Chapter 820 Opinion
Amidst the cold wind, thousands of people came out of the Lan Valley, cutting trees and sifting soil, busy without stopping.
The horses that have been raised for a whole summer and autumn are fat and strong, and they are extremely powerful when galloping on the grassland.
While hunting, the knights watched the north vigilantly.
Cai Tian moved the wood for a long time, looked at the dirty clothes, and then looked at the almost split fingers. Suddenly he felt sad and burst into tears.
It's just drinking and getting drunk, it's just letting your hair hang loose in someone's mourning hall, it's just dancing naked around other people's female relatives, why is it like this?
All of a sudden, he changed from a pampered rich man to a criminal in the frontier.
If the family hadn’t sent someone to take care of her, her wife would have lost her virginity on the way to escort.
This is not the end, or even just the beginning.
The exiles are all sinners. They will be monitored on weekdays and have to provide for their own food. And before the first crop of grain is harvested, one can only imagine how difficult it is to survive by getting grain from above and below.
Today I followed the brigade north to cut wood and ram soil. The food and grass prepared above were limited, and the work was still very heavy. After working for half a day, my stomach was growling with hunger, and my hands were cracked...
If someone fishes him out now Go, he will definitely change his past, be a good person, and never deviate from his original ways again.
What a bullshit scholarly demeanor. When you work hard every day, are exhausted, and are sick all over, you have no demeanor at all.
He realized it, but it seemed too late.
“Get up and work.” The patrolling soldier came over.
Because he had been told by his superiors, his attitude was quite good and he did not use force. But military orders are military orders. All prisoners, sinners, and slaves are sent to Caochengchuan to build a city. No matter how much care they are taken, they cannot violate this rule.
If you have any dissatisfaction, let me hold it in. If you have the ability, go to Mr. Liu Fu and see if he is afraid of you.
Cai Tian suffered a loss. After hearing this, he wiped his tears and returned to the forest farm to continue carrying wood.
Liu Zhao galloped over on horseback, surrounded by hundreds of knights.
Compared with last year, the equipment has been improved. There are a lot more iron armors, the number of leather armors has also increased, and the combat effectiveness is increasing day by day.
"It's going to snow..." Liu Zhao looked up at the sky and sighed.
Fortunately, it is almost finished.
This time, more than 10,000 men, women and elderly people, plus 2,000 slaves and criminals, were dispatched. They left the Lan Valley and went to Caocheng to build a city in the middle of the river.
After working hard for more than half a month, in five to ten days, the outline of the city will be almost completed.
The city is not big and rough, but it already has basic defensive functions.
In order to build the city, Xun Chuo, the Minister of Duzhi, sent five thousand pieces of silk.
Liu Zhao accepted it, but also scorned it.
Five thousand bolts of silk are not enough, and they are not of much use. It is better to send some equipment, daily necessities and food.
If it weren't for the sake of "uncle", he wouldn't move at all. Who cares about this bit of silk? I don’t live in Pingyang or Luoyang.
A bell sounded in the distance.
After a while, the messenger dismounted and bowed to the ground, saying: "Master Fu, there are only a dozen or so riders peeking today, and they have been dispersed." Going is really asking for death. Let’s see what they do next year after the city is built. By the way, what is the name of this city?”
“The king named it ‘Zhalu’. "Zhalu City, a thoroughfare for thieves, is a good name." Liu Zhao said with a smile: "I have long been attracted by the Caocheng River. There are rivers crisscrossing the land, ponds everywhere, and more flat land than Ningwu and Jingle. If it is used for planting The land is a good area for grazing. "
Zhalu City is located in the Qianwuwangcheng Village area in the northwest of Wuzhai County, Shanxi Province. It had a city during the Warring States Period and was later abandoned.
The city is surrounded by hills and the terrain is dangerous, overlooking the small basin of Caocheng River with rich water and grass. Once supplies are hoarded and soldiers and horses are stationed in this city, the Xianbei people will no longer be able to graze safely in the Caocheng River.
After learning that Helan Aitou entered Shengle and had an enmity with the Qi family and his son, Shao Xun ordered Liu Zhao, the prefect of Kelan, to go out to see if there was any possibility of building a city in Caochengchuan.
Now it seems that the battle between the enemies is more intense than imagined, so much so that peripheral grasslands such as Caochengchuan were abandoned and the tribes, soldiers and horses were moved elsewhere to prepare for the war.
The harder they fight, the more beneficial it will be to the Jin army.
At the end of November, the construction of Chalu City was finally completed.
Liu Zhao looked left and right and planned to expand two more warehouse cities so that they would be in the shape of a zigzag with the main city to support each other and store a large amount of food, grass and equipment. However, it was snowing heavily, and countless slaves and criminals were frozen to death every day. There were stiff corpses being cleared out, and the strong men and women complained, so they had no choice but to leave it at that.
After storing a certain amount of hay, cheese, and preserved meat here, and leaving thousands of troops to guard it, he returned to Tianchi.
For him, if he succeeds in building the city, this year's mission has been completed.
If a war breaks out next year, Chalu City will become the general food platform for the army. There may be civilian servants from the south to expand it, but this is none of his business.
******
Hundreds of miles away in Shengle City, Helan Aitou was very proud.
As soon as he entered the city, he took the concubines left by the late king and enjoyed them day and night.
As for my nephew Tuoba Yihuai, please bear with me for now. In a few days, Aitou will remarry a younger sister to him. It will be great to marry his aunt back home. She will know how to feel cold and hot, and will be able to take care of others.
On this day, Helan Aitou entered the palace city under the escort of a group of sergeants - to be honest, this damn palace is almost the same as a Han Dynasty mansion. It still needs to be rebuilt. Helan Aitou has been beaten. I have made up my mind to recruit Ding Zhuang to do this next year. After all, as the assistant prime minister, he will also be in charge of the palace. After arriving at the Assistant Prime Minister's Mansion, a group of tribal nobles had been waiting for a long time.
He Lan glanced around, then walked in the door with a big belly and laughed.
At this point in life, there are only two words: proud!
"Yi Lou, you are robbing houses and women as soon as you enter the city. You are going too far." He Lan pointed his head at the person closest to him and said displeasedly: "This is Shengle, not a small village. , restrain yourself.”
Ilou was not very happy after hearing this, but he did not dare to hit Helan’s head. He only muttered: “You have taken the most beautiful woman into your house, and you don’t allow me. How many will you grab?”
He Lan was stunned and wanted to refute, but he didn’t know where to start, so he had to give up.
Yiluo is one of the ten core tribes of Tuoba and is an important force that he can invoke.
The so-called ten Tuoba tribes all started out as one family.
During the period of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains, there was a man named Tuoba Lin in the Mobei grassland. Because he annexed many small tribes and his strength increased greatly, he gave benefits to his seven brothers.
The old Tuoba tribe is still led by Tuoba neighbors.
The remaining annexed Jiangzhong were divided into seven, with the eldest brother being the Hegu clan and leading one group; the second brother being the Pu family and leading one group; the third brother being the Baba clan and leading the other group. The fifth brother is the Daxi family and leads one group; the sixth brother is the Yilou family and leads one group; the seventh brother is the Qiu Dun family and leads one group; the eighth brother is the Qihai family and leads one group.
Later, he gave benefits to his uncle and took charge of his own branch, named Yizhan clan.
Later, another member of the Tuoba clan with a slightly distant relationship was given benefits and received a branch, named Chekun clan.
This is the origin of the Shibu Tuoba. Although there are so many surnames, it turns out that they are all one family by blood.
But there are some close relationships among the ten tribes. The uncle Yizhan clan and the clan member Che Kun clan are not as close as the other eight tribes.
Last year in the western suburbs, there were seven wooden carvings on the altar, which symbolized the other seven tribes besides the Tuoba clan. After all, the ancestors of these eight tribes were divided among the eight brothers.
Generally speaking, Tuoba Daiguo is centered on the ten tribes of Tuoba, which control all the tribes, such as Lan tribe, Feng tribe, Bai tribe, Dugu tribe, Helan tribe, Hedouling tribe, Hexi tribe, etc.
Besides the Tuoba clan, there are also some tribes that surrender to them. They pay tribute from time to time, or go to war with them. These are called "tribes from all directions" and their control power is very weak.
The problem facing Tuoba Xianbei now is: Tuoba Shibu himself has split...
Fuck, the core is cracked, can we still play?
Baba tribe defected to Tuoba Shiyiqian.
Tuoba, Hegu, Pu, Daxi and Qihai defected to Tuoba Hesu.
Only Yilou, Qiu Dun, and Yi Zhan were following Tuoba Yihuai, while Che Kun was still wavering.
I didn’t expect there were so many New Party thieves when this happened!
"We have summoned you all here today because we have a business." Helan Aitou sat at the head of a group of Tuoba clan members without hesitation and said: "In the past, Liwei Gong sent desert sweats like Wei. Look at this. Customs. He has a famous saying, "I have seen that in the past, the Huns and Tadun were greedy for money and looted the border people. Although they gained something, the casualties were not enough to make up for it, and they also caused enemies and the people were in trouble. This is not a long-term plan." This statement is quite reasonable. Today, Shao Xun of Henan is not a cowardly leader. It is not the best idea for us to fight with him. It happens that Shao Xun also wants to make a good relationship, so we might as well use his power to break He Li first. What do you think about destroying Shi Yiqian and making other plans after cleaning up?”
“Aitou, I think you are dizzy!” Qiu Dun’s man slapped his thigh and asked. : "Do you still remember how Desert Khan died?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present felt a little uncomfortable.
Back then, Desert Khan entered Cao Wei as a hostage, and after the Jin and Wei Zen dynasties, he continued to stay in Jin as a hostage.
He is deeply Chinese and very capable, but he is disliked by the nobles who live outside the Great Wall, and his relationship with his younger brothers is not good. So Wei Guan, the general of the Northern Jin Dynasty, bribed Tuoba nobles and slandered him to kill Desert Khan. He eliminated a powerful enemy by physically destroying him.
After the death of Desert Khan, the Tuoba clan disintegrated for a time. Fortunately, the Tuoba clan had a capable person and saved it.
What Qiu Dun said was to remind everyone that the Jin people are not good people. They have been trying to find ways to bring down Tuoba Xianbei and the tribal alliance.
This was done during the reign of Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, wouldn't Shao Xun do this?
No, he is already doing this.
Separately canonizing Yi Huai and Shi Yiqian, can you not tell what evil intentions are hidden in them?
"Qiu Dun, please be patient." Helan Aitou was not satisfied with his attitude, but now he was weak and had to unite everyone, so he said: "Shao Xun is definitely not a good guy, and I don't believe it either He. But now that the matter has come to an end, it’s not a bad thing to unite. Don’t worry, He Li is a coward. As long as he suffers a few defeats, the tribes will disperse and defect to Yihuai again. "
" We won’t be able to fight a few battles, and not many people will die. The alliance’s strength is still there, and Shao Xun can’t help but wait for me.”
"It is better to unite with Shao Xun than with Shi Yijian." Someone said.
“Forget about Shi Yijian!” He Lan sighed and said, “I thought Wang Feng, Ba Barui, and Liu Lugu were so powerful, but they were beaten into a terrible mess. I heard it the day before yesterday After hearing the news, the Jin soldiers went north to rescue and forced the feudal tribe back. The bitch Wang took Shi Yiqian and fled into Fanyang. Many old and weak women and children of the tribe also fled into Changshan, Zhongshan, Shanggu, and Fanyang counties. Winter is coming, I think they have been defeated."
"This..." Everyone was a little worried when they heard that the Wuhuan Wang family had suffered a big defeat.
If He Li consolidates the eastern forces and then turns against them, they will also be defeated.
"Do you understand now?" He Lan Aitou said: "If Shao Xun doesn't intervene, this battle will be very dangerous. In my opinion, it is better to unite with the Jin people and defeat He Li first, and then try other things. Anyway, Shao Xun It is impossible for Xun to really rule the grassland. After winning the battle, he will be submissive, say something nice, and then ask Shi Yijian to come and send him as a hostage in Luoyang. Just like the desert sweat north of Yanmen Pass, we still have the final say. , it’s just a loss of face, it doesn’t hurt.”
"If we continue to hesitate, He Li will probably defeat the Wuhuan Wang family in May. How will we resist then?"
"In addition, I heard a news that Yuwen Qiu Buqin is likely to send troops to help. That bitch of the Qi family, He Li's strength has increased again."
Helan Aitou's last words were like a heavy hammer, which made everyone unable to recover.
Yuwen Xianbei wants to help Qi’s mother and son? If this is the case, how can we fight this battle?
It seems that the only way to consolidate oneself is to rely on Jin soldiers.
