The main army of Xianbei was completely annihilated, and the main leaders were also killed by Guo Peng.

Only Sully survived.

Guo Peng let him live, in fact, to satisfy his bad taste, in order to taste the pleasure brought by this victory for a longer time.

He wanted Su Li to live in front of his eyes, and whenever he saw Su Li, not only himself, but also others would immediately remember his great achievements.

So he declared Su Li the loyal and righteous marquis of the Wei Empire, and henceforth lived in Luoyang forever, holding an official position in the Ministry of Rites.

He is responsible for appearing as the lead dancer at important public events, leading everyone to dance together, and showing off his superb dancing skills in any occasion that Guo Peng wants to see.

All in all, Guo Peng needed to change his career, from the head of the Xianbei regime to a great dance artist, to show his moving posture in front of all the high-ranking members of the Wei Empire.

That's the meaning of Suli's existence.

All the living Xianbei people witnessed the end of Xianbei, and they were told that they would lose the Xianbei pronoun forever and be replaced by permanent slavery.

They will become slaves, professional slaves of the Wei Empire, driven by the Wei Empire, to contribute to the construction of the Wei Empire, and become great laborers rather than predators.

The people of Hebei exhausted their savings and strength in order to help the Wei Empire crusade against them, so in order to repay the people of Hebei, the Wei Empire had to reduce taxes, rest with the people, and stop requisitioning the people of Hebei for project repairs.

But these things have to be done, and the people of Hebei need to rest, but the country cannot stop functioning.

Therefore, someone must take on this responsibility and continue to contribute to the construction of the Wei Empire.

So, who are the lucky people who are lucky enough to be qualified to take on this responsibility?

There is no doubt that it is this Xianbei people who have more than 400,000 left.

They will devote themselves to the construction of the new era of the Wei Empire, contribute to the construction of the new era, become great laborers, and contribute in place of the people of Hebei.

The Wei Empire will continue to gently squeeze them until the last vestiges of their energy and vitality are squeezed clean, just as the shameless capitalists squeeze the surplus value of the workers.

Of course, it is not without good news, the good news is that they will no longer have to face the brutal battlefield, and they will never have the opportunity to go to war again.

They will live here for the rest of their lives, until they die.

Maybe it's a little cruel, but who made them the rebels of the Wei Empire?

Since it is a rebellion, there is a price, and if rebellion does not have to pay a price, then anyone can be rebellious.

It's the price they need to pay.

As a result, Guo Peng's prestige as the emperor of Wei reached its peak.

On the fifth day of the eighth month, the day after Guo Peng held the Zen sealing ceremony, he left the main force in the camp of Langjuxu Mountain, and then led an escort army composed of 3,000 forbidden troops and 2,000 normal troops to the north to carry out a symbolic pursuit and northern expedition.

For the Emperor, what he had to do had already been done, but in order to gain further prestige, he would go further north, beyond the limits of his predecessors, and create new limits.

Break the past and create the future.

He crossed the Wolf Juxu Mountain, continued to the north, continued to eat on the empty grassland, and continued to the north, representing the entire Wei Empire to continue to the north, in order to show that the ambition has never faded.

At this moment, the Wei generals who pursued the Xianbei people north included Cao Chun, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, and they each led the army in one direction and marched in unison.

They brought more than 30,000 troops in total, and Guo Peng brought another 5,000.

Although Guo Peng knew that he would not gain anything, there was no need to gain anything.

Nanlou was fortunate to follow Guo Peng to participate in this [Northern Expedition] operation, he was very excited, and along the way he was describing to Guo Peng the heroic posture of the Wei army charging into battle, and he was very yearning.

Then he mentioned more than once that he also wanted to have such brave men, and then led them to fight with His Majesty the Emperor to the ends of the earth.

Guo Peng simply smiled and nodded, thinking that it was okay.

"For those who are obedient to Lone, Lone is not in need, Karasuma has made a great contribution to my Wei, so if you have any difficulties and needs, you can mention them to Lone, if Lone can do it, he will definitely not be stingy with that little money."

With Guo Peng's permission, Nanlou was even happier.

Guo Peng went all the way to the north, and Cao Chun and others also went all the way to the north.

After accepting the overall command, Cao Hong, Li Dian and Zhang Fei will be together, and Guan Yu and Cao Chunhui will be together.

The two armies were like two big hands, attacking straight towards the Xianbei people who had no idea what was about to happen.

After the main force of Xianbei went south to resist the Northern Expedition of the Wei army, hundreds of thousands of old and weak women and children and a few strong men in Xianbei went all the way north, at a relatively slow pace, so that they could know the situation on the front line at any time and see whether they should continue to the north or turn around and go home.

If you are defeated, you will continue to go north to survive, and if you are victorious, you will turn around and go back to enjoy the glory and wealth and the big house of the Han people, choose one of the two, it is very simple.

There are still more than 5,000 young and strong soldiers who protect the old and weak and maintain order by the way, which can be said to be the last force to maintain the existence of the Xianbei regime.

said that it was going north, but in fact, no one wanted to really go north, and no one was happy to leave their homes if they lived well, but I heard that the Wei people were too fierce, and if they didn't go north, they were afraid of being wiped out, so they had to go north.

The farther north you go, the cooler it gets, and all kinds of supplies begin to be in short supply, especially food, a large number of cattle and sheep are taken away to turn into military rations, and there are very few things left for the old and weak women and children, and each person is rationed every day.

Eat a little more, because it can protect everyone and maintain order, women, children and the elderly who can't fight should eat a little less, leaving more food for the strong man.

Of course, there were people who were hungry and couldn't eat for a long time, so they were resentful, and there were people who tried to make trouble and wanted to go back to the south, but they were all arrested and killed.

In terms of maintaining order, this is still the most straightforward approach, so no one dares to make trouble again.

But in the final analysis, food is not enough, continue to go north like this, it is difficult to find a place with abundant water and grass, it is difficult to settle down, hundreds of thousands of people are a huge group, after all, they have to eat to survive.

Therefore, the old people in charge also hoped that Su Li and Fu Luohan's side could win the battle, and they could defeat the Wei army as soon as possible and win the victory, so that they could return to the south as soon as possible and continue to live a comfortable life.

The transmission of news was relatively slow, but it was probably known that almost ten days ago, they had just met the vanguard of the Wei people's Northern Expedition, and they were fighting with the vanguard, and the battle was relatively smooth.

The new news has not yet arrived, but everyone is full of hope for Suri and Korohan and the future of being able to return to the south.

"Although the Wei people are strong, we are not without the strength to resist, Lord Suri and Lord Fu Luohan are both warriors who are unique in ten thousand, and they will definitely be able to defeat the Wei people."

"Back then, we lost because we were unprepared, but this time we are prepared, and we will not fail."

"When Lord Tanshihuai is still there, we can suppress the Han people, and this time, we can also press the Wei people!"

"When we go back, let's go to the Great Wall together and go to the Wei people's house for the winter!"

A group of people with hope and courage from somewhere to come, bravely looked south, hoping to see the Xianbei cavalry who came to report the good news, hoping to learn the news of the complete defeat of the Wei people, just like the situation faced by Tanshi Huai back then.

That time, in the face of tens of thousands of Han cavalry, Tanshi Huai bravely responded to the battle and won a huge victory, laying the prestige of the Lord of Xianbei.

It's a pity that Tanshi Huai died too early and couldn't continue to take Xianbei to the prosperous world, but there was a great figure on the Han side, so that Xianbei needed to face today's situation.

But in this battle, maybe a new [Tanshi Huai] will emerge within Xianbei, and it can also lead the Xianbei people to a prosperous era and dominate the Central Plains.

How nice that would be.

They looked south as they walked north.

But the Xianbei cavalry they were waiting for to announce the good news were a group of black and oppressive Wei cavalry.

The Wei army is coming!
