2. "The soldiers in the first row obeyed the order...... Hold the knife and step forward - slash! ”

The soldiers in the second row obeyed...... Hold the knife and step forward - slash! ”

……………………………………

The white blade flashed, the head fell to the ground, and on the dry river-sandy land, a massacre was underway, and it was 30,000 captives who were executed, and it was not the Han soldiers who killed them, but a group of deep-eyed and high-nosed Hu people, who were also their original allies!

In the battle of Kushuichuan, the Han army won a complete victory, killing 40,000 enemies, capturing 60,000 alive, and half of them were killed by Qian and Hu. ”

Half of the people killed are the Qiang people, these guys are extremely cruel, inhumane, they actually feed on the flesh and blood of the Han family, and behave like wild beasts, Xiao Yi has already passed down the military order - 'Slaughter all the Karma seeds, and leave no one behind', completely cut off this 'poisonous seedling' that endangers the Han family! ’

Half of the stay is the Hu people, the land of Xiliang, Hu and Han live together, the proportion of the population accounts for half, hundreds of years of getting along, the two sides get married, and the bloodline is gradually fused together, such as the Ma family father and son, it is a standard mixed-race, many Xiliang soldiers also have Hu blood, and even pure-blooded Hu people!

Killing 30,000 Hu captives, their relatives and friends will inevitably be resentful, and those soldiers with Hu blood will probably also be dissatisfied, which is very unfavorable to pacify the twelve counties of Xiliang!

If you kill them, you will lose people's hearts, and if you let them go, you are afraid that they will disturb the place, then the best way is to ...... Take it for yourself!

Xiao Yi calculated that there are three major benefits of absorbing Hu prisoners, one of which is that it can replenish the source of troops, in the Battle of Kushuichuan, the Han army lost more than 30,000 people and suffered heavy losses, and replenishing the Hu prisoners into the army is equivalent to 30,000 more 'shields', and fighting a war can reduce the casualties of the Han army's soldiers, why not?

Second: You can collect the hearts of the people of Xiliang, pardoned 30,000 Hu people, their relatives, friends, and fellow villagers add up to hundreds of thousands, these people must be grateful to Dade, support the Han army's westward expedition, and the people's hearts are all obedient, are you afraid that you won't get the land under your feet!

Third, take precautions, Xiao Yi is full of ambition, what he wants is to 'run the twelve counties of Xiliang and plot the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions', advance step by step, and plant the banner of the Han Dynasty in the west.

Of course, if you want to subdue these Hu people, it is like taming a vicious dog, you must take a two-pronged approach, both grace and power, not only to gnaw a meat bone, but also to let it know the power of the leather whip, obedient, just stay at the gate, if you resist a little, immediately peel the skin and eat the meat!

Xiao Yi passed down the military order: All Hu people who enlisted in the army and were willing to serve the Han Dynasty were not guilty of their past crimes, and each person was rewarded with a jar of wine, ten catties of meat, and a bag of corn.

"The Metropolitan Governor is victorious! …… Yongchang of the Han Dynasty! ”

On the one hand, they drank wine, ate meat, and led the army's salary, and on the other hand, they cut off their heads and became dead ghosts, no matter how stupid people knew how to choose, the 30,000 Hu prisoners of war did not hesitate at all, and all chose to join the Han army, kneeling on the ground to thank them, and were willing to serve the Metropolitan Governor!

The next thing is simple, in order to prevent changes, 30,000 Hu people regrouped, broke the original tribal range, the personnel were mixed, and the officers were all served by Han people, so that it was like putting a neck ring on a hound, not afraid of it resisting!

The best way is to let them act as 'executioners', cut off the heads of the people, and completely break off the relationship with the previous master, which can be regarded as a 'vote of name'!

Xiao Yi's plan was very successful, and the Hu people performed very well, in order to please the new master, they did not hesitate to raise the butcher's knife and slaughter the old master, and it only took half a day to cut off all 30,000 people, and the heads were piled up, fully showing the true character of a loyal dog!

After the execution of the captives, Xiao Yi ordered to clean up the battlefield, collect the bones of the Qianren, and according to the old rules in the army, ram the loess and build a 'Jingguan' to deter people's hearts and show off the great martial arts of the Han Dynasty!

With the help of 30,000 Hu people, the project progressed very quickly, 60,000 or 70,000 corpses were piled together, forming a huge 'Jingguan' with a height of more than 20 zhang and more than 50 zhang around.

After completion, Xiao Yi ordered to insert 100 spears, 100 steel knives, and 100 arrows around the periphery, and asked the craftsmen in the army to carve the stone statues of the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, the Xuanwu, and the four divine beasts, and divided the feng shui murder positions in the four directions, so that the soul of the people will suppress the nine shadows and will never be born!

Treat the enemy as ruthlessly as a cold winter, and treat your own people as warm and caring as spring...... For this famous saying, Xiao Yi understood it very thoroughly, the ghosts of the people all went to hell, and the heroic spirits of the Han army should ascend to heaven!

The bodies of the fallen soldiers of the Han army were all selected, cleaned, put on clean battle robes, burned incense and worshipped, burned into ashes with fire, and then put them into black clay pots, and then wrote the names, ages, origins, and military exploits of the deceased, and then sent back to their hometowns, so that their heroic spirits can enjoy the sacrifice of their relatives!

There are also the remains of some Han soldiers, on the battlefield, trampled and ravaged by thousands of troops and horses, become unrecognizable, can no longer distinguish the identity, in desperation, had to gather them together, after incineration, sent to a special military cemetery for burial, and send people to sacrifice at four o'clock, will never cut off blood food!

As for the families of these martyrs, they will also be given preferential treatment, exempted from taxes for ten years, and can also receive some land, money and food subsidies, if they have adult heirs, they can be given priority to enlist in the army, and the state is responsible for raising minor children, in short, in a word...... "The blood of the soldiers will never be shed in vain!" ”

"In the first year of Jian'an, in the fifth month of summer, on the 23rd, the governor of the Han Dynasty conquered the west, the Wuchou Xianghou - Xiao Yi, offered tribute, and sacrificed the soldiers of the Han army who died in the west: the way of heaven is unkind, the beast invades, the living soul is devastated, the people are crying, the Han family is the son, rise up to fight back, the sword points west, and the flag is like a cloud...... Life is brave, death is famous, heroic spirit is immortal, incarnate as a ghost, long bless the Han land, Yongzhen frontier...... Woohoo, alas! ”

After chanting the sacrificial text and bowing, Xiao Yi drew his sword in his hand and pointed obliquely at the remnant sun, "Han family soldiers, the next target...... Yumen Pass! ”

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Yumen Pass, located at the west end of the Hexi Corridor, is in danger of guarding the danger, communicating the east and west, the strategic location is very important, the city pass is more than three zhang high, the circumference is eight miles, the rock is the base, the blue brick is built, it is indestructible, the land of the Western Regions is rich in jade, and it is often sent into the interior of the Central Plains, so it is named!

The world has such a description of Yumen Pass: 'The camel bell is long, the people shout and the horses neigh, the caravan is crowded, the messengers come and go, raise the eyes and look into the distance, the swamps are all over, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, the Great Wall is winding, the beacons are standing tall, the poplars are upright, and the springs are green............

Two days later, Xiao Yi commanded the 100,000 allied forces of Han, Qiang, and Hu, holding high the banner, and marched all the way to the Yumen Pass, and half an hour later, he became the master of this Xiongguan!

It's not that the coalition forces are strong, but the strength of the pass is too weak, the battle of Kushuichuan, the elite of the people was lost, and there were only thousands of Zahu stationed at Yumen Pass, the troops were insufficient, and the fighting spirit was completely gone, after seeing the banner of the Han army, there was no hesitation at all, and the switch surrendered directly!

"Ye Luofu fled back to Dunhuang, and is preparing to move his clan westward, cross the Green Mountains, and return to his ancestral homeland!"

From the mouth of the surrendered troops, Xiao Yi got an important piece of information, the elite of the Qian people has been lost, and there are still hundreds of thousands of remnants, if these people are allowed to return to their hometowns, multiply, and accumulate strength, they will inevitably come back after twenty years and continue to invade the Han land!

Legend has it that the evil wolf has eaten human flesh, it will not be forgotten for a lifetime, and even passed on to its descendants, if you want to cut off its evil thoughts, the only way is to kill the evil wolf, destroy the wolf den, and don't let go of even a little wolf cub!

"General Meng Qi, immediately command the men and horses of the headquarters, day and night, go straight to Dunhuang, be sure to block their return before Ye Luosu escapes, and the army will follow up to destroy this stubborn enemy!"

"The last general obeys the order and blocks the road, so that no one of the Qiang people escapes!" After the horse hugged his fist, he immediately selected people and horses, prepared dry food and drinking water, and after an hour, he led the troops out!

'Slaughter all the seeds, leave no one'...... It is the main goal of the army's westward expedition, but before he starts, Xiao Yi has to solve a hidden danger, the enemy in front has been defeated, and the enemy behind must also beware...... "Come here, transfer fifty sword and axe men to listen to the order, and then invite General Jiang Qi to come to the discussion!" ”

Drawing his sword in his hand, Xiao Yi looked at the east and sneered: "Ye Luosu, the male lion, is about to perish, and the next opponent is Yuan Shang, a famous and noble dog!" ”
