Chapter 164 Care

Spring rain is as expensive as oil, and I'm worried if there are too many.

The continuous drizzle soon turned into heavy rain, pouring down from the air like pearls, and the sky and the earth were hazy.

At this time, Liangzhou, which is also in Shu, is also experiencing a life-and-death struggle for power.

The state capital of Liangzhou is Hanzhong, and there are 10,000 troops stationed in the city. However, because it is a rainy day, there is no sign that the Jingzhou army is going to kill, so there is no tense patrol army on the streets.

Huan Zhen sneaked back to Hanzhong in such a weather, and also killed Huan Xi in one fell swoop without preparation.

If you want to say that this Huan Zhen is indeed very brave, but his mind is still missing something, and his mind is full of loyalty to Lu Qiang. Without discussing with Huan Xuan and Bian Fanzhi, he went directly to Huan Xi's Mansion.

And if he can push Huan Xuan out after killing Huan Xi, maybe everything is good, but this single-minded guy actually thought that as long as he holds Huan Xi's command, he can learn to command Huan Xi's army like Lu Qiang.

But I didn't expect that there were still many generals in the army who were loyal to Huan Xi. Huan Zhen, who had no qualifications and had never commanded the army, wanted to command them? What's the difference from dreaming?

The result was much simpler. Huan Zhen, who held Lingfu and Huan Xi's head, was directly cut off by the violent generals in the barracks, and then the mutiny soldiers rushed into the city and killed Huan Xuan and Bian Fanzhi.

For goodly, these soldiers are all locals, otherwise the city will be harmed by the soldiers.

The general loyal to Huan Xi knew that Huan Zhen was looking for Lu Qiang and thought that the idea of killing Huan Xi was Lu Qiang, so he simply announced the rebellion again and returned to Qin at the expense of the whole Liangzhou.

Lu Qiang, who has been at the foot of Chengdu, and Yao Xing, who is far away in Chang'an, got the news almost at the same time.

Let's not talk about Lu Qiang's reaction, but Yao Xing was very scared. His brother is still detained in Jiangling, and Wuguan has been forcibly destroyed by Lu. If he dares to accept the territory of the Jin Dynasty again, don't he want to kill his brother? And even if he doesn't care about his brother's life and death, once he admits Liangzhou's rebellion, he is afraid that he will have a feud with Lu Qiang from now on, so that there will be endless wars.

Therefore, Yao Xing immediately sent a letter to Lu Qiang. He was extremely disgusted with this kind of treason, expressed his resolute condemnation, and asked Lu Qiang to reassure him that the State of Qin would never condone this behavior or have any relationship with them.

Lu Qiang was also surprised to receive the news. Originally, he wanted to use Huan Zhen, but he didn't expect this guy to have a good physique and such a poor IQ. Fortunately, he was not useful, otherwise he might have happened in the future.

Whether it is Huan Xuan or Bian Fanzhi, it is also very good to be killed by others, but the behavior of those generals in Hanzhong must not be allowed.

At present, He Wuji was ordered to lead 20,000 people from the headquarters to Hanzhong to quell the rebellion in Liangzhou as soon as possible.

At this time, the rebellion that took place in Chengdu had long ended. Because of the timely awakening of Gao Zong, the incident ended with the killing of Gao Hong.

The evil fire in his heart was on the generals who participated in the rebellion. As a result, more than 10,000 people were involved and killed. It was really a river of blood, especially it was raining that night. The rain was mixed with blood and floated in the city, and the bloodiness did not subside for days.

After all, the powerful army on the road slowed down and did not arrive at the time of the rebellion in the city. However, the army besieged the city and broke the city only overnight. At this time, the barbarians finally rushed through the water and joined the powerful army on the road at the foot of Chengdu.

Through this recruitment, Lu Qiang saw the essence of the barbarians. When these barbarians fought a good fight or let them plunder casually, they probably have fought early. Now they have been recruited by themselves, and there is nothing to say, so they don't work hard.

National issues have always been one of the most headaches for those in power, so even if these barbarians come to fill them up, Lu Qiang has to take them seriously.

However, this time Lu Qiang is a little wrong to blame Moto. Although the barbarian king has a high position among the barbarians, there are too many heads in Shuzhong. In addition, Nai Ji has just died, and Lu Qiang's time to send troops to Shu is too urgent, so Mot has not had much time to integrate the tribes, and this phenomenon of failure has appeared.

In order to be afraid of Lu Qiang's fault, Motuo rushed to Chengdu and immediately came to plead Lu Qiang for his guilt.

Mot was really ashamed. He led 100,000 barbarians, but no one had more than 70,000 horses. In addition, when he took down those two strong cities, he only sent 20,000 horses.

Shu land is about to be pacified, and there are still a large number of barbarians living in the mountains of Shu, and they still need Motto to help control these people. Therefore, after Moto arrived, Lu Qiang did not show any speed, but did not deliberately entertain him.

People like this can't be too spoiled.

"Hehe! Motou, this time I will arrive earlier than you."

Motuo said with a ashamed face and said, "Your excellency, please forgive me. The time for these bastards to get together is too short. This will never happen next time. When will adults start attacking the city? The villain is willing to take the lead."

Since the war, there has been no suspense, so Lu Qiang doesn't want too much damage.

He smiled and shook his head and said, "Don't worry, the city has just experienced a fight. Now that the army besieged the city, someone must send out the head of the indulgent people in three days."

"I was just thinking that the barbarians live on the mountain and live too hard. Can the Motou people organize the people to go down the mountain to live?"

After listening to Lu Qiang's words, Mo Tuo couldn't help sighing and said, "It's not that the barbarians don't want to go down the mountain to live, but the foot of the mountain are all the farmland of the Han masters. The barbarians have no place to plant down the mountain. The better ones can also become the petty farmers of the old men. I'm afraid that the worse ones will be sold as slaves, and those Han masters don't Barbarians are regarded as human beings. Under the accumulated resentment, barbarians would rather be savages in the mountains than go down the mountain."

After listening to Motuo's words, Lu Qiang hasn't spoken for a long time. It's not that he doesn't know what Motuo said, but what Motuo said is too one-sided. There are barbarians who are gradually being Chineseized in every city in Shu, and they don't see that they are all slaves.

However, what Mot said is indeed a very serious phenomenon. The barbarians are not protected by the local government, so these rich people do not treat them as human beings.

In this way, they are hostile to each other and have deeper and deeper grievances. In addition, the barbarians of various tribes are greedy for power and refuse to let the people go down the mountain, which is also a major reason for this situation.

If you want the barbarians to go down the mountain, you must first start with the policy of treating the barbarians. You are not allowed to discriminate against and squeeze them, so that they can enjoy the same treatment as the Han people, so that they can gradually go down the mountain. As long as they live a rich life in the city, I believe that no one will I am willing to go up the mountain to be a savage.

In addition, it is the leaders of those tribes. Lu Qiang can attack the rich families of scholars, but he needs some means to attack those leaders.

Thinking of this, a completely different idea came to Lu Qiang's mind.

said: "After pacifing Chengdu, I will issue an order to strictly prohibit discrimination against barbarians. At the same time, I want to give you a formal official position in the imperial court in addition to your barbarian king, responsible for placing and managing the barbarians in Shu."

"Hehe! I will also set up a barbarian palace for you in Jiangling, which is not less than my official residence. You and your family can live there at any time. It's not just you, but also the tribal leaders under you. As long as you are loyal to the court, I will be responsible for building the mansion for them."

Mot doesn't understand what Lu Qiang means. Although he likes Chinese culture very much, he is even more unwilling to lose his power. Shu is mountainous, and he is an official here plus the title of a barbarian king, which is really a veritable local emperor.

However, if there is a mansion in the prosperous place south of the Yangtze River, it seems to be good. He was stunned, but he heard Lu Qiang speak again.

"In view of the performance of the barbarians in this battle, I intend to send some officers to help you train them, so that after the officers leave, these soldiers can help you wipe out other barbarians and put them all under the court"

When Mot heard this, he was first shocked. "What does he want to do if he sends someone to train my tribe? Do you want to share my army?" However, on second thought, I was relieved, because the maintenance of the barbarians did not rely on discipline, but on the relationship between the upper and lower ethnic groups, which was even more useful than the discipline of the Han people.

After thinking about this, Mot quickly agreed and asked Lu Qiang to distribute some weapons, because the weapons of the barbarians were too backward.

Lu Qiang did not hesitate to promise him what he wanted, including weapons, food and armor.

Mutter scratched his ears and cheeks, couldn't help thanking him, and then went out to gather the team, ready to wait for Lu Qiang to send someone to train.

Looking at Mot's back, Lu Qiang couldn't help laughing, but the smile was a little sinister.

Shu is also an inseparable part of the land, which must be managed by Han officials and placed under the absolute control of the imperial court.

The barbarians have not convinced the king for a long time, especially these barbarians. When their strength is strong, they will definitely repeat again, refuse the control of the court, and then directly rebel. There are countless bloody precedents ahead.

The reason why Lu Qiang wants to help Motot train barbarians and further arm them, of course, is not to leave hidden dangers for himself, but that he is ready to take all these barbarians out of Shu.

Excellent treatment, good prospects... Big cakes have already been drawn in Lu Qiang's heart. Of course, Mot is likely not to agree, not possible, it is certain. In that case, he will get a disease that can't be cured by immortals.

Although the 50,000 Jingzhou army and 100,000 barbarians had beensieged in Chengdu, they did not attack the city, but practiced outside the city according to the strong order of the road.

The brother of the Qiao family, who was ready to fight the trapped beasts, couldn't help but be surprised that he didn't wait for the Jingzhou army to attack the city.

What on earth does Lu want to do?
