Chapter 280: Chang'an Movements
In the following two months, the entire northern grassland was swept away by the Youzhou army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Most of the tribes were subjugated, and only a few began to migrate westward.
These westward migrating tribes crossed the green mountains and eventually entered Central Asia. The main body of Xianbei has long ceased to exist, under the control of Huo Yu, after nearly a hundred years of integration, it was finally completely integrated into the Han nation, of course, all this is a later story.
By the time the three-way army returned, the 30,000 cavalry had grown to hundreds of thousands, of course, mixed with the people of the conquered tribes.
Looking at the three people in front of him, Huo Yu said excitedly: "Zilong, Ziyi, and Junyi, it's hard work!" ”
"I can worry about the Lord, we don't work hard!" The three of them replied in unison.
After pacifying the northern grasslands, the population of Huo Yu's subordinates has surged, and now he has 30,000 people selected from the Xianbei people to control the strings, these 30,000 people are of course selected by thousands, but they are the real elite.
Coupled with the original 10,000 flying feather riders, 10,000 white horse righteous servants, and 30,000 wolf riders, now under Huo Yu, only the elite cavalry, has reached 80,000 people.
If you add the trapped camp led by Gao Shun, the infantry soldiers in Xu Rong's hands and the infantry soldiers in other places, Huo Yu now has as many as 150,000 standing troops.
If a war breaks out, the number of participants who can be mobilized at any time can be doubled on this basis. Such a huge army laid the foundation for Huo Yu to dominate the world.
For these soldiers under his command, due to the complex composition, in order to give full play to their potential, in the following time, Huo Yu carried out drastic reforms!
There is a captain of 10,000 people per 10,000 people, and there are 10 thousand teams under the jurisdiction of the commander of 10,000 people, and each team of 1,000 people has a commander of 1000 people, and each team of 100 people has a centurion.
At the same time, in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, Huo Yu ordered the entire Ministry of Engineering to start work day and night, and constantly build standard weapon blades and armor. Equip all the cavalry with bilateral horseshoe, horse chopping swords, Takahashi saddles, and hand crossbows, and carry out brainwashing propaganda in a timely manner, which greatly strengthened the combat effectiveness in Huo Yu's hands.
After unifying the northern grasslands, Huo Yu's goal shifted to Bingzhou, even as far away as the Guanzhong region. At this time, Guanzhong is fertile for thousands of miles, with countless fertile fields, and there are dangerous passes to guard.
However, in the Guanzhong occupied by Dong Zhuo, he is completely in a state of poor living. Dong Zhuo's department will be in charge, burning, killing and looting, and doing all kinds of evil! Because Dong Zhuo selectively turned a blind eye, Li Ru also had nothing to do with these generals.
In the Chang'an Imperial Palace, the young emperor Liu Xie at this time was still a puppet emperor, without any power, and lived a life that was worse than death all day long.
"Your Majesty, you must take care of your dragon body, and you must not give up on yourself." In the palace, Situ Wang Yun said with great persuasion.
"Wang Aiqing, what does it mean for me to be the emperor, I am just a puppet." Liu Xiechang sighed and said.
"Your Majesty, in recent days, I heard that Huo Yu, the general of Youzhou Mu and the auxiliary country, burned Danhan Mountain, and the Xianbei people were almost wiped out, why don't you use such a good general?" Wang Yunyan said
"Why haven't I heard from me?" Liu Xie was surprised.
"General Auxiliary, he has covered an area of thousands of miles, and there are 100,000 mercenaries! It is better for His Majesty to secretly send someone to contact, as long as Dong Zhuo is defeated and his support is obtained, he can return the capital to Luoyang and revitalize the dynasty. Wang Yun said in a voice.
"In this way, I will write a blood edict, and I will send it out on behalf of Lord Lao Situ!" When Liu Xie heard this, his heart moved, and he immediately bit his finger, wrote the blood edict and handed it over to Wang Yun.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister will deliver this trick." Wang Yun replied.
"Everything is up to Wang Aiqing!" Liu Xie bowed solemnly to Wang Yun.
Because Dong Zhuo was addicted to Hewu all day long, his subordinates lax the monitoring of Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, and Wang Yun was very attentive in front of Dong Zhuo, so that the blood edict of Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty flowed out of Chang'an smoothly and headed towards Youzhou.
At this time, although Huo Yu swept through the northern grassland, due to population restrictions, he was never able to control the depths of the grassland well, so that the Huns who saw the opportunity had the hope of recovering their homeland and began to move. However, under the pressure of the Youzhou army, the Huns at this time were also very restrained.
The blood edict of the young emperor Liu Xie came to the territory of Youzhou, and did not directly reach Huo Yu's hands. Instead, it was directly sent to the hands of Princess Wannian, but all of this was under Huo Yu's control, and it seemed that some of the shadow hiding forces in the Youzhou system could not be underestimated.
"My lord, Your Majesty's blood edict has now been delivered to the hands of the princess of ten thousand years!" Shi A, who hadn't appeared for a long time, finally appeared.
"It looks like some people can't stand it anymore!" Huo Yu said coldly.
"Please be at ease, everything is under control!" Sensing Huo Yu's unhappiness, Shi A immediately made a stand!
"Senior Brother Shi, Wang Situ hasn't moved on the Chang'an side yet?" Huo Yu diverted the topic and asked.
"The news came the day before yesterday that Wen Hou Lu Bu often went to his mansion as a guest!" Shi Ah returned with a serious face.
"Senior Brother Shi told Uncle Wang that once the young emperor escapes, he will act according to the plan immediately!" Huo Yu said with a gloomy face.
"No! It's just the princess of Wannian's side..."Shi Ah cautiously reminded.
"It's time to face it! After the army is trained, it will be able to return to Youzhou! Huo Yu stood up and said.
In June 191 AD, Huo Yu, who had completely exterminated Xianbei, led the newly completed 80,000 cavalry to embark on the journey back to Youzhou. During the period again, Huo Yu has already written and reported his merits to the court of Chang'an, as for how the court will reward it, it is not Huo Yu's concern, and now Huo Yu has set his sights on the side of the state.
However, this year, destined to be an extraordinary year, the whole territory of the Han Dynasty encountered famine again, the Xiliang army not only embezzled the money that the young emperor Liu Xie was originally going to take for disaster relief, but also indulged the army to plunder the people, causing a more serious situation, and now the government is in chaos, and the land of Guanzhong is in chaos.
But in the eastern part of the entire Han Dynasty, it is another thriving scene! Compared with the chaos in other states and counties and the fact that the people were in dire straits, a large amount of wasteland was reclaimed for tuntian in Youzhou and Jizhou under Huo Yu's rule, and the policy of benefiting the people implemented by him attracted countless displaced people from the surrounding states to frantically pour into Huo Yu's rule.
