There are definitely not eight states from Shanzhou to Yinzhou. There are several states scattered in the surrounding areas. Wang Hua is not interested, but he cannot dig out a golden doll with one shovel. The existence of these states has a small constraint on the eight states.

This will make the Tang royal family feel more at ease. Otherwise, Wang Hua would form an iron barrel, either a rebellion or a rebellion. For Wang Hua, before his strength became stronger, could he defend it even if he gave him sixteen states? And it would take at least a few months to completely digest these eight states.

But there is one state special, Guzhou. It is east of Dafeichuan, west of Hezhou, and south of Shanzhou. As Hezhou and Shanzhou are all included in the king's paintings, Guzhou has been completely isolated.

The reason why Wang Hua did not take down this state was that there was an army stationed here. It was stationed before the blood camp arrived. This army fought against Tubo many times and its combat effectiveness was extremely impressive. Of course, they did not have the courage to pick up Wang Hua's tiger power. However, if you want to conquer them, there may be some casualties. Moreover, Wang Hua did not want to ruin them. It would be best to let them take the initiative to subdue them.

Another factor is to prepare for a battle that is about to begin.

Once Guzhou is taken into account, Guzhou will become the first choice target for Tubo's attack. He will lose the most important arrangement of Wang Hua.

Therefore, let Guzhou be left to the government and army of the Tang Dynasty for the time being. In this way, no matter how ambitious Di Dayan was, he would not dare to attack Guzhou. If he dared to attack, he would directly force the Tang Dynasty and Wang Hua to join forces to deal with Tubo. Di Dayan was also a general with some strategy, and this obvious mistake would not be made.

Then there are only two ways to attack Shanzhou. First, if you pass through Guzhou and cross the Huangshui River, the Tang army stationed in Guzhou will not block them as long as you release the exit wind. But in this way, the meaning of a surprise soldier will be lost. This is also a second option. You can only choose the second one, passing through the upstream of the Dafei River through the Huangshui River, and directly attacking Shanzhou between Nanchuan and Beichuan. There are countless canyon basins, forest valleys, which are also conducive to hiding the traces of the army.

Of course, there is another road, from Nanchuan to Shancheng. But the current Shancheng is not Xining in later generations. It is not worth it to dispatch thousands or even tens of thousands of troops. Moreover, the granary arranged by Wang Hua is not on the south bank of Nanchuan, but in a valley to the north.

But this gave Wang Hua a chance.

The flow of Huangshui River decreased a lot in later generations, and some tributaries were all dried up or disappeared, but it was also a famous river in Qinghai. Moreover, the environment has not been damaged now and the water resources are richer. The upstream has densely packed many small tributaries in Bu. However, they are not big, and some tributaries are less than one meter deepest. This does not hinder the marching at all.

Wang Hua chose a must-pass river, a fine pebbles river. The river surface is a bit wide, with the widest place being twenty or thirty meters, but the river water is very shallow, with an average depth of only seventy or eighty centimeters. Moreover, because the river surface is wide, the water flow is not surging. The river is covered with a kind of pebbles with delicate texture, which is also the origin of the name of this river.

There are many lush green grass growing on both sides of the strait. Now in June, the grass is the time to flourish.

But Wang Hua ordered Xue Song to do one thing, and built a dike upstream of the Pink River. There were mostly dangerous mountains and ridges on both sides of the upstream. No matter how careful Dayan was, he would never go to any surprises. Moreover, it was a place where there were almost no people. Only a dozen hunting hunters lived, so Wang Hua ordered people to move them.

Xue Song and his men patroled dozens of miles and began to build a dike when they were sure that no one else had ever done so. Because the river was not deep, this difficulty was not high. But they could not let it dry up. Once it dried up, it would always make people doubt it. It also lost its significance in this battle.

However, the preparation time for this battle was very early, so the cement was transported over and dozens of pipes were made. The dozens of pipes continued to release some water flow downstream. Then the dike was built on the pipeline, but a large amount of explosives were placed in the middle of the dike, and a thick layer of wax was applied to ensure that the water was not allowed to swell. Moreover, it was not one place. In fact, as long as there was no water in one place, the dike could be quickly exploded. It could not be dug by manpower. If the blocked flood could not quickly rush through the dike, it would make the other party alert. There was a long air-impermeable iron pipe on the explosives, and the iron pipe was filled with a fuse, which penetrated all the way to the top of the dike.

So although some procedures in this battle are very thrilling, they can be included in textbooks in terms of meticulousness, preparation, and strategy.

However, summer comes, when the water is huge, the snow water melted in the Qilian Mountains, the mountain torrents and rainwater are coming continuously. The river water upstream of the embankment immediately rises. Xue Song has to raise the embankment a little higher again.

This made Xue Song feel a little worried during his inspection. He doubted whether the embankment could not bear the pressure of the river as the river continued to rise, and immediately washed the embankment before the Tubo people arrived.

Thinking of this, he cursed Di Dayan in his heart, "What a shitty general, don't you know the reason why soldiers are so powerful?"

This is what he was worried about. In fact, the speed of Di Dayan was already very fast. A battle requires many things to prepare, not only to gather the army, but also to further inquire about the news. For example, check whether the map provided by Wei Kong is so accurate. Is there food in that valley? Is Wang Hua back and took away the generals.

The news came back, which also made him feel relieved. The scouts dared not go deeper, but it confirmed that the valley was very secret, and soldiers were closely guarding it. There were many large grain cellars in the valley, and the road leading to the outside of the valley had deep axle marks. Not only that, Wang Hua went to the Yinchuan Plain and took away the two confidant veterans of Kong Heizi and Gongsun Yun. He also made the final decision to send troops.

But Xue Song's annoyance gradually improved because the 10,000 Tubo troops were like thieves, hiding out at night and quietly touching Shanzhou.

At this time, Wang Hua was encountering a headache.

There was a serious conflict between the Xiangzheba family outside Lingzhou and the Mi surname of Zhaowu's ninth surname.

The Dangxiang people were not only forced by the Tubo people, but also migrated to Gansu, Ningxia and northern Shaanxi since the Han Dynasty. The migration began to increase from the Sui Dynasty. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that the migration was truly migrated from Qinghai to Gansu, Xia and Shaanxi due to the forced by the Tubo. The Tang Dynasty deliberately organized two large-scale official migrations and settlements.

Among the eight tribes of Dangxiang, the Zheba clan was not the largest, but they moved early and moved quickly. After moving to the more livable places such as Lingsui, the tribe gradually grew stronger, vaguely surpassing the other seven tribes. Outside Lingzhou City, they were also considered a large-scale fan.

He was not hostile to the King of Kuba family. Because of his fanning, even the battle to rehabilitate him may not exist, let alone the Xixia Kingdom of Zheba family hundreds of years later. Even the Song Dynasty, Wang Hua probably wouldn't appear in the long river of history again.

The other Mi surname should not be underestimated.

It is not necessarily the case that the people with the surname Mi in the world are Zhaowu Jiu. Now there are far more Han people with the surname Mi in the Tang Dynasty than those with the surname Mi in the Zhaowu Jiu. This surname was from the ancient Kang Kingdom. After being defeated by the Xiongnu, they moved to Central Asia and established nine small countries, including An, Cao, He, Kang, Shi, Mi, Shi, Huoxun, and Wudi. During the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, they also moved to Lingwu area in Longxi. The Americans still maintained the surname Mi, and some were changed to the surnames such as Zhang, Li, Tang, He Xinpei.

However, after the Mi surname entered Longxi, it developed and reproduced quickly, approaching the Wang surname in Longxi. There are also many surnames with Mi outside Lingzhou City.

This happened between these two tribes. The cause was a dispute between a pasture.

Although Lingzhou is surrounded by the river, its water resources are not abundant. From the south of Lingzhou City to Yanzhou, there are many Gobi Deserts. The main reason for this is overgrazing. Without vegetation, the soil and water system are fixed, the fertile land rapidly becomes Gobi and then desertified, and even has a large amount of saline-alkali land. As for many places in Qinghai and Gansu, the most severely affected is Nanhetao, and now a small-scale desert has appeared. But later it became the famous Kubuqi Desert, which is unimaginable to the herdsmen living in Nanhetao.

Moreover, because of the lack of war and chaos in the Tang Dynasty, these tribes grew rapidly. The more people the pastures, the faster the pastures were reduced. Even the imperial court opened a huge horse farm in this area. This led to a large number of disputes arising from pastures every year.

In the past, officials adopted a policy of comforting, and even turned a blind eye. I can't control it, so you can do it yourself. Whoever has the biggest fist will belong to whom.

But this accident was quite a big deal. Both were big surnames and had a large population. At first, they were slandered, and then a few young people started to fight and finally beat them up. Dozens of people died in this group fight. Although the Mi surname is Wang surnamed Longxi, there are not as many people in Lingzhou as Zheba clan. The group fight was a loss. According to the previous rules, this ranch belonged to Zheba clan.

But the elder surnamed Mi thought of someone, Comrade Xiaomi. The elder was very cunning. He did not directly persuade Xiaomi's parents, but encouraged Xiaomi's brothers to continue participating in the war. Another group fight, and Xiaomi's two brothers were beaten and injured.

This time, without the elder coming forward, Xiaomi's mother ran to Zhu Tong's residence and found Xiaomi and cried.

When Xiaomi heard about it, she rushed back to her parents' home immediately. One brother was slightly injured, and the other brother was a little disabled, and his thigh bone was broken. Fortunately, he was not in danger of life. But that's it. He didn't think about getting up after three or four months. Even if he got up, he might be disabled.

Xiaomi's mother immediately asked Xiaomi to avenge her brother. Xiaomi is not scary, but she has a big backer behind her. Although Zhu Tong did not have a formal official position, everyone knew that he was Wang Hua's right-hand man and his status was no less than that of Wang Hua's half of his master Kong Heizi.

Xiaomi didn't know the severity of the matter. She was in the same bloodline. Seeing that her brother was injured like this, she immediately found Zhu Tong.

Zhu Tong also found Wang Hua. It was not because of personal feelings, but because of other tribal conflicts, there was no big problem with these two tribal conflicts. On this land, such stories are staged almost every day, unless it can be stable in winter.

The main reason was that he saw the calculations of some people in the Mi family, and he deliberately wanted to drag himself into the water. If he didn't come forward, he would have to drag him down, and things might become more and more intense. If he was too big, not only would the two major tribes outside Lingzhou City have a greater conflict, but it would also cause conflicts between the Mi family and the Zheba clan in other places. This does not meet the purpose of Wang Hua's request for rapid and stable land in the eight states.

Regarding relatives, although I took Xiaomi as my concubine, I know how many new soldiers from Dangxiang are in the Blood Camp. Zhu Tong has not done any statistics, but it will not be less than 500 people.

Wang Hua also frowned after hearing this.

In the eight states, because there are many French sons, they can select outstanding soldiers and are not loyal to the Tang Dynasty. But the most troublesome thing is the national issue. Wang Hua is working hard to integrate ethnic groups and integrate all ethnic groups together. Don’t divide the Dangxiang people, Tuyuhun people, Tubo people, Shiwei people, Sogdians, and Turks. It is best to become Han people together. So before stability, we encourage national in-laws.

Naturally, he didn't want this to happen. Moreover, dozens of murders were all young and middle-aged people, which made him unbearable. These people were useful soldiers on the battlefield, and strong farmers on farming. They were also the most lacking resources now.

He didn't bring many soldiers, nor did he need to. With this group of mobs, he solved the problem with his own strength. Of course, he would not use force.

After sprinting for more than twenty miles to the south of the city, he came to the pasture. He saw two groups of people standing opposite each other like two cocks fighting, glaring at them. He also had some weapons in his hands, such as bows, arrows, knives and sticks. Wang Hua rode a horse and ran to the middle of the two groups, looked at both sides, and said unhappily: "Come here."

Very well-behaved, a few old men walked out from both sides.

Wang Hua brought not many people, only a dozen people, and there were two or three hundred people on both sides of the field. But who dared to do it? This was alone and came out of tens of thousands of troops in the palace (the difference was too far, but the people of Lingzhou all adopted this statement anyway. Some people suspected it, but then the old master took out the history books, and there were two vivid examples of the power of one person. Qi Yu, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, once raised a big tree. One person had absolutely no reinforcements and killed a thousand people away. Xue Rengui rushed in and out of the 200,000 people, let alone mentioned it. As a result, everyone believed this statement.)

Wang Hua looked at one of the oldest men and asked, "I'll ask you, when did you come to Lingzhou?"

The old man was also very frightened because he was from the Zheba clan. He heard that the Mi family had moved reinforcements, and the reinforcements were Zhu Tong. Thinking of the relationship between Zhu Tong and Wang Hua and injured Zhu Tong's two brothers-in-law, he thought that something bad was going to happen. Although there are more than 2,000 residents of the Zheba clan outside Lingzhou City, is this enough for people to stuff their teeth? It is not even enough for the young man in front of him to stuff their teeth.

So today, Mi sent someone to find a place, and he ordered the people of the tribe to endure it, otherwise the war would start again when Wang Hua arrived.

He replied carefully: "My ancestors arrived in Lingzhou very early."

Even a voice or an old man dares not claim to himself.

"So do you remember when you were a child, were the ranch outside Lingzhou City so nervous?" The old man seemed to be in his seventies, and the tension on the ranch was very slow. However, sixty or seventy years ago, the Tang Dynasty did not have that many people, and there were not so many Hu people who moved here, so Wang Hua asked this.

The old man thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Then how many grandchildren do you have?"

“I have seven.”

"You have seven grandchildren, so I'll ask you again, in a few decades, how many grandchildren do you have?"

The old man could not answer, but he understood Wang Hua's meaning. The population was getting bigger and bigger, and the ranch was getting more and more tense.

"Look at how many herdsmen can this pasture support?"

The old man glanced at him, Sifu for a moment, and replied, "It can feed about two or three hundred people."

The ranch was not small, otherwise it would not have caused disputes between the two surnames. In fact, it was the Zheba clan who was grazed together. But Zheba clan had greed first. But Wang Hua could not pursue them right or wrong. There was no justice. That person's fist was justified. Just like he had the greatest strength and had the most say in Lingzhou. This right was not his position, nor did he have any position, but mainly the army in his hands.

"So how many people will it support if it is replaced with arable land?"

The old man thought about it for a moment and replied, "There are thousands of people."

I also understood what Wang Hua meant. Wang Hua had been encouraging them to build water conservancy a few days ago. Wang Hua paid out the funds for the construction, but asked them to work hard to cultivate the Yinchuan Plain. But water conservancy has to wait until after autumn, and harvest has to wait until next autumn. What should I do in more than a year?

"I also ask you, how many people died and how many people were injured after the two fights?"

The old man didn't understand what Wang Hua meant now, so he replied carefully: "A fewer than 40 died, and I don't know the injured, there are about one hundred people."

"I can support two or three hundred people, but the casualties are nearly two hundred. Is it worth it?"

The old man was stammeringly unable to answer.

Wang Hua then said, "Everyone wait, it will be easier next year. I was about to call everyone to talk about a problem. Some tribes are very poor, especially some people. I can provide you with some support, but how do you ensure that these materials are truly distributed to the poor and helpless tribesmen?"

According to Tang Dynasty, dozens of murderers may be pulled out and asked for a Autumn Hou to kill, and all the questions will be settled. But Wang Hua cannot do this, not only these two tribes, but other tribes cannot do this. So he is now eager for the upcoming battle to happen. After this battle, he will form a shock shot for all tribes, so that he will truly have the right to speak. But now it is not possible, so he will still focus on appeasement.

The old man is not a fool. Wang Hua has the most money. After arriving in Qinzhou, he took out nearly ten million yuan of subsidies, which benefited almost the entire Lingnan people. Besides, how can he guarantee the land of these eight states? But he couldn't answer.

Slapping your chest, swearing, and swearing, that is a trick for children. Does Wang Hua believe it?

At this time, Wang Hua suddenly had an idea and said, "There is another thing that I am just about to call you to discuss. Now you are so idle that you can kill dozens of young people for a ranch. There is a chance."

The old man was stunned. Why did Wang Hua have such a slutty saying "The Pain"? He didn't know that Wang Hua was actually very angry. If he hadn't considered the overall situation, he immediately ordered people to arrest all the hundreds of them, and each of them beat them thirty, and there would be no problem.

The old man asked, "What opportunity?"

"I will immediately pass an order that all tribes can send the best disciples of the tribe to join our blood camp. If the war comes, the spoils you harvest will be distributed to this tribe based on their merits and number of soldiers. The first batch will be executed immediately, and it will take two days."

After this order is executed, many tribes will be truly tied to his chariot. Zhu Tong nodded secretly after hearing this.

But the battle was about to begin, so Wang Hua said that in two days, he would not be able to keep up with a good show any later.

After saying that, Wang Hua said again: "That's it, I will provide some subsidies for the injured and dead families. This ranch is still the same as before, and you all own it together. If anyone takes action first, I will be rude to anyone."

When they heard that Wang Hua paid for the pension out of his own pocket, the people from both sides felt embarrassed when they heard this. Several elders nodded.

This matter was finally resolved, but Wang Hua received a piece of information after returning to Lingzhou.

His brows pounded, and he felt a little happy, and the fish entered the net.

ps: a little later, but the third update is here.

I deleted some comments. Although I knew some of them were kind suggestions, I promised to give everyone a comfortable life in this volume. In order not to affect my mood, I deleted it accidentally. Don’t blame me.
