For a long time, unless the two armies were fighting, it was rare to raise a butcher's knife against the ordinary people of the alien race. Even when the Han people were at their strongest, as long as they were forced to submit to the Han Dynasty and become a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, then their nation could live in peace without worrying about what the Han people would do to them. Sometimes, they even carried out partial invasion and robbery of the Han people, and the Han people would not really do anything to them.

However, this time, the Han people were really angry, and this time the incident of killing hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu people in the state can be said to have shocked China and foreign countries, and stunned the Hu people outside the Saiwai.

Of course, when the Chinese people heard this, almost everyone applauded, while the Hu people were all worried, worried that the Han army would take the opportunity to send troops outside the Saiwai, and some Hu tribes who lived close to the border with the Han Dynasty also migrated farther away. After receiving the news that more than 200,000 Xiongnu cavalry were defeated by Liu Yi and hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu people, they were so frightened that they immediately canceled the operation and stopped snooping on Youzhou.

This battle made the border of the Han Dynasty not invade the Han in the next few years, and the first battle frightened the Hu people.

It is precisely because of this that the princes of the Han Dynasty have a chance to breathe and take the opportunity to develop. Especially Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, the reason why he can still hold on to Yuan Shao is because there is no harassment from the Wuhuan people behind his back.

But that's all for later.

At this moment, Yu Fuluo, the king of the Huns, did not know the tragic fate of his hundreds of thousands of people, and he was still looking forward to Liu Yi not killing his people.

He led tens of thousands of remnants of the Huns, and fought with Gao Shun's army to march at a speed. Even if Yu Fuluo's fate should not be extinguished, he saw the opportunity early and decisively gave up Jinyang and withdrew, plus they were all cavalry. His people were all frightened by the Han army, and they were determined to flee back to Saiwai as soon as possible. Therefore, after constantly beating horses, it only took half a day to escape to Yamen Pass.

When Yu Fuluo fled to Yamen Pass, Gao Shun was only about ten miles away from Yamen Pass. They watched Yu Fuluo's defeated army pass through their noses. Then. The two armies were only ten miles apart, and Gao Shun's army couldn't catch up.

But this is also a matter of the front and rear feet, Yu Fuluo didn't have time to take a breath at the Yamen Pass, and Gao Shun's army had already killed under the Yamen Pass.

Gao Shun had only 30,000 military horses. Most of them were infantry. If it was peacetime, Yu Fuluo still had about 50,000 cavalry, and he would definitely fight with the army that killed the Yamen Pass, but his sergeant. The morale had already fallen to the bottom, and there was no longer a little will to fight, they saw that the Han army was killed, and Yu Fuluo couldn't stop them, so they all fled outside the pass in a panic. There was no choice but to continue to lead the army to escape from the cliff gate.

It's a pity that the detour was farther away, and Zhao Yun's army, which captured the Great Wall, couldn't catch up and couldn't come in time to intercept Yufuluo.

But. As a result, the entire merger of states is equivalent to completely falling into the hands of Liu Yi.

Two days later, Gao Shun and Zhao Yun's army converged, leaving 10,000 soldiers to guard the continuous Great Wall. Leaving 10,000 soldiers to guard the cliff gate, and then sending a small number of troops to occupy the entry and exit passes in various parts of the border, completely cutting off the retreat of the Huns in the pass.

The rest of the army. Began to purge Yamen, Shangjun and other places.

The Huns, counting from the time of entering the customs. In less than two months, in addition to the 40,000 or 50,000 cavalry who fled with the Xiongnu king Yu Fuluo, more than 100,000 cavalry and hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu people were all lost.

The entire Xiongnu clan, whose population is only about 2 million, has now lost a large number of tens or nearly 1 million people at once, and their vitality has been greatly damaged. Other Hu tribes that have been oppressed by the Xiongnu have also taken this opportunity to become stronger, like the Xianbei tribe that has been suppressed by the Xiongnu, they also took this opportunity to send troops to capture a lot of places belonging to the Xiongnu, and have achieved great development.

Historically, the Xiongnu developed rapidly because they got the annexation of the state, but now, because of the arrival of Liu Yi, they did not get the annexation of the state, and lost so many people. It can be said that from now on, they are already going to perish. In time, I am afraid that if Liu Yi does not send troops to attack them, they will also be wiped out by other Hu tribes that have grown stronger. The arrival of Liu Yi was also tantamount to accelerating the demise of the Xiongnu clan, but it also allowed the Xianbei clan to develop.

The Xianbei clan is not a good bird, and Liu Yi will not let them develop. After the Han Dynasty is stabilized a little, when the conditions are met, Liu Yi will definitely go out to expand the territory.

The annexation of the prefecture was too large, and it took more than a month after the war for the local government to officially count the situation in the annexation area.

A few years ago, there were a total of three or four million people in the state, but with the catastrophe of natural disasters, there are only a few hundred thousand and less than one million people in the entire state. Such a number is really surprising.

Bingzhou is a big state, although it is vast and sparsely populated, but there are only a few hundred thousand people, which is really surprising.

You must know that several large counties in Bingzhou, just the county seats, originally combined, may have a population of more than one million, plus some small towns, and villages in Bingzhou, it is not surprising that there are three or four million people, but Liu Yi really did not expect that after the turmoil, the population of the merger of states will decrease so much.

However, if you talk about it in detail, it is not incomprehensible that there are still only a few hundred thousand people left in the state.

Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the plague was epidemic, and at least more than 100,000 or 200,000 people died of disease in the entire prefecture, and after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the people were displaced, and some people would be lost, among them, a considerable number of people died of starvation. Later, it was a little more stable for a year or two, but at that time, the people of Bingzhou may not be more than three million.

In recent years, there have been the most military disasters, countless casualties, and almost all the people in the state are barely trying to survive. Now, as soon as the Huns came, there were at least hundreds of thousands of people killed by the Huns, which was by no means smaller than the number of Huns killed by Liu Yijun. Also, Yuan Shao moved away a lot of people in Jinyang, in addition, the people of Shangdang County have not been counted now, and the people of Hedong County have not been counted.

In this way, it is reasonable that there are less than one million people in the state now.

In the face of the population situation of the state, Liu Yi really scratched his head, which really responded to the saying that the land is vast and sparsely populated. Such a little person. What's the point of occupying and annexing the state? Does it make sense for his own army of hundreds of thousands to guard a vast state and county with a population of less than a million?

Fortunately, Jia Xu and Xun Wenruo gave Liu Yi a good idea. Actually, this idea is not a new idea, during the Warring States period. The state of Qin had already implemented it.

Then. The Qin State also faced such a situation, that is, their land was vast and sparsely populated, and many lands were not cultivated, so they later adopted a method. Attracting people from other countries to enter his country to cultivate, in this way, slowly, the Qin state grew stronger, and finally destroyed the other six countries. Unify the world.

Liu Yi's situation at this time was also a bit like the situation in Qin State at that time.

The Dahan New Dynasty Xinmin Daily was able to play a role again at this time.

First of all, it informed the people of the Han Dynasty of the might of the Han army of the New Han Dynasty, and told the people of the world in detail about the deeds of defeating the Xiongnu army, so that the people of the Han Dynasty could see it as if they were there. I saw the majesty of the Han army of the New Han Dynasty.

Then, he told the people about the situation of the foreign ethnic groups outside the Cypriot Islands, so that the people knew clearly that the foreign ethnic groups outside the Cypriot Islands were all afraid. Do not dare to violate the borders of the state again. At the same time, he also introduced Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Huang Xu, Gao Shun and other generals to the people. Let the people of the world know how powerful these generals are. Now, they are separately garrisoning troops on the border, preparing to march to the outside of the Cypriot Islands. Crack down on the alien nationalities that have been persecuting the Han Dynasty.

Saying this, it is not really necessary to immediately send troops to attack the Hu people outside the Saiwai. Rather, it is to show the people of Dahan that Bingzhou is now safe, there will be no more dangers, and there will be no more foreign invasions.

Then, the benefits of the annexed states were introduced one by one, and the annexed states were praised as flowers. In short, it is to say how good the benefits of merging states are, and how good they are.

In the end, it is to recruit from all over the world, and those who come to Bingzhou to open up wasteland and cultivate land will get more or less benefits, which makes everyone excited.

In addition, Jia Xu believes that among the Hu people, there are actually many Hu people who can be educated, and they have listed some lists of Hu tribes for Liu Yi, and they can send people to contact, and they can recruit some Hu people to let the Han people teach them to farm. In this way, from generation to generation, they can also be sinicized and will not become a threat to the Han people.

For this, Liu Yi feels that it is not unavoidable, there are really many Hu tribes, Liu Yi may not be able to really kill them all, some Hu tribes have indeed been friendly with the Han people for generations and trade with each other normally. Those Hu people also have a lot of respect for the culture of the Han people.

Not to mention the general Xiaohu tribes, like the two big Hu tribes of Di and Qiang, they are actually some Hu tribes who are very strict in sinicization, and the reason why they have been plundering the Han people in Xiliang is actually because they are indeed difficult to survive, and there are also Han people who have been exploiting them too much, and they have to rebel. If the Han people can treat them equally and let them live like Han people, they will not be anti-Han.

Jia Xu is a native of Xiliang, and he is very clear about the situation of the Xiliang Hu tribe, and his mention is not unreasonable.

In fact, in history, Zhuge Liang's transformation of the Hu people was very good, in Xishu, the Han people and the Hu people can basically live in peace, and even the Hu people regard themselves as Han people. Zhuge Liang's apprentice Jiang Wei, he is a Qiang person, but he can die for the Han people, so it can be seen that the Hu people are not without some tribes that can be assimilated.

And Liu Yi is a person in the future, knowing that dozens of ethnic groups in China can coexist in later generations, and he also knows very well that the badness of some alien people cannot be assimilated. Like the Huns, the Qiang people, and so on. The current Xianbei clan is also a threat.

In fact, Liu Yi only needs to strike at those large Hu tribes, absorb those small Hu tribes, move them into the vast land of the Han people, and let them live a life with the same certainty as the Han people, so that they will be assimilated by the Han people. Of course, special care should be taken that their tribes must not be allowed to become large tribes in the same place, and that if that happens, they must be forcibly dispersed. As long as they are not allowed to have absolute power, then it is impossible for the Hu people to do anything big.

In the Jin Dynasty after the Three Kingdoms, the reason why there were five Hu chaos happened was because of the Hun clan of the Hu people, their clansmen all lived together, allowing them to develop and grow rapidly, and the most failed of them was that they still had the power of autonomy, and the imperial court was not thorough enough to govern them.

Liu Yi now, if he really accepts some small tribes of the Hu people to live in Han soil. Then they must obey all the laws and disciplines of the Han court, they no longer have the right of autonomy, and they must follow the rules of the court.

Just like the Huaxia of later generations, no matter what, even if they have nominal autonomous provinces. In fact. I still have to listen to the party. Of course, for the accepted Hu people, Liu Yi will not take any special care of the Hu people like later generations. As. The policy that minority ethnic groups can retain the custom of carrying machetes at their waists, but the Han people cannot, and the policy of implementing family planning for Han people, while minority ethnic groups can give birth at will, and so on.

Accept the Hu people into the land of the Han Chinese. When they learned farming from the Han people and let them live in the Han area, let the Dahonglu government send people to contact them, and those who could accept the terms of the new Han court could let them move in.

Of course, on their own side, how to do it or how to do it.

In the border areas, in fact, there are not many people left, and it is difficult to see people within a radius of more than ten miles. But. Before the people came, they sent troops and built small forts at border places, every three miles or so. Every fortress. It can accommodate about a few hundred people. Then, the resident one is in the fortress.

This, the incorporated sergeants of the state can come in handy.

These sergeants were all organized into the border guards of the Han Dynasty and the New Dynasty. Like other sergeants, they can be paid a salary. They. In the future, they will be stationed at these forts, and they can move their families with them so that they can cultivate land near the forts. The grain obtained by these military dependents is not taxable, and the reclaimed fields also belong to them with the right to use, and nominally they are still the property of the New Han Dynasty, but in fact, it is equivalent to their private property.

With such a policy, many people are very happy to stay in the small fortress.

If you have a military salary, you can get land, and you can be with your family, who doesn't want to be such a soldier? Now, the aliens are scared, and there are still a large number of troops guarding the Great Wall, and their main task in the small fortress is actually to play a vigilant role, and they don't really have to fight the aliens head-on. In the event of an invasion by aliens in the future, they could take refuge in small fortified fortresses, which they could hold onto, and as long as they held on for a while, the troops stationed not far from them would come to their rescue.

According to the plan, a small fortress was built within a radius of about three miles, and a larger garrison fortress was built within a radius of twenty miles, and a large fortress would generally garrison 200 to 500 people, which was equivalent to the strength of a county town. Coupled with the manpower of each small fortress, there is no need to worry about the arrival of aliens with less than 1,000 people.

Small forts can support each other, and the same goes for large forts, and reinforcements will arrive quickly if there is an enemy.

In fact, this method is also a better way to defend the border defense of the Han Dynasty by foreigners for a long time.

Besides, most of these soldiers who stayed behind in the small fortress were the original Bingzhou soldiers, almost all of them were Bingzhou people, and they all had a deep blood feud with foreign people, and they were very happy to take on such a task.

This matter was carried out very quickly, and it was not a problem to build a small fortress, because tens of thousands of Hun cavalry were captured, and these were all powerful young and strong people, and it was best to drive them to build a small fortress. If it weren't for the atrocities of the Huns, which aroused the anger of the Han army, wiped out hundreds of thousands of Huns, and added hundreds of thousands of free coolies, the process of building small fortresses might have been faster.

Now, in the Lianfang area of Bingzhou, as far as the eye can see, you can see the towering small fortresses, a bit like the fortresses of later generations.

Generally, the small fortress is built at the highest point within a radius of a few miles, the fortress wall is several zhang high, and the wall tower is also built with a higher arrow tower watchtower, which can see farther.

To be honest, such a small fortress that is strong and not too big, even if thousands of people come, it will be difficult to break through for a while.

In normal times, ten people stayed behind, and if these sergeants moved their families here, once they found that the enemy was coming, they could sound gongs and drums and light the beacon tower to warn. As soon as the warning sounded, those who worked within a few miles of the vicinity could immediately run back to the fort.

Ten soldiers, plus their families, how can we say that there will be twenty or thirty people, right? Standing on the high fortress wall, even a small child can throw a stone and kill the enemy when he sees them climbing up. Therefore, it is said that it is ten soldiers, in fact, there will be many people involved in the defense of each fortress.

As soon as the fortress is broken, all people will die, so under the threat of death, don't underestimate the will of ordinary people to survive. These people, together with ten well-trained sergeants, can resist the invading enemy, and as long as the enemy stays for a while, reinforcements will arrive and save the day.

Liu Yi came to Yamen Pass, met with Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Huang Xu, Gao Shun and others, stayed at Yamen Pass for a month, and finally finished dealing with the affairs here.

Gao Shun said that he would not go to Luoyang anymore, he was worried that if he went to Luoyang, he would be like a few years ago, he could only train the army at the Dazepo base, and could not participate in the war, he hoped to stay in Yamen Pass to guard.

He used to guard Yamen Pass with Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and others, and had special feelings for Yamen Pass, so Liu Yi had no choice but to let him and order him to stay at Yamen Pass as the main general. Then he led the army with the generals and returned to Luoyang in victory.
