Chapter 108

Chapter 108 Traveling alone

The migration of tens of thousands of women and children, as well as cattle, sheep, war horses and other assets was definitely not a day's work.

Not to mention, Di Wang Fu Zhang is under suspicion.

If he were not careful enough and the news was leaked, Cao Wei and King Di would be able to detect him, and he might be executed before he left Yinping County.

Therefore, Zheng Pu, he, Zhuge Qiao and others worked together and sent people back to Hanzhong County to ask Prime Minister Zhuge Liang for instructions on how to "hide the sky and cross the sea".

Autumn, August.

After the autumn harvest of the Fuzhang tribe was completed, half of the tribe returned to their original habitat, living in the southern part of Wudu County.

He claimed that due to his improper scheduling last year, many small tribes on Jinggu Road suffered heavy losses. He felt guilty, so he wanted to give up part of the pastures and acres for those tribes to thrive and express his gratitude.

In this regard, the small tribes on Jinggu Road flocked to it.

However, King Yin Ping Di heard this and didn't take it seriously. He just cursed Fu Zhang secretly for being cunning.

He was able to occupy a county between Cao Wei and the Han Dynasty, so he certainly had a keen mind.

He knew that Fu Zhang's actions were not unreasonable generosity, but that he was retreating in order to gain attention.

The first is to use pastures and acres of land to make the tribal chiefs who slander him keep silent about last year's events.

The other is to protect the tribe from war.

If the Han army at Baishui Pass can leave the pass once and plunder Jinggu Road, it may not be possible for them to do so a second time. Fu Zhang gave up the pastures and fields and retreated to the rear. If the Han army comes out again, those small tribes will become a barrier.

.

When there is giving up, there is also gain.

What is there to praise?

However, even if he has a strong mind and is as clear as a mirror, he still leaves this matter unchecked.

Because almost all of his direct tribes gathered in Yinpingdao.

Moreover, due to military considerations, there must be a small town in the pastures and fields near Jinggu Road to act as the eyes and ears of the Han army, so that he and the Qiaotou garrison can be informed of the movements of the Han army in a timely manner.

It was Fu Zhang's plan to lure those small tribes to serve as weapon buffers by offering profits.

As for Qiang Duan himself, as long as the bridge garrison is as solid as a rock, he has no intention or leisure to talk about other trivial matters.

Therefore, he fell into a trap.

In other words, he never expected that Fu Zhang would abandon him.

After all, when Bashu was still in Jingzhou and the country was strong, Fu Zhangdu abandoned Ma Chao and attached himself to him.

Now that Bashu is in decline, what reason is there to rely on it?

Fu Zhang, who learned that Qiang Duan had not made any move, breathed a sigh of relief.

In the meantime, they first let the old, weak, women and children drive cattle, sheep and horses into Wudu County, and then went straight to Guancheng. There were already corresponding Han troops waiting there to escort them into Hanzhong County.

As for why not, just take the more convenient and safer Baishui Pass and enter the area controlled by the Han army.

Zheng Pu and Fu Zhang both had a tacit understanding and avoided talking about it.

The reason is not that the road from Baishui Pass to Guancheng is difficult.

It's because the trust between the two parties has not yet been fully established.

The garrison at Baishui Pass only numbered two thousand, while Fu Zhang's tribe numbered more than five thousand.

Zheng Pu'an dares to confirm that the Di people who swarmed in will not seize the opportunity to seize the opportunity?

And in order to avoid suspicion, how could Fu Zhang dare to ask Yan Xie?

However, the migration of women, children and property through Wudu County was quite smooth.

After Cao Wei moved all the Han people and some Di people from Wudu County, there were very few troops stationed in the county due to the problem of food and fodder supply. They only guarded the three counties of Xiabian, Shanglu and Wudu Dao.

I was not surprised by the migration of the talisman.

Early September.

Knowing that all the old, weak, women and children were admitted to Hanzhong County, Fu Zhang gathered all the chiefs garrisoning at Qiaotou and claimed that he was a powerful man and a feudal lord, and that his eldest son Fu Jian could receive voluntary services.

"I returned to the Han Dynasty because of the brutality of Cao Wei. I have learned from the mistakes of King Xingguo Di and King Hechi Di, and I don't want to follow suit! You all should think about it for yourselves!"

Immediately, he dropped these words and galloped away with his young horses.

Many chiefs of the Di tribes were left behind. After looking at each other in disbelief, their faces changed and they thought secretly.

After hearing the news, King Di, Qiang Duan, personally led his troops and galloped over. However, he could only watch the people go to guard the empty bridge, and cursed with anger.

In particular, what greeted him was a group of chiefs who were deeply affected by Fu Zhang's words and had different thoughts.

However, counting the time, he could no longer catch up with Fu Zhang.

After dividing his troops and letting his confidants take over as the commander of the Qiaotou garrison, he sent people to report the matter to Guo Huai, the governor of Yongzhou. Based on the pros and cons of mutual dependence, he claimed that he divided his troops to garrison at Qiaotou, and it would be difficult to deal with the Baima Qiang from the northwest.

Langqiang's bandits asked Guo Huai to send some soldiers and horses to garrison on Dianshi Road.

When Guo Huai received his reward, he was lamented by Fu Zhang's capriciousness and annoyed by Wang Qiang Duan's incompetence in controlling his subordinates.

Tribes with tens of thousands of people migrated under their noses without even a hint of news!

How can you be so stupid and master the evil in the county?

However, out of anger, he still sent five hundred soldiers to Yinping County to defend Longyou.

Only sending 500 troops seems stingy.

In fact, today's Guo Huai is also quite stretched.

The main force of Yongzhou is mainly stationed in Chang'an, Guanzhong.

Liangzhou's garrison was mainly located in Wuwei County, one of the four counties in Hexi, to resist the raids by the Xianbei invaders in Hetao.

At the beginning of the year, Qu Ying of Xiping County raised troops. Although he was razed by General Hao Zhao, it also caused turmoil among the Qiang and Hu tribes in Longyou and the Di tribe who were moved to Tianshui.

Some people with evil intentions secretly sent tribesmen to pretend to be bandits and raid homes and rob houses everywhere.

There are also those who are disobedient, such as the Qiang people in the Heshou area, who secretly conspire together and seem to want to imitate one or two.

At such a time when people's hearts are in turmoil, his troops are all on guard in various counties and counties, so how can he have any extra troops to support the strong end?

However, five hundred soldiers are enough to fight against the foreign Qiang and Hu.

Guo Huai thought to himself.

Yi Ran wrote a letter to Luoyang, claiming that Bashu had begun to move in the northwest on the grounds that King Fu Zhang of Di had defected to the Han, and asked Cao Rui to issue an edict to force some Di tribes from Wudu County to relocate again.

Walk.

To avoid being lured to surrender by Bashu, one thing will decline and the other will increase.

As for whether Bashu might send troops to the northwest, he did not speculate.

Because the Han army once again gave up the opportunity to occupy the bridgehead and garrison it.

Report it according to the facts, mention it vaguely, and let the temple officials make the decision!

The authority of the temple had just been transferred, and as a general guarding the border areas, it was better not to be suspected of seeking more troops to show self-respect based on speculation.

Of course.

Guo Huai, who had been guarding the border in the northwest for many years, felt that Bashu's recent actions were too frequent due to Fu Zhang's rebellion.

It's just that I feel confused, but I don't dare to confirm it.

Zheng Pu didn't know anything about this.

He was now stationed at Yang'ankou, looking at Fu Zhang who had just led the young man through the Nanzhu siege, and bowed to the ground with great respect.

Prime Minister Zhuge Liang came to greet him in person.

Next to him, Yang Yi, who joined the army, was holding the emperor's edict and proclaiming it loudly.

Well, the Prime Minister asked Yang Yi to take charge of dividing the land, allocating houses, and other matters to accommodate the Fuzhang people.

According to the policy of dividing the surrendered Qiang, Hu and Di tribes into "large mixed settlements and small settlements" during the reign of Emperor Wu, Fu Zhang's tribe was divided into three tribes. They were located in Li County of Guanghan County, Linqiong County of Shu County, and Nanzheng County of Hanzhong County.

Dwell.

Geographical isolation eliminates the possibility of them gathering in crowds to riot in the future.

He was also thinking about assimilating these Di people into the Han family in the way that Han and Di people lived together for decades.

The affairs involved were complicated and trivial, so Yang Yi, who was known for his high efficiency, was asked to handle them.

Yang Yi was sent and felt quite valued.

However, he did not know that when the Prime Minister watched him take the order and leave, he also sighed in his heart.

"If you are not of my race, your heart must be different. I know that the prime minister treated Di Wang Fuzhang with such kindness that he was worth a thousand pieces of gold, which made other Qiang and Hu tribes admire him and imitate him. However, he appointed his eldest son to lead the righteous generals.

I'm afraid it won't be good for me as a big man. I hope the prime minister will miss you."

When he was ordered to do so, he advised the prime minister like this.

There is nothing wrong with this statement.

On the contrary, it is quite far-sighted.

However, when the Prime Minister smiled and nodded, his heart was full of sadness.

The worry that had always been hidden in his heart, that because the Han Dynasty was confined in the secluded land of Bashu, would lead to the eyes of the officials being restrained, finally turned into a fact.

Even Yang Yi, who was favored by him, was not immune.

It is true that Yang Yi's advice is to look at things one step at a time, three steps at a time, which is very appropriate.

However, for the prime minister who is the leader of a country, Yang Yi's words did not understand the overall situation.

When Zheng Pu mentioned whether Fu Jian could be appointed as a righteous general, the prime minister immediately took advantage of the situation and made a decision on how to make the Qiang and Hu tribes fight for the Han Dynasty.

What is the difference between allowing Fu Jian to become a righteous servant and allowing the nephew of a wealthy family in Yizhou to become a monk and raise funds for a tribe?

The Qiang and Hu tribes and the various tribes of Di people are just another form of "Yizhou tycoon"!

At a time when the Han Dynasty is in decline and the Wei Dynasty is getting stronger, we should take advantage of the situation and gather all the manpower and material resources as much as possible for the Northern Expedition!

If the benefits are not given, the wealthy people in Yizhou will not serve wholeheartedly.

If Fu Jian is not allowed to accept Yi Cong, the talisman seal will not contain a big man.

To curb the power of the Yizhou tycoons, they could only eliminate their power by moving away from Shu after they captured Guanzhong in the future.

Now, all members of the Fuzhang tribe have been registered in their household registrations!

In just a few decades, they would be no different from other generals of the Han Dynasty.

Why worry about losing the big tail in the future?

And, don’t you see, after rebelling against Wei and occupying Yongliang territory, the Qiang and Hu tribes repeatedly rebelled?

If the Han Dynasty and the rebel Wei adopt the method of containing the Qiang and Hu tribes because they are worried about losing their strength, even if they attack Longyou in the future, these Qiang and Hu tribes will still raise their troops to rebel against the Han Dynasty.

I would like to ask, if there is an attack from the outside against the Wei Dynasty and there is a Qiang and Hu rebellion inside, can Longyou'an defend the evil?

Furthermore, for national wars, the war potential is population, money and food.

The population of Bashu was far less than that of Niwei.

If you want to conquer the Central Plains and revive the Han Dynasty, how can you compete with the Wei Dynasty if you only rely on the Bashu state?

Even if the money and food consumption of Ni Wei and the battle losses of soldiers are three times or even five times that of the Han Dynasty, Bashu, which has long been exhausted, will be dragged down.

Don’t you see, during the Battle of Hanzhong when the late emperor was still alive, Bashu already had a situation where “men should fight and women should luck”?

In this case, why not show them kindness, lure them with benefits, and drive the Qiang, Hu and Di tribes to be used by our great Han?

Moreover, in the land of Yongliang, the population of Qiang and Hu people was larger than that of Han Lishu.

If Fu Zhang is treated favorably, it will make the Qiang and Hu tribes in the two prefectures of Yongliang admire our great Han. They have repeatedly raised armies to rebel against Wei, and the rebellion against Wei will never have peace!

However, the favor of eight hundred righteous followers and two princes from one clan can induce unrest in the Wei Dynasty.

Who can't give up evil?

Husband, there are all kinds of people in this world, all in different shapes and forms.

Some are fond of good reputation, some are admiring literature, some are greedy for money, some are in love with power, some are interested in making achievements, some are trying to survive, some are seeking to promote their family status, some are seeking to leave a name in history.

What you want is different.

If you force someone to die, you should get what you want first.

Otherwise, if the world has been in turmoil for decades, how can there be unexpected joy coming from the sky?

It's just that we took advantage of the situation, and everything we had planned for a long time came to fruition!

Not to mention, the inclusion of this talisman seal has enabled the Han Dynasty to add thousands of households.

In other words, Fu Zhang used tens of thousands of clan members as bargaining chips to exchange favors and honors with me, a big man.

You are such a talented person, why is it that one leaf obscures your eyesight?

Seeing Yang Yi's back gradually disappearing into the distance, the Prime Minister's heart was filled with loneliness.

In particular, the Prime Minister also remembered that a few days ago, Yang Yi and Wei Yan had a verbal conflict due to the deployment of military supplies.

well.

After he withdrew his gaze and turned his head to the east, he saw Zheng Pu leaving after saying goodbye. The prime minister's eyes were filled with sadness, and he felt a little relieved.

Although the journey is long, I still have this son following me.

Know my worries, pay attention to my concerns, plan what I think, advise me on what I do, and I will not do it alone!

Very good.

However, the prime minister didn't know it and had misunderstood.

Zheng Pu had no idea what he was thinking.

At first, Zheng Pu admonished Fu Zhang to be kind to Fu Zhang and let Fu Jian become a righteous servant. He did not expect that this would make the Qianghu tribes in Yongliang and Liang prefectures admire the Han people, and would benefit the Northern Expedition. At that time, he was only thinking about this.

The problem was that I felt that it had disrupted the Prime Minister's Northern Expedition plan, so I had no choice but to do my best to make up for it.

How can one draw inferences from one instance and be as far-sighted as the prime minister?

He is not a person who is in charge of the country, and his thoughts and concerns cannot be the same as those of the prime minister.

In other words, he had been busy with other things and had no time to think carefully about how to tie the Qiang and Hu tribes into the chariot of the Han Dynasty's Northern Expedition when the troops left Longyou.

He is also a human being. Although he has the ability to plan and plan, he is not omnipotent.

Well, he is on his way to Chenggu County now.

He returned to the duty that had been delayed due to the attachment of King Fu Zhang of Di: to assist Wei Yan in regulating the war in the three eastern counties.

Of course, this is a polite statement.

In fact, Wei Yan was a veteran general in the army and had been fighting for many years. Why did he need to say anything about the planning of the war?

This is just because this war was planned and advocated by him, and the prime minister also wanted to cultivate it, so he sent him to observe Wei Yan's management.

Therefore, Zheng Pu had been thinking about how to get along with Wei Yan along the way.

This Hanzhong prefect, who was always known for his unruly nature, was very domineering when they met for the first time, which made him feel quite unhappy.

After this incident, I must always remind myself that I need to suppress my stubborn temperament, so as not to cause a conflict with Wei Yan and let the prime minister's careful cultivation fail.

However, it was quite unexpected.

Wei Yan's attitude towards him changed slightly.

Because of the people he brought with him and the new edict issued by the emperor.
