As mentioned earlier, breaking the pass is just the beginning. Siege is also the second.

How to take millions of Qiang people in Xiliang into his own use is the biggest test for King Ji.

Xi Zhicai was in Hongchiling, Li Ru and Zang Ba led the Bingzhou wolf cavalry and arrived first. He took over the old subordinates of Bian Zhang and took over the Jincheng Pass on the north bank and the Jincheng on the south bank. Subsequent coalition forces rushed forward continuously, taking over the mountain villages and garrison camps.

The five schools of the Shogunate, and the troops were divided into different directions, taking Hanyang, Longxi and Wudu counties. Most of them were restored to Xiliang.

After receiving the order of Han Sui, the temporary commander of the Qiang school, all the thirty-six Qiang cavalry returned to the mountain village. Ten thousand rebels disappeared in an instant. On the surface, Guanxi had been pacified. However, everyone knew that this was just an appearance. As long as someone needed a lot of money to lure them, the thirty-six Qiang cavalry raised their troops and rebelled again in an instant.

This way of treating symptoms but not root causes is obviously not the original intention of King Ji.

The partial general Ma Teng and the governor of Guardian Prefecture Song Xiao traveled westward. He entered the city of Ji County. In the 17th year of Yongping of Emperor Ming, Tianshui County was changed to Hanyang County and Ji County was the county seat.

The bandits were powerful and all counties were lost. Only Ji County was able to protect them. The defending general was Jiang, who was a local clan. When the thieves were in chaos, the villagers nearby helped the elderly and children and fled into the city. The top and the bottom were united and hated the enemy. The bandits had no weapons to attack the city and siege first. Later, they built Jincheng and many other passes such as the Great Earthquake, and worked hard, so they did not attack the city with all their strength. Only then did Ji County survive.

It is said that in the Xiliang area, the Qiang people rebelled again. The Han people who were spared had their own way of survival. The towns and towns were surrounded by walls. The powerful built forts. Most of the young and strong people in the clan had their own troops, and they stored bows, crossbows and arrows. When Qiang cavalry attacked, they raised a suspension bridge and guarded the danger. The Qiang people came and went like the wind, and they often plundered, and they could not do anything when they saw things, and most of them would retreat when they saw difficulties.

If you still attack with force, you will definitely have blood feud.

For example, Quyi, Xiping, led a thousand people from the clan to join the army. You can know what the size of the local big surname is. Putting yourself in the position, it is surrounded by Qiang, Di, and Hu. Han people should join in groups to keep warm. It is also a common practice to marry a big family and seek shelter. After several generations, the local big surnames continued to grow like snowballs. They were called "Haoyou".

"Haoyou, everyone."

The Jiang family in Ji County is also like the Qu family in Xiping.

Just say that it is Haoyou, there will inevitably be thousands of hectares of fertile land, cattle and sheep everywhere, and more than ten thousand slaves. In the Xiliang area, the Han people withered. The rest of them will all avoid the Haoyouwu Fort.

Take your time.

Let’s talk about pacifying the Qiang and Hu first.

The officials of Liangzhou were also trained. After hearing that the new governor of Liangzhou was in office, the bandits were dispersed. The officials of Liangzhou who had not known where they had been hidden appeared one after another and rein charge of the administration of officials and govern the government and the people.

It is rare to have strong ability to survive in public and private affairs.

The so-called law does not punish the masses. Take your time in the administration of Liangzhou.

Seeing that Song Xiao was in trouble and no one was available, Liu Bei sent Tian Feng and Ju Su to assist in government affairs. He was backed by a big tree to enjoy the cool air. On the Longshan Mountain, there was a giant tree named Ji King to shelter it from the wind and rain. Song Xiao was also happy to be idle. The government of a state was sent to Dazhen Pass quickly. Tian Feng, Ju Su, Yan Zhong and others decided at their discretion.

If it weren't for the public's sight, it would be criticized. How could Song Xiao dare to live alone in the county seat of Ji County? He moved back to Dazhenguan to live in peace early.

When Han Sui led 36 Qiang Canals to the Fenshui Station, Dazhen Pass was still under construction.

Even the front and back Guan Roads were also fully expanded. During the Former Han Dynasty, Longguan Road was an important road connecting the west. Along the way, "five miles one shu, ten miles one pier, thirty miles one fort, and fifty miles one camp." At the junction of the Han Dynasty, the Qiang and Hu rebelled. Today, the Han Dynasty suffered a hundred-year-old Qiang Rebellion, and most of the beacon towers and forts set up along the way were not preserved.

King Ji wanted to build this place into a pass city to make up for the lack of defense facilities along the way.

When the Great Zhenguan City is completed, you only need to guard thousands of troops, which can stop 100,000 troops from the gate.

The one who arrived at the Fenshui Station to welcome Han Sui and his party first was not someone else, but Yan Zhong.

"I've met the military advisor."

"I've seen the general."

The two still treated each other with the old titles. They looked at each other and smiled, and they were all silent.

"I haven't seen each other for many days, and the military advisor is radiant, but he is still better than before." Han Sui said with deep meaning.

"I have a heavy responsibility and dare not slackew for a day. Only when the general situation is completed can I feel relaxed." Yan Zhong also answered with lingering charm.

"What the military advisor said is very true." Han Sui then calmed down and went to Dazhenguan with Yan Zhong.

Seeing that the official roads under the hooves were covered with bluestones, widening several feet widened. Han Sui asked casually: "What does the king mean?"

"Nothing." Yan Zhong replied: "Just to keep the Silk Road smooth."

Han Sui nodded slightly, not commenting on it.

When he saw the pass he had personally supervised, Han Sui couldn't hide his surprise: "Does the king want to build a city?"

"Yes." Yan Zhong replied with a smile: "The lord saw that the mountain peaks are dense, the mountains are high, the ravines are deep, and the forests are lush. The grasses are long and lush, and the valleys are gurgling. The ridge grassland is vast and undulating, like blue waves, covering the tops of the mountains. He wanted to build a city and herd horses here."

When he heard Yan Zhong call Liu Bei the "lord." Han Sui's heart moved: "The Guanshan grassland is an excellent pasture in Guanzhong. Qin Feizi once raised horses for the Zhou royal family between Wei and Wei. He had outstanding achievements and was granted the title of vassal of the Zhou clan. During the former Han Dynasty, General Wei Qing and Huo Qubing fought against the Xiongnu in the north, and the war horses used were also mostly here."

Yan Zhong followed the wishes: "The Ji Kingdom is called a country of ten thousand horses. The horse politics is prosperous. It is common sense for the lord to shepherd the war horses here."

"That's right." Han Sui nodded and smiled.

Climb to Xiongguan and enter the lobby of the pass city.

Han Sui led thirty-six tribes of Qiangqu and knelt down and saluted: "Greetings to King Ji."

"No gift." Liu Bei stretched out his hand to support him: "Give him a seat."

"Thank you, King." Han Sui led thirty-six Qiang Canals and sat down one by one.

"It has been a long time since I parted in Jincheng. Are you safe when the lieutenant?" Liu Bei asked with a smile.

"Thank you, the king, is worried. When Jincheng parted, things and people are wrong. Now I meet you like this, so I was unexpected." Han Sui sighed.

"We will still meet again." Liu Bei asked: "This time, the Huangteng Liangzhou Qu general Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou were the mastermind. The thirty-six tribes of Qiangqu were considered to be the followers. The lieutenant was taken into gangs, and he was also considered to be the followers."

"Thank you for not killing the king!" Han Sui and the thirty-six tribes of Qiangqu finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that they were following the crowd.

"However, Guanxi is in chaos, and it is reported several times a day. Your Majesty cannot sleep and eat, and cannot sleep at night. Death crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped." Liu Bei said again.

"I dare to ask the king, how to convict?" Han Sui asked.

"Rive three thousand miles." Liu Bei blurted out.

"Does King Ji want to confiscate my little family?" A Qiangqu asked in panic. He was traversing for three thousand miles... He was not in the territory of Ji. It was called Tubian, but it was actually confiscating my little family!

The Qiangqu immediately woke up and begged one after another: "I beg the king to beg for the sake of our hometown, so I will be open to the internet!"

"This..." Liu Bei looked puzzled and said nothing.

Seeing Han Sui's eyes, Yan Zhong said, "You have reported to the lord. The thirty-six tribes may have a population of one million. Such a large-scale imprisonment is rare. Moreover, the rebellion of Kanto and the millions of people are also difficult to move. It is better to..."

"What should I do?" Liu Bei asked.

"It's better to reduce the crime and let him 'finish the city'." Yan Zhong replied.

Nowadays, forcing male offenders to build city walls is called "chengdan". Forcing female offenders to pound rice is called "pounding".

"The city of Dan starts to govern the city; the pounding woman does not hesitate to external labor, but only pounds into rice."

"Zhendan pounding" can be divided into three categories according to the additional punishment. The first category is "Wancheng pounding". "Wan" refers to retaining the criminal's hair, removing only the hair and beard, and not corporal punishment. It is the lightest type.

"No." Military Sikong Tian Feng stood up and reported: "A heavy punishment should be used in troubled times. If such a light sentence is imposed, it will help the thief rebel."

Liu Bei then asked, "What do Yuan Hao think?"
