Chapter 281: A Rich Harvest
Liu Fan led 5,000 cavalry to the rear of Xianbei.
The guards of the Xianbei nobles and the leaders of the Xianbei tribes wanted to rush over to intercept Liu Fan's command, but where could they withstand the soldiers of the Han army, the Han army would be killed in a short time.
Tens of thousands of Xianbei people and important ministers did not dare to act rashly under the prestige of the Han army.
"Those who want to live, dismount and be bound! Otherwise, there will be no mercy! ”
Liu Fan ordered the soldiers and horses to surround them, the Xianbei nobles, and the leaders of the various departments were very desperate for their lives.
Those who know Chinese, after hearing Liu Fan's words, dismount one after another.
Although it is claimed that men and women control the strings, it is only relative.
Until now, they didn't even know how many Han soldiers there were, and they were completely vulnerable in front of thousands of Han soldiers.
Immediately afterwards, the rest of Xianbei also dismounted and surrendered. When most of the Xianbei give up resistance, no one will choose to resist.
"Yun Chang, take someone to help Dian Wei." Liu Fan said to Guan Yu.
"No!" After Guan Yu received the order, he led a team of cavalry to rush out of the walled gate.
After Dian Wei killed the beggar bones, he greatly revitalized the soldiers of the Han army.
The beggar bone is the first warrior of Xianbei, in the eyes of the Xianbei soldiers, the beggar bone is an invincible existence, he was headed by Dian Wei in the thousands of armies, and the blow to Xianbei is huge.
Originally, the Han army had been suppressed, and now the Han army in turn suppressed them.
When Guan Yu led the army to arrive, the Xianbei cavalry who were fighting were terrified.
The Han army came out of the West Gate, so what about their own leader?
Die or be captured!
They are engaged in a pointless battle.
If you lose, you will die. Won, useless.
Without any hesitation, a Xianbei cavalryman surrendered to the Han army, knowing that the tide was over.
After a series of battles, the Han army had planted the seeds of fear in their hearts, and in the face of the Han army, they had no intention of fighting.
On the other side, Zhao Yun led the army to conquer the Wan Qi Division, and Huang Zhong conquered the Qi Fu Department and captured many people.
Xu Chu led the army to break the Xianbei cavalry that remained behind, and Xianbei was alone in the court, and there was no Xianbei cavalry that could interfere with the advance of the Han army.
When the dust settled, the Xianbei tribes around the Xianbei Shan Court sent support arrived.
Xianbei Shan Yuting was subverted, and countless adults were captured by the Han army, and even the leaders of their tribes were captured by the Han army.
Shan Yuting was captured, leaving them at a loss.
The Han army broke through Shan Yuting in such a short time, and the Xianbei reinforcements were very afraid of the Han army's force.
But it is impossible to get them to surrender to the Han army. If the leader is not there, a new leader can be promoted. After surrendering, he could only be a slave of the Han army.
Liu Fan ordered Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, and Zhao Yun to lead 3,000 cavalry to line up in front of tens of thousands of Xianbei reinforcements.
Liu Fan also did not give the order to attack the Xianbei reinforcements, they captured many important Xianbei figures, and a large number of cavalry were needed to take care of them. These people are of great use to him.
This is the main purpose of Liu Fanqi's attack on Yin Mountain.
The soldiers under his command were insufficient, and they had the advantage of crushing the Xianbei reinforcements, and they fought rashly, and the gains outweighed the losses.
In the end, the Xianbei reinforcements were forced to withdraw due to the might of the Han army.
They couldn't contain the Han army, and they didn't know what to do next.
The fate of Helian Shan Yu is unknown, the tribal leader was captured by the Han army, and Shan Yuting was destroyed by the Han army. The land of Shan Yu was trampled by the hooves of the Han horses.
This is even darker than the great war some time ago.
Is there still a place for them in the land of the Loop?
Now the Han Chinese attacked them in Shan Yuting, and their small tribe was completely exposed to the hooves of the Han people.
Many tribes are hesitant and have difficulty deciding.
To survive, or to perish?
Survive, and where to survive?
……
The Hetao Plain area refers to the bend of the Yellow River and its surrounding basins.
The Hetao land occupies thousands of miles, its soil is fertile, can be cultivated, the enemy is difficult to enter with a combination of three sides, and it can be defended in a face battle.
The main stream of the Yellow River flows through the southern part of the plain, but some of the Yellow River's currents flow from the southwest to the northwest of the plain, flow eastward to the northeast along the northern edge of the plain, and then flow back to the southeast to meet the main stream, so that the whole plain is trapped by the Yellow River, so it is called the Hetao.
The Hetao area is formed by the impact plain along the Yellow River, with fertile soil and flat terrain, which has the advantage of irrigation by the Yellow River, which is very conducive to the development of agriculture.
The area in the north of the Hetao, sandwiched between the Yin Mountains and the south, is a flat grassland, the river arches, and the water and grass are abundant, which is very suitable for animal husbandry.
The Hetao area looks south to Guanzhong and the Central Plains, and is condescending. For the Central Plains Dynasty, controlling the Hetao could use Yinshan as a barrier to resist the threat from the northern nomads and ensure the security of Guanzhong and the Central Plains.
For the northern nomads, occupying the Hetao can be used as a base to go south to Guanzhong and chase the Central Plains. Therefore, the Hetao has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and it is the place where the Yellow River culture and the grassland culture collide in the Central Plains.
"Zuo Junshi, can I take advantage of the situation to recover the four counties of Dingxiang, Yunzhong, Wuyuan, and Shuofang in the north of Hetao?" Liu Fan was on the high ground, looking south at the Hetao, and asked Xun You.
"There are not only Xianbei in the four counties on the border of Hetao, but also the Xiongnu, and the central Xianbei has been disabled by the general, and the Xianbei in the four counties can only be regarded as a lone army. The most tricky is the Southern Xiongnu, although the Southern Xiongnu has been suppressed by Xianbei, but he ostensibly submitted to the Han Dynasty, and the subordinate tribes have Qianhu, Qianghu, and 100,000 people who control the strings. Those who walk a hundred steps are half ninety, please be cautious generals. Xun You persuaded Liu Fan.
Xun You can understand the mind of the lord, who often talks about recovering the four northern counties of Hetao and rescuing the Han people who were enslaved by the Hu people.
After the invincible central Xianbei was defeated, it was natural to recover the four counties of Hetao, but Xun You had a lot to consider.
"Now our army is indeed a little overstretched, even if we conquer Xianbei within the four counties of Hetao, we may not be able to hold it." Liu Fan felt that he was indeed in a hurry.
"The general first brought these captured Xianbei nobles and common people back to Qiangyin, and established a new Xianbei Shan Yuting there, so as to contain Xianbei in various places. Then, while recruiting and training troops, we sent generals to attack Dingxiang County east of Yanmen, and our army slowly advanced from west to east to recover Hetao. Xun You suggested to Liu Fan: "From the moment the general grabbed Helian, the Hetao is the general's bag, it depends on whether the general is steadily lifted or taken heavily."
"The military advisor has a point." Liu Fan nodded.
In this surprise attack on Yinshan, they obtained more than 100,000 horses, and it was not a problem to select 50,000 war horses.
Tanshi Huai unified Xianbei, seized the homeland of the Xiongnu, defeated Fuyu in the east, attacked Wusun in the west, and chased Ding Ling in the north. He Lian left countless gold, silver and jewelry.
He Lian was greedy for money, unfairly, exploited many tribes, and only got in and out of his property, so you can imagine how much gold, silver and jewelry Liu Fan got in this war.
In the court alone, there are countless cattle, sheep, mink and other livestock.
These trophies belonged to Liu Fan and were his capital for recruiting troops.
Liu Fan did not have an order from the imperial court, and recruited soldiers wantonly, and the imperial court would not give him a penny of military salary or a grain of military rations.
And the gold, silver, and jewelry obtained from Xianbei Shan in the court can feed an army of 100,000 for ten years.
