Chapter 287 The Qiang People Who Scared to Pee (4.2K)

After Huo Shan's order was issued, in the next three days, all the military households in the mine and in the field returned.

Today's oasis has entered a period of major transformation, and all the ores that have been collected have been forged into weapons and living supplies.

For example, knives, shields, crossbows, etc. for weapons, stoves, chimneys, etc. for life.

As for the stove, there is a shortage of wood and a lot of coal. Now it is mainly used for cooking and boiling water, and it can also be used for heating in winter.

If there is no such incident, there is no need to be so anxious. This is all after the land is planted, and there are houses, kangs and so on.

The remaining military households were not idle, and were preparing to dig trenches around the oasis and build a city wall with stones and simple cement.

In the next time, we will prepare to turn the oasis into an iron wall and build a solid defense.

Although it is said that after these things are established, it is not easy to retreat, but Huo Shan has no intention of retreating. With this area and the current situation, where can you retreat?
Of course you have to stick to it, but only the 16 military households are sticking to it. As for the [-] army, hehe!

If an army of one hundred thousand people stays here, they are going to kill themselves!
While the military households are sticking to it, they also bear a little bit of firepower, and I don't know if they can use it.

In the past few days, Huo Shan had released Xiao Hei and the wolves to investigate, and he had already found some clues.

On the north side of Tianshan Mountain, which is only separated from the oasis by Tianshan Mountain, there are more than [-] soldiers and horses marching westward.

As for who owns the over [-] soldiers and horses, it goes without saying that it is definitely the Xiongnu's.

In the Great Gobi to the south, there are Qiang people investigating, to the west is Zhao Chongguo's former army, and to the east is Li Ling's rear army.

Although Zhao Puonu led Ten Thousand Yellows in the north, it was only on the north side of the oasis, on the Tianshan Mountain side, which happened to be the blind spot of Huo Shan and the others.

But who let him have Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei brand satellite radar, that's not a joke.

Until this moment, Huo Shan was finally sure that the Huns were going to attack him.

Apart from the Xiongnu, there are other countries in the Western Regions. Although Huo Shan didn't know the reason why they attacked him, Huo Shan didn't care.

But whatever the reason, it would be outrageous anyway.

The Huns would do something to him, and they could understand but couldn't figure it out.

I can understand that it is because of hatred, but I can't figure it out, because at this time, their country is in turmoil, and they actually attacked him at this time, Huo Shan wondered if there was something wrong with their brains.

As for the Western Regions, I won’t talk about it, I’ve said it many times before.

But no matter what the reason is, whoever comes will be killed, and whoever blocks his way can be beaten.

But in the final analysis, it is estimated that there is still one reason, interest.

However, after hearing the news, Huo Shan was a little excited. Originally, he thought that attacking the Western Regions was of great significance, but basically there was no big battle to fight.

But it popped up all of a sudden, and it was still his favorite Xiongnu, which made him a little flattered!
16 military households, that is, a 16 army, Huo Shan also plans to leave [-] cavalry around the oasis, which is sufficient.

So this time, he is still ready to take the initiative.

.........

On the fifth day of August, Zhao Chongguo, Zhao Ponu, Li Ling and others all returned.

As for the Qiang leaders, they came back even earlier.

But after they came back, they were imprisoned by Huo Shan. For them, Huo Shan built a few stone houses specially for them, the kind that couldn't see the sunlight at all.

The method Huo Shan adopted was high pressure, and he was going to deceive them, to see if there was something wrong with them, Huairou had never been his style.

It would be good if there was a little fraud, and the hidden dangers should be resolved in advance. If there is no fraud, it would be a good thing to suppress them in the current battle.

The Qiang people respect the law of the weak and the strong more than the Xiongnu. It doesn't matter if they have hatred in their hearts. As long as they have fear and awe in their hearts, they dare not do anything.

"Have the leaders of the Qiang people been locked up for two days?"

Huo Shan was playing with the Snake Slaying Sword in his hand, and asked inadvertently.

Zhang Anshi got up quickly:
"It's already two days early to return to the governor, and it's almost a day late."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Anshi grinned, shrank his neck, and said with a trace of fear in his voice:

"It's scary to cry and howl all day long."

When Zhang Anshi said this, the others also shrank their necks, with weak expressions.

Huo Shan glanced at them, knowing that what they were afraid of was not the Qiang people's howling ghosts and howling wolves, but the small black house.

No one here has not experienced the feeling of being in the dark, without a single sound around, making every day unresponsive, and the earth not working.

Except Huo Shan!

"Okay, Sun Shang, then bring them up."

"promise."

Sun Shang took the soldiers to bring the Qiang leaders to this place, and they were brought here after a while.

At this time, their eyes were red, their bodies were drenched with sweat, and some of them were emitting a stench. Everyone squinted and was in a trance.

Seeing them like this, everyone shuddered and remembered some not-so-good pasts.

Huo Shan knocked on the table with the Snake Slaying Sword, and the Qiang leaders trembled when they heard the sound, and quickly fell to the ground, not daring to lift their heads.

Huo Shan laughed, then stood up and said:
"Call me here, and lock me in a small black room. I believe you don't know why, so I will explain it here.

I heard the news that the Xiongnu raised their army and prepared to attack the Marquis.

I also learned that the Ten Kingdoms had colluded with the Xiongnu, and they pretended to be vassals, but in fact they disrupted our army when necessary. This Marquis has already wiped out them.

I also learned that some of you have contacts with the Huns..."

When Huo Shan said this, he paused for a moment, squinting his eyes and looking at the Qiang leaders who were kneeling on the ground, a few of them trembled, unexpectedly.

Huo Shan couldn't help sighing in his heart:
'This psychological quality is not good either! '

Nonsense, unless the psychological quality is extremely hard, it also depends on who you are facing!

Originally, they had a very high awe of Huo Shan, not to mention that their psychological quality was not very high. When they met Huo Shan, this situation was no exception.

Huo Shan slowly squatted down in front of them:
"I'll give you ten breaths of time to stand up by yourself, I don't want to catch them one by one.

And right now the war is coming, it is still useful for me to keep you, the little black room is equivalent to punishment, I will not kill you. "

After finishing speaking, Huo Shan stood up and started counting:
"one……"

Huo Shan didn't even yell out, the four trembling people immediately raised their hands.

Huo Shan smiled in satisfaction, and waved the Snake Slaying Sword in his hand:
"Say."

The next four people couldn't wait to explain again and again, and they quarreled together. Huo Shan knocked on the table, and then pointed to the leader of Fengyang Qiang:
"You said."

The leader of Fengyang Qiang swallowed his saliva, squeezed his dry and chapped lips, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Back to the Governor, the Xiongnu did contact us and wanted us to attack the Governor with them after they came, but I directly rejected them."

"Me too, me too."

The other three quickly agreed.

"What about the benefits, what benefits did the Huns give you?"

The leader of Fengyang Qiang was hesitant, Huo Shan smiled softly:

"Don't worry, speak with confidence."

The leader of Fengyang Qiang gritted his teeth:

"Going back to the governor, they said that they can hand over the governor to us and let us take revenge, and they also promised to attack Hexi, welcome us down from the high ground, and rule Hexi together."

Huo Shan was a little curious:

"Do you believe this?"

It's no wonder that Huo Shan said so. At this time, Hexi and the northern land close to Hexi cannot be broken by all your Huns.

After Huo Shan entered the Western Regions, Liu Che stationed a large number of soldiers in these places to guard against them.

There are many specific reasons, but there is only one main one. I am afraid that the Xiongnu will cut off Huo Shan's retreat, and I am afraid that the Western Regions will return to the embrace of the Huns.

The leader of Fengyang Qiang heard this and didn't speak.

Naturally, they didn't believe what the Huns said, but they couldn't answer it at this time.

If you believe me, do you have other thoughts?
If you don't believe it, do you think the Huns can't do it, so you feel that the benefits are not big enough to reject the Huns.

It's not right to say anything anyway, it's better not to say it.

Huo Shan didn't think about their answer, and continued to ask:
"Do you have any information about the Huns, such as how many troops they dispatched and how many allies they have in the Western Regions?"

The four of them looked at each other a few times, and looked at each other in blank dismay. Huo Shan was not surprised to see this situation, but took it for granted.

The Huns are not stupid, and you haven't agreed, how could you disclose your own information.

Even if the Qiang people agreed, they probably wouldn't reveal it. Who knew you made a false promise, but you really did!

At this moment, a person weakly raised his hand, Huo Shan's eyes lit up, was there any surprise?

"Say."

"The envoy of the Huns made a slip of the tongue. I heard they mentioned Wusun, but he realized that something was wrong and quickly changed the subject. I don't know the situation."

The smile on Huo Shan's face became more intense, but his eyes became colder and colder.

When something happened to Wusun, he was not surprised.

Not surprisingly, it's because no matter how big a man wins over, he's still not as good as the entrenched Xiongnu!
The accident is because Wusun is also a fool. The situation between the big man and the Xiongnu is very clear, and some can't figure out why they fell to the Xiongnu.

However, he didn't believe all of this news, at most three points.

Who knows if the envoy of the Xiongnu deliberately leaked his words to drive a wedge between Huo Shan and Wusun?

So, have to watch again.

Huo Shan recovered his senses and looked at the Qiang people, and said:
"Go back, take a good rest, gather the army to the oasis, and go out soon."

The leaders of the Qiang people were taken aback for a moment, so let us go?you are not afraid...

The leader of Fengyang Qiang glanced outside the tent, maybe he had hidden a knife and axe, and cut us off as soon as we went out?

Seeing their expressions, Huo Shan knew their thoughts clearly, so he couldn't help but cursed:
"Get out of here now."

The leaders of the Qiang people stood up and ran out. They stopped immediately after taking two steps, turned around and saluted, and then ran out.

Looking at the departing Qiang people, Zhao Puonu couldn't hold back and said:

"My lord, is this not very good?"

Huo Shan smiled and said confidently:
"I'll lend them ten guts!"

Huo Shan knew in his heart that the Qiang people dare not rebel against him!
Moreover, he still has some confidence in his personality charm. The Qiang people not only fear him, but also worship him.

This is also the reason why they would say it whenever Huo Shan asked, because they believed in Huo Shan's promise, otherwise who knows if Huo Shan would kill them after he said it.

Therefore, the Qiang people should have no problem here.

Huo Shan returned to his seat and sat down, then said:

"Li Ling, you have dispatched eight hundred miles to rush, so that the rear army's [-] soldiers and horses can return to the oasis immediately."

"The last general takes orders!"

"Zhao Puonu, the same is true on your side. As for the former army, after today, Zhao Chongguo, you can go back directly and wait at the same place after choosing a place to assemble."

"The last general takes orders!"

Huo Shan nodded:
"In a few days, after the soldiers and horses are assembled, we will go on an expedition. Zhang Anshi should tell you the specific situation, right?"

Huo Shan glanced at Zhang Anshi and the others, and they all nodded.

"Okay, then I will stop talking nonsense, Lu Bode, you and Wang Wei lead the military households to do a good job of defense, you are better than me at this matter, so I will not care about it.

I will leave you [-] cavalry to take care of the military households under your command, so let's just go to the third army. "

"The last general takes orders!"

Huo Shan thought for a while and then looked at Fu Kedu:
"You stay and lead this army, and keep in mind your mission, which is to protect these 16 military households.

If an enemy is coming, don't fight recklessly, if the enemy is fleeing, don't pursue excessively, and report everything to Lu Bode and follow his orders. "

Although Fu Kedu felt a little regretful that he could not follow Huo Shan to the expedition, he still got up and saluted:
"The last general takes orders!"

Because he thought about it from another aspect, this is the base camp for staying behind, and people close to him can't be in charge, so he is still very satisfied.

But Huo Shan didn't keep him as a confidant, this was after careful consideration.

He originally wanted to stay in Huangzhong, because Huangzhong was more reliable, but after thinking about it, in the complicated situation of the Western Regions, Huangzhong is his direct line, so it would be better to bring it with him.

And keeping Fu Kedu was only because of his own problems in this matter, and it was impossible for him to return to the Huns.

Although there is this possibility, Huo Shan knows that Fu Kedu is a smart man.

No matter how much the Xiongnu promised, Fu Kedu knew that it would be impossible. If the betrayer returned, that crack would never disappear.

Switch camps, once is enough.

And now he has Huo Shan as his backer in the Han Dynasty, and the tribe has also moved to the Western Regions, isn't it better than returning to the Xiongnu?

Moreover, the three rear armies that Huo Shan left behind for him mainly consisted of soldiers and horses that did not collectively refer to the previous Xiongnu Yicong as the main force, not his Zuo Dawei's department.

Moreover, these ten thousand soldiers are actually led by the Northern Army and the generals. Although they usually listen to the general Fu Kedu, if he really wants to kill something, Fu Kedu can try what will happen.

Therefore, Huo Shan was very relieved to let him stay behind.

As for his ability, although Fu Kedu is not too strong, he is not weak either.

Moreover, the main function of these ten thousand soldiers and horses is to be used as rangers, wandering around, if the enemy comes to attack, it is used as a deterrent, and they are used as horns for each other.

The way he played was not much different from the Huns' harassment, which was just right for him, and with Lu Bode watching beside him, there would be no problems!

Huo Shan looked at Lu Bode:
"As for farming things...

Wait for my news. If there is no news from me before the fifteenth day, you can see the situation yourself. If the situation is okay, then you can plant it. The subsequent house building and other things are the same.

If the mine can be mined, it can be mined, and if it cannot be mined, forget it. "

"The last general takes orders!"
