As the Jin army gradually surrounded Yangle, the pressure on the Xianbei people in the city became more and more great, and many Xianbei people sneaked out of the city and tried to escape far away, but they were all killed by the Jin cavalry.

After some consideration, Duan Mobo finally decided to surrender to the Jin army. When he announced the news to the outside world, a small number of Xianbei people who were afraid of the Jin people's revenge chose to commit suicide in despair. Most of the Xianbei people breathed a sigh of relief, they had been suppressed by the Jin army a little breathless recently.

"Da Danyu, your choice is extremely wise!"

Shao Yuniang, who was in charge of the operation of the Western Route Army, held back the joy in her heart, looked at Duan Mobo with a haggard face and smiled. The surrender of more than 20,000 Xianbei people is bound to reduce some casualties for the Jin army.

Now in western Liaoning, there are nearly 100,000 Duan clan people, and how to settle the surrendered Xianbei people has become the most important work of the Western Route Army.

"General Shao, can you guarantee the safety of my people?"

After surrendering, Duan Mobo was most worried about his people, he knew that once the Xianbei people put down the weapons in their hands, they would become lambs to the slaughter and had no power to fight back, if the Jin army rebelled, then the clansmen who surrendered with him would die.

Shao Yuniang replied meaningfully: "Don't worry, my lord has already explained, and all of you will enjoy the 'deserved' treatment!" ”

According to the benefits of Duan, in addition to paying the price for the Yishui tragedy, all the nobles, leaders, elders, and leaders will lose their lives for this, and their wives and daughters will all be sent to Fengyue to have fun.

At the same time, in order to appease Duan Wenyang and punish all the culprits, the remaining ordinary Xianbei people will all be transformed and live as a Jin person from now on.

With Duan Mobo ordering the surrender, the Jin army began to enter Yangle, and the Xianbei people handed over their weapons in batches under the custody of the Jin army. In the process of disarming. Except for a few stubborn people who resisted stubbornly, most of the Xianbei people did not act excessively as if they had accepted their fate.

For ordinary Xianbei people, it is undoubtedly the best to be able to continue to live, and they all know that Duan Wenyang is now a senior general in Liaodong, and Duan Wenyang will always have some scruples when dealing with ordinary Xianbei people in Liaodong.

Duan Mobo's surrender marked the rapid end of the battlefield in western Liaoning. After this battle. Most of the entire Liaoxi County was destroyed, and the nearly 200,000 Xianbei people who were before the war are now only more than 100,000, and almost tens of thousands of people died in the war.

"General, Duan Mobo has surrendered, indicating that Liaoxi County has been recovered by our army, hurry up and report to Gao Changshi in the rear! Let him tell the Lord the good news! ”

A soldier excitedly urged Shao Yuniang to recover Liaoxi and destroy the Duan clan, no matter how you say it, it is a great achievement. In addition, Gao Zhan, Liu Han, and Gao Xu also need to send people to receive Liaoxi. So that the army could free up their hands to go north to Changli.

Gao Zhan and Liu Han, who were sitting in Jicheng, were very happy after receiving the good news from the front, and they quickly sent officials to Liaoxi to receive them, and at the same time, in order to let the Western Route Army go north as soon as possible, Gao Zhan also personally went to Liaoxi to replace Shao Yuniang to deal with post-war affairs.

……

The Jin army broke the Hu people again!

Shao Yuniang led 50,000 troops to break the 40,000 Duan cavalry in western Liaoning, and captured a large number of Duan generals such as Duan Mobo, Duan Caidu, and Duan Liao, and the news shook the world!

After the good news of Liaoxi's recovery reached Xiangping, the whole city once again became a sea of joy. Although over the years, the Jin people in Liaodong have become accustomed to the frequent successes of the Jin army. Still causing a round of jubilation.

"Lord, this is the battle report that Gao Changshi sent back from Jicheng. Now the entire Liaoxi County is in the hands of the Jin army. Among them, the Duan clan has descended, and Duan Mobo and Duan Qidu are on their way to Xiangping. Its tribal nobles and chieftains have been controlled by the Jin army. Besides. The Xianbei people in western Liaoning have been swept away, and those who are old, weak, sick and disabled and unable to do anything have all been disposed of. ”

Lu Chang handed Wei Shuo the Chinese document in his hand, and told him the results of the Western Route Army with excitement on his face.

"Great! Jing Qian really lived up to my trust in him, and finally cleaned up the Xianbei people in Liaoxi. But then is the real test, Murong Diao is not dead. The mighty Murong tribe is still entrenched in our land. If the Murong tribe is not wiped out, the entire Northeast will never be stabilized. ”

Wei Shuo naturally wanted to deal with the enemy in front of him as soon as possible, but he also knew that this matter was urgent. The Western Route Army was exhausted after a series of battles and was temporarily unable to go north. The Xianbei people on the opposite side learned that the Duan clan had been destroyed, but Wei Shuo was not in a hurry to cross the river to start a war. It is very likely that Murong Diao will flee to the prairie.

"Before the Western Route Army arrives, we can only rely on ourselves to defeat the Xianbei people on the opposite side!"

"The lord is right, now with the demise of the Duan clan, the Youzhou army can continue to pour into Changli through Linyu Town. If Murong Diao doesn't want to be attacked on both sides, he must fight me as soon as possible. In order to satisfy Murong Diao's wishes, we need to speed up the pace of crossing the river! ”

"Well, Masayuki, how's the pontoon erected?"

"It's going well, it will be completed in another day, and once the pontoon bridge is erected, our army can quickly cross the Liao River!"

"In order to ensure the smooth crossing of the river, we need to build at least five pontoon bridges!"

While the Jin army used boats, rafts and other tools to cross the river, Wei Shuo also sent heavy troops to erect pontoon bridges over the Liao River. The history of building pontoon bridges in ancient China is very long, and at the beginning, pontoon bridges were rare things, only the Son of Heaven could use them, and they had to be dismantled immediately after use.

This situation lasted until the Warring States period, when the pontoon bridge was gradually become a very common object and was frequently used in military operations.

It is difficult to count the pontoon bridges that have been built over thousands of years. In many areas, pontoon bridges are built before permanent bridges are built, so that they can explore and understand the water conditions, and then seek a suitable permanent bridge type, such as the aforementioned Luoyang Bridge. According to rough statistics, nearly 20 large pontoon bridges have been erected on the Yangtze River and the Yellow River alone, most of which are military pontoon bridges.

The pontoon bridge to be built by the Liaodong Army is to take the boat as the load, lay a raft on it, and connect it with strong rattan ropes and rivets, there are no guardrails on both sides, the entire bridge deck is about two zhang wide, and about seven people can walk side by side. However, in order to ensure that the pontoon bridge is not crushed, there must be a certain interval between the platoons when crossing the river, and the war horses cannot rush up when crossing the river.

"Lord, do you need to block the news of the victory in Liaoxi?"

"No, in fact, if you want to block it, you can't block it, and it won't be long before Murong Diao receives an urgent report from Great Thorn City!"

……

"Duan Mobo surrendered?"

"Yes, surrender!"

The news of Duan Mobo's surrender soon spread from Youzhou to all directions, and this news completely stirred up the situation in various places. Even Shi Le didn't expect that the Duan clan Xianbei, who had once forced him into an embarrassment, would be wiped out by Liaodong Weishuo in three times and five by two.

"Liaodong's strength is a bit beyond my expectations, I thought that the battle between the two sides would last for several months, but I didn't expect that the Duan clan would not even be able to hold out for half a month. Without the help of the Duan clan now, Changli Murong Diao would not be Wei Shuo's opponent, I think Xiangguo needs to make plans early. ”

"Yes, once Liaodong is relieved of its worries, it will definitely point its troops to Hebei! Lord, no matter what, we have to speed up the pace of smoothing Hebei! ”

Since the sudden rise of Liaodong, Shi Le and Zhang Bin have felt strong pressure from the north. Unlike the arrogant and ignorant Wang Jun, Wei Shuo has always been steady and steady, and his subordinates are full of talents, whether it is Pei Wei or Gao Zhan, their talents are not lost to Zhang Bin.

Coupled with the alliance of the Yu Dynasty, the Jin people regained the upper hand, and now the situation in Xiangguo is not very good. Surrounded by Liu Kun, Wei Shuo, and Shao Xu, no matter which side he attacks, he will inevitably be attacked by the other two. Fortunately, most of the powerful in Jizhou stood on the side of Shile, allowing him to occupy most of Jizhou justifiably, and his strength was much larger than before the attack on Jicheng.

Wei Shuo insisted on attacking Changli and Liaoxi regardless of the safety of the Son of Heaven in Guanzhong, which provoked a lot of anger from the whole state of the state, even Liu Kun was also dissatisfied, even if Wen Qiao defended Liaodong, Liu Kun could not be satisfied. In Liu Kun's view, nothing is more important than rescuing the Son of Heaven. (To be continued.) )
