"Ran Liang's soldiers and horses are the closest soldiers and horses to support Liangzhou. Without them, I'm afraid things will be even worse."
Liu Yu looked at the map of states and counties in the world behind him, and then continued.
"Liangzhou is the main road connecting the Western Regions and the Central Plains."
"But it is almost filled with the power of the aristocratic families, and there is no extra opportunity to accommodate ordinary people and military soldiers."
"It would be an unexpected surprise if the various tribesmen in Xiazhou can intimidate them."
Liangzhou is a very important part of Liu Yu's future plans.
As the first outpost for people from the Western Regions to enter the Central Plains, the situation in Liangzhou can often affect the people from the Western Regions mentally.
Today's Liangzhou, because it has absorbed a large number of refugees in the past, is considered a good place for production and life.
However, those arrogant aristocratic families soon used blood-sucking methods to carve up all of this.
"If we can get a clean Liangzhou, although it is a bit cruel, it is not too bad."
Liu Yu said conflictedly.
Xi Jian seemed to strongly disagree with this statement.
"Your Majesty, if Ran Liang is unable to restrain the ministries and there are occasional incidents, then it will be okay."
"But if the barbarians in Xiazhou know that Your Majesty has this intention, I'm afraid things will get into trouble."
"If things get out of control, wouldn't it be the same as Bald Hair Tui Jin's rebellion?"
Xi Jian still hoped to retain the scholars and people of Liangzhou as much as possible. No matter what their origins, he felt that he could find a way to influence them.
Liu thought about it and felt that it made sense.
The so-called seeking for the upper reaches the middle, seeking for the middle leads to the lower,,,,.
If I have no restrictions on the barbarians, would anyone really think of it?
"Okay, I will give Ran Liang another edict. Try to keep them as brave as possible, but also be careful not to let them turn into real beasts."
Liangzhou, Jincheng.
The strong wind roared and rolled up yellow sand all over the sky.
The yellow sand descended like ghost soldiers, tightly covering tens of thousands of people inside and outside the city.
Under the severe sandstorm that made it almost impossible to see even one's hands and fingers, the offensive and defensive battle between the two sides finally came to a halt.
Hoo ho ho!
The raging wind pushed the bald hair against the Chan Yu's tent rolls.
If it weren't for the eight huge stone piers holding down the formation outside, the big tent would have been swept away by the wind.
"Damn weather!"
The bald Tui Jin slammed his helmet and cursed fiercely.
"If we only have half a day, I'm afraid we can seize the city gate."
It turned out that in today's attack, Tufa Tuijin made a major breakthrough in the direction of personally supervising the formation.
Unprecedentedly ferocious rebels broke out. With the cooperation of arrows outside the city, they climbed to the top of the city and once killed the defenders and retreated.
"The Great Chanyu is angry. Since we can climb the city wall today, it means that the defenders are about to die."
A general gave some advice.
"Da Chanyu, I heard that the defenders in the city have sent people to block all the city gates. Even if they capture the city tower, they will still have to spend a lot of effort to clear the door openings."
It was obvious that emotional intelligence was a big issue for another general, so he subconsciously pushed back.
Bald Tuijin almost laughed angrily when he heard this.
Nowadays, various rebel forces have been attacking for a long time, but no results have been achieved.
Even the fresh rebels such as Faqiang and Lu Shuihu who had been recruited were thinking of retreating.
Fortunately, the winter snow has not arrived this year.
This not only brought convenience to the siege, but also made the rebels understand that a snowless winter heralds another difficult year next year.
Everyone has rebelled. If they can't take advantage of it, it's hard to say whether they can survive next year.
Therefore, Tui Jin, the bald man, wanted to give his troops a boost of energy, so he attacked with all his strength today, and he almost succeeded.
As for whether the door opening can be cleaned, that is secondary.
Letting the ministries not give up and continue to follow their own command to attack is the purpose of Bald Hair Tuijin.
"Hmph, what do you know!"
The bald Tui Jin glanced coldly at his beloved general with great disgust.
"As long as we can gain control of the city tower and clear the doorway, who dares to stop us? Who can stop us?"
"Are they the scared Liangzhou soldiers, or the Han people who went to the city wall for some money and food?"
After recent battles, the rebels have figured out the composition of the defenders.
The original fear of Liangzhou horses has long been fulfilled.
"There are no Liangzhou horses in the city now. There are just some rats. Can't we still deal with them?"
The bald-haired Tui Jin said this and glanced at the rebel leaders in the camp, especially the leaders of Fa Qiang and Lu Shuihu who had just joined.
Just listen to what he said.
"If we can attack the city wall today, it means we will succeed soon. Don't be impatient, all of you."
"now"
As soon as Zhang Tong finished speaking, a general said.
As soon as these words came out, everyone else stared at Zhang Tong with burning eyes.
Zhang Tongyi took a look and immediately understood what these people meant.
The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant!
He straightened his face and said solemnly.
"We have just established a foothold on the Japanese island, and we are able to achieve what we have now. It is already a gift from the emperor's grace."
"If His Majesty hadn't given us a chance, we might not even be able to stay in Lelang County anymore."
"How is it possible to come to Haidong Island to seal the territory and split the land?"
When everyone heard Zhang Tong's words, they all immediately lowered their heads in shame.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Tong did not continue to criticize the general who made the remarks.
"All you need to know is that the territorial power on this island was obtained in exchange for these gold mines and silver mountains."
"If we cannot pay tribute to His Majesty with gold and silver, how can we possibly gain a foothold here in the future with just our strength."
Although Zhang Tong's soldiers are now well prepared, the required supplies have to be replenished by sea.
If they reduce the tribute of gold and silver without authorization, there will definitely be a problem of cutting off supplies.
At that time, Zhang Tong and the others, who have lost their support, may slowly fall into the same backwardness as the Japanese.
Soon, Zhang Tong overcame the greedy thoughts among his generals.
He asked everyone to ensure the output of the existing gold and silver mines.
The Japanese must not be allowed to destroy it.
"All Japanese who enter the mines are bound by military law. They must ensure three meals a day and no one can deduct them."
"But no one is allowed to leave at will. Anyone who escapes without authorization will be dealt with in fear of the enemy!"
After this period of observation, Zhang Tong and others already knew.
It is actually very easy to pacify ordinary Japanese people.
