Since he agreed to the family's request, Cao Chong naturally did not waste time.
After leaving the lobby, he immediately called Wang Shuang, as well as the middle-aged scribe beside Wang Shuang, Yang Xiu.
In the closed study, the three of them sat opposite each other, and after half an hour, Yang Xiu and Wang Shuang left the study, while Cao Chong still stayed in the study.
After Yang Xiu and Wang Shuang left the study, they immediately went to the barracks and dispatched 30,000 soldiers, of which 5,000 were cavalry and 25,000 foot soldiers.
Yang Xiu and Wang Shuang's army was ready to go, except for Ling Humei, representatives of families like Cao Shuo took their own guards, followed Wang Shuang and Yang Xiu's buttocks, and went in the direction of Jiuquan Dunhuang.
The army that followed Wang Shuangyang Xiu was naturally for the sake of their safety.
The three counties of Liangzhou have encountered the Qiang Rebellion, although the main force has left, but the Xianbei people of the grassland are still left in it, they are three by two, if they don't pay attention, they will really be swallowed up by them.
Not only that, the people of the three counties of Liangzhou were plundered by the Qianghu people, in order to fight against the Qianghu people, the people will naturally get some arms, at first the people are just to protect their personal safety, but after a while, after tasting the kuàigǎn of robbery, these armed people are likely to directly become thieves.
In war-torn places, it is easy to produce bandits, and from a certain point of view, it is not unreasonable for poor mountains and bad waters to produce troubled people.
If the representatives of the family only returned to Jiuquan Dunhuang in twos and threes, they might become the food of those barbarians on the road, or they would be directly looted by the bandits.
Moreover, the representatives of the family followed Wang Shuangyang Xiu's army, in addition to seeking protection, more to supervise this army, in other words, the family did not believe in Cao Chong's personality.
In his opinion, Cao Chong is as wise as a demon, and when Dunhuang County in Jiuquan County suffered from the Qiang Rebellion, he may not be willing to sincerely rescue, which can be seen from the fact that he dealt with the family as soon as he came to Liangzhou.
And someone with Cao Shuo's identity followed behind him, if Yang Xiu and Wang Shuang dared to procrastinate, Cao Shuo and the others would inevitably make him unable to procrastinate.
This is the Maison's plan.
Of course, if Cao Chong knew about the family's plan, he would probably just smile.
He really had no intention of delaying, but his plan was more threatening than delaying the family of Dunhuang County in Jiuquan County.
An army left Guzang and headed for the distance, but Cao Chong, who remained in Guzang, was not idle for a day.
Wuwei was invaded by Qianghu, and it is good to say that some villages in the city have suffered.
Even a few days earlier, Cao Chong had sent people to the villages to take refuge in other counties, or in the city of Guzang.
Cao Chong naturally had a notice, but whether those people were willing to leave or not was another matter.
The Chinese people have always been relocated to their land, and it is not a simple matter to ask them to leave the place where they were born and raised.
And the injuries suffered by Wuwei County this time, in addition to the casualties of the soldiers, were more caused by these people.
If a person dies, he must deal with it in time, otherwise, Wuwei may break out of the plague, if it is yibàof, with the technology of this era, it will basically lose half a life.
Cao Chong didn't want to be separated because of a plague, and he didn't want the people he cared about to go with him.
Therefore, the post-war clean-up work was imperative.
Of course, in addition to disposing of the corpses, there are also those Qianghu people or Xianbei people who are still in Wuwei, or the people who have become thieves, they also have to be dealt with together.
Cao Chong is glad that the terrain of Wuwei is relatively open, and there are no huge deep mountains, if there is, then the matter of the thief will not be solved in a day or two.
These are important things, but there is more to it than that.
The wheat field was trampled and damaged, and some remedies had to be done to stop the loss.
And there is also the pacification of refugees, the resumption of production, the restoration of social order This strip, basket by basket, directly pressed Cao Chong firmly into the study, and he couldn't move.
Fortunately, Guo Xiao Zhuge Liang is helping him deal with these things, otherwise, Cao Chong would really be annoyed by these things.
By now, Cao Chong finally understood why the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were so smart, but they gave power to the eunuchs, didn't they know the consequences of the eunuchs taking power Of course they know the downsides, but why do they do it anyway It's annoying These things, big and small, are simply annoying, and few people can endure such boring and boring handling of official documents day after day, except for those who have sufficient physical strength and energy.
But Cao Chong is not a figure like the carpenter emperor, he still needs to be hard to strike iron, and handling official business here can be regarded as laying a good foundation for the future.
It's not easy to govern a county, let alone a country Thinking of this, Cao Chong also patiently handled official business.
In early spring, the grass grows and the warbler flies.
Looking at the endless grassland like a huge painting spread out between heaven and earth, so pure, so far away, it is really impossible to describe in words.
Looking around, the eyes are full of green, unobstructed.
Projected his gaze over, he couldn't find a point to focus on, the four fields were vast, boundless, and there was a feeling of being hollowed out in his heart.
This is a still ocean, which makes people feel a little panicked and make people reverie infinitely.
However, in this world full of life and green, there is a quiet black torrent that walks silently, with their heads bowed or raised, holding a ring-headed knife or a black iron spear in their hands.
The horses were also a little overwhelmed, snorting hot air from their noses, but their steps did not slow down much.
The grassland was quiet and terrible, and at the front of the line, a general in armor with a somewhat restrained face frowned, as if thinking about something, and behind the young general, two men dressed as scribes, one riding a tall horse, followed closely behind the young general.
This group of men and horses is naturally the vanguard army of Cao Chong's Pingyue Branch.
Feng Wolf Juxu, this is what Huo Quai's Wei Qing has done, and it is the greatest glory in the life of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and there is no one.
Five thousand men and horses rushed to attack the Yuezhi City, although it was not a wolf seal, but if the Yuezhi City could be leveled, it would definitely be a great achievement.

The general of this vanguard army is Jiang Wei, and the two military advisors are Sun Zi Liu Fang.
Needless to say, Sun Zi and Liu Fang's ability is naturally not to mention, Jiang Wei is also brave and strategic, and it is still more reassuring that Cao Chong handed over the attack mission to these three people.
Since the king of Xiqiang began to attack the city of Hugh, Cao Chong asked Jiang Wei to send troops, and now, he has been running on the uninhabited grassland for five days.
Of course, it is said that it is a grassland without people, but it is naturally not, here in the Xianbei grassland in Hexi, Jiang Wei met a lot of ragged Xianbei people.
These Xianbei people did not dare to attack the Han people, and did not dare to resist the Xiqiang king, after the food was robbed, they could only obediently wait for death, and were devoured by the wolves of the grassland, and there was no second way to go.
However, if they can hunt the prey of the grasslands, they may not be able to survive.
However, the grassland has been exploited by the Xianbei Huns for so many years, how can there be wild prey, unless you dare to attack the wolves.
When Jiang Wei encountered these Xianbei people, he directly sent people to rush over and kill them.
If your whereabouts are exposed, this is a big deal, not to mention, if you are not my Han people, you are like beasts, killing these Xianbei people, killing these Qianghu, is no different from killing chickens and ducks.
After five days of running, he was gradually about to reach Yuezhi City, and Jiang Wei knew that he was only one day's journey away from Yuezhi City at most.
Whether or not Yuezhi City can be defeated and sealed like Huo Quai's illness is still unknown.
Jiang Wei didn't know how many Qianghu there were in Yuezhi City, but since the prince sent him over, it was naturally impossible for him to send him to death.
Jiang Wei exhaled slowly, grabbed the reins with his hand, and moved faster and faster.
The king of Xiqiang was wreaking havoc in the three counties of Liangzhou, and he would have beaten down the Yuezhi City earlier.
In case he was fighting Yuezhi City, and then suddenly killed the army of King Xiqiang from behind, this is called a funny.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wei's eyes lit up a little, he turned his head to look at the silent soldiers behind him, and then turned his head back.
Since the prince and marquis treated himself like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to Huo Quai, then he can't let the prince down.
Isn't it just stepping on the Pingyue branch city?
I, Jiang Wei, will definitely do it There was a Han army marching on the wide grassland, and in Dunhuang County, Jiuquan County, after a day's march, the 30,000 people brought by Wang Shuangyang Xiu finally arrived in Jiuquan County.
Jiuquan County, Jiuquan County was placed in 121 BC.
It has jurisdiction over the hometown of the Xiongnu Hutu King and the Hun Evil King west of the Yellow River.
It is the earliest county established among the four counties in Hexi.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty divided Jiuquan County into Dunhuang County in the west of the Yuan Ding Dynasty in the sixth year.
It is named because "there is a golden spring under the city, and its water is like wine".
Jiuquan County is located in Lufu, leading 9 counties: Lufu, Anmi, Huishui, Leyun, Biaoshi, Yumen, Yanshou, Ganqi, and Shatou.
And when the army left, it was already Lufu, the governing place of Jiuquan County.
Lufu still looks like a small town, but the scene outside Lufu is not very good.
Compared with Wuwei, Jiuquan is more than Wuwei because of the lack of troops, because the degree of damage is more than Wuwei.
Looking at this messy appearance, Yang Xiu and Wang Shuang glanced at each other, but did not speak.
However, the ultimate goal of the two is not Jiuquan.
Before Lufu, these Jiuquan families returned to their homes one after another, as for whether they were crying or making trouble, it was not something that Wang Shuangyang Xiu wanted to know.
After these people left the team, Wang Shuang and Yang Xiu's army got the grain and grass armor of Jiuquan County, and went to Dunhuang in a hurry, but along the way, Yang Xiu and Wang Shuang would give them some grain and grass as long as they encountered those people who were in distress.
If this food can not be taken away by others, it will certainly not be difficult for them to live.
But how is this possible if this food is not taken away?
You must know that the grain and grass that King Yang Xiu divided between him and Wang were all taken from the Jiuquan family, and as the overlord of Jiuquan County, they would not take back the grain Absolutely In fact, Cao Chong asked Wang Shuang and Yang Xiu to do such a thing, which had no other effect than wasting grain and grass.
Is this really the case for a waste of food and grass?
Of course not Of course, Cao Chong will lose some grain and grass.
But Cao Chong was not short of grain, but in the Dongcang of Wuwei County, although the grain and grass in it would not fill the Dongcang, it would not be a problem for Wuwei to survive this year's difficulties.
Cao Chong had only one use for the grain and grass he asked for from Dunhuang County, Jiuquan County, that is, to buy the hearts of the people of Dunhuang County, Jiuquan County.
A little grain and grass is the only proof for the people to live, and when these families take away all the means to survive, guess what the people will do You are going to kill people, and you will not be allowed to kill you who will kill them for the sake of survival?
At this time, of course, these people will think of Cao Chong, who distributed grain and grass to them.
After all, when distributing food, Cao Chong always asked the soldiers to expose their homes.
Seeing Wang Shuangyang Xiu with this appearance, Cao Shuo was naturally so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
If it is a big family in Dunhuang County, Jiuquan County, such as the Jiuquan Huang family of the Cao family in Dunhuang, of course they will not care about the little food distributed by Luoyang Hou in the hands of those refugees.
However, the Dunhuang Cao family, what the Jiuquan Huang family can't look at, many small families in Dunhuang County, Jiuquan County can't look at it.

Cao Shuo knew that even if he strictly forbade it, the families who were used to bullying would definitely not be soft on these refugees.
In the end, the Marquis of Luoyang will complete his conspiracy No, it is a conspiracy.
It's just that he can't do anything about Luoyang Hou's conspiracy, which is what Cao Shuo is most discouraged about.
Distributing food all the way, the team naturally walked slowly, but Cao Shuo couldn't find an excuse to urge Wang Shuangyang Xiu, he distributed food to the people, it's hard to say anything And what made Cao Shuo even more unhappy happened later.
The refugees in Jiuquan County knew that Luoyang Hou distributed food, and almost all the refugees from all counties in the county came.
Originally, the hundreds of truckloads of grain and grass behind Wang Shuangyang Xiu actually shrank by more than half.
Every time this grain is less, it proves that a common people have received food, and it proves that if the Marquis of Luoyang wants to seize Jiuquan in the future, his strength will be stronger.
It was only now that Cao Shuo was deeply afraid of Cao Chong.
Originally, Cao Shuo thought that Cao Chong was as wise as a demon, but after all, he was young and would not play with people's hearts, let alone manipulate the power of the people, but now, Cao Shuo admitted that he was wrong, and he was very wrong.
This Luoyang Hou is really terrifying If Cao Chong knew that Cao Shuo thought of him like this, it is estimated that Cao Chong would just smile and not speak.
As a descendant who knows the 5,000-year-old history of China, I still know the saying that the people are the water and the king is the boat.
Even in later generations, in the era of thermal weapons, human power cannot be ignored, let alone the age of cold weapons.
It can only be said that this Cao Shuo has lived for so many years, but he has not lived a good life.
So, in the gritted teeth of the representatives of the Dunhuang family, the army rushed towards Dunhuang.
Jiuquan is much smaller than Wuwei, so even if the army marches while distributing food, after half a day, the army still passes through the Yumen Pass, and Dunhuang is already in sight.
Dunhuang County, a stewed Huang County, the name of the county, also known as Jinchang County, the Han Dynasty in the same year Wuwei, Jiuquan two counties, Dunhuang area under the jurisdiction of Jiuquan County.
Divide Wuwei, Jiuquan two counties, set up Zhangye, Dunhuang two counties, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Yuan Ding six years divided into the west of Jiuquan County.
Dunhuang County, governing Dunhuang County, is in the west of present-day Dunhuang.
It belongs to the Liangzhou Thorn History Department.
The original Dunhuang was only a very small county, but it developed rapidly, leading six counties: Dunhuang, Ming'an, Xiaogu, Yuanquan, Guangzhi, and Longle.
It is bounded by Duanshui and Jiuquan County in the east.
Dunhuang is grand, and it was the place where the Dayue clan lived at the end of the Qin and early Han dynasties.
The Houyue clan was chased by the Xiongnu, and the Dunhuang area became the territory of the evil king.
Until Ban Chao of the Eastern Han Dynasty, who operated the Western Regions for life, begged the imperial court to return to his hometown in his twilight years, and still said: "The minister does not dare to look at Jiuquan County, but he wishes to be born in Yumen Pass."
After many years of operation, Dunhuang is much bigger than Jiuquan County.
Not long after entering Dunhuang County, after passing the Valley of Tranquility, Wang Shuangyang Xiu was finally able to see the traces of the Qianghu people.
Except for Cao Shuo, everyone else has returned to their own family's sphere of influence, as for why Cao Shuo didn't go back, in addition to his confidence in the Dunhuang Cao family, more is that he can't go back now if he wants to.
Dunhuang City is now besieged by the King of Xiqiang Fortunately, there are more people left in Dunhuang County than in Jiuquan County, otherwise, the damage suffered in Dunhuang County will be similar to that of Jiuquan County, but even so, the eye-catching scene still makes Cao Shuo sad.
The village was originally smoke-drenched, but only ruins and a few wisps of smoke showed that it was once inhabited.
A few days ago, it was a place where birds and flowers were singing Cao Shuo sighed and turned his head to look at Wang Shuang and Yang Xiu.
When they arrived in Dunhuang County, after passing the Yumen Pass, Wang Shuang and Yang Xiu also became calm, there were refugees in Dunhuang, but Wang Shuang and Yang Xiu only divided 5,000 people to distribute food here, and the others hurried to Dunhuang City.
Seeing this scene, Cao Shuo's originally not very good mood finally got better.
Of course, if Cao Shuo knew that it was Wang Shuangyang Xiu who was afraid that King Xiqiang would escape and let the loot in their hands fly away in vain, then his mood at the moment would be different.
The army rushed forward in a hurry, led by the ironclad cavalry.
After reforming the armor, the cavalry armor and sword soldiers are definitely much stronger than this group of Qianghu, and five thousand cavalry can look at each other, not to mention the large trophies in the hands of these Qianghu people, they are all unstable, and they can still confront Cao Chong's cavalry The truth in this is like the Hunan army of Zeng Guofan.
The Hunan army broke the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom back then, and if Zeng Guofan was willing, he could even replace the Qing court, which was not a fictitious thing.
At that time, because the Hunan army often won battles, Zeng Guofan's subordinates were basically at the level of feudal officials later, and if Zeng Guofan was willing, it was not a lie to take the Qing court and replace him.
It's a pity that Zeng Guofan only wants to be a saint, not a hero.
In order to relieve the worries of the court, he took the initiative to ask for the Hunan army to be cut.
Of course, this is just a literal reason, and there is another important reason, because the Hunan army at that time could no longer afford to fight.
So much so that even a small twist army could not be pacified.
The Hunan army was able to defeat the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at that time, but later it was entangled by the Twist army, and it can only be said that the Hunan army has been completely corrupted.
What can corrupt an army, that's money.
Money that can't be spent in a lifetime, since your money can't be spent in a lifetime, then you still have to fight for life and death Later, the Hunan army's combat effectiveness was low, which was precisely for this reason.
And the current Qianghu is the later Hunan army.

With countless loot in his hands, Qiang Hu, who can live for the next life, how dare he fight hard The five thousand cavalry of the Luoyang Marquis Mansion charged forward and moved forward At this time, the big tent of King Xiqiang was full of boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and there were several beautiful family girls trembling around him.
In front of the king of Xiqiang, there is a table full of dazzling wine and food, if you look carefully, you will know that this is not Qianghu's beef and mutton, but the wine and food of the Han family.
King Xiqiang plundered tens of thousands of Han people, from all walks of life.
There are beauties who warm the bed, and of course there are cooks, dancing miki, and bell and drum musicians.
Just when King Xiqiang was holding the beauty in his arms, drinking the wine in his hand, and eating the dishes in front of the table, the big tent was suddenly opened, and the music stopped immediately.
Seeing this scene, King Xiqiang frowned, looked at the people who came over, and when he saw that the person who came was Prince Xiangli, his brows gradually relaxed.
"Xiangli, don't you see that this king is drinking, what are you doing at this time, is it that Dunhuang City has been captured?"
Seeing the king of Xiqiang like this, Prince Xiangli frowned, but thinking that he was his father, Prince Xiangli lowered his head, saluted King Xiqiang, and said: "Father, the people in Dunhuang City are like turtles, where can they be captured in a short time, as for the son who came to see his father in a hurry at this time, there is an urgent military report. ” Urgent military debriefing King Xiqiang was stunned for a moment, he pushed out the person in his arms, put down the wine glass, looked directly at Prince Xiangli, and asked, "Emergency military situation" Prince Xiangli nodded and said, "In the direction of Jiuquan, we found a cavalry of about 5,000 people, and the leader of the fire wolf and his cavalry have already fought with those 5,000 people. ” "There are only 5,000 people, what kind of emergency military situation is it" "Father, these 5,000 cavalry are obviously the vanguard, what we have to face next is the main force of the Han people, father, we have got a lot of things in Liangzhou, so much that we are almost unable to take it, it is better to withdraw at this time, and we will come to Liangzhou again next year" Withdraw first King Xiqiang's brows furrowed.
"Dunhuang City is the richest city in Liangzhou, there are countless beauties, countless food, countless jewelry, we have been attacking for a day, if we give up now, then, our warriors who are attacking the city will not die in vain."
Prince Xiangli saluted to King Xiqiang and said, "Father, they didn't die in vain, they died for immortality, Father, when you can't be angry now, please make a decision as soon as possible." ” It's not the time to be rash King Xiqiang looked at the beauties of the Han family beside him, looked at the fine wine and dishes on the table, looked at the boxes of gold jewelry piled up around him, and looked at the magic weapons on the sword rack, and his eyes gradually sharpened.
"What do you mean by not being rash, Xiangli, if I listened to that guy from Ugt a few days ago, can I get these things, beauty, food, jewelry, can I get it?"
King Xiqiang looked at Prince Xiangli and lowered his head, and continued: "If you want to learn that Uget, you can also leave, we are the people of Immortal Heaven, we are not afraid of the Han people, we are not afraid, you know" Prince Xiangli sighed, put his right hand on his chest, bowed his head and bowed to King Xiqiang, and then retreated.
It's just that when he retreated, Prince Aisato's footsteps were a little heavy.
Out of the big tent of the king of Xiqiang, the thin prince Tuoba stepped up and asked Prince Xiangli, "Brother, what does my father say?"
Prince Sori glanced sideways at Prince Tuoba and didn't say anything, just shook his head.
Prince Tuoba has always been his rival, and the relationship between the two is naturally not very good, Prince Xiangli is willing to nod to Prince Tuoba, which is the best show of favor to Prince Tuoba.
Seeing Prince Xiangli's shaking of his head, Prince Tuoba immediately understood what Prince Xiangli meant.
The corners of his mouth hooked, his eyes glowed slightly, and after saluting Prince Xiangli's chest, he went to the big tent.
Prince Xiangli always felt very dangerous when he saw the curvature of the corners of Prince Tuoba's mouth.
Could it be that this younger brother of his own has to do something again Prince Aisato shook his head and decided that he didn't want any of this.
A long, long time ago, Prince Aisato knew that he couldn't guess his brother's thoughts.
Perhaps, this younger brother of his own found some benefit in his nod just now As for what the benefits are, Prince Aizato doesn't want to know.
So in the end, Prince Inori shook his head, but went back to his tent.
Now, he has a lot of things to do.
First of all, we must cooperate with the leader of the fire wolf to eat the five thousand people, and then block the reinforcements behind, knock down Dunhuang City in the fastest time, snatch the contents inside, and then rush out of Dunhuang.
The thought of doing so many steps, and doing something for so long, Prince Aisato's brows furrowed.
Things don't look promising.
Thinking that King Xiqiang had rejected his request before, Prince Xiangli could only let out a long sigh.
At this time, in the big tent, Prince Tuoba saluted to the king of Xiqiang and said, "My son heard that his father does not want to withdraw from Dunhuang County. ” King Xiqiang put down the wine glass, and his brows furrowed.
"Why, do you think this king did something inappropriate?"
Compared with Prince Tuoba, King Xiqiang prefers Prince Xiangli, and this difference can be reflected in the tone of his speech.
For example, now, the tone of the king of Xiqiang towards the prince of Tuoba is not very kind.
Prince Tuoba automatically skipped a somewhat unkind tone towards King Xiqiang, and a few sunny smiles appeared on the corners of his mouth.
"The son doesn't think what his father did was wrong."
Hearing Prince Tuoba's words, King Xiqiang sighed and looked a little surprised.
"Well, you agree with the decision of the Father."
Prince Tuoba nodded and said: "A hundred years ago, the Han people were just two-legged sheep, but the Xiongnu alone in the straw bale, will make the Han people bigger, we are the people of the immortal sky, are the invincible warriors of the grassland, how can we be afraid of these Han people, let alone say that there are reinforcements, that is, all the Han people in Liangzhou appear in front of the son, and the son is willing to fight with them." ” Even though he knows that this son of mine has a lot of eyes and nine out of ten words are false, he always feels pleasant when he hears the words in his ears.
"Well said, you're much better than your brother in this regard."
Hearing this compliment, Prince Tuoba's face remained unchanged, and King Xiqiang was happy, and Prince Tuoba also said the words later.
"Father, since he wants to deal with the Han people, the son is willing to guard the east for his father, let the Han people, and definitely let the Han people not advance an inch."
King Xiqiang thought for a moment and nodded.
"Yes, but the east must be the direction of the Han people's main attack, you have to be careful, don't lose your life."
Prince Tuoba lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly.
"My son understands."
Prince Tuoba's tone was very low, but where King Xiqiang couldn't see, Prince Tuoba's eyes shone with a strange light
