Volume 6 Separate Calculations] Chapter 299 The Heavenly Calamity Descends from the Heavens-

Shuofang County in the north of Bingzhou has now become a happy land for the Huang Xuan people. General Zhenbei is a man who keeps his promises, and none of the benefits promised when the tribes merged at the beginning have been lost, and all of them have been fulfilled in the past two years.

The original Qiang people, the current Huangxuan people, they are not good at farming, they used to occupy a large area of land in Shangjun, and they did not toss much grain. On the contrary, they are naturally willing to work with cattle, sheep and horses, and have an instinctive passion and long-term experience in animal husbandry. So Zhao Xing migrated them together to the Heshuo area, which is rich in water and grass, which is very suitable for free-range horses.

Nowadays, in the Linrong, Guangmu, Woye and other areas of Shuofang County, tall and strong cities have been built, with rows of stables and cattle and sheep pens, and when winter comes, the Huang Xuan people who were originally nomadic will drive cattle, horses, and sheep into several cities, and spend the cold winter in warm and sturdy houses, and no longer have to worry about livestock being frozen to death by a sudden snowstorm.

The stable and sheepfold designed and built by Zhao Xing is very distinctive, with pipes buried in the ground and in the middle of the walls, which can be heated by burning coal and stone. Nowadays, the coal and stone mines in various parts of the state produce an astonishing amount, which is enough for the people of the state to boil water for cooking on weekdays and heat themselves in winter, which is really a good thing.

Every year in winter, the city is stocked with enough grain and forage to survive the winter. Each household of the Huang Xuan clan only needs to report to the city government office M-N the number of livestock they are going to sell this year, and the various items they need to buy, and then sit at home and wait for the government to take away the cattle, horses, and sheep, and at the same time bring the salt, soju, y-o materials, and cloth they ordered.

If there is any remaining wealth after the end of the Jiāo Yi, the Huangxuan people can choose to accept bills, gold and silver, or Changhe Daqu from the government. The vast majority of people chose the long river Daqu, some chose light bills, and few liked to store bulky gold and silver.

The patriarch of the Huangxuan clan is Hu Che'er, who is worshipped by the locals as a great hero. Because Hu Che'er is not only the patriarch of his own clan, but now he is also the commander of the Blue Wolf Army of the Zhenbei Legion with heavy troops. And many descendants of the Huang Xuan clan are also married to Han generals, and NVs like Myolie Wu and Hu Liya are all indescribably expensive.

Zhao Xing's policy of ethnic integration is subtly changing the perceptions and perceptions of these ethnic minorities, for example, the current Huangxuan and Southern Xiongnu no longer regard themselves as outsiders, but regard themselves as people from Bingzhou. They also have citizenship certificates that have just been issued by the Governor of Bingzhou, and their names are on the household register of Bingzhou, and they enjoy the same treatment as Han Chinese. Their children can also be sent to the school to read and write, give a Han name, and become an official or general like the Han in the future, and marry the Han son......

If, without a sudden calamity, the Huang Xuan people who had already begun to live a happy life, their happiness would have lasted forever instead of being ruthlessly interrupted......

On the 15th day of the seventh month of the third year of Zhongping, the Han people call this day the Zhongyuan Festival, which is a day to alleviate the sins and sufferings of the deceased. Elder Sahutu of the Huang Xuan clan, who was in Fertile City, suddenly received a piece of news that made his heart jump, a large number of Xianbei people had been found in the north, and they were rapidly approaching Shuofang.

"Immediately ask the general defending the city to light the beacon fire at the head of the city to warn, and quickly gather the clansmen to enter the city!" Sahutu immediately gave the order and rushed to the mansion of the Han general stationed here.

The general stationed in Fertile Field was Lü Xiang, and his brother Lü Kuang was stationed in Linrong, not far away. After listening to Sahutu's warning, he immediately asked the herald to inform the battalion commanders to come to discuss the matter urgently, and all the troops went to the city to defend.

After several quiet internal transfers, the two brothers, Lü Xiang and Lü Kuang, are now the commanders of the 1st and 2nd Independent Regiments of the "Xiongwu Army" under Guan Yu stationed in Shuofang, each with 1,000 cavalry infantry, and the main task is to prevent the Xianbei people from attacking south. As a bridgehead against Xianbei, Lü Xiang and Lü Kuang need to hold the city under the siege of the Xianbei army and wait for reinforcements, which is not an easy task.

This time the Xianbei people's southward movement was too sudden, and the shadow team members who were collecting intelligence everywhere didn't even notice it, and Huang Xuanren, who was still a nomadic herd in the north, hurriedly brought people back to report the letter, in order to send the news of the Xianbei people's southward movement to Linwo as soon as possible, this family didn't even want livestock. Of course, if you encounter Xianbei people head-on, it is estimated that you will not even be able to pick up your life.

The independent regiment of the "Xiongwu Army", which was quickly deployed, soon saw a large number of Xianbei people running towards Woye City, but what made people feel strange was that these Xianbei people seemed to be chased by something terrible, not like they were going south to fight, but like they were fleeing south. As they approached the city, some of them fell off their horses for no apparent reason, and some of them fell to the ground with a scream.

Lu Xiang, who was defending the city, was still strange at first, but when the Xianbei people were about to enter the sh-distance of the bows and arrows of the defenders at the head of the city, he found the problem. So Lu Xiang loudly ordered the defenders at the head of the city: "The whole army obeys the order, indiscriminately SH-attack, anyone who dares to approach the city will be killed, and the Chu-ng crossbow and thunder that defend the city can be let go of use!"

"Uh-huh!" a warning sh- shot down outside the city, and at that time, dozens of Xianbei people who ran in front of the sh- became hedgehogs.

"Listen to the Xianbei people in the city, if you dare to get close to the city, you will be killed!" Lu Xiang asked the herald who knew Xianbei to hold a loudspeaker and shouted loudly at the city.

Looking at the towering city wall in front of them and the dense archers at the head of the city, the Xianbei people, who had no way out, suddenly seemed to have been taken away by Chōu The last glimmer of hope, one by one fell off their horses, knelt on the ground and pleaded with the soldiers at the head of the city.

The leader of this tribe was called Pu Xuru, and despite the danger of being turned into a hedgehog by the Han people, he raised his hands and walked to the front of the city, and shouted to Lu Xiang at the head of the city: "Respected Han general, please take my tribe in." We were abandoned by Xianbei Dadan Yu Kuitou, and now there are devils on the northern prairie, and my people are about to be unable to live, as long as you can take us in this time, we are willing to be cattle and horses in the future!"

The herald relayed Pu Yanru's words to Lu Xiang. Lu Xiang's face was shocked after hearing this, and finally confirmed his guess, this group of Xianbei people in the city was infected with the plague!

"Herald, tell this leader that they are possessed by the devil and that it is impossible for them to enter the city, but we can provide them with clean water and food. The premise is that they must immediately kill all the livestock and the people who have been tainted with the devil, dig a pit and burn it, and bury it deeply!" Lu Xiang said coldly.

Without waiting for the herald to finish shouting, Lu Xiang turned around and whispered a few words to Elder Sahutu, which immediately caused the old man's face to change greatly, and he quickly went down the city.

As an old man with rich experience in grassland life, Sahutu didn't wait for Lu Xiang to tell him, he had already begun to suspect in his heart that the people under the city were infected with the devil, and after receiving Lu Xiang's affirmative answer, he immediately panicked in his heart. Fortunately, Lu Xiang told Sahutu some emergency measures, and comforted the elder that as long as General Zhenbei was there, no demons and monsters could invade the state.

Sahutu expressed his understanding and support for some of Lu Xiang's decisive and even cruel decisions, but he was extremely worried about the people who were still nomadic and had not returned to the fertile wilderness. When these clansmen discovered the devil and began to flee for their lives in Fertile City, they would still face Lu Xiang's indiscriminate sh-strike order......

After a while, a desolate trumpet sounded at the head of the fertile city, announcing that the city had entered the first level of martial law. Everyone was given more than two white S-masks, forbidden to walk around the streets, and had to stay in the house and wait for the government's next order.

In Fertile City, it has entered the highest level of epidemic prevention stipulated by Zhao Xing, and all emergency plans have been activated. All the water sources in the city are guarded by the people and guards of the infirmary, and no one is allowed to approach, all kinds of food and daily supplies are put under military control.
