Fu Zhu's strategy was at odds with that of Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu, who hoped to destroy the Huns first with the assistance of Bingzhou and Pingzhou.

However, Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu strongly opposed it, fearing that this would cause fear among the Qiang people and increase the difficulty of pacifying Xiping County.

However, according to Gao Shun's memory, the remnants of the Xiongnu caused more damage in the Wuhu Rebellion, and the relationship between the Qiang tribes was not close, and they had not formed an effective and unified management model, and the influence in the Wuhu Rebellion was small, so he agreed with the opinion of Fu Zhi and destroyed the Xiongnu first.

This made Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu very incomprehensible.

Gao Shun also specially instructed that the Xiongnu Shan Yu, Zuo Xian Wang and Right Xian Wang, as well as their families, should be sent to Yecheng without a single one, even if they are chased to the ends of the earth and spend countless costs, they cannot lose a single person.

This makes everyone even more puzzled, why the Huns are already very well-behaved, and Gao Shun still has so much hatred for them.

At this time, the strength of the Southern Xiongnu was weakened, and since Gao Shun stopped paying hundreds of millions of dollars a year to the Huns, the Southern Xiongnu embarked on the road of decline.

The original Youxian Wang had rebelled, was defeated by the Gaoshun forces, and went away, among which Jiuquan and Dunhuang counties left a large number of Huns to continue to fight with the Han people, which greatly weakened the overall strength of the Southern Xiongnu.

Even the people of the Southern Xiongnu tribe have been attracted by the Gaoshun forces with high salaries and constantly conscripted, so that the number of people has been decreasing.

These conscripted soldiers, who enjoyed the same salary as the Han Chinese, were rewarded handsomely for their military exploits, and were also allocated fertile land and houses, and they gradually took their families away and separated from the tribe; These days, I have been with the Han people for a long time, and I have gradually become accustomed to the way of life of the Han people, married with the Han people, gradually integrated into the Han people, and no longer have nostalgia for the hard tribal life.

The Huns who remained in the tribe were either in poor physical condition and could not meet the requirements of the Han cavalry, or they were nobles or descendants of nobles, enjoying a certain amount of power and unwilling to leave; However, the number of people is dwindling, and their lives have become very difficult.

Later, Gao Shun ordered them to move to the Hetao area in the north of the former Beidi County, although the water and grass were abundant, but the territory was too small to feed so many people, and the Xiongnu nobles took the opportunity to occupy the fertile pastures, which also affected the loyalty of the people to Shan Yu and left one after another.

At present, there are only more than 20,000 officers and soldiers in the Southern Xiongnu, and there are only more than 1,000 people under the command of various kings and commanders, and their strength is not as good as before.

After the death of the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Fuluo, his younger brother Hu Chuquan was appointed as the Xiongnu Shan Yu.

Yu Fuluo had two sons, the eldest son Liu Bao was appointed as the king of Zuoxian, and the second son Liu Qubei was appointed as the king of the right xian.

Historically, the descendants of Liu Bao and Liu Qubei successively established their own countries in the Five Hu Rebellion, and they were brutal and unkind, bringing heavy disasters to the Han people; Only Hu Chuquan was detained by Cao Cao in Yecheng and separated from his subordinates, and his descendants were wiped out in the dust of history.

Gao Shun learned a lesson and instructed Fu to detain all the Southern Xiongnu nobles, break their existing tribal management model, disperse their people, disperse them among the Han people, and gradually integrate.

Fu Zhu first transferred troops from the Xiongnu tribe to support Xu Rong's battlefield in Liangzhou, for which he promised a rich reward.

Hu Chuquan Shan Yu did not suspect it, and did his best to send 5,000 cavalry to assist in the battle.

Chen Gong, the military division of Pingzhou, led the Zhonglang general Xue Yin and others to lead a large army to garrison Linrong County and Sanfeng County, cutting off the road for the Huns to return north.

Zhonglang stationed Sima Ju in Shuofang City, Shuodong County; Zhonglang sent Hezhao to Shangjun to set up defenses; Zhonglang's general Song Xian led the army to Xihe County to set up defenses; Guan Yu even led 10,000 cavalry to arrive in Luyan County, which was close to the Southern Xiongnu camp.

Xu Rong led the officers and soldiers of Liangzhou to defend the westward escape of the Huns; Zhang Ji took the initiative to ask for war and stationed in the area west of Helan Mountain.

Lu Yi sent Hu Zhen into Fuping City, Anbei County, across the river from the ranch of the Southern Huns.

Zhou Fei's officers and soldiers went to Beidi County and Anding County to set up defenses, and gathered cavalry at Xiaoguan to attack at any time.

mobilized so many troops and encircled the Xiongnu tribes with iron arms, making it difficult for them to escape; Everyone was extremely puzzled by Gao Shun's excitement, Gao Shun smiled and said nothing, never explaining.

Subsequently, Fu sent an envoy to Lian County, where the Southern Xiongnu were stationed.

What determines the relationship and attitude of both parties is strength at all times.

The soldiers pressed the border, which made the Southern Xiongnu extremely frightened and puzzled; They have been very loyal to the Han court for hundreds of years, and later they were even more obedient to Gao Shun's forces, why did Gao Shun suddenly use troops against them after being crowned Duke of Wei?

Their strength is so weak, why does Wei Gong still not let them go?

The Han army only surrounded them and did not attack, which reassured them a little.

Some people's first thought is to escape, but most of the Xiongnu nobles have become accustomed to the way of life of the Han people, and are unwilling to go back to the grassland to live a poor life, imagining the fate of the Xianbei people now makes them feel frightened, cut off trade with the Han people, and flee to the north of Yinshan, not even salt, cloth, silk, wine, iron tools are even less pitiful, such a day is better than death.

Besides, it is not known whether they will be able to escape, and their scouts have spotted the Han army west of Helan Mountain, and they are surrounded on all sides.

At this time, the envoy arrived in Lian County, and the two sides immediately began negotiations.

The Huns were anxious to solve their doubts, but the words of the messenger confused them even more.

The envoy said unceremoniously: "Everyone, don't ask why, I don't know why, this is an order from Duke Wei." ”

"Then how does Duke Wei want to treat us?" Shan Yu asked.

The messenger said: "Shan Yu and the left and right kings are all named county marquis, and they enjoy a salary of two million yuan a year, and go to live in Yecheng; The other kings and the commanders of ten thousand husbands enjoyed the treatment of the townspeople, went to live in Chang'an City, and enjoyed a salary of 500,000 yuan per year; The commander of the thousand men enjoys the treatment of the marquis of Guannei, with an annual salary of 100,000 yuan; and give each his house, his servants, etc., to ensure that you have no worries; As for the people, Duke Wei will definitely settle them properly, so don't worry. ”

This treatment was beyond their expectations, but they lost their freedom, lost their people, their tribe would die out, and they would be the sinners of the Huns, and everyone weighed it for granted.

Shan Yu was very unwilling, so he asked: "Can you adopt the method of the Wuhuan people, we Huns still live together and implement the military household system?" ”

The envoy said: "Haha, the king is thoughtful, in fact, our Duke Wei also thinks so, that is, he wants to implement a military household management system for your subordinates; However, the units of the military household are relatively small, and only the centurion can be left to manage, and the conditions in the township are poor, so you should go to Yecheng or Chang'an to live. ”

Everyone had no choice but to accept Gao Shun's arrangement.

This generation of Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu and the left and right Xianwang have weak personalities, Gao Shun is not worried, Gao Shun is worried about their descendants; In fact, Gao Shun's concerns are superfluous, the environment creates people, if there is no chaotic environment, the Han people will be in chaos first, and there will be no chaos in China, and the descendants of the Huns can be lost in history.

When the officers and soldiers saw that the Huns were settled peacefully, they lost the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and they were all very disappointed.

Gao Shun was overjoyed to hear the news, and then spent a huge amount of money to resettle the Huns; and took the opportunity to adjust the armament and transfer Guan Yu back to Yecheng to station; Zhou Fei took the opportunity to take over the defense of Hedong County; Feng Yong took over the defense of Shangdang County, and after that, Shangdang County was placed under the jurisdiction of the lieutenant of the division to increase the security of the central government.

Since then, the Xiongnu have completely disappeared from history, and the Xiongnu who fled west will eventually be integrated with other ethnic groups.
