Farmer of Shu Han

"All the tribes here have sent their men?"

The bald-haired Tianli grasped this point very keenly, and the disappointment appeared on his face just right.

"So, I'm afraid it will be a big battle, and I don't know when the road will be clear."

The leader of the Xiaoyuehu tribe also seemed to have some sympathy for the other party.

In his half-baked Chinese, he suggested: "From here to the north, you can also go to the place of the Han people. Maybe you can get what you want there."

The bald man thanked the other party for his guidance and left with the people.

The leader looked at the young man's lonely back, smacked his lips, and shook his head.

This seemingly ambitious young man must have heard others say that Longyou has precious wool, so he rushed down from the high mountain in the west to trade.

Maybe he sold all the cattle and sheep in the clan to save enough things.

If it's a waste of time, I'm afraid the clan will not be able to live on, and it may even be annexed by others.

Bald Tianli led the people back to the camp before dark, and the tribe behind him had already followed.

After resting all night, it was just dawn, and all the young and strong men in the bald-haired department had already mounted their horses.

The weather in the early morning was very cold, the breath of everyone exhaled was white, and the cold wind blew on the face and hands like a knife.

But for the bald people who migrated thousands of miles and starved to death of many tribesmen, this is not a difficulty.

Four thousand elite riders are already the entire strength of the bald department.

They were divided into three groups, with 1,000 people on the left and right sides for outflanking, preventing the tribes in front from escaping, and at the same time cooperating with the side attack in the middle.

The two thousand people along the way in the middle are the main force of the charge.

The bald man stood up and led the people, and ordered loudly: "Go!"

The hoofs moved like thunder, and the cavalry split into three and began to gallop forward.

The tents of the Xiaoyuehu tribe began to appear in front of them.

In this weather, apart from the barking of dogs, there was not much movement in the camp.

Even sheep slaves huddled in the sheepfold, hugging the sheep to keep warm.

The faint shaking of the ground finally made a sheep slave who was so cold that he couldn't sleep all night feel that something was wrong.

The dogs outside began to bark, and then the whole tribe of dogs followed suit.

Then someone was cursing, as if awakened by the barking of the dog, and wanted to get up and let go of the water in the body.

Finally, a shrill cry came.

A dense line of soldiers began to appear outside the tribe, and the vibration of the ground became more and more obvious.

Although the sky is not yet full light, just by hearing the sound, one can tell that a large number of cavalry are approaching.

Xiaoyuehu's tribal camp became noisy, and many people didn't know what happened, so they ran out of the camp to see what happened.

But the bald-haired cavalry had already rushed in front of them, and they rushed directly into the camp without the slightest intention of staying.

The leader of the Xiaoyuehu tribe walked out of the house in disheveled clothes. Before he could see the situation outside clearly, a tall black shadow rushed in front of him.

Then he felt himself flying high, overlooking the entire camp.

Countless cavalry rushed through the outer tents and came to the houses made of mud.

Many people began to dismount, kicked open the door with their weapons in hand, and broke in.

Most of the elite members of the clan were sent to Didao's side, and there was no way to resist this unknown enemy, so they could only let them wreak havoc everywhere.

As soon as the tribal leader thought of this, his head floating in the sky fell to the ground...

The long knife in Bald Tianli's hand was bloody. It was given to him by Feng Langjun himself when he made the White Horse Alliance with Feng Langjun a few years ago.

Very sharp, easy to use, and a rare treasure.

He has always cherished it and regarded it as a treasure.

The sun rose and the mist lifted.

The one-sided slaughter stopped.

In the beginning of spring, the ice and snow had begun to melt, coupled with the sprinkling of blood, and the trampling of horseshoes back and forth, the ground in the camp of the Xiaoyuehu tribe was a bit muddy.

The Ministry of Baldness is cheering.

Batches of cattle and sheep, thousands of women, and food hidden in the house are enough for them to enjoy for a long time.

More importantly, this tribe is not young and strong at all, so they have almost no resistance to their sudden attack.

A smile appeared on the bald-haired lonely weather-beaten face.

I saw him stand up and said to the bald man: "Tu Gu, your suggestion is correct. As long as we loot a few more tribes like this, we don't have to worry about not having enough food, cattle and sheep this year."

The bald-haired man's face was full of unstoppable excitement: "My lord, I've already asked. Most of the tribes here have sent people to besiege Didao."

"It's now the city of the Wei people, and they don't have time to come back at this time. So we have enough time to continue to the north and loot those miscellaneous beards who don't have strong protection."

"By the time Didao's miscellaneous beards come back, we'll have already driven their cattle, sheep and women away."

Hearing this, the people next to him couldn't help but said, "Master Shao, why don't we just defeat them and then graze here?"

The bald head shook his head and said: "Our bald head department is not strong enough now. I heard that there are more than 30,000 people besieging Didao, and we only have 4,000 people. We can't beat them."

The bald-haired Pi said thoughtfully: "Now they are only united for a while, and when they fail to attack Didao, they will naturally disperse."

"At that time, we might try to defeat them one by one."

The bald-haired Tianli's eyes lit up: "My lord is right, so we need to continue to wait for the opportunity."

"What if Didao is captured?"

Another possibility was suggested.

"That doesn't matter." Bald Tian stood up and said confidently, "Even if the miscellaneous Hu can occupy Didao, it's just taking advantage of the opportunity when the Wei people are fighting with the Han people."

"Longyou has been occupied by the Han people. I happen to know a nobleman of the Han people. I will go to the east to find out."

"According to what the Han people have done in the past, it is absolutely impossible for them to let the miscellaneous beards occupy the city. At that time, we can promise to help the Han people, maybe we can also get some benefits from the Han people."

When we first moved to Xihai, didn't we help the people of Wei, so we were able to gain a foothold there?

Bald Pigu naturally knew who the noble person Bald Tianli was talking about was.

Immediately, he said worriedly: "You haven't seen that Feng Langjun for several years, how can you find him?"

"Don't worry, my lord. Feng Langjun once told me that if you can't find him in Ju County, then go to Hanzhong Nanxiang. If you can't find him in Hanzhong Nanxiang, then go to Fengzhuang in Jincheng."

"At that time, I only need to go to those places to inquire, and I will naturally know his whereabouts."

After discussing with the main leaders of the Bald Hair Department, they also assigned people to go to the east, paying attention to guarding against the main force of Di Daozahu coming back, and then they dispersed.

After a while, only a woman's exclamation was heard in everyone's tent.

Longxi Yanhan and Qianghu in the Heguan area joined forces to besiege Didao, initially to plunder some food and property.

In the end, seeing that the momentum was getting bigger and bigger, the people of Wei didn't intend to send reinforcements, so some people put forward slogans, wanting to re-establish Heshou and Ping Hanwang.

Just as they were getting more daring, a certain guy surnamed Feng in the east was planning to bypass Taoshui and steal their lair after the beginning of spring.

Unexpectedly, before he could make a move, the bald-haired department had already crossed the big river, took the first step, and rushed directly into the area of ​​Yanhan in Longxi, burning, killing and looting.

The strong Qianghu tribe in Didao is like a lamb that has been skinned, enjoying delicious food with bald hair.

Contrary to the extremely excited bald hair department, in a small courtyard in Guzang County, Wuwei County, Liangzhou, the atmosphere was a bit depressing.

Liangzhou prefect Xu Miao hurriedly walked across the vestibule and into the inner courtyard.

Under the leadership of the servant, enter a room.

The room was filled with a strong smell of medicinal soup.

I saw a person lying on the couch, it was Hao Zhao.

"Bodao! What's wrong with you, Bodao?"

Xu Miao hurried forward, bent down, and asked in a low voice.

Hao Zhao, who was lying on the couch, heard someone calling, opened his eyes with difficulty, and looked at Xu Miao with somewhat dull eyes.

I saw that his face was pale, his eyes were still bloodshot, and his lips were cracked due to long-term dryness.

"It's Mr. Ming..."

Hao Zhao's lips moved.

"How did this happen? How did you become so ill all of a sudden?"

Seeing his appearance, Xu Miao said anxiously.

A few days ago, there was news from Xiping that Hao Zhao was ill and wanted to go to Wuwei to recuperate, but within a few days, he became seriously ill.

Xu Miao was really caught off guard.

"Now the Shu captives are powerful, the Qiang and Hu are changing, and Liangzhou is uneasy. The general has been in Hexi for a long time. Just when I need the general's help, why did the general suddenly fall down?"

Xu Miao held Hao Zhao's hand and said sadly.

Hao Zhao coughed a few times with difficulty: "Fate is unpredictable, and number is unpredictable. A certain general has been a general for a long time, but knowing the general will be difficult."

"For more than ten years in a certain town in the west of Hexi, the Qiang rebellion has been suppressed repeatedly. Although it is a national affair, there are countless people who have been killed by mistake. Not to mention digging up tombs several times and taking their wood as weapons for attack."

"Last year when I led Liangzhou's children to the expedition, due to a certain mistake, only four or five out of ten returned. I really feel guilty."

"In the past few days, I have often dreamed that the wronged soul is taking my life. This is probably the retribution for what I did in the past."

When Xu Miao heard this, he quickly comforted him: "Bo Daomo wants to have such thoughts, I will send someone to find a good doctor, even if I search all over Liangzhou, I will cure you."

Hao Zhao smiled wryly: "I know that my life is near the end, and the governor doesn't need to waste manpower and financial resources. Now that Liangzhou is in trouble, the ones the governor should pay full attention to are the Shu captives in the east."

"If someone who is about to die is involved in state affairs, even if someone goes underground, it will be uneasy."

Speaking of this, Hao Zhao seemed to have regained some strength, and his face also had a smile: "Now that Liangzhou is cut off from China, Ming Gong should be thinking about expelling the Shu captives and returning to China."

"Otherwise, the longer the time passes, the Shu captives will watch from the sidelines, and the Hu people will be disturbed. I'm afraid Liangzhou will not last long."

Seeing Hao Zhao's appearance, Xu Miao had no choice but to follow his words.

"I know it! It's just that I've only been in Liangzhou for a year, so I don't know everything. Bodao has been guarding Hexi for more than ten years. I wonder if he can teach me something?"

"Since Minggong came to Liangzhou, opened canals, plowed the fields, won the hearts of the people, subdued the Qiang Hu, and took his own measures. How could he dare to teach Minggong? What I can mention is just a few foolish opinions."

"Bodao, please tell me."

Hao Zhao became more and more energetic: "Duke Ming, there are only two ways for the Shu captives to enter Liangzhou. One is from Nan'an to Yuzhong, and the other is to enter Jincheng and Xiping via Di Dao."

"How difficult is it to resist the Shu people with a single state? Apart from contacting Guanzhong in the east so that the Shu people can't easily move the whole country to the west, it is also necessary to borrow the strength of the Qiang Hu."

"The Qiang rebellion in Longxi, I haven't sent troops to put down the rebellion for a long time. One is that Liangzhou has insufficient troops, and the other is that we want to use the Qiang and Hu as a barrier to prevent the Shu captives from entering Liangzhou from Di Dao."

As Hao Zhao said, his eyes began to light up: "As long as the Qiang Hu breaks Di Dao, the Shu captives must put down the Qiang chaos before they can come from there."

"So after me, Duke Ming can order Jincheng to guard the generals, just stick to Jincheng Xiping, and don't enter Longxi easily. If the Shu captives dare to enter Didao easily, we will wait for the opportunity to attack them."

Xu Miao nodded and said, "I've made a note. Except for Bodao, is there anyone available in Liangzhou?"

"There are many generals in Liangzhou, as long as Mr. Ming pays more attention, will he not be able to find someone who can be used?"

Hao Zhao replied, "General Lu Pan killed Kouying together with a certain person last year, and Ming Gong can order him to guard Xiping. Zhang Gong, the captain of Wuji in the Western Regions, his son Zhang Jiu, and his younger brother Zhang Hua are all famous in the west. state."

"Nowadays there is a great enemy in the east, and there is no connection with China. The Duke of Ming can act in a hurry and send him back to the east with the order of the governor, so as to prevent the Shu captives from advancing westward."

Xu Miao was overjoyed: "If Bo Dao didn't mention Zhang Gong, I would almost forget that there is still a loyal family in Xizhou."

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the right side of the river was disturbed, and the isolation was impossible. Ma Ai, the prefect of Dunhuang, died in his post, and there was no prefect in the house. Zhang Gongnai is a meritorious Cao, known for his learning and practice, and the county people promote long history.

Zhang Gongnai sent his son Zhang Jiu to go east to see Emperor Wu, and he wanted to ask Emperor Wu to send a new prefect to take office in Dunhuang.

At that time, Qu Yan in Xiping County, Huang Hua in Jiuquan County, and Zhang Jin in Zhangye County rebelled in an attempt to unite with Dunhuang County. Therefore, Huang Hua mobilized Zhang Jiu on the way, intending to force Zhang's father and son to submit.

Zhang vowed not to obey, so he sent people to secretly believe in Zhang Gong:

My lord governs Dunhuang County, and his loyalty is shown to the world. How can he change his original intention just because his son is in trouble?

Now that the imperial army will arrive here soon, my lord should lead his troops to contain Huang Hua from behind.

I hope that the father will not miss the affairs of the state because of such little love as his son. This will only make his son hate the world.

After Zhang Gong received Zhang Jiu's letter, he immediately sent his younger brother Zhang Hua to attack Shatou and Qianqi counties in Jiuquan.

He personally led the army to follow up with him.

Another 200 armored cavalrymen and officials from Dunhuang were sent along the North Fortress of Jiuquan, out of Zhangye Beihe to the east, to meet the new prefect.

Zhang Jin of Zhangye was attacked by Hao Zhao and others. Jiuquan Huanghua tried to rescue him, but he was worried that Zhang Gong's troops in the west would attack the rear, so he had to surrender in a dilemma.

Zhang also saved his life because of this.

The three members of the Zhang family were all rewarded.

Hao Zhao cooperated with Zhang Gong from east to west and quelled the chaos in the three counties of Liangzhou, so he was naturally impressed by the three members of the Zhang family.

Xu Miao recalled this old incident, so he said that the Zhang family is a loyal family in Xizhou.

"It's just Bodao, the Zhang family is a wealthy family in Dunhuang County. When Emperor Wen recruited Zhang Gong into the court and granted him the position of courtier, Zhang Gong resigned because of illness and stayed in Dunhuang."

But Xu Miao mentioned one thing, "This is the inherent style of Liangzhou people, but I don't know if this person can really entrust him with important tasks?"

Hao Zhao let out a long sigh: "Duke Ming, Liangzhou is in danger now. If the Shu captives go west, Liangzhou will suffer from war."

"And now in China, the Great Wei is the orthodox, and the people of Shu are no more than captives. How could Zhang Gong not understand this?"

"At that time, the Duke of Ming will add more information about the advantages and disadvantages. The Shu captives are only the eleventh of the Wei Dynasty. In the future, the army of millions in the Kanto will sweep the Shu captives in Longyou and reunite with Liangzhou."

"It is precisely because Zhang Gong has the style of Liangzhou people, so as long as the Great Wei is still stronger than the Shu captives, the Zhang family will know how to choose."
