The Western Han Dynasty Shuofang Thorn History Department was called the Ordos Basin in later geology, or the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Basin.

Ordos is a Mongolian language that means "palace tribe group" and "place with fertile water and grass".

Ordos included the entire territory of the present-day Yikezhao League, as well as the Hetao of the Bayannur League and parts of Ningxia and northern Shaanxi.

It is surrounded by water on three sides in the west, north and east, and is connected to the Great Wall in the south, forming a huge sleeve, so it is also called the Hetao.

In 221 B.C., Qin Shi Huang unified the whole country and set up counties and counties in the area of present-day Ordos: the area of Etuoke Banner and Etuoke Qianqi belonged to Beidi County; The eastern part of the Jungar Banner and the Yijin Horo Banner belongs to Yunzhong County; The northern part of Dalat Banner and Jungger Banner belongs to Jiuyuan County; The southern part of Wushen Banner, Etuoke Qianqi and Yijin Horo Banner belongs to Beidi County, and the four counties have a total of 34 counties.

At that time, the Ordos region had two historical titles, namely "New Qinzhong" and "Henan Land".

Wei Shuo rushed to recover Shuofang, not only for this rich land, but also for the hundreds of thousands of local Xianbei and Qianghu people.

"Lord, everything is ready, when will you attack?"

Cui Hao hit his horse and asked Wei Shuo for instructions, and the 25,000 soldiers behind him were already lined up and ready to go.

"Okay, let's go!" With Wei Shuo's order, tens of thousands of Hexi soldiers began to sweep the entire Shuofang from the southwest to the northeast.

The Hu tribes encountered along the way, the army did not ask the reason, and those who did not want to surrender directly killed the generals, slaughtered the noble elders, leaders, and leaders of the tribe, leaving only ordinary herdsmen and rescued Han slaves.

As expected, during the march of the Hexi army, it also encountered several Northern Wei scouts, all of whom were killed one by one.

The appearance of the Northern Wei people made the generals in Hexi nervous, and the only fortunate thing was that the main force of the Northern Wei Dynasty was still staying in Dailai City.

For the killing of the Hexi Army, Liu Bobo not only did not stop it, but faintly felt a little happy, only Qi Ganali smelled some different meanings from it.

However, in the name of rebellion, he could not object.

Not to mention Liu Bobo, who is immersed in pain, urgently needs blood to vent the hatred in his heart.

"My lord, in front is the Qianghu tribe, with a total of 5,300 households and 3,000 cavalry, which is the larger tribe in Shuofang."

"No matter what tribe it is, you must do things according to our rules, and those who don't obey will only be dead."

"Pass my command: cover up all the way to the past!"

"According to the previous regulations: except for cattle, sheep and horses, Han slaves, women, and young people, the rest of the nobles and leaders will not be left!"

"Nancheng, you lead 3,000 people to attack from the left, Zhongde, you rush over from the right, and the rest of the people are not allowed to move."

"Remember, move fast and don't let the enemy react!"

"No!" Frustrated Nancheng and Wang Zhongde hugged their fists at Wei Shuo, beat their horses and turned to leave.

……

To be honest, the changes in Shuofang have almost no impact on an ordinary Qianghu tribe.

The herdsmen women, who had toiled all day, were busy preparing dinner, and the young men of the tribe, busy gathering their livestock, were anxious to get into the tent to drink and have fun, and who would have thought that they would be attacked.

Unguarded, he encountered a wolf-like tiger Hexi Iron Horse, and the result can be imagined.

When Wang Zhongde rushed into the Qianghu camp, he happened to meet a herdsman who was gathering cattle and sheep.

The herdsman suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and wanted to look up in surprise, but just in time to see the Hexi Iron Cavalry approaching by surprise, he was stunned and did not react.

It wasn't until he was struck in the neck by Wang Zhongde's saber that the herdsmen let out a terrible scream, which alarmed countless Qianghu people.

They rushed out of the tent one after another to check what was happening, but they were greeted by a bright saber.

Every time the Hexi cavalry waved its saber, it would take a head and rise into the sky, and in an instant, countless Qianghu people fell under the iron hooves of the Hexi army.

Thousands of Hexi iron horsemen rushed back and forth in the Qianghu tribe to kill, as long as they saw those who dared to resist, regardless of men, women and children, they would step forward with a knife.

Soon a raging fire broke out in the Qianghu camp, and in the midst of the flames, all kinds of screams came and went.

Wei Shuo, who was riding his horse, looked at the killing in front of him with an expressionless face, and listened to the screams like night owls indifferently.

Cui Hao and Fuqu Mengxun were by his side, and they quietly glanced at Wei Shuo from time to time, but saw that his face was as silent as water in the whirring night wind, and his eyes narrowed slightly, so that outsiders could not see his inner thoughts clearly.

This trip to Shuo Fang subverted the two people's previous impression of Wei Shuo, and the enlightened and benevolent monarch disappeared, replaced by cold, ruthless, and bloodthirsty.

But this not only did not reduce Wei Shuo's status in their minds, but they felt more and more that this was the real hero of the troubled times.

He is tolerant and benevolent to the people under his rule, and he is scheming and cold-blooded enough to treat the enemy.

Only in this way can he be expected to end the troubled times and lead everyone to establish the great achievements of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty.

The screams of the Qianghu tribe grew quieter and lower, and the flames began to slowly extinguish.

After a while, I saw Wang Zhongde and Li Wei come to Wei Shuo to report.

"Dadu Hu, in this battle, more than 3,000 Qianghu people were eliminated, 20,000 prisoners were captured, 100 Han people were rescued, and a large number of cattle and sheep and thousands of war horses were captured."

Wei Shuo saw that there was an extra war horse beside each cavalryman, followed by a large number of captured Qianghu people, and then looked up at the black smoke rising in the distance, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, well done two generals, keep going."

"No!"

Under the cover of night, tens of thousands of Hexi troops divided into two groups, the front and rear, converged into an iron stream and rolled eastward, and soon disappeared into the night.

In the following days, tens of thousands of Hexi troops galloped all the way to the northeast, sweeping away countless tribes on the way.

Except for a few tribal leaders who deliberately let go in the end, the rest were all killed by the Hexi army one by one.

When he was about to arrive in Ordos City, he estimated that Tuoba Jue should have learned the news of the eastward advance of the Hexi Army, so Wei Shuo ordered everyone to stop, and set up camp, waiting for Tuoba people to come to the door.

In the camp, Wei Shuo, Cui Hao, and Fuqu Mengxun sat together, drinking wine and nibbling roast sheep, enjoying the beautiful scenery on the surrounding grassland.

"Once the war is over, the Metropolitan Protectorate must complete the establishment of a county here as soon as possible, turning it into a pasture and granary in Hexi."

"The lord is reasonable, and for the agricultural development of the Hetao, Hexi does not need to cross the river by feeling the stones, because the two empires of the Qin and Han dynasties have already done a good demonstration before."

"After the development of the Hetao area, it was even used to rival the Guanzhong Plain, and was known as the New Qinzhong in history."

"If it weren't for the internal strife in the Qin Empire, all the people of Shibian would have returned to the interior, and the Hetao area would not have become a nomadic land again at this time."

"Well, Bo Yuan's words have won my heart, and Shuo intends to appoint Mr. Shuo as the assassin of Shuozhou after the war to manage this newly acquired land."

"Do everything according to the Lord's command."

"However, while I have leisure at the moment, Shuo still has to ask Bo Yuan a few words."

"In the future, we must not patronize the farmland, but also pay attention to the protection of the grassland."

"Don't damage the local environment, otherwise once the land is desertified, agriculture will not be able to continue."

"I wonder what the lord suggests?"

"Mobilize herders to plant trees and grasses, especially pastures."

"Planting grass?"

Frustrated Meng Xun looked at Wei Shuo with a strange look, in his impression, grass grows naturally, where can it be planted.

Not to mention the frustration of Meng Xun, Cui Hao was also puzzled, and he couldn't understand the purpose of his father-in-law's move.

"The purpose of planting grass is to change the herdsmen's habit of living in pursuit of water and grass, and turn it into a livestock settlement, so as to facilitate the establishment of county management."

Hearing this, Cui Hao was thoughtful, and the depressed Meng Xun body next to him trembled involuntarily, and he hurriedly got up and poured wine for Wei Shuo and the others, so as to hide the fear in his heart.

To tell the truth, when he first took refuge in Wei Shuo, he did have other thoughts, hoping to replace him like Murong Chui one day.

But the more he learned about Wei Shuo, the more he realized that what he was planning was just a dream.

Hexi is not the former Qin, and Wei Shuo is not Fu Jian, he has established many policies for Hexi, and these policies have strangled all kinds of hidden dangers in the cradle, and there is no room for conspiracy at all.

He was even worried that when he returned to the tribe in a few years, it was estimated that the people in the tribe would no longer remember him as the former leader.

"The lord deliberately let go of some leaders and leaders before, did he deliberately provoke Tuobaju?"

"Hahaha, Bo Yuan is smart, Shuo's little trick can't hide it from you!"

"However, I'm afraid Tuoba Jue is not so easy to be fooled, and in the end, he has to rely on real knives and real guns to decide the ownership of Shuo Fang."
