Ma Chao's speed was very fast. Although he didn't dare to fly around behind him, he didn't dare to fly in that area of Central Asia. After passing through Central Asia, Ma Chao started to wave again.
"When I turn back, I must lead my troops to level the Central Asia." Ma Chao ran eastward with blazing eyes. He encountered three accidents in Central Asia. Twice he was mistaken for a bird by the bandits below because he was flying in the sky. Or something like a spy was shot down.
To be honest, as a regular soldier, Ma Chao could not understand at all why the legion below would attack without mercy when a world-breaking warrior like him flew over.
Of course, this is Ma Chao's stubbornness. Although Ma Chao is a boundary breaker, he was beaten down twice. Ma Chao was in a panic, especially the second time, when he killed more than a dozen people and rushed out. If he was surrounded, Be a thief or be dead.
It can be said that it's not that Li Feisha is a magical horse. As for the group of thieves in Central Asia who have gone crazy, even if Ma Chao is a top-level boundary breaker, he will probably be beaten to the ground.
After all, they had gone through a whole year of chaos, and of course Rome was at fault. After taking over the two river basins, Rome relied on the most fertile alluvial plains since ancient times to accumulate a large amount of food output, and then followed the flow of water. Sent to the Persian Gulf and sold to Kushan.
In short, the Romans have really been mentally ill in the past two years. They have been causing trouble in Central Asia. It is precisely because of this huge scale of food and grass that the bandits and noble families in Central Asia have been working for a whole year. Call it a joy. In the end, if it hadn't been for a year of hard work, Kushan was also a little tired. He went home to rest and planned to come back next year. I'm afraid Central Asia is still fighting.
However, after such a year of war, ordinary thieves and bandits, not to mention those born military leaders, now have some rules for fighting, so that an arrogant guy like Ma Chao was really surrounded by a group of organized bandits. Even if you can kill him, you won't get any benefits.
Things got much better after passing Congling. Sima Lang managed the Western Region very well. This guy is super capable and has a stable mentality. He leads the Xinzhou people to plant trees every day.
Since the road has not yet been built, how about planting trees on both sides of the road that is to be built, and planning and exploring the road at the same time? The whole day is spent on water conservancy construction, and the northern Xinzhou is doing well? On the contrary, the southern Xinzhou, How should I put it? Sima Lang said that I am short-handed and I will deal with it first.
Of course, the most important thing is that it is close to the snowy area. In order to save trouble, Chen Xi brought a group of Qiang people who can survive on the plateau. This is actually to rule that area from the ground up. After all, the combat effectiveness of the Qiang people is the best in the world. Second gear.
Of course, those who fight against the Han Dynasty will give away as much as they can. Ever since they were cut by Duan Ji and hammered by the Xiliang cavalry, the Qiang people as a whole have become useless? But even such a useless Qiang people? They are still at the level of second-tier local overlords in the world. ? So after Chen Xi pulled it twice, he sent a group of Qiang people who could live on the plateau to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
It was agreed at that time that there would be no tax on going there? You remember to pay tribute to cattle and sheep every year. It will cost no more than 20,000 cattle and 200,000 sheep, and then send people to pay tribute on time.
This condition is actually quite excessive, but because the Han Dynasty is very strong, and Chen Xi said very reasonably, if you don’t have it now, you can make a free payment and pay it back slowly in the future, at an annual rate of one tenth, and if you are willing to go, we will give you support, so that On your side, Wu Tong.
Among the Western Qiang, the Fa Qiang and Qing Qiang were originally living in the Qinghai-Tibet Yanbian area. In addition, the Han Dynasty's fists were really too big and they were giving genuine goods. The total number of several large Qiang tribes means that, Okay, let's go up.
Chen Xi had people registered one by one. According to the merits of expanding the land, all these people were included as subjects of the Han family. After all, nearly one million square kilometers of land had to be guarded by these people, so the benefits would naturally be given to them.
So every year Chen Xi gives out whatever he gives to the people in the Central Plains, and he gives out something to the other side, but because it is too high, the personnel who distribute the annual gifts cannot go up at all, so they all ask Faqiang and others to come down and accept it themselves. In recent years, they have made real money. After smashing it down, the Faqiang and Qingqiang no longer had any ambitions, so they regarded themselves as Han people. They took calves and lambs from Chen Xi and raised them evenly, so they paid taxes.
This is considered a submissive people, and Qinghai-Tibet is really not far from Chang'an. Coming down from there is Hanzhong. Now we take the county road from Chang'an to Hanzhong, and it won't take long to come down, so Faqiang will send some leaders every year. Come and pay tribute.
After all, these tribes were all settled on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau back then, and they really didn't have much ambition. Now the Han Dynasty doesn't want to attack them, and they are given a way to survive, so they will follow suit. But as time goes by, Just like those people in Jiaozhou back then.
Do you think those clans in Jiaozhou really have the ambition to overthrow the Han Dynasty? In fact, no, Liu Bei said he was going to kill someone, so the clan elders just patted their chests and ensured that the young people at home would not do any work to help Liu Bei beat people up. The same was true for Qingqiang and Faqiang, and they had nothing to do with Han. Although they have ambitions to make a living, they also want to live a good life.
So Qingqiang and Faqiang ran down from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and asked Sima Lang to build a road for them.
——Build a road for us. It is very difficult for us to go down to the plateau every time. Build a road. Dear Governor of Xinzhou, please build a road for us.
For the sake of Qingqiang and Faqiang's special submission, Sima Lang went there, and then he went back. Whoever has the ability can do it. I don't have this technology.
Later, Qingqiang and Faqiang learned how to merge villages into villages, and organized themselves into a tribe of 2,000 people. They banded together and continued to ask Sima Lang next door to build roads for them, and not only built roads on the plateau. They also need to build roads between their villages.
Because according to Chen Xi's regulations, villages with more than 2,000 people need complete supporting facilities. Qingqiang and Faqiang built more than 40 villages with 2,000 people themselves, and then sent a notice to Xinzhou Governor Sima Lang saying that, Our villages have been merged into villages, roads have been built, veterinarians have been distributed, and the state-owned supply and marketing cooperative has been set up for us.
Sima Lang disappeared from the world. This was not a matter of laziness or laziness in politics. It was because Sima Lang couldn't get up at all. And even if he could get up, where would he find a group of professionals who could build roads on the plateau and do such things for this group of people? People, isn't this nonsense?
So Sima Lang gave up the southern part of Xinzhou first. The Qiang people couldn't even find a place to complain recently. They didn't know what to do other than scolding Sima as a thieves.
"There are such lazy bureaucrats!" Ma Chao said unconvinced. On the road, he met a dozen Qiang leaders who looked a little black due to ultraviolet rays. He was very unhappy when he heard about this. Sima Lang is not a A wise minister? What are these things?
Ma Chao has the power to control the Qiang people. To be precise, the Qiang people belong to the name of Ma Chao, the great general. As a divine general, he can still be regarded as a human being.
Although Ma Chao was stabbed in the back several times and was too lazy to talk to the Qiang people, Erha's advantage was that he forgot quickly, especially since this group of Qiang people looked skinny and pitiful because of the sunburn. Ma Chao felt that he really had to help.
The Qiang people knelt down on the spot. By the way, the Qiang tribe leader knew Ma Chao, so he stopped Ma Chao and asked Ma Chao for help.
The tribe leader of Faqiang really felt that Sima Lang did it on purpose. That's right, the tribe leader of Faqiang didn't think it was because of the Han Dynasty's targeting. He only thought it was Sima Lang's problem, because all the orders given directly by Chang'an arrived, and implement.
For example, we distributed meat, snacks, and high-quality seeds grown on the plateau. Everything that was directly distributed by Chang'an was received in large quantities. Maybe because those escorting people could not get up, they needed to come and get it, but no matter what, Even if it's late, it's still a lot.
Even if you buy salt, it's only one hundred and fifty coins per stone. Except that people still can't get up, everything else is good. Therefore, the Qiang people who went to the plateau didn't think that the Han Dynasty was trapping them. They felt that Sima Lang was a traitor. .
No matter how good the spiritual talent is, there is no way in or out, no supply and marketing cooperative where you can buy common supplies at any time, no veterinarian, etc...
In short, Sima Lang is a big traitor to this group of people.
However, for Sima Lang, he was very unjust. He could not repair this broken road, and he could not climb up to anyone who could repair it.
Ma Chao didn't understand this. He just thought that you, Sima Lang, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, are still the same as the rest of the Sima family. You are full of bad ideas. It is so difficult for you to build a road. In fact, it is more difficult than Sima Lang. It's even more difficult to think about.
So Ma Chao took over everything, saying that he would help settle the matter when he arrived in Chang'an. If he didn't say anything, he would first sue Sima Lang. The whole world has been ruined by you people.
Of course, the people of Faqiang and Qingqiang are very grateful. After all, they are not qualified to attend the court meeting. Even if they go to Dahonglu to complain, Dahonglu will handle it very poorly, but it will be different if it is Ma Chao. Yes, Ma Chao can bring this matter to the court for discussion.
"Put it on me." Ma Chao said, patting his chest, saying that he could just leave the matter to him, then he got on Li Feisha and ran away.
"Clan leader, is General Tian reliable?" A young man with a dark face asked.
"It doesn't matter whether he is reliable or not, just help me when you meet him." Faqiang's tribe leader replied very willfully. He didn't know whether Ma Chao was reliable or not. According to experience, he was unreliable, but it didn't matter. This itself is an operation of hitting three poles if there are dates but no dates.
After passing Sanfu, Ma Chao immediately released his momentum. The scorching golden light exploded like the scorching sun and rushed straight to Chang'an. He was as excited as Erha who had a broken leash. He rushed straight to Zhuque Gate, preparing to rush all the way to their house. Go find your wife.
"I..." The moment he entered Chang'an, Ma Chao was ready to cheer loudly, but before he could shout out the next words, a Fangtian painted halberd appeared above the Suzaku Gate.
