Chu Tianxiu and Li Yu led 50,000 new troops, defeated a 10,000-strong Xiongnu army, killed 5,000 Xiongnu, and captured Shuofang City in one fell swoop.

When the army and the people of the counties in northern Xinjiang learned the news, the morale of the army and the people was greatly boosted, and the border people all cheered and boiled.

Since the first emperor Xiang Yanran failed in the northern expedition ten years ago, and after coming back, the banner has been silent for ten years, and Da Chu does not dare to take the initiative to raise troops again.

Even if the Xiongnu often attacked the border, and even sometimes burned near Chang'an, plundered the population and wealth in the border area, and robbed a large number of people and financial resources.

The Great Chu Dynasty also endured again and again, and did not make a big move.

Without it.

I can't beat it.

The Great Chu Dynasty has been doing one thing, that is, silently hoarding cavalry and horses, until the huge number of 300,000 cavalry.

When the Great Chu garrison 300,000 soldiers, the border city was sufficient, a heavy city with nearly 100,000 cavalry, the Xiongnu did not dare to cross Shuofang, Taiyuan, and invade the Chang'an area. At most, it is only on the periphery of Shuofang, and it is harassed.

This "great victory" in Shuofang City is undoubtedly the biggest victory in the past 10 years against the Xiongnu.

The people in the border city were naturally overjoyed when they heard this, and rushed to tell each other.

...

Tai Lieutenant Li Rong and the generals of Taiyuan City learned more detailed military intelligence reports, and they knew every detail, and they were also sighing.

They also thought that the little dusk would win.

But I didn't expect it to be so neat to win.

In this battle of Shuofang City, 50,000 new troops against 50,000 Hun light cavalry, there was almost no suspense and obstacles.

To be more accurate, it is a steel knife "cutting melon".

Li Yu single-handedly advanced with 10,000 heavy cavalry, and the remaining 20,000 chariots and 20,000 gunpowder lancers did not have time to move.

A knife went down, "poof", and the melon juice splashed everywhere.

He had almost no casualties, and a 10,000-strong corps of Hun light cavalry collapsed directly before he had time to make more moves.

It's a pity that the Hun evil king and the king of Hutu Tu saw that the wind made the rudder too fast and fled too fast, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they immediately fled without hesitation. Otherwise, cut two more knives, a plate of watermelon slices, and it can be served.

The loss of five Hun 10,000 troops was enough for the military ministers to be unable to fall asleep due to physical pain.

"The afterlife is terrifying!"

General Song was extremely emotional, "The old man has fought all his life, and he has fought dozens of hard battles with the Huns, and there is no result of much cheapness." I never thought that it would be so easy to fight the Huns!

In this battle, the hussar general had not even used all his strength. At most, use a hundred percent of your strength, and you can win the battle neatly! ”

"It's not that the Huns are weak, it's that the little dusk is too strong! The little dusk marquis is worthy of being a genius in the world! The new army was born, who in the world can resist! ”

Li Rong nodded slightly, his eyes shining with gold.

If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Duhou was his son-in-law, he would have entered the palace of the king of Ping.

He's afraid... You can't help but be murderous.

Such a peerless general, if there is a little bit of anti-heart in his heart, sooner or later he will become the number one scourge of Da Chu, and he will become a generation of heroes who will replace the Xiang family and win the world.

Even in the entire Great Chu, there are many people who don't like Xiao Duhou, but no one can resist his blade.

However, the Marquis of Xiao Duan followed the holy decree of the first emperor and entered the Pingwang Mansion.

King Ping has no children, Li Rong naturally will not have the heart of rebellion... If Li Rong rebelled, sooner or later the throne would be passed on to the descendants of other families, and he would work in vain.

The Mansion of the Marquis of Peace is already one, with two gods of war for all ages.

No one dared to regain the idea of killing Xiao Duhou.

"Let's go, go to Shuofang City!"

"Bring all the 30,000 people from Shuofang City, bring 100,000 Great Chu cavalry, 100,000 Great Chu infantry, and bring enough military food for the army for three months!"

"My lord, you want to bring so many people?"

"Shuofang City wants to be built into a base for the Northern Expedition, and it is indestructible. Even if the Huns attacked on a large scale, there was no room for loss. ”

"Let's go!"

The 200,000 Chu troops in Taiyuan City, tens of thousands of people, brought a large amount of military rations and went to Shuofang City in high spirits.

...

Shuofang County.

"General, there is a royal history to see."

The guards of the large battalion asked to see an old official who was rather thin.

"You are?"

Chu Tianxiu looked at this official, a little familiar, but he didn't remember it very well.

The official hurriedly bowed down, lowered his eyebrows and said with a sneer: "Xiaguan, Xu Chou!" Ren Shuofang County supervised the imperial history. Originally, in the court, the first emperor sent officials to Shuofang County in northern Xinjiang as the imperial history. Do you remember, Shogun? ”

"Oh!"

Chu Tianxiu finally remembered.

A little impressed.

This Xu Chou opposed him in the court at the beginning and strongly opposed "Salt and Iron Official Camp". was sent to Shuofang County by the first emperor and drank the northwest wind.

It is estimated that for most of the past half a year, the northwest wind should have been full and well-behaved. There is no arrogance or untamedness, only obedience.

"Lord Xu is in Shuofang, okay?"

Chu Tianxiu said with a smile.

"The lower official received the grace of the saint and served as the imperial history of Shuofang County for half a year. Before Shuofang City was lost, Xia Guan followed Lord Taiwei and went to Taiyuan City to avoid trouble.

Now that Shuofang County has taken back, the lower officials hurried back to take up the imperial history. No, let's come and meet the general! ”

Xu Chou hurriedly said.

The local superintendent of the imperial history was responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, inspecting county and county affairs, correcting unfair prison sentences, and purging the atmosphere of officialdom.

The imperial history is responsible for supervision, and basically everything can be inserted, specifically picking fault with officials. Once a problem is discovered, it will be reported to the Imperial Historical Observatory of the Imperial Court, and the officials who violate the law and discipline will be dismissed and investigated.

This power can be big or small.

For ordinary officials and petty officials, the county superintendent Yushi is simply holding the sword of Shang Fang, and his power is terrifying.

However, in front of Chu Tianxiu, the general of the second rank hussar and one of the five auxiliary ministers, the official who supervised the imperial history of Shuofang County was too small, and of course it was not easy to use.

Even the top boss of the local imperial history, Wang Su, one of the three princes, can only bow down in front of Chu Tianxiu and dare not look for trouble.

This Xu Chou was afraid that Chu Tianxiu would not know that he was the number one figure in Shuofang County, and he would be an eyesore and accidentally let the soldiers in the city "click", but he was wronged.

Now the northern frontier of Great Chu is so powerful, except for the Taiwei Li Rong, he is the hussar general Xiao Duhou.

"Okay, you're done. This Shuofang County has just been taken back, and it is in ruins and needs to be repaired. Repairing the city, tuning the fields, and resuming production must be done immediately.

Local officials, who are prone to corruption and fraud, must be well supervised! You, the overseer of Shuofang County, urge them to be diligent in their administration.

By the way, I have already reported to the imperial court, and Zhu Sellchen, a new science and technology jinshi, will be appointed as the county governor of Shuofang County, focusing on immigration, tuntian, and growing grain, so as to reduce the burden of grain transportation for the imperial court. You will partner with him in the future and run Shuofang County well.

If Tuntian is meritorious, after four or five years, he can return to Jinling City to be promoted and enjoy happiness. ”

Chu Tianxiu said casually.

"Yes, yes! General Xie, the lower officials will definitely do their best! Assist Lord Zhu, manage the tuntian, and produce more grain. ”

Xu Chou was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed and retired.
