The remaining thousands of Xianbei accompanied Kebineng and Murong Bo to self-immolate on the battlefield chosen by Zhang He. And Zhang He, Jiang Yan, and Li Jin looked at the battlefield for a long time and did not leave, until more than 30,000 corpses of Xianbei were burned.

The unbearable Zhang He led the soldiers to dig the cemetery on the spot, and simply buried tens of thousands of people who were burned to ashes, and spent a little time erecting tombstones and carving epitaphs for all Xianbei. When more than 10,000 Han soldiers mourned for the Xianbei people, patches of snow fell in the clear and cold air.

"It's winter!" Zhang He spread his hand to take the snowflakes scattered in the air.

"yes, it's winter!" Jiang Yan looked up at the sky and agreed. Li Jin was silent, looking at the tombstone they erected for Xianbei stupidly.

Although they had never communicated, the three of them were asking themselves in their hearts. Such a conquest, even if it can protect the stability of the Northern Regions, but it is worth it to spare human lives so much. Although they were puzzled, the three of them also knew why they insisted so much in the letter, but the casualties were too appalling, and the three of them were not used to it.

"Lord, Northern Regions Battle Report!"

When Xiang Ao heard this, he was slightly curious and took the battle report that Xu Shu submitted back from the front line, and looked at it carefully. After reading it, Xiang Ao did not appear happy or angry. Hand over the battle report to Xi Zhong and Hu Zhao to browse. After reading it, the two didn't know how to say it. It's really terrifying, more than 30,000 Xianbei, 30,000 lives, it's so simple that there are no bones.

Xiang Ao teased Xiang Ping in his arms with a low mood, Xiang Ping also felt that Xiang Ao was unhappy, and he no longer made trouble.

"Lord, do you think Yuan Zhi is too cruel this time?" When Xi Zhong saw Xiang Ao like this, he asked out loud. But Xiang Ao didn't answer, and at the same time stopped teasing Xiang Ping. Seeing this, Xi Zhong knew that Xiang Ao was still willing to listen.

"My lord, for the sake of generals, you must not be swayed by emotions. The purpose of the conquest is to achieve the best results for the forces that are said to be effective. One: Annihilate the enemy; Two: Reduce casualties. Brother Yuan did it all this time, and he did it well. ”

Xi Zhongzuo bowed to the south: "Brother Yuan is worthy of His Majesty, worthy of the lord, and worthy of many people in the Northern Regions!" ”

"Maybe it's a little cruel, and even hurtful. But Brother Yuan behaved like this, but he did something that the lord couldn't bear to do, and he took such a sin for the lord, and it was righteous! ”

Xiang Ao was stunned when he heard this. After a while, it was even more abrupt. Xiang Ao raised his head, put down Xiang Ping, stood up and said to Xi Zhongzuo: "Thank you Zhicai!" ”

Seeing this, Xi Zhong hurriedly got up and bowed: "Don't be like this, our courtiers share the worries of the lord, it is the responsibility of the prince!" ”

"That's true, Brother Yuan is not an extremely vicious person, and from Zhao's point of view, Brother Yuan's decision to make such a decision is also extremely uncomfortable!" When Hu Zhao heard this, he also knew it in his heart, and sighed to himself on the side.

"Kong Ming, you can sort out the battle report and submit it to the imperial court!" Xiang Ao didn't procrastinate after communicating: "However, the strategy process has been slightly modified, especially in the final battle of 30,000 Xianbei, don't let the people in the court seize the handle." ”

"Shao Province! Don't worry! Yuan Shaozuo bowed, and ordered someone to send paper and pencils, ready to write on the spot.

"I've been restless these days, and I feel that there will be changes in the court, and it will even affect the entire Han!" Xiang Ao looked a little anxious and said: "The matter of defeating Xianbei will be presented to Luoyang as soon as possible, so as not to change." ”

"That's right!" Xiang Ao turned to Hu Zhao and said: "In this campaign, try to read as many as possible about the merits of the major generals, and seek official positions from the imperial court, you have followed me for several years, and there is no official canonization so far, I feel very guilty!" ”

"The lord is worried, if he comes for an official position, does the lord think that Shao will follow the lord?" Hu Zhao looked at Xiang Ao with a smile and said.

Xiang Ao didn't say much when he heard this, and smiled with relief.

"Daddy, Daddy!"

"What's wrong, Ping'er?" Xiang Ping took Xiang Ao's palm and came to the side of the map of the mansion.

"Daddy, is this the map?"

"Of course!"

"Is such a bulge a mountain?"

"Ping'er is so smart, it's the peak."

"That depression should be a river!" Xiang Ping said to himself, seemingly very interested in Yutu.

"What's the use of this flag?"

"Ping'er, this flag says 'Xiang', which means Ping'er's father's soldiers and horses, and this one says 'Xianbei', which is Xianbei soldiers and horses."

"Oh! That's right! Xiang Ping suddenly realized, and asked: "Then whose soldiers and horses are these 'white' and 'black'?" “

"They are all rebels, and they don't obey the discipline of the court!"

"Why are they surrounding Daddy!" Xiang Ping still said curiously.

When Xiang Ao heard this, he looked at Xiang Ping in amazement, and looked at Xi Zhong. Xi Zhong was even more surprised. How old is Xiang Ping at this time, and he will only turn two years old in a few months, so you can know that they are surrounding Xiang Ao by asking a few words? No way? Do you want to guess so accurately!

"Hmmm! There's also a 'Han' here, huh! There is also a 'emperor' here, a lot of soldiers! Why are there so many soldiers and horses around the 'emperor'? Are they going to surround the Emperor? Xiang Ping didn't see the expressions of Xiang Ao and Xi Zhong, and still said to himself.

"Why is there a small 'He' in the 'Emperor', and what does it mean?" Xiang Ping raised his head and looked at Xiang Ao suspiciously.

"The courtiers of the 'emperor' have only seized a lot of the power of the 'emperor'." Xiang Ao squatted down and patiently explained to Xiang Ping.

"Oh!" Xiang Ping replied abruptly and continued to look at the map.

"This 'He' is really strange, and he wants to take advantage of the power of the 'emperor'!" Xiang Ping was extremely ignorant and unclear.

"Daddy, if you really want to seize power, why doesn't this 'He' allow heavy profits to take advantage of external power to succeed?"

Xiang Ao's head roared when he heard this, and Xi Zhong's eyes widened even more when he was beside him. Talking unintentionally, listening with heart. With a simple question, Xiang Ao thought a lot. On weekdays, when I watched the map, I regarded He Jin as a person in the court, and I never thought that He Jin would take advantage of the external situation. Although Xiang Ping didn't know anything else, and what he said didn't mean anything, in Xiang Ao's ears, he thought a lot.

He Jin has always fought with the eunuchs who united with the Empress Dowager Dong, although he has not been suppressed, but he has few advantages. Now that Liu Hong is critically ill, there is a possibility that he will leave at any time, if he invades Hun at this time, what will happen if he introduces foreign forces into Beijing? I don't want to know, the more I think about Xiang Ao, the more frightened I become. If the foreign forces are finally Han Dynasty, it is fine, but if there is a little selfishness, the court is very likely to be doomed.

It seems that Xi Zhong also thought of what Xiang Ao thought, and looked at Xiang Ao with a shocked face. Seeing the expression of wanting to do so again, Xi Zhong was even more determined in his thoughts.

"Ping'er, go to play with your mother, my father and the teacher have something important to discuss."

"Oh!" When Xiang Ping heard this, he was not unhappy, and walked out of the house with a jumping step. It's just that the moment Xiang Ping stepped out of the door, the corners of his immature face turned up, and after quietly glancing into the house, he followed Jiao Meng, who had been guarding Xiang Ao, to the backyard. However, Dian Wei looked confused, and secretly wondered in his heart: I just have my eyes? Why did you see such a strange expression on the young master?

Dian Wei shook the strange thought in his head vigorously, pursed his mouth, and stood up straight to continue to guard outside the room.

"Lord, although the young master said it unintentionally, I'm afraid that if Your Majesty has any accidents, He Jin may really come nonsense." After Xiang Ping left, Xi Zhong was extremely worried and said: "What's more, Zhong remembers that the lord once said that there are people in the court who are instigating people with ambitions in the world to cholera the dynasty. ”

"What Zhicai said is also what I am most worried about!" Xiang Ao also said solemnly: "If this is the case, the matter of Xianbei in the Northern Regions must be dealt with as soon as possible." ”

"Awe!"

"Lord!"

"Immediately send an order to Zilong, before the end of the year, to help Ji Hou eradicate the eastern Xianbei."

"No!" Dian Wei received the order and hurriedly went out to find a herald to deliver the order to Zhao Yun, who was far away in Yuyang.

"My lord, it seems that the deployment of our northern region must be redeployed quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to cope with the changes in the DPRK and China!"

"I have to think about this matter a lot, and after I have the first draft, I will quickly submit it to me, and it will be decided as soon as possible after discussion, and I still have some important things to arrange."

"No!" Xi Zhong didn't say much, and took the order to leave.

Xiang Ao also left Hu Zhao alone to write the battle report and left in a hurry.

When Jiang Yan, Li Jin and others broke the central Xianbei according to Xu Shu's arrangement. Gao Shun also followed Xu Shu's arrangement to defeat Xianbei five days ago. killed more than 10,000 people, captured more than 20,000 Xianbei soldiers, and most of the rest absconded, and Gao Shun, who did not have too many cavalry, had no choice but to watch Xianbei escape.

However, there are not more than 10,000 Xianbei who have escaped, and it is expected that there will not be much threat to the Northern Regions for the time being after they disperse. After Xu Shu replied and didn't need to pay attention to it, Gao Shun didn't pay attention to Xianbei who fled.

In fact, there is no need for Xiang Ao to urge, at this time in the Yuyang territory, Zhao Yun and Gongsun Zan are planning to plan for Xianbei in the east. In fact, Xianbei in the east is divided into two parts, and the one that attacked Yuyang County is only one of the weaker ones, if it weren't for the Wuhuan rebellion in Liaoxi that has been eyeing the sidelines, coupled with Liu Yu's ignorance of Xianbei, Xianbei on the front line of Yuyang has already been broken by Gongsun Zhan.

But fortunately, Zhao Yun came to help, so that Gongsun Zhan could free his hands and clean up Xianbei.

"General Zhao, Wuhuan is the most worrying big trouble for the Benzhou Mu, why do you want to destroy Xianbei first?" After Liu Yu heard the news, he rushed to Jixian County and questioned Zhao Yunlai.

"Governor Pastor, please Mingjian!" Zhao Yun took out Xiang Ao's letter and handed it to Liu Yu and said: "Yun Nai was ordered by General Wei to come to Yuyang to help Ji Hou exterminate Xianbei!" ”

Seeing this, although Liu Yu was dissatisfied, he still took Xiang Ao's letter and read it carefully. After reading it, Liu Yu had to sigh lightly, helpless.

Xiang Ao could not send troops to any place in the Han Dynasty without the permission of the imperial court, but everyone in the court knew about it. Even if Liu Yu asks for help this time, if it is aimed at Wu Huan, Xiang Ao will not be able to act casually and send troops to Yuyang. If it is to send troops to crusade against Xianbei, it is understandable, after all, Xiang Ao has the right to supervise the entire northern war, as long as there is an enemy invading the border of the Han Dynasty, Xiang Ao will have a reason to send troops, and will not fall into the mouth.

In desperation, Liu Yu had to follow Gongsun Zhan's previous advice, attack Xianbei first, and then clean up the Wuhuan rebels.

There is no general in Xianbei on the front line of Yuyang, and after Gongsun Zan gets Zhao Yun's help, he will definitely be able to solve Xianbei's problem very quickly.
