As mentioned earlier, breaking the level is just the beginning. Siege is also secondary.

How to collect the millions of Qiang people in Xiliang for their own use is the biggest test for King Ji.

Xi Zhicai sat in Hongchiling, and Li Ru and Zang Ba led the wolf ride and arrived first. Received the old department of Bian Zhang, and took over the Jincheng Pass on the north bank and Jincheng on the south bank. The follow-up coalition forces continued to come and take over the cottage water bars and garrison camps.

The five schools of the shogunate, the soldiers divided the road, and took the three counties of Hanyang, Longxi, and Wudu. Most of the west is cool.

Receiving the order of General Han Sui, the temporary commander of the Qiang Guard, all the 36 Qiang cavalry returned to the cottage. 100,000 anti-thieves disappeared in an instant. On the surface, Kansai is flat. However, everyone knows that this is just a façade. As long as someone is tempted by heavy money, the 36 Qiangqu troops will raise troops and then rebel, but it will be in an instant.

Such a symptom but not a root cause is obviously not the original intention of King Thistle.

Partial general Ma Teng, protecting Liangzhou Thorn Shi Song Xiao westward. Stationed in Ji County. In the seventeenth year of Emperor Yongping of the Ming Dynasty, Tianshui County was changed to Hanyang County, and Ji County was the county governance.

The thieves are strong, and all the counties are gone, only Ji County can be preserved. The guard's surname is Jiang, and he is a local clan. When the thieves were in chaos, the nearby villagers helped the old and the young, and fled into the city with their families. The whole body is united, and the enemy is the same. The thieves had no weapons to attack the city, so they besieged it first. Later, he built many passes such as Jincheng and the Great Earthquake, and he also worked hard, so he did not attack the city with all his might, and Ji County survived.

Saying. In the west of Liang, the Qiang people rebelled. Hermes-Epitek who survived had their own way of survival. There are only walls in the countryside. Haoqiang each built a dock fort. Most of the young and strong people in the clan are tribals, hoarding bows, crossbows and arrows. In the case of a surprise attack by the Qiang cavalry, the suspension bridge was raised and defended according to the danger. The Qiang people come and go like the wind, plundering many times, and most of them will retreat when they see things.

If they still attack, there will be blood feuds.

For example, Xiping Kojiyi actually led thousands of people in the clan to join the army. You can know what the scale of the local surname is. Put yourself in your place, surrounded by Qiang, Di, and miscellaneous beards. The Han people should huddle together to keep warm. It is also human nature to marry a big family and seek refuge. Within a few generations, the local surname snowballed and grew. Called "Hao right".

"Haoyou, everyone."

Ji County Jiang's, also like Xiping Koji's.

It is only necessary to say that it is Haoyou, and there must be thousands of acres of fertile land, cattle and sheep all over the field, and more than 10,000 slaves. In the western Liang, the Han people withered. The rest took refuge in the castle of Hoyouwu.

Take it easy.

Let's talk about it first.

The officials of Liangzhou have also been trained. Hearing that the new Liangzhou assassin Shi arrived, the thieves were scattered. The officials of Liangzhou, who did not know where to hide before, appeared one after another and resumed their rule. Governance and security of the people.

In public and private, the ability to survive is rare.

The so-called law does not hold the public accountable. Liangzhou officials, take your time.

Seeing that Song Xiao was in ruins, no one was available. Liu Bei dispatched Tian Feng and Fu Zhi to assist in government affairs. It's good to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree. On the top of Longshan, there is a giant tree called the king of thistles, which is towering to the sky, sheltering it from the wind and rain. Song Xiao is also happy to be idle. The politics of a state are all sent to the earthquake pass quickly. It is up to Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, and Yan Zhong and others to decide at their discretion.

If it weren't for everyone's eyes, it would be criticized. How dare Song Xiao live alone in Ji County. Moved back to Dazhenguan as soon as possible.

When Han Sui led the 36 Qiang Canal to the water distribution station, the Great Earthquake Pass was still under construction.

It is the front and rear passes, and it is also being expanded in full force. In the former Han Dynasty, Longguan Road was the main road to the west. Along the way, "five miles and a fire, ten miles and a pier, thirty miles and a fort, fifty miles and a village." "At the turn of the two Han Dynasty, Qiang Hu rebelled. Today, the Han Dynasty suffered from a hundred years of chaos, and the beacon forts set up along the way are mostly gone.

The thistle king wants to build this place into a closed city. It is to make up for the lack of defense facilities along the way.

When the earthquake is completed. It only needs to garrison thousands of soldiers and horses, which is enough to block 100,000 troops under the pass.

The one who arrived at the Fenshui Post first to greet Han Sui and his party was not someone else, it was Yan Zhong.

"I've seen the military advisor."

"I've seen the general."

The two still salute by their old titles. Look at each other and smile, all without saying anything.

"I haven't seen him for many days, and the military advisor is radiant, and he is better than before." Han Sui's words are profound.

"With heavy responsibilities, I dare not slack off for a day. When the general trend has been achieved, you have to relax. Yan Zhong also replied with lingering rhyme.

"What the military advisor said is extremely true." Han Sui cleaned up his mood and went to the Great Earthquake Pass with Yan Zhong.

Seeing the official road under the hoof, all paved with bluestone, widened several zhang. Han Sui casually asked, "What does the king want?" ”

"Without it." Yan Zhong replied: "Just to keep the Silk Road smooth." ”

Han Sui nodded lightly, noncommittal.

When he saw the Xiongguan that he had personally supervised, Han Sui couldn't hide his surprise: "The king wants to build a city? ”

"Yes, yes." Yan Zhong replied with a smile: "The lord sees that the peaks here are dense, the mountains are high, the ravines are deep and long, and the forests and grasses are lush. The grass grows in the mountains and the forests are lush, and the clear water in the valleys is murmuring. The ridge meadows are vast, undulating, like blue waves, covering the top of the mountains. I want to build a city here to graze horses. ”

I heard Yan Zhong call Liu Bei "the lord." Han Sui's heart moved: "Guanshan grassland is an excellent pasture in Guanzhong. Qin Feizi once raised horses for the Zhou royal family between Huangwei and Wei, 'Ma Da Fan Xi', with outstanding achievements, and was named a vassal of the Zhou family. In the former Han Dynasty, the generals Wei Qing and Huo Qubing went north to conquer the Xiongnu, and the war horses used were also more here. ”

Yan Zhong complied: "The country of Ji is called the state of ten thousand horses. Ma Zheng prospered. It is also common sense that the lord wants to shepherd war horses here. ”

"Yes, yes." Han Sui nodded and smiled.

Ascend to Xiongguan and enter the lobby of Guancheng.

Han Sui led the thirty-six Qiang canals, knelt on the ground and saluted: "Meet the King of Thistle." ”

"No courtesy." Liu Bei stretched out his hand to help: "Give a seat." ”

"Thank you, the king." Han Sui led the thirty-six Qiang canals and sat down in turn.

"Since the farewell of Jincheng, it has been many years. Is the captain okay? Liu Bei asked with a smile.

"Thank you for your thoughts. Jincheng is a farewell, and things are not people. Now I met the king like this, and then, I didn't expect it. Han Sui let out a long sigh.

"We can still see each other after all." Liu Bei asked: "This move is the mastermind of the Yellow Turban Liangzhou Qushuai Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou. The thirty-six Qiang canals are counted as conspiracy. The lieutenant was coerced into the gang, and he was also considered to be in the crowd. ”

"Thank you for your grace not to kill!" Hearing that they were returned to the crowd, Han Sui and the thirty-six Qiang Qu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, Kansai is in turmoil, and it is reported several times a day. His Majesty could not sleep well and could not sleep at night. Capital sins can be avoided, but living sins cannot be escaped. Liu Bei said again.

"Dare to ask the king, how to convict?" Han Sui asked.

"Three thousand miles away." Liu Bei blurted out.

"The Thistle King wants to copy my family?" Then Qiangqu asked in horror. Three thousand miles away...... Not entering the territory of the thistle country. It's called Tubian, but it's actually a copy of my little wow!

All the Qiangqu immediately woke up and begged one after another: "I beg the king to be sympathetic to our homeland and open the net!" ”

"This ......" Liu Bei looked embarrassed and was silent in thought.

Seeing Han Sui's gaze, Yan Zhong said, "Lord Qi." Thirty-six, with a population of one million. A prison sentence of this magnitude is rare. And the Kanto region is in turmoil, and millions of people are relocated, which is also a problem. It's not as good as ......."

"What should I do?" Liu Bei asked.

"It's better to reduce the crime by one degree, so that he can 'finish the city'." Yan Zhong replied.

Nowadays, male prisoners are forced to build city walls, which are called "Chengdan". Forcing female prisoners to cook rice is called "cooking".

"Those who are in the city will rule the city from the beginning; The woman does not hesitate to go out, but she makes rice. ”。

According to the different types of additional punishments, there are three types of "Chengdanjiao". The first type is "Finish the City". "Finish" means keeping the criminal's hair, removing only the sideburns, and not inflicting corporal punishment. It is one of the lightest kinds.

"No." The military secretary Kuda Feng got up and reported: "In troubled times, you need to use heavy codes. If the sentence is so light, it will help the thief to rebel. ”

Liu Bei then asked, "What does Yuan Hao think?" ”

"It should be a 'loose prisoner'. It can be compared to the 'Du Liao Battalion'. Tian Feng replied.
