In just half an hour, there was a sea of corpses on the mountainside, and Kou Ping was also shot by Kou Ping in the fight, and was about to flee back to the cottage, but was killed by the swords and soldiers who caught up.

The remaining remnants of the soldiers abandoned their armor and fled back to the cottage, after counting, a scuffle, Liu Cong's side lost three hundred barbarians, two hundred sword soldiers, and four or five hundred people were slightly injured, it can be seen that the combat effectiveness of the Kouping tribe is still quite strong, but it is still within the range of bearing, and the Kouping tribe is most of the strong men killed and injured. In the future, if Liu Cong is not exterminated, they can only be regarded as a small and medium-sized tribe in the west of Wuling.

Liu Cong also adhered to the principle of chasing poor Kou, but continued to camp at the foot of the mountain, and then sent an envoy up the mountain to recruit An.

Those who say that they want to fight to the end will die, and those who run away, and the rest of the women and children, it is really difficult to make trouble. Faced with Liu Cong's army of 12,000, they had almost no choice. Either submit to the imperial court and accept resettlement, or be slaughtered!

As soon as the fighting on Kouping's side stopped, other tribes immediately heard the news, and when they learned that most of the Kouping tribe had lost most of their strength and that Kouping had also been killed in the first battle, almost all of them gave up the idea of continuing to resist at the first time. And this time, Liu Cong also gave the tribes time to discuss again.

Three days later, envoys were sent one after another, and the remaining 20 or so barbarian tribes in the western part of Yuanling County expressed their willingness to surrender, but did not want to relocate as a whole, but resettled a part of them near Yuanling County, and Wuling County was responsible for helping to build houses. This is actually the bottom line that Kou Ping insisted on in the end, but Kou Ping didn't stick to the end, let alone other small tribes.

"As for providing land and helping to build houses, we promised that it would be impossible to move as a whole, that there was no county that could accommodate so many people, and that there would not be enough land to be divided. Therefore, the specific relocation must be in accordance with our plan, "Of course, Liu Cong wants to make up for the household, but he must not let a tribe of 6,000 people relocate together as a whole, so that the tribe has a field and helps it build housing, or in ten years, they will be able to make 10,000 people, and they are all the same."

This is not what Liu Cong wants to see. In addition, the purpose of the surrender is not only to weaken the overall strength of the Wuling barbarians, but also to lead the way* party and death squads. It's just that Liu Cong didn't say it explicitly, but what must be carried out is that since it is the largest tribe, it is necessary to take this opportunity to make them enemies with other tribes and greatly reduce the number of strong men.

Soon most of the tribes came to Yuanling County again with a few elders to negotiate with Liu Cong in person, and Liu Cong did not refuse, but it was necessary to show the coercion appropriately, and the army of 8,000 people lined up to welcome, and most of the leaders and elders entered Yuanling County with trembling.

"Your Excellency the General, we really have to go down the mountain occasionally because of the lack of land and food in the mountains......

"I don't care if you do it once in a while, or all the time, what I want is stability on the border and peace for the people. Since your tribe has a large number of people, it is naturally the most harmful, and if you don't submit to the imperial court, I will break them one by one. At that time, it will not be as easy as the Kouping tribe, and you may face a slaughter, because I don't want my subordinates to have any more senseless sacrifices! ”

"General Tianwei, we are willing to submit, but this resettlement is ......"

"Since you are obedient, the matter of resettlement will naturally be subject to the arrangement of the imperial court, I believe that Lord Jin will uphold justice, you are the first to submit, and you will definitely be better than others in terms of treatment."

The leaders of the "......" looked embarrassed, in fact, he was just testing, the reason why their tribe was able to grow was because of the cheap advantage of nearby Yuanling County, and they plundered the most grain after each harvest.

However, over time, they are also the tribe closest to the county seat and have big goals. This time, when they heard that the government wanted to be barbaric, they still thought of luck, and some people advocated moving out, but most of the people in the tribe were accustomed to this kind of half-cultivation and half-plundering days, and if they continued to move out, food would not be guaranteed. Thinking about it, it is also a good way to return to the imperial court.

"This is non-negotiable!" Of course, Liu Cong can't set this precedent, there are dozens of tribes in Wuling Barbarian, if each tribe asks for it, they must be resettled near the county seat, isn't it to raise tigers for trouble, and feed dozens of tigers in this Wuling County?

Seeing Liu Cong's insistence, and there were examples of the diametrically opposite Lu Jian Department and Kou Ping Department, not many people resisted and accepted Liu Cong's recruitment.

"This is very good, this general will give you three days, and you must all assemble in Yuanling County within three days, and after you go back, please do a lot of clan work, and Wuling County will immediately send someone to the cottage to announce the resettlement!"

"General Xie!"

After these leaders returned, the dozens of Wuling barbarian tribes, known as the largest in Wuling County, began to quarrel fiercely, the young people still wanted to fight, and the elders saw that the elders were depressed, that is, they knew that the leaders and elders had done their best, and this time the official attitude was very resolute. Eight thousand officers and men fighting hard is definitely not a good way.

Three days passed quickly in such endless squabbles.

Liu Cong did not relax here, sent the leader away, and as soon as the three days arrived, he ordered Wei Yan, Huang Zhong, Liu Pan and other generals to lead people to surround the main roads between the tribes and the tribes down the mountain. In this way, those in the tribe who were lucky enough to compromise also compromised.

After most of the barbarians left the cottage and came to the county seat, Liu Cong immediately announced that all men over the age of eighteen and under the age of fifty must serve in the military, that is to say, those between the ages of eighteen and fifty were conscripted, and they were the leading party and vanguard of the imperial army. As soon as the order came out, there was an uproar up and down the tribe, but a large number of hostages were in the hands of officers and soldiers, and they had to accept their fate!

Liu Cong's move is not ruthless, and several of the largest tribes have made enemies, but he has paid the smallest price. No matter what, it's okay to surrender, you have to accept the resettlement of the government, the entire tribe's cottage was destroyed, and the rest are also relocated to Zigui and Yiling.

After a round of attack, Liu Cong got 5,000 barbarian warriors, and more than 40,000 people were successively moved to Nanjun, where they lived among the Han people.

More than 5,000 people were placed in Wuling County. Looking at the number of cottages that were burned, Liu Cong thought to himself, I don't know how many years later, there will be people gathered here to be barbarians, I'm afraid even I can't put an end to it, all I can do is to reduce the number of these cottages that have been reactivated.

Once again, the public security became the main resettlement point, but most of them were the families of barbarians who had been conscripted into the army, which was Liu Cong's consistent policy, to facilitate the management of the army, and also to take care of the families of the fallen soldiers, so that the soldiers should be loyal and show their own benevolence.

In this way, it was 6,000 people when they set out, and 11,000 when they returned to Nangun. These Wulingman still had strong antagonism at first, but when they really got the land and had a house, they gradually quieted down.

Wuling is gone, but Liu Cong's strength has increased greatly, such a good thing, Zhuge Liang and others finally understand why Liu Cong insisted on recruiting in person, and he was so excited. Of course, Liu Cong did not report the increase of troops to Xiangyang, and repeatedly asked Jin Xuan and others to keep it secret for themselves.

When Cai Lin saw Liu Cong again, there was another little beauty beside him, and at first Cai Lin thought that it was the child who worshiped Liu Cong and played with Han Yi in general.

After A-Ying sat down, Cai Lin found that something was wrong, this girl was very quiet, and she didn't seem to care about other people, she only had Liu Cong in her eyes, and Liu Cong also knew that she couldn't hide it, so she told the truth, although Cai Lin was uncomfortable in her heart, she also accepted this fact calmly, after all, Liu Cong was a county guard, a general of Pingnan. It's normal to have one or two more maids around, and it also involves a large group of ethnic minorities.

was able to successfully quell the barbarian rebellion, and Liu Cong added another stroke to Liu Biao's credit book. It's just that in this way, the original purpose of training the team cannot be achieved, and it seems that the only way to wait for Sun Quan to sneak attack Jiangxia is possible.

Of course, Liu Cong also knew that these barbarians would definitely encounter various difficulties after moving inward, so he specially summoned the county magistrates, county lieutenants and others to Jiangling, and asked the county magistrates to treat the Wuling barbarians well and provide them with production and living assistance as much as they could.

In this way, the entire Jiangling garrison was 15,000, and this time, Liu Cong once again distributed the various arms, Gan Ning's subordinate division increased to 5,000, and Liu Pan's cavalry increased to 2,000, although there were only 500 horses, which did not prevent Liu Cong from insisting on establishing a cavalry battalion. The bow battalion was increased to three thousand, and the remaining five thousand were two thousand infantry and three thousand spearmen.
