chapter six hundred and eighty second.
Although the two Han dynasties were separated by decades, Wang Hou really admired the Western Han Dynasty and was particularly depressed by the Eastern Han Dynasty. The rich families that were suppressed in the Western Han Dynasty all rose up in the Eastern Han Dynasty, turning the Han Empire, which was originally dominated by self-cultivating farmers' economy into a weak central empire with feudal gentry manors. There was a reason why the power of the central court at the end of the Han Dynasty was weak, and the entire Guandong was immediately divided.
Also, Liu Xiu's ethnic policy, putting surrender to Hu in the Han area was not a bad thing, but in the later period, you had to be interested in educating and assimilating them! For more than 100 years in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu gave up the grassland and took root in the Hetao. The Qiang people occupied the Loess Plateau, and the Qiang Jie Di tribes invaded half of Liangzhou. This was all because the Qiang people occupied Guanzhong in the late Western Jin Dynasty, the Xiongnu were the first to poison the Central Plains, and the Jie people riots laid the root of disaster.
Now it’s his turn to Wang Hou to deal with the time bomb tied up in the Han Empire!
And the solution! Although it seems a bit popular with foreigners, Wang Hou still plans to do it according to the form of a Western military strongman he admires! That person is Caesar!
Several Roman legions went to Gaul to fight, killing one million people! One million people were sold as slaves! Only one million people were left behind. In the end, the proud and warlike Gaul rooster completely became a province of the Roman Empire. The Gauls also worshipped Caesar as a god!
Aren’t you going to start a war against me? Then I will fight you well!
During the day, the land is fair when looking for mountains and forests to lurk in the night. The Guanzhong Plain does not have a good defense against the Dongqiang, which entrenches the Loess Plateau. The Dongqiang also has no ability to resist the invasion of Guanzhong. After leaving Chang'an night, he lurks for three nights, more than 11,000 troops sneak into the Loess Plateau like ghosts.
It has to be said that the ecology of the Loess Plateau more than a thousand years ago was much stronger than that of later generations. The vegetation covering the Loess Plateau was not destroyed too much by the expanded population, and the rain did not water the barren ridges of later generations. Although there were also valleys, it was not like the desolation of the Loess Plateau in those photography works.
Moreover, it seems to be a little different from the nomadic Dongqiang, which Wang Hou imagined.
Relying on the towering loess cliff, the hollows that were rough but very similar to the caves in later generations were dug up on them like termites, and neat paths were trampled out in the village.
The Qiang people did raise livestock, and they only relied on the village not far away. Large groups of cattle and sheep were tied to the gate of the fence. However, at the same time, their arable land area was not small. There were large areas of farmland scattered below the village where the caves gathered. A large number of farmland was scattered. In more than October, a crop had been harvested, and messy millet piles were everywhere.
No wonder, the Xiongnu people who occupied the entire grassland had a population of more than one million at their peak, but the Western Qiang and Eastern Qiang had a population of more than one million at the peak, and now there are 600,000 to 700,000. Moreover, this has been wars for many years, and they have been slaughtering overwhelmingly like Duan Ji of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Moreover, the Qiang people here are not all of the Qiang people. There are nomadic Qiang people on the Qinghai grassland. Wang Hou has also read some classics. In the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, nearly 500,000 Qiang people were migrated to Shu.
Closely close to the nomadic people, the Qiang people could not reproduce and feed so many people. They also mastered farming techniques in large quantities. Looking from a distance, it was almost the same as the Han people's village on the loess slopes in later generations.
However, this is also a crisis for Wang Hou! In previous melee, there were less than 300,000 Han people in Hanzhong, Guandong, Guanzhong. Even if there were 300,000 Han people in Liangzhou, there were only 600,000 yuan, and the number of Qiang people has exceeded that of Han people!
Wang Hou didn't want the Qiang people to rule, and the Former Qin Dynasty of Yao Chang and his son was tinkered with!
Moreover, the Qiang people are still eyeing his Guanzhong regime. In the night, a large number of Qiang people have gathered. I don’t know that tens of thousands of people are just disheveled and lying in the wilderness under the village, densely packed like termites.
The ones reflecting the moonlight shining and the cold light were probably what Sima Yi said, the weapons and equipment supported by the Bingzhou gentry to the Dong Qiang.
However, looking at this scene, Wang Hou's mouth with a mustache still couldn't help but curl up an extra strong sneer.
It's not just a knife to call the army. The Qiang people who were still from the primitive clan were too scattered. He didn't see any military formation. Moreover, even if he accepted the support of the Bingzhou gentry, compared with Wang Hou's Liao army, the equipment gap between these Qiang people was like the distance between the Raik militia and the Mi army. Many Qiang people with hair were even half-armed and had a knife on their bodies. They were typical thugs.
"I know why Duan Bing has less than 10,000 troops enough to sweep Qiang Liang!"
Putting down the telescope, Wang Hou couldn't help but show a strong sneer.
"Brother-in-law, how can we fight?" Feishang Chinese
It is true that Cao Cao has evaluated Cao Zhang as a good general in history. He followed Wang Hou as a night owl for several days and nights and lurked on the loess high slope. Seeing Wang Hou put down his telescope, he couldn't help but show a bloodthirsty and warlike excitement. He hugged his fists and asked quickly, but Wang Hou shook his head heavily.
"No hurry!"
Looking at the messy Qiang soldiers gathered in the night and the undulating terrain that scattered across the loess high and high slopes, Fu Nao Hou's eyes with an extremely dazzling look.
"This is a great opportunity! At least half of the Dongqiang thieves can be solved!"
Now Sima Yi has obviously not had the long-term supervisor to develop that kind of tough physique. Recently, he was beaten by feudal privilege. He was confused by the side of the horse. Wang Hou led Zhuge Ying, Zhao Yun, Deng Ai and other staff officers to observe the enemy situation, and then kicked the old Sima thief on the butt.
"Let's go!"
"Daxingtai, you might as well kill the officials! My face!"
…………
The sun rose again without changing overnight, and the sun on the loess high slope seemed to be more warmer than the sun on the Guanzhong Plain, making people wilted.
On this day, the Qiang people gathered some people again, which was really a fighting nation. With a shout, the young people in the village followed them out with knives, axes, or even hoes. Fighting a war is that simple!
In the afternoon, it seemed that the people and horses had almost gathered together. The Qiang chiefs wearing sheep skulls on their heads and small braids on their hair and turquoise were also exposed. They surrounded the fire, and the faces were covered with ochre. The Qiang wizard, who looked a bit like the Indians, led a dozen cows over. On the edge of the stone mortar at the front of the village, the knife was cut hard on the cow's neck. In the whistle of the cow, the hot cow blood quickly filled the stone mortars.
The warriors in the Qiang tribe carried swords forward, touching two bloody ducts on their foreheads and cheeks.
The bloody Qiang soldiers howled excitedly, and the atmosphere seemed particularly terrifying and weird.
All this fell into San Xiaoqiang's eyes again. Putting down the telescope, Deng Ai clasped his fists helplessly, and asked with a sad face.
"Three Young Master! The lord almost beat me the last time. Please, go back!"
"Where is this? Such a dangerous task, if you don't follow you, who will follow you? Isn't it! Brother Dongsheng?"
Seeing Cao Zhang's slutty patting Officer Deng on the shoulder, Xu Yue shrugged helplessly.
"The Qiang people's expedition ceremony is about to be held! If you want to do it, as soon as possible!"
"That's it! Xiao Aizi is just slapping and slapping, like a woman!"
He was so angry that he stuttered. He didn't want to talk to this playboy who claimed to be an elder. Xu Yue took two steps and ran to the side of the war horse he hid in the ravine. Deng Ai also turned over.
He pulled the heavy oil croaker hanging from the side of the saddle, and a strong sense of fighting could not help but appear in his eyes!
