On the twenty-second day of the first month of the first year of the first peace, Meiji was already shrouded in a severe cold, and when it was about to enter the New Year, Helan Dangfu, who was far away in the Modong grassland, sent a big gift to Liu Yuan.

In the past year, as Liu Yuan strengthened his forces in the north, the pressure on Helan Dangfu on Modong's side was much less. Suppressing the locality, suppressing the riots, and cooperating with Liu Yuan's integration of the grassland seems to be at ease.

On the one hand, he consolidated the northern grassland of Youzhou, and on the other hand, he dealt with the once dishonest Wuhuan people, as well as the aggressive Gongsun Zhan. In the past year, Youzhou has been unstable, compared to the treacherous waves of the Central Plains, this side is also turbulent. 、

The contradictions between Liu Yu and Gongsun Chan have accumulated deep enough, and for foreign races, Liu Yu is the main caretaker, Gongsun Chan is the main suppression, and the dispute of ideas is intensifying, just waiting for the moment of outbreak. Even though Liu Yu continued to send people to mediate and suppress, Gongsun Zhan still went his own way, attacking Wuhuan in the east and the Xiongnu in the north.

Especially after obtaining stirrups and shoes, the strength of the iron cavalry under his command has increased by a whole level, and it is already elite. Crisscrossing the border of Youzhou, almost invincible. It forced the Wuhuan people's power in Youzhou to move back significantly, but they still did not give up, and plundered Wuhuan many times and obtained a large number of war horses.

The spirit is high, and even went north to attack Xia, and was led by Helan Dangfu to meet the troops and horses of the Modong Governor's Mansion, and the two sides fought several battles in the east of the water, and each lost a lot of troops, and Gongsun Chan retreated. Even so, Gongsun Chan slaughtered many tribes and plundered many horses.

Up to now, Gongsun Zhan has tens of thousands of iron horsemen under his command, and Baimayi was born from this strong army in the late Han Dynasty, with a full 5,000 soldiers, one person and two horses.

On Wu Huan's side, with Qiu Liju's old age and Gongsun Zhan's continuous invasion, he felt more and more powerless, and gradually let go of power. Compared with Qiu Liju, Badun has more vision and stronger wrists, uniting the Wuhuan tribes and governing them obediently.

Knowing the strength of the Xiongnu and Gongsun Zhan, he took the initiative to avoid their edge, shrink his forces, and turned to the east to attack the counties of Liaodong and the Goguryeo people, and gained a lot. When Badun tasted the sweetness and tried in vain to continue to increase the plunder and make up for the losses caused by Gongsun Zhan to Wuhuan before, Liaodong in the east changed.

There was a ruthless man in Liaodong, Dong Zhuo's newly appointed Taishou Gongsun Du, just by virtue of his surname, Bang Dun once thought that he was the same clan as Gongsun Zhan. Gongsun Du was appointed as Liaodong Taishou for several months in this life, but his wrist was as tough, and he only took office for more than a month, and he exterminated more than 100 powerful families in the county, and the entire Liaodong was shocked.

Liaodong and other border counties, there are not many families with profound backgrounds, and under Gongsun Du's tough measures, the entire Liaodong County is controlled by it, and several waves of backlash are easily suppressed by it. And the influence continues to spread to several surrounding counties, such as Liaodong vassal states and Xuansu County, which are deeply infested by Wuhuan, have signs of moving closer to it.

And Gongsun Du armed a large army with the help of the assets obtained from the destruction of Haoqiang, and the soldiers of Liaodong County, resisted Wuhuan in the north and plundered Goguryeo in the east, and his power gradually grew.

Speaking of Goguryeo, it is the most miserable country in the northeast region of China, bullied by Helan Dangfu, attacked by the raiders, and plundered by Gongsun Du. Almost all over the three forces, in a short period of time, the land was lost, the population was sharply reduced, and the results of decades of development were turned into nourishment for others. The power has shrunk to the far east.

Thirty miles away from Beiguo in Meiji, in a slightly dirty camp, the snow has covered the whole world, and a team of Xia Guoshi soldiers around the camp are stubborn and patrolling closely. Thousands of people gathered in the center of the village, estimated to be four or five thousand, all in rags, shivering in the cold winter, and their hands were bound with ropes.

On the top of the walled tower, Liu Yuan pointed to the village and asked Su Li beside him: "Su Li, these thousands of people are Helan Dangfu's gift to Gu?" Who are they? ”

"King Yu, these people are all savages, which were found in the mountains and forests of the upper reaches of Raole Water when the Governor of Helan sent our army to plunder Wuhuan and Fuyu returned. Its people drink blood and run to survive in the mountains and forests. Its survival is difficult, but the survivors are many fierce, and the governor of Helan thinks that this is the labor of the king. Therefore, the army captured these thousands of people for several months and presented them to the king! ”

Hearing this, Liu Yuan's eyes lit up, and he carefully looked at the savage slaves below for a while. The hair is vigorous, the eyes are fierce, and a "primitive" atmosphere is blowing in the face. In my mind, an immature idea took root.

Looking at Su Li, this hero, who originally rose in Xianbei in the east, has now become the loyal eagle dog of Liu Yuanxia. Helan came to the newspaper before Dangfu, and sometimes mentioned that he was brave in battle, had a lot of meritorious service, and was a talent.

"Helan has a heart! Lone is very satisfied with his gift! Liu Yuan smiled and said to Su Li: "You have been escorted all the way, and you have worked hard, so you can rest." Well, let's stay in Meiji for the time being, and take care of these slaves for the time being! ”

"No! Thank you, King! Su Li immediately smiled, this time he took the initiative to ask for the order to escort the slaves here, and he had the intention of seeking to stay. Now that it seems to have been favored by Liu Yuan, he is even more pleased, in this way, it is a big step ahead of the two competitors who are still in Modong, Micah and Jiji.

Got in the car and drove back to the palace, and when he arrived at the palace, Liu Yuan had already decided in his heart how to use the thousands of savages. The Xia Kingdom now lacks population, and these savages can be used as supplements, and at the same time, they have opened up another way of thinking for Liu Yuan, and they have to order Wuyue and Helan Dangfu to continue to excavate to the east, north, and west. As Helan Dangfu said, this is really God's labor that God has left on him.

Originally, I wanted to use it for mining, but I felt that it was a pity that such a fierce and wild slave should be used on the battlefield. In the coming year, Taiyuan will be dispatched, and it is inevitable that there will be a siege war, and the Xia State is mainly cavalry, and Liu Yuan is reluctant to let his elite knights consume under the siege of the Han City.

Meiji's infantry army has not been formed for a long time, and these savages can be used as cannon fodder, charging the city warriors, even if they are used to consume the strength of the defenders of the city battle, as a one-time consumable, it can also reduce the damage of his Xia Guorui pawns.

The Qian tribe is the most special branch among the clans under Liu Yuan's rule, they are fierce and cruel, or the "fierce name" in the previous life is too prosperous, Liu Yuan has always been jealous and has been strictly controlled. In recent years, although he has been naturalized in the Xia Kingdom, he is still more wild than the ordinary Hu people. With the passage of time, the "Qiang tribe" has been diluted by Liu Yuan's methods, but the men and men from his subordinates have been filled into the army by Liu Yuan.

In the former army there was an army of 2,000 men formed purely by the Karma. With Liu Yuan's order, he was stripped out and formed a new army with more than 4,000 savages, called the begging army. As the name suggests, an army that fights to survive.

According to Liu Yuan's idea, in the future, there will be the most arduous, bloodiest, and most expensive combat missions, and the one at the forefront must be the beggar army!
