After instructing all the things in Luoyang, Cao Chong took 13,000 people and embarked on the journey to Liangzhou.
Thirteen thousand people are not much, but it is definitely not less.
Military rations and supplies, carriages and soldiers, stretched for several miles, for fear of disconnection, so Cao Chong's marching speed was definitely not fast.
In this era, there are no roads, some places have roads, and some places can only go out of one way, and even encounter a river, and have to build bridges, and the speed is getting slower and slower.
However, this is also a bit beneficial to Cao Chong, originally he didn't have a good rest in Luoyang, but he got a rest on the road.
At the same time, you can also think about what will happen after you arrive in Liangzhou.
There are eight counties in Liangzhou, Jincheng, Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang, Xihai, Xiping, and Xijun, of which Wuwei is the seat of Liangzhou.
Wuwei has a total of 10 counties, including Guzang, Zhangye, Wuwei, Xiutu, Ci, Luanniao, Pu, Yuanwei, Cangsong and Xuanwei.
And Wuwei's place of governance is Guzang.
As the center of Liangzhou, Wuwei and Guzang bring together most of the Liangzhou families, including Guzang Jiajia, Guzang Duan, Wuwei Cao, Wuwei Zuwan Zhang and so on.
These four are all considered big families in Liangzhou.
In Wuwei, the most powerful family is naturally the Guzang Jia family, and now that Jia Xu has returned, this family makes Cao Chong the most fearful, followed by the Guzang Duan family, and then the Wuwei Cao family, and the Wuwei Zuwan Zhang family is the second.
The reason why Guzang Duan's family made Cao Chong jealous was because he had the deepest roots in Liangzhou and had extremely deep historical roots.
The surname of the Chinese nation has a history of more than 5,000 years, and the record of the origin of the surname can be traced back to the pre-Qin period.
However, after experiencing the historical gap and the confusion of writing and culture during the Warring States Period, it is already difficult to trace the ancestors after the two Han Dynasty.
However, Cao Chong is now in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and there are still some classics that explain the origin of this family.
In Yecheng, Cao Chong knows the roots of this family.
The Guzang Duan clan is from the ghost clan, also known as the ghost party and the ghost fang clan.
Emperor Dai Li's lineage: "Wu Hui was born by Lu Zhong, and Lu Zhong's family married the Ghost Fang family."
The sister of the ghost Fang clan is called the female clan".
The eighth note of the Later Chronicle of the History of the Road quotes the Shiben Emperor lineage: "The sister and daughter of the monarch of the ghost country".
It can be seen that when the emperor was born, the ghost clan was an independent clan.
The ghost tribe lived in the southwestern part of present-day Shanxi, and before the Shang and Zhou dynasties, they had been stuck in an unequal clan society, known as the era of chiefdoms.
The deeds of the ghost clan in the early and late Shang Dynasty are not recorded in the oracle bone inscriptions and documents, and when the ghost clan is mentioned in the literature, it is already the late Shang period after Wuding.
Zhou Yi Jiji: "Ninety-three, Gaozong cut the ghost party, three years of grams", Weiji: "Earthquake with ghost recipe, three years, rewarded in a big country", Bamboo Book Chronicle: "{Wu Ding} thirty-two years of killing ghosts, second to Jing", "{Wu Ding} thirty-four years, Wang Shike ghost Fang, Diqiang guests".
It is said that the Shang king Wuding once waged a war against the ghost side for three years.
After the Wudingke Ghost Fang, the ghost clan was divided into two parts, one of which became a Fang State Ghost Fang of the Shang Dynasty.
The leader of the ghost side, known in the historical books as "Ghost Hou" and "Nine Marquis", the ghost marquis in the Yin Dynasty was one of the three princes of the Shang Dynasty.
Historical records of Yin Benji: "Xibochang, Jiuhou, and Ehou are the three dukes", among which the "Nine Marquis", the collection of explanations quotes Xu Guang to say: "A ghost marquis"; and the Warring States Policy Zhao Ce San: "The former ghost marquis, the marquis of E, the king of Wen, and the three princes of the Emperor are also."
This is enough to prove that the status of the ghost marquis should be extraordinary.
The other part of the ghost clan continued to be hostile to the Central Plains Dynasty in a state of planting, and they were later surnamed Chidi.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, although the Chidi tribes, another part of the descendants of the ghost clan, although there were people who migrated to other places, generally still lived in the southeast of Jin and lived together with the Jin people.
Chi Di is also known as Zhai, Di, Zhai Clan, Chi Zhai, Di Zhai, Zhai Guo, etc., mainly composed of Lu Clan, Gaoluo Clan, Liuhu Clan, Jia Clan, Duochen Clan, Guiru Clan, Di Clan, Yuan Su's Clan, Hu Lu Clan, Xie Pi Clan, Gu Guardian Clan, Strange Jin Clan and other fifteen clans.
Among them, there are six larger tribal groups, which are called the Lu Clan, the Jia Clan, the Gaoluo Clan, the Liuhu Clan, the Duochen Clan, and the Guiru Clan, which are known as the Chidi Six or Chi Zhai Six and Di Zhai Six in history, which are the strongest and most influential Di tribes in the Spring and Autumn Period.
In 660 B.C., Chidi was oppressed by the Jin State and went east to Taihang to "cut down Xing and destroy the guard", and then attacked Zheng, Eastern Zhou, Qi and other countries.
Beginning in the sixth century B.C., the Jin kingdom began to continue to attack the Chidi tribes on a large scale.
In the thirteenth year of King Ji Yu of Zhou Ding {594 B.C.), the Jin army attacked Chidi on a large scale and wiped out the Chidi Lu tribe.
In the fourteenth year of King Ding of Zhou {593 B.C.), the Jin army destroyed the Chidijia clan, the Liuhu clan and the Duochen clan.
By the fourth year of King Jing of Zhou {541 BC), the tribes of Chidiman, Luo, and Yu were also destroyed by the Jin State.
At this point, the tribe surnamed Chidi Kui was basically swallowed up by the Jin State, and most of the Chidi people were reduced to the Jin State and became subjects of the Jin State.
Another part of the Chidi people migrated north, which was the Gaoche tribe of the later Han Dynasty, also known as Ding Ling.
And the Guzang Duan family is a member of the Gaoche clan, specifically, they are no longer Han people, but Sinicized aliens.
The Gaoche clan, in today's Liangzhou, accounts for one-tenth of the population, which should not be underestimated, which is why Cao Chong only ranked them after Gu Zang Jia's family.
As for Wuwei Cao's family, although his surname is Cao, he has nothing to do with Cao Chong.
They are not even Han Chinese, but descendants of the Sogdian Cao clan in Central Asia.

Speaking of which, among the families in Liangzhou, there are four families surnamed Cao, and each of them is not bad, namely Wuwei Cao's, Anding Cao's, Longxi Cao's, and Dunhuang Cao's.
Among them, the Dunhuang Cao clan is the origin clan, and the others, whether they are Wuwei Cao or Anding Cao, are all separated from the Dunhuang Cao clan, but they have only developed later.
Of course, if these four families are considered to be top families in Liangzhou, Cao Chong will definitely put the Wuwei Cao family in a place that is more prominent than the Guzang Duan family, but although the Wuwei Cao family and the Anding Cao family are separated from the Dunhuang Cao family, the relationship is not only not good, but it is also bound to become fire and water, as for the dirty things, Cao Chong doesn't have to think about it, and he knows that there are a lot.
As for the Wuwei Zuwan Zhang clan, they are indeed pure Han people, but they were sent to Liangzhou, and they were also considered to be members of the court during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but their power is not as good as these families.
Thinking of the family of Wuwei County, Cao Chong had already had his own plans.
First of all, if it is not my race, its heart will be different, Cao Chong's focus is to rely on the Jia family, with the help of the power of the Zuwan Zhang clan, and then let the Wuwei Cao clan and the Guzang Duan clan consume each other, and then Cao Chong will sit and reap the benefits.
However, this set of operations is easy to say, but it is not so simple to do.
Just when Cao Chong was full of plans, the team suddenly stopped.
Cao Chong was stunned and immediately understood something.
