Putting aside the chaos in Guzang City, the time returned to twenty years ago, Zhang Jun, who had completely ended the battle, led the Liang army to set off from Liujiazhai, all the way to the west, marched more than 100 miles to reach the outside of Caohan City, and then shook a shot, and then went north, and soon marched to Taoshui Zhipan, and then traced along the river.

Today, this team is no longer the remnants of the original army of only more than 300 people, but a huge team of 2,000 people. But where did such a rapid increase in population come from?

All this is also thanks to Patriarch Liu.

Since that day, Zhang Jun led the army to annihilate the invading Huns with fewer victories and more victories, the combat effectiveness of the Liang army has been infinitely magnified in the eyes of this old man, and it has become an invincible and mighty army. The slight dissatisfaction and doubts in his heart were all gone, and he not only actively organized the villagers to follow the Liang army to move westward, but also took the initiative to ask for his life, wanting to cross the mountains and mountains to contact more than a dozen other remnant villages to inform them of the good news that Wang Shi had arrived.

When Zhang Jun learned of Patriarch Liu's plan, he did not hesitate to send a few elite members of the Liang Army who were tall and majestic-looking to accompany him. The purpose of his move was to show the demeanor of the Liang Army to the remnants as much as possible.

Therefore, these sergeants wore helmets and armor and accompanied Patriarch Liu in full armor for four or five days in the mountains without stopping.

First of all, not every remnant village can have this scale like Liujiazhai, and a few are even similar to Zhangjiazhai, which has been swept away by the Huns, and they themselves are living in dire straits; Secondly, most of the survivors' lives are very difficult, basically below the food and clothing line, especially in the winter season, when the beasts have not yet come out, but the stored grain has been eaten, and many people can only boil dry; In the end, the Jin Dynasty is still a unified Central Plains Dynasty, not only ended the world for a hundred years of chaos, but also had a short period of prosperity, most of these Han remnants still think about the old well, every day is looking forward to the restoration of the king to the north, the people are upside down.

Therefore, the moment these majestic soldiers appeared in front of them wearing the two-crotch armor that only the Jin Dynasty was equipped with in the Chinese army, it was enough to bring tears to the eyes of the elderly people in the village! After learning about the strong combat effectiveness of the Liang Army and the prestige of the Ear-Cutting Army from the mouth of the patriarch Liu, the villagers almost didn't think about it, and all of them joined the team of moving west without hesitation.

Patriarch Liu's activities could have such a result, and Zhang Jun and his subordinates were simply overjoyed. At that moment, he ordered Song Pei, the military advisor, Suo Sanjie, the master of the craftsman team, and Jiang Wan, the chief bookkeeper of the march, to work together to collect and manage all the surplus grain in the village, and then register everyone.

As a result, halfway through the operation, it came to a standstill, first, some people secretly hid grain and were unwilling to hand it over; The second is that it is used to remember that the silk cloth is insufficient, and the population is too large to be counted.

For the first point, Zhang Jun decisively let Hu Shuo lead the guards to act as a villain, and all those who were unwilling to hand over food were thrown out of the team without mercy!

Human beings are collective animals, and the strength of individuals is very weak, in this deep mountain and old forest, if they leave the protection of the group, it is difficult for individuals to survive, and all the villagers understand this. Soon, the voices of resistance died down, and after several repeated searches, it was finally confirmed that not a single grain of grain had been stolen.

As for the second problem, it didn't stump Zhang Jun, and it was not easy to do without silk cloth and paper, and the wooden card was issued! When all the villagers got a card with the fragrance of new wood, their excitement was overflowing. In ancient times, only officials would be issued waist cards, not to mention a wooden sign with only a few words (e.g., "Niu Er, seven feet high, beardless, with a mole under the chin"), but it was indeed a symbol of status.

After counting, there were already 2,000 people in the westward migration team, including the Liang army, although most of them were old and weak, but there were also young and strong men. These people have sharpened their perseverance in the midst of hardship, and as long as they are trained, they will soon become an elite army.

With such resources, Zhang Jun naturally would not waste them, and after Han Hu and Zhou Tong's screening, another 300 people were added to the army. So far, Zhang Jun has an armed force of nearly 1,000 people under his command.

On the way west, although the road was long and very difficult, no one was reluctant, because the general had spoken, as long as the river was crossed, everyone would have a share of the land, and everyone would have a peaceful child.

In this way, more than 2,000 people marched mightily on the land of Longxi, with the cooperation of Orion and Scouts, they encountered the large Xiongnu tribe and bypassed it far away, and when they encountered the small Xiongnu tribe, they let go of the plunder.

After sacking several small tribes in succession, almost everyone saw blood, even the village women.

First, the Liang army was responsible for rushing to the front and destroying the resistance of the Huns, and then the villagers swarmed up. Because the heads of the Huns can be replaced, almost everyone in the family has a share when they do it.

All the men who were more than the height of the wheels were cut off and built into a Beijing view; Women and children were tied up and taken away as trophies. Zhang Jun thought that such a cruel method would make the villagers feel uncomfortable, but reality soon shattered all his expectations. Far from having any psychological pressure, these remnants were in high spirits.

Han'er killing Hu'er is a natural thing! Besides, the field is more expensive than the life gold, as long as the field can be exchanged, what does it matter if a few people die in the family? As long as there is a land, even if there is only one male left in the clan, it can be restored after more than ten years, what are you afraid of?

In addition to the Xiongnu tribes, the Han Wu forts everywhere in the north were also the objects of Zhang Jun's key visits. In dealing with these local forces, Zhang Jun did not take drastic actions, but used gentle means to negotiate.

Anyone who has the ability to build a fort for self-defense has a considerable armed force. Moreover, these dock forts are generally built in dangerous places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, unless they are filled with appointments, it is basically impossible to break through with Zhang Jun's strength at this time.

Two thousand people seems to be a lot, but there are only 1,000 soldiers among them, and most of them are new soldiers, basically no combat power, it is okay to bully small tribes in a good fight, if it is a battle to fill in trenches and climb walls, I am afraid that it will collapse by itself.

What's more, they are both Han Chinese, and the owner of Wubao usually sends a sum of food "to the army" in order to form a good fate. Since ancient times, the Hu people have not had a hundred years of national fortune, and I don't know when the king will recover his homeland. In order to avoid being liquidated at that time, a little grain is really nothing.

Don't underestimate these dock forts scattered all over the land of Longxi, they are fundamentally different from those remnant villages. In the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, the remnants of the world were equivalent to black households, but these dock forts were a dignified form of local organization. In later generations, the suzerainty supervision system of the Northern Wei Dynasty evolved from this, and the lord of the Wubao undertook taxes and conscription to the imperial court, but he was absolutely independent in the fort, with all responsibilities such as administration, military and economy.

With the power of the Huns Liu Yao and Zhao Shile, they would never dare to take the dock fort, not because they couldn't beat it, but because there were too many of them. If it really starts with Wubao, then the northern convenience will really be everywhere, and no one will be able to sit on the emperor's seat.

Dock forts are generally gathered together as a unit of clan blood relatives, and also accept homeless people. Not only do they have an armed force that all the people are soldiers, but they also have a completely self-sufficient economic model that requires almost no external communication, so whether it is the Han State or the Zhao State, they can only turn a blind eye to them. Even the later powerful Northern Wei regime did not dare to ban it outright, but used the three-chief system to redeem the suzerain's supervision and protection system.

Of course, that's all for later.
