Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2283 Same rhythm in different places

In the simple thinking of the Qiang people, it is difficult to understand why there are such unreasonable things, and it is not clear why they are required to pay various fees, even if the fees seem so reasonable or unreasonable, abrupt or Not obtrusive.

   But in fact, this kind of thing is not just aimed at the Huangyang tribe, or the Qiang people themselves, but that the powerful will do this when facing all vulnerable groups. Just like when the Allied Forces of Eight Powers attacked Zhuangziqing, Zhuziqing didn't need the consent of the people of the whole country to sign the treaty and start paying protection fees and various expenses to the foreigners. Even in later generations, it is the same.

   In the final analysis, it is not a problem with the contract, nor is it a problem with the Eight-Nation Allied Forces, but that if you are weak, you will be beaten. If you want not to be beaten, you must become stronger!

   There are many ways to become stronger, but the rabble is obviously not one of the effective ones...

  The key is that the mob often doesn't think so.

   In the fifth year of Taixing, in July, the Qiang people in Longyou gathered again to rebel.

When the news came, it immediately caused an uproar in Guanzhong. Everyone's attention was focused on Longyou. Some people began to say that they had expected this matter, and others began to say that some people were in Longyou before. Some practices are unfair and so on.

  Of course, these discussions are just a foreshadowing. More people are still silent, and they didn’t make any sound.

   Fei potential Zuo Fengyi, after receiving the latest information, he didn't say a word, just took a pen and wrote the word "war" after the information, and asked Kuai Ma to take the letter back.

  The children of the gentry in Guanzhong looked at each other in blank dismay.

  Although there is a high probability that the hussars will still fight head-on, being so direct, even without foreplay, does make these people feel a little painful.

   Are you really afraid that Longyou will be in chaos from now on?

   And then fell into the embarrassment of Emperor Hanling?

  Especially many local officials in Longyou have been arrested and are in a relatively unstable state. Is it really a good choice to fight in such a situation?

   In case of unstable factors, and then expanded to the surrounding area, and then led to what, the Hussar General didn't even consider it?

  In the hall of General Hussar's Mansion.

  『This battle is no small matter. If Longyou falls, Guanzhong will be affected...』 Wei Duan took a quick glance at Pang Tong, and said, "If Longyou is lost and the Lord’s cause is harmed, it will be a very big matter..."

  Pang Tong smiled slightly, his black face was a little frosty, "Wei Shenlu, how do you know that we will be defeated in Longyou?" Is Zhang Wenyuan vulnerable, or is Jia Wenhe short-sighted? 』

   Wei Duan waved his hands again and again, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Pang Ling, that's not what I mean. The soldiers and generals of the hussars are all extremely brave. This is a public opinion, but... it is just as the saying goes, "Hexi is the best in the Qianghu". If the East and the West are united in one place... it's better to be more cautious, more cautious..."

   Wei Duan was full of nonsense from beginning to end. He expressed his concerns, but he didn't say anything. Don't look at it like a little daughter-in-law who is being bullied with a bitter face, but in fact, she is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. If Zhang Liao and Jia Xu win, then there is nothing wrong with Wei Duan saying some precautions. If Zhang Liao and Jia Xu fail, What Wei Duan said now is the capital for future settlement.

  Pang Tong smiled at Wei Duan twice, then turned his gaze to other people, and said loudly, "What else do you have to say?" 』

  The officials present all had solemn expressions, and no one answered for a while.

  Pang Tong stood up and said, "Send orders to all places, according to the order of the hussars, prepare for battle with all your strength!" 』

   Everyone looked at each other, and finally lowered their heads and answered.

  A single Qiang tribe is worthless in the eyes of anyone present. But if there are more Qiang tribes making trouble, it will be difficult. Just like in the later generations, it looks like a fart sporadically, but when the fart diffuses more, it becomes poisonous gas when it is connected in series, and the faces of officials up and down will turn green.

   Especially the children of the gentry in Guanzhong, they still have fresh memories of the Qiang Rebellion.

In the Han Dynasty, the "Xiqiang" issue was a very prominent social issue in the Hexi region. This issue was prominent not only because of the complex ethnic composition of Hexi, but also because of the Han Dynasty's use of Hexi as a "border area". 』Key areas for policy implementation.

   is also the experimental field...

If you look at history from the perspective of future generations, you will generally have a sense of superiority, watching a certain big man or little girl in history, uh, little girl, do this or that kind of thing, a kind of The sense of superiority of the bystanders will somewhat rise in the heart.

However, for those who live in history, everything is unknown. It is impossible for them to know what will happen in the future, and it is not clear whether what they are doing now is in line with the changes in the future, so there will inevitably be various differences. It's not because of stupidity, nor because of benzene, it's just that they can't see clearly the fog of the future.

It’s like no one in later generations expected that a new crown would tear off Ying Jiang’s underwear, revealing the dark spots under the buttocks, otherwise, at the beginning of the 21st century, many people would still think that Ying Jiang was sharp-mouthed Li, the hair on his head is shiny, a born free gentleman...

   Then in 20 years, you can laugh at those people who were in the first few years of the century as idiots or fools?

   Obviously biased.

  The same is true for the Han Dynasty.

During the Han Dynasty, there were two attitudes and methods for dealing with the Hu people. One was to expel some of the main forces of the Hu people, such as the Xiongnu; , such as the Qiang people.

  The Xiongnu is an experimental field, and the Xiqiang is another experimental field, but unfortunately, most of the crops in the two experimental fields in the Han Dynasty were not planted well.

   Expulsion of the Xiongnu was thankless, and the expulsion was barely successful, but the benefits were snatched by Xianbei, and the Han Dynasty did not control the desert.

Here in Xiqiang, because the life style of the Qiang people has actually had a lot of integration with China before the Qin Dynasty, so the Qiang people are not the same as the Xiongnu. Although the animal husbandry is still the main aspect of the Qiang people, the proportion of agriculture is obvious. is increasing.

During the process of the Qiang people's gradual entry into farming, the increase in the proportion of the agricultural economy will inevitably cause the loss of some pastures in the animal husbandry industry, prompting the herdsmen to nomadize to new areas, and the requirements of agricultural production conditions also make the farmers inevitably pursue more fertile land. Easy to cultivate land.

  The strict defense of the Han Dynasty, and even the obvious partiality when solving problems, made the Qiang people unable to express their emotions and demands, which naturally led to the resentment of the Qiang people.

First, Ling Qiang asked the Han Dynasty to allow Qi to cross the Huangshui River in the north, "to drive away the people's fields and livestock", that is to say, seeing that no one had grown grass in those lands, he asked for grazing for the Qiang people, but was rejected by the Han people. , So first Ling Qiang and later attacked the city, killed the chief officials, forcibly occupied the land, and used the method of war to achieve the goal, which was the first Ling Qiang rebellion.

If we say that in the early Han Dynasty, the policies and wars towards the Xiongnu and the Western Qiang still had the taste of safeguarding national sovereignty and protecting the territory’s tranquility, but after the Eastern Han Dynasty, various inappropriate policies and methods for the isolation and rule of the Qiang people, Corrupt local officials and all kinds of exorbitant taxes have a large degree of discrimination and oppression.

Because in the Eastern Han Dynasty, some Qiang people could no longer be regarded as foreign populations. Before Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, some Qiang people were moved to the inland by the Han Dynasty to "defend the fortress" for the Han people. Therefore, there is also a distinction between the Eastern and Western Qiang. Those living in Anding, Beidi, Shangjun, and Xihe are called the Eastern Qiang, and those living in Longxi, Hanyang, and extending beyond the Jincheng Great Wall are called the Western Qiang.

Because the Qiang people have not been fully domesticated, and it is not like ordinary Han people will explode when they really can't survive, so "they are enslaved by the powerful officials, and they accumulate sorrow and resentment", "the number is small officials The cunning sees plundering, poverty, hatred and boredom, so it leads to rebellion", "Those who belong to it are either controlled by the right hand of a powerful man, or bent by the diligence of a servant. When the time is clear, it is angry and thinks of misfortune; when the leather is moving temporarily, it is a frightened bird."

When Pang Tong and others were preparing to face the battle, although the Xiqiang people in Hexi were the first to cause trouble and rebellion, in fact, most Qiang people were not naturally vicious, and they would disturb three points if they had nothing to do. Basically, they felt the same as ordinary people. It was because I suffered a disadvantage. I wanted to find a place to be reasonable and found that there was no reason to be reasonable. I could only make a fuss, hoping that someone would hear their voices.

  So for leaders such as Beigong, it is also very important to appease the tribal leaders and ordinary Qiang people. If this battle is defeated, not only is there no way to discuss an explanation, but also whether the head of the project is still there. At the same time, these Qiang people must be forced to move to the mountains to avoid the retaliatory harm of the Han people, and the tragic day is coming again. At that time, when the young and strong are gone, what will happen to the old, young, women and children in my family? Could it be that he ran around like a jackal and was slaughtered by others?

The agitated ordinary Qiang people are young and strong, angry, and high-spirited. It is because ordinary Qiang people only want to appeal their own grievances, protect their own land, protect their families, and protect what is in their hearts Hope, but for the Qiang headmen, especially some older Qiang headmen, their thoughts are not so simple, they think more about their own lives and interests.

  The yellow sheep head man jumped up and shouted angrily, "Why don't you speak?" We were able to fight **** battles with the Han people back then, why can’t we fight **** battles with this tricolor Han people today? Could it be that if I obediently paid the money this time, there will be no next time? What kind of person will come here today to charge us land fees, maybe another one will come tomorrow to collect grassland fees, and what will happen after that? Are you willing to drag the cattle and sheep that you have worked so hard to be dragged away by the Han people one by one? Where is your blood? Where is your courage? 』

  The more the yellow sheep head man talked, the more annoyed he became, he suddenly drew out the saber at his waist, chopped it on the felt blanket in front of him, and fell deeply into it, "Who wants to quit? speak out! 』

  The atmosphere in the big tent suddenly became tense.

  With this posture, who can say what to quit?

   Afraid they would be cut off if they didn't just speak, so some people didn't speak, but turned to look at Beigong.

  Beigong and Huangyangtouren have actually swayed from side to side for a period of time. It's just that the two people's hesitations are not the same, but right now, the interests of the two have overlapped to some extent, and naturally they have reached a consensus.

  For the yellow sheep head man, the purpose is more to eliminate exorbitant donations and miscellaneous expenses, especially the death of Zeng Dahu, which made him uneasy, wondering if he would be implicated because of it...

  As far as Bei Gong is concerned, what he is worried about is that after his outer circle forces are eliminated, it will be his turn next. Instead of sitting and waiting to die, it is better to strike first...

  But on the surface, both of them are speaking for the future of the Qiang people in the same way...

"it is good! This is the warrior of our Qiang people! Bei Gong said loudly, "We have fought with the Han people for hundreds of years, we have won and lost, but we have never flinched!" Our opposition to the three-color Han people this time is also for our own sons and daughters, and for the future of our Qiang people! Our past warriors fought for us! Our current warriors are fighting for our future children and grandchildren! 』

Beigong stood up and drew out his saber, "This battle is not for me alone, nor for any of you here, but for our future, for all of us Qiang people." future! 』

  『So this battle must be won! If anyone backs down in this battle, I will never be soft-hearted, and I will definitely kill him! 』

  …(^ω^)…

   On the other side, the Dingling people also confirmed Cao Jun's military operations against the northern part of Youzhou through various methods, which made them feel the crisis was coming, and then launched a more ferocious attack.

  If Cao Jun successfully recovered all parts of Youzhou, wiped out or incorporated the remnants of Gongsun, and drove them out of Youzhou, then no matter how hard Dingling put in, they might not be able to take Youzhou. After all, siege of a city is different from fighting in the grassland and desert, the more people defending the city, the harder it is to fight.

  Although Gongsundu has repeatedly stated that he still has people in Youzhou, and he can even contact some people from Liaodong, but the leader of the Dingling people believes that the Han people are the Han people. Who knows whether these people will change their minds, or rely on themselves.

The Ding Ling people assembled and began to attack vigorously. The leader of Ding Ling collected the news from various ministries, and then confirmed that Cao Jun's troops were not as large as they had shown before, which made some Ding Ling people who had been deceived by Cao Jun before be furious. He just talked about Cao Jun's shamelessness, wishing he could drag Cao Jun up and down the next moment and hack him to death.

  Compared to the Han people with the tricolor flag, the Dingling people did not value Cao Jun much. This is not to say that the Dingling people think that Cao Jun has no combat effectiveness, but that compared with the power of the Han Chinese cavalry with the tricolor flag on the grassland, Cao Jun is naturally a lower-level opponent.

  Now there are no Han people with tricolor flags in Youzhou, so what are you afraid of?

After Ding Lingren saw through Cao Hong's suspicious strategy, Cao Hong's limited force could not withstand the tide-like tide of troops. In addition, some counties in the northern part of Youzhou had almost exhausted their defenses and reserves. Seven or eight, especially at the beginning, some important passes in Youbei were not in the hands of Cao Jun, which made it very difficult for Cao Hong to defend. He had to abandon some counties that he had just acquired and withdraw his troops.

The Ding Ling people quickly captured some counties in the northern part of Youzhou, including Yuyang, and opened up the communication lines between western and eastern Liaoning, and rescued Gongsun Kang who was on the verge of death. However, Liu Yimo was captured by Cao Jun and died …

  In Yuyang City.

  『This time, we have a total of 50,000 horses... 』The leader of the Ding Lingren looked around and said in a deep voice, 『At present, according to our estimation, there are at most 3,000 Han troops left in the Cao army in Jixian County. Tomorrow, we will gather all our forces to attack in an all-round way, and the main attack direction will be in Ji County. As long as we take it down, the northern part of Youzhou is basically ours. 』

  The commander-in-chief glanced at Gongsundu slightly, because many internal news of the big man came from Gongsundu. Including these geographical mountains and rivers, important towns and passes, etc., are basically the information provided by Gongsun Du.

   It is precisely because of this that Gongsun Du has somewhat improved his status in the Dingling Army.

  From a dispensable dog to a somewhat useful dog.

  At this very moment, Gongsundu showed a six-teeth smile to meet the gaze of Chief Ding Ling, as if he would do so even if Chief Ding Ling asked him to stick up his **** in the next moment.

Of course, Gongsun Du lost a lot of money in this military operation, and it can even be said that the loss was quite large, so Gongsun Du coughed lightly, saluted Ding Ling, then smiled and said to the other Ding Ling leaders : "Once you take Jixian, you can consider whether to divide your troops to go south, or continue to go south together... To the south of Jixian, there are Anci, Yongnu, Quanzhou and other counties in the east, and in the west there are Liangxiang, Zhuoxian, Fangcheng, etc. Wait, they are all good places...」

"It's my personal suggestion. After fighting Ji County, it's better to divide the troops. Each person is divided into a county..." Gongsun Du smiled, "After all, it's July now. If we fight over one by one, it will be too slow. Wait till the end of the fight." Later, Cao Jun may have finished harvesting the surrounding Zhuanghe, so...』

  『Hmmm! Marquis Gudu made a good arrangement, how about letting you arrange everything? 』

   Commander Ding Ling suddenly coughed, and Gongsun Du's expression changed immediately, and then he put on a more humble posture and lay down on the ground, saying that he didn't dare.

  The leaders of Ding Ling in the big tent looked at me one after another, and then laughed.

  『Let’s talk about the future later! Ding Ling said in a deep voice, "Right now, we need to take down Ji County first!" Everyone, go back immediately and arrange preparations. Tomorrow morning, we will march together! 』
