On the other hand, after Cao Cao's soldiers fired their muskets, Han Sui's men were killed and injured.
Those who were lucky enough to survive could only hide behind the wall and tremble, not daring to show their heads at all.
Under such circumstances, how could the rebels be Cao's opponent?
Han Sui swallowed and retreated in his heart.
If he surrendered to Yang Ling at this time, would he spare his life?
Or should he retreat immediately and lead his army to break out from another city gate?
While Han Sui was struggling, Yan Xing, covered in blood, rolled over and crawled on the ground.
"Lord, something bad has happened. Song Jian and the others are attacking!"
Han Sui was surprised at first, then without any hesitation, he immediately ordered,
"Quickly, put down your weapons and surrender to Cao Jun!"
…
After learning that Han Sui had surrendered, Song Jian on the other side stopped very simply and also chose to surrender!
Ji County, which was originally heavily guarded, was successfully occupied by Cao's army without much effort.
After the battle settled, Cao Jun cleaned the battlefield while imprisoning the prisoners.
As for Han Sui, Song Jian, Agui and others, they were all brought to Yang Ling.
County government lobby.
Seeing Han Sui being tied up, Ma Teng couldn't help but sneer and said,
"Wen Yue, when you rebelled, did you ever think about today?"
Han Sui looked embarrassed and forced a smile.
"It was all my fault before. I hope that my brother will remember the past friendship and spare my life!"
"Ah! When you attacked my father, did you ever think about love?"
Ma Chao pointed at Han Sui and yelled.
"Meng Qi must not be rude."
Ma Teng stopped Ma Chao and said respectfully to Yang Ling,
"Let the general decide this matter!"
Yang Ling thought for a while and said to Zhou Cang,
"Except Yan Xing and Cheng Gongying, kill all the thieves led by Han Sui, Li Kan and others!"
"General, spare my life, General!"
Han Sui, who had always been domineering in Xiliang, panicked and quickly begged Yang Ling for mercy.
But Yang Ling turned a deaf ear.
Seeing Han Sui being dragged down, Song Jian couldn't help laughing.
"Han Sui, you are here too?!"
Yang Ling patted his head and pointed at Song Jiandao,
"Drag him down too and chop him down together, so that Han Sui won't be too lonely on the road to hell!"
The smile on Song Jian's face suddenly froze.
Before he could react, several soldiers rushed forward like wolves and tigers and dragged him down together with Han Sui, Candidate, Li Kan and others!
Han Sui is really a two-faced person, keeping him will only be a disaster.
Candidate and Cheng Yi are not talented people. Instead of wasting food, it is better to kill him to set an example.
But Song Jian was a villain who could adapt to the changing circumstances, and he dared to establish himself as king in Liangzhou, and he was also known as the King of Han Dynasty who was equal to the head of the river.
Yang Ling couldn't even keep him!
"Do you know why the general spared the lives of you two?"
Yang Ling looked at Cheng Gongying and Yan Xing and said calmly.
"The sinner knows not."
The two shook their heads.
"Han Sui's crimes are so heinous that we cannot leave him alone. But you two are not like him, so I intend to give you a chance to change your ways. What do you think?"
In history, both Cheng Gongying and Yan Xing had their hearts set on Cao Wei.
Because of this, Yang Ling did not kill them.
The two looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and then said respectfully,
"We are willing to surrender!"
"That's good!"
Yang Ling nodded with satisfaction.
"But sinners have one thing to ask for."
Cheng Gongying said cautiously.
"Mr. Cheng Gong, just tell me. If it is not excessive, I will agree to it."
"Although Han Sui's sins are serious, he is still the lord of sinners."
Cheng Gongying sighed,
"Now that he is dead, the sinner wants to collect his body. I hope the general will do it!"
As expected of Cheng Gongying who was praised by Cao Cao for his loyalty and righteousness, Yang Ling flashed a flash of appreciation in his eyes and nodded in response,
"Okay, I agree!"
"Thank you, General!"
Cheng Gongying handed over.
After dealing with Gong Ying and Yan Xing, Yang Ling looked at the Qiang Di leader aside.
What happened to Han Sui and others is still vivid in our minds.
Agui, Yang Wanwan and others were so frightened that they did not dare to raise their heads and look directly at Yang Ling.
"I know, general, that your rebellion is not only because of Han Sui's coercion, but also because you can no longer survive being bullied, right?"
Yang Ling asked softly.
Agui hesitated for a moment, then nodded honestly and said,
"General Mingjian, we really can't survive!"
During Emperor Wu's period, the Qiang and Di tribes accompanied the Huns to harass the borders of the Han Dynasty many times, so the imperial court was extremely tough on them.
Either suppress them by force or force them to relocate to divide their power.
Coupled with the current belief that "those who are not of my race must have different hearts", the powerful nobles of Liangzhou discriminated and oppressed the Qiang and Di people very severely.
In addition, the Han troops who guarded the border and farmed in the fields also repeatedly invaded the farmland and pastures of the Qiang people.
In this case, the Qiang and Di people were full of resentment, so how could they not raise troops to rebel?
"General, I only have three things to do when I come to Liangzhou."
Yang Ling raised three fingers and said in a deep voice,
"Fair, fair, damn fair!"
"This general can forgive this Qiang and Di rebellion, and I can also assure you that from now on, the imperial court will treat everyone equally, whether they are Qiang, Di, or Han people!"
If this was said by others, Agui, Yang Wanwan, Lei Ding and others would never believe it.
So they have heard similar words too many times.
But these words came from Yang Ling's mouth, so they believed most of them.
Who is Yang Ling?
The great general of the imperial court and the son-in-law of Wei Gong was extremely powerful and resourceful!
Agui and others looked at each other and saluted Yang Ling.
"Thank you so much, General!"
"Don't be too hasty to thank me yet!"
Yang Ling stopped them and said calmly,
"The general also has requirements for you."
"General, please speak."
Agui said respectfully.
"From now on, the Qiang and Di tribes must be loyal to the imperial court forever and must not rebel again."
"You must accept the management of the imperial court and pay taxes in accordance with the law."
"You are allowed to keep your own language and traditions, but the children in your tribe must also receive Han education!"
"..."
Yang Ling stated his request in an orderly manner.
For the Qiang and Di Hu people, these requirements are not particularly excessive.
Therefore, after discussing in low voices for a while, Agui, as the representative, respectfully said to Yang Ling,
"Report to the general, we are willing to comply with your request!"
"very good!"
Yang Ling nodded with satisfaction,
"From today on, you are the same as the Han people, and you are all Han people!"
Agui and other Qiang, Di and Hu people knelt down and saluted Yang Ling.
Yang Ling's demands for these barbarians were similar to those he made for the Wuhuan people.
As long as the Qiang and Di tribes can do this, they will be able to integrate into the Han people after one or two generations.
Even if they are all, there will be no distinction between Hu and Han, let alone any rebellion.
