Chapter 475: Liu Yi's hesitation

The siege of Tianzhen has been lifted, and the Wuhuan tribe army of Louban has withdrawn to the mountains and forests to the north.

Soon after Liu Yi arrived at Yamen Pass, he received information from Gao Shun and Xu Chu jointly. Among them, it is natural to mention that Xu Chu led the army out of the customs without permission. However, Liu Yi just smiled, and naturally he would not punish Xu Chu in any way.

Seriously, Liu Yi can completely leave the battle to the generals below without having to fight in person. However, Liu Yi felt that for such a big battle, it was completely a matter of two things, such as his own conquest and waiting for the war in Luoyang. Having his own personal expedition will comprehensively improve the morale of the New Han Army, and it will also highlight the determination of the New Han Dynasty to exterminate the Wuhuan alien race.

What's more, Liu Yi's goal is not just to exterminate the Wuhuan clan, but the entire north outside the Guan, the entire northeast, and Liu Yi intends to return it to the territory of the New Han Dynasty.

Liu Yi didn't know when the three northeastern provinces were officially incorporated into the Chinese territory, but this time, Liu Yi had to determine the basic territory of the Han Dynasty first. Let the New Han army first kill the northeast Heilongjiang, and cross the Heilongjiang River, and the vast area north of the Heilongjiang River will be included in the territory of the Han Dynasty. Of course, there is no hurry, because Liu Yi is not sure whether there are already human beings living in those places in the areas further north of Heilongjiang. But according to estimates, there should be none. Those areas are too far away and too cold. Now, it is impossible for Liu Yi to really wave his army to the Far East.

What Liu Yi needs to do now is first to destroy the Wuhuan clan, and then follow the trend to destroy Xianbei. Of course, exterminating the Xianbei tribe, Liu Yi estimates that it will not be easy. If he could, Lewi would prefer to be able to accept it. But. Even if it is accepted, there will be big problems. Because of the Northeast region. It is too far from the political center of the Han Dynasty, and it is good to say now that the New Han Army can go on an expedition at any time. Liu Yi was worried that a hundred years later, the area too far from the center of the Han Dynasty would break away from the rule of the Han Dynasty and become enemies of the Han Dynasty, and he would attach importance to the tragedy of the Wuhu Rebellion.

In Liu Yi's heart, it was actually difficult to make up his mind for a while, and in the end, he was a one-size-fits-all approach to those aliens. And he shall destroy them all? Or subdue them to sinicize.。 Sinicization of different races,It takes time.,It's not something that can be done overnight.。 What makes Liu Yi most uneasy is that those aliens are always aliens, and they are wolves. I am afraid that after they learn the civilization of the Han Dynasty and learn the technology of the Han Dynasty, they will in turn harm the Han Dynasty.

The current Han Dynasty is not the era of the future. In the Hereafter. In terms of population, economy, politics, transportation, etc., it is superior to the present ancient times. Even if Liu Yi is now expanding the territory of the Han Dynasty and laying down a big country, it is difficult for him to substantially rule those places.

Because of the current big man. There are only such a few people, just in the best environment of Dahan, which is enough for them to live well. If not necessary. Who will move the people of the Han Dynasty to live farther in the northeast? There is no place where Han Chinese live. Those aliens can take over the rule of the Han government even in a short period of time. But it's definitely not a long-term solution.

Sinicization,It's not just talking.,It's not that the government has formulated some policies for people of different races to follow.,It's not that it taught them to speak the language of the Han people.,Taught them to write the Han language.,Teach them to live the same way as the Han people.。 The real sinicization is to let those people of different races live with the Han people, from the language, writing, lifestyle, ideology, etc., to synchronize together, and to integrate into a whole, so that it is difficult to distinguish between Han and Han again. In this way,It's the real sinicization.。

The sinicization that didn't live with the Han people.,That's pseudo-sinicization.。 Liu Yi really thought a lot about this question. It can be said that it is considered in combination with ancient and modern China and the West.

If we were to govern the aliens from the above-mentioned mere way, it would be tantamount to the post-modern model of later generations. Let the West learn the technology of the Han people, and then, on the contrary, produce more advanced guns to attack China, almost let China destroy the country and the species. This bloody lesson, Liu Yi had to consider.

For the current New Han Dynasty, Liu Yi exterminated the Huns, subdued the desert alien tribes, and not long ago, also subdued the alien tribes of Xiliang such as Di and Qiang in Xiliang. For the aliens and their places in the desert and Xiliang regions, Liu Yi is confident that the aliens in those areas will be completely sinicized. After all, those areas are big, but they're just too barren. After the New Han Dynasty set up government offices in those areas, it was able to control the aliens in those areas very well. At present, those alien people, the dependence on the Han is too strong, if the current situation continues, the ethnic groups on the desert will only have a closer and closer relationship with the Han, in the future, even if they are tossed, I am afraid that they will not be able to toss too much storm.

However, the alien races in the Northeast are different, and if they learn the culture and technology of the Han people, they cannot truly integrate with the Han people. In the future, it will inevitably be a great scourge for the Han people.

However, it is strange to say that Liu Yi can be ruthless to the Japanese and determined in his heart to completely exterminate the Japanese people, but it is difficult to make a decision in his heart about the aliens on the mainland. It's like the Xianbei tribe, its clan, even if Liu Yi doesn't know it from history, he can feel the wolf ambition of the Xianbei tribe, but now he is about to send troops to do it against them, but he feels that although his clan is a potential alien race that poses a threat to the Han Dynasty, but now, they have indeed not done any substantial harm to the Han formation. If the New Han Army exterminated them for no reason, it seemed a bit inhumane.

Well, in the final analysis, Liu Yi is also a human being, with his own concepts, and the kindness that all Chinese people should have. Even if he knew that those alien races would cause great harm to the Han in the future, for now, asking Liu Yi to raise the butcher's knife against them made Liu Yi's heart a little unbearable. This, or humanity, is humanity.

Liu Yi is a little ambitious, and he wants to dominate the world and rule the whole world in the hands of the Han people, but Liu Yi's starting point is not to destroy the whole world and make the whole world only Han people. It is to make the Han people stronger, lay a solid foundation for the Han people, and keep the Han people always standing on the top of the world.

As a matter of fact. Liu Yi also knew one thing very well in his heart, knowing that even if there was only one nation left in the world, the Han people. But. The Han themselves still have a civil war. Some things cannot be avoided.

So. Liu Yi, whose thinking has become more and more mature, no longer thinks that exterminating all aliens who are dangerous to the Han people is the best way to make the Han people prosperous forever. What is the saying? Born in good times, died in peace. If Liu Yi now wiped out the aliens who threatened the Han Dynasty at one time, and even the non-Han ethnic states of the entire world, so what? In this way, can the Han people really prosper for a long time?

For various reasons, Liu Yicai decided to go into the enlistment. A qiē depends on the situation. But one thing is not going to change. Regardless of whether Xianbei is destroyed or not, and whether the alien races and kingdoms in the world will be destroyed in the future, Liu Yi decided to first delineate an unprecedented huge territory for the Han Dynasty. At the very least, it is necessary to make it clear that the territories of later generations, the disputed territories, are all officially classified as the territory of the Han Dynasty.

If you can. Liu Yi felt that it would be a historic moment for him to lay a national boundary monument by himself. For now, of course. It doesn't make much sense to do this, because, Lewis estimates. After crossing the Heilongjiang River to the north, I really don't know if there are any human beings.

But. I don't want to think about it too much now, and I have to eat it one bite at a time. The road must be taken one step at a time.

Now that Tianzhen is fine, Liu Yi doesn't need to rush to Tianzhen. Louban's Wuhuan army has withdrawn, and it is estimated that it will definitely withdraw to the Wuhuan camp at the foot of Chifeng Mountain to join Badun. For the time being, on the steppe, there should be no fighting. The key is how to completely solve the Wuhuan camp.

Liu Yi estimated that for the Wuhuan alien race, I am afraid that there will be a decisive battle with the clan. I don't know when the 100,000 cavalry of the Yan clan will arrive, if the army of the Yan clan dares to arrive. Then, Liu Yi's army and horses have reached more than 400,000 troops, and with the military horses of Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, and Gongsun Du, in terms of total strength, they are not inferior to the Wuhuan army, and they can completely wipe out the Wuhuan clan at the foot of Chifeng Mountain.

Of course, Liu Yi still has to beware of the Wuhuan tribe scattering and fleeing into the northern forests. If they scattered and fled, it would also bring great trouble to the New Han Army's complete recovery of the Northeast region. Therefore, Liu Yi hopes that the Wuhuan tribe is still concentrated at the foot of Chifeng Mountain, so that the New Han army can better concentrate and exterminate its clan.

Therefore, Liu Yi believed that his army had to go from the Mongolian steppe, bypassing the mountains, and entering the northeast. However, in this way, you have to pass through the territory of the Xianbei people first, and you have to conflict with the Xianbei people first.

The mountains are vast, and now that it has snowed, I hope that the Wuhuan alien race will not disperse when the wind and snow are combined.

The poison on Xuanyuan Feng's body has been completely eliminated, and she can heal her injuries with luck. However, she still wanted Liu Yi to treat her with Yuanyang True Qi, because she cared very much about whether there would be an ugly scar on her abdomen.

Or, now, emotionally, she can finally find a place to sustenance, so she is unusually close to and dependent on Lewi. Although she didn't say anything, everyone could see that she didn't want to be separated from Liu Yi, but wanted to stay by Liu Yi's side.

Liu Yi naturally felt it, so he agreed that she would not stay in Jinyang to be with Mrs. Yan, Gan Qian, and Yi Ji, and promised her to let her go with him.

Well, the wound on her abdomen is indeed too troublesome, and if she only rests on herself, it is estimated that she will not be completely healed in a month or two. And it's really hard to say if there will be a scar on her abdomen in the future. But with Liu Yi, it is different, Liu Yi estimates that ten days and a half months will be fine, and there will be no scars. It may be because of this consideration that Liu Yi would rather march slower, and follow Xuanyuan Feng's wishes and take her to the expedition together.

Pan Feng has already arrived at Shuofang County, and for the New Han Dynasty, Shuofang County is indeed more important than Tianzhen. Tianzhen was besieged by the Wuhuan army that came to Louban, and Pan Feng originally planned to send troops to rescue. However, his army and horses are not many, and he has to be wary of whether the Wuhuan army will attack Shuofang City. Gao Shun has already sent someone, indicating that Pan Feng does not need to send troops to rescue. Therefore, Pan Fengcai did not lead the army to rescue Tianzhen.

Lewis already knew about these things, so he didn't say anything.

After spending the night at Yamen, he left the gate early the next morning and led the army to Tianzhen.

More than 400 miles, two days of walking. Liu Yi arrived in Tianzhen.

Xu Chu and Gao Shun went out of the city to greet them and welcomed Liu Yi and his party into Tianzhen City.

Tianzhen has restored normal order. Of course, this time the town was besieged. Whether it was the people of Tianzhen or the New Han Army, there were many casualties. The atmosphere in the city is not very good, and it may be the reason why the weather is already cold, the city is cold and deserted, and a few cries can be heard from time to time.

Liu Yirang went to the official office and appointed a Tianzhen city guard, so he refused Gao Shun's invitation and did not have a banquet. This is the time of war, and it is not appropriate to eat and drink too much.

The next day, Liu Yi presided over a funeral ceremony for soldiers who died in battle, and then discussed with the generals.

In the official office hall, Liu Yi, Gao Shun, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Guo Jian, etc., and all military generals, including generals above the battalion level, all came to participate in the discussion.

Gao Shun first made some previous battle reports, and then asked Liu Yi for his guilt.

"My lord. Gao was careless, mainly because the Wuhuan camp at the foot of Chifeng Mountain attracted the attention of our army, thinking that the Wuhuan king had summoned his whole clan to assemble. Moreover, nearly three million tribesmen and millions of Wuhuan cavalry troops were assembled at once. This is already the full strength of the Wuhuan people. Didn't think about it. After all these years of development, the Wuhuan tribe actually has such a population. Calculate it carefully. It will not be less than the Huns of the Huns, or even more. So. Our scout spies did not conduct a more careful search of the deep mountains in the north, and Lou Ban secretly gathered hundreds of thousands of foreign military horses in the deep mountains, and we didn't even know about it, which was a dereliction of duty by the last general. Our army was attacked by the Wuhuan cavalry and suffered heavy losses, and the lord and the last general asked for punishment and was willing to bear a qiē responsibility. Gao Shun knelt in front of Liu Yi and said with a heavy expression.

Liu Yi stood up from the main case, walked down the hall, helped Gao Shun up, patted Gao Shun's arms and said, "Brother Gao Shun, you and I are brothers, there is no need to be like this." Well, our Xinhan Army is known as an invincible and undefeated army, but in this world, where can there really be a victorious general? Where will there be an undefeated division? Frequent defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and what is the responsibility for unintentional mistakes? Don't say it's you, even if it's our imperial court, who can calculate that the Wuhuan tribe still has another army? In fact, none of us are omniscient and omnipotent, and all of us will have a time when we stumble. With more than 100,000 military horses, you faced the ambush and sneak attack of more than 300,000 Wuhuan cavalry troops, but you were still able to break through and leave, led more than half of the army to retreat to Tianzhen, and defended Tianzhen City, which was underarmed. That's a big deal. ”

Liu Yi raised his hand, stopped Gao Shun, and continued: "Tianzhen City, its geographical location is actually very important, earlier, the imperial court did not pay enough attention to Tianzhen, and it is not yet time. In fact, in the future, Tianzhen will become a political, economic, and cultural center for our rule over the desert and the steppes beyond. At the same time, it will also be an important town for our external defense. In the future, the scale of Tianzhen City will be expanded to make it a real big city. I can tell you that with Tianzhen as the center, we can radiate farther to the north, north, and east, and we can bring all the areas within a radius of thousands of miles under the rule of our New Han Dynasty. In the future, our Great Wall will only be a sightseeing walkway in our back garden, and will not become a Great Wall that we use to defend against foreign invasions. Therefore, in the near future, we will withdraw the military horses guarding the Great Wall to Tianzhen, to the towns in the desert and grasslands. And you generals, in the future, will not only be to guard the borders of our Han Dynasty, but to march farther away, expand the territory of our Han Dynasty, and lay a broader territory for our Han Dynasty. ”

"My lord! We will swear to follow the lord to the death and conquer the world! ”

The generals, not only Gao Shun, heard Liu Yi's words, and their hearts seemed to be burning with a fire. Because, individual generals have heard Liu Yi talk about the world's great things more than once, and compared with the unification of the Han Dynasty, they are more opinionated to follow Liu Yi to conquer the world.

In fact, the current soldiers of the New Han Army, they all have a strong sense of honor, because, as far as the current New Han Dynasty is concerned, although the Han Dynasty has not completely recovered the Han Dynasty, the elimination of the Xiongnu and the return of the Northwest Desert to the territory of the New Han Dynasty is already an unprecedented achievement since looking at China. Speaking of which, the officers and soldiers of the New Han Army, each of them, will be proud of this, on the contrary, like the recovery of Youzhou, Jizhou, Jingzhou and other places, their sense of honor is not too strong, but when it comes to fighting foreign people, the soldiers are like beating chicken blood, and everyone is excited.

As soldiers, the horse leather shroud and the expansion of the territory are their destination and what they are pursuing. As for what to say about defending the country and protecting the peace of one side, that's all nonsense. Soldiers, do not seek to expand the territory, only want to defend, without a little enterprising spirit, what are the soldiers?

The general trend of the world in the future is not suitable to take the initiative to start a war, and there is nothing to say. However, everyone else has been hit in the face, and they haven't beaten back, what kind of soldier is this?

Therefore, Liu Yide should cultivate the idea of the soldiers of the New Han Army as early as possible, they should not simply defend the country, but should have the enterprising spirit of being a soldier and the enterprising spirit of opening up territory for the Han Dynasty.
