People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 164

Song Jian died, Zhang Yi, Aliyun... These Han and Qiang chiefs voluntarily surrendered, and even Fanghan fell into the hands of Li Wenhou.

The four counties of Fanghan, Heguan, Baishi, and Daxia, as well as Didao, Angu, and now the northwestern part of Longxi, were all included in Li Wenhou's sphere of influence.

The land is expanded again, and the three rivers are all in it. A large area of ​​fertile fields and lush pastures are all concentrated on both sides of these rivers. As long as there is no fighting and robbing in the future, let the people develop production and farm and herd with peace of mind.

Liangzhou is indeed poor and backward, but basically it can be summarized as two reasons:

One is that there are few people, and the land cannot be effectively developed due to a serious shortage of population;
The second is chaos, frequent rebellions, counter-rebellion, rebellion, counter-rebellion... This has also led to a limited population, with military skills all over the body, who can fight and fight well, and who are good at fighting are good at fighting, but being poor is also really poor.

At the same time, when Li Wenhou took over all the cities, he also took over all the defenders. The original 8000-strong Heshou Army, excluding the dead and disabled, left only more than 6000 people.

They were all taken into the army by Li Wenhou, because some of them came from bandits and horse thieves, some came from local tycoons, and some came from Qiang tribes.

Otherwise, sooner or later, it will harm the local area. It is better to take it into the army and use it to garrison troops.

If there are those who can fight, then they will be included in the main battle force. If they can't be fought, then they can only cultivate the land.

Then there is the placement of the garrison, from west to east in the north of Longxi, Li Wenhou arranged three garrison Sima, that is, [-] soldiers, of which [-] soldiers were stationed in the four counties of Heshou, and the other [-] soldiers were stationed in Di Dao and Angu.

Of course, the garrison is not enough to arrange the soldiers. Follow-up will also send food, farm tools, and livestock, organize reclamation, and organize grazing...to achieve self-sufficiency.

This involves a lot of government affairs issues, the troublesome things are in the back, and now it is just to seize the territory, so as not to be eaten by others.

In this process, of course, Zhang Yi, Ali Yun...the help of these people, they contributed a lot of money and food, but they played a very important role in the process of Li Wenhou rewarding the army and placing the garrison.

According to what Li Wenhou himself said, he doesn’t care how the money and food come from, he just cares who pays the money and food. Now that Zhang Yi, Ali Yun and others have paid the money and food, even though they made people hate and hate people, Li Wenhou still appointed them and gave each of them an official position.

Although they have been given official positions, they have not been given real power, which cannot be regarded as a breach of contract.

However, from a civil and military official to a county official again, the status is actually about the same, after all, the territory is so big.

This is quite lucky, in the original history, including Song Jian and his officials, all were ordered to be killed by Cao Cao.

In Liangzhou, there are very few scholars who can read and write. If they can use it, they will use it.

The positions of county magistrates in each city are all assigned to Zhao Xian. These local chief officials must be his own people, so that the New Deal can be better implemented and production can be better developed.

After everything was settled properly, Li Wenhou led an army of [-], and finally went north and returned to Jincheng.

There is no need to maintain a large army because there is no war for the time being, so four garrison Sima were arranged again, two of them commanded [-] soldiers to garrison Lingju for the purpose of going north to Hexi, and the other two garrison Sima commanded [-] soldiers to garrison Longqi for controlling the West Sea.

There are only more than 1 people left by Li Wenhou's side, but they have a complete establishment of the three armed forces.

After finishing these, the time has come to the third year of Zhongping, Li Wenhou led his army back to Yunwu, and everything came to an end.

Although Li Wenhou went back, the story about his deeds was completely spread, which made people shocked and frightened.

Leading an army of [-], he brazenly invaded the territory of Longxi, broke through Heguan, and besieged Fanghan, forcing Song Jian's subordinates to rebel, beheaded and surrendered to Xiancheng.

What a feat this is. In fact, Song Jian is not too weak. He has [-] Heshou troops, and this is how he can occupy the northwestern part of Longxi.

However, 8000 people faced 4 people, which was obviously not enough. In less than half a month, they were defeated and died.

It also allowed Li Wenhou's sphere of influence to expand from Jincheng to Didao, Angu, and the entire northwestern part of Longxi was under his control.

At this time, especially in the south of Longxi and Wudu, the nobles in those places and the chiefs of Di and Qiang all felt chills in their backs.

Since they retreated from Guanzhong and returned to Liangzhou, Li Wenhou, who had endured for a year, showed his fangs again, which made everyone shudder.

To mobilize an army of [-] at will, and it is still [-] cavalry, it must have the support of the Hehuang Qiang to have such a strong force.

Shocked, feared, respected, admired...

With all kinds of emotions intertwined, they also made them seriously think about how to face Li Wenhou, and if Li Wenhou led his army to fight, how would they choose whether to resist to the end or lead his troops to surrender!
Now in Liangzhou, Li Wenhou's reputation has skyrocketed, and he has once again become the most famous and powerful warlord.

At this time, Jincheng was filled with a busy and festive atmosphere, that was because spring was about to begin, and Li Yao was getting married.

Moreover, the person she married was not an ordinary person, but Beigong Boyu's legitimate daughter, so it could be said that it was a strong alliance.

At the beginning, the two of them led the Liangzhou rebellion together. Now that the two of them are married, who else can overwhelm them in Liangzhou!

Yun Wu, Li Fu!
There were lights and festoons everywhere, and it was very lively, but inside the Li Mansion, there were heated discussions.

Li Wenhou shook his head and said:
"No, I can't wear formal clothes, and I have to go to Didao to pick up the bride. Wearing a formal dress is not suitable for riding a horse. First, I will wear a military uniform. When I pick him up, I will change back to a formal dress."

Hearing this, Zhao Yan understood the truth, but she still felt that it was not formal enough, so she could only sigh:

"Now that the two families are separated into two counties, many procedures can only be simplified. They send the bride to Didao, and we take the bride back to Yunwu. The journey is so long, it is really inconvenient!"

Li Yao didn't really care, he just smiled and said:

"Mum, don't worry. Father asked me to lead a thousand soldiers to bring the bride back to Didao. With the cavalry clearing the way, who dares to despise us!"

Zhao Yan frowned when she heard this, she said dissatisfiedly:
"You are going to welcome your relatives, not to fight, and this time you are marrying a regular wife. If it is not in accordance with the etiquette, wouldn't it make people laugh!"

At this time Li Wenhou smiled and said:

"What's the matter? We have a lot of unethical things in Liangzhou. As long as the soldiers are strong and strong, whoever dares to laugh at them will shut him up forever. Ayao, you should go!"

Li Yao nodded when he heard this and said:

"Kids know!"
