Chapter 117: Slaughtering the Subordinates into the Water

The deep-seated reason for this qiΔ“ is not detailed in the intelligence. But Li Zheng can guess the reason even with his knees.

This time Fu Xie was attacked, when he was visiting the famous man Tian Feng outside the giant deer, so he didn't bring many guards, so he was easily attacked.

Hundreds of attackers, all pretending to be bandits, roared past, and even affected Tian Feng.

Afterwards, Li Zheng sent a cadre to protect Fu Xie, and after some investigation, it was determined that it was Yuan Shao's so-called, so he immediately sent the letter to Liangzhou.

Although the news did not explicitly say whether Fu Xie was alive or dead, Li Zheng's heart was almost cold. The chances of survival were too small, Fu Xie only brought a dozen followers at that time, and in the face of the attack of hundreds of people, there was almost no survival.

Li Zheng's face was gloomy, and the drama on the side didn't know what to say.

He didn't know the relationship between Li Zheng and Fu Xie, but looking at Li Zheng's expression, he knew that it was not general. And right now, the target of Liangzhou is in the Xiongnu, Xi Zhicai doesn't want the lord's energy to be involved in this matter, so he pondered for a moment and said: "Don't worry about the lord for the time being." Jizhou is far away from Liangzhou, and the details are difficult to know. Maybe Fu Nanrong has the blessing of God, and he may be able to escape the catastrophe. ”

Li Zheng bowed slightly, his face gradually returned to calm, and said: "There is indeed no statement in the information, but" Speaking of this, a cold light burst out in Li Zheng's eyes: "Yuan Shao"

"Lord, Yuan Shao is far away in the Central Plains, and the whip is beyond his reach. Please press it for the time being, and when the problem of the Huns is solved, it is not too late to make plans. Xi Zhicai persuaded.

Li Zheng nodded. He is not an irrational person, he just got the bad news, and he wanted to send someone to Jizhou to assassinate Yuan Shao, but after calming down, he felt ridiculous when he thought about it.

What kind of person Yuan Shao is, it is impossible to be assassinated.

And he is in Liangzhou, Yuan Shao is early in Jizhou, as Xi Zhicai said, it is really beyond the reach of the whip.

But this hatred must be kept in mind. Sooner or later, Yuan Shao will come back!

After pondering for a moment, Li Zheng said: "Brother Fu's family, I will summon Dong Zhuo on the way to Liangzhou and ask him to help pay attention." ”

After Fu Xie was attacked, the soldiers sent by Li Zheng to protect him had no object to guard, so they had to escort Fu Xie's family to Liangzhou.

But there were a lot of ups and downs along the way, and Li Zheng was not very relieved, so he was ready to ask Dong Zhuo to help.

Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Li Zheng calmed his mind, made a little preparation, and went to Baishuichuan with Xi Zhicai.

The two of them rode the Qingjia war horse, with three hundred devastating front war horses, and followed the wide avenue and went straight to the Baishui River.

In Baishui City, Zhou Fei knew that Li Zheng was coming, so he took a few important people under his command to greet him outside the city early in the morning. When Li Zheng arrived, he greeted the courtesy, didn't say a word, went directly into the city, and arrived at the government office.

In the hall of the house, everyone sat down, and Zhou Fei first reported to Li Zheng the results of Baishuichuan during this period of time.

As the grass took root and sprouted in this grassland, it developed and expanded, so that the animal husbandry under Li Zheng also expanded.

As of May, the number of horses owned by the entire Shirasui River has reached 200,000. The total number of cattle and sheep exceeded 1 million, especially the echinoderm pigs, and the number increased rapidly, removing 10,000 as bait, and there were 80,000 heads. As for the red jade bird, it is simply difficult to count.

Every day, the ten areas divided by the entire Baishui River, in each area, the eggs laid by the red jade bird have reached more than 300,000. In other words, the entire Baishui River has at least three million red jade birds!

Looking at Zhou Feimei's report, Li Zheng's mood was a little more relaxed.

These livestock are all wealth and heritage!

Naturally, as the scale of livestock increases, there is output. Echinoderm pigs are not mass-slaughtered for the time being, and they are still allowed to reproduce. Cattle, sheep, red jade birds, especially red jade bird eggs, have been able to produce large quantities and provide food.

Every month, 100,000 red jade birds are slaughtered, and 10,000 cattle and sheep are slaughtered every quarter. There is also an inexhaustible supply of red jade bird eggs.

Some of these meats and eggs were handed over to caravans for disposal and transported to other places for sale. The other part is supplied to the military. The last part is decentralized to the private sector.

It can be said that the development and growth of Baishuichuan has made the entire Liangzhou stronger.

Satisfied, Li Zheng praised Zhou Fei again and again, and asked Zhou Fei to continue to expand the scale of animal husbandry. Although there is a limit to the grassland of Baishuichuan, Li Zheng believes that it will not be long before a large area of grassland will fall into his hands. When the time comes, the livestock will be directly diverted, and naturally there will not be too much pressure on the Baishuichuan.

After staying in Whitewater City for a day, Li Zheng went to the dock to take a look.

The pier still looks very empty and even somewhat desolate. Very few of the ships are berthed, and most of them are civilian.

Only outside the barracks next to it, there were more than a dozen large boats.

Although Li Zheng had already set up a shipyard, it was not easy in the north. Small boats are easy to build, but the technology required for large military ships cannot meet the requirements for the time being. The craftsmen of the institute are still working on this.

Therefore, the construction of the water army has also entered a stage of stagnation.

Now, there are only 1,000 people stationed in this naval army camp, and for the time being, there are water army seeds.

And most of Li Zheng's energy is on land, so he didn't pay too much attention to the water army, first try the water, lay a foundation, and then take his time.

After walking around the barracks, he met with a dry water army, got acquainted with it, and left the barracks under the attention of Qin Yu, the commander of the water army.

Then, Li Zheng went to Beiying Pass without stopping, met with Wang Laohu and Nuro, and then went to Dongying Pass.

The white wolf led the wolf to ride and welcomed Li Zheng into the pass.

In the hall, Li Zheng sat on the main seat, and Xi Zhicai, White Wolf and others knelt on both sides of the hall.

The white wolf first reported the harvest during this period of time.

Since Li Zheng began trading with many small tribes, in more than two months, he has obtained more than 150,000 cattle, sheep and horses, and more than 50,000 slaves. The amount of armor paid reached 10,000 sets and upwards, and the grain was close to 30,000 stones.

Li Zheng listened and frowned slightly.

"The harvest is not big. The number of small tribes trading with us has reached hundreds, and the total number of soldiers and horses has even reached 30,000. And any small and medium-sized tribe has more than 100,000 cattle and sheep, it seems that the people of these small tribes are not bold enough! ”

The white wolf nodded and said, "It's exactly as the lord expected." These small tribes are used to being stingy, and they can't let go of their hands and feet when they do things, and although they make a bit of a fuss, they still haven't fully achieved the expected results. ”

As he spoke, the white wolf said again: "My lord, these small tribes have already shown signs of compromise, and the tribes that have traded with us have gradually decreased in the past few days. ”

When Li Zheng heard this, he glanced at Xi Zhicai, slowly bowed his head, and said, "This is also expected." These small tribes have been oppressed by a big clan like the Han clan all year round, and they have a kind of fear from the inside. Although with our support, they have some confidence temporarily, but over time, it is inevitable that they will suffer from gains and losses. ”

Everyone in the hall bowed their heads.

Li Zheng thought for a while and said to Xi Zhicai: "Does the military advisor have a plan to solve this matter?" ”

Xi Zhicai pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "But like this"

Tu Gehu, an important force of the Southern Xiongnu. Its territory, adjacent to the Lan family, is located in the vast grassland of hundreds of miles on both sides of the big river in the north of Baishuichuan and Lian County.

At the beginning of the attack on Qiangqu, the Subu clan borrowed the strength of the slaughter tribes.

Although the Tu tribes were subordinate to the Southern Xiongnu, most of the time, they were outside the Xiongnu regime, and they felt a bit of an outsider. For example, after the previous attack on Qiangqu, Tu Gehu only demanded a hundred miles of grassland from the Xu Bu clan, and had no other demands, and did not covet the high-level rights of the Xiongnu at all.

Because of this, the major clans within the Xiongnu maintained a relatively friendly attitude towards Tu Gehu.

However, what happened the day before yesterday made Tu Gehu's senior executives angry and a little confused. Their tribes in the area bordering the Lan clan have been purged!

It was a completely scrubbing-like cleansing, taking away anything of value, leaving only human heads and blood.

Tu Gehu's higher-ups did not understand why their tribe was attacked. Earlier, I thought it was the Han forces in the south, but later there were survivors who said that it was the Huns!

This made Tu Gehu's high-level angry, and immediately sent someone to the Lan clan to question, and finally got the answer. The answer given by Lan is Han.

It's just that the Han clan is now looting everywhere, and the Lan clan has also suffered a disaster, and while complaining, he also expressed his sympathy for the Tu tribes, and Pi felt a little sympathetic.

He also told that if the Tu tribes wanted to retaliate, then go to the Han family.

When Tu received this answer, he did not move at first. Because they are very aware of the contradictions between the major clans within the Xiongnu, especially now that the position is vacant, the major clans are staring at that position.

If you listen to Lan's words, you will deal with Han, but I am afraid that you will be used as a gunman.

So Tu Gehu sent someone to the Han clan again, questioned it, and got the answer similar to the Lan clan. Han's sue sΓΉ Tu Gehu is what Lan is called.

Upon hearing the news, the high-level leaders of the Tu Ministry looked like this.

However, before they could come to their senses, the tribes on the border were purged for the second time! This purge was on a much larger scale, and even two medium-sized tribes, both were wiped out.

This time, the slaughter departments could no longer hold back.
