Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Fu Xie held the bamboo slips and looked at Liu Ye with a grim expression: "Yuqing, the Qiang people of Chengji gathered to cause chaos and refused to pay for the grain."

Liu Ye snorted coldly: "Cheng Ji is the northern gateway of Tianshui. If the Qiangs are allowed to make chaos and link up with Beigong Boyu and Bian Zhang's rebels, it will be a disaster."

Liu Ye thought for a while and made a decisive decision.

"Nan Rong, I will leave you with a thousand pawns and a thousand pawns, let Wen Ze stay to help you, and M may bring three thousand pawns and go to quell the rebellion."

Fu Xie nodded, and the two of them were under Huangfu Song's account. He knew Liu Ye's ability very well, knowing that his ability to lead soldiers far exceeded himself.

"Yuqing, everything is careful here, but Chengji Qiang people mostly burned as Qiang, which is not the same way as the zero Qiang before the rebellion."

Liu Ye nodded: "Some knows."

The number of horses in the county guard’s mansion rushed out, the military order was passed on, and the departments at all levels were functioning in an orderly manner. Yu Jin led two thousand paces to station in the city of Jixian. It is to arrange food and grass for Liu Ye's department.

When Liu Ye led his army 20 miles away from Ji County, he sent out sentries to notify county officials, so officials from Chengji County had already gone out to greet them.

A civil official with seven or eight entourage greeted him from a distance, and respectfully said: "The next official becomes the county guard, see the county guard."

Liu Ye nodded and said without anger, "Shou Wangxian went to prepare three-thousand-person three-day rations and grass. By the way, he had a detailed discussion with the county guard about what was going on."

"Yes, the county guard, please."

Zhang Jai led the army to station outside the city, only Guan Hai led more than a hundred soldiers to follow Liu Ye into the city, while Liu Ye and Wang Jia walked and talked.

"Wang County Order, where are these Qiang people?"

"From then on, thirty miles northwest, there was a valley in which the Qiang people established a walled city tribe."

Liu Ye had a conversation with Wang Kuo, and he probably understood the situation. This Qiang is a group of Shao Dang Qiang. The leader is Yao Lingkun. The tribe has a population of about 4,000, and there are more than 1,000 people who control strings.

Wang Lao respectfully said: "The next official prepared a banquet for the county guard to receive the dust, and the county guard is invited to enter."

Liu Ye did not answer, but said, "How are the food preparations?"

"Everything is ready, otherwise the county guard..."

"No need. Rescuing soldiers is like fighting fire. The sooner the Qiang rebellion is resolved, the better, so this will send troops."

Liu Ye resolutely went straight out of the city, and the red cloak behind him opened with the wind and strode out of the city.

Wang Lao looked at his back and sighed: "With such a county guard, Tianshui has no worries."

...

"My lord, my lord!"

A rush of footsteps came, Yao Lingkun frowned, and the soldiers under the tent rushed in.

"What is it?" Yao Lingkun snorted.

Wearing a leather jacket, the Qiang warrior with a felt hat looked hurriedly: "My lord! A Han army is coming outside."

Yao Lingkun stood up with a grim expression: "What? The Han army is here, how many people are there?"

"There are thousands of people, and everyone is panicking, so please ask the adults to go out and have a look."

Yao Lingkun looked angrily: "Damn Han! We paid 15 taxes and 1 per mu for our own people, but ours is 10 acres of tax, and now we are sending troops over."

After all, Yao Lingkun strode out, walked out of the hall, and walked over the wall of the wall.

Hundreds of Qiang people have long been clustered on the wall of the village, and they cheered in unison when Yao Lingkun came over.

"My lord is here."

The term "adult" is often used in TV dramas by lower-level officials to address superiors. In fact, the term "adult" was first used to address leaders in ethnic minorities, similar to "Shanyu" in the Huns.

Yao Lingkun walked up the wall of the wall, and was taken aback. I saw that outside the walled city, there were three Han army formations, each with about a thousand people, two cavalry formations and one infantry formation.

A thousand foot soldiers were standing still in the formation, surrounded by a Liu-shaped flag, while two thousand Han riders galloped back and forth, their tails and horse hooves lifted countless dust, and the sound of horse hooves rumbling loudly.

Yao Lingkun clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Take my bow and arrows!"

Hearing this, a Qiang attendant took a few steps forward, holding a horn bow in his hand, Yao Lingkun stretched out his hand to take it, and the Qiang attendant handed over the quiver again.

Yao Lingkun drew his bow and set an arrow, his sharp eyes carefully searched for the target, and the sharp arrow suddenly stopped.

"This guy in the red robe is the general of the Han people, right?"

What Yao Lingkun was staring at was not someone else, who happened to be wearing a red robe in favor of Liu Ye in front of the battle. He squeezed a bow and set an arrow, aiming at Liu Ye's throat, and deliberately wanted to give the Han army a chance.

Whoosh!

collapse!

The bowstring rang vigorously, and a carved feather arrow flew from under the wall.

"Yep?"

Liu Ye's spear suddenly swung away, just to knock out the carved feather arrow aside.

"drive!"

Liu Ye rode out and rode under the wall alone, looking up at the group of Qiang people above the wall.

"I am the emperor appointing Tianshui county guard, who is Yao Lingkun, come out to answer."

Yao Lingkun put away his bow and arrow and shouted, "I am Yao Lingkun. Are you the new county guard?"

Liu Ye replied: "Exactly, the county guard deliberately changed the tax to 15 tax one. Why did you refuse to pay?"

Yao Lingkun was furious when he heard this: "You wait for the Han officials, and naturally protect the Han people. The Han people are all 15 taxes and one tax. Why do I still pay 10 yuan for the tax?"

In the Han dynasty, the taxation was very light. Basically, it was either 15 tax or 30 tax. It followed the rule of Emperor Wenjing and Huang Lao Wuwei. However, to the second Emperor Huanling, in order to cater to personal pleasure, the tax was increased to acres. Tax ten dollars.

Liu Ye was taken aback when he heard this, and he thought about it in his mind: I clearly ordered that the ten per mu tax was changed to the 15 tax per mu in Tianshui. Why this Yao Lingkun said it was ten per mu tax, and his tone was different. It seems that there is something hidden in it. .

Yao Lingkun snorted coldly: "The county guard, the clerk sent by the county to collect taxes was imprisoned by me. Is it ten per mu tax or fifteen tax one? If the county guard has the courage to get in, just ask."

Zhang-jaw and the horse rushed up, rushed behind Liu Ye, and whispered: "The county guard is the chief of the county. If this Qiang man has any conspiracy and tricks, I'll be a rat."

Guan Hai even snorted impatiently: "What nonsense is the county guard and this Qiang man? Let's break the walled city, kill the chickens and the monkeys, so as to behave like you and see who dares not pay taxes."

Liu Ye frowned when he heard what Zhang Jaguanhai said. Was this Qiang saying true or false? Do you want to risk yourself...

Liu Ye looked up and saw that hundreds of Qiang people on the wall of the wall were filled with righteous indignation, gritted their teeth, as if they had hatred of killing their fathers and taking their wives with the Han.

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger?"

Zhang jaw frowned: "Guardian, you?"
