In August of the second year of Zhongping, under Liu Cang's butterfly wings, Liangzhou's anti-rebellion army was fully launched.

Dong Zhuo and Bao Hong organized their armies and led tens of thousands of light cavalry northward to Anding. They circled around Shicheng to pacify the area, cut off the connection between Jincheng and Wuwei, and attacked Yongdeng from the north to contain the Qiang troops from increasing their troops in Jincheng.

Sun Jian led his army with more than 30,000 infantrymen. They attacked by land and water, divided into two groups, and advanced towards Jincheng head-on.

Fu Xie moved to Hanyang to be the governor, assisting Zhang Wen, and Yuan Pang was in charge of Hanyang, taking charge of the affairs in the middle.

Huangfusong of the North gathered his troops and was ready to march westward at any time to prevent and stabilize the rebellion in the Hanyang area.

Although there are high calls for counterinsurgency in Liangzhou, people should not take it lightly, because it is not uncommon for rebellion to occur in this area at any time.

Hanyang City left 10,000 cavalry behind, and Fu Xie, Zhang Wen, and Yuan Pang were in charge to prevent any further mishaps in Hanyang, so as to prevent the bandit army from being attacked from both sides.

After the army moved, Huangfu Song of Beidi County divided his troops into 50,000 troops. On the one hand, he went north to deter Xianbei, who was about to move and wanted to invade. On the other hand, he prepared for the war in Liangzhou. If Hanyang was stable and Hanyang showed signs of recurrence, he could send troops to suppress it.

As for this series of arrangements related to counterinsurgency, it is not difficult to see how confusing Liangzhou has been in people's minds for a long time.

There are tigers and wolves in Liu Cang's army. To be honest, he can't afford to feed those wolves anymore. There are about five thousand wolves. These wolves intimidate Liangzhou's powerful people, and also give Liangzhou powerful people hope.

It cannot be killed, but the consumption of raising it is enough for tens of thousands of troops.

Tigers and wolves crossed the Weishui River and went straight to Longxi. Along the way, Liu Cang did not care about leaving any more tiger and wolf species in various places. The wild beasts disappeared along the northern line of the Weishui River, and even attracted people along the way to worship and praise him.

It is good to earn a reputation. There will probably be fewer wild animals escaping into this area within five years. If it is properly fenced, the peaceful living environment will last longer.

But the problem is that if people live here, the direction of Chang'an will probably be even more unstable.

To put it bluntly, it is difficult to say that foreigners have integrated into the Han Dynasty. It is difficult to say that in other places. The land of Liangzhou really has some manifestations of "the guest bullies the host".

Liangzhou cannot be governed, at least not at this time.

Liu Cang drove the beasts straight into Wushan Mountain in Longxi Province as quickly as possible. Along the way, many loyal soldiers joined the army. Liu Cang led 3,000 troops and horses, and Zhou Shen led more than 10,000 long-water cavalry.

Entering Longxi via Wushan, Liu Cang and Zhou Shen led their troops to force the south of Jincheng and suppress the Fuhan area to prevent the Qiang from increasing their troops in Jincheng.

Jincheng is located at the junction of Wuwei, Hanyang and Longxi, and to the west is the Shaodang Qiang gathering place on the border of the Xianhai Lake area, which can be described as a crucial hub.

The three armies under Zhang Wen's command moved together to isolate Jincheng and seize Hancheng, Liangzhou, which had been maintained and repaired for many years.

The general of the army, Liu Cang, led the smallest number of troops, while Zhou Shen, who was also the commander-in-chief of the army, obeyed Liu Cang's orders honestly.

There was no way, the thousands of beasts were too ferocious, so when they arrived near Wushan, Ma Teng and his men had already gathered 30,000 volunteers to follow Liu Cang's orders. They all obeyed Liu Cang's orders, and many of them worshiped tigers and wolves, but there were military orders.

, follow everything.

The mountain road and canyon are densely covered with jungle on both sides. The mountains are steep and deep, and children can get trapped in the deep grass.

The Flying Bear Battalion led the way, followed by tigers and wolves in the surrounding area.

Yulin Cavalry and Changshui Cavalry were in the middle, followed by Liangzhou Yicong from the rear, and a large number of Hu and Qiang slaves who had been rescued along the way.

In a desperate move, the Han army suppressed the Hu Qiang rebellion and rescued a large number of Hu Qiang slaves who were enslaved by the rebels.

The canyon is dark and the birds are chirping. Zhou Shen and Liu Cang are walking side by side. In addition to their respective soldiers, Ma Teng and other righteous soldiers are also on one side.

"Your Highness, this place has entered the boundary of Wushan Mountain. It is suitable for an ambush. Someone under your command is familiar with the nearby terrain. Do you want to send scouts to explore the way?" Looking at the terrain from a distance, Zhou Shen frowned, and Ma Teng spoke to Liu Cang.

"Send the order to rest and continue marching in half an hour!" Liu Cang shook his head. Someone beside Ma Teng was about to say something more, but saw Liu Cang pointing at the mountains and valleys.

"Come out!" Liu Cang shouted.

"Roar~"

"Ouch~!" The tiger roared and the wolf roared.

Near Liu Cang, two half-sized white tigers and wolves raised their heads and roared, and the dense beasts in front of the army let out roars that shook the sky.

Dozens of wolf kings were scurrying in all directions, followed by wolves. Five wolf groups rushed straight through the mountain canyon, and the rest of the wolf groups rushed into the mountains.

A group of tigers climbed the rock. The tigers, which were smaller in number but more powerful than the wolves, rushed into the mountain. They also jumped and ran on the straight cliffs. The animals entered the mountain without disturbing the crowd of less than ten people. For a short moment, the beasts in the mountain were silent.

Roaring and boiling.

"Ouch~~~" The front army was quiet, while the rear army Liangzhou Yi shouted loudly.

The scene of thousands of beasts entering the forest is horrifying, but if these ferocious beasts all obey their own command, it will inevitably boost military morale.

When the troops shouted loudly, Ma Teng's eyes flashed with excitement.

They had long been accustomed to the sight of Liu Cang driving away beasts along the way, but listening to the roars of beasts that seemed to be everywhere in the mountains, they seemed to have seen that this area would become their pasture in the near future.

In the past few months, Shanwang and Laifu have also grown up a lot. Compared to Shanwang, Laifu has grown slightly slower, while Laifu has gradually become more like a wolf.

The mountain king has a second level of quality and is naturally stronger than ordinary tigers. Now he can follow Liu Cang on his march independently, while Laifu follows the wolves into the mountains. If he encounters a wild wolf, he can also try to coerce him in addition to killing him.

Come back and ask Liu Cang to surrender.

There were many wild wolves in the mountains. Liu Cang harvested many wolves and many died.

With the help of ferocious tigers, the wolves will not suffer too much loss in the battle between wild beasts. However, when the number of wolves increases, they will often become food for Liu Cang's ferocious beasts.

The ferocious tiger eats the wolf. The withered eagle eats the wolf. The wolf also eats the wolf.

Well, wolverines are often fed by the soldiers they follow, eating relatively simple dried fruits and meat.

The Wushan area is vast and involved in wars, so Liu Cang could not slowly capture the tiger here. He was worried that the mountain king would be in danger, so Liu Cang did not let it run wild in the mountains.

After a while of waiting, from time to time a tiger would drag back the tiger and leopard that had been besieged to death.

The whole army continues to march. After passing through the mountain gorges, hills and plains, the eagles and wolverines will find wolf dens hidden in holes.

The army besieged Zhangxian County, and Liangzhou Yicong asked for orders to attack and annihilate the rebels occupying this place again.

There was no major battle along the way. At most, there was only a rebel group of less than 3,000 people. The officers and soldiers did not even need to take action.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ma Teng is brave, Liangzhou takes the lead, and Liu Cang and others seem to have become protected objects.

Liu Cang also cooperated with the troops stationed in Zhangxian County to suppress the rebellion. In the Wushan area, tigers and wolves were fighting in the mountains and fields, and the smiling faces of Ma Teng and others became more and more sincere.

There were serious rebellions in Huhan, Didao, and Shouyang in Longxi, and the garrison in Zhangxian County was not considered a waste of opportunity.

During half a month, with the rebel army led by Ma Teng as the main force, troops led by Liu Cang and Zhou Shen sent out from all directions to sweep the counties in southwestern Longnan.

The counties were pacified, Wushan and its surrounding plains and hills were cleared, and the number of tigers led by Liu Cang increased to 500 and nearly 10,000 wolves.

There are fewer eagles and more vultures in Longxi. However, due to recent human killings and the hunting of wild beasts in the mountains, Liu Cang did not dare to capture vultures for fear of causing plague disasters.

As the number of wolves increases, hundreds and hundreds of them are used as food for the herds to decrease every few days.

Even though a lot of human deaths occurred during the war, and even though people here in Liangzhou didn't seem to care much about tigers and wolves cannibalizing people, for more Han people, letting wild beasts eat people was still a taboo.

In order to prevent more wolves from being wasted as food, Liu Cang gathered the beasts when the surrounding areas of Longxi were peaceful, suppressed Didao, and marched into Fanhan.

The wolves will die on the way to attack the enemy. It is a pity that the lively ones are used as animal food. Not to mention, the beast pack gives people the sense of brutality and cruelty.

After pacifying the southwestern part of Longnan, the official army was almost unscathed. The Yi Cong increased and decreased, but still maintained a number of about 30,000. When they marched again, the 20,000 slaves rescued by the army gave Liu Cang a headache.

Yes, it was really a bit bloody. They fought against the rebels and rescued thousands of slaves, a small number of whom were taken captive by the Han and repatriated to their hometowns. The 20,000 slaves who accompanied the army were special, as most of them were Qiang people outside the Great Wall.

Longxi is located at the border, and has been invaded by the Baima, Shaodang, and Po Qiang all year round. The Qiang outside the country will not only kidnap Han slaves, but also the chaotic wars between the Qiang tribes will also cause some Qiang people to flee into the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Some of these Qiang people entered the country to rob, some came to seek asylum, and some tried to quietly occupy a place to stay.

Although there are many foreign ethnic groups in Longxi, most of the Hu and Qiang people with Han nationality here returned to the Han after their own ethnic groups failed in the struggle.

The Hu Qiang of Han nationality do not like the Hu Qiang outside the Great Wall, and the situation is changing. When they encounter those stray dogs from outside the country, they will inevitably kidnap them into slaves.

Just like wolves, their barbaric cruelty is never specifically directed at a certain group. Even when facing the same kind of people, killing and robbing is commonplace whenever necessary.

There are 20,000 foreign slaves, most of whom are relatively pure Qiang people. Regardless of the circumstances they encountered before entering the Han territory, they all have no Han nationality and have been enslaved for a long time.

Some of these slaves belonged to the rebels, and some were originally enslaved by local powerful men and then robbed by the rebels.

When the Han army arrived, they would also act as rebel forces, but since the official army was strong, they would fight and fish, and actively surrendered.

Twenty thousand slaves willingly accepted the control of the official army and were willing to fight for the Han to kill the enemy. They only asked the Han to accommodate them and allocate a living area for them.

Ma Teng, Zhou Shen and others took these slaves for granted and even suggested that Liu Cang give them crude weapons to fight.

Facing these Hu and Qiang slaves, Liu Cang had a headache for several days, and he had another bizarre plan in his mind.
