The soldiers and horses led by Zhao Yunqin first went north along the Liaoxi Plain, along the edge of the mountains and forests in the west of the Liaoxi Plain, and first advanced more than ten miles northward, and then found a mountain pass to enter the mountain.

The New Han Army will naturally not enter the mountains randomly, and every military horse that enters the mountains will have many guides, guides, maps, and compasses, so if you go deep into the mountains and forests, under normal circumstances, you will not get lost.

Along the way, I naturally came across some settlements where Han Chinese and people of different races lived together. Some of these settlements are fixed, while others are temporary. What is fixed is that the aliens who have been sinicized live together with the Han people, living a life of male farmers and female weavers, and their residences are no longer yurts, but some thatched houses.

And these fixed settlements often become a major trading place within a radius of tens or tens of miles. On some fixed days, many people from all over the world will come to the market to exchange and trade their daily necessities.

However, this is not to say that all Han Chinese or aliens living in such fixed settlements are good people. Some of them may be spies arranged here by a foreign tribe, and the main thing is to provide some accurate information to their tribe. For example, people who trade in these settlements, tribes, can communicate with each other, can learn some information about the pass, and then, if necessary, they will emerge from the mountains and break into the pass to loot.

Some Han Chinese will also be sold to provide information to those of other races.

And more. They live here and seem to be good citizens. However, occasionally. They will also do some roadblock robberies, mostly against some passing vendors. In general, people who can live in these places safely for a long time in settlements like this are not simple guys.

Outside the Guan, because of the weakness of the Han Dynasty, the Han army guarding the Great Wall could not form a strong deterrent to the aliens, and it was impossible for military horses to go outside the Guanxi to protect those Han or aliens who lived normally. So. Those who survive outside the zài pass for a long time, but will not be looted by aliens, are some people with backgrounds. Of course, there will also be some settlements, and the Han Chinese and the Yiren have joined forces to form some spontaneous teams, mainly to protect their settlements from being ransacked by the alien bandits in the mountains. If one of these people has the ability or can be protected for a while. But it will never last long, because once the aliens gather more men and horses to plunder them, they will have to take a break. Actually, outside the customs. Fixed settlements like this are often looted by aliens and even taken into these settlements. All of them were killed, and some were taken away as slaves.

And what about temporary settlements? It's just some of the hard-to-stabilize dìng to survive. But they are no longer the same as before, relying on the grassland to graze cattle to make a living. They turned to hunting in the forest for a living, and within a certain period of time, they would appear in a certain mountainous area, hunt for a period of time, hunt a certain amount of prey, and then they would go out of the mountains and temporarily settle in a place not too far from the Great Wall, and exchange their prey with the traders who entered and exited the customs for the daily necessities they needed. After a while, they would leave again and go hunting in the mountains. Often, these are clusters of families or several families.

Relatively speaking, the people in such temporary settlements are a little more pure, relatively pure, after all, people take a family to hunt in the mountains, and when they go out of the mountains, they also drag men and women, and generally do not do evil casually and plunder others. But it's not absolute, occasionally, in order to survive, they will also do some roadblock robberies. In fact, the way of life of such aliens is somewhat similar to that of the later Temujin tribes.

When encountering such settlements, whether they are fixed or temporary, they are all controlled.

Well, whether it was Liu Yi or Zhao Yun, in the end, he still failed to be too hard-hearted. Failed to achieve the point of killing aliens when they encountered them. Therefore, in Liu Yi's order, there will be some prerequisites, that is, among the aliens, there is hostility and hatred towards the New Han Army, and they can be ruthlessly killed. Moreover, only those aliens with bad human nature can completely exterminate them.

Therefore, the aliens in these settlements, especially the aliens who live together with the Han people, Zhao Yun did not do anything to cut them all and kill them all mercilessly. In this way, the only way to control it is to get up first.

For these settlements, a certain amount of the New Han army was generally left to guard until the infantry army and the officials who established the government came to take over.

For example, in a settlement next to a small river. This should be a fixed settlement.

Most of them were members of the Wuhuan tribe, numbering three or four hundred.

As soon as the cavalry of the New Han Army arrived, they immediately controlled them, directly collected their weapons, and killed those who dared to disobey, and then left a team of 100 people to guard them. Soon after, the infantry of the New Han Army arrived, and according to the topography here, a military fortress was built here, leaving an army behind. Here, you can control the area of the nearby area for more than ten miles, and it has the convenience of becoming a formal town market in the future. In this area of more than ten miles, whether it is a foreigner or a Han Chinese, all of them are gathered, they are registered, and they become official subjects of the new Han Dynasty. Then, under the guidance of the government, let them work and live in this area for more than ten miles, for the time being, they cannot leave this area, but anyone who leaves this area will be regarded as spies and will be immediately killed. In essence, this is tantamount to giving them protection. Therefore, most of them are willing to follow the arrangements of the New Han Army.

On this day, Zhao Yun's department, who had gone all the way deep into the forest in the mountains, found another alien tribe hidden in a valley.

The spies reported that there were about 1,200,000 people in this tribe. Among its tribes, there are some strange ones, not like ordinary normal tribes.

Zhao Yun sent a small number of cavalry to test it, this alien tribe, when he saw the cavalry of the New Han Army, there were only dozens of horses. It actually pounced on the attack like a honeycomb.

In this way, Zhao Yun will not be polite to them. directly waved the army to cover the past and wiped out this alien tribe.

In the midst of this alien tribe. There are relatively few old people, children, and women, and many Han people are captured as slaves. Some of them were interrogated, and it was confessed that this tribe was a sub-tribe of Wuhuan, and that they had been in these areas for many years, and that they had lived by plundering in normal times.

Actually, in these mountains and forests. With no traces of farming, how do they make ends meet? But can you make a living by hunting? Obviously unlikely. Therefore, except for the rescued slaves, a few women and children, all such tribes were destroyed.

These aliens, when they plunder the Han people, and even their alien tribes, will not be soft because of the elderly, children, and women. And the old men of their tribe. Their hands were already covered in blood, and even some children, especially those around ten years old, had been exposed to how to kill slaves from an early age. Education against Han Chinese hatred. Well, or not education, but teaching by word and deed. They saw how their adults treated the Han Chinese and the slaves. They will also follow suit, and have developed a ferocious wolf nature since childhood. Such a child. Especially after watching the adults of their tribe being killed by the New Han Army, they must have hated the Han people even more in their hearts. Therefore, even Zhao Yun doesn't want to spend more time influencing these children. There are too many, if you keep them, when they grow up, how will they retaliate against the Han people? Zhao Yun is not afraid of retaliation and can spare them, but what about ordinary Han people? I am afraid that I will suffer their woe. Therefore, for these murderous aliens, it is simply to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

Among the individual alien tribes, there is no one left.

If you want to form a substantial rule over such a vast grassland and forest outside the entire Guanwai, sometimes, if you are not ruthless, you really can't do it.

Of course, many foreign tribes, who have no malice towards the Han people and yearn for Han culture, when the New Han Army killed, they immediately expressed their obedience, and in addition, judging from the situation of their tribes, it is not those alien tribes that are cruel by nature, so that the New Han Army will let them go, but they must also obey the orders of the New Han Dynasty government from now on.

In addition, there are some such alien tribes, they have no hatred for the New Han Army, and when the New Han Army arrived, they did not take fierce confrontational behavior. However, they would rather die than accept it, no matter how they explained it to them, they were unwilling to follow the orders of the New Han Dynasty, and they did not want to obey the arrangements of the New Han Dynasty. In particular, it was explained to them that if they returned to the New Han Dynasty, they could still retain their tribe's qiē and their living habits, as long as they lived under the supervision of the New Han Dynasty government. In fact, this surveillance is not just for a tribe like them, but for all foreign tribes. They register and make a register and live in the designated area of the government, or they report to the government before they go to the grasslands further away to graze. These are all very normal policy measures. But they didn't want to accept it. In this way, there is no way, extinguish it!

The New Han Dynasty, at this moment, is no longer able to let those alien races who are not controlled by the New Han Dynasty exist. In this situation, Liu Yi also thought that this kind of tribe that was unwilling to submit to the New Han Dynasty was itself a very ambitious tribe. Keep them, who knows if they are the ancestors of the later Jin people, Liao people, or Yuan people and Qing people? Therefore, those who were unwilling to submit to the New Han Dynasty and did not obey the orders of the New Han Dynasty were all destroyed.

Don't say anything, they didn't attack the Han people, and they didn't seem to have too obvious hatred and hatred for the Han people. Is it because their tribe has not yet grown, and when their tribe grows, will they still be so good?

In three or two days, the New Han Army made a lot of noise about the aliens outside the pass, and the grass and trees were all soldiers.

The aliens hiding in the mountains and forests, they couldn't hide either, and fled one after another, avoiding the soldiers of the New Han Army.

It has been many years since the Han army left the customs. The actions of the New Han Army really frightened many aliens outside the gate. Of course, there are many who are welcome. This part is the kind of Wuhuan people who yearn for Han culture in their hearts and have basically been sinicized.

At this time, four or five days had passed since Liaodong returned to the New Han Dynasty.

The depths of the savannah. At the foot of Chifeng Mountain, a big golden tent. It is particularly conspicuous in the endless barracks.

This is the royal tent of the Wuhuan king.

He sat on his couch, hugging his left and right. Holding two beautiful women with bare chests and arms, full of interracial style.

In the center of the tent, a whole sheep was roasting, already golden and yellow, exuding a burst of fragrance.

On the grassland at this time, I already feel a little cold, and the wind blowing, the feeling of being so cool that I can make people feel that the cold winter is coming.

In the golden tent, it was naturally not just Bang Dun and those two bewitching women. In the tent, there were many people, most of whom were the leaders of the Wuhuan tribes who came to meet and the generals of their own clans under the tent.

Among them, there was also a young man with gloomy eyes but an extraordinary bearing, this young man, about twenty years old, but he was able to sit at the bottom of the couch closest to the king of Wuhuan, showing that his status was higher than that of all the leaders and generals in the tent except for Badun.

"Enough!" The young man let out a low sigh and looked at him with anger on his face. Said: "King Badun, if you continue like this, then you can only lead your own army and horses back." will not be involved in your actions this time. ”

"Hehe...... "Hey squinted at the young man who seemed to be speaking to him very politely, laughed disapprovingly, and then pushed away the women left and right beside him. Waved them away.

He sat up straight, and reached out to pick up a glass of wine from the table in front of him. He took a sip and said, "Prince Kebineng, what are you anxious about?" Ha ha. Now, this king has gathered nearly two million people, millions of troops, and in addition, hundreds of thousands of troops have been gathered elsewhere. When the time comes, my Wuhuan army will go south in one fell swoop, enter the pass, and destroy the Han, which is just a matter of effort. How many years have passed, back then, I have never forgotten the shame that Liu Yi gave to this king, and I have always wanted to take revenge. However, there has never been an opportunity like this, and it is difficult to order my Wuhuan clan and unify the whole clan like now. Therefore, this time, this king is only allowed to succeed, not to fail! ”

"In that case, why didn't you do it, the king?" Kebi can seem to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Prince Kobinen, you are too young. Have you forgotten our agreement with Lord Liu Bei? Now, there are still a few days left before the day we send our troops, so don't worry, wait a few more days, and this king will send troops immediately. In his eyes, he looked at Ke Bineng with a little disdain.

"Hmph, Lord Liu Bei has agreed with us on a specific day to send troops, but he also said that we can adjust the day of sending troops according to the actual situation. Now, on the Liaodong side, there was a letter two days ago that Gongsun Du of Liaodong had actually taken refuge in the New Han Dynasty. Now, the New Han Dynasty has sent an army of 300,000 to 400,000 from Shanhaiguan to attack the vast area outside the Great Wall. Let them demoralize our army? Kebineng snorted coldly.

"The 300,000 to 400,000 New Han troops came out of the pass just to gain a little advantage and to use the forest outside the Great Wall Pass to stop our army. Hehe, don't worry, we are here, we can have a lot of choices, we don't need to pass through the mountains and forests of Guò at all, our army can attack from Daijun, or even from the area of Yamen Pass. Also, from us, all the way to Liaodong, almost all of them are plain areas, and then from Liaodong to the pass, aren't they all flat plains? Our army of more than a million cavalry, on the plains, it is invincible. When the time comes, you can directly kill Shanhaiguan. Tonton said contemptuously.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Kebineng with great meaning, and said cryptically: "Prince Kebineng, I heard that the future king of the Xianbei clan has been determined to be you, right?" Tell me, if I swung my army south, entered the Han Dynasty, and entered the Han Dynasty, what would happen to your tribe? Are you going to enter the customs with me? Or is it still our earlier agreement, that your tribe has moved from the mountains to the grassland where my Wuhuan tribe now lives? ”

"Uh...... This ......" can face the topic of the debau, but it is not easy to answer for a while.

Kebi can understand the meaning of Bang Dun in his heart, and knows that Bang Dun wants to be a vassal to him, and wants his Xianbei clan to become a branch of the Wuhuan tribe of Bang Dun, and he will always be the king.

However, Kebineng is also a very ambitious person, how could he submit to Badun and merge his Xianbei clan into the Wuhuan clan? Ke Bineng knew in his heart that in his heart, he actually hoped that his Xianbei clan could also enter the customs with his Wuhuan clan. In this way, when he arrived in the middle of the Han Dynasty, he had better control over his Xianbei tribe. If his Xianbei clan stays outside the pass, then he is worried that his Xianbei clan will one day really grow stronger and become a threat to their Wuhuan clan, just like his Wuhuan clan is now strong enough to threaten the entire Han Dynasty.

Kebi Neng can't help but be a little worried now, worried about whether Badun will attack him and destroy his Xianbei clan first. (To be continued......)
