Chapter 168: Going South to Yuyang
"Boom ......"
"Crackling ......"
As the first batch of oil canisters smashed into the enemy camp, in an instant, the big tents in the enemy camp burst into flames.
The Wuhuan or Xianbei cavalry in the middle, some of whom had no time to escape, were suddenly enveloped in flames.
In the midst of the ghost crying wolf, and then burned into piles of charcoal, it can be described as a terrible death.
The pungent smell of burnt corpses, coupled with the fact that they had seen their deaths in horror, hit the morale of the Wuhuan or Central Xianbei cavalry.
It makes them more scared now, and because of it, it makes them even more confused!
Outside the enemy's barracks, Lu Bu doesn't care how frightened and chaotic the enemy is now!
Lu Bu's eyes were determined, and then he continued to order his own soldiers to shoot fire oil [martial arts] attacks on the enemy's military camp.
Lu Bu only wants to get rid of these alien barbarians as soon as possible, and then lead the army back to Youzhou and do a good job of taking control of Youzhou.
If it is possible, it is natural to lead a large army to occupy more territory and population of Yuan Shao.
If it is impossible to do anything, Lu Bu needs to lead a large army to garrison Youzhou, which he occupies at that time.
Otherwise, as recorded in history, Yuan Shao, who was defeated by Cao Cao in Guandu, will definitely be angry when he sees that Youzhou is occupied by Lu Bu again.
Yuan Shao, who is angry, will definitely gather the remnants or recruit troops as soon as possible, and then gather tens of thousands, or even more than 100,000 troops, to go north to recapture Youzhou!
With Yuan Shao's arrogance, after losing to the weak Cao Cao, if he was bitten off the entire territory and population of Youzhou by Lu Bu, who was even weaker in Yuan Shao's eyes, it would only make Yuan Shao even more shameless!
If this is the case, Lü Bu naturally needs to be fully prepared, and then deal with the northward march of the army led by Yuan Shao.
Although Yuan Shao will be defeated by Cao Cao in Guandu, there will be huge losses in troops and morale.
However, after all, Yuan Shao's family is big, he still has the identity of the fourth and third princes, and there are many talents under his account, although Lu Bu is not afraid of Yuan Shao, who will become strong and weak by then, but the guard work that should be done must still be done well!
Otherwise, Lu Bu himself is too arrogant, and people who are too arrogant will only end up with nothing good in the end!
Lu Bu also wants to sweep away this troubled era and establish a great kingdom, so he doesn't want this.
Therefore, Lu Bu needed to deal with these alien barbarians as soon as possible, so that he could have enough time to do this.
"Boom ......"
"Crackling ......"
Under the command of Lu Bu, the army continued to fire catapults, projecting cans of burning fire oil at the enemy's barracks.
Under the attack of Lu Bu's army projecting fire oil, the enemy, who had reached such a cruel point, naturally couldn't hold out for long.
Soon, the 70,000 Wuhuan or Xianbei cavalry in the central part of the country, except for 10,000 or 20,000 who escaped by taking advantage of the chaos, either died or surrendered to Lu Bu.
From then on, accept Lu Bu's path to their sinicization and be a Han person.
Seeing this result, Lu Bu was extremely satisfied.
The only thing that made Lu Bu feel dissatisfied was that he escaped Kebineng, the leader of the Xianbei in the central part of the country.
However, Lu Bu turned his head, thought about it, and quickly became relieved.
I don't care if Kebineng led a group of pro-soldiers to escape in the chaos.
Lu Bu knew that Ke Bineng was ambitious, but now that he had solved so many of his troops, even if he was ambitious, he had to weigh his own energy if he wanted to go south and invade his own territory.
What's more, killing Kebineng now will only make Bu Dugen, the leader of the Western Xianbei, profitable.
Lü Bu now needs to take control of Youzhou and is about to face the army led by Yuan Shao to the north, and he has no time to conquer the territory and population of Xianbei in the central part of the country.
If Kebi can die, he will only let Bu Dugen find a good opportunity, and then lead the cavalry of the Western Xianbei to conquer the chaotic Central Xianbei, and let Bu Dugen unify the Xianbei tribes in the middle and west.
Lü Bu needs a chaotic northern frontier, not a unified northern frontier.
In this way, Lu Bu, whose foundation is in Pingzhou and Youzhou, can lead the army south with peace of mind and sweep away this chaotic world.
What's more, Lu Bu had long wanted to stir up a war between Kebi Neng in the central Xianbei and Budugen in the western Xianbei, and then provoked Ding Ling in the north and the Southern Xiongnu entrenched in Bingzhou.
Let these four major forces in order to be able to get a larger territory and a larger population, let them fight each other and consume their strength.
At that time, when Lu Bu has time to deal with them, as long as he leads tens of thousands of cavalry, he can sweep the northern frontier, so that the alien races in the northern frontier will be completely wiped out.
Let the territory of the Han people not be invaded by these nomadic peoples in northern Xinjiang from now on.
Why not!
solved the 70,000 cavalry that Nengchen Di and Kebineng united, and naturally allowed Lu Bu to get the white sandalwood of the remnants of the Wuhuan clan who were able to get Nengchendi.
White sandalwood is a good place, the land is fertile, the pasture is abundant, whether it is grazing or cultivating grain, you can harvest a lot.
Lu Bu naturally won't let go of this good place in vain!
Therefore, Lü Bu prepared to establish a Baitan county town in Baitan and incorporate it into Yuyang County.
In addition, tens of thousands of Han people were sent from Yuyang County to live in Baitan County, and then the pastures or fields outside Baitan County were distributed to these tens of thousands of Han people, so that they could live here from now on.
As for the alien barbarians here in Baitan, Lu Bu dispatched most of them to Yuyang County, and scattered them in various counties of Yuyang County, so that from then on, aliens and Han people lived together, and there was no opportunity for them to form gangs and create chaos.
Lu Bu also let them intermarry with each other, and they can also be sinicized more smoothly.
Of course, Lu Bu didn't have the time to spend here in Bai Tan, so these things were naturally handed over to Xian Yufu, who was temporarily the Taishou of Yuyang County.
After Lu Bu left some soldiers to garrison Baitan, he led the army south towards Yuyang County.
It was planned to join the army led by Cao Bao and Li Ru, and then march west.
Under the leadership of Lu Bu, the army drove for several days, and finally came to Yuyang County, the county seat of Yuyang County.
In Yuyang County, Lu Bu met his father-in-law Cao Bao, who he hadn't seen for a long time, and Li Ru, the right army division under his tent.
The three of them naturally chatted for a while, and Lu Bu also commended their merits by the way.
At the same time, Lu Bu also met Xian Yufu, who had taken refuge in him not long ago and had not yet met.
Lu Bu chatted with Xian Yufu for a while, and then ordered Xian Yufu to establish a county seat in Baitan, and then asked him to send the Han people north to live in Baitan County, and then transfer the alien barbarians of Baitan and scatter them in the counties of Yuyang County, and sinicize them as soon as possible.
Regarding Lu Bu's order as the new lord, and Xian Yufu himself also wanted to leave a good impression in front of Lu Bu, and then let Lu Bu value himself, Xian Yufu naturally had no objections.
On the contrary, he repeatedly warned himself that he must do what Lu Bu told him to do well!
