Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The king of the Huns was in a hurry in Fuluo like a lost dog, and under the escort of the only remaining 40,000 or 50,000 military horses, he abandoned Jinyang and rushed to the cliff gate. Of his 40,000 or 50,000 troops and horses, several thousand of them were troops who stayed in Jinyang, and several thousand of them were called back and sent out to capture Han prisoners.

Yu Fuluo can't take care of so much now, and the captured Han slaves have also been released, and his own people can't take care of so much. He only hoped that he could rush to Yamen Pass before Liu Yi's people, and safely lead his only remaining soldiers and horses to escape back to the outside of the Saiwai.

This time the loss of so many Hun troops, and hundreds of thousands of Huns into a catastrophe situation, he knew that his position as the king of the Huns must be unstable, but if he could bring back the remaining tens of thousands of military horses in time, he still had a certain strength to ensure his status, relying on these tens of thousands of cavalry, after returning to the outside of the Saiwai, he would also be the king of the Huns. Although more than 100,000 Hun cavalry and hundreds of thousands of tribesmen were lost this time, there were still many Huns in the desert outside the Saiwai, as long as they were all assembled, there would be one or two million tribesmen, and it would not be a problem to pick out one or two hundred thousand young people from them, and when the time came, he would still be the king of the desert. However, in a short period of time, it is impossible to fight the idea of the Central Plains Han soil.

This is his last chance, so no matter what, Yu Fuluo must bring these tens of thousands of Hun cavalry back to Saiwai.

Just when he was desperately fleeing towards Yamen Pass, Gao Shun's army of 30,000 troops and horses also desperately marched towards Yamen Pass, and the two armies just marched towards Yamen Pass one after another, to see who could reach Yamen Pass first.

On the other side, Tai Shici led an army of 100,000 and officially crossed the Fenshui River from Hedong and entered the Heshi territory.

As soon as the sergeants arrived in Hexi, they immediately scattered their troops and captured the towns in Hexi County one by one. All the armies that passed, whether they were bandits or bandits or local forces, and those who did not surrender were all annihilated.

It's only half a day. The army occupied most of the southeast of the river.

Every time a town is occupied, a notice is posted to reassure the people, ordering all residents to stay at home and not to move around. Leave some of the sergeants behind. Occupy the local government offices and guard the cities of the town. At the same time, send a quick horse to report to the Luoyang Imperial Court, so that the court and the central government can send officials to govern these towns.

for how to govern these towns. There has already been a fixed pattern. Millions of people in Luoyang can be governed in a short period of time, and these small towns are relatively simple to govern.

As soon as the officials sent by the imperial court arrived, with the cooperation of the sergeants who remained to guard the town. Soon a town will be governed.

Liu Yi and several military advisors also discussed how to govern the people in the state, which was somewhat different from the governance plan of the Luoyang area and the border defense areas that were later recaptured.

For example, Jiangcheng in Hexi, which is a county seat, but it is relatively large, and it is the main city in the southeast of Hexi, which can almost reach the prosperity of a county town. Moreover, because the city was not invaded by the Huns, the Huns had not yet attacked and killed the southeast of Hexi. The people of the city did not suffer much from the calamity. Inside the city. In fact, there are still officers and soldiers, but these officers and soldiers are not under the jurisdiction of the New Han Dynasty or the imperial court controlled by Dong Zhuo, they are the old department of Ding Yuan. After Ding Yuan's death, they took the county seat by themselves and became a small force.

There are not many officers and soldiers in the city. Less than 500 people, after Tai Shi Ci sent an army to capture the city. Seeing that they could not resist, these officers and soldiers opened the gates of the county town and surrendered.

For such a town, Tai Shi Ci will directly send people to collect these soldiers, choose the best to stay, and if they don't, they will let them return home on their own first, or stay in the official office and wait for the imperial court to send officials to make arrangements.

For the people in the city, after the officials are dispatched, they will first be registered, including population and property. Here, the property is not confiscated, it is theirs and always theirs. All these officials had to do was to make a statistical account of their property, so that they could then be governed.

For example, there are many people who do not have land, so they can only rent the fields of some local nobles and tyrants, but in fact, the state is a vast and sparsely populated place, and in many places, there is no one to cultivate it at all. In this way, there is no need to attack the local nobles and local tyrants, and the places that have not yet been cultivated are distributed to those landless people who have no land to cultivate.

Of course, for those who own a lot of land, their land will be taken back to the government, but they can also have the right to use it. This is fair to everyone, because the people who are allocated to the land only have the right to use it. In other words, they actually owned the land, but nominally it belonged to the imperial government. No one dares to have any objection to this, because the whole world is not the king's land. When they cultivated the land, they had to pay taxes to the court according to the area of the land. The more land they had, the more taxes they had to pay. Similarly, here is also like the Luoyang area, their land cannot be lost, and whoever loses it will be punished by the imperial court and repossessed by the imperial court.

Using this method, those nobles and tyrants had to donate some uncultivable land to the imperial court. In this way, it is also better to exercise unified and regular governance over these places, and it is also possible to effectively control these places in name and in fact, so that these places can be officially summarized as the rule of the New Han Dynasty. It can also make some uneasy local forces dare not mess around.

There are soldiers and horses guarding the town, to protect the safety of the people, and the population of the town has been subject to statistical jurisdiction, and some effective policy measures have been adopted, most of the decrees, in fact, are beneficial to the local people, as long as the implementation continues, these people will naturally return to the New Han Dynasty, in the future, they will get benefits, can live a better life, they will know the benefits of the New Han Dynasty.

After the army of the New Han Dynasty came, the benefits were visible to the local people. The army of the New Army Dynasty drove away the Huns for them, eliminated some bandits and robbers who caused trouble in the local areas, and exercised effective control over the local tyrants who oppressed them. What excites them the most about a better life in the future is that they too will be able to own their own land. The common people all knew that whether they received the fields to be cleared from the government of the New Han Dynasty or cultivated for the local tyrants, they had to pay taxes, but for the local tyrants to farm, they had to pay more land taxes and accept an additional layer of exploitation. Right now. After the army of the New Han Dynasty came, they could directly have their own land for farming, and if they opened up the wasteland, they would also get tax exemption for one or two years. In this case. Who wants to farm for the landlords and tyrants anymore?

And, most importantly, they saw the strength of the army of the New Han Dynasty and saw the neat appearance of the New Han Army. They don't disturb the people, and the people like it from the bottom of their hearts, and they identify with this new Han Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts, so they can also support the government and accept the arrangements of the officials.

Therefore. Wherever Tai Shici's army went, it would be welcomed by many people. Wherever the Red Army went in later generations, the people were all rejoicing.

Therefore, to occupy and govern the annexed states, it is not a big problem, and it is very easy to rule.

There are so many calamities for the people. Bingzhou is not far from Luoyang, and the people of Bingzhou have long heard of the situation in Luoyang, and they actually hope that the New Han Dynasty can cross the Yellow River as soon as possible. The annexed state was included as the rule of the new Han Dynasty.

However, the people in the northwest of Hexi were relatively miserable, because the Huns had already entered those areas. It has caused degrading harm to the local people.

The Huns, even ordinary herdsmen, have a wolf-like heart, and there is no doubt that they are ordinary robbers.

Chahachar. It was a tribal patriarch who was too small to be a teenager in the Xiongnu tribe. Short and fat in stature, with an ugly face. There were only forty or fifty people in his small tribe, all of whom were his relatives.

He had three women, five sons and three daughters, and the others were all children of uncles and uncles. The entire tribe, the three sons of the young man and several other tribesmen, were all recruited by the king of the Huns, so his current tribe is only about thirty people, most of whom are women and children, and then there are several clansmen who are about the same age as him.

For the Huns, the old man is rare. Generally the old people who have passed the age of sixty will be abandoned, if they are lucky, they can still fend for themselves in the desert grassland, if they can walk, or they can also graze their own cattle to get a little food for survival, of course, they must be able to keep it from being robbed by other tribesmen. The Huns not only robbed the Han people, but even their own people would not let go. If you are unlucky, most of the old people in the Huns will be ruthlessly killed.

Chahazar killed his old father and took his flesh to give life to his wife and children, a few years ago when the great famine and the great cold were encountered.

Chahachar, when he was young, he also served in the army, often entered the Han realm to kill and plunder, he knew that the Han people were rich, so this time, the king of the Huns called on the people to migrate into Bingzhou to graze and live, he brought the tribesmen as soon as possible, and drove more than 100 cattle of their whole clan into Bingzhou.

He knew that the closer he got to the Han people's Kyoto, the richer the Han people became, so he did not rush to graze and plunder the Han people as soon as he entered Bingzhou, like the uninformed Huns, he led the tribesmen and drove the sheep all the way to the central region of Hexi.

Here, the aquatic plants are more beautiful and suitable for grazing.

However, did you come to the state just to graze? Chahachar was very disdainful of the short-sightedness of the women in the clan, and was very dissatisfied with their satisfied appearance.

When he came to the place of the Han people, he had already planned that in the future, he would establish a big ranch here, rob more Han women, catch more Han slaves for his servitude, and become a big rancher.

Therefore, after he came to the middle of Hexi, he immediately rushed into a Han village with a few people and ruthlessly killed the Han people in the village.

The village is not large, but there are about a dozen families, and there are 60 or 70 people. However, I don't know if the Han people were really cowardly, or they didn't have time to take precautions, so they were slaughtered by several of his people one by one, and almost all the men were killed, leaving only some women, who didn't even let go of the children.

And those women of theirs, who didn't have the slightest sympathy, looked at them with interest outside the village, pointing and pointing, and laughing about the strength of their men.

Eventually, they took possession of the village, with this village as the center, and prepared to build a large ranch.

They occupied the entire village and lived in Han Chinese thatched houses.

Now, it has been almost ten days, and the villages within more than ten miles have been washed in blood by them, and dozens of women have been locked up by them and humiliated by them at will.

Something like that. Where there are Huns, they are all about the same, those frenzied Huns, killing the Han people at will.

If Liu Yi had seen the atrocities of these Huns with his own eyes, he would have understood. Understand the later Wuhu. Among them, the Capricorns, a mere Xiaohu clan, can almost wipe out the Han race. At this moment, the behavior of the Huns is similar to that of the Capricorns. They don't treat the Han people as human beings at all, but only kill them like ordinary animals. If it weren't for the fact that these Huns were not short of food now, I am afraid that they would still cook and eat like the Capricorns.

This, perhaps, is a small difference between the Huns and the Capricorns, the Huns eat people. They eat when there is a shortage of food, but Capricorns, they will eat people as if they were staple food.

Yan Bin is a subordinate in Yuan Shao's army, his cousin in the Xishan Military Academy is prominent, and now he is the team leader, with more than 100 brothers under his command.

Tai Shici's 100,000 army, after entering Hexi and occupying the southeast of Hexi County, divided his troops into Beidi County, and at the same time divided his troops into the northwest of Hexi County. Because there are already a large number of Huns in the northwest of Hexi County, it is necessary to carry out a carpet-style purge in the northwest area of Hexi County. Catch all the Huns.

In order to completely solve those Huns, the army was all scattered, with a team of 100 or 50 people as the basic unit. Disperse and advance all the way, and be sure to clear all the Huns or some foggy bandits and robbers.

Yan Bin with his brother. Advancing all the way, they caught no less than 100 Huns along the way, among them, a Xiongnu herdsman family of 20 or 30 people actually wanted to resist and stabbed one of their brothers, and the sergeants were angry and killed these 20 or 30 Huns, men, women and children.

The deputy team is called Shirahoshi, and he is a rather old-fashioned guy, in the words of later generations, a dogmatic guy. He was originally a native of Xiangyang, Jingzhou, and participated in the battle against Dong Zhuo with Sun Jian, and later joined Liu Yijun and entered the Xishan Military Academy. He objected to the sergeant violently killing the women and children of the Huns, because there was a rule in military discipline that women and children could not be killed at will. He demanded that the captain, Yan Bin, punish the sergeants who participated in the massacre. It's just that Yan Bin didn't care about him and had a quarrel with him, so the two almost fought.

Of course, this did not affect the army's continued advance.

On this day, they finally advanced to the place where Chahachar was.

The scouts found the slaughtered villages, and the corpses were scattered in the villages, rotting and stinking.

Seeing this situation, the sergeants were furious, but they thought that there were a large number of Xiongnu troops stationed here for this kind of massacre of Han villages. The sergeant carefully reconnoitred and found that there was only one small tribe of the Huns within a radius of more than ten miles.

Now they are a little strange, who slaughtered these villages?

With a sad and indignant attitude, they surrounded this small tribe of Chahachar, captured them, and rescued dozens of women who were captured by Chahachar, and under interrogation, Shirahoshi was stunned. He couldn't believe that there were hundreds of Han people in the ten villages within a radius of more than ten miles, who were slaughtered by Chahachar and a few others.

At this moment, he finally saw the murderous nature of the Huns, and had some understanding of the slaughter of the Huns by the soldiers. He apologized to the captain and personally killed all the women and children of Chahachar. Killing all the people of the small tribe of Chahachar, Bai Xing could not relieve his hatred, and personally killed the Huns who captured them all the way, regardless of men, women, and children.

Since then, Bai Xing has no more compassion and soft-hearted thoughts towards Hu people.

This kind of situation has happened a lot in Tai Shici's army.

Originally, there was a military order to catch the Hun men and keep them as slaves as coolies, but after the sergeants witnessed the cruelty of the Huns, they did not think of keeping prisoners at all.

What a team of 100 people like Yan Bin encountered was just a general situation, and some teams, in the process of their advancement, often encountered many evil things in which the Huns were slaughtering the Han people. The atrocities of the Huns also directly aroused the anger of the Han army, and since then, the Huns have also been exterminated.

The behavior of the sergeants directly led to the hundreds of thousands of Huns who entered the Bingzhou area, and almost all of them were killed, which directly and greatly depleted the vitality of the Huns.

Such a situation was something that Liu Yi did not expect at the beginning. However, it is also the result that Liu Yi subconsciously wants. It's just that Liu Yi was a little soft-hearted at the beginning, and he couldn't give the order to let the sergeant kill all the ordinary Huns. After all, it was not yet time to exterminate the Huns, so Liu Yicai wanted to catch the Huns first and let them do coolies for themselves first.

The sergeants killed the Huns on their own, which also met Liu Yi's appetite.

In this way, the millions of cattle that the Huns drove into Bingzhou from outside the Saiwai completely became Liu Yi's victory.
