Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 692
Although the two Hans were separated by so many decades, Wang Hou really admired the Western Han, and was particularly depressed about the Eastern Han. The aristocratic families that were suppressed throughout the Western Han all rose up in the Eastern Han, transforming the Han Empire, which was originally based on the peasant economy. It became a weak central empire of feudal gentry manor owners. There is a reason why the entire Kanto fell apart as soon as the power of the central court weakened at the end of the Han Dynasty.

There is also Liu Xiu's ethnic policy. It is not a bad thing to place Jianghu in the Han area, but in the later stage you have to educate them and assimilate them!More than 100 years ago in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu gave up the prairie and took root in Hetao, the Qiang people occupied the Loess Plateau, and the Qiang Jiedi tribe invaded half of Liangzhou. This tormented the Central Plains, and the riots of the Jie people planted the root of the disaster.

Now it's his turn, Wang Hou, to deal with this ticking time bomb in the Han Empire!
And the solution!Although it sounds a bit xenophobic, but Wang Hou still intends to follow the form and method of a Western military strongman he admires!That man is Caesar!

Tens of thousands of Roman legions went to Gaul, killing 100 million people!One million people were sold as slaves!With only 100 million people left, the proud and warlike Gaul rooster became a province of the Roman Empire, and the Gauls still worshiped Caesar as a god!
Aren't you going to start a war against Lao Tzu?Then I will have a good fight with you!
Look for the mountains and forests to hide during the day, and march at night. The earth is fair. The Guanzhong Plain has no good defense against the Eastern Qiang entrenched on the Loess Plateau. For three nights, more than [-] troops sneaked into the Loess Plateau like ghosts.

It has to be said that the ecology of the Loess Plateau more than 1000 years ago was much stronger than that of later generations. The vegetation covering the Loess Plateau was not destroyed too much by the expanding population, and the rainfall did not wash out the ravines of later generations. The bare barren hills, although there are also valleys, are not like the desolation of the loess high slopes in those photographs.

Moreover, it seems to be somewhat different from the nomadic Dongqiang in Wang Hou's imagination.

Relying on the towering loess cliff, the hollows, although rough, are very similar to the cave dwellings of later generations, digging on it like termite piles, and neat trails have been trampled out in the village.

It is true that the Qiang people raise livestock, and they rely on the village not far away. Large herds of cattle and sheep are tied to the gate of the fence. But at the same time, their arable land is not small. In the low and flat place below the village where cave dwellings gather, large tracts of farmland are scattered. That said, the crop had already been harvested in October, and messy millet stubble piled up everywhere.

It's no wonder that the Huns who occupied the entire grassland had a population of more than 100 million in their heyday, but there were more than 100 million in the heyday of the Western Qiang and the Eastern Qiang, and now there are 70 million. After Duan Yubai in the Eastern Han Dynasty killed the gods and famous generals, the remaining ones were massacred, and the Qiang people here are not all Qiang people. There are still nomadic Qiang people on the Qinghai prairie. Wang Hou also read some classics. In the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Nearly 50 Qiang people were relocated into Shu.

Closely relying on nomadic herding, it is impossible for the Qiang people to reproduce and support such a large population. They have also mastered a large number of farming techniques. From a distance, this place is almost the same as the Han village on the loess high slope of later generations.

But this is also a crisis for Wang Hou!In previous melees, a large number of deaths and fleeing to Hanzhong, Kanto, and Guanzhong, there are less than 30 Han people. Even if there are 30 Han people in Liangzhou, it is only 60. The number of Qiang people has exceeded the number of Han people!
Wang Hou didn't want the Qiang people to rule, and the former Qin Dynasty of the later generations Yao Chang and his son was tampered with!

And now the Qiang people are still eyeing his Guanzhong regime. In the night, a large number of Qiang people have gathered. I don’t know how many tens of thousands of people lie down in the wild under the village with disheveled hair, densely packed like termites.

Reflecting the moonlight and emitting a cold light, it is probably the weapons and equipment that Sima Yi said were the weapons and equipment that the Bingzhou gentry supported the Eastern Qiang.

However, watching this scene, the corner of Wang Hou's mouth with a mustache still couldn't help evoking a particularly strong sneer.

They didn't call the army with a knife. These Qiang people who were still from the primitive clan were too scattered. He didn't see any army formation, and even if they received the support of the Bingzhou gentry, they were compared with Wang Hou's Liao army. , The gap between the equipment of these Qiang people is like the distance between the Rajk militia and the Mi army. Many Qiang people with loose hair are even half shirtless, with only a knife on their bodies, typical thugs.

"I know why Duan Jiong has less than 1 horses, enough to sweep Qiangliang!"

Putting down the binoculars, Wang Hou couldn't help showing a strong sneer.

"Brother-in-law, how do we fight?"

In history, Cao Cao’s evaluation of Cao Zhang as a good general was true. He followed Wang Hou as a night owl for several days and nights, and lurked on this high loess slope. Watching Wang Hou put down the binoculars, he couldn’t help showing a kind of addiction. Excited and excited, he clasped his fists and asked hurriedly, but Wang Hou shook his head heavily when he heard it.

"No hurry!"

Looking at the chaotic Qiang soldiers gathered together in the night and the broken terrain that stretches across the entire loess high slope, a particularly bright expression appeared in Wang Hou's eyes.

"This is a great opportunity! At least half of the Eastern Qiang thieves can be dealt with!"

Now Sima Yi obviously hasn't cultivated the tough physique of a long-term warlord, and he was recently beaten by feudal privileges. He is leaning on the horse and has been dazed. Deng Ai waited for these staff officers to observe the enemy's situation, and kicked the dignified old thief Sima on the ass again.

"Let's go!"

"Daxingtai, you might as well kill the lower official! My face!"

…………

Nothing changed overnight, the sun rose high again, and the sun on the high slopes of the loess seemed to be hotter than the sun on the Guanzhong Plain, making people wilt from the sun.

On this day, the Qiang people gathered some people again. They really deserved to be a fighting nation. With a shout, the young people in the village followed them out carrying knives, axes and even hoes. Fighting a war is as simple as that!
In the afternoon, it seemed that the people and horses were almost gathered together. The Qiang chiefs of various tribes with sheep skulls on their heads, braids and turquoise hanging around the fire also showed up. The great wizard of the Qiang people, who was a bit like an Indian, brought over ten cows. On the edge of the stone mortar in the front of the village, the knife cut the neck of the cows fiercely. Amidst the wailing of the cows, the hot cow blood quickly filled the mouth. Those mortars.

And the warriors of the Qiang tribe moved forward with their knives in their hands, and touched two streaks of blood on their foreheads and cheeks heavily.

The bloody-faced Qiang soldiers howled excitedly, and the atmosphere looked particularly terrifying and strange.

All this fell into San Xiaoqiang's eyes again, and when he put down the binoculars, Deng Ai clenched his fists helplessly, begging with a mournful face.

"Third Young Master! My lord almost didn't slap me last time, please, go back!"

"Where is this? Such a dangerous task, uncle will take care of you, who will take care of you! Isn't it! Brother Dongsheng?"

Seeing Cao Zhang slapping Officer Deng's shoulder smugly, Xu Yue shrugged helplessly.

"The Qiang people's expedition ceremony is about to be held! If you want to do it, do it as soon as possible!"

"That's right! Xiao Aizi just caresses about you, acting like a woman!"

She was so angry that she stammered, and didn't want to talk too much with this dude who claimed to be an elder. This Xu Yue took two quick steps and galloped to the side of the horse she was hiding in the ravine. Deng Ai also got on the horse.

Pulling the heavy oil jar hanging from the side of the saddle, he couldn't help showing a strong fighting spirit in his eyes!
