Three Kingdoms

Chapter 3070 Awkward people taking sides, unclear Yongliang Prefecture

Fei Qian walked back not very fast.

The reason why I can't walk fast is actually very simple. It's hard to come to the land of Hexi, why should I bring some local products?

The local specialty of Hexi is full of the smell of blood.

This time, the soldiers and horses Fei Qian mobilized to go to the Western Regions were basically elites, and in the Western Regions, they also absorbed the essence of some Hu and Qiang people. The elites of these Hu people and Qiang people are found in all ethnic groups, and some of them are the elites of the countries in the Western Regions that have been destroyed. These barbarians have been living on horseback since they were very young, and they even have deformed bow legs in their lower limbs. It is really unsightly to walk on the ground, but on horseback they seem to be able to grow together with the war horses, almost human Everyone has seen blood. A teenage boy has probably killed more people than a bandit in his thirties or forties in the Han region!

In order for these tribesmen, such as Hu, Qiang and Semu, to transform from mercenary mode to cavalry under Fei Qian, there must be a process. A process of mutual friction and cooperation.

After all, the first time always involves blood...

There are about 15,000 cavalry, basically two-horse configuration, plus thousands of mules, horses and pack horses, the cavalry camps constructed are endless, almost congesting the entire Hexi Passage!

After being stationed, the entire cavalry camp was like an active city. The army's blacksmith shop, grocery store, etc. were spread out between the camps.

Most of the cavalry are equipped with iron armor and weapons, and they always need to be repaired on a daily basis.

Unless these armors are too damaged during the battle, they can be replaced by the quartermaster. Otherwise, most of them are maintained by themselves and stay with the soldiers for a lifetime. When the soldiers retire, they can take them back as family heirlooms.

After all, metals are very valuable these days, especially refined steel.

Repairing soldiers' armor? The blacksmith shop in the army will be cheaper than the blacksmith shops in other places, but it also costs money. Therefore, most soldiers will maintain their soldiers' armor by themselves. Only for some problems that they cannot handle themselves, Only then would he take it to the military blacksmith shop for repair.

The tinkling sound of iron seems to have become a regular soundtrack to the transactions in the surrounding grocery stores.

Fei Qian's military pay was sufficient and he did not default on it, so in addition to general repairs, there were always some people who liked special weapons and would go to the blacksmith shop to customize them. There are also some soldiers, especially the Hu and Qiang people, who spend most of their money on spirits and frosting. These two items are almost the most popular commodities in the army, and in some cases they are even as good as coins. universal.

In fact, everyone has battlefield syndrome to a greater or lesser extent, and wine that anesthetizes the nerves and sugar that soothes the nerves are naturally Feiqian’s most profitable products. On the one hand, they are beneficial to economic operations, and on the other hand, they are also beneficial to stabilizing the soldiers. Emotions, so in the process of Feiqian's march, these shops for logistical support have almost become a necessity.

The current living standards of the Han people are almost higher than those of the surrounding Hu and Qiang people, especially some of the eating methods and improved cooking methods that Fei "researched" after his stay in Guanzhong. It lured a large number of soldiers, both Han and Hu people were drooling...

Thanks to Defei Qian's money-making skills, he was also willing to spend money.

This is not the first time we have seen such a large cavalry in the land of Hexi. After all, Dong Zhuo also claimed to have 100,000 soldiers and horses, and when the Korean horses rebelled, tens of thousands of horses were gathered at one time, not to mention Beigong Liaison When the Qiang people rebelled, more than a dozen Qiang tribes gathered together, and the momentum was even greater.

However, those mighty military horses have now disappeared into the clouds and smoke, just like the clouds in the sky. Although they may temporarily cover the world, the world here will not change...

When Pang Xun and his party came to see Fei Qian, although they didn't seem to have any special emotions on the surface, they could not help but stir up waves in their hearts...

Pang Xuan lowered his head, looking like a humble gesture.

Who would have thought that this Fei Qian went to the Western Regions to conquer, and not only put down the chaos in the Western Regions in a blink of an eye, but also seemed to have not damaged many soldiers and horses in the Western Regions, and even gained a lot more troops!

Why is this so fat? !

Although it is obvious that the more soldiers and horses in the army are Hu and Qiang people, these guys seem to be in a different state from before.

Pang Qiao couldn't tell exactly what was different.

Pang Chuan, not Pang Juan. He has nothing to do with Pang Tong. He is from Jiuquan, where his surname is prominent. Because the Han Dynasty required that the post of governor should not be made by local people, he only served as the chief administrator of Jiuquan.

The governor of Jiuquan is Xu Yi, a native of Jizhou.

Xu Yi was named the prefect of Jiuquan during the Ling Emperor period. There was also a Handan merchant who came to serve on this territory earlier than Xu Yi.

Handan merchants were appointed governor of Yongzhou...

Handan merchants are now stranded in Yuanquan County. The reason for staying in Yuanquan County was that on the one hand, there was an old relationship between the Handan merchants and Zhang Huan's youngest son, Zhang Meng, and on the other hand, Fei Qian sent Jia Xu as the governor of Liangzhou.

Liangzhou and Yongzhou, I can’t tell them apart.

Not only people of later generations can't tell the difference, but people in the Han Dynasty can't tell the difference either.

The establishment of Yongzhou was revoked, and it was revoked and established again. It's been torn apart and put back together, put together and taken apart again. It's a rather toss-up state.

Nowadays, Yongzhou is divided from Liangzhou, but the word "Yong" reminds people of the ancient Yongzhou of "Yongshui" and "Yongshan". Whether it is Yongshui or Yongshan, they are both in the Youfufeng area of ​​Guanzhong, which is the ancient Yongzhou including Guanzhong Sanfu. Liangzhou was separated from ancient Yongzhou, and now Liangzhou has been divided into new Yongzhou. At the same time, after the separation, there is no effective official affiliation between Liangzhou and Yongzhou, so don't say that the people are confused. He was so confused that even the officials didn't know what to do.

Jiuquan, according to the previous division, belonged to Liangzhou, but it was later divided by the imperial court to New Yongzhou. Similarly, if it was based on the previous division by the imperial court, then Wuwei, Zhangye, Dunhuang, and Xihai also belonged to New Yongzhou. They all fall under the jurisdiction of Handan Shang, the governor of Yongzhou.

Fei Qian treated these officials of the old dynasty relatively favorably and did not discriminate against them. He basically retained their positions and would not make things difficult for them. Of course, he would not pay them salaries on behalf of the imperial court. Of course, these people basically don't live off their salaries. There are actually many ways for them to get money. They don't even need to make money before someone will give them a lot of money...

And to be honest, the closer you get to Hu land, the dividing line between Hu and Han is not so clear, and the tribal manor system exists at the same time.

This tribal manor system is a word coined by Fei Qian.

Because in this area, there were both manor serfs and tribal slaves, and even the two overlapped to create a strange and twisted production and lifestyle that existed for many years.

Existence is reasonable.

The reason why it ends with the manor system instead of the tribal system is because it is generally centered on a fixed manor. It is similar to the manor system in Shandong, but it is mixed with a more primitive slavery system, which has the suppression of the human body. More harsh oppression and exploitation. But at the same time, the tribe is barbaric, ferocious, and bloody.

The tribal system can be said to be a system with extremely low productivity. Everything in the tribe belongs to the tribal chief, including all property and life. The tribal chief can kill, massacre, and punish any member of the tribe at will, and carry out whatever he wants. Violence does not require any reason or law. The will of the tribal chief is the will of the tribe.

The reason why Fei Qian said that the New Yongzhou area belongs to the category of tribal manor system is because there are both manor system scholars and tribal barbarians, twisting together and coexisting at the same time, but because there was no such thing before the Eastern Han Dynasty Completely collapsed, so the manorial system slightly gained the upper hand. It is conceivable that if the strength of the Central Plains dynasty weakens and it is unable to control these areas, these areas will quickly slip into a tribal system, or something similar to a tribal system...

After the Han Dynasty established its capital in Luoyang, its control over the land west of Longyou and Hexi continued to weaken. In the Hexi area, the big families and surnames went their own way, attacking and robbing each other, with one hand black and the other white, which almost became a norm. Even if Dong Zhuo collapsed, Han and Ma were destroyed, and Beigong was uprooted, it still could not be regarded as completely eradicating the ills in these areas.

The disease comes like a mountain falling, and the disease goes away like a thread spinning.

For these local powerful factions, not everyone will be willing to join.

Especially after tasting the taste of the Tu Emperor...

Pang Chuo is here to give someone away.

Of course it's not Pang Xun's own, but someone else's.

He is just responsible for delivering it.

The head belonged to a "Tu Emperor", a guy who suddenly became abnormal and unreasonable for some reason.

The head was marinated in lime, the dehydrated skin was blue and black, and the cheeks were so tightly pulled that the yellow and black teeth were exposed. Although it had been lime-dehydrated in winter, the rotten smell was still very strong, which made Pang Qiao uncomfortable.

But Pang Qiao still had to hold such a head, and then held it all the way to the Fei Qian table case.

"Is this Song Jian?" Fei Qian asked.

Asking knowingly.

Pang Qiao bowed his hands respectfully and replied: "Reply to Hussar, that's right." 』

Then Pang Qiao slightly stretched out his hand to signal, "There are a total of 138 officials from the pseudo prime minister down, and their heads are displayed outside." 』

Song Jian, also known as Zong Jian, is a "king", a king he made for himself.

At first, no one cared about this at all.

Unlike in the Han Dynasty, in the mountains and forests located in the edge areas, there are many barbarians and various tribes. There are many kings and kings in the villages. I don’t know how many kings there are among the Qiang people, kings among the Di people, and Zhi people. Ba people and so on may ask casually what kind of king they are.

Therefore, Song Jian, the self-proclaimed king in the corner of the corner, no one paid attention to this matter at the beginning.

It is indeed the horns and corners. He became king among the Di and Qiang people, probably in the hills east of Xiping and west of Hanzhong, in a county called Panhan.

Speaking of which, this guy was an invisible prince in the Three Kingdoms. In history, he actually remained invisible for thirty years before being destroyed...

When the Han Dynasty rebelled, Song Jian responded, captured Panhan, and then killed the original Han officials in Panhan, becoming the local emperor. Although Song Jian's behavior was very bad, compared with Han Sui and Ma Teng, it was like a folliculitis on the limbs of a big man. Compared with the large wound cut by Han Sui and Ma Teng, it was really not worth mentioning.

Song Jian was born in Yicong, Liangzhou. According to the concept of later generations, he was actually equivalent to the local "regiment training", claiming to have ten thousand soldiers and horses...

Of course, this is actually bullying many ordinary people who don't know how to count. Obviously, Song Jian definitely does not have so many people. Because Song Jian had been staying in Panghan County from beginning to end. If there were really so many people, could a small county in a poor ravine support an army of 10,000 people for thirty years? So there are only ten thousand people at most, including the old and the weak like most rebels.

When Zhang Liao and Yang Fu sent troops to the snowy area, they did not deliberately take a detour to conquer. On the one hand, Wuhan was in a mountainous area. It was not cost-effective to take a special detour to fight. On the other hand, Song Jian was not dizzy at the time, or was already dizzy, but no news came out, so Zhang Liao and others thought that they were just a big dog, and since Song Jian showed no obvious hostility, the Tibetan people were the focus at that time, and it was not worth making such a special trip.

Then things slowly started to get weird...

Song Jian didn't know what was wrong, but he actually started to form a "court"!

Not only did he hold an enthronement ceremony, he also began to imitate the model of the Han Dynasty, and began to seal the prime minister, three princes, and hundreds of officials...

There are really "hundred" officials, with a total of more than one hundred and thirty officials granted.

These officials may have been sealed at the beginning, or they may have been sealed later, but they are all here now...

After Yang Fu learned the news, he led his troops to attack the city. In less than ten days, he broke into the city. Even Song Jian, the local emperor, and all his "hundred officials" cut off their heads and forwarded them to Fei. Dive in front.

no Zuo no Die.

Compared with the feudal dynasties of later generations, the Han Dynasty was relatively tolerant. As long as they did not seek death, they generally would not go out of their way to attack the surrounding barbarian tribes and village leaders. King, but there are some red lines that cannot be touched.

For example, like Song Jian, it is okay to be king, but once he imitates the imperial court and appoints prime minister or something, the entire clan will be immediately beheaded.

No one knows what Song Jian was thinking at the time, but that is not the point. The point is that if he really wants to die, no one can stop him...

Is it really that important whether you have been granted the title of "Hundred Officials"?

Because claiming to be a king is just a title, and enfeoffing hundreds of officials represents order.

There can only be one order within a country.

If a country cannot protect its own order, it is an original sin and death is not a pity.

Just like Song Jian.

This is a confrontation between order and order.

So, why can a place in the Hexi Corridor be both Liangzhou and Yongzhou, or can it be cut off wherever it wants? So after cutting it open, when you want to close it, can you really close it?

Fei Qian glanced at Pang Qian.

Pang Qiao stood aside respectfully, a little embarrassed.

For these local powerful people, short-sightedness is also a common feature. It cannot be said that these people do not understand loyalty. They also have the concept of loyalty, but sometimes the objects of loyalty are strange.

"Has Prefect Xu's illness gotten better?" 』

Fei Qian looked at the heads here and asked suddenly.

Pang Xuan's body trembled slightly, and he lowered his head and reported back, "Qi Hussar... Xu Shijun's illness has been recurring and he has not yet recovered..."

Fei Qian nodded.

Is Xu Yi, the prefect of Jiuquan, sick? Even if you say it's false, it's not false, and if you say it's true, it's not completely true.

Xu Yi is not in good health. He is incomparable to Xiliang Wufu. It is normal to be weak and sick. Is it just that he is really sick and can't get out of bed...

Not necessarily.

According to a report from the Youwen Division, after the news that Cao Cao was raising troops to attack Guanzhong reached Jiuquan, Xu Yi fell ill and could not afford to be ill.

Of course, Fei Qian did not need to be a person who had to force patients to come to see him in order to show his majesty, so he did not force Xu Yi to come to see him. For some people, even if they come, it’s useless if their heart doesn’t come.

Xu Yi's thoughts, or heart problems, are actually not difficult to guess.

Before Cao Cao and Fei Qian went to war, Shandong and Guanzhong could still maintain relative "peace" on the surface, and they could still be regarded as a "whole", or "brothers". Even if there were some fights or even fights between brothers, but It was just a fist move, and at most the nose was bruised and the face was a little swollen, but now that he was raising a knife and a gun, it was nothing more than a nosebleed.

With an identity like Xu Yi, he could self-anesthetize before and show that he was still within the Han Dynasty court under the Hussar, but now he can no longer deceive himself.

As the prefect of Jiuquan, Xu Yi should in principle be responsible for Fei Qian, because Fei Qian was the military governor of the three states and was in charge of the Xijing Shangshutai. But the problem is that Cao Cao now claims that these are transgressions and treason, and Fei Qian is in Guanzhong. Officials in the North and other places cannot be counted...

This is very embarrassing.

It was so embarrassing that Xu Yi could only get sick. He was so sick that it was best to wait until the dust had settled before he could recover.

Pang Xuan obviously knew this, but he belonged to a local wealthy family. Xu Yi said that he was unable to manage due to illness, so he walked away, but Pang Xuan couldn't leave, so he could only bite the bullet and come to see Fei. Qian, even if this kind of meeting has a somewhat official nature, in the eyes of others, it may mean taking sides.

It's a pity that Fei Qian is still not satisfied with Pang Xuan's "standing in line".

"Master Pang's book..."

Fei Qian seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"Ah... my subordinate is here..."

Pang Qiao responded quickly.

"Master Pang has lived here for many years, so he must be familiar with the surrounding people..." Fei Qian said softly, in an understatement, "Now that I see the outstanding people in Jiuquan, and the beautiful scenery here, I can't bear to enjoy it to myself... So can I trouble Master Pang?" Inviting everyone to come here on behalf of someone... Someone prepared a small amount of wine and swept the couch to welcome them..."

"Uh...subordinate...obey orders..."

Although Pang Chuo knew that this was not a good job, he could only bow his head and accept the order now.

Good times and beautiful scenery?

What beautiful scenery?

In the middle of winter, come and see the heads all over the place?

There are countless orange and wheat peels swirling in Pang Xuan's heart...
