Chapter 23: The Origin of the Qiang Canal

Ji Lou Yuan's face was playful, his voice was short and powerful, and he was blocked in his heart by Ji Lou Yuan, and Qiang Qu twitched his face twice unnaturally, not knowing how to interface.

Ji Lou Yuan straightened his body and looked at Qiang Qu: "King Youxian, let's talk about what is going on here!" Seeing Ji Lou Yuan change his words, Qiang Qu was obviously relieved, since Ji Lou Yuan became the queen of Zuoxian, the power has become more and more awe-inspiring, and every move has made Qiang Qu feel bottomless.

"Since Hu Zheng succeeded to the throne, he has vigorously suppressed you and me, and acted recklessly, which has caused dissatisfaction among many noble leaders. Selfish and arrogant, this hunting conflict with Zhonglang General Zhang Xiu, and even shot his horse, which is simply an act of looking for death. We are already the enemy of the Xianbei people, if we offend the Han again, it will be extremely detrimental to the future development of our Huns! Qiang Qu said angrily.

Ji Louyuan quietly watched Qiangqu's performance, he didn't make a sound, and Qiangqu couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Facing Ji Lou Yuan, who was expressionless, seeing that he looked like he was ignoring it, a wave of anger surged in his heart, and he snorted coldly.

Ji Lou Yuan was not in a hurry, and said to the Qiang channel: "You Xian Wang doesn't have to go around, if you have any ideas, just say it!" Qiang Qu said very decisively when he heard this: "This king has contacted many noble subordinates, and wants to drive Hu Zheng down to the throne, and now he has come to seek the support of King Zuoxian." For the development of my Huns, as long as the call for conquest is out of position, we are willing to serve King Zuoxian as a single Yu. ”

"Oh? Does this king and Hu Zhengben have no father-son relationship? For the sake of the peace and tranquility of my people, it is not impossible to support it, but what does this king need to do? Also, doesn't the Right Virtuous King have any thoughts about this single throne" The expression on Ji Lou Yuan's face finally converged and became serious.

Qiang Qu had already prepared, and without thinking too much, he said: "King Zuo Xian, as a descendant of the Xuan clan, has an identity, status, and prestige, and is the best candidate to inherit Shan Yu's position. This king is public-minded, and he does not dare to covet the single position, and I believe that my Huns will be able to go further and develop under the leadership of King Zuoxian! ”

"Let's talk about what we need to do!"

Seeing that Ji Lou Yuan obviously had an "intention", Qiang Qu hurriedly said: "There is no need for anything else, as long as the warriors under the command of King Zuo Xian watch the five thousand troops of Xulian Tiju in the royal court, and the rest are handed over to this king and the nobles to deal with, the big thing will be done!" ”

How could an internal usurpation struggle be so simple, and Qiangqu was so righteous and Lingran, Ji Lou Yuan mocked in his heart, and asked: "What is the plan of the Right Sage King, can you tell me in detail?" ”

Qiang Qu didn't seem to have much vigilance against Ji Lou Yuan, and he was very generous to tell the plan, calling for a love of hunting, and he wanted to find an opportunity to organize a noble alliance army and take the opportunity to sneak attack it. The plan is simple and practical, and the call has become more and more arrogant, careless, and unprepared, and the way to death.

smiled faintly: "Since the Right Virtuous King is so honest, this king will wait for the Right Virtuous King to move, and the slaughtering army of the Ju Ji will be handed over to this king!" ”

Seeing Qiang Qu striding out of the big tent, Ji Louyuan's face became gloomy, and he pondered for a while, and smiled. Although they have their own ghosts, they also use each other and have the same goal, it depends on who can have the last laugh!

At the beginning of the light rain, Meiji became sunny again, and the horses' hooves lightly trampled on the wet grass, splashing water-stained grass clippings. The warm sunlight shone on the body, dispelling a lot of the haze in the bottom of my heart, and the gloomy mood seemed to be much better.

Dozens of Hun warriors closely guarded Ji Lou Yuan, and there were hundreds of soldiers scattered around the periphery to patrol and patrol, layer upon layer, strictly protecting Ji Lou Yuan's safety, and not giving others the slightest opportunity to assassinate. Ji Lou Yuan spared his life, after an assassination, he attached great importance to his own safety, and Fu Gu Huaijing was sent to lead the army for training, and when the situation was uncertain, he couldn't be careless.

In the northeast of Meiji, more than 20,000 acres of fertile land have been reclaimed, connected by ditches, and thousands of Han people are working in the fields. It's spring, and at a glance, the green millet stems and leaves are growing vigorously, forming a beautiful and unique scenery on this Hetao grassland.

This field will produce a large amount of food, and it can provide for the survival of many people, Ji Lou Yuan is really happy to see it. Seeing Ji Lou Yuan inspecting, the Han people working in the fields respectfully put down their work and saluted. Reverence for his status as the king of Zuoxian is one thing, and on the other hand, perhaps genuine gratitude.

Some of these Han people are refugees and refugees collected by Ji Louyuan, and some are slaves from Xianbei and the Xiongnu, but now they all have only one identity, that is, tenants under Ji Louyuan, the Zuoxian King of the Southern Xiongnu. Under his protection, he cultivated for him, and turned over his grain.

Compared with the big families in the Han realm, Ji Louyuan has to be "kind" to the land, only collecting seventy percent of their harvest, and there is no tax in Meiji, and the land in the Hetao is extremely fertile, even if the remaining thirty percent, it is enough for these Han people to be warm. Therefore, these Han people, who had already despaired of the world, had a sense of rebirth in Meiji, the territory of the Huns.

Large and small thatched bamboo huts stand in the fields, and under the protection of Ji Louyuan, they have basically resettled here, enjoying the peace that cannot be achieved in Dahan.

The horses galloped, Ji Lou Yuan inspected his own people, a large area of grassland east of Meiji, were occupied by Ji Lou Yuan's subordinates, animal husbandry, tens of thousands of people, very strong.

The Xianbei people who were captured and plundered from the surrendered city in the sixth year of Xiping were all beaten into slaves and rewarded to the warriors, which made the warriors happy and envied. With the help of those thousands of slaves, Ji Louyuan's soldiers had more time to hone their killing skills and train their combat formations.

There are 5,000 soldiers who can fight, and it is the most elite of the Huns, and there is nothing that can be compared with it.

To Ji Lou Yuan's surprise, the most elite, the most capable of fighting, and the strongest desire to fight among the 5,000 people turned out to be the captive army led by Fugu Huaijing and Wan Qijian, which was crazy and bloodthirsty, and it was terrifying. In comparison, the elite soldiers of Ji Lou Yuan's headquarters have fallen behind.

In the place not far from the big tent of Ji Louyuan, a bamboo liao was built, with green shade and forest, clean and elegant. Inside was the sound of neat children reading, and it was very pleasant to listen to Ji Lou Yuan. In the middle, the middle-aged Confucian with gray hair and a majestic bearing is none other than Cai Yong, a great Confucian of the Han Dynasty.

At the same time, for the same reason, Cai Yong was demoted, passed through the West River, and was decisively intercepted by Ji Louyuan. Sent an envoy to Luoyang to bribe the eunuchs, and soon an edict came from Luoyang. The general meaning is that you Cai Yong is capable and talented, has many ideas, is full of reason, has high prestige, is old, and goes to Shuofang to blow sand and the son of heaven can't bear it, change a comfortable environment, go to the Xiongnu to educate foreign races, spread Chinese culture, if you can make the Xiongnu completely attached, it is also a great achievement.

In this way, Cai Yong reluctantly stayed in Meiji, and seriously began to educate the Xiongnu, writing books and sayings. Ji Louyuan is very cooperative with the collection of school-age children of the tribe to force them to recognize Chinese characters, learn Han etiquette, and the road to sinicization of the Xiongnu begins with children. As for those Han people brought back from the surrendered city, they were incorporated into the army and contributed to the construction of the army as Chinese soldiers.

For Ji Louyuan, when he saw his "teacher" again, he also felt a little emotional, but people are wrong. What made Ji Louyuan happiest was that Cai Yan came to his "side" again, but the little girl was obviously very afraid of herself, a Hun barbarian, which made Ji Louyuan very depressed!
