There are 37 cities in Xihe County, Shangjun, Beidi County, and Anding County, with a total of 19,600 households... From Luliang Mountain to Longshan, from the northern end of the Guanzhong Plain to the Hetao Grassland, there are less than 20,000 households in such a huge area, less than 100,000 households, even less than 100,000 people. This is obviously impossible. There are 40,000 or 500,000 Qiang people in the four counties, and less than 100,000 are just Han people belonging to the 37 cities of the four counties.

The four counties are all Huns and Qiang people. The 100,000 registered Han people are just the numbers before Han Sui and others rebelled. How many can there be left after the chaos?

No one knew that Dong Hu could only roughly guess some cruel facts from the people collected by Lian County, and even half of the 100,000 Han people in the four counties could not be left.

Under the war, the wealthy and honest Han people were the first to be unlucky. If Cai Yong had not run to Pingcheng to borrow food, the Beidi County after the chaos would not be able to threaten Shuofang County. However, since the borrowing of food, the hungry people in the nearby Shangjun and Anding County ran to Beidi County, which allowed the good people to restore the destroyed Beidi County to a population of 70,000 to 80,000 before the war in a very short time.

Most of the 70,000 to 80,000 are old, weak, women and children, among which only 10,000 are young and strong. No matter how many people are young and strong, they are Han people, Qiang people, or Xiongnu people, only these 10,000 young and strong people are enough to gain the attention of Dong Hu.

Under the war, the originally happy and fulfilling families became fragmented. Liangzhou was already poor, and there were more bastards who were not hungry for one person to eat. After the Qiang people rebelled, there were more people with only one family, and most of the single-family families who could survive were young and strong men. According to Dong Hu's "borrow one and return one" rule of borrowing grain, if a single-family bastard wants to borrow grain, he must use himself as collateral, and these people became Dong Hu's tenants and helpers.

The most dangerous thing is to eat one person and not hungry for the whole family. This group of people has no worries and does not take their lives seriously. If they are not restrained, they will easily kill and rebel as long as they are slightly provoked. Dong Hu grew up in Liangzhou since childhood. When Cai Yong opened his mouth to borrow food, his first instinct was to control this group of guys first. As long as they restrained the bastards who were dead and birds facing the sky, even if others rebel, the harm caused would be much lower.

If Dong Hu did not mobilize the 20,000 infantry and cavalry of Shuofang County, he would not be too worried about the safety of Shuofang County. But once the 20,000 infantry and cavalry were transferred away, Shuofang County, which had been cultivated for three years, would it be dangerous. It would be like an unattended treasure placed in front of a group of thieves?

For this reason, the third reason why Dong Hu came to Fuping County was to draw the young and strong people from Beidi County to reduce the potential threat to Shuofang County.

The young and strong farmlands are easy to transfer, and they are all bastards who borrow and pay back one by one. The people of Beidi County are poor. Even if Dong Hu is a grain of grain or a cattle and sheep, they will not make any money. The poor are only one belly left to pay off their debts in a year. They are Dong Hu's tenant and helper. It is nothing to transfer the young and strong farmlands. In addition, people in Liangzhou know how Dong Hu started his business in the early days. After following Dong Hu as a mercenary, they may have paid off all their debts after the battle.

Anyway, they are all bastards who are dead and birds facing the sky. When they heard that Dong Hu wanted to regroup and recruit 5,000 mercenaries in Beidi County, three or four thousand people participated enthusiastically, and the remaining two thousand people...

The room was full of old and young people, but the atmosphere was a little heavy and depressing. After a long time, no one spoke, and it was still going to continue to be dull. A young man suddenly stood up and his face became a little cruel.

"That damn Dong Hu didn't give us all a way to live. It's amazing that we're against him!"

The young man was angry, and the man beside him threw a piece of firewood into the fire.

"Rebellion? King Huwa wishes you could rebel in the daytime!"

"you……"

"Okay!"

The young man was about to be angry, and the old man with frosted hair and white hair suddenly snorted coldly, which also shocked the angry young man.

"The King of Huwa made his words clearly and clearly. That damn Yu Fuluo, Hu Chuquan rebelled. If we don't show sincerity, the King of Huwa will attack us without hesitation. We... have no choice!"

After the old man said that, another old man next to him sighed.

"Brother Bala said that we have no choice. The three thousand iron cavalry brought by King Huwa is not something we can resist. Even if we want to escape, where can we escape?"

The young man refused to accept it and said, "Elder Gege, can we go to Hanyang County, either?"

Old Man Bala was about to be scolded by anger, but the princess grabbed the old man, turned his head white, and looked at everyone in the room one by one...

"The Qiang people in Liangzhou cannot trust us. If they go to Hanyang County, they will force us to fight with the Han soldiers. What will happen in the end... You should be clear."

"Even if the Qiang people in Liangzhou really accept us, do you really think that the Huwa King would let those people rebel in Liangzhou? There are hundreds of thousands of Huwa Kings in the Hehuang Valley! Will the Huwa Kings really abandon hundreds of thousands of tribesmen?"

The princess smiled bitterly and said, "The Huwa King defeated the powerful Xiongnu clan, and the Xianbei in Danhanshan also suffered heavy losses. This year, the Huwa King led tens of thousands of cavalry out of the frontier... If the Huwa King turned to attack Liangzhou, can the rebellious Qiang people in Liangzhou resist?"

"Besides, King Huwa is in Fuping County. Even if we go to Hanyang County immediately, can we leave?"

...

There was another suffocating silence in the room. Dong Hu had no choice at all. He either honestly took out two thousand young and strong people, or he would treat them as rebels and turn everyone into slaves.

"That's what it's decided, each department will draw two thousand young and strong people..."

"Bather! Without two thousand young and strong people, there are only old and weak in the clan. What if..."

"Shut up!"

Bala was furious and pointed at the dilapidated wooden door.

"Get out!"

"Babe..."

"Get out--"

Faced with the old man's anger, the day shifted his sleeves and came to the door to pull them open hard, then closed them heavily. Listening to the heavy door, everyone felt helpless and sad. The mighty man in the city was too powerful, so powerful that he was suffocating and desperate...

"It's decided that my tribe... my tribe has since become the next part of the Tiger Boy King."

Dozens of old and young in the room, after a while, they stood up silently and bowed to the old man in front of the fire and stroked his chest.

"We are willing to obey the arrangements of the adults."

...

There were many remnants of the Xiongnu tribes that fled from Shangjun to Beidi County, but they were all just broken Huns. Instead, the Kucha people near Beidi County suffered less losses, and they also became the masters of the Xiongnu tribes of Shangjun.

When a group of people discussed the specific matters of the departments' transfer of young and strong people in the room, they did not know how angry and impulsive the young man who was driven out by the old man Bala was.

The day shift walked out of the wooden house and stood in the snow and ice. However, the anger in his chest did not subside at all, but instead became more and more intense...

"Babe...you are old!"

Looking back, he looked at the dilapidated wooden house again. The squad suddenly shook his arms and turned over the horse, and whipped the war horses towards the tribe...

"What's wrong with you on the day shift?"

The day squad rushed straight into the camp, and the rushing horse almost hit Pugu Shande.

Pugu Shande grabbed the irritable war horse with his big hand, but Bai Ban grabbed Pugu Shande's collar, and the anger in his eyes made people dare not look directly at it.

"Listen, that damn Dong Hu wants to take all the young and strong people in our clan to Taiyuan County, and want to use the hands of Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan brothers to kill all our clan members..."

"What?"

Pugu Shande was shocked, and his big hand grabbed his collar tighter.

"That damn Dong Hu not only killed our tribe members and snatched our cattle and sheep, but now he doesn't give us any way to live. Now he is in the city. As long as he kills him, Yanmen, Yunzhong, Wuyuan, Shuofang, we will have the opportunity to kill the Hui tribe again and regain our cattle and sheep!"

Pugu Shande couldn't help but frowned and hesitated: "It's only been three years since Dong Hu entered Bingzhou. As long as he died, the generals under his command would inevitably fight each other. But... he had three thousand cavalry around him and five thousand infantrymen in the Nandaying. How can we kill him?"

The day troupe put his cheeks to the ears of Pugu Shande...

"Do you remember how He Lian died?

"Arrow slave?"

The servant Gu Shande was shocked and puzzled again.

"Didn't it mean that the Arrow Slave had died long ago?"

Bai Ban smiled and said, "He Lian was shot and killed by the Arc slave in Beidi County. The Yin family was afraid of revenge by the Xianbei people, so they tied up the Arc slave... But the Arc slave did not die, but killed more than a dozen Yin slaves."

Pugu Shande originally didn't know about the Yin family's Arrow Slave, but it was a big deal to die in Beidi County. Arrow Slave's magical shooting was also evident. However, later he heard that the Arrow Slave was dead and the Arrow Slave's affairs were buried under the wind and sand. However, he didn't expect that the day trip would find someone who had been "dead".

"Others cannot escape the arrow slave's continuous shooting, as long as we..."

The squad lay in Pu Gu Shande's ear and whispered like this. Pu Gu Shande frowned sometimes, and the next moment he nodded silently...

"That damn Dong Hu didn't give all of us any way to survive. Only by killing him can we survive! Only by recapturing the tribe's land!"

The servant Gu Shande hesitated for a moment and focused his attention.

"You are right. As long as you kill him, we can retake the tribe land! Shande will go and find Brother Hawule!"

The day shift patted the man in front of him heavily and said gloomyly: "This matter needs to be as soon as possible. My father is too old and has lost his courage. If we cannot gather the tribe members as soon as possible and cannot kill Dong Hu in one fell swoop while he was not awakened, we will all die!"

"Don't worry! With Arrow Slave here, Brother Hawule will agree!"

"Um."

After the day shift nodded, he ignored what the servant Gu Shande did. He kicked his horse and ran to the cattle and sheep tent on the edge of the tribe. In a quarter of an hour, he saw a man sleeping in the sheep pen and grass pile with his hair and his eyes were dull and sloppy. The man in thin clothes curled up in the weeds, and was holding a big sheep in his arms. Until the day shift was full of disdain and stopped at the front three steps, the man holding the big sheep kept warm and raised his messy head as if he had not woken up...

"Arrow slave, it's time to work!"

After looking at him, the man turned over again and hugged the big sheep who wanted to escape.
