Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 448
The topography of the Dadu River has been surveyed personally, and it is spacious and swift.

Using battleships as bridges, that scale!
Gao Fang remained silent.

As a counselor, Dong Yun naturally understood Gao Fang's predicament at the moment, and suggested: "The Central Plains has crossed the Dadu River, and our army no longer needs support. How about withdrawing to Xichang City and waiting for the enemy to attack?"

Gao Fang waited for this sentence, and said: "Forget it! Just according to Mr...."

As he spoke, he glanced at Afu thoughtfully.

But Afu's face changed drastically, and he said in panic: "Yuehou can't do it, you retreat, what about Qiongbuchuan? There are not many soldiers in Qiongbuchuan, but they can't stop the blow of the northern bandits."

The tribes in Dali are completely different from the tribes in Tubo before.

Tubo has long been split into thousands and eight hundred yuan. Their tribes are self-governing, have their own armed forces, and are self-sufficient.

And Dali is a complete country, and the tribes are divided into heavy soldiers and heavy people.

The Xuhen Department belongs to the tribe that is more important than the military, and Dali will supply food, weapons and armor.

Qiongbuchuan belonged to a tribe that valued people, farmers and merchants. They had food and money, but they had no army of their own and no ability to resist.The assets produced must be handed over to the state and distributed uniformly by the state.

That is to say, there is peace under the rule of Dali, otherwise the Chuanman in Qiongbu would have been torn apart and swallowed up.

Gao Fang also thought about clearing up the resources of the Sichuan barbarians in the Qiong tribe of the Qing Dynasty before leaving. Seeing Afu's cowardice, he also gave up this idea. It is not worthwhile to ruin his reputation for a moment of greed, and said: "Central Plains As soon as you arrive at the Dadu River, you will go into battle. You will inevitably rest on the south bank of the Dadu River, and you will have enough time to move south. There is a place near Wuliang Mountain in Yongchang Prefecture, you can live there.”

Afu's face was overjoyed, and he kept nodding and bowing.

"Let's go!"

Gao Fang ignored Afu and led his troops back.

Return to Xichang City first, and then consider the next thing.

Afu respectfully sent Gao Fang away, and returned to Wulong City shaking his head.

Wunong City is said to be a city, but it is actually a larger county town, surrounded by some earthen walls to prevent small-scale thieves.

Because many deserters from the Xuhen Department entered the city, they talked about the horror of the Central Plains, and Qiongbu Chuan was also panicked.

Seeing Afu's return, people with status and status flocked nearby to inquire about the situation.

At this time, Afu didn't show promises in front of Gao Fang, but showed a serious appearance, which calmed everyone's emotions skillfully.

Until only Afu, his younger brothers Beibi, Shaogai and their sons Ayou and Mouang remained in the government office.

Only then did Afu tell everyone Gao Fang's intentions.

Bei Bai said: "Wuliang Mountain is not bad, it's not as good as Qiongbu River, but it's much better than our previous ghost land."

The core members of the Qiongbu Chuanman lived in the ghost land for generations, so Afu also has a very prestigious name, the Lord of the Hundred Mandu Ghosts.

Shao Gai touched his bald head and said, "I like Qiongbuchuan, and I don't want to leave."

Bei Wei said helplessly: "Why do I want to leave? As far as our strength is concerned, how can it be compared to the thousands of troops in the Central Plains?"

Facing his family members, Afu changed his appearance again, looked at his two younger brothers with a smile, and said: "There is no need to argue, I have decided not to leave, and surrender to the Central Plains directly. Who will I live with?" It’s not too much. Don’t look at Gao Fang’s majesty in the southern border, but he will not please the Central Plains.”

Afu has great prestige in Qiongbuchuan. Under his call, Qiongbuchuan directly returned to the Central Plains.

Afu personally led his son Ayou to the south bank of the Dadu River to pay a visit to Gao Huaide.

"I have seen the Great General of the Celestial Dynasty!"

Afu and Ayou imitated the Central Plains bowing ceremony and greeted Gao Huaide.

"Qiongbu Chuan was the territory of the Han family during the Han and Tang Dynasties. Our department has long admired the culture of the Celestial Dynasty. When we heard that the heavenly soldiers from the Central Plains had arrived, we led our troops to submit to the Celestial Dynasty and become a citizen of the Celestial Dynasty."

Afu's words are not adulterated at all.

For hundreds of years, the Dumu barbarians have lived in a poor mountain called ghost land. Although the tribe has no external enemies, they struggle against nature every year, and their lives are extremely miserable.

A Fu learned Han culture from the old priests of the clan since he was a child. After he succeeded the clan leader, he refused to follow the old path of his predecessor and began to seek changes.

Boldly lead the tribe out of the ghost land and accept a new life in Qiongbuchuan.

Qiongbuchuan is very close to Shu, and traders who travel to and from Dali in Shu often rest in Qiongbuchuan.

Afu learned a lot from them, and specially hired unsatisfactory scholars from Shu to teach the tribe, learn the farming skills of Shu, and encourage business.

Since the development of Qiongbu Sichuan, all models have been copied from Shu.

Officials in Shu were greedy, making people miserable.But Afu sincerely developed the tribe and acted fairly, which directly made Qiongbuchuan grow more than ten times in ten years.

Gao Huaide is not good at handling this aspect of the relationship, so he just responded politely.

Guo Wuwei on the side assisted Gao Huaide in dealing with the details.

"Patriarch Afu, don't worry, our army of the Celestial Dynasty has strict military discipline. We have come all the way, and we will never commit any crimes. You go back and appease the people of the clan, and let them go as usual. From now on, your department's taxation shall be based on my Central Plains policy. abolition."

"However, since you have surrendered to our Central Plains, the leader of the Afu tribe must face our Central Plains. My army is heading south, and I don't know much about the topography of Dali. Can the leader of the Afu tribe arrange a guide for our army?"

Afu said without hesitation: "This is natural!"

He said, pointing to his son Ayou, and said with a smile: "This is the dog Ayou. He admires the culture of the Central Plains most. There are four famous sayings of the emperor of the Central Plains written on his bedside. What is heaven and earth?" Set up your heart, set up your life for the people... Ah You has always been in charge of dealing with the surrounding tribes."

Ah You took a step forward and said, "Qiongbu Sichuan is focused on agriculture and commerce. The tribes around Jianchang Mansion are ignorant and don't believe in the Shu people, let alone the Central Plains. The grasslanders joined their tribe, bought their stored materials, and sent them to Shu. Selling. It’s hard to say about other places, but no one is more familiar with the locations of the various tribes in the mountains around Jianchang Mansion than the Caomin.”

When Gao Huaide heard the words, he became interested in an instant, and said, "Can you understand the map?"

Ah You said: "Understand a little."

Gao Huaide pointed to his desk and said: "Here is a map, you have drawn all the camps of various ethnic groups in Dali around."

Ah You took a few steps forward, looked at the exquisite map, was slightly surprised, then took a pen and marked them one by one on the map: Baosai Department, Luolan Department, Wudeng Department, Lianglin Department, Abdu Department, The place where the seven tribes of Shama and Fengpa are located.

Gao Huaide asked Guo Wuwei to receive Afu and Ayou on his behalf, and called Quan Shixiong, Chang Side, Tian Zhongjin, Yuan Jizhong, Huangfu Jiming and other generals to discuss military affairs.

Gao Huaide hung up the map for public display.

Looking at the positions of the seven tribes, all the generals frowned.

Quan Shixiong said in a deep voice: "This Gaofang, you should not underestimate it!"

Gao Huaide nodded and said: "Three of the seven tribes guard Xichang City in Jianchang Mansion, and four are located in the mountains on the left and right leading to Xichang City. If we leave the four tribes alone, the logistics will be harassed endlessly."
