Chapter 228: I'm Too Bitter
Li Yang was really happy.
Who would have thought that in this northern expedition, the Huns would prepare so many surprises for themselves?
Mao Dun led the Xiongnu army to fight Donghu, which not only made the Xiongnu itself empty, but also gave the Qin army a chance to sweep the livestock of the entire Xiongnu steppe, without worrying about any resistance. Moreover, he can also stage a good show of praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind, easily picking the fruits of war of the Hun army, and unifying Donghu without effort, this is simply a big pie falling from the sky!
More importantly, the battle between the Xiongnu and Donghu, although it was a surprise attack, also caused nearly half of the Xiongnu to be killed and wounded. In the end, it was defeated by the Qin army, with 70,000 troops, and less than 20,000 remnants of the fleeing army.
Therefore, after this battle, the Xiongnu were already greatly injured. Even if Mao Dun went back and reorganized the army, it would not be possible to organize an army of tens of thousands in a short time.
In addition, Wang Li took this opportunity to take advantage of them, if the raid on the Xiongnu was successful, then the Xiongnu really had nothing to fear.
A Xiongnu who did not have a strong army and no livestock to survive the winter could be easily solved for Li Yang, who commanded the 300,000-strong army of the Great Wall camp.
Thinking of this, Li Yang was in a happy mood, and then pulled the big danghu and the little prince to understand the current situation of Donghu.
It turns out that the aristocratic composition of Donghu is actually very simple, that is, the patriarchs of more than 100 tribes, because Donghu is a political system composed of hundreds of small tribes.
In other words, as long as you control these more than 100 tribes, you will be able to control Donghu.
And the big household in front of him is the patriarch of the more powerful clan in Donghu.
In addition to him, the larger tribes of Donghu are the royal family of the little prince, as well as the clans of the big captain and the left and right captains, all of which are the more powerful tribes of Donghu.
It's just that the royal family guards the royal court, and it has been greatly damaged. And the Zuo Duwei is in charge of the Donghu Zuoting, and he has also died in battle, and the current leaders of several of the largest tribes are now the two Da Danghu and the Right Duwei.
With this understanding, Li Yang immediately called the right lieutenant over, and then said: "This court has decided to divide Donghu into two counties, put a number of counties, and the big pawn and the right lieutenant will be the county guards of the two counties, how about it?" ”
"Thank you, Dean Houen!"
When the big pawn and the right lieutenant heard this, they immediately burst into tears of gratitude and hurriedly thanked them.
For those who surrendered, they could still be so reused, which the two of them didn't expect.
Of course, there is also a reason why Li Yang divided Donghu into two counties and appointed two people as county guards.
First, if Li Yang wants to reorganize Donghu, he can get the help of the two most powerful tribal leaders in Donghu, and he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Second, the two most powerful tribal leaders are both county guards, and their respective status is equal, and no one will obey anyone's orders, so there will be no more Donghu kings in Donghu.
In addition, under the two counties, a number of counties were set up, and the county orders were held by the Qin people, cutting off the power channel of the two county guards to lead the Donghu people. In addition, hundreds of tribes in Donghu were all dismantled, and then divided into countless small tribes to form townships and pavilions. In the future, the grassland will be divided according to the township and pavilion, instead of the previous division of the grassland according to the tribe, and each township pavilion will not interfere with each other, so that there will be no more tribes in the whole Donghu, only townships and pavilions.
After all, in the past, tribes were formed because the stronger the tribe, the larger the pasture, so for the sake of land resources, they had to form strong tribes and obey the orders of the clan leader.
And once the grassland is divided according to the township and pavilion, the existence of the tribe is meaningless.
What's more, Donghu is so big, and there are more than thousands of township pavilions?
From more than 100 tribes at the beginning, it has been divided into thousands of townships and pavilions, who can still have the ability to the and order to gather into tribes again? Apparently impossible.
Moreover, these townships and pavilions are under the jurisdiction of the county commanders served by the Qin people. It can be said that by using the county system, Donghu was completely divided and solved due to the unstable factors composed of the major tribes.
The big pawn and the right lieutenant, who had been rewarded by the high-ranking officials, also understood in their hearts that Li Yang would definitely contribute to the position of county guard, so the two of them immediately expressed their loyalty and said: "The dean has orders, and we will do our best to obey them." ”
"Good!" Li Yang laughed, very satisfied, and said: "This court will immediately let the imperial court send people to implement the county system, and then we will have to rely on the two of you to cooperate." ”
"Whoa!" The two immediately received their orders.
…………
At the same time, Han Xin pursued all the way and directly chased Mao Dun out of Donghu, and then stopped.
In Li Yang's words, this time Mao Dun must not be allowed to take any loot from Donghu, and they must be defeated and bloody.
In fact, Mao Dun, who fled back to the territory of the Huns, where is the blood loss at this time, it is clear that he is so angry that he vomits blood.
Looking at the 70,000 troops he brought out, and now there are less than 20,000 people left who can come back, Mao Dun has a feeling like he is in a dream, which is not real at all.
Yes, even at this point, Maudon was still unwilling to accept the fact of such a fiasco.
This attack on Donghu is a big victory in any way.
Because of Donghu's several bullying, the whole Xiongnu army held back their anger, and it can be said that the army was full of fighting spirit. In addition, this attack on Donghu is also a surprise attack, which can kill Donghu by surprise, and tactically it is all winning cards.
In fact, the battle against Donghu was indeed as he expected, the surprise attack of the Xiongnu army was like a bamboo, destroying the left court, breaking the king's court, defeating the right court, and the king of Donghu also died in the chaos. It can be said that in this war, Donghu was completely destroyed by himself.
However, in the end, he ended up in a fiasco.
How so?
Why does God want to make such a joke with Ben Danyu?
Mao Dun thought of the Qin army that suddenly came out of nowhere, and he had a feeling of wanting to die.
He really couldn't understand how Qin Jun could appear in Donghu's right court.
It's completely incredible!
Moreover, the Qin army appeared so coincidentally, but when he defeated Donghu and was about to surrender the remnants of Donghu, it suddenly appeared......
If you can't defeat Donghu, so the army is defeated, then forget it.
However, thinking that he had obviously defeated Donghu, but the result was to make a wedding dress for the Qin army, and he ended up with a fiasco, Mao Dun really couldn't accept it.
That is the fruit of the 70,000 Xiongnu army, which was defeated at the cost of nearly half of the dead and wounded.
Outcome...... was cut off by the Qin army like this?
Thinking of this, Mao Dun felt a tightness in his chest, his eyes were shining, and he almost fell off the horse.
Yes, it was a feeling of sadness to the point of angina, to the point of hating to beat the chest, and to the point of anger wanting to go crazy, but there was no way to do it.
He suffered a loss, a big loss.
This big loss not only lost the Donghu in hand, but also lost the future of the Xiongnu.
Of the 70,000 troops, there are less than 20,000 people left who have returned, and the loss of 50,000 has greatly damaged the vitality of the Huns!
And more importantly, he originally wanted to use this expedition to Donghu to achieve the goal of stabilizing Shan Yu's position. And this fiasco, apparently, was even more disappointing to the Huns.
To be honest, at this time, Mao Dun was a little worried about whether he could still control the Xiongnu tribes in the future.
After all, before the expedition, three ministers had said that if the Xiongnu went to Donghu, they would give Great Qin an opportunity. And he didn't listen, not only did he not listen, but he also killed these three ministers, and the final result was that he really made a wedding dress for Qin Jun......
Thinking of all this, Mao was overwhelmed.
Heart...... It's so bitter!
Slowly raised his head to the sky, looking at this god who was playing with himself, Mao suddenly closed his eyes, and two lines of tears slid down his cheeks......
I...... It's so hard!
