A Xianbei is the largest force in the northern grassland after the Xiongnu, Xianbei is almost unified during the period of Tanshi Huai, but with the death of Tanshi Huai, Xianbei has also entered the period of competition for hegemony, and the huge Xianbei is divided into five forces, representing the orthodox Jian Man occupies the royal court of Danhan Mountain, Suli is in the east, Putou is in the west, and Kebi can and Budu root are in the middle.

This time the Xianbei people went south, the Han Mountain Royal Court was broken by the Han army, Kebineng and Budugen were also killed by the Han army, although Su Li was still active in Youzhou at this time, but the nest had been attacked by the Karasuma people, even if he could drive away the Karasuma people when he went back, he would definitely be greatly injured and could not move lightly.

From the current point of view, the war in Bingzhou is basically over, and there is only some finishing work left, the Huns have to be dispersed and resettled, and Bingzhou also needs to relocate people from other places to resume production. The newly appointed county officials are beginning their preparations, and the army has officially entered the stage of rest.

Zhang Liao's wandering and Xu Huang's relief of troubles have made great achievements this time, but they have also lost troops and suffered heavy losses. The loss of manpower is good to replenish, and the elite can be selected from the soldiers of each county, but the value of the veterans of a hundred battles is far from being comparable to that of new soldiers.

The war in Bingzhou has ended, the vitality of the Xianbei people has been greatly damaged, the Huns have also bowed their heads, and the Yuan clan of Hebei is busy expelling the Suli Department from the country, and there is no time to ask Liu Xie for the return of the state. Even if he asks for it, Liu Xie will not give it. Liu Xie ordered Zhang Liao to lead his troops to garrison Yanmen County to prevent the northern grassland tribes from going south to destroy the people's livelihood in Bingzhou, and as for Huguan, Liu Xie arranged for Xu Huang to fight with Zhang Jaw.

After the end of the war, a hundred ruins are waiting to be rebuilt, and the state has gone through hardships this time, after the slaughter of the Hu people, the Han people with a population of hundreds of thousands have been counted after the war, and there is no one in ten, in order to restore the livelihood of the state, the relocation and annexation of the state has become a top priority. As for the Huns, whose population still has hundreds of thousands, Liu Xie does not intend to let them continue to stay in Bingzhou. The mistakes of the predecessors need to be corrected in their own hands, and the mistakes of the past Han emperors were that they should not let the Huns continue to have the opportunity to hold together when they lived in the Han Dynasty, and what Liu Xie wanted to do was to distribute the hundreds of thousands of captured Huns to all parts of the country.

There are a total of thirteen states in the Han Dynasty, and the states currently controlled by the imperial court are Yong, Liang, Si, He, Yi, Yan, and Yu, plus half of Jingzhou. Except for the annexation of the state, the rest of the states would accept a part of the Xiongnu, and then disperse the Xiongnu into villages and counties on a per household basis. There will be someone to teach these Huns about farming, and as for the old business of the Huns herding horses, Liu Xie does not plan to give these Huns a chance.

Hu Chuquan and Qubei, the two powerful people among the Huns, were lucky, with Liu Bao's negative teaching material, so that Liu Xie did not kill the two of them, and sealed an idle job that only took Yulu and did not need to do things, Liu Xie sent the two to Chang'an for the elderly. As for Liu Bao's negative example, his body was found in the wild a few months after the end of the Bingzhou war. I don't know how he died, but people are so dead that they can't die anymore.

The matter of the state is over, and Liu Xie can't interfere in Suli's affairs, and the only thing that is worthy of Liu Xie's attention is left, that is, what is happening to Putou, who fled back to the tribe. According to Liu Xie's estimate, life should be quite difficult. Originally, Zhao Yun and Sima Yi led the Han'an army into the Xianbei grassland in the west was enough to make Putou tired to deal with, and now with the addition of Ma Chao of the Fubo army, it is estimated that Putou has the heart to hang himself.

Liu Xie does not sympathize with Putou, the poor man must have something to hate, now it seems that Putou made the Han people kill again and again, but when the Han people were slaughtered in the state, Putou was very positive, which is completely different from the current face.

……

Pu Tou, who was being nagged by Liu Xie, seemed to have a sense in his heart, and suddenly sneezed a few times, startling a few people around him who were not in good spirits. Putou's speed was quite fast, and after separating from Budugen, he traveled day and night, and finally came back before the Han An army hit his lair.

But what Putou didn't expect was that the commander of the Han An Army was a madman, knowing that he had rushed back with a large group of men, but he still led his troops to attack him.

A lot of people doesn't necessarily mean you win! In the confrontation with the Han An army, Putou was taught a lesson by Zhao Yun, and the white horse silver spear became a lingering nightmare for Putou in the following days, every time he closed his eyes, Putou seemed to be able to see a white horse under the crotch, and the fierce general of the silver spear in his hand rushed towards him. The warriors around him rushed up one by one, and one by one they were picked off the horse, and every time they woke up, Putou was sweating profusely, and he was afraid.

Unable to resist the breakthrough of Zhao Yun, the commander of the Han'an army, no matter how tenacious Putou organized people to resist, the final result was a rout. The heavy cavalry in black armor has almost been advertised by the Xianbei people themselves as an army from hell, and their commander is naturally the killing god, the white-clothed killing god.

Under Zhao Yun's courage, Putou led his tribe to retreat again and again, and was forced to Hexi. When they arrived in Hexi, Putou wanted to contact Kebineng and others, and everyone gathered together to take care of each other. Unexpectedly, it was bad news, Kebi was defeated and killed, Bu Dugen was captured alive and then the head was shown to the public, the only surviving Suli was far away in Zhuo County at this time, whether he could come is still unknown, even if he can come to Hexi, it is estimated that when he arrives, the daylily will be cold.

It's not that Putou didn't want to make peace with the Han emperor, and the Saiwaihu people seem to have this understanding, as long as they accept the soft confession, as if the Han people will forgive them, no matter how big a mistake they have made. But when Ma Chao came to the door with the Fubo army, Putou knew that the road of seeking peace was impossible.

In order to avoid being attacked by the Han'an army and the Fubo army, Putou fled north with his tribe in a panic, but the Xianbei people were like frightened birds at this time, and they panicked at the slightest disturbance. In the face of the pursuit of the Han army, the Xianbei people did not dare to fight, but only knew all the way to the north, subconsciously thinking that the farther away from the Han people at this time, the better.

are gritting their teeth and insisting, the Han army is insisting on drawing a successful end to this war against the Xianbei people, while the Xianbei people are insisting on seeking a way to live, for themselves and for the ethnic group to find a way to continue to multiply.

Countless Xianbei people who couldn't walk or were disabled and couldn't keep up with the team were abandoned, and on the way from Hexi to Shuofang, Xianbei people who died on the side of the road could be seen everywhere. But the Han people, who usually look weak and deceitful, are hard-hearted at this time, regardless of their own casualties, just to strive for the final victory.

When Putou fled to Shuofang with the Xianbei people, he was already exhausted, but hope was in front of him, as long as he entered the Mobei grassland through Shuofang, the Han army would probably give up the pursuit. But when Putou led people through Shuofang and was about to enter Mobei, the appearance of a group of people made Putou feel desperate.

The Qianren, who belonged to the Huns, were originally the domestic slaves of the Huns. After the Han army captured Chuquan and went to Bei, those people also took the opportunity to rise up and get rid of the control of the Huns. The freed people did not dare to provoke the Han army, and did not want to accept the rule of the Han people, so they took advantage of the opportunity of the Han army's lack of time to take care of them and fled to Mobei, where they established their own tribes on the grasslands north of the Great Wall and multiplied.

After the Xianbei people were hit hard by the Han army, they were unable to cope with the expansion of the Xianbei people, and many of those Xianbei people who had just been under the country were taken captive and became slaves by the Xianbei people.

Putou has been fleeing for his life these days, and he is not clear about what is happening outside, and it is impossible for the Han army to kindly remind him that the grassland has now changed owners, and you Xianbei people are already declining.

In the eyes of the people, the tribe of Putou is a piece of fat, and if you don't take a bite, you will definitely regret it afterwards. So on the way that Putou fled from Hexi to Shuofang, the Qian people were also not idle, united all the tribes that could be contacted, concentrated all the combat forces that could be used, and waited specifically on the way to enter Mobei, waiting for Putou to throw himself into the net.

Seeing that the former house slaves are now showing off their might in front of themselves, Putou and his subordinates Xianbei people can't help but be so angry that the three corpses jump, even if the Han people bully, you can dare to show your teeth and claws in front of Lao Tzu as a slave?

The Xianbei people broke out with a strong combat effectiveness, and the Xianbei people paid a heavy price for it, but the Xianbei people were brave for a while, and it was difficult to last, after killing and injuring a large number of the Xianbei people, the Xianbei people's front collapsed first, allowing the Xianbei people to take advantage of the situation to defeat them. fled all the way north from Hexi, went through a lot of hardships, but I didn't expect to be a prisoner of the Qiang people in the end. Most of the Xianbei people who were originally in the rear turned their heads and ran, even if they were slaves of the Han people, they would not be the slaves of a slave of yours.

Hu people are good at riding, although most of the people in the rear are the families of the Xianbei people, but the riding skills are still good, they immediately ran away when they saw that the situation was not good, and the people who were about to catch the special catch couldn't help but be anxious, and they had the heart to chase but were stopped by the Xianbei people in front of them, and they could only watch the women and children of the Xianbei people flee.

The unwilling Qianren rode their horses to chase, and when they chased after him, they bumped into the Han army, which was also chasing the Xianbei people. The man who had just won a victory was already red-eyed at this time, and he didn't notice that his opponent had been replaced, and when he saw someone blocking the way, he immediately rushed over without fear of death.

"Kill them." Seeing this, Ma Chao commanded.

The archers of the Han army, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately launched a three-stage shot at the rushing cavalry, and more than 100 of the Qianren who rushed to the forefront were shot into hedgehogs and fell on the way to charge. And death finally calmed down the hot-headed Qianren, and when they found that the opponent they were facing had become Han, they were at a loss for what to do, and then they shouted and turned around and ran.

"You don't have to catch up." Ma Chao gave another order, and asked people to bring over the leader of the Xianbei people who had been captured by the army before. Looking at the Xianbei people who were speechless and a little evasive in their eyes, Ma Chao didn't recognize who the other party was at first, but with the identification of the Xianbei people who were also captured, Ma Chao was happy.

It turned out to be a pamperton! Poor Zhao Yun wanted to catch this guy during this time, but he didn't expect that he would pick up this bargain in the end.

"Oops~ This is really luck, I can't stop it." Ma Chao happily said to the Fa Zhengdao who got the news and came to confirm.

"Meng Qi, congratulations, with your merit in capturing the enemy chief for the second time, the first credit in this battle of annexing states must be you." Fa Zheng congratulated Ma Chao with a smile. Unexpectedly, Ma Chao didn't nod when he heard this, but shook his head and said, "Xiaozhi, how can the first credit be me?" It should be Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, two generals. ”

"Oops~ Meng Qi, why did you suddenly become humble?" Fa Zheng seemed to know Ma Chao for the first time, and asked in surprise.

"What's the matter, I've always been very modest, but I'm usually low-key, you don't see it." Ma Chao glared at Fa Zheng unhappily when he heard this.

"Really? I don't know who was the one who almost got into a fight in front of the lord a few days ago? ”

"Of course, when it's time to fight, you have to fight. Xiaozhi, do you want to give this putou to Zilong? He worked hard for many days to catch this guy, and we caught his target like this, which seems a little unkind. Ma Chao changed the topic and asked the right way.

“…… Forget it, Zilong is not the kind of stingy person, if you are worried that it will cause Zilong's dissatisfaction, you don't have to. Zilong is not that kind of person, although he will feel some regrets, but he will definitely not have any opinions about you because of this. On the other hand, if you give him this pomp head, it is easy for him to misunderstand what you mean. Fa Zheng thought about it and persuaded Ma Chaodao.

"Well, you won't hurt me anyway, so do as you want. Someone came, sent someone to contact the Han'an army, and said that the Fubo army was waiting to join them in Shuofang. Ma Chao nodded and instructed his subordinates.

After getting the news sent by Ma Chao, Zhao Yun did feel a little regretful, but Sima Yi was a little dissatisfied, he chased hard for so long, but he didn't expect to ask Ma Chao to pick up the cheap in the end.

"Zhongda, why bother about this matter, if it is undecided today, there are merits waiting for us to take, what is a small Xianbei leader." Zhao Yun persuaded Sima Yi.

"Zilong, don't you think God is unfair?" Sima Yi asked.

"I'm just a little sorry that after many days of hard work, this is the result. But since Putou has been captured, then the goal of our army has been achieved, and there is nothing to worry about. ”

“…… You have a good heart. ”

"Huh...... Zhongda, don't fight too much, our hard-working lord knows that if he is too persistent, it is easy to ignore the things he should pay attention to. ”

“…… Thank you Zilong for the reminder. Sima Yi thought about it and understood what Zhao Yun meant. In fact, the capture of Putou is just the icing on the cake, and the defeat of Western Xianbei is the most important thing, through this battle, Sima Yi and Zhao Yun proved to outsiders the strength of the newly built Han'an Army, which is still one of the trump cards.

"Zilong, how did you say the main guild would arrange for you and me?" The big thing is over, and the heart that has been hanging is put down, and Sima Yi also has the leisure to chat with Zhao Yun about gossip.

"I don't know, but according to my estimate, this Han'an army will still be under the command of you and me. After all, Jingnan is undecided, and Nanban has not completely returned to his heart, and there must be a powerful force there to maintain deterrence. Zhang Wenyuan's Youyi army has to guard against Huguan's jaw, Xu Gongming's relief has to guard against the northern Hu people, Zhang Gongyi's stepping on Bai has to guard against Jiangdong, Lu Fengxian's begging work has to stay in the Western Regions, and there are only two places where the imperial court needs to arrange heavy troops, one is Yanzhou and the other is Yizhou, and the person responsible for guarding Yizhou is either us or Ma Mengqi. Zhao Yun thought about it and analyzed Sima Yi.

"Then you say that the Lord Guild will not build another army? There should be this possibility, it is not impossible to be a candidate to serve as a general in the first army, Dian Wei and Pang De are all suitable candidates. Sima Yi said again.

"Lao Dian and Ling Ming's abilities are enough, but I don't think there will be a new army in the short term." Zhao Yun shook his head and said.

"Why?"

"Zhongda, don't you want to think about it, our living Xiao He Xun Situ, will his old man agree to the lord's proposal to build another army?"

"Uh...... It seems unlikely. ”

Xun Yu is the great housekeeper of the Han Dynasty, in charge of the money bags of the imperial court, and Liu Xie wants to build an army, but he can't get around Xun Yu. The Han Dynasty now has six main forces, Han'an, Xie Fu, Youyi, Fubo, Tabai, and Begging, plus the two naval armies established by Liu Xie in Jiangling and Jiangxia in Jingzhou not long ago, and if a new army is built, Xun Yu is likely to pick a son and not do it in protest.

"Then where did you say the Lord Guild arranged for us to be stationed?"

"I don't know this, the lord will let us go wherever we want."

It's just a small talk, naturally he will say whatever comes to mind in his heart, and Sima Yi doesn't really want to figure out how Liu Xie will arrange him, anyway, he knows that Liu Xie will not treat him badly. As for whether to go to the Central Plains or Bashu, Sima Yi prefers to arrange for himself to go to Bashu, because there are his old opponents there, and he couldn't let go of the competition in the academy before, but now he is his master, so there is no need to keep his hands.

"Zilong, I'm sorry, I robbed you of your credit." Ma Chao apologized with a smile after seeing Zhao Yun.

"Meng Qi, where are you talking, your own brother, what are you polite?" Zhao Yun also replied with a smile.

After chasing for so many days, Zhao Yun naturally wanted to take a look at Pu Tou, and seeing Pu Tou's embarrassed appearance, Zhao Yun smiled slightly, but before he could speak, Pu Tou was the first to say: "General Zhao, it's a pity that I wasn't caught by you in the end." ”

"It doesn't matter, anyway, you still fell into the hands of the Han army, and your fate will not change because you are not caught by me." Zhao Yun said indifferently.

“…… What will happen to me? Putou hesitated and asked.

"There is a lesson from the past, so why do you need to ask me. It's lonely on the Huangquan Road, and Kebineng and Budugen are waiting for you. Zhao Yun reminded Ma Chao when he said this: "Meng Qi, it is a good thing to send someone to keep an eye on Putou, and it is a good thing to be captured, but if he dies before the lord can see it, wouldn't it be a pity?" ”

"Thank you Zilong for the reminder. Come, wait for him, don't let him die until the lord orders his head to be cut off. Ma Chao nodded with a smile and commanded left and right.

“…… A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated. Pu Tou held back a sentence for a long time.

"Hmph, a Hu man, also worthy of being called a scholar?" Ma Chao snorted coldly and said disdainfully.
