Since we can't fight, the next step is to talk.

Guo Huai sent his eldest son, Guo Tong, to supervise the matter.

The Qiang, Di, Jia, Bayi and other tribes came to Didao City one after another, dressed differently, and some tribes still had tattoos on their necks and faces, which were quite strong.

All the chiefs gathered together, humble and cautious, like wild dogs wagging their tails and begging for mercy.

The ancients often said that Yi Di was afraid of power but not virtue, and it was true.

If they hadn't hurt them first, they wouldn't have been so submissive.

The so-called alliance is actually an armistice agreement.

The righteousness and military superiority are all in the Wei army, and this kind of alliance naturally has the advantage.

"Xingyun can give advice to someone." Xiahou Ba warmly invited.

However, Yang Zheng saw that Li Mi's face next to him was not very good-looking, so he politely refused.

Once steals the limelight from others, others may not care, but two or three times, no matter how generous people are, there will inevitably be estrangement in their hearts.

Sima is in charge of all kinds of military affairs, and his grade is much higher than himself, and those who can sit in this position are all children of the noble family, Yang Zheng does not dare to offend, "There are only two hundred people in the city of Caohan, and the subordinates have been away for many days. ”

Xiahou Ba didn't hear the refusal in his words, "It's just a small city, this time to calm the thief chaos, Xingyun should be the first to take the lead." ”

Next to him, Li Mi and He Hui and other generals looked unnatural.

If there was no conflict of interest before, there is now.

Yang Zheng smiled bitterly in his heart, Xiahou Ba has a bold personality and a noble birth, so he naturally will not appreciate the chicken and dog fragments from the bottom.

I have no foundation, and I am an outsider, and my relationship with Xiahouba is getting closer and closer, how can others have no ideas?

The human heart is separated by the belly, and human nature is also ever-changing.

"What the last general has, it all depends on the generals to go to the dangerous place, and the Zhuyi will bow down and obey the orders." Yang Zheng arched his hand to everyone.

"Although Caohan is a small city, it is located between Jincheng and Anding two counties, if there is a bad pool, the two counties are shaken, Yang Duwei is dedicated to national affairs, and he is really a model for my generation." Li Mi said with a smile.

Other generals followed suit.

Yang Zheng suddenly felt out of place, remembering that they drank together some time ago and had a harmonious relationship, but it changed in a blink of an eye.

Xiahou Ba also seemed to feel it, "Since the military affairs are in place, the general will not be retained." ”

Yang Zheng politely said goodbye to everyone one by one.

Out of Di Dao City, Yang Zheng felt relieved.

Mountains are talked about in any era, and there are small hills in the big mountains.

Looking at the two thousand captives following behind him, as well as the loot such as livestock, the mood was much better.

The captives were very conscious of the captives, and hurried away with their heads down, without making trouble or crying.

Many people were captured as a family, supporting each other along the way.

When they arrived in Caohan City, Yang Zheng immediately arranged a house for them and sent food.

The city has also been enriched a lot.

Yang Zheng selected dozens of nimble people from the four hundred horsemen, scattered the captives, and lived in the city, with every twenty people as a first-class person, a chief, and a chief for every five-class guard, and a security chief for every five guarantees, and a tun chief for every five guarantees.

The conditions are poor, and there is not enough manpower, so everything can only be simplified.

It is strictly forbidden to talk in tandem with each other.

In addition, Yang Zheng also set up soldiers to patrol the city, rotating day and night.

Even he himself was among the soldiers patrolling the city.

In the first day or two, the Han people in the city were a little unaccustomed to it, and the captives were even more unaccustomed to it.

But after Yang Zheng personally distributed food to them, the hearts of the captives gradually settled down.

Life in Qiang may not be very good.

The tribes often kill each other and plunder each other, and it is not easy to eat a full meal.

Hunger, cold, and plunder are the eternal themes of this age.

The vast majority of the Qiang people, like weeds on the grassland, rise and fall with the wind.

Under the huge pressure of survival, there is no people, clan consciousness and blood consciousness at all.

Successive dynasties have been constantly integrating with the surrounding ethnic groups.

During the Shang Dynasty, Huainan was all Dongyi.

During the Zhou Dynasty, the state of Chu called itself a barbarian.

The Qin State continued to integrate Xirong and Yiqu before it gradually became stronger, and now the Longyou Lands are all barbarian lands laid down by the Qin State back then.

The Han Dynasty also integrated the Xiongnu, Baiyue and other ethnic groups.

And the Tang Dynasty took a bigger step.

Standing in the perspective of a traveler looking up at the vast river of history, isn't the history of China a history of integration?

Of course, the rhythm of this fusion must be mastered by the Central Plains Empire.

Instead of being fused by others like Jin and Song.

Sima's Jin Dynasty just didn't deal with this kind of integration, which led to the three hundred years of chaos when the sky collapsed and the earth cracked.

After more than ten days, there was a gradual division among the captives, and some people who knew Chinese took the initiative to cooperate and obey the management.

Yang Zheng promoted them to deputy captains.

After the spring ploughing began, everyone in Caohan City went into battle, and the fertile fields on both sides of the Lishui River were all busy.

When the captives are engaged in their labors, they are no longer in fear.

Yang Zheng didn't treat them harshly, except that he didn't have a salary, and he was in charge of food and housing.

Unless there are special circumstances, it is strictly forbidden to beat and scold the prisoners at will.

When the captives were sick, Yang Zheng also provided them with medicinal materials and necessary treatment.

They really didn't know how to farm, so they were allowed to graze under the supervision of the cavalry.

The mountains in the north of the city are like gathering, covering half of the wind and snow, the south is covered with green grass, the river is like a jade belt flowing through the verdant banks, the fat fish jumps out of the water, wild sheep, wild horses and wild deer can be seen everywhere, and there is often a line of egrets obliquely up to the blue sky.

Everything remains original in its original aesthetic.

Far away from the chaos of the Central Plains, it can be regarded as a paradise in Yang Zheng's mind.

When the seed is planted, hope grows in the hearts of people.

The captives gradually adapted to this life.

Yang Zheng treated everyone equally, and let their children practice martial arts together with reading, calligraphy, and martial arts.

The city finally has a glimmer of life.

Dozens of widows in the city also grew in their bellies.

As long as it is a concubine, Yang Zheng is also willing to turn a blind eye.

However, these merry widows, who could not figure out whose child belonged to their wombs, ran to the camp and cried and scolded.

Yang Zheng smiled bitterly and promised that as long as the child was born, the military government would be responsible for raising it.

After the spring ploughing, Xiahou Ba sent people to send six hundred young people from Di Dao City, all of them were strong, and they were obviously selected.

The people are a branch of Bayi, and they are deeply sinicized.

The generals of Shu Wang Ping and Jufu were both from the people.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the people were the excellent source of soldiers of the imperial court, and the soldiers enjoyed the preferential treatment of tax reductions and exemptions, and used Changge and wooden shields as weapons, and were brave and brave, called "divine soldiers", and were very good at mountain warfare, and the imperial court called it Ban Yuman.

These people are definitely a relief for the current Yang Zheng.

A good leader is like this, you help him solve problems, and he knows it.

It will take some time for the Qiang captives to be converted into soldiers, and they are far from being obedient, and many of them do not speak Chinese, so communication is difficult.

"Meet the General!" A group of people knelt in front of Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng was overjoyed in his heart, and his face maintained majesty and calm, "You and I, in the future, we will share the blessings and happiness together." ”

Everyone got up one after another, and many of them had panicked looks on their faces about the unfamiliar environment.

It was clear that he was not a soldier before.

Yang Zheng's gratitude to Xiahouba increased a few points.

With a knife in your hand, you can truly feel at ease in this troubled world.
