Chapter 67: Ambush

Before leaving, looking at the more than 200 Qiang people trembling in front of him, Sima Shu said to them kindly: "Don't be afraid, as long as you work hard for Lone, Lone will never treat you badly." In the future, your descendants will enjoy the same rights as all Han Chinese people to go to school and become officials. But if you still have different hearts......"

Speaking of this, Sima Shu stopped talking, but looked at those Qiang people with complicated emotions with very "sincere" eyes. This prince of the Jin Dynasty is really ruthless, he has "slaughtered" nearly 10,000 Malan Qiang people before and after, and it is estimated that he doesn't care about more than 1,000 Qiang people.

Sima Shu first asked these advanced elements to learn from the veterans and accept the adaptation, and then began to combine, rectify and "suppress" some of the clowns' chaos, Sima Shu escorted the first batch of more than 100 Qiang leaders who "returned to Shun" and their families out of Shangjun and went straight to Beidi County.

At this time, Beidi County has become another base of Sima Shu, after just completing the Juntian, the people of Beidi County are completely in a state of madness, and the common people almost worship Sima Shu as a god when they get their own land. It was in this way that Sima Shu began to transport the resources stored in the new city to Northland County, and he planned to turn the northland into another new city.

In addition to Beidi County, the most worrying thing for Sima Shu was Shangjun, because after some investigation, Sima Shu found that in addition to the Hu people, there were less than 20,000 Han people in the entire Shangjun, which was also the Han slaves rescued by Sima Shu from the Hu people.

In order to strengthen the sense of belonging of the Qiang people, Sima Shu had to strengthen the de-Hu people, on the one hand, he liberated the Qiang people living at the bottom, and on the other hand, strengthened their Sinicization education through culture, and tried to make them Han people as soon as possible. To this end, Sima Shu transferred a large number of students from Xincheng to graduate from Xinxue.

The Hu people in Shangjun were all scattered and mixed with the Juntian system, and the original tribal system had already begun to disintegrate after the various tribes were mixed and mixed, and Sima Shu believed that after another year of Juntian labor, it would cease to exist. The new commander of the county began to set up counties and counties for normal management on the basis of the original target and 100 households.

Jiang Tong recruited people from the hundreds of thousands of Xianbei, Qiang, and Xiongnu tribes to start repairing the city, and at the same time, Qiuci County and Haoyan County also began to build cities. In the future, Kami-gun will be the starting point and base of the northward advance. Therefore, the requirements for the city are relatively strict, at least to withstand the attack of ordinary enemy troops.

Moreover, in order to enrich the population of Shangjun, Sima Shu asked Zu Ti and others, who were far away in Yongzhou, to recruit Guanzhong refugees to stabilize Shangjun. At this time, Guanzhong was full of displaced people, and King Liang only knew how to exploit and did not know relief, so the displaced people in Guanzhong had to look around for a place where they could settle down.

At this time, the prince was suddenly willing to accept the displaced people, and suddenly became the hope of the people in Guanzhong to live, and a large number of Guanzhong refugees migrated from Guanzhong to Shangjun through Beidi County under the care of Sima Shu, which greatly changed the proportion of local Han people, and in just one month, Sima Shu migrated about 80,000 Han people, plus the local Han people, and there were nearly 100,000 Han people in Shangjun at once, which made Sima Shu feel a little relieved.

In the first month of the seventh year of Yuankang, after Sima Shu began to pass through Shangjun, the Jin army finally stopped its northward march, because it was at the foot of Yin Mountain, which was the core area of the grassland Hu tribe, and he did not have the strength to challenge the other party for the time being.

Sima Shu sat in Fushi and commanded his subordinates to mobilize a large amount of grain, cattle and sheep from Xincheng and distribute them to Jiangtong, who was building Shangjun, to support the other party's Jinglu Shangjun.

In addition to the recovery of Shangjun, Beidi County was also supported by Sima Shu's continuous trophies, and the construction of the three cities of Fuping, Niyang, and Lingwu were all renovated, coupled with the implementation of the Juntian system, Sima Shu quickly won the hearts of the local people, the most significant manifestation of which was the enthusiasm of the local people to serve as soldiers.

Later, in order to improve the level of the recruits, Zu Ti, Jiang Tong and others even recruited some officers who were about to graduate from the Xincheng Military Academy to join the recruit camp in Beidi County. With this part of the troops stationed in the north, he could completely liberate the cavalry led by Sima Shu, and now he has set his goal on Feng Yijun.

Although he also wanted to attack further north, the reality told Sima Shu that sometimes he was too quick to reach it, and his current strength was still too weak, and he was not the opponent of the northern steppe peoples at all, whether it was the Xianbei people or the Huns, it was not something he could fight against.

In this case, Sima Shu aimed at Feng Yijun, and now it was the Huns who were causing trouble in Feng Yi County, and their strength was much stronger than Ma Lanqiang, so Sima Shu left 3,000 cavalry to garrison Fu Shi, and led nearly 10,000 cavalry to roar south towards Feng Yi.

Since breaking away from the Jin army to counter-rebel army, Liu Yuan with 5,000 Hun cavalry quietly lurked in Feng Yi County, when Sima Shu was busy exterminating the rebels, he was not idle, since Hao Duyuan left, there are still many Hun horse thieves wandering in Feng Yi County. Liu Yuan eliminated the horse thieves to expand his strength, and waited patiently for Sima Shu to come to the door.

"Father, I heard that Sima Shu's kid is recovering the entire Shangjun, and he has exterminated Lu Shuihu, who was distributed in the Hulu River valley and participated in the rebellion, and now it is said that this kid is clearing Ma Lanqiang. I didn't expect this kid to be able to toss! As soon as Liu Cong came in, he complained to Liu Yuan.

"Oh? Is it? I didn't expect that Sima Zhen's fool would give birth to such a smart son, so we can't let him ascend the throne smoothly. It can be seen from this kid's recent series of movements that Sima Shu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, you see that the system he implemented in Beidi and Shangjun has completely won the hearts of the people at the bottom, otherwise he would never have mastered the two counties so quickly. ”

Liu Yuan showed appreciation as he spoke, he admired the prince's courage very much from the bottom of his heart, and he could stand opposite the family without hesitation, just to change the fate of the empire that had entered the end of his life.

"Father, since this system is so good, why don't we implement it within the Xiongnu?"

"Hehe, Cong'er, you must know that our merger is different from the two counties in the north, except for the Hu people, there is no family power at all, but what about the merger? The Jinyang Wang clan alone basically occupies one-third of the land in the state, if we dare to implement the uniform land system, hehe, the Wang family will definitely drive us out of the state. ”

"They dare! If that's the case, we'll just do the opposite! ”

"Cong'er, you are too impulsive, with the strength of our Huns, we are not the opponent of the Jin Dynasty, this time you have also seen the elite troops of the Jin Dynasty - the Su Guards, you should know that this army still has a certain combat effectiveness, especially the crossbow general Meng Guan, this person is especially good at commanding troops, before the Su Guards are not defeated, we Huns should not come out too early."

"Is this also the reason why my father has always obeyed the orders of the Wang family?"

"Yes, the Jinyang Wang clan not only has a huge influence in Bingzhou, but also in the central court of the Jin Dynasty, and their influence should not be underestimated. As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are good officials, if it weren't for the support of Wang Hun over the years, do you think the father would have risen so quickly? ”

"At present, we can't do without the help of the Jin Dynasty family, and when we are full-fledged in the future, we will be able to use the butcher's knife to force those families to work for us."

"But father, if we help kill the prince this time, what if those families turn their faces and don't recognize people?"

"What? Are you worried that they are using us as scapegoats? ”

"Yes, the killing of the prince is by no means a simple matter, even if it is to make a show to the outside world, the family has to make a big fanfare. Even if we frame it to the rebellious Huns, but in case ......"

"Hehe, don't worry, Cong'er, I have a plan!"

Liushulin Town is the middle of Fengyi Luochuan and Huangling, although the name is not much, it used to be the most prosperous place in this area, two major roads run through the east and west, north and south, and Luoshui is adjacent to each other, becoming the most important cargo distribution center in the vicinity of 100 miles.

However, with the advent of the war, especially the main place where the Hu people were raging, those who did business did not dare to come here, and this willow forest town slowly declined. Once there were no people, the places that relied on business travel became sparsely populated almost overnight.

Li Te, stationed at the entrance of Ma Village, faintly felt an ominous premonition. Looking around, there seemed to be nothing abnormal, the grass on the side of the mountain was still green, and the trees were swaying. The water's edge is rippling and flowing. Quiet towns and villages are in ruins. A blind old man squatted in the shade under the cave in the city gate and took a nap.

"Drive!" Sima Shu was about to drive the horse into the village, but Li Teh hurriedly stopped: "Your Highness, slow down, I don't feel right, it's better to send a team of people into the village to check!" ”

Sima Shu smiled: "What? Does anyone really dare to do anything to Lone? ”

Li Teh looked left and right: "Your Highness, it's always right to be careful, we only have two thousand guards around us, if we encounter a large-scale cavalry raid, the consequences will be unimaginable~!" And your Highness, you see, there is not even a bird in a forest in Nuoda, which is absolutely abnormal! ”

Sima Shu was shocked when he heard this, and Li Teh was right, there are definitely many people who want his life now. This time, in order to clear Feng Yi County, he mobilized a total of 10,000 new cavalry troops, and at the same time, in order to train his subordinates, he sent Li Liu, Sima Xin and others to lead the main force to enter Feng Yi from the north and west directions respectively. And he himself only led two thousand elites along Luoshui.

If someone wants to start, this is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, just when Sima Shu and others hesitated,

......Suddenly, a large group of birds flew out of the woods next to the road, and a strong murderous aura suddenly spread in the woods, pressing towards this side. The formation was strong, which made Li Tee a little worried.

A group of no less than 5,000 Hun cavalry suddenly appeared in front, and quickly formed a formation and rushed towards everyone, Sima Shu sighed in his heart, someone really dared to attack him!
