Chapter 682. General Wang, who admires foreign flattery
Although the two Han Dynasty were separated by so many decades, Wang Hou really admired the Western Han Dynasty and was particularly depressed in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the wealthy families who were suppressed throughout the Western Han Dynasty all rose up in the Eastern Han Dynasty, so that the Han Empire, which was originally dominated by the homesteading peasant economy, turned into a central weak empire of feudal scholar manor owners.
There is also Liu Xiu's ethnic policy, and it is not a bad thing to settle Hu in Han Land, but in the later stage, you can be so good at educating and assimilating them! For more than 100 years in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu gave up the prairie and took root in Hetao, the Qiang people occupied the Loess Plateau, and the Qiang and Qiang tribes invaded half of Liangzhou, which was all for the Qiang people to occupy Guanzhong in the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Huns were the first to poison the Central Plains, and the Qiang people rioted and laid the root of the bane.
Now it's his turn to solve this time bomb bundled in the Han Empire!
And the solution! Although it sounds a bit admiring and flattering, Wang Hou still intends to do it in the form and method of a Western military strongman he admires! That man was Caesar!
Several Roman legions of tens of thousands marched into Gaul and killed a million people! A million people were sold into slavery! Only a million people remained, and in the end the proud and warlike Gallic rooster became a province of the Roman Empire, and the Gauls worshipped Caesar like a god!
Isn't it going to war against Lao Tzu? Then I'll fight with you!
Looking for mountains and forests lurking during the day, marching at night, the earth is fair, the Guanzhong Plain does not have a very good means of defense for the Dongqiang entrenched in the Loess Plateau, and the Dongqiang also has no parry against the invasion of Guanzhong, from Chang'an at night, lurking for three nights, more than 11,000 troops sneaked into the Loess Plateau like a ghost.
I have to say that the ecology of the Loess Plateau more than 1,000 years ago was still much stronger than that of later generations, the vegetation covering the Loess Plateau was not destroyed too much by the expanding population, and the rainfall did not wash out the bare barren mountains of the thousands of ravines in later generations.
And it seems to be a little different from the nomadic Dongqiang in Wang Hou's imagination.
Leaning against the towering loess cliffs, the hollows that are rough but similar to the caves of later generations are dug into them like termite heaps, and the village is trampled out of neat paths.
The Qiang people are indeed raising livestock, relying on the village not far away, a large herd of cattle and sheep tied to the gate of the fence, but at the same time, their cultivated land is not small, the village below the cave is gathered in the low flat place, a large area of farmland is scattered, more than ten months have also finished harvesting, messy millet stubble is everywhere.
It is no wonder that the Huns who occupy the entire grassland have a population of more than one million in their heyday, but there are more than one million in the heyday of the West Qiang and East Qiang, and now there are six or seven hundred thousand, and this is still a war for many years, and after the Eastern Han Dynasty Duan Cheng such a general killing god will slaughter the rest, and the Qiang people here are not all the Qiang people, there are nomadic Qiang people on the Qinghai steppe, Wang Hou also read some classics, in the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there are nearly 500,000 Qiang people were migrated into Shu.
Closely relying on nomadic herding, it is impossible for the Qiang people to reproduce and feed such a large population, and they have also mastered a large number of farming techniques, and from a distance, this place is similar to the Han villages on the high slopes of the loess in later generations.
But this is also a crisis for Wang Hou! In the previous melee, a large number of deaths and fled to Hanzhong, Kandong, and Guanzhong are less than 300,000 Han people, even if there are 300,000 Han people in Liangzhou, plus only 600,000 yuan, the number of Qiang people has exceeded the Han people!
Wang Hou didn't want the Qiang people to rule, and the former Qin of Yao Chang's father and son in later generations was made out!
And now 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 so cloaked in hair and scattered to lie in the field under the village, dense and really like termites.
The reflection of the moonlight shining and emitting a cold light is probably what Sima Yi said, the weapons and equipment that the Bingzhou Shi clan supported to Dongqiang.
However, looking at this scene, the corners of Wang Hou's mustachioed mouth still couldn't help but evoke an extraordinarily rich sneer.
It's not called the army with a knife, these Qiang people who are still in the primitive clan are too scattered, he didn't see any army formation, and even if he accepted the ordnance supported by the Bingzhou Shi clan, compared with Wang Hou's Liao army, the equipment gap between these Qiang people is like the distance between the Laik militia and the Mi army, and many Qiang people with hair are even half bare-chested, with a knife all over their bodies, typical thugs.
"I kind of know why Duan Cheng has less than 10,000 horses, which is enough to sweep Qiang Liang!"
Putting down the binoculars, Wang Hou couldn't help but reveal a rich sneer.
"Brother-in-law, how are we going to fight?" Soaring Chinese
In history, Cao Cao's evaluation of Cao Zhang's good will is true, he followed Wang Hou as a night owl for several days and nights, lurking on the high slope of the loess, watching Wang Hou put down the binoculars, he couldn't help but reveal a bloodthirsty and belligerent excitement, holding his fists and asking hurriedly, but listening to Wang Hou shook his head heavily.
"Can't wait!"
Looking at the chaotic Qiang soldiers gathered together in the night and the undulating broken terrain that crisscrossed the entire loess high slope, a particularly bright look appeared in Wang Hou's eyes.
"This is a great opportunity! At least half of the Dongqiang thieves can be solved! ”
Now Sima Yi obviously has not developed that tenacious physique for a long time, and he has recently been beaten by a feudal privilege, he is relying on the side of the horse and is in a daze, this Wang Hou led Zhuge Ying, Zhao Yun and Deng Ai and other staff officers to observe the enemy situation, and casually kicked the dignified Sima old thief's buttocks.
"Let's go!"
"Daxingtai, you might as well kill the lower officials! Oh my face! ”
…………
The night did not change, the sun rose high again, and the sun on the high slopes of the loess seemed to be warmer than the sun on the Guanzhong Plain, and the sun made people wilt.
On this day, the Qiang people gathered some people and horses, which really deserved to be a fighting nation, shouting, and the young people in the village followed out with knives, axes and even hoes, and it was as simple as fighting a war!
In the afternoon, it seemed that the men and horses were almost gathered, and the chiefs of the Qiang tribes, wearing sheep's skulls on their heads, with pigtails on their hair and hanging turquoise, also appeared, around the fire, and several of their faces were smeared with ochre, and the Qiang sorcerer, who was a bit like the Indians, led a full ten oxen, and on the edge of the stone mortar at the front of the village, the knife cut the neck of the ox, and in the wailing of the ox, the hot ox blood quickly filled the stone mortar.
And the warriors of the Qiang tribe carried their knives forward, slamming them on their foreheads and cheeks.
The bloody-faced Qiang soldiers howled excitedly, and the atmosphere was particularly terrifying and weird.
All this fell into the eyes of San Xiaoqiang again, put down the binoculars, Deng Ai hugged his fist helplessly, and asked with a sad face.
"Three sons! The lord almost didn't smoke me last time, please, go back! ”
"Where is that? Such a dangerous task, uncle does not take care of you, who will follow you! Nope! Brother Dongsheng? ”
Seeing Cao Zhangsao patting Officer Deng on the shoulder, Xu Yue also shrugged helplessly.
"The Qiang people's expedition ceremony is almost over! Do it as soon as possible! ”
"That's it! Xiao Aizi is grinding and chirping, like a woman! ”
I was really angry, I didn't want to talk to this self-proclaimed elder gentleman, this Xu Yue walked two steps quickly, and galloped to the side of the war horse he hid in the ravine, and Deng Ai also turned over and got on the horse.
Pulling the heavy oil jar hanging on the edge of the saddle, his eyes couldn't help but show a strong fighting intent!
