After the Lijiaba Battle, Dabu fled into the mountains with the remaining Tubo people. Dabu did not dare to return to Zhuoni from the Bailong River, but chose to go north and cross the Western Han River to return to Zhuoni. Dabu and Shi Hu did not expect that in addition to the Black Diao Army and the Jiezhou Infantry Army, hundreds of troops also targeted Dabu and gave Dabu a heavy blow to the Western Han River.

The leaders of these hundreds of men were Zhou generals Hu Li and Duan Wuwei. Why did Hu Li and Duan Wuwei attack the Tubo people led by Dabu in the Western Han Dynasty? This starts with the Battle of Fengzhou.

In July, after Yi Shenzheng successfully seized the position of commander of the Shu army, in order to report good news to the Shu lord Meng Chang, he asked someone to take the captured Zhou army general Hu Li and dozens of prisoners back to Chengdu Prefecture.

After Hu Li, the commander of the formation, came to Fengzhou, he was extremely unlucky. The famous general of the guards was captured alive by the Shu army, which was discouraging to think of it. After being dissuaded by his subordinates for the first time, Hu Li never had the idea of ​​committing suicide again. He kept looking for opportunities to escape. Hu Li was the commander of the Zhou army, and of course he received special care. The Shu army specially brought him a wooden shackle weighing more than 30 pounds, while the other Zhou soldiers were just tied up and strung together.

The escort team was not moving fast. They set out from northeast Fengzhou and walked for a day before entering Chengzhou. When they arrived at Wangxiang Mountain in Chengzhou, it was almost noon. Everyone was tired, hot and thirsty, and came to rest under the shade of trees. The Shu army captured by the Zhou army were all infantry soldiers, and only the military academy led the team rode a thin old horse.

The Shu army sent two soldiers to follow Hu Li and guard him closely. Hu Li has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and is strong, but he has a lot of wooden shackles on his body. He walked under the scorching sun for a morning and was exhausted. While Wangxiang was resting, the Shu army military academy got off his horse and sat under the tree to drink water. The old horse was not tied up and was resting under the tree.

Seeing the opportunity, Hu Li said to the Shu soldiers beside him: "I want to pee."

The Shu soldiers cursed: "You are the one who is born in Banban, but you have a lot of things to do."

After Hu Li stood up, he said, "I'll go there to pee. It smells so smelly here, don't smoke everyone."

Another Shu soldier lying on the ground slanted his eyes and said, "I have to lie down for a while, don't pee here."

Hu Li was in front and Shu soldiers were behind, and the two walked out of the shade of the tree. When they approached Lao Ma, Hu Li suddenly turned around and pushed the Shu soldiers behind him with his knees. The Shu soldiers caught off guard and screamed in pain, then fell to the ground. Hu Li rushed towards Lao Ma, trying to jump onto the war horse, but his hands were shackled and could not catch the reins of the horse. After the old Ma was frightened, he jumped forward, causing Hu Li's attempt to completely fail.

The other Shu army reacted, rushed up and pressed Hu Li to the ground and beat him up. The Shu army academy picked up a wooden stick, separated the Shu army, and shouted angrily: "Damn it, you ran away, I'm going to move, I'm polite to you, you're going to go to heaven, today I'll give you a taste of the magic."

The Shu soldiers pressed Hu Li to the ground. The Shu Army Military Academy raised a stick and hit Hu Li's butt hard. As soon as he hit three sticks, the wooden stick sounded "click" and broke. The Shu Army Military Academy still felt that it was not breathing. He took a long spear, used the gun as a stick, raised it high, and prepared to beat Hu Li hard.

At this moment, an iron arrow shot towards him, and in the chest of the Shu Military Academy, the long spear held by the Shu Military Academy did not hit him and fell to the ground weakly. The Shu Military Academy looked down at the iron arrow on his chest and cursed: "Damn it." After scolding, he fell backwards.

The Shu soldiers stared at the sudden change in a daze. Before they could react, countless strange-clad Zhou troops suddenly rushed from all around. The Shu army responsible for escorting the prisoners faced the fierce Zhou army and put down their weapons after a little resistance.

The leader of the Zhou army who rescued Hu Li was Duan Wuwei. After the Zhou army's ration depot was attacked by Zhao Wu, Duan Wuwei was lucky enough to jump out of the village wall and rushed out of the siege of the Shu army. Duan Wuwei knew that food was the treasure of the commander Wang Jing. If he lost the grain depot, he would die when he returned. Duan Wuwei dared not return to the camp and hid in the mountains. Along the way, he met several soldiers who escaped from the village, and Duan Wuwei took them around the mountains.

Wang Jing was extremely strict in his army. In the past, fleeing soldiers returned to the camp. The light was whipped and the worst was executed. The boundary between light was extremely blurred, and it was entirely vague. Therefore, a large number of soldiers from the Wang Jing border were dispersed and did not dare to return to the camp. Three or five people were scattered in the mountains and engaged in indigenous bandits. These people continued to join Duan Wuwei's team. Even some soldiers of the Shu army joined Duan Wuwei's team.

Duan Wuwei quickly gathered more than 300 famous people and horses. With the strength of the troops, Duan Wuwei ate the real bandits in Heiyun Village and took Heiyun Village as the base to become the mountain king.

Feng Cheng and the three states are poor, and the people do not have much oil and water. Duan Wuwei's 300 people consume a lot of money every day. Therefore, Duan Wuwei, the mountain king, lived a tight life and was not as refreshing as he imagined to be eating a big bowl of meat and drinking. Duan Wuwei was embarrassed, so he naturally would not let go of the sparrows flying by his side. He often attacked the grain transport team with his men and horses, whether from the Zhou army or the Shu army, he would steal them all.

Duan Wuwei got the news when the Shu army escorted Hu Li into Chengzhou. Duan Wuwei was now plucking his hair. Based on the speed of the Shu army escort team, he judged that the Shu army would rest in the woods in Wangxiang Mountain. So he led people to ambush around, looted the Shu army squad, and rescued Hu Li by the way.

After Hu Li was rescued, he felt that he had no face to see the guards and became the King of Mountains with Duan Wuwei.

After the Fengzhou War, there was no transportation team to rob, and life was even harder for the cottage. Hu Li and Duan Wuwei both had families and were busy robbery during the day. Whenever night came, they always recalled the beautiful past in their own homes. They knew in their hearts that being the mountain king was by no means a long-term solution. Qin, Feng, and all over the place kept reporting news of being robbed by bandits. Everyone knew that these bandits were actually broken soldiers. Wang Jing sent border soldiers to clear them everywhere, and Hou Dayong issued a notice to recruit Zhou and Shu soldiers to defeat them.

Hu Li and Duan Wuwei received the notice, both of them were moved. Duan Wuwei said: "In the past, we listened to books in teahouses, and they all said that being the king of the mountain is happy. But I was the king of the mountain, and I was worried about filling my stomach every day. I didn't live a good life, and the storyteller deceived me for twenty-seven years."

Hu Li said: "When this notice comes out, the soldiers under his command will definitely be moved. Now there are more than twenty people running away secretly. If this continues, we will become the king of mountain. Alas, being the king of mountain is not a long-term solution after all, so let's just go to Hou Dayong."

To be cautious, the two sent one person to Fengzhou to throw a stone to ask for directions. Hou Dayong heard that Hu Li and Duan Wuwei gathered more than 300 Zhou troops and wrote a letter expressing their warm welcome to the two and promised to restore the two generals to their posts.

After receiving the reply, Hu Li and Duan Wuwei were naturally extremely happy. Hu Li suggested: "During this period, a group of Tubo people have flowed into Jiezhou. We will find an opportunity to kill some Tubo people, so we can also serve as a meeting gift to join Hou Dayong." Duan Wuwei thought that he wanted to restore his post, and it would be not good without the meeting gift, so he agreed to ambush the Tubo people.

Hu Li and Duan Wuwei have been the King of Mountains for a while. If the King of Mountains wants to have enough food, they have to rob. The robbery is simple, but it is actually a job with high technical content. If you don’t have a sensitive sense of smell, how can you grab enough food in the bitter and cold places like Sanzhou? Therefore, although the spies in Heiyun Village have not been long, their professional abilities have been rapidly improved.

They soon found the traces of this group of Tubo people. When the Tubo people entered Jiezhou, there were more than 600 people, Hu Li and Duan Wuwei had only more than 300 people, so naturally they did not dare to provoke them. Seeing that the 600 Tubo people defeated the 2,000 infantry troops in Jiezhou, they did not dare to act rashly. After the Lijiaba Battle, there were less than 200 Tubo people left. Hu Li and Duan Wuwei saw that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, so they brought all the men and horses of the mountain village and followed the group of Tubo people.

After Lijiaba was defeated, Dabu was afraid of being ambushed again and did not dare to return to Zhuoni from the Bailong River. After the whole army cried bitterly, he went the other way, kept walking northward, crossed several mountains, and arrived at the bank of the Western Han Dynasty. Since entering Jiezhou, he has been fighting and running continuously, and the Tubo people are tired and in a dark mood. Dabu saw that everyone was so tired that he was extremely depressed that he stopped and rested.

In order to escape, the Tubo people marched desperately, and the mountain kings who followed behind were exhausted. However, during this period, the mountain kings had been robbing in the mountains every day and had good physical strength, but they were finally not dumped by Tubo.

In the middle of the night, Hu Li and Duan Wuwei led people to attack the Tubo camp quietly. In the grass about 300 meters away from the camp, a Tubo sentry was found. The Tubo sentry tilted his head and was sleeping soundly.

After killing the sentinels, Hu Li and Duan Wuwei slowly approached the Tubo camp. A shrill horn waking up the sleeping Tubo people one hundred meters away. Before stationing in the camp, Dabu still arranged several posts according to his old habits. After the first post was killed, the second post found the enemy attacking the camp and called the police at the extreme.

At this time, Hu Li and Duan Wuwei took their men and horses to sprint for a hundred meters and quickly rushed to the Tubo people's tent. Because it was a temporary camp, the Tubo people basically did not do fortifications, so they asked Hu Li and Duan Wuwei to drive in with their men and horses. The Tubo people jumped up from their sleep, rushed out of the tent, and met the Zhou army.

The Zhou army came prepared, with a strong morale, and the number of people was almost twice that of the Tubo people. Soon, the Zhou army gained the upper hand in the melee.

Dabu was following more than 30 Tubo soldiers and stood in a circle. Although there were many Zhou soldiers, they could not break the circle. Seeing that the Tubo people were divided and surrounded, Dabu asked the order soldiers around him to blew the order and summoned the scattered Tubo people to move closer to Dabu. After the Tubo people heard the order, they fought desperately to break through the direction where Dabu was.

When Hu Li killed several Tubo people one after another, a Tubo man rushed towards him. Hu Li slashed at the Tubo man who was rushing towards him. The Tubo man held a round shield in his right hand to block Hu Li's slash. He kept holding a knife in his left hand and stabbed Hu Li straight. The Tubo man was very fast and used a knife in his left hand. Hu Li was forced to retreat. Unexpectedly, a seriously injured Tubo man suddenly hugged his calves. Hu Li had no choice but to lean back and fell backwards.

Duan Wuwei was next to Hu Li. Seeing that Hu Li was in danger, he raised his sword to slash at the neck of the Tubo people. The Tubo man had to put his sword away and first set up Duan Wuwei's attack. Hu Li took the opportunity to kill the Tubo people holding his calf with a knife. After Hu Li stood up, he and Duan Wuwei attacked the Tubo man.

The Tubo man was Dabu's friend Drepung. He fought against two people and gradually lost his support when he faced the fierce and fierce attacks of the two, but he still held his position. When the fight was tight, Drepung suddenly felt a pain behind him. A Zhou army held a spear and took advantage of Drepung's inadvertently to stab Drepung's back from behind. The stab went straight to the internal organs. Drepung's eyes were so dark that Hu Li slashed Drepung's chest with a knife.

After Dabu led more than 50 Tubo people to break north, the battle of the Western Han River ended. Hu Li and Duan Wuwei led the Zhou army to kill more than 100 Tubo people, but more than half of them were injured and killed. Hu Li and Duan Wuwei ordered the heads of the fallen Tubo people and took the remaining Zhou army to Fengzhou to join Hou Dayong.

The Tubo people in the Hunmo tribe did not understand the basic situation of Jiezhou, Chengzhou and Fengzhou. When Dabu was defeated in the Western Han River, he believed that the three states were still garrisoned by the Shu army. Dabu led his army to rashly break into Jiezhou, and paid a heavy price for this. After Dabu returned to Zhuoni with more than 50 people, the strength of the Hunmo tribe was greatly damaged. He was squeezed by the local Tubo people in Zhuoni and was forced to move to the Bailongjiang Mountains between Zhuoni and Ruoergai, and hid in the mountains to recuperate.

When Dabu returned to the tribe, the Tubo people who were released from Fengzhou arrived at Zhuoni first. When the tribe heard the news of the Tubo people's defeat in Jiezhou, the whole clan was shocked and panicked all day long. Because in February, they were defeated by the Dangxiang people first and then by the Zhou army. The Tubo people in Hunmo no longer had the strength to gain a foothold in Zhuoni, and the tribe's elderly were all ready to accept the conditions proposed by Hou Dayong. After Dabu returned to the tribe, under pressure and reality, he had to accept the conditions proposed by Hou Dayong and approve Hou Dayong to the chance to survive in Zhuoni.

Hou Dayong is in a good mood recently. He repelled the attacks of the Tubo people, achieved a good start after taking office, and basically solved the border troubles. Therefore, according to the old habits formed in Zhengzhou, Hou Dayong took his personal guards to travel around the country every day to understand the basic situation of the three states.

Fengzhou is an important border town, and the people live a hard life. Although Hou Dayong was mentally prepared for this, he was still deeply shocked when he saw the shocking poverty of the people with his own eyes.

"I had known that I would go back to ancient times, so I would bring some corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes that are common in modern society. If these coarse grains from modern society could be planted here, I wonder how many people could be saved." Hou Dayong could not think of any quick way to solve the food and clothing of local people. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but think of the coarse grains he had eaten in modern society. In Hou Dayong's vague memory, corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes were probably introduced to China in the Ming Dynasty, because corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes are high in production and easy to plant. After being introduced to China, it became staple food in many remote areas. In the years of famine, it was unknown how many lives were saved. China's population expanded rapidly, and corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes made an indelible contribution.

The people of Fengzhou were poor, and the Fengzhou government was so poor that it was so poor. After Hou Dayong came to ancient times, he first picked up a peach in Cangzhou and obtained Liu San's property. Later, he founded a wealthy shop. Because of his technical advantages, he quickly made a fortune. Hou Dayong hadn't tasted the slimness for a long time, but after visiting several officials' homes, Hou Dayong was also shaking his head at the officials' family situation.

It will take some time to improve the living standards of ordinary people, but it is much simpler to improve the living standards of officials. After Hou Dayong became the governor, he also made a three-pronged approach. The first approach was to let officials of the three states enjoy national treatment, which was the same as those of the Black Eagle Army officers. The officials of the three states of Feng, Cheng and Xing of the three states of Feng, Cheng and Xing of this measure of the move, but Qian Xiangnan, who had been promoted to the judge of the observation, complained deeply. Although Qian Xiangnan's surname was Qian, after paying his salary, the warehouse in charge of Qian Xiangnan was too empty to lock the door.

Hou Dayong was working hard on Qian Xiangnan's ideological work, "As the saying goes, if you want a horse to run, you have to let the horse eat grass. Look at the officials of the three states, they are not as dressed as those servants in Zhengzhou Prefecture. This is too unethical."

Qian Xiangnan sighed: "The mood of the governor is understandable, but now there is no money left in the warehouse, so the subordinates really don't know what to do."

Hou Dayong said: "The key to increasing revenue and reducing expenditure is to increase revenue, and then to reduce expenditure. We must use our brains to find ways to increase the government's income."

Qian Xiangnan shook his head and said, "Feng, Cheng, the three states are not as good as Zhengzhou. There are many wealthy people in Zhengzhou, but the people here are so poor. According to legend, some families on the mountains are hungry and do not cover their bodies. The whole family only has one piece of clothing. Whoever wants to go out will wear clothes."

Hou Dayong thought of the poor mountain people in Sanzhou and said, "Oh, the mountains here are high and the soil is thin, and wars are constantly coming. It's really hard for the people to live. I also want to reduce some taxes to let the people recuperate."

Qian Xiangnan was frightened when he heard this and said, "No, the salary of the three states' governments depends entirely on this tax. If it is reduced, everyone can only drink the northwest wind."

Hou Dayong laughed a few times and said, "In the past few days, in addition to traveling around, I am thinking about one thing. The places where the Tubo people are located are taller and colder than the three states, and their products are more barren. You say, are the Tubo people so poor that they have no clothes? No, I think the Tubo people are dressed well, and the Tubo people have a way to live well. I think people in the three states should not be there. The key is to change their ideas."
