Hanhou

The Qiang people and Xianbei people fought real fire, and the sound of killing was loud for a while.

They are both born in the grasslands, and there is basically no difference in the way of fighting.The Qiang people occupy a favorable location, and there is a camp behind them. If they can't fight, they go back and move reinforcements.There are tens of thousands of Xianbei people. Even if there are not many men, women can still mount a horse and charge, and they are evenly matched with the Qiang people in numbers.

Yun Zhongqi watched from a hundred paces away, not intending to intervene at all.

People from all the fortresses and beacon towers came to check one after another. After all, this place is not far from the border county, and there was a sudden fight, so they had to find out what was going on.In case the Huns come to invade, the beacon must be ignited in time.It turned out that it was a barbarian who opened the film, so he just beat the horse and left, not interested in watching at all.

The fighting lasted from noon to evening.

It was dark, and thousands of corpses fell on the battlefield.

The Qiang people and the Xianbei people were a little bit overwhelmed.It's just that Yun Zhongqi is still watching, and he can't stop at all.To stop first is to admit defeat and to show weakness!

The Qiang people had already guessed the intention of the Xianbei people, so naturally it was impossible for them to pass easily.

Don't look at these Xianbei people, women and children make up the majority, but they have a lot of livestock, and it seems that they have a lot of gold and jade.If you give them all, you can get good treatment for these things.

When my own tribe came, they were basically poor and white, and were chased and killed by the Huns.To be able to have today's days, one depends on the tribal leaders and priests being shameless and desperately hugging the thigh of the Han Dynasty; the other depends on the tribal warriors who dare to fight and kill, and are recruited as auxiliary soldiers by Yunzhongqi.

The Wuhuan people are all focused on doing business, and their combat effectiveness is average, so there is nothing to worry about.

Xianbei people are different.They live in the hinterland of the grassland all the year round, they have a fierce temperament, they will grab food and livestock when there is not enough food and livestock, and they are so courageous that they rebelled with Ding Ling, which shows how effective they are in combat.

The Wuhuan people were stationed in Hu City, but the Qiang people didn't think much of it, so they joined forces to start a horse business.

The arrival of the Xianbei made the Qiang tribe feel threatened.

From the leader to the priest, to the tribal warriors, they all began to worry that their status would not be guaranteed.

I caught more than a dozen Xiongnu before, and I am looking forward to a few more regular soldiers.Now that the matter of the main death is uncertain, these Xianbei people have surrendered from the north, and the status of the auxiliary soldiers is threatened again.

Can this be tolerated?

Absolutely not!

It was indeed a misunderstanding when I first started.In the middle of the fight, the Qiang people came to their senses and simply made the mistake, determined to kill Xianbei's arrogance, at least to overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum.

It is impossible to kill tens of thousands of Xianbei people at once, even with the number of Qiang tribes.

However, after today's battle, they will let the Xianbei people understand that returning to the Han Dynasty must be done first.The position of the auxiliary soldiers belongs to the Qiang cavalry, if you dare to rob them, you must be careful to be knifed!

The Xianbei people couldn't guess all the thoughts of the Qiang people, but they could guess five or six points.

Since it's a show of strength, let's finish it in one go!

Qiang riding is amazing?

All the women and children got on their horses and charged with the warriors, and they could crush each other to death by virtue of their numbers!

The sky is getting dark, but the two sides still have no intention of stopping, and it seems that they will continue to fight at night.

When the Wuhuan people heard about the situation, they rode over quickly.Unexpectedly, instead of mediating, they joined the ranks of the Qiang people and fought with the Xianbei people.

Wei Yue looked at it for a while, feeling a little lost in interest.Hearing the sound of horseshoes behind him, looking back, it was Zhao Jia who led the pawns to come.

"Captain of the Ministry!" Zhao Jia stood up and clasped his fists as he got closer.

Wei Yue nodded, seeing Zhao Jia's puzzled face, she explained the matter clearly in a few words.

Listening to Wei Yue's narration, Zhao Jia's expression was very strange.

According to later generations, the Xianbei people brought money into the group, aroused public outrage, and were beaten by the Qiang people and Wuhuan people?

"Let them fight?" Zhao Jia whispered.

Wei Yue didn't give an answer immediately, and waited for hundreds more corpses on the battlefield before calling Wei Wu.

It's almost done, you can call a stop.There may not be much benefit in continuing to die or hurt.Only when the strength of the Hu ministries is balanced can the stability of the border be guaranteed.At least in the short term.

"Wei Wu."

Hearing the call, Wei Wu immediately rode forward and raised the horn to his lips.

The desolate sound of the horn echoed in the grassland, waking up the Hu Qi who were fighting in a group.

"The captain of the Ministry has ordered that Qiang cavalry and Wuhuan cavalry return to the camp, Xianbei retreats [-] steps, and the leader steps forward to answer!"

After the order was issued, the Qiang and Wuhuan people immediately put away their knives, took the corpses of the tribesmen who died in battle, saluted Wei Yue first, and then turned back to the camp.Although there were no spoils, but through the propaganda of the priest, the people of the tribe knew why the battle started, and cheered warmly for the returning warriors, saying that it should be like this!

Xianbei is amazing?

Is it amazing to have cattle, sheep, gold and jade?

If you want to get ahead in Bianjun, the most important thing is combat power!

Don't look at the Qiang tribe who were cowardly before and were chased out of the grassland by the Xiongnu. Now, they are the auxiliary soldiers of the Han cavalry. Following the victorious captain of the tribe, the Xiongnu camp is still rushing!

After the warriors returned, bonfires were lit in the camp and cattle and sheep were slaughtered. There was no depression after the battle at all, and it was a scene of celebration.

The Xianbei people went all the way south, and they were lucky to escape the Huns several times.Unexpectedly, when he was about to arrive in a border county of the Han Dynasty, he was jointly stabbed by the Qiang and Wuhuan people.

The people gathered the warriors who died in battle, followed Wei Yue's order to retreat, and set up tents temporarily.The leader and priest who led the team got off their horses, walked up to Wei Yue's horse with their legs, and performed tribal salutes.

There were only two leaders present, but there were as many as ten priests.

The reason is that Xianbei was at war with the Xiongnu. According to the plan of the old priest, most of the leaders and warriors fought fiercely in the grassland to buy time for the tribe to migrate.The priests organize the tribesmen to avoid surprise attacks on the way, and the tribe falls into chaos.

Although Xianbei was good at fighting, his strength was not as good as that of the Xiongnu.

According to what the old priest said, the warriors who participated in the battle could last as long as they could, and if they couldn't, Falcon would tell them the direction of the tribe, try to get out of the battlefield, and flee south together.

This kind of arrangement is very suspicious of misfortune.

But everything is for survival.

Xianbei will offer millions of cattle and sheep, a large amount of gold and jade, and inform the Han people of the route of Shan Yu's tent.In exchange, they hope to receive asylum.

What's more, even without the arrival of Xianbei, the Han Dynasty would still have to decide the outcome with the Huns.

There is no room for two eagles in the same sky, and no room for two packs of wolves in the same hunting ground.

The Xianbei people are not [-]% sure whether it is the Xiongnu who dominate the grassland or the Han Dynasty with a long history.In view of the reality, only by betting on the Han family can the whole family be preserved.

The Xianbei leaders and priests were respectful, and expressed their willingness to surrender to the Han Dynasty in non-fluent Chinese, offering cattle, sheep, gold and jade, fighting for the Han Dynasty, in exchange for the Han Dynasty's asylum.

Zhao Jia pondered for a moment, then said, "Third Young Master, with so many Xianbei going south, the battle on the grassland is definitely not small."

It seems that they have been quite successful in throwing the pot away.

Wei Yue nodded, summoned two flying cavalry, and ordered them to deliver a letter to Yunzhong City with their own tokens.At this time, the gate of the city has been closed, so you can't go in or out if you have to do something important.The surrender of tens of thousands of Xianbei is of great importance and must be reported to the county for decision.

The Xianbei people were not dissatisfied when they were told to camp on the spot and not to approach the border county without a call, and they responded repeatedly.It's a good sign if you haven't been chased away immediately.Keep working hard and you should be able to stay.

Qiangbu and Wuhuan's stabbing behavior can be reported in the future.The most important thing at present is to obtain the asylum of the Han Dynasty, so that they can nomad in the pastures near the border counties, so that the tribe can survive.

The Xianbei leader and the priest saluted repeatedly to express their gratitude to Wei Yue.

With the light of the torch, Zhao Jia carefully looked at the Xianbei people in front of the horse.

The appearance is indeed very different from the Han people, and also different from the Huns.The outline is darker, and the beard and hair are yellow.The eyeballs are green and blue, and there is a big beard around the face.He took off his fur hat, and tied the polished bones at the end of his hair.

Zhao Jia lost interest after looking at it for a second, knowing that the next thing will be arranged by the county, and he is not needed, so he bid farewell to Wei Yue immediately, and led the soldiers back to the barracks.

It was night, the lights in the fortress were brightly lit, and the number of patrolling troops doubled.

Seeing the lights in the distance, the Xianbei people didn't feel nervous at all, but felt a sense of security.After months of running around, it was rare to get a good night's sleep.

Since more than [-] Hu people had returned to the Hu, Wei Shang wrote a memorial overnight and sent people to Chang'an day and night.

Chang'an's reply came very quickly. Xu Xianbei was nomadic around the county, but he did not confer titles on the leader according to the Huns, Qiang people and Wuhuan who came to vote.

Knowing this, the Qiang people and the Wuhuan people both had their nostrils upturned, and when they walked through the Xianbei camp, they wished to raise their chins above each other's heads.

Xianbei people have long been psychologically prepared.

Their arrival will inevitably attract a large number of Huns.Although the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu wanted to open their films, they would not be happy to be used by others.The idea of ​​the old priest is tantamount to walking on the tip of a knife. If the emperor of the Han Dynasty gets angry, not only will they not be protected, but they may be attacked from both sides and completely exterminate the whole family.

Things are pretty good today.If you want more, it will be self-defeating.It's better to be low-key, honestly graze, and let the tribe settle down is the best policy.

Zhao Jia was in the barracks, watching five hundred soldiers galloping around the school grounds, all shirtless and sweaty, his thoughts drifted unconsciously.

He had an inexplicable premonition that Bian County would never be peaceful this year and next.

The arrival of Xianbei is one thing, and Emperor Jing's illness is another.Once the Xiongnu invaded on a large scale, if you don't want the hatred of humiliation to be staged again, you must keep the invading enemies out of the county and not allow them to set foot in Han.

It's just easier said than done.

He has personally experienced the fighting power of the Huns. If the opponent uses all his strength, it will inevitably be another fierce battle, and the battle will be quite tragic.

"County Lieutenant, the ten laps are over, and the winner is out."

Civil servants followed Zhao Jia through life and death, and had seen Zhao Jia's treatment of those who robbed pensioners, but now they were completely determined, and only Zhao Jia followed suit.

The Han style favors martial arts, and there are evil neighbors by its side, so it is destined that the military exploits will be greater than everything else.

Regardless of Chang'an or Bianjun, without military exploits, they are doomed to be looked down upon.Counting down from Gaozu, even in the period of Zhulu's chaos, the loudest voice in the court will always be the ruthless man with outstanding military exploits.

Because of this, Wei Shang chose Congzi as his heir, and there were still doubts in the clan at first, but after Wei Yue led Yun Zhongqi to kill and became famous, the voice of doubt disappeared.Even Wei Jian's uncle's family didn't say anything about this matter.

The civil servants believed that following Zhao Jia would not worry about having no military exploits.Even if one day he dies in battle, with such a Shangguan around, he doesn't need to worry about his parents, wife and children being left behind and being bullied behind him.

The pawns ran ten laps and took a short break. The first three teams were given a large piece of mutton, the middle four teams were given bones with meat, and the last three teams were given only a bowl of broth.

Watching the others eating meat, the laggards bit the steamed cake fiercely and drank the broth in two gulps.I swear that I will be the first one next time, and I will never be the last one again.

Learning from the previous experience, Zhao Jia made some adjustments to the training plan.

The only constant is running with a load.Leather armor, halberds, large shields, bows and arrows, and sabers are all intact, and a piece of wood is tied, and if the weight is not enough, add stones.

Zhao Xianwei rode on the horse, watching the pawns run away, a large cloud of dust was raised behind him, and ordered the little officials to ride on the horse to keep up, and kept accelerating halfway. Those who could keep up with the speed of the horse would get an extra leg of lamb.

"Win three times, reward millet."

Stimulated by the reward, the guards tried their best to run at an inhuman speed.

County Captain Zhao was very satisfied. Near the end of the service period, more than 150 people were delineated as key training targets.As a result, unexpectedly, the county city suddenly crossed its feet, and the king's book fell from the sky. Looking through the bamboo slips recording the results of the death, from front to back, he went to [-] people in one go.

What is this for?

Looking at Master Wang who was drawing circles with a brush, Zhao Jia pressed the veins on his forehead.Looking at the names of the people on the bamboo slips again, the corners of his eyes twitched, and the veins that had been pressed just now bulged out again.

Didn't you say you can't afford it?

Will it hurt my conscience to cut Hu Hu like this?

Wang Zhubo had a smile on his face, and his writing was crisp and neat, obviously his conscience didn't hurt at all.He said that thanks to the Yunzhong Salt Farm, otherwise, the county's reserves alone would not be able to support such an army.

"This is the work of Captain Zhao."

Zhao Jia was silent.

He didn't want to talk, he just wanted to be quiet.

Master Wang doesn't count VIPs, he's still eating in the barracks.After eating ten steamed pancakes and half a plate of lamb ribs in one meal, in terms of appetite, it is no less than that of a strong man in the army.However, it still looks like a breeze, a bright moon, a gentle and elegant style.

Looking at the empty bowls and plates, Zhao Jia decided to send the gifts out of the camp as soon as possible, lest the remaining soldiers be circled away, leaving no one behind.

Entering August, the soldiers returned home one after another, preparing for the autumn harvest this year.

Due to the adoption of cattle plowing and composting methods, coupled with the beauty of the heavens, the ears of grain in the field are full.According to the calculation of the old farmer, at least two stones can be harvested per mu.

Such a harvest is definitely a bumper harvest in Bian County.

In order to ensure that no mistakes are made, the farmers set up huts one after another on the ground and sleep here at night, not afraid of howling wild animals at all.

Young and strong, the old and the young are not too far behind.

Zhao Jia went to the livestock farm once and saw Wei Qing and Ah Zhi carrying a wild wolf with his own eyes.It is said that he was beaten to death by Morita's eldest uncle.Without using a bow and arrow, he picked up a sickle and broke his neck directly.

The closer the harvest was, the more nervous the crowd became. One was to be wary of the Huns in the north, and the other was to worry about sudden heavy rain.

An old farmer who knows the weather told Zhao Jia that it might rain in the near future, so it is best to harvest as soon as possible.Even though the sky was still clear, Zhao Jia didn't dare to ignore it. He quickly organized his hands to harvest the millet and wheat, threshed and dried them, and put them back in the barn.

Facts have proved that his decision is very correct.

Just as the last batch of corn was being sent into the granary, rain clouds drifted in from the north, blocking the clear sky and making the sky dark.Lightning suddenly fell and struck an elm tree. At the same time as the tree was on fire, thunder roared and heavy rain poured down.

The frontier residents were lucky to harvest before the rain fell and keep their harvest for one year.

The Qiang people and Wuhuan people in Hu City stepped out of their tents one after another and stood in the heavy rain with excited faces.

The rain dispels the heat, and it also indicates that caravans from the north and the south will arrive in large numbers.There are also businessmen from the far west, all rich and powerful, who can make them a lot of money every time.

This year, a new kind of salt appeared in Juncheng, which is as white as snow without any bitter taste.It's just that there are two prices for selling to Han people and Hu people. The Hu people who surrendered get the middle price, which can also be offset by military exploits.

No one thinks there is anything wrong with this.

A seller's market, love the market but not the market.

Sometimes, Hu merchants hold a lot of gold, and merchants are not willing to sell it.No matter how high the asking price is, it's useless, just call the buddy directly, and drive him away in person.

With such a bad attitude, Hu merchants still flock to him.

Salt in the grasslands is scarce, and this new salt is even more precious.It doesn't matter if you get kicked out, just go a few more times with the cheek, maybe you can get a deal.

If you want to buy goods, you have to give up your body, just like looking for horses from the grassland in front of the Han Dynasty. During the period, you were often trapped by barbarians, but in order to build a horse farm, you still have to knock out teeth and swallow blood.

However, the purpose of buying horses in the Han Dynasty was to beat up the Huns. When the Huns fell down, the Hu tribe who had done the crime back then would take them out and clean them up one by one.The purpose of these Hu merchants is only to make money, and in order to make money, they can ignore everything.

After the leaders of the Qiang tribe made up their minds, they exchanged the beheaded bandit leaders for new salt, which they planned to sell in Hushi.The selling price is dozens of times higher than the purchase price, and there are still businessmen from the west and north vying to grab it.

The caravans from the south also set their sights on Xinyan, and some of them were backed by aristocratic families, but Wei Taishou and Peng Shi were in front of them. With Zhao Jia's official position and title, he probably couldn't bear it.

Another wave of visitors were sent away, and before Zhao Jia could catch his breath, someone from the county came, saying that the prefect Wei had a call and asked him to go to the mansion quickly.

Knowing that the matter was serious, Zhao Jia didn't dare to delay, and quickly got on his horse and galloped to the county town.

Face to face with Wei Shang, I found out that Princess Yuyang had arrived in the fief, accompanied by Nangonghou Zhang Sheng, Prince Sheren Gongsun He, and Changle Palace Guard Cheng Zhang Cigong.

"The princess wants to see you, and I need to leave in the near future. In addition, the Yuyang Salt Farm should also be built." Wei Shang handed Zhao Jia a bamboo slip and a wooden sign.

Go to Yuyang?

Wei Taishou's words turned in his mind twice, thinking that there was a prince who was traveling with him, Zhao Jia could roughly guess what the real purpose of this trip was.After receiving the bamboo slips and wooden signs, he decided to arrange all the affairs in the county and set off for Yuyang immediately.
