In late May, the army reached Xuwu County; Zhang He had already received an order to lead his troops to Xu Wu County to wait; Zou Jing and Cheng Zhiyuan also rushed to wait in advance according to the order.
A military conference was convened immediately after encampment.
Cheng Li spoke first: "According to the general's opinion, the goal of the Captain's Mansion this year is to incorporate the Wuhuan tribes in Shanggu County, Youbeiping County and Liaoxi County. β
Since military merit is necessary to be promoted, everyone is particularly eager for military merit.
Zou Jing said: "Captain Cheng, how you say to fight, we will fight, now we are strong and strong, and we are not afraid of the Wuhuan people." β
Zhang He said: "Captain Cheng, except for the Wuhuan King Nanlou of Shanggu County and Qiu Liju, the Wuhuan King of Liaoxi, now the Wuhuan people are not to be feared, what I am worried about is that the Wuhuan tribe is eliminated, we will face the Xianbei people, is the General's Mansion fully prepared for this?" β
Cheng Li was very satisfied with everyone's performance, and said with a smile: "Haha, don't worry, listen to me; Wuyan, the king of Wuhuan in Beiping County, is very weak, with only more than 800 falls, and I am ready to let Captain Zhang Du and Captain Cheng Huan lead the troops to kill Wuyan and incorporate his tribe; According to the general's arrangement, Chengde County was established on the bank of the Lishui River, with Cheng Xiaowei as the county magistrate. β
"Yes!" Zhang He and Cheng Huan were very happy, Wuyan only had more than 800 falls, and it was very easy to eliminate them.
Wet water is the Luan River of later generations; Chengde County is the location selected by Gao Shun according to the map.
Cheng Li continued to arrange: "County Magistrate Zou and Captain Cheng Zhi led the men and horses of the headquarters and Wan Sima to the Qinglong River Valley, wiped out the Wuhuan Qinglong tribe, and set up Qinglong County in its station, with Cheng Zhi as the county magistrate. β
"Yes!" Everyone was very happy, the Qinglong tribe only had more than a thousand falls, and it was not difficult to eliminate them.
"Subsequently, Wan Sima and Zhang Sima followed me to Baishi City, exterminated the Wuhuan White Wolf Tribe, and built Jianchang County there, with Wan Sima as the county magistrate of Jianchang County."
"Yes!" Wan Hong is very happy that he can finally lead the army independently in the future.
Cheng Li continued: "The lord is now in Yangle City, Liaoxi County, and it is estimated that he will return soon, and I hope that before the lord returns, you will complete the task." β
"Yes!" Everyone didn't feel much pressure on this, and they responded happily.
"Presumably you all have understood the lord's policy towards the Wuhuan people, I won't say more, I just remind you, those who dare to disobey, all of them will be killed, and they must not leave any troubles, and we must remove the threat of the Wuhuan tribe to us once and for all, after that, we can go all out to deal with the Xianbei people, you must not be soft, do not have a merciful heart; Preparations begin today, and the departments will leave early tomorrow morning. β
"Yes!"
Zhang He asked: "Captain Cheng, the last time Wuhuan attacked, it was King Wuyan who gave us a warning in advance, do you want to let him go this time?" β
Cheng Li said dissatisfiedly: "Don't have a merciful heart for Zhang Duwei, foreign races are unreliable, I hope you don't miss the general's major events and ruin Zhang Duwei's future." β
Zhang He smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, Captain Cheng, I understand." β
Cheng Li also explained in detail the number of cavalry and infantry established by each unit, and the quality could not be reduced.
The next day, the troops set off in turn, and Cheng Li led Dian Wei, Zhang Fei, Wan Hong, and Cheng Zhiyuan and others to Feiru County.
Gao Shun explained Xu Rong's affairs in Liucheng, and left a middle-level military attache Ren Jun Sima to lead 1,600 infantry to garrison Liucheng, with four songs, each of which has a junior infantry and three tun sword and shield soldiers, and the infantry is served by the junior military attachΓ©, Gao Shun specially raised the force value of the junior military attache to 65.
Then he set off and traveled west along the Yushui River valley to the county he had chosen, preparing to help Xu Rong establish this county first.
and left 1,600 infantry and 500 junior cavalry in the county, each led by two middle-ranking military attachΓ©s; In addition, a mid-level civil official was left to serve as the county magistrate.
Subsequently, Gao Shun and the others moved in the direction of White Wolf Stone City.
They met Cheng Li in Jianchang County.
At this time, Cheng Li has completed the predetermined goal.
The king of the Qinglong tribe and the king of Wuyan were beheaded, and the tribe was completely co-opted; Seeing that things were not good, the king of the white wolf tribe immediately led the tribe to surrender, and resigned as the king, willing to go to the Han land to serve the people.
For such an interesting person, Cheng Li did not embarrass him, and promised not to deprive him of the title of king, let him go to Jixian County to live, provide a house, and provide ten gold of living expenses by the Wuhuan Captain's Mansion every month.
After Cheng Li reported the results of the battle, Gao Shun was very happy, in this way, there would be no end to the future, and he only needed to guard against the Xianbei tribe.
So Gao Shun asked Cheng Li to handle the rest of the affairs exactly according to his ideas, and the missing junior officers were drawn from his escort team.
Gao Shun asked, "Did you send a battle report to the imperial court?" β
"Not yet, it's better for the general to report in a unified manner."
Gao Shun said: "Okay, it's up to you to draft, and report the achievements of Shanggu County, Youbeiping County and Liaodong County to the imperial court, I don't want the battle merits, all thanks to the school captain's mansion, with this merit, Cheng Xiao Wei is enough to be a marquis." β
Cheng Li was very happy, with these feats, it was more than enough to seal the county marquis, and he hurriedly bowed: "Thank you for your great kindness!" β
"It's okay, I've been named the champion marquis, and my official position has also reached the general of the expedition to the north, so it's useless to have any more military exploits, let's talk about other things!"
Cheng Li asked, "My lord, how do you deal with those Han people?" β
Gao Shun decided to adopt Xu Rong's method in Liucheng, so he said: "Haha, this is easy to do, the Han people who were originally enslaved by the Wuhuan people all continued to live as civilians in the newly established counties, distributing land and cultivating cattle, as for those Han people who fled to the Wuhuan tribe on their own, they were all reduced to slaves, responsible for clearing wasteland and grazing and other work. β
"Yes, my lord." Cheng Li was very satisfied with Gao Shun's arrangement.
Gao Shun told Cheng Li about what happened in Liaoxi County, he had recovered the Wuhuan tribe in Liucheng, Liaoxi County, Xu Rong served as the governor of the northern part of Liaoxi County, and the future military and logistical supplies were all under the jurisdiction of the General's Mansion, and Cheng Li could be dispatched at any time.
The next step is to coordinate with Liaoxi County to defend the end of the sun and repair the endless road from Liucheng to Feiru.
Cheng Li was overjoyed, and in this way, it would create conditions for an all-out counterattack on Xianbei in the central and eastern Xianbei, so he suggested: "General, if this is the case, the importance of the endless road is self-evident, and he suggested that in order to increase security, it is necessary to send troops north to occupy Pinggang and expand the buffer area with Xianbei." β
Pinggang is located in the upper reaches of Wuhou Qinshui, and the occupation of Pinggang will cut off the road from the Wuhou Qinshui River valley to the Xianbei people, and Lulongdao will be safe, and the flank of Wuzhidao will not be attacked by the Xianbei people.
Gao Shun is very supportive of this, the military of Liaoxi County and Youbeiping County is too weak, if the Xianbei people are forced to be anxious, they are very vulnerable to the attack of the Xianbei people, so he decided: "Okay, I suggest that Captain Cheng sit in Feiru City, coordinate and command the troops and horses of all departments, and make every effort to defend the eastern Xianbei after cleaning up the Wuhuan people, and use the Xianbei people as a whetstone for exercising the righteous army, so that the Xianbei people and Wuhuan righteous soldiers will die to the death, I am not willing to raise some righteous soldiers who eat idle meals." β
Cheng Li said: "The existing military force is not enough, and we need to continue to recruit officers and soldiers." β
Gao Shun decided: "You can continue to recruit troops locally in the name of the Captain's Office, as long as you are qualified, whether it is cavalry or infantry, all of them, I hope you will train a strong army within two years." β
"My lord, in this case, the cavalry will be overnumbered, and the infantry will be insufficient."
"Don't be limited to Your Majesty's orders, the border county area, often fighting with foreign races, must be cavalry as the mainstay, infantry secondary."
"Yes, my lord!" Cheng Li took over the burden happily.
Gao Shun planned, after that, Cheng Li was in the east and established the Youzhou Army; Tian Feng was in the west, establishing the state army; Strive to cripple or drive away the central Xianbei and the eastern Xianbei within two years, and completely occupy their territory.
