What happened in the Amur tribe was also staged in other tribal camps, Pan Xiaogu in the name of reorganization, in batches from various tribes to return to the tribe to rest, each group of people returning home will be accompanied by a large number of Wuhe Han army, this Han army will first get rid of the noble servant army in the team on the way, and then return to their tribe with people composed of low-level herdsmen, in cleaning up the noble family members left in the tribe.

It is also self-inflicted, when the servant army was recruited, these grass nobles deliberately sent the lowest-ranking herdsmen and herdsmen in the tribe to the Wuhe Army, trying to hide their own young and strong, and as a result, the largest number of servant troops was those who were usually oppressed the most heavily oppressed, coupled with the mixed way of the servant army completely dispersed their origins, so that these low-level herdsmen were out of the control of their own tribal nobles, these people were full of hostility to the nobles who oppressed on their heads in the past after the propaganda and agitation of the Han army soldiers, There is no hesitation in retaliation.

"As of today, the 14,000 servant army composed of steppe people has basically been cleared, and the strength has dropped to about 10,000, but because it is not in the yang and the yin, the command efficiency has been improved." In charge of the 'reorganization' of the servant army was Lu Dingbang, and after making sure that he had regained his strength, he was re-entrusted with the important task of serving as the acting chief of staff of the Five Rivers Army to help Pan Xiaogu handle various military affairs.

After accepting the post of chief of staff, Lu Dingbang showed good ability, and all military and political work was now summarized in the hands of Lu Dingbang, and he first sorted it out, and Pan Xiaogu only had to listen to the progress of various tasks every day, and no longer had to summarize and summarize it himself, which saved a lot of time and energy.

"How's the placement of the servants and their families going?" After inquiring about the progress of the reorganization of the servant army, Pan Xiaogu asked about another matter related to the servant army.

In order to ensure the loyalty of these servants, Pan Xiaogu not only gave the livestock that originally belonged to the tribal nobles to these servants, but also planned to move all their families to the Wuhe Basin.

However, the work did not go smoothly, and Lu Dingbang's face showed a look of embarrassment

"The subordinates are incompetent, please condemn the sin. The subordinates of this evacuation plan were well prepared together with other staff officers, and the first phase of the transfer work was also carried out very smoothly, and the families of the junior officers of the servant army had also been placed in the city of Gilholz, and the first batch of evacuations could be made after the Panyang River thawed, but after the Hu people knew the specific route of the relocation, they were resistant to the relocation work. ”

"Huh? What's going on? Pan Xiaogu was a little strange, the destination of the relocation was not kept secret from the servant army, and they did not have any resistance to it at first, and even heard that many of the servant army were very happy that their families would live on the land of the Tang people. Telling the Hu people about the migration route in advance is also Pan Xiaogu's meaning, on the one hand, for the sake of the Hu people's hearts, and on the other hand, it is also to let them prepare in advance, so as not to panic before leaving, but why did the Hu people change their attitude after knowing the route?

"Those Hu people became very frightened after hearing that they were going to cross the Jieshan Valley, and the captured Persian sailors, as soon as they heard that they were going to sail into the Jieshan Valley, they shook their heads in fright, and even caused the sailors to mutiniate en masse, and even the servant army, which was already stable, also became unstable because of this incident." Lu Dingbang lowered his head, seeing that the next stage of the operation was about to begin, but because of his work mistakes, the morale of the troops participating in the battle was shaken, and he felt very ashamed.

"It's none of your business, informing the Hu people of the migration route in advance is my order. But what's going on? When braving the wind and snow to relocate the families of those officers before, were those Hu people very cooperative? Why has it suddenly changed now, and have you figured out why? ”

Is there someone inciting it? Pan Xiaogu frowned and thought wildly.

After the accident, Lu Dingbang immediately conducted an investigation, and the results of the investigation were very surprising

"Originally, these people were very cooperative, but when they heard that they were going to pass through the Boundary Mountain Valley, they immediately became very frightened and refused to move..."

"Boundary Mountain Valley? What's going on there? "Why did you get to the Jieshan Valley, Pan Xiaogu was a little confused

Lu Dingbang himself was very helpless and told the results of his investigation

"It seems that there is a legend among the locals that there is a group of demons in the valley who specialize in eating people, and anyone who walks into the valley will be captured and eaten by the demons, and even the soul will be imprisoned and tortured by the demons, and no one has ever crossed the valley alive. Therefore, the local people never dared to enter the Jieshan Valley, and even named the valley the Demon Valley. ”

Demon Valley? No one can come out? When Pan Xiaogu heard this reason, his face became extremely strange

He pointed to himself and asked, "And what are we?" ”

It was through the valley that the Han army of the Five Rivers entered Persian territory, and even established several new territories in the valley.

Lu Dingbang shrugged helplessly, this action was something he learned from Pan Xiaogu

"Those Hu people seem to regard us as the subordinates of the demons, especially those servant troops, they all know that we are from the big valley, so they are very afraid of us, they have become so obedient now, and they are also afraid that we will send them to the valley to sacrifice to the demons."

This reason made Pan Xiaogu cry and laugh, but he really didn't dare to force these Hu servants too much, otherwise they would simply fight with their demon subordinates.

Feudal superstition kills people!

Pan Xiaogu had no choice but to find a map to see if he could find other routes.

There are only two direct roads leading to the Five Rivers Basin, one is the Great Valley of the Boundary Mountain, and the other is the mountain pass near the camp of Gilikreh to the south, but the second road is too far to be abandoned.

In addition to these two direct routes, you can only follow the trade route between Persia and Anxi, first enter the territory of Anxi from other places, and then take a longer road and then enter the Five Rivers Valley, this route is farther, and the safety is not guaranteed, so you can only give up.

It's really troublesome, Pan Xiaogu scratched his head in annoyance, and finally decided to temporarily place these hostages outside the valley, and then send them to the Wuhe region after finding a way to break the superstitious thoughts of these Hu people.

However, are demons really just superstitious legends?
