Chapter 170: Destroy Xiqiang, Dinghanzhong
,!
In April 196 AD, in the middle of summer, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan fought a decisive battle in Nanpi.
The two men were close to each other, and the land of Hebei suddenly fought lively. The Tang army received good news one after another, the soldiers and horses of the counties were recruited, Gan Ning recovered and returned to Chang'an with Xiao Peizhong.
Three joys came to the door, ** couldn't help but be happy, and took Lu Bu and Gan Ning's hands and said:
"Lone is worried about the many military affairs of Shangyong, Zixian is anxious, there is Xingba's return, Shangyong's dilemma is solved, and Liangzhou has been suffering for a long time, and Wenhou has arrived, which can save the people from fire and water."
The Tang Palace set up a banquet again, and the martial arts reunited, Zhang Liao, Huang Xu and others congratulated the king, and the generals pushed the cup to change the lamp, and the trouble was dispersed until dawn.
**Called the queen, the generals have their own mansions, Lu Bu's share is naturally a deep mansion compound that has been prepared a long time ago, and considering the birth of Lu Bu's young son, ** Another 18 grandmothers and maids were sent, Lu Lingqi missed her father and moved to live early.
At this time, the soldiers and horses were newly recruited, and the general was in need of training, ** and Gan Ning and others were intimate for a few days, and they were also ordered to go to the counties as originally planned, or to train Jinfan soldiers, or to set up a camp, and each settled in the barracks.
On the afternoon of this day, ** got the letter, saying that Cao Cao was diagnosed and treated by Hua Tuo, although he refused to open his craniotomy, he also stabilized his head wind, and summoned the general overnight, suspected of making a big move.
In this regard, ** sighed silently, and he and Cao Cao have both laws? Hurriedly sent people to summon Lu Bu, Chen Gong, Wei Yan, and Yan Xing to the palace to meet and start the battle of "exterminating Qiang".
The Qiang people live in a very large range, and several large tribes close to the counties of Longxi are collectively called Xiqiang, and they have been harassing the Han land for a long time, and there are countless enemies in the sea of blood.
Not to mention, on the day of Li Wei's defeat, Xiqiang plundered Chang'an, burned it overnight, and almost slaughtered the famous families in the city, and even Cai Yan was almost taken away by him, and he hated it deeply.
Since ** entered Liangzhou, although Xiqiang did not attack the city with a large army, he committed crimes in the border villages of Wuwei, Wuwei was too angry Li Yan was very angry, but he was suffering from no soldiers and no generals, and he couldn't move, and after a long time, Xiqiang also noticed that the Wuwei defenders were empty, and their actions were becoming more and more presumptuous, which had become a major disaster on the border.
Before the crossing, ** is just an ordinary college student, although he loves the history of the Three Kingdoms, but most of the cognition is still obtained from the game, a group of famous ministers will be naturally acquainted, but there is not much understanding of the surrounding alien races in the late Han Dynasty, and even if it is not for Sister Cai's intellect, he can't tell the Qiang people in the southeast and northwest, Wuhuan, Shanyue, Xianbei, etc., not to mention doing a good job of targeting measures to break the enemy in one fell swoop.
Fortunately, Lu Bu was brave, in the early days when he was in the state, he also fought with foreign races, and Yan Xing was familiar with the situation of the Qiang people, so he gave full play to his advantages in employing people, and after setting a big goal, all the details were decided by themselves.
With the bravery of Li Yan, Le Jin, Yan Xing, Wei Yan, and Lu Bu, coupled with the wisdom of Chen Gong, with the Tang army's sophisticated weapons and armor and sufficient grain and grass, they fought head-on, and the combination of 30,000 elite cavalry and spearmen was enough to wipe out Xiqiang.
However, nomads are born to raise, there are no bases and counties, what they are best at is to harass, and they hide in **** when the army crusades. There are 400,000 people in this Xiqiang, regardless of men, women, old and young, all of them are skilled in bows and horses, come and go like the wind, and their riding skills are exquisite. In front of them, the infantry-based army seemed even more cumbersome, so the kings of the past generations had the intention of begging for thieves, but in the end most of them returned in vain.
In the first month of Lü Bu's arrival in Wuwei, Xiqiang did not know the details of the Tang army, and dared to lead his troops to fight. The two sides fought more than 20 bloody battles, the Tang army beheaded tens of thousands, Wei Yan and several people felt that they had made great progress, Lu Bufei's name shook the grassland, Xiqiang was defeated and fled, but as in previous years, he went deep into the grassland.
When the Tang army pursued and killed, Xiqiang attacked the grain and grass arteries, avoiding the real and the virtual, so down, Lu Bu had the characteristics of a flying general, and led 15,000 horsemen to chase after him, but the rest of the soldiers and horses could only eat ashes, and finally returned in vain.
......
In this situation, ** thought about it day and night, but in the end, on a boring night, when he got Yan Xing's intelligence, he came up with a "desperate plan".
As the saying goes, the strongest fortresses tend to collapse from within, and the Xiqiang, like the Han Chinese, sent many factions and often attacked each other before.
Among them, there are several branches with a higher level of education and willing to be friendly with the Han people, such as Aligu, who was used by Han Sui to drive or help Jia Xu train horses.
No one knows Xiqiang better than them, ** simply came to salute first and then soldier, with Yan Xing taking heavy money as a lure, Lu Bu's army deterred, divided the internal forces of Xiqiang, and successfully influenced a Xiqiang tribe of 30,000 people, willing to break away from the grassland, scattered into the three counties of Xiliang, and change nomadism to agriculture.
After getting the information and movements of the Xiqiang army from the mouth of the leader of this "Qiang traitor", Li Yan set up a fireball ambush when he was close to the periphery of the grassland for rectification, and then the wolf rode a thunderous attack in the state, and fought for several days.
The Tang army also suffered heavy losses, but ** gritted his teeth and ordered him not to relax, and ordered Lu Bu to lead the remnants of the army to pursue at the tail of the ranks, and the seven thousand wolves rode to fight to feed the war, not seeking a large number of beheadings, but if they drove cattle and horses, they would go back and forth in the grassland, and they would not be able to rest.
If it was January, although the Xiqiang tribes wanted to organize troops and horses to resist, they had no chance to breathe, starved to death, trampled on the dead did not know how many, and the rest collapsed and surrendered.
This battle, fought from mid-April to August, missed a season of farming in Liangzhou, cost tens of thousands of dollars, 300,000 grains and grass, and poured the financial supply of the six counties, and the huge Tang Army's family was almost hollowed out.
And this battle to exterminate Qiang is equally amazing!
The cattle, sheep and horses accumulated by Xiqiang for decades, not to mention the millions, left a small part to continue to be grazed by special personnel on this prairie, and the others were either trained as war horses or divided into ploughing cattle, and most of them were slaughtered on the spot as food.
The cattle and horses are only counted as small heads, and the Tang army captured and surrendered, with a total population of 200,000, of which only more than 30,000 are young and strong, but because of the imbalance in the age structure of the Xiqiang ethnic group, there are also very few old people, most of whom are women and children, and can be manpower.
For these people, ** had already made arrangements, but there was still a trace of unbearability on his face, and finally he sighed and relented.
Five chaotic China, the Han people have been slaughtered, who will sigh a word of sadness?
All the Xiqiang population was enslaved, and from now on, it was escorted by Lu Bu and the cavalry, and the four counties of Wuwei, Tianshui, Anding, and Shangyong, each took 30,000 Han people, and moved to the empty city of Hanzhong.
A group of Xiqiang people, for the sake of safety, only had one dry meal a day, crossed thousands of mountains and mountains, and when they arrived in Hanzhong, they were exhausted to death by tens of thousands of old and weak.
The Han people who moved to Hanzhong were naturally treated differently, although each county got the quota, but they tried to choose those who went voluntarily, for example, those who came from Hanzhong that day, there were many people who missed their hometown and wanted to return to Hanzhong for a long time.
The Han and Xiqiang people, a total of 300,000 re-established themselves in Hanzhong, reclaimed the barren fields, built a bazaar, and had Lu Bu's cavalry in the town, and the nearby bandits and bandits were cleared out, and they quickly settled down.
"System prompt: Tang army captures Hanzhong."
The population of Xiqiang was used as slaves, and they were roughly divided into three classes:
The third class is the lowest, which is the one who does not understand Chinese and has no skills, can only do the heaviest dirty work, and does not have their own fields and houses, and all the income from labor goes to the official treasury;
If you don't understand the language but have skills, such as the blacksmith on the grassland, it is second-class, you can have your own houses and fields, and the three elders in the township and county take the name of Han, although the quarterly tax is twice as high as that of the Han people, after all, there is a hope for life, and the complaints are not high;
Those who are proficient in the Chinese language, regardless of others, are all of the first class, enjoy all the rights of the second class, and after one year of double payment of taxes, they are generally the same as the Han people;
Those who have joined the army for three years or have children who have intermarried with Han Chinese can get rid of their slave status and join the Han nationality.
Jia Xu set these three levels of slavery, and the meaning of oppression was not strong, but the main thing was to naturalize them as soon as possible. And starting from the language, because ** is convinced that language is the soul and backbone of a nation, these Xiqiang people in order to live a good life, will naturally spare no effort to learn Chinese, not long, maybe as soon as three or five years, Hanzhong will have no slaves, only ordinary Han people, and then it can be regarded as a real stability of this county.
When Hanzhong is arranged, thousands of hectares of barren land are reclaimed, and the heart stone is unloaded, it is November, the snowy season in the depths of winter.
......
Gongsun Zhan came down for half a year, counted Zhongtian Feng and frustrated the strategy, and invested 100,000 troops before and after, all of which were defeated, and had to retreat to Xiangping, and the city broke and committed suicide after holding on for a few days. General Zhao Yun was in the chaos of the army, and injured Yan Liang with a seven-way snake **, and successfully led a hundred horsemen to break through.
Since then, Youzhou has fallen into the hands of Yuan Shao, and Hebei has become a family.
At the end of 196 AD, Yuan Shao did not listen to Tian Feng's advice, listened to Yuan Shu's opinions, abolished Liu Yu, ascended the throne, and the country was called Jin.
And at this time, there are only nine days left, and the New Year is coming.
