In May of the second year of Taixing, on the grassland at the southernmost foot of Yinshan Mountain, two armies collided like a flood from the north and south, stirring up the noise and dust that rushed to the sky.

The neighing and shouting of countless war horses resounded through the grassland, and thousands of arms kept waving their war knives in the air, and the blades of the knives flashed one cold light after another in the sun.

As the cold light rose, one after another blood curtains and blood flowers bloomed in the wind.

Watching his loyal subordinates continue to fall, and the situation gradually collapsed, Murong Hao's eyes were red and he was fighting frantically with knives and guns, and now he was no longer looking for victory, but venting his inner unwillingness and helplessness.

originally thought that he could survive by hiding in the Monan grassland, but he didn't expect that the Liaodong Army still refused to let him go, and gathered more than 100,000 troops to go north to the grassland, and suddenly forced the Murong tribe into a desperate situation.

The war was gradually coming to an end, and there were fewer and fewer Xianbei people around Murong Hao, and Murong Hao, who was surrounded by his subordinates, was no longer willing to hide. At this point, his brother is dead, and the tribe is buried here, even if he is lucky enough to survive?

At the last moment, Murong Hao brandished a big knife and rushed towards the Liaodong army on the opposite side, shouting as he rushed: "Murong Hao is here, who dares to fight me to the death!" ”

Murong Hao's big sword was slashed and danced, listening to the whistling sound in his ears, he had already put life and death aside, galloping on the grassland, he seemed to think of the scene of Xianbei Iron Riding across the Central Plains back then.

Duan Wenyang stepped forward and shouted at Murong Hao: "Murong Hao'er is already in the dead ground, so don't get off the horse and be bound quickly." ”

Hearing this, Murong Hao laughed loudly and said: "This is a long time ago, I put life and death aside, and if I can die on the battlefield today, it is not an insult to my Murong family's reputation." This single is here, who dares to step forward! ”

Duan Wenyang sighed slightly in his heart, and only a few rounds later, taking advantage of Murong Hao's exhaustion, he stabbed Murong Hao in the chest with a shot. Murong Hao, who had already had the will to die, showed a smile of relief on his face, his body gradually collapsed, and the last of the Xianbei people, Da Dan Yu, finally died.

With Tuoba Yulu and Murong Hao dying one after another, this super-large cavalry battle finally ended with the victory of the Liaodong Army.

However, although the Liaodong army won the victory, it also paid a huge number of casualties, and after the war, less than 20,000 of the 50,000 cavalry were still able to ride horses, and the rest were either killed on the battlefield or seriously injured and could no longer fight on horseback.

After the battle, Wei Shuo was panting and holding a long knife, looking at the messy battlefield, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Wen Qiao and Lu Chang came over with excitement on their faces and reported: "My lord, according to preliminary statistics, our army has eliminated more than 90,000 Hu Lu in this battle, of which more than 50,000 were killed on the spot, and nearly 30,000 were captured, and only a few thousand remnants escaped. It can be said that after this battle, Mo Nan Zhuhu no longer has to worry,"

"Well, it's very good, and it's not in vain that my Liaodong Army has suffered huge losses."

Wei Shuo made a preliminary estimate that the main force of Hu Lu was basically wiped out by him, although there were still tens of thousands of Hu cavalry in Monan, but they could no longer threaten Liaodong. It can be said that the current battle has basically changed the border defense in northeastern Liaoning, and Hulu will be devastated for at least a few decades after this blow.

"Alas, the losses of our army are not light, among them more than 20,000 people died in the battle alone, and nearly 10,000 people were wounded, and in the end, there were less than 20,000 left, and more than half of the troops were lost at once." Lu Chang said with some distress.

Wei Shuo endured the pain in his heart, and said helplessly: "In this battle, Hu Lu resisted desperately, so that our army suffered huge losses. But these sacrifices were worth it, and it was precisely because of their sacrifices that they were able to achieve great results in the total annihilation of the main forces of Hulu. ”

Then he pointed to the vast grassland around him and said fiercely: "This is the land that the soldiers exchanged their lives for, and whoever dares to give up is the enemy of the entire Liaodong Army." We must firmly grasp this grassland in the hands of Liaodong through means such as building cities, building roads, immigration, and trade. ”

"Isn't Guanzhong returning farmland to forest? Don't move all the extra population to Liaodong, and move all of them to the grassland. In addition, it is also possible to relocate some naturalized Hulu from all over Liaodong, so that Liaodong's control over the southern foot of Yinshan can be basically guaranteed. ”

"Next, the important task of rectifying the grassland on the dam will be handed over to Taizhen, and I will continue to go north with some soldiers and go deep into the northernmost part of the grassland on the dam - the Great Wall of the north branch of the eastern end of Yinshan Mountain."

"Huh? Wouldn't it be too dangerous to venture north? Wen Qiao said worriedly.

"It's too much, now that the Hulu is gone, where are there any big Huqi on the grassland? I took the four-compartment iron horse to the north to ensure safety, and don't forget, right now the right army Wei Xiong and Shao Yuniang are going deep into the Monan grassland, maybe at this time the Mo Nan Zhuhu has been pacified. ”

……

It didn't take long for the great victory of the grassland to spread all over the world like the wind, making all forces look sideways.

"In March, the main force of the Liaodong Army led by Da Sima Weishuo successfully recovered Shengle."

"In April, Liu Yao's division of the Liaodong Army has recovered the entire Hetao Plain, recovering the two cities of Wuyuan and Yunzhong."

"In May, Da Sima Weishuo beheaded Tuoba Yulu in the grassland formation on the dam, breaking 90,000 Hulu."

Listening to Kui An's reading of the incoming military report, Shi Le's face was gloomy, and the powerful Liaodong pressed on his heart like a mountain, making him a little breathless.

He raised his head and looked around at the staff and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, now that Liaodong is about to solve the northern threat, it will not be long before it will go south to Hebei and the Central Plains, and then our Xiangguo will bear the brunt." Once the country of Xiang is destroyed, we will die and have no place to be buried. In the face of the imminent threat from Liaodong, do you have a way to deal with it? ”

"Xuzhou!" While many of his staff were pondering, Zhang Bin suddenly proposed to attack Xuzhou.

"My lord, now my Xiangguo chassis is basically concentrated in Hebei and the Central Plains, and it is basically surrounded by Liaodong on several sides, and once a conflict breaks out between the two sides in the future, it is very likely that all places will be attacked at the same time. The only way to solve the current passive situation is to expand the living space of Xiangguo, so that we can have more room for maneuver. ”

"Maybe you will have questions, since you want to expand, why not fight Sizhou and Qingzhou, but choose Xuzhou?"

Zhang Bin asked himself and replied: "Xuzhou Zu Ti is an out-and-out hero, he will never sit back and watch Xiangguo attack Sizhou, Qingzhou and other places, that is to say, as long as we fight Sizhou and Qingzhou, we have to allocate some energy to prevent Xuzhou from interfering." ”

On the contrary, if Xiangguo used force against Xuzhou, Cao Wei, who had no ambitions, would definitely stand by and watch, while Li Ju's own strength was limited, and his support for Xuzhou was limited when the main force of the Liaodong Army was lonely. As for Jiang Zuo...... Hum! Wang Dun was afraid that he would have long wished that Zu Ti would die, and he would definitely prevent the imperial court from sending troops to rescue. ”

"For the lord, isn't it easy to deal with a lone Zu Ti? Taking the northern part of Xuzhou, the lord can also take advantage of the situation to go south to Huainan and control the entire Huainan land in his hands, so as to greatly expand the north-south depth of Xiangguo. ”

After listening to Zhang Bin's words, Shi Le immediately swept away the decline just now, immediately lifted the morale of the army, and planned to take advantage of the Liaodong Army to send troops to Pengcheng when it was moving north to the grassland.

……

In the second year of Taixing, at the end of May, the Liaodong Army marched north from Danhan Mountain all the way through the entire Bashang grassland to the northernmost line of the Great Wall.

Standing on the dilapidated Great Wall, Wei Shuo looked at the endless Monan grassland in the north and was ambitious, at the foot of the Great Wall was the county seat of Kangbao in the future, of course, it was just a grassland with abundant water and grass.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, this place was occupied by Donghu, Donghu was a strong northern ethnic group in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and in 279 BC it was broken by the Yan general Qin Kai, and retreated more than 1,000 miles to the north.

Subsequently, the Yan Kingdom built the Great Wall along the northern border and placed Shanggu County. The health insurance region belongs to.

Until the late Warring States period, the Xiongnu Maodun Shan defeated Donghu and marched eastward, and the Kangbao region was a Xiongnu nomadic land.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Gao Liu Bang's northern expedition failed, and he was forced to make peace with the Xiongnu and divide the border, which was under the jurisdiction of King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu.

Emperor Wu attacked the Xiongnu in the north, broke it, and Kangbao returned to the Han Dynasty.

In order to avoid the killing and plundering of the Xiongnu, Emperor Guangwu abandoned the northern border of Nuqi County, Shanggu County, more than 900 li, including the Kangbao region. More than 60,000 people from Shanggu and other counties lived in the east of Juyong and Hengshan. The Xiongnu Zuoxian Wang was able to move to Senei, and Kangbao County was restored to the Xiongnu.

From the Three Kingdoms to the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Kangbao region was the activity place and nomadic area of the Xianbei people. (To be continued.) )
