With such a large territory in Liaodong, Wei Shuo can no longer be as idle as before, and the time to deal with government affairs has suddenly increased. Liaodong County has six counties under its jurisdiction, with nearly 150,000 Han people!

Fortunately, there are no wealthy families in Liaodong, only some landlords are strong, and the two important policies of the Juntian Order and the Liberation Slave Order have been successfully implemented. The Juntian Order was successfully implemented, and Wei Shuo also gained a firm foothold in Liaodong.

After sorting out Liaodong County, Wei Shuo set his sights on the chaotic Xuansu County in the north, which was originally one of the four counties of the Han Dynasty, and its territory was repeatedly changed by wars and administrative reorganization, and it was once the most extensive and the most important county among the four counties.

However, in the Wei and Jin dynasties, the territory of Xuansu County was greatly reduced. Today's Xuansu County has only three counties, its territory is less than one-fifth of Liaodong County, and its population is less than 30,000, which is half of the population compared with the former Han Dynasty.

With the death of the former Taishou Pei Wu, Xuansu County temporarily fell into a situation where the dragons were leaderless, and Cui Yu had been busy competing with Feng Shi for the dominance of Liaodong, and had no time to take care of Xuansu County in the north. As a result, the Murong tribe in the west and the Goguryeo Kingdom in the east secretly extended their claws to Xuansu County.

"Wen Ji, the main reason why I brought you here today is to inquire about the affairs of Xuanwu County?"

"Xuanwu County? The lord is ready to take Xuansu County together? ”

"Yes, now that the north of Xuanwu County is hanging outside, since your brother left office, the counties of Xuanwu County have their own policies, whether it is Murong Diao in the west or Goguryeo in the east, they are all eyeing Xuanwu County. I am afraid that later, once Xuansu County falls into the hands of the two, I will be surrounded by two strong enemies from three directions. ”

"If we get Xuansu County first, we can not only cut off the connection between Goguryeo and the Murong tribe, but also lock Murong Xianbei in Changli County, blocking the way for its eastward expansion."

Listening to Wei Shuo's plan, Pei Wei thought thoughtfully, he thought for a moment and said, "The lord has the ambition of Lingyun, do you dare to do your best to help?" If the lord is interested in Xuansu County, he might as well make a quick decision! At present, the territory of Xuansu County is divided, and it is the time to raise troops to fight chaos. I believe that with the reputation of the lord in Liaodi at this time, as long as the banner is displayed, all parts of the country will definitely look at the scenery! ”

Knowing that Wei Shuo was interested in Xuansu County, all the generals under his command asked for orders to go on the expedition. However, this time Wei Shuo planned to personally lead the troops to the expedition, not that he intended to compete with his subordinates, but that the expedition to Xuansu County was a rare opportunity to experience and train, which was of great benefit to improving his military command ability.

"Okay, don't fight, you all have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, whether it's training and recruiting recruits or guarding the place, you can't get out for the time being. Let me run it myself this time! ”

"My lord!" As soon as he heard that Wei Shuo was going to personally lead the troops to the battle, he immediately aroused the unanimous opposition of the military forces under his command.

Everyone disagreed with Wei Shuo to go out in person, only to see Shi Miaokai said loudly: "Lord, as the saying goes: A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall!" Why do you insist on leading your troops yourself? Xuansu County is a remote and small place, and only one general needs to be sent, so why not work for the lord to levy it? ”

"Besides, the battlefield soldiers are fierce and dangerous, in case you have any mistakes, won't you let me regret it?"

"Yes, yes!"

Seeing that everyone was strongly opposed, Wei Shuo hurriedly explained: "It is precisely because this battle is easy and there is no danger that I can take the initiative to ask for help, and I just want to take this opportunity to improve my military command ability." As we all know, there is no decent enemy in Xuansu County at all, and I am afraid that if we don't wait for our troops to come to the city, as long as we let out the news, the enemy will flee far away like a frightened deer. ”

……

As the head of the four counties of the Han Dynasty, Xuansu County originally had more than 30,000 Han people, but in the Yongjia period, with the rise of Hu power, Xuanwu County gradually became the residence of Hu people of all ethnic groups. Among them, especially the Karasuma people and the Xianbei people are the most, and now there are nearly 100,000 people in Xuanwu County, far exceeding the Han population.

Wei Shuo rushed to recover Xuansu County, not only to appease the local Han people, but also for the more than 100,000 Xianbei and Karasuma people, otherwise these more than 100,000 Hu people would have to fall into the hands of Murong Diao sooner or later.

"Lord, everything is ready, when will you attack?" Sima Wang Xiang of the cavalry army came to Wei Shuo's side and asked for instructions, and the six thousand cavalry behind him had already lined up in formation, just waiting for Wei Shuo's order.

"Did the scouts send out?"

"It's all sent out!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Six thousand cavalry under the leadership of Wei Shuo began to sweep along the Liaoshui along the entire territory of the Hu tribe in Xuansu County, whenever they encountered the Hu tribe army directly killed the past without asking the reason, slaughtered the nobles, elders, leaders, and leaders of the tribe, leaving only the bankrupt Hu people at the bottom and the rescued slaves!

Unsurprisingly, Wei Shuo encountered several groups of cavalry from the Murong tribe in the western part of Xuansu County, but there was no exchange of fire between the two sides. After the other party took the initiative to leave, Wei Shuo did not order the pursuit. He knew very well that this was not the time to provoke Murong Diao, and the entire Murong tribe had more than 100,000 armor, which was far from being something that Wei Shuo could deal with in front of him!

Fortunately, Murong Diao has not yet invaded Xuansu County on a large scale, so he has given Wei Shuo the opportunity to take advantage of the situation!

"My lord, in front of me is the Xianbei Muti tribe, with a total of 21,300 households and 15,000 cavalry, it is the largest Xianbei tribe in Xuansu County.

Before the expedition, in order to facilitate Wei Shuo to understand the situation in Xuansu County, Pei Wei deliberately transferred his nephew Pei Kai to Wei Shuo's side to give advice, don't look at Pei Kai's youth, but he has lived in Xuanwu County for many years and is familiar with the local situation.

"Xianbei again? Along the way, we met a lot of Xianbei tribes, no wonder the Xianbei people are very arrogant in Liaodong, it turns out that they have the capital to be arrogant! But since we are here, we have to do things according to our rules, and those who don't follow everything are only dead! ”

"What's even more hateful is that the Xianbei people have repeatedly entered the Central Plains to burn, kill, and plunder! Let's collect some interest today! Pass on 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, leaders and other chickens and dogs are not left! Wang Xiang, you lead 3,000 people to attack from the left, and the rest of the people will follow me to attack from the right side!" Remember to move fast and don't let the enemy react! ”

"No!" Wang Xiang clenched his fists and turned to leave.

Looking at Pei Kai, who was a little nervous beside him, Wei Shuo couldn't help laughing: "What? Feeling nervous? Actually, there's nothing to worry about. Although our army is not superior in strength, both the quality of soldiers and combat skills far surpass those Xianbei people. Therefore, as long as we act quickly and covertly, we will definitely be able to wipe out the Xianbei people in one fell swoop before they react! ”

The Xianbei herdsmen, who had just worked for a long day, were preparing dinner, and most of the tribesmen were drinking and having fun in the big tents, not expecting that the territory that had been settled for several years would be attacked by cavalry. In an unguarded situation, the result of encountering 6,000 wolf-like Jin troops can be imagined.

When Wang Xiang led the cavalry to rush into the Xianbei camp first, he happened to meet a Xianbei herdsman who was collecting cattle and sheep, and heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

It wasn't until the ring-headed knife in Wang Xiang's hand slashed in front of him that it finally turned into a white light, and a coolness came from his neck. The herdsman let out a terrible scream, which immediately alarmed countless Xianbei people, and they rushed out of the big tent to see what was happening.

As a result, there was only one snow-bright ring-headed knife to greet the Xianbei people, and each swing of the ring-head knife would bring up a head that rose to the sky, and countless Xianbei people fell under the iron hooves of the Jin army.

The six thousand Jin troops rushed back and forth in the camp of the Muti tribe, as long as they saw the Xianbei people fleeing in a panic, no matter men, women, old and young, they immediately stepped forward with a knife! At the same time, a raging fire broke out in the camp of the Xianbei people, and in the midst of the flames, screams rang out one after another around the camp.

Standing in the distance, Wei Shuo quietly watched the killing in front of him, listening to the screams like night owls, thinking of the people who were suffering from chaos in the Central Plains, and a trace of revenge surged in his heart.
