Heli Mountain in May has a clear blue sky.

Ju Meng walked down the mountain, and the captains following him immediately followed closely.

Ever since Ju Meng arrived at Heli Mountain, he has been doing one thing - conquering the Qiang and Hu tribes near Heli Mountain.

Whether it's with your mouth or your fists.

In short, in a word, the area around Heli Mountain must become the territory of the Han family.

And once Ju Meng's plan succeeds, even if he does not capture the Juyan area, Ju Meng will gain the title of a feudal lord for his contribution.

The reason is simple.

Heli Mountain is more than just a mountain.

It's not just a mountain range either.

In fact, as long as the Han army can control this place and build a city here, the Han family's territory will immediately expand thousands of miles westward!

Leaving the north, passing through Xiutuze and Guzang Mountains, passing through the weak river to Heli Mountain, a thousand miles of territory will fall under the control of the Han family.

Moreover, this place is not a remote place.

In fact, Guzang Mountain, more than 500 miles east of Heli Mountain, was the ancestral land of Xiutu and Hunxie, the two largest tribes of the Huns.

This place was once the ancestral land of Wusun and Yueshi.

For a place that can breed hegemonic forces like Wusun and Yuezhi, it is conceivable that the local resources must be very rich.

Going north from Guzang Mountain, you can even see the majestic Rouge Mountain.

To be honest, if it had not been for the Western Xiongnu who were desperate and had no choice but to cede Heli Mountain in exchange for life-saving food and supplies from the Han family.

It might not be so easy for the Han family to get this place.

However, even if it is difficult for him to cede this land, it does not mean that he does not harbor evil intentions.

When he evacuated this place, he drove a large number of Qiang people living in Hexi to the vicinity of Heli Mountain, Rouge Mountain and Guzang Mountain.

After the Han army obtained this place, except for occupying the main mountain of Heli Mountain, they were almost indifferent to the outside world.

This caused a continuous influx of Qiang people from the Hexi area.

In just two years, the number of Qiang tribes in Heli Mountain, Rouge Mountain and Guzang Mountain has tripled.

The total number exceeds more than 200,000, becoming the biggest obstacle for the Han army to control and rule this place.

These Qiang people are very difficult to deal with!

Ju Meng has been here for more than two months, almost three months.

Still haven't dealt with these guys.

Because the Qiang people are basically a group of people who don't take soft and hard things.

What's even more disgusting is that the Qiang tribe is very small, with no more than two or three thousand people at most. A small tribe may have more than a hundred people gathered into one tribe.

They live among the mountains, hidden in the forests.

They make a living by shepherding sheep. Although some tribes can also farm, their farming method is slash and fire - if you see a place that looks good, you just light a fire, and then just throw some seeds and forget about it.

Wait until autumn to harvest.

This kind of technology is something that only the larger Qiang tribe can do.

As for ordinary small tribes, they never farm.

If everything depends on the sheep, if that is not possible, you can go to the forest to pick some wild fruits and hunt wild animals.

Just like the black uncles on the African savannah, this treasure land with rich water, soil and products makes it difficult for the Qiang people to have any sense of crisis or urgency.

And this is exactly what makes these Qiang people so troublesome!

These people are relatively honest during good times.

But once the climate changes and there is a natural disaster, they will jump out of the mountains to rob, steal or even attack and kill others.

Once upon a time, when the Huns ruled this place, they had a lot of headaches about this, but there was nothing they could do about it.

Let's send an army to suppress them... If someone hides in a ravine, how do you catch him?

Even if it is caught, the effort is not proportional to the gain.

No matter...the Qiang people know how to kick their noses into their faces.

Therefore, in the later period of the Shanyu's rule, the Huns simply included the Qiang people in their enemy list.

Kill them on sight, no matter what tribe these Qiang people come from!

The old Xiongnu ace tribes like Zhelan, Aries, and Loufan even had plans to go to Hexi to hunt down and encircle the Qiang people in the mountains.

On the one hand, it is to eliminate hidden dangers and protect the absolute safety of your tribe’s migration journey.

On the other hand, they used Qiang people to train and hone their new soldiers.

Over time, the Qiang people were trained by the Huns.

These people are smarter than foxes and more timid than mice.

At the slightest sign of disturbance, he immediately hides deep in the mountains, leaving you nowhere to be found.

Ju Meng stayed here for more than two months, using coercion and inducement, both soft and hard, but he could only 'persuade' a dozen Qiang tribesmen to come out and accept the king's transformation and enlightenment.

And other tribes...

Now they are all among the mountains, playing hide and seek with the Han army!

Thinking of this, Ju Meng became a little angry.

"If you don't drink a toast, you'll have to drink wine as a penalty..." Ju Meng said to the people around him, "My general's patience with the Qiang people has been worn out..."

At the beginning, Ju Meng was still thinking about being gentle.

In his view, it should not be difficult for barbarians like the Qiang people to recover as long as they give policies a way out and show their fists appropriately.

But the facts gave him a hard slap in the face.

These Qiang people don't accept anything like wooing and kindness at all.

"I am going to write to the Emperor and request His Majesty to send Captain Daojian of Jingfu here to preside over the policy towards the Qiang people..." Ju Meng said coldly, but there was murderous intent in his words.

And the name of Dao Jian made all the generals on the left and right tremble with fear when they heard it.

That's Touma!

The evil name is enough to stop a child from crying at night!

As we all know, since the emperor came to the throne, the previous generation of cool officials have basically transformed.

Chao Cuo embarked on the road of civil servants, and Zhidu became a general with both civil and military skills.

Now that you have gained wealth, you naturally have to cultivate your moral character. You will no longer just pick up a knife and kill people regardless of trivial matters.

But a new generation of cruel officials also emerged from this.

Zhang Tang, the governor of Nanyang County, Daojian, the captain of Jingfu, Wang Wenshu, Yin Qi, the captain of the Xiuyi Guard, and Gongsun Hong, the captain of the lord, are examples of cruel officials who have risen in recent years.

Among them, Zhang Tang is the most famous, but Dao Jian is the most vicious!

This Lieutenant of Jingfu had only been in office for one year, but he had already killed hundreds of dignitaries and powerful men like chopping melons and vegetables.

Now in Chang'an, this man is already the number one cool official in the world who can stop children from crying at night!

People at that time said: It is better to meet a jackal than to be angry with a straight knife!

The fierce power is visible!

but……

The most powerful thing about this person is not handling cases.

This former ranger leader and big businessman was best at playing with people's hearts and luring them to death with money and silk.

There are rumors in the market that Anton’s so-called dispatch workers are a system he established single-handedly.

If Toma comes here...

The Qiang people may be in trouble for eight lifetimes!

…………………………………………

A few days later, Ju Meng's report arrived at Liu Che's desk via carrier pigeon.

"Well..." Liu Che nodded after reading it. He was very satisfied with Ju Meng's request for help.

What Liu Che fears most is that Ju Meng knows that he is not good at a certain period, but he has to bite the bullet and do it by himself.

In the end, it is very likely that you will only mislead others and yourself.

Like now, if you can't handle things that you can't handle, just ask experts to do it. How good would it be?

"Go and tell Captain Jingfu to enter the palace..." Liu Che turned around and ordered.

An hour later, Dao Jian appeared in front of Liu Che.
