I don’t know why, but the more Fazheng tried to find ways to solve the Qiang people’s livelihood problems in Liangzhou, the more the Qiang people rebelled.

He farmed in Liangzhou, and at the same time vigorously opened a government horse farm. At the same time, he used the materials funded by Liu Qi to improve the level of the Qiang tribe and help them increase their productivity. He also vigorously promoted the policy of Shibu and reduced the taxes of the Qiang people.

Let them have the ability to develop themselves, ensure food and clothing, and reduce conflicts.

Who would have thought that this contradiction would become smaller and smaller, which was unexpected by Fa Zheng.

What's wrong with these Qiang people in Liangzhou? Why do they become more arrogant and ignorant of good and evil the better they are treated?

Just when Fa Zheng was unable to do anything, the newly appointed Western Region Protector Jia Xu arrived in Liangzhou.

After learning about the current situation from Fazheng, Jia Xu immediately made a policy to stop all aid to the Qiang people and at the same time raise the taxes on the Qiang people to three times the previous level.

This point puzzled Fa Zheng, and he immediately asked Jia Xu for advice: "By doing this, isn't it forcing the Qiang people to rebel?"

Jia Xu's answer was also very straightforward: "Yes, I am just forcing them to rebel."

This surprised Fazheng.

"But Liangzhou needs stability."

Jia Xu's answer was still simple: "Liangzhou has never been a stable place. You have given them so many benefits. Are they honest?"

Fa Zheng immediately fell silent.

Jia Xu then explained to Fazheng.

"The Qiang people in Liangzhou are different from the barbarians in Shu. The tribal leaders of the Qiang people are the same as the Xiongnu chanyu and Xianbei leaders. They have very strong control over the tribe. They regard the tribe's people as private property and have no regard for the Han Dynasty's appeasement policy.

They were extremely vigilant, fearing that the Han Dynasty would eat away at their power in the tribe. They kept the tribe in war all year round in order to strengthen their control over the tribe in the war, because the Qiang people, like the Xianbei people, respected martial arts.

"

"They are dependent on the Han people, but at the same time they are full of the desire for independence. The benefits given to them by the Han court will not directly reach the hands of ordinary Qiang people. They will basically be intercepted by the tribal leaders. These materials will not

Allowing the Qiang people to improve their lives will only allow them to tame more war horses and forge more bows and arrows to use as tools for the next rebellion against the rule of the Han Dynasty. The reason why the rebel Qiang tribes continue to rebel against the Han Dynasty is not because the Han people are against them

Being too unfriendly, but constantly rebelling and then being surrendered, is their tribe's way of survival that continues to this day."

Fa Zheng was dumbfounded and didn't know what to do.

It seems that Jia Xu, who was born in Liangzhou, knows much more about the Qiang people than he does.

"Then I dare to ask the Great Protector, what should we do next?"

"It is impossible to completely subjugate them, but it is possible to make them calm for a while... Lianzong, lobbying, disintegrating them from within, forcing them to have civil strife, and then carrying out a large-scale counter-insurgency, beating them until they can't stand up.

If you come back, you won't be able to cause any trouble for us in three or two years, that's enough." Jia Xu said calmly.

Fa Zheng was silent when he heard this: "May I ask the Protector, what should be the method for this series of moves?"

Jia Xu did not speak. He slowly took out a piece of silk from his sleeve and said: "This is what I asked the people from the Guards Department to compile before I left the capital. It is about Wudu, Hanyang, Longxi, Anding, and Beizhou."

There are a total of thirty-three Qiang tribe leaders in the five counties of the region.

Deep down, some Qiang leaders are old and need to pass on their thrones to their sons, but the concept of direct descendants among the Qiang people is not very strong, and it is not uncommon for descendants to fight and divide the tribe. This gives us the means to operate back and forth...

"

Fazheng took the scroll and read it for a long time in surprise. He looked up at Jia Xu in surprise and said, "These are all verified by the Guards Department?"

"yes."

"But even if the people from the Guards Department want to investigate, how can they be so accurate?"

"Because I provided them with a rough guide and the people who need to be visited carefully."

"They're all protecting you?"

"Master Fafu, you need to know that I have lived in Liangzhou for more than forty years. No one knows this place better than me."

Fazheng swallowed lightly. He thought that even if he had stayed in Shuzhong for a hundred years, he might not have as deep a knowledge of his hometown as Jia Xu did.

"It's just that if you want to implement the method of connecting, vertical, and separating, you must have a shrewd person to coordinate it, and this person must be good at this method. Fa Mou thinks that he is still a little behind in this aspect."

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "No problem, I will provide you with a suitable candidate."

"who?"

"Li Ru!"

…

With the intelligence clues provided by Jia Xu and the formulation of policies, Fazheng, Meng Da, Wu Yi and others will coordinate the resources of each county in the open, and Li Ru will act in the dark. The Qiang people in Liangzhou are really

It was mixed into a pot of porridge by them.

Within a few months, more than a dozen tribes attacked each other back and forth. At the same time, the nephews of seven tribal leaders revolted, killed the tribal leaders and seized their inheritance. However, even this did not prevent these Qiang rebels, who rebelled almost every month.

Want to raise an army to rebel against the local county office.

While the five eastern counties of Liangzhou were in chaos, they continued to integrate Liangzhou's military forces.

Needless to say, he brought Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others.

Yifazheng, Pang De, Meng Da, Wu Yi and other county guards were also his staunch followers.

At the same time, the two armies of Ma Teng and Yan Xing were under the command of the Han Dynasty, but they were relatively independent. At the same time, they also had complicated local interests with the Qiang tribes. Jia Xu could not completely trust them, but on the surface they were

However, Jia Xu must be given sufficient support to show his sincerity to the court.

Then, there was no doubt that the fight started.

In terms of the overall number of soldiers and horses, the soldiers of each county are at a disadvantage, but each tribe of the Qiang tribe works on its own and can be defeated individually. Moreover, among the tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans, many elites were trained by Pang De during this period.

Elite soldiers can also be of great use.

The number of war horses that the five eastern counties can provide is also sufficient.

The only thing that is somewhat stretched is the general talents that can be used.

Neither Fazheng nor Jia Xu can stand in front of the battle. Ma Teng, Ma Chao and his son, and Yan Xing will help suppress the rebellion, but because of conflicting interests they will not do their best for Jia Xu. To a certain extent, they are just assisting.

Therefore, the good generals who can be used in battle include Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Pang De... The location of Wudu County where Wu Yi is located is quite special. It is the throat from Liangzhou to the middle of Shu, so he cannot leave without permission. Meng Da and Fa

As a county guard, I have to sit in the rear.

There is no doubt that Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Pang De are all talented generals, but they are still not enough for Liangzhou, which has a vast territory and numerous Qiang rebellions.

Just when he was feeling a little worried, Liu Cong was ordered to arrive in Xiliang to assist Jia Xu.

Jia Xu received a letter from Liu Qi and knew that Liu Qi wanted to train Liu Cong, so he threw him here. The problem was that Jia Xu had not wiped his own shit, so he had no extra energy to train Liu Cong.

But then, Sun Ce came!

Before Sun Ce arrived in Liangzhou, Liu Qi secretly sent someone to see Jia Xu and explained all the matters to Jia Xu.

Liu Qi told Jia Xu: "Don't worry and boldly use this son of the Jiangdong Tiger. He comes to Liangzhou this time, undoubtedly to establish meritorious deeds. Although he has ulterior motives, it does not prevent him from doing his best in Liangzhou and making great achievements."
