Under the threat of swords and arrows, the Xianbei captives dragged their tired bodies to clean up the battlefield, dug two huge pits, and carried the corpses for burial. Dirt can bury corpses, but the smoke and smell of blood linger over the grassland, and it will not disperse for a long time.

Gather up the war horses and ordnance, lead the army to turn around and converge with Helan Dangfu, and directly set up camp. Rushing and fighting, the soldiers are tired, the physical exertion is huge, and they need to leave time to rest.

Defeated the attacking army of the western Xianbei, and the anger disappeared Liu Yuan wondered in his heart, the western Xianbei came, and it was very strange. Liu Yuan himself led the army to Putou once, and after staying in Xianbei for so long, he actually met on the way back to the army.

If he had the intention to be that yellow finch, why did he come so slowly. Moreover, before Izumo, he sent people to keep an eye on the Xianbei coalition army in the west that was resting in the north of Yinshan. The army of 30,000 is about to cross the clouds, why no one has come to report, which makes Liu Yuan puzzled.

After interrogating several captured leaders, it became clear. After defeating Helian, the Western Coalition pursued all the way to the north and stopped near Yinshan. More than 10,000 captives were collected, and several tribes led by them annexed it, regaining a lot of strength, and expanding the force to more than 30,000 horsemen.

Originally, this was the end of the threat of Helian, which was solved. Later, I heard that the Xiongnu army, under the command of Liu Yuan, attacked Danhan Mountain in Izumo. The minds of the Xianbei leaders in the resting west were lively, and the attack of Helian had caused great damage to their tribal forces, and even if Helian was defeated, the losses could not be compensated.

Liu Yuan's actions just gave him the opportunity to attack Wuyuan and Yunzhong, and ask for some benefits from the Xiongnu. 30,000 western Xianbei came to attack, but Wuyuan could not stop it and quickly fell. The western Xianbei took advantage of the situation to attack Yunzhong, but fortunately, the Xianbei tribes in the northern part of Yunzhong were basically concentrated near Yunzhong City by Liu Yuan, and the Western Xianbei captured a few cities that they regarded as chicken ribs, but they didn't gain much.

Until the army pressed Yunzhong City, there was no one in charge on the Xiongnu side, and there was some chaos, and they were succeeded by it, and plundered many captive tribes back. It was still Wang De who led the "Han army" and concentrated some young and strong people to defend the city.

The western Xianbei tried to attack several times, but failed, and was unwilling to expend troops to attack. Don't dare to rashly go to the southern part of Yunzhong, which is the hinterland that Liu Yuan has operated for many years. It was delayed for a few days, and at the suggestion of the first leader, the army went east, hoping to find an opportunity to bargain for some bargains when Liu Yuan fought with the Danhanshan forces.

Figuring out the ins and outs, Liu Yuan couldn't help but be a little afraid, if the western Xianbei directly went eastward, he was afraid that he would not be able to get a good trip, and even whether he could get out of it was a problem.

Fortunately, however, the heavens are on their side.

"Da Danyu, Western Xianbei has taken a lot of our prisoners in the two counties, do you want to send someone to take them back immediately?" Helan Dangfu asked.

He shook his head and said with a faint smile: "The main force of Xianbei in the west has been destroyed by us, where can the loot that belongs to us escape?" It can be recaptured at will, so that the soldiers can rest and recuperate, and return to the south tomorrow. There are also guards on the side, contact at any time, follow the trend, don't chase too deep. ”

"Yes!"

There were no more twists and turns, the leading army escorted the captured people, went west and turned south for dozens of miles, entered the territory of Yunzhong, rested in Wuquan County, and spent another day to reach Yunzhong City.

Along the way, the traces of war damage are obvious. Wuyuan and Yunzhong two counties, after Xianbei and Xiongnu raided in turn over the years, have already been completely destroyed, no matter how bad it is, it can't be bad, and they have to start all over again.

Yu inspected the city in the clouds, and encouraged Wang De and others who were guarding the city. Sent the army to the west to bring Wuyuan into control again, and the troops who had been plundered by Xianbei in the west before were gathered in the county, and there was not much strength, and they fell into the hands of the Xiongnu.

In less than two days, the two of them led the guards to return, and they pursued all the way to the surrendered city, and the remnants of the Xianbei army were almost wiped out, and only less than a thousand people escaped. 30,000 western Xianbei, since then, once destroyed.

The war is over, and there are more headaches left for Liu Yuan. Now that Wuyuan and Yunzhong have become their own chassis, the restoration and development of the two counties must begin. The tens of thousands of captured Xianbei people needed to be resettled, whether they were reduced to slavery or directly annexed to the Xiongnu tribes. There are also the casualties of the soldiers who went out, the capture and sorting of the army, and the statistics and confirmation of the merits of the meritorious soldiers, which made Liu Yuan very sad.

Originally, Liu Yuan planned to settle it slowly after returning to Meiji, but the cold winter was coming, and there were more prisoners all of a sudden, and there was not enough food. How to feed is also a headache, the seized materials are a drop in the bucket, Yunzhong and Wuyuan have been completely destroyed, and the northern Xiongnu alone are afraid that they will not be able to support it, and they have to be transferred from the royal court.

Knowing that there was not much time to drag on, Liu Yuan simply decided to finish the affairs of the northern border and return to the royal court. The Xianbei tribes were directly annexed and divided into Xiongnu tribes to supplement the Xiongnu population. For these Xianbei people, it was fortunate that they were not taken as slaves, and they did not have much resistance to being annexed by the Xiongnu.

Rise and fall, annexation and being annexed, the rules of the steppe, they are all too familiar. Decades ago, their elders and ancestors may have been a member of the "Northern Huns".

The two northern counties are centered on the two cities of Jiuyuan and Yunzhong, and a part of the Xianbei tribes are placed in them, producing and grazing, and are divided into three yi. The rest all moved south, with Helan Dangfu as the leader of the tribe. The promise to summon him back to the royal court could not be fulfilled, but Helan Dangfu was not reluctant, and there were more opportunities to make contributions in the north.

At the same time, according to Liu Yuan's idea, in the spring of the next year, the Han and Xiongnu will also move some north, live together with the Xianbei captives, pay equal attention to farming and nomadism, and monitor each other.

"It's going to be a tough winter this year!" Before leaving, Liu Yuan said a word to Helan Dangfu. Food shortage is the biggest crux, Helan Dangfu is silent.

"But the coming year will be wonderful!" Liu Yuan was sure in his heart that the land and population obtained in this battle would produce more grain and livestock in the coming year to supply the Xiongnu people and enhance the strength of the Xiongnu.

In the autumn of the sixth year of Guanghe, Xianbei civil strife, Liu Yuan marched north, and defeated the Xianbei tribe lord Putou and the western Xianbei coalition army. Take Wuyuan and Yunzhong two counties, seize the population of Xianbei nearly 100,000, and return with a great victory.

All the way south to Shaling, along the river south, into the West River, to Meiji. When I arrived at the royal court, it was already winter, the weather was cold, and Pepsi was depressed. The soldiers recruited by the two divisions of the center and left were disbanded and led the guards into the city. Against the biting cold, the nobles and people in the city lined up to greet them. Da Dan Yu returned victorious again, expanding his territory, from the nobles to the commoners, all had to show excitement.

Walking on the familiar road and looking at the houses in the city, Liu Yuan inexplicably felt a sense of intimacy. Under the greeting of Lan Zhi, Zheyu and others, he entered the palace.

Stepping on the stiff stone bricks, my heart was much more steady, kicking my legs, riding all the way, there was some numbness and pain between my two strands.

On the top of the main hall, Liu Yuan ordered someone to take the map of Bingzhou, and lightly drew a circle along the city with his finger.

From the junction of the five plains and Shuofang, all the way to the whole territory of Yunzhong, plus the west of Dingxiang, until the central and northern part of the West River. After returning from this battle, the Xiongnu's sphere of influence in Bingzhou more than doubled. "From now on, these places are the territory of my Huns!" Liu Yuan's voice floated through the hall.

"Congratulations to Da Shan Yu!" "Big order is mighty!"

Enjoying the compliments of the ministers in the hall, Liu Yuan's physical exhaustion seemed to have subsided a lot. Staring at the Xiongnu "territory" on the map, this is not enough!
