1539 A Panicked World (2)

On this day, countless tribes around the entire Heli Mountain looked at the Han army that came from the horizon with great momentum. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The Han Dynasty is so powerful?" The leaders of the Qiang people in the countless deep mountains were frightened by this majestic army.

The Qiang people had never seen such a mighty and murderous army.

In the memories of the Qiang people, even the Zhelan cavalry that once frightened them and changed their color was dwarfed in front of this army.

In the face of this sudden killing army, all the Qiang tribes were worried.

In the past 100 years, the Qiang people have been a group of bullied and suppressed people in the Hexi region.

Both the Xiongnu and the Yueshi regarded the Qiang as troublemakers and threats to their rule, and spared no effort to attack and suppress them.

Any Qiang tribe, once the Huns find their traces and track them to the tribe's station, then there will be Hun cavalry to kill them immediately.

All the men who dared to resist were killed, and the women and children were taken captive.

Now, the Han Dynasty is coming.

What would the Han people do to themselves?

Nobody knows.

The Qiang people could only stare at these distant visitors in trembling, carefully observing their movements, and at the same time, speculating in horror about the goals of the Han Dynasty.

Other nomadic herders in the area of Heli Mountain are like frightened birds, scattering and fleeing.

They knew that the sudden arrival of the Han Dynasty meant war.

"Do the people of the Han Dynasty really want to exterminate the people who draw the bow?" The leaders of many tribes were worried.

…………………………………………

Riding on the horse, Ju Meng looked curiously at this unknown and strange world, and at the same time recalled in his mind the information he had seen earlier about the area of Heli Mountain and the specific information about the enemy he was about to face.

Naturally, the mood is a little nervous and uneasy.

Prior to this, Ju Meng had never been in command.

He has been in Chang'an City, and the guards are by the side of the Son of Heaven.

As the most trusted and effective personal guard of today, for nine years, Ju Meng has been conscientiously abiding by his duties.

In Chang'an City, he is the object of everyone's admiration and envy.

Glory and wealth, high-rise houses, rare treasures, inexhaustible!

He even only needs to hook his hands, from Chang'an to Jiaozhi, from Andong to Qilu, and those who are willing to sacrifice their wives and daughters and treasures can be lined up from Chang'an City to Zengshan Pass.

But......

Whether it is glory and wealth, whether it is a high-rise house or a beautiful house, Yang or a beauty treasure, in the eyes of his drama Meng, it is actually not worth anything.

In his life, he never cared about these things.

The eldest husband, since he was born in his life, should not be a fly and a dog, but should follow the example of the bird and show the ambition of Ling Tian.

Ju Meng has been longing and fantasizing that one day, he can take command of the expedition, make contributions, make a name for himself in the world, and leave his mark on history.

After nine years of waiting, this opportunity finally came.

But he was also inexplicably nervous because of this.

No way, he has never had the experience of leading troops in battle, and this expedition is the first time he has to face the unpredictable and strange war.

Although the enemy is weak.

All intelligence and information indicate that the opponent he will face is a rabble, straggler cavalry of the Western Huns.

Those terrible horses that were once active in the Hexi Corridor, or who were once imposing, have long been wiped out today.

The only one that can pose a slight threat to the Han army is the only pillar of the Western Xiongnu now - the Zhelan cavalry.

However, the Zhelan cavalry had already been destroyed by the Han army in the Battle of Mayi.

The current Zhelan people are no longer the terrible cavalry that suppressed the world, whipped the world, and was called the whip of Shan Yu.

The Han army was under the Wu Zhou Fortress that year, and even the Zhelan cavalry in its heyday could be destroyed.

Not to mention today's Zhelan cavalry?

However......

Drama Meng knows very well that he can't be careless.

This time, the Han army came from an expedition of laborers, and its opponent was to wait for work and occupy the geographical advantage.

The advantage of geographical advantages is enough to make up for the lack of combat power.

"Have you sent a messenger?" Ju Meng asked a lieutenant beside him.

In this battle, the Han army could dispatch no more than 10,000 cavalry.

In contrast, the Western Xiongnu could mobilize tens of thousands of troops and had a geographical advantage.

The Han army from afar, fighting in this unfamiliar environment, will definitely be a little unadaptable.

So......

Ju Meng focused his attention on the Qiang people around Heli Mountain and the nomadic Xiu Tu and the evil old department who were nomadic for more than 500 miles behind Heli Mountain.

During the Battle of Gaoque, the Hutu people surrendered on the spot, and the Hun evil tribe retreated to Hexi with the Huns.

After the war, the cavalry and herdsmen of the Hutu tribe who surrendered were placed by the Han family to nomadic herders near the homeland of Jiuyuan as servants of the Han family.

Most of the elites of the Hutu tribe chose to join the Loyal Warriors and were organized as the Hugh Tu Cavalry of the Loyal Warriors.

After the first war of the swallow thistle, and the canal and the carving is difficult to reverse the water, in the seventh year of Yuande, the West Xiongnu ceded Heli Mountain.

As a result, the Hutu tribe was able to return to their homeland, Guzang City.

And with the support of the Han army, he annexed the other clans that remained in the Guzang area.

However, the Han family is not a philanthropist, and it is naturally not to learn from Lei Feng to do good deeds by supporting the Xiutu tribe.

But to let Hugh Tu people be cannon fodder today, when the Han army launched an attack on Hexi.

In addition, the Qiang people and other nomadic tribes around Heli Mountain also had to make a choice.

Before the Han army attacked, these tribes could only choose between destruction and submission.

If you go outside, you must first settle inside.

It was impossible for the Han army to attack rashly before the threat around Heli Mountain was cleared.

"General, more than ten envoys have been sent to inform the leaders of the various departments to come to Heli Mountain to discuss the ......," the lieutenant replied, "Hugh Tuhou Jin Zhong has also set off with his cavalry......"

After listening to it, Meng nodded, extremely satisfied.

Hugh Tu people are very qualified cannon fodder, and besides, they are familiar with the geography and environment, and with them leading the way, the Han army's actions in this area will be unimpeded.

As for whether Hugh Tu will play any tricks?

It doesn't matter if it's drama.

Because, if Xiu Tu dares to brush his heart, then Guzang City is waiting to be destroyed!

The Han army set out from Beidi County, and the cavalry only needed two days to march to Guzang City.

Besides, Hugh Tu didn't dare to jump.

Hugh slaughtered Jin Zhong's heirs and brothers, all of whom were hostages in Chang'an.

If he dares to play tricks, he will wait to be exterminated!

It was the Qiang people near Heli Mountain that made Ju Meng feel a little headache.

Qiang, an incomparably ancient nation.

As early as the Yin Shang era, Qiang Fang was already one of the Fang countries.

King Wu of Zhou attacked merchants, and the Qiang people also made great efforts.

The Qiang people were even once listed as princes, and today's Chinese surname Jiang is not only closely related to the Qiang, but even developed from the Qiang.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Qiang people were extremely active.

Many important ethnic groups such as the dog Rong and Yiqu are inextricably linked with the Qiang people.

Some people even speculate that the dog Rong is a nomadic among the Qiang people.

Today, the Qiang people have largely disappeared from China.

But in this land west of the river, the Qiang people are still very prosperous.

According to conservative estimates, the population of the Qiang tribe in Hexi is about 300,000.

Just in the vicinity of this Heli Mountain, there are more than ten Qiang tribes, with a population of about 20,000 or 30,000.

These ancient peoples, known as the 'Western Qiang' by the Han family, are still no different from the Qiang tribes of hundreds or even thousands of years ago.

They slash and burn, and are clothed, or shepherd sheep for a living, or plough as their main master.

Ignorance and stubbornness are the true portrayal of them.

If the Han family wants to completely control and manage Heli Mountain and even Juyan and Hexi.

Then, the problem of the Qiang people is a problem that must be solved.

The Han family must not repeat the mistakes of the Huns and let the Qiang people become a time bomb and trouble in Hexi.

The Han dynasty needed to establish a solid rule in the land west of the river.

The submission or cooperation of the Qiang people is the most important thing!

Whether it is with poetry and music, or with iron and blood.

The Qiang people should go out of the mountains and accept the edification of civilization! Otherwise, the Qiang people, hidden in the mountains, haunted and acting casually, may become the greatest threat to the Han rule in Hexi.

This time, the drama Meng came here, and he also had the mission of exploring and seeking the coexistence of Han and Qiang, or the future of Han and Qiang integration.

Of course, in any case, it is mainly based on Zhuxia.

The Qiang people should take the initiative to integrate into Zhuxia.

If the plan goes well, one hundred and ten years later, the Qiang people will be like Di Qiang, turning into Zhuxia, which is the work of eternity!

But he also knows that this matter is extremely difficult!

If the Qiang people were easy to deal with, the Huns would have succeeded long ago!

Judging from what Ju Meng knew, when Lao Shangdan Yu was in power, he even went to the tribe of the Qiang people in person to appease and reward the nobles of the Qiang people.

Outcome......

This tribe was honest for three years, and then the old disease relapsed, and continued to go out of the mountains to plunder and attack the Xiongnu tribes.

Lao Shangdan Yu was furious and ordered the Xiongnu Right Xian King to lead the army to severely punish the Qiang people.

More than a dozen tribes were slaughtered and tens of thousands of people were killed.

However, it was only a year of shock and a year of peace in Hexi.

Facts have proved that the Qiang people are soft and hard.

Since then, the attitude of the Huns towards the Qiang people has completely changed.

When the Huns encounter the Qiang, they will definitely kill them.

The Qiang people are like frightened birds, so they can only choose to hide among the mountains and take advantage of their geographical advantages to avoid the encirclement and suppression of the Huns.

Later, it was mixed with the Xiaoyue clan, which became the biggest trouble for the Xiongnu rule in Hexi.

"To solve the problem of the Qiang people's unruliness, we still have to change their way of life, change customs, and turn Qiang into a summer ......" The drama Meng remembered the instructions given to him by the Son of Heaven when he left Beijing, and he had a plan in his heart.

Among the Qiang tribes, those who are willing to cooperate can naturally choose a good place for them, teach them advanced farming techniques and methods, seeds, and grant them land and houses.

and those who are not willing to cooperate......

Canal engineering and the industrial and commercial circles require a lot of labor!

………………………………

An hour later, Ju Meng arrived at the Han army camp at the foot of Heli Mountain.

It is said to be a barracks, but it is actually a small fortress.

This fortress is built on the mountain, although it is simple, but it is also a good look, the city wall is as high as three zhang, built of solid stone, on the city wall, there are dozens of arrow towers, and there are several bed crossbows.

Considering that the Han army gained control of Heli Mountain, it was only a year before they were able to build such a camp here, which is indeed remarkable!

Ju Meng looked at the city and nodded.

This time, he came here first, and his first goal was to establish a solid control area around Mount Hali.

With such a stronghold, there is a foothold.

"Captain Chen Wu of Heli Mountain in Beidi County, I have seen the general!"

For the arrival of reinforcements, Chen Wu and the defenders of Heli Mountain stationed here were very happy.

They were ordained by the Son of Heaven to be stationed here, and loneliness and loneliness filled their bodies and minds.

The nearest Han family border fortress to them was still hundreds of miles away on the side of a big river.

Now, everyone is overjoyed to have so many siblings at once.

More importantly, the arrival of reinforcements showed that the court had decided to attack Hexi.

They are willing to stay away from their hometown and homeland, come here thousands of miles away, defend the land for the country, and wait for today.

Chen Wu's face turned red with excitement.

He knew he was right!

As a son of a poor family, he knew that this battle was enough to determine the future of him and his family!

……………………………………

Thousands of miles away, facing the wind and sand outside the plug.

Chen's army marched across the endless wasteland.

After several days of marching, at this moment, Chen Xu's army had arrived in the Western Liao River Valley, the Horqin Grassland.

This is a rich land that the Xia army has never set foot on before.

The water and grass are abundant, and the grass and trees are prosperous.

Chen Xu stationed his army on the side of an unnamed valley, waiting for the scouts to come back and report the reconnaissance.

A day earlier, scouts sent by Chen Xu's army had encountered a tribe of the Hu people in the area, and before a single shot was fired, the small tribe surrendered.

Through this department, Chen Xu learned that this place originally belonged to the autumn pasture of the Xiongnu Youxian King.

After the Xiongnu retreated north, it was occupied by Lin Hu.

The power of the Linhu people is very strong, there are tens of thousands of people, and their troops retreated to the east a month ago, and now they don't know where they have withdrawn?

But another piece of information provided by these people made Chen Xu and his officers excited.

This is the tribe that once lived here, a mixture of agrarian and nomadic tribes.

In other words, the people here can both farm and herd!

That's great!

There is a shortage of hired workers on the plantation, who can skillfully serve the crops!

It is necessary to save these Yidi, who are in the wild and barren land outside Hua, who drink blood and do not know the king, and lead them to the right path of China's royal road!

As for that so-called Linghu?

Well, just as a resource for the army to operate here!

On this expedition, Chen Xu did not carry too much military rations.

He only brought about a month's worth of dry food and forage, which was to be able to track down the enemy more quickly, and it was also a strategy that he had planned for a long time to snatch food and grass from the enemy.

As a good plantation owner, the last thing Chen Xu can't tolerate is waste!

To leave the thorn Jing Ke said

Sorry, I was supposed to have to break out today, but it turned out ...... The state is extremely different, just like a big aunt, how to write can't write well, there is no inspiration, adjust the state, tomorrow must be three watches!
