The changes in the soldiers of the Han army, especially the soldiers of the Liangzhou army, Huangfu Song naturally noticed it, and after some thought, he immediately sent someone to summon Fuquan to discuss pacification matters.

After receiving the order, Fu Quan of course guessed a little bit of Huangfu Song's intention to summon him, and he also knew the importance of the matter, so he immediately called several people around him to go to the Xiaquyang County Office where Huangfu Song was located.

It's just that in Fuquan's heart, there is also a bit of speculation, it stands to reason that this appeases the army, Huangfu Song can go alone, with his current reputation as the Marquis of Huaili and Jizhoumu, the generals must be more convinced of him, although his deputy general has military exploits and qualifications, but in fact, he can't say anything.

Since Huangfu Song was named the pastor of Jizhou by the imperial court, because the Han army drawn from all over the world has not yet been rewarded, he still gathers in the county seat of Xiaquyang, and he himself has not gone to Yecheng, the seat of the Jizhou Assassin History Department, but has been staying in the county seat of Xiaquyang to deal with official affairs in the state.

This also suffered a lot of officials in the county town of Xiaquyang, the highest governor of the state and county is here, these officials who have just been selected to take office in the county seat of Xiaquyang after the Han army pacified the Yellow Turban Moth thieves in Taiping Road, naturally did not dare to be careless, and took great care of Huangfu Song, for fear of angering the direct prefect of this famous Han general.

In later generations, many people will misinterpret the state pastoral system, and it is even rumored that Liu Hong allowed Liu Yan to reopen the state pastoral system, which caused the main reason for the chaos of the princes in the late Han Dynasty, which is actually wrong.

The state pastoral system has existed since ancient times, and its name has been since December of the first year of Emperor Suihe of the former Han Dynasty, when "the history of the assassination of the ministry and the change of the state pastoral", it has been, which is the beginning of the establishment of the state pastor in the Han Dynasty. At that time, Prime Minister Gaoling Marquis Zhai Fangjin thought: The righteousness of "Spring and Autumn" is to use the noble to govern the lowly, not to be humble. The history of the assassin is a doctor, and the two thousand stones are not accurate. It is to play the history of stabbing and reform the state pastor.

Later, to the second year of Emperor Jianping, Yangxiang Marquis Zhu Bo was still playing the history of the assassination when he was the imperial history doctor, so it was changed to the history of the assassination, and after the second year of Yuanshou, he was reverted to the state pastor, and Wang Mang was still placed in the state pastor, during which the state pastoral system was used until the eighteenth year of the Guangwu Emperor of the current dynasty.

Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu ordered to "dismiss the state pastor and put the history of assassination" because the world had been decided, and it was necessary to weaken the localities, strengthen the centralization of power, and reduce the power of the governors of prefectures and counties. But Liu Xiu still placed the twelve people in the history of assassination, and its system was slightly different from that of the Western Han Dynasty, but from the title it was restored to the name of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty.

At this time, although the Han Dynasty still uses the position of the assassin history, it does not mean that the state pastor is not disregarded, generally speaking, the imperial court will still use the position of the assassin to govern a state under non-major special circumstances. However, the Taiping Road Yellow Turban Moth thieves caused chaos in the world, almost wiped out the Han Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, Jizhou for the Taiping Road rebellion mastermind Zhang Jiao's three brothers' base camp, if the post of assassin to govern Jizhou, obviously lack of strength, so at this time Huangfu Song was due to the time, was awarded the post of Jizhou pastor by the Han court.

As for Liu Yan's suggestion to open a state pastor in the future, it was just to clarify the suggestion of selecting Lieqing and Shangshu as state pastors, of course, Liu Hong naturally knew the disadvantages of completely using state pastors to govern a state, so in the early days, after Liu Hong approved the "reset of state pastors", he only approved three state pastors, instead of opening up all the authority of state pastors.

Among them, only Liu Yan is the pastor of Yizhou, Huang Wan is the pastor of Yuzhou, and Liu Yu is the pastor of Youzhou, compared to the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, he only set up three state pastors, and two of them are relatives of the Han family, which shows that Liu Hong is very cautious about this matter. Of course, later before Liu Hong was critically ill, he named Dong Zhuo as the pastor of the state and ordered him to hand over his soldiers and horses to Huangfu Song to rule, which was also Liu Hong saw the ambition of Dong Zhuo, who was full of wings and had many soldiers, and issued an edict to promote him, but in fact, it was a wise move to deprive Dong Zhuo of his military power.

It's a pity that although the strategy is good, Liu Hong didn't waste time and died early, and after Liu Hong's death, no one in the central court suppressed it, and the state pastor placed by the Han Dynasty can be said to be not what the central court is willing to seal, and even many people's state pastor positions are self-appointed or invited by others.

When I arrived at the Xiaquyang County Office, I saw Huangfu Song, and Huangfu Song didn't talk nonsense, don't explain the intention of summoning Fuquan at the moment.

"Liuchuan, Liangzhou has changed, the soldiers of the counties outside the camp outside Quyang have different hearts, but the Liangzhou soldiers are the worst, today the servants want to appease their people, I don't know if you want to go?"

After hearing this, Fu Quan said without thinking: "This is my own job, how dare I resign!" ”

"Good!"

Huangfu Song laughed loudly, and then asked the horses to be prepared and the wine and food used by the army, and he would go to the Han army camp outside the city with Fu Quan. After the Han army captured the county town of Quyang before, in the first few days, they were all guarding in the city, and then the situation was stable, Huangfu Song was afraid that the soldiers would stay in the city for a long time, so he ordered all the Han army, except for those soldiers who were disabled in the battle, and left some necessary garrison soldiers stationed outside the city, and the rest of the Han soldiers and horses returned to the city to station.

At this time, it was almost December, the weather was cold, and this year it was unusually cold in advance, even Fuquan himself was wrapped in a thick fox fur, not to mention the Han army camp outside the city. The soldiers and horses of all the counties of the world gathered here also lost a lot of daily exercises because of the weather. Many soldiers, wrapped in the thick clothes that Huangfu Song had gathered everywhere, lit coals in the camp tent, and drank warm wine to keep warm.

In fact, it stands to reason that the Yellow Turban Moth thieves in Taiping Road are pacified, even if the imperial court can't clearly reward them for a while, they can still let these Han soldiers return to their hometowns in advance, and it is not too late to reward them in the future.

According to this situation, before the first month, the reward of the imperial court must go to Jizhou, as for the reason, it is natural to let the soldiers and horses of the counties go home for the New Year and reunite with their relatives. Of course, if among these Han troops, if there are those who were sent by the imperial court to Liangzhou to quell the rebellion, it would be a different matter.

Because it was temporary, and Huang Fu Song did not inform the generals in the military camp in advance, so when he arrived at the military camp, with Huang Fu Song's order, the sound of the horn and the sound of the drum in the Han army camp sounded, and countless Han soldiers who were sleeping or were warming up heard this sound, and were slightly surprised, and then they were driven by instinct, dressed in neat clothes and armor, took weapons and rushed to the military camp and school field.

For a while, the camp was in chaos, except for the shouts of the soldiers, the sound of the soldiers' various panicked preparations. However, it was only a few quarters of an hour, and the Han army in the camp had already assembled in the school field, which was the soldiers and horses of the strong man, even if the war was decided and the weather was cold, but the quality of professional soldiers should have never been missing.

As the generals of each department reported to Huangfu Song, after the soldiers and horses under their command were assembled, Huangfu Song was on the stage of the school parade, looked at the Han generals with different faces under the stage, and directly began to comfort the troops.

To tell the truth, Huangfu Song's language is very short, he was born in Jiangmen, and he has stayed in the army for a long time, so he naturally knows that he doesn't need nonsense to pacify the army. After concisely stating that the imperial court would not harm any of the generals loyal to the Han Dynasty because of some trivial matters, Huangfu Song used his name and Fu Quan's name to vouch, and then asked Fu Quan to talk to the army.

At this time, Fu Quan saw the expressions of the generals of the Han army in the audience, and finally understood why Huang Fu Song called him to come to the military camp to appease the generals by name.

What identity?

Naturally, it is Fuquan's unique identity as a relative, and in a certain aspect, he said that the Han Dynasty would not harm the meritorious ministers, which can make the generals of the Han army think that this is from Liu Hong's instructions, and it is more useful than the so-called Liu Han clan relatives saying this. As for the reason, a cousin of today's son and a cousin of the current crown prince, these two identities are enough to reassure everyone.

Huangfu is not a mediocre person, of course he understands the truth of appeasing the army's heart, and he also knows that just he, the main general, will not have much effect, even if he is from the world's well-known Liangzhou Jiangmen Huangfu clan, even if his uncle is one of the "Liangzhou Sanming" Huangfu Gui, it is not good.

After Fu Quan finished talking with the soldiers, he talked with Huangfu Song for a few words, and then went to the counties to appease the soldiers, after all, ordinary soldiers and soldiers were lucky enough to rely on language to fool, but these Han generals and officers were not simply talking nonsense on the school platform, only by appeasing them could they really pacify the Han army.

Among the Han army, in addition to the cavalry to which Fuquan belongs, there are those who have been following him since the previous year after conquering Xianbei, and it is slightly better for them to follow him in the north, after all, they have also fought countless battles with Fuquan, so they naturally trust Fuquan relatively speaking. Other Liangzhou Qiang soldiers who were recruited by Huangfu Song and accompanied the escort Sima Fu Xie, the assistant Sima Liyi and other Liangzhou clans entered the pass to quell the rebellion, all fearing that the Han Kingdom would indiscriminately kill them as traitors.

At that moment, Fuquan immediately recruited Sima Qiangliang, the Qiang man with the highest military rank under his command, who was originally the first to submit to Fuquan and took the initiative to send troops to help Fuquan conquer the son of the chieftain of the small Qiang tribe in Xianbei. However, after the Han army conquered Xianbei, he took the initiative to stay in the army, unwilling to return to the tribe, it is said that he has many fathers and sons, even if he returns to the tribe, it is estimated that he has not lived well as an officer of the Han army, not to mention that the Han people's flower world is definitely better than the Qiang people.

Strictly speaking, Qiang Liang is a typical example of admiring the king and taking the initiative to naturalize and be willing to be a Han Chinese, which is also the reason why Fu Quan promoted him to be Sima in the army. In addition to his exploits in the battle against Xianbei, it is also to set an example for him among the Qiang people who are willing to follow him, so that more Qiang soldiers will take the initiative to obey him.

This is the same as many Liangzhou warlords in the late Han Dynasty in history, relying on the Qiang soldiers to start their careers, such as Dong Zhuo and Ma Teng, all of whom put their hearts into the Qiang soldiers under their command, and then cooperated with the elite of the Liangzhou Han army, and finally won the party, that is, Liu Bei later, the same.

The historical Shu Han, to a large extent, had to rely on the military strength of the Qiang people to support themselves in the Three Kingdoms. Among them, in addition to the Qiang people's good impression of Liu Bei, the rest is Liu Bei and even the later Shu Han, the promotion of generals from Qiang people or with Qiang blood makes them willing to die for the weak Shu Han.

As for the Qiang people having a good impression of Liu Bei, of course, the reason is not the banner of the continuation of the Han dynasty played by Liu Bei, but the real reason lies in an inconspicuous thing, that is, yak tail.

That's right, it's a yak tail, which seems ridiculous, but it's real.

Liu Bei grew up in a poor family, so he could only follow his mother to sell shoes and weave mats as a business, and weaving mats made him inevitably form an indissoluble bond with the Qiang people's specialty yak tail. So much so that in his later actions, because of his familiarity with the Qiang people, the treatment of the Qiang people, and what Liu Bei did, made the Qiang swear to the death.

Since Liu Bei established Shu Han, the cavalry of the Qiang tribes such as Qingming followed Liu Bei from birth to death all the year round, and was especially valued by Zhuge Liang and repeatedly mentioned in many letters; In addition, Ma Chao, who made great contributions to Liu Bei's occupation of Yizhou, also has Qiang blood, although Liu Bei was estranged for some reasons later, but he still gave heavy power; Even when Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan and the Northern Expedition, the Qiang people in Liangzhou all responded in groups; What's more, Jiang Wei, the last general who sacrificed his life for the Han Dynasty, is also an out-and-out Qiang person, as his surname "Jiang" shows. While the Han Dynasty had burst like a soap bubble in the minds of most Han Chinese, the Qiang people were still fighting for it.

Qiang Liang was born in Beidi County, because he has the ability to shoot eagles, and he is the son of the Qiang chieftain, and his prestige among the Qiang people is also very high.

It would be best for him to come forward to appease the people.

However, in order for Qiang Liang to appease his people, he must first be reassured, after all, in the final analysis, the tribe that rebelled against Qiang in the north first does not know if there is his father's tribe. If anything, whether his father was forced to participate or actively plotted rebellion, it would undoubtedly be detrimental to him. Of course, in other words, if Qiang Liang, the biggest suspect, believes in the Great Han, what reason do the other Qiang people have to be afraid of the Great Han?

And the rebellion was coerced, which is also very likely, the Han and Qiang Hundred Years War, all the Qiang rebellions, were not all Qiang people took the initiative to provoke, all of them were one or two tribes to provoke trouble, and then with the expansion of the situation, eventually led to all the Qiang people, either active or passive, can only fight to the death with the Han Dynasty.

Fu Quan found him and explained: "You have been fighting with Gu for several years, entering the Central Plains from outside the Saiwai before and after, traveling thousands of miles without calculation, destroying countless enemies, making great achievements for the Han Dynasty, and being in the high position of Sima. ”

"......" Qiang Liang pursed his lips silently, and did not speak, in the final analysis, his identity is too sensitive, so sensitive that he, a naturalized Qiang who only wants to be a Han Chinese, does not dare to reveal a trace of nostalgia for his hometown.

"Could it be that you don't believe in loneliness?"

Qiang Liang was frightened by Fuquan's question, and hurriedly replied: "What the prince said, Liang is confident, but since the rumors in the army, the court has repeatedly rewarded and punished biased actions, and the military marquis is trustworthy, but it is difficult to believe the court!" ”

"Don't worry! Lonely here, no one dares to move! Fu Quan said in a straight voice, Qiang Liang did not call himself "Zhonglang" in his words, but used his title of Marquis of Yangdu, and he was still looking at himself as the master, which has shown his mind, of course he wants to protect him.

As for Qiang Liang's biased rewards and punishments in the imperial court, it naturally refers to the fact that after meritorious service, the guards Sima Fu Xie and others, after making meritorious contributions, can be made marquis but lose their marquis because of the impeachment of the upper echelons of the court, which naturally greatly suppresses the trust of these generals to the imperial court, and wants to disrespect the Beijing master in the future, which also has this part of the reason.

"The prince is gracious, and the good will die!"

Looking at Qiang Liang, who was excited, Fu Quan said again: "Good! Now there is only one thing that needs to be done? ”

"What?"

"There are countless Qiang people in the army, and they want to persuade the Qiang to make them live well in the army and not make trouble. They are all meritorious ministers of the Han Dynasty, and they have nothing to do with it, and they have nothing to do with it, and they will be relieved when the court rewards are issued! ”

Hearing what Fu Quan said, Qiang Liang hesitated for a moment, and then saluted with a solemn face: "No." ”

His family and friends may be rebellious to the Han State now, but he is now a general of the Han State, and he has to persuade the same clan to die for the Han Dynasty, and even in the future, they may meet on the battlefield.

Seeing Qiang Liang's expression, Fu Quan naturally understood his thoughts, but he had nothing to persuade, so he could only gently pat him on the shoulder a few times, and then shook his head and left. If he sees it right, he should know what choice he has to make, otherwise, even if he dies for himself for a few years, then he will not blame himself for not recognizing the feelings of the former battlefield.
