Chapter Eighty-Six
Li Mi's disappearance still caused some waves.
The body was found in Nan'an.
Xiahou Ba immediately wrote to Xiahou Xuan.
The battle of Fengzhong saved some face for Xiahou Xuan, and the pattern of Yongliang changed slightly.
The person died in Nan'an, and Xiahou Xuan immediately asked Deng Ai, the Taishou of Nan'an, about the reason for the incident.
A person died in the barren mountains and mountains, who can tell what is going on?
Even if you know what's going on, you can only bury it in your heart.
Li Mi is a member of Cao Shuang's family, and it is impossible for Guo Huai to make a big fight for him.
As a new round of infighting between the DPRK and China unfolded, such a trivial matter in the northwest gradually disappeared......
One of the great duties of the Western Governor was to pacify the Qiang people, and another major duty was to reclaim the land.
Yang Zheng and Zhou Yu inspected the tuntian on both sides of the Lishui River.
Due to population limitations, the scale is actually not large, only more than 7,500 acres, and there are still many places that can be cultivated in the upper and lower reaches.
To the northwest, the water and grass on both sides of the Yellow River are more abundant, but they are still occupied by some Qianghu tribes.
The situation in Zaohan today is one of a lack of population, not a lack of land.
Yang Zheng previously captured more than 2,000 Qiang people, and in the battle of Fengzhong, he brought back more than 1,000 Qiang soldiers, plus the original Han people, Qiang Di and other tribes in the city, a total of only four or five thousand people.
There are not as many people as there is a university in later generations.
The only thing that makes Yang Zheng happy is that most of them are young and strong, and the vast majority of Yi people can basically communicate in Chinese.
Without population, there is no source of soldiers, and without a source of troops, there is no strength.
Yang Zheng's gaze turned to the Qianghu tribes scattered in Hexi.
The big ones were two or three thousand, and the small ones were six or seven hundred, either grazing or farming, but life was extremely hard, and they were often attacked by horse bandits.
Tribes often attack each other over trivial things.
If you go outside, you must first settle inside.
The meal should be eaten in one bite, and the road should be walked step by step.
Yang Zheng first led people to build water conservancy, dug a canal from the Lishui River, and completely transformed the southeast of Caohan City.
After the Qiang people learned that Tuntian was divided into four or six parts, their enthusiasm increased greatly.
Most of the Qiang people have an upright temperament, and as long as they have their trust, they can drive them at will.
As long as two meals a day are provided, the Qiang people will work hard.
Yang Zheng had to be glad that he had done those chiefs in the first place.
After completing the plan, he handed over the matter to Zhou Yu.
In addition to Qiangdi, there are also 12 Hanmin Forts, which occupy the best land along the Lishui.
After Zhao Aqi and Gongsun Fu checked their details, they found that these dock forts only have big surnames, and there are no big families and heroes, usually a dock fort is a village with the same surname, with Li, Zhang, Xu, Ma, and Wang five surnames in the majority.
The internal cohesion is extremely strong, although the number is small, but it is extremely fierce, a few months ago Qiang chaos, the thieves would rather attack the county than provoke them.
They sometimes fight with each other over water.
No less intense than a small war.
This land has provided many elite soldiers for the Qin and Han dynasties for hundreds of years.
If you are not in your place, you will not do anything.
In the past, Yang Zheng was a guest general, and he couldn't control them, but now he is within his duties.
Yang Zheng sent someone in the name of the western governor to invite the dock owners of the twelve dock forts to discuss matters in Caohan City.
In the past, when Li Mi was in charge of the Han Ling, he also beat their idea, but they didn't know it at all.
Of the twelve dock forts, three came, and five sent messengers, shirking various things and asking Yang Zheng for forgiveness.
There was no news from the remaining four families, and it was a fart to be summoned directly by Yang Zheng.
Thinking that it was not easy for Hermes-Epitek to be born from the same roots, it was not easy for Hermes-Epitek to be in the border areas, so everyone exchanged their feelings first, and then talked about other things with a friendly person.
In the current situation, there is no need to talk about it.
The Han people in Wubao are more vigorous than the Qiang tribe, and if you don't give some color to see, people may not treat Yang Zheng as a green onion.
Since the soft ones can't do it, you can only come to the hard ones.
The Qiang camp has been training for so long, it's time to pull it out and slip away.
Yang Zheng gathered the second battalion, and above the commander of the battalion, all of them were veterans of the Wuwei battalion.
Both the camp and the camp were enlarged, with 1,000 men each.
The Qiang battalion is mainly light cavalry, supplemented by spear foot soldiers, and the Qiang battalion is all sword and shield armor soldiers.
It is called Qiangying, but in fact, there are many Di people and Han people who are good at riding horses.
There are also Qiang strong men in the camp to supplement.
After seeing the benefits of the Shu army's bow and crossbow, Yang Zheng also wanted to make a crossbow army, but the crossbow machine is a high-tech thing for the current Caohan, and the maintenance and arrows are a lot of expenses, and the current Yang Zheng can't afford to play.
Two thousand people walked neatly in the autumn wilderness.
More than half of them had no armor.
Of the 1,000 sets of armor allocated by Xiahouba, more than 300 sets were damaged in the Battle of Fengzhong.
Xiahou Ba's subordinates suffered the heaviest casualties, and he himself was a little stretched, waiting for Chang'an's transfer.
Yang Zheng could only replace him with black clothes.
Under the restraint of the veterans of the Wuwei battalion, this army also has a bit of momentum.
Spear and shield, horizontal knife immediately.
Most of the soldiers have seen the blood, the fierceness of the Qiang people, the fierceness of the people, and the bravery of the Han army, all gathered into the foundation of this army, as if a black cloud swept down.
Yang Zheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he finally had some family background.
There are many swords and spears on the dock fort, and the bows and crossbows are complete, and it looks like a great enemy.
Don't look at the dock fort is not big, the defense is extremely amazing, the city wall is towering, the corner tower is like teeth, like a turtle with teeth and claws.
Without large siege equipment, it would be difficult for 2,000 men to break through.
However, Yang Zheng didn't come to fight, but to intimidate.
With six hundred armor, he walked to the place of shooting, Yang Zheng pulled his throat and shouted: "Even the officials of the imperial court dare to meet each other with swords and soldiers, are you a citizen or a bandit?" ”
The new officials took office with three fires, and their confidence in speaking was different.
It felt like the whole Dock Fort was being trampled under your feet.
And the defenders on the dock fort cowered, as if they couldn't bear Yang Zheng's momentum.
A big husband can't be without power for a day, and that's the reason.
The name is justified and justified.
After a while, a strong man in armor stood on the city wall, looking at Yang Zheng with complicated eyes, "My Majiabao has always obeyed the decrees of the imperial court, why should Yang Duwei force people too much?" ”
"Obey the imperial decree?" Yang Zheng laughed twice, "Have you paid your taxes this year?" Have you served your duties this year? ”
The strong man's expression flinched obviously.
"Captain Pontus gives you one last chance, lay down your arms, everyone out of the city, I don't embarrass you."
The strong man was still hesitating.
Yang Zheng sneered: "If you don't open the city gate today, you will be a thief of Great Wei!" ”
To confront the country with a dock fort depends on whether they have the courage to do so.
After half a burnt incense, the door of the fort opened, and the people inside walked out one after another, looking terrified.
It took a bit of effort, but it worked well.
"Ma Duan has eyes but no beads, please forgive Yang Duwei." The strong man half-knelt in front of Yang Zheng, bowed his head, and didn't dare to face it.
Since it came out, it's a family.
The northwest is originally more Qiang and less Han, and it is best not to use a knife.
Yang Zheng helped him up and said warmly: "There is no need to do this, three days later, Cao Han will discuss the matter." ”
