Around October, the Wei army began to withdraw from the land of Sanchuan.

The first to evacuate was the Chenggao army stationed near Yishan.

I have to say that Zhu Hai, the general of the Chenggao army, had a very good strategic vision, and his strategy of using Yishan as a stronghold made the two tribes of Qian and Ling restless for a while.

In fact, in Zhao Hongrun's reserve plan, if the destruction of the Qiang is still not enough to deter the Qiang people, he also plans to build a strategic base in Yishan, and use Luoshui and Yishui to transport a large number of strategic materials to Yishan, waiting for an opportunity to expand the front.

After all, in Zhao Hongrun's view, Yishan is very suitable as a strategic base for the purpose of attacking the land of Sanchuan, and it is far faster and more convenient to send troops to Yishan from Yangzhai than to send troops to Chenggao Pass.

What's more, to the west of Yishan is a flat and vast plain, and it is the grassland hinterland where the Qiang tribe grazes their sheep, which means that as long as Zhao Hongrun sees that the Qiang people are unhappy, he can send a cavalry to kill the sheep of the Qiang people at any time.

However, in view of the fact that after the fall of the Qiangjiao and the defeat of Bitatu, the people of Sanchuan were generally more cooperative, and even the three large tribes of the Qiang, Qian, and Ling tribes also revealed their willingness to make friends with Wei on an equal footing, so Zhao Hongrun dispelled the backup strategy in his heart.

As the saying goes, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, this time you have successfully won over half of the tribes in the land of Sanchuan, Zhao Hongrun is already very satisfied, and there is no need to ask for more.

Therefore, Zhao Hongrun happily made the Chenggao army evacuate Yishan, and "friendly" reminded the tribes of the strategic significance of this hill, in fact, there is no need for him to remind that when the Chenggao army occupied Yishan, the two tribes of the Cheng Gao and the Lings had already realized the importance of this hill.

If nothing else, after the evacuation of the Chenggao army from Yishan, the Qians will inevitably build a tribal camp on Yishan to prevent such a thing from happening again.

In addition, when the Chenggao army evacuated, it joined up with the Shang Shui army that had also withdrawn to Ruocheng at that time, and took away the two war weapons of the Shang Shui army, the crossbow chariot and the catapult, and prepared to use them for the defense of Chenggao Pass.

This is Zhao Hongrun's reward for the help and support given by the Chenggao army and its general Zhu Hai in this battle, after all, Zhu Hai and the soldiers of the Chenggao army were very coveted to help the Shang Shui army defeat the crossbow chariots and detachable catapults of more than 200,000 troops in Qianjiao, and Zhao Hongrun was too lazy to transport these heavy war weapons back to Wei, so he simply gave them to the Chenggao army.

Anyway, he is in charge of the Smelting Bureau, and he can develop newer weapons of war at any time.

During the period when the Chenggao army withdrew to Chenggao Pass and the Shangshui army withdrew to the land, the tribal chiefs and their tribal warriors in the Gong and Luo areas of the "Luoshui Alliance" also followed Zhao Hongrun back to the land.

Among them, it also includes the cavalry of the 50,000 or 60,000 Proto-Horn forces, as well as the families of the 50,000 or 60,000 proto-Horn cavalry who are hostages.

As a punishment for the defeated, the term "Karma" was banned, and the tribes that once existed with the Karma Horn tribe, such as the "Black Horn", "Black Hoof", "Black Sheep" and other tribes, were merged into the Gray Horn tribe of Gu Yigu, and renamed the "Northern Sichuan Tribes Alliance", integrated into a large tribe, with Gu Yigu as the patriarch.

As for Bitatu's adopted son, Bosil, Zhao Hongrun appointed him as the Grand Overseer of the 50,000 Yuan Horned Cavalry, now the "Sanchuan Cavalry" or "Northern Sichuan Cavalry", and his position was equivalent to that of the garrison general of the Wei State.

This is an arrangement made by Zhao Hongrun taking into account the emotions of the people of Qianjiao, which can be regarded as a kind of appeasement.

Before Wei started a war with Korea, the task of the 50,000 cavalry from the north of Sichuan was to patrol the northern border of the land of Sanchuan and make up for the gap in strength caused by the fall of the Qianjiao tribe, so as not to take advantage of the Hu people in the north.

Of course, considering the loyalty of the newly established "Northern Sichuan Tribe" and the "Northern Sichuan Cavalry", Zhao Hongrun decided to let the "Yushui Alliance" control the first two after thinking deeply.

This restraint was mainly reflected in food control, i.e., the northern Sichuan tribe was not allowed to own flocks, and the tribe's food was provided by the Akami Alliance, which meant that if the original Karma people rebelled, the Aka Alliance could starve the herd to death by restricting food.

To put it bluntly, the northern part of Sichuan is like a military camp belonging to the Wei State, and what the patriarch Gu Yigu and the Grand Overseer Bosil need to do is to train these men from the proto-horned forces into excellent cavalry.

In this regard, although Gu Yigu sighed, he was helpless, because they were defeated, and it was a fluke to be alive, even if the harsh conditions were acceptable.

After all, the people of Sanchuan only believe in the strong and will not pity the weak.

Their only way out at the moment is to fight a ten-year war for the Wei State, after all, Zhao Hongrun told them that as long as they serve the Wei State for ten years, they can restore the deprived clan title.

This is their only hope at the moment.

As for the rebellion against the Wei State, I am afraid that those original Qianjiao people dare not think about it, after all, their food and their families are all controlled by the Luoshui Alliance, and the Aries tribe and the Lun tribe of the Qishui Alliance, no matter how you look at it, are already firmly on the side of the Wei State.

Obviously, those who are in the proto-horn forces have no chance of winning.

"Honorable King Su, do you just want me to maintain peace in the northern border of Sanchuan? In fact, I can capture more Hu slaves for King Su and for Wei......"

Before carrying out the patrol mission in northern Sichuan, the Grand Overseer of the Northern Sichuan Cavalry, Bo Xile, privately told Zhao Hongrun, and he didn't know where he heard that Wei needed a large number of laborers.

I have to say that although Bitatu is an arrogant bastard, during his leadership of the Qiangjiao tribe, the Qiangjiao cavalry, no, it should be said that it is the cavalry of northern Sichuan, is simply the Hu tribe that beats the north, and in the past 20 years, I don't know how many Hu slaves have been captured from the north.

It is no exaggeration to say that the southern part of the northern land is simply equivalent to the hunting ground of the cavalry of northern Sichuan, and they can hunt whenever they want.

But after contemplation, Zhao Hongrun rejected this rather tempting idea.

After all, the Qiangjiao is the Qiangjiao, and the Wei State is the Wei State, although the Qiangjiao can wantonly bully the small and medium-sized tribes of the Beidi Hu people, but the Wei State must be committed to maintaining its own public opinion, and more importantly, Zhao Hongrun does not want to push the Beidi Hu people to the Korean side.

"No need, you just have to do your job." Zhao Hongrun commanded.

"Yes."

Bossil stepped back respectfully.

The matter of the northern Sichuan tribe was resolved, and then Zhao Hongrun was busy with the affairs of the Luoshui Alliance.

In all fairness, Zhao Hongrun hoped that the sixty-odd tribes in the Luoshui Alliance would be integrated into one, so that it would be easier for him to control the large tribe when he appointed the chiefs of the Khalegohe, Lubaron, Amutu, and Meng Liang who were friendly to the Wei State as the great patriarchs.

It's a pity that these tribes are not defeated, so the method of forcing the tribes such as Karma Horn, Gray Horn, Black Horn, and Black Hoof into one does not apply to the Tsui Water Alliance, and can only be completed slowly and imperceptibly.

And in this regard, Zhao Hongrun is not in a hurry, after all, he is only fifteen years old this year, and he has time to deal with this matter slowly.

By the time of early October, the reconstruction of the land would be largely completed.

At this moment, there are more than just the tribes and tribes of the Shan tribe in the area of Gong and Luo.

It is no exaggeration to say that from Henan City to Rudi, then to Gongdi, north to Mengdi, and south to the place where the Lun tribe used to graze sheep, this large area of land has become a gathering place for dozens of tribes under the name of "Luoshui Alliance".

This incident once caused many people to complain, after all, such a dense tribe is located that when they graze their sheep, they must drive the sheep to a distant grassland so that the sheep can eat enough grass.

After all, Zhao Hongrun had announced to them that Luodi would become the first 'free trade city', in which they could trade with Wei merchants who went to this place, exchanging sheepskins, wool and other specialties of the Sanchuan tribe for Wei copper coins, as well as grains, salt, tea, wine, seasonings, and even bronze, lacquerware, pearls, etc. from Chu.

However, although it is said that it is a transaction with the "merchants of the Wei State", in fact, the first batch of people who traded with the tribes of the Yushui Alliance were still the household departments of the Wei court.

In the middle of October, the ships flying the banner of the "Great Wei Hubu", loaded with loadloads of grain, tea, salt, and other goods, traveled along the river to the humble temporary port of the land, and after some verbal negotiations, they exchanged for a large number of sheepskins, and even sheep.

The arrival of these Wei imperial convoys made the tribes in the vicinity of the land almost boil, after all, they had never traded with other parties on such a large scale.

And when almost all the Qiang people, Qiang people, and Qiang people were very happy to take their tribe's specialties to trade with the household officials of the Wei State, Zhao Hongrun stood far away, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was worried about something.

"Da Wei, can you really digest so many sheepskins?"

Lu Balon, the patriarch of the Lun tribe, came to Zhao Hongrun's side at some point.

It can be seen that because he has just received the compensation promised by Zhao Hongrun to their tribe, the patriarch is full of smiles and is quite interested.

"My Great Wei, there are six or seven million soldiers and civilians, and thirty percent of them still lack winter clothes to protect against the cold, what do you say?" Zhao Hongrun asked with a smile.

As soon as he heard the two numbers of "six or seven million" and "thirty percent", Lu Balon's eyes lit up, after all, although he was impulsive and reckless, his brain was not rigid, how could he not calculate the huge profits contained in them.

"Do the soldiers and civilians of Great Wei like to eat mutton?" Lubaron asked again.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun sighed lightly, then sighed and sighed: "Most of these sheep transported to my Great Wei are not used for meat......

"What is that for?" Lu Baron was very puzzled, after all, in Sanchuan, meat eating is the most important form of use for killing sheep.

"Cultivated land." Zhao Hongrun exhaled lightly and said lightly: "My Great Wei's cultivated cattle are seriously insufficient, like cattle and sheep and other livestock, which are rare in my Great Wei, but I am reluctant to slaughter and eat meat......

Lu Balon was stunned, and then noticed that Zhao Hongrun didn't seem to be in high spirits, and he didn't feel a little puzzled in his heart.

After all, in his opinion, the current His Royal Highness King Su promoted the fair trade between the Wei State and the Sanchuan tribe, which was a great achievement that was praised by both sides, but why did this King Su look like he was lacking in interest?

Just when Lu Balon was wondering, he suddenly saw Zhao Hongrun's Zongwei Mu Qing galloping from a distance on a horse, and shouted urgently: "Here, Your Highness, someone is coming!" ”

"Who's coming?"

Glancing at Zhao Hongrun, who was showing joy, Lu Balon turned his head to look into the distance, only to see that in the distance, there was a horse-drawn cart loaded with goods, which was slowly coming towards this side.

Lu Balon glanced back at the temporary port, the shipwand of the Wei court household officials who traded goods with the Sanchuan tribe, and then at the lonely horse-drawn carriage in the distance, and scratched his hair in confusion.

As always, he still couldn't guess the thoughts of the young royal family of Wei in front of him. (To be continued.) )
