The topography of the Dadu River has been personally surveyed, and it is wide and fast.
With a battleship as a bridge, what a scale!
Gao Fang remained silent.
As a counselor, Dong Yun naturally understood Gao Fang's current predicament and suggested: "The Central Plains has crossed the Dadu River, and our army no longer needs support. Why not withdraw to Xichang City and wait for the enemy to attack?"
Gao Fang was waiting for this sentence and said: "That's fine! Just follow what Mr. Wang said..."
He said and glanced at Afu thoughtfully.
But he saw Afu's face change greatly, and he said in panic: "No, Marquis Yue, if you withdraw, what will happen to Qiongbu River? There are not many soldiers in Qiongbu River, and they cannot withstand the attack of the northern bandits."
The tribes in Dali are completely different from the tribes in Tubo before.
Tubo has long been divided into eighteen hundred pieces. Their tribes are autonomous, have their own army and are self-sufficient.
Dali is a complete country, and the tribes are divided into heavy troops and heavy people.
The Xuhen tribe is a tribe that focuses more on military affairs, and Dali will supply food, weapons, and armor.
Qiongbuchuan belongs to a peasant-merchant tribe that emphasizes people, has food and money, does not have its own army, and has no ability to resist. The materials produced must be turned over to the state and distributed uniformly by the state.
That is to say, there is peace under the rule of Dali, otherwise the Qiongbu River would have been torn apart and swallowed up to the point where nothing was left.
Gao Fang was still thinking about clearing out the resources of the Sichuan barbarians in Qiongbu before leaving. Seeing Afu's cowardice, he gave up this idea. It was not worth ruining his reputation just for the sake of greed. He said: "Zhongyuan
As soon as we arrived at the Dadu River, we entered the battle. We will definitely rest on the south bank of the Dadu River, and you have enough time to move south. There is a place near Wuliang Mountain in Yongchang Prefecture, and you can go and live there."
Ah Fu's face was overjoyed and he kept nodding and bowing.
"Let's go!"
Gao Fang ignored A Fu and led his troops to retreat.
Return to Xichang City first, and then consider the next thing.
Ah Fu respectfully sent Gao Fang off and returned to Wunong City with a shake of his head.
Wunongcheng is said to be a city, but it is actually a larger county town. It is surrounded by some earthen walls to prevent small-scale thieves.
Because many deserters from the Xuhen tribe entered the city, they talked about the horror of the Central Plains, and people in Qiongbu River were also panicked.
Seeing Ah Fu return, everyone with status and status flocked to the area to inquire about the situation.
At this time, Afu did not act submissive in front of the high officials, but showed a serious expression, skillfully calming everyone's emotions.
Until there were only Afu and his younger brother Beihe, Shaogai and his sons Ayou and Mouang left in the government office.
Only then did Afu tell everyone Gao Fang's intentions.
Bei barked: "Wuliang Mountain is okay, not as good as Qiongbu River, but much better than our previous ghost land."
The core members of their Qionbu Sichuan Barbarians have lived in ghost lands for generations, so Afu also has a very prestigious name as the Ghost Lord of Baimandu.
Shaogai touched his big bald head and said: "I like Qiongbu River and don't want to leave."
Bei Wei said helplessly: "Why do I want to leave? With the strength we have, how can we compare with the thousands of troops in the Central Plains?"
Facing his family, Ah Fu changed his appearance again, looked at his two younger brothers with a smile, and said: "There is no need to argue. I have decided not to leave, but to surrender directly to the Central Plains. Who will I live with in this life?"
It’s not true. Even though Gao Fang is so powerful in southern Xinjiang, he won’t be able to please the Central Plains.”
Afu had great prestige in Qiongbu River. Under his call, Qiongbu River surrendered directly to the Central Plains.
Ah Fu personally led his son Ah You to the south bank of the Dadu River to visit Gao Huaide.
"I have met the great general of the Celestial Dynasty!"
Ah Fu, Ah You followed the Central Plains way of saluting and said hello to Gao Huaide.
"The Qiongbu River was the territory of the Han family during the Han and Tang Dynasties. Our tribe has admired the culture of the Celestial Dynasty for a long time. When we heard that the heavenly soldiers from the Central Plains had arrived, we led our troops to submit to the Celestial Dynasty and become its subjects."
Afu's words are not adulterated at all.
The Dumu barbarians have been living among the barren mountains and rivers called Ghost Land for hundreds of years. Although the tribe has no external enemies, they struggle with nature every year, and their lives are extremely miserable.
Afu learned Han culture from the old priests of the clan since he was a child. After he succeeded the clan leader, he did not want to follow the same path as his predecessor and began to seek change.
Boldly leading the tribe out of the ghost land and accepting a new life in Qiongbu River.
Qiongbu River is very close to Shu, and traders traveling to and from Dali, Shu, often rest in Qiongbu River.
Afu learned a lot from them, and specially hired unsuccessful scholars from the Shu region to teach the tribesmen, learn farming techniques from the Shu region, and encourage business.
Since the development of Qiongbu River, all models have been copied from Shu.
The officials in Shu were greedy and made the people miserable. But Afu sincerely developed the tribe and acted fairly, which directly caused the Qiongbu River to grow more than ten times in ten years.
Gao Huaide was not good at handling relationships in this area, so he just responded politely.
Guo Wuwei on the side assisted Gao Huaide in handling the details.
"Chief Afu, please rest assured. Our Celestial Army has strict military discipline. We have come all the way and will not miss the autumn. You go back and appease the people of the tribe and let them go as usual. From now on, your taxation will be based on our Central Plains policy. All the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes in Dali will not be punished."
abolition."
"But since we have submitted to our Central Plains, the Afu clan must grow towards our Central Plains. My army is heading south and I don't know much about the topography of Dali. Can the Afu clan chief arrange a guide for our army?"
Ah Fu said without hesitation: "This is natural!"
As he spoke, he pointed to his son Ayou and said with a smile: "This is the son of a dog, Ayou. He admires the culture of the Central Plains the most. On his bedside are written four famous sayings by the Emperor of the Central Plains. Why is it for heaven and earth?
Establish your heart and establish your destiny for the sake of living and the people...Ayou has always been responsible for the interactions with surrounding tribes."
Ayou took a step forward and said: "The Qiongbu River is focused on agriculture and commerce. The tribes near Jianchang Prefecture are ignorant and do not believe in the Shu people, let alone the Central Plains. The grassroots people joined their tribes, purchased their stored materials, and sent them to Shu.
Selling. It’s hard to say about other places. No one is more familiar with the locations of various ethnic tribes in the mountains around Jianchang Prefecture than the grassroots people."
Hearing this, Gao Huaide suddenly became interested and said, "Can you understand the map?"
A Youdao: "Know a little bit."
Gao Huaide pointed to his desk and said: "Here is a map. You can draw all the surrounding Dali ethnic camps."
Ayou took a few steps forward and looked at the exquisite map. He was slightly surprised. He then took out a pen and marked each one on the map: Baosai tribe, Luolan tribe, Wudeng tribe, Lianglin tribe, Adu tribe.
The place where the seven tribes of Shama and Fengpa tribes are located.
Gao Huaide asked Guo Wuwei to receive Afu and Ayou on his behalf, and called Quan Shixiong, Chang Side, Tian Chongjin, Yuan Jizhong, Huangfu Jiming and other generals to discuss military affairs.
Gao Huaide hung up the map to show the public.
Looking at the location of the seven tribes, the generals frowned.
Quan Shixiong said in a deep voice: "This Gao Fang should not be underestimated!"
Gao Huaide nodded and said: "Three of the seven tribes guard Xichang City in Jianchang Prefecture, and the other four are located in the mountains leading to Xichang City. If we leave the four tribes alone, our logistics will be endlessly harassed."
