Chapter 153 Marching Sima, Garrison Sima, Military Science
In the camp of the Qiang people!
A group of Qiang chiefs have become captives. Their faces are ashen and defeated, and they no longer see the slightest bit of anger, rebelliousness, and contempt... Some only regret it, and now they regret it very much.

There was once an opportunity to escape far away, which was placed in front of their eyes, but they didn't cherish it...

If they could start all over again, they still wouldn't submit to Li Wenhou, but they could lead the remnants to flee far away.

No matter how awesome you are, Li Wenhou, there will always be times when you are not around. At that time, we will come back and snatch everything that belongs to us.

At this time, Li Wenhou strode in. Now his body is actually quite tired, but his spirit is quite uplifting. Now the big and small Elm Valley and the Cizhi Hequ will all belong to him, and the rest is just thinking about how to manage it.

Seeing Li Wenhou walk in, the faces of these chiefs changed, but they calmed down after a while.

Yao Keneng was also arrested. At this time, he looked at Li Wenhou with deep unwillingness in his eyes, and he couldn't help but said:

"Li Wenhou, you are proud now, we have all been arrested by you, what do you want to do with us, just say it now!"

When Li Wenhou heard this, he turned his head and looked over. Seeing Yao Ke Neng smiling, it was not a mocking smile, but he was indeed a little proud. Then he walked over, stretched out his hand to pull him up, and then said slowly:

"I've said before that even if you don't regard me as a friend, I still regard you as friends. In fact, I don't want to fight this battle, but even after this battle, I will not hate you or hurt you..."

"I will treat you well, and I will also treat your people well, but I also need you to be my help. I want to unify Hehuang, and I want to become the King of Liang. I will take not only the land of Hehuang, but also the land of Longyou, Hexi, and the entire Liangzhou..."

Speaking of this, Li Wenhou looked at everyone, his expression became excited, and there was a touch of intensity in his voice:
"At that time, you will be my support, my friends, and I will give you more land and more pastures. At that time, maybe you will no longer like the big and small Yugu and the Zhizhi Hequ, and you will want to go to Hexi, you will want to go to Longyou!"

Hearing this, the complexions of the people present changed drastically. Immediately after they looked left and right, they could see the bewilderment on each other's faces. They never thought that Li Wenhou's ambition would be so huge that even the large and small Elm Valley and the Cizhi River Meander could not really be filled.

But in their hearts, their desires were also aroused. The land of Hexi and Longyou are really good places. They have been there before, and then they were beaten back by the Han army.

They actually have grievances towards Li Wenhou, but they have become captives. Li Wenhou can still treat each other with courtesy. These grievances have dissipated a little bit, and desires have emerged in their hearts.

It would be a good thing if the other party really became the king of Liang and occupied the land of Hexi and Longyou, and could give them more land and more pastures.

So he opened his mouth one after another:
"I can help you, but don't forget what you said today!"

Li Wenhou nodded with a smile, he remembered Li Yao said that even if these Qiang chiefs were captured, don't insult them or despise them, it's better to take them seriously and coax them.

Li Wenhou is very prestigious among the Qiang people, but do these Qiang chiefs have no prestige among the Qiang people? There must be diehard loyalists among those Qiang people.

In order to subdue the hearts of the Qiang people, these Qiang chiefs must be kept, and they must show up frequently so that they can better subdue the hearts of the Qiang people.

Li Wenhou said solemnly:
"Don't worry, you will never forget!"

But in my heart I said again:

"Land and pastures can be given to the tribe, but the money and food will not be returned. The food grown on the land and the livestock raised on the pastures need to pay taxes for me to raise soldiers!"

At the same time, Li Yao, Li Xiong, and Li Hu were still cleaning the battlefield, collecting corpses, treating the wounded, resettling Qiang soldiers, women and children, and now they were all captives, counting grain, livestock, looting gold, silver, and animal skins.

Until late at night, where Li Wenhou lived!

When Li Yao walked in, Li Wenhou, who was half asleep and half awake on the bed, was refreshed in an instant, then smiled and waved:

"Ayao is here, come closer!"

Hearing this, Li Yao stepped forward quickly, then cupped his hands and said:
"Father, are you looking for me?"

Li Wenhou nodded with a smile, looked at Li Yao and said seriously:

"I've already occupied the Elm Valley and the Gizhi Hequ. I can take the Qiang chiefs and cavalry away at any time. However, some people have escaped. I'm afraid they will join forces with Zhong Qiang in the south to snatch the pastures, women, children, and livestock... Definitely keep people to garrison them. They can't be too many, but they can't be too few. Give me an idea!"

Hearing this, Li Yao was not too surprised, and even seemed to have a solution, and then he spoke clearly:
"Father, then we should first regroup the army and tell the captured Qiang soldiers, women and children tomorrow that as the defeated party, they should have lost everything and become slaves, working all day long, but you once led them to fight, and they also followed you to fight, so you pardon them, they can keep their status as soldiers, their wives and family members, and part of their property..."

"They must be grateful, and then they seized most of the property, including the Qiang chief's property, gold and silver, livestock, and even women...as rewards and pensions, and gave them to our soldiers. They followed us to fight. Only by capturing can we appease people's hearts..."

"The tens of thousands of Qiang soldiers, big and small elm valleys, and Zhizhi Hequ are our biggest gains this time. As for some gold and silver, livestock, women... it's just incidental..."

"In this way, all the Qiang soldiers will be grateful, and then take those captives into the left and right cavalry, and the left and right cavalry can be further expanded. In addition to Uncle Xiong and Uncle Tiger as the Sima of other departments, he can also set up the Sima of the garrison and the Sima of the march. This new position can be used as the deputy of the Sima of the other department..."

"The garrison Sima and the Marching Sima can be counted as the same level. The strength of the army is between 3000 and [-].

"Next we will leave, so we will set up a garrison Sima in the Elm Valley and the Cizhi Hequ, so that they can guard against the enemy. In order to reduce the pressure, we should also graze and farm the land at ordinary times, and train once every five to ten days..."

"If the enemy really comes, as long as we can resist a little, we can lead the army to fight in person, and between the garrison Sima and the garrison Sima, the defense zone can be changed frequently, and even between the garrison Sima and the marching Sima, the identity should be changed frequently, or it will be replaced or exchanged every six months or a year..."

"Prevent someone from taking the opportunity to become bigger, and at the same time, father can be merciful and allow the families of the Qiang soldiers to follow, burn Dang Qiang, burn He Qiang... These tribes will be further divided, and they will gradually form new tribes under the left and right cavalry, weakening Shao Dang Qiang, Burn He Qiang... The traces of these tribes' existence..."

"The left and right cavalry were originally Li's private soldiers. In the future, under their gradual influence, the tens of thousands of Qiang soldiers will become our Li's private soldiers. In the future, we will burn Dang Qiang and He Qiang... After all traces are eliminated, those Qiang chiefs will no longer be important..."

"However, in this way, besides fighting, the left and right cavalry will also take care of governing the region in the future. Uncle Xiong and Uncle Hu can only fight but not govern. Let's go to our uncle and bring our two cousins ​​over to let them help us govern the region..."

"And those military officials are completely insufficient. These are our Li family's private soldiers and the foundation of our Li family. Don't ask for people from other places or the county. They can't be completely trusted..."

"We can run schools, just like the Taixue in the imperial court, but we don't need to study classics. We only teach them literacy, arithmetic, horseback riding, and archery... After they finish their studies, they will either become generals or military officials..."

"It's not so much literature, it's better to say it's martial arts, and it's developed in the army, it can even be called military science..."

"Father, only in this way can we ensure that they are loyal enough to maintain the foundation of our Li family. Our Li family started out with martial arts. Only by maintaining ample martial virtues can Father truly achieve his goal—to become the King of Liang!"

Li Wenhou was already stunned when he heard this. Although he didn't understand very well, he was shocked now.

　Thank you book friend Brother Monkey for catching mice, for the reward of 10000!
　　Thank you, thank you very much, but I have always been slow in writing books, and I dare not promise to add more...
