Chapter 402: The Attraction of the Western Regions
Zhang Lang and Jia Xu were all surprised. Zhang Lang frowned and asked, "What's going on?" How could the Xianbei people capture the Meander Pass so quickly? β
The herald said with a sad and indignant face: "It's all because of the local Shi clan, they colluded with the Xianbei people and bypassed our defense line with a Xianbei lightly armed army!" Then this lightly armed force launched a fierce attack on us from the rear, and our army was caught off guard and hastily responded, and at this moment, the main force of Xianbei attacked head-on. Our army could not resist and was attacked by the Xianbei people. Although our troops resisted desperately, the general led us to fight until the early hours of the morning. At this time, the entire army was almost dead and wounded! The general was worried that the general would not know about the loss of the river meander, so he sent his subordinates to fight their way out of the siege to report to the general! β
Zhang Lang said angrily: "Scholars! Damn it! It's the Scholars again! Lao Tzu really underestimated them, I thought that no matter how dirty they were, they would not collude with foreign races, but I didn't expect that in order to restore their privileges, they would do anything shameless! β
Jia Xu said lightly: "People are like this! The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit! This is especially true of powerful people, who often do the dirtiest things with guilt for high-sounding reasons! Looking at the herald, he asked sarcastically: "Are those scholars still preaching that they are bringing in foreign enemies in order to bring in chaos and restore the righteousness of the Han Dynasty?" β
The herald nodded.
Zhang Lang sneered and said to Yang Kun: "Take him down to rest." β
Yang Kun stepped forward. The herald bowed to Zhang Lang and followed Yang Kun down.
Zhang Lang walked quickly to the map, looking at the map and frowning, "If the Hequ Pass is lost, the enemy army can go south along the Yellow River unimpeded. The flanks of both the western and eastern fronts of our army were exposed. Please don't be optimistic! After a pause, he turned to Jia Xu and said, "I have an idea." β

The gaze turned to the county seat of Guangwu.
Wang Yi came back after going for a while, and there was a middle-aged man who looked like a county man by his side, and it was a middle-aged man with a kind expression under his chin.
Wang Yi said to his father Wang Kai excitedly: "Father, this county lord heard about our affairs and came to take a look. β
Wang Kai and all the villagers stood up, and Wang Kai hugged his fists towards the county and said, "How dare I and the grass people work for adults?" β
The county man hugged his fists and returned the salute, "Fellow don't have to be polite. The general has a strict order, and all localities must do a good job of pacifying and secretly working for the refugees. "Thank you, thank you." Wang Kai said gratefully.
The county leader glanced at everyone and asked, "Are you hundreds of people all together?" Wang Kai hurriedly replied, "We are all from the same village." A young man next to him said: "Thanks to Uncle Wang and Miss Wang, otherwise we might have all died under the iron hooves of the Xianbei people!" The crowd agreed.
The county man glanced at Wang Kai and asked, "This fellow is extraordinary, I don't think he is an ordinary person, right?" Wang Kai smiled and said: "The adults have won the prize, and they are just grass people." When Wang Yi heard his father say this, he was not happy, and said to the county: "My father used to be an officer of the forbidden army, and he retired to the village only because he was dissatisfied with the eunuch's dictatorship. β
The county was moved, and hurriedly bowed: "It turned out to be a general from the forbidden army!" β
Wang Kai hurriedly bowed and humbled himself: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" β
The county said: "The general is a rare talent, and I should report it to the county commander." β
Wang Kai hurriedly said: "My lord is affectionate and friendly, and I have received it in my heart." But what I care about now is taking care of my fellow villagers. Please help me with that! β
Xian Cheng sighed, "Hey, since that's the case, then I won't force it!" Although the general can rest assured, it is within our duty to resettle the refugees, how dare he neglect it? After a pause, he frowned and said: "There have been too many refugees going south recently, and Guanzhong and Luoyang are already overcrowded. If you go to these two places again, I'm afraid that life will be more difficult. I have a JianyΓ¬, I wonder if the general is willing to listen to it? β
Wang Kai hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "My lord, just say it." β
The county said: "Does the general know about the Western Regions?" β
Wang Kai nodded, frowned and asked, "Don't you want us to move to the Western Regions?" β
The county town smiled: "Although the Western Regions are thousands of miles away, it is a rich and beautiful place. You should also know how rich the merchants who came back from the west! β
A young man said: "I heard Wang Xiaowu in the town say that the people who go to the west to do business have made a fortune!" I also heard that the west side is rich in products and very beautiful, and it is a place like a heavenly palace. I also heard that if you go to the west now, everyone will be allocated twenty acres of land, and there will be no tax for three years. β
The county said with a smile: "What this little brother said is true!" Now that three new cities are being built in the Western Regions, the people who move in at this moment can not only be allocated houses and land, but also pay no taxes for three years. Not only that, but people can also voluntarily participate in the construction of the city and get paid according to their work. As long as you work hard, it won't be long before you can have a very good home in the Western Regions! β
When everyone heard this, their hearts couldn't help but move. The other refugees around also gathered around, and they were all very excited.
An old man on crutches asked, "My lord, are you telling the truth?" β
Xian Cheng smiled and said: "Old man, this is all the general's policy, don't you still believe the general's words?" Did the general lie to everyone? β
Everyone recalled what the general had done all along, and they all believed the words of the county leader. The old man said excitedly: "Then we will also go to the Western Regions." The people around him chimed in. The atmosphere at the scene was warm, and the depression and depression just now were changed.
The county raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. Everyone fell silent. The county raised his voice and said, "If you are willing to go to the Western Regions, come with me." Sign up, and I'll give you a voucher. Nearly 1,000 people immediately followed the county.

Kebineng was woken up in the middle of the night by the excited call of Tuoba Guangyao, and quickly sat up. Tuoba Guangyao said excitedly: "Da Danyu, good news! Our army has broken through the Hequ Pass and is driving straight along the Yellow River, and the enemy's flank is completely exposed! β
Kirby was overjoyed, "Is the news true?" β
Tuoba Guangyao said: "The one who came to report the news is my cronies, and the news is absolutely reliable. β
Kebineng said in disbelief: "There are fifteen or six thousand soldiers of the Eagle Yang Legion in the Hequ Pass, how can they be broken by our army so quickly?" Tuoba Guangyao said: "Thanks to the local scholars. It was they who led our army to bypass the defense line of the Han army, and our army was able to break through the defense of the Han army in one fell swoop. Kebineng laughed, "Good! In the words of the Han Chinese, this is called the one who has attained the Tao has much help, and the one who has lost the Tao has little help. β
