Dirty, thin, numb before being rescued, and crazy after being rescued.

The overseas Hu Qiang taken in by Liu Cang's troops in Longxi were even more miserable than the refugees during the Yellow Turban period.

Looking at the slave soldiers who had joined the front army and were just behind the wolves, Liu Cang's brows could no longer be smoothed.

When these slave soldiers no longer feared the wolves controlled by Liu Cang, these bastards would secretly cut the flesh and blood of the dead enemies on the battlefield as if they were worshiping and offering sacrifices, secretly feed the wild wolves, and get close to the wolves.

"Wen He, the condition of these slaves is too bad. Shoucheng, are the people's livelihood in Longxi really that bad?" Riding his horse slowly, a large number of infantry slaves filled the army, which greatly delayed the march. Liu Cang asked Jia Xu next to him

, Ma Teng asked.

It's not like Liu Cang has never seen slaves before, he has quite a few in his own family. But from what he has seen before, there is no way that slaves could be put into such a state.

After all, this is not a TV show. The human body is difficult to maintain and destroyed very quickly.

Lack of food and clothing will kill you in just a few months. Influenza, dysentery, enteritis, infection, necrosis, etc., can kill you in minutes. This thing is not something that will die just because you say you need it.

Slaves are used to work, so what do slaves who can't do heavy work do? It's better to kill them early to save worry.

Liu Cang somewhat didn't understand how the slaves in Liangzhou could be reduced to this state.

Ma Teng was slightly stunned, and a handsome boy in his teens next to Ma Teng was the first to speak out.

"Your Highness, unless they are cultivating, the herdsmen don't need too many slaves. Most of the slaves here usually do some cleaning and hair collection, and at most they just sort out some fodder. They usually only need to be raised so that they don't starve to death." The young man responded positively to Liu.

Cang, with a childish look on his face.

Ma Chao, Ma Mengqi, Ma Teng's eldest son, the future Five Tiger Generals, have good physiques, but are actually younger than they appear. They had sneaked into the Zhangxian army and were caught by Ma Teng.

Afraid that he would come and cause mischief again, Ma Teng took him with him.

The young Ma Chao was already handsome and tough-tempered. Liu Cang nodded to him with a smile. While Ma Chao was happy, Liu Cang was still a little puzzled.

The herdsmen don’t need slaves? It seems that the Hu and Qiang have always captured many slaves, including the Han people, other tribes, and even their own tribe, so why don’t they need them?

"Haha, my lord, it is difficult for one person to cultivate ten acres of land, but as long as there is a comfortable pasture, ten skilled herdsmen can herd tens of thousands of cattle and sheep." Jia Xu chuckled.

"Nomads don't need too many slaves. Slaves are a manifestation of their status and strength for them. Having slaves can make their lives easier, but even if they don't have them, it won't have any essential impact on them."

".

" Jia Xu explained, some people in Ma Teng's group frowned, but no one refuted, while Dian Wei and others around Liu Cang were similar to Liu Cang, and their original doubtful expressions also brought out some surprises.

"Nomads are not at ease about handing over their livestock to slaves for grazing. These slaves usually do chores and are usually involved in wars or private fights."

"Especially outside the Great Wall, if there is not much physical work that requires manpower, if there is a disaster or the livestock production is reduced, especially in winter when a large number of livestock breed, the slaves will also be used as emergency food by them, which can be regarded as a kind of food reserve."

Xu's face was pale, and the eyelids of Liu Cang and Dian Wei had begun to twitch.

"Liangzhou nomadic people do this too?" Liu Cang tried to keep his tone calm and asked Jia Xu while looking at the wolves and slave soldiers in the distance.

This is very similar to his attitude towards wolves: eat it after use, clean and environmentally friendly.

"We are virtuous people, not like those beasts. If anyone dares to do this, let me know and I will kill them." Ma Chao said unhappily.

"Haha, Ma Chao rarely has loyalty, but Shoucheng Duan is a good teacher." Liu Cang praised with a smile. Ma Teng glared at Ma Chao angrily, but couldn't help but smile.

Slaves, there are many people in Xianbei, Hu and Qiang who are in the vicious circle of slave captors, but there are basically no uprisings in these places. Because they don’t have the energy to uprising at all, they will be killed even before they can uprising.

To use an inappropriate analogy, if the slaves of the Han people are daily necessities that need maintenance, the slaves of the Xianbei and Huqiang are very pure consumables that are consumed quickly.

Chasing water and grass, they have no fixed place to live. One person can herd thousands of cattle and sheep, and a tribe has at least 1,800 people. Slaves are really just a relatively simple decoration for them.

"Uprising." Liu Cang murmured to himself. He could already see the shadow of Didao County in the distance, and the generals around him looked at him with some doubts.

"Pang De, send the order to the wolf army, lead the pack of wolves to run around the county and city three times, and then turn to Wuhan."

"Ma Teng, lead the righteous followers of Liangzhou and run with the wolves to the county city. They will set up a formation a thousand meters below the city." Liu Cang ordered.

"Here!" Pang De and Ma Teng took orders to mobilize their troops.

"Your Highness, are you not going to attack the city?" Ma Chao was guarded by several big men under Ma Teng's command to prevent him from running around. But at this time, he was holding a lance with a wooden handle and asked Liu Cang.

"The Didao rebels withdrew long ago. They rebelled again this time. There is a reason for the incident and it is not appropriate to kill them." Liu Cang shook his head. Seeing that Liu Cang did not elaborate anymore, Ma Chao looked at the big man next to him in confusion. The big man looked at Liu Cang and hesitated with Ma Chao.

Explain softly.

Guo Guo, the leader of the Didao rebels, ran away. This guy originally wanted to establish a country, but when he saw the rebels gathered in Liangzhou to suppress the rebellion, he simply took his greatly reduced army and ran to Fanhan to join Song Yang.

Both of them wanted to establish a country. They were originally at odds with Beigong Boyu, Han Sui and other rebels. However, after Han Sui stabbed Beigong Boyu and Bian Zhang, the two of them even mentioned twelve things to Han Sui.

Be extremely careful.

Fuhan and Jincheng are at the corner of each other, but the troops on both sides are separated, and no one interferes in the affairs of the other.

If we get here, it can be said that Didao has conquered Xi Zhan.

But in the end, who knew that Zhang Rang, Liu Hong and their gang were messing around in Luoyang again, and even reached Didao, Liangzhou. The voice of rebellion in Didao reappeared. Although there was no actual movement, the city was closed and refused to welcome the officers and soldiers. The situation was unclear.

What is Liu Hong and Zhang Rang doing again?

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Doesn’t Liu Hong want to decorate Nangong?

Nangong, it's smoking and burning.

Several palaces were burned and there was an uproar.

Then, the palace issued an order to collect land tax of ten yuan per mu from all over the world and use it to build the palace.

Not only that, but at the same time, wood and grained stones from Taiyuan, Hedong, and Didao counties were requisitioned to rebuild the palace.

The land tax was probably used to pay for the bronze statue of Liu Hongrong. In the Han Dynasty, it was not a bad thing to collect local wood and stone materials, because the money was paid according to the market price.

But the bad thing is that a group of young eunuchs didn't want to give money. Not only did they not want to give money, they also wanted to make money.

Well, regardless of how many things are involved here, Zhang Rang's performance is quite good anyway. This kind of thing cannot be cleaned up.

Forcibly discounting prices and piling up rotten wood, the powerful families lost all their money, and the common people suffered miserably. Other places were fine, but here in Didao, the rebels had not fled hundreds of miles.

The common people crouched down for a summary, and it is unclear whether the governor Li Shen's role was included in it. Anyway, Li Shen was imprisoned in Didao City, and Didao closed the city to demonstrate in an attempt to resist the government troops.

"The eunuchs are disgusting!" Someone told Ma Chao over there, and Ma Chao became angry and yelled.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Liu Cang. Most of the people around Ma Chao were frightened, but everyone around Liu Cang had strange expressions.

"What are you looking at? How about taking His Majesty along with you." Liu Cang rolled his eyes and Ma Chao was stunned. When someone explained to Ma Chao, Ma Chao looked confused.

Regarding the situation where Liu Cang, whom he admired, got involved with the eunuch leader, the young Ma Chao seemed to have a somewhat shattered outlook on life.

"Pan Feng! Gather a team and lead the slave soldiers with the above status, we are going to lead them to revolt." Everyone laughed and did not listen to Liu Cang's words. When Liu Cang shouted again, everyone was shocked, but Ma Chao's eyes lit up.

"Really?!" Ma Chao suddenly felt that King Dongping, who he admired, was back again.

"Well, it's true." His eyes signaled Pan Feng to gather his troops. Liu Cang looked at Ma Chaozhi again with a weird smile on his lips.
