Chapter 22: Stabilize Jishi Mountain (2)
In the winter of the fifth year of Yuanding in Emperor Wu of Han (112 BC), the Hun Wuwei Shanyu invaded Wuyuan County. At the same time, the overlord of the Hehuang Valley, Xianling Qiang invaded the Han territory. General Li Xi and the Langzhong Order Xu Ziwei led his army to resist. Xianling Qiang was defeated and retreated. He fled west along the Hehuang Valley, and crossed the Riyue Mountain and fled into the Qinghai Plateau.
Xianling Qiang was defeated and fled to the plateau. Some of the scattered tribes were absorbed and annexed by the Shaodang Qiang near Riyue Mountain. Shaodang Qiang gradually became stronger since then, and some of them were defeated and preserved Xianling Qiang, forming another Qiang tribe - Beihe Qiang.
During the reign of Wang Mang, Wang Mang sent envoys into Qinghai, threatening and deceiving them. Beiheqiang moved out of Qinghai and ran to higher altitude areas.
Shaodang Qiang swallowed Xianling Qiang, who was defeated by the Han army, and then gradually became stronger. In the third year of Yuanhe of Emperor Zhang of the Eastern Han Dynasty (86 AD), the leader of Shaodang Qiang, Miwu, led his troops to rebel, and was defeated by the Han general Li Zhang, and captured Haowu alive. Haowu surrendered and the rebels were disbanded, but Fu Yu, the captain of the Qiang protection school, was unwilling to stop. Before the reinforcements came, he pursued the leader of Shaodang Qiang alone, but was lured by Miwu into the Dayu Valley. Fu Yu was deeply encircled and died in the Sandou Valley.
After Fu Yu's death, Zhang Yu, the prefect of Longxi, succeeded as the captain of the Qiang Huqiu. In July, the leader of Shaodang Qiang, Miwu led 7,000 cavalry to attack Jinchengsai again. Zhang Yu led 10,000 infantry and cavalry to meet the enemy. Miwu was defeated and fled west along the Hehuang Valley. The Han army caught up with Miwu's main force in Mubing Valley, and Miwu was defeated again.
Miwu was defeated and asked to surrender. Zhang Yu clearly agreed to Miwu surrender, but at a time, he massacred 800 Qiang leaders at a time at a banquet in Linqiang.
In the fifth year of Yongyuan (93rd year), the Qiang-gu captain Guan You rushed in and lived in the Shaodang Qiang Valley in Dayugu. The leader of Shaodang Qiang, Mitang, fled when he was defeated and fled.
In the 13th year of Yongyuan (101), Shaodang Qiang invaded the Han territory again, Mitang was completely defeated by the Han soldiers and fled to the head of the Cizhi River, which was at a higher altitude...
Huangfugui, Duan Yi and Zhang Huan in Sanming, Liangzhou all killed the Qiang in Hehuang, especially Duan Yi chased the Western Qiang for two thousand miles, from Wuwei County to Jishi Mountain. The two sides fought in Jishi Mountain in the final decisive battle. Duan Yi killed the Qiang, and the rest fled in all directions, either fled to the plateau or scattered into Jishi Mountain as thieves.
The Hehuang Qiang is the source of the Qiang people. The Qiang people in all the counties of Longxi, as well as the Shangjun and Xihe County under Bingzhou, were all defeated and settled by the Han army for three or four hundred years. Only Jishishan and Plateau Qiang are different. They are all excluded by the various divisions of Hehuang Qiang, or they cannot defeat the Han soldiers who fled.
Mengdu was one of the members who were excluded by the Hehuang Qiang. He knew that the differences between Jishishan and the Hehuang Qiang tribes were different. There was an irreconcilable contradiction between the two. It was impossible for the Hehuang Qiang tribes to take out their own tribe land and give them to Jishishan a hundred leaders for free.
Beigong Boyu will not give the land he wants most. No matter how good he says, his purpose is naturally self-evident.
As soon as Meng Du spoke, Dong Hu instinctively guessed what Beigong Boyu wanted to do.
Jishi Mountain is a sharp blade that cuts off the Hehuang Valley in half, and it is also a back road for Jincheng County. You can cross the river from Heguansai, kill along the Yellow River to the back of Jincheng City, and cut off the connection between Jincheng City and Longxi County with one knife.
Dong Hu knew very well that no matter how clearly he explained the pros and cons, it was the same as Beigong Boyu recruiting him, Jishishan would hesitate and sway. This has a lot to do with Jishishan being too chaotic. If you don’t sway and make decisions too early, you will only die faster in the complex struggles.
Listening to Meng Du telling Li Wenhou's advice, Dong Hu was silent for a moment...
"Brother Mengdu, Huwa is here alone, sincerity, and so on, even if the brother doesn't say it, the elder brother should know it."
"I came today not only because Huwa wants Brother An's heart, but also because he wants his brother to make some money."
Meng Du was stunned, shook his shoulders, and immediately became interested.
"Brother, I never bit my hands with money. Tell me, which unlucky guy did Brother Huwa fall in love with?"
Dong Hu smacked his lips twice and said, "Beigong Boyu, Shaodang Lao Wang thought Duan Jing was dead, and thought Zhang Huan was useless in old age, but how could he know that many generals of the court emerged."
Mengdu, Meng Wei brothers were stunned. After Dong Hu told the throne of the imperial court this time...
"No need to say about uncle Dong Zhuo, my brother must know, but my brother may not be familiar with Huangfu Song, the prefect of Beidi County."
Mengdu, the Meng Wei brothers looked solemn, and listened to Dong Hu continuing to speak.
"Sanming, Liangzhou, Huangfu Gui, Duan Bing, Zhang Huan. And Huangfu Song is the nephew of Huangfu Gui, the leader of Sanming..."
"Of course, even Huangfu Song is the nephew of Huangfu Gui, he can't say that he can fight. But if the two brothers knew that Xianbei Shanyu and Lian died at the hands of Huangfu Song, the Xianbei army that even the Huns feared would be defeated at the hands of Huangfu Song..."
"Brother, you say yourself, how could Huangfu Song be an incompetent person? Once this battle begins, the outcome will be the winner and the outcome of my brother will know in his heart!"
Mengdu and Meng Wei were shocked. Although they were nestled in Jishi Mountain, it did not mean that they did not know the power of the Xiongnu and Xianbei people. Even the Xianbei Shanyu died at the hands of Huangfu Song. How could they fight this battle?
Dong Hu sighed as if he hadn't seen the shock of the two people.
"In the sixth year of Xiping, the Wuhuan Chief Commander Xia Yu, defeated the Xianbei Chief General Tian Yan, and the Xiongnu Chief General Zang Min each led ten thousand cavalry to attack the Danhan Mountain, but was defeated miserably, and no ten escaped people left..."
"Short after the court's defeat, Xianbei Shanyu Tan Shihuai died of illness, and his son and Lian inherited Shanyu... If his brother had just become the king of Hehuang Qiang, he would definitely want to be more prestigious. If he was not more prestigious, how could others be afraid of themselves? If they were not afraid of themselves, how could they be honest and obedient?"
Looking at Meng Du, Meng Wei and the others couldn't help but nod, and Dong Hu sighed again.
"He Lian wanted to be majestic, so he naturally led countless troops, but he was defeated in Beidi County and even lost his life in Beidi County... No matter whether He Lian was too useless, the elite Xianbei soldiers in a hundred battles were real, right? But what happened? They still returned with a crushing defeat!"
"So, since Huwa learned who was the general of the imperial court to quell the rebellion, he was afraid that his brother would not understand. After hearing the damn Beigong Boyu's bewitching words, not only did he fail to get any benefits, but wouldn't he lose his life? Isn't that a loss?"
Dong Hu delivered the wine bag on his waist to Meng Du, who was solemn, and said, "When my uncle went to Chang'an to dispatch troops, he took away all the soldiers in Lintao. At this time, Lintao was no more soldiers... Brother knew about the ginseng wolf and Qiang?"
Mengdu and Meng Wei were suddenly shocked, and they finally understood what was going on.
Meng Wei hurriedly whispered: "Brother Huwa... do you want to swallow the ginseng wolf and Qiang people over the thousands of races?"
Dong Hu was about to nod, and suddenly thought of Li Wenhou who was coming. He turned his eyes and leaned closer to Meng Wei's head, and his voice was even lowered.
"Then Li Wenhou openly and secretly imply that the five thousand soldiers in Yunwu City were threatening his brother openly. In Huwa's opinion, Beigong Boyu must have a sneak attack on Jincheng Pass in winter. If his brother told Li Wenhou that there were no soldiers in Lintao, would Beigong Boyu send envoys into the Ganlang Valley? Will he bewitching the Ganlang Qiang into Lintao?"
Meng Wei didn't even think about it and said, "That's all right? It's definitely a scapegoat that ganlang Qiang will be a scapegoat!"
"Although this matter is small, the brother secretly told Li Wenhou that more or less can dispel their concerns and suspicions, and life will be easier, right?"
Dong Hu did not wait for Mengdu, Meng Wei nodded and whispered: "Huwa recruited two thousand soldiers in Lintao, and there were two thousand ginseng and wolf Qiang. He had the intention to make no plans. Huwa was sure to kill the wolf Meng. But Huwa also knew that the army was uneasy in Jishishan, so we ate it before the war, which was to boost morale before the war."
"After we eat the ginseng wolf and Qiang, Beigong Boyu should also fight with the court. At that time, you and my brothers will do a big deal, destroy Qiang in one fell swoop and burn it as Qiang overthrew it to the ground!"
Mengdu, Meng Wei's breathing was rapid, and the two looked at each other...
"Brother Huwa, how many soldiers should I get from Jishishan?" Meng Du spoke in a low voice.
"one thousand."
Seeing the two of them stunned, Dong Hu whispered: "There are too many people. If the damn Beigong Boyu finds it wrong, no one knows what kind of accident will happen."
The two nodded slightly, and Dong Hu continued, "This time, we Yin'er Lang Meng is to boost morale before the war and help my brother stabilize the morale. This time, Jishishan sent thousands of troops to send those restless guys to Lintao. My brother's family is the only one. Who else dares to talk to my brother in the entire Jishishan? After those restless guys snatched the ginseng and wolf Qiang, they also felt grateful to my brother..."
"If brother thinks which guys are too dangerous, it is also good to let him die at the hands of Gan Langqiang. Every time he goes out, he will be able to get a thousand elite soldiers."
Dong Hu sat upright and looked at Meng Du who was suddenly filled with wine. A trace of inexplicable meaning flashed in his eyes.
"Bang!"
Meng Du suddenly punched on the wooden board of the bed.
"My brother did this!"
The next moment, Meng Du suddenly approached Dong Hu again.
"How to distribute the gains?"
Dong Hu sighed in his heart, but there was nothing strange on his face, and he smiled and said, "According to the rules of Jishishan, how many soldiers there are, how much effort they put in, and how much food they eat."
"Ha ha……"
Meng Du suddenly laughed and slapped Dong Hu, who was also laughing loudly.
Mengdu, Meng Wei was very satisfied with Dong Hu. After discussing some details with him, he patted his shoulder a few times and left, looking for others to discuss how to send troops to Ganlang Qiang...
The two brothers became older and left by themselves. They didn't care whether their sister was alone or a widowed and a woman living in the same room.
Dong Hu had an adult soul hidden in his body. In his eyes, the thirteen or fourteen-year-old young man was just a baby. Just like she secretly ate maltose that she had saved her physical strength, he just laughed it off.
Although Yaowa is already at the age of getting married in this era, he only thinks he is a sister, and even the eighteen-year-old girl in the middle of the family is only raised by a girl.
Dong Hu didn't care that Yaowa was staying in his tent, but when he looked at her tilting her head, looking at her "big bad guy", he couldn't do anything about it, and he pushed her stretched head very much.
"If Bianba saw you like this, he would definitely beat you up!"
"snort!"
Yaowa's nose wrinkled, but there was a rare blush on her cheeks.
"It would be nice if Yaowa didn't beat him!"
"Tiger baby, you are so bad, it's hard to have babies with women. Or... or you don't marry Bianba, you'll marry you!"
"Bang!"
