In the past six months, Meng Qian had been living a rather good life in Western Liang. The 30,000 cavalry under his command had awed Western Liang. Whether it was the rebel army or the foreign tribes, they would be terrified when they heard the name of the Western Liang army!
Countless Outsiders had died in the hands of the Xi Liang Army. In order to completely control the situation in Xi Liang, the Xi Liang Army under Meng Qian's command was still expanding!
Anding County, Beidi County, Hanyang County, and Longxi County were already under Meng Qian's control!
However, Western Liang was too big. It was more than a thousand miles from Anding to Dunhuang in the west. From Wuwei Prefecture onwards, there were various forces mixed together!
The Great Han Dynasty's ruling power was very weak. As the general protecting the Qiang, Meng Qian had the right to suppress the chaos at the border of Western Liang!
30,000 troops were not enough. Meng Qian had expected that he would need at least 100,000 troops to ensure his complete control over Western Liang!
It could absolutely suppress any rebellion or invasion!
However, the fundamental reason was that in the upcoming chaotic times of the Three Kingdoms, he wanted to control his own fate and then control the fate of others!
Meng Qian had to possess absolute strength. One day, the Central Plains would fall into chaos and the rule of the Great Han Dynasty would collapse!
The entry of 100,000 Western Liang cavalry would decide everything in the world! Meng Qian knew that day would come sooner or later. Before that, he had to expand his strength with all his might!
The thirty thousand Western Liang cavalrymen were only enough to threaten the eastern part of Western Liang, which was far from Meng Qian's expectations!
However, he still needed to plan slowly if he wanted to expand the Western Liang Army by 100,000 soldiers! Western Liang's population was a big problem!
And now, Meng Qian was getting married!
His and Dong Xue 'er's marriage had been decided long ago, but it had been delayed because of the tension in the war!
Now, Meng Qian was not young anymore. At the age of twenty-three, children were already born in this era. What about Meng Qian?
Although there were many women, they were all released through lust. It was fine if he had used them, but none of them could be considered Meng Qian's woman!
Of course, his marriage with Dong Xue 'er was more like a political marriage!
Meng Qian's rise to power was not only aided by his brothers from the Meng family, but also by Dong Zhuo!
Everyone said that Dong Zhuo was cruel, but in Meng Qian's eyes, he was a qualified leader. Dong Zhuo was forthright and helpful to his subordinates. Therefore, many Western Liang soldiers really admired him!
Of course, people could change. Today, Dong Zhuo was a man from Western Liang. Meng Qian didn't need to care about what would happen in the future!
Now, he was going to defeat all his enemies at all costs for himself and the fate of the Western Liang Army!
At the same time, he was going to the east of the river to fetch the bride! Bring Dong Xue 'er back! That's right, Dong Zhuo was in Hedong!
Half a year ago, the Western Expedition Army defeated 100,000 rebel soldiers, and Dong Zhuo was conferred the title of Bing Prefecture Overseer!
Just as Meng Qian had expected, when Dong Zhuo led his men to Hedong County, the second imperial edict was sent. Dong Zhuo was to hand over the military power to Huangfu Song and take up his post in Bing Province alone!
However, as a formidable man of his generation, how could Dong Zhuo be willing? Meng Qian's staying in Western Liang had greatly reduced his strength. The remaining 20,000 Western Liang soldiers were his lifeblood!
However, the imperial court's edict had already been issued, and it was impossible to force him to do so. The current Dong Zhuo did not have the guts to defy the imperial edict!
Therefore, he started to play Tai Chi! He told the imperial court that the soldiers of the Western Liang Army had a deep relationship with him and were unwilling to be separated! In any case, he was just trying to avoid handing over military power!
In the end, Dong Zhuo didn't go to Bingzhou to take up his post. Instead, he stayed in Hedong! Using the excuse of the White Wave bandits 'rebellion, he accepted the request of the people and nobles in the east of the river and led the Western Liang army to stay in the east of the river to suppress the bandits!
Exterminate the White Wave Thieves and protect the peace of the people in the east of the river!
After all the trouble, the imperial court was exhausted. There was no other way but to acquiesce to Dong Zhuo's request and give him the position of Hedong Prefecture!
Just like that, Dong Zhuo had retained his military power and allowed the Western Liang army to stay in Hedong. He had even started to play the trick of raising a traitor to gain self-respect. The imperial court did not dare to touch him easily!
Otherwise, the imperial court would be in tears if the 100,000 White Wave Thieves swept through the Si Li!
Dong Zhuo was definitely an ambitious person!
On this day, the army returned triumphantly. The campfire in the camp burned for the entire night. The men of the Western Liang army went crazy because they had received many rewards from Meng Qian!
There was no need to talk about gold and silver, but women were more important!
That night, tens of thousands of sheep were slaughtered, and carts of wine were transported over. The screams of women were connected! The men of the Western Liang Army were shouting excitedly!
In the past six months, the Western Liang army had conquered dozens of foreign tribes. The Jing Temple, which was five kilometers away, had become a small mountain!
He had also snatched tens of thousands of women from the foreign tribes. These women were distributed to the soldiers of the Western Liang Army by Meng Qian. Some of them even had three or four women!
Moreover, many women were pregnant with children of the Western Liang army!
Western Liang's environment was harsh, and population was a big problem. It was precisely because the Han people were dwindling that the Hu people moved inward and slowly occupied Western Liang! It even spread throughout the entire Central Plains!
If he wanted Western Liang to become a part of the Central Plains, he had to have a sufficient population. It was temporarily impossible to move the people inside the pass! Meng Qian could only use his own method to do things!
The bloodline of the Great Han Dynasty had always been based on the paternal line!
These children's fathers were Han Chinese, and they were of Chinese blood. When they grew up, they would inherit their father's position and become the new Western Liang army!
Western Liang's wilderness would eventually develop. Even though it would take a long time, Meng Qian believed that that day would come sooner or later under his rule!
A few days later, as the sun rose, the main gate of the camp let out a heavy sound and slowly opened. The desolate land once again rumbled and trembled violently!
The horses galloped, trampling on the endless yellow sand that filled the sky. A black cavalry crossed the main gate and charged into the desolate world through the yellow sand!
They had strong bodies and fierce faces. They wore neat armor and their cold eyes emitted a bloodthirsty light!
Five thousand Western Liang cavalrymen galloped out of the camp! The powerful aura made people feel a destructive force. Any enemy who stood in the way of the Western Liang army would be mercilessly destroyed!
According to past experience, when Western Liang's cavalry appeared, there would always be a bloody storm in Western Liang!
A massacre was inevitable. It was either the Qiang people, the Di people, the rebel army, the bandits, or the raiders!
The Western Liang army was like a pack of wolves in the wilderness. They were so hungry that they could not be choosers. They cruelly crossed the yellow sand, leaving behind only corpses!
The entire Western Liang was terrified of the Western Liang army!
However, this time, the 5,000 Western Liang cavalrymen did not rush toward Western Liang. Instead, they rushed toward the east, facing the rising sun!
That was the direction of the burly man!
