Bai Huwen proposed to marry Liu Bei, and everyone was shocked when he said this.

Huang Quan shouted: "Bai Huwen, you are presumptuous, how can the prince marry at will?" ”

Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "Gongheng is a little restless, and the leaders are quiet." The heart of the leader of the White Tiger Wen is understood by this king, but Liu Chan, the son of this king, has been married for almost two years, and I am afraid that there is no way to marry Ling Ai. The leader's proposal may not come true! ”

Bai Huwen gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I don't have any other ideas when I propose this. I heard that the Xiongnu were attached to the Xiongnu, and the Han Emperor entered the fortress with Zhaojun, and the Han and Huns got married.

I just want to ask the king to marry the princess, but I can mention it to marry my daughter, which shows the loyalty and sincerity of my tribe! ”

Liu Bei said embarrassedly: "It's not that this king doesn't want to marry the leader, right, the main thing is that Liu Chan is already married, and he is the niece of this king, and the two children have been separated for so long, how can you say that you want to marry someone else, it's not easy to do this!" ”

As soon as the leaders heard Liu Bei say this, they naturally didn't want Bai Huwen to take advantage of it, and they persuaded Bai Huwen not to be whimsical. Bai Huwen panicked in his heart, this matter should not be impossible.

Huang Quan secretly poked Shi Jaw next to him, and Shi Jaw said: "The king forgives the sin, for the sake of the white tiger leader fighting with our Han army, transporting grain and grass for the army, dealing with the rebels, not avoiding hardships and dangers, and being injured in order to protect the prince himself."

For the sake of these merits, please don't care about the sin of the leader of the White Tiger Sect! "When a clear-eyed person sees that this is a plea, this is a show of merit.

Bai Huwen immediately said: "Your Majesty, my clan was originally called the largest tribe in Liangzhou, but this time, for the sake of the overall situation, in order to avoid being sent by Cao Jun to find that Liangzhou has changed, I obeyed the orders of Liu Changongzi.

When Yi Jian's prostitutes and concubines attacked our tribe, they kept it strictly secret, and pretended not to come back. Among all the tribes, my tribe has suffered the greatest loss, and the tribal warriors all complain that my leader will not save him when he sees death. These! ”

Speaking of this, Bai Huwen pointed to the crowd: "Who of you tribal leaders doesn't know, even if the leader of the war is killed and injured thousands of warriors, but your tribe is mostly in the territory of Jincheng, even if the damage is limited after all, it will not hurt the roots."

My Baihuwen tribe can be called a scattered population, and there are five or six injuries out of ten! Liu Bei pretended to bow his head and remained silent.

Zhang Fei said: "Your Majesty, according to what the leader of the White Tiger Wen said about refusal, it will be said that we are ungrateful!" ”

When the leaders heard Zhang Fei say this, they all said: "The king doesn't have to be embarrassed, the leader of Baihuwen said it casually, don't take it seriously!" ”

Liu Bei asked, "The third brother has the idea of having the best of both worlds!" ”

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Leader of Baihuwen, my son Zhang Bao is not as expensive as his son, but he still has a bit of status, what if the leader doesn't dislike marrying Xiao'er?" ”

Bai Huwen said: "How dare I dislike the general!" ”

Zhang Fei turned his head to Liu Bei and said, "What does the king think?" ”

Liu Bei said: "The two of you have no opinion, and this king is also happy to do this good thing!" ”

White Tiger thanked him, but the other leaders showed annoyance. As the marriage was finalized, the things that Liu Bei and the leaders talked about were decided.

The next night, Huang Quan introduced Bai Huwen to meet Liu Bei.

Bai Huwen greeted, Liu Bei stepped forward to help the White Tiger King and said: "Chief, please get up, yesterday's incident, this king is deeply uneasy in his heart, it was originally a good thing, but this king and Huang Thorn Shi can't mention it,

If we bring it up, the other leaders will feel unfair and cause chaos.

Second, it's not good for the leader, and it's not good to hate because of jealousy! ”

Bai Huwen hurriedly said: "Where is the king, it is my honor to marry the king!" ”

"Come and sit down!" Liu Bei stretched out his hand and continued: "Since the leader is married to this king, he will be a family in the future." ”

Bai Huwen immediately said: "Xie Wangshang, when I discussed with Huang Thorn Shi before, I said that there would be three thousand faces, but in fact, one thousand would be paid.

I went back and thought about it, but I still had 3,000 soldiers and horses, so as not to be seen and gossip! In addition, two horses were given to the king, 1,000 healthy horses, and 3,000 cattle and sheep as a dowry for his daughter.

The king is useful in the upper place despite the opening!! ”

Liu Bei smiled: "No, the leader is a straightforward person, how can this king let the leader suffer." The king of the other tribes was given one month's grain, and the king of the chief's tribe was given three months.

The leader will go back to select breeding sheep and cattle, and I will have people buy them and move them to Xiangping to raise. Just mentioned that the leader sent out 3,000 soldiers and horses, how good the people are, the more people there are, the more rewards.

When the spring of the next year begins, I will send all these cattle and sheep back in the name of meritorious service! ”

Bai Huwen thanked and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Bei asked again: "The leader has three thousand warriors, and two thousand are allocated to Ma Chao." The remaining 1,000 people are led by the chief, and they don't have to go to the front line in person to really fight, this king will tell Huang Quan to let them stay, the leader tribe needs them, and they can return to support.

Of course, if the leader is in trouble, our Han army will definitely help! ”

Bai Huwen was overjoyed and said: "The king is thoughtful, I listen to the king." ”

Liu Bei said: "There is one thing that the leader should pay attention to, this thousand men and horses are very important, they are usually under the command of Huang Thorn Shi, once they act privately." That's going to lose your head, and if you have something, you must discuss it with Huang Thorn Shi first! ”

Bai Huwen said: "I understand, I will discuss with Huang Thorn Shi who to send to lead me!" ”

Liu Bei nodded and said: "The leader is reasonable, and the king is very happy, and the reward of the big war will be given to the leader more, and the land given by the king will be more than that of other tribes."

When the leader marries the king, remember not to bully others, and what he does should be conducive to the peace of the Han and Qiang, and not to act recklessly. Otherwise, this king will not be able to help the leader! ”

Bai Huwen promised: "Don't worry, the king doesn't want our Qiang people to cause trouble, if we all act like the king, why should we rebel."

Your Majesty, this rebellion is also unbearable for our Qiang people, with the dead and wounded of the warring troops, the scattered population, and the death of livestock. Many times it was the Han people who lured us into trouble, such as Han Sui, Ma Teng, and Bian Zhang.

Our Qiang people are different from the Xiongnu, we are on the road to the Western Regions, close to the Han people, trade with each other, even in the event of a disaster can still be supported.

The key is the officials of the Han Dynasty, they want endlessly, and we have no way to live if they want, so what else is there to say. are all like Huang Thorn Shi, Shi Taishou, and Su Taishou, they are reasonable, and it is best to be at peace with each other! ”

Liu Bei said with a smile: "What the leader said is also something for this king. This matter of Liangzhou hopes that the leader will help Huang Thorn Shi a lot! The matter of marriage will be discussed with the third brother of this king and Huang Thorn Shi tomorrow! ”

Ten days later, Zhang Bao and the daughter of Baihuwen married in their tribe according to the customs of the Qiang people.

Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and other tribal leaders all came to participate, Zhang Fei drank wine in the Qiang tribe, and beat twenty well-known warriors of the Qiang tribe in a row with the strength of wine, so that the leaders greatly admired Zhang Fei.

Liu Bei discussed with Baihuwen, but the Qiang girl didn't know the etiquette of the Han family, and it was not easy to adapt to it when she suddenly brought it back to Yizhou, so she stayed in Guzang City for the time being, and sent people to teach etiquette, language, clothing, food, etc.

Liu Bei ordered Zhang Bao to follow Ma Chao to train the Qiang cavalry, and Liu Bei said to Zhang Bao: "Dingguo, Ma Chao's equestrian skills and cavalry tactics are very good, but you can't let Ma Chao take charge of the army."

You must learn Ma Chao's skills well, establish the prestige and status of the Qiang people, and take on heavy responsibilities in the future, leading the troops alone, and never slack off! ”

Zhang Bao assured Liu Bei that he would live up to his expectations. In addition to Zhang Bao, Cheng Ji, Gong Zhen, and Huang Hua were appointed as deputy generals to follow Ma Chao.

Liu Bei sat in Guzang, summoned the children of the Shu clan who were sent to serve in various counties and counties after training, and Liu Bei assessed everyone's knowledge, archery (archery and equestrian), and virtue.

Liu Bei promoted six outstanding county magistrates and seventeen county magistrates. In addition, seven captains were elected, and all ten lieutenants were sent to serve in the Ma Chaoqiang cavalry.

Liu Bei personally wrote a handwritten letter and sent someone to send it to Zhang Gong, Zhang Zuo's father and son, and Zhou Shenglie. Worship Zhang Gong as the Dunhuang Taishou, Zhang is the captain of the Western Regions, and Zhou Shenglie is the doctor of the Five Classics.

The three of them all resigned, and Liu Bei made a handwritten letter again, so that Chen Zhi protected Liu Chan and persuaded him personally, but Zhang's father and son and Zhou Shenglie couldn't shirk it, so they had to take office.

Liu Bei ordered the establishment of schools in the two cities of Guzang and Yuzhong, Zhou Shenglie taught in Guzang, and Liu Bei personally invited Su Ze to serve in Yuzhong.

Liu Bei personally issued a notice to recruit enlightened scholars in all counties and counties, and selected people with flexible thinking and quick responses to enroll.

Those who are enrolled in the school are exempted from forced labor, and those who are able are sent to the counties and counties as officials, and those who are inferior are sent to the townships as township officials in charge of education.

Su Ze and Zhou Shenglie promoted the virtuous and rejuvenated the religion, and changed the customs, which could greatly reduce the turmoil in Liangzhou.

Of course, the conditions for those who serve in the military are more advantageous, not only exempt from conscription, but also reduced from taxes.

Liu Bei gave great condolences to the dead in this battle, and rewarded those who made meritorious contributions.

Liu Bei divided 5,000 of the remaining 10,000 cavalry after the war into his command, and sent 3,000 cavalry to Zhao Yun's command.

The remaining 2,000 men were left to Huang Quan, and Huang Quan was instructed to build more cavalry. Huang Quan proposed to deal with the Qianghao forces and bring more people under the jurisdiction of counties and counties, so that taxes and soldiers could be increased, and Liu Bei adopted them.

Huang Quan immediately sent people to investigate Qianghao's forces with Wei Zhi, Xi Zhen, and Shi Jaw, and secretly bribed Qianghao's subordinates, because Qianghao was more or less connected with the Qiang people.

Instead, Huang Quan used the Qiang people to listen to the news, understand the situation of Qianghao, deploy to weaken Qianghao, and find out the population.

Liu Bei spent nearly forty days in Guzang dealing with large and small affairs, until Ma Liang arrived from Hanzhong and asked Liu Bei to return to Hanzhong as soon as possible.

Looking at Ma Liang, who was standing, Liu Bei asked, "What happened in Hanzhong!" ”

Ma Liang replied: "There is no change in Hanzhong, but Wang Shangjiu has been away from Chengdu for a long time, and this time he has been in Longyou for more than two months. There were rumors in Yizhou, and the war situation was unfavorable, which made Han Jia Taishou and Huang Yuan rebel. ”

Liu Bei said with a gloomy face: "Huang Yuan doesn't look like a person who will rebel, what's going on, how did he enter the army, whether he besieged Chengdu, or went south from Yue to occupy Nanzhong." ”

Ma Liang said: "No, Zhang Song and Yang Hong, the Taishou of Shu County, have begun to arrange to quell the rebellion. Yang Hong said

Huang Yuan has always had a fierce temperament, and he doesn't talk about kindness, and he knows that he won't succeed. He just wanted to go north along the river and inquire about the king's news, and if the king had any misfortune, he would go to the north to beg for his life? ”

Liu Bei scolded speechlessly for a while: "Huang Yuan and Zhang Song are not in harmony, I am afraid that Zhang Song will take advantage of the distance of this king to retaliate against him, but he is too guarded, just this little guts."

This king is not in Hanzhong for a few months, and he is afraid of becoming like this. Forget it, I would have liked to stay for another month! ”

Ma Liang arched his hand and said, "Kong Ming hopes that the king can go back." Wang Shangjiu is in Longyou and Liangzhou, too far away from Jingzhou, he can't take care of it! ”

Liu Bei stood up and said, "Okay, go back." Ji Chang happened to go to Ji County with this king to meet Shiyuan, and when the time comes, you will go to Jingzhou, and you will have something to do! "Maleonn commanded.

Liu Bei packed up and returned to Ji County. After Huang Quan left, Huang Quan began to conduct a comprehensive inventory of the population of Liangzhou, and for a time because the reported population did not match the population number investigated by Huang Quan, the Qianghao who were raided abounded, but without the foreign aid of the Qiang people, the resistance shown by the Qianghao was pale and powerless!
