I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 311: Renovation in Hanzhong and another battle in Hexi ([-])

The Xianling Dynasty in the North, which had caused a lot of trouble to the Han Dynasty within a few years of its establishment, disappeared in front of Liu Long.

The current nominal leader of Xianling, Lingchang, also changed back to his own name, Diao Lingchang.

Of course, maybe he was called Diao Lingchang from the beginning, but Liu Long didn't know it before.

But this is no longer important. No matter it is called Ling Chang or Diao Ling Chang, it cannot change that he has no chance to resist.

Faced with this young and ambitious guy, Liu Long did not break his promise and killed him directly, and even rejected Yu Xu's proposal.
"This little Diao Lingchang is nothing more than that. Although he is somewhat ambitious, he is too young, lacks strength, and does not have enough prestige.

If you want to achieve something successful, it will take a long time.

Of course, the most important thing is what if he really has the time?
If I can destroy him once, I can destroy him a second time.

It's not that I'm careless and arrogant, but that now I can kill him, Diao Lingchang, but I can't kill all the countless Qiang and Hu people on this grassland and desert!

These Qiang and Hu people are different from me, a big man. Maybe we have the same background, but they have the ability to make a name for themselves in this desert even if they have nothing.

Incompetent people, no matter how good their life experience is, are just waiting to die.

The great advantage is also other people's wedding clothes.

Therefore, killing him will not bring any benefit to me except that it will make me bear the name of treachery and make the Qiang Hu, who has finally returned to his heart, betray me again.

On the contrary, I have seen the root of such idiots.

Even if he has thoughts that he shouldn't have again, it's nothing more than that. It's better for me, a big man, to deal with a fool who knows the basics than to deal with a hero who came out of the humble.

What's more, by keeping him, I can also use him to constantly calm the anger of the Qiang and Hu, so that the Qiang and Hu can truly join my land of great men.

Why not do this? "

Liu Long's words made Yu Xu smile bitterly and shake his head. He didn't say anything more.

At this time, Liu Long could handle these things very well, which was also due to Yu Xu.

After confirming these things, Liu Long also began to make a series of arrangements for Qiang Hu, Hanzhong, and others.

"People like Qiang and Hu should not be dealt with casually. Ban Xiong is mature and prudent, and he has good abilities.

It was not easy for the Ban family back then. They were quite capable of managing foreign tribes, and they also understood the principle of giving both kindness and power.

Ban Xiong of Jingzhao was temporarily ordered to take charge of this matter, and many Qiang and Hu tribes headed by Xianling Qiang and Hu were scattered in the Jingzhao area of ​​Sanfu, as well as several counties in Hanoi, Hedong, Xihe and Shangdang.

The grain, grass and baggage should be allocated by the imperial court and stabilized as soon as possible. Don't miss the dredging of the river after the Winter Festival and the land reclamation next year! "

"The people's livelihood in Hanzhong was withered during this battle. Although Deng Cheng, the governor of Hanzhong, was excusable, he was still suspected of running away from the battle.

He was ordered to be dismissed from his position as the prefect of Hanzhong and ordered to return home immediately without delay!

This order is sent to Luoyang for the imperial court to use the seal without delay. "

"I appointed Yu Xu as the prefect of Hanzhong for the time being, and Ma Xu as the captain of Hanzhong. They temporarily settled in Hanzhong, pacified the remaining Qiang and Hu, stabilized the people, and wiped out the bandits. I appointed Yu Xu as the censor Zhongcheng to patrol the land of Yizhou in the southwest. Along the way, there were corrupt officials who violated the law, or unscrupulous merchants who hoarded money.

You can kill it first!

In addition, Ma Xu will be the main one to dredge the water veins in Hanzhong and repair the Tianchi! "

After Liu Long put down the Qiang and Hu rebellion, he did not return to the court immediately. Instead, he took advantage of this opportunity to directly start drastic reforms in the entire southwest and northwest.

The two most important things were Yu Xu's inspection of the East and West Rivers, and the repair of the Hanzhong Waterway to completely open the road between Hanzhong and the northwest!

This battle also made Liu Long completely understand the truth. This big man not only had many internal problems, but also had many problems in this region.

He must quickly find a way to solve these things, otherwise things will get bigger and bigger
Things that Liu Long or the court had not discovered before, now he could see clearly.

Why are the Qiang and Hu so keen on entering the Southwest?

Because as long as they enter the southwest, they are really safe.

Although this group of Qiang and Hu also knew that it was probably a foolish dream to enter Xichuan and completely occupy this corner of the southwest.

But they don't need to do this. They only need to enter Hanzhong and block the Long Road and other roads, and this matter can be solved.

Because in the past hundred years or hundreds of years, the southwest has been completely cut off from the northwest and even part of the Han Dynasty!
When Empress Lu was in power, there was a major earthquake that was recorded in one sentence. It not only caused a certain genius who was born more than a hundred years later to finally fail in a corner of the southwest, leaving behind an eternal tragedy.

It completely changed Hanzhong.

Things that Liu Long didn't care about before have not changed now.

The great earthquake that year directly caused the Hanshan Mountains to slide, causing the Han River to change its course. Tianchi was also filled in by God, and the water flow in Guanzhong and Hanzhong was completely cut off.

From then on, the waterway was no longer accessible to large ships. There was water in Wu, but it was impossible to sail. There was a road in Chencang, but it was difficult to reach the sky.

When Liu Long first discovered this problem, he immediately invited the old man from Hanzhong in and asked him what was going on in Hanzhong.

Did the big earthquake that year really have such devastating consequences?
But how do ordinary old farmers know about such things, and the continuous fighting over the years has also severely damaged Hanzhong's vitality.

At the beginning, the Qiang and Hu suddenly broke out, which directly led to the failure of the Hanzhong gate and the death of the prefect Dong Bing.

After that, the imperial court immediately ordered Zheng Xi to succeed Dong Bing as the prefect of Hanzhong. As a result, Dong Bing died without any ability, and Zheng Xi was worse than Dong Bing.

As soon as he entered Hanzhong, he immediately wanted to clear his name. Regardless of other people's dissuasion, he led his troops directly when the Qiang and Hu came, stationed troops in the land of praise, and fought to the death with the Qiang and Hu.

He has the integrity, but he doesn't have the ability.

At the beginning, there were many celebrities and capable people in Hanzhong, and Duan Chong, the chief secretary, was one of them. He persuaded him several times that he would not lose the city now and take the people back into the city.

As long as the walls are strong and the country is clear, these Qiang and Hu people will have no chance to cause rebellion, and they can hold on until the imperial court comes and besiege them in Hanzhong.

Duan Chong, the bookkeeper, has good abilities and strategies, but it's a pity that Zheng Xi refuses to obey.

The final result was another major defeat. Chief Duan Chong and his disciples Shi Wangzong, Yuan Zhan, Chong Zibo, brother Bo Sheng and others also died in the battle to protect the guy.
