Chapter 82 Forcing the Qiang tribes to separate [Chapter 2]
After seeing Dong Zhuo off, Dong Hu sat in a row of generals. Whether it was the deputy general of the Ninth Battalion or the most ordinary soldiers below, even the more than 10,000 baggage soldiers who helped herd sheep were all over the top and poured the wine into his stomach without spending money. But he didn't know what kind of sad conversation was like at this time.
The 30,000 Dong Buyi ran away with a butt, but there was no food left for the imperial army. At first, it was better. The rebellious Qiang people had some cattle and sheep, and they could also give them food to the imperial court, and they could also give some cattle and sheep to the Qiang people who escaped from the Hehuang Valley. But this was not the belly of three or five people, but the belly of hundreds of thousands of people.
According to the food rations of four kilograms per person (actually 2 kilograms), 100,000 people consume 3,300 sheep every day. When fighting, there is no way, and it is impossible not to give it food. But there is no war anymore. Next, they will cultivate and herd sheep. Who would still want their own cattle and sheep to be gone?
Han Sui, Bian Zhang, Li Wenhou, Meng Du and others were almost worn out. No one in the room was talking, and no one was willing to go and see the four people who were persuading them.
Meng Du persuaded him to his mouth dry. Seeing that everyone was still cold and he didn't speak, he kicked his younger brother Meng Wei with his feet, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching.
Meng Wei felt regretful many times. If he had known that Dong Hu had easily obtained the entire Hehuang Valley, even if he had cut off Li Wenhou with one knife that day, he would never have gone to Baishishu. How could he have fallen to this point?
Unable to blame himself, Meng Wei still had to get up and hold his fists.
"Dear leaders!"
"The lieutenant is sitting here. The lord said that the court will return the food to you, so why should you worry?"
Wang Guo, the leader of the Qiang Village in Hanyang, looked unhappy and said coldly: "Although we scolded Tiger Baby for being treacherous and cunning, we still admire it in our hearts. At least we can't do anything for the court's penny or grain, but so what? The court borrowed Tiger Baby's cattle and sheep and did not give food, so why don't we surround Tiger Baby's soldiers?"
"That's it! You Meng Er don't talk nonsense with us. If the imperial army eats up all our cattle and sheep and doesn't give us food, what should we do?"
"He Jishishan is a group of people who have lost their tribe. They still eat ours. What are you talking about with him?"
"Meng Da, Meng Er, don't stare at you. Others are willing to give you cattle and sheep. That's someone else. Anyway, we won't give you cattle and sheep again!"
...
The group of people looked cold and looked at each other. Meng Du stood up and pointed at the group of people and cursed.
"You think I am willing to eat yours? I was staying in Jishishan for a good time. Are you guys who are trying to force me to come?"
The kingdom couldn't help but snorted coldly.
"snort!"
"That's what Beigong Boyu did. If you are dissatisfied, go and talk to Beigong Boyu!"
Meng Du was furious and couldn't help but touch his waist. More than ten people behind the kingdom stepped forward.
"Meng Da, do you want to kill us?"
Wang Guo had a gloomy face, and Han Sui hurriedly grabbed Mengdu, who was full of eyebrows and eyes, and looked at the crowd and smiled bitterly.
"When the lieutenant took his own land as collateral, how could he owe the children's food if they did not obey the order?"
Hanyang County Quju Dianwu, the leader of Qiang, looked at Huangfu Song who was frowning and silent, then looked at Huangfu Li standing behind him, and suddenly sighed.
"What the prefect said is that, in theory, the lieutenant took his own land as collateral, and we should believe it, but why do we hear people say... Two thousand hectares of fields are some wild lands in the mountains and forests that are useless?"
Huangfu Song sighed in his heart, very angry with the bastard words his nephew said, but his face was extremely serious.
"I will say solemnly that if the court does not feed Dong Duwei, the two thousand hectares of fertile land of Sanfu will be Dong Duwei's field!"
Another serious face spoke.
"At the latest half a month, the first batch of grain will be shipped in half a month, but you also know that it is winter now. Even if the court prepares for food transfer, it will be difficult for it to transport it to Jincheng Pass. You should go to your respective counties and counties, and all the counties will prepare for food transfer nearby."
The room was filled with people looking at each other without saying a word. Huangfu Song knew that he was not more cautious when dealing with Dong Hu, which caused the current situation of distrust. After thinking about it...
"Even if I don't say this, you know how many cattle and sheep you can use. It's October now. If you don't have enough food, you will not be able to support the summer food for the coming year, unless you cut off this general now and rebel again as a thief."
After looking at each other, Wang Guo stood up and smiled bitterly at Huangfu Song.
"Don't doubt our loyalty, but the lieutenant also knows our difficulties..."
"Forget it, we can still take out a thousand sheep and give it to the adults. Today... I will go back to Hanyang County today. I hope the adults can have mercy and give some food."
Seeing Wang Guo lowering his head and holding his fists, everyone looked at each other with helpless expressions and stood up and held his fists together.
"I hope you will be merciful!"
Seeing that they finally bowed their heads, Huangfu Song also relieved his heart, got up and hugged everyone, with a serious look on his face.
"Please rest assured that the court will definitely not ignore your difficulties."
All of them were suffering in their hearts, but they could not help. As Huangfu Song said, unless they rebel immediately, they would not be able to support the next summer harvest.
The group of people were helpless, but they were not stupid. They knew that they would get together to keep warm and were not willing to disperse themselves too much. Some went to Beidi County, and most were willing to go to Hanyang County. Huangfu Song agreed without considering the requests from many Qiang leaders for too long.
During the quarrel between the Qiang people, Dong Mao, Dong Min, Niu Fu and others did not participate, not only because cattle and sheep, food and supplies were Huangfu Song's affairs, but more because they were dissatisfied with Huangfu Li's words of "wasteland".
The court dragged it again and again, and the intention was obvious. Not only Dong Mao, but also Niu Fu and others could see that the court wanted to pay the debt, but how could Huangfu Song not see it? Without thinking about it, he also knew that it was a greedy eunuch in the inner court who came up with a greedy eunuch.
Huangfu Song can admit that he lost the 2,000 hectares of land in vain to lose the most fertile land of Sanfu. Not to mention Huangfu Li, even his own son Huangfu Jianshou was unwilling to do so. Wouldn't he have a rumor about "wasteland" to cheat and be slick?
The Dongqiang guys were eager for Dong Hu to suffer a bad luck, otherwise they would not have taken out all the old and weak soldiers to surround Yuzhong City. But it was his turn, so he would never be willing!
No one is a fool. The court can eat Dongbuyicon's cattle and sheep, and even cut off the food that Dongbuyicon planted. It can force Dongbuyicon to rebel, and can also follow the same rules. But this is an extremely deadly thing. Once the cattle and sheep are eaten up, even if they want to rebel, they will have no strength to rebel.
After everyone left, Huangfu Song then smiled bitterly.
"well……"
"A group of eunuchs who have harmed the country and the people..."
Zhou Shen said angrily: "The eunuchs ruined the country and did not give us food. Are you not afraid of these Qiang people rebelling again? Are you not afraid of the soldiers in the army being dissatisfied with rebellion?"
The generals were angry and unhappy with gloomy faces. Not to mention that the Qiang people were dissatisfied, how could they be satisfied with the ten thousand soldiers?
The war was over the 30,000 Dongbuyi left Yuzhong City, and the soldiers of the court should go home and their own kids. But if the 100,000 Qiang people gathered together, if they were not broken up and settled, no one could guarantee whether the 100,000 Qiang people would rebel again after the court's army left.
There is no guarantee that the imperial soldiers would not be able to go home, but the imperial soldiers have not brought them food yet. How can hungry soldiers feel at ease?
Huangfu Song repeatedly urged food. The governor of Liangzhou Zuo Chang recruited grain from all counties in the territory. Fan Jin, the prefect of Hanyang County, sent 10,000 stones of grain. Li Kuan, the governor of Longxi County, also sent 10,000 stones of grain. I don’t know if it was because of Dong Hu or because Li Kuan’s prefect bought it for money. Anyway, he became the chicken that killed the chicken to warn the monkey.
When Didao was besieged, Li Kuan had to pay for it out of his own pocket. The thief army was next to Didao, and the people could not farm well. He did not dare to force the people too much when the thieves rebelled. He sent 10,000 stones of grain to Jincheng, but he still paid out of his own pocket. The same 10,000 stones, Fan Jin, the prefect of Hanyang County, received a big praise, but he was scolded by the people of the Zuochang Sect.
How could he bully people like this? Li Kuan was so angry that he directly reported to the three ministers and threw the prefect seal to his younger brother Li Shen. Whoever wants to be the prefect will do it? Anyway, he is unwilling to pay out of his own pocket.
Hanyang County and Longxi County each sent 10,000 stones of grain, but after that, they did not get a single grain. All the counties fought a war of verbalism, and none of them were willing to pay for the food.
Liangzhou was poor and could not provide food, so he could only ask Luoyang for food. Luoyang asked Chang'an to provide food. Chang'an reported that Dong Hu had money and food, and he gave advice to force Dong Hu to pay...
After one round, half a year has passed since Dong Hu resolved the crisis for Didao, and there is no food. The food for more than ten thousand soldiers of the court was either Didao's food or cheated Dong Hu of more than 100,000 cattle and sheep, and then ate the cattle and sheep of the Dong Qiang people who were recruited...
When he thought of the dilemma he was facing, Huangfu Song felt a little regretful, regretting that he could not take advantage of the unstable morale of the rebels. If it were at that time, not only would there not be so many Qiang people to be resettled, but he would also be able to take advantage of the opportunity to break into the Hehuang Valley and seize the food, cattle and sheep in the hands of the child, and would not have been so passive...
"It was time to take advantage of the situation when Dong Duwei killed the thief behind the thief, and we should take advantage of the situation to kill the thief. You and I will not be in such a dilemma..."
"well……"
"The only way now is to disperse the Qiang people as soon as possible, let the soldiers return home as soon as possible, and let the court recruit some money and food as soon as possible."
Everyone was silent...
Zhou Shen nodded and said, "What the lieutenant said is that this food alone cannot last much time. Military soldiers must return home as soon as possible, but... But if there is no money or food with the soldiers, how can the soldiers be satisfied? Moreover, even if some Qiang people are scattered here, there are still tens of thousands of Qiang people, and some soldiers must be left in the Jincheng Pass."
Huangfu Song was silent...
"What does General Zhou think of Dong Mao?"
Zhou Shen was stunned, and Huangfu Li, who was standing beside him, couldn't help speaking.
"Uncle, that cripple..."
"Bang!"
Huangfu Song pointed to the door, looking cold.
"go out!"
Huangfu Li was panicked and couldn't help but lift her robe and kneel on the ground, her voice trembling.
"Nephew...nephew was wrong..."
...
Huangfu Song did not speak coldly, and no one in the room dared to come forward to persuade him, even Huangfu Jianshou did not dare to persuade him.
"snort!"
"Dong is not good at engaging in legs and feet, but his talent is ten times more powerful than you! If you dare to say nonsense again, you will go back to the old house!"
