    However, the situation needs to be stabilized now, but first Beigong Jiyu needs help.

    ¡°Don¡¯t do anything like this, get up!

    Wen Han shouted coldly, Beigong Jiyu was like an ant being roared by a lion, even the soul of his body seemed to be roared away by the sound.  Beigong Jiyu was trembling all over, but he stood up and admired Wenhan's power.  The reason why Beigong Jiyu is so humble is of course closely related to Wenhan's notoriety, but more importantly, the fate of the Xiqiang clan is in Wenhan's hands like a chicken egg at this moment.  As long as Wen Han exerts just a little force, the entire Xiqiang will be instantly destroyed!

    "What are you guilty of?"

    Wen Han narrowed his eyes, and Beigong Jiyu felt cold to the bones. From obstructing Wen Han's righteous army to instigating the Northern Qiang to cause rebellion, and then leading his clan to help the horse thieves, he said everything in a trembling voice.  After finally speaking, Beigong Jiyu burst into tears, knelt down on his knees, put his hands on his forehead, kowtowed heavily, and cried.

    "This is all my fault. Everyone in the Xiqiang people obeyed orders. They only respected the military princes and had no evil intentions. If the military princes wanted to kill or behead them, no matter how severe the punishment, I was willing to accept it. Wang Jun  Please show mercy to the innocent people of Xiqiang! I am willing to work as an ox or a horse in my next life to repay the kindness of the military lord!"

    "Hmph. Beigong Jiyu, you want to exchange your old life for a catastrophic disaster for the whole family. How can your life be of such value!!"

    Wenhan snorted coldly, which made Beigong Jiyu feel cold.  Since the battle in which Xiliang's army killed each other, suffered heavy losses from the Wen army and was almost completely destroyed, Xiqiang has no soldiers at the top and no soldiers at this moment.  In the hands of Bei Gong Jiyu, he didn't even have the slightest strength to increase his confidence.

    "God has the virtue of good life. Although we, the Hu people, are all evil, we have lost all our claws and claws and will be unable to do evil in half a hundred years. I hope that the military lord will spare the lives of more than 200,000 living beings of my Xiqiang clan!"

    "Now the remaining 200,000 people of the Xiqiang tribe are all old, young, women and children. The only remaining able-bodied people are the more than 10,000 people who were captured by Wen Han!"  Beigong Jiyu was like a man who was forced into desperation, but he didn't even have the strength to fight to the death. His dignity was completely lost. The only thing he could do was to beg for mercy from the hero who held the fate of the entire Xiqiang in his hands.

    Wenhan kept silent and held the armrest of the main seat lightly with one hand. The silence in the main hall was eerie and terrifying.  The slight knocking sound, every time it struck, was like a giant hammer that broke the sky and hit Beigong Jiyu's heart, constantly forcing him.

    Beigong Ji Yuru was suffering the most painful torture in her life. Her face became increasingly pale, her whole body was trembling, and her tears were pouring out.

    "Beigong Jiyu."

    I don¡¯t know how long it took before Wenhan called out in a deep voice.

    "Sin!! The sinner is here!!"

    Beigong Jiyu trembled as if he were being judged by the King of Hell, and quickly kowtowed in response.

    "Do you know that I have killed countless people in my life, especially against barbarians like you?"

    Beigong Jiyu's trembling became more severe, and he kowtowed his head lower, only responding.

    "That's because the Hu people mistakenly violated the military power of the army, and those who were killed must be the most evil people who deserved to die."

    In order to give Xiqiang a chance to survive, Beigong Jiyu not only lost all his dignity, but also abandoned all his remaining conscience and personality!  Wen Han smiled coldly, and he attacked Beigong Jiyu step by step, making Beigong Jiyu collapse like a puppet.

    "Okay! You are fully aware of the crime and the consequences of the offence! I will spare you the 200,000 Xiqiang evil spirits. But!"

    Beigong Jiyu's face was filled with ecstasy, but Wenhan suddenly changed the topic, making Beigong Jiyu seem to fall into the abyss again.

    "Once the war in Liangzhou ends, 200,000 Western Qiang people will move to Liangzhou and Yongzhou to work as laborers to repair county towns, build houses, and restore water conservancy for twelve years! This is  One! Can you promise?"

    Beigong Jiyu¡¯s teeth were shaking. Wenhan¡¯s move was to make 200,000 Qiang people slaves.  Beigong Jiyu's heart was in severe pain, but in order to survive, he still forced out the pronunciation of the words to answer.

    "What!"

    "Both. After twelve years, 200,000 Qiang people, the old can rest, the women and children can rest, and all the strong men will plow the fields. All harvests will be divided between 28 and 28 by me! It will last for twelve years! You  Yes!¡±

    ¡°What!!!!¡±

    Beigong Jiyu's eyes and nostrils suddenly overflowed with blood, as if his mind was suffering an extremely painful blow, and he shouted in response.

    "Three. From the day they moved away, all the Hu people abandoned their language, abandoned their clothes, changed their etiquette, learned Chinese language and Chinese etiquette, and wore Chinese clothes. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy! This is  You can promise the last condition!¡±

    Beigong Jiyu originally thought that Wenhan had any more excessive demands, but when he heard that the last request was nothing more than that, his tense spirit relaxed, he shook a few times, and said the word "Ù¼" in a weak voice, then he fainted on the spot.??

    Wen Han laughed coldly in his heart when he heard that Beigong Jiyu agreed to the last condition without thinking.  As a later generation, Wenhan deeply understood that if you want to destroy a nation, you must first destroy its culture.  His last condition is to subtly destroy the original culture of the Hu people through changes in their language, clothing, and etiquette, and then learn the Han culture as much as possible. Over time, the Qiang people will gradually forget about it after being influenced by the Han culture.  Get rid of your identity as a foreigner.  Especially the next generation of children, when they start to understand, they will take it for granted that they are Han Chinese.

    How could Beigong Jiyu, the king of the barbarian clan, understand the profoundness of this.  Beigong Jiyu fainted and passed away. Wen Han coldly ordered the soldiers to call the doctor. After the doctor came quickly to rescue Beigong Jiyu, Beigong Jiyu thought that the people of Xiqiang would be enslaved for twenty-four years.  , suddenly became distraught, and staggered back to his house under the escort of a group of civilian soldiers.

    Wenhan made an agreement with Beigong Jiyu, his face sank slightly, and a certain character flashed in his mind.  This person is none other than Cheng Gongying, the "Xiliang Think Tank" who once embarrassed Wen Han repeatedly.  Cheng Gongying had been captured for nearly half a month. According to reports from soldiers, he meditated every day, ate three meals as usual, and did not engage in any extreme behavior such as hunger strikes, insults, or death wishes.

    Cheng Gongying was a loyal and loyal man, and Wenhan was surprised by his abnormality.  However, Wen Han was not in a hurry to ask him to surrender. After all, Han Sui died at the hands of his general Zhang Liao.  With Cheng Gongying's temperament, he would never surrender to Wen Han unless something unexpected happened.  Wenhan fully understood his nature and sighed in annoyance.

    At this time, Li You happened to come looking for him, and when he heard Wenhan sigh, he immediately understood what was bothering Wenhan.

    "My lord, seeing that the conquest of Liangzhou is imminent, he should be smiling happily, but why are he sighing sadly here?"

    Of course, Li You didn't say anything. He first saluted and bowed, and then asked.  Wenhan looked back and cast an accusing look at Li You, as if blaming him for asking questions knowingly.

    "Since Zhongwen knows my heart, why do you ask me so much? That Cheng Gongying is quite talented and virtuous. I want to get it, but I am afraid that he will not be willing to use it for me."

    "My lord is worried, I do have a plan, but I don't know if it is feasible."

    Li You smiled slightly, and Wen Han suddenly burst into joy and asked quickly.

    "Zhongwen's plan comes from An, tell me quickly."

    "Hey! Cheng Gongying has a loyal temperament and regards responsibility more than his life. I once learned from Wang An that the reason why Cheng Gongying was willing to lead Han Sui's old troops and surrender to the Ma family was because of Han Jin, Han Sui's son.  Therefore, Han Jin was weak and incompetent, and his loyal ministers were far away from him. When Cheng Gongying saw that his lord's army was suppressing the country, he was afraid that Han Sui's family fortune would be lost in Quanzi's hands, so he first used marriage to obtain Ma Teng's daughter for Quanzi.  After receiving the protection of the Ma family, he was willing to lead the people to surrender.

    Now that the Xiliang army under Ma Chao is gone, the Ma family is unable to resist the lord's attack, and it is only a matter of time before Liangzhou falls into the lord's pocket.  The Ma family is in danger, and naturally they are unable to protect the dog.  On the other hand, the future fate of the dog will be in the hands of the lord. As long as the lord grasps this point and tries to persuade him, he is very likely to persuade Cheng Gongying to surrender.  However, before doing so, the lord still needs to capture the dog before he can implement the plan.  "

    Li You focused his eyes and analyzed continuously. Wenhan nodded repeatedly, and even clapped his hands and laughed after hearing this.

    "Hahaha!! Wonderful! If you can regain the great talent of Cheng Gongying, I will remember Zhongwen as a great contribution!!"

    Li You bowed modestly, and after some further discussion, the monarch and his ministers dispersed.

    A month later, Guan Yu and Zhang Liao attacked Wudu and Tianshui counties, and then each received urgent reports. Wen Han's soldiers summoned Hanyang County. Each of them left a force of troops to guard the area, and quickly led their troops to Hanyang.

    About half a month later, soldiers and horses from all branches of the civil army arrived one after another. The Hanyang defenders were unable to resist, and all the cities and counties were lost.  Wen Han gathered his troops at Xiangshui, Hanyang. Three generals, Guan Yu, Zhang Liao, and Hu Che'er, with a total of 30,000 troops from each department, approached the territory of Longxi.

    Longxi is the base of the Ma family. It is said that Ma Chao fled back after his defeat. Of the mighty army in the past, only the cavalry of fifty or sixty returned in embarrassment. It can be said to be endlessly desolate.  Ma Teng learned that Ma Chao had been defeated and that Xiliang's army had been wiped out. He had just recovered from his illness, but was shocked when his old illness relapsed. He vomited blood and fell to the ground.  Ma Chao and Ma Dai panicked and went into bed, while Ma Teng's condition was getting critical.  Ma Chao and Ma Dai walked to Ma Teng's bed, but Ma Teng could not speak with his fingers. He roared several times, spurted blood from his mouth, and passed out again.  Ma Chao and Ma Dai burst into tears, feeling extremely ashamed and regretful.

    When Ma Teng woke up again, the bad news came again that 30,000 civilian troops were approaching.  Ma Teng's face was as white as paper, his eyes were dim, he had built a career all his life, but he was about to be destroyed by others. Ma Teng was like an old tiger at the end of his life, staggering, supported by a group of soldiers, he came to the main hall in despair.  Then he sent someone to call Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Pang De and others.Come to discuss matters.

    "Wen Bufan has come with great momentum, and we are powerless to resist it. Xiliang has been in chaos for more than ten years due to war. Our former rival Han Wenyue died early, and now I have lost all our power. It seems that Xiliang has no choice but to fall into Wen Bufan's favor."  Only in the hands of this person can it be revived.

    The trend has reached this point and can no longer be violated. I want to surrender to Wen Bufan.  For the people of Xiliang and the soldiers in the army, a great disaster was avoided.  "

    Ma Teng sat at the head of the hall, his eyes empty and devoid of all energy.  When Ma Chao heard this, his eyes widened and he hissed with annoyance.

    "Father!!!"

    "You traitor, shut up! My huge family fortune has been destroyed by your hands! You still don't know how to repent. Are you willing to give up after making so many unnecessary sacrifices!!!"

    "I!!!"

    ¡°Stand back!!!¡±

    Ma Teng suddenly became angry and pointed at Ma Chao with trembling hands. Ma Chao retreated in shame, his lion face full of pain.  Ma Teng looked at Pound again, his voice slightly weakened.

    "Nowadays, how many more can our army reward capable warriors?"

    Pang De's body trembled violently. Seeing Ma Teng so weak, as if the candlelight in the wind would be extinguished at any time, he felt extremely painful in his heart and choked up.

    "Reporting to my lord, our army currently has less than 6,000 men capable of fighting."

    Hearing that only such a weak force was left, Ma Teng was like the vitality of a candle in the wind, almost extinguished by a strong wind.  Ma Teng held back the violent churning of his internal organs and then asked.

    "How many cavalry members are there?"

    "Three thousand!"

    After Ma Teng heard this, he nodded slightly and signaled Pound to retreat.  Ma Teng sat there and thought quietly for a while, his eyes silently looking at his most beloved eldest son.  He had three sons, Ma Chao, Ma Tie and Ma Xiu, two of whom were captured by Zhao Yun. Both he and Ma Chao were defeated by Wen Han's troops.  Wenhan seems to be the natural nemesis of the Ma family.

    Ma Teng sighed miserably and suddenly asked Ma Chao.

    "My son Meng Qi. Do you remember the place where I hid the gold and silk treasures?"

    "My child remembers. My father has saved for many years. With this huge sum of money, why should our Ma family worry about making a comeback!!"

    "Shut up! You are too heavy-handed. If you don't change it, you will die sooner or later!"
