Chapter 1021 Finally got the news
Jiuyuan, Gaoque.
"Master Liu, please, please give me some food and cloth, otherwise, my people will either freeze to death or starve to death!"
As the cold winter approaches little by little, more and more barbarians gather outside the rough and crude Gaoque City.
They were wrapped in smelly sheepskins and watched the horse teams coming along the river from the south, carrying supplies into the city in a steady stream.
His eyes were full of fear and desire at the same time.
If Ke Bineng was still there and saw the cavalry carrying so many supplies strutting to Jiuyuan, I am afraid he would have grabbed it long ago.
It was just that Feng Jishi first massacred nearly 20,000 Xianbei barbarians at Qiaoshan, and then defeated Kebi's army in Wuyuan County.
Finally, Ruoluo Aliu, Kebineng's younger brother, was appointed to take over the position of tribal leader.
It can be said that the Xianbei Hu people in the Jiuyuan area have had their backbones completely broken by Feng Jishi.
Xianbei Lord Ruoluo Aliu is now like a humble slave, kneeling in front of Liu Liang, kowtowing and begging.
I only hope that the Han people can spare some food and cloth so that the surviving tribesmen can survive the coming winter safely.
“Sixth leader Ruoloa, what are you doing? Come on, come on, get up quickly!”
Liu Liang helped Ruoluo Aliu up and said warmly:
"Now that Jiuyuan has returned to the Han Dynasty, the people of Jiuyuan are the people of the Han Dynasty. How could I just watch the people suffer from cold, hunger and neglect!"
This is a bit too exaggerated.
After all, with the few thousand Yicong Huqi left behind in Jiuyuan, it would be good to be able to control the Gaoque area where the water and grass are the most fertile.
If you want to completely control all the hometowns of Jiuyuan, you must at least wait until the Battle of Guanzhong is over and the big man has his hands free.
In fact, as the cold winter approaches, some scattered tribes outside the Yin Mountain have begun to venture across the Yin Mountain.
They plan to use Yinshan Mountain to block the cold wind from the north and survive this cold winter.
The bones of tens of thousands of Xianbei knights are still there, and the traces of blood are still there.
Let these new Hu people who come to the foot of Yinshan Mountain be cautious and stay away from Gaoque as much as possible.
From this aspect, the Han Dynasty did not actually bring all the Hu people in the Jiuyuan area into management.
But if Luo Aliu recognizes Liu Liang’s words, he must not only recognize them, but also support them:
“Master Liu is right, he is right, I am confused.”
As long as the Han people are willing to help their own people, everything is easy to say.
Because Yinshan Mountain is the best place to escape the winter, let alone dare not leave here now.
Even if there is a way to leave, given the current situation of the tribe, going to spend the winter outside Yinshan Mountain is basically a dead end.
“It’s just that the Sixth Leader of Ruoloa, the supplies I have in hand now should not only give priority to protecting the army on the Qiaoshan side, but also supply the garrison on the Jiuyuan side.”
“In the end, what was left was actually not too much, so I had to make careful calculations to see how to distribute the rations to everyone.”
Zolo Aliu said quickly:
“I will listen to Mr. Liu in everything.”
“Well, in that case, the six leaders of Ruoloa might as well ask the commanders of each tribe to report the number of people in their tribes, and then I will calculate how much rations are needed.”
“Of course, white disasters are not just happening this year, they will happen next year, the year after that, the year after that, and almost every year.”
"So in order to facilitate the distribution of food and the allocation of materials in the future, my suggestion is to imitate the Liangzhou system. When a tribe reaches a certain number of Dingkou, a military commander will be assigned to the permanent tribe."
Although in Ke Bineng's eyes, Ruoluo Aliu is just a guy waiting to die, and his own ability is not as good as that of his son-in-law Yu Zhudan.
But this does not mean that Ruoluo Aliu is ignorant.
On the contrary, he followed Kebi Neng and started from Xiaozhong Xianbei.
After the tribe grew stronger, they followed Ke Bi Neng from Youzhou to Yanmen, and then followed Ke Bi Neng to Gaoque.
It has been going on for decades.
What he saw and heard may be a little less interesting than Liu Liang, who pretended to be cool in Jincheng, fed mosquitoes in Nanzhong, fed Hu women in the flesh in Longyou Liangzhou, and endured humiliation and shouldered the burden of serving as the front line for the Liangzhou army in Jiuyuan. .
But he knows best what it means for the Han people to be stationed in the tribe as military commanders and commanders.
He was very sure that whether it was Cao Cao or Feng Junhou, whether he wanted to control the tribe or convert Hu into Han, this was the first step.
But seeing Ruoluo Aliu asked somewhat numbly:
“Here, Liu Langjun, the next step is to build a school in Jiuyuan?”
Liu Langjun took a look and said, "Oh, who said this Ruoluo Aliu is a waste?"
Isn’t this very enlightening?
Liu Langjun rubbed his hands and smiled:
“Leader Ruoloa Six, you know that these big men always need to be educated, right? It’s better to educate them later than to educate them early...”
If the situation wasn't stronger than the person, Ruoluo Aliu would have almost smashed the face of the guy in front of him to pieces!
bad people!
He is not a son of man!
After taking over the mess left by Ke Bineng, Ruoluo Aliu naturally thought about the future of his people.
By coincidence, there happened to be Hu people from Liangzhou in Gaoque, and there were quite a few of them, thousands of them.
So as long as Luo Aliu has one mouth and two ears, a few months are enough to understand what Liangzhou's rules are for the Hu people.
Is it merciful?
You can say that.
After all, the lives of most Hu people are much better than before.
Is it cruel?
The same can be said for .
Because I heard from those Liangzhou barbarians that some of their commanders were unwilling to cooperate, but in the end they always disappeared quietly one day.
Even they themselves didn’t notice the day Qu Shuai disappeared after the incident.
The most terrifying thing is the labor of the big man, which is very famous...
Enter his mother!
Looking up at Liu Langjun, Ruoluo Aliu had a delighted smile on his face:
“Yes, yes, yes, Liu Langjun is right.”
Then he lowered his voice again and whispered:
“Liu Langjun, I will definitely be the first to respond to this matter…”
With shyness on his face, the sixth leader of Ruoloa continued:
“It’s not a big deal just to need help from a big man from time to time. The sage said: A gentleman never ceases to strengthen himself.”
“So the little man thought that it would be great if he could have a pasture to settle down in, like Liangzhou, where the big men could graze sheep and shear some wool to make a living.”
The well-informed Liu Langjun was shocked at once.
This Hu Renqu is so handsome!
Regardless of whether the sage said that a gentleman should strive for self-improvement, he actually knew that shearing sheep was not easy.
As the most influential tribe at the foot of Yinshan Mountain, they were also the first tribe to respond to the policies of the Han Dynasty.
No matter whether the Han Dynasty planned to set up the Jiuyuan hometown as a border and manage it personally in the future.
Still use it as a barrier to protect the country as before. If Luo Aliu had pioneered it, he would definitely become a model.
Looking at the shy, honest-looking prairie man in front of him, Liu Langjun came up with something:
It is not unreasonable that Kebineng's whole family is completely dead, and only Ruoluo Aliu can still become the leader of the tribe.
Since the other party is a sensible person, Liu Liang is naturally willing to make things clear:
"Leader Ruoluo'a Six, I won't hide it from you. A few days ago, good news came from Qiaoshan. General Jiang has broken through Qiaoshan and headed for Chang'an along the Qinzhidao."
He raised his chin and gestured outside:
“So this time so many supplies were shipped, they were mainly sent to General Jiang.”
Liu Liang didn’t understand what was going on in the battle.
Liu Liang didn’t understand whether it was too risky for Jiang Wei to go deep into Guanzhong alone.
He only knows that once the army crosses Qiaoshan and enters Guanzhong, supplies may not be easy, so it is natural to prepare sufficient supplies.
Since Jiuyuan's hometown has barely stabilized, Liu Liang has begun to actively restore contact with the rear.
Rather than passing through the desert again, they went south along the river from Gaoque, passed through the Lingwu Valley, and arrived at Lian County (i.e. Yinchuan area) established by the former Han Dynasty.
After passing Lian County and continuing south, it’s easy to say after passing the old county seat of Beidi County, Fuping (that is, near Qingtongxia City).
Because after passing Fuping, there are ruins of pass gates set up by the Han Dynasty along the way.
Going along both sides of the river and following the ruins of the Guan Fortress, you can reach the former place outside the Great Wall of Anding County.
On the side of the river in Daeding County, a Xiongnu tribe often grazed there over the years.
The previous Xiongnu master of this tribe was named Hu Bo Juzizhi. Later, he was killed by Sima Yi in his hometown of Beidi County, and the tribe was almost exterminated.
The remaining tribesmen merged with the tribe led by Hu Bo's widow, the Yan family.
Later, a lustful hungry ghost Shi Bao came from the west, and everything was left unsaid...
After Shi Bao felt so refreshed, he pointed out a bright way to the Yan family.
Let her tribe work part-time as a middleman between Liangzhou Longyou and the northern grasslands to earn some intermediary fees and so on.
As for why they didn’t just circle a pasture to graze their sheep and shear their wool like other Hu tribes?
Why do people just want to be nomadic?
As a nomad, you live by the water, so it’s normal to run far away, right?
Even passing through Lian County, transporting some wool and other materials to Jiuyuan to sell, and at the same time seeing if the Xiongnu city built by our ancestors in Gaoque is still there, is it normal, right?
After running back and forth a lot, you will naturally know the way.
It can be said that no matter how difficult this road is, it is much more convenient than starting from Juyan County and then crossing the desert.
This is also the reason why Deng Zhi immediately retreated to Xiao Pass when he learned that Deng Ai's troops were approaching Xiao Pass.
As long as Xiaoguan is still there, Longyou will be able to use this road sooner or later to get in touch with the Liangzhou army who entered the hometown of Jiuyuan.
As for why the Liangzhou Army did not enter Longyou and exit Xiaoguan via this road.
Firstly, because Sima Yi will definitely plant his own eyes and ears in his hometown of Beidi County, taking this route will only expose the whereabouts of the Liangzhou Army in advance.
Well, even if Sima Yi expected that the Liangzhou Army would raid Qiaoshan, he would make the other party feel that his prediction was correct.
This made Sima Yi lose his vigilance and no longer think about the possibility that the Liangzhou army would turn around and fight to merge with the state.
Simply put, it is to predict Sima Yi's prediction and add an extra layer of insurance.
Of course, this road is indeed not easy to walk. After all, Lian County and Fuping County are the core areas of the old Beidi County.
Not only did Sima Yi put men there, but the barbarians who were grazing there were even more chaotic.
It’s really hard to get through if you don’t have the ability to use real swords and guns.
Fortunately, the Yi Cong Hu cavalry left by Feng Jishi to Liu Liang was regarded as a fast horse and a sharp sword for the Hu people on the grassland. In the end, after many twists and turns, he finally got in touch with Anding County.
As it turned out, Deng Zhi was much more anxious than Liu Liang who stayed in Gaoque.
When the Wei thieves approached Xiao Pass, Longyou forced out 3,000 fine cavalry.
Let Ma Dai personally lead the team and penetrate into Fuping County, a key place between Gaoque and Xiaoguan.
For Deng Zhi, as long as Xiao Guan was intact, he could pretend not to see the Wei thieves show off their power under the city walls.
But if there is news coming from the direction of Jiuyuan, he must do everything possible to ensure smooth communication between the two places.
Otherwise, with Deng Zhi’s generals such as Ma Dai and Zhang Yi, how could an unknown Wei general ride on his head?
The supplies Liu Liang has now are delivered by Dongfeng Express from Longyou out of Xiaoguan regardless of losses.
If you want to use this batch of supplies, of course there is no problem.
But in advance, priority must be given to protecting the 10,000 troops led by Jiang Wei.
“Leader Ruoloa Six, you also know that the cold winter is approaching, so naturally I have to give priority to ensuring the food and clothing of the soldiers at the front.”
"Well, if you can spare some manpower, help me transport this batch of supplies to Guanzhong."
Liu Liang looked at Ruoluo Aliu’s confused face and smiled:
“Not only will the people who transport them be able to eat along the way, but I can also reward them according to the tribe’s contribution afterwards.”
How to win over, divide and utilize, Feng Junhou has already set an example in Longyou and Liangzhou. Liu Liang only needs to follow his example.
Sure enough, after hearing Liu Liang's words, Ruoluo Aliu's expression changed.
Based on the current situation in Jiuyuan and the current situation of the tribe.
If you can not only help the Han army, but also allow the tribesmen to eat, get paid afterwards, and there is no risk, no matter how you look at it, this is a great thing sent from heaven!
"This... Liu Langjun, no matter who he is, as long as he can help transport food, can he eat?"
"There is a ration of people, and as long as the food transportation reaches the standard, as a big man, I join the army, how can I still pay for that ration?"
If it had been anyone else, Ruoluo Aliu might have muttered, but if it had been Liu Langjun, he really had nothing to say.
Because from the day Liu Liang led the caravan here, he has always been operating with integrity and no deception.
Even for some small tribes that cannot deliver goods, they will occasionally provide emergency relief and allow credit to be paid back slowly in the future.
If you ignore the Han army’s stance on his tribe a few months ago, Liu Langjun’s reputation in the Jiuyuan area is really good.
Of course, even after Feng Junhou slaughtered tens of thousands of people, Liu Liang still had strong credibility in the eyes of a considerable number of tribes.
Why was the Han army able to sweep across Jiuyuan so easily?
Why did the tribe inexplicably lose tens of thousands of their elite cavalry?
Joluo Aliu may not have understood it before, but it has been some time since he took over the tribe.
No matter how stupid he is, he can still vaguely see that there are probably many people down there who have long been flirting with the Han army.
So if Luo Aliu knew about it, even if he had doubts, as long as Liu Langjun let this word out, there would definitely be many handsome men running over to kneel and lick him eagerly.
Thinking about the death of all his brothers and his whole family, and then thinking about the Han army coming to Jiuyuan, it was like walking in the back yard of one's own house, and having tens of thousands of fine knights disappear in just the blink of an eye.
Ruo Luoa closed his eyes and his heart was filled with anger. What the **** is it about strengthening the tribe or restoring Xianbei's glory?
No matter how big it gets, can it be bigger than the Han army?
No matter how glorious you are, can you be more glorious than the Han people?
Since you have decided to sell, you might as well find a way to sell yourself better!
"If Liu Langjun doesn't give up, there are still some people in our clan. I just ask Liu Langjun to show mercy and give them a bite of food..."
Hearing this, Liu Langjun suddenly smiled and held up his arms:
“To put it bluntly, it’s just about helping each other and helping each other!”
After seeing off Ruoluo Aliu who had returned to his clan to prepare for the manpower, Liu Langjun faced the wind blowing from the north and let the chilly north wind blow away the heat in his chest.
Just a few words, a conversation and a laugh, can decide the fate of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of barbarians.
Not only did he take the opportunity to relieve the logistical pressure on the army, but he even laid the groundwork for the governance of Jiuyuan quietly.
Making strategic plans and guiding the country, this kind of heroism is the feeling that men pursue.
At a certain moment, Liu Liang suddenly understood the vision and height of a certain future leader of the new generation of Han Dynasty.
He couldn't help but let out a loud roar and laughed: "How strong, a man from the Han family!"
Hanzhong.
Representing the highest emergency, the red rider carries the command flag and feathers in his arms. The horse underneath him is foaming at the mouth, but the knight shows no mercy and slaps the horse's **** from time to time.
)
There is no smoke and dust, and the horseshoes with horseshoes hit the cement road, making a clear and crisp sound.
The gates of Hanzhong City were wide open, and a group of Han soldiers stood guard on both sides of the door to welcome the incoming news.
"Urgent report! Feng Junhou fought thousands of miles and destroyed 40,000 Hu cavalry in Jiuyuan. Now he has captured Bingzhou and sent his troops to the east of Hedong to defeat the Wei thieves!"
When Chuanqi passed the city gate, he showed no sign of stopping. He just said this to the wind and continued to gallop towards the palace of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.
“Boom!”
The Han soldiers at the door looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.
“Do you hear this clearly?”
The person in question swallowed his saliva and murmured:
“Fighting thousands of miles away?”
“Listen again, listen again, listen carefully, don’t make the wrong transmission!”
“Yes, yes, listen carefully again!”
Soon, after the first passer-by passed by, more passers-by in twos and threes followed. This time, someone finally turned over at the city gate and fell off his horse.
The soldiers who had been prepared quickly caught him and asked hurriedly:
“How is it? How is the war going?”
Chuanqi’s lips were chapped and his face was faintly bloodshot. They must have been blown by the mountain wind while running wildly.
But his mood at this time was extremely exciting:
"Feng Junhou fought thousands of miles and killed tens of thousands of barbarians in Jiuyuan. Then he broke through Bingzhou and marched to the east of the river. The whole world was shaken!"
“It’s true!”
“Confused! This is a red messenger, reported directly to the emperor, how can it be fake?”
Some people marveled:
"How many people did Feng Junhou bring? After fighting for thousands of miles, with barbarian cavalry and Wei thieves, I'm afraid the number of people who were defeated must be one hundred thousand?"
“What’s the matter with one hundred thousand? It’s not like you’ve never done it before when you have twenty thousand and one hundred thousand!”
“We didn’t fight thousands of miles back then! Besides, it was 100,000 people, not 100,000 pigs!”
“Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t understand. Do you think killing pigs is easy? My family is a pig farmer.”
"To kill a pig, one person has to lift the hind legs, another person grasps the front legs, and another person hooks the pig's neck with an iron hook, overturns it, and then uses the butcher's knife to bleed it."
At this time, the trend of captive breeding in the Han Dynasty became more and more popular, especially because of the increase in grain production. Small families were able to raise some chickens and ducks in free range, and add two, three or four pigs.
People who are more affluent often open chicken farms, duck farms, and pig farms, raising hundreds or even hundreds of chickens, ducks, dozens of pigs, and 1,230 pigs.
Because chicken and duck feathers and even dried bacon are tax deductible.
The next level up, you can directly open a pasture, open a pasture, raise sheep and cattle...
As for raising horses and supplying the army, opening woolen spinning workshops, leather workshops, etc., these are the qualifications reserved only for the top dignitaries and wealthy families.
The pig farmer at home is a junior officer, and he is gesturing to his colleagues on **** pigs.
Someone suddenly said:
“Doesn’t that mean that Wei thieves are worse than pigs?”
Everyone burst into laughter all of a sudden, and the city gate was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
“Stop making trouble and go and spread the news!”
“No!”
“Feng Junhou traveled thousands of miles to fight...”
The soldiers at the city gate got the exact news and began to run around spreading the news.
Hanzhong City is like a pot of boiling water. It boils immediately, with mist steaming and water splashing everywhere.
The map of the restoration of contact between Jiuyuan and Hanzhong. Talents have been produced on the first floor since ancient times:
