There is no intention of surrendering at all.

Before Yuan Xi let Gao Gan attack, he planned to consume his soldiers and horses, but now that his soldiers and horses are all owned by him, naturally Yuan Xi will no longer fight with the Hun soldiers desperately.

Fighting with the Xiongnu, Yuan Xi felt that it was a waste to lose a single soldier.

It's much easier to fight siege warfare, at least for Guo Jialai.

He offered a plan to surround the Xiongnu Wangcheng and cut off the water source, and within half a month, the Xiongnu Wangcheng would collapse by itself. When the time comes, you won't be able to fight yourself.

Yuan Xi discussed with the generals and adopted this suggestion to cut off the three water sources behind the Xiongnu King City. On that day, the people of the Xiongnu King City panicked. Hu Chuquan even sent people over to denounce the Han people for treachery.

made the generals funny, not to mention anything else, the Huns were stupid, but they seemed to be extremely treacherous.

After being besieged for a period of time, Yuan Xi took the initiative to withdraw a defense, the purpose of which was to make Hu Chuquan give up his desperate plan.

Sure enough, as soon as this opening was released, Hu Chuquan no longer ignored it like last time, but personally led 50,000 troops and fled directly to the city.

So Chu Nan almost didn't make much effort, and attacked the royal city of Huchuquan.

"Lord, if the tens of thousands of horses in Huchuquan are not defeated, sooner or later it will be a danger." Zhang He pleaded: "The last general is willing to lead his troops and horses to chase after him." ”

Yuan Xi naturally won't really give up Hu Chuquan, he just doesn't want to chase so quickly, playing psychological warfare, and letting Hu Chuquan run first is better than directly sending someone to chase after Hu Chuquan and Hu Chuquan will come back and try his best.

"Zhang He, you lead an army of 50,000, tomorrow - go to chase again, remember to only fall behind, don't fight them head-on, in a few days - their morale will be exhausted, and that is when you capture Huchuquan alive." Yuan Xi paused, and said: "By the way, send letters to the surrounding countries, if anyone dares to accept Huchuquan, don't blame me for not being merciful." ”

In addition to the rest of the Xiongnu, there are naturally other countries here, but these countries are different from the Xiongnu, and Yuan Xi has no interest in them for the time being. As long as he completely defeats the Xiongnu, these small countries will naturally be convinced, and Yuan Xi can take advantage of the situation, but he doesn't want to expand his territory to the northwest at present, and if he expands again, it will be Youzhou's finances that are unlucky.

This kind of place, with the birthplace of the four counties of Xianbei and the rest of the Xiongnu, is enough.

Zhang He led the army away, and Yuan Xi held a celebration banquet in the royal city that night.

After the celebration banquet, Yuan Xi began to lead his personal guards to return. Leave the rest to Zhang He, he can completely solve it. There is not much point in him staying.

On the way back, Yuan Xi carefully studied the map of the remnants of the Xiongnu, and divided the place into three and set up three counties.

It is said that the old land of Xianbei and the territory of the remnants of the Xiongnu can fully meet the requirements for establishing a state, but Chu Nan did not do this.

Although the four counties of Xianbei are currently under the name of Youzhou, Yuan Xi has not managed them as Youzhou pastor. So it's just a name.

The old land of the remnants of the Xiongnu is even worse than the old land of Xianbei, although the area is vast, but Yuan Xi does not plan to vigorously develop this side, it is best to let it develop naturally, so it is enough to send people to manage, he is ready to hang in the name of the state, after all, there are too few counties in the state, far less than Jizhou and Youzhou.

But this manager gave Yuan Xi a headache, in this era, if you send someone from Youzhou to manage it, everyone will definitely be unwilling. After all, the bitter cold land is equivalent to being exiled? Who wants to come here? Even though the territory is very large.

Youzhou was already a bitter cold place before, and Yuan Xi had countless capable people, but it took more than ten years to sort out Youzhou into its current appearance. In the old Xianbei land before, Yuan Xi still invested a lot of energy, and also held a special meeting and discussed it for this purpose, and everyone's enthusiasm was only a little more enthusiastic, of course, it was still based on the situation that the people under the second uncle were newly descended and urgently needed to make meritorious contributions.

For such a long time, Han Yin and Han Meng have also changed the style of Xianbei Old Land a lot. But the current situation is different, compared with the old land of Xianbei, the land that Yuan Xi has laid now is even worse. If you want to send someone at that time, you must tell people what policies there are, otherwise who wants to take over?

But Yuan Xi didn't think about what policy to give at all, although the last time he vigorously developed Xianbei old land achieved certain results, it still made Yuan Xi understand that this kind of place can't increase development for the time being, and it consumes too much money.

To put it bluntly, the gains outweigh the losses.

Especially now that the state is in hand, he has actual control, and he will take Jizhou next year, these places are really in need of development.

A person flashed through his mind, but it wasn't that he didn't feel that it was inappropriate, so he didn't feel it was easy to speak. Although this place is not a good place, it does not mean that Yuan Xi does not attach importance to it, on the contrary, he attaches great importance to the four counties of Xianbei and the three counties of the Xiongnu. It's still for the future.

In the end, Yuan Xi didn't have any good ideas, so he had to give up. It would be much better to go back and let his subordinates discuss it on their own, and then see him decide on the right person, than to think about it himself.

Before Chu Nan's soldiers and horses passed by Wolf Mountain, news had already come from behind them, saying that Hu Chuquan had been captured by Zhang Hesheng and was being escorted over here.

Yuan Xi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart after hearing this, like a haze shrouded in the foreign disturbance in Youzhou for many years, he knew that under his strong blow, it was completely gone.

The captured Hun soldiers, Yuan Xi did not join the army, but let them participate in Tuntian, as coolies, must be done for three years, otherwise they will not be released, he doesn't want these people to mix together again and cause chaos for him.

With his previous experience in dealing with captives, Yuan Xizhi was not worried about what splashes these captives would make.

When the army entered Youzhou, Yuan Xihe, with dozens of guards, quietly broke away from the large army and rushed to Yuyang County.

Yuan Xi went to propose marriage to the Wang family this time, and by the way, he took a look at Wang Yi's parents.

Although the relationship with Wang Yi has long been determined, Yuan Xi has never met Wang Yi's parents, and he seems to be more casual when he treats her, but Wang Yi is almost a thirty-year-old woman after all, and it is not small in this era, and if it drags on, Yuan Xi knows that even if Wang Yi doesn't say anything, there must be a lot of complaints in his heart.

Of course, Wang Yi didn't go with them, she followed the big army, and Yuan Xi was just a shortcut.

The group, before dark, finally arrived at the nearest post station.
