"Father, why did you agree with them to let the army disperse?" The teenager, who had been objecting just now, asked.

The middle-aged man didn't speak, got up and came to the center of the big tent and said lightly: "If you don't let them go back, what else can you do?" ”

"Don't let them go back, and continue to let each family requisition grain and grass to prevent the dry people from attacking?" The boy said.

"What if the cadres don't attack?"

"Then confront them!"

"Confrontation? Do you know how much grain and grass we still have? The middle-aged man turned to look at his son and said, "It's only enough for two months!" ”

"If the confrontation continues, everyone will starve to death in two months!"

"But, but those dry people"

"How can we compare with those dry men who occupy vast plains and have as much food as mountains? If we don't let the other cave masters return home, don't let the warriors go back to farming, and don't have to attack with dry people, we will all starve to death! ”

The middle-aged man said flatly: "You are very smart, but you have to look at things comprehensively, those cave owners and village owners have already obtained a lot of money, and they are no longer willing to fight!" You continue to force it, and the command makes everyone completely collapse! ”

"Father, what about after that? The dry people will not give up, and they will definitely come to attack us! ”

"It's very simple, wait for those people to be maimed, scared, killed! When they can't stand it anymore, they will naturally come to beg us! When the time comes, we will be able to fight with the cadres after integrating the nine holes and twenty-eight villages! After speaking, the middle-aged man turned around and left the big tent directly.

The southwestern barbarians soon began to scatter, and one by one the barbarians returned to their caves with rich booty.

In the camp of the Bazhong Cadre Army, Ma Heng was looking at the sand table in front of him, which he carefully sorted out according to the places he had passed in the last battle, and then added the previous information of the scouts and surrounding counties.

"General, according to the information we received, the Southwest Barbarians have withdrawn!" A general hurried over and said.

"Withdrawn?" Ma Heng looked up at the information, and then smiled: "These barbarians have no food!" ”

"Then why don't we attack now?" The general next to him said excitedly.

"No!" Ma Heng shook his head and said: "The three armies have just started training, and they have not yet fully adapted to this side of the water and soil. ”

Ma Heng has become very cautious after a failure, he only has one chance to turn over now, and he will never allow mistakes. Daqian has a deep heritage, and can be consumed with those barbarians, but those barbarians can't last long.

Next, Ma Heng continued to train the soldiers, and only after all the sick soldiers in the army had recovered did he begin to send troops to those southwestern barbarians. And Ma Heng's first time the number of troops was not large, more to familiarize the soldiers with the mountains and forests.

At the same time, Ma Heng searched for the local people, looked for the hunters among the people, and asked them to be guides.

The local people suffered heavy casualties because of the looting of the barbarians in the southwest, and everyone was eager to kill all those barbarians to avenge their relatives, so they immediately agreed to Ma Heng's invitation.

With the help of these hunters, the movement of the great cadres in the jungle was much easier. After rigorous training, Ma Heng began to attack the southwestern barbarians.

After several months of arduous training, the soldiers of the Great Cadres have barely adapted to fighting in the mountains and forests, although they are far inferior to those southwestern barbarians, but they are much stronger than the first time, and with the weapons and armor of the Great Cadres, the Great Cadres army can also fight back and forth with those southwestern barbarians in the mountains and forests.

In order to motivate the soldiers, Wang Che specially sent people to release the news that he was preparing to divide the peasant soldiers in the southern counties of Bazhong, and the morale of the Daqian army was high.

After the imperial court counted the land of several counties around Bazhong, it then specially ordered the Wang family to send fifty people to Bazhong. On the one hand, it is to investigate the climate around Bazhong and to study which crops are better to grow, and on the other hand, it is to divide the farms.

At the same time, because the climate in the southwest is very different from the Central Plains, there are many poisonous insects and miasma, and it is easy to get sick, so Wang Che sent people to find some ways to treat common diseases.

Because Bazhong was ruthlessly cleaned up by the imperial court, coupled with the war, the population loss was serious, and the imperial court wanted to immigrate here. It's just that because of the climate, a large number of immigrants to here are likely to cause a large number of people to be unaccustomed to the water and soil, sick, and one accidentally will suffer heavy casualties, so Wang Che recruited a large number of Wang sons from Luoyang.

After these Wang sons came to the southwest, they first conducted research on the diseases here and looked for treatments. The Wang family has paid attention to medical skills since the time of Zijue, and has been making progress for hundreds of years, so many people in the Wang family are proficient in medical skills, and they can be called miracle doctors.

After these people have been studied, it is not difficult to find a cure. At the same time, some of the Wang's sons began to count the acres of fields in the southwest, and at the same time selected different plants to cultivate here.

Depending on the climate, the timing of planting is adjusted.

Because of the loss of a large number of people, there are large tracts of land in the counties of Bazhong, and the Wang family began to divide the land, and the farms here are not randomly enclosed on a piece of land. You also need to look at the surrounding rivers, water sources, woods, and much more. Divide the land as fairly as possible.

In such a place where the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, if it weren't for the Wang family to divide the land, Wang Che would be very worried, and those people would mess around.

Therefore, he sent a large number of Wang sons to divide the manor, a manor in the south of Bazhong is 400 acres, of which 300 acres are farmland, then 10 acres of mulberry forest, 20 acres of grassland, and the rest can be used to grow fruits, raise cattle and sheep, war horses, or raise fish, etc.

In order for the peasants and soldiers to survive here for a long time, the imperial court can be described as struggling to do its best.

For such a manor, the imperial court prepared 2,000 of them. Two thousand peasant soldiers have taken root here, one peasant soldier and a few brother auxiliaries, as long as the system is successfully established, the barbarians in the southwest will not be able to make any waves.

A warrior who is skilled in bows and horses, has weapons and armor, and a few auxiliaries, can completely fight a dozen unarmored soldiers.

Such farmsteads produce more and better than the knights' estates of the European Middle Ages.

Although the southwestern barbarians plundered the state and county and broke the salt field, they did not break through the county seat. Their weapons are even worse than those of the Great Qian, if those southwestern barbarians dare to attack again, these peasant soldiers of the imperial court can easily defeat these people.

Because the well salt field was destroyed, the land of Bashu began to have a shortage of salt. Wang Che ordered the transportation of green salt from Hexi to Bashu, and at the same time ordered the Yancheng Salt Farm to transport salt to Bashu with the help of the Yangtze River waterway.

The well salt field also began to be repaired, when the barbarians destroyed the salt wells, and the imperial court now needed to dig salt wells as soon as possible to restore the salt supply of Bashu.
