Chapter 368: Xianbei Locust
On this morning, Liu Hou was exercising in the imperial garden of the Xuchang Imperial Palace, and his method of exercising his body was basically to do five bird operas and play tai chi. He always insisted on fighting these two punches every day.
As for Zhao Yunjiao's marksmanship, advanced martial arts, etc., he will only practice once every few days, after all, he will mainly live in the deep palace in the future, and he will no longer need to fight in battle, no matter how good his martial arts are, there is no place for him, plus he is busy with political affairs, and he does not have much time to study martial arts.
Although due to his arrival, the medical level of this world has developed greatly, but the establishment of the entire medical system cannot be completed overnight. He knew that in his lifetime, it would be impossible to advance the medical level of the Great Han to the level of later generations.
Living in a world with a backward level of medicine, it is very important to take preventive health measures to ensure that you are healthy and that you will not get sick from serious illnesses. There are no gods in this world, no tertiary hospitals, and no ICU, if you accidentally have a serious illness, then no one can save your life.
Therefore, he never dared to be sloppy about health care. In addition to practicing these two ancient fitness exercises every day, he also pays attention to food hygiene. In addition, he named some famous doctors as imperial doctors, and asked them to help him check his body if he had anything to do~ The body, adjust the diet structure, and explain some health knowledge.
Just when Liu Hou was sweating slightly from practicing boxing, he suddenly heard a report from the waiter: Guo Youzhi asked to see him. Liu Hou didn't stop his work, he just said the word "Xuan" and asked people to announce him in.
Liu Hou only has three empresses, and he does not have seven concubines in three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines like other emperors, and there are too many women to take care of, so he is not worried about what mess will be caused by other men entering the harem.
Of course, not everyone can enter the harem, only a few ministers that Liu Hou absolutely trusts, and he will receive them in the harem. Therefore, the ministers were also proud to be able to enter the harem to meet the emperor.
It didn't take long to hear the sound of hurried footsteps from far to near, Liu Hou just finished finishing and standing still, he took the towel handed over by the palace maid on the side, wiped his sweat, and took the tea handed over by another palace maid and took a sip, then Shi Shiran turned to Guo Youzhi: "Guo Aiqing, is there anything important?" ”
Guo Youzhi hurriedly bowed and saluted, Liu Hou waved his hand, signaled him to be exempt, and then beckoned him to sit down in the pavilion and reply. Guo Youzhi was not polite, followed Liu Hou into the pavilion, and sat down on the stone bench opposite Liu Hou before saying:
"Your Majesty, the Xianbei cavalry has entered the territory of Jizhou, but the local officials have reported that the Xianbei cavalry has done a lot of harm along the way, causing a lot of nuisance to the locality, and I hope the court can find a way to restrain them."
With Guo Youzhi's narration, Liu Hou knew that those Xianbei cavalry had no discipline at all, and after they entered the Central Plains Huahua World, they couldn't withstand all kinds of temptation~ temptation, although they didn't dare to do things like killing people and setting fires, but they didn't do any dirty things in the secret, such as stealing chickens and touching dogs.
At first, they still secretly ~ did some bad things, but later, some people were bold and even robbed the local people. In addition, the crossing of the army was like the passage of locusts, trampling many crops to the point of disarray, causing great damage to the local people.
The Han people are an agricultural civilization, and the Central Plains are densely packed with farmland, which is far from the environment on the grassland. And those Xianbei cavalry are accustomed to galloping on the grassland, after entering the Central Plains, they are not used to walking along a narrow path, some people can't bear it, and they don't care about letting their horses run on the fields when they are wild, so countless crops are trampled by horses' hooves.
"Bang!" Liu Hou slapped on the stone table, completely ignoring the pain of his palm being hit by the hard table, he said angrily:
"How can this be reasonable, these Hu people are really wild and untamable, it seems that they are not cleaned up. Sumi sent an order to him to restrain their sons, and if this kind of thing happened again, there would be no forgiveness! Let them all walk on the official road, and whoever dares to let the horses go to the farmland will still be killed. Which unit is closest to them? ”
Guo Youzhi replied: "The Fourth Division is in Bohai County, which is the closest to them. ”
"Order the Fourth Division to draw two brigades over as law enforcement teams, and once the Xianbei people who violate discipline are caught, they will be immediately beheaded!" Liu Hou said with a murderous awe.
Now that the territory of the former Wei State has been taken over, it is more than enough for the Fourth Division to leave one brigade to do some finishing work, so the transfer of their two brigades will not have much impact on their original plan.
After Guo Youzhi agreed, he said: "Even if they are allowed to take the official road, it is estimated that the road surface that has been trampled by tens of thousands of war horses will not be used, so we still have to arrange people to repair the road along the way." ”
In fact, Guo Youzhi is still less. The cavalry of the Hu people is not a cavalry or a horse. They often have two horses or even three horses for one person, so as to ensure that they have enough horsepower for long runs.
This time, 50,000 Xianbei cavalry entered the Central Plains, although they did not need to march at high speed, but they needed to march over a long distance, so they were basically one person and two horses. In this way, 50,000 cavalry actually had 100,000 horses.
Together with the 30,000 horses and some cattle and sheep that were paid tribute to the imperial court, the whole team had more than 200,000 head of livestock. Each animal has four hooves, 200,000 hooves is 800,000 hooves, and the official road that has been trampled by 800,000 hooves can only be described as miserable.
In some places in Shudi, concrete roads have now begun to be built, but in these newly occupied territories, the official roads are still the same dirt roads as before. These dirt roads are dusty when they blow and muddy when they rain.
And because of years of war, many official roads have been in disrepair, potholes, and trampled by such a large number of livestock, many roads and even roadbeds have been destroyed, directly turned into a muddy field.
Hearing this, Liu Hou secretly screamed in his heart that he had lost a lot, and this time he transferred the Xianbei cavalry to enter the customs, which seemed to be a loss-making deal. These Xianbei people don't know whether they can fight or not, but the economic losses they have caused to the local area are too great to calculate.
But the matter has come to this point, and I have no regrets about taking the medicine, so I can only find a way to remedy it. So, he asked Guo Youzhi: "What is Aiqing's response?" ”
Guo Youzhi said: "The minister has two strategies. First, let the Xianbei cavalry immediately change their route, don't let them come to Xuchang, and let them go directly to the front line bordering Wei to wait, so as not to cause further damage to the hinterland of the Central Plains. Second, requisition and dispatch of people to build roads. ”
