When the army was about to be dispatched, the news of the Western Expedition came back.

originally thought that Wenyang would be able to fight a beautiful battle to destroy the country, but Zhi Zhiluo and Luo Rilu found out that the Qin army was killed, and they fled to Wusun Kingdom.

After half a year of expedition, the Qin army ran out of food and grass and could only return to Luntai.

The same was true of the Han army's attack on the Xiongnu back then, and the Xiongnu fled far away at every turn, pulling repeatedly.

This is also one of the advantages of nomads.

It is recorded in the historical records: migrating from water to grass, there is no city to live in the farmland, but each has its own land...... If you are young, you will shoot foxes and eat meat. Sly can bend the bow, and he is all armor. Its customs, wide with the field of hunting birds and beasts for a living, urgent people to learn to attack to invade, its nature is also ...... If you are good, you will advance, and if you are unfavorable, you will retreat, and you will not be ashamed to leave.

If you can beat it, you can fight, and if you can't beat it, you can run.

This is where the trouble of the grasslands lies.

Wen Yang took a petition for guilt.

The blame was not enough, and the 20,000 cavalry did not lose anything, and the city of conversion was recovered, and 3,000 young men and women were captured, and more than 10,000 livestock.

Yang Zheng ordered him to rest for half a month, and then rushed to Yanmen to assemble.

Yang Zheng did not count on the autumn harvest of the eighth year of manna, and there was no drop of water for more than two consecutive months, and a large area of crops dried up, and the harvest was less than one-third of last year.

However, there is no problem with drinking water for people and livestock.

The drought is also limited to Longyou and Guanzhong, as well as some areas of Hexi and Hetao, and Hehuang and Hanzhong have little impact.

Yang Zheng ordered the exemption of the land tax in the disaster-stricken areas, and built a new capital to provide relief through work, so that the people could not only eat, but also eat the livestock sent from Hetao and Hexi, and their mood was relatively stable.

Lu Zhi pacified Guanzhong and transferred supplies from all directions, Suo Jing organized the victims, and Ji Kang led a group of craftsmen and Qingying children to plan the city......

The three of them did their duty, and more than 200,000 people gathered in just over a month on Longshou Plateau.

And the number is still growing.

Guanzhong was quite peaceful, and Yang Zheng was relieved to lead the army to beg for food.

The soldiers went out of Beidi County and went to Henan.

At this time, Henan was still a treasure land with vast grass and grass, and the extravagant water (Wuding River) traversed the east and west, with lush vegetation and fertile land, and there were even several small lakes.

More than 100 years later, the Xiongnu descendant Helian Bobo's Tongwan City was built on this water.

Due to the drought, the water has become a trickle, and the lake has become a swamp with a large number of water birds.

The tents of the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Qianghu on both sides of the strait are like mushrooms.

"Damn, there is a big drought in Guanzhong, and their group of cubs are very happy!" Liu Heng took a sip, indignant.

His family has been the hardest hit by this year's drought.

More than 100 concubines and more than 40 babies, all of them were waiting to eat and drink with their mouths open, Xuntian had no harvest, and Liu Heng's little bit was a little stretched.

The Qianghu Xiongnu in the field of Henan are like leeks in the field, cutting stubble after stubble, as if endless.

The beggar department was gone, and the Tiefu department came again, but the Tiefu department was not cleaned up, and the Qiang people came out of nowhere......

This area is very vast, and it is certainly impossible for the Qin State to control every inch of land.

In the past, there was no major drought, and when they drilled into the mountains and hid in the soil, it was impossible for the five or six thousand Qin troops to find them.

Now that there is a great drought, they have to stick to the water source.

Yang Zheng looked at the tent and the cattle and sheep, feeling as happy as he was looking at the first bite of food he begged for, "What are you excited about?" You are a general now, you must pay attention to your appearance, don't lose the face of Daqin, come to people, go and appease them. ”

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.

"Command!"

The three eagle generals gave up, each leading more than a thousand horsemen, and outflanked them from three directions.

Every once in a while, pillars of black smoke rose from the riverside birds, followed by the sound of bitter cold.

Two scouts rushed over, "The king of enlightenment, they not only refused the king's appeasement, but also fought against each other......"

"So you burned people's tents?" Yang Zheng finished speaking for the scout.

The scout looked embarrassed.

Liu Heng laughed out loud, "It's worthy of being my Daqin's soldiers!" ”

Yang Zheng glanced at him, "Pang Qing took people up, don't let anyone go." ”

"Yui!" Pang Qing is much more stable.

However, before the horse was launched, the battle by the Wuding River was over.

The three eagles were like three wolf packs, tearing through the defenses of the Qianghu in an instant, dividing and surrounding, as if they were just hunting.

I can't beat it, I can't escape it, I can only kneel and beg for mercy.

For more than an hour, more than 3,000 accounts and nearly 10,000 livestock were put into the accounts and handed over to Pang Qing for disposal, some of which were placed in Beidi County and some in Wuwei.

Yang Zheng looked at the extravagant water that meandered on the grass like a jade belt, and if he wanted to completely master this land, it was necessary to build a reduced version of Tongwan City.

After resting for one day, replenishing water and feeding the horses, the next day we headed north.

Along the way, there is a sky of withered grass and a large swamp.

If it weren't for this drought, the abundance of water and grass here would have been conceivable.

It is no wonder that the Qianghu Huns have always been worried about the risk of being cut leeks, and they are unwilling to give up this land.

The Yellow River also became a small river, and the shallowest part of the horse's belly was submerged, and the army crossed it easily.

Yang Ji and Yang Huan waited for a long time, and had already prepared camps and grain and grass for the army.

"Meet the King!" The two fell to their knees.

Shuofang and Jiuyuan have been stable for so many years, and the two of them have made great contributions.

The destroyed walled city system at the end of the Han Dynasty was restored by the two, and the Jilu Village, Gaoque Village, Jiaohun City, Guangmu City, and Surrendered City at the western foot of Yinshan Mountain were restored one after another, and the Huanghun Duwei, Guangmu Duwei, and Qusou Duwei were set up to control the north and south of the Yellow River.

Therefore, the political achievements of Yang Ji and Yang Huan are often the first of the Qin State.

"The second is located here for six or seven years, so that the wasteland will be restored to fertile soil, and it will be a great contribution to Daqin and Huaxia!" Yang Zheng helped the two up.

The reason why the three counties of Yanmen, Taiyuan and Dingxiang can be as stable as Mount Tai in front of them is actually supported by the front and rear river loops.

"This minister is also within his own affairs, and he doesn't dare to say anything!" Yang Huan arched his hand.

Although the Hongnong Yang family is left and right, the children of the Yang family are indeed outstanding.

Yang Huan, Yang Jun, Yang Ji, and Yang Jue are all the choices of the moment.

"Gong is merit, it is done not spoken, you two have merit in guarding the frontier, if you have any wishes, you might as well say it."

With the city of Conversion as an outpost to the north, the geopolitical security of the Hetao region has been greatly improved.

The two of them have been here for many years, which is tantamount to exile, and it is time to compensate them.

Yang Huan is as steady as ever.

Fathers are frivolous, sons tend to be steady.

Yang Xiu is wild, Zhong Hui is frivolous, and the sons and adopted sons of the two are relatively stable.

Yang Ji wanted to speak and stopped.

This naturally can't escape Yang Zheng's "magic eye", "Wentong can be said bluntly." ”

Yang Ji arched his hand and said: "My subordinates have governed the border land for many years, but I have always wanted to fight for the king!" ”

"Good!" Yang Zheng agreed casually.

Yang Ji was originally a general and defected to Xiahouba.

After hanging others for so many years, it's time to give it a chance.

Besides, the Qin State was originally a rotational system, and it was not a good thing for generals and officials to be in one place for too long.

"Feng Yang Ji is the general of the crossbow, leading Shuo Fang and Jiuyuan two county soldiers to fight with Gu, and Feng Yang Ji is the history of Hezhou Thorn." Yang Zheng didn't forget Yang Huan.

"King Xie!"
