Even though it cannot be said that geographical location determines everything, geographical location is extremely important to a person, a nation, and a country.
The Yinshan Mountains towering in the north of Hetao, stretching from east to west and shaped like a barrier, are not only an important natural geographical dividing line, a natural dividing line in the agricultural and animal husbandry economic form, but also a manifestation of the strength of the Xiongnu in history.
Under the Yin Mountain, outside Yu Fuluo's big tent.
Humphrey looked at the jars of wine on the entire baggage cart on the side of the big tent, and showed an inexplicable smile.
People can't be idle. When they are idle, they will think about it. When they think about it, something will often happen. Therefore, throughout the ages, those who are in power have basically used the unemployment rate as an important indicator...
People who immerse themselves in work, busy every day to have three meals a day and warm clothes. The reward for their work can only meet the needs of the family. People who do not work for a day without food have always been the members of the ruling class. I have a good heart. People like this naturally need to be cared for and taken care of again and again to ensure that such people can continue stably for a long time, so as to maintain the stability and healthy development of the entire society.
It's a pity that there is a small group of people who like to find something to do when they have nothing to do...
"Hahaha, Shan Yu is in such a good mood today!" Zhang Ji laughed loudly as he reached a hundred steps away, flew off his horse, and then called Yu Fuluo's guards to come forward, "I heard that Shan Yu has good wine here, cleverly Yes! I just happened to hunt a deer, and it’s just the right time to drink it with!”
Yufro also laughed, greeted Zhang Ji, and said: "Not bad, not bad! Come! Please!"
Yufuluo's operation to collect the remaining Xianbei in the entire Yinshan area was basically over. Except for some Xianbei people who fled from the western foot of Yinshan to the Western Regions, most of the rest of the Xianbei in Yinshan had basically been eliminated.
Basically, according to the previous agreement with Fei Qian, part of the livestock and population were sent to Pingyang, and part of them was kept as Yuvluo's spoils. Therefore, during this period, whether it was Yuvluo or Yuvluo's tribe, The mood is quite good.
With more cattle and sheep, and the plundered Xianbei women, a large number of Xiongnu babies will be born next winter and early next year, which means that the number of Xiongnu people will steadily increase... …
But compared to the growth rate of the Han people in the Yinshan area of the North, this small increase of the Yufuluo people is not impressive enough.
During this period, in addition to some management craftsmen and ordinary farmers who originally migrated from Pingyang, there were also a large influx of refugees from Guanzhong in Yinshan, and there were even some people who came from Heishan via Luliang Mountain.
The Yinshan area is large enough, and it happens to be the corner area of the river. The water flow is gentle and the land is fertile. As long as these original farmers are willing to put in the effort, they basically don't have to deliberately select. Most of the areas have been changed to be suitable for farming. Fertile farmland.
Of course, even with such an influx of population, it is still not enough to fill the entire Yinshan area. Therefore, basically, Yu Fuluo and other Hu people are grazing in the west side of Yinshan Mountain, while Xu Huang, Ma Yan, and Zhang Ji commanded The Han people cultivated around the Manyi Valley.
Because the land is still sufficient, there is no direct conflict of interest between them, and there is even a little complementarity and cooperation at certain times. Therefore, at this stage, the Southern Huns and Han people under Yu Fulo in this part of Yinshan The relationship between them is not bad.
Zhang Ji and Ma Yue took turns taking their soldiers to the grasslands to train. Do they want to train cavalry? One is training soldiers, and the other is also training horses. Even if the horses locked in the stables can run and are strong, they may not be able to become cavalry. A good war horse.
During this time, it was Zhang Ji's turn.
Yu Fuluo stretched out his hands to welcome Zhang Ji. When Zhang Ji came closer and the two of them held up their arms to enter the tent together, Yu Fuluo said casually: "Ah ha, Colonel Zhang, by the way, the former Someone gave me some good wine in the past two days, saying it was made from mountain springs and several kinds of chestnuts and wheat... I don’t understand either, but I just think it’s awesome. I heard that Captain Zhang also knows wine, so what? , and also help me invite tastings..."
Yufro seemed to be talking casually, and Zhang Ji didn't pay attention at first. After opening his mouth and answering casually, he realized something and turned around to take a closer look at the baggage truck parked on the side of the big tent.
The baggage cart is old, and the wood is covered with traces of wind, rain, and dust, making the original color unclear. In one or two places, the iron nails are loose or broken, causing the wooden boards to be a little skewed. It was an extremely ordinary and extremely old baggage train. If Huvroud hadn't specifically mentioned it, no one would have taken a look at it.
The baggage cart was filled with wine jars, at least ten or twenty jars. There were circles of hemp rope wrapped around the outside of the wine jars, and some hay or other things were placed between them. However, there was no writing on the wine jars. What mark...
Before Zhang Ji could take a closer look, Yufro had already asked his bodyguard to open the curtain of the big tent, and said with a smile: "Colonel Zhang... Colonel Zhang, please!"
"Oh... oh, okay, okay..." Zhang Ji came back to his senses and looked at Yuvluo, whose smile did not change. He was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was doing. He nodded and entered the tent with Yuvluo...
******************
"...This is probably what happened..."
Zhang Ji had doubts in his heart, so he rushed back to Manyi Valley with his men without drinking much wine from Yufuluo. He met Xu Huang and told him about the matter.
Xu Huang is now mainly responsible for the infantry in Yinshan and the construction of the permanent fortress in Manyi Valley. Compared with Ma Yue and Zhang Ji who are responsible for peripheral security and cavalry training, Xu Huang's work is more complicated and complicated. Meticulous, not simple.
A permanent fortress requires a variety of materials. The wood alone includes large and small square logs, columns, pointed logs, boards, wedges, rafters, etc., plus other materials, and these materials are in stock and in transit. The situation, usage speed, etc. have become the data that Xu Huang must measure and collect every day.
Although the craftsmen who are specifically responsible for the affairs do not need Xu Huang's guidance and arrangements in operation, Xu Huang also needs to send people to conduct inspections and spot checks, and pay attention to every link to ensure that it can operate smoothly at all times and avoid accidents. People wait for materials, or materials wait for people.
Such tedious and complicated things can greatly temper a person's character and overall planning ability. In today's Han Dynasty, there is no such thing as a project schedule, and there are no interrelated tables on the computer to assist in statistics. All large and small Things are just recorded one by one on wooden slips or bamboo slips like a running account. As the administrator, Xu Huang must set up the entire operating model in his mind and form a complete set of execution plans in order to be able to manage things smoothly. Arrange craftsmen and labor slaves to complete the construction work.
Therefore, Xu Huang has lost a lot of weight these days.
"..." Xu Huang frowned, with a thin "Sichuan" character formed between his eyebrows.
Xu Huang does not think that Yu Fuluo is a person who is looking for trouble, nor is he a guy with no purpose. So why he specifically asked Zhang Ji to drink, his main intention must not be simply to drink two bowls of wine...
After pondering for a while, Xu Huang said: "I don't know, Colonel Zhang, didn't you know where the wine came from?"
Zhang Jiba smashed it, rolled his eyes upward, recalled it, and then said hesitantly: "I drank it, but... as for... this... I can't say..."
Xu Huang nodded and said: "Then it shouldn't be the wine from Guanzhong or Guanxi... Colonel Zhang must have drank the good wine from these two places, right?"
Zhang Ji nodded, shook his head, and said, "I've had a lot of drinks, but I can't guarantee that I've had them all..."
"Old baggage trains... mountain springs, several kinds of chestnuts..." Xu Huang touched his moustache and muttered, "Yufuluo's actions tell us that someone has gone to find him. As for what Man, what is it that Hufrault doesn’t want to say, or feels it’s hard to say...who could send it to him? What’s the purpose of sending wine to Hufrault?”
There are material convoys traveling between Pingyang, Yong'an, and even Xihe and other places every now and then. Among these convoys, there is one more baggage truck or one less, or one has turned somewhere along the way. For now, In this era without surveillance equipment, things cannot be traced and investigated...
Zhang Ji scratched his scalp and was speechless.
At this time, Ma Yue came in from outside. Before anyone arrived, he smiled and said loudly: "Haha... The prince killed the Guo thieves in Chiyang, and then defeated Chang'an, so he was awarded the title of General Zhengxi!"
Xu Huang and Zhang Ji in the hall stood up almost at the same time with a shout and went out to greet them. They saw Ma Yue holding a newly arrived Di newspaper in his hand, striding towards them.
"Happy! Hurry!" Ma Yue smiled, obviously proud of Fei Qian's achievements on this trip, "The Xiliang thief is not going to die soon... uh, Captain Zhang... so-and-so..."
Ma Yueguang was just having fun, and after he finished speaking, he realized that Zhang Ji was also from Xiliang.
Zhang Ji smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said: "Captain Ma does not need to be like this, alas... Li Guo and others are also deeply ashamed..."
When Xu Huang saw this, he said: "Zhang Xiaowei is now guarding Yinshan, and he has made great contributions to the country, so don't worry about it... The prince has been granted the title of conquering the west. This is the grace of the emperor, and we are lucky!"
General Zhengxi, a general with the title of Zheng'er Ba Jing, is ranked below the Three Dukes, almost at the same level as Jiuqing, and he founded his own government, under the jurisdiction of the government, there are chief historians, one commander each, two middlemen, and two ministers.
There are twenty-nine subordinates, and thirty-one subordinates of the Lingshiyu. In addition, you can directly lead the army with your own title, and you can also appoint your own troops, captains, etc. under them.
In this way, people like Xu Huang and others can basically move up a level, from the so-called local title of county captain to a real military captain, which means that they are not only
You can have more rights to command soldiers, and more importantly, you can expand the number of your own personal guards...
A lieutenant under a real and well-known general is more awesome than ordinary good generals, which is why. Therefore, although Xu Huang and others may not have any intention of seizing power, they can make their own
The power is more powerful, who doesn't like it?
Ma Yue burst into laughter, indescribable joy. In fact, Ma Yue was not only awarded the title of General of the Western Conquest because of Fei Qian, but more importantly, this time Fei Qian went south to Guanzhong, and his father Ma Yan followed him, so since
Fei Qian has won the reward, so his father Ma Yan will naturally get some credit. In this way, there will be no embarrassing situation where his current rank is slightly higher than that of his father Ma Yan...
"Such a happy event should come to light!" Ma Yue suggested.
Xu Huang nodded and ordered the guards on the side to get drinks. The three of them each poured a bowl, then raised it high, congratulated Fei Qian, and drank it all in one gulp.
After putting down the wine bowl, Xu Huang remembered what Zhang Ji had just said about Yuvluo's drinks, and told Ma Yue again.
After listening to this, Ma Yue also felt a little headache, and said: "This guy doesn't say anything directly... Why don't you send someone to ask who sent it?"
Xu Huang shook his head and said slowly: "Yu Fuluo is not a subordinate of us. This matter... is mostly for the sake of the prince's face, so he notified us. As for other things..."
Xu Huang did not speak completely. In fact, this time can be regarded as a test by Yu Fuluo. It was not a test of Fei Qian, but a test of the abilities of Xu Huang and the other three. After all, there are Han people here in Yinshan.
There are also Hu people, and although we can get along pretty well now, there should ultimately be a hierarchy, or which party should take the lead.
Of course, if Fei Qian is here, everything will be fine, but the problem is that Fei Qian can't always be here, so he needs to show some skills, otherwise he will be looked down upon by Fulo, and will compare when something really happens.
Passive...
When Xu Huang said this, Ma Yue did not refute.
During this period of time, Ma Yue and Zhang Ji saw Xu Huang's dedication and efforts in dealing with various matters, and they also understood why Fei Qian handed over the Yinshan base camp to Xu Huang to take charge, because there were some things that Ma Yue and Zhang Ji really did.
Not coming……
"The two leaders are out on guard. Did they notice anything unusual?" Xu Huang asked.
Xu Huang was mostly stationed near the camp and handling affairs, so those patrolling outside were usually Ma Yan and Zhang Ji.
Ma Yue shook his head from side to side and said: "Abnormal? Hmm... I suddenly remembered something... A few days ago, there were many fights in the camp outside the village, and they were all whipped on the spot... The rest
Well, it doesn’t seem like there’s anything big going on…”
"This... fights and fights count?" Zhang Ji looked at Ma Yue and then at Xu Huang.
In Zhang Ji's view, quarreling and fighting with each other is nothing at all. Over there in Xiliang, ordinary people talk to each other by shaking their necks. As for fighting, they are all men who can't see eye to eye.
If there is less than one place, just use your fists to measure the size. Isn't this normal? Therefore, Zhang Ji has never taken this kind of thing seriously.
Hearing Zhang Ji's words, Xu Huang couldn't help but frowned again, and a haze suddenly flashed in his heart...
