Shuhan

Agui, the Di king of Xingguo's Di clan, surrendered to Ma Chao. After Ma Chao's defeat, he was also defeated by Xia Houyuan and died on the battlefield. Tens of thousands of Xingguo's Di clan became Wei slaves.

The Di clan of Xingguo, who was originally the all-powerful one and wanted to sell some face to everyone, has been a grandson for several years. A few years ago, there were tens of thousands of tribesmen and 5,000 cavalry. Now, there are only 1,000 cavalry left, and most of them are old men. weak.

In the Wei State, every household was raped one Ding, which had already drained all the blood of the Di family in Xingguo.

In a few years, I am afraid that the Xingguo Di family will no longer exist in this world.

Xingguo Di clan?

Just a slave.

Therefore, after learning that Ma Chao had entered Guanzhong, the Di family of Xingguo immediately went secretly to join him.

Thousands of people passed by as they came and went.

It's a pity that Ma Chao died in Yong County. Otherwise, with the ability of General Shenweitian, he would definitely revive the Xingguo Di family. Even if it cannot be revived, there will be achievements. At least it will change the Xingguo Di family's current situation of being inferior to pigs and dogs. situation.

Just when everyone in the Xingguo Di clan was about to despair, Ma Cheng, the son of Ma Chao, took the emperor's edict and found the place where the Xingguo Di clan was.

The place where the Xingguo Di family lived was in a rather deep valley to the west of Longshan Mountain.

This valley is like a paradise forgotten by the world, surrounded by towering peaks, like a natural barrier, isolating this land from the outside world.

In the valley, there is a clear mountain spring water. It flows lightly from the heights of the mountain. The gurgling sound of the water is like soft music, bringing infinite vitality and vitality to the valley.

Along both sides of the mountain spring are the fields cultivated by the Xingguo Di clan industriously.

These fields are scattered in the gentle areas of the valley, and several fields that have been sown with wheat look particularly green.

The wheat sways gently in the wind, as if to show people their vitality.

In other fields, various vegetables and fruits are planted.

It is the harvest season, and the branches are covered with fruits. The attractive colors and aromas make people want to taste them.

There are few stables in the valley, and the cattle and sheep are almost invisible.

If you don’t know clearly, you might think this is a settlement of Han people, not a settlement of Di people.

This is very different from the Xingguo Di family in Ma Cheng's impression.

To be honest, in his heart, he was a little disappointed.

Aren't the Di people who rejuvenate the country the same people who immediately kill people?
Why can't we even see many war horses?

"General Pony, please come quickly!"

The new leader of the Di people in Xingguo, King Afu, is Agui's brother. He has long hair and looks very thin.

Beside him, there were few young and strong Di people, most of whom were women and children.

Ma Cheng's face was gloomy, but he followed Ah Fu into the lobby.

"To rejuvenate the country and the Di people, listen to the emperor of Han's edict!"

An edict from the Emperor of Han?
There was a look of panic on the faces of the Xingguo Di people, but they had heard of the great name of the Han Emperor. They hurriedly surrendered, sticking their buttocks high, fearing that their lack of etiquette would offend the Han Emperor. , causing disaster to one's own family.

Ma Cheng had no expression on his face and immediately read out the edict.

"The emperor of Han Dynasty issued an edict:
I heard that Afu, the leader of the Di people in Xingguo, managed the clan well and was loyal to our country, Han Dynasty. I highly commend him. Today, I am issuing an edict to personally come to Long County to meet the holy face to discuss the principles of loyalty and discuss the plan to rejuvenate the country.

In order to show my kindness, I have given you ten pieces of armor and hundreds of weapons to prepare for the needs of defense, and a thousand bushels of grain and grass to support the people's livelihood. He was also given a cup of colored glaze, five pieces of beautiful porcelain, and a hundred pieces of silk.

After receiving the order, Ah Fu must set out quickly without making any mistakes.

Admire this! "

His Majesty the Emperor personally summoned him?

Afuf suddenly became excited.

How can you be so virtuous!
How could he be so virtuous?

Ah Fu, the leader of the Xingguo Di clan, stood up slowly, the excitement on his face not dissipating yet.

But as if he had thought of something, Ah Fu couldn't help but show a worried look on his face.

"General Xiao Ma, what is the purpose of your Majesty's summons? I wonder if General Xiao Ma might reveal something?"

Meeting the Emperor of Han may be an opportunity for the Xingguo Di family, but it may also be a risk.

After all, the Han emperor's generous gift must have required them to do something.

And doing things requires bloodshed and sacrifice.

The current Xingguo Di clan can no longer withstand any major casualties.

Ma Cheng looked at Ah Fu's flattering look. Although he looked down on this person in his heart, he still said to Ah Fu for the sake of his father:

"Your Majesty wants to control Longxi, but the Peng clan of Longxi and some Longxi nobles do not want to completely obey your Majesty. Your Majesty wants to use the Xingguo Di clan as the minions of the Han State and the sharp sword in the hands of the Han State to deal with the Longxi nobles."

Dealing with the Longxi gentry?

Ah Fu was stunned.

Ma Cheng's next words were also spoken slowly.

"However, I think most of your troops are old, weak, women and children, so they may not be able to take on this responsibility. Your Majesty also sent an envoy to Qiuchi Mountain to summon Yang Wanwan, the leader of the Baiqing Di clan. Maybe he can meet your Majesty's request."

Are you going to use them to make people sacrifice their lives?
A lot of the enthusiasm in Ah Fu's heart was extinguished.

really
There is nothing good about the Han people. All they want is to rejuvenate the country and save the lives of the Di family.

It’s okay not to do this kind of errand!
Seeing the expression on Ah Fu's face, Ma Cheng seemed to understand what he was thinking.

"If Chief Afu thinks that working for His Majesty is a hard job, he is totally wrong. As long as His Majesty gives you an appointment, no one dares to despise you. Although your Xingguo Di clan has not many people, with a single call, , maybe there will be many Di people coming to visit, and with your Majesty sending you armor, with a little bit of ability, you can gather tens of thousands of troops. By then, will the status of the Di clan in Xingguo be what it is now? "

There are a lot of Di people in Longxi, but they are just distributed in various places. These are potential stocks that can be absorbed into the Xingguo Di family.

Ah Fu felt a little ashamed when Ma Cheng saw through his thoughts. He quickly saluted Ma Cheng and asked, "Please teach me, General Pony Ma."

Ma Cheng shook his head and said: "I can't guess what His Majesty is thinking, but as long as you really do things for His Majesty with all your heart, His Majesty will not embarrass you."

"In that case."

There was a hesitant look on Ah Fu's face, but soon, this hesitant look was replaced by his ruthlessness.

In the past few years, hasn't the Di family suffered enough humiliation when he rejuvenated the country?
Anyway, if things go on like this, the demise of the Xingguo Di family is not far away. If we fight hard, there may be some hope.

"Then I will go and see His Majesty."

Ma Cheng nodded, his eyes finally showing approval.

"Gather together the capable soldiers in the clan and let His Majesty see your determination. If you are worthless, why would His Majesty use you as a pawn?"

Ah Fu nodded heavily.

"Don't worry, General Xiaoma. In the dense forest of Longshan Mountain, this is the place where our people graze their cattle. Thousands of warriors from the Di clan of Xingguo are hiding in it."

Speaking of this, Ah Fu also had an embarrassed look on his face.

"Wei Guo Zhengding pressed too hard before. I had to hide people in the mountains. I also asked General Xiaoma not to be angry."

There are more than a thousand people?
Ma Cheng's eyes finally lit up.

"It would be great if someone could bring these more than a thousand warriors to rejuvenate the country and revive the Di clan. Maybe it will start here." The Han military camp in Long County.

After Liu Chan heard the news about the Thirteenth Division of Lu Shuihu in Huangzhong, he immediately fell into deep thought.

The origins of the Lushuihu tribe are complex, with elements from the Xiongnu and Yuezhi, and they also absorbed tribes such as the Jie and Diqiang tribes during the evolution of the nation.

The Thirteen Lushuihu tribes in Huangzhong are actually thirteen different tribes with different compositions. It’s just that the Han people classified them into one category and entered the stage of history.

"Of these thirteen movies, which one do you think you can win over?"

Xin Xianying shook his head and said: "Your Majesty can't win over any of them, or we can't win over you now. At least we have to reach Huangshui. Only after these Lu Shuihu know how powerful your Majesty is, will there be a chance to enslave them. These barbarians, I have always been afraid of power rather than morality.”

Xin Xianying's words made Liu Chan think less.

indeed.

After all, Lu Shuihu in Huangzhong is separated from him by high mountains. People may not have heard of him, the name of Liu Gongsi, the Emperor of Han Dynasty!

"If you can't count on Lu Shuihu in Huangzhong, how can you rejuvenate the country and the Di family, and how can the Di family of Baiqing be enough?"

Xin Xianying said on the side: "The Di clan in Xingguo is weak and easy for your Majesty to conquer, but it is impossible to expect him to deal with Anding Lu Shuihu. The Baiqing Di clan is strong. If it can be used by Your Majesty, it may be able to help Anding Peng." The Di clan caused a lot of trouble, but Yang Wanwan is not easy to conquer. Even if Yang Wanwan is conquered, the Xingguo Di clan and the Baiqing Di clan will not be enough to deal with the Peng clan. "

"Why?"

Liu Chan did not know much about the situation in Longxi, but he had one advantage, that is, he was open-minded and easy to ask questions.

If you don’t understand, just ask. The more you ask, the more you will understand.

"The Baiqing Di clan and the Xingguo Di clan combined, there are only tens of thousands of tribesmen, and the number of soldiers they can pull out is only five or six thousand. This is the contribution of their entire clan, while Anding Lu Shuihu has more than 200,000 The troops can pull out tens of thousands of soldiers. Judging from the number of people, Your Majesty can get a glimpse of it. "

How can thousands of people defeat tens of thousands?

What's more, in their place, there is Peng who can attract strong men.

"Then according to Miss, what should I do?"

"Naturally, all the available things were used. From the Di people, all those who His Majesty could employ were recruited. I, the Xin clan of Longxi, can also be used by Your Majesty. In addition to the Xin clan of Longxi, the Li clan of Longxi and other Longxi noble clans , Your Majesty might as well go ahead and appease them, and then deal with them later after taking care of the Peng clan in Longxi!"

Being an emperor means having a thick face and a dark heart.

The emperor's mind is like this.

Liu Chan nodded slowly and said to Xin Xianying: "Tell me about these Qiang Di!"

Xin Xianying obviously had the support of the Xin family in Longxi. Otherwise, where did she get so much information?

You know, in this era, information is very limited, and without local people, it is simply difficult to move forward.

This is especially true in places like Longxi, where there are many Qiang and Di people.

This can be seen from the fact that Liu Chan sent out the military chief Xizuo to obtain little information.

In Guanzhong, because everyone is Han, and the Han Dynasty has a high status in the hearts of the Han people, the military chief can make many people cooperate silently by explaining it with great righteousness.

A lot of news came to Liu Chan during this process.

But in Longxi, this method is difficult to succeed.

There are many barbarians and even more traitors in this place. The ability of the spies in the military department to bribe people has been greatly reduced, and the difficulty of obtaining intelligence has naturally increased greatly.

Xin Xianying nodded immediately and slowly talked about the situation of Qiang Di in Longxi for Liu Chan.

Those distributed in the dry loess plateau are called "Qiang", while those that enter the mountains of the Yangtze River Basin are called "Di".

Since the two ethnic groups are geographically connected and closely related by blood, after ethnic differences are formed, they will also penetrate each other at the intersection.

"Book of Han·Biao of Baiguanqing": "There are barbarians in the county called Dao".

"Book of the Later Han·Hundred Officials" says: "Any county leader who is a barbarian is called Dao."

In order to control these Di tribes, the Western Han Dynasty initially established a total of thirteen roads, namely: Wudu Road, Di Road, Gu Road, Pingle Road, Ju Road, Jialing Road, Xuncheng Road, Xiaben Road, Dian Di Road, Yinping Road, Gangdi Road, Jiandi Road, Lueyang Road, including 7 roads in Wudu County.

Living here is the most powerful tribe among the Di people, the Baima Di.

In the "Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms", the political regimes established by the Di people include the former Qin, Qiuchi and Houliang.

In addition, Liu Chan also learned from Xin Xianying that the Di people experienced two major migrations from the Western Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms.

The first time was in 108 BC (the third year of Yuanfeng reign).

In 111 BC (the sixth year of Yuanding), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened up the southwest territory, sent Zhonglang General Guo Chang and others to attack King Di and establish Wudu County.

After the creation of prefectures and counties, the Di people were squeezed out and moved to the valleys outside the country.

In 108 BC, "the Di people rebelled, sent troops to defeat them, and moved to Jiuquan County."

Some moved to Lufu, Hexi, and some moved to Guanzhongshui and Longshan.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops to suppress the resistance of the Di people and moved some of the Di people to Jiuquan County, which is the Di of Jiuquan Lufu.

The second migration took place in 219 (the th year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty).

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the heroes divided the country.

The Di people, who were between Cao and Liu, became the object of competition between the two.

The powerful commanders of the Di tribe also took advantage of the opportunity and formed four forces in the Wudu area:
The first is Agui, the Di king of Xingguo, who lives in Xingguo City.
The second is Yang Qianwan, the Di king of Baiqing, who lives in Qiuchi Mountain;
The third is the seven divisions including Di Shuai Lei Ding and others from Xiaben and other places;
The fourth is Dou Mao, the Di king near Hechi, with more than 10,000 Di followers.

Each of the four ruled the roost and were not attached to Han or Wei.

However, after being dealt with by the Han and Wei Dynasties, the Xingguo Di clan became Wei's slaves and their power was greatly reduced. Yang Wanwan obeyed Cao Wei and was able to maintain his strength. Lei Ding relied on Liu Bei and his power was relatively well preserved. However, the Hechi Di clan was directly given to Cao Cao. The clan was exterminated.

In other words, what Liu Chan can rely on now is the Di clan of Xingguo and the Di clan of Baiqing.

However, the number of these Di people is too small.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Ma Chao's son Ma Cheng is still under your Majesty's command. If he raises his arms and shouts, he will surely attract his followers!"

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

Ma Chao's reputation is still there.

Liu Chan already had an idea in his mind, and at this time, Ah Fu, the leader of the Di clan of the new country, also arrived.

Liu Chan immediately asked him to go into his account and summon him.

"Barbarian Chief Ah Fu, pay homage to your Majesty, long live your Majesty!"

Ah Fu lowered his head, was very polite and respectful, and did not even dare to glance at Liu Chan.

"Are you the Afu of the Di family of Xinguo?"

"The little chief is Ah Fu."

Although Ah Fu lowered his head, his eyes were very bright.

During the time he came all the way from Longshan, he had already figured it out.

This is the only chance he has in his life to rejuvenate the Di family, and it is also the last chance to rejuvenate the Di family. No matter what, he must firmly grasp this opportunity!

For this reason, it would not be a pity even if he died! (End of chapter)
