Chapter 161 Qingyi Qiang in Hanjia County
It's just that when Xiong Da and Xiong Er joined Li Hui, although they were dressed in the customary clothes of the old people, they did not consider themselves to be old people. According to the two men, they were the descendants of the Chu people and were the descendants of the Chu people in the past. When King Qingxiang was on the throne, he led the Chu army to seize Bajun and the area west of Qianzhong County. The descendants of the army commanded by Zhuang Qi who occupied the Dian region only stayed in Nanzhong for a long time and were contaminated by the old people's demeanor.

In addition, their tribe uses bear as their surname not only because they worship the ferocious beast black bear, but also because the king of Chu takes bear as his surname. They do not forget their roots and their family roots, so all their tribes have the surname bear.

Li Hui was unconvinced by Xiong Da and Xiong Er's remarks. The people of Sou and Yi were always very mixed. Zhuang Qi led his troops to attack Guizhou and blocked the return of the Qin people. He stayed in the southwest and became the king of Dian. , there are indeed descendants of Chu people among the old people.

But Li Hui didn't know whether Xiong Da and Xiong Er were really descendants of the Chu people. After all, the old people had no history books or letters to which they could write, so it was difficult to tell the origin clearly.God knows whether Xiong Da and Xiong Er are really descendants of the Chu people, or whether they are elders from their tribes who have found a prominent ancestor for their tribe. This is something that is uncertain.

Not long after, under the supervision of two commanders, Xiong Da and Xiong Er, the messy battlefield was quickly cleaned up. Li Hui's soldiers who died in the battle were collected and brought back to Qiongdu City, and later given to their families for burial. , the Yi people who died in the battle were piled up in a large dug pit and buried together. There was not so much to be particular about treating the rebellious Yi people.

If Li Hui had not been kind-hearted, and he was worried that the corpses of the Yi people would be exposed in the wilderness, there might be a risk of causing plague.Otherwise, the corpses of these barbarians would not be buried. Instead, they would be left on the ground to be eaten by wild wolves and pecked by owls to atone for the sins of the barbarians.

Li Hui waited for a moment longer. After Xiong Da and Xiong Er restrained the troops and arranged them into a line, and the prisoners of the Langya tribe were tied up with ropes in groups of ten, they headed towards Qiongdu City. He walked back in the direction and headed towards Qiongdu City with a great victory.

Li Hui, who was riding on horseback, naturally couldn't let his horse gallop when Shiwu was marching on foot. He gently reined in the horse, and the perennial mount under him knew his intention and stamped his steps slowly, speeding up. Close to the marching footsteps of the army.

Although the fruits of a great victory fell into his arms easily, Li Hui's face was still very heavy. This was because the troubles caused by the barbarians in Yueqi County were quite serious. Taking what happened today as an example, the Langya tribe was only a small tribe. This tribe has no more than a thousand people, but they dare to defy the orders of the county and are not like kings.

Secondly, the Langya tribe is only twenty miles away from Qiongdu City, the seat of Yueqi County. As the commander of Qiongdu, Li Hui felt like a hungry wolf squatting beside his bed, with thorns on his back all the time. Not allowed to sleep peacefully.

There are Yi people entrenched near Qiongdu, and it can be imagined that in other places in Yuexun County, Yi people are everywhere in the mountains and plains. They are a great worry and make it difficult for Li Hui, who is named Qiongdu, to sleep and eat well.

He ate the food one bite at a time, walking step by step, slowly wearing away the thoughts of the Yi people in Yuexi County. So when Li Hui had just pacified Yuexi County, he led his troops to attack the Langya tribe. Killing the hidden dangerous chess piece of the Langya Tribe is the first. On the one hand, you no longer need to be constantly wary of any secret bad actions of the Langya Tribe. On the other hand, by annihilating the Langya Tribe, you can expose other barbarians in Yuesi County. The people of the tribe, let other people know that the sky of Yueqi County has changed. This sky is no longer the king of Yi Gaoyuan, but the government of the Han family.

The soldiers led by Li Hui rushed back to Qiongdu before noon.

Standing outside the city and looking up at Qiongdu, Qiongdu City is like a crouching tiger, lying lazily on the side of Qiongchi. In the past, the ruins of Han Chinese houses burned down outside Qiongdu City by the Yi King Gaoyuan for defense. , has now been cleared, but no new houses have been built on the cleared land. The Han people who were expelled by Yi Wang Gaoyuan to live outside Qiongdu City in the past have returned to the city, and naturally there is no need to live outside the city. A house has been built.

As soon as the army returned from the victorious expedition against the Langya tribe arrived at the gate of Qiongdu City, the fathers, old and children in the city heard the news and came out of the city one after another. They gathered on both sides of the road to watch the army fighting for them.

Many elders in Qiongdu held food or a bunch of five-baht coins in their hands, like splashing water, and put them on the hands of the marching Shiwu, shouting congratulations to the group on their return from the victory. The soldiers.

As the county magistrate and commander-in-chief, Li Hui received the most solemn courtesy. Many elders from Qiongdu City on both sides of the road shouted, "Mr. Li County is mighty" and "With Mr. Li County here, we will be safe" and so on. I would like to pay my highest respect to Li Hui.Many young girls in Qiongdu took a fancy to Li Hui, a talented young man who was the official of Qiongdu's parents. They used the sachets, silk cloths and other objects in their hands as substitutes to express their love, aiming in the direction of Li Hui, just like Raindrops were thrown towards Li Hui like raindrops.

In the middle of the queue, Li Hui, who was riding a horse, was smiling, and from time to time he raised his hands to greet the people on both sides of the road.

Feeling the sincere support from the people, Li Hui couldn't help but sigh that since he took office as Qiongdu Ling, all his hard work has been in vain. People's hearts are full of flesh and blood. If you treat the people with sincerity, the people will definitely repay you with sincerity.

At the same time, Li Hui was somewhat proud of himself. From a white body, he rose to prominence due to his meritorious deeds and was promoted by Liu Zhang to the rank of Qiongdu Ling. He remembered Liu Zhang's special situation and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the governance of Qiongdu City during this period. Above, the city of Qiongdu is now booming. In this way, I think I can repay Liu Zhang a favor or two.

Hanjia County, Hanjia County.

As the magistrate of Hanjia County, Yang Hong said to the guests in front of him with a friendly face: "Shuai Lang has done a great job in clearing the Yanniu Road this time. Hong will fully appreciate your contribution." Report it to Ming Gong, and there will be rewards later to show appreciation for Commander Lang's hard work."

Lang Tan, the Yi King of Yanniu Yi, is in his forties. After years of hard work, his face is covered with wrinkles and ridges, like a 60-year-old man.He had a smile on his face, which made his old face even more wrinkled: "Last time, the villain was deceived by the traitor Gao Yuan and sent troops to attack Anshang County. He deserved death for his crime. Fortunately, the Ming Gong was merciful and did not You blame me, but I know that I have made a big mistake. Clearing the Yanniu Road is just to make up for one or two of the mistakes I made. How dare I say whether I have merit or not? I hope Yang Ling will make it clear to Mr. Ming. In my heart, I don’t expect any reward as a villain, I just want you to know my loyalty.”

Listening to Lang Tan's humble words, Yang Hong sighed in his heart, who said that the Yi people are all stubborn fools, this Lang Tan is very aware of current affairs, and his speech is not inferior to that of the Han people. He can be called a person who knows the current affairs. of heroes.

Naturally, Yang Hong couldn't accept Lang Tan's request for retribution. Rewards and punishments were not something he could decide. Considering Liu Zhang's behavior, he said warmly: "Gong is merit, fault is fault. Last time Wolf Although Shuai was careless and made a small mistake, the clearing of Yanniu Road was thanks to the hard work of Commander Lang and his subordinates. I can see Commander Wolf’s loyalty and diligence. There are very few people who can compare with me. With the magnanimity of the Ming Dynasty, I will naturally not ignore Commander Lang’s contribution and should be rewarded with kindness.”

Lang Tan's face showed joy when he heard this, but this joy was different from the flattering look he showed to Yang Hongdui before, but he was happy from the bottom of his heart.It is one thing for him to deny credit, but if there is a real reward that can make up for his diligence during this period and the hard work of his subordinates, he will naturally be extremely happy.

"In that case, I would like to thank Yang Ling, but I would like to add a few words to express my feelings to Mr. Ming."

"Don't worry, Commander Lang, I will make it clear to you what you want." Yang Hongkuan said, Lang Tan, the barbarian king, has done a good job recently. He is also very aware of current affairs and knows how to advance and retreat. He can be regarded as a civilized barbarian. For such a person , Yang Hong, who wanted to control foreigners with foreigners, received Lang Tan with a kind attitude.Of course, Yang Hong would not blindly rely on the power of the Yi people. Only the power of the Han people was something he could feel at ease and trust fully, especially the children of his Yang family and the disciples who joined his Yang family.

As a member of the Jianwei family, Yang Hong received strong support from his family after he became the magistrate of Hanjia County. The talented young people and descendants of the Yang family all rushed to Hanjia County from Jianwei County to join him. Under his account, he allowed him to drive him in order to make contributions and make the Jianwei Yang family advance in his official career.

After Yang Hong and Lang Tan chatted for a few more words, Lang Tan stood up and left. Yang Hong politely sent Lang Tan to the door, then turned back and continued working on today's paperwork.

The first thing he had at hand was about Wu Junzheng, also known as Wu Yi. Wu Yi was about to arrive in Hanjia County and move the Qingqiang in Hanjia County to live in Shu County.

Among the seven counties in Nanzhong, Qingqiang has the largest number in Hanjia County. The alias of Qingqiang is Qingyi Qiang, which is derived from the Qingyi Water in Hanjia County. In addition to Hanjia County, it is distributed in Zhuti County and Yueqi County. There are some Qingqiang, but the number is small. Local officials can just carry out the task of relocating the Qingqiang. Only in Hanjia County, there are too many Qingqiang to be relocated. General Wu Yi needs to come to suppress it in order to avoid the relocation of the Qingqiang. Something went wrong in the process of Qiang.

Yang Hong guessed that this might be the reason why Liu Zhang appointed him as the magistrate of Hanjia County, and also to dredge the Yanniu Road. The Qingqiang who migrated to Hanjia County to live in Shu County, it is most convenient to take the Yaniu Road.

Putting aside his admiration for Liu Zhang's long-term planning, Yang Hong began to take care of his official duties. To migrate Qingqiang, the road needed to be smooth and there must be post stations and camps along the way. Sufficient food and grass preparations must be made, and medicines must be prepared in advance. Although Jiajun and Shujun are close to each other, their customs are somewhat different. There is no telling whether there will be epidemics or patients of all sizes.

Yang Hong was thinking about all the things that needed to be prepared in advance, so as not to go wrong when the Qingqiang was relocated and ruin the reputation of his Qianwei Yang family.

Jianning County, Dianchi Lake.

Liu Zhang occupied the magpie's nest and used the bright hall that was used by Gao Yi, the prefect of Jianning County, for his own work. Liu Zhang did not see any guests today. He leaned on the desk and carefully read the documents sent from various places. Documents.

Shen Mi and Lou Fa sent a document from Yongchang County, which stated that they had wiped out part of the rebellious Ailao Yi in Yongchang County. The unrest in Yongchang County had been calmed down, but most of the Ailao Yi had fled into the mountains and forests to hide. If you don't see it, once the army leaves in the future, these escaped barbarians may jump out again and become a disaster.

Liu Zhang had seen this more than once. The documents sent by Gan Ning and Xu Meng earlier were also said to be a series of victories, but the gains were not many. The Yi people saw that the situation was not good, and most of them fled into the mountains and forests, scattering like fish into the sea. , difficult to find, is a big hidden danger.

Although Gan Ning and others used salt to lure the obedient Yi tribes to search the mountains and forests for them and hunt down the fleeing rebels, the effect was not very high. The mountains were high and the forests were deep, and it was too easy to hide some people.

We still have to rely on the natives of South China. After Liu Zhang sighed with emotion, he continued to read the next document, which was a document sent from Yang Huai of Baishui Pass.

The document states that Zhang Lu sent his army commander Li Xiu to build a city on Zouma Ridge in front of Yangping Pass. He probably wanted to form a rivalry with Yangping Pass and prepare to block Liu Zhang's conquests in the future.

'The housekeeper's dog. Liu Zhang gave Zhang Lu a comment: Zhang Lu built the city, which shows that he is timid.

"My General Divine Crow is back." After Liu Zhang saw the familiar figure at the door, he first joked, and then greeted the visitors to take their seats: "Xingba, these barbarians who have been fighting for peace and disobedience for a long time, have worked so hard, please hurry up. Come and sit down and have a drink, I'll give you a drink first."

Gan Ning looked a little embarrassed when he heard this. After he walked to the banquet and took his seat, he did not pick up the wine glass immediately. Instead, he waved his hand and defended Liu Zhang: "My lord, please don't make fun of me. What a god!" General Crow, those are all ignorant and nonsense made by the Soyi people. I took this title just to intimidate the rebellious Soyi people, and there is no other meaning."

"Oh." Liu Zhang was surprised and said in a teasing tone: "Doesn't Xingba not want to be a general?"

Hearing this, Gan Ning's face tightened. He opened his mouth to say something, but something felt wrong and he seemed hesitant to speak.

After a while, Gan Ning said: "Ming Gong, as for the general, I naturally want to be a general, but my achievements are not enough at the moment and I still need to work hard."

Gan Ning thought for a moment and agreed directly, which would be too arrogant. If he refused, he could not express his feelings. He used a set of euphemistic words to express his attitude.

"As long as you want to be a general, it's good." Liu Zhang affirmed: "There is a saying among the people that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier and has no great ambitions. How can he achieve great achievements? The position of general to assist the Han Dynasty , I will keep it here for Xingba first, and when Xingba has made enough achievements, he will definitely become a general."

Liu Zhang's words were extremely bold, and Gan Ning was naturally not to be outdone. He said boldly: "Ming Gong, I will definitely make great achievements, collect enough merits, and win the position of general."
