When Dunhuang and Guazhou were in a state of jubilation, in the desert north of Dunhuang, a group of camel teams and horse teams were marching with difficulty.

The guide walked at the front of the line.

Starting from Dunhuang, go to Yanqi and Qiuzi, which are large deserts. Difficulties in the transfer of materials. This route is one of the routes in the Silk Road. But it is only suitable for caravans, small groups of troops to advance. Not at all suitable for the march of a large army.

The most ideal route for the march of the army should be to advance to the Turpan Basin, go west along Hami and Gaochang, and enter the boundaries of Yanqi and Qiuci.

However, in the context of the defeat of the Bayegu coalition army at this time, killing or capturing most of them, this is undoubtedly the best time to take the back road and take Qiuzi. The Governor's Office ordered 10,000 soldiers of the Beijing battalion to attack.

Shen Qian, the head of the military department and the second son of the prince of Qingguo, is in this team.

The sun is blazing. Shen Qian was wrapped in a white cloth, feeling that his mouth and nose were full of sand, looking at the winding procession, following the robes.

There are no shortcuts to success. You have to go through hardships.

…

…

At the same time, in the Gobi outside the Beishan Mountains, the deputy general Le Bai commanded the soldiers under his command to pursue in turn and expand the victory.

The losses of the Boyegu coalition army were very large. However, the generals, nobles, and commanders of all ethnic groups escaped in the Battle of Beishan.

Sporadic fighting, day and night, never stopped. The Zhou army's troops were directed at Hami.

…

…

At the beginning of September, outside the northwest, it was late autumn and early winter. The sky is as clear as the blue sea, and on the flat grassland, the two colors of withered yellow alternately. Form a messy, beautiful arc. Cattle and sheep are grazing.

A group of cavalry galloped along the Jingquan River. Looking at the cavalry of the Han people, the barbarian herdsmen grazing on the grassland showed a look of fear in their eyes.

Recently, the Tuyuhun tribe was defeated, and the ancient tribe of Baye came to attack and was also defeated. A large number of nobles and wealthy merchants in the city were implicated, or arrested, or killed, and their property confiscated! The news has long spread throughout the Dunhuang area. Even the most ignorant herders know it!

Senator Jia, the newly in power, has taken an extremely tough stance on Hu. The former General Miao was ostracized. This is no longer the case!

Da Bingze is located in the northwest of Dunhuang City 20 miles. Jia Huan and his entourage left the city in the morning and arrived in about half an hour.

It used to be the residence of the famous king of the Tuyuhun tribe. After the defeat of Hu Cai, the Zhou army captured and took over this place on the same day. A large number of cattle, sheep, and children of the Hu people were captured.

At six o'clock in the first month of September, it is very lively here. The humble camp, fenced in wood, was full of people. Officials and officials sorted out the post-war harvests, classified them, and made records. The merchants were drilling the camp, hoping to get Hu slaves, cattle and sheep and other materials at a low price, and then sell them to the Central Plains.

Of course, the businessmen who stay here are not financially strong. It belongs to small and medium-sized forces. The real giant businessmen talked directly with the powerful figures in the military and cut the biggest cake of post-war commerce.

"Stomp!"

The red fat jacket of Yishui and the momentum of more than a hundred cavalry immediately aroused the idea of everyone at the entrance of the camp.

The sharp-eyed man shouted: "It's Senator Jia!" Jia Huan appeared many times in Dunhuang a few days ago, and many people have seen him. And in the Western Regions, the name of Senator Jia is more famous than "Jia Tanhua"!

A man in his twenties, looking at the young people in the team, sighed enviously, "I have lived in vain for more than 20 years!" ”

Jia Huan, as a powerful figure in Dunhuang, even the barbarian herdsmen knew about it. How could a well-informed businessman not know? In the Provisional Governor's Palace, now Jia Huan's words count! Immediately, there was a thoughtful businessman who paid attention: "What is Senator Jia doing here?" ”

Beishan's victory, the real wealth, in fact, is in two places: first, after Beishan, the captured logistics team to supply the Bayegu coalition army: millions of cattle and sheep. Second, the wealth of the Tuyuhun, Qiang, Yue's nobles, and wealthy merchants in Dunhuang City.

The tens of thousands of people here, cattle and sheep, are not the largest. The wealth of gold, silver, precious stones and other treasures of Tugu Hun has long been transported to Dunhuang. It stands to reason that Jia Huan is at the top of the power pyramid in Dunhuang, and he should not appear here, paying attention to this petty profit.

The merchants at the gate of the camp were talking to each other, and after a while, the latest news came: Senator Jia came to punish Hu'er of the Tuyuhun tribe who insulted his ancestors and wife in the city that day.

…

…

Autumn winds blow across the grasslands. At noon, the sun was shining. An atmosphere of slaughter emerges.

At the northern end of the Dajuze grassland, rows of about 100 Hu people were tied up and knelt down, many of whom wept bitterly and begged for mercy in Chinese: "Lord Jia spares my life, I was just acting on orders that day." I don't dare to offend adults. ”

There are also humanitarians: "Lord Jia has a lot of people, why bother with villains like us?" There is a wrong, and there is a debtor. This matter was discussed by Prince Fu, Mu Yan, and General Miao. We wish to remember the virtue of Lord Jia's rebirth for the rest of our lives. ”

Dunhuang has been attached to the Han family for more than 150 years, and Da Bingze is not far from Dunhuang City. Many people in the Tuyuhun tribe speak Chinese. Otherwise, why was Jia Huan scolded at the door of the Chengnan Post House in those days at the end of August?

Jia Huan sat behind the table, unmoved. The expression was indifferent.

Apologies are useful, but what do you want the law to do? It is useful to beg for mercy, what do you want the army to do?

Qin Hongtu, Zhang Sishui, Huang Guan, Qian Huai, and Hu Xiaosi surrounded Jia Huan. More than a dozen students from the school followed. More than 100 generals and colonels were preparing for execution with firearms in their hands. A petty official of the ninth rank and a few scribes checked the list on the side.

At this time, an old man from the Tuyuhun tribe came over under the leadership of a small official. About 60 years old. This age is considered a high life expectancy among the Hu people. Ambassador Sun came over and said, "Master Jia, this is the old man Mousa of the Tuyuhun Division. High prestige among the tribes. He has been very cooperative with us these days. ”

Jia Huan nodded.

Musa knelt in front of Jia Huan and said, "Heaven has the virtue of a good life. Now all the people of my tribe belong to the Celestial Empire. Wangjia is open. Forgive them their lives. The sin of the sinners, cutting off the tongue and piercing the face, is not a capital crime. ”

There is a lot of truth in that. But this truth is only the truth of Tugu Hunbu, not the truth of Jia Huan.

The students in the Shazhou Mansion School followed Jia Huan because of their admiration for Jia Huan's literary talent and reputation. Of course, the deeper reason is that the strong and gentlemanly here in Dunhuang began to bet on Jia Huan. The children of the faction followed him.

There were a few students, their faces moving slightly. Indeed, sin does not lead to death.

Jia Huan refuted coldly: "Hu Er is as reckless as a beast, does not know etiquette, his son steps his father and wife, and does not respect his ancestors. The people of my Han family, the descendants of the Han family, sacrificed for generations. How is it not a capital offense for a member of your tribe to insult my ancestors and my wife with vicious language?

From my own point on, anyone who dares to insult my Great Zhou officials in public will die! ”

Muses was silent, fell to the ground, and prostrated himself. Seems pitiful. However, people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads!

At the breakfast when the leader of the Tuyuhun went out on the expedition, how many Tuyuhun people expected the men in the tribe to bring back a lot of wealth, Han slaves, and women? Including this old. As an elder, he also has a son.

A student couldn't bear it, walked out of the crowd, bowed his hands, and persuaded: "My lord, killing more than 100 people at a time may not be good for my reputation in the future." ”

Jia Huan made a downward gesture, refused, and said bluntly: "No reactive power, no need to say more." Execute! "Saying anything about insulting the ancestors is actually just a pretext.

Establishing the majesty of the imperial court is one of them.

Most importantly, how could he forget the humiliation that these Hu'er had imposed on him? His beloved two wives, Sister Bao and Sister Lin, were named and abused by these people, and they were known all over the city. It has become a joke of the political secretary of the Western Regions.

A man who is so viciously insulting to your wife and talks about kindness is a complete fool!

I'd rather teach 10,000 people to grit their teeth and hate them, and don't teach them to scold me!

Mu Yan, the Yue's man who designed this, has been killed. How could a non-scribe notice his wife's name? directly instructed the weight of this matter, like a lost dog fleeing into the desert. The roots, Vice General Miao, his life will not be easy.

Han Wugong sighed softly, this is really Lord Jia's style: very Jia Huan!

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

The smoke of gunpowder is filled, and the grievances are clear!

Next, Jia Huan announced in public that Da Bingze would set up a township and distribute land to disabled and retired soldiers. In front of more than a hundred lives. Who is for and who is against, the answer to this question is clear!

…

…

On the way back to Dunhuang City, Jia Huan rode on a horse, looking lonely.

After punishing those beards, the pent-up emotions in his heart were vented and there was no longer any hindrance. However, now that the tense situation has eased and he is free, he wants to know more and more about the situation at Jiangnan's home.

He wrote several letters home, but has not yet received a reply. When he received the last letter, Sister Bao was still sick.

She's okay?
