Everyone in the world says that the Qiang people are cunning. I saw them today, but that's it.

With the lessons of the Yellow Turban Thief, he dared to pretend to be a ghost in front of King Ji.

How impatient you are to live!

Seeing that his head was bleeding, he still repent. Liu Bei took his order back and said, "Go down."

"Here!" The embroidered clerk striding forward and carried the few people out of the hall.

"I have reported to the lord. The Qiang rebellion has accumulated deep resentment for a hundred years. If you practice benevolent government, you still need to kill one to warn a hundred." Xun You said, "The Qiang and Hu are fickle, but they are all afraid of the strong. You should carry the power of victory and the power of thunder to make them surrender. Then you educate and gather their hearts. Only then will you make the best strategy."

Liu Bei nodded in agreement: "How should we act with public opinion?"

"Master may be like this..."

"Oh?" Liu Bei, who was not unfamiliar with this plan, smiled happily: "The plan of Gongda should be not weak in Wenhe."

To sum up, this Western Expedition was not about the gains and losses of one place and one city, but about eliminating the stubborn diseases of the Qiang Rebellion.

The Qiang people were unruly, and they were called "Western Qiang" in the pre-Qin period. They were originally semi-nomadic people. At first, they "live in an impermanent place, and follow water and grass. The land was less than five grains and were used to produce pastoral products." Therefore, the nomadic Qiang people had a strong custom. They were strong and brave, endured hardships and cold-resistant. The young and strong people of the tribe were brave and fierce, and they were brave and fierce.

After moving eastward, the Qiang people changed their nomadic people to agriculture and animal husbandry, called "Dong Qiang". They tried to plant grains next to their respective villages and raising cattle and sheep. The customs gradually compatible with the Han people. However, the nature of the strong and worshiping the strong has not changed.

Taiwei Duan killed countless Qiang people. However, Qiang people respected them like gods. This is why.

Speaking of Duan Taiwei, Liu Bei once obtained Duan Taiwei's "Ping Qiang Letters" in the secret room of the mansion. During Luoyang, he studied it every day. He knew all the tribes of the Eastern Qiang as he knew it very well. Jia Xu also often accompanied him to study it. When he returned to Ji State, Liu Bei handed over all the "Ping Qiang Letters" to Jia Xu for study. Unexpectedly, he was unintentionally working, and now he has great use.

It can be said that every drink and every peck is the first to be determined.

The reason why Jia Xu used Yan Zhong's mouth to build Jincheng, Dashijiu and set up a plan to catch turtles in a jar was inspired by Duan Taiwei's "Ping Qiang Letters". In "Ping Qiang Letters", there are detailed books on the customs and festivals of the Qiang people.

Therefore, we can know the taboos of the Heavenly Sacrifice on June 24th.

In short, if we want to quell the Qiang rebellion, there are only two strategies: one is urgent and the other is slow.

An urgent plan requires a quick knife. The so-called quick knife cuts the mess. The Qiang people are brave and brave, and they will all be killed. The Eastern Qiang people are young and strong. They are unable to plan to rebel within ten years. This is the worst strategy.

To slow down, one needs long-term feelings. The so-called moving them with emotion and understanding them with reason. To set up officials, eliminate harsh policies, and to organize the Qiang people to education for generations. After a hundred years, all the Qiang people will return to their hearts. The Qiang people are all Han people. They do not distinguish between you and me. This is the best strategy.

The worst is too urgent, and the best is too slow.

The empire was so weak that it lasted for a hundred years. And Liu Bei could not live in Longyou for a long time. If the Qiang people had a good fortune, they would be transferred back. The land of Longyou was sold by His Majesty to others. They bought officials and took office, scraped three feet of the ground, and even the Qiang people rebelled again. Such a failure was a vicious cycle. The Qiang people were repeatedly "played" and learned from their mistakes. They would inevitably become suspicious and cunning. They no longer trusted Han officials.

It is even more difficult to make him return home again.

In "Ping Qiang Notes", Duan Taiwei also reflected on the national policy of pacifying Qiang. The biggest contradiction between Han and Qiang was also the land.

The various species of Eastern Qiang are mostly concentrated in the Hehuang River Basin. Jincheng County and the west of Longxi County, and a vast area with "a thousand miles of land". However, the water and grass here are abundant and suitable for animal husbandry and farming. They are mostly distributed in blocks and have no connections. Such as the Hehuang Valley, Xihai, Yanchi, Daxiao, Dayun Valley, Cizhihequ, Cizhiheshou, etc.

There are "beautiful grass in the plain land" and "fish and salt benefits". During the time of Wang Mang, Xihai County was established and five counties were built. The big and small Yugu "the land is fertile", followed by the good place. Dayun Valley was the second. Cizhihequ again. Cizhihe head was the westmost and the good place was the second.

Therefore, between Hehuang, the West Sea and the Big and Small Yu Valleys became the focus of the competition between the Qiang and Han dynasties.

Except for "fighting for geographical advantage", it is a harsh policy and military service.

The Qiang people mostly settled down the mountain. There were many mountains and hills around them. It was not suitable for farming. Many excellent pastures in Guanshan were all assigned to the state, and they raised war horses and were not allowed to grazle. The Qiang people were often used as "Yi Cong" to recruit them, but were disabled due to war, but they did not receive any pensions. In addition, whenever they encountered disputes, the officials of the county and county were mostly protected by the Han people. After a long period of resentment, they had no way to vent their hatred, so they could only raise their heads and turn against them.

Of course, in the view of Duan Taiwei, the Qiang people also have the disadvantages of the Qiang people.

The first thing to do is to reproduce excessively.

The Qiang people in Hexi often practice "reluctant wife system". "reluctant wife system" means "reluctant wife system".

Fan Ye's "Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Biography of the Western Qiang" records: "... (Qiang people) have married each other after the twelve generations. If the father is dead, his wife and stepmother will be married, and if the brother is dead, he will be given a sister-in-law (widowed sister-in-law). There are no widows in the hometown, and there are many kinds of species." Du You's "Tongdian" quotes the notes of "Guangzhi" and said: "Qiang is the same as the Northern Di, and his man is dull, and he has wives and concubines, and many sons have surnames. One person has dozens of children, or a hundred people."

Here, the word "Rao Wife" was first seen in historical records.

The Han Dynasty also performed multiple wives. However, the multiple wives of the Han Dynasty were comparable to those of the title. For example, Liu Bei, although he was the King of Ji, could only marry forty young wives. The common people had a wife without concubines. A scholar had a wife and a concubine, which was enough to regulate human ethics, and had strict etiquette and law, so he could not be good at going beyond his power.

How could he be like a beast, "wife and stepmother, Nali's wife"?

All of the above have been eliminated. There is another reason that Liu Bei was most unexpected.

Professional mercenary, or professional thief.

Just as the Han Dynasty had professional soldiers and family members of the army, the Qiang people also had similar organizational structures.

Take this rebellion as an example.

The cause was that the Yellow Turban thieves spent a huge amount of money to hire thirty-six Qiangqu to work together.

According to Prince Xianling, according to the conventional distribution of interests, the money, food and fodder that the Qiang cavalry plundered must be divided into three parts.

One of the masters, one of the tribes, one of their own.

In other words, for the Qiang people in Xiliang, rebellion is actually a business.

This can no longer be described as "lipping blood from a knife". It is clearly a way to make money with the head of the whole family. It is really "deadly money".

Put your heart in your heart. If you were not forced to do it and in a desperate situation, who would have done this way?

After Liu Bei learned about it, all kinds of flavors were mixed.

There are very different places in Xiliang.

Jincheng Pass.

When he learned that Longshan Daoshi Pass fell overnight, military advisor Yan Zhong rode alone into the pass, Han Sui became ten years older.

Although most of the thirty-six Qiangqu have returned to the camp, their morale has been low and their morale has been chaotic. The distance has dispersed, and it is not far away.

Unify the six armies and hold the power. There are thirty-six Qiangqu, and the horse's head is in line. Han Sui's ambition just now was blown away ruthlessly.

The question is very simple. Whether to surrender or fight.

How to fight when fighting? How to surrender?

In a dilemma, General Shihan's mansion suddenly arrived at Xiongguan. The words were that he was ordered by the military advisor and saw him three days later.

When I opened the bamboo tube, I felt relieved.

In the barrel, there was only one of the remarks left by King Ji. It was the prefect of Jincheng who left blank space.

As if he had grabbed the life-saving straw, Han Sui immediately made up his mind.
Chapter completed!
