Riding and chopping: Overlord of the Han and Hungarians

Chapter 283.
Spring goes and autumn comes, and the clouds move in all directions.

Not to mention the treacherous frontier.

Even Zhao Guo has a new look now.

In the wilderness of Zhao country that was originally barren, there are now countless low dwellings, large and small.

There are at least three or four people living in each residence.

Looking around, there are more than [-] to [-] such low-rise dwellings in the entire Zhao Kingdom.

They build along the river.

One winter day, amidst the bitter cold, the people in these dwellings forcibly widened the original Handan River by more than two feet, in order to obtain dry food to survive the severe winter.

The big ship is driving on the Handan River.

It is docked in the wharf planned outside the city of Handan, Zhao State.

food.

population.

A steady stream of people poured into the boats.

Then set sail with the sound of a chant and headed northeast.

Zhao Palace.

Liu Pengzu sat at the head, listening to the report of his staff.

"Your Majesty, until June, we have consumed 40 shi of food and grass. This is not counted as food and grass to support the Marquis of Liao, but just to support the consumption of those refugees."

"40 shi is not too much."

Liu Pengzu spoke lightly.

Indeed, in terms of Zhao's wealth, the granary of 40 shi is only a drop in the ocean, and it is not a big consumption.

The grain and grass accumulated in Zhao Guo's granary alone have already exceeded tens of millions of stones.

Of course, there are a lot of food and grass in it that cannot be put on the bright side.

In addition, since the covenant was reached with Zhang Qi, Zhao's caravans had already hoarded food and grass in Han, and then secretly transported it back to Zhao.

It can be regarded as indirectly speeding up the birth rate of refugees.

And Zhao Guo secretly absorbed these refugees.

"40 shi is not much, but your majesty, the grain and grass we have secretly transported to Liao is now more than 300 million shi, and an average of 50 shi is delivered to the Marquis of Liao every month."

"Although the amount of food and grass is not large, if it is discovered, the court may be dissatisfied with Zhao Guo."

"Well, this king is aware of this matter, and has taken full responsibility for this matter with Lingfan, and you can continue to manage the affairs of Zhao Guo."

Liu Pengzu nodded and replied calmly.

Now, even some veteran ministers of Zhao State know little about the alliance with Zhang Qi, they only know that there is a trade relationship with Liao.

The porcelain and wine from the Liao land really made Zhao Guo speechless on the books.

It’s just that for some reason, the successive changes in Zhao Guo made many Zhao Guo’s courtiers feel a little uneasy.

As for what he planned with Zhang Qi, Liu Pengzu would naturally not let these courtiers of Zhao Guo know, at least not yet.

Liu Pengzu will not speak out until the end of the day and when these people are driven by the general trend.

Sometimes, profit will drive those who are not far involved in the matter to be forced to join it.

"Okay, what else is there? If it's gone, today's morning will be here."

Liu Pengzu raised his right hand.

A eunuch coincided with a loud shout from Qihui.

"Retreat."

Reluctantly, Zhao Guo's ministers who still had a lot to say also bowed and retreated.

The people in the hall gradually dispersed.

Before Liu Pengzu got up, he looked at the eunuch beside him.

"Let Fan actually come over."

"promise."

Soon.

Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu's most trusted aide, Fan Jing, came in a hurry.

"See Your Majesty."

"no."

"This king has received a secret letter from the Marquis of Liao, saying that Chang'an has issued an imperial decree to lead the army out of the fortress. What do you think of this matter?"

Liu Pengzu's expression at this moment is completely different from that of the previous early dynasty.

Now his whole body is extraordinarily vigorous.

"Your Majesty, what I see is that I can just wait for news on this matter, and it is not appropriate to ask too many questions."

"Of course, the Marquis of Liao wants food, and we will support it, and the Marquis of Liao wants people, and we will deliver it."

"In my opinion, Marquis Liao may make a big move after withdrawing troops outside the Great Wall!"

Fan was worthy of Liu Pengzu's most trusted staff.

From many clues, he had already noticed the possible path Zhang Qi would take in the future.

Combined with the frequent military mobilization in the Han area for the past six months.

Fan actually guessed that there might be a big drama about to unfold.

"Is that so"

Liu Pengzu thought about it and nodded.

"How much food and grass have been transported to Liao, and how many refugees are gathered in Zhao State now?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, although Zhao Guo's account transactions with Liao land are only 300 million yuan in grain and grass, but in private, we have already supported Liao land with more than 700 million grain and grass. Now Zhao Guo has gathered more than tens of thousands of refugees. sent to Liao."

"Today, tens of thousands of people have boarded the large ships to and from the Liao land. I have talked with the Marquis of Liao. In the coming days, the large ships from the Liao land to and from the Zhao state will increase. After more than a month, these hundreds of thousands of refugees will be will be shipped out."

"Then continue to gather the refugees. We can't let Zhang Qi and the others keep food and grass. It would be a bad thing for this king to have a surplus of food and grass. Inform all Zhao country caravans and bring all the refugees they meet along the way back to Zhao country."

"promise."

Fan actually handed over.

Liu Pengzu waved his hand, and the two began to discuss in Zhaowang Palace.
-
Yunzhong County.

The center of the five counties in Bianjun.

It was the counties and counties where Zhang Qi chose to send his troops out of the Great Wall.

The [-] Liaodong Army took the first step, and now they just arrived here with Zhang Qi.

The governor of Yunzhong waited for a long time, and as soon as Zhang Qi showed his head, he brought the officials of Yunzhong to meet him.

"Excuse me, this Marquis is here to fight, you can just do the logistics work, and the rest, after taking down the Xiongnu, we are talking at night!"

Zhang Qi looked cold.

Seemingly proud of their talents, all the officials in Yunzhong also bowed and saluted one after another when they saw this, calling Liao Hou Yingwu in unison.

Zhang Qin hummed a few times, then ignored them.

He took three hundred guards and headed for Yunzhong Campus.

Most of the school grounds in the frontier are around the Great Wall.

Cloud is no exception.

When Zhang Qi arrived here, there was a lot of noise in the Yunzhong school ground.

Somewhat displeased.

Zhang Qi frowned.

"Why do you let our school go out with Liaohou again?! Why don't you go? A few years ago, General Wei went to the fortress with our school. This time, it's time to change!"

Before it got any closer, Zhang Qi learned what those people were arguing about from several guards who came forward.

It turned out to be an army song.

As a frontier fortress in Yunzhong, there must still be guards on the Great Wall, so not all the guards will go out with the army, but at least half of them must be left to guard the Great Wall to prevent the Huns from stealing their homes.

Among them, it is much more convenient to be able to use hands and feet.

As I said earlier, not all the soldiers of the Han army dared to face the Xiongnu like Wei Qing and his newly trained sons.

More than 70 years.

Many veterans have become accustomed to the way of fighting with the city.

To be honest, they are unwilling to directly collide with the Xiongnu. Although the Han Dynasty has been governed by horses for decades and has more than 30 horses, not every Han army is qualified to ride horses. The Huns without horses and the Han army without horses can't arouse any desire to fight.

What's more, although Wei Qing led the army out of the fortress last time, although the result of the inland Han Dynasty was a big victory, it was not the case for the border soldiers.

Most of the auxiliary soldiers of the supply team were recruited from the border counties, and these veterans knew exactly how many came back.
