The spring of the fifth year of Yanxing came very early, when the spring breeze blew the green jade gate, the envoys of Wusun came to visit, of course, they could not come empty-handed, in addition to the letter of surrender submitted by the lord of Wusun, horses, gems, and beauties are naturally indispensable, of course, the most interesting thing for Liu Yin is three small boxes made of rosewood.

Inside the box, there are three human heads, needless to say, it is also the Xianbei people's bald tree function, bald black pills and Dunhuang Taishou Ma Xun's head.

The Wusun envoy was respectful, and on behalf of the lord of Wusun, Kun Mo Cuomi, he paid supreme respect to Liu Yin, the general of the Shu Han hussars, and at the same time expressed the wish of the Wusun State to be reconciled with the Shu Han forever.

Liu Yin immediately rewarded the envoy, replied to the Wusun lord Kun Mo wrongly, and accepted the request of the Wusun State to be repaired on behalf of the Emperor of Shu Han, and the Wusun envoy thanked him.

The generals couldn't help but be amazed, they had been stationed at Yumen Pass for several months, and all the generals were worried, only afraid that the bald tree function had taken root in the Western Regions, and it would be a big disaster in the future. Yao Yikang and others even asked for war several times and wanted to send troops to the Western Regions, but Liu Yin did not allow it, so they gave up. At this time, the envoy of Wusun presented the heads of the bald tree function and the other three people, and all the generals were impressed, and they all called Liu Yin wise.

Liu Yin said with a smile: "This is Mr. Ai's strategy, if our army goes on an expedition and spends soldiers, horses, money and food, I am afraid it will be difficult to have results, Mr. Ai strongly persuaded me to postpone the attack, the bald tree function and the Wusun people will be compatible, and in the end, it is not as expected by Mr. Ai." ”

All the generals will bow down.

Liu Yin handed over the bald tree function and the bald hair Karasuma's human head to Yao Yikang, and said, "Brother Xian, now that the bald tree function has been conferred, you can bring these two human heads back to worship, I believe you can comfort your uncle's soul in the sky." ”

Yao Yikang cried: "If it weren't for my brother's care, the revenge of killing my father would have no hope of retribution in this life, and the great grace would not dare to thank him, and let the younger brother repay it in the future." ”

Liu Yin smiled and said: "Why should the virtuous brother be like this, the enemy's hatred is also my hatred, the bald tree function is not eliminated for a day, and there will never be peace in Hexi." Now that the revenge has been avenged, I don't know what the virtuous brother has arranged? ”

Yao Yikang said gloomily: "My father and brother are all mourned, the Xiping people are all slaughtered, and the stars are scattered, I can only go back to the Big and Small Elm Valley first, regain the old department, and I can't live up to my father's last wish no matter what." ”

Liu Yin nodded and said: "It's okay, now that Hexi is over, the Qiang Department has no strong enemies, and the virtuous brother has succeeded to the throne as the king of Xiping, so he should focus on the affairs of the Qiang people." ”

Yao Yikang thanked him and left, but when he left, he didn't take all the men and horses with him, and divided the men and horses under his command into two, and he only took half of them, and the remaining 15,000 horses were left to Liu Yin. Yao Yikang knew that if he went to take all the Qiang cavalry away, then Liu Yin's subordinates would have less help, although Liangzhou had been pacified, but Liu Yin's real strong enemy was still in the east, and his own going was tantamount to drawing a salary from the bottom of the kettle. But Yao Yikang, as the successor of the King of Xiqiang, has a heavy burden, so it is naturally impossible to follow Liu Yin to fight the world, this time he left Liu Yin with half of the men, which can be regarded as repaying Liu Yin for avenging his father's revenge.

Yao Yikang took away half of the Qiang cavalry, and Liu Yin's strength was not lost, because Liu Yin did not rest this winter, but kept recruiting troops and horses in the Hexi region to expand his strength.

Now the four counties of Hexi have been under the control of Liu Yin, although the population of Hexi is not large, but the people are fierce, which has a great relationship with the local wars over the years, fried to protect themselves, most of the people here are trained in martial arts, good at riding and shooting, originally Liangzhou is Cao Wei's horse-producing land, Cao Wei's cavalry is strong, and Liangzhou horses are inseparable, now Liu Yin has Liangzhou, armed with a strong cavalry, it seems that it is not difficult.

What's more, in the battle with the Xianbei people, the Shu army captured a lot of war horses, and it was a matter of course to build an elite cavalry unit.

The fifteen thousand Qiang cavalry left by Yao Yikang, all of them are good at fighting, and they are now under Liu Yin's command, which is naturally no longer the kind of guest status when Yao Yikang was there.

Liu Yin transferred 15,000 people from the garrisons of various counties in Liangzhou, and among the newly recruited soldiers, selected more than 20,000 elite soldiers, mixed them with the Qiang cavalry into ten battalions, and carried out a comprehensive reorganization with the old and the new.

As for the lack of soldiers in each county, they were transferred from among the newly recruited soldiers, such a big change of blood, but also completely eliminated the hidden dangers of the counties in Liangzhou, although the captains of each county are now sent by Liu Yin, these airborne military commanders lack the suppressive power of the old county soldiers, Liu Yin's army is here, and the forces behind those county soldiers dare not act rashly, but in the future, when the army leaves, no one can guarantee what they are thinking.

After all, they are the old army, and their combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the new army, and they can be integrated into the new battalions without going through too much training. As for the newly recruited soldiers, it was also extremely conducive to the control of the county governors, laying a solid foundation for Liu Yin to firmly control Liangzhou.

After adjustment, although the history of Liangzhou is still Xu Wu, there is no change in the Taishou of each county, but the side of military power has made them all become complete civilian officials, and the original political system of Liangzhou has been completely broken, and Liu Yin has no worries.

It has been more than a year since leaving Chang'an, the army has been fighting for a long time, so that the pressure on Fu Yan and others on the Eastern Front has not been light, after Sima Yan succeeded to the throne, he integrated and divided the original forces of Cao Wei, and now it is almost complete, Sima Yan has never been a rule-abiding and conformist person, he is ambitious, naturally he can't tolerate others snoring on the side of the couch, and launch an attack on Guanzhong, it is a matter of time.

So after the incident in Hexi, Liu Yin began to assemble various teams as soon as possible, preparing to return to Guanzhong.

Before he had time to leave, Liu Yin received an urgent document from Chang'an for 600 miles, and as expected, as Liu Yin expected, Sima Yan, who couldn't hold back, gathered an army of 200,000 troops, and the soldiers were divided into three routes, respectively pointing to Tongguan, Wuguan, Pubanjin, and the battle of Shu and Jin, which kicked off in a real sense.

The military situation was urgent, Liu Yin did not dare to delay, said goodbye to Zhang Ji, the Taishou of Dunhuang, immediately raised troops from Yumen Pass, gathered the soldiers and horses scattered in various parts of Liangzhou, and hurried back to Guanzhong. However, starting from Yumen Pass, to the front line of Tongguan, there is at least four or five thousand miles away, and it is impossible for the Shu army to have wings, even if it is fast, it will take about two months to return to Guanzhong, during this time, Liu Yin only secretly prayed, hoping that Fu Yan could withstand it.

The ancient road is long, the yellow sand is long, the footprints of the army are quickly buried by the wind and sand, everything is annihilated, only the white snow on the top of the Qilian Mountain, the vast yellow sand on the desert Gobi, is truly eternal. (To be continued.) )
