『Chapter error, click here to report』
In fact, the Wuhuan people who once followed Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju in rebellion were only the tribes of Qiu Juli and others, and the rest of the Wuhuan people did not rebel against the Han Dynasty.
However, for Fu Quan, who wanted to exterminate all the Hu people in Biansai, Qiu Juli's rebellion completely gave him an excuse for the Wuhuan clan.
Otherwise, it was just the slaughter of the Wuhuan tribes controlled by Qiu Juli, for Fuquan, spending so much price, such a large-scale mobilization of troops, just to destroy a few Wuhuan tribes, this is not worth the loss at all.
Moreover, if those Wuhuan tribes are left outside the Saiwai, this will also greatly affect Fuquan's plan, since the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu, the idea of controlling the grassland and the Western Regions is getting lower and lower, except for many generals who want to learn from the former Han Emperor Wu Emperor's period, out of the Sai Domain, to fight to feed the war, kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, still insist on expanding the territory, most of the scribes are not enough food and grass, China's size, the territory is vast, and there is no need to care about the bitter cold land outside the Saiwai as the reason, refuse to go out of the expedition, naturally do not want to expand the territory.
Back then, Dou Xian sent troops outside the fortress, also because he sent people to kill the close branch of the Liu Han royal family, knowing that he had committed a capital crime, and it was difficult to protect it, so he was eager to atone for the death penalty, and relied on the power of the Dou clan at that time to lean towards the government and the opposition, so he reluctantly let the hundred officials in the court agree to send troops.
But in this way, the Han army that Dou Xian could take away was only a few thousand horsemen, and the real main force of the Han army to attack the Northern Xiongnu was the sworn enemy of the Northern Xiongnu who was a vassal of the Han army at that time.
In this, of course, the Han Dynasty wanted to take advantage of the contradictions and hatred between the southern and northern Xiongnu to reduce the losses of the Han army, but also the Han Dynasty itself was really short of grain, grass and money, and most of the officials and ministers were not optimistic about the land outside the Saiwai and did not want to consume too many resources for these places.
Fu Quan knew that with the current strength of the Han Dynasty, it would be difficult to quickly develop those fertile soil outside the Saiwai in a short period of time, and even lose money in the early stage. However, it is an indisputable fact that the land in the Central Plains is no longer enough for the people of the Han family to live, and it is imperative to take precautions to expand the land of the Han family outside the Sai family.
Perhaps, when occupying those lands outside the Saiwai and just starting to emigrate to the imperial court, many people will dislike the remoteness of the road and the bitter cold outside the Saiwai, and they are unwilling to emigrate, of course, this is also irrelevant.
After all, as the land of the Central Plains is not enough for the people to live, more and more people lose their livelihoods, and after a family lives without food, under the stimulation of survival, they will definitely go out of the fortress because of that trace of a way out.
This kind of immigration method, which can only force those people who are destined to survive in the Central Plains, to go out of the fortress to beg for a living, combined with the immigration strategy that Fuquan has been implementing since he took power, to migrate the Central Plains clans to the border counties, obviously from top to bottom, can slowly alleviate the problem of land annexation of the Han Dynasty.
Fuquan believes that when the Han army is wiped out and the Wuhuan people outside the Saiwai are expelled, when the Han soldiers are strong and no one dares to touch the ideas of the Han Dynasty, many undiscovered lands in the north that have always had a lot of resources will be built and developed little by little by those who can only survive here and have no other way to survive, and finally become a piece of fertile soil outside the northern border of the Han Dynasty......
This time the Han army went out of the fortress to attack Wuhuan, Fuquan specially ordered Guan Yu to take Gongsun Chan as the forward, the purpose was naturally some of the meaning of the general, hoping that Gongsun Chan would be ashamed and brave, this time out of the fortress, he was besieged by the Wuhuan people, and finally broke through and almost defeated.
Of course, after all, Saiwai is also the nest of many Wuhuan people, the situation is complicated, in order to ensure that the Han army will not have an accident, Fuquan specially used a chess piece that he buried at random a long time ago, and belonged to the head of a tribe in Wuhuan.
After the envoys of the Han Dynasty made it clear that they wanted to go out of the fortress and attack those who had repeatedly rebelled against the Han Dynasty, they were originally born in the Wuhuan small clan and had a lot of connections with Fuquan, and understood that the Han Dynasty was powerful and Wuhuan was powerless to return to the sky, so he took the initiative to return to the Han Dynasty, and sent people from the clan who knew the Wuhuan situation outside the Saiwai to lead the way for the Han Dynasty army to go out of the fortress.
As for the result of this outing, it is obviously very obvious, the Han cavalry has the help of stirrups and horseshoes, and the second has Wuhuan Neiying, all the way to drive hundreds of miles outside the fortress, and all the Wuhuan cavalry who resisted the Han army could not stop the terrifying cavalry of the Han army and their melee combat was not at all the chopping strength that people in this era could use.
Of course, in fact, before the battle against the Han army, the Wuhuan people also had a premonition of defeat, after all, even the Southern Huns and Tu Geren, who were countless stronger than them, were defeated by the Han army, and even in addition to the Hu people who completely surrendered and only recognized themselves as Han people, the other Hu people were wiped out by the Han army.
In the end, after three months, until the winter, the Han army wiped out several Wuhuan clans outside the Saiwai, including Qiu Juli's control, after more than 20 battles, killed more than 40,000 Wuhuan people, captured more than 20,000 Wuhuan women and children, and other Wuhuan tribes or early contact with Wuyu, abandoned their own clan early, and completely returned to the Han Dynasty, otherwise they kept migrating north and fled to a place where the Han army could not find to survive.
When the news of the great victory of the Han Dynasty army easily swept away the Wuhuan clan and reached the imperial court, the ministers of the court and the central government were all stunned, although they knew that the Han army was not ordinary after defeating the Southern Huns and slaughtering everyone, but they never thought that they could pacify Wuhuan so easily.
Moreover, the imperial court did not spend much money and grain for this, because the strategic method implemented by Fuquan to feed the war by fighting and relying on the reserves of the Wuhuan people to implement only needed Youzhou to prepare a few days of grain and grass for the army out of the fortress, and there was no need for anything else.
At this moment, the ministers and officials were speechless about Fuquan, and no one dared to take advantage of Fuquan's great victory to oppose his military opinions, even Taiwei Cai Yong, who originally did not recommend the army to go on an expedition to the fortress with labor and money, could not refute Fuquan's military strategy, after all, since the new emperor ascended the throne, Fuquan has proved that his military strategy is not wrong with the fact that he needs to win.
That is why, Fuquan took advantage of the power of successive victories, and in March of the second year of Guangxi, he played the imperial court and invited troops to defeat the Black Mountain thieves who surrendered and rebelled.
Although the little emperor Liu Chong did not understand military affairs, he was confident that the Empress Dowager of the Song Dynasty would enjoy the happiness of successive victories after handing over all the military affairs to Fuquan, and naturally the comparison was not allowed.
At the moment, Fuquan is another personnel change, entangled the soldiers and horses of the three states of Merge, You, and Hebei, encircled and suppressed the turtle and retreated in the Heng Mountain, which was defined by the Han Dynasty as the remnants of the Taiping Road, and severely reprimanded the Black Mountain thief army that surrendered and rebelled.
In fact, Fu Quan agreed with the accusation of insufficient money and food put forward by the ministers and officials, however, he had to send troops, that is, he was extremely short of people now.
With the Southern Xiongnu, Tuge, Wuhuan and other ethnic groups for Fuquan to sweep away, the Han in the border, Youerzhou, after a winter, in fact, has been vacant a lot of land, although the imperial court also issued an edict, calling on many people to emigrate, but the time is short, little effect.
Therefore, Fuquan, who wanted the population to farm, considered coming, thinking about going, and finally set his eyes on the millions of black mountain thieves hidden in the mountains, these black mountain thieves were also people and thieves, and driving them down the mountain to make up households and people can not only reduce a hidden danger, but also increase the population of the border county, so Fuquan had to give a death order to Jizhou Assassin Shi Huangfu Song, so that he must raise enough grain and grass.
Although last year's conquest of the Southern Xiongnu, Tu Ge, and Wuhuan, most of them were supported by Jizhou's money and grain, and Jizhou's treasury may be tight this year, but Fuquan believes that with the wealth of Jizhou, Huangfu Song can deal with it by gritting his teeth.
As for the time of sending troops, Fuquan is set for March, which is the time of spring ploughing, and the Black Mountain thieves are no exception, taking this opportunity to catch them off guard is Fuquan's purpose. Moreover, even if they hide in the mountains, they can't farm today, they don't have food, even if they survive until autumn, they have to force those black mountain thieves to go down the mountain.
To the east of Hukou Pass, the mountain is high and dense, endless, only Guan Yu with 8,000 people under his command, let 3,000 cavalry under his command match horses, and the remaining 5,000 people change to walking, slowly crossing the heavy mountains and peaks of Taihang Mountain in this later generation.
The Han army was dressed in Xuan armor, together with blades and dry food, weighing sixty or seventy catties, climbing the cliff every day, and it was miserable. A few days later, they descended the mountain, and then the army went north along Zhangzhang and Qingshui, crossed the mountains and mountains, and searched out the forces hidden in the valley one by one.
At first, the defenders of the valley were extremely stubborn, Guan Yu was furious, ordered the army to storm and slaughter five or six valleys in a row, although the means were a little bloody, but extremely effective, the surrounding forces either surrendered or fled, and no one dared to resist, and successfully collected tens of thousands of people.
After that, the Han army marched all the way north, until it was killed in the plain area of Shangai and Jingcheng counties in Changshan State, Jizhou, and collected the mountain thieves in the Tunbi, a total of more than 100,000 people, and the soldiers turned around, and went west to kill back to the Yangqu Mountain area of Taiyuan County, and repeatedly attacked and collected tens of thousands of people, and then went north to the Yanmen area, first cleaned up the peripheral forces of the Black Mountain thieves in Hengshan almost completely, and then first sent the captives to the border counties of Bingzhou that were also the most short of population recently, and implemented half of the tuntian in the form of military management, and when they took root in the place, they would abolish the military management......
The population of the three counties of Shangdang, Taiyuan, and Yanmen accounts for eighty percent of the total population of the nine counties of the state, but there are only 900,000 people, and this is the result of the integration of more than 200,000 mountain people.
Fu Quan's order to the Han army was that as long as there were still people in Hengshan, all the generals would not come back, and even wrote directly to Guan Yu and others, and if they didn't wipe out the millions of people in Hengshan, they wouldn't want to go any further.
Even later, Fu Quan sent his cousin Fu De to Heng Mountain, the meaning is obvious, that is, the meaning of supervision, this time it is a great deal of attention to the generals of the Han army, and it is even more crazy to catch people, after all, no one wants to be despised by Fu Quan, and there is no chance of promotion.
After the army entered the mountain, Guan Yu found Zhang Baiqi, a general who was born as a black mountain thief, and asked about the specific strategy, and Zhang Baiqi briefly introduced the situation of Hengshan: In the past, although Zhang Yan was the leader of the alliance and gave orders, he could not meddle in the internal affairs of the leaders, which means that he only had a good reputation. After Zhang Yan's death, the heroes rose up and merged with each other, forming several relatively large forces, with the strongest Yu poison in Hengshannan, known as more than 100,000 elite soldiers.
Guan Yu didn't care about these Montenegrin miscellaneous soldiers, and heard that Zhang Baiqi said that Yu Poison was the strongest and the most arrogant, so he immediately decided to take Yu Poison as the first bird to clean up the internal forces of the Black Mountain Thieves.
After Zhang Baiqi heard this, he made a suggestion: "The hussars have an order, this time we will enter the mountain, and the collection of the people will be the first priority, and the war will be the second. More than 100,000 poisonous elite soldiers are falsehoods, but there should be 30,000 or 50,000 strong soldiers, and if they don't die in a battle, they will be troubled in the future, and they are afraid of ruining the hussar general's plan. In the opinion of the mer, when the soldiers are superior to the strong, the strong are in their own way, and the soldiers are small and the generals are outnumbered, they will look up to the heavenly soldiers, and those who descend are like clouds. At that time, we will collect all the people of Hengshan, even if the poison is powerful, there is only one way to surrender, which is called a soldier who surrenders without a fight. ”
"Huh? Have you read a book of war? Seeing Zhang Baiqi's advice, Guan Yu, who had always been disdainful of his thief background, couldn't help but look at Zhang Baiqi with admiration.
Zhang Baiqi shook his head and said: "Mo was born in poverty, relying on the hussar general, and only recently began to be literate. ”
After hearing this, Guan Yu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "In the future, under the command of the hussar general, there will be a place for you." ”
can make Guan Yu sigh, Zhang Baiqi's plan is obviously in Guan Yu's eyes, it is worth using, and he will act according to the plan at the moment.
After the Han army crossed many hills, it finally met the first resistant, who was nicknamed Qingniujiao, and Zhang Niujiao, the big leader of Montenegro in the past, was famous for wearing horns, with thousands of soldiers, and was called a hero.
This battle attracted the attention of hundreds of thousands of people in Hengshan, but unfortunately the green bull horn was not very competitive, and he was killed after only resisting for two days, and it was not the Han army that killed him, but the first general under him, because Guan Yu declared that the person who took the head of the green bull horn worshiped Sima of the other department.
Sima Ke of the other department is not a small official, and he has a strong attraction to the mountain bandits, and Guan Yu also understands that Fuquan wants the population, and he does not want to kill more, so he naturally knows that internal corruption is the best means of co-optation.
Of course, Guan Yu did not break his promise, and after quickly taking the green bull horn, he immediately named him the Sima of other departments, and introduced him as a pioneer, so that all the thieves in Montenegro knew his meaning.
Then it was a smooth ride, Huang Long made the second 'negative material', he was stronger than the green bull horn, resisting for more than ten days, the reason why it was so slow was because Guan Yu was reluctant to use the Han army, and only ordered the surrendered Black Mountain thieves to attack.
It is said that with the two lessons of Qingniujiao and Huanglong, Hengshan Zhuqu Shuai should be more knowledgeable, so Guan Yu
To his surprise, the third rebel came earlier than he thought, and on the third day of the capture of Huanglong, Zuo Shohachi stood up.
"The mantis arm is a car, not self-sufficient!" Guan Yu scolded when he saw this, and in order to deter the latecomers, he led the Han army to storm the eight parts of Zuo Zhangzhang, and he was defeated in one day.
Then, Guan Yu saw that the thieves were still hesitant, and in order to establish his authority, he ordered the spicy hands to slaughter more than 4,000 of his elite and sturdy people, and threw them into Zhangshui, and the zombies were full of rivers.
The black mountain thieves who were hiding for hundreds of miles around were shocked when they saw Zhangshui turning red, and remembered that Guan Yu was the butcher of Fuquan's old department, and they didn't dare to rebel anymore, and they looked at the wind and descended.
