Chapter 105
With the death of Tuoba Lin, the Xianbei army fell into a complete decline, and it was difficult to gather effective resistance or even counterattack. Tuoba Jiefen, who has been struggling to support him, discovered the crisis of Tuoba Neighbor for the first time, and wanted to bring people to support, but was dragged by the people and couldn't break free.
Seeing that Tuoba Lin was beheaded by Wan Qianjin, his eyes were bloodshot, regardless of the desire to rush to Wan Qijin and kill him for revenge. But at this time, the morale of the army was scattered, and the resistance of the subordinates was weakened to the lowest point, and not many people followed him to kill. Before he had gone far, he was surrounded by the Qiang people, slashed with swords from all directions, resisted for a while, fell down with a strong unwillingness, and was chopped into meat puree.
As soon as Tuoba Lin's father and son fell, the situation was completely under the control of the "Huns", Wuyue and Wang De closely dispatched and commanded, and Wan Qijin was in the middle to deter, and the remaining Xianbei people were easily solved.
An order to surrender and avoid death dispelled the last will of the western Xianbei to resist, and under the strong pressure of the Xiongnu soldiers, they gave up resistance one after another and were controlled.
Some Xianbei leaders, seeing that the general trend had gone, were unwilling to surrender and unwilling to surrender, so they led people out of the camp and left for their lives. For these people, Wu Yue and Wan Qian didn't deal much with each other, let them leave, they were no different from beasts without minions, and they couldn't pose much of a threat.
In this western steppe, whether they can survive is a question, and the final result of those people is just to be swallowed up and turned into the dust of history.
After several devastation, the Xianbei camp in the west finally gradually returned to calm, although many Xianbei tribesmen escaped, but also captured tens of thousands of people, and the harvest was huge. Send someone to watch over all the Xianbei people and keep them stable.
The people were proud again, and looking at the Xianbei tribesmen who had once again surrendered to their own obscenity, many of them had red faces. wantonly slashed and killed some people, but was severely stopped by Wuyue. At this time, the most important thing is to survive this dark night and count the gains and losses of this battle in the future.
Looking at Wuyue's majestic appearance, Wan Qianjian's face flashed with displeasure, he was the commander of the army. immediately roared loudly, attracting everyone's attention, giving orders, and also full of prestige.
Regarding Wan Qianjian's performance, Wu Yue didn't make a sound, his face was indifferent, but there was a trace of anger in the depths of his eyes, which was hidden by him.
……
In Bingzhou and Wuyuan County, Liu Yuan took the guards to Jiuyuan City. The weather is hot, the sun is scorching, and the gold is flowing, and Liu Yuan is in a happy mood. Gently urging the horse, while talking to Wang Rou beside him, he marched west along the river.
After sending Wan Qian to unify the army to the north to conquer Xianbei in the west, Liu Yuanbian was not idle. For Dahan, although he has temporarily given up his ambitions, his attention has never relaxed. Over the years, the "Sinicized" teenagers who have grown up have been sent to Jinyang a lot, working under Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, in the name of "assistance", but in fact, they are monitoring and inquiring about news. Over the years, the reins around their necks have been a little looser, and the two of them are a little restless.
In the Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Rebellion intensified, and although the imperial court tried its best to suppress it, it was not yet effective. Although the center of gravity is on the north, the south is the ultimate goal, but it also involves part of Liu Yuan's energy.
Internally, since the development of the strength of the Xiongnu, last winter, the Xiongnu people suffered a lot of losses, at this time Liu Yuan relaxed control, let it develop freely, and quickly recovered its strength. There are also most of the Xianbei people captured by the Northern Expedition, and after annexation, they have to be treated whether they live or die before they can be completely digested into the strength of the Huns.
At the beginning of summer, Liu Yuan led the guards to inspect the four directions, Yunzhong and Wuyuan, which was the last and most important journey. Most of the Xianbei tribes were placed in these two counties, and Helan Dangfu did a good job, with the support of the royal court, but there was no major turmoil.
Attacked by the cold winter, these Xianbei people suffered heavy losses, but after they were eliminated, the rest were strong people and women, girls and children, which were the most valuable for Liu Yuan.
This time to the north, in addition to patrolling the territory and paying attention to the northern expedition army at any time, it is also the proper meaning to subdue the Xianbei tribes, spread the majesty of the big order, and turn it into a real "Huns".
All the way to Jiuyuan, I can occasionally see the "new Huns" who are driving cattle and sheep to graze, with joy, it is obvious that they are slowly recovering and getting used to their new identity.
What excites Liu Yuan the most is the discovery of Wuyuan iron ore. In recent years, it has been constrained by the shortage of iron ore and has been unable to vigorously develop iron tools, especially armaments, and its development has been slow. Under Liu Yuan's painstaking search, the entire Xiongnu was still in the Bronze Age.
It is thousands of miles away from the iron age that Liu Yuan imagined, and he has always been thinking about the "Baotou" iron mine. After taking control of Yunzhong and Wuyuan, Liu Yuan ordered Yan Luo, the ordnance supervisor, to lead a large-scale search between the two counties. First, I turned over the clouds and got some small mines, which was a drop in the bucket.
The colleague who disappointed Liu Yuan was also angry for the first time, and after several years, Yanluo still did not solve the ore problem, so his patience was almost exhausted. Yan Luo was also ruthless, and under Liu Yuan's strong pressure, he continued to excavate in the two counties day and night, and finally excavated a large area of iron ore in the central and eastern parts of Wuyuan.
"Big, so big!" This is the retribution of Yanluo. His indescribable state of excitement and excitement gave Liu Yuan a premonition that he had really discovered a big mine. After inspecting it in person and listening to the description of the experienced craftsman, Liu Yuan was also rarely excited.
At this time, iron ore will no longer be a headache for Liu Yuan, but he will have to worry about the lack of craftsmen and strength, and he will not be able to mine and smelt quickly. However, with sufficient iron ore, the rest is not a problem, Liu Yuan seems to have seen the scene of the Xiongnu people using iron tools, and the soldiers and soldiers all using iron knives and iron swords, crisscrossing the four directions.
Shi Shiran returned to Jiuyuan City, Wang Zhi had already prepared a hot soup bath, soaked for a while, washed away the dust, and with a happy mood, he was refreshed and anxious. Wang Zhi was very discerning, and found two beautiful Xianbei girls for Liu Yuan, both of whom were virgins, and only after being pampered did he calm down.
Wearing single clothes, as soon as he went out, he saw Wang Zhizheng respectfully waiting by the door. There was no trace of impatience on his face, and when he saw Liu Yuan coming out, he immediately said with some flattery, "Da Shan Yu, have you rested well!" ”
Liu Yuan smiled on his face and said, "You did a good job!" ”
When Wang Zhi heard this, the joy on his face became stronger, and he was very happy in the face of Liu Yuan's praise.
After becoming the Taishou of Wuyuan again, Wang Zhi felt more comfortable and happy than before, and there were more households under his rule than before, and he once again became a person of the people, holding the power of a county. Of course, it would be better if there was no Helan Dangfu, a Hun nobleman, by his side.
