Hezhou, Han army barracks.

Since the conquest of Xianbei, Duan Xi has not returned to the dynasty, leading more than 20,000 Han army iron cavalry, stationed in Hezhou Biansai, to maintain the safety of Hezhou and Xinzhou, Xinzhou is surrounded by only Wuhuan people, there is no worry, and it is also very close to Youzhou, if anything happens, Youzhou can go to Xinzhou as soon as possible, but Hezhou is different, there are Ding Ling around him, and Xianbei remnants.

Duan Xi did not dare to leave easily, and recently, because of the case of the Huns, many Xianbei remnants have fled back from Ding Ling's side, first, after the Xianbei people were defeated, many tribes, people are scattered, and the most is to flee into the depths of the grassland, that is, the area controlled by Ding Lingren, Ding Ling people were suppressed by Xianbei people in the era of Tanshi Huai.

In the face of the defeat of these Xianbei deserters, they naturally will not be merciful and sympathetic, they will take these deserters and their subordinates as slaves and oppress them all day long, making them miserable, and some of them are scattered in all directions, or fighting with Ding Lingren, to barely survive, but those Xianbei people who stayed in Hezhou and Xinzhou actually lived a stable and well-fed life.

This made them a little unable to sit still, coupled with the Han Dynasty's gentle policy towards these border people at this time, so that the Xianbei people fled back one after another, and Duan Xi, the killing god, sat on the border of Hezhou, for these Xianbei tribes, Ding Ling people did not dare to go to pursue, and could only sit back and watch these original slaves flee back to the territory of the Han Dynasty, most of these people like to migrate to the territory of Hezhou.

The reason for this, naturally needless to say, compared to Yangqiu's brutal rule in Xinzhou, or Lu Zhi's means can attract these Xianbei people more, Lu Zhi is very happy, more population represents more manpower, for Hezhou, which has just been established and has only three counties in the entire state, population is the most valuable resource, of course, compared to Xinzhou, which has only one county seat, Hezhou is also good.

In the Han army camp, Duan Xi is making a plan for the Han army in the near future, such an opportunity is simply rare for the Han cavalry, on the one hand, there is no large-scale army around that can form a real threat to the Han army, but there are many rogue cavalry in a small area, and the Han cavalry is divided into several small groups to fight with these rogue soldiers.

During this period, Duan Xi also simply handed over the command of the army to people such as Sun Jian, Dian Wei, Huang Zhong and others, these people each led their own teams and fought everywhere, I have to say that such a single leader is not only for them These generals, but also for the Han soldiers and soldiers are excellent exercises, how can there be such an opportunity in the past, can run on the prairie at will, and there are opponents who can let themselves train the army.

After suffering several small-scale encirclement and suppression, these Liukou who were composed of Xianbei remnants no longer fought to the death with the Han army, and surrendered immediately after being defeated, but they did not expect that after these Han troops defeated them, they did not capture them, but released them, and Sun Jian would also tell them that the Han Dynasty was a state of benevolence and righteousness, and would not kill these prisoners of war, so that they would not make trouble in the future.

They were easily released, and even their horses were returned to them, after these people left happily, they were once again surrounded and suppressed by the Han army, and there were many Xianbei Liukou horses moved by Sun Jian, and they all joined Lu Zhi's door, so that Lu Zhi was greatly surprised, the Han army was so trained, and the entire Han army's understanding or experience of cavalry warfare was constantly increasing.

Especially these generals who led troops alone, after experiencing various grassland combat methods from the hands of the Xianbei people, they tried to restrain themselves and grew extremely rapidly, which happened to be what Duan Xi wanted, no matter at any time, the enemies of the Han Dynasty attacked them from the grassland, and they must cultivate generals who are good at long-distance combat on the grassland in order to defend the border of the Han Dynasty.

There are these elite cavalry in Hezhou, Hezhou is also peaceful, there is no chaos, Duan Xi is still arranging various military training plans, these cavalry are one of the few in the Han Dynasty, the most elite knights, while they can stay in Hezhou for a period of time, they must be trained well, Duan Xi is busy, and suddenly a close person came to report: "Thorn Shi Lu Zhi came to visit." ”

Duan Xi frowned violently, thought for a moment, waved his hand, and said, "Tell him that I'm already asleep!" ”

The close relatives were stunned for a moment, nodded, and walked out, and after a while, he walked in helplessly and said: "Lu Junyan, I have seen the general's figure from the lights, he has something important and wants to meet the lord."

Duan Xi was a little helpless, and said, "Then bring him in, and let the guards outside guard in the tent!" ”

Close relatives walked out, took Lu Zhi, walked in, followed by a group of soldiers, standing in the room, holding a spear, glaring angrily, Lu Zhi looked at Duan Xi in puzzlement, turned his head and looked at these soldiers again, his relationship with Duan Xi has always been good, because he has been a general under Duan Xi's account for a long time, and on weekdays, Duan Xi also takes care of him in every way.

For some reason, since he served as the assassin of Hezhou, Duan Xi's attitude towards him has changed dramatically, and since then, he has been speaking ill of himself, without his previous enthusiasm, he bowed his head helplessly and said: "Meet General Duan!" ”

"Hehe, you are a party envoy, you don't have to be like this!"

Duan Xi said coldly, Lu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and asked bitterly: "General, but where did I anger the general and lose the general's love, so that this??" Duan Xi smiled and said, "No, what do you have to do?" ”

"General, aren't you worried that I'll ??? Lu Zhixing assassinate you?" Lu Zhi looked at the soldiers behind him and asked angrily.

"That's right, if you have something, I don't want to talk nonsense with you!"

"Why is that??"

"Why?? The battle was fought by the army under my command, Tanshi Huai was defeated by Sun Jian, and Helian was defeated by Dian Wei, what credit do you have, sit back and enjoy it, and you got the position of 2,000 stones? And ask me why? If there is nothing important, please go back first! Duan Xi said angrily, Lu Zhi froze, and looked at Duan Xi carefully for most of the day, as if he had only seen him clearly now.

"General, Hezhou lacks population, and the fugitives on Ding Ling's side are chased and killed by Ding Ling's people from time to time, I wonder if the Northern Army can be stationed in the aisle to escort these fugitives into Hezhou?"

"I'm here to kill the Xianbei people, not to protect the Xianbei people, please go back!" Duan Xi showed no mercy, waved his hand, and turned around, Lu Zhi was insulted like this in front of many soldiers, his face turned red with anger, he stood for a moment, gritted his teeth, and left angrily, many soldiers saw him leave, and then looked at Duan Xi.

"Go back, too!"

"Yes!!"

Everyone walked out, and the angry Duan Xi instantly calmed down, lowered his head helplessly, and sighed.

Hey, it will be harmonious, it will be harmonious, it will not be harmonious, why don't you Lu Zigan understand this truth?

After these soldiers walked out, they stood in their positions again, and it was not until the change of guard that they returned to their camps, and it was not long before several white carrier pigeons flapped their wings and flew out from this side of the plugged place, their destination was Luoyang, thousands of miles away, and their master was the notorious Zhang Junyi in Luoyang.
