Chapter 48: Plunder

"The subordinates have a plan to break the current dilemma." Yang Zheng arched his hand.

"Xingyun, come quickly."

"If a thief attacks me, I can also attack a thief, and the general can send capable soldiers to pretend to be thieves, kill into the Qiang land, kidnap its population, plunder its grain and grass, and burn its villages, which can not only increase our army's strength, but also train our troops!" Yang Zheng stared at Xiahou Ba's eyes.

In fact, the advantage of the thieves is only the geographical advantage, relying on the southwest mountain terrain, flowing around.

When the Wei army came, the thieves scattered, the Wei army went, the thieves gathered, and came back.

"This plan ......" Xiahou Ba's eyes flashed, and his expression was quite hesitant.

He was born noble and upright, and it is understandable that he would not do this desperate scheme, but the soldiers are also treacherous.

Ordinary means can't deal with thieves at all.

If the strategy is offered, whether it can be used or not is all up to him.

Yang Zheng waited quietly.

In fact, half of his plan was also selfish.

This is the case in Caohan, there is no one to ask for people, there is no money to ask for money, and if you want to develop, you can only use your brains on other races.

If it is adopted, it can enrich itself by plundering Yidi.

"This plan will be delayed for a while, and it will be discussed after the alliance of the chieftains of Zhuyi." Xiahouba finally refused.

Yang Zheng was disappointed.

But this is also normal, Xiahou Ba has a bold personality and is eager to face off with the enemy on the battlefield.

But in the current situation, others may not be willing to give this opportunity.

Therefore, in Yang Zheng's mind, Xiahouba is just a qualified general, not a commander.

After all, they can't surpass Deng Ai and Guo Huai......

Out of the military hall, Yang Zheng apologized to Li Mi, "Shicai is in a hurry, and his words are offensive, so don't blame Sima." ”

Li Mi has too many books to get angry, so he has so many taken things for granted.

"Why did Xingyun say this, you and I are all for the general, when each expresses his own opinions, if the general adopts your strategy, it is indeed feasible to spend a single soldier in Chang'an."

Hearing him say this, Yang Zheng was relieved.

"If the leaders of the Qiang people come to the alliance, there is no need to take this risk."

Li Mi laughed, "That's very good. ”

Yang Zheng observed it several times, and was relieved to see that he really didn't mean to blame.

After waiting in Taoyang for four or five days, only two Di leaders came, and the Qiang people such as Oh He Yaoge did not even have a shadow.

Xiahou Ba's plan to kill a hundred people ended in nothing, all the Qiang people did not cooperate, who are you going to kill?

The Qiang people also saw Xiahouba's predicament, and brazenly besieged Lintao and Xiangwu, and also destroyed the fields in the territory.

The Quartet's emergency documents flew like snowflakes.

Guo Huai, who was stationed in Wudu, became more and more harsh, and even Xiahou Xuan of Chang'an wrote to inquire.

The situation in Longyou has always attracted the attention of many people.

Yang Zheng admonished again, "If the general hesitates again and delays the spring ploughing, the entire Longxi will be eroded." ”

This time, Li Mi also followed along with the advice, "The general is entrusted by the general, if he can't even calm down the chaos, won't it make others laugh?" ”

Yang Zheng naturally didn't dare to say this kind of thing.

After all the words, Xiahou Ba finally made up his mind, "Okay, if they are unkind, don't blame a certain injustice!" ”

Yang Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief, although there were many twists and turns, but he was still walking according to his expectations.

After that, Xiahou Ba divided the army into six, ranging from 300 to 1,000 each, and fought west and south into the Qiang realm.

Yang Zheng also had the opportunity to send troops.

After the Wuhu Rebellion, the suppression of the Central Plains Dynasty was lost, and the alien races in the border areas gradually grew.

Historically, the Western Qin, Tuyuhun, and Dangxiang all took the initiative to integrate with the local Qiang people.

Even the Tibetans, who fought against the Tang Dynasty, were formed by the migration of some Qiang people to the plateau and the integration of local tribes.

The Han and Wei dynasties dealt with the border areas well, suppressed, co-opted, and divided, and the tribes were quite obedient.

But when it came to Sima Jin, it was a huge watershed.

After the reunification of other people's families, there will be at least a few decades of peak.

As soon as the Sima family unified the country, there was the image of the death of the country, the large feudal vassals, the mass production of wealthy families, and the abolition of the tuntian system since the Han and Wei dynasties, allowing the gate valve to ban the land to enslave the population, and the tax on the surrounding alien races was increased to three times that of Cao Wei......

Yang Zheng looked at the great rivers and mountains, and couldn't help but slander for a while.

The so-called Qiang land is actually not barren.

In this era, from Qinghai to Shuxi, it was regarded as Qiang.

The water and grass are abundant, the products are abundant, and the livestock are everywhere.

In the Tang Dynasty, from the west of Anyuan Gate to the end of the Tang Realm 12,000 miles, Lu Yan looked at each other, mulberry and hemp were wild, and the world called the rich as Longyou.

The production level of the Qiang people is not as good as that of the Han people.

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Central Plains Dynasty has fallen into involution, continuous conquests, and many inland areas have been deserted, so naturally there is no spare energy to operate here.

The weather in late March is already warm in the wind.

The Qiang tribes are scattered among the grasslands, river valleys, mountains and rivers.

Iron hooves crushed their spring dreams.

waited for a winter, didn't wait for the spring breeze, waited for Yang Zheng's iron hooves.

Two hundred cavalrymen wielded ring-headed swords, blowing like a spring breeze through the small tribe in front of them.

Yang Zheng had seen the tragic situation in Caohan City at that time, and the ring-headed knife in his hand did not have the slightest mercy.

but everyone who stood was cut down.

The Iron Horse Long Knife is undoubtedly the most convincing.

Xiahou Ba repeatedly appeased, in exchange for the intensification of the thieves.

The tribe of a few thousand people surrendered in the blink of an eye.

Yang Zheng returned with prisoners and livestock.

Such scenes are played out one after another.

The lethality and destructive power of the Wei army is obviously above that of the Qiang people, burning, killing, plundering, and being ruthless.

Moreover, Xiahouba also promised that six points of the looted things would be returned to him and four points would be handed over.

Wei Jun was immediately enthusiastic.

From Longxi to Yinping and Jincheng, there are Wei troops "hunting" everywhere.

Some Hermes-Epitek in the dock fort also took the initiative.

To be able to gain a foothold in the northwest, of course, is not an honest farmer.

The south of Longxi is the west of the country, and there are knives and spears everywhere.

The enthusiasm of the Wubao in Jincheng County next door was also ignited.

The Qiang people were already scattered, each tribe was forcibly gathered, and they also had their own ghosts, and they were vulnerable in front of the regular Wei army.

The Qiang people soon couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to send someone to ask for the alliance.

Yang Zheng had just made a start, and the captured Qiang people were only 2,000, and there were not many livestock, so he naturally didn't want to stop.

The generals of Longxi also tasted the sweetness, and they all warned not to trust the Qiang people.

He can't fight when he wants to, and if he doesn't want to fight, he won't fight a word.

Xiahou Ba would not be stupid enough to stop at this time.

The Qiang people took the initiative to beg for mercy, which showed that the strategy worked.

However, the leaders of the Qiang people jointly wrote to Guo Huai, claiming that Xiahou Ba had brutalized the Qiang people.

Wudu immediately sent a messenger.

"The Qiang Yi people are known as the western barrier, if they are forced too much, they will vote for the Shu people, and they will forget the righteousness of the small profits, which is not a long-term plan, and it will damage the name of Xiahou......"

The letter was mild, but the threat was self-evident.

Guo Huai didn't believe the words of the Qiang people, but obviously didn't want Longxi to be so chaotic anymore.

Yang Zheng couldn't help but sigh, which also showed that Xiahouba's situation was not satisfactory, and he was controlled by others everywhere.

However, I still know the truth of accepting it when I see it.

really set off a Hanqiang war, and it is not so easy to end it.

Xiahou Ba said in a deep voice: "After today, all armies are not allowed to fight. ”
