Chapter 217: The Chaser
The shame of offering prisoners to the Taimiao was unforgettable for Jin Zhu's life, and in order to satisfy the young emperor, he danced the Han family dance outside the Taimiao.
Although Jin Zhu's dancing is terrible, and the singing is not pleasing to the ear at all, Liu Che, the Son of Heaven, doesn't care at all, he just needs this feeling, the feeling of crushing an enemy.
Liu Che made a big ambition: "One day, I want the Xiongnu's Shan Yu to dance for me like Jin Zhu." ā
Cao Shi didn't want to complain about how strange his thoughts were, he didn't have active thoughts in Shangqing in a muffled voice, anyway, he didn't have to worry about the big and small government affairs in the court, and he didn't have anything else to do every day except for exercising, routinely inspecting Yulin riding, and accompanying his wife and children, so he hid happily and pretended that he didn't have zĆ i.
Liu Wan gave birth to a baby son for him, Cao Shi was happy every day, he didn't even care much about official business, and he was focused on a family of three and a beautiful life.
Prime Minister Xu Chang doesn't like to make trouble very much, his personality traits are slightly similar to Wei Juan, Bai Zhihou is much more slippery than the former prime minister who is as hard as a stone, Cao Shi pretended to be a wooden man when he was in the limelight, and now the limelight has become the emperor's monopoly, Xuchang is Mingzhe can be careful when he can protect himself, and try not to directly conflict with the emperor.
The imperial historian Zhang Ou is more thorough, ten years ago before he was demoted to the official was famous for his soft temperament, the abolished prince Liu Rong was demoted out of the official incident, after several tempering to wash away the impetuous air on the body, usually not inconspicuous and even rarely noticed that there is a three public station class.
Zhao Zhou is the confidant of the Son of Heaven, and he will not provoke the emperor's Long Wei, the two big and one small three top figures have no intention of moving, and the three princes and nine kings follow the words of the Son of Heaven when they look at their words and deeds.
The finishing touches of the temple should be re-processed. Thousands of 120,000 Yelang captives died because of the lack of adaptation to water and soil, and thousands more did not recover from their illnesses. There are only about 100,000 people who can use it.
Cao Shi's Jian yƬ was to take prisoners to the border counties such as Bashu, Jingman, Huiji, and Yuzhang to be the people of Luzuo Floating Waves, and their families were also sent to the four regions to take root. And in this way, military service is organized and obeyed by the general's temporary dispatch command.
The nobles of Yelang Country have no chance to run, and it will be a trouble to release even one of them to return to Yelang Country, and their families are also on their way to Chang'an, and from now on they will live in Guanzhong and don't like going home.
"Your Majesty asked the residents of Yelang Country what to do? There are two options, the first is to migrate the residents of Yelang to settle in the inner county for a long time, and the second is to migrate the Han people to settle in the country of Yelang for a long time. ā
Liu Che asked, "Is there a difference between the two?" ā
"There is a slight difference, the barbarian clan seems to be a good method, but in fact, the effect is very poor, and the Yelang country was beaten by the Han army. The thousands of miles of mountains and dense forests that have been vacated will be gradually divided by other barbarians, and within twenty Chinese New Year's Eve, several or a powerful barbarian kingdom will emerge in the original territory of the Lang country, and at that time, it will be a waste to be friendly to the Han family or to hate the Han family, defeat the Yelang people and move into the inner county, vacate the territory for the barbarians to continue to recuperate, and then fight the new Yelang people to continue to move inward, and the cycle will continue to empty the national capital, and the meaning of defeating the Yelang country will not exist. ā
The Son of Heaven was terrified when he heard this. The management and control of the attached barbarians has always been a trouble, and the imperial court could not believe the sincerity of the attached people and had to implement the internal system, resulting in most of the Xiongnu nobles who had taken refuge in the Han family to surrender and rebel, and only to implement the doomed Zhao'an plan year after year.
"It's pretty much the other way. The Han people who migrated out went to the savage jungle, if the transportation is convenient and the exchanges are frequent, they can still maintain the foundation of sinicization, once the communication is interrupted, the centrifugal force will gradually condense in more than ten years. Within two generations, it would become a wasteland of civilization that hung in the sea, where the Han people would accept barbarism in reverse. In the northern border counties, this is called Han Huhua. ā
Liu Che stared at the plateau and mountains on the sand table, surrounded by the mountains and the settlement of the Yelang barbarians. The humid and hot heat in the low-latitude mountainous area is unbearable, even if this place is of little significance in the eyes of the Han people, few people want to live there, the only commendable thing in the mountains is timber and mineral reserves, most of the ore veins are not skilled, and the ore veins within 100 meters of the surface can be mined, which occupies a very small part of the mineral deposits.
Plundering resources, plundering populations, plundering what can be plundered, wars without interests are stupid, and only rich war dividends can motivate more people to support wars.
The young emperor could not understand at first, but when he became the emperor for more than a year, he gradually understood the meaning, war is the simplest and crudest act of profit, fighting for land, fighting for distribution rights or fighting for all the resources that can be fought for, the ultimate goal is to make the Han family rich and strong, and the country and society will not fall for thousands of years and be immortal for thousands of years.
Strive for the support of more people, only with constant war, continuous profit to get the most firm support, Liu Che's idea is very simple and rude, he is not afraid of the plan is too simple and crude to be recognized, as long as there is a set of excellent execution system, he can pinch the power of the world through war, and the idea of belligerence is rooted in the mind of the young emperor.
Liu Che frowned and pondered.
"Your Majesty, don't be impatient, according to the latest statistics, among the dozens of large and small neighbors around us, it is the smallest and easiest to incorporate in the southwest, and since it is impossible to achieve the goal by simply moving inside and out, we have to open a new strategy to obtain new advantages, this method only requires the farmers of His Royal Highness to move to a few places, and give three years of exemption from the levy tax, and only pay half the poll tax within a year and insist on three years,."
"Where do people come from?"
"From Jing Man, Zhu Yue, involving the preparation plan for the crusade in South Vietnam, the minister can only give a rough outline, hoping that His Majesty can understand." Cao Shi drew a long diagonal path on the sand table.
There is not much to say about the migration plan itself, moving the people of Hebei to fill in the two Huai, moving the people of the two Huai to fill the Jingman, moving the people of Jingman to fill the Sanyue, moving the remnants of the Sanyue to fill the Southwest Yi, and the people of Qi to organize households to farm and cultivate.
Just when the monarchs and ministers in the Weiyang Palace asked the right question, on the southern edge of the prairie thousands of miles away, more than 1,000 horsemen galloped on the grassland, followed by more than 5,000 huge horses.
The horse team walked for three days and three nights, stopping and stopping, and maintained an even movement almost the whole time.
When you are thirsty, you drink mare's milk, when you are hungry you eat dry food, and when you are sleepy, you lie on your horse and sleep. The horses are moving slowly along the current, so you don't have to worry about losing your direction.
Almost every nomad had this ability, and the Huns could even make difficult maneuvers on their horses.
And so he did not dismount for three days. People are sleepy and tired to the limit.
"How far is it from the Otsutsuki Clan!"
"It's coming, it's coming."
Lu Heng was extremely thirsty, poured a few mouthfuls of mare's milk and said, "Every time you say it's fast." How many miles are left? ā
Pugma's eyebrows were twisted: "At most, forty miles will be in the territory of the Otsuki clan." ā
"Humph! I hope you don't get in the way of people who can't open their eyes. ā
Not only Lu Heng snorted, but the old members of the caravan were not very happy, Dawan Kingdom melted in March this year, Zhang Qian, Sima Tan and others were originally planning to buy a few sweaty horses, but they didn't look like Dawan people treated sweaty horses as treasures, not to mention like buying a few sweaty horses, even if you have money, you won't sell them, and I don't want you to see them.
The general resentment of the caravans was aroused by the general resentment of the caravanserais, and the subsequent conflicts between the shoppers further intensified the conflict. The originally hospitable Dawan people seemed to have changed people, and proposed an expulsion order to Zhang Qian, Sima Tan and his entourage, on the grounds of destroying the warm and friendly business atmosphere in Dawan.
At this time, the five big and three coarse Serbs will also be in a bad situation, Dawan was once a part of the Seleucid Kingdom, the pearl of the Orient of Panhellenic civilization, and the self-proclaimed Ionians are related to Greece, but the Dawan people are purely Serbs-based countries, and there are several Yamato flows in the territory of Dawan Kingdom. There are also countless small rivers scattered around the basin, and the farming and city-building habits marked by the city-state are completely different from those of the Scythians, whose relatives of the Dawan people also lived a nomadic life.
The farming and city-building habits of the Dawan people are a pan-Hellenistic civilization. They were destined to be good at trading trade goods and dealing with other countries, but they were not particularly good at warfare, and mainly relied on the defense of the city to resist the nomads who were not good at attacking the city.
The special environment creates a good environment for Dawan people to do business. Dawan people usually do not tear their faces with customers, and only make undesirable choices when they are under great pressure. Just as the Dawan expelled the Han envoys who pretended to be caravans, they feared the threat of the eastern powerhouse Wusun. More afraid of the powerful Huns behind Wusun.
Zhang Qian, Sima Tan, Gan's father discussed for a long time, had to agree to leave Dawan's final statement, when they just left the city on the front foot was attacked by the Wusun cavalry, all the way to fight and flee around the Dawan Basin around half a circle, but also took advantage of the chaos to snatch dozens of high-quality sweat and blood horses in a horse farm, tossing and turning Dawan for two months, and finally left a sentence "We will come back after all", almost did not make Dawan people faint.
"How far is it?" Father Gan woke up from his false sleep.
Pugma also immediately cheered up: "There are still about twenty miles, Zhao Shun is twenty miles in front of us, and it is estimated that he will meet the people of the Dayue clan soon." ā
He is the warrior of the Xiaoyue clan, and he has witnessed the Dayue clan who fled from the desert more than 20 years ago, almost the fastest way to escape from the land of Longxing, where the ancestors have lived for generations, and even the ancestors are busy running for their lives, and the confidence of the Yueshi people is completely destroyed, leaving only a simple map that was brought by people more than ten years ago.
The people of the Otsutsuki clan hope that the people of the Otsuki clan will give up their attachment and follow them to the warmer and wetter prairie to build a better new home here.
"Be careful, the chasing soldiers behind have changed."
"See who it is?"
"Hun cavalry, look at the pendant is the king's tent under the account of the right virtuous king."
Father Gan raised his horsewhip: "Brothers, speed up, we still have less than twenty miles to go, and we will soon see the cavalry of the Dayue clan, work harder!" ā
After a few whistles, more than 5,000 horses immediately divided into five groups of men and horses, thinking about the fifteen-degree deviation movement on the left and right sides of the front, the Hun pursuers were all stunned, and all the people ran away How to arrest people.
Batuson snorted angrily: "Don't stop, catch up as fast as possible, as long as you kill their main leader, the army will automatically disperse." ā
The two thousand horsemen galloping on the prairie, one in front and one behind, have a heavy advantage in the number of horses, but the disadvantage is that the reaction to running is relatively slow, and it takes a lot of effort to turn a corner.
The Wusun cavalry followed the Huns not far away, and they followed the Huns across thousands of rivers and mountains to gallop on foreign lands, but they did not come to do voluntary labor.
The price of agreeing to be a guide for the Huns was not small, and the original negotiation was changing as the caravan became stronger and more tricky, and now the Wusun people will obtain eighty percent of the caravan's war horses and the ownership of the caravan's goods.
Da Lu smiled and said: "You see that if I want to say a few words, he dares to fight with his own life, how clumsy is the wisdom of the Huns." ā
The Wusun people behind them laughed, they belonged to the Huns and there was nothing wrong, but the Wusun people had always looked down on the short Huns, they were tall and fit, deep eyes and beards, only a small number of mixed-race Huns had similar appearances, most of the Huns were short and thin with basket legs, and they couldn't make the proud Wusun people crawl on the ground willingly.
"Hey, it doesn't seem to be the right situation ahead!"
"The caravan came to a high slope and suddenly turned around to face us, and it seems that the horse thieves have decided to fight to the death."
The Huns in front slowed down and slowly formed a team, set up a longbow and aimed at three hundred paces away, and a strong wind blew from the hill, and all the arrows that were originally floating fell to the ground.
Batusen's face changed: "Oops, we have to do our best to retreat." ā
However, the cavalry is soaring, even if you want to stop, it is impossible to do it, the way to stop smashing the door is to slow down slowly, just in front of the opposite formation and be shot into a sieve bottom, it is better to take this opportunity to fight indiscriminately Maybe you can win a big victory.
At the foot of the caravan was a large and sloping slope, and it took a while to get from the slope to the top, and the cavalry of the caravan shot their heads and faces with their bows.
The roots of Batusen's teeth itched, and he gritted his teeth and ordered to fight back, but the arrows shot by the Huns were deflected by the wind on the hill, and a large group of people on the hill laughed.
"Extremely hateful Han people, I must cut off your head and feed it to the wolves!"
The long slope is not steep, mainly because of the strong wind on the slope, the Huns want to turn around and scatter the efficiency is lower, Batusen angrily scolded: "Wusun Prince Dalu come over to help us, and if you miss the opportunity later, you will have to delay for a few months." ā
Dalu also knows the importance of right and wrong, urging the West Pole Horse to step on the long slope and rush up, I have to say that the West Pole Horse is a very good horse breed, and its climbing ability is at least better than the short and stout Hun horse.
Rushing to the halfway through a gust of wind swept the sand and dust to cover the eyes, the Huns under the slope were covered by the wind and sand, and the caravan on the slope was still unhurriedly bending the bow and shooting arrows, each arrow would make the Huns suffer, and it would not take long for the Huns to die seventy or eighty lives.
Da Lu saw that the situation was a little wrong: "Rush up with me to kill their leader, Batusen is ready to fight to the death!" ā
Suddenly, the rain of arrows on the slope became more dense, the Huns and the Wusun people gritted their teeth and rushed up the slope, as expected, the caravan was scattered, when they raised their scimitars and prepared to reap the fruits of victory, they were stunned to see that the other end of the high slope was a flat high ground, and three thousand cavalry with the banner of the royal court of the Dayue clan were waiting quietly on the slope.
Ba Kuyin, the commander of the Dayue clan, held the knife and did not move, his eyes were as cold as a knife: "The Yueshi people listen to the order, kill all the Huns, and capture the Wusun people!" (To be continued!)
