Chapter 121 is stretched

The Qiang women are getting richer and richer, and they are becoming more and more strong, which is a temperament that Yun Lang specially cultivates for the Qiang women.

So much so that his head was broken, and no one was held accountable for the trouble, which made the women even more arrogant.

To be a master is to have the temperament of a master.

In order to maintain this momentum, the labor remuneration of the city was very unreasonable, and the men were tired and tired on the construction site carrying stones, and the money they earned in a day was only enough for him to eat and wear.

The women, on the other hand, used a variety of weaving to easily feed a family by themselves.

After Yunlang's continuous selection, it was finally found that the demand for wool bags in the army was almost endless, and wool bags were actually the best-selling goods in the surrendered city.

These pockets are slender enough to carry grain and other supplies on the back of mules and horses, and although they are not light, they are extremely strong.

Even if it is sent to the mainland, it is a rare good thing.

The rapid rise in economic ability has made the status of Qiang women immediately improved.

The women with the highest status were the women who followed Su Zhi to take care of the wounded soldiers, and as long as they took care of the wounded soldiers every day, they could get money that Qiang men could not even think of.

Because of the large number of women, most of whom had children, the men had nothing to say about the economic policy of the surrendered cities, as long as the women had no opinion.

What's more, most of the men were slaves......

After Guo Xie experienced that difficult night, he finally gained the trust of the cavalry lieutenant, which was extremely beneficial to his slave hunting business.

With the permission of the army, he could even transport Qiang slaves to Guannai for sale, so as to obtain more lucrative profits.

You may see women and young children grazing on the grassland, but you will never see a few men grazing, who have either died in the war, or have been captured by the Huns, or by the Han Chinese.

After a two-pronged approach, a subtle peace was formed in the meandering land.

What Yun Lang has to do is to maintain this delicate balance, and the longer it is maintained, the better, if it can be longer, the Qiang people will think that their society should be like this.

This balance is not difficult to understand, just like many races exchange women, but for the Qiang people, it is men who are in the exchange position.

The tribes who exchange women think that this is a natural thing, so the current Qiang women think that it is also an extremely common thing to exchange men.

As a result, with the unremitting efforts of the Xiongnu and Han people, one or even two generations of Qiang men completely disappeared from the meandering land.

Now, Yun Lang's worries do not come from the surrendered city itself, but from the western general's mansion, where the situation has always been unclear, Su Jian has no objection to the economic exchanges between the surrendered city and Bai Dengshan, but in terms of military exchanges, he seems to be extremely stingy.

Seeing that it was approaching the end of April, Su Jian still had no intention of coming to the surrender city.

"Relying on the mountains and relying on everyone to run, only we can rely on ourselves, and it is unwise to put too many expectations on others."

Yun Lang finally made up his mind, no longer counting on Bai Mountain, and prepared to plan the Surrender City as a separate individual.

Huo Quzhi said: "It should be like this, although the cavalry captain is nominally under the jurisdiction of Bai Mountain, we ourselves have the right to send troops alone.

Therefore, it is human nature that Su Jian doesn't want us, probably because he is afraid that we will not respect the orders of the generals, and in the end he will not end well if he causes trouble.

As Alang said, let's fight on our own. ”

Li Dang said with some apprehension: "We now have less than 800 soldiers to fight, and it is not enough to rely on this strength to gain a foothold in Hequ. ”

Zhao Ponu said: "Can you organize slave soldiers?" ”

Xie Ning, who was lying on the chaise longue, said: "The slaves hate us deeply, and it is impossible for me to use them, my opinion is that when the surrendered city is repaired, all the slaves in the city will be handed over to Guo Xie and sent to Guanzhong." ”

Yun Lang threw out a leading question as usual, then closed his mouth and took the initiative to listen to the opinions of others.

The Surrendered City is a land of four battles, and everyone in the room has the power to know what they are going to face and make a choice.

However, it seems that the four of them are not worried about the situation they are currently facing, at least not yet.

The excessive casualties had already caused the morale of the cavalry captain to drop to a terrible level, and the experiment that Huo Quzhi had done before made the soldiers full of suspicion about Yun Lang, the military horse.

Fortunately, Yun Lang carried this matter alone, otherwise, without them, they would have a sense of distrust of Huo Quzhi, which is the most terrible thing.

After the end of a big war, the soldiers should rest, this is a common sense, there are no male soldiers under a long battle, which is what many generals must pay attention to when arranging war.

In the past year, the cavalry captain has been fighting for half a year, and every battle is extremely tragic, although it ended relatively quickly, the battle damage is very serious.

At the earliest, Yun Lang set off from Shanglin Yuan with less than 1,800 soldiers, and there were more than 400 soldiers in Baishan Mountain, and Yun Lang had no choice but to deceive 500 male soldiers from Xie Changchuan, and finally made up for the lack of soldiers, and as a result, he was surrendered to the city in a battle, and lost more than 800 ......

The lack of qualified soldiers has always been the weakness of the surrendered city, and if the Huns knew that the surrendered city was now so stretched, they would not have let go of this city of great strategic importance to them.

"Spring and summer are extremely important for the Huns, at this time they generally do not come to fight with us, once the autumn war horses are fat and powerful, I am afraid they will not be able to hide it."

Yun Lang said the point that was most beneficial to his side.

"We can't always rely on fooling, if we go on like this, we will only harm ourselves, the two armies are fighting, strength is strength, maybe we can coax for a while, and after a long time, there will be nothing to hide, and at that time it will be the beginning of our bad luck."

Obviously, Huo Qubing didn't think so, and he thought that the top priority was to replenish the troops and completely restore the strength of the cavalry captain.

"I estimate that Ah Xiang can bring us two thousand soldiers, this is one thing I can think of at present, after all, before I came to the border village, His Majesty promised me to give me enough soldiers!"

Yun Lang nodded and said, "Now it depends on Ah Xiang's ability." ”

Zhao Ponu, who had been silent for a long time, said in a low voice: "We still want to send troops to the grassland to continue our great cause of Xuanfu?" ”

Yun Lang sighed and said: "Don't Xuanfu, who knows that this land is already our big man's decision."

I'm still going to collect taxes this fall, and the tribes that have already been pacified will need to strengthen their ties, and the untamed tribes will need to be persistently attacked......"

Huo Quzhi was silent for a moment and said, "Give me three hundred riding ......"

This is a dangerous number, if you encounter a larger tribe, or encounter several tribes joining forces, the three hundred cavalry under Huo Quai's command may not be able to gnaw these hard bones.

Five hundred people defending the city is also an extremely dangerous number, and this manpower may not even be enough to fight the city walls.

Li Dang slapped the table and said: "Then don't go out of the city, don't declare the appeasement, give up, give up the outside of the city completely, run the city wholeheartedly, wait for Ah Xiang to bring the troops over, and we will kill him again!" ”

Yun Lang smiled bitterly: "Ah Kang, what we are talking about is actually not a matter of Xuanfu or not, if we give up the grassland, the Huns will immediately occupy the grassland, and know that our troops are weak, and the consequences will be even worse." ”

Li Dang looked at Yun Lang and said, "Must be appeased?" ”

Huo Quzhi smiled: "This is to replace defense with offense, and it is the only thing we can do at present." ”

Xie Ning sighed and said, "I hope Ah Xiang can come sooner, if it goes on like this, we will really collapse." ”

Without troops, there is no strength, and even if there are 10,000 ways to surrender the city, it will not be able to carry out.

Yun Lang gave up the summer tax, and he could use the frequent wars as an excuse to appease the people, and if he even gave up the autumn tax, those herdsmen would immediately know that the Han people did not have the power to rule them.

Unconsciously, the surrendered city has become a whirlpool, a whirlpool that can swallow everyone, and the war with the Huns will definitely continue, and the two thousand soldiers and horses brought by Cao Xiang will still lose most of the battle next year.

This has formed the most taboo refueling tactics of the soldiers, and formed the second Bai Mountaineering, if it really becomes that appearance, Huo Quzhi and Yun Lang are the second Xie Changchuan and Pei Yan.
