4. Duan Zuo saves Hanmin

In fact, Shang Qixin'er's move was entirely because in the previous battle of Huating, the host business of Xifan suffered too heavy losses, and his vitality was greatly damaged: 20,000 strong men were killed and slaughtered, and one or two thousand returned were forever abandoned due to heavy losses, and the Han people in the Qinzhou territory were moved away by the Tang soldiers Thousands of people (the original Han people in the Qinzhou area were left, and there were only four or five thousand households), and the livestock and farming manpower of the entire host province, the Fan and Han together, was equal to the loss of one-third.

What's more, Zanpu recently issued an order to "maintain the Buddhist temples in the whole land of Dafan, and build the five provinces into a land full of happiness", to put it bluntly, every three households are responsible for supporting one monk, and as soon as this order comes out, the financial pressure on the provinces of Western Tibet is even greater!

For a barbaric and backward slave country like Xifan, this kind of loss is very fatal, after all, whether it is a large material collection or a cow leg rent, it is all obtained by exploiting the serfs who are mainly Han people.

In addition, it is also to blame Gao Yue for killing prisoners in the Weishui Beiyuan in Shangtai, Qinzhou, and if Shang Qixin'er ceded the land to the Tang family at this time, he would have to let Tu Xingzi drown.

Shang Qixin, who was embarrassed by both manpower and economy, could not put forward a policy of recuperation and recuperation with leniency and benevolence to ensure the recovery of production like Chinese politicians, and all this group of so-called noble and wise people on the plateau could think of and do, that is, to send the bereaved families of the "Han army" to the manor and squeeze them to death at one time - no matter how clever the slave owners were, all they could find was the naked brutal thinking that only belonged to the slave owners.

In the palace hall of Shanzhou, Duan Zuo found the great agricultural official Xu Sheren and persuaded him: "Don't send the bereaved families of the Han army to the manor of the Fan people, then they will die in less than a year!" ”

Xu Sheren has now forgotten his habits as a Han Chinese, dressed in the clothes of a Fan person, and said "oh" casually, and then glared at Duan Zuo angrily: "You have a brother named Hao Jue, I heard that he died under Huating City, and now you have to take care of orphans and widows for him?" ”

Duan Zuo didn't panic, and said to Xu Sheren: "Dafan's Zampu saw that Zunjia was capable and proficient in governance, so he promoted Zunjia to such a high status, so Duan Zuo said that instead of sending the remnants of the Han army to the Fanren Manor, it is better to let this group of survivors enter the Zunjia Manor." ”

Xu Sheren was even more angry, saying that there were 3,000 Han troops, and there were almost 10,000 survivors, most of whom were women and children, how do you let me accept it?

"We Tang people ......"

"What nonsense!" Xu Sheren was very frightened and ashamed, he subconsciously thought that the "we Tang people" in Duan Zuo's mouth also included himself, and he had expressed his attitude to the Fan people who were officials in the same state more than once, I am the loyal courtier of the god Zampu, and I have long regarded it as a supreme honor.

This person has always regarded himself as a Tibetan person.

So Duan Zuo's words were simply an insult to himself.

Duan Zuo hurriedly changed his words, saying that among the bereaved families of the Han army, the women are good at weaving hemp, the older men can also farm, the children can help, and when they are older, they are strong and strong, not only can they work, but they can also reproduce each other, raise more cheap serfs, and then you will be developed Xu Sheren.

And Duan Zuo also reminded that as long as Xu Sheren is willing to open your mouth and buy this group of bereaved families, the price will definitely be very cheap.

This made Xu Sheren quite excited, so he agreed to Duan Zuo.

Soon Xu Sheren went to see Shang Qixin'er, told the other party his thoughts originally, and tried to state the stakes in it, and said that he could let this big man increase the taxes in his manor, as long as he could get these survivors.

Shang Qixin'er finally agreed, anyway, he didn't care about the lives of this group of bereaved family members at all, he said to Xu Sheren, the serfs of the Dafan nobles are tens of thousands or even 100,000 at every turn, and now it doesn't matter if I sell them to you, our rule in Longyou also needs the help of your outstanding Han families, but there is a condition in this theory.

Xu Sheren asked what the conditions were.

Shang Qi'er said in his heart, there are about 10,000 survivors of this Han army, and you have to let them support a Buddhist temple in Shanzhou.

Xu Sheren thought about it, and also calculated the account, so he patted his chest and assured Da Lun that there was no problem, and the Buddhist temple would be completed in three years.

Soon, the bereaved families of the Han army, old and young mourning endlessly, were escorted out of the palace and camp, they were originally destroyed by all kinds of oppression in Xifan, and now they are going to be enslaved in the grange of the Xu Sheren, plus the men in their families, almost none of them can return alive, and now many women are holding young children, and they are even more anxious and do not know what to do.

Duan Zuo stood in front of the gate of the palace fort with an iron rod, and shouted at this group of people: "What are you crying about!" Tang Bing killed more than 10,000 Dafan children in Huating, and slaughtered 3,000 in Weishui Beiyuan, and now Shanzhou, Qinzhou, and Weizhou are in danger, the new host not only did not kill you and others as revenge, but also agreed to send you to the manor of Xu Sheren to cultivate and weave, so that you have the rest of the grain to feed your children, and you are not grateful to Dade? ”

Hearing Duan Zuo's words, the bereaved families of the Han army all lowered their heads, they knew that the Tang army had achieved a great victory, and saw the embarrassment of Xifan now, maybe they could survive it themselves, and they could see the day when Hehuang was recovered with the children, so they no longer cried, but grabbed the rope, stared at the soldiers holding weapons, and continued to move forward......

In the Fengxiang Military Mansion, a group of bureaucrats reported to Gao Yue, who was sitting in the office, that Shang Qixin'er, the host of Xifan, refused to cede the land in the northeast of Qinzhou, and that the Tang envoys who had detained the Xiji Huimeng were unwilling to return it.

Gao Yue was very angry, and said to someone in the venue: "Xifan is dangerous, cunning and repeated, this is their self-isolation and my Tang's harmony!" ”

"Please repair the walls in various places, so that you can be prepared." All the generals and generals pleaded in unison.

Gao Yue nodded, and said that after the spring, Ben Yin had to go back to Xingyuan Mansion to explain the affairs of the future, and the Dingwu army could also return to the town.

Almost at the same time, under the snow-covered city of Yanzhou, the crowd of black oppressors, those riding horses, riding camels, some wearing leather armor, and some wearing a single fur, carrying bows and arrows, carrying swords, there were more than 1,000 people per share, like a noisy river, coming from all directions, converging to Wuyuan.

Some of them came from the Chezhou Gorge of Baiyu Mountain, some came from the boundary of Youzhou and Xiazhou, some trekked from Weibei, and many of them came out of the mountains of Gyeongju.

In short, the four major groups of the party in the interior of the Tang family: the Dongshan party in Gyeongju, the Nanshan party in Lingwu, the Pingxia party in Xia Suiyin, and the Liufu party in Weibei, except for the part of the Nanshan party that was slaughtered by Gaoyue before and the rest were expelled to the boundary of Huizhou, the "lords" (chiefs) and main relatives of the other three groups, and even the party items in Shizhou, Hedong, came to the party.

Because the Tang family sent envoys, carrying edicts, seals and gifts, they officially came to appease them, and the conditions were very generous - to give the party the military title of "Tianzhu Army".
