Li Mi's disappearance still caused some waves.

The body was found in Nan'an.

Xiahou Ba immediately wrote to Xiahou Xuan.

The Battle of Jiazhong saved some face for Xiahou Xuan, and the situation in Yongliang changed slightly.

When the man died in Nan'an, Xia Houxuan immediately asked Deng Ai, the prefect of Nan'an, about the whole story.

A man dies in a deserted mountain. Who can tell what happened?

Even if you know what's going on, you can only keep it in your heart.

Li Mi is a member of Cao Shuang's family, and it is impossible for Guo Huai to go to war for him.

As a new round of internal fighting between the DPRK and China unfolds, trivial matters like this in the northwest gradually disappear...

One of the major responsibilities of the Western Captain is to control the Qiang people, and another major responsibility is to cultivate the land.

Yang Zheng and Zhou Yu inspected the fields on both sides of the Lishui River.

Due to population restrictions, the scale is actually not large, only about 7,500 acres, and there are many places upstream and downstream that can be cultivated.

The water and grass on both sides of the Yellow River in the northwest are more abundant, but they are still occupied by some Qiang and Hu tribes.

The current situation in Panhan is a lack of population, not a lack of land.

Yang Zheng previously captured more than 2,000 Qiang people. During the Battle of Jianzhong, he brought back more than 1,000 Qiang soldiers. Together with the original Han people, Qiang, Diji and other ethnic groups in the city, the total number was only about 4,000 to 5,000.

There are not as many people as there were in one university in later generations.

The only thing that makes Yang Zheng happy is that most of them are young and strong, and most of the Yi people can basically communicate in Chinese.

Without a population, there is no source of troops; without a source of troops, there is no strength.

Yang Zheng turned his attention to the Qiang and Hu tribes scattered in Hexi.

The larger ones numbered two to three thousand, while the smaller ones numbered six to seven hundred, either grazing or farming. However, their lives were extremely difficult and they were often attacked by horse bandits.

Tribes often attack each other over trivial matters.

Before fighting the outside world, you must first make peace with the inside.

The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step.

Yang Zheng first led people to build water conservancy projects, dug canals from the Lishui River, and renovated the entire southeastern side of Pohan City.

After the Qiang people learned that their farmland was divided into 40 and 60%, their enthusiasm increased greatly.

Most Qiang people have an upright temperament, and as long as they gain their trust, you can do whatever they want.

As long as they provide two meals a day, the Qiang people will work hard without complaint.

Yang Zheng had to be grateful that he had dealt with those chiefs.

After completing the plan, he handed the matter over to Zhou Yu.

In addition to the Qiang Di, there are also twelve Hanmin Wubao in the territory of Panhan, occupying the best land along the Li River.

After Zhao Aqi and Gongsunfu investigated their details, they found that these Wubao only had common surnames, and there were no powerful families. Usually a Wubao was a village with the same surname, and most of them had the surnames of Li, Zhang, Xu, Ma, and Wang.

The internal cohesion is very strong. Although the number is small, they are extremely fierce. A few months ago, the Qiang was in chaos. The thieves would rather attack the county town than provoke them.

Sometimes they fight with each other over water sources.

The intensity is no less than that of a small war.

This land provided the Qin and Han Dynasties with many elite soldiers and generals for hundreds of years.

If you are not in your position, you will not do anything.

In the past, Yang Zheng was a guest general and had no control over them, but now it is within his responsibilities.

Yang Zheng sent people in the name of the Western Commander to invite the owners of the twelve forts to come to Wuhan City to discuss matters.

In the past, when Li Mi was appointed as the leader of the Han Dynasty, he also had ideas about them, but they were not interested at all.

From the twelve Wubao, three families came, and five families sent envoys to evade various matters and beg Yang Zheng for forgiveness.

There was no news from the remaining four families, and they simply regarded Yang Zheng's summons as a fart.

I originally thought that we have the same roots, but it is not easy for Han people in the border areas. Let's exchange feelings first, and then talk about other things in a friendly manner.

With the current situation, there is no need to talk.

The Han people in Wubao are more ferocious than the Qiang tribe. If they don't show some color, they may not treat Yang Zheng as a green onion.

Since the soft one is not enough, the only choice is the hard one.

The Qiang Camp has been training for so long, and it’s time to take them out for a walk.

Yang Zheng assembled the second battalion, and all the senior soldiers in the battalion were senior soldiers from the Wuwei battalion.

Both the Ji camp and the Qiang camp were expanded, with one thousand people each.

The Qiang camp mainly consists of light cavalry, supplemented by spear infantry, while the Qiang camp is composed entirely of sword, shield and armor soldiers.

It is called Qiang Camp, but in fact there are many Di people and Han people who are good at riding horses.

There were also Qiang warriors in the camp.

After seeing the power of the Shu army's crossbows, Yang Zheng also wanted to create a crossbow army. However, the crossbow machine is a high-tech gadget for today's Yuhan. Maintenance and arrows are a big expense. Now

Yang Zheng can't afford it.

Two thousand people walked neatly in the autumn wilderness.

More than half of them had no armor.

Of the 1,000 sets of armor allocated by Xiahou Ba, more than 300 were damaged in the Battle of Jiazhong.

Xiahou Ba's subordinates suffered the heaviest casualties. He himself was somewhat stretched and was waiting for Chang'an's deployment.

Yang Zheng could only wear black clothes instead.

Under the restraint of the veterans of the Wuwei camp, this army has some momentum.

A spear and a big shield, a sword and a horse.

Most of the soldiers have seen blood. The fierceness of the Qiang people, the fierceness of the Zhi people, and the bravery of the Han army have gathered together to form the foundation of this army, like a black cloud sweeping down.

Yang Zheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he finally had some wealth.

There are many swords and spears on the Wubao, as well as bows and crossbows, as if facing a powerful enemy.

Although Wubao is not big, its defensive power is extremely amazing. The city walls are towering and the turrets are like teeth, like a turtle with its teeth and claws.

Without large siege equipment, it would be difficult for two thousand people to break through.

However, Yang Zheng was not here to fight, but to intimidate.

Carrying six hundred armors, he walked to the place where he could shoot. Yang Zheng shouted at the top of his voice: "Even the imperial officials dare to fight with each other. Are you civilians or bandits?"

There are three things new officials do when they take office, and they have different confidences in speaking.

It felt like the entire Wubao was being stepped on.

The defenders on Wubao were cowering in fear, as if they couldn't bear Yang Zheng's momentum.

A real man cannot lose power for a day, this is the reason.

The name is justifiable and justified.

Not long after, a strong man in armor stood out from the city wall, looking at Yang Zheng with complex eyes, "We in Majiapu have always obeyed the imperial decrees, why should Captain Yang push people too hard?"

"Follow the imperial decree?" Yang Zheng laughed twice, "Have you paid your taxes this year? Have you served your duties this year?"

The strong man looked visibly shrinking.

"This captain will give you one last chance. Put down your weapons and everyone get out of the city. I won't embarrass you."

The strong man was still hesitating.

Yang Zheng sneered and said: "If you don't open the city gate today, you are a traitor to the Wei Dynasty!"

It depends on whether they have the courage to use a fort against the country.

After half a stick of incense, the fort door opened, and people inside walked out one after another, looking terrified.

Although it took some effort, the effect is pretty good.

"Ma Duan is blind, please forgive me Captain Yang." The strong man half-knelt in front of Yang Zheng, with his head lowered, not daring to look directly at him.

Now that we are out, we are a family.

In the northwest, there are many Qiang and few Han, so it would be best if you don't use the knife.
