Chapter 196: Regaining control of Xihe County

"No!"

The infantry was stationed in the city, and Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu were two people, one cleared the field in the south of Shangjun, and the other cleared the field in the north of Shangjun.

Ten days later, the site was basically cleared.

Naturally, I also met some people of other races, mainly in the northern part of the Upper County.

Hearing that the Han army was going to clear the Xiongnu and completely kill the Xiongnu, the whole Hetao was boiling all at once.

The news spread quickly.

After clearing the field, Zhao Yun came back with the troops.

"Your Majesty, we have found a nomadic alien tribe in the northern part of the Upper County, and they seem to be called Tugo." Zhao Yun brought back a few people who slaughtered each other.

"Tugo?" There was indeed such a group in the intelligence, Liu Xie asked, "What do they mean?" ”

Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment before he said: "Tu Ge said that they would only believe it if they heard what His Majesty said, and they wanted His Majesty's guarantee." ”

It's not the worst news, as long as it's not a direct refusal, things are easy to say, Liu Xie said: "Yes, take me away, I have a way to make them believe in me." ”

"Yes!"

Then Zhao Yun took Liu Xie to Tu Ge's territory.

The population of the entire race was not large, only forty or fifty thousand.

Except for the old and young, there are less than 10,000 people who can fight, naturally they have no combat effectiveness, and they usually don't dare to provoke the Huns, they are vassals, and three or four hundred years ago they were still other parts of the Great Huns, in fact, they still have a little relationship with the Huns.

However, the grassland people are not affectionate, and they have always respected martial arts.

So they didn't dare to provoke the Huns before, and now they don't dare to provoke the Han, otherwise they will be wiped out by the Han army in minutes.

"Tu Patriarch Mu Tie has seen His Majesty the Han Emperor." The patriarch of Tu Ge, who claimed to be Mu Tie, respectfully saluted after seeing Liu Xie, he didn't expect Liu Xie to really come, so resolute.

Now they have to make a quick decision, and a decision is related to the life and death of the tribe.

Liu Xie looked at Mu Tie and his men, then nodded and said, "Now that I am here, sincerity has been brought, I wonder if your sincerity can satisfy me?" ”

Mu Tie and the clansmen glanced at each other, and dared to ask, "Mu Tie has a few questions he wants to ask His Majesty, I don't know if it's okay." ”

Liu Xiedao: "If you want to ask anything, ask, I will try my best to answer if I can answer." ”

Only then did Mu Tie say: "Your Majesty really wants to kill the Xiongnu tribe?" ”

"However, the Southern Xiongnu have done too much in the past few decades, in the past they were just a lost dog, and my Han was merciful enough to let them move into the Hetao, I don't want to be ambitious as a wolf, and I don't want to be loyal to the Han, but I have repeatedly plundered the Han people in the south over the years, and I even dared to attack and disturb Guanzhong last year, and its crimes cannot be punished, I will destroy it, and the Han Dynasty will destroy it."

Mu Tie nodded, he understood that the Han and the Huns were incompatible, and there was no turning back, which means that the mortal enemy could not be resolved, so it was reassuring.

Then Mu Tie said: "What about the land where the Xiongnu exterminated the Hetao? What should we do with our tribes? ”

Liu Xiedao: "The Xiongnu were extinct, and the Hetao was under the jurisdiction of the central government, and the county captains and governors were established. All ministries can still graze and recuperate here, enjoy the same treatment as Han people, and they are also Han people, so they are not despised. ”

The same treatment as the people of the big Han Dynasty, this point makes the wooden iron people extremely excited.

You must know that as aliens, they are suppressed all the time, and many things are strictly restricted.

Especially the salt industry, iron tools, and so on.

Glancing at Mu Tie and the others, Liu Xie continued: "However, after enjoying the same treatment as the people of the Han Dynasty, we must also fulfill the same responsibilities and obligations as the people of the Han Dynasty, we must guard the Hetao, draw soldiers into the army, pay taxes, obey labor, and also be loyal to the Han Dynasty, be loyal to me, and learn the etiquette of the Han Dynasty." ”

After hearing this, Mu Tie and the others pondered for a while, they did not have a large population, and their ambitions were not as big as those of the Huns, they just wanted to live a stable life, what Liu Xie said was just in line with their expectations, so they nodded and agreed.

In fact, if he didn't agree, it wouldn't work, Liu Xie not only brought sincerity this time, but also brought knives and soldiers. The rebellion will precede the Xiongnu and disappear into the Hetao.

Liu Xie immediately asked people to send liaison officers and a team of soldiers to station, and then help Tu each register and sort out the roster.

At the same time, he also sent Tu Ge's strong to fill Zhang Xiu's team.

The Xiliang Army has a characteristic, in fact, not all Han people, generally one Han people lead four or five Qiang people to fight, so as to improve combat effectiveness and let the Qiang people give full play to the combat effectiveness of the Han people.

It just so happens that the Liangzhou cavalry has this tradition, and it is good to fill Tu Ge into Zhang Xiu's department, otherwise it will seem conflicting.

Zhao Yun's cavalry, Liu Xie did not plan to do this, but to the troops of the pure Han people, because such troops can fight inward.

He didn't want the blood of the Han people on the sword of the alien race.

However, Liu Xie instructed Zhang Xiu: "If they fight bravely, then they must be treated equally, if they are cowardly and avoid war, then they will be punished as severely as military law, I hope you can treat them as my Han people, and do not make any difference, so as not to cause instability of the entire tribe, so that in the future they will be your solid subordinates, and they will also be part of my Han people." ”

Zhang Xiu nodded and took note of it.

The population of Tu is not much, but there are 40,000 or 50,000, and it can be divided into five or six county seats, which is also a large amount of income.

Then, further north, to the west of Xihe County, another Laoqiang tribe was contacted.

Because of Tu Ge as an example, Lao Qiang also quickly negotiated.

The destruction of the Xiongnu can make the people in the entire Hetao area live a better life, and there is one less emperor who is a powerful and blessed earth, so naturally all ethnic groups are happy to have the Han army attack the Xiongnu.

With these soldiers drawn from various departments, Liu Xie gathered all the cavalry, and then killed Meiji.

It was necessary to compete with the remnants of the main force of the Xiongnu again, but most of the Xiongnu chose to migrate out of the Xihe River with Liu Bao, the king of Zuoxian, and went to Shuofang.

Therefore, Liu Xie did not encounter the remnants of more than 10,000 Xiongnu main forces in the Meiji area, but some small Xiongnu troops who were unwilling to leave and tried to resist to the end and see the situation.

These were naturally cleared by Liu Xie's army.

The entire Xihe County was fully recovered, and there was no shadow of the Huns.

Of course, this is a good thing, but it didn't make Liu Xie much happy.

"Liu Bao can still be recognized by the Hun tribesmen, these Huns are a little surprised, and would rather move to Shuofang and cross the desert than fight with our army." Zhao Yun said with emotion.

Once upon a time, the Huns, who were once powerful, have now become street rats, and they were beaten like this in the first war, which is really unimaginable.

What Liu Xie wanted was to destroy the Xiongnu, and now more than 10,000 main forces led the tribe through the desert to the west of Shuofang to recuperate, which is really not good news.

Of course, Liu Xie was not worried, but said: "It's okay, they can escape for a while, they can't escape for a lifetime, it's okay to go to Shuofang, if we can justify it, continue to hold the troops of Tu Ge and Lao Qiang, and even unite other tribes in the north and Shuofang, there is a danger of the Xiongnu, Shuofang will not be calm, and it is also a kind of vigilance against other tribes, so that they have a reason to lean towards us." ”
