Chapter 334: Recovering Shuofang County

After sending someone to deliver the letter, Guan Yu then took out Gao Shun's letter of appointment and appointed Zhang Yang as the northern governor of Beidi County, stationed in Fuping County, and responsible for managing the military and political affairs of Lingzhou, Lian County, and Lingwu County. Fastest updates

Guan Yu left all the newly recruited 15,000 cavalry and more than 20,000 infantry under Zhang Yang's jurisdiction, and the 3,000 cavalry under Zhang Yang's original jurisdiction also remained in Beidi County.

More than 20,000 infantry, equipped with more than 20,000 Xianbei war horses and equipment, immediately became more than 20,000 outstanding cavalry, and Zhang Yang's strength suddenly increased greatly.

The 10,000 Xianbei people who were captured were imprisoned in several places and forced to work.

Zhang Yang was very happy with this arrangement and was very grateful to Gao Shun for his trust; Now that he has nearly 40,000 officers and soldiers under his command, he began to think about how to manage and train so many men and horses well, build a strong army, and live up to the trust of his lord.

The Han people are good at defending cities, the Qiang people are good at field warfare, leaving nearly 40,000 horses, even if the Qiang people have nearly 100,000 people, they don't want to easily occupy these cities, Gao Shun is very relieved about this, and he also wants to see Zhang Yang's ability, can he train an invincible strong army in the war.

In Gao Shun's impression, Zhang Yang's personality is stable, loyal and honest, not suitable for survival in the Central Plains, and that kind of intrigue life is not suitable for him, so it is better to let him guard the frontier.

Subsequently, Guan Yu led 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 Hun cavalry to the north to support the war to recover the northern part of Shuofang County.

According to Gao Shun's order, Guan Yu led his army north, preparing to occupy Linrong City, Woye City, Sanfeng County and Jiming Village, and blocked their escape passage before the Xianbei people could react, so as to capture all the people of the leader and turn all their livestock into booty.

At the beginning of May, after receiving the news of the death of Emperor Liu Hong, Gao Shun was unmoved and continued to insist on recovering Shuofang County. After the system is upgraded, it will definitely provide him with better support.

He originally thought that the system could be upgraded after recovering part of the territory of Beidi County and Anding County, but it was still a little close, as long as Shuofang County was recovered, it would definitely be upgraded.

Wen Chou and Xue Yin, who had been prepared for a long time, were very excited, if they recovered Shuofang County, then they would all participate in the war to recover Yunzhong County, Wuyuan County and Shuofang County, which was a very honorable thing.

This time, the two were full of confidence and prepared to dispatch 30,000 cavalry, with infantry remaining behind.

The strength of the Xianbei people, after internal strife, division and their blows, is not as good as before, and the leader and the 10,000 cavalry led by him were wiped out by Guan Yu in Beidi County, causing their strength to weaken and lose their commander-in-chief, and the Xianbei people in Shuofang County are by no means their opponents.

Due to the increase in exchanges between Xianbei and the Han Chinese, ferries were set up along the Yellow River in the northwest of Xi'an County, and there were ferries to and fro, which was convenient for merchants and trade.

Wen Chou first ordered the garrison of Xi'an County to block the ferry, cut off the communication between the two sides, and prevent the news of the mobilization of the army.

After receiving the news from Guan Yu, Wen Chou and Xue Yin immediately led the troops to set off.

At the beginning of May, the troops successfully crossed the Yellow River and entered Shuofang County, and as soon as the troops entered Shuofang County, they moved according to the plan.

Xue Yin led 15,000 cavalry to quickly approach the leader's lair, Linhe County; He wanted to quickly take down the Xianbei nobles, and then take Linhe County as the center, expand to the surrounding areas, and gradually clear the Xianbei Yiluo.

Later, Wen Chou, who crossed the river, would begin to clear the Xianbei Fall from the east of Shuofang County.

In order to weaken the resistance of the Xianbei people, Wen Chou followed Gao Shun's order and played the banner that the king of Kuitou wanted to unite the Xiongnu Youxian Wang and the Qiang people to make a rebellion, and this time the army was to arrest the traitors and eliminate the rebels, and would not harm the ordinary people.

Sure enough, under the strong military pressure of the Han army, the resistance of the various towns was not great, of course, it was also related to the fact that their elite cavalry had gone out with the king of Kuitou; They were afraid of being affected by the rebellion of the king of the king, and they were afraid that they would be killed by the Han army because of the resistance, so the Xianbei people in each city obediently laid down their weapons and accepted the custody of the Han people.

Guan Yu divided the Hun cavalry into three parts, one part of 4,000 people, responsible for guarding Linrong City and Fertile City; 3,000 people were stationed in Sanfeng City, and 3,000 people were stationed in Jiming Village.

Due to their submission to the Han Dynasty and their good relationship with the Han Dynasty, the Xianbei people did not have many garrisons in Linrong City, Fertile Field and Sanfeng City.

The Xianbei tribes in the west and the Budugen who had escaped were busy recuperating, and they didn't dare to come back to retaliate, and there were not many garrisons in Xianbei Jimingzhai, and they were also deceived by Guan Yu and easily occupied.

Subsequently, Guan Yu led 10,000 cavalry from the west to the east, and began to clear the Xianbei Yiluo, adopting a method similar to that of Wen Chou and others, which greatly weakened the resistance of the Xianbei people.

Seeing the frightened faces of the Xianbei people, Guan Yu had an indescribable excitement in his heart, this is the so-called conquest, different from the simple killing of the Qiang people, the conquest is more fulfilling, to let the aliens have a heartfelt awe of the Han people, so that they lose the heart of resistance, absolute obedience, and this effect cannot be achieved by killing alone.

With the loss of unified command, and the Han Dynasty made strict deployments, dispatched superior forces, and the operation to recover Shuofang County went very smoothly, and the task was successfully completed by mid-May.

The total population of the tribe of the king of Kuitou is more than 70,000 people, of which there are more than 10,000 slaves such as the Qiang and the Xiongnu, and the rest of the people are either old, weak, sick and disabled, or women and children, young and strong, young and poor.

However, the number of cattle, sheep, horses, camels and other livestock seized was quite large, which made everyone very happy.

According to the previous treatment method, the old, weak, sick and disabled and other people with low labor capacity were secretly executed and replaced with synthetic quotas, and there were more than 15,000 of these people.

Those freed slaves, who seek personal advice and are willing to be loyal to the Han, can join the army and enjoy the same treatment as the Han people, and those who are eliminated, as well as those who are not loyal to the Han, are all slaves, together with those Xianbei people who still have the ability to work, are scattered and resettled in various places, forced to bear heavy manual labor, they are mainly responsible for the infrastructure construction or land planting, grazing and other work in various places, but the Han ensures that they are fed, which is much better than being a slave of the Xianbei people.

Those maidens and girls were selected and prepared to marry Han officers and soldiers as wives and concubines or maids; Teenagers are sent to the training camp for dead soldiers, and middle-aged women who are not wanted are treated as servants of the army.

As for the 10,000 Xianbei cavalry captured by the Northland County, they will be permanently treated as slaves to prevent them from rebelling after learning of the extermination.

At this point, the tribe of the head of the Xianbei King disappeared, and the title of the Xianbei King became history.

The officers and soldiers participating in the war were either given a daughter-in-law, or cattle and sheep and other livestock, or converted into copper coins or grain, and the seriously wounded would be resettled on the spot after the wounded, and wealth such as money, grain, land, livestock, and daughters-in-law would be distributed according to their ranks, and even slaves.

The good aftermath system enabled the officers and men under Gao Shun to obey commands, obey orders, and not be afraid of death when fighting, and their combat effectiveness was superb.

Gao Shun was not in a hurry to dispatch the Taishou of Shuofang County, and Wen Chou temporarily presided over the work; Gao Shun is waiting for the system to be upgraded, if the system is upgraded, there will definitely be senior civilian officials and senior generals, and then he will make major adjustments to the existing military and political model to adapt to the pattern of the Central Plains for hegemony.
