Chapter 464: Hetao Desert

After the Black Slaughter attack, Zhang Liao was very careful all the way, so as not to fall into trouble, but he didn't expect that the next road would be very smooth. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In fact, what he didn't know was that this 10,000-strong cavalry commander Hei Tu was ordered to take the Black Tu Guard to pursue the Qiang people who were making trouble in the clouds, and when he returned, he learned that the Hun army had been defeated, and he happened to meet Zhang Liao's troops and horses, so he came to attack, but he didn't expect to encounter Zhang Liao's hard bones, and the attack failed, but he died.

Zhang Liao took the guard battalion and traveled more than 20 miles, and a horse flew in front, but it was a herald sent by Gao Shun to inform Zhang Liao that King Youxian led the people to surrender and asked him to decide.

Zhang Liao immediately galloped quickly, traveled another fifty miles, and crossed the old city where the original Xiongnu Zhonglang General was stationed, and he couldn't help but be surprised by the situation in his eyes.

I saw a large open grassland in front of me, distributed with a piece of dome, obviously this is a gathering place for the Huns, but now on this grassland, there is a group of Huns kneeling in the black, and I can't see how many people there are for a while.

Gao Shun, Dian Wei and Zhao Yun were all there, Dian Wei and Gao Shun led the army to guard and collect countless weapons and horses, while Zhao Yun led thousands of horsemen to gallop and circle, on alert at any time, murderous.

There were many corpses of the Huns around, and all of them were killed, apparently in a vain attempt to resist.

Seeing Zhang Liao's arrival, Dian Wei and Gao Shun saluted Zhang Liao with tens of thousands of soldiers, Zhao Yun also rode a horse with Xiao, and saluted Zhang Liao on the horse, tens of thousands of people raised their weapons and shouted in unison: "General!" Checkmate! ā€

The huge momentum shook the whole land, and the kneeling Huns all changed color and were silent.

Zhang Liao hugged his fists to the soldiers, and came to the Huns under the support of the soldiers.

Kneeling at the front, King Youxian and King Richai bowed down and said, "The sinners Uli and Date lead 98,000 people to serve the general. ā€

Zhang Liao flew down like a dragon, his eyes swept over the black pressure of a piece of Huns, the defeated soldiers, the young, the old and the weak, women and children, among which the defeated soldiers were concentrated in one place to guard, about more than 10,000, obviously most of the defeated soldiers were collected by this right virtuous king, this person is very aware of current affairs.

At this time, there was no sound on this grassland, only the cold wind hunting, and everyone was looking at Zhang Liao.

Especially the nearly 100,000 Huns, all of them were extremely nervous, they knew that this young Han man could decide their fate, is it life? Is it death? Only in his words.

"Right Virtuous King." Zhang Liao's voice was clear, but all the Huns couldn't help but be nervous: "Are you willing to obey the state government's decree now?" ā€

Uli and Date hurriedly said, "Back to the general, I am willing." ā€

Now the Southern Xiongnu are almost in a situation of extermination, as long as he can protect the tribe, he can agree to anything.

Zhang Liao nodded slowly, looked around at the Huns, saw the eyes of those Huns who were either frightened or resentful, and sighed: "The administrative order of the state government was originally for the stability of the state, which is beneficial to the Xiongnu people and the Han people. ā€

In any case, the people of the Xiongnu will also be the foundation of his annexation of states in the future, so he first pulled his hatred on those Xiongnu nobles.

"I'm guilty." Uli and Ida bowed down again.

"You are guilty!" Zhang Liao said loudly: "But the people of the Xiongnu are not guilty, the weather is cold and windy, all the old, weak, women and children, go back to the dome." ā€

"Thank you, General, for your kindness." Uli and Ida showed joy on their faces, and Uli turned around and said loudly: "General Zhang has an order, the weather is cold and windy, the elderly, women and children under the age of fifteen, each go back to the vault!" Don't thank the general for his grace, act quickly. ā€

Those Huns soon became agitated when they heard the words, and they fell into a large area of chaos, and the Southern Huns rebelled this time, and almost all the young and strong people of the tribes were transferred, and the old people, women and children accounted for the majority of the 100,000 people, there were seventy or eighty thousand, and after thanking them one by one, they all returned to the back of the vault.

The old and weak women and children moved slowly, and this process lasted for nearly an hour, until it was almost dusk, and Zhang Liao watched quietly here, quietly observing the people of the Huns.

These people are not much different from the Han people, the Huns are fierce and warlike, and the Huns are equally hospitable, just as people have good and evil sides, the key is how to control, educate and guide.

Zhang Liao stood there silently, and the slanting sun pulled his shadow out of a long line.

Before entering the vault, almost all of the old and weak women and children of the Huns would look back at Zhang Liao who was standing there, their hearts were complicated, and the hatred in their hearts had faded a lot.

The Huns were young and strong, children, old people and women were often abandoned, and they were more accustomed to the miserable fate of being reduced to slavery after defeat, but this annexed state pastor valued them, which gave them a different feeling.

And in the final analysis, they were the first to provoke this rebellion, can they complain about the state pastor? Many of them had this thought in their minds.

As for the Right Xian King, the Right Ri Zhuwang and a group of Hun soldiers, they felt cold in their hearts, and did not move for an hour, and tens of thousands of soldiers under him stood there with him, without the slightest noise for an hour, as if a grass man and a wood man.

Such a fearful military discipline and will are something that their Huns have never had, no wonder they will lose this battle.

After the old and weak women and children left, only more than 30,000 young and strong Hun soldiers remained on this grassland.

Zhang Liao looked at Wuli: "King Youxian, there are still tribes in the west, right?" ā€

King Youxian hurriedly said: "General Hui, yes, there are still hundreds of tribes in the western desert, about 100,000 people, but they are very scattered. ā€

Zhang Liao nodded, and looked at the Right Xian King and the Right Sun Chase King: "Early tomorrow morning, you and the two will go to the desert with the general to collect the tribe." ā€

"Whoa." The right virtuous king and the right day chase the king are busy responding. That tribe belonged to the right part of the Southern Xiongnu and was under their control.

That night, Zhang Liao sent those young men back to the dome, only ordered Gao Shun, Dian Wei and Zhao Yun to guard 15,000 Hun soldiers, early the next morning, Zhang Liao ordered Gao Shun and Zhao Yun to escort 15,000 Hun prisoners and 5 million cattle and sheep back to Meiji, and then Gao Shun and Zhang He stayed there to sit in the town, and Zhao Yun's Xiao cavalry battalion rushed back, and rushed to the western desert with Zhang Liao.

This desert in the west of Meiji County is located in the Hetao, south of Shuofang County and north of Beidi County, after the Southern Xiongnu moved inward, most of the tribes lived here.

Zhang Liao came to this desert on horseback, but found that the grass planting in the desert had been seriously damaged, and he couldn't help frowning.

If I remember correctly, this area in later generations has become a desert, called the Kubuqi Desert, with a radius of 100 miles, and the Kubuqi Desert seems to have been recorded since the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and there was no record before the Later Han Dynasty.

In this way, the desert has become a desert, and it has been more than 300 years.

Grassland into desert, generally two situations, one is over-cultivation, the other is over-grazing, this area has been controlled by foreign races since the Later Han Dynasty to the Northern and Southern Dynasties, obviously not because of land reclamation, then there is only one reason, overgrazing.

"Right Virtuous King." Zhang Liao immediately ordered: "Within a month, all the tribes in this desert will be moved out." ā€

"Whoa." King Youxian answered, and couldn't help but say: "It's just that the people of my clan are used to grazing, and if they leave this desert, I'm afraid it will cause riots." ā€

"No matter what riots, you must move!" Zhang Liao's tone was tough, and when he saw King Youxian bowing his head, he sighed and said: "King Youxian, you take a closer look at this desert, the loss of grassland is so serious, if it goes on like this, but in a few decades, this place will become a desert, and it will be difficult to recover." ā€

The Right Xian King and the Right Sun King were both shocked, and when they carefully observed this desert, their expressions kept changing, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

Zhang Liao said: "When the Xiongnu were outside the Saiwai, they were constantly migrating by water and grass, and the grassland after your grazing can be restored, and after moving inward, they will live in this area for grazing, which has caused serious damage to the grassland here, so the tribes here must move away and graze in other places, and after more than ten years of recovery, they can come back again." ā€

King Youxian bowed and said: "The general's vision, I might as well wait, we should follow the general's order and lead the tribe to move away from here." ā€

The king of the right day also said: "The general's kindness to heaven and earth makes us deeply ashamed. ā€

Zhang Liao nodded: "I know that the Huns have always cherished the grassland, and after the tribes are organized into the workshop, those who are willing to continue grazing can open pastures inside and outside the Great Wall and move for grazing." ā€

"Thank you, General." The right virtuous king and the right sun chase the king looked happy.
