However, it was said that the Western Expeditionary Army was in the Western Capital City and rested for two days. Li Mu left more than 3,300 Han troops to Wang Ping and Feng Xi, so that they could defend Xiping County.

Wang Ping and Feng Xi were moved when they saw their own master entrusting them with important tasks! The two of them agreed to promise to make Xiping County solid and foolproof!

Li Mu, Deng Zhi, Zhang Liao, Dian Wei, Jiang Wei, Fu Yan, and Zhang Nan led 10,000 Han army elite cavalry, starting from the western capital and conquering Longxi County in the east!

The Han army traveled non-stop all the way, day and night. A day later, they came to Linqiang City.

That night, Li Mu received the good news from Zhao Yun from Jincheng County, and he was overjoyed.

Li Mu took Zhao Yun's good news to everyone and circulated it. After everyone saw it, they were also overjoyed!

Li Mu ordered Zhao Yun to reward the soldiers of the three armies of Jincheng County; Song Jian and Bian Zhang were executed in Ling Chi, and their heads were displayed to the public, and the heads of the two were sent.

Just after the next day, the Han army continued to march eastward, and after passing through the city of Poqiang, it began to march to the southeast, and the Han army marched for two hours and came to the boundary of Longxi County.

Li Mu ordered Zhang Liao and Jiang Wei to lead an army of 3,000 as the vanguard and rushed all the way to Longxi County!

……

Zhang Liao and Jiang Wei led the army all the way. About an hour later, I came to the west gate of Heguan City, Longxi County.

I saw that at this time, the gate of Heguan City was wide open. From a distance, I saw scattered people entering and leaving the city gate.

"Boyo, now that the army of Heguan City is empty, you and I will lead the army commander to drive in, but it can be decided with one drum!"

Zhang Liao looked at Jiang Wei and said loudly.

"Wen Yuan, if the Qiang soldiers see our army coming, pull up the drawbridge, and close the city gate, what if it's good!"

"It is better to order the soldiers to disguise themselves as civilians and blend into the city from the four gates of Heguan. Tonight, call the soldiers to open the west gate of Heguan City. When the time comes, if you lead the army to fight again, you will definitely be able to take Heguan City. ”

Jiang Wei groaned.

"Boyo's plan is very good, so act according to it!"

Zhang Liao thought less, stroked his palms and laughed.

Subsequently, Zhang Liao selected a hundred soldiers and asked them to pretend to be ordinary people and blend in through the four gates of Heguan City.

……

As soon as the time came, the west gate of Heguan City was opened! In an instant, Zhang Liao and Jiang Wei led the army into the city.

Zhang Liao was in the city, chasing and killing the scattered and fleeing Qiang soldiers, Jiang Wei led the army to climb the city wall and control the four gates of Heguan City!

In this battle, no one in the Han army was killed; beheaded more than 800 Qiang soldiers; all the family members of the captive Bian Zhang; More than 3,000 usable horses were seized, and the grain, grass and ordnance were not counted!

It turned out that a hundred Han soldiers were able to capture the west gate of Heguan City because Bian Zhang took away all the elite Qiang soldiers, leaving all the old and weak soldiers!

The next day, Zhang Liao came out of the list of Anmin and beheaded all the family members of Bian Zhang; He also beheaded the young and strong Qiang people in Heguan City and the children who were taller than the wheels!

The people of Heguan City were so frightened that they fell to the ground and begged for mercy, Zhang Liao persuaded him with good words, and the people left in doubt.

Zhang Liao only left 500 people to guard Heguan City, so he and Jiang Wei led 2,500 Han troops all the way east!

……

An hour later, the Han army came to the city of Caohan. At this time, the city gate of Caohan City was also wide open, and scattered people entered and exited the city gate.

The Han army concocted the same method and took the city of Caohan that night. In this battle, no one in the Han army was killed; captured all of Song Jian's family members and beheaded more than 1,000 Qiang soldiers; More than 6,000 usable horses were seized, and no money, food, or ordnance were counted.

The next day, Zhang Liao came out of the list to calm the people, beheaded all the family members of Song Jian, and executed all the young and strong Qiang people and children taller than the wheels!

The people of Caohan City bowed to the sky and swore to the sky that they were willing to swear allegiance to General Pingxi Zhonglang and Jincheng County Taishou Li Mu!

Zhang Liao and Jiang Wei divided their troops, and after taking Baishi and Daxia in one day, the two led their troops back to Caohan City and waited for the arrival of Li Mu's army.

……

Zhang Liao and Jiang Wei waited for a long time, and Li Mu's 7,000 Han troops came to Caohan City.

Zhang Liao and Jiang Wei invited Li Mu and his party into the mansion, and everyone sat down.

"Third brother, Boyo, it's really a noble and fast! Running hundreds of miles in three days, even fighting Lianke, the famous generals of the ancients, I'm afraid it's just that! ”

Li Mu looked around, stroked his palms and laughed.

Zhang Liao and Jiang Wei naturally made a polite concession.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now, one-third of the city in Longxi County has been owned by my Jincheng County. If you want to take the remaining counties of Longxi County, there are still ...... A quicker way? ”

Li Mu toasted a glass of wine to everyone, and then groaned.

"Don't worry, lord! There are two magic weapons right now...... In this Caohan City, it can help our soldiers to obtain the remaining counties of Longxi County without bloodshed! ”

Deng Zhi drank all the wine in his hand, and then smiled.

"What Bo Miao said, but the heads of Song Jian and Bian Zhang?"

Everyone was at a loss, and Li Mu groaned.

"The lord is wise! Now, Song Jian and Bian Zhang have been ambushed, and the Qiang soldiers of Heguan and Caohan have all been wiped out. ”

"And Han Sui and Wang Guo, with the rebels of Wudu and Longxi Counties, entered Hanyang County north."

"Right now, the entire Longxi County is empty of troops, and this is a gift from God to the lord."

Deng Zhi said loudly.

"Good! Tomorrow, you can take the heads of Song Jian and Bian Zhang, and spread them to the counties of Longxi County, if you dare to have those who do not surrender, you will lead the army to capture them! ”

Li Mu was overjoyed and said loudly.

Everyone nodded in goodness!

That night, Li Mu rewarded the soldiers of the three armies, and the Han army was naturally overjoyed.

The next day, his own herald took the heads of Song Jian and Bian Zhang to recruit the counties of Longxi County.

Within two days, the seven counties of Longxi County, Angu, Shouyang, Yanxian, Xiangwu, Didao, Lintao, and Didao all surrendered!

The county commander of the seven counties personally escorted the money, grain, and ordnance, and came to Caohan City to meet Li Mu, and bluntly swore allegiance to Li Mu!

Li Mu gave everyone a treat! The county magistrates of Longxi County are all in awe of Li Mu!

……

Li Mu saw that it was now the twentieth day of the lunar month, and besides, the Han army had been fighting for several months, and the soldiers were a little tired, so he decided to return to Ningcheng.

Li Mu left 4,000 Han troops to Zhang Liao and asked him to guard the line of Didao and Shouyang; Leave 3,000 Han troops to Dian Wei and Zhang Nan, and let them guard the first line of Yanxian, Xiangwu and Didao.

Li Mu also issued an order to order Zhang Liao, Dian Wei, and Zhang Nan to recruit a large number of troops in Longxi County. But the soldiers recruited must be Han Chinese, and they must be strong. Zhang Liao, Dian Wei, and Zhang Nan received their orders!

Li Mu, Deng Zhi, Jiang Wei, and Fu Yan led 4,000 Han troops to leave Caohan, and after Great Xia, they traveled non-stop all the way, day and night, and finally returned to Ningcheng on the second day.

The civil and military forces and people of Jincheng County, under the leadership of Zhao Yun, Xu Shu, Zhang Ji, and Fu Wei, went out of the city for ten miles to greet Li Mu and his party.

When everyone saw each other, it was natural to ask for warmth!

The people of Jincheng County were even more excited, and welcomed the triumphant army on the road. The people were not stingy, and stuffed the New Year's goods in their hands to the soldiers!

At first, the Han army did not dare to take the people's gifts, but Li Mu saw that the people were sincere, so he ordered the Han army to take only one gift per person!
