Shu Chen

Chapter 108
The migration of tens of thousands of women and children, as well as assets such as cattle, sheep, war horses, was by no means a one-day effort.

Not to mention, Di Wang Fuzhang is under suspicion.

If he is a little careless and leaks the news, Cao Wei and Di Wang Qiangduan will investigate him, fearing that he will be killed before he leaves Yinping County.

Therefore, Zheng Pu, him, Zhuge Qiao and others worked together and sent people back to Hanzhong County to ask Prime Minister Zhuge Liang for instructions on how to "cross the sea without the sky" was determined.

Autumn, August.

After the autumn harvest of the Fuzhang tribe, half of the tribe returned to their original habitat, living in the south of Wudu County.

Claiming that due to his mismanagement last year, many small tribes in Jinggu Road suffered heavy losses. He felt ashamed, so he wanted to set aside some pastures and acres for those tribes to thrive and express his heart.

For this, the small tribe on Jinggu Road flocked to it.

But Wang Qiangduan of Yinpingdi heard it and didn't take it seriously, but secretly scolded Fu Zhang for being cunning.

He who can occupy a county in the gap between Cao Wei and the big Han has no lack of keen thinking.

He knew that Fu Zhang's behavior was not unreasonable and generous, but it was just a retreat.

One is to use pastures and acres to keep those tribal chiefs who slandered him from talking about what happened last year.

The other is to protect the tribe from the flames of war.

The Han army at Baishui Pass, if they can leave the pass to plunder Jinggu Road once, they may not have a second time.Fu Zhang gave up the pastures and fields and retreated to the rear. If the Han army sent out again, those small tribes would become a barrier.

If there is something to give up, there is also something to gain.

What is there to praise?
However, even though Qiang Duan's heart is like a mirror, he just let this matter go his own way.

Because of his direct tribe, almost all gathered in Yinping Road.

Moreover, due to military considerations, there must be a small village in the pastures and fields near Jinggu Road, which will act as the eyes and ears of the Han army, so that he and the Qiaotou garrison can be informed of the Han army's movements in a timely manner.

It was Fu Zhang's scheming to lure those small tribes to act as a buffer for weapons in a way of giving up profits.

For Qiang Duan himself, as long as the siege at the bridgehead is as solid as a rock, he has neither the heart nor the leisure to talk about other trivial matters.

Therefore, he has been deceived.

Or in other words, he did not expect that Fu Zhang would abandon him.

After all, when Bashu was still in Jingzhou and the national power was strong, Fu Zhang abandoned Ma Chao and attached himself to him.

Now that Bashu is in decline, what reason is there to go to attach it?

Fu Zhang, who learned that Qiang Duan hadn't acted, breathed a sigh of relief.

Also in full swing, let the old and weak, women and children drive cattle, sheep and horses into Wudu County, and go straight to Guancheng.There was already a Han army waiting there to escort them into Hanzhong County.

As for why not, directly take the more convenient and safer Baishui Pass, and enter the place controlled by the Han army.
Both Zheng Pu and Fu Zhang had a tacit understanding, so they avoided talking about it.

The reason is not that the road from Baishuiguan to Guancheng is difficult.

It is the trust between the two parties that has not yet been fully established.

The garrison soldiers at Baishuiguan are only two thousand, while the tribe of Fuzhang is more than five thousand young and strong.

Zheng Pu'an dare to be sure, the Di people who swarmed in will not take the opportunity to seize the pass?
In order to avoid suspicion, Fu Zhang dared to ask evil?
However, the migration of women, children and assets via Wudu County was quite smooth.

After Cao Wei moved away the Li Shu of the Han family and some of the Di people in Wudu County, due to the problem of food and fodder supply, there were very few troops stationed in the county.Only the three counties of Xiabian, Shanglu and Wudu Road were guarded.

There is no surprise about the migration of the talismans.

Early September.

Knowing that all the old and weak, women and children were accepted into Hanzhong County's talisman, he gathered all the chiefs who were encircled by the bridgehead, claiming that he was attached to the big man and the conferred marquis, and that the eldest son Fu Jian could lead everything.

"I returned to Han because of the brutality of Cao Wei. I have learned from King Di of Xingguo and King Di of Hechi. I don't want to fall into the dust! Think about it, everyone!"

Immediately, throwing away these words, he led the young and strong horses and galloped away.

There are many chieftains of the Di people tribe left behind, and after looking at each other, they have different faces and think secretly.

Di Wang Qiangduan, who heard the news, personally led his troops to gallop here, but he could only watch the people go to the empty bridge to siege, cursing in anger.

In particular, the ones who greeted him were a group of great chieftains who were overwhelmed by the rhetoric of the talisman and had different thoughts.

However, counting the time, he could no longer catch up with the talisman.

After dividing the troops and letting his confidants take over as the chief officer of the siege at Qiaotou, he ordered people to report the matter to Guo Huai, the governor of Yongzhou.With the pros and cons of relying on each other, he claimed that he divided his troops to garrison the bridgehead, and it was difficult to deal with the border bandits from the Baima Qiang and Shen Lang Qiang in the northwest, so he asked Guo Huai to send some troops to garrison Dian Shidao.

Guo Huai got the report, not only lamenting the capriciousness of the talisman, but also annoyed at Wang Qiangduan's incompetence.

A tribe of tens of thousands of people migrated under their noses, without even hearing the news!
So stupid, how can he control the evil in the county?

However, being angry, he still sent [-] soldiers to Yinping County to guard Longyou's barrier.

It seems very stingy to send only five hundred troops.

In fact, it is the current Guo Huai who is also quite stretched.

The main force of Yongzhou is mainly stationed in Chang'an, Guanzhong.

The garrison in Liangzhou is mainly in Wuwei County, one of the four counties in Hexi, to resist the bandits and plunder of Hetao Xianbei.

At the beginning of the year, Quying in Xiping County raised an army. Although he was flattened by General Hao Zhao, it also caused turmoil among the Qiang and Hu tribes in Longyou and the Di people who were relocated to Tianshui.

There are a few people with bad intentions who secretly send their clansmen to pretend to be bandits and rob houses everywhere.

There are also those who are disobedient, such as the Qiang people in the Huahan area of ​​Heshou, secretly colluding and conspiring, and seem to want to emulate one or two.

In such a season when people's hearts are fluctuating, his soldiers and horses are all guarding and intimidating in various counties and counties. How can there be extra troops to support the strong?

However, five hundred soldiers are enough to fight against Huawai Qianghu.

Guo Huai thought to himself.

Ye Ran wrote a letter to Luoyang, claiming that Bashu had already begun to move in the northwest on the grounds that Di Wang Fuzhang had thrown himself into Han, and asked Cao Rui to issue an edict to forcefully relocate some Di tribes at both ends of the first mouse in Wudu County. Walk.

So as not to be lured by Bashu to surrender, and one will ebb and flow.

As for whether Bashu might send troops to the northwest, he did not speculate wildly.

Because the Han army once again gave up the good opportunity to occupy the bridgehead and siege.

Report it according to the facts, mention it vaguely, and let the temple officials make decisions!

The power of the temple has just been transferred, and as the general guarding the frontier, it is better not to use speculation as a reason to be suspected of asking for more troops and self-respect.

Of course also.

Guo Huai, who had been guarding the border in the northwest for many years, felt that Bashu's recent actions were too frequent because of Fu Zhang's rebellion.

It's just that there is something strange in my heart, but I can't be sure.

Zheng Pu didn't know about these things.

Now he is stationed at Yang'ankou, looking at the talisman that has just led the young and strong past the southern siege, he bowed down respectfully and fell to the ground.

Prime Minister Zhuge Liang actually came to greet him in person.

And Yang Yi, who joined the army beside him, was holding the emperor's edict in his hand, and proclaimed it loudly.

Well, the prime minister asked Yang Yi to take over the matters of dividing the fields, allocating houses, etc. to resettle the members of the Fuzhang clan.

According to Emperor Wu's policy of dividing the tribes of the surrendered Qiang and Hu Di people into "big mixed populations and small clusters", the clansmen of Fuzhang were divided into three groups.They lived in Qi County of Guanghan County, Linqiong County of Shu County and Nanzheng County of Hanzhong respectively.

The geographical isolation prevents them from gathering crowds to riot in the future.

It is also thinking about assimilating these Di people into Han family sons with decades of work in the way of Han and Di living together.

The affairs involved are complicated and trivial, and Yang Yi, who has always been efficient in handling affairs, is naturally responsible for it.

When Yang Yi was dispatched, she felt quite respected.

However, he didn't know that when the prime minister watched him take the order and leave, he also sighed in his heart.

"If you are not of my race, your heart must be different. Prime Minister Yizhi's generous treatment of King Di Fuzhang is a bone of gold, and other Qianghu tribes admire and follow suit. However, the eldest son is given the right to follow the general, I'm afraid it's not good for me, a big man. I hope the prime minister will miss him."

When he was ordered, he advised the prime minister in this way.

There is nothing wrong with this statement.

On the contrary, it is quite far-sighted.

However, when the prime minister nodded with a smile, he felt very sad in his heart.

The worry that had always been hidden in his heart, because the big man was restrained in the land of Bashu, would lead to the restraint of the eyes of the officials, and finally turned into a fact.

Even Yang Yi, who was quite different from him, was not spared.

It is true that Yang Yi's remonstrance is to look at things one step at a time and three steps at a time, which is very appropriate.

However, as far as the prime minister of a country is concerned, Yang Yi's words did not have insight into the overall situation.

When Zheng Pu mentioned whether Fu Jian could be appointed as Yi Congjiang, the prime minister took advantage of the situation and marched into Longyou in the future. After that, how to let the Qianghu tribe fight for the great Han was decided.

What's the difference between letting Fu Jian lead the righteous obedience and the son and nephew of the rich family in Yunyizhou becoming a monk and raising money?
Whether it is the Qiang and Hu tribes or the Di people of various tribes, they are just another form of "Yizhou Haozu"!

At a time when the great Han Dynasty is in decline and the Wei Dynasty is strong and powerful, we should use the situation to guide the advantage and gather all the manpower and material resources as much as possible for the Northern Expedition!
If you don't give up the benefits, the Yizhou wealthy family will not serve wholeheartedly.

If Fu Jian is not allowed to lead the obedience, the Fu Zhang will not include a big man.

To curb the power of the powerful clan in Yizhou, it is only after the capture of Guanzhong in the future that they will migrate away from the land of Shu to eliminate their power.

But now all the members of the Fuzhang tribe have been incorporated into the household registration!
With only a few decades of work, they are no different from other generals of the big man.

Why worry about the future?

And, don't you see, after rebelling against the Wei and occupying the land of Yongliang, the Qiang and Hu tribes repeatedly rebelled?

If the big Han is the same as Ni Wei, and adopts the method of containing the Qianghu tribe with worry that the tail will not be lost, even if troops come out to occupy Longyou in the future, these Qianghu tribes will also rebel against the big Han.

Let me ask, if there is an attack against the Wei outside, and there is a Qianghu uprising inside, can Longyouan guard against evil?

Furthermore, for national fighters, the potential for war is population and money.

The population of Bashu is far less than that of Ni Wei.

If you want to conquer the Central Plains and revive the Han Dynasty, how can you compete against Wei Wei only by relying on the land of Bashu?

Even if the consumption of money and food against the Wei Dynasty is three times, or even five times that of the Han Dynasty, the ratio of the loss of the soldiers is three times, or even five times, and the already exhausted Bashu will be dragged down.

Don't you see, in the battle of Hanzhong in the past when the late emperor was alive, Bashu was already "men should fight and women should be lucky"?

That being the case, why not show it with virtue, lure it with benefits, and drive the Qiang, Hu and Di tribes into use by our great Han?
And in the land of Yongliang, the Qianghu population is more than that of the Han family and Li Shu.

If the talisman is treated favorably, it will make the Qiang and Hu tribes in the two prefectures of Yongliang and Liangzhou admire my big man. They have repeatedly rebelled against Wei, and they will never have peace in rebelling against Wei!
However, the kindness of eight hundred followers, one family and two princes, can induce unrest against the Wei Dynasty.

Who can't give up evil?
There are all kinds of people in the world, and they are of different shapes.

Some are fond of fame, some are fond of literature, some are greedy for money, some are in love with power, some are fond of meritorious deeds, some live and settle down, some seek to promote their families, or some seek to leave a name in history
What you want is different.

If it makes people die, it is the first to get what they want.

Otherwise, the world has been turbulent for decades, how can there be unexpected happiness from the sky?
It's just that the long-planned plan will come to fruition!
Not to mention, the attachment of the talisman this time has already added thousands of households to the big man.

In other words, Fu Zhang used tens of thousands of clansmen as bargaining chips, and exchanged a favor with my big man.

Qingben Liangcai, why is Yiye blinding his eyes?

Witnessing Yang Yi's back, drifting away and disappearing, the prime minister was filled with loneliness.

In particular, the prime minister also remembered that a few days ago, Yang Yi and Wei Yan had a verbal conflict due to the allocation of military supplies.

Ugh.
After retracting his gaze, he turned his head to the east and saw Zheng Pu, who was leaving as a farewell, and the prime minister's eyes filled with disappointment, and he felt a little relieved.

Although the journey is long, there is still this son following me.

Know what I worry about, pay attention to what I worry about, plan what I think, advise me to do what I do, I will not go alone!
Very good.

However, the prime minister didn't know, but misunderstood.

Zheng Pu didn't have any other thoughts.

At first, Zheng Pu advised to treat Fuzhang favorably and let Fu Jian lead his obedience. He did not expect that this would make the Qianghu tribe in Yongliang and Liangzhou admire the great Han, and benefit the Northern Expedition and so on.At that time, all he was thinking about was that he felt that he had disrupted the prime minister's plan for the Northern Expedition, so he was obliged to do his best to make up for it.

How can you draw inferences from one instance and be as far-sighted as a prime minister?
He is not the one who governs the country, so what he thinks and worries cannot be compared with the prime minister.

In other words, he has been busy with other things, and he has no time to think carefully about how to tie the Qianghu tribe to the chariot of the Northern Expedition of the Han Dynasty when the troops leave Longyou.

He is also human, although he has the ability to plan and plan, but he is not omnipotent.

Well, he is on his way to Chenggu County now.

Go to the duty that was previously attached by Di Wang Fuzhang and delayed: Zuo Weiyan dispatched the war in the three eastern counties.

Naturally, such remarks are polite.

In fact, Wei Yan is a veteran general in the army, who has fought for many years, so why should he talk more about scheduling the war?

It's just that this battle was planned and advocated by him, and the prime minister also wanted to cultivate it, so he sent him to observe Wei Yan's dispatch.

Therefore, Zheng Pu has been thinking about how to get along with Wei Yan along the way.

This prefect of Hanzhong, who has always been known for his rebelliousness, was domineering when they met for the first time, which made him quite displeased.

This past time, I have to remind myself all the time that I need to suppress my stubbornness, not to have conflicts with Wei Yan, and let down the prime minister's careful cultivation.

However, quite unexpected.

Wei Yan's attitude towards him changed slightly.

Because of the people he carried and the new edict issued by the emperor.
