The Wuhuan soldiers are fierce and abnormal, more than one grade stronger than the Yellow Turban Army. The killing of Zhao Yi just now can be regarded as a fluke victory, if it wasn't for the first use of spears to kill most of Wu Huan's soldiers, it is not yet known who will kill him in this battle.

Listening to the moans of the wounded Wuhuan soldiers who fell to the ground, and then seeing the little fire in the distant village, so many innocent people were killed by these Wuhuan people, thinking of this, Zhao Yi wanted to kill all these Wuhuan people.

However, these Wuhuan people are skilled in riding and can fight well, so it is a pity to kill them. It would be best if it could be collected for its own use, but the Wuhuan division was not the same as the Yellow Turban soldiers, who had the same roots and clan as themselves. Even though Zhao Yi has no concept of ethnic differences, will the soldiers behind him and these Wuhuan people be determined to be loyal to him?

Just now, Tai Shici said that if he laid down his weapons and avoided death, it was just to let these Wuhuan people let go of their resistance, and the final decision-making power on this matter was naturally in Zhao Yi's hands.

Zhao Yi weighed the pros and cons, raised the arms that ordered the beheading, his eyes turned uncertainly, and he sighed and withdrew his arms: "Escort these people back to the county seat." ”

Tai Shi Ci ordered the soldiers to escort these people back to the camp, Zhao Yi looked at the ruins of the village in front of him, and waved his hand to let the soldiers bury the bodies of these people.

After dealing with the matter here, Zhao Yi led the cavalry to return with a great victory, and the county town shook. The Wuhuan tribes often plundered various counties, and many county guards were helpless against these cavalry. Zhao Yi annihilated 3,000 people in Wuhuan in a battle, everyone in Zhuo County was happy, and Qin Chong, the county leader, led officials out of the city to greet him, although Qin Chong did not agree with Zhao Yi's domineering style, and often looked for opportunities to get rid of Zhao Yi and then quickly, but he was still very satisfied with Zhao Yi's military command. Since he served as the county commander, except for the Zhuoxian county commander Gongsun Zan that day, he led his troops to win a fierce battle with the Xianbei cavalry. Zhao Yi was the second person to win a big victory with the Yi clan.

But Gongsun Chan could not compete with Zhao Yi, although Gongsun Chan killed dozens of Xianbei people, but his own troops suffered many losses. Zhao Yi defeated the Wuhuan people, with no more than 600 casualties, and also captured nearly 1,000 Wuhuan people, which is really a hero in the world.

Along the way, the people praised each other, saying that Zhao Yi was in Zhuo County, and there was no worry about his own safety. At this time, the forces in Youzhou were complicated, and the troops in the territory were not only the official army, but also mixed with many Yi forces.

Chang Shile blossomed, Zhao Yi's decision to lead troops into the city was not wrong, if it were not for these thousands of elite soldiers, how could there be today's victory. Looking at the nearly 1,000 Wuhuan people who were tied up by the five flowers, Changshi greeted him with a smile on his face: "My lord, whether this battle is reported to Taishou, no matter how you say it, this is also an unprecedented victory." ”

Unlike Changshi's happy face, Zhao Yi's face was quite heavy and his mood was quite low: "The negligence of this official caused the people of the three villages to be killed, and nearly 3,000 people were homeless. If time can be turned back, the official is willing to exchange his life for the peace of the people, and the victory in a mere battle is really insignificant compared to those people. Zhao Yi didn't want to hide this matter, and he couldn't hide it, so he might as well take the initiative to say it.

"Adults love the people like sons, and they are ashamed of their duties." Changshi replied respectfully, looking up and just about to ask how this matter should be handled. But Zhao Yi had already escorted the soldiers away, and Changshi hurriedly followed.

At the gate of the palace, Zhao Yi instructed Tai Shici: "Ziyi, record the fallen soldiers in this battle." After the court is compensated, it will be sent to the hometown of the soldiers. ”

As soon as Zhao Yi said this, Changshi didn't need to ask whether he had won the report. This has already answered the question just now, if you don't give the court a victory, how can there be a bereavement pension.

Qin Chong secretly said that Zhao Yi would buy people's hearts, which not only made Zhao Yi win the hearts of the army, but also improved his prestige, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

At the same time, Tai Shici sent the Wuhuan people into the camp, ordered the doctors in the army to treat the wounded soldiers in the army, and he returned to the government office, thinking about the practice of dealing with the Wuhuan people in the camp and the future development direction of his department.

After the battle with Wu Huan, Zhao Yi felt a lot and deeply understood the necessity of building a team of elite cavalry. He didn't stay long in the house, and then he drove his horse to the barracks.

At this time, Tai Shici and Gao Shun had just distributed the 1,000 Wuhuan people, and they were about to let the ten leaders bring them back for training and discipline, when they saw Zhao Yi coming here, they all came over and bowed.

Zhao Yi looked at these Wuhuan people in front of him and asked Tai Shici: "Ziyi, what do you want to do with these surrendered soldiers?" ”

Tai Shi Ci almost didn't think about it: "Merge the Wuhuan people into all the departments in the army." "In the same way that the Han army dealt with the Wuhuan people, the Wuhuan people were scattered among these soldiers. As long as the Wuhuan people can't gather together, there won't be much chaos.

Tai Shi Ci and Gao Shun glanced at each other and hesitated: "My lord, there is a word that the two of them don't know whether to say or not." ”

"Please." Zhao Yi did not curb the generals' speech, and sometimes they were able to say better opinions.

"Adults should know that if they are not of my race, their hearts will be different. The two generals wanted to secretly kill these Wuhuan people. Tai Shi Ci said the point in his heart, instead of ordering the soldiers to disperse and supervise this hidden danger, it is better to eliminate this curse.

Zhao Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, and he was not annoyed, but said frankly: "I also had such thoughts at first, but I denied it. Instead of killing, it is better to use it for me. ”

Gao Shun smiled bitterly: "The Wuhuan soldiers are strong in bows and horses, and it is naturally best if they can be used by adults, but I am afraid that they will be unruly and unruly." ”

"Don't worry, two generals, I have my own way." Zhao Yi seemed to be very confident, and saw Gao Shun and Tai Shici's still sad faces, "How do the Wuhuan soldiers compare to Zhang Jiao's personal guards?" ”

The three Zhang Jiao brothers all died because of Zhao Yi, and their personal guards attached themselves to Zhao Yi, and Gao Shun, Zhu Jun and others persuaded Zhao Yi to kill those personal guards. But Zhao Yi not only killed those guards, but also incorporated them into the cowardly Xue Army, which was called the Praetorian Guard by Gao Shun and others. At this time, it has become the backbone of Zhao Yi's hands.

The Wuhuan people are not all cold-blooded and murderous, and Zhao Yi believes that as long as he treats them sincerely, they will definitely die for themselves.

Tai Shi Ci and Gao Shun knew that Zhao Yi had already decided on this matter: "Since the Lord has already decided, the last general naturally has no objections. ”

Zhao Yi nodded, and did not let Tai Shi Ci merge the Wuhuan people into the Zhuo County soldiers, but ordered Tai Shi Ci to select a thousand soldiers from the cavalry, and the two armies were merged into a single force to form a cavalry, which was commanded by Tai Shi Ci.

Looking at Tai Shici, who was smiling bitterly, Zhao Yi smiled and said, "Ziyi doesn't have to worry, I will work out the training matters." ”

Tai Shici and the others bowed down to answer the order.

After explaining a few things to Tai Shici and Gao Shun, Zhao Yi happened to meet Qin Chong who came to look for him on the way back to the mansion: "My lord, Gao Zhi, the governor of Shanggu County, came to visit. ”

"Upper Valley County? This Wuhuan cavalry came through Shanggu County, right? Zhao Yi reined in the horse, and his face was a little unpleasant. In vain, Zhao Yi trusted you so much, Shanggu County, and did not send soldiers to the north, but you let the Wuhuan people in.

Seeing that Zhao Yi's face was not very good-looking, Qin Chong couldn't help but be careful when he spoke: "Yes, Du Wei heard that the Wuhuan soldiers had committed evil deeds in Zhuo County, and he came to make amends." ”

"Reparations?" Zhao Yi lightly pinched the horse's belly, "Let's go and see." ”

There was a group of cavalry standing in front of the yamen, all looking tired, and it seemed that they had been on the road for a long time. Gao Zhi was a man in his thirties, and when he saw Zhao Yi entering the door, he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Lord County Guard." ”

Zhao Yi looked at Gao Zhi and personally helped Gao Zhi up: "The general doesn't have to be polite. ”

"The last general has heard of the prestige of the lord for a long time, and he has never had the opportunity to see it. How do you expect to meet under such circumstances? Gao Zhi smiled bitterly, "The last general was ordered to pursue the Wuhuan cavalry who sneaked into the interior, but he was a step late, causing a disaster in the north of Zhuo County, and he came to ask for his guilt." Saying that, Gao Zhi bowed again.

Please? Zhao Yi smiled bitterly, does it work? Gao Zhi is the governor of Shanggu County, even if he makes many mistakes, Zhao Yi has no right to blame Gao Zhi.

"The general doesn't have to blame himself, it's no wonder that the general is doing this." Zhao Yi said something, which meant nothing more than that the general was incompetent, but that the Wuhuan cavalry was too cunning.

Under Zhao Yi's persuasion, the guilt on Gao Zhi's face disappeared instantly: "What surprised the humble position was the courage of the general, four thousand cavalry dared to confront three thousand Wuhuan elite cavalry. And the big victory, which really makes the humble position admire. ”

Gao Zhi expressed his admiration for Zhao Yi very much, and said some things, Shanggu County, and had a lot of complaints about the Wuhuan chief: "The Wuhuan leader of Shanggu is difficult to build, and there are many subordinates, and he has long been disobedient." Now that the situation is turbulent, the county guard is afraid that the department of the difficult building will have a rebellious heart, and arrange sentry agents around it, but I didn't expect it to be a hundred secrets. ”

This Wuhuan cavalry is just a pathfinder for Nanlou, if the inland officials and troops in Youzhou are vulnerable, Nanlou is very likely to extend its tentacles to the interior of Youzhou.

This time, the soldiers were all wiped out, and the difficult building will be afraid and slow down the invasion of Youzhou.

Gao Zhi said that many Wuhuan tribes were harmful to Shanggu County, and at first Zhao Yi was a little strange, he was the county guard of Zhuo County, and said that so many things in Shanggu County have to do with me.

After that, Gao Zhi said: "The Wuhuan cavalry is excited and flexible, but the troops in the county are limited, so they can't take care of it. Things like today may happen again. I hope you are prepared. Zhao Yi understood what Gao Zhi meant, Gao Zhi valued the troops in Zhao Yi's hands, and wanted to use the forces of Zhuo County and Shanggu County to deal with the Wuhuan cavalry.

"Shanggu County and Zhuo County are dependent on each other, if Wuhuan Kou is in the realm, this official will send troops to help." Zhao Yi's words were tantamount to forming an alliance with Shanggu County. This decision Zhao Yi was also well thought out, instead of trying his best to defend the border and waiting for the Wuhuan Kou realm, it was better to unite with Shanggu County to deal with Wuhuan together.

Gao Zhi came here this time for this purpose, and now that the goal has been achieved, his face shows joy: "It is a blessing for the people of Shanggu to have such an ally as Lord Junshou. ”

Gao Zhi led his 5,000 cavalry out of here, and Zhao Yi personally sent them out of the city.

At dusk on the western mountain, the weeds swaying in the wind outside the city reflected by the bloody remnant sun seemed to be covered with a layer of red veil, and Zhao Yi slowly walked down from the city tower.

Zhao Yizheng, who returned to the mansion, wrote down the details of training soldiers, and at this time, the guard outside the door reported: "My lord, Fanyang County Lieutenant Li Si has come to visit." ”
