Chapter 271: Liangzhou converted to Hu.

Chapter 271: Liangzhou converted to Buddhism.

Zhou Yu led 10,000 cavalrymen from Tongguan and crossed the entire Guanzhong area.

The first stop was to rest in Chang'an.

The second stop for replenishment was in Tianshui, by which time we had already entered the Liangzhou area.

When he stopped for the third time, he was already thousands of miles away from Tongguan. Walking along the Tao River in the yellow sand, the outline of a city gradually appeared in front of him.

"General Zhou, we have arrived at Longxi City!"

The cavalry general beside him stretched out his arm and pointed forward to show Zhou Gongjin the way.

These 10,000 cavalrymen were originally soldiers from Liang Province under Han Sui's command. They were a mixture of Qiang and Han people. For Zhou Yu, it was a long expedition to the wild lands beyond the Great Wall, but for them, it was a journey home.

"Let's go, and hurry to Longxi City." Zhou Yu rode his horse forward, waving the whip, and the cavalry behind him began to speed up.

"Drive!~"

"Drive!~"

We are getting closer and closer to Longxi City.

The Tao River has returned to its clarity, the blood is no longer there, and the water is crystal clear.

Later, some crops began to appear, distributed along the banks of the Tao River. However, they were severely affected by the war, and it is estimated that only about 30% to 50% can be harvested.

Subsequently,

Zhou Yu saw a scene he had never seen before in his life. The shock this scene brought to him could never be erased no matter how many years passed.

First there were cattle and sheep, endless cattle and sheep...

All over the mountains and plains...

There is no limit to it, one hundred thousand? No, it is far more than hundreds of thousands!
woman,

To be precise, they were Qiang women, countless Qiang women, all of them young Qiang women. Zhou Yu looked at them and found that most of them were in their teens or at most in their twenties.

The Qiang women were herding sheep. There were so many of them, more than a hundred thousand.

Qiang women, and some other Hu women, are as numerous as the cattle and sheep here...

Such a scene made Zhou Gongjin completely confused.

What a generous gesture.

What a big gain...

In the battle of Liangzhou, the King of Chu killed all his enemies and massacred all the strong Qiang people in the twelve counties of Liangzhou.

The dead men, the Qiang people who died in battle, the cattle and sheep of every tribe, and the women of every family all became Liu Wu's prey.

"Gong Jin!"

A voice was heard, and someone came riding a horse. It was Zhou Yu's acquaintance, Taishi Ci.

"King Chu specially ordered me to pick you up after learning that Gongjin was coming!"

Zhou Yu saw an unprecedented sense of joy on Taishi Ci's face, which was rarely seen when he was in Jiangdong.

Taishi Ci's demeanor only existed during the time of Sun Ce, the first ruler of Jiangdong...

"Sun Zhongmou is still here, Zhou Gongjin is still here, Lu Su is still here, Cheng Pu, Han Qin, Huang Gai, and Zhou Tai are all still here, but are you, Taishi Ziyi, still the Taishi Ziyi of Jiangdong?!"

Zhou Yu spoke.

He could see that Taishi Ci had been harmed by Liu Wu and might even be tempted to return home.

Taishi Ci was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "Gongjin, you asked me if Taishi Ziyi is still Taishi Ziyi from Jiangdong..."

"I also have a question for you. Sun Zhongmou is still here, Zhou Gongjin is still here, Lu Su is still here, Cheng Pu, Han Qin, Huang Gai, and Zhou Tai are all still here, but is Jiangdong today still the same as it was back then?!"

As these words fell with the north wind, Zhou Yu suddenly lost his mind.

It was as if an arrow had pierced my heart, and I was about to fall off my horse...

"Gongjin!" Taishi Ci hurried forward.

Zhou Yu came back to his senses and held the saddle: "I'm fine."

The atmosphere in the field was solemn. Zhou Yu let out a long breath and pointed his whip in all directions: "I see there are no soldiers guarding here. Aren't you afraid that these Qiang women will run away with the cattle and sheep?"

The two of them rode forward together, and heard Taishi Ci's voice drifting in the wind...

"run?"

"Where to run?"

"All the Qiang men in Liangzhou were defeated by the King of Chu."

"All the children, old people and men were killed. The tribe is completely empty. There is no human habitation within a thousand miles..."

"We didn't do this. Han Sui has more than 10,000 Liangzhou Qiang soldiers under his command. This is their territory and they are familiar with the route. A team of cavalry can wipe out more than a dozen tribes in a day..."

……

at last,

Arrived at the city of Longxi!

On the banks of the Tao River, Zhou Yu saw the familiar figure again.

The King of Chu was not wearing armor, but he was still extremely majestic. He rode his horse slowly, and opposite him were countless soldiers sitting by the Tao River, most of whom looked like Qiang people.

Han Sui was also among them...

"Are you Qiang?"

A young soldier looked up helplessly at Han Sui beside him. He was Han Sui's personal soldier.

However, Han Sui did not turn around to give him a hint.

The young Qiang soldier immediately stood up and knelt down in front of the figure on the horse: "Reporting to the King of Chu, I am a Qiang."

Jin Yang was behind the King of Chu. All the young Qiang soldiers raised their heads. They couldn't see Liu Wu's face clearly. He only heard the figure say something displeased: "Are you really a Qiang?"

"Reply, report to the King of Chu, I am indeed a Qiang, and I have served under General Han Sui for six years..."

brush! ~
Blood gushed out.

A head fell to the ground.

The sword at the King of Chu's waist was unsheathed...

"Han Sui, what did I say? Liang does not keep the Qiang..."

The King of Chu was displeased.

Han Sui's face turned pale.

Countless Qiang soldiers fell into extreme panic.

"How many tribes have you wiped out under my command?"

"I didn't do anything but rape and plunder..."

"Old people and children, please let a few of them go..."

"The entire Liangzhou Qiang people were killed by you guys, and you guys still have the nerve to call yourselves Qiang people?"

Like the wind blowing through the wheat fields,
Countless soldiers lowered their heads.

In the past, it was common for Qiang tribes to attack each other, but there had never been such an unprecedented mass extinction.

The madness of the looting and the wanton killing in the past few days, it seems that they only realized what they had done until now...

The voice of the King of Chu was still echoing:
"You have also fought bloody battles, so you should know the vastness of the Han Dynasty's territory, the prosperity of the country, and the brilliance of its civilization..."

"I really don't know what you guys are thinking."

"Qiang Hu, a wild mountain people who are uneducated, are they worthy of being your ancestors?"

At this time, Han Sui stood up and said, "King of Chu, but they are barbarians after all."

"When they were in chaos, they knew they were barbarians and inferiors, so they robbed me, Han Sui, and forced me to be their leader..."

That's right,

Han Sui, the biggest warlord in Liang Province and the most powerful person among the Qiang people, was initially kidnapped by the Qiang and begged him to be their leader.

"That I will transform into a barbarian today."

The sword returned to its sheath with blood on it. Liu Wu raised his eyes and scanned the soldiers: "You have conquered Liangzhou and put an end to the century-old Qiang rebellion. You have made great contributions to the country, right?!"

Hula la,
Countless soldiers knelt down one after another...

"Yes!~"

The King of Chu spoke again:
"Qiang Hu, a wild mountain people who are uneducated, are they worthy of being your ancestors?"

When Liu Wu asked this time, there was silence in the room. No one dared to answer, or no one knew how to answer.

One breath,
Two breaths,

Three breaths,

"No, no, not worthy..." Finally someone spoke tremblingly. He was a general under Han Sui and had been assimilated into the Han culture for a long time. "We fought for the Han Dynasty and conquered Liangzhou. We are meritorious officials of the country. How can the Qiang people, barbarians and inferiors, be worthy of being our ancestors?!"

then,

This man's voice was like a spark that ignited the entire field!
"Not worthy!"

"Not worthy!!"

"Not worthy!!!"

It doesn’t matter whether they are worthy or not. What matters is that they are eager from the bottom of their hearts to completely separate themselves from the Qiang people.

Because they swept through the entire Liangzhou Qiang tribe, killing all the old people and children...

They don't want to bear the guilt.

"Remember this, Liang will not leave Qiang behind."

"You are the heroes of the country. It was you who wiped out the Qiang people in Liangzhou. How could those barbarians and inferiors be worthy of being your ancestors? Remember, you... are the descendants of the conquerors and the kings!"

　Sorry, I didn't expect there would be someone waiting so late.
