Chapter six hundred and ninety six.
People are in a good mood, and it seems that the heavens are all following. When they return to the grassland, everyone is in a heavy mood. It is also snowing in the sky from time to time. But when they come back, they are all playing in Guihua City. Even if they don’t play, they still see the West. Everyone is full of spirits. God is also sunny and clear, and there has never been a single snow.
It is said that the butterfly effect is. This time when I returned to the grassland, it was a butterfly effect. Wang Hou did not kill more than a dozen Qiang people and more than 50,000 strong men, but they used their lives to extort food. However, this incident was equivalent to the result of my failure to kill Boren. Boren died for me. The originally insufficient winter food became empty. On the Loess Plateau, there were probably many people who died in wars to grab food for each other and were frozen to death and starved to death.
When Wang Hou passed the loess high slope again, the Dongqiang tribes that had fought fiercely seemed to have barely reached a balance again, and that kind of cruel attack and killing was rare.
However, when we went back to Shaodang Qiang Valley, there were more Qiang people surrounding the entrance of Qiang Valley and receiving relief grain. The number was probably no less than 70,000 to 80,000. And judging from the traces, there have been several attacks on Shaodang Qiang Valley.
Fortunately, Wei Yan did not follow Wang Hou's military orders, and once he was attacked, he burned all the pure grain and retreated to Guanzhong. On the one hand, the hearts of people are full of flesh. With so many people, they can starve to death by fire. Wei Yan was also a small soldier from the village households, so he couldn't bear it. On the other hand, when the Qiang tribe came to attack, the Qiang people who received the food also helped to resist.
Their failure to stand idly and see Wei Yan feels like an ally, which is also the reason why Wei Yan did not set fire to food.
This is a good phenomenon. At least these Qiang people are not barbarians who cannot communicate with them. They can also fight with the Han people, which gave Wang Hou the hope of recruiting Qiang people.
But one thing is that this situation will not last long, and the pressure to feed this large population is too great. The captured grain is about to be seen with the grain sent by Wang Hou in the second batch.
"Lord! The remaining food and sheep are enough to support twenty days!"
Standing on the loess wall piled up by the mixed brigade, watching the Qiang tribe lined up outside the village, which was receiving alms over and over again, a look of unbearableness appeared on his rough and fierce face. He hugged his fists, Wei Yan reported in a low voice.
He also looked at the long team below with emotion. The Qiang tribe, which was occupied by the weak, women and children, took up more than half of the Qiang tribe. He vomited a mouthful of white smoke. Wang Hou suddenly turned his head solemnly.
"After writing, in your opinion, can I arrange them?"
"Return to General, although these Qiang people have different language customs from our Han family, their preference for farming is generally the same as that of me, if so..."
After pausing for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said it out loud. Wei Yan clasped his fists and knelt down heavily.
"If the lord is kind and willing to draw a piece of land for these Qiang people on the banks of the Wei River, they will be willing to use their lives to guarantee them. The Qiang people in front of them will definitely obey the general and will not cause any trouble!"
It’s still poor people who pity the poor!
However, Wang Hou did not respond to his words immediately, but still looked at the lowly Qiang people in a daze. Unlike the Wuhuan, since the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Qiang people and the Han people fought for more than 100 years. For more than 100 years, so many capable generals and generals have not pacified the Western Qiang, which shows how rebellious this tribe is.
After all, the saying goes, if you are not my tribe, your heart will be different! If you really want to bring them to Hanzhong, if these rebellious guys start to make trouble, he will really have no good results! After all, there are less than two years left before the time limit required by General Cao.
"Remember your words! Hold on here for eighteen days, and then you can lead your troops to retreat. I will arrange a second relief team at Ruobakou! Let's meet there!"
"I will thank you lord!"
Full of excitement, Wei Yan held his fists and bowed his head.163TXT
…………
From the Shaodang Qiang Valley, Wang Hou kept thinking about the affairs of the Qiang people. After all, the number of Qiang people has surpassed the Han people. Unlike the Wuhuan and Xianbei people, even if the Goguryeo and Wuhuan people are added, the number is less than half that of the Han people in Liaodong. The population of Han people in Liaodong alone has now reached 2 million, which is enough to digest all foreign races.
However, in this Guanxi, the number of Qiang people has exceeded that of Han people, and there are Di people and Jie people not mention it! One of the important reasons for the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty in later generations was that Hu Hua, Hebei, if one is not handled well, the foundation he established may really collapse like a domino.
Just because I was so thoughtful, I had already rushed back to Chang'an after two or three days.
As spring approaches, the ice and snow melt a lot. The banks of the Wei River, which has rebuilt acres of farmland, are covered with thin residual snow, which seems to have revealed a sense of vitality. Wang Hou himself also feels refreshed and happy. Before he knows it, his depressed mood has become much more comfortable.
However, at this moment, the originally quiet village suddenly became boiling. I don’t know who raised his voice and shouted loudly. The people of Guanzhong townsmen who were huddling in front of and behind the house stuffed grain and yellow mud were like middle school students who had finished school at noon, and suddenly rushed towards Chang'an City.
With a sudden excitement, Wang Hou ran over with the reins of the horse, and didn't even greet the cavalry behind him! Three elements: He is not here! Sima Yi is here! Cao Zhang is not reliable! He knows that there is nothing good if he falls.
Sure enough, he was guessing that outside the Ba Bridge in Chang'an, there were more than 100 Qiang people who surrendered were kneeling on the ground by the big blade of the soldiers. The front row was Jiang Jie, the "traitor" he brought back from Dong Qiang. He lowered the three layers inside and three layers inside and outside, and countless people in Guanzhong were muddy. At a glance, there were more than ten children from Sima Yi, a thin guy, who appeared behind the thin guy, who were wearing long robes and arrogant faces.
But what is puzzling is that there is a dark circle on his face, and Cao Zhang is actually looking furious and stays in the prison position in anger.
This is called Guanwei Privileges. It doesn't even have to shout at the sword as it was in the TV series. The cavalry surrounded here, lowered Pang De and drew his sword in his hand, grinning and shouting to get out. They drew it in one stroke. The people who were originally excited to watch the fun turned around and ran away like the rat when he saw the cat.
"Big Travel Platform!"
Obviously, Wang Hou came back at this critical moment, and his face changed significantly. Sima Yi held his fists and greeted him heavily.
"The officials of the government do not know that Daxingtai has returned and have not yet met. I hope Daxingtai will forgive me!"
He ignored his silence and slap in his silence. Anyway, he was all in a row! How can he go if the relationship is stiff? His eyes looked directly at Jiang Wu, who was beaten and had a tragic face. Wang Hou waved his slap directly.
"Take them all away!"
"But brother-in-law, this person is with Qiang, these bastards are plotting to rebel. Look, I'm going to beat me!"
Unexpectedly, Wang Hou hadn't even asked a question, and was about to take the criminal away with a wave of his hand. Cao Zhang was also anxious and shouted loudly. Who knew that his gloomy old face was stretched out and pinched his neck. Wang Hou was like a chicken carrying a guy with a straight neck, holding the guy with his neck shrunk, and yelling in anger while pulling the horse's back.
"You go with me too!"
Seeing Cao Zhang's voice, all the Qiang people in the execution ground were taken away by the cavalry, the children of the aristocratic families who followed Sima Yi were all shocked and annoyed.
And Sima Yi's face turned black in an instant......
