Chapter 78 Hengshan Returns to His Heart
In Liangzhou Prefecture, generals and officials at all levels gathered together.
There was a lot of discussion in the lobby, and when I looked around, almost everyone was filled with a hint of excitement.
After subduing the seven Qiangs of Hengshan, Li Wei rewarded the lords of each tribe. Liangzhou was short of money, but Li Wei was not stingy at all.
He returned the property he stolen from Hengshan to the lords of each tribe. Many of them were stolen from ordinary Qiang people.
Nearly 10,000 Qiang people died in battle, but their patriarch got the property that should have belonged to them for nothing.
The seven clan leaders lived more wealth and comfort on the corpses of countless Qiang children.
A feeling of dissatisfaction had already begun to spread, and Li Wei's actions made the patriarchs trust him very much. Hengshan also became a major trade route, and many Liangzhou people took the opportunity to get to Hengshan.
A few days ago, the son of the patriarch of the Yeli tribe died accidentally on the road to hunting. He was robbed cleanly and hung his body on a tree.
The Yeli clan leader was furious and ordered the search for the suspicious suspects. Some officials from Liangzhou took the opportunity to instigate the clan leader's private soldiers to plunder them.
The Han people oppressed the people's crooked ways, but after more than ten centuries of hard work, the various tricks of making money made Yeli's officials stunned and excited.
This moment was like a fuse, igniting the resentment that the Qiang people in Hengshan had been depressed for a long time.
Rebellions spread throughout Hengshan and corpses were everywhere.
The clan leaders raised their private troops to slaughter the Qiang people at the bottom, but the Qiang people were a martial hunting tribe, and almost all the people were soldiers.
Soon, the rebel Qiang people besieged the leaders of the seven tribes to Xiaoyue Peak in Hengshan.
Xiaoyue Peak is steep and has cliffs on all sides, so it is impossible to attack.
The rebellious Qiang people lacked leaders, but they could not bear the oppression of the clan leader. They were full of energy and gathered together. Now they were afraid that the Han people would come to clear themselves, and gradually they would have the intention to retreat.
But they were afraid of the revenge of the patriarch leader in the future. Some advocated killing them simply, while others advocated negotiating with them, and the differences became increasingly greater. Without the leader's idea, they had their own interests after a few days of arguing, and they were all clueless.
At this time, the General's Mansion was finally ready to take action, and Li Wei also recovered some of his energy and sat on his head as he was as deep as water.
The Qiang people in Hengshan fought with the General's Mansion for hundreds of years. He was as frightened as the sea of enemies to those leaders, and he wanted to eat their meat and drink their blood. Therefore, after winning, he rewarded the leaders, which once caused an uproar in the army.
If Li Wei hadn't had high prestige enough, he would have mutiny long ago.
Now that we have reached this point, the soldiers have understood Li Wei's intentions and are all impressed.
"Since Taizu established the General Mansion, our Li family has been guarding Xiliang for generations, fighting with more than 2,000 Qiang people in all sizes, and Zong Si died in the battle. Today, it is time to completely resolve the situation of the Qiang people in Hengshan."
"Old general, I am willing to be the pioneer and eliminate the Qiang people!"
Li Wei waved his hand, looked at the only Jiang Xiangyu who saw his thoughts, and smiled and said, "I mean to attack the enemy. I don't mean to destroy the Qiang people, but to take them all for my own use. Today, when we send troops, we do not support the leaders of various tribes, but to take their dog heads and destroy their entire family, and then completely include the Qiang people who are unmanned under our jurisdiction and abolish the chief system!"
"I personally lead the central army. Li Xin, you lead the troops to be the right army. Wu Feng, you lead the troops to be the left army. Three groups will attack together, and the troops will be launched on Xiaoyuefeng!"
"Here!"
At the Xiaoyue Peak, there are quite a few Qiang people who have not dispersed, and they are more confused.
Many people are at a loss. The Qiang people have always implemented the tribal system. The patriarch is their absolute master. In the past, they only had to listen to the leader's arrangements and had no chance to think.
Over time, the Qiang people at the bottom gradually stopped using their brains and became accustomed to everything that followed the clan leader. However, now, those who were officials in the past were either killed early by the angry Qiang people or fled to Xiaoyue Peak. Now they were asked to make a decision and could not make a unified and reasonable arrangement. They neither sent anyone up the mountain to negotiate nor wanted to communicate with the General's Mansion.
The sky in the northwest is vast and high, and the birds of prey hovering above it makes a harsh twitch.
The Qiang people lying on the ground were doing nothing, waiting for a few combinations.
Suddenly, the ground trembled, and all the Qiang people stood up alertly.
This shocked them so familiar. This was a sign that a large number of cavalrymen rushed over. Although the Qiang people were dull, each of them was born warriors and had amazing judgment.
"The Han people are here, the Han people are here to rescue the clan leader..."
Some people roared in despair. They held the knife and finally knew what they were going to do. Anyway, the battle was just a fight, no matter who his opponent was.
Soon, the Qiang people surrounded the Qiang people outside Xiaoyue Peak and were surrounded by people.
The opposite was the enemy they were very familiar with. Yes, it was the enemy. The Han and Qiang had been hostile for a hundred years, but had only surrendered for half a year, which means they had been friends for only half a year.
The familiar Xiliang Malaysia and the familiar opponents were still so powerful, which also aroused the war in the hearts of the Qiang people. Their eyes were red, without any fear, and they just waited for the fight.
From the vanguard of the Western Liang army, a tall horse slowly walked out. The knight on the horse shouted loudly in a very fluent Dangxiang slogan: "Brothers of Qiang people, the leaders of the seven tribes are cruel and unkind, abused the tribes and oppressed the people. Your sons died for them, and your wife and daughters cried dryly, but they lay on the corpses of your children, your father and brother, and were full of fat!
What qualifications do they have to be your offerings and allegiance to you?
Now, the time for resistance is here, and the general is willing to make a decision for you and others, kill all the leaders of the seven tribes, and the dignity of you waiting for one person."
After a silence, a violent cheer suddenly erupted in front of the main peak, which made the earth shake.
On Xiaoyue Peak, the leaders of the seven tribes were also excited to see the banner of the general's mansion.
They opened the mountain gate of defense, put down the ropes, and welcomed the arrival of the Savior.
In the autumn of the 12th year of Gengyuan, General Li Wei, the Western Expedition, killed the leader of the Qi Qiang in Hengshan in one battle, and read out ten crimes of the seven surnames in public at Xiaoyuefeng, killing all his clan members.
All the Qiang people present were grateful, clenched their fists in their chests, and spoke loudly to express their loyalty.
The Qiang people, who have always been a big trouble in the northwest, completely surrendered to the General's Mansion in the West, and added more than 100,000 high-quality soldiers to the General's Mansion in vain.
Such a big event did not even cause any turmoil in Bianliang...
