After receiving the order from Wei Yan, Cheng Gongying immediately rushed to Zhangye and persuaded the Zhangye prefect to surrender. At that time, the Zhangye prefect was originally a general of Han Sui. Later, because Cheng Yi went to war with Han Sui, Cheng Yi's younger brother Cheng Ji was temporarily replaced by Cheng Yi's younger brother Cheng Ji. Because Cheng Yi was killed by Ma Teng, he was also a colleague of Cheng Gongying and was of the same clan. Cheng Gongying persuaded Cheng Ji to surrender to Wei Yan on the grounds that Cheng Yi took revenge. Cheng Ji agreed to surrender to Wei Yan without any thoughts when he heard this.

On the one hand, it is the hatred of killing brothers, and on the other hand, it is the persuasion of brothers in clans. Chengji naturally has nothing to hesitate about.

After learning the news, Wei Yan was naturally overjoyed. He didn't expect that the benefits of human verbalism were so powerful. Chen Gongying's slutty tongue could be regarded as an army of tens of thousands.

Under such circumstances, Wei Yan obtained the entire Zhangye without any effort, including the two foreign ethnic groups, the Zhangye vassal state and the Juyan vassal state.

Among these two vassal states, the main people living in Zhangye were Lushuihu people, and the main people living in Juyan were Qiang people. The Lushuihu people were branches of the Xiongnu. They had already heard of the surrender of the Xiongnu royal court and knew the strength of the Han army. Even the huge power of the Xiongnu was taken over. He was just a branch of the Xiongnu, and his strength was less than 30% of the Xiongnu. If he wanted to resist stubbornly, he was simply seeking death, so Lushuihu chose to surrender immediately.

Most of the Qiang people in Juyan's country were favored by Han Sui. Now that Han Sui is killed, they are willing to avenge Han Sui, so they quickly chose to surrender.

The Juyan vassal state has tens of thousands of elite cavalrymen. These people belong to the commander of the vassal state commander. Of course, under normal circumstances, they are also under the command of the Zhangye prefect. This "general" means that the court has the strength to control these vassal states. If the strength of the court declines, these alien races may also rebel.

Of course, after the Battle of Liangzhou, Wei Yan defeated Han Sui, which made these people realize the strength of the Han army. Therefore, the Lushui Hu people in Juyan's vassal state were quite obedient and did not dare to have any dissent.

Not long after Zhangye surrendered, news came that Huang Yan, the prefect of Jiuquan, came. It turned out that Huang Yan was the accomplice who was gathered together by Han Sui to rebel. He had always had close relationships with Han Sui in recent years. However, the reason why he chose to surrender was not only because of revenge for Han Sui, but mainly because of the situation. Now Han Sui, among the two major princes of Xiliang, was killed. Ma Tengyuan was far away in Longxi and Jincheng. At the same time, Huang Yan also knew that Wei Yan was very strong and was definitely not an opponent with his own strength. He had to choose to surrender in order to protect himself.

In this way, only one Dunhuang was left in the four counties of Hexi. The Dunhuang prefect was named Ma Ai, a native of Fufeng, and he was of the same clan as Ma Teng. Although Ma Ai did not have any contact with his clan brother, Han Sui was still very cautious about him, so he arranged him to Dunhuang in the westmost direction as the prefect. However, Ma Ai did not complain, but worked diligently to his prefect, and instead governed Dunhuang in an orderly manner.

In fact, during this period, Ma Teng sent someone to secretly find Ma Ai to persuade him to rebel and respond to Ma Teng. However, Ma Ai flatly refused, because what Ma Ai cares about is the people of Dunhuang County under his jurisdiction, and he doesn't care who owns it here at all.

Of course, on the other hand, Ma Ai felt that since he belonged to Liangzhou, he would naturally be under the jurisdiction of the governor of Liangzhou, which had nothing to do with Ma Teng, the governor of Yongzhou.

When Cheng Gongying came here to persuade the surrender, Ma Ai naturally accepted it because Ma Ai had long been under the rule of the governor of Liangzhou. Now the governor of Liangzhou sent people to recruit surrender, which represented the court. What reasons do he have to refuse?

So under the persuasion of Cheng Gongying, all counties and divisions of Zhangye, Jiuquan and Wuwei counties all surrendered. Wei Yan unified the entire Liangzhou except Jincheng within just one month.

Under such circumstances, Ma Teng did not dare to attack Pei Qing's army easily. He knew that since his general Pang De surrendered to Pei Qing and his son Ma Chao and others became protons, there were no powerful generals in his army that could be comparable to Wei Yan. Moreover, Pei Qing has gathered tens of thousands of troops to prepare to conquer Cao Cao, but he dare not touch Pei Qing's bad luck at this time.

Ma Teng's attitude naturally gave Wei Yan enough time to consolidate his rule in Liangzhou. Not long after, Wei Yan's status was recognized by the counties and states of Liangzhou.

The happy Wei Yan immediately reported the good news to Pei Qing and praised Gong Ying's achievements in it.

Not long after, Pei Qing's order came over and ordered Cheng Gongying to go to Chang'an to review his merits. At the same time, he sent an order to use Duan Tong as the prefect of Zhangye, and to serve as the General of the Central Army of the Qiang, and to serve as the Chief of the State of Yan.

Wei Yan was actually very surprised when he heard Pei Qing's appointment of Duan Tong, because he knew Duan Tong's ability. With Duan Tong's talent at most, he could only serve as an ordinary lieutenant. However, now he is not only the prefect of Zhangye, but also directly commands tens of thousands of Qiang soldiers in Juyan's vassal state. You must know that Qiang people generally advocate heroes. If Duan Tong does not have enough courage and command ability, it will be difficult for them to recognize.

"The lord is not a person who uses improper people. His appointment is usually just right. Now that Duan Tong is appointed like this, this is enough to prove that Duan Tong now has the ability to command tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Juyan's vassal state. Does this mean that the lord has given Duan Tong spiritual medicine?"

Thinking of this, Wei Yan felt a sense of heat in his heart, and at the same time he couldn't help but feel a little jealous. He felt a little sour. Duan Tong was lucky that he had obtained the spiritual medicine so easily. He worked so hard before and after, but he had not yet obtained the spiritual medicine.

So as soon as I saw Duan Tong, Wei Yan said with a little sourness, "Congratulations to Brother Duan for his transformation and great strength. As long as I work hard, I will definitely not lose my title of marquis and generals in the future. Even if I take charge of one side, it is not impossible."

However, Duan Tong said with a red face, "General Wei is too good. This is the grace of the lord. It can allow Tong to gain the ability to compete with his grandfather Ji Ming, but the lord said that the experience of the lord is not enough. It takes Mo General Wei's command for several years to truly be comparable to Ji Ming. As for the general, the lord asked me to tell the general that the general only needs to wait with peace of mind. Once Mr. Cheng returns smoothly, he will order the general to go to Chang'an to confess his merits, and he will not be able to receive the immortal medicine at that time."

"Ah? Lord, what did the lord really say?" Wei Yan said with disbelief after hearing this.

"Of course, otherwise, how dare I make up such false words to deceive the general?" Duan Tong was very proud. He felt that all this was a dream until now. In a blink of an eye, he actually had the ability to be comparable to his deceased grandfather Duan Bing?
