them all in a very bare manner.

Guo Peng didn't believe these people, and he didn't believe them at all. He had to destroy them from the beginning, and had no idea of ​​compromising with them to share profits.

The families of these people are also influential in Liangzhou, so they will be labeled as a rebel and will be wiped out together, and no one will survive.

More than 10,000,000 prisoners, nearly 20,000, have been arranged by Cao Ren to escort to Hanzhong and handed over to Zhang to arrange the maintenance of the Qinling Road. In the future, everyone will contribute their lives in the Qinling Mountains.

The rest is nothing.

After the war, the local people suffered heavy losses. Liangzhou did not have much population and suffered heavy losses due to repeated wars. This is a big problem.

But this is still a matter of later, and there are other problems right now.

Most of the Han tyrants and a small number of servants in Liangzhou's rebellion and rebellion were indeed wiped out. However, Liangzhou seemed to have been pacified, but in fact it was not.

Xiahou Yuan and Guan Yu did not know much about Liangzhou, but Cao Ren had a deep understanding of the situation in Liangzhou and the history of Liangzhou under Guo Peng's instruction.

He knew very well that it would be difficult to pacify the entire Liangzhou with his 30,000 people alone.

Including the 20,000 reinforcements brought by Cao Xiu, it is probably a bit reluctant.

In the future, Guo Peng may need to send reinforcements to continue to support the war.

Because the most troublesome thing in Liangzhou is not the Han tyrants and powerful forces like Ma Teng and Han Sui. The more westward, the fewer Han people, the more Western Qiang and Mihu people, they are the biggest problem in Liangzhou.

Since Emperor Xuan of Han attacked the Qiang people, the war between the Western Qiang and the Han government has never been quelled. Whether it is a means of restraint or military expedition, it is difficult to completely quell the Qiang rebellion.

Zhao Chongguo, a famous general of the Western Han Dynasty, once made great contributions to the quellation of the Qiang Rebellion, but that was only a temporary period.

The lack of understanding and disdain of the Western Qiang tribes such as the Han government has caused the Han government to repeatedly make progress and retreat on the Qiang riots.

Thinking of being detained, corrupt officials often oppress others, and ethnic policies are always unstable. Their men have reason and their mothers have reason, which eventually made the Qiang people lose all their trust in the Han central government.

Thinking of killing all of them, some people say that this is not humane enough. What kills too many people than the unknown country? What kills you and kills you will damage the national character.

The ambiguous policies eventually wiped out everyone's patience and directly triggered the Han-Qiang War that lasted for a hundred years in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty, a war that dragged down the Eastern Han government.

The Eastern Han government invested more than 30 billion yuan in military spending for the Han-Qiang War, but it only temporarily suppressed the outbreak of the Qiang Rebellion.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Han central government declined and collapsed, and Liangzhou fell into a situation of warlord autonomy. The Han tyrants and Qiang tribes colluded with each other, separating the local area, not obeying orders, and in fact becoming a local emperor, which made all forces in Liangzhou intertwined and the situation was chaotic.

It’s okay to lean on the east, but the more we go west, the more chaotic it becomes.

In the past decade when the central government had not ruled the entire Liangzhou, Liangzhou had basically become a hodgepodge of ethnic groups. The original grassroots rule was completely in chaos and ineffective, and local autonomy became a fact.

Guo Peng took this into consideration and proposed a plan to first seize the five eastern counties, and then advance westward after establishing and improving the rule of the five eastern counties.

This is not something that can be achieved overnight. It can be achieved overnight. Not to mention whether the troops can support it, food and grass are also a problem. The food and grass that Guo Peng hoarded in Guanzhong is not enough to support Cao Ren to fight all the way to Dunhuang.

And there are not completely no enemies along the way.

The main Han powerful armed forces represented by Ma Teng and Han Sui were wiped out, the Qiang tribe armed forces were still there, and the Mihu were still there, so it would be quite difficult to continue attacking.

Guo Peng didn't plan to play Huairou, what he wanted was the entire Liangzhou and the complete Hexi Corridor.

In the future, he would also restore China's rule over the Western Regions during the Han Dynasty and reopen the Silk Road, so the five eastern counties in Liangzhou were the logistics bases for this plan.

The military farming situation must be carried out, and the Longyou Ma Zheng must be put on the agenda and must build this newly acquired land into a base for progress with abundant food and supplies.

Moreover, for those Qiang people and Hu people from other tribes, Guo Peng did not hold back when he wiped out Han tyrants such as Ma Teng and Han Sui, and he also killed many Qiang and Hu people, so he naturally would not gain trust.

Many Han tyrants such as Ma Teng and Han Sui had the same attitude towards the Qiang people, which was to win over them. As rebel forces that also opposed the Han Central Committee, they were in similar situations with the Qiang people, so they could naturally unite.

Guo Peng is different. Guo Peng represents the central government.

The road to advance westward will inevitably be strongly resisted by these Qiang and Hu tribes.

If we want to occupy Liangzhou, there are still many things to do and some tough battles to fight.
