However, the Qiang people gave up after chasing for seven or eight days. As they said, the territory of Qinghai-Tibet was too outrageous. They chased the Qiang people to an unknown place. Lindai thought that his own family seemed not much better than the other party. , it was just a moment of bloody courage, and now that the geographical advantage is gone, we need to retreat first.
This is the benefit of caution. If the fight continues, Assam's Sai Wang fighters will come. Compared to Masinde, who is sanctioned by the terrain, Assam's Sai Wang fighters can basically perform in the Qinghai-Tibet region. With complete combat effectiveness, the Qiang people will definitely suffer heavy losses if they ambush on the mountain.
"Retreat." Lindai greeted the other leaders, "The terrain here is unfamiliar. Let's retreat first, and chasing us will consume too much food and grass."
The leaders of the Qiang and Di people summed it up twice. In the past, they used to steal other people's food to eat, but now they eat their own supplies. This consumption is really distressing.
What's more, he killed nearly a thousand people on the opposite side, which proved that he was capable of standing firm on the Qinghai-Tibet-Yanbian border and guarding the border for the Han Dynasty. What's more important is that he has now agreed to the unknown tribe or Zhangxiong on the opposite side. The men and horses were useless, and the other party didn't bring much food.
They won't get anything, and the souvenir business has not been settled. After a stalemate for a while, the Qiang people gave up and planned to establish a county system, then join Yizhou, and then prepare to let Yang Pu open up the souvenir business. Plan, and don’t want to fight with Guishang.
Of course, the most important thing is that it's almost August now, and the highland barley they planted is almost ready to be harvested. Qingqiang and Faqiang don't think it's worth it to continue hammering these guys who came out of nowhere. He is also a poor man.
The Qiang people liked the weapons and equipment they had stolen from their opponents in the past, but when the Han Dynasty sent them to Qinghai-Tibet, they all received complete reissues of weapons and equipment. As for the weapons and equipment carried by Fulode, the Qiang people There is not much interest.
After struggling for a while, the Qiang people finally gave up the pursuit and returned to the Qinghai-Tibet Yanbian area when the enemy turned into the southwest of the Qiangtang Plateau.
When Lin Dai came back, the bureaucrats sent by Chang'an had just arrived in the Qinghai-Tibet area. The leader was Zhang Ji. There was nothing we could do about it. This kid was really unlucky. There must be something wrong with Li You's hiring methods. He was caught dead. The nature used.
Of course, the most important thing is that there are not many bureaucrats who can go to Qinghai and Tibet these days. Among them, there are even fewer who can operate and command the local people and have good abilities. Zhang Ji can be said to be the best among them.
Therefore, Li You brought Zhang Ji up, and by the way, Chen Zhen, who was a subordinate officer, was also brought over, and gave them greater power, the power of military crusade, so they both came over. Of course, Chen Zhen was on the way. He lay down after the shock. Although Zhang Ji was a little dizzy, he was fine.
After all, Zhang Ji's hometown is in the Guanzhong area in later generations, and he is considered a second-tier person. In addition, this guy's physical fitness is quite good. Although he is a little tired, he can get through it.
When Zhang Ji came, a group of people from Lindai happened to be returning with their troops. No matter what you say, the Qiang people were still in a good mood after winning the battle. Although the losses were quite heavy, when they heard that Han officials were coming, Lindai's mood suddenly changed. Okay, is there any downside to this?
Immediately, Lin Dai began to pour out his bitterness to Zhang Ji, starting with the bitterness that Sima Lang, the second-fifth son, was a bastard. As for Zhang Ji, who had been in the Government Affairs Office before, how could he not know the real situation, but the other party was just pulling him like this? When he entered the village, he had no choice but to listen and could only laugh and say nothing.
After he finished complaining about Sima Lang, Lindai began to express what big things the Qiang people had done recently, and then quickly asked Pu Yang to carry over the bag of ears that had not been sent away.
Zhang Ji was immediately confused. I came here to take charge and asked the officials under Da Honglu to go to the Shangshung Dynasty as envoys to see if they had any ideas to work with them to annihilate the Kushan Dynasty in Qinghai-Tibet. , as a result, you messed up the Xiangshung man’s ears so much.
However, it was the custom of the Han Dynasty not to scold the generals who won the battle. Besides, the Qiang people did not know their plans, so it was useless to say this.
"May I ask the captain where you got these ears? I can report them to Chang'an and give them as a reward." Zhang Ji said with a gentle expression.
Then Lindai began to complain, from how hard it was for them to raise cattle, sheep and geese, to the fact that they were robbed of cattle, sheep and geese by Shule and Yutian's idiots, and then they sent people to chase Shule and hacked each other to death, and then they came up again. A group of Shule people robbed their cattle, sheep and geese, and then they sent out a large army, which could be regarded as cutting them to pieces on the Qiangtang Plateau.
Of course, it is inevitable to add fuel to the fire, which proves that the Qiang people guard the border very hard, there was no turmoil, and they did a good job. They were just careless and were attacked by others. When the Qiang people reacted, they quickly killed their opponents.
Zhang Ji didn't think deeply. He wasn't here to investigate whether the Qiang people guarded the border well. To be precise, except for Zhang Ji, locals like Li You, and wise men like Liu Ye, with Chen Xi's kind of thinking, He positioned the Qiang people as the poor people in the old, young, border and poor areas who needed poverty alleviation. If they were beaten, they would run away quickly and why should they fight back?
"Let me ask, how do you know they are Shule people?" Zhang Ji was silent for a while. He remembered that his second mission from home was to encircle and suppress Fulward, and this description made Zhang even want to twist it. Maybe.
"Well, they must be the Shule people. We don't know either. We only beat them because when we were fighting the Shule people, they robbed our cattle, sheep and geese, and then we turned around and started chasing them." Lin Dai After a moment of silence, he realized what he was doing. To be honest, although he had finished the fight before, Lindai really didn't know if it was from Shule.
"Can you show me the capture of the captain?" Zhang Ji felt bad, and then he suggested to Lindai, and then Lindai took Zhang Ji to the storage place of the captured materials.
Originally, people were not allowed to enter this kind of place, but Zhang was a bureaucrat sent by Chang'an and had a talisman. The Qiang people had enjoyed the benefits for so many years. They could not trust Sima Lang, but they trusted Chang'an. In fact, they could not even trust Hanzhong County. Shou can be trusted, but they can't trust Sima Lang.
The interpreter brought by Zhang Ji soon discovered the difference. These lines were not those of the Shule people at all, but the lines of the Da Yueshi people. Well, it was basically confirmed that the Qiang people were hammering not the Shule people, but the Da Yueshi people. , which means that the Qiang people have started fighting with Fuwode.
"Um, when the captain was fighting with the opponent, didn't you think there was something wrong with the opponent?" Zhang Ji asked carefully.
After hearing this, the neighbor recalled the situation at that time. There was a problem with the hammer. At that time, they were all over the top. They concentrated their troops recklessly. They risked their lives and stormed the opponent's camp. Oh, we died more than the opponent, but this is a problem. ? It’s a problem, I need compensation!
"By the way, in order to regain the Qiangtang Plateau, we lost many brothers in the battle, and we lost a lot of supplies. Chang Shi, we Qiang people are miserable." Lin Dai recalled the losses and quickly began to wipe his tears. , even without Zhang coming, he had forgotten that more than 2,000 of them had died.
For a people like the Qiang people who are used to death, more than two thousand people is a lot. However, taking back the materials will allow more people to continue, which is completely acceptable to them, so they have not encountered Before Zhang Ji, Lin Dai had already forgotten this matter.
"I came here this time with 700,000 catties of sugar and 600,000 bolts of cloth." Zhang Ji nodded and said, these things were originally used as poverty alleviation materials, but now they can be used as pensions. As a Yongliang How can a person like Zhang not know the Qiang people’s attitude towards human life?
"Thank you, Chang Shi. Thank you, Chang Shi." Lin Dai was overjoyed. Look at how powerful the Han Dynasty is. The losses were recovered in an instant. Only by working with the Han Dynasty can you have a future!
"And this, this is an official ticket worth 30 million yuan, which can be exchanged for various supplies in Hanzhong County. The captain has also worked hard in recent years." Zhang Ji took out the official ticket from his sleeve. Handed to Lindai, this was originally the cost of moving and settling in from Chen Xi.
But now Zhang Ji was thinking about the fight between Lin Daidu and Fulward. Although he didn't know the real situation, the seizure was real. Hundreds of armors were seized. In other words, the Qiang people killed so many people. There are so many people. In this case, there is no need to move.
When I heard this, my hands were shaking. The discounts for buying things with official official tickets were extremely outrageous. An official ticket worth 30 million yuan was equivalent to 15 million geese, which was equivalent to 100 million yuan in the past.
What is the equivalent of 100 million yuan? Think about it, when the Eastern Han Dynasty hired Wuhuan Xianbei to fight, they only had to pay about 200 million yuan a year. The Eastern Han Dynasty court was in a bad mood and began to default on the wages of these people, so 100 million yuan is equivalent to 100 million yuan. Half the salary of an entire tribe.
This is a tribe, not a tribe. The entire Qiang tribe is composed of hundreds of Qiang. These people add up to a tribe, and they are worthy of being hired by the Han Dynasty as thugs. But even so, they will only pay 100 million yuan, but now they It's just that the Xiqiang and Faqiang tribes were given rewards worth hundreds of millions of dollars by the Han Dynasty. Lin Dai felt his conscience and found that he still had a future with the Han Dynasty!
"Do you still remember the tribe that came to plunder you last time?" Zhang Ji looked at Lindai with a smile.
Lin Dai nodded repeatedly and quickly put away the money tickets. They would do whatever the Han Dynasty said next. There was no other meaning. Thirty million official tickets were enough to solve all the problems. They just did it.
"Kill them." Zhang Ji said seriously, "I can do it."
"Yes, yes, yes." Lindai touched the money ticket. With this money, he can raise a large number of cattle, sheep and horses. Is it a problem to fight against a tribe that he has been able to win before? Absolutely not, I don’t need you to greet me. Even if the Han Dynasty doesn’t speak, you give me so much. If I don’t kill the tribes in Qingxue District and let this place shout long live the Han Dynasty, I feel that I can’t bear it in my conscience.
