After the destruction of the Han Dynasty, the central government of the Han Dynasty had no nominal jurisdiction over Liangzhou, and Liangzhou completely let itself go.

It was not until Guo Peng re-established the Han Central Committee that he nominally established the rule of Liangzhou, but Guo Peng only captured four counties, and the four counties in Hexi had not yet truly governed them.

These four counties have begun to let themselves go since the establishment of the Wei Kingdom. Anyway, whose fist is bigger and whose voice is louder, the real jungle law.

Everyone from the county magistrate to the county magistrate can fight for it. As long as the fist is big, there are several people who call themselves the governor of Liangzhou.

There are several county magistrates who fight each other, and there are several county magistrates who fight each other, from top to bottom, fighting for power and profit every day, fighting for that little pitiful resource.

There is no unified leader in the four Hexi counties that can order all of them.

The most powerful county is Zhangye County, but it only occupies several counties, barely having an influence on Zhangye County, and the other three counties are miniaturized warlord separatism.

Han warlords, Qiang warlords, and mixed Hu forces, all the forces were intertwined, and no one could do anything to each other. During the years when the Wei army had not intervened, they had a very pleasant struggle.

Guo Peng blocked the four counties in Hexi to a certain extent, and did not let anyone touch his chassis.

He only allowed a certain number of business travelers to trade at a few designated locations in Hanyang County. There were military guards around him and no one was allowed to enter unauthorized areas, so the four Hexi counties had little knowledge of the Wei State.

The news of the full march was naturally blocked, so when Cao Xiu and Zhang Fei's army began to rage in Wuwei County, the warlords of Wuwei woke up as if they were dreaming.

But can they still unite against the Wei army at this time?

Impossible.

Zhang Fei and Cao Xiu are both fighting generals who like to fight. With their superior forces and superior equipment, they almost swept through all the resistance they encountered.

The steps are still old steps. First capture the county town, then use the county town as the core, go out to attack the powerful manors, demolish the forts, kill the powerful men, seize the population, and restore order.

The Wei army's actions have their own set of rules and tactics, and it is simply a flat push against the armies of powerful forces of all sizes.

The army of powerful and powerful forces of all sizes cannot be said to be not fierce. On the contrary, they are quite fierce, and they are angry if they don’t kill people, and they live a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife.

But no matter how fierce the mob is, it is a mob.

There is no unified order to advance and retreat, no unified mature military formations and tactics, strong individualism and advocate personal courage.

As for equipment, there are different levels. There are elites who wear well-dressed armor and steel knives, and there are also cannon fodders who hold wooden sticks and foxes who pretend to be powerful.

Their tactics are very simple.

The cannon fodders are in front and the elites are in the back. After the war begins, the cannon fodders come forward and fight in a mess. Then, under the leadership of the main general, the elites find the right time to charge and fight with the opponent's elites to decide the victory or defeat. Whoever loses first will lose.

If all the elite lose, the cannon fodders will not keep up and will definitely turn around and run away.

He is not very active in fighting, but his legs are very good at running away.

It's probably the process.

Some people with wealth and cavalry are like tigers in battle.

The cannon fodders fought, the elite duels, the cavalry added icing on the cake to fight with cavalry and shooting, or pulled out steel knives to charge each other, fighting for several rounds until the winner was decided.

It is an indisputable fact that Liangzhou people are fierce and have strong individual combat effectiveness.

But no matter how strong a single soldier is, he will be dead end when encountering a military formation.

So they died.

Cao Xiu and Zhang Fei marched all the way, sweeping all the forces in Wuwei County, with no taboos or any worries. Anyway, those who disobey would be killed.

The order Guo Peng gave was also very simple, called "swallowing".

The generals of the Wei Emperor ** team understand what it means.

That is literal flattening.

Destroy all the forts, kill all the powerful, seize all the population, and lay the foundation for the Wei Empire to build and develop Liangzhou.

So wherever Cao Xiu and Zhang Fei went, the powerful people, regardless of Han, Qiang, or Hu, wiped out, destroyed the fort, seized the population, killed the powerful people, and established a new order belonging to the Wei Kingdom.

The powerful Wei Empire began to extend its ruling area to the four counties of Hexi.

These miniature warlords in troubled times did not fail to resist.

They tried hard to resist, relying on their respective docks to resist, and even joined forces to build docks to build a docks community, trying to curb the Wei army's attack in this way.

The cavalry of the Wei army was a fierce cavalry they had never seen before. Under the leadership of Zhang Fei and Cao Xiu, they each defeated countless separatist tyrants who fought head-on with them.

So the remaining separatist warlords did not dare to leave their own forts, and chose not to go out, defend their own forts, faced the Wei army's cavalry with a defensive attitude, and refused to go out to fight.

They felt that this would curb the Wei army's cavalry.

Indeed, in the face of such a situation, the Wei army's cavalry did not have a good idea, but who told them that the Wei army only had strong cavalry?

The Northwest Corps did achieve comprehensive cavalry mobility, but before becoming a cavalry, they were quite excellent and tough infantry.

As pioneers, they did not carry heavy weapons, but the main force led by Cao Ren carried heavy weapons. The main force led by Cao Ren was also very good at attacking this type of dock.

The soldiers got off the horse, assembled the catapult, and then faced the not-so-tall fort. With a command, huge rocks flew around and fire was shining. A large number of forts were broken and torn apart under the long-range attack of the Wei army, and the fort defense was declared to end.

On May 13, the third year of Yande, the main force of the Wei army advanced to the foot of Guzang County, Wuwei County. At that time, Cao Xiu had already led his troops to surround Guzang County and carried out the tactic of surrounding and attacking aid for a while. However, there were not many heavy weapons and it was difficult to conquer Guzang County.

So just surround me and wait for work.

After Cao Ren's main force arrived, his operation was as fierce as a tiger. In just one and a half days, Guzang County was broken under the fierce attack of the Wei army.

Then Cao Ren ordered the army to scatter out and wipe out the densely packed strongholds, sweep them one by one, and erase them one by one.

I have to say that under the long-term unregulated state, there are really many powerful forts on the boundaries of the four counties in Hexi.

Moreover, not only the Han people had strong houses, but even some Qiang tribes learned from the Han people to build houses.

The reason is that the local area kills and attacks too frequently. If you don’t set up a fort to protect yourself, it is difficult to say that you will be stolen one night and then taken away.

The Han powerful men would use the fort to protect themselves, and then attack other forces without the fort protection. If they can beat them, they will be in a flash. If they can't beat them, they will be pushed back to defend the city. The Qiang people suffered a great loss.

After suffering many losses from the Han people, whether it is the Qiang people, the remaining Huns, or other miscellaneous Hus, as long as they are on the scale, they all learn to build forts to protect themselves, enclose land and defend themselves, and then go out to attack other enemies.

The battle between cavalry has been reduced a lot, and infantry offensive and defensive wars have become the mainstream.

Under the premise of the manor economy, everyone has achieved self-sufficiency in a certain sense. The scattered soldiers and stragglers gradually lost the foundation for survival. If they don’t build a fort, they really can’t survive.

So much so that the four counties in Hexi are full of forts.

Walking around the county town, you can see the docks and simple walls connected everywhere, and even small villages and towns. There are earthen walls outside, and the separation between each other is quite serious.

This is unforgivable to the Wei army.

The Wei Empire refused to be separatist, and the Wei Empire chose to unify.
