The two looked at each other and smiled, the friendship between men is sometimes so wonderful that it doesn't need to be embellished with words.

The news that the meandering area was returned to the territory of the Han Dynasty and that Dangqiang was forcibly erased quickly spread throughout the world.

No one expected that the two Burning Qiang tribes inside and outside combined, known as millions of people, with 400,000 fierce soldiers, were defeated vigorously, like child's play.

When Long Linwei sent an urgent secret report to the capital with flying pigeons, Liu Zhi was teasing his daughter in the Hehuan Palace. Grabbing

The little guy is more than four months old, and he looks cute and cute, with a pair of black grape-like eyes full of aura, and he is no longer wrinkled when he was born.

Liu Zhi held her in his arms, and his daughter showed him a cute smile that was sweet and dead, which made him love it, so he didn't care about the bullshit rules and etiquette of a father who didn't hold a son.

He Liu Zhi's eldest princess is to be held in the palm of her hand and petted, so that she can be rich in the world.

"Your Majesty, Yang Zhonglang will ask to see you."

At this time? Could it be that something big has happened?

Liu Zhi immediately summoned him in the study, and when he saw Yang Jian's eyebrows beaming with joy, he knew that it must be good news.

"This is the Liangzhou Military Report, congratulations to Your Majesty, the Han Dynasty has added new land to the territory, and the river meander has been taken into the bag."

"So fast?"

Although there was no suspense about the outcome of this war in his opinion, Liu Zhi did not guess at all that he would win so quickly.

hurriedly unfolded the military newspaper and skimmed through it at a glance.

"Okay, great, announce the world immediately, I want the whole world to celebrate, hahaha......"

Deng Meng and the others couldn't help but be very surprised when they heard his hearty laughter, His Majesty was so happy about something.

But they didn't be curious for long, and soon, Liu Zhi walked out with a smile on his face, and lifted his daughter around in the air, making her giggle.

"You are really my little lucky star, the river meandering victory, the burning tribe is dead, hahaha......"

Everyone was surprised and delighted, and the surprise was that this battle came too fast, and it was so fast that people didn't have time to react.

The joy is that Liangzhou has won a great victory, and now the courtiers in the court who have always opposed the war can finally stop.

"Someone will immediately send an order to convene a court meeting tomorrow to discuss post-war matters." #21434#21437#32#36861#20070#30475#32#122#104#117#105#115#104#117#107#97#110#46#99#111#109#32#21434#21437

He wants to see if the ministers who are like mourning when they mention war will rush to be the first when they divide up the military merits. Chasing books and reading books

That night, the news of the great victory of the river meander spread like the wind to every corner of the capital, and the excited people hung red lanterns at the door, calling friends and beating gongs and drums to celebrate.

This is the only time in the past few decades that the Han Dynasty has expanded its territory, and it seems to remind people of the glorious glory of Emperor Wu back then.

A small family banquet was also held in the palace, and the Empress Dowager Yun entertained several Jingshi clans in Yong'an Palace.

Expanding the territory is not only the glory of the Han Dynasty, but also the glory of the Liu family.

Therefore, at any time, Liu Zhi is inseparable from the support of the Liu clan.

Just like this time, when he came to the city and forcibly started a war, many ministers dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and remained silent on the surface, but in fact they were full of complaints and passive slacking off behind their backs.

But many of the royal families are different, although most of them are not willing to fight, as long as Liu Zhi insists, they still express their support in action.

Therefore, after Liangzhou won the battle, Liu Zhi was the first to stand up and express his gratitude to these clans.

Suppressing by force is not a long-term solution after all, and can only be said to be a transitional move as a last resort.

If we do not reverse the ideological concepts of the great Han scholar class, we will not be able to truly implement the government decrees.

On the second day, the temporary court meeting, the main battle faction all raised their eyebrows and strode into the Pingcheng Gate.

Liu Zhi had the details of the good news read out in court, and the battle not only recovered the fertile land of the meander, but also captured a large number of cattle, sheep, horses, and property.

The Yaodang tribe killed a total of 170,000 people in the battle and captured 350,000 prisoners, all of whom were dispersed and sent to Liangzhou and the Western Regions to reclaim the famine.

The meandering area, which is beautiful and rich in water and grass, has now become a no-man's land.

"Your Majesty, the minister suggested that the displaced people from Jingzhou and Yangzhou should be moved to live in the meandering area, where the soil is fertile, and it is really a tyrannical thing to use to graze cattle and sheep, so it is more appropriate to change to grow grain."

It was the Hubu Shangshu who suggested it, in fact, when Liu Zhi decided to attack the river meander, he had this plan at the beginning.

The floods in the two states have left a large number of people homeless and making livelihoods a problem, and it takes time to rebuild their homes, and it will not take a year or two to recover.

At this time, they will migrate into the river meanders, firstly, to relieve the pressure on people's livelihood, and secondly, they will not oppose it in order to make a living.

As for the stolen cattle and sheep, Liu Zhi left some of them for the border as military rations, and the rest as rations for these immigrants.

But in order not to be noticeable, the number was directly underreported by half.

As for the gold, silver, jewelry and other property, except for some of the reward soldiers, the rest were sent to the capital by a fast horse, and it is estimated that they will arrive soon.

The horses were basically sent to the left to equip the new cavalry, and an oversized royal horse farm was established there.

The emperor has won the battle, and the conservatives have breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, and now he should stop for a while.

After this battle, the other Qiang tribes were silent, holding their tails and becoming people, for fear of becoming the emperor's next target.

With this merit of opening up the territory and expanding the territory, Liu Zhi can also go to the ancestral temple, and the history books will be written in the future.

But how did they know that Liu Zhi really didn't take a small meandering area in his eyes, and now he is ambitious, and quietly set his sights on Wuhuan again.

If you talk about the ethnic groups on the border of the Han Dynasty, except for the old rival Xiongnu, the Wuhuan tribe is the most difficult.

They are fierce and aggressive, and from time to time they will come to plunder, kill people and set fires and then roar away, relying on the dangers of Tongtian Mountain as a barrier, not worrying that Han Ting will break into his lair.

What's more, since Zhang Tan was roped down from Tongtian Mountain, the Wuhuan tribe has deployed defenders under the cliff to patrol day and night to prevent the Han army from sneaking attacks.

A few days ago, I heard that the Han was going to burn the tribe, and they also took the opportunity to extort a sum of money.

Grabbing. Not to mention, the wine sent by Dahan this time is as strong as fire, not as light and tasteless as the previous wine, mellow and fragrant, with an endless aftertaste, which makes people want to drown in it.

It's a pity that there are only dozens of jars, and there are no more after drinking, which makes people want to stop.

The leader of the Wuhuan Empire, Qiantai Bird, is a greedy and shameless man, and his greatest hobby in life is fine wine and beautiful people.

Most of the women in the tribe are sturdy and dark-skinned, and Qiantai Bird is tired of playing and feels bored, but the weak and slender women of the big man are more enchanting.

Every autumn, he would go to Bingzhou to rob randomly to get some beauties and wealth.

Because they are all cavalry, they are highly mobile, and they run away every time they rob, and it is difficult to carry out counterattacks, which makes the people and big families over there talk about tigers.

Since a hundred years ago, the big families in Bingzhou and Liangzhou began to build dock forts to store healthy servants suitable for war, and spontaneously resisted the Wuhuan robbery.

After all, every time those Hu people came suddenly without warning, and they couldn't even rush and run for an hour, the time was so short, the northern border was too long, the terrain was complicated, and the border army could not rescue in time.

Therefore, they could only acquiesce to those big families cultivating the dock fort and organizing the nearby people and their own slaves to arm themselves, so that the borders of various states became commonplace, and the people also left many hidden dangers.

淘戅戅。 #21434#21437#32#31508#19979#25991#23398#32#98#120#119#120#46#99#111#32#21434#21437#12290Hearing that the tribe was wiped out, Qiantai Bird had palpitations, and the Han was now powerful, no matter how greedy he was, he knew that he couldn't hit the cusp at this time.

But Liu Zhi didn't plan to let him go, and an edict went down, giving him hope again.

This edict was a ban on iron, strictly prohibiting the possession of iron weapons by the people, and prohibiting the accumulation of private armies to prevent rebellion.

Speaking of which, this order is aimed at the whole country, and in recent years there have been frequent famines, riots of all kinds.

So the ban was to prevent rebellion, which was supported by some of the courtiers, but fiercely opposed by others.

You must know that almost all the big families are the real power class, and this ban directly restricts their vital interests.

During the court discussion, there was a fierce debate on this matter, and the reason why Liu Zhi was able to implement it strongly was mainly because since Emperor Wu of the former Han Dynasty, the ban on iron was written into the Han law, and it was not the first initiative of Liu Zhi.

It was only later that with the prevalence of the Dock Fort, the ban on iron became a virtual reality, and the court also acquiesced in this behavior, which led to the proliferation of civilian weapons, and there were rebellions and armed fights from time to time.

Since holding the military power of the Han Dynasty firmly in his hands, Liu Zhi's style of action has become more and more tough, and in the past two months, with the impeachment chapter handed over by Wang Chang, the inspector of the imperial history, has carried out a major rectification of the state officials.

Since Wang Chang was appointed at the end of last year, he rushed to Qingzhou non-stop on the same day, and then inspected Xuzhou, Xuzhou, and Yanzhou, and did not even come back for the New Year.

Taking advantage of the banditry, Liu Zhi carried out a major purge of county-level officials in the four prefectures, but the situation at that time was complicated, so he temporarily suppressed most of the corruption evidence of county-level officials.

Not to mention state-level officials, who for a moment simply couldn't thoroughly investigate.

After the earth-shattering assassination of the governor Chen Fan in Yangzhou, Wang Chang immediately rushed to Jianghuai to assist him in governing the local officials, and the Shangshu Mansion also urgently dispatched officials from the Xing Ministry.

Liu Zhi made up his mind to govern the local tyrants, otherwise the Han Dynasty's government and land policy would not be able to be implemented at all.

Although he now has military power, he still does not have enough control over the local area, and so far he has not been able to force a new land policy.

We can only adopt an opportunistic approach, focusing on rectifying things wherever something happens, and coming one by one, so as not to cause an all-round backlash from the scholarly class.

There were many families in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there were not super families that could shake the imperial court as in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and they were not united and went their own way.

As long as it does not involve the fundamental interests of the entire class, no one will be willing to stand up for others, not to mention that every time Liu Zhi makes a big move, he is famous.

This time, he mainly targeted the border, in order to bait the Wuhuan tribe's Qiantai Bird.

So when it was implemented, except for the border between Merge State and Youzhou, the rest of the places were perfunctory.

With such a thunder and rain, the courtiers who had fiercely opposed it before saw that there was nothing wrong, isn't this still the same, it turns out that Your Majesty is just doing it.

Forget it, Your Majesty is capricious, let him make trouble if he likes to make trouble, as long as it doesn't involve his own interests and benefits, he can do whatever he wants.

It had only been three or four months, and they had gradually become accustomed to the emperor's willful and reckless behavior.

Now no matter what strange things Liu Zhi says or what amazing things he does, they will not be surprised.

Instead, he bargained with him calmly, and he could earn a point of benefit.

Liu Zhi also figured out their thoughts, always asking for a price, and when they were half cut off by the foam in their mouths, he reluctantly agreed.

In this way, they are still complacent, feeling that the emperor is not so difficult to deal with, as long as they fight with reason, the Son of Heaven will always give in.

Sure enough, everything in this world can be used to, and only interests are eternal.

The iron ban on the border between Bingzhou and Youzhou was the most strictly enforced, and the local big families were resolutely opposed at first.

It has even developed to the point of uniting, armed obstruction, joking, without weapons, they have become lambs to the slaughter, and those ferocious Wuhuan people will have nothing to resist when they come.

But the imperial court was very strict this time, and directly mobilized a large army to suppress it, and took a few of the most fierce jumpers to make an example of them.

In ancient times, information was not developed, and no one knew that this order was aimed at the locality, but only thought that it was the same in the whole world.

After arresting a group of people, they were also afraid, and the imperial court also promised to increase the number of troops to patrol the border, and also promised to negotiate with Wuhuan to ensure the safety of their lives and property as much as possible.

After a few strokes, one by one there was no leader, and gradually he was cowardly, even if the first hundred people in his heart were unwilling, but no one wanted to be this bird.

Since the ban on iron was issued in August, it has only been half a month before the weapons on the border between the two states have been collected.

When the Wuhuan leader Qiantai Bird heard the news, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh wildly.

"Hahaha...... The little emperor of Dahan is really stupid, and it is a joke that they still want to stop my horse with their little border army. ”

淘戅戅。 Grabbing. The border between Bingzhou and Youzhou is hundreds of miles long, and many of them have complex terrain and are difficult to defend.

And they know everything about the border, they come and go freely, they can find a way at will, and they can run away with a handful of fat, and there is no danger at all.

#21434#21437#32#22825#31809#23567#35828#32#116#105#97#110#108#97#105#120#115#119#46#99#111#109#32#21434#21437#12290 and other border troops will have already returned to Wuhuan.

Qiantai Bird is about to move, and wants to make a big deal before winter comes, anyway, when the time comes, he will be soft on the mouth with the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and then sign a truce to assist, and he will be fooled.

For decades, this capricious face-changing game, Wuhuan can be said to have played it perfectly, and it is very easy.

Seeing that it is the end of September, the long cold winter on the grassland is coming, and when the north wind is howling, even the knives are frozen, and it will be difficult to rob again.

Taking advantage of the beautiful wind and sunshine, the sky was high and the clouds were light, Qiantai Bird led two thousand elite subordinates and happily embarked on a journey to grab money.
