Shu Chen

Chapter 147
Since the Battle of Didao, Ni Wei has roughly adjusted the layout of the northwest.

Xu Miao, governor of Liangzhou, pleaded guilty in the name of inadvertent planning, and took responsibility for the war alone; but was refuted by General Cao Zhen, who claimed that the dispatch of the battle was his fault for quick success and quick benefit.

Therefore, Emperor Wei Cao Rui was not stricter than Xu Miao.

It's just that he transferred the post of guarding the Qiang school lieutenant, which he also took, to Guo Huai, who had fought this battle before the soldiers left.Let Liangzhou form that Xu Miao is in charge of government affairs, Guo Huai is in charge of defending against the Han, and the four counties of Xiahou Ru'an and Hexi have a clear division of labor.

And give up all the benefits of the official Silk Road.

Let the Haoyou and Qianghu tribes in all counties and counties in Liangzhou rejoice, and it actually covered up the panic of the people who were defeated by Di Dao.

In order to find some troubles for Bashu, Emperor Wei Cao Rui also sent envoys to designate Tang Fan, the leader of the Heshoudi tribe, as "King of Guiyi in Heguan", and sent Baishi, Fanghan and Heguan County, as well as those who were killed by the Han army. The Daxia County and Didao where it was based were all drawn into the newly established "Heshou County" and let him lead the prefect.

The intention is obvious, so there is no room for him to relax with the big man.

After all, bees are poisonous!
If Tang Fan had taken the post of eunuch, a big man who kept saying he wanted to "recover the Central Plains", in order to maintain the prestige of Han Jing in the northwest, it would be impossible to spare him.

Naturally, Tang Fan couldn't refuse this.

Because when Wei Jun entered Daxia County at the beginning, he could no longer have both sides.

As long as they enter the game, those with weak strength will become pawns in the game without exception.

Therefore, he used the Daxia River as the boundary to cut off the Silk Road on the western front, prepared his troops for the attack of the Han, and waited for the opportunity to follow the Wei army to seize Didao in the future.

Regarding this, Zheng Pu, who was stationed in Didao, naturally planned to destroy Tang Fan.

It is also duty bound.

He first set up a plan to lead the Wei army into Didao's ambush, and the original intention of getting Prime Minister Zhuge Liang's approval was to use this battle to delay the time for the anti-Wei soldiers to leave Longyou, so that Longyou could safely pass through the turbulent period of changing ownership.

Unexpectedly, although the war was victorious, it also caused Tang Fan in Heshou to become an enemy, and lost the reliance to appease the Bashu wealthy families to come to Longyou: the interests of the Silk Road!

However, if he asks for orders and leads the army to ask for it, the prime minister will not agree.

Because of the shackles strangled around the neck of the big man, "Shu Road is difficult to transfer", it has not disappeared.

Hanzhong County has been deserted for too many years!
It is by no means a one-time effort to restore the land's fertility by re-cultivating the barren fields and setting up ditches for water conservancy.

Even if you don't need to calculate the tax by mouth, and attract countless poor tenants to flock in, it will take three to five years to cultivate and stockpile the grain and fodder for the army of Longyou.

Now that the soldiers have left Longyou for more than a year, there is almost no time to put down their swords.

The supply of grain and fodder in the land of Bashu has reached its limit.

Especially now that it is the farming season.

Because of emotion and reason, the prime minister will not go fishing in the dry lake, and once again impose corvee to let the households transfer grain and fodder.

After all, compared to Tang Fan's threat from Heshou, the prime minister cared more about the vitality of Bashu's continuous blood supply, and he would never lose the big for small things.

Anyway, the cavalry is still in the process of recruiting and training, and it will take two or three years before the troops leave Liangzhou. Consider the overall situation, and first take advantage of the fact that Wei Wei will not come to the border for the time being, and urge Longyou and Hanzhong County to work on farming. It is even more important to ensure this year's grain and fodder.

As for Heshou Tang Fan, with Gao Xiang and Zheng Pu guarding the Daxia River and Taoshui defense lines in Longxi, he could not pose a threat to the Han.

Let's just let it go!
Let's gather strength in the future, and then regard it as the prelude to the development of regaining Liangzhou.

In fact, after the prime minister heard about Zheng Pu's military report, he had already ordered all ministries to put down their banners and bow to Nongsang.

And also set out to appease the wealthy families in Yizhou, and their households were cut off on the Longyou Silk Road.

Instead, I wrote to Jiang Wei and asked him to discuss with the Shenlang Qiang in Wangqu Valley on his behalf. On the premise that the Han army paid a certain amount of supplies, the caravans of the big Han could pass through their pastures and send them to fight with the Qiang entrenched in the West Sea. Burned as a kind of Qiang trade.

Because in addition to walking along the Jishi Gorge at the head of the river to the Cizhi River Valley and the Huangshui River Valley in Xiping County, you can also walk along the Taoshui River and pass through the "Wangqu Valley-Xiqingshan" habitat of the wolf and Qiang species, and go north to the West Sea.

Well, after relinquishing the benefits of silk at a par price against the Wei Dynasty, the Qianghu tribes in Xiping, Jincheng, and Wuwei County have rarely sent people to ask for supplies such as Shu brocade tea.

Only Huawai Shaodang Qiang who did not submit to the Central Plains Dynasty, and could not get the silk against the Wei Dynasty, Fang continued to eagerly look forward to trade with the Han Dynasty.

However, Jiang Wei hadn't reached an agreement with the leaders of the various tribes of the Shenlangzhong Qiang, but Shaodangzhong Qiang sent people to Didao first.

Different from other Zhongqiang tribes in Northwest China, Shaodang Zhongqiang has always had a Qiang king.

And it's two!

This has to start with their origins.

The earliest Shaodangzhong Qiang lived in Dayun Valley where the Cizhi River meanders into Xiping County.

Because the small people are poor, they are often invaded by powerful Qiang tribes such as Xianling and Beinan, who plunder their cattle and sheep.

The leader couldn't bear the long-term bullying, so he fought desperately with the Shuai Li tribe, and defeated the most powerful Xianling Qiang at that time, occupying the big and small Yugu.

In the new habitat, there is a big river in the north as a natural barrier against enemies, and it is close to the fish and salt of the West Sea (now Qinghai Lake).

Therefore, after their rise, they frequently invaded the three counties of Jincheng, Longxi, and Wuwei in the Han Dynasty, and they were often the leaders of the Northwest Qiang Rebellion.

There were also tragic consequences.

They were repeatedly defeated by the Han Dynasty, and the tribe began to split up and live in scattered places.

After more than a hundred years of Qiang chaos, some of the Shaodangzhong Qiang surrendered to the big Han for internal attachment, and lived in the Huangshui River Valley in Xiping County.

The Huangshui River Valley can be regarded as the ancestral land that bred various Qiang species.

From the establishment of the Great Han Dynasty to Emperor Wudi by Gaozu Liu Bang, there were more than 200 species of Qiang tribes born.

If the Shaodang Qiang that moved into the Huangshui River Valley could not be united into one group, it would be easy to be defeated by other Qiang tribes one by one, annexed or slaughtered.

Therefore, the Qiang king has passed it down to this day.

Another branch of Shaodangzhong Qiang, which was defeated by the Han Dynasty and was unwilling to surrender, was expelled from the territory of the Han Dynasty and thrived around the West Sea.

Similar to them, they have always had their own King Qiang.

Now, Tang Fan of Heshou and Wei Jun of Xiping County cut off the Shu brocade tea trade. In order to continue to get involved in the interests of the Silk Road, they couldn't wait to send people to find the big man.

Wanting to conspire with the big man, how to completely erase Tang Fan, who blocked their interests, from the world!
Hearing this news, Zheng Pu was overjoyed.

He was worried that there was no reason to persuade the Prime Minister Zhuge Liang to allow him to lead the army to attack Heshou!
Now that Shaodang Qiang sent people, he advised the prime minister and asked Ma Dai to lead the Xiliang iron cavalry to "raise war with war"!In addition to destroying Tang Fan, take advantage of the situation to burn Dang Qiang to declare the might of my great man!
After all, although the land at the head of the river is tasteless to a big man, Zheng Pu doesn't want to lure wolves into his house!
