Chapter 1308: Carrying on the Past and Forging Ahead (198) An agreement is reached
Niu Ben and Helan Jie spent half a day telling the patriarch of the Huyan tribe who had been isolated from the Central Plains for too long about the current situation in the Central Plains.
I once thought that the Xiongnu tribe would be wiped out by the Qin people, but now they are better off than anyone else, but it is the strong Qin State of the year, and now it is the rivers and rivers are declining, and the world is in the mountains, nothing more than this.
If he hadn't run away at the beginning, or if the Helan clan was today, it would have been his Huyan tribe. But how can there be regret medicine in the world? What I thought was the right move now now looks incomparably stinky. Of course, it's not my own fault, I wasn't the patriarch back then!
To go back or not to go back? Is there a choice?
Of course not, there is only one answer, go back. Otherwise, Huyanbu is afraid that he won't even be able to survive this winter, and even if he does, will Wang Jian let himself go? Definitely not, as a result of staying here any longer, the Huyan tribe will be wiped out.
When Yu Jiang got the news, he also breathed a sigh of relief, these plague gods are finally leaving, don't underestimate this Huyan clan, they are now less people, but they are also more mobile, because they are poor, so it is even more fatal to grab it, for a small manor like Yu Jiang, the threat is still very deadly, as soon as they leave, at least they don't have to worry about these vicious guys coming to patronize their manor.
"Yujiang, now the Huyan Ministry needs food, clothing, bedding and forage for livestock for the winter. You need to go back and report these to General Wang Jian, and I hope to see these supplies delivered to Almaty in the shortest possible time. Niu Ben looked at Yu Jiangdao, who was overjoyed.
"After I go back, I will naturally report this as quickly as possible, but General Niu, can you guarantee that they will not come to loot us again after they get the things?" Yu Jiang asked.
"Of course, I promise." Niu Ben said: "I will be here for a few more days, and discuss the details of the migration back to the Central Plains with the Huyan patriarch, there are too many old and weak women and children in the Huyan department, this season." It is really not suitable to leave, so I can only wait until the spring flowers bloom next year, and before that, I hope that General Wang can provide them with all their needs, and at the same time, I must also prepare what they need on the way back to the Central Plains next year. ”
"Yes, I'll report to the General." Yu Jiang bowed and said, "General Niu." We're all gone, what about your safety? ”
Niu Ben laughed: "You don't have to worry about our safety here. ”
Although Wang Jian can now be regarded as the king of the dominant side, his style of action still maintains the style of a soldier. It is also a happy event for him that the Han envoy can remove the tumor in the body of Huyanbu for him, if he really lets him use troops to exterminate these people. Not to mention the time and effort, it is not necessarily possible to kill them in one go, these people run. It's too fast, and if you miss something, it will be a big problem in the future.
As for all the materials needed, to him, it was nothing more than two or two thousand people for two or three months, and he was thankful that he could send them away.
More than ten days later, the first batch of supplies arrived in Almaty, the faces of all the people in the Huyan tribe, finally showed a rare smile, the people put on warm new clothes, the big tent burned warm and no smell of charcoal, there was also food in the pot, the tribe was reluctant to kill livestock, and finally can rest assured that the slaughter, this winter, can finally be spent with peace of mind, as for next year, there will be better days waiting for them, these days, the warriors of the Helan tribe are walking around the house among the Huyan tribe, told them about the happy life of the Huns in Dahan, which made everyone in the Huyan tribe full of expectations for the new life in the future, although this winter will not be short of food and drink, but it will be longer.
On the twentieth day of the lunar month, Niu Ben and his party returned to Shule from Almaty, and Helan Jie left several Helan soldiers in the Huyan Department as the midpoint of their contact with Shule.
"You will leave for China tomorrow to report to the king the results of our trip." Niu Ben to Helan Jiedao.
"General Niu, the task given to me by the commander is to protect your safety, why don't you just send someone back for this report?" Helanjie did not agree to Niu Ben's proposal.
"Send someone randomly?" Niu Ben glared at him angrily: "Our agreement with Wang Jian will be the most confidential thing, which involves our strategic deception of Lu Chao, send a small soldier back, do you rest assured?" Besides, after you go back, you have to report to the king what happened this time in person, a little soldier, are you sure he can explain it clearly? ”
"In my opinion, it is most appropriate for General Niu to go back, anyway, the negotiations with Wang Jian have ended, and the rest of the majority is the migration of the Huyan Department, I am a Hun, and it is more convenient than you to contact you in the middle."
"The migration of the Huyan Department has become a certainty, basically there is nothing left, the matter of migration, you just keep a few people, and I, I want to go to Kangju to take a look, that black-clothed food is so strong, we have to be careful, Wang Jian is not a wasted person, if even he feels afraid, then we must pay attention to it, one day in the future, if Wang Jian can't stop their offensive, we may intervene, before that, we can't know anything about them, so I want to go to Kangju to have a look." Do you know what I do, in the area of collecting intelligence, are you better than me? Niu Ben said.
Helan Jie was speechless.
"Hurry up, maybe we can rush back for a year, we were dark when we came, but when we went back, we were familiar with the way." Niu Ben laughed.
Niu Ben is very happy, this trip is worthwhile, and he has successfully completed the task assigned by the king, and Helan Jie is also very happy, and the comrades who are suffering abroad can lead them back to China and let them live a comfortable life, which is more comfortable than his victory. In the same way, Wang Jian was also very happy, because he could finally be sure that the Han State had no intention of launching an attack on him, and he could temporarily settle for here, and at the same time, when dealing with the black-clothed food, he could also find a big backer that he could really rely on, and now it was obvious that the thighs of the Han State were much thicker than those of the Qin people. I remember that when I was still fighting for Daqin, the Han people's endless new weapons, Kai Jia made them frightened, if they could get these weapons, when dealing with the black-clothed food, they would not fight so hard like the battle half a year ago. Although the black-clad cavalry was fierce and brave in battle, their weapons were not much more advanced than their own, of course, their scimitars were extremely sharp, not inferior to the broadswords forged by the Han Chinese, but in other respects, they were much worse.
Half a year ago, if he had thousands of Han crossbows, or hundreds of divine crossbows, he would have been able to beat the attacking black-clothed people at a very small price.
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, even if she is full of military strategy, but without the support of these strengths, she will still not be the opponent of the enemy.
Wang Jian no longer sees himself as a Qin person, and has always wanted to build an independent country, and now it can finally be officially put on the agenda, and the generals under his command are also strongly supportive, who doesn't want to be the founder of the country!
Every time he thought of this, Wang Jian couldn't help but laugh.
Regarding Niu Ben's proposal to go to Kangju to have a look, Wang Jian was of course inaccurate. Now the 20,000 troops of Niya and Yining can be evacuated one after another, and the main force will be deployed in the Kangju area, which was originally used to guard against the Han army that may cross the desert to chase and kill them, but now, there is no need for it.
Wrapped in a thick cloak, Niu Ben, under the protection of more than 100 soldiers, set off towards Kangju, the leader, actually that Yu Jiang, but I heard that this kid was promoted, Wang Jian was very satisfied with his last time with Niu Ben, and now he has become a small county master, and the slaves under his command have also expanded to 200 households, of course, the number of soldiers has naturally increased to more than 100 people. For accompanying Niu Ben, Yu Jiang is also very happy, this Han official has no shelf, easy to deal with, no need to work hard to get credit, more importantly, this trip, everything you need is paid by the general, you don't need to pay for your own money, this goes to Kangju, and it will take more than a month to go back and forth faster, speaking of which, this is the general who paid for himself to feed these people for a month, but he saved a lot of money for himself.
Walking on the road, Niu Ben naturally wants to take a look at Wang Jian's governance of this area, Yu Jiang, who is also a good candidate to inquire about the local situation, this guy does not have a sense of confidentiality at all, as long as he knows, sometimes, Niu Ben has just started a head, he can spit endlessly.
You can get a lot of information without effort, Yu Jiang naturally doesn't know, a lot of what he said is very precious information for Niu Ben, and he can make a rough assessment of the analysis of Wang Jian's control in this area, the people's base, and military strength.
The dignified lieutenant general of the Han National Security Bureau, dealing with an illiterate former Qin army soldier, is not easy to capture.
It should be said that Wang Jian's rule over this area is still very successful, although he did not change the actual situation of slavery here, his subordinates, replaced the original ruler and became the new slave owner, but at the same time he controlled the rights of the new slave owners to the slaves with a decree, the slave owners no longer have the right to kill slaves at will, and at the same time gave the slaves a way out, that is, they made war exploits or other outstanding merits, they will be pardoned, become free people, and at the same time will get the land, A series of rewards such as official positions.
The new slave owners were apparently much more benevolent than the previous rulers, and that alone was enough to make the vast majority of the slaves in the land look forward to their exploits and become the next lucky ones. (To be continued......)
