Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 281 Wang Situ ([-])
Four years later

Winter of the Sixth Year of Yanxi

Gaoxianting City
The wind was howling, the sun was about to set, and many Huns came from afar.

"Enemy attack! Prepare to fight!"

clang clang-

The Yiqian Xiangyong on the city wall was awakened, and quickly picked up their crossbows, ready to defend the city.

Because they want to save money and don't want to raise soldiers for the court, the prefect's mansion disbanded all the county soldiers, and directly asked the three major families to recruit Xiangyong to guard the city.

The difference between Xiangyong and Junbing is that if it is Xiangyong, in case the prefect becomes an outsider one day, the three major families can still control powerful armed forces; if it is a county soldier, in case the prefect becomes an outsider someday However, the three major families will be threatened by the armed forces of outsiders instead.

In the huge Liaodong County, only 50 county soldiers were kept in total, which were specially used to defend the prefect's mansion.

The rest are private soldiers and village braves of the three major families.

Private soldiers can only be mobilized by their respective families, while Xiangyong is raised by the three major families and mobilized by the three major families.

There are a total of 2000 Xiangyong in Liaodong, of which 1000 are stationed in Gaoxianting City, which is dedicated to guarding against grassland nomads; 400 are stationed in Jinting City, which is dedicated to guarding against Goguryeo; In Lieshuiting City, prevent the Goguryeo people from entering the Korean Plain.

In order to prevent the prairie people from entering Liaodong, the three major families spent decades, 60 billion yuan, and countless manpower and material resources to make Gaoxianting City and its vicinity indestructible.

The defense of Gaoxianting City was continuously strengthened. At the same time, in order to prevent the Huns from directly bypassing Gaoxianting City and entering the hinterland of Eastern Liaodong, the plains and farmland near Gaoxianting City were artificially transformed into impassable swamps by the three major families.

If the grassland people wanted to enter Liaodong on a large scale, they could only attack Gaoxianting City by force. However, Gaoxianting City was well-defended, with thousands of crossbows and a Liaohe River that could provide food and grass.

It is naturally possible to go around into the hinterland of Liaodong from the nearby Yanshan Mountain or the hills of Liaodong, but it is impossible to pass large troops through the mountain trails.

Such a small number of people have to face thousands of elite cavalry from the three major families on the open and open Liaohe Plain.

The Shanhaiguan Pass built by the three major families blocked the Liaoxi Corridor from Liaodong to the Central Plains. The passage from Liaodong to the grassland was also artificially transformed into a swamp, and the passage from Liaodong to Goguryeo was also blocked by three fortified cities. Royal Fleet.

The entire Liaodong has formed a closed space like an iron barrel. It is difficult for both the forces of the Central Plains and the barbarians to enter Liaodong. It is even more difficult to capture Liaodong than the Shu Road!
The weakest link in Liaodong is the Donglai area, because it directly borders the Central Plains, and there are no major passes or dangerous mountains and rivers to block it, it is easy to be captured by the Central Plains forces.

However, the original intention of the Wang family to incorporate Donglai County was just to have an additional population warehouse.

The population is stored in the Dongnae area, ready to be shipped overseas at any time.

The advantage of this is that if there is a civil uprising due to too many people gathered, the influence can also be controlled in the Donglai area, so as not to spread to the mainland of Liaodong, and there is no need to worry about sudden loss of population due to lack of reserve population. People can be transported.

After all, if the population is stored in Liaodong, if rebels like Hongyan Dao get mixed in, it will easily make the whole Liaodong go crazy.

Therefore, for the Wang family, the entire Donglai County is just a warehouse for storing excess population!

"We are not here to attack the city. It is the Xianbei people who are going south. We are not opponents. We want to take refuge in Liaodong." Under the wall of Gaoxianting City, a Chinese-speaking nobleman among the distressed Southern Huns begged: "Please send us Putting it into Liaodong, we are willing to become a vassal of Liaodong and fight for Liaodong."

The guards were the children of the three major families, and they discussed whether to let the Huns in.

"It would be a pity if we don't let so many consumables in as slaves for us! And they bring so many livestock, tsk tsk!" said the Wang family's children. The Wang family's demand for consumables is the largest among the three major families. Hundreds of thousands of millions of consumables can be consumed by the Wang family.

"These Huns are extremely treacherous. What if they enter the city and are out of control and suddenly attack us? Don't take risks!" The children of the Zhang family who are closest to the Southern Huns persuaded. Their family is too close to the Huns. So I am very worried that the Huns will make trouble.

"It can be like this. We send people out of the city and tie them up for these Huns. Only the Huns who have their hands and feet tied can enter the city as slaves for us. The rest of the Huns can only be corpses outside the city. After they die, they will be dragged into the city. Come, and ship it back to the hinterland of Liaodong to extract oil." The Li family's children suggested this.

"You can't go out of the city directly. If the Huns attack when we open the city gate, it will be over." The Zhang family continued to remind: "We can use ropes to let the envoys down from the city wall, and let the Huns attack by themselves." Tie yourself up, and then use ropes to hang those bound Huns to the city wall as slaves, and only those who are tied firmly after being inspected by the messenger can go to the city wall as slaves."

"That makes sense." The Wang family's children were persuaded and nodded with a smile.

Almost every city is configured like this. The three major families each send a family member, and a total of three people control a city.

Subsequently, the children of the three major families informed the Huns under the city wall of the disposal method discussed.

"What are you talking about? Let us tie ourselves up and hang us up to the city wall with ropes?!" The Hun nobleman who could speak Chinese was furious. This distrusted them to the extreme and treated them like livestock.

"We the Huns gave you so many livestock in Liaodong, and now we are in trouble, but you are not willing to lend a helping hand?" The nobles of the Southern Huns were so angry that they wept: "Everyone is a courtier of the Han Dynasty, why? Do you want to die?"

The children of the three major families ignored the angry reprimand of the Xiongnu nobles, but just reminded the villagers to be careful of the Huns attacking the city in anger.

After a stalemate for a long time, most of the Huns left here and went to Liaoxi County and Yuyang County to find a way out in these two relatively weakly defended areas, and plundered the local Han people along the way.

The reason why Liaodong was chosen at the beginning was also because there was fine wine in Liaodong, and they wanted to come in and rob the fine wine by the way.

Now that Liaodong is so cautious, he can only give up.

However, there were also a small number of Huns who chose to tie themselves up, and then obediently hung on the city wall, and became slaves of the three major families ever since.

After all, the Xianbei people have been chasing after them, so they have no choice.

A large number of Huns continued to migrate to the south of the Great Wall under the continuous harassment of the Xianbei, trying to rely on the Great Wall of the Han Dynasty to avoid the sharp edge of the Xianbei.

Once upon a time, the Great Wall was used by the Han people to guard against the Huns, but now it is used by the Huns to guard against the Xianbei.

During the continuous southward migration of the Huns, large-scale Han-Hungarian conflicts occurred in Liaoxi County, Yuyang County, Shanggu County, and Dai County.

The aborigines of the Han people had conflicts with the newly immigrated Huns, and they often fought violently.

In this process, many young heroes gained fame by fighting against the Xiongnu, such as Gongsun Zan in western Liaoning.
