A.D. 181, the third year of Han Guanghe, the beginning of August

In the battle of Shengle, the Northern Xinjiang Army annihilated 40,000 elite troops of the Southern Xiongnu with 100,000 iron cavalry.

In this battle, the Northern Xinjiang Army killed more than 19,000 Xiongnu troops, captured 18,600 people, and fled more than 3,000 people, and many southern Xiongnu leaders such as Qiangqu and Guduhou died in this battle, while the Northern Xinjiang Army killed more than 3,800 people and wounded more than 6,000 people.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Liu Tai rested in place for five days, until the beginning of August with the prisoners stationed in Shengle, because of the rout of the front line, the rear has no resistance, the Southern Xiongnu elders who stayed in Shengle accepted Liu Tai's surrender after some consultations, and gave up resistance.

The fall of Shengle represents the complete erasure of the Southern Xiongnu from the world map, although there are still thousands of deserters who have not been caught, but it is not a climate, but after accepting Shengle, Liu Tai rose a trace of anger, that is, Qiangqu's eldest son Yu Fuluo actually disappeared, this Yu Fuluo is the person Liu Tai has already set to kill, and he didn't want to be escaped by him, how can he not be angry?

After sending soldiers to guard the Xiongnu subordinates, Liu Tai summoned the generals to the king's tent to discuss matters.

"My lord, since the war between our army and the Southern Xiongnu, according to accurate statistics, our army has received a total of 158,000 households of the Southern Xiongnu, 486,000 mouths, millions of cattle and sheep, 350,000 elite war horses, 120,000 old and weak war horses, and gold and silver artifacts were destroyed by General Zhang's fire in the American royal court, so not many were seized." Guo Jia, who was a military advisor with the army, stood up and said to Liu Tai with the account book in his hand.

Because most of the Southern Xiongnu tribesmen have been ordered by Liu Tai to be sent to various parts of northern Xinjiang in batches to settle down, and break up the original tribal system of the Southern Xiongnu, so there will be so many horses, cattle and sheep left, of course, Liu Tai did not lose the Huns, most of the cattle, sheep and horses, Liu Tai used the market price to collect from the Southern Xiongnu.

Originally, the leaders of the Southern Xiongnu resolutely disagreed, and the leaders of the Southern Xiongnu thought that after Liu Tai was surrendered to the Southern Xiongnu, at most he would just move the Southern Xiongnu to the interior of the Great Wall, well, such as the Xihe generation where the Southern Xiongnu had settled.

But I don't think that Liu Tai actually disrupted all the Southern Xiongnu and sent them to various places in batches for sinicization, so how could the leaders of the Xiongnu agree, but now the weapons and armor in the hands of the Southern Xiongnu have been confiscated, and the cattle, sheep and horses are also under the guard of the Qinglin Army in Northern Xinjiang.

Liu Tai didn't care about the dissatisfaction with the Southern Xiongnu, for Liu Tai, it was already Liu Tai's grace to leave hundreds of thousands of people in the Southern Xiongnu a way to live, what else do you want? Could it be that he stupidly cut out a county of land and "fed" the Southern Xiongnu?

Liu Tai's rogue behavior, the leaders of the Southern Xiongnu are all extremely angry, but now the situation is stronger than people, one by one can only knock out their teeth and swallow in the stomach, and Liu Tai in order to prevent these Southern Xiongnu leaders from returning to their own tribes to make trouble, all of them were imprisoned in the regular army camp in northern Xinjiang, and the reputation is to treat these "nobles" of the Southern Xiongnu well.

"Good!!" Liu Tai nodded with satisfaction, stood up and said: "This battle is mostly based on the strength of the soldiers, and the order is to go down, reward the regular soldiers with a cow and a sheep each, and pay ten times the compensation to the dead soldiers." ”

"No, my lord!!" Guo Jia bowed slightly to Liu Tai to answer the order, and as soon as Liu Tai gave an order, he rewarded hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep, which can be described as a big deal, and the money and grain for the purchase of cattle and sheep in the hands of the Xiongnu Descending Department are all Kyushu Commercial Houses, that is, Guo Jia's hands.

"What is the movement of the Northern Xiongnu and Xianbei now?" After Guo Jia returned to his position, Liu Tai asked out loud.

"Lord, there is no movement in the Northern Huns, it should be deterred by the suspicious tactics of the drama military division, and they dare not move, but Xianbei is amazing, yesterday after settling in Shengle, Jia will be rewarded, Xianbei Wang Court has swept away the remnants of the Mobei Huns, and collected hundreds of thousands of people from the remnants of the Mobei Huns, and the strength has risen greatly!" Guo Jia said with a bitter face.

"What?" Liu Tai's face changed, in Liu Tai's memory, the remnants of Mobei were destroyed by Tanshi Huai, not thinking that after the death of Tanshi Huai, the remnants of the Xiongnu were still wiped out by Xianbei, but the problem is that now the political situation in Xianbei is turbulent, the central royal court swept away the remnants of the Xiongnu in a battle, and the strength of the Xiongnu tribes rose greatly after the surrender of the Xiongnu people, and the prestige of Helian also rose a lot at the same time, so that the situation in Xianbei will be temporarily stabilized.

"Who is leading this battle? Could it be that the remnants of the Huns are all waste? How could the entire tribe be wiped out so easily by Xianbei? A flash of anger flashed in Liu Tai's eyes, and he asked through gritted teeth.

Guo Jia shook his head, sighed and said: "Lord, our army has no source of intelligence at all in Mobei, this time Xianbei won in Mobei, Jia only knows that the person who commands the army is a member of the Xianbei royal family, and Jia doesn't know anything else." ”

"Members of the royal family?" Liu Tai's brows furrowed even tighter, he really couldn't imagine that there would be a figure comparable to Tanshi Huai in the Xianbei royal family, which was not good news.

"Yun Chang, you immediately return to Meiji to dispatch 100,000 infantry of the Qinglin Army, and 100,000 cavalry to be stationed in Shengle, responsible for the vigilance around Shengle." Liu Tai suddenly looked at Guan Yu and ordered, now that there is no good information, he can only take full precautions, after all, Liu Tai is not sure whether this "strange man" can see Xi Zhicai's suspicious plan.

"No!" Guan Yu stood up and found that Liu Tai's expression was heavy, and he didn't say anything, so he knelt down on one knee in front of Liu Tai to answer the order.

After Guo Jia waited for Guan Yu to leave, he stood up and said to Liu Taiyi: "Lord, what should the Southern Xiongnu people and those captives do in Shengle?" Do you want to be taken to the rear immediately? ”

Liu Tai sat on the throne of Qiangqu, and after thinking about it according to his temple, he nodded and said: "Divide 20,000 cavalry, escort the Southern Xiongnu tribesmen and captives directly to Shuofang, and hand them over to Fu Zhu to deal with, well, and order Xun Yu to recruit craftsmen and people in batches to come to Shengle, of course, the matter of population migration must also be prepared." ”

"My lord, the matter of relocating the people, in the opinion of Jia, should be postponed." Guo Jia frowned, and asked out loud with a worried look, Guo Jia has always been unsure about the migration of the people, because Guo Jia is very aware of the plot of the Han people's homesickness, even if Liu Tai gives more benefits, there are very few people who are afraid of the fate, after all, now that the land of Erzhou is gradually getting richer, few people lack food and clothing.

Looking at Guo Jia's worried look, Liu Tai shook his head with a wry smile, Liu Tai naturally didn't know what Guo Jia was worried about, but the problem was that Liu Tai didn't come up with any good solutions now.

"Well, let's temporarily relocate the Han herdsmen of the northern generation to this place, well, you can order the government offices in various parts of the two states to post notices, and all those who voluntarily come to Shengle and settle in the United States can give 20 cattle and sheep at a time, only the first 50,000 households can get it, and the later ones can only rent from the government." Liu Tai gritted his teeth, and sent out more than one million cattle and sheep at once, in order to be able to build a bridgehead in northern Xinjiang, Liu Tai can be described as bleeding profusely.

"No, lord, now the situation on the front line is not clear, Jia thinks, it is reasonable to see the situation clearly before discussing, the matter of relocating the people should be dealt with later, after all, no one is sure whether Xianbei will send troops, Xianbei is not as good as the Southern Xiongnu, now that the stalemate between the two tribes in Mobei has been resolved, troops can be transferred south at any time! And Shengle and Xianbei central royal court is only more than a thousand miles away, with Xianbei's strong cavalry mobile troops, within a few days can be soldiers in Shengle, when the people move to Shengle, will only be involved in the war, hope that the lord will think twice. Guo Jia heard Liu Tai's words, and after thinking deeply, he shook his head and said disapprovingly.

After listening to Guo Jia's explanation, Liu Tai nodded, indeed, the current situation is very unclear, if Xianbei sees through his suspicious plan and joins forces with the Northern Huns, Liu Tai will definitely not be able to eat and walk around, and may even be beaten back to the Great Wall, although the Qinglin Army has more than 300,000 present, but most of them are new soldiers, how can they resist the tiger and wolf army that Xianbei came with a big victory?

"Okay, then let's recruit the craftsmen and people of the Ministry of Industry first, and discuss the relocation of the people later, but do more propaganda among the people in Erzhou, and arouse the hearts of the people in Xinjiang. Liu Tai sat on the couch and said with a wave of his hand.

"No!!" Guo Jia gave up, and then left the big tent to tell Liu Tai to explain the matters.
