In June of the fourth year of the first peace, the war in the northern Xinjiang of Youzhou had entered a new stage.

Since the failure of the sneak attack in Wuzhong County, the rebellion of Zhang Ju, a native of Yuyang, has changed from attack to defense.

Zhang Chun was captured by Zhang Feisheng in Wuzhong County, and then after obtaining Liu Jian's consent, Xun Yu killed Zhang Chun with capital punishment in Youbeiping.

In this era, there is no systematic punishment of Ling Chi, but there is still a precedent for a thousand cuts.

But since the fall of Qin, the Han Dynasty has not been so tortured for many years, and even if there is, it is very rare.

Therefore, the fact that Zhang Chun was killed by a thousand knives immediately caused a huge turmoil in the counties of Youzhou.

In the past, among the Xun clan in Yingchuan, Xun Yu, who had the talent of Wang Zuozhi, also became the first cool official in northern Xinjiang because of this incident.

In the Han Dynasty, there were generally no good results, and the end was extremely miserable, but Xun Yu didn't care.

Because he saw something in Liu Jian's body that others did not have, for Liu Jian's sake, Xun Yu was willing to transform from Wang Zuo's person into a blade of King Zuo.

The belief in his heart has long been strengthened by Liu Jian, and he will never be confused.

And with the development of the iron ore mine in Wuzhong County, the original neutral Youzhou family began to fall to Xun Yu's side.

But now the reverse is reversed, and there is no benefit to be gained.

Because the first Hanmen to come over were funded by Xun Yu and Guan Yu during the most difficult period, the branch industries derived from Wuzhi Mining, except for the Hebei Business and Trade Association led by the Animal Husbandry Department, occupied the largest end, and the rest were these local Hanmen who took this opportunity to turn over and make huge profits.

As for those families who are late to the eye, even if they come to vote now, to put it bluntly, it is just "atonement for their sins", but if you want to share the benefits later, I'm sorry, I don't have your share.

In the future, when you have a long snack, you should think about who you should mix with yourself!

This is a means of redividing interests through war.

Of course, for these families who came over after realizing it, this is already a good ending.

At least better than some other families.

According to the discussion of Xun Yu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong, Huang Zhong and others, all the families that had funded Zhang Ju in Yuyang County should be eradicated through this war.

Doesn't one stay?

Yes, Xun Yu means that he doesn't stay!

Because the magistrates are not isolated now, their supporters are significantly greater than the rebels! Under such circumstances, there was no need for Xun Yu to spare his hands on those rebels.

Kill chickens and monkeys to set an example.

Those families who had rebelled with the Yuyang Zhang clan destroyed their property and their land......

Property confiscation!

The land is used to rent Yongtuo, tuntian!

The policies that have been implemented in Jizhou and Qingzhou must all be repeated in Youzhou, and the same can be missing!

Liu Jian and Xun Yu had already discussed, but it was not their goal to simply suppress the rebellion and take Youzhou into their hands.

If you want to occupy a state, then the most important resources of the state need to be in the hands of the pastoral government, and the power should be centralized and not leaked, and the pastoral office has enough power to coordinate all the resources of the local government, so that the upper and lower levels are consistent and the government decrees are accessible.

If you can't do that, then you might as well not want to do it.

With Tian Yu and Tian Chou's instigation between the Wuhuan leader Su Muyan and Nanlou, there was also chaos within Wuhuan.

Who are the Wuhuan people? Although their horsemen are fierce and good at fighting, their greatest weakness is that they are not righteous, and they will be tempted by financial gain.

Now Xun Yu has the support of the Hebei Commerce and Trade Association behind him, and the early return of Wuyuan Mining has gradually entered the pocket of the local pastoral office.

The entire Youzhou, no, it should be said that the financial budget of the Hebei Animal Husbandry Administration government headed by Liu Jian has increased significantly!

With money in hand, it is natural to have a lot of money to do things.

The root of war, in the final analysis, is still fighting resources and money!

The money was smashed into place, and the brothers also turned their faces.

For a tribal group like the Wuhuan people who have no faith, the betrayal is not complete, and the chips are generally not enough.

Qiu Liju fought against the Han army on the front line, but it was at this time that his old nest in Liaoxi Wuhuan was copied by Su Fuyan and Nanlou, and the base camp of the royal court was directly broken by the Wuhuan of the two counties.

Most of Qiu Liju's cronies were killed, and the soldiers and horses were scattered, leaving only his son Lou Ban, who fled to western Liaoning with his subordinate son Ban Dun under the protection of his servant Zi Bang Dun.

The news quickly spread to the front line, and after Qiu Liju knew the news, he didn't hold back a mouthful of old blood, and directly gushed out in public, falling to the ground unconscious.

As soon as the news of Qiu Liju's illness broke, the Han army immediately moved and did not give him the slightest respite.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Gongsun Zan and others, who had already gathered troops in Youzhou, divided their troops into three routes and went straight to the Chinese army camp in Qiu Liju!

In the past few months, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have organized a lot of elite cavalry in Youzhou, although they still need to be perfected in terms of tactics, but because of Youzhou's unique geographical environment and the innate quality of local knights, this cavalry has completed their unique tactics at the fastest speed, and they can all go into battle to kill the enemy.

Since the time of Emperor Xiaowu, the cavalry tactics of the two Han Dynasty have advanced by leaps and bounds, especially in the border counties such as Youzhou and Liangzhou, and Bingzhou, with the accumulation of experience in cavalry combat, the various tactics of the cavalry of the Han Dynasty have gradually developed and been extended, and at the same time, horse harnesses suitable for various tactics have also appeared, including stirrups and saddles.

Of course, the stirrups and saddles of this era are not the most perfect bilateral stirrups and Takahashi saddles, the perfect combination of Takahashi saddles and bilateral stirrups, pottery horses with bilateral stirrups were unearthed in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and bilateral stirrups were unearthed in the Sixteen Kingdoms period.

The saddle and stirrup at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty also had a certain high level of form for the current tactics, but they did not reach their peak, one is because of the development of technology, and the other is the material needed for stirrups and saddles In this era, they are also precious resources, especially the horseshoe needs a large amount of iron to build.

But in the Han Dynasty, what a precious resource was iron?

The iron tools used to make knives and blades on weekdays, as well as the armor used by the soldiers, are huge iron expenses.

The iron used by man is not yet complete, let alone horses.

The large-scale appearance of weapons and equipment must have its own background of the times, not only technology, but also closely related to resources and productivity.

But in this era, for the Hebei forces led by Liu Jian, this aspect of the problem has been solved.

In addition to graphite, Tangshan's minerals are also rich in various metals, including copper and iron, and the reserves of Tangshan's metal ore are quite sufficient for the people of Shenzhou in this era.

Moreover, Tangshan minerals is only a single mineral excavated by Liu Jian in Hebei, and in the future, with the expansion of Liu Jian's territory, the rich minerals in China will also be developed by Liu Jian one by one.

At that time, the Han Dynasty will stand on top of the world by exploiting natural resources in advance.

In fact, Liu Jian can now completely make bilateral stirrups and horseshoes, which were only popularized in the military in the Sixteen Kingdoms, in advance, so as to strengthen his own power.

But then I thought about it, or put it down for the time being.

The main reason is because Dong Zhuo is still in control of the imperial court, and at the same time, Liangzhou and Guanzhong are his big rear.

The warlord Mu Shou in the south could not compare with Liu Jian in terms of cavalry, but Dong Zhuo's cavalry resources were still above Liu Jian.

The advent of bilateral stirrups and horseshoes will definitely enhance the combat effectiveness of the Hebei cavalry, but Liu Jian feels that it will not be long before these uncomplicated techniques will be adopted by the Han court and the Xiliang army.

Once the Xiliang army and the Bingzhou cavalry were equipped with this thing......

So, now is not the time, let's talk about it later.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Gongsun Zan and others killed Qiu Liju's camp, taking advantage of the chaos in the rear of Qiu Liju, and broke through the crowd in one fell swoop.

And Qiu Liju was also in the midst of the war, and he was so angry that he vomited blood and died.

Qiu Liju's death represented the complete defeat of the coalition formed by Wuhuan and Zhang Ju in Liaoxi.

The rout of Wuhuan in western Liaoning made the trend of the Youzhou battlefield clear.

After this war, Liu Lian, Liu Wu, Liu Shang, Liu Zhu and others in the Liu clan of Zhuojun also followed Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to establish a lot of meritorious achievements.

The Liu family of Zhuojun as a whole has also completely changed from a big business and trade to a big military merit of the Han court, and many young heroes have stood out.

It is true that this was instructed by Liu Jian.

However, the reason why he wanted to let these young men in his clan enter the official career by quelling the chaos in Youzhou was not to use them to intervene in the civil strife in the Central Plains.

In the Central Plains Civil War, it was enough for Liu Jian and Liu Bei to quell the chaos, and the military generals of the Liu clan in Zhuojun County were more or less chaotic.

is still the same sentence, Liu's young son, the main role in the future is to take Youzhou as the center - external use!

After Qiu Liju died, Xun Yu did not intend to let go of Liaoxi Wuhuan.

As Wang Zuozhicai of the Yingchuan Xun clan, as a quick knife inserted by Liu Jian in Youzhou, Xun Yu either doesn't do it, or does it cleanly.

While he personally took power, arranging the mining of mines, and the rent and adjustment of the fields and fields, he began to send people to find Qiu Liju's subordinate Zi Dun.

Although Qiu Liju was defeated and vomited blood and died, in the strict sense, he did not die in the hands of the Han army, and even if he died in the hands of the Han army, he was to blame, and he had nothing to do with Zhang Ju, so the Han court was not sorry for him.

Therefore, Xun Yu is now thinking again, and he plans to temporarily unite with Badun.

In the eyes of the Han people, this is simply impossible, but Xun Yu is confident that he can do it in Liaoxi Wuhuan.

Why?

It's very simple, because the Wuhuan people do not have the culture of the Han Dynasty, and their nation does not have so many "loyalty, filial piety, righteousness", as long as they have money and interests, they will do anything.

Just look at the rules of the Wuhuan people.

Wuhuan people do not have a so-called clan surname, all people's surnames can be changed, and they are generally based on the name of Lord Wuhuan (the lord is the leader).

The surname is impermanent, and the surname is the name of the adult who is healthy.

Today, the boss of Wuhuan is called Zhang San, and your surname is three, and tomorrow the boss is called Zhao Si, and your surname is four, and the day after tomorrow someone will be called Wang Er Donkey, and you can only be surnamed Donkey.

How can a nation that does not have a family name as a foundation have a sense of righteous identity?

Wuhuan people,

When the father dies, the son may marry the stepmother,

If the brother dies, the younger brother can marry a widowed sister-in-law,

If the widowed sister-in-law's brother-in-law dies, the brother-in-law's son can marry his aunt.

If the uncle has no children, he will be reincarnated with other uncles......

stepmother, sister-in-law, aunt, aunt, and mother's friends...... In later generations, the plot of the island country that can attract the majority of netizens, Wuhuan people have all of them.

Based on this, Xun Yu felt that as long as the price he gave was enough, it would not be a problem at all if he wanted to unite with Qiu Liju's subordinate Zi Badun.

In fact, Xun Yu did it.

Jian Yong, as Xun Yu's messenger, went to see Qiu Liju's brave nephew Badun.

The process is very simple, Jian Yong probably expressed what he meant to Bang Dun - Qiu Liju's matter is a pity for the Han Dynasty, but this is the Han Dynasty who took the initiative to attack by himself, we are just a passive defense, and he was angry with Su Fuyan and Nanlou, and it has nothing to do with the Han Dynasty.

Now that Qiu Liju is dead, his son Lou Ban is too young to take on big things, but the Han Dynasty thinks that you have the ability to be the leader of the Wuhuan tribes, and you can even be the king! Liaoxi, Liaodong, Shanggu and other places...... The leader of the Wuhuan Three Kings is none other than you!

Badun hesitated.

But I don't have any money, I don't have any rations.

Jian Yong encouraged him:

There is no money, no weapons, no food, the Han court subsidizes you, as long as you promise to become the leader of the Wuhuan of each county, you will submit to the Han Dynasty forever, then there will be no problem! Besides, the Han Dynasty originally had to dock with so many Wuhuan leaders, how troublesome it was, it was better to dock with just you.

In the future, if you become the leader of the Wuhuan Three Kings, all the people in Wuhuan will be up to you, and the Han Dynasty will pay money and grain to help you raise troops every year, as long as you send troops to help the Han Dynasty fight at a critical moment! And after you become the king of the Wuhuan Department, your beautiful stepmother, aunt, sister-in-law, brother and sister, and aunt will be yours! Aren't you tempted?

After listening to Jian Yong's gushing narration, he immediately said:

Okay, listen to you, just rush to your last few words, Lao Tzu did it!

Just after paying for the instigation of Nanlou and Su Fuyan to harm Qiu Liju, and Badun was pulled into the water by Xun Yu and Jian Yong, the brave young man Badun organized Liaoxi Wuhuan and frantically counterattacked Nanlou and Su Servyan!

A civil war in Wuhuan reached its climax.

The Wuhuan people in various counties fought with their stepmothers for money and food, and Xun Yu took advantage of this moment to turn his attention to Zhang Ju.

At this time, though, an unexpected figure appears.

That is Han Fu, the assassin of Youzhou, who led his soldiers and horses back to Hebei.

As the assassin of Youzhou, the first thing Han Fu did when he returned to Youzhou was to organize local heroes to attack the traitor Zhang Ju in order to establish his prestige.

After Xun Yu learned that Han Fu had returned, he immediately stopped all attacks on Zhang Ju.

He allowed Han Fu to jump left and right in Youzhou, and at the same time wrote letters to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Gongsun Zan and others, telling them that no one should make a move against Zhang.

He wants to see what tricks Han Fu can play against Zhang Ju.

Perhaps, it is not unknown to get rid of Han Fu with Zhang Ju's hand.

But what surprised Xun Yu was that Han Fu and Zhang Ju confronted each other, and they turned out to be chess opponents and good talents.

Han Fu not only did not let Zhang Ju defeat him, but he had contacts with him and did not fall behind.

Xun Yu and Han Fu are from the same county, and they know a little about this person.

With Han Fu's ability...... It stands to reason that it should be the master who was killed by Zhang Ju in one round, why was he so powerful before suddenly?

Think about it carefully, Dong Zhuo was the first to make a move on Han Fu in the Central Plains, but he didn't take Han Fu, but he also suffered a small loss in the hands of Han Fu, although Dong Zhuo also found the field later, but this is definitely not the performance that Han Fu should have.

So, Xun Yu decisively sent someone to inquire about the situation in Han Fu's army......

The Youzhou Thorn History Department commanded by Han Fu was nothing else special, but when he first became the Youzhou Thorn History, he invited a big man from Xiping County, Liangzhou, to join him.

This person is called Lu Yi, is a big surname in Xiping County, Liangzhou, his people live in Liangzhou all the year round, proficient in mastering the Qiang people's tactics, his private soldiers are elite, good at bow and crossbow formations, it is because of his joining, so that Han Fu can survive to this day.

After knowing the news, Xun Yu made a decision at that time and asked Jian Yong to go again in secret.

A tycoon from a border county who was born in Xiping County, Liangzhou and has been with Qiang Hu all the year round, Xun Yu didn't believe that he would be loyal to a cowardly person like Han Fu.

There must be interests involved.

As long as there is enough price, Xun Yu has the confidence to let this Liangzhou tycoon turn his head to his side.
