Thirty thousand Qiang troops and more than a dozen large and small tribes, all united soldiers and horses, were all wiped out overnight.
It has become a large-scale Beijing temple on the edge of the Yellow River.
No one among the surrendered Qiang prisoners dared to speak.
Wang Ding gathered his troops and horses and was not in a hurry to return to the court.
Instead, Zhang Liao was asked to continue running in the Hetao with his cavalry.
Passing through each tribe, showing off the military power of the Han army.
Wherever they passed, the Qiang tribe had lost 90% of their prime-age members, and the remaining people could only tremble in front of the Han army.
Zhang Liao's purpose was to show off the military strength of the Han army. He did not massacre the remaining old, weak, women and children among the Qiang tribes.
Wang Ding also needs these people to help him build a city in Hetao.
The Hetao is not only for sheep herding, it can also be used as cultivated land.
In addition, this place will also become Wang Ding's racecourse, which will provide Wang Ding with a steady stream of war horses in the future.
His cavalry will sweep across the Han Dynasty.
When Wang Ding was still in Hetao, Qiang tribesmen came every day with cattle and sheep from thousands of miles away to offer gifts to Wang Ding.
In addition to cattle and sheep, there are actually beauties in their tribe.
I just hope that Wang Ding can let their tribe go so that they can continue to survive here.
Thousands of Han cavalry roam around their tribe every day, and no one can feel at ease.
I would rather spend money to eliminate disaster and surrender to Wang Ding.
Wang Ding did not refuse, as long as these Qiang people were afraid.
There were only 100,000 Qiang people in Hetao, but after several successive deaths, the number of Qiang people killed by the Han army now exceeds 40,000, and they are all young and strong.
The remaining Qiang people will not be able to recover in just a few years. If they do not want to be exterminated, they can only rely on the Han.
If you really escape to Mobei, you will become a trophy of the Northern Huns.
Wang Ding does not necessarily want to kill everyone.
The Han Dynasty is a famous nation that embraces all rivers, and these Qiang people will also become Han people in the future.
However, Wang Ding discovered that the Hetao area is already close to Bingzhou. It is adjacent to Shuofang County in Bingzhou.
Wang Ding wants to turn this place into his own racecourse, but he still has to beware of Lu Bu.
Lu Bu is now the shepherd of Bingzhou. During this period of time, he has also completed the integration of Bingzhou.
It is estimated that we will also take action against the tribes on the grassland soon.
Wang Ding stayed in Hetao for more than half a month before returning with his army.
However, he kept Li Su and assigned some cavalry and infantry to Li Su.
In addition, Wang Ding also left Zhang Yu and Chen Shan with Niu Shisan to help Niu Shisan control other Qiang tribes.
The Niu Li tribe will directly become puppets and raise horses for the king in Hetao.
The men and horses in Li Su's hands are to guard against the Xiongnu and Lu Bu who may appear.
As he reminded Li Su last time, Wang Ding is not worried about Li Su colluding with Lu Bu now.
Zhang Liao was a few days later than Wang Ding. He made sure that there was no threat in the Hetao before returning with his cavalry.
A few days later, they caught up with Wang Ding, and the two sides met in Beijing for the first time to make peace.
Rentou Mountain is still there, and no one wants to get close to it.
The civilians who were transporting grain and grass had already evacuated in advance and have now returned to Chang'an.
The harvest this time was great, but there were cattle, sheep and war horses. Wang Ding took some of them back, but left most of them on the grassland, leaving Niu Shisan in charge of domesticating them.
If necessary in the future, I will send it to Chang'an.
Half a month later, Wang Ding returned to Chang'an.
This battle lasted the longest, taking almost three months.
When I left, the rice seedlings outside Chang'an City had just been planted.
When I came back, the rice seedlings had already grown ears, and they were lush and green. I saw that in one or two years, the harvest would be ready.
Outside the city, there are farmers weeding rice fields.
When they saw Wang Ding returning with his army, no one panicked. At most, they just looked up and continued to do their own things.
Wang Dingdao: "The cavalry dismounted. Don't let the horses panic and destroy the rice fields."
More than 5,000 cavalrymen and generals with war horses, under Wang Ding's order, all dismounted and walked. Leading their horses, they walked carefully past the rice fields.
There will be a bumper harvest in a few months. At this time, the rice fields are destroyed, and the farmers have worked in vain for most of the year. Even if they work hard in the second half of the year, they will definitely not be able to get enough food for the family.
Whether ordinary people can have enough to eat depends on how much food can be harvested in the autumn harvest.
Although you can grow some crops in other seasons, it is definitely not comparable to the autumn harvest.
Wang Ding led the bay-red horse and walked past a farmer. The farmer didn't know Wang Ding, but he avoided it and bent down to pull out weeds in the field.
Wang Ding took a look and saw that there was still water in the rice fields, and there were canals nearby, all of which were pumped up from the Wei River by water trucks.
This year there is still drought in many places, and there is very little rainfall in Chang'an.
If we go by previous years, there will already be a large field that will be short of water and dry up.
But this year, no field outside the city has been short of water.
Even in some fields, the water from the canals cannot be irrigated directly, but farmers can carry water from the canals for irrigation, which is only a few dozen meters away. It is very convenient and does not take much time.
Today, no land in the world is as peaceful and peaceful as Chang'an.
In front of you are lush rice fields, farmers with smiling faces, and behind them are soldiers with orders and prohibitions.
Wang Ding is filled with a sense of accomplishment.
All this was brought about by him.
In many aspects, he cannot compare with Zhang Liao Jia Xu and others, but Zhang Liao Jia Xu cannot bring such changes to Chang'an.
Everyone’s mission is different.
The cavalry and infantry returned to their military camps outside the city.
Wang Ding took a group of soldiers and entered the city.
After not coming back for three months, Chang'an City has become more and more prosperous.
There are more people on the streets.
Regardless of whether Liu Xie is a puppet emperor or not, he is in Chang'an, and Chang'an is the center of the Han Dynasty, so it will naturally attract many people.
There are merchants and aristocratic families, some are for fame and some are for profit.
Wang Ding doesn't care what the purpose of the people who come to Chang'an is.
As long as they are not here to cause trouble, Wang Ding will open his hands to welcome their arrival.
However, not everyone in Chang'an City is happy that Wang Ding has returned from this great victory.
There are always some people who are inexplicably worried and suspicious.
I am afraid that Wang Ding will, like Dong Zhuo, start to control the government and bring chaos to the government.
People who say they are afraid of Wang Ding causing trouble to Chao Gang, Wang Ding understands in his heart that what they are more afraid of is that they will take away his power.
This is what they are most worried about.
Wang Ding didn't care about them. When he returned to Chang'an City, he was not in a hurry to enter the palace.
It has been three months, and he misses Diao Chan more than the intrigues in the court.
There are people who think Wang Ding is a threat, but there are more people who want to curry favor with Wang Ding.
Whether they are from aristocratic families or merchants, there are people who want to get in touch with Wang Ding.
It's just that the merchants were of low status, so no one dared to visit Wang Ding directly. Instead, some people from aristocratic families came to visit him directly when they heard that Wang Ding was back.
Wang Dingcai wanted to make out with Diao Chan, but a servant came to report that someone from the Sima family in Hanoi was visiting.
