Chapter 143 Cao Chong's predicament!

"Duan's kindness is a good start. Is there any news about Liangzhou?"

Hearing Cao Chong's words, Guo Xiao hurriedly said, "There is another phenomenon that the Qiang people gathered on the border of Liangzhou recently. I think it was because it was about spring and when the Qiang people had almost eaten food, they would invade Liangzhou to obtain food."

The Qiang people and the Huns were all ethnic groups that lived by water and grass. If the world was good, they would not have come to invade Liangzhou, because basically the war between the Qiang people invaded Liangzhou was failed.

Even fools will not do the act of dying.

However, if there are so many failures, the Qiang people will not survive if they do not invade Liangzhou.

Although invasion of Liangzhou would lose a lot of population, on the other hand, those lost populations undoubtedly reduced the burden on the Qiang people's food.

Moreover, during the invasion, the Qiang people would obtain a lot of food.

This barbaric and bloody way of survival allowed the Qiang people to survive the failure of almost all the battles with the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years.

Speaking of which, although Liangzhou was frequent in this era, Liangzhou was still a relatively wealthy place among the thirteen states in the world.

This sounds a bit incredible.

You should know that in later generations, Liangzhou, places like Gansu, Xinjiang, Kazakhstan, and Tajikistan.

Our first impression of Jiuquan and Dunhuang is that besides culture, it is only desolate.

The boundless desert is full of sandstorms that are raging all the time.

However, during the Han Dynasty, Liangzhou had abundant water resources and grasslands everywhere, even better than the grasslands in Gansu and Inner Mongolia in later generations.

Liangzhou moves mountains to the east of the Hu River tributary to connect with Shuofang County, to Yumen Pass and Yangguan on the eastern edge of the Tarim Basin, to the Qilian Mountains and Qaidam Basin in the south, to the Tengger Desert, Bataji Desert, Juyanze and the Xiongnu, and to the Xianbei confront each other.

Judging from the terrain, Liangzhou is in a situation where it is high in the south and low in the north. Therefore, the rivers in the territory also flow south to north and inject into lakes.

Di water flows into a moor through Dunhuang. Jiduan water flows north into Mingze. Qianggu water flows north into Juyanze. Hucan water flows north into Juyanze. Gu water flows north into Xiutuze and others.

In terms of climate patterns, due to the deep inland Liangzhou, the rain brought by the summer monsoon is often not enough for farming here, and it is necessary to rely on the high mountain snow water of the Qilian Mountains and the natural rainfall here.

Therefore, they are mostly engaged in animal husbandry and oasis agriculture.

Due to the dry climate, deserts are everywhere, and natural disasters and poor harvests are often found.

In addition to insufficient rainfall to develop stable agricultural harvests, Liangzhou is also a high-seismic source area located at the junction of the plate.

Therefore, Liangzhou has to develop animal husbandry and oasis agriculture with not very high demand for rainwater in an available environment.

At first glance, Liangzhou is still a barren land, but it is not.

After a hundred years of construction and operation from Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty to Wangmang, the counties in Liangzhou have become rich in people and wealth.

Not only did Dou Rong think that he was enough to defend himself to observe the world, but Emperor Guangwu of Han also believed that this place should be rich and surrendered, and it was not appropriate to fight with him.

In (geography) it said:

The black water, the West River is only Yongzhou, the earthy soil, the fields are above and the fields are below and the middle and lower.

The land of Liangzhou was originally belonged to Yongzhou, and the soil in Yongzhou was loess and the fields were superior, which shows that the soil in some parts of Liangzhou was very fertile and suitable for cultivation.

As long as you can farm in accordance with the weather and rely on the cooperation of rainfall, the resources in Liangzhou can provide a good life for local people.

Therefore, such a place where the warehouse is rich and the people are rich will naturally become a place where the frontier nations want to conquer and attack.

Cao Chong was constantly thinking in his heart that the ice and snow in Liangzhou were much thicker than those in Yecheng.

The ice and snow in Yecheng melted at this time, but it might still be snowing in Liangzhou at this time!

But Cao Chong estimated it a little in his mind, feeling that the ice and snow in Liangzhou would begin to melt in less than a month.

The ice and snow in Liangzhou melted, which was the time for the Qiang people to invade.

This winter, the snow fell very thickly, and even Yecheng was frozen to death, let alone the grasslands in the north.

The abnormal heavy snow will freeze a large number of livestock to death, which also explains a little.

The Qiang people's offensive this year is not comparable to those in previous years.

In order to survive, this race who drinks blood and eats blood will use the sword in his hand to overcome obstacles and strive for a chance to survive for its descendants.

This news is definitely not a good news for Cao Chong.

If you encounter a Qiang people who are in chaos before you can stand firm in Liangzhou, the consequences will be unimaginable.

This is also the reason why Cao Chong was in a hurry to go to Liangzhou.

but...

Boss Cao disagreed with this matter, and Cao Chong really had no way to do it.

I had to rely on Zhou Buyi to help me pave the way.

But Zhou Buyi was just a scholar. Liangzhou was warlike and had no strength to deterrent, so it was difficult to talk to them equally.

In other words, if Zhou Buyi went to Liangzhou, even if he could pave the road for Cao Chong, the road was limited.

What’s hateful is that Jia Xu is really a slut. Although he was helping Cao Chong secretly, the Jia family has nothing to do with Cao Chong on the outside.

If there was a help from the Jia family in Liangzhou, Zhou Buyi would not have been so embarrassed.

As for the reason, it is very simple. The Duan family is a family in Liangzhou, and the Jia family is the same. Because of Jia Xu, the Jia family is even better than the Duan family in some aspects.

This old man!

Cao Chong was so angry that his teeth were itchy, but there was no way.

I had to wait until I went over and deal with Jia Xu.

But Cao Chong knew that as soon as he arrived in Liangzhou, Jia Xu would come over in an instant.

Then I will not find the opportunity to punish the Jia family.

As for why Jia Xu didn't help Cao Chong now, he deliberately made Cao Chong ugly at this time.

The reason is also very simple.

Now that we can help Cao Chong, we will not get any benefits, but we will be isolated by the Liangzhou family. For the Jia family, this is not worth the loss.

Besides, they were afraid that they would be sold by Cao Chong.

Now, it is the best way to wait and see.

Therefore, even if Cao Chong was so angry that he was itchy, he could do nothing.

Thinking of this, Cao Chong had to wave to Guo Xiao and signaled him to retreat. His eyes were flashing, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Guo Xiao quietly looked up at Cao Chong, bowed to Cao Chong, and then slowly retreated.

For a moment, Cao Chong was left on the platform.

The cold wind was blowing, and Cao Chong stood there, his eyes were very clear.

Could it be that I have to go to Boss Cao for this matter?

Cao Chong shook his head decisively, feeling that it would be useless to go to Boss Cao for this matter.

But it is not a solution to keep consuming it.

You know, the Qiang people will be called soon.

It's just that it makes people lose their heads.
