Chapter 628
Jincheng, Wuwei, Zhangye and other prefectures all sent envoys to ask for their surrender. Liu Bei then set up the Liangzhou Inspector Department, with Zhong Yao as the Inspector, Zhang Ji as Jincheng Prefect, Yang Qiu as Jincheng Duwei, and divided Jincheng County into Poqiang and Linqiang. The four counties are Xiping County. Juyan is the prefect, Jiang Shi is the captain, Yang Fu is the prefect of Zhangye, Luan is the prefect, Zhang Jin is the order of Zhangye, Ma Teng is the general who protects the Qiang and sits in Jincheng and Longxi, and Cheng Gongying is the Siyi Pavilion The Xiqiang Ling is in charge of all information in the Xiliang Qiang land.

Jiuquan Huanghua and Dunhuang sent envoys to surrender, and Liu Bei used Huanghua as the prefect of Jiuquan to supervise Dunhuang at the same time. From then on, Jiuquan and Dunhuang began to be at odds.

At the end of August in the second year of Xingping, the rain in Jincheng decreased. Liu Bei ordered Cheng Gongying, Zhang Ji and others to rebuild the embankment of the Yellow River, and at the same time began to farm in the Jincheng area.

So far, the fighting in Xiliang subsided, and Liu Bei led his army back to Chang'an.

It took Liu Bei five months to finally pacify Xiliang. The princes from all over the country were greatly shaken. The most influential one was in the middle of Shu. Guan Yu and Zhao Wei still confronted each other in Qianwei Jiangyang. However, Gan Ning, the captain of the Louchuan under his command, led thousands of sailors into Yizhou county.

Yizhou County, also known as Jianning County, is an ancient place name in China, covering today's Yunnan Province.This place used to be the territory of the Dian Kingdom of the "Nanban" ancient kingdom. Yizhou County was established by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the county was located in Dianchi County.

Yongkai, a wealthy family in Yizhou County, led his private soldiers to fight against him, but was defeated by Gan Ning. Then Gan Ning led his troops into Dianchi Lake, and Liu Zhang, king of Shu, surrendered to Gan Ning at the suggestion of his subordinate Wang Shang.

Afterwards, Gan Ning denounced Zhao Wei, Pang Xi and others in the name of Liu Zhang, and called on the officials of Zangcang County, Yuejun County, Yongchang County, and Shu County to surrender to the Lucheng Army.

The first to respond to Gan Ning's call was Zhu Bao, an official of Cang County. Zhu Bao beheaded the prefect of Cang and joined the Lucheng Army.

In a blink of an eye, most of the Shu land became the back garden of the Lucheng Army almost overnight. Pang Xi, who was staying at the CD, almost vomited blood and died. How could this be so?

What Pang Xi didn't expect was that outside Luocheng, Zhang Ren entered Luocheng alone to persuade Yan Yan to surrender. After Yan Yan read the letters from brothers Liu Fan and Liu Zhang, his perseverance was shaken. His behavior of sticking to Luocheng is also meaningless.

Gan Ning led his army from Dianchi Lake around Yongchang and Yuejun all the way to the vassal state of Shu County.

Pang De and Zhao Yun went up the river and directly attacked Pi County.

The general of Pi County surrendered immediately.

Once Pi County was lost, CD was shaken, the guard of Xindu immediately surrendered, the grain road in Luocheng was cut off, and Luocheng became an isolated city. Yan Yan finally surrendered to the Lucheng Army under the persuasion of the generals.

CD suddenly became an isolated city, Jiangyang Zhao Wei saw the situation and surrendered to Guan Yu, Guan Yu ordered him to be the vanguard, divided his troops into two groups to go to CD and ordered Zhang Ren to send troops to serve as a vassal state.

The news that Pang Xi was sitting on the CD was lost everywhere, and Pang Xi committed suicide by burning fire in the CD. Pang De and Zhao Yunbu took the opportunity to enter the CD.

Liu Bei appointed Guan Yu as the governor of Yizhou, Fazheng, Zhang Song, and Peng Yang as the governor of the prefecture, Zhizhong, and Biejia, Wang Shangweiqian as the prefect, Yan Yan as the prefect of Bajun, and Wang Ling as the prefect of Shujun. Pang De was the prefect of Shu County, Yong Kai was the prefect of Yizhou County, Gao Ding was the prefect of Yuejun, Zhu Bao was the prefect of Cang, Chen Shi was the prefect of Yongchang, and Li Yan was the prefect of Yongchang.

He also recruited Liu Zhang, Liu Mao brothers, Wu Kuang, Dong Fu, Zhao Wei, Ren An and other famous people to Chang'an.

General Jin, Zhang Yun, Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren, Gan Ning, Meng Da and others led the army back to Chang'an.

For a time, famous generals gathered in Chang'an, and the eyes of the world turned to Chang'an again. At the same time, Sun Ce swept across the six counties in the east of the Yangtze River.

Liu Bei won decisive victories in Xiliang and Bashu, but Shanggu and Daijun, which were attached to the Lucheng Army, were in ruins.

Since the beginning of June, under the instigation of Xu You, Bai Zhishan, and Sima Yi, Xianbei Shanyu Budugen recruited Ke Bineng, Murong Deng who fled back to Danhan Mountain alone, Suli, the master of Xianbei in the east, and the handsome Mijia and Que. A total of [-] cavalry rushed into Shanggu and Daijun.

With Xu You as the leading party, Daijun and Shanggu became the leaping grounds for Xianbei cavalry.

Hao Wen and Guo Duan of Dai Commandery fought several battles with Xianbei, and at first defeated the Xianbei cavalry with the advantage of armored weapons, but were besieged by the Xianbei cavalry because of their arrogance.

Although Hao Wen and Guo Duan tried their best to break out of the siege, most of the army was lost, and they had to defend the city separately, and at the same time ordered people to ask Zhang Liao of Yanmen for help.

Dai County and Shanggu are both under the jurisdiction of the governor of Youzhou, so logically both counties should ask Gongsun Zan, the governor of Youzhou, for help.

However, since Gongsun Zan beheaded Liu Yu, the gentry in Youzhou were very dissatisfied with him, especially Shanggu and Daijun became the strongholds against Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Zan always wanted to wipe out the two counties, but Yuan Shao repeatedly attacked Gongsun Zan. It is intentional but powerless to the second county.

As Lucheng's goods passed through Shanggu and Daijun into Xianbei and Wuhuan, the two counties had a stronger sense of belonging to Lucheng's army. In addition, Liu Bei's recommended general Jiao Chu defended the army, so Gongsun Zan could concentrate on going north or south.

Therefore, the two counties asked Yanmen for help at the critical moment of life and death.

As mentioned above, the Lucheng Army needs a letter of talisman to mobilize troops and horses. Zhang Liao received information from the two counties asking for help, but he could not easily send troops to rescue him.

The Xianbei cavalry were good at field battles but not good at attacking cities. Although the leader vigorously promoted Han culture in the past few years, equipped with Han-style armor, vigorously recruited Han craftsmen, and prepared to forge armor by himself.

It's a pity that the leader died early, and Bu Dugen was in power for a short time and there were many crises. For this reason, he didn't have time to wait for the craftsmen to cast their own armor, so he could only buy it. Over time, he could only buy strategic materials, such as knives, arrows, etc. As for armor, leather armor is pretty good.

The policy that the leader insisted on for several years was ruined by Budugen for a year. Coupled with the subconscious instigation of the white paper fan and Xu You, Budugen believed that buying is better and faster than making it yourself.

Therefore, although Bu Dugen was in the two counties, he did not cause much damage to the strong cities of the two counties, which gave the Lucheng Army the opportunity to dispatch troops.

Tai Shici and Zhang Baiqi blocked the path of Taihang Mountain to prevent Xianbei cavalry from entering Bingzhou from the mountain path.

The guard of the Xiongnu Zhonglang Han served as the governor of the Xiongnu Chanyu Fuluo, and the Xianbei Shanyu Jianman attacked Danhan Mountain from the grassland.

Zhang Liao dispatched troops from Yunzhong, Wuyuan, and Yanmen counties to defend Baideng and Pingcheng. Huang Zhong also dispatched troops to Jinyang to prepare for the Xianbei cavalry who might sneak into the hinterland of Bingzhou.

The system of the Lucheng Army made all the counties and county lieutenants prepare their troops and train their horses, ready to fight. However, the biggest problem was exposed. The generals did not belong to each other, and they could easily be defeated by Xianbei one by one.
