Chapter 73

Xu Ping did not sleep well that night, and always felt the sound of fighting outside the tent. Several times, he just closed his eyes and woke up from his sleep. He opened his eyes, but found that it was quiet around him and there was no movement at all.

More than ten years old when he arrived in Yongzhou, Xu Ping's mood has gradually changed. This is not just a difference in age, but more of a change brought by experience. At that time, he did not realize how heavy the burden on his shoulders was, and he dared to fight and rush, without any worries, and it was just an unexpected joy, not that he had done it intentionally.

It's different now. The roadside commander is in charge of military affairs of several states, and tens of thousands of troops under his command. He can decide life and death in one word. Power also brings responsibility. Dangxiang is not Jiaozhi, Jiaozhi is just a disease of tinea scabies, while Dangxiang is a confusing problem. History has shown clearly that this small northwest country eventually brought great disasters to the Central Plains dynasty.

Economic development can bring about the rapid development of military power, but it may not necessarily bring about the rapid development of military power. In history, many economically prosperous forces were destroyed by the inconspicuous backward small forces around. Is it because the economy is prosperous and the military will decline? There is no such truth in the world. Most of them are out of the selfish intentions of politicians, either to abolish the Great Wall and force, or to attract wolves into the house for personal ambitions and play with fire.

There is no system in the world that can manage for a thousand years. What Xu Ping can only do is to destroy the threats in front of him and leave a reasonable military system. Even if there are repeated repetitions in the middle, as long as the system is still there, the principles of the system are still there, and the force of the Central Plains dynasty is still there.

While Xu Ping was tossing and turning, Tan Hu suddenly sang a promise outside loudly.

Xu Ping sat up and asked, "It's already late at night, what's the urgent matter?"

Tan Hu said loudly: "Report to the commander-in-law, except for the nearby foreigners, there are still people in the camp who can't go, and it seems that they have some plans. Finally, they will capture him!"

After hearing this, Xu Ping suddenly sat up. This time he was calculating and unintentional to Yu Zang Huama. If he was alert, it would be difficult to deal with it. If he came here, it would be a spy from Yu Zang Huama, whether he had heard useful information or not, it would be a big trouble. His sending people meant that he was vigilant against Qinzhou, which was not the style of the foreign troops fighting.

Putting on his clothes, Xu Ping said in it: "Take the person in front of my tent and call Wang Kai and Li Zhang!"

Tan Hu Yingnuo and turned around.

Xu Ping cleaned up and arrived at the front tent. He saw a man in his thirties being escorted by his own soldiers. The man looked like a typical Qian Qiang dress and was covered in frost. He was a herder who was grazing cattle and sheep. He was curiously looking at Xu Ping.

Sitting down in the coaching position, Xu Ping didn't say anything, just looked at the man and slowly sorted out his thoughts.

After a moment, Tan Hu brought Wang Kai and Li Zhang into the tent and saluted Xu Ping with his hands crossed.

Let Wang Kai and Li Zhang separate on both sides, Xu Ping said in a deep voice: "Have Tan Hu told you two?"

The two crossed their hands together: "I have already said it!"

Xu Ping nodded, looked at the man in front of him and asked in a deep voice: "To be honest, who is the person? Where did you come from? Why did you come here? Why do you come to see my handsome tent late at night? If there is a false statement, military sticks will serve you!"

The man raised his head and looked at Xu Ping, not talking for a long time. It was not until Xu Ping was a little impatient and said, "Looking at your young age, is it really the Bians General sent by the imperial court to Qinzhou?"

Tan Hu shouted sternly: "Jie Shuai asked you, answer honestly! Don't ask questions and answers, do whatever you want!"

Xu Ping raised his hand to signal Tan Hu and said to the man: "I am Qin Feng's handsome guy all the way, answer me!"

The man was thrown on the ground by Tan Hu and lay there. After hearing this, he suddenly kept kneeling and bowed to Xu Ping, "Go back to the Grand Marshal, the little Zhang Gouer is a member of the Zhang family of the Kangu Fanmen. A few days ago, the foreign chief Yu Zanghuama of Xishicheng City passed on arrows and established a grammar, and offered the surrounding foreign tribes to go south to invade Qinzhou. Our Zhang family is at the end of Hexi. How could he follow these foreign Qiangs to betray the court? The clan heard that the Grand Marshal was in Qinzhou for a year and was prosperous. Let the small subdirectors come to Qinzhou to report the news that the foreign tribe is about to invade. Be prepared early and don't be caught off guard by these foreign tribes! The young man was originally in Qinzhou, but who would have thought that the general was out of the city and hunted for autumn, and was not in the city. The military situation was urgent, and the young man dared not delay, so he asked all the way to find this place."

After hearing Zhang Gou'er's words, Xu Ping's face slowly relaxed. Kangu, as one of the six valleys in Hexi, was mainly the last tribe. There were indeed Han tribes such as the Zhang family, Xing family, Lai family and other Han tribes in the last tribe of Kangu. After Dangxiang occupied Lanzhou, some of them crossed Maxian Mountain to the north of Didao, which was the tribes that accepted the blind felt, and some of them remained near Lanzhou. These tribes were intertwined with the power of the Yuzang tribe, and Yuzang Huama could not hide the rebellion from them.

Xu Ping had his own source of information, and the news brought by Zhang Gou'er was not very useful. However, Xu Ping still asked Zhang Gou'er to stand up and talk, and asked Tan Hu to send someone to get him a cup of tea to suppress his shock.

Although the last tribes were mainly descended by the Han people, they have always been regarded as one of the foreign tribes. The Han people who became transcendent, the court no longer regarded them as Han people, and they were not under their own rule. Xu Ping would not naively think that they were Han people, so he would like to the court. The Han people turned them into Hu'er words, but cursed the Han people at the city wall. It was very common in the northwest area.

Xu Ping's trust in the Hexi Fan tribe, whether it was the last people or the Tubo tribes, was mainly because they had deep hatred with Dangxiang. Originally, the tribes in the Liugu tribes in Hexi were mostly non-moon tribes. When the Tubo tribes and Dangxiang Qiang joined forces, the situation in which people had the upper class was dominated by the late people. Later, the leader was mainly the Tubo tribes led by Pan Luozhi. When Dangxiang developed westward, Yuan Hao won over the Dangxiang Qiang in the Liugu tribes in Hexi. These Dangxiang Qiang set up an ambush to lure the leader Pan Luozhi. The Liugu tribes in Hexi were dispersed, and Dangxiang occupied Xiliang and Lanzhou. With these grievances, the Tubo tribes and the last people in Hexi had a deep hatred with Dangxiang. It was them who went south to Hehuang that made Yuanhao unable to annex this area for a long time.

After Zhang Gou'er had a tea, Xu Ping asked about Yu Zanghua and Mali's gathering in the foreign tribes.

Zhang Gou'er said: "Our Zhang family is now divided into many settlements. There are not many tribes in my tribe. Yu Zang Huama just sent someone to pass arrows and did not take it seriously. Now the news of Yu Zang Huama blocking is very tight. The younger ones don't know much, but they only know that they will invade Qinzhou in autumn and winter this year."

Xu Ping nodded: "This news is enough. You can rest in Qinzhou. I will arrange to fight Yu Zang Huama, so don't worry. Tan Hu, arrange for Zhang Gou'er to follow you first, and then hand it over to the Zong Tongzong to settle down!"

Tan Hu promised, but Zhang Gou'er said, "How can this be made? Grand Marshal, since I have sent the news, I should hurry back to the clan and inform the people in the clan that they know. When the Yuzang tribe sends troops, our clan can cover up the killing from behind and help the court defeat the enemy!"

Xu Ping waved his hand and said with a gentle voice: "Marching and fighting is naturally the business of the court, and you don't need to work. Your last tribe was originally a Han Chinese, but he was in Longyou and had to join the Fan Qiang. It's a shame for the court. Now that the bandits of Xiang Hao are rebelling, the court wants to manage Longyou. You just stick to the headquarters and wait for the court's troops. When you return to the Central Plains, you will speak Chinese again, learn Chinese customs, and recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, and you will still be a good citizen under the court."

After hearing this, Zhang Gou'er threw herself on the ground and knelt on the ground and bowed to Xu Ping: "The young people are looking forward to it day and night, just thinking that one day they can return to the Central Plains and become Han people. The young people's ancestors are also good people in the court, and they are not plundered by Tubo, and they are practicing the customs of the British and speak the French, just to survive. If they can return to the Central Plains, who would like to do this? Now they look like this, they really humiliate their ancestors!"

"It's almost done. As long as you endure it for a few more days, the army heads north to Lanzhou, and you can naturally return to the Central Plains."

Xu Ping said, signaling Tan Hu to take Zhang Gou'er out and settle him for a long time.

When Tan Hu and Zhang Gou went out, Li Zhang said, "Jie Shuai, the news brought by Zhang Gou'er is of little use, and you don't need to be too kind to him. The Qian Qiang has no shame, beware of his gains and long-awaiting Shu."

Xu Ping said: "When we manage the Hehuang area, we always have to have some of our own people, and we can't kill all the foreign tribes. Not to mention whether we can do it, killing too much can harm the peace of mind, which is not a way to maintain long-term stability. In war, we must make more people on our own side and fewer people on the enemy side. So we must remember that our enemy is Dangxiang, and anyone who is willing to help us fight Dangxiang is his own people. If Dangxiang helps us fight, it is the enemy. Although the news brought by Zhang Gou'er is not worth mentioning, he took the risk to come to Qinzhou to report the news, which means that Dangxiang is regarded as an enemy and ours, and it is ours to give him favors. Furthermore, if we destroy the Yu Zanghua Ma tribe, we should use these local tribes to stabilize the place."

Wang Kai said: "Since the general Jie wants to use these tribes, why not send Zhang Gou'er back? Although their foreign tribes are small, if they can unite and take advantage of Yu Zanghuama to send troops, the rear will be empty, which will cause some chaos."

Xu Ping looked at Wang Kai and Li Zhang and was silent for a while and said, "To be honest, I dare not believe it. Zhang Gou'er is from the Zhang family, and is here to report the message to us. If he was sent by Yu Zanghuama, if he was a person sent by Yu Zanghuama, he would make a lot of trouble when he was put back. Therefore, people should stay in Qinzhou, and when the war was over, they would naturally know whether it was true or false when they arrived in Xishicheng. Another thing is that we are fighting against Dangxiang this time. These foreign troops who are willing to surrender to the court will report it. Try not to use them to fight. Originally, we defeated Dangxiang people to save them from water and fire and let them help in the battle, and the taste will change. No matter how many gifts they are given at that time, they will think it is natural and not conducive to future governance."
