Seeing that the leaders agreed, Liu Chan showed a satisfied smile on his face.

The forces of these Qiang leaders were distributed in the area of the Yellow River and Qinghai Lake, and the land they occupied together was worth three counties, and the total population under their rule was as high as three or four hundred thousand.

At that time, as soon as the policy is implemented, half of the Qiang people will enter Liangzhou to farm and enrich the population of Liangzhou, and half of the Qiang people will stay on the grassland for grazing.

At that time, as soon as the concrete city is built, the ranch will be divided and the officials will be sent to manage it in a unified manner, and after a long time, the border of Jincheng and Longxi will be stable, and the cities will be built on the grassland, as if a nail is pierced into the Qiang people, and the Qiang people are powerless to rebel.

At that time, it is only necessary to send a capable official to guard Liangzhou and adopt a policy of Huairou to treat the Qiang people, and it will soon be stabilized.

The horses produced in each pasture can be used to form cavalry, cattle can be used for farming, sheep can be used for food, and the food of soldiers can be improved.

However, at present, Liangzhou is undecided, and Liu Chan is just saying hello to the leaders of the Qiang people, and the specific things will have to wait until Liangzhou is calmed down.

Three days later, Liu Chan's army was rested, and Liu Chan left Ma Chao to lead 10,000 foot soldiers to guard Di Dao and Guguan, and deter the Qiang people, so he led 20,000 cavalry to Jincheng.

The Jincheng County Administration is located in Yuzhong, very close to Guguan, and 20,000 cavalry can only arrive in a day.

When the army arrived at the city of Jincheng, Zhang Fei rode out, pointed at the head of the city with a snake spear in his hand and shouted: "Well, the guards in the city listen to me, I am the Yan man Zhang Yide is also, and now my Emperor of the Han Dynasty is personally recruited, and the soldiers are coming to the city, why don't you quickly open the city and surrender?" ”

The guard hurriedly responded: "The general is angry, and the city will be opened in the next place!" ”

However, after a while, the gate of Yuzhong City was opened, and the guards led the Chinese warriors of the city out of the city, holding the roster of seals, and it seemed that they had long been ready to surrender.

Now Xiahou said that the main army has been wiped out, Jincheng County and Liangzhou, there are no soldiers and horses available, and Liu Chan came too fast, even if the defenders wanted to gather troops to defend the city, it was too late, so they could only surrender.

Seeing that the guards surrendered without resistance, Liu Chan was a little surprised, Xu Miao had fled back to Liangzhou, and it was reasonable that he would gather troops and horses to defend.

Liu Chan tested the loyalty of the guards, above sixty, it was not a fraudulent surrender that put his mind at ease, so that the soldiers and horses entered the city first to occupy the city, and then attacked the city under the protection of the generals.

Liu Chan took the soldier's book from the hand of the Yuzhong guard next to him.

After a few glances, Liu Chan frowned, Liangzhou in the Eastern Han Dynasty fought with the Qiang people for more than 100 years, and Liangzhou in the late Han Dynasty was even more chaotic, with a large loss of population, and now the population of the entire Liangzhou is only more than 200,000 and less than 300,000.

These populations are mainly concentrated in Jincheng, Xiping, Wuwei and other places, while in Dunhuang, Jiuquan and other places in the west, a county has a population of only 20,000 or 30,000.

It is no wonder that after the Jin Kingdom, it will lead to the chaos of Wuhu, and now the population of Liangzhou is much lower than that of the Qiang people, and An Neng is undefeated?

Liu Chan threw the roster to the guards and asked, "Didn't Xu Miao escape back?" ”

The guard replied: "Assassin Shi came back three days ago, and when he returns, he is going to gather the townsmen to defend the city, but we don't want to fight, so ...... So ......"

It turned out that Xu Miao had returned, and it was the guards in the city who learned that Xiahou was defeated and did not dare to fight again, so Xu Miao was controlled.

"Xu Miao, where is he now?"

The guard knelt on the ground when he heard this: "Xu Tingshi He was locked up in his own mansion by us, Your Majesty, Xu Tingshi he loves the people like a son, he has done a lot of good things for the people of Liangzhou in the past two years, although he is Wei Chen, but he has contributed to the people, please spare his life." ”

"Please spare Your Majesty's life." A group of Liangzhou officials also knelt on the ground and begged Liu Chan to forgive Xu Miao.

Liu Chan waved his hand and said, "I won't kill him, take me to see him!" ”

"Your Majesty, please!"

However, after a long time, the guard led Liu Chan to a palace in the city.

This is Xu Miao's residence.

Fu Miao's residence has been controlled, and Liu Chan entered the mansion under the leadership of the guard, and directly entered Xu Miao's study.

At this moment, Xu Miao was painting in the room, and he was busy splashing ink, as if he didn't notice the arrival of Liu Chan and the others.

Liu Chan asked everyone to stay outside the door, entered the room, and slowly walked to Xu Miao's side.

There was a piece of rice paper on the table, and Xu Miao was splashing ink, drawing a picture of the nine heavens of dragon roaring.

The dragon opened its teeth and danced its claws, soaring for nine days, lifelike, as if alive.

Xu Miao grew up in Danqing, and his paintings can reach the point of being fake, although Liu Chan is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but his conscious painting skills are far inferior to Xu Miao's.

The painting is almost finished, but there are only two dragon's eyes missing.

Xu Miao was about to put the finishing touch to the dragon, when the tip of the pen in his hand suddenly paused, and a drop of ink fell on the dragon's eye, and a painting was ruined.

Liu Chan couldn't help but feel a little regretful: "It's a pity! ”

"Humph!" Xu Miao snorted coldly, threw the brush in his hand on the painting, and said coldly: "This painting was destroyed by you!" ”

Liu Chan smiled faintly: "When a fake dragon encounters a real dragon, he naturally doesn't dare to show his form, and it does have something to do with me." ”

When Xu Miao heard this, his face turned pale, but he didn't say anything, just strode out of the room, looking like he was going to the execution ground.

However, the general at the door did not have Liu Chan's instructions, but he did nothing.

"Don't get me wrong, sir, I'm not here to capture him." Liu Chan said to Xu Miao's back: "Mr. was a celebrity at that time, he must have hidden tea, can you please have a cup of tea?" ”

When Xu Miao heard this, he shouted outside the door: "Come on, serve tea!" ”

Immediately, Xu Miao walked to the room, came to the seat and sat down, Liu Chan smiled faintly and sat opposite Xu Miao.

Xu Miao looked at Liu Chan and said suspiciously, "Aren't you here to kill me?" ”

Liu Chan shook his head and smiled: "Mr. is a hero in the world, how can I be willing to kill Mr." ”

Xu Miao raised his eyebrows: "Oh? So you're here to recruit me? ”

Liu Chan muttered: "Yongliang has been in turmoil several times, the population is not one out of ten, the predecessor of Liangzhou assassin Shi Zhang Ji, descended to Su Heng, neighbors Dai Zhong, repaired fortifications, appeased the people, Xuxi Pinglu Guang, quelled the Zhuhu rebellion, but unfortunately died of illness at the beginning of the year.

Since he served as the assassin of Liangzhou, he built water conservancy, opened paddy fields, and raised rent from the poor, resulting in an overflow of warehouses. At the same time, we should change customs and rectify the rule of officials. Treat all Hu Qiang Rong and give it a chance to pay tribute.

Now that Xiahou said that it has been destroyed, Liangzhou can be decided, but it is in ruins, Mr. can be outstanding, I still want to appoint Mr. as the assassin of Liangzhou, I don't know what Mr. wants? ”

"Aren't you afraid that I will pretend to surrender and then collude with Wei?"

Liu Chan shook his head and said: "Don't be suspicious, don't be suspicious, Mr. is a righteous gentleman, if you promise me, you will definitely not do it, if you don't want to surrender, you won't agree to me." ”
