Huang Yueying walked out of the camp, looked at the fighting in the distance, and sighed inwardly. This time, I don't know how many soldiers were injured or sacrificed.
She actually wanted to make peace with the barbarians.
However, peace talks without force are called peace talks, not negotiations.
Moreover, the barbarians worship the strong. They need to outright defeat the other party in terms of force, so that the other party will truly recognize the mutual trade.
If she wants to establish herself in Jingzhou and seek the world, she cannot be unstable internally.
Now that we have come to Wuling, we have to conquer the barbarians at once, otherwise it will be too laborious.
As for the big boss next to her, he left a legend of seven captures and seven attempts in later generations. Although many historians believe that this does not exist, the local barbarians admired the big boss very much, so he also became
A mystery.
Wuling County is a bit hot in late May.
In the sky, the clouds are very thick and gray, and there are also many mosquitoes and the like.
Fortunately, Kuai Yue's supplies were well prepared, otherwise, she might have suffered from mosquitoes.
Not long after, Zhuge Liang walked out of the tent, glanced at the sky, and said, "Let's go to the tent first."
"It's a bit stuffy." Huang Yueying shook her head.
"I'm afraid it's going to rain." Zhuge Liang said again.
After hearing this, Huang Yueying entered the camp, but within a moment, it really started to rain.
…
As the commander of the battle, Zhang Qian had no way of leading his men to charge.
However, Huang Wu is different.
This time, only a thousand barbarians rushed out of the county, so he took advantage of his armor and led a rampage of 600 guards.
Huang Wu's 600 men alone made it difficult for the barbarians to resist, let alone the thousands of Jingzhou soldiers who joined them.
Within a quarter of an hour, some of the barbarians surrendered, dropped their weapons, and stood where they were.
When the raindrops fell, several people did the same thing.
And then, more.
…
"This time we have killed more than 100 barbarians and captured more than 300. We have killed 77 people and injured 421 people." In the camp, Zhang Gan took the numbers just calculated by his deputy and reported them to Kuai Yue and
Huang Yueying.
Huang Yueying was a little surprised, "Captured so many?"
Zhang Gan smiled bitterly, "Yes, not long after the fight, some barbarians dropped their weapons and stood there, shaking their hands. They probably didn't want to fight."
"Then...there will be more and more barbarians like this." Huang Wu added at the side.
"Where are these people?"
"Now that he is being imprisoned, he has been ordered to be guarded, and the people who are proficient in the barbarian language have been ordered to inquire..." Zhang Qian hesitated to speak.
"What?"
"The barbarians asked if they could be fed first." Huang Wu thought for a while and replied.
Huang Yueying and Zhuge Liang:...
"This..." Kuai Yue was also speechless, "They don't have enough military rations?"
"Yes, they won't last much longer. Most of the materials that were looted before were transported back to the mountains..." Zhang Gan nodded, "They thought they could get a lot of food by capturing the county town... but they found that there were insects and rats in the county town granary.
Mostly."
Huang Yueying and others:...
"There is no food in the county granary?" Huang Yueying took a breath.
Now she really understands what it means to be as high as the sky and the emperor is far away!
These counties are remote, so scholars like Xiangyang would not be willing to work here, so what should we do?
Of course, some people are selected from among the local people to manage it.
What will happen to these local people who hold county magistrate, county seat or other positions in the county government?
Of course it is for the benefit of one's own family.
The ones who suffer... are only the people at the bottom in the end.
Now, when the barbarians come, these people are lucky. They run very fast one by one. Even the common people are not left in the county. It is clear that Jingzhou will take care of this matter.
"There are so many bugs and rats..." Zhuge Liang laughed and shook his head, "There are so many bugs and rats, they are all big rats!"
Kuai Yue was silent.
Several of them are members of their own families, how could they not understand the operations of local aristocratic families?
Because I can understand it, I am even more surprised.
Generally speaking, local aristocratic families have to do this, at least there is a bottom line... But Wuling County has high mountains and long roads. When going to Xiangyang every year to pay taxes, most of them rely on a few counties in the north, and those in the south... It is said that the land is barren and the production is poor. Not enough...
However, no matter how poor the land is, it is simply unjustifiable that there is no food in the county government granary.
"That's what the barbarians said." Zhang Gan nodded, "So, they haven't been able to eat enough recently..."
Huang Yueying even had a headache, "Have you given them food?"
"have eaten."
"Treat their wounds and send them back."
"promise."
"But, what if more barbarians do this next time?" Huang Wu asked.
"Give them food and tell them that if they are willing to settle down in the mountains and become people under the rule of Jingzhou, we will allocate fields to them for farming.
For those who do not want to go down to the mountains and settle down, when the war is over, the Jingzhou Pastoral Association will set up markets in these counties to exchange supplies with them.
They can exchange it for minerals, trees, herbs or their cloth from the mountains.
It can be exchanged for salt, grain and Han people's cloth."
Huang Yueying explained.
Huang Wu nodded to express his understanding. After a while, he would convey these words to the barbarians today.
"Has Achu informed the barbarians of this news?" Kuai Yue asked in surprise.
"I wanted to press it again..." Huang Yueying sighed. "But today I know that there is no food in the granaries of these counties, and I know that the local people are living in a very bad life, so I don't want to drag it out with the barbarians any longer. .
When these barbarians go back and tell others the news, they can divide these tribes.
Wait until they start fighting among themselves..."
"Excellent!" Kuai Yue's eyes lit up.
"Just be afraid...it's not that easy to differentiate." Zhuge Liang said with a smile.
…
It's night.
Chenyang County.
Xiang Hongsheng was furious when he saw Sha Wenye, who was injured but looked content. "Sha Wenye, do you know what you are doing?"
"I went to fight the Han people!" Sha Wenye said in surprise, "Why is Xiang Jingfu so angry?"
"Going to fight? More than 300 people were captured, and more than 300 people had their wounds bandaged and came back with a full meal. You think this is going to fight?" Xiang Hongsheng scolded.
"Isn't it? In this battle, the other side also suffered nearly 500 casualties, and we also suffered nearly 500 casualties. If it's not a march, what is it?" Sha Wenye was also angry, "Xiang Hongsheng, look at what you are like now. "
"You treat a Han with unknown origins as a distinguished guest, but what is the reality? According to what he said, we have captured the Han people's county. However, how much food is there in this county? Don't you know?"
"If this continues, all the food we grabbed before will be eaten. Do you know?"
"I'm going here. If I can win, I will have a good meal! Even if I lose, I have killed many enemies and still have a good meal! In that case, why don't I go?"
Xiang Hongsheng was silent.
Yes, after capturing several county towns, we found that... there was really no food in there, and it was not as much as the amount they had gone down to rob.
"If you listen to Mr. Zhu again, I'm afraid the entire Xiangxi tribe will be destroyed!" Sha Wenye continued, "I'm coming back this time to tell you..."
"The people in Jingzhou want us to come down and naturalize, saying that they will allocate fields to us for farming. If we don't want to be naturalized, they will also set up a grain and salt market here to exchange supplies with us! Anyway, let me tell you, I'm chauvinistic
Ye Yibu, I won’t have anything to do with you Hong Sheng.”
