Chapter 8 The land of the Qiang people, the rule of the Qiang people
On the bank of the white water, Lu Bu stood by the river, quietly watching the water potential of the white water, thinking about how he would attack if he really wanted to meet the Dao soldiers in the future. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The Baishui River is not wide, about four or five zhang distance, but the water is turbulent, it is almost impossible to take a pontoon bridge to cross, although it is not as good as the Yangtze River moat, but it is better than the danger enough, in terms of the scientific and technological strength of this era, it is absolutely not feasible to attack, there is only one stone bridge, although it is spacious, but on both sides of the stone bridge, there is a forest of fighting, there is a gate again, Baishui Qiang will build this gate as a city gate, although there is no city wall, but there is only one point of attack, it is more solid than the city gate.
It is possible to fly over to make a hot air balloon or a kite or something, but this is time-consuming and laborious, not to mention, the danger is still extremely high, and it can be photographed for the time being, and the rest, Lu Bu thought for a long time, and still felt that perhaps provoking internal contradictions was the best way, a strong castle was always the easiest to break from the inside, in Lu Bu's view, the twelve departments of Baishuiqiang represented twelve different forces, leading by the situation, provoking contradictions, it was best to secretly subdue one or two of them, so that it would be easier to subdue the entire Baishuiqiang.
The gate on the other side of the stone bridge suddenly opened, and a cavalry galloped towards it.
"What people!? Stop now! Zhou Cang immediately shouted, and behind him, the guards of less than 100 people quickly lined up, stretched out their bows and arrows, and waited for the battle.
Qiang cavalry stopped an arrow away, and a horse rushed out of the crowd, wearing a white wolf howling moon helmet, wearing a Shura mask, wearing a hundred flowers robe, and a slender rider jumped out of the horse, his eyes swept over Zhou Cang's body, but he did not stay, and finally landed on Lu Bu who turned over on the horse, behind the mask, a pair of crystal eyes, flashed a brilliant color, and said crisply: "Are you Wenhou Lu Bu?" ”
It turned out to be a woman?
Zhou Cang smacked his lips, shook his head and glanced at the knight behind the other party, these people can't all be girls, right?
Lu Bu patted the red rabbit's mane, the red rabbit horse opened its four hooves, and came to the front of the formation, the female general opposite her eyes lit up, and couldn't help but praise: "What a psychic treasure horse." ”
"The girl came to me, but she was entrusted by Wenhe." Lu Bu sat on the horse, straightened up, and looked at the woman who included her whole body in the armor with a little surprise, the woman is a general, in this era, Lu Bu only knows Mrs. Zhurong of Nanban.
"Yes, on the order of the patriarch, I have come to invite Wenhou into the mountain." The female general nodded, and made an inviting gesture on her horse.
"Lead the way." Lu Bu waved his hand and asked Zhou Cang and the others to withdraw their guard, if the other party really wanted to turn his face, he would not send such a little person to come.
"Wen Hou, forgive me, you can only bring two people with you, and the others must wait outside the gate." The female general said crisply.
"Bold!" Zhou Cang's complexion changed, his face was full of hideousness, and he stared at the female general fiercely.
"It doesn't matter." Lu Bu stopped Zhou Cang, thought for a while, and said, "You take people to withdraw from the ten-mile station, He Yi and He Man, you two go with me." ”
"Whoa!" Zhou Cang glared at the female general with some unwillingness, but military orders are like mountains is the point that Lu Bu has always instilled in his subordinates, and since Lu Bu has already spoken, Zhou Cang does not dare to say it again.
"Can I go?" Zhou Cang left with the men and horses, and Lu Bu looked at the female general.
"Wen Hou forgives sins." The female general nodded and asked everyone to follow, and first led the men and horses across the bridge, and the closed gate slowly opened, and the group rode through the vast farmland, towards the reckless mountains.
In order to prevent possible enemies from crossing the Baishui River, the foundation of the twelve Baishuiqiang was built in this reckless mountain, and there was no Qiang people who were familiar with the mountain roads to lead the way, even if the gate was broken, it was easy to get lost in this chaotic mountain road, Lu Bu only then understood why the Baishui Qiang people put this black mountain and Baishui side by side, if Baishui is the first barrier of Baishuiqiang, then this vast black mountain is the second natural barrier of Baishuiqiang.
After detouring for more than an hour, before arriving at the destination, a cottage or village is located in the surrounding mountains, the unique style of wood seems to surround, countless Qiang people are not afraid of life, there is no strict hierarchy in the Central Plains, most of them looked at Lu Bu and his party curiously, many people greeted the female general, although wearing a mask, I can't see what the female general's expression is at the moment, but Lu Bu can clearly feel that the female general in front of him has a high prestige among these Qiang people.
"Wen Hou, please come in, the patriarch and Mr. Wenhe are discussing in the hall." The female general took Lu Bu and the three of them to the front of the hall and stretched out her hand to lead the way.
"He Yi He Man, you two are waiting outside the hall."
"Whoa!"
Lu Bu strode into the hall, but saw Jia Xu and a middle-aged man talking happily, seeing Lu Bu come in, Jia Xu quickly stood up, smiled and introduced to the middle-aged man: "Brother Yang, I will introduce you, this is my father-in-law, the general of the Han Dynasty, Wenhou Lu Bu." ”
"I've seen the general." Yang Wang stood up and made a Han salute to Lu Bu.
"Lord, this is one of the twelve heroes of Baishuiqiang, and the Han name is Yang Wang." Jia Xu introduced to Lu Bu and nodded to Lu Bu imperceptibly.
"Patriarch Yang doesn't have to be polite." Lu Bu stepped forward, stretched out his hand to help Yang Wang, and said with a smile: "I have long heard Wenhe mention that the Yang patriarch is a rare hero among the Qiang people, and Bai Shuiqiang can have today's momentum, all by the power of the patriarch alone." ”
"Don't dare, Brother Wen and Brother praised it." Yang Wang shook his head, and after a few polite words with Lu Bu, he put the topic on the right track: "Wen Hou came to intend to, Brother Wen He has already said before, Yang Wang also has a heart for the Han, before, the Han Dynasty court has also sent people to surrender several times, but unfortunately, the officials are greedy, and they only know how to ask for it, which makes my Qiang people miserable, and almost makes Yang Wang a Qiang sinner. ”
Although Yang Wang admires Sinology, he is only a Qiang person, and he has not been able to learn many things, and if he were a Han official, I am afraid that he would not ask so directly.
Lu Bu sat down, heard the words and said with a smile: "Patriarch Yang is quick to talk, and General Ben will not go around in circles with the patriarch." ”
"I want to build a black mountain city here, I have seen it before entering the mountain just now, the white water surrounds, forming a natural barrier, there are thousands of hectares of fertile land inside, but because the white water Qiang lives on the Black Mountain, the development of fertile land, less than one-tenth of the two, if you can build a city according to today's Yuanmen, move some of the Qiang people of Montenegro in, and establish a city, you can effectively use these fertile fields, one can make the people here from the threat of jackals in the mountains, and the other can also live a good life for the Qiang people."
Yang Wang nodded slightly when he heard this, but he didn't say anything, what Lu Bu said sounded very good, but he had already seen the cunning of the Han people, and he didn't dare to believe it easily, he looked at Lu Bu and said: "But I don't know who will manage this Black Mountain City?" ”
In the past, there were also Qiang people who were naturalized, but as a result, most of the bones that were eaten were left.
"I have discussed with Wen He, if it is managed by the Han people, there will be many contradictions, and the interests of the Qiang people cannot be guaranteed, which has nothing to do with the system, in the early years, the imperial court did really want to accept the Qiang people, but the government decree reached the place, and the officials misinterpreted it, and often changed the taste, so if the patriarch agreed to build the city, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant of Montenegro County will be selected from the Qiang people in Baishui, the Qiang people's land, the Qiang people's rule, in addition, this place connects Xiliang and Chang'an, although it is not the main road, but it is also a hub place, I intend to establish a bazaar in Zheng County, which is twenty miles away from Yuanmen on the bank of Baishui, as a place of trade between the Qiang and Han people in various places, and communicate with each other, Montenegro can send three people to join the management market, and I will send someone to teach the management of the market, so as not to be deceived by the Qiang people who are simple and deceived by black-hearted traders, but ......"
Lu Bu looked at Yang Wang, who was gradually getting a little excited, and said with a smile: "In the case of price equality, under the rule of my Zhengxi General's Mansion, I have the right of first refusal to purchase the goods of Montenegro City, and the General's Mansion will also send craftsmen into Montenegrin City to help and guide the people of Montenegro to carry out some improvement in equipment, farming tools and farming. ”
Yang Wang suppressed the excitement in his heart, looked at Lu Budao, and said, "But I don't know, what kind of price will I have to pay for Bai Shuiqiang?" ”
There is no free lunch in the world, as the head of a family, Yang Wang will naturally not be lost by the beautiful blueprint drawn by these other parties, he firmly believes in the Han people, take it in advance, give it first!
"Of course." Lu Bu nodded and said: "Bai Shuiqiang can enjoy the same status as the Han people, and naturally he must also perform the same obligations, Bai Shuiqiang's army must obey the dispatch of the Zhengxi General's Mansion, of course, the military salary and various treatments will also be the same as the Han people." ”
"I am not the only one who can make the decision on this matter, and I need to obtain the consent of several other ministries." Yang Wang hesitated, looked at Lu Bu and said, "Please also ask the general to stay here for a few days." ”
"Nature."
