Guzang Chengtou. []

Dust billows up from the horizon, and smoke rises from the opposite side, constantly striking Cherrigi's already fragile mind.

"The Han people came so fast...... Judging from the smoke, there are probably 40,000 or 50,000 people! Cherrigi muttered. Even though it was late autumn, Cherrigi still couldn't help but sweat.

This defeat, especially the final one, caused the Qiang people to suffer heavy losses. Fifty percent of the losses were lost in the final rout.

For Cheriji, the loss of these elite centaurs, the vitality of the Qiang people is loud, although it is far from the time to exterminate the clan, but in the next ten years, the Qiang people may only be able to retreat in the Western Regions.

The so-called wounded enemy is 1,000 and self-inflicted damage is 800. Cherriji knew that although the Han army had won, it was no better, and the current Han army was bound to be cleaning up the battlefield and dealing with the wounded, and it was impossible to attack Guzang at least in a short time.

But Cherrigi was wrong, Cherrigi didn't. thought that there would be such a gambler general as Wei Yan who was greedy for merit and did not play cards according to the routine. A large Han army camp was placed in front of Cheriji, and the billowing dust and slowly swaying cooking smoke broke Cheriji's luck mentality.

Cherrigi took a deep breath and said, "Order, withdraw it...... Let's withdraw to the Western Regions. ”

"King, don't we want this Guzang City?"

"Don't! Give up Guzang City and return to the Western Regions. ”

"But the king, the Han army has not yet attacked the city. Wouldn't it be too ...... for them to give up Gu Zang like this?"

"Too what? When the Han army attacks the city, I'm afraid it'll be over! Cherrigi sighed softly. sound, and then said: "I didn't expect the Han army to come so quickly, I thought that I could still rectify the city again, but now it seems that this is impossible......"

"King, there are still many brothers in the city, and we still have the strength to fight!"

"Forget it, this is the place of the Han people after all. Look around here, it's all there. Farmland, even if we Qiang people occupy this place, we won't farm, so let's go back early, lose less people and horses, and retain some vitality! ”

That night, Cheriji led the Qiang people and abandoned Guzang City. Ran back to the Western Regions.

And waited overnight. After receiving the news that Cherrigi had abandoned the city and fled, Wei Yan immediately ordered to enter the city. The Han army recaptured Guzang City bloodlessly.

……

Jiang Wei was holding a booklet in his hand and was counting the spoils of war.

Jiang Wei is not good at counting the loot. However, now there are a bunch of generals in the camp, and Wenchen's nearest is far away in Tianshui, and Jiang Wei can only catch ducks on the shelves.

Jiang Wei put down the ledger in his hand and stretched. After recording this lap, Jiang Wei even felt that he was more tired than he had just experienced a big battle.

"Brother Yin Xian, come quickly......" Jiang Wei sighed softly. Early this morning, Jiang Wei ordered someone to go back to Tianshui to find Yin Xian to help, calculate the time, and the people sent now may not have arrived in Tianshui, and Jiang Wei can only continue to persevere.

"General......" The voice of the colonel came from outside.

Jiang Wei frowned when he heard this, every time he heard this voice, the next thing was the little school who brought another meal of the ledger, so when he heard the little school outside calling "general", Jiang Wei felt helpless in his heart.

"What's the noise, I haven't finished all this here......" Jiang Wei scolded secretly.

"No, the general, the prime minister is here!"

"The prime minister is here?" Jiang Wei stood up violently, with an excited look on his face. It seems that I finally don't have to do the work of counting the results of the battle.

Zhuge Liang walked to the camp unhurriedly, accompanied by Adou with a smile. But this Zhuge Liang's face is not very good-looking.

"Your Majesty, have you really thought clearly, do you want to move the Di people to Yongzhou?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"Prime Minister, I have already promised the Di people, and we have won this battle, even if I want to regret it now, I won't do it."

Zhuge Liang sighed slightly, now that the raw rice has been cooked, Zhuge Liang has no choice but to object, Zhuge Liang had no choice but to speak: "Your Majesty, the ministers on the road to the road have already thought about it, and there are three difficulties for this migratory person to come to Yongzhou. ”

"Prime Minister, please speak."

"This first point, from the Western Regions to Yongzhou, the road is long, and the degree of the people of Di is naturally not as good as marching and fighting, and it takes a long time to reach Yongzhou. I think that when the first emperor withdrew from Xinye, he brought tens of thousands of people, and the daily march was only thirty miles! At that time, the first emperor withdrew, but the people of a city, but now, His Majesty is going to move the people of a clan, and this march will be much slower. I'm afraid that it will be difficult for these Di people to go to Yongzhou for half a year. And in the past half a year, how huge is the amount of grain and grass consumed by the people of Di, has Your Majesty ever thought about it? ”

"Since the first emperor ascended the throne, my Han Dynasty has been in constant war, the Hu people have ravaged Yongzhou, Yongzhou's farmland has been destroyed, this year, all rely on Yizhou's grain storage to maintain. In addition, last year, His Majesty crusaded against the Southern Barbarians, and moved the Wuxi barbarians to Yizhou, and now our country's treasury has long been empty, and the money and grain left by Liu Zhang have also been exhausted. This is the first difficulty! ”

Adou opened his mouth and said: "Prime Minister, I have also taken into account what you said, this grain and grass is indeed a big problem. Therefore, I plan to migrate 50,000 Di people to Yongzhou within the year, to arrive before the spring ploughing, and then use the grain they have planted to supply the second batch of Di people to migrate over. ”

"Your Majesty, in this way, I'm afraid it will take seven or eight years to move all the Di people to Yongzhou!"

"Hehehe, what, Prime Minister, you can't wait? I'm still very young, and you're just a young man, Prime Minister, seven or eight years, I can afford to wait! ”

Zhuge Liang nodded, as Adou said, he is only forty years old this year, and in seven or eight years, he will not be fifty, and Adou will not be thirty years old after seven or eight years. Compared with Dingding the world, these seven or eight years are nothing at all.

Zhuge Liang cleared his throat, and then said: "Your Majesty, many of the living habits of this Di people are different from our Han people, and after all, these Di people are people outside the Fang, who do not obey the indoctrination, and come to my Yongzhou, they will inevitably have conflicts and contradictions with my Han people. Originally, if the implementation of Tuntian, the establishment of the Tuntian camp, the centralized management of the Di people, can offset this matter, but now the Di people are coming, but not for the Tun people, this is not for the Tun people, presumably there will be contact with the Yongzhou Han people, the minister is afraid, the people will change over time. This is the second difficulty! ”

"Well, what the prime minister said is that this is indeed a difficulty." Adou's brows furrowed. This national contradiction has always been the most difficult to resolve. Although the Di people are also a farming nation, but the living habits are definitely different from the Han people, this living habit is a trivial matter, but now Yongzhou has just been looted by the Hu people, the people of Yongzhou hate the Hu people, even if the Di people did not participate in the attack on Yongzhou, in the eyes of the Han people, the Di people are also a member of the Hu people, since they are Hu people, they are sinners who rob their own property and kill their compatriots, and the crime is unforgivable. This conflict is inevitable.

Thinking of this, Adou couldn't help but think of the era he lived in. Those foreigners with high noses and blue eyes are also from different countries, but for the Chinese, there is no difference between these foreigners. Especially those who were born in the Boxers, as long as they were foreigners, no matter whether they were good or bad, and whether they were old or weak, women and children, they had to be killed. In Adou's opinion, this is very despicable.

"Prime Minister, I really can't help this problem." Adou shook his head helplessly.

Zhuge Liang seemed to have known Adou's answer for a long time, smiled helplessly, and then said: "Your Majesty, this matter between the Han people and the Hu people cannot be reconciled overnight. However, the minister thought that His Majesty only needed to be impartial and treat everyone equally when dealing with the conflict between the Di and the Han people, and naturally the people could be obedient, and if the people were obedient, there would be no great trouble. Just a few minor problems are not a cause for concern. ”

"Now my local officials, all Han people, will inevitably be biased towards the Han people, over time, the Di people will have grievances if they are not satisfied, and if there are grievances, they will be chaotic, so the minister thinks that His Majesty can select officials from among the Di people, and govern the Di with Di, supplemented by Han officials, can keep peace for a long time."

"Well, this matter of selecting officials, compared to me, will be handled by the prime minister!" Adou nodded in agreement.

"Your Majesty, this third difficulty is Fu Jian, the king of Di, how to deal with it?" Zhuge Liang paused, and then said: "The Di people are different from our Han people, and there are still large and small parts among the Di people. These tribes are more or less subordinate to the people, and it can be said that these tribes, just like the princes of the Central Plains, each have their own forces. If the Di people come to Yongzhou, it will be impossible to hold the power as before, each into a party, and each has its own control over life and death. The ministers feared that these tribes would have resentment. ”

"The general subordinates are not enough, those who are willing to join the army can go to the army as generals, those who are highly respected, or they can be officials of my Han Dynasty, it is really not good, seal a liege, give some fiefs, receive a fortune every month, collect taxes and rents every year, and also live a comfortable life, and seal the wife and son. But those large departments, I am afraid that there are no less than tens of thousands of horses under their command, once they lose power, how can they obey! What's more, there is also a king Fu Jian among the Di people, even if His Majesty gives him a king, how can he compare to him as the king of Di! ”

"Prime Minister, those big ministries are really difficult to do. Give them a fictitious position, they will definitely not be convinced, give them a real power position, I am not at ease. As for Fu Jian...... Prime Minister, you don't have to worry, Fu Jian is dead. ”

"Fu Jian is dead? What the hell is going on? Zhuge Liang hurriedly asked.

"Here's how it happened......" Adou told Zhuge Liang what had happened.

After Zhuge Liang heard this, he frowned, and only after a long time did he speak: "Your Majesty, please forgive the minister, you are reckless in this matter, Your Majesty." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Your Majesty, although this Fu Jian is dead, the royal department of this Di people is still there, and Fu Jian's descendants are still there. If this descendant of Fu Jian heard that Fu Jian died here, it would be undoubted! Although the royal department of the Di people in the Western Regions is far away from here, His Majesty's move to Yongzhou will inevitably be frustrated because of this matter. ”

"Hehe, the prime minister is too worried. Now I'm afraid that the king of the Di people has already changed his surname! ”

……

Western Regions, Royal Palace.

Lu Gui sat on the throne that originally belonged to Fu Jian, with a smug smile on his face.

The entire royal tribe has been controlled by the Lu clan, and the soldiers and horses of the Lu clan have begun to prepare to attack the surrounding tribes.

The army of Di people has been brought to the front line by Fu Jian, and only a few strong men are left in each department, and the rest are old and weak. Although there are not many people under Lu Gui's command, only 5,000 people, but at this time, these 5,000 people have become a decisive force, at least near this royal department, no tribe can resist these 5,000 elite warriors.

At this time, Lu Gui's third son, Lu Chuan, walked in, came to Lu Gui, and reported: "Father, the brothers are ready to go out at any time. ”

Lu Chuan's sentence of "father" called Lu Gui's heart was full of joy.

Lu Gui took a slight breath, restrained the joy on his face, reluctantly put on a serious appearance, and said: "Lu Chuan, that Pu Lin and I have always been at odds, you can lead the troops now, go to their Pu clan, and destroy the Pu clan for me." ”

"Father, the Pu family was also a royal family of the Di people back then, although it is declining now, but the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, now counting, the Pu family is also one of the best families among the Di people, are we looking for a few easy to deal with first, and then gnaw on the difficult bone of the Pu family?"

"Confused! It is precisely because the Pu clan is a big clan that we should kill them first, the so-called killing chickens and monkeys, killing the Pu clan, other tribes are afraid, maybe they will surrender directly, and we can save a lot of swords and soldiers at that time! What's more, their Pu clan used to be the royal family of the Di people, and now that Fu Jian is finished, if Pu Lin raises his arms, it may cause us some trouble. So we have to kill Pu first. Lu Gui said.

"Yes, Father, I'll go." After Lu Chuan finished speaking, he retreated.

Lu Gui stood up, walked to the door, looked up to the east, and then took a slight breath: "Is the Central Plains in chaos...... It just so happens that the more chaotic the better, the more chaotic I can fish in troubled waters, and one day, I, Lu Gui, will definitely sit in the main hall of Chang'an Weiyang Palace! ”

……

Night.

Lu Gui was crawling on a thick bear skin, and two beautiful women were sitting next to him, helping Lu Gui massage.

Lu Gui opened his mouth comfortably, and a maid next to him put a plucked grape into Lu Gui's mouth.

"Well, sweet ......" Lu Gui licked his lips with satisfaction. This grape was found here in Fu Jian, and I heard that it was transported from Qiuzi and other places in the west, and only Fu Jian, the king of Di, enjoyed it. Other tribes such as Lu Gui and Pu Lin are large, and they don't have anything to eat.

Touching the very soft bear skin under his body, Lu Gui muttered: "This Fu Jian can really enjoy it, so many good things, even the emperor of the Han Dynasty, I'm afraid there is none!" No wonder he refuses to send troops, if I can enjoy so many good things, I don't want to send troops, and in the end, I have to look at the face of the Han emperor. How good it is to be a comfortable prince in this Western Regions......"

"King, King......" Eager footsteps came from outside, and the waiter ran in in a panic.

"What's the panic, if you have something to say, say it slowly." Lu Gui said with an unhappy face.

"Oh no, oh no, something happened! attacked the Pu brothers, and the whole army was wiped out, and even the third prince was ......"

"What's wrong with the third child?" Lu Gui asked eagerly.

"The third son, he is dead!"

"What?" Lu Gui jumped up violently, stepped forward and grabbed the waiter's collar, and roared angrily: "Tell me quickly, what's going on?" ”

"King, the third prince fell into Pu Lin's ambush, Pu Lin ambushed a lot of people in the tribe, and dug a trap, as soon as the third prince led the people to rush in, he was ambushed and the whole army was annihilated."

"What? Impossible, Pu Lin's people should all be fighting with Cherrigi in Liangzhou, why are they here. ”

"It's true, my lord."

Lu Gui seemed to have lost his soul, sat on the bear skin, and pondered after a long time: "I understand, this Pu Lin left me a hand, he was prepared!" ”

At this time, Lu Gui seemed to have a feeling of falling from heaven to hell. During the day, Lü returned to his spirits and occupied the entire royal department, but at night, Lü Gui found himself with nothing. Without 5,000 elite soldiers, Lu Gui may not be able to gain a foothold in this royal department at all.

Since the moment Lü Gui rebelled and attacked the royal department, Lü Gui has become the target of everyone, but Lü Gui has 5,000 elite soldiers in his hands, and his fist is the largest. Even if someone has bad intentions, they don't dare to do anything with Lu Gui. And now that Lu Gui has lost these 5,000 elite soldiers, and has returned to the same starting line with the surrounding tribes, the taste of this target is not very comfortable.

Of course, Lu Gui didn't know that Fu Jian was dead, so Lu Gui began to worry that Fu Jian would take violent revenge on him when he came back. And there will be more people around.

"No, I have to go!" Lu Gui immediately stood up: "This royal department can't stay anymore, no, there is no place for me here." I...... Where do I go! ”

Lu Gui spun back and forth like a headless fly, while the two maids next to him were so frightened that they hid in the corner, not daring to make the slightest move.

The sound of footsteps came from outside again, and an old man walked in, and Lu Gui saw that it was his father Lu Hai.

"Father's ......"

"I know it all!" Lu Hai coughed lightly, then looked at Lu Gui, and said with some hatred: "Look at you, what kind of panic you have become." We haven't lost yet, it's not time to panic. ”

"Father, teach me quickly, what should I do now?" Lu Gui asked eagerly.

"What to do? At this time, we can no longer rely on ourselves, and we have to find some external forces to help us. ”

"External forces? Father, what are you talking about...... The ones to the west? Lu Gui asked tentatively.

Lu Hai didn't speak, but looked at the two maids behind him, and said, "Kill the two of them, the two of them know too much." ”
