Chapter 90 Based on Huaihuang Town
The wind blows hard on the prairie.As far as the eye can see, there is a scene of vegetation growing.To the north of Nao Lake in Anguli, more than 300 Xibu people have settled by the lake.Li Chongjiu is obviously very concerned about Xi Bu's movements.As soon as the Xi tribe gathered together, Li Chongjiu, Wang Mahan and Tanzong rode their horses to the hillside to observe.

According to the original agreement, the two sides of Hu and Han were separated by Anguli Nao Lake, and the camp of Xibu lived with its back to the lake.

Under the big wool banner in the center of the camp is the place where Qijin lives. According to the custom of the five tribes of the Xi tribe, outside Qijin's army tent, it is necessary to have '500 men in the guard tent', and the rest are scattered around. After learning about the current situation, it is not bad to have 50 people guarding the center.

After the Dazhai was established, the Xi clan tied up the cattle and sheep pens.As a nomadic people, Xi people's main business is herding, supplemented by hunting. Occasionally, a small number of people even practice agriculture.

Of course, Xiren's farming is the most basic slash-and-burn farming.

In terms of family origin, Xiren is a branch of Donghu.In Qin and Han Dynasties, in the Northeast, there were three clans of Donghu, Yeji, and Sushen.After that, apart from being annexed by other tribes, most of them merged with the Buyeo people. They are the current Goguryeo people, and Sushen is the current Mohe Qibu.

As for Donghu, it is the nation east of the Huns. After being defeated by the Huns, they lived separately in Wuhuan Mountain and Xianbei Mountain, becoming the origin of the two major clans.

Not to mention the Xianbei and Rouran clans, now several neighbors near Li Chongjiu, Xi, Shiwei, and Khitan are all descendants of Donghu.

Even if Li Chongjiu claimed that these Huaihuang townsmen from the Han region accounted for more than a quarter of them, Hu people, and Hu-Han blood, many of them were Rouran people after the Sinicization of the Northern Dynasty, and Sinicization The later Xianbei people were all the result of national integration in the Northern Dynasty.

"Senior brother, you are really serious. With just one word, you have to ridicule two thousand members of the Ministry. At first, I thought there would be a good battle." Tan Zong said with dissatisfaction.

Wang Mahan snorted and said: "You are content, if not for the young bodyguard, the fight between the two sides would be a fierce battle."

Tan Zong said: "I'm afraid he's a bird feather. If I use an iron pestle, no matter how much I ridicule people's heads, it will bloom at the same time."

Li Chongjiu smiled, pointed at Xibu's camp with his horsewhip, and said: "Although Xibu is attached to the inside, but the barbarians are recalcitrant, and he will bite him back at some point. We will set up checkpoints here and keep an eye on them at any time." Just keep track of their movements."

"Simply, when Erniang and the others come back from Mobei with their brothers, we will attack at night and completely wipe out these barbarians, so as to prevent future troubles." Wang Mahan made a killing gesture.

Li Chongjiu waved his hand and said: "In the grasslands, fighting and killing will not make a difference. If Xi's people are killed, there will be no barbarians coming to vote for us in the future."

Tanzong and Wang Mahan were all surprised when they heard this, they didn't expect Li Chongjiu to have such great ambition and ambition.

Li Chongjiu pointed to the Anguli Nao Lake and said: "With this Anguli Nao Lake as the boundary, the 20 sheep given to us by the Xi people will be grazed in Hunan. This matter will be left to the [-] to [-] year olds. The young men who do it are not enough for us to match the manpower."

"This spring is the time for lambs to give birth. The matter of picking up lambs is very important. More women and children are needed to do it. In addition, the pasture must keep up. Grassland people often say that there are three fats in animals, and spring fat is the most important. If these sheep, in autumn If you can't catch fat three fingers thick, you will be slaughtered, otherwise you will never survive the winter."

When Li Chongjiu said this, Wang Mahan and Tanzong all nodded. They all knew that Li Chongjiu had been asking the shepherds and farmers for advice on farming these days.

"After that, we will organize the elderly and women who can move to go fishing near Anguli Nao Lake as a short-term food aid."

"Don't we grow wheat? In a few days, we will miss the day of spring plowing." Wang Mahan asked. As a Han, the most important thing is of course farming, which is the primary productive force of the farming nation.

Li Chongjiu nodded and said: "We need to grow wheat, but it's not the most important thing. Didn't the Ministry of Xi give us a hundred cows? Organize 500 people to reorganize the southern slopes and sow the wheat seeds." .”

Grassland tribes use cattle, which are generally used to carry carts.There is a saying on the prairie that people live on horseback, while families live on ox carts.When the shepherds moved to the camp, large and small items were carried by cattle. Of course, cattle were more important to farming peoples. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, killing cattle was punishable by punishment (Note [-]).

Li Chongjiu thought for a while, and the allocation of such manpower would not be enough.I originally wanted to clean up Huaihuang Town this year, at least repair the collapsed outer wall, so that if it is attacked by other forces in the future, it can also resist it.

You must know that the city wall of Huaihuang Town, one of the six towns, was extremely strong at the beginning. After repairing it, it will become a strong city. Unfortunately, among the refugees, there are only old, weak, women and children, not young and strong.It seems that the matter of repairing the city wall can only be postponed to next year.

However, Li Chongjiu just learned that Shanggu County, which has always been considered peaceful, is now in rebellion.

Wang Xuba, a man from Shanggu, called himself King Mantian and his country Yan, and Wei Daoer, his deputy commander, called himself Li Shanfei. The uprising was not much more than a dozen days, and it gathered 10,000+ people.And Yang Guang, who was in Liaodong, immediately transferred Luo Yi, who was stationed in Youzhou, to send troops to suppress the rebellion.If there was a rebellion in Shanggu County, Li Chongjiu thought that he should also be able to get many tribesmen who fled to the grassland in the future from this place, and he could even send people to gather them.

In troubled times, there are refugees everywhere, but before taking them in, you must also consider your own food reserves, otherwise you will have a big head with a small hat, and you will be frozen everywhere.Li Chongjiu looked at Wang Mahan and Tanzong, and shook his head immediately, still looking at a daze about what he said.It's okay for these two people to fight and kill, but they can't help with the internal affairs of the organization. It's hard to find such a job.

Li Chongjiu looked at them and decided to talk about something they were interested in.

"As for the [-] horses that Xi Ren gave us!" Sure enough, when they heard about the horses, Wang Mahan and Tanzong were greatly moved.

Li Chongjiu's current military force stationed in Huaihuang Town is divided into two parts, the 250 elite Escorts led by Wang Mahan, Li Chongjiu, former Shaolin disciple under Tanzong's subordinates, and [-] young and strong among the refugees.

The matriarch Shi learned that she wanted to let a hundred tribesmen join the garrison, first to show loyalty, and second, to save the current food. You must know that the Shi learned that the tribe was originally exiled here, and gave it to Li Chongjiu. After a large number of cattle and sheep, there are not many left by the tribe.The days when the room learned about it, it was also very tight.Li Chongjiu was still not at ease with the Ministry of Information, if he let the other party see through the truth of his own side, it would be a disaster.Therefore, Li Chongjiu did not agree for the time being. He wanted to wait for his strength to become stronger before formally merging the room into the Huaihuang Town system.

Three hundred horses are enough for most of his subordinates to ride on horses, but not all the horses can be used as war horses.

What Xibu can give to the Han people is not the best horses in the tribe, and there are many pack horses among them.

Li Chongjiu immediately said to Wang Mahan, Tan Zong said: "You distribute the war horses, don't have one, but pick 150 best riders, one person with two horses, one good horse, one pack horse, and the rest together. As pawns."

When Li Chongjiu said this, Tan Zong immediately said: "Brother, I don't want to be a cavalry soldier! But I want a horse to travel."

Li Chongjiu nodded, agreed, and said to Wang Mahan and Tan Zong: "Brothers will be broken up and reorganized. Brother Wang, you will lead the cavalry as the cavalry captain, and the younger brother will be the infantry captain. Lead the infantry."

Seeing Youguanzuo, Wang Mahan, and Tanzong all nodded happily.

Wang Mahan immediately said: "Young escort, since we are based on the grassland, then these brothers must have a name."

Li Chongjiu nodded. As the saying goes, the name is not right and the words are not right. The name is very important, but the calculation is very important.

Li Chongjiu decided to uphold our Great Heavenly Dynasty, a great tradition of a government with two sides.

Li Chongjiu said: "Although we are stationed in Huaihuang Town, we must not be regarded as a separatist force in the imperial court, so everyone claims to be the Huaihuang Escort of the Li Family Escort Bureau. As for the grassland tribes, the Escort Bureau's name , obviously useless, we continue as usual, wrap our heads in soap towels, and call ourselves the Cantou Army."

Note [-]: "Tang Law Volume [-]. Stable Library": The master commits suicide with horses and cattle, and he will be punished for one year.
