Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 618 Situation in the North

The matter of Han Sui may be a major event for Xiliang, but for Chu Nan, it is really a matter of convenience. After all, the situation in Xiliang today is completely different from the situation in Xiliang in history. In the battle, Xin Pi's vitality was severely injured by a big flood, and the relationship between Ma and Han was established with the Ma family and Chu Nan, and it was impossible to continue to join forces with Han Sui.

Although Han Sui took the territory and troops of Hou Xuan and others, the Ma family had the support of the imperial court and the friendship of the Qiang people of all ethnic groups, which was enough to contend with Han Sui. If Han Sui hadn't intended to murder Chu Nan, Chu Nan would not even make a move. This kind of matter should be discussed and dealt with by various ministries of the imperial court.

However, Han Sui's execution, for Chu Nan's trip to Xiliang, can be regarded as saving a lot of trouble, and the next trip will be much smoother.

"Yanming did a good job." Chu Nan looked at Han Sui's head and asked someone to dispose of it. He looked at Yan Xing and said with a smile: "Xu your post of captain has been passed by the imperial court, take your family to Xuchang as soon as possible Debrief."

"Here, thank you, Prime Minister!" Yan Xing bowed to Chu Nan, seeing that Chu Nan had no other instructions, he bowed and left.

"Prime Minister, it's not difficult to kill Han Sui, why bother?" Ma Chao was a little depressed, Yan Xing just took the credit for this.

"Do you know what supernatural powers Han Sui has?" Chu Nan asked.

"The general doesn't know, that old dog seldom takes action. He only knows that his supernatural powers are treacherous, but he doesn't know what supernatural powers he has." Ma Chao shook his head. Although he was in Xiliang, Han Sui hid very deeply, and he had never seen him use himself. Supernatural powers.

"He can sacrifice essence and blood, and instantly appear anywhere within a ten-mile radius. As for where he appears, he doesn't even know. In addition, he can exchange positions with anyone by making arrangements in advance. It's not difficult for you to defeat him , but are you sure you can kill him?" Chu Nan asked with a smile.

Ma Chao looked at Chu Nan in astonishment: "How does the Prime Minister know this?"

"Do you think Yan Xing knows about this?" Chu Nan looked at him amusedly, isn't it obvious.

Ma Chao reacted when he heard the words, a little embarrassed.

"Okay, next, the imperial court will send a group of officials to Xiliang to take charge of the relocation of the Qiang people. The next few years will mainly focus on this matter." Chu Nan shook his head, this matter is over, next Xiliang focuses on restoring people's livelihood.

"Prime Minister, the last general is a war general. What does this matter of internal affairs have to do with me?" Ma Chao was puzzled. He was the lieutenant of Po Qiang, not the governor of Xiliang. This matter has something to do with him?

"Meng Qi is very important." Chu Nan looked at Ma Chao and smiled.

Hearing this, Ma Chao looked at Chu Nan suspiciously, suspecting that the other party was lying to him: "What does this matter have to do with the last general?"

"The existence of breaking Qiang Xiaowei's mansion is to deter Xiliang's rich people, and the second is to hope that the Qiang tribes of all ethnic groups can talk to the government office, and don't use swords and guns. The imperial court's attack on Xiliang is also for the good of Xiliang as a whole. .” Chu Nan looked at Ma Chao and said, “Do you think it’s related to you?”

How to make the other party speak well?
Ma Chao understands a little bit, compared to Zhao Yun, this one is more like a disciple of Chen Gong, who speaks obliquely, which is unpleasant.

"The general understands that he will let them cooperate with the government office." Ma Chao clasped his fists.

"Xiliang is a big place. I will stay in Xiliang for a few months. During this period of time, Meng Qi will accompany me to travel to various parts." Chu Nan said with a smile, this Xiliang is different from the Central Plains and Guanzhong, even if Xiliang is already It belonged to the imperial court, but the Qiang tribes were not among them. If Chu Nan wanted to travel all over the country, he still had to be accompanied by someone who could hold down the Qiang people, so that the matter could be completed smoothly.

"Prime Minister, don't worry, in Xiliang, the Prime Minister can go wherever he wants!" Ma Chao patted his chest.

The Ma family has been rooted in Xiliang for many years, and Ma Chao is well-known among the Qiang people. He believes that as long as he is there, Chu Nan's trip to Xiliang will be a success.

"Thank you!" Chu Nan nodded. This is Ma Chao after being trained by the teacher.

In the next few days, court officials came one after another. According to Chu Nan's policy, they began to attract merchants to trade here. Because of the relationship between Qiang and Han being encouraged, the business tax for merchants here will be much lower, and they can get a certain share of Xu. Jin, under these favorable policies, there are naturally merchants who are willing to come to Xiliang for business.

Moreover, the business environment in Xiliang itself is not bad. Not only can you buy cattle, sheep and war horses, but you can also buy some goods from the Western Regions here.

At the same time, various county towns also began to recruit people to repair the city walls. With Chu Nan's foreshadowing, a large number of Qiang people began to gather in the city. At the same time, Chu Nan moved a group of refugees from Bingzhou to join the large-scale construction here.

During the construction process, many Qiang people began to settle down in the county seat. Xiliang is a vast land with few people, no lack of arable land, and rich mineral resources. As long as these production industries exist, natural energy will continue to attract Qiang people to settle in the city. Live according to the laws of the Han Dynasty.

In the second year after Chu Nan left Xiliang, Chen Gong built a Xiliang Academy here.

These are all things to say later, Chu Nan has been wandering in Xiliang all winter, and fortunately he has stored a large number of earthworms in his luggage for winter use, otherwise it would not be easy to replace the land veins.

This Xiliang is definitely not as good as the Central Plains due to climate, terrain and other reasons, but after the change of the terrain, it should be able to support more people's lives. In such a relatively barren land, the implementation of the New Deal is not as easy as imagined. The Qiang tribes didn't care much about the Han Dynasty's New Deal, they cared more about how much benefit they could get. For this matter, Ma Chao's Hu Qiang Xiaowei's Mansion dispatched troops eight times in order to convince all parties.

The matter of Xiliang was completely resolved in the spring of the following year, and Chu Nan also traveled all over the country. When he was in Fuhan, he met a small court that had been emperor for many years. Chu Nan didn't know what these people thought. He dared to proclaim himself emperor with less than two thousand soldiers. Chu Nan could only say that he was very brave.

Without even mobilizing troops, Zhou Cang went in alone and captured the opponent's emperor.

Although it is a farce, it is of a very serious nature. It’s fine if you don’t know it, let him mess around, but since you know it, this is an act of usurping the throne. If Chu Nan loses power at this moment and is taken down, the court will not even convict Chu Nan. Song Jian's seriousness, there is no need to ask about all the gangsters. If Chu Nan was not here, no one in the massacre would think it was cruel.

After leaving Xiliang, Chu Nan did not go directly to Bingzhou, but directly recruited Ji Ling, the new guard of the Xiongnu, and took Ji Ling to Hetao, restoring Hetao to the name of Shuofang County. After Lu Bu came to borrow food last time , the men in Hetao were almost wiped out, but the land here is fertile and suitable for farming. Chu Nan gathered the Han people here, divided up all the Hun women, let them multiply and live here, and increase the number of Han people here as soon as possible. The Ministry moved to Jiuyuan, and when necessary, he could join forces with Zhao Yun, the captain of the Xianbei guard, to crusade against the Xianbei who came to invade.

"Prime Minister, at the beginning of last year, Marquis Wen had already entered the grassland, accompanied by Zilong, each of them brought a soldier and horse, and fought all the way from Qiushui to the shore of the North Sea, and then came back again, back and forth. Three times." Ji Ling looked at Chu Nandao, and he felt that the guards of the Huns were a bit of a display, whether it was the Huns with only women and children left on the Hetao side or the Xianbei remnants north of the Yinshan Mountain, they were no longer enough to continue to pose a threat to the border.

Lu Bu and Zhao Yun were also really ruthless, forcing the Xianbei people to hand over Ke Bineng's head before giving up. After this battle, Xianbei might not be able to recover in ten years.

Chu Nan went from Luoyang to Guanzhong and then to Hetao this year. He didn't know much about things here. He knew that Lu Bu would go north at the beginning of the year, but he didn't expect it to be so ruthless. The combination of Lu Bu and Zhao Yun was really not easy for Xianbei people to resist.

"Then the father-in-law has returned to the court?" Chu Nan nodded. It seems that the four schools in the north will soon cease to exist in name only. It just so happens that the merits of the four will almost be promoted in a few years.

Recently, as trade with the Western Regions has become more frequent, Chu Nan also has the idea of ​​re-opening the Silk Road. At that time, a Western Region Protectorate and Pingxi General will be set up, and one of the four will be selected to serve.

"Never before, after General Zilong came back, he said that Marquis Wen went to Bailang Mountain again to calm Karasuma. General Zilong had asked the imperial court for help, and the last general also sent a memorial." Ji Ling She looked at Chu Nan with some embarrassment.

The highest ideal of a big man is not to be an emperor, but to be like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. This is what a man should do.

Seeing Lu Bu displaying his majesty on the grassland, not only Zhao Yun was moved, but Ji Ling and Xu Huang were also moved, but Chu Nan was not in the court, so the response to such things would be much slower.

"The land of Hetao still needs to be guarded for the time being to prevent the Huns from causing chaos." Chu Nan shook his head. Although it was a great achievement to sweep up the grassland with Lu Bu, there are still many Hun tribes here. The place is deserted, and the footprints of a large number of Huns have already penetrated into the border counties of Xihe, Yanmen, Jinyang, and Yunzhong.

Chu Nan does not need a population surge in a short period of time. He wants the north to be stable and under the control of the Han people. Now that the north has been swept away by Lu Bu, the living environment is no longer harsh, and the Han people here can slowly recuperate and increase the population. Karasuma, this is not urgent, if the father-in-law needs it, Xu Huang and Zhao Yun can provide timely support.

Originally planned to deal with Bingzhou according to the plan after passing the Hetao, but when he parted, he learned from Ji Ling that Zhao Yun was about to get married, and Chu Nan changed his mind. Knowing that, it is not a bad idea to go to Youzhou first.

"Which woman is it?" Chu Nan asked curiously, in this remote and remote place, could there be a woman who could make Zhao Yun's heart move and marry him back home?

"It's the daughter of the Han family who was robbed by the Xiongnu royal court before. Has the prime minister ever heard of the great Confucian Cai Yong?" Ji Ling laughed.

"Cai Weng's daughter?" Chu Nan asked in surprise.

"Well, it is Cai Weng's daughter, who was captured by the Xiongnu Zuo Xianwang. Before Wen Hou swept Hetao, Liu Bao fled to the outside of the Great Wall with his family and tribe. Long Fan killed and rescued the girl from the Cai family, and then the two came and went..." Ji Ling gave Chu Nan an expression that you can understand.

"Interesting, when will we get married? I'll try my best to check it out." Chu Nan said with a smile.
