Autumn is crisp and crisp, and the west wind is blowing. More than half of the four years have passed, and Liu Yuan has had a very smooth and comfortable life this year. Bian's stomach was really angry, and he gave birth to a son, named Liu Cheng.

Under his control, the Xiongnu developed steadily, and the reform was steadily advancing. Since Liu Yuan succeeded to the throne, there was almost no war, although the harvest was quite rich, but the losses were not small, the casualties of the warriors, the depletion of the people, plus his tricks and tosses against the Huns.

Originally, after Helian succeeded to the throne, Liu Yuan had the intention of taking the opportunity to attack slightly Xianbei in the north and occupy Yunzhong and Wuyuan, but the resentment from the bottom made him forcibly suppress it. If the strength is not continued, and if he continues to attack by force, it will be the immature Xiongnu system he established that will collapse.

Boycotting the army, raising the people, developing, training the army, and recuperating have become the keynote of the Xiongnu's re-glory and four years. With the buffer and precipitation of this year, the Xiongnu will be stronger in the coming year, which Liu Yuan is still confident in.

During this time, Liu Yuan focused on the whole army and the people, especially the guards. Before the expedition, hundreds of people were killed and wounded, and a fierce selection was carried out, which mobilized the enthusiasm of the Hun warriors. Set up a team to keep inspecting, with Wang Zhi as the envoy, to inspect the tribes of the Quartet, inspect the public opinion of various departments, report Liu Yuan's situation at any time, and thoroughly strengthen his control over the lower tribes of the Xiongnu.

Xiongnu Nandan in the west of the court, the name of the Xiongnu Zhonglang general stationed nearby, around the area of 80 miles, has been Liu Yuan divided into a single Yu special pasture, for its hunting and play, training the army, named Dongsheng enclosure.

Yu made the Xiongnu Zhonglang build a single Yuxing Yuan on the ruins of the station, with a huge point of the platform as the center. Liu Yuan was dressed in bright armor, sitting on the platform, nibbling on pears, staring at the eager army on the grassland below.

This Dongsheng autumn hunt has lasted four days, Liu Yuan has a lot of fun, of course, what excites him the most is the steadily improving combat effectiveness of the guards and the more strict discipline. On this day, Liu Yuan wanted to watch a battle in the army on a whim. Horsemanship, archery, fighting, and fighting, thousands of guards were divided into several teams, staring at Liu Yuan on the platform, just waiting for him to start dancing the flag.

Liu Yuan nodded at the guards, and with a wave of the flag, the guards below moved, and the scene was extremely enthusiastic for a while. In this dry Xiongnu army, there were more than 1,000 Han cavalry prominently.

These Han horses are Liu Yuan's experimental use of absorbing Han people, and more than 1,000 people are no more than no less, and they are just in control. At this time, under Liu Yuan's deliberate restraint, the Xiongnu already had nearly 100,000 Han people, and the entire Xiongnu population was only 500,000 or 600,000.

Hermes-Epitek's growth made Liu Yuan happy, but integration and absorption were a problem. They brought advanced technology to the Xiongnu and spread agricultural civilization, but they were all carried out under the strong intervention of Liu Yuan. Driven by steel knives, after all, it is not a long-term solution.

At this time, there were tens of thousands of Han people in the Xiongnu, and there were more than 10,000 Han prisoners in them, which were all valuable human wealth. There are also some small scholars from Yunzhong, Wuyuan, and Xihe, these people are considered the elite class of the Han Dynasty, and in the Xiongnu, Liu Yuan really wants to completely take it for his own use.

Ordinary Han people, who can live, do not have too much hatred for the Xiongnu. On the contrary, those who were captured and forcibly relocated to Meiji were deeply resistant, and many of them were unwilling to submit.

But Liu Yuan promised heavy profits, and there were always some people who were tempted, and half of the centurions of the more than 1,000 Han cavalry were the children of the scholar clan from several counties, which made Liu Yuan open a gap. The Han cavalry was led by Wang De, and although his talents were mediocre, who taught him to be the first Han general to submit to Liu Yuan, Liu Yuan needed to set an example for the rest of the Han people and treat him very favorably.

The Han people in the Xiongnu today are roughly divided into two categories, surrendering and not surrendering. Surrender to Liu Yuan, be his good citizen, have land, clothing, and meat, although there are still many difficulties, but at least he can survive. As for those who do not surrender, Liu Yuan has no virgin heart, and if he wants to influence or something, he is all regarded as a coolie and a strong man to serve, and the development of Meiji is getting faster and faster, and the demand for labor is becoming more and more scarce.

Retracting his thoughts, Liu Yuan crossed Erlang's legs, leaned back, leaned on the tiger skin seat, and watched the performance of the soldiers in a leisurely manner. The guard army was built by Liu Yuan, and it was the most powerful of the entire Xiongnu, and only the strongest warriors could join.

More than 30 of the most elite condor archers are all powerful, so that the two stone strong bows still have spare strength, competing with each other, a hundred steps away, the arrow hit the bull's-eye, it is easy.

The most shocking thing is the horse racing competition, thousands of soldiers, rushing out of the gate like a gallop, along the water to the north, straight to Huze, that is the turnaround point set by Liu Yuan.

"Huaijing, why don't you go down and play?" Looking at the fierce gladiatorial battle in the field, there were many people with strong combat skills who came out, and Liu Yuan turned his head to look at the servant Gu Huaijing who was immersed in drinking.

Wiping his mouth, Fu Gu smiled with a smile: "The minister is to give these warriors a chance to prove their martial arts to Da Danyu, and they won't end up!" There is an indescribable confidence in the words.

A strong cheer came, one person in the field has won fifteen consecutive victories, and those soldiers are also tiger wolves, this person can defeat fifteen people in a row, which shows his bravery.

Liu Yuan looked at the man with great interest, and when he saw that Liu Yuan was interested, he immediately said: "Da Shan Yu, this person is the commander of the ten masters under the minister, named Long Wei, and he is very brave. Originally a hundred commanders of the southern Huns, he fought desperately during the southern expedition last year, and his team fought to less than ten people, and he did not surrender. After being rescued, he was included in the pro-army! ”

Liu Yuan nodded subconsciously when he heard this, seeing his lack of strength, it was obvious that he insisted on going south, and ordered someone to call him to the general. With a big order to summon him, Long Wei was very excited, and in the envious eyes of the soldiers, he ran to the high platform. They were trying so hard to show themselves so desperately, just to let Da Dan Yu Liu Yuan notice them.

With sweat on his head, he climbed up to the platform in broken steps, didn't dare to look at Liu Yuan more, and knelt on the ground suddenly: "Ten Husband Long Long, meet Da Danyu!" ”

Let him get up without being polite, with a national character face, a strong and powerful appearance, and his expression is apprehensive and excited. Kowtowing was obviously too hard, and there was a clear red mark on his forehead, and there was blood coming out.

Pointing to the wine and meat on the case, he said, "Eat it!" Without the slightest hesitation, he took a bowl of wine on the table and drank it all, grabbed a leg of mutton in the basin and gnawed it, and finished it in a few clicks, which was quite heroic.

Seeing this, Liu Yuan smiled lightly and said suddenly: "The ten-man commander is long, he is fierce and brave, he has won my heart, and he has made meritorious achievements in the past, but he has not been rewarded. Promoted to centurion, rewarded with 10 catties of spirits, 20 cattle and sheep! When Long Wei heard this, his eyes showed ecstasy, and he kowtowed a few more times, thanksgiving.

The centurion is also a middle-level officer in the guard army, and this time the number of new people has been expanded by thousand, and Liu Yuan decided to take a position with a word. According to the regulations of the guards, the selection of centurions and ten-division commanders requires the competition of soldiers.

Although Long Yuan was capable of competing for the position of 100 commanders, Liu Yuan's order had already broken the rules. But in the Xiongnu, Liu Yuan's will is above everything, he has deeply reflected this point in everyone's hearts, no one will come forward to raise objections, only some people will be envious and jealous of Long Yuan, and will be remembered by Da Dan, and the upside will be greatly improved.

To make rules is for others to follow, not to limit oneself to the rules.
