The Qiang people hid in the mountains, and the food they carried with them lasted only a few days.

It is still relatively cold here in Shu County, and there are very few prey active outside.

The Qiang must have been waiting for the right moment to attack the villages again.

Not only to rescue those who were caught, but also to snatch some food.

Some Qiang people went back to report to the leader and asked the leader to send more people.

Liu Zhang visited all the wounded people in the village and gave them a warm welcome.

"The situation in Zhengkou Village is much better than ours, there are still some Qiang people who have escaped, and we have only caught more than 50 people."

Zheng Xun wanted to tell Ba Duo that more than 500 Qiang people had been captured in their village.

But saying this would hurt the self-esteem of everyone in Tongshu Village, who worked so hard.

As a result, so few people were arrested, and many others were injured.

"How many people have been arrested in your village? Be honest. ”

Ba Duo felt that Zhenkou Village might arrest more Qiang people than in their village, so he only needed to go to the government and ask about it.

"Five hundred and five people were caught, and it's not our credit. It was he who defeated those Qiang people, and the Han army tied up the Qiang people. ”

Zheng Xun felt that a lot of the credit belonged to Liu Zhang, otherwise, many people in their village would be injured.

Ba Duo glanced at Liu Zhang, he was not injured, which means that his strength is very strong.

"You have defeated more than 500 Qiang people by yourself, you are simply a god."

Ba Duo thought that Zheng Xun didn't need to lie to him, the people sent by the imperial court were too powerful.

"He's not right, it's everyone's credit. Without their assistance, they would not have been able to catch so many Qiang people. ”

Liu Zhang is very modest, what he said is right, and the credit belongs to everyone.

Gongsun Du will truthfully report to the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court will reward these meritorious people.

"The Qiang people hid in the mountains and tried to find them. Either use more people to search the mountains, or let them come out of the mountains on their own. ”

Shu County is mountainous, and so many manpower and material resources are used to find it.

It's not cost-effective, so it's just left unchecked.

The threat posed to them by the Qiang people has not been eliminated, and villagers everywhere do not dare to go up to the mountains to cut firewood.

I don't dare to go to the grass to feed the pigs, cattle and sheep, this is not a matter after all.

"I have asked the Taishou to send troops to search the mountains and find those strongmen, so that you can live a stable life."

Liu Zhang did this, and the Taishou of Shu County mobilized the army of his county to search the mountains.

At the same time, the situation here was reported to the imperial court, and the Qiang rebellion was even more serious than more than three months ago.

This time there are more Qiang people than last time, and most of the local people are not afraid of the Qiang invasion.

They are used to this, and they are actively defending against intruders.

The situation of Shu County and the Eastern Counties is different, so the management policies are also different.

Some are adapted to local conditions, and the imperial court is allowed.

"Do you two clans want to cooperate, the enemy you are facing now is the Qiang people. Catch them all and minimize your losses as much as possible. ”

There are quite a few people in Shu County Ba and Shu, as long as the two tribes cooperate.

The Qiang people can also be found in a short time, they are too scattered and hiding in the mountains.

As long as they encounter them, the other party does not have much strength to resist.

"It's okay for our two villages to cooperate, but other Ba and Shu people may not cooperate."

Ba Duo knew that Liu Zhang's idea was good, but it was unrealistic.

Unless the patriarchs of the two clans agree to cooperate, they will cooperate with the government to search the mountains.

"I try to convince the chiefs of both clans that cooperation is in your common interest. Put aside grievances for a while and unite against the enemy. ”

Liu Zhang made a lot of sense, the common enemy they encountered now was the Qiang people who robbed them of their supplies.

"Ba Duo, take me to your patriarch."

"It's not me who strikes you, you want to see our patriarch. It will be difficult to convince him to let the two clans cooperate. ”

Ba Duo made Liu Zhang mentally prepared, and he might even be scolded by their patriarch.

"Our patriarch may not agree either, you don't do such a thankless thing."

Zheng Xun also persuaded Liu Zhang that he was really trying to ease the grievances between the two clans.

Ba Duo and Zheng Xun are grateful to him, if the two clans search the mountains separately.

It is possible that the chiefs of both clans would agree that some ideas would need to be flexible.

"It makes a lot of sense to hear you say that. The Ba tribe and the rat tribe are all dispatched, and you demarcate an area to search the mountains, without affecting each other. ”

Liu Zhang thought that this method was still feasible, and the government would also mobilize some people.

Let these Qiang people have nowhere to hide, and catch them all as soon as possible.

Due to the complex terrain and many ethnic groups on this side of Shu County, the population is not as concentrated as the eastern counties.

Most of the area is flat and easy to manage.

The local aborigines in Shu County are highly autonomous, and the government only maintains daily law and order.

This can reduce the cost of management, as long as these ethnic groups do not work against the imperial court.

The imperial court would also acquiesce in their actions, as it now devoted all its energy to fighting the Xiongnu.

"You don't have to go and tell our patriarch in person, let's go and say, you just wait for the news."

Ba Duo and Zheng Xun asked Liu Zhang to wait in Tongshu Village, and they would bring the news back.

After the two of them finished speaking, they prepared to leave the village and go to tell their patriarch Liu Zhang's thoughts.

The two tribes searched separately and captured the fleeing Qiang.

It can not only help the government stabilize local law and order, but also make a contribution.

The court will definitely reward it, and it will also be trusted by the court.

Shu County has a certain amount of indigenous self-control, and they also have to show it to the imperial court.

If there is an invasion by a foreign enemy, the natives of the county will resist the enemy with all their might.

Liu Zhang walked around the village and couldn't leave for the time being.

He was not very familiar with the local environment, and he still had to wait for Ba Duo and Zheng Xun to bring back news.

Liu Zhang came to Zhao Ci's side, where she was bandaging the wound on the arm of a middle-aged man.

His wound was a bit severe, and he was the most courageous in the fight with the Qiang.

This middle-aged man's name is Meng Pan, and he is the most capable person in Tongshu Village.

The last time I followed the village to Zhengkou Village to fight, Liu Zhang saw him.

Meng Ban is indeed very brave, he just doesn't like to talk much.

"This time has made you worry about it, Shu County is like this. There are a lot of things, and we are very measured. ”

Although the two clans fought many times, they did not make much of a fuss.

The two sides usually don't provoke each other, but last time it was because Zheng Nan beat the people in their village.

Of course, they can't swallow this breath, and this kind of thing happens occasionally.

For them, too, they were tempered, and both communities saw nothing wrong.

"If you are allowed to join the army for training, go to the north to fight the Huns. Do you dare? ”

Liu Zhang asked Meng Ban, of course he hoped that he would be braver.

"I've also heard that the Huns are very powerful, if you give me a chance. I hammered the Huns flat, not that I said big things. ”

Meng Pan is the best at using a sledgehammer, and as long as he uses force, he can smash the Xiongnu flat.

He also heard that the Xiongnu often raided the border of the Han Dynasty, and anyway, the Xiongnu could not hit the side of Shu County.

"I'm going to fight the rats, don't look at me fighting fiercely. I've been merciful every time, and I don't think we have much hatred. ”

Meng Pan looked at the hammer placed next to the wall, and Liu Zhang followed his gaze.

The handle of the hammer was more than a zhang long, and the handle was not very thick.

The hammer head is only the size of a pear, and it looks rough to watch.

"There are quite a lot of warriors in your village, if you can get the imperial court to reuse. As long as you go to fight the Huns, you will be able to make meritorious achievements and glorify your ancestors. ”

Liu Zhang felt that such talents could not be buried, these people were amazing.

It's better to let them do something meaningful, he is also waiting for a reply from the imperial court.

Let these people give full play to their strengths and contribute to the Han Dynasty.

"I also heard that Wei Qing has won a lot of battles, some people have been made marquis, and some people have become high-ranking officials."

Although Meng Pan is a rough person, he is not good at governing places.

But he is very good at fighting, and he thinks that fighting is similar to fighting.

As long as he receives military training, he can also make military achievements.

It's just that the imperial court and the government are not very worried about them, and only implement support and conscription every year.

I didn't recruit them into the army, and they didn't take it to heart.

"Can I try how much this hammer weighs?"

Liu Zhang wanted to ask for Meng Ban's consent, and he wanted to weigh the hammer.

"You can pick it up and try it, don't hurt yourself, it's very heavy."

Meng Pan agreed, don't look at the hammer is not very big, it is really heavy in your hand.

Liu Zhang walked to the wall, picked up the hammer, and shook it slightly in his hand.

It is estimated that there are more than 60 catties, and the weight of one catty in the Han Dynasty is half of that in the 22nd century.

"To tell you the truth, I can easily pick up a hammer of more than a hundred catties with one hand."

Meng Ban once tried, and he could pick up a hundred and fifty pounds of heavy objects with one hand.

Both hands can pick up a weight of nearly 300 catties. He usually uses these more than 60 pounds of hammer to defend himself.

The last time he went to Zhenkou Village to fight, he took a wooden hammer, which was lighter than this iron hammer.

He also didn't want to kill people in the course of the fight, and he didn't want to be retaliated against by the people of Zhengkou Village against their family.

Meng Pan stared at the hammer in Liu Zhang's hand, really worried that he would hit himself if he accidentally didn't hold the hammer.
