"What do you say? Hugou withdrew! Is this true? In a certain barracks in the east camp of the Xixiang Army, Liu Ye asked in surprise to the scout squad leader in front of him who had just finished reporting the intelligence of the allied forces.

"Yes! Sovereign. This morning, the last two Hugo armies in the Hugo camp were evacuated one after the other. Hu Gou's camp was also set on fire before they left. The scout leader said with his head down.

"Hugou just withdrew? How is this possible? Liu Ye whispered in disbelief. Even the battalion was burned, which really proved that the Hu people had really retreated.

In fact, as early as the day before yesterday, Liu Ye had already received the news that three different Hu troops had left the coalition camp. After all, the movement of the three divisions of Tizi, Beina, and Tutunu from the coalition camp is quite large. It is impossible to hide from the scouts of the Xixiang Army. After Liu Ye received the news at that time, he also held a brief emergency meeting.

At the meeting, most of the top brass of the Xixiang Army believed that there was internal strife among the Hu people, and that the three Hu troops obviously did not want to continue fighting, so they broke away from the ranks of the Hu people's coalition army. After all, the virtues of the Hu people are understood by the high-level of the Xixiang Army. During the meeting, Tang Jue suggested that Liu Ye take advantage of the split of the Hu people and the morale of the Hu people to immediately send troops to counterattack the Hu people. However, he was rejected by the suspicious Liu Ye. In the eyes of the suspicious Liu Ye, Hu Ren's move seemed to be luring the enemy. After all, the Hu people are not wood, and many of their high-level people are battle-hardened, cruel and cunning. It's normal to play tricks.

Moreover, once they went out of the city to fight, the Xixiang army would lose its fortifications and engage in field battles with the Hu people. The Hu people's ability to fight in the field is far stronger than their ability to attack fortified positions. Without the protection of the wall, coupled with a serious lack of light cavalry to confront the Hu cavalry. With the current strength of the Xixiang Army, it is easy to overturn. Once the field battle is lost, then the Hu people are very likely to turn defeat into victory. So for the sake of safety, Liu Ye rejected Tang Jue's suggestion.

Yesterday, the scouts detected the departure of three different Hu troops. After getting the news, not only Tang Jue, but even Liu Wu and others also came over to ask for battle. They all felt that the fighter plane had arrived, and they could send troops to completely destroy the remaining Hu coalition forces. However, it was still rejected by Liu Ye on the grounds that the enemy situation was unknown. Liu Yezhi refused, in the final analysis, because he now has a big family and has become conservative. is no longer like when I first started my business, poor and white, hovering between life and death every day, waiting for death if I don't fight. Of course! This kind of change is actually not a bad thing, as a ruler, you can't always think of taking shortcuts and walking a tightrope. Steady and steady is king.

Although Liu Ye rejected Liu Wu's invitation to fight, it did not mean that he had lost his enterprising spirit. Liu Ye sent a large number of scouts to investigate the facts. Mainly to check whether the Hu people of each department have really evacuated, whether there is an ambush and the like. If the news was true, Liu Ye wouldn't mind taking a hard bite on the remaining Hu people's coalition forces.

Now the remaining two Hu troops patted their butts and left directly. This made Liu Ye both happy but a little embarrassed at the same time. After all, it was he who stopped the counterattack of the Saigo Army. I also stupidly wrestled with the air for three days. However, as a competent ruler, you must be thick-skinned. Soon Liu Ye adjusted his mentality. As if this matter had nothing to do with him.

……

"Summon, inform the whole army, the Hu people have withdrawn! I'm waiting for victory. After the scouts in the back spread the news that the Kuka Department that had left last was fifteen miles away from Dongying, Liu Ye ordered Liu Ming next to him.

After Liu Ming received the order, he immediately ran out excitedly, ready to notify the whole army. As a member of the Xixiang Army, although Liu Ming did not go to the battlefield, he was also very happy about the victory in this battle.

……

The collapse and evacuation of the coalition forces heralded the final victory of Saigo's 'fire' plan. From the beginning of the night attack on the Awa tribe to the present day, the attempts of the allied forces of the various tribes to exterminate the Saigo army have been thwarted. The whole 'fire' project lasted for more than two months. During this period, it has experienced more than ten battles, large and small. The Saigo Army paid 1,200 casualties for this. It can be described as a heavy casualty.

However, the benefits of the entire 'Fire' project are also quite high. The entire Yuan was included in the ruling range of Liu Ye. At the same time, Liu Ye also gained more than a few thousand people. The wealth accumulated by the Ava Department for many years was also pocketed by Liu Ye. Not only that, after the Xixiang Army defeated the allied forces, it also greatly demonstrated the strong strength of the Xixiang Army to the surrounding Hu tribes. This is a good deterrent to these greedy jackals, so that they do not dare to invade the world.

But in fact, none of the above parts are the biggest benefits that the Xixiang Army has gained after completing the 'fire' plan. The greatest benefit of the 'Fire' plan was that Liu Ye gained great prestige by defeating the Ava tribe and thwarting the allied forces of the various tribes. Throughout Langya County and nearby areas, Liu Ye became famous in a fight.

Don't underestimate prestige, although prestige is only soft power. But in some ways, it has a powerful impact. Such as attracting talent, population, etc.

In troubled times, if you want to live safely. The best way to do this is to take refuge in the strong. There is no doubt that Saigo, who has just defeated the coalition of various tribes, has entered the ranks of the strong. In addition, Xixiang belongs to the Zhao people (that is, the Han people) and has a fatal attraction to the surrounding Zhao people. After all, in the north of Shenzhou, where Zhuhu was raging, the life of the Zhao people was really difficult, and they were often bullied by the Hu people, and Zhao people often rebelled against each other. Now a Zhao force that dares to resist the Hu people has suddenly appeared, and it also has the strength to defeat thousands of Hu people. Liu Ye believed that as long as he used a little bit of small means. The nearby Zhao people will definitely rush to vote.

In the turmoil of the times, what is most important. There is no doubt about the population. Now due to the large number of Zhao people in the north of Shenzhou, there is a large decrease. Population is becoming more and more important. So far, Liu Ye's rule has a population of more than 20,000. If we put it in China in the new century, it is estimated that it will not even be able to compare with a township. But in the northern part of Shenzhou during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it could be regarded as a force (although it was not ranked). In Langya County, it is the top existence.

If Liu Ye is like a salted fish without dreams, he only thinks about eating and waiting for death all day long, and he can be a local tyrant in the countryside with peace of mind. With Saigo's existing strength, that's enough. But Liu Ye has a great dream of dominating the world. With Saigo's current strength, it must be far from enough. Therefore, Liu Ye now needs to continue to expand the population and accumulate strength. After conquering the entire Yuan, Liu Ye did not lack arable land, and he could introduce the population without worries.

……

The army pays attention to Zhang Chi's degree. As Liu Ye, who has more than three years of 'rich' experience in leading troops, he can already grasp this degree well. On the third day of the evacuation of the Kuka Division, Liu Ye rewarded the whole army. The reason why it was held on the third day was mainly because the cautious Liu Ye was afraid that the Hu people would come back and forth.

Because he was preparing to sacrifice the whole army, Liu Ye opened a ban on alcohol that night. Each person will enjoy one pound of wine, and the generals will be counted separately.

The alcohol content of ancient wine is not very high, and it tastes sweet and sour, but it is a bit like a drink. With the amount of alcohol that Liu Ye has trained in the new century, it is impossible to get drunk. But I can't stand a lot. In the various banquets held in the past, almost all the guests would constantly toast Liu Ye. Liu Ye is not easy to refuse, every time he gets drunk. However, in today's banquet, Liu Ye has already prepared. Liu Ye was very witty and specially arranged for the little goblin to sit with him. Sure enough, the goblin came out, one on top two. With the plague god of the little goblin in charge, few people dared to come forward to toast. The little goblin is famous in the Xixiang army. Most people hide away when they see her.

But today Liu Ye forgot one thing, that is, he didn't control the amount of alcohol the goblin drank. Although the leprechaun drinks well, her wine is very poor. Due to the lifting of the alcohol ban, coupled with the fact that Liu Ye has been chatting with Cui Xiao, he didn't notice the goblin. Known as the 'drunkard', the goblin has been drinking, and no one dares to care about her. By the time Liu Ye found out, it was too late, and the goblin was already drunk. As soon as the leprechaun got drunk, he began to go crazy with alcohol. It made the whole banquet smoky. Liu Ye had no choice but to leave ahead of time with the goblin in his mouth.

……

Tonight's moonlight was good, shining in, and the very cute face of the little goblin was printed. Looking at the cute little drunken cat, Liu Ye's index finger moved. Slowly, he unfastened his shirt and stepped forward. Tonight is still a long time.
