In mid-October (493 B.C.), Yu Xi finally returned!

Yu Xi set out from Mayi in Taiyuan County in early September, went out of the building to Donghu, subdued Tu Hebu, and took them south to attack Daibei, and cooperated with Mu Xia to complete the attack on Daiwang, realizing the previous big detour plan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After that, Mu Xia stayed to occupy Daicheng and various cities, while Yu Xi continued to run thousands of horsemen to the east and west, pursuing the fleeing captives, and pursued them until the lower reaches of the Sanggan River, the southern foot of Yan Mountain, and the junction of Dai and Yan countries. According to Zhao Wuxian's estimate, it has probably entered the Miyun District of Beijing in the later generations, but it is not at the foot of the Son of Heaven, but it is desolate......

For more than a month, the cavalry ate simple cooked animal meat and hard dried meat that could knock out teeth, drank sticky goat's milk cheese, and galloped long distances on horseback, watching them hold the reins with one hand and control the posture of the horse moving forward.

The results of this sortie were outstanding, they recovered more than ten tribes of all sizes, captured more than 1,000 captives, and tens of thousands of livestock! Daiguo completely fell under the hooves of Zhao Qi's horse.

At this time, it is already early winter, the climate is getting colder and colder, and the grass and trees covered by the grassland are withered and withered. More than 1,000 horsemen rode a larger number of war horses, drove endless cattle, sheep and livestock, and marched in unison along dozens of trampled roads. Dozens of flags are waving in the wind, as if a fleet of ships with open sails are breaking the waves on the yellow sea, and the scene is spectacular.

As for those tribes who dared to disobey and evade the Zhao army and want to run to the grassland, they became prisoners, and followed the horses with a bitter face, and they were likely to be assigned as slaves by Zhao Wuxian's meritorious soldiers in this battle. Several of the chiefs were even killed as an example, and their necks and wrists were tied with ropes, which were very long, until the bridles of the Zhao cavalry. While the cavalry is riding, they are running along, **** feet, staggering, will not be harmed, but the premise is that they can keep up and withstand the winter sun, once they fall behind, they will step on the horses......

Zhao Wuxian did not ask the Zhao army to pay attention to the military discipline of the civilians like when he fought with the Qi State and the Zhi Clan, because this was a naked conquest, and it was the **** that the nation forcibly imposed its rule on the head of another nation, relying on iron and blood, not the Confucian imagination of "Huaide Laiyuan, Siyi Binfu" can be achieved.

Zhao Shangqing greeted Yu Xi and his party outside the city, and after Yu Xi bowed down to offer the captives and livestock that could not be seen at a glance, Zhao Wuxian helped him up and praised: "Secure the border, meritorious fame, lie in the good general, you must not choose." Mucha and you are both old men who have been with me for more than ten years, my vision is really not wrong, who would have thought that in a small stable, there would be two fierce generals? “

"I calculated, you ran back and forth for more than a thousand miles, beheaded nearly a thousand heads, and looked at the wind on behalf of the land, six hundred in five days, one thousand in ten days, so fast, it is really my flying general!"

"General Fly!"

For a while, everyone cheered, and the name of "General Fei" immediately spread throughout the Zhao army and also throughout the Daidi......

……

"In this battle, Daiko gathered nearly 10,000 people, and all the elites went into battle to set up an ambush, intending to hit our army hard with the momentum of waiting for work. But as a result, Dairen was killed and defeated, Daizi was captured and died, Daicheng fell, and some tribes fled for their lives...... In the villain's opinion, for the people of the grassland who believe in the respect of the strong, this war is enough, and now that the general situation has been decided, and Tu He and other tribes are taking the lead in allegiance, the other tribes in the land are busy counting the tribal assets, reorganizing the young and strong team, and preparing to bow down to Shangqing. ”

Zhao Wuxian and Yu Xi used a big stick, and Yi Dun was responsible for throwing carrots at various tribes, he was familiar with the customs here, the situation of various forces, and with the strong strength of Zhao Jun as the backing, it would be twice the result with half the effort. Soon, under the persuasion of Yidun, the famous tribes and their rulers came to Daicheng in person to surrender to Zhao Wuxian.

"Daidi has undoubtedly ushered in its new co-owner, that is the Zhao family, but the next problem is...... How does Shangqing plan to govern the dynasty? ”

Seeing that Yidun stopped halfway through his words, Zhao Wuxian knew that he must have an idea, so he encouraged: "If you are familiar with the land and grassland, no one can compare to you, if you have any ideas, it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"Only ......" Yidun said again about the discussion with Yu Xi last year about "changing Yi from Xia", but he slowly changed the country by relying on trade, and turned it into the Zhao family leading the acceleration of Huahua here.

"The climatic crops in the Daicheng area are actually no different from Taiyuan and Dongyang, at most they are slightly colder. As long as part of the population is moved over and settled every year, it can take root firmly and be managed, and it is a rich capital with abundant and warm land, constant harvest and abundant residents, and merchants gathered. ”

"In addition, the tribes admire the customs of the Jin land, it is better to let the ministers increase their trade, from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, once Rong Dijun is used to living in the palace, eating rice and noodles, wearing silk and satin, there is no way to return to the days of eating buttermilk and drinking blood. Then select the sons of the elders of each tribe to go to Taiyuan, go to Yecheng to live and study, and gradually become Chinese. ”

"Well said." Zhao Wuxian was impressed by Yidun again, the vision of this profiteer was no less than that of his feudal officials, at this time, the Central Plains people generally existed "Rong Di jackal, not to be tired, Zhuxia is intimate, not to abandon also", in the consciousness of this frontier and the other world, Yidun sensitively saw that the gap between different nationalities is largely created by the way of life.

He remembered reading a book called "The Nomad's Choice" in his previous life, which told the story of how the ancients, who were on the border between farming and farming, made a choice between farming, hunter-gatherers, and nomadism. Those who choose the former enter the Great River Plain and become the ancestors of China. Those who choose the latter have become Rong Di in the mountains and grasslands, which is why Jiang Rong and Qi are both descendants of Jiang, and why Hu Rong, Lirong and Jin are both descendants of Ji. One ethnic origin, but divided into Rong Di Huaxia, different ways of life, at a fork in the road in history, they separated.

Therefore, there are no natural nomads, and there are no natural farmers, and the environment determines the customs and cultural differences between the grasslands and farming areas, but in Daidi, especially south of the Sanggan River, the gap with Taiyuan and Dongyang is minimal.

"I decided to form a Daijun on the basis of the old Daiguo." Zhao Wuxian also confided in Yidun about his plan, and he had already relied on his own efforts to show that he had changed from a businessman who could be used to a good minister who could be consulted.

"Because of the Rong Di miscellaneous place, close to the raccoon dog, the situation of the Daijun Council and Taiyuan is not very different, and there are two chiefs of the same status at the same time, the Daijun Taishou is stationed in Daicheng, and its jurisdiction is called 'Dao'......"

He was stunned for a moment: "What is the Tao?" ”

This is Zhao Wuxian's direct plagiarism of the system of the Qin State during the Warring States Period: "In fact, it is also a county, but it is just a county, and the Rongdi barbarians are called the county, and the Rongdi barbarians are called the Dao, and the ultimate goal is to make the Rongdi barbarians of the Tao Huahua and become the tax-paying household of the Zhao family." There are a total of four provinces in the south of Daijun, in order: Hengshan, Dai, Wuzhong, and Hanquan, and the method of governance is similar to that of Taiyuan, but the collection of taxes will be slightly different. ”

With the successful submission of Youcheng to occupy the Poor Fish Hill, the entire Dai Kingdom has fallen into the hands of Zhao Wuxian.

Yidun thought a little in his heart, and found that these four provinces were all south of the Sanggan River, and the area north of the Sanggan River was not the area, Shangqing had other plans?

"Yes, the north and south of the Sanggan River are not quite the same, and they are basically the pastures of various tribes, and it is difficult to rule, so there are no counties. Yu Xi served as the lieutenant, and stationed on the grassland with cavalry to rule the tribes. ”

Yi Dun pondered carefully, and immediately clapped his hands and praised: "Clever! This is a clever move! In this way, the northern governor ruled the felt tent and the government of the tribe, and at the same time defended the surrounding raccoon dogs. The southern county guard is responsible for the county, immigration, and farming rent, and the county can be divided into two, and the rule can be based on customs, which can not only make the combat power of the tribes available to me, but also gradually make the four southern provinces change Rong Di into Huaxia, Shangqing is really a stroke of genius! ”

Zhao Wuxian smiled and said nothing, of course he wouldn't tell Yidun that this brain hole still came from later generations, after being divided into agricultural and pastoral areas along the Sanggan River, Daijun was like a miniature version of the northern and southern official system of the Liao Dynasty......

He thought about it again and said, "Yu Xi's station, it's not appropriate to place it in Tu He, it's better to put it on the royal river through which the tributaries of the Sanggan River pass." ”

The place that Zhao Wuxian fancied was actually Datong in later generations, and it was also the area where agriculture and animal husbandry converged: Baideng, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, who was besieged by the Xiongnu, Danhan Mountain, where the Xianbei leader Tan Shihuai established the Khan Court, Shenhepi, where Tuoba defeated Murong Yan, and Pingcheng, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, were all in that area.

The reason why it is so important is precisely because it is connected to Yandi in the east, Dahe and Heng in the south, the Yellow River in the west, and the desert in the north. In this era, it is still a rich grassland, so that Yu Xi is stationed there, retreating to Pingtaiyuan, Daicheng, and entering Loufu, Linhu, and even the Hezong tribe of Hetao, so that horses, cattle and sheep will continue to enter the Zhao family.

"Yu Xi told me that the trend of the Sanggan River is like a long dragon, Tu He is the tail of the dragon, Daicheng is the belly of the dragon, and the royal river is just like the head of the dragon...... The newly circled riding town next spring will be called Dragon City! ”

Yidun continued to pat his ass: "A good name, like a dragon dominating the northern frontier, makes Rong Di Hu Raccoon bow his head." ”

However, he would not understand Zhao Wuxian's deep meaning after all......

"But to make the dragon city fly, don't teach Humadu Yin Mountain! I hope Yu Xi won't let me down......"

After determining the future of Daidi, Zhao Wuxian raised the case, and before returning to the Jin Kingdom, he had to go to Hanquan in the east.

There, he will meet with the distinguished guests from the Yan Kingdom, the "Dragon City Flying General" before the thousand horses swept the border of the Yan Dynasty, like a winter thunderstorm, and the prestige of Zhao Wuxian had already been passed to the ears of the princes surnamed Ji who lived in the northern Xinjiang......
