After dealing with the Qiang people's affairs, Su Ren can finally take a rest. Ever since he came to lead the Western Regions, Su Ren's nerves have been tense every moment. The prototype of Yumen Pass has been formed, and the population in the city is enough. At this time, even if
King Xiutu wanted to betray his promise, and Su Ren was able to fight. With the example of the Qiang people, people kept coming to defect to him, which made Su Ren very happy.
Of course, Su Ren does not need to do these things personally. City Zhang Qian, who has taken office, is working very hard to take care of everything in Yumen Pass. Zhang Qian has regarded Yumen as his lifelong goal to maintain, and has made it more than a dozen times in front of Su Ren.
He swore an oath that even if he died, he would be buried at Yumen Pass, and he would always watch over the Han Dynasty's gate, and always guard the Han Dynasty from being invaded by foreigners. Su Ren raised his hands and feet in agreement with this.
First he poured himself a cup of tea, and then filled the tea bowl in front of Zhang Qian. The two of them sat in the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, quietly looking at the busy crowd outside the door: "The Great Order..."
"Call me the Grand Administrator! The imperial court has decreed that I should be the Grand Administrator of Yumen!"
Su Ren smiled and nodded: "Okay, but it seems that Daxingling is a little bigger than the prefect. Doesn't Prefect Zhang feel a little uncomfortable?"
Zhang Qian took a sip of tea and said: "Yumen Pass is the western gate of my Han Dynasty. To be optimistic about Yumen Pass is to be optimistic about the western gate of the Han Dynasty. I feel very honored that Your Majesty can entrust me with this important task. How can I have any complaints?"
Su Ren nodded: "That's good! Then the prefect will always be stationed at Yumen Pass and guard the west gate for my big man!"
Zhang Qian nodded solemnly: "This is natural. Don't worry, General Su. Even if I die, I will definitely hold on. Now that you know that General Su is coming with his army, don't you feel relieved?"
Su Ren chuckled and said: "I have no doubt about this, general, but have you ever thought about it, the prefect, there are not many Han people in this city. After Yumen Pass is completely completed, I, the general, will leave, and the people you will leave behind will be
not much."
Zhang Qian glanced at Su Ren: "General Su is worried about those Qiang people?"
Su Ren nodded: "I have received news that the Qiang people recruited by us have been very active recently, and none of them are very peaceful. I also heard that they privately recommended Fan Gu as Zanpu. The name of Zanpu is very good.
You don’t just come here casually. Only the king of those people on the plateau will be called Zanpu. Governor Zhang should pay attention to this matter!"
Zhang Qian frowned: "Is this really true?"
"Prefect Zhang doesn't believe it? Of course only the first batch of Qiang people who came participated, and the Qiang people we later released into the city did not join."
Zhang Qian lowered his head and pondered. Although he was an official, the time he spent standing in the court was not as long as the time he spent eating. There was no problem in letting him govern the place, or thank him for specific things. Once it involved such tricky things, Zhang Qian was a little unable to do what he wanted.
After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't come up with a solution. This can't be blamed on Zhang Qian. Zhang Qian is a gentleman and he doesn't know how to use many methods.
Su Ren looked at Zhang Qian's dilemma with a smile on his face. He just wanted to laugh. He picked up the tea bowl and drank every sip. Jin Rixi was standing behind Zhang Qian. He also heard what the two said and saw the teacher frowning.
Jin Rixi said: "Since they have no good intentions, just kill them!"
Zhang Qian was stunned and immediately raised his head: "Nonsense! Although they had objections, they did not carry out the plan. Arresting people at this time will make the Qiang people have other ideas. Even if some people don't want to follow them, as long as we kill people,
They will take risks!"
Jin Rihui was taught a lesson by the teacher and silently lowered his head, but at the end he was still muttering: "I didn't mean to kill him either!"
Zhang Qian became even more angry: "What's the difference between killing someone behind the scenes, being dishonest and being a robber? We are dignified Han officials, and we must do everything upright!"
Su Ren found it very interesting. The scene of Zhang Qian training his disciples reminded him of his two students Huo Qubing and Liu Zhi. He was a very incompetent teacher. He had the name of a teacher, but he did not teach the two students well.
, I don’t know if they have made any progress now. Huo Qubing and Su Ren are not worried. Liu Zhi has always given Su Ren a headache.
Jin Rihui no longer dared to speak and acted like he was bowing his head to be taught. However, Su Ren knew that this guy would definitely not be convinced. He smiled and said to the two of them: "What our eunuch said is reasonable. No law can cure it."
For those ideological crimes, even if the case is settled, physical evidence must be verified. This is an ironclad case. Now that the Qiang people are newly charged, even if they have other ideas, we must have evidence."
"Assassination is an even more despicable method. Even if we didn't do it now, everyone would think it was us, let alone us. Once the Qiang people really rebel, there will be no other reason.
I don’t even have the courage to argue. This is what is often called a guilty conscience. I listen to your teacher and think of other ways."
Jin Rixi nodded slightly, glanced at Zhang Qian, bowed and saluted: "The student is wrong, please punish him!"
Zhang Qian sighed: "You are still the right teacher, I am in vain to be a teacher!"
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, then drank tea. As for whether the Qiang people really wanted to rebel, they didn't seem to care.
Fan Gu, as the leader of the Qiang people, does have other meanings. He can also see that in Yumen City, the Qiang people are almost all the people in the city, whether they are the people from the Western Regions who came early or the Han people who founded Yumen.
Or maybe the Huns who surrendered were not as numerous as one of their tribes in total. Although the Han people controlled a small number of troops, Shan Gu also understood that if there really was a fight, with their numerical superiority, even if the Han people were
How many Qiang people can you kill with bravery?
The whole room was filled with leaders of various tribes. Fan Gu was sitting at the head of the table, with the richest delicacies placed on the low table in front of him. Today he was hosting a banquet to discuss the future of the Qiang people. The banquet started in the morning and lasted until
It lasted until dark, and everyone drank too much, lying on the ground one by one. The Qiang dancers were not very good at dancing. Su Ren had seen them before, and they looked like they were jumping rope.
Shan Gu also drank a lot of wine and leaned in the arms of a maid, enjoying the maid's service. Suddenly, someone in the field shouted: "Stop! Stop dancing! What's the point of dancing softly? You should look at the majestic dance."
A warrior’s performance!”
Shan Gu didn't open his eyes. He recognized who this person was. Zaji from the Earth Pony Tribe was the bravest among them. This guy was extraordinarily tall, and the flesh on his body could tell the feeling of mountains and rivers. Zaji
He is the person who supports Fan Gu the most, and Fan Gu also values the most for him, because Zaji's earth pony tribe has three thousand warriors. This time, there are 1,500 people who followed him. If they were placed in the Qiang land, 1,500
Humans can already destroy a large tribe.
The Qiang dancer quickly bent down and retreated. Zaji held the wine bottle in one hand and his waist knife in the other, staggering to the middle of the hall. He pointed the tip of the knife at everyone and turned around: "Look at you,
Each one is like a sheep. Although this Jade Gate was built by the Han people, it will be ours sooner or later. You can look around in this city. We Qiang people are everywhere. Believe it or not, as long as Zanpu raises his arms and shouts, it will be ours.
Let those Han people die without a burial place!"
Zaji has made such remarks many times. At the beginning, some people stood up and asked him to laugh a little, but now no one has any reaction. Just let a drunk man say what he wants to say.
, if they offend the Han people and get killed, the warriors of the Earth Pony tribe might become the treasures of their own tribe.
"Zanpu! Just tell these weaklings your plan and let them see your strategy, Zanpu!"
The fan bone did not move, and Zaji impatiently came to the fan bone and waved away the maids who were serving the fan bone: "Zanpu, just say it! Sooner or later, these cowards will know about this matter!"
He turned his head to the people below and said: "Listen, all of you, prick up your ears and listen to our great plan of Zanpu!"
Shan Gu stood up slowly and glanced at everyone: "Do you really want to hear it?"
Some people flattered Fan Gu wildly and immediately expressed their desire to listen. Only a few people did not say anything. These people were all in the minds of the merchants, and they were just waiting for the banquet to end. Fan Gu chuckled: "Since you want to listen, then
Let me tell you, it’s actually very simple. What Zhaji said is correct. Have you ever thought about it, since we have the largest number of Qiang people in Yumen City, why do we have to listen to those Han people? Why can’t we be our own masters?
!”
"Why did we come all the way to the Western Regions? Isn't it just to have a foothold? Erma doesn't know the current affairs and insists on entering the Gobi Desert. What's so good about that place? Look around the Yumen, there are mountains and forests.
There are still fertile fields in the grassland. As long as we occupy Yumen, we will be able to recover in less than three years, and it is not impossible to fight back by then!"
"Yumen is a good place. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it blocks the sweet and cool roads. In Su Ren's words, it won't be long before Yumen City becomes a place for transactions between Westerners and Han people. By then, money and goods will be all over the place.
Assembling here, as masters, don’t we get what we want?”
Shan Gu glanced at everyone again: "Don't worry about those Han people. They may be able to defend the city, but we have entered the city now. Even if the Han troops are brave, under the siege of our Qiang warriors, why can't we just submit obediently? Don't
I'm afraid, there are so many of us, we will die if we die. What's the point of having Yumen? The Han people are different. The fact that these people can come to Yumen has already hindered our fortune. As long as we can drive them out, with the few soldiers and horses,
There’s no way we can get in!”
"The Han people have prepared everything for us. It seems very inappropriate not to take it. Since Heaven has given us a chance, letting it go would be disrespectful to Heaven. Are you right?"
"Yes!" Those guys who were in the same camp as Shan Gu shouted happily. They didn't notice that the waiter standing at the back wall holding a silver pot stood quietly but his ears were shaking continuously.
Zaji laughed loudly: "Have you heard that? This Jade Gate belongs to us! As long as Zanpu gives the order, if anyone fails to help, then don't blame me for being ruthless!" (To be continued)
