Chapter 176

Fu Xie held a bamboo slip and looked at Liu Ye with a grim face: "Yuqing, the mature Qiang people gathered to make trouble and refused to pay for food and grass."

Liu Ye snorted coldly: "Chengji is the northern gate of Tianshui. If the Qiang people are allowed to make a rebellion and link up the northern Gong Bo Yu and the frontier chapter, it will be a great disaster."

Liu Ye thought for a while and made a decision.

"Nanrong, someone left you a thousand riders and a thousand footmen, and asked Wen Ze to stay to help you. Some brought 3000 cavalry and went to fight the rebellion."

Fu Xie nods. They are generals under huangfusong's tent. He knows Liu Ye's ability very well, and he knows that his ability to lead troops to war is far more than his own.

"Yu Qing, be careful when you go here. However, most of the Qiang people in the Chengji period were burned as Qiang people, which was not the same as the Qiang people who were the first to be rebellious."

Liu Ye nodded: "I know."

In the prefecture magistrate's office, several riders rode out, and the military orders were passed on. The departments at all levels operated in an orderly manner. Yu Jian led 2000 Bu Qi to stay in Jixian city. Liu Ye and Zhang Xiguan, the second general, rode 3000 steps out of the city, while Fu Xie arranged food for Liu Ye's headquarters.

When Liu Ye and his army were still 20 li away from Jixian County, he sent out a sentry to inform the officials in the county. Therefore, the officials of Chengji County, large and small, had already gone out to meet him.

A civil servant with seven or eight followers came up from afar, respectfully said: "the lower official Chengji County Shouwang Shu, see the sheriff."

Liu Ye nodded, not angry and self-confident: "Wang County guard to prepare three thousand people three days of food and grass, by the way, and this county magistrate to talk about in detail what is going on."

"Yes, this way, sheriff."

Zhang jaw led his army to stay outside the city. Only Guan Hai and more than 100 soldiers followed Liu Ye into the city, while Liu Ye and Wang Shu talked as they walked.

"Wang county magistrate, where are these Qiang people?"

"From then on, thirty miles to the northwest, there is a valley in which the Qiang people set up their villages."

Liu Ye and Wang Shu have a talk and get a general understanding of the situation. The Qiang people are one of the burning Qiang people. The leader is Yao Lingkun. The population of the tribe is about 4000, and there are more than 1000 people who control the string.

Wang Shu respectfully said: "the lower official has prepared a banquet for the sheriff. Please come in."

Liu Ye did not answer, but said: "how about the preparation of food and grass?"

"They are all ready, or else..."

"No need. Rescuing the army is like fighting the fire. The sooner the Qiang people's rebellion is solved, the better. So we will send troops."

Liu Ye goes straight out of the city. His red cape opens with the wind and strides out of the city.

Wang Shu looked at his back and sighed: "with such a prefect, there is no worry about Tianshui."

……

"My Lord, my Lord!"

A burst of rapid footsteps came, Yao Lingkun frowned, only to see the soldiers under the tent rushed in.

"What's the panic?" Yao Lingkun snorted.

Wearing fur coats and felt hats, the Qiang soldiers were in a hurry: "my Lord! There's an army of Han people outside. "

Yao Lingkun stood up: "what? The Han army is coming. How many are there? "

"There are thousands of people. Everyone is in a panic. Please go out and have a look."

Yao Lingkun looked angry: "damn Han people! We give our people 15 taxes and 1 tax, but we pay 10 yuan per mu, and now we send troops here. "

After that, Yao Lingkun stepped out of the hall and onto the wall of the village.

Hundreds of Qiang people have been surrounded by the walls of the village for a long time. When they saw Yao Lingkun coming, they cheered in unison.

"My Lord is here."

The word "adult" is often used in TV dramas when the lower officials call their superiors. In fact, the word "adult" was first used to address the leaders of ethnic minorities, similar to the "Danyu" in the Huns.

Yao Lingkun stepped on the wall of the village and was shocked. Outside the fortress, there are three Han Army formations, each of which is about 1000 people. There are two cavalry formations and one infantry array.

A thousand troopers were standing in the formation, surrounded by a big flag with the character of Liu. The horses of the two thousand Han Dynasty were galloping back and forth. The tail and hooves raised countless dust, and the sound of horses' hooves roared and roared.

Yao Lingkun clenched his fist and clenched his teeth and said, "take my bow and arrow!"

Hearing this, a Qiang servant stepped forward a few steps ago, holding an ox horn bow in his hand. Yao Lingkun reached for it, and the Qiang servant handed over the arrow bag again.

Yao Lingkun took his bow and arrow. His sharp eyes carefully searched for the target. The sharp arrow suddenly stopped.

"This red robed guy is a great general of the Han people?"

Yao Lingkun's focus is not on others, but on Liu Ye, who is wearing red robes. With his bow and arrow, he aims at Liu Ye's throat, intending to give the Han army a strong hand.

Whoosh!

Collapse!

The bow string was ringing, and a carving feather arrow flew from under the wall of the village.

"Yes?"

Liu Ye's spear suddenly swings away, which just knocks the carving feather arrow aside.

"Drive!"

Liu Ye galloped out, rode alone under the wall, and looked up at a group of Qiang people above the wall."I am the governor of Tianshui appointed by the emperor. Who is Yao Lingkun? Come out and answer."

Yao Lingkun took up his bow and arrow and yelled, "I am Yao Lingkun. Are you the new sheriff?"

Liu Ye replied: "yes, the governor of this prefecture has specially changed the tax to one in the fifteen years. Why do you refuse to pay it?"

Yao Lingkun was furious when he heard the speech: "you and other Han officials naturally cover up the Han people. The Han people are all taxed at 15 yuan. Why are we still paying 10 yuan per mu?"

In the Han Dynasty, taxes were very light in the past dynasties. Basically, taxes were either 15 taxes or 30 taxes. They followed the rule of emperor Wenjing and Emperor Huang Laowu. However, in huanling emperor, in order to cater for personal pleasure, the tax was raised to 10 yuan per mu.

Liu Ye is stunned when he hears the speech. He thinks in his heart: I ordered the whole county of Tianshui to change the tax from 10 yuan per mu to 1 tax per mu. Why does Yao Lingkun say that the tax is 10 yuan per mu, but his tone is different. It seems that there is something hidden in it.

Yao Lingkun snorted coldly: "sheriff, the petty officials sent by the county to collect taxes are locked up by us. In the end, it is ten yuan per mu of tax or one of fifteen taxes. If the Sheriff has the courage to enter the country, he will know by asking."

Zhang jaw pulls his horse to catch up with him. He rushes behind Liu Ye, and whispers, "the prefect is the chief of the whole county. If the Qiang people have any conspiracy, we will be afraid to use them."

Guan Hai snorted impatiently: "what is the nonsense between the governor and the Qiang people? Let's directly break down the stronghold and make an example of others to see who dares not to pay taxes. "

Liu Ye frowns after hearing Zhang and Guan Hai's words. Is what the Qiang people say true or false? Do you want to risk yourself

When Liu Ye looks up, he sees that hundreds of Qiang people on the walls of the village are filled with indignation and gnash their teeth. It seems that they have a hatred of killing their father and robbing their wives.

"If you don't go into the tiger's den, what will you get?"

Zhang jaw brow a frown: "sheriff, you?"
