Chapter 258 What should be taught and what should be taught, who is not taught?
After this wave of crusade, Liu Bei will simultaneously promote the governance of the Han people and Qiang Hu people in the counties and counties of Liangzhou.

In his plan, including persuading farmers and farming, opening up mutual markets, reducing taxes and exempting refugees, etc., the agricultural production of the five counties, including Hanyang County, must be fully restored in the shortest possible time.

He will work hard to create a stable production environment for the people in these places who long for a normal and peaceful life.

At the same time, Liu Bei did not forget the importance of intelligence.

Liu Hui's successful assassination of Zhang Jiao was a great achievement. Although he could not be rewarded publicly, Liu Bei still sent a large amount of property back to his hometown in the name of a gift to Liu Hui's father Liu Bo as a reward.

Later, Liu Hui continued to be responsible for Liu Bei's establishment of the intelligence system in areas other than Luoyang, and focused on using some of the manpower in his family's cottage to train spies, and made great progress.

But this time Liu Bei served as Liangzhou pastor, and directly brought Liu Hui and most of his subordinates to Liangzhou to help him, and the remaining few stayed in Luoyang to continue to pass on Luoyang's information.

After arriving in Liangzhou, Liu Hui will be able to let go of his hands and feet and work hard.

With the help of Liu Hui's initially formed intelligence team and their trek across mountains and rivers, Liu Bei was able to understand and find out the five counties around Hanyang County in a relatively short period of time.

In mid-August of the third year of Zhongping, three months after Liu Bei arrived in Liangzhou and took office, a series of military plans were formulated, and five generals led by Guan Yu attacked according to the military plan.

Among the five counties, Wudu County has rebellious Di and Qiang, Longxi County has remnants of rebellious Qiang and Han tyrants, Jincheng County is the same, Beidi County and Anding County have rebellious troops and people, and they all occupy one place Domineering, do not listen to government orders.

It can be said that each of these five counties has a rebellion, and there are Caotou kings everywhere. There are not many cities and lands under the control of the government, but the good thing is that most of them are scattered and not united.

This is very simple, there is no psychological burden to beat them.

Liu Bei thought that Guan Yu should be the first to establish his achievements, but in the end he did not expect that it was Xia Houyuan who first established his achievements.

Xia Houyuan didn't know when he lit up his technical point of rapid march, and led the army in a hurry, faster than Xiahou Dun arrived at Fanting Mountain in Anding County.

He hurried to Yuzhi in Beidi County, ready to attack the Qianghu armed group that occupied the area around Shegu Mountain and did evil.

Because Xia Houyuan arrived very fast, the Qiang Hu who shot Gushan had no preparations and expectations before, and was caught off guard by Xia Houyuan, and was wiped out without much resistance. More than [-] people were captured, and a Qianghu tribe was completely wiped out.

Afterwards, according to Liu Bei's secret to deal with the Qianghu tribe, Xia Houyuan ordered the beheading of all the leading Qianghu people among the captured groups, including the leader and his cronies and relatives. .

Most of the remaining Qianghu men, women and children who were in the position of common people were not killed, but became prisoners of the Han army.

The living customs of these Qianghu tribes living in Liangzhou counties are slightly different from those living outside Liangzhou.

The Qiang and Hu tribes living outside Liangzhou still retain a strong sense of nomadic migration and living, while those living in Liangzhou have a stronger color of farming, and their settled living customs are the same as those of the Han people.

Therefore, the Qianghu people who have settled and farming customs also rely on food production to survive. They will only go out to plunder when food is not enough. The frequency and intensity are not as great as the Qianghu tribes outside the country.

According to Liu Bei's plan, Liangzhou has a large land area and a sparse population, a lack of population, and a serious shortage of labor. Although the Qiang and Hu people are not Han people, and their living customs are different, most of the Han people are illiterate, and their living customs may not be the same as those of the Han people in the mainland. .

Moreover, in terms of farming technology, the gap between Liangzhou and the areas with developed agricultural production in the Central Plains is relatively large, and Liangzhou's farming technology also needs to be reintroduced.

What should be taught has to be taught, who is not taught?
So as long as those upper-level people who are smart, knowledgeable, and have ruling skills are killed, the rest will be high-quality labor, which can be handled.

As long as they are willing to learn farming techniques and participate in production activities, then register them with household registration, change their clothes, headdresses and hairstyles, and they will be serious Han people, and they will look similar anyway.

Regarding Liu Bei's view, the subordinates were somewhat confused, but considering the production problem, no one could raise a clear objection.

Let's see, if we can really increase our registered permanent residence in Liangzhou, it's not necessarily a bad thing. If we really want to get a lot of high-quality labor to work hard here to reclaim wasteland and grow food, no one would be unwilling.

Therefore, Liu Bei conveyed the new military regulations to the generals and soldiers under his command. For the enemy, behead those who resisted with weapons and eliminate the leadership. The rest are prisoners. They cannot be killed indiscriminately.

The more labor force capable of agricultural production, the better.

With such new regulations, everyone is of course willing to abide by them. Xiahouyuan squinted his eyes with joy when he captured more than 3000 prisoners in World War I.

Before the battle, Liu Bei gave them a thorough explanation. As long as they acted smoothly and achieved enough military exploits in this battle, Liu Bei would immediately report to the imperial court and let them be promoted to the local prefects, officially becoming two thousand stone officials, and changing their fate. , Guangzong Yaozu.

The five people immediately became excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Xia Houyuan's side is not an exception, Zhang Fei is even more fierce, thinking that he can be a high-ranking official like a prefect from a small family background, his whole body is sublimated.

So he changed from his usual frizzy appearance, and actually started to feel a little cautious.

During the Liangzhou War before, Di Qiang from Wudu County had brought many defeats to You Fufeng Bao Hong, who was in charge of attacking here, which made Bao Hong feel a little humiliated.

Zhang Fei, who was in charge of transporting food to Bao Hong and participated in the war to a limited extent, had a good understanding of this place and knew that these Di Qiang were more difficult to deal with.

He led the troops forward cautiously, cutting mountains and rocks all the way, fighting steadily, without dividing troops, using Liu Bei's suggestion that he adopt the tactics of compressing the living space of the Di people bit by bit, forcing the enemy to concentrate their main force to fight him, which is beneficial to the Han army. The display of overall strength.

The fact is also the same, Zhang Fei adopted a steady and steady tactic, and finally forced the Diqiang rebels to concentrate their main force to fight Zhang Fei.

Once they gave up the tactics they were good at and entered the rhythm of the Han army, they would naturally not be opponents of the well-equipped and well-trained Han army. Captured more than four thousand.

After that, Zhang Fei took advantage of the victory and marched from the Western Han River to the Qiang River, entered the range of activities of the Shenlang Qiang and Baima Qiang, and encountered the vigilance and resistance of the Shenlang Qiang.

Zhang Fei was furious and led the troops forward. He personally led the cavalry to charge into the formation, smashed an army of Shenlangqiang by the Qiangshui River, wiped out the tribe, and captured more than [-] people.

Similar to Zhang Fei, Dong Huang, who was in charge of attacking the rebels in Longxi County, was also very excited, and he felt a little soul sublimated when he was excited.

Although he is a native of Longxi County and cannot be an official in Longxi County, Liu Bei promised that he would fight for the title of Dong Huang in his hometown. Although he cannot be the prefect in his hometown, he can get a title in his hometown and eat his hometown. Isn’t that true? A crowning glory?
So Dong Huang tried his best to make contributions in this battle.
