I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 424, Drought Comes Again, Unlucky Yuan Shao

A few days after the Royal Army and 5 soldiers rested in Dunhuang.

Accompanied by Gai Xian and others, Wang Guojun came to Yumen Pass, which can be said to be the most remote boundary of the Han Dynasty, and entered another world from the Yumen Pass, even if he left the area where the civilization of the Han Dynasty radiated.

In such a commemorative place, Wang Guojun naturally couldn't come in vain. He prepared three animals and held a ceremony to worship the ancestors, telling the ancestors who pioneered the Western Regions that the unworthy descendants of the great Han had lost the Western Regions, and even Xiliang's rule Also at stake.

But now that they are here, they will definitely restore the glory of Chinese civilization again, rebuild the Protectorate of the Western Regions, and let Chinese civilization enter the Western Regions again!

Then the Kingdom Army left 2 troops to Wang Dang and said: "After I go back, I will propose to the ruler that you become the governor of the Protectorate of the Western Regions. Now you are in Dunhuang and start preparing to enter the Western Regions! The Western Regions are too far away. There is not much support I can give you, what you can rely on is the [-] soldiers in your hands!"

Wang Dang smiled confidently: "Ban Chao was able to suppress the Western Regions for decades with 36 people. Although my talent is not as good as Ban Chao, the support I received far exceeds Ban Chao. With the [-] troops in my hands, I should be able to suppress the Western Regions." Do better than Ban Chao!"

Wang Guojun said: "Make good use of Gai Xian and the other local snakes in Dunhuang. They have connections with various forces in the Western Regions. You have to make good use of them to capture the Western Regions with half the effort. Xiliang is completely different from the Western Regions and the Central Plains. Bring hatred here to Xiliang! In Xiliang and the Western Regions, we Han people do not have an advantage!"

There are not many people in the big army who hate the powerful, and Wang Dang is one of the representatives of the powerful and hardliners. Of course, this is also related to the hatred of the Jizhou Yellow Turban Army. Too many relatives, families, friends, and subordinates died at the hands of the Jizhou clan!
When Wang Dang led the remaining Yellow Turban soldiers in Jizhou and followed the Dagan army to counterattack Jizhou, all the powerful and noble families in the territory captured by him died cruelly in his hands. Even in the Dagan army, Wang Dang's cruel methods were a bit There are lingering fears in his heart, so Wang Dang is very withdrawn in the big army, and it is also because Yang Feng and other old friends who have been fighting together for more than ten years have a good relationship with him!
Wang Guojun was also worried that Wang Dang would also suppress the powerful forces in Xiliang and the Western Regions, so he asked Wang Dang again that if he did it in the Central Plains, he could not be wrong, because the entire high-ranking cadres were trying to split up the elites in the Central Plains.But when the king of the Western Regions should do this, the only ones who are happy are those barbarians!

Wang Dang nodded and promised: "I can clearly distinguish the inside from the outside. When we go to the Western Regions, we can only rely on these tyrants! If I want to kill people from the Western Regions!"

After explaining all this, Wang Guojun led the remaining 3 troops and the local people in Jiuquan and Zhangye County back, and at the same time escorted these hundreds of thousands of Qiang people to start migrating to the interior of Xiliang. Obviously, so many Qiang people cannot be concentrated in Dunhuang In other places, the Royal Army intends to place them in Beidi County and other areas of Dagan's confidants!

The last Qiang force in Xiliang was wiped out by the Dagan. When the news reached Anding County, the whole Anding County became lively, and even the whole of Xiliang became lively. The people in Xiliang were happy because the Qiang people were killed by Dagan. Thousands of people were encircled and suppressed, and it is impossible for them to recover without hundreds of years. They can finally live in Xiliang safely.

And Zhen An, who bought the Xiliang Development Bonds, was happy with the high efficiency of Daqian. It took less than half a year to buy the bonds, and the entire Qiang people in Xiliang were wiped out, thousands of miles from Beidi County to Dunhuang. The trade route has been opened, and after leaving Yumen Pass, even if you go to Yiwu, hundreds of miles away, the price of goods can be increased by ten times. If you dare to go to Dawan, thousands of miles away, the price of goods can be increased by a hundred times.Even if such a golden road is not completely opened up, only the section of Xiliang is passed, which is enough for big businessmen like Zhen An and the others to be excited. They started buying goods one after another, forming caravans, and preparing to go to the Western Regions!

At the same time, merchants from other parts of the Han Dynasty, knowing that Dagan only had one year to suppress millions of Qiang people and completely quelled the Qiang chaos in Xiliang, they also came to Xiliang with goods, silk from Jingzhou, silk from central Shu Shu brocade, medicinal materials, porcelain, and books from the Central Plains quickly appeared in Xiliang, a remote place.

The population of Xiliang is growing, the city is being built, the roads are being repaired, and the fields are being recultivated. Every Xiliang citizen has a hopeful smile. With the opening of the Silk Road, the whole of Xiliang seems to have passed through the winter. The earth has begun to take on a new look, full of spring!

Early May of the second year of Xingping in the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 195)
The Dagan army encircled and suppressed millions of Qiang people, completely pacified Xiliang, and the news of the opening of the Silk Road spread to the Central Plains. Although Yuan Shao and the others were shocked, they no longer had the mood to care about Xiliang's problems!Because Yuan Shao is too busy to take care of himself!
Because this year there is another drought in the Central Plains.It is only recorded in the history books that in the summer of the second year of Yihai Xingping, there was a severe drought in April, and in Renyin in winter and October, at night, there was red energy penetrating the Purple Palace!

This short sentence is a disaster that affects tens of millions of people.However, this drought affected thousands of miles of land in the Central Plains. Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, and Jizhou in the Central Plains were all affected by the disaster.But Yuzhou and Yanzhou were small and medium-sized in this disaster. It can be said that Yuan Shao's core territory was hit hard!

Since Yuan Shao moved into Luoyang City, the entire Central Plains has suffered from drought for three years. Either Yanzhou suffered from drought, or Guanzhong suffered from drought. This time, Yanzhou and Yuzhou suffered from drought again.Disasters are getting worse every time!
Such frequent disasters are unbearable not only for the common people, but even for the nobles in the Central Plains. They have to raise hundreds of thousands of troops, and they have to find ways to build steel knives and iron armor, find ways to strengthen the city walls, and build dock roads everywhere. Arming these hundreds of thousands of troops with the same treatment as the armed central army, now the powerful families have no food left!

In order to resist Lei Gong, the nobles and nobles in the entire Central Plains paid almost all their money and food, but before Lei Gong came, frequent disasters would have wiped them out.

Last year, Yuan Shao maintained his power by annexing the family property and food of Xuzhou's aristocrats, but this method can only be used once. This year, no tyrant will continue to kill pigs for Yuan Shao!

Moreover, the three years of disasters have also affected Yuan Shao's prestige. Now it is spread throughout the Central Plains that it is because the Yuan family rebelled against the big man and did a lot of outrageous things. Even God can't stand it. Disasters continue, and if you want the drought in the Central Plains to end, everyone must drive away Yuan Shao and let the imperial court take over the territory of the Central Plains!
