"General, in the future, there will be no Xianbei on this grassland?" Looking at Xianbei, who fled in embarrassment, Wen Chou asked with some unfinished feelings.

"There is no Xianbei, there is Wuhuan to fight. After Wuhuan, there are Goguryeo and Buyeo to fight. Your Majesty has been planning the Western Regions since two years ago, and the Qiang and Wusun, Yue and Nanban are all within our attack range. Huang Zhong shook his head, "With Your Majesty's meaning, our journey will never end, and the territory of the Han Dynasty is boundless!" ”

I really thought that he couldn't see that Wen Chou deliberately let go of some Xianbei routs. Raising thieves is one of the means used by generals to protect themselves, and if there is really no enemy, they are also worried that there will be no way to obtain military achievements in the future.

What I am really afraid of is that His Majesty wants to 'fly all the birds and hide the good bow'.

"Emperor Wu was like this at the beginning, the last edict of his own sin, everything is over." Wen Chou also knew that Huang Zhong was reprimanding him, but he couldn't help but refute it.

"We are not the same as the situation during the period of Emperor Wu!" When Huang Zhong heard this, he smiled and explained, "We already have measures to deal with the severe cold weather, and at the same time, we have found crops that can be grown in the grassland. For us, the grassland is no longer a dispensable place, and we can already survive here. ”

In the early days, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty seized a lot of cattle, sheep and horses, and even slaves of the Xiongnu. Later, because the Huns became fewer and fewer, it became more and more difficult to find, and the consumption of materials and troops began to gradually exceed the harvest.

In addition, it is not suitable for farming, and the winter is much colder than in the Central Plains, so naturally no one will want to live here. In other words, Emperor Wu's war against the Xiongnu was pure invasion and plunder, and he did not intend to conquer the other party.

Seeing that there is not much to gain, it is natural to stop. At the same time, some Confucian disciples also believe that invading and plundering others is also unethical. If others have been convinced, then they should proclaim the king's prestige instead of continuing to use force.

However, it is essentially because the grassland is not suitable for cultivation and habitation.

Now that His Majesty has solved this problem, why not continue to fight since he can expand his territory?

Even if those big families are unwilling to come, as long as they promise to come here, they will give as many acres of land as they want, then there will naturally be a large number of people who are willing to take the risk to come. After all, the Chinese people's desire for land is incomprehensible to other ethnic groups.

"Can you live in a place like the Western Regions where the wind and sand are rolling and you can't grow anything at all?" Pound pondered.

"Remember the drip irrigation that Yunzhong County tried? There are also many oases in the Western Regions, there are also rivers, build enough reservoirs, and even water cellars for rainwater......" Huang Zhong thought for a while, "Anyway, Your Majesty will always have a way!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty is a disciple of the Immortal Family, what is the way?" Wen Chou laughed.

For His Majesty the Emperor, in fact, everyone is really convinced, he has only been on the throne for a few years, not only has he already dominated the world, but the problem of Xianbei has almost been solved.

Why is the grassland problem so difficult to solve? In the final analysis, they are the steppe peoples, who come and go without a trace, and may suddenly appear anywhere at any time, at any time.

The grasslands are uninhabitable and easily disoriented. There is no way to live in it, and it is troublesome to find an enemy to fight, and you have to be careful not to get lost, and it is easy to be attacked if you go too deep into the supply line.

In other words, if these problems are solved, it is not necessary to worry about Xianbei or other grassland peoples.

The combat power of the two sides is not on the same level at all, not to mention that the Han side has begun to have the ability to mount and shoot. With the scrolls, it's just pure bullying of children.

"Speaking of which, next time we deal with the Hu people, don't we use scrolls?" Wen Chou asked, "There is no actual feeling, and there is no tension." Continue, and it is possible to become numb to the war. ”

"The Heavenly Eye Technique is still required, and if you are in a hurry, the Divine Speed Technique is also essential...... Stone skins and armor can be dispensed with, morale can be left unnecessary, and despair and weakness can be dispensed with. Huang Zhong thought about it, and indeed if he continued like this, he would lose the nervousness and caution that the war should have.

After all, if you encounter any enemy, just fill up the scroll directly, and then rush over in one go, it's too easy.

Besides, the strength of the Han army cannot all be pinned on the scroll, so it is not so much the martial arts of the Han army as the immortal magic of the Han emperor. These generals really don't have much sense of accomplishment.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, if Your Majesty's immortal law has no successors, and Your Majesty will have no scrolls to use after a hundred years, what should the army do when the last scroll is used up?

"Until the railroad and outpost are established, there is really no way to use the Heavenly Eye Technique and the Divine Speed Technique." Wen Chou and Pound also agreed with this view.

"Well, the count is almost over, and it seems that there is no way to continue the march tonight, so set up camp here and rest for the night. Tomorrow, go over and join up with a few other roads. Huang Zhong immediately ordered.

"Whoa!" The other two generals looked at the sky, and it was indeed not suitable to continue the journey, so they immediately went down to make arrangements.

The news of the great victory on this side of the grassland also reached Luoyang a few days later. The soldiers who reported the victory shouted all the way, so that the people along the way could not believe their ears. Of course, for most people, there is not much concept of this news.

"Xianbei, that's it?" Only the scholars knew what this meant, "How could it be so easy?" ”

"Normal, isn't it?" Naturally, there are also people who understand, "A few years ago, Yuan Shao asked Xianbei's main force to go south to support, but didn't they all stay?" The grassland itself has little combat power, and it has been continuously looted by General Anbei and Pingbei in recent years...... Even if there is no this time, it is estimated that it will be almost gone in three or five years at most. ”

"But if it's really that simple, why can't you beat the other party before?" There are also people who don't understand.

"Stupid, when did you not win before? It's useless to just win......" Shao couldn't help but take out the remarks similar to Huang Zhong's words, and the surrounding scholars had a suddenly realized expression.

The news finally came to Liu Tao's imperial case, and when I saw the news, I was still a little incredulous, the huge Mongolian steppe was beaten down like this? Oh, and this period is not called the Mongolian steppe either...... In the follow-up construction of cities and counties, it is necessary to have another name.

If you think about it carefully, Xianbei only began to be known by the Han Dynasty in 45 AD, and it was only during the Huan Emperor period that it reached its peak. Coupled with some factors of internal friction, how much population can there be? Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, anyway, it will not exceed 10 million people, two or three million is possible.

"Slow, this number is not right...... Liu Tao calculated, there must be three or five hundred thousand.

"Some of them fled to the east, probably in the tens of thousands. In addition, according to the captives, there were 300,000 people who went to Wusun. Jian Yong had already done his homework and immediately replied when he heard the words.

"Oh...... That's right, you can't really fight to exterminate the dead race and fight with us......" Liu Tao suddenly said.
