In the Han Empire, this is the daily cultivation and basic practice of officials, no matter ancient or modern, it is inevitable.

Yang Chuan is naturally not exempt from vulgarity.

Originally, the post of Taishou of Longxi County has always been controlled by the Li family, or by their own people, or recommended by their relatives and friends, in short, to a large extent, because of its unique geographical location, Longxi County rejects the Di people in the north, the Yuqiang people in the west, and the southwest has to guard against some tribes in Sichuan and Shu to make trouble, so the imperial court basically turns a blind eye to this and lets it go.

In Yang Chuan's words, as long as the Li clan in Longxi does not seek rebellion, he will be the current 'king of the northwest'.

Emperor Gao Liu Bang left a will, saying that in this world, the surname Liu cannot be crowned king, and if there is, the world will attack it together.

But in Yang Chuan's heart, this sentence sounds domineering, but it is actually a meaningless nonsense.

.

This world is the world of the people of the world, this country is the country of the people of the world, you Liu Bang is worthy of being the founding emperor of the Han Empire, and you will seal the road of others with one sentence, and then, so that the people of your old Liu family can be the king and hegemon, and enjoy the world alone.

Yang Chuan stubbornly believes that this world needs a Han Empire that sweeps through the United States and reigns over the world, but it does not need a Han Dynasty that is exclusive to the old Liu family......

Therefore, Yang Chuan's first fire is not only to burn the ass and eggs of the Li family in Longxi, but at the same time, he also wants to try to burn the court and the ass of the old Liu family.

So, after a full meal and wine.

Yang Chuan made people carry out three boxes of golden 'Han Debt Coins', two large boxes of crystal clear, extremely warm mutton fat jade carvings, and made people bring out a pair of exquisite hard armor and several very powerful bows and crossbows, so that the warriors of the eight hundred white horses and Qiang people were greedy.

"These coins, jade, leather armor and bows and crossbows are all prepared for all warriors, Ben Hou originally thought that he would reward everyone in advance, but when he looked back, he felt that it was wrong."

"You are all warriors, and it is an insult to the warriors to be rewarded for your military merits."

Yang Chuan took a bowl of wine and walked slowly among the eight hundred warriors, smiling very amiable and respectable: "Therefore, these rewards will be stored here in Benhou first, just waiting for the warriors to fight bravely to kill the enemy, and exchange the left ears of those damned Qiang people and Di people for these treasures, is it feasible?" ”

Eight hundred White Horse Qiang warriors suddenly promised: "No! ”

Yang Chuan stopped, glanced around with blazing eyes, and directly began to order: "Eight hundred warriors obey the order, so they will make a detour to the south from here, and then take the road, no less than eight hundred miles; On this road, Ben Hou roughly estimated that there must be at least three or five hundred Qiang villages, right? ”

The Baimaqiang warriors led by him said: "Large and small, no less than five hundred stockades. ”

Yang Chuan nodded, and said with a warm smile: "How many men, how many old people, how many children and women are in these villages?" ”

The warrior said, "The larger stockades generally have 300 to 500 people, and the smaller ones range from 70 to 80 to 1 or 200. ”

Yang Chuan: "It seems that there are quite a lot of people?" ”

The warrior grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "Soon there will be no more." ”

Yang Chuan slowly drank the wine in the bowl, and said casually: "I heard that the men of the Qiang people are very powerful, you have to be careful, but don't capsize the boat in the gutter, and the loss of a few warriors will outweigh the loss; As for women and children, they were a great deal of money, and I heard that some people bought them for a great price. ”

"Of course, Ben Hou doesn't want those women and children to starve to death like this, and he can also take out some money and food to compensate for one or two, after all, it is a fresh life."

The warrior was stunned for several breaths, and suddenly his face showed ecstasy, and he bowed his head: "Thank you Changning Hou for your advice!" ”

Yang Chuan waved his hand and walked to his seat: "Thank you, you should be paid accordingly for your labor, Ben Hou is just talking casually." ”

"Just talk about it......"

……

In the next two months, a game disguised as 'dog takes a mouse' is officially staged.

Eight hundred Baima Qiang people disguised themselves as 'Qiang scum', burned, killed and looted on the way to Lintao Road, and did all kinds of evil, and in just over a month, almost all the men of the Qiang tribe within hundreds of miles died.

As for women and children, they would often encounter the 'bandit army' of the imperial court on the way to escort them, and they would be taken from the hands of the 'bandits', some of them were placed on the spot, and many more were taken to the road by the Yulin army.

Didao, also known as Lintao.

At present, the Longxi County of the Han Empire is in Lintao, although it is not exactly the same as the 'Lintao County' in later generations, but it is not far away, and it is finally a good place with mountains and rivers.

Those Qiang women and children who were 'rescued' by the Yulin Army ate well and slept peacefully every day, except for following the army slowly forward dozens of miles of rugged mountain roads every day, they didn't suffer any sin, and they were naturally full of gratitude, and regarded Yang Chuan and his party as gods who saved the suffering.

In this regard, Yang Chuan is quite satisfied.

That's right.

This person lives in the world, and what can move others is often not your kindness, but your actions.

The Yulin Army was 'saved' by the hands of the 800 old killers who had been dressed up in disguise, gave them food, gave them drink, and vacated a special tent for them to live in.

The small means of buying people's hearts is just a basic exercise.

Huo Quzhi, Cao Xiang, Zhang Tang, Sima Qian, Dongfang Shuo and others were already stunned, and looked at Yang Chuan one by one, all with a hint of undetectable vigilance.

There's no way, the current Changning Hou is too yin.

It's too ruthless.

Just by making a detour around the wrong place, they swept away the Qiang people's villages for hundreds of miles along the way, killed almost all the men with knives, and plundered their women and children.

Simply that!

"Yang Chuan, what is the name of your vicious move?"

Approaching the territory of Lintao County, Sima Qian, who remained silent all the way and didn't have much sense of existence, finally couldn't help but ask: "Judging from the technique, it seems to be a bit of a wolf-gobbling tiger?" ”

Yang Chuan sat on horseback, looked at a large number of Qiang women and children in Wuyang, felt their grateful eyes, and said indifferently: "There are no moves, it's just to buy people's hearts." ”

Sima Qian sighed: "Along the way, the left ear of the Qiang people alone has burned no less than three or five thousand, and if they take away their women and children, I am afraid that one or two thousand Qiang people will be cut off by the roots, right?" ”

Yang Chuan tilted his head: "What's the matter, Sima Gong has compassion?" ”

Sima Qian nodded, and said quietly: "Compassion, everyone has ......"

Without waiting for Sima Qian's nonsense to finish, Yang Chuan waved his hand and said, "No, you have compassion, not everyone has it." ”

There were some things he didn't bother to say.

I think that when he was a slave to the Qiang people, he had never seen what kindness was, what compassion was; In particular, those tribal leaders, priests, and Qiang men often took pleasure in torturing and killing slaves, and they would resort to any kind of cruel methods, and they never frowned.

To be honest, Yang Chuan hated those people.

"Sima Qian, you have also seen this way, what kind of life these women and children live, even if they are cows, horses and animals, in the eyes of those tribal leaders and sacrifices, these women and children are nothing more than fish on the chopping board, slaughtered by others, but they still have to be respectful to those who are high, shrinking their hands and feet, the world, the greatest evil is nothing more than this."

Yang Chuanyao pointed to the Qiang women and children who followed the army, and said very coldly: "Benhou rescued them from those cannibalistic tribes, and when they arrived in Lintao, they were ordered to reclaim wasteland, grow grain and vegetables, raise cattle, sheep, livestock and pigs, and in less than three or five years, they will be a group of good people of our Han Dynasty, Sima Gong has an opinion?" ”

Sima Qian hesitated for a long time, but finally remained silent.

What Yang Chuan said, the reason is very simple.

What is the sin of these women and children? However, if they are not 'rescued' from their tribes and stockades, a steady stream of Qiang tribes will flourish, and they will become one of the greatest threats to the northwestern frontier of the Han Empire.

There is no doubt that Yang Chuan's approach is simple, crude and effective.

Before Sima Qian could figure out this joint, Yang Chuan's first fire burned.

On this day, the army finally arrived in Lintao County.

Looking at the small city rammed with loess from afar, as well as the dozens of lifeless flags fluttering at the head of the city, Huo Quzhi, Cao Xiang and others looked at each other.

"This is Lintao County?"

"The famous Longxi County, the place where it is governed, is so dilapidated, it is unbelievable."

“……”

Listening to everyone's discussions, Yang Chuan half-squinted, sat on the back of the horse and looked into the distance, searching for the memories of the past and present lives, more or less in a trance.

Here, it is Lintao.

The surrounding endless mountains, full of forests and ancient trees, a very wide river across the north and south, the clear and bright Tao River flows slowly, like a quiet woman's trouser belt, loose and loose with the wind, in the low and dilapidated city and scattered villages, it looks somewhat messy.

Compared with the next 2,000 years, the current climate of Lintao is warm and humid, with abundant rainfall, and the mountains, forests, grasslands and wildflowers are simply beautiful.

It's just that because of frequent wars, this great river and mountain looks extremely depressed.

"The household registration of the people under the rule of Longxi County is 53,964 households, 236,824 people, and in Lintao County alone, it is only 30,000 people."

Yang Chuan served as a big peasant commander of the imperial court, and he was naturally very familiar with the population and household registration of the prefectures and counties in the Han Empire, and he looked at the lonely city in the middle of a large wasteland, and sighed: "Now it seems that these numbers are probably mixed with water." ”

"Let's go, let's set up camp on the hillside over there."

"Go to the sick and let the three thousand Yulin orphans be divided into six large battalions, four of which are stationed within a radius of fifty miles outside the city, and two battalions of 1,000 people will be stationed in the city together."

"This city is too simple, cramped, and the place is too small, first clean the inside, sanitize it with quicklime, and then settle those Qiang women and children."

Yang Chuan is the Taishou of Longxi County, and the city in the governance office is like a big sheepfold, he does not want to enter the city at all, but has already planned to build a new Lintao City.

Therefore, he could only settle the Yulin Army and thousands of Qiang women and children first......

Huo Quai's order, the 3,000 Yulin army quickly dispersed and rushed to their respective predetermined locations, and the remaining 1,000 men and horses, under the leadership of several captains and generals, began to clean up this border city in disrepair for a long time, and remove the manure of cattle, sheep and livestock piled up in it.

Meanwhile.

Yang Chuan's 'infrastructure battalion' drawn from Shuofang County also arrived on time, and after a brief explanation, the more than 1,000 people began to cut wood, crush stones, and trim the ground, and began to build a new Lintao city on the edge of the Tao River seven or eight miles away from the original dilapidated city.

Yang Chuan and the others were busy for nearly an hour, and finally, a team of people and horses came in the dust, but they were the subordinate officials of Longxi County, about thirty or forty people, all of them looked full of smoke and dust, and seemed to have been in a hurry.

However, Yang Chuan only glanced at the war horse under their crotch, and he already knew it in his heart.

These people have good acting skills, but unfortunately they don't have much experience, or rather, they don't bother to hide too much, saying that they are coming more than a hundred miles on a fast horse, but there are not even some basic sweat beads on the war horse.

"I've seen the Marquis of Changning."

"I've seen Taishou-sama."

"The subordinate officials of Longxi County pay a visit to the prince."

When the group of subordinate officials saw Yang Chuan from afar, they quickly turned over and dismounted, and strode over and bowed to salute, with a look of panic on their faces: "The Marquis of Changning forgives the sins, I heard that there is a group of bandits rampant in the township, burning and slaughtering, and doing all kinds of evil. ”

A middle-aged man in armor and a pure black robe stepped forward, bowed down and said, "Prince, please enter the city and rest." ”

Yang Chuan asked with a smile: "Who are you?" ”

The middle-aged man was slightly stunned, and hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "The good sect knows that a certain Li Ji is the Taishou Mansion of Longxi County. ”

The Taishou of the Han Empire had great power, not only was he able to recruit rafters and form his own team, but once he was recalled to Beijing with outstanding political achievements, he was likely to rank among the three dukes.

Just by the word 'Jun', you can know the dignity of his identity.

When he was in Shuofang County, because Yang Chuan's prestige was not enough, his subordinate officials, including Sima Qian, rarely called him 'Fujun'.

It's different when you get to Longxi County.

Not to mention that Yang Chuan's title is extremely high, he is a Han Liehou who eats ten thousand households, and he is already one or two points more noble than Cao Xiang, the Marquis of Pingyang.

Therefore, there is no problem with the sentence 'Fujun'.

The question is, he just came all the way to Longxi County to take up his post, and before the official of Taishou has officially started, this guy named Li Ji calls himself 'Taishou Mansion Don't Drive', is this appropriate?

Yang Chuan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to help Li Ji straighten up: "Brother Li doesn't have to be formal, Benhou came to this Longxi County as a guard, and if he is sent by the emperor, he may be transferred to other places in a year and a half, and in the future, the business of Longxi County will have to rely on your lords." ”

Li Ji and the others hurriedly bowed down and said, "Don't dare." ”

Yang Chuan laughed and said, "Okay, okay, when we meet for the first time, Ben Hou didn't prepare anything valuable, I'm really embarrassed." ”

"That's good."

He paused and beckoned: "Who is that, Zhang Tang, you take someone to move a few boxes of gold coins, jade or something, and give you a meeting gift first......
