Chapter 203: Ding Sanyi
The battle on the south bank of the Oujiang River made the Han army famous, and more than ten tribes of the Sanyi tribe were shocked.
Yang Zilu immediately made a decision, and immediately hurried the generals to cross the river to discuss the matter.
"Congratulations on the Lord's great victory!" As soon as the generals met, they immediately smiled and congratulated Yang Zilu.
"Get up!" Yang Zilu couldn't hide the joy on his face, raised his arm, and spoke.
"Thank you, Lord!" The generals responded in unison.
As soon as the words fell, the black bear jumped out and said angrily, "Lord! This time it's really hateful, you didn't take me across the river together! The next battle must be led by me! Otherwise, I'll hang up my crown and leave! ”
When Yang Zilu heard this, he scolded with a smile: "You know how to rush and fight, I dare to let you follow!" ”
After a pause, Yang Zilu put away the smile on his face and said, "Okay! Now I'm ready to divide my troops! The soldiers were very fast, and the other tribes of the Sanyi tribe were caught off guard! ”
The others couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, saying that the Han army did not have an advantage over the Sanyi tribe in terms of strength, and it stands to reason that it is better to concentrate forces.
Yu Miao hesitated: "Lord, are you too impatient?" ”
"No!" Yang Zilu said firmly: "At this time, it is not the strength but the time that determines the victory!" Although we divided our troops, the 10,000 people of the Sanyi tribe were divided into more than ten tribes. On average, there are only seven or eight hundred people in a tribe. And the big tribe in the Sanyi tribe is only a little more than a thousand people. Our troops are divided into four ways, as long as the speed is fast enough, completely form a part to fight more and smaller. By the time the Sanyi clan reacted, they could only sadly find that they were already at a disadvantage in terms of strength! ”
Hearing this, the black bear nodded and said, "Lord, what you said is right, listening to what you say, what is really going on!" ”
Hou Xiong came out and said: "Lord, there is another problem here, according to what the Lord said, I am afraid that the plan made before may not be able to keep up with the changes!" It hasn't snowed yet. The remnants of the Sanyi clan can completely escape into the mountains! ”
"I'll leave this matter to Yang Tugou!" Yang Zilu looked sideways at Yang Tugou, who had been standing on the side and had not spoken, and said, "Although it is not snowing now, you take the cavalry and delivery vehicles to make a detour to block the road in the mountains." ”
"No! Please rest assured, the Lord will not let anyone go into the mountain! Yang Tugou said with a grin. It's not that Yang Tugou is arrogant, but that he has this confidence. Including the captures on the battlefield today, now the Han army has a hundred military vehicles. And don't look at it, with a hundred military vehicles and a hundred horsemen, it is very difficult to hold the road.
It is very difficult to carve out a road in the mountains, so there are not many roads in the mountains, but there are many trails. But even the Baiyue people who live in the mountains all year round may not be able to tell where this road leads to it, and it is not strange that they can even get lost in the mountains while walking, and the soul disappears into the dense forest.
In addition, those powerful people must have dragged their families and their belongings when they ran away. It is completely impossible to walk the trail, so the easiest task in this battle is Yang Tugou, and the people caught are basically big fish, and there is a lot of credit. The eyes of the others looking at Yang Tugou were basically either jealous or envious.
Yang Zilu next assigned a task, and Yang Zilu asked Yu Miao to lead the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to clean up the battlefield and clean up the tribes along the Oujiang River that had been disabled by Yang Zilu. Black Bear and Han Jiading led the soldiers and horses to set off on the left and right and swept through the Sanyi tribe. Yang Zilu led Yang Tugou's brigade to connect with the war elephants and take the middle road.
The facts were similar to what Yang Zilu expected, the Sanyi tribe did not expect that the war would be defeated, and the Han army encountered reinforcements from the Sanyi tribe who rushed to Oujiang to support in a hurry along the way. There are many or few of these reinforcements, the few are only two or three hundred, just the vanguard troops, and the follow-up soldiers and horses are still sorting out the autumn harvest in the tribe. There were only seven or eight hundred people, and they were all in a hurry all the way, quite tired. The Han army easily routed them, and the Han army did not pursue, but went straight to the walled cities where the tribes along the way were.
After taking control of their families, the defeated army also had to join the Han army. For these captives, whether they were defeated or surrendered, soldiers were forcibly recruited according to the method formulated by Yang Zilu before, according to the ratio of 5 out of 10. Then take the lead with these soldiers to keep the main force of the Han army from suffering too many losses.
In just five days, the Han army had swept away all the tribes south of the Oujiang River, and none of the powerful chieftains of the Sanyi tribe were lost, and they were all captured or beheaded by Yang Tugou. After experiencing this war, Yang Zilu took advantage of the destruction of the old order and took advantage of the situation to establish the order of faith. The thirteen tribes on the south bank of the Ou River were combined into one county, Jian'an County, with seven villages and towns under its jurisdiction.
In order to appease people's hearts, Yang Zilu also distributed fields according to the number of households in Dingkou, and for every 50 acres of land, women could get 30 acres. If you get a family, you will get ten acres more. There are already children in the family, and each additional child gets an extra ten acres.
Yang Zilu also stipulated that in the future, except for the eldest son who can inherit the family business, everyone who can inherit the family business can get 40 acres of land, and women can get 30 acres. If you start a family, the government will reward you with 10 acres of land at a time, and 5 acres of land for each child you get. to encourage population growth.
Yang Zilu's order immediately won the hearts of the people of the Sanyi tribe. Although the name of the Sanyi tribe is barbarian, in fact, his level of civilization is not very poor. In terms of lifestyle, it is already a completely agricultural life, rather than fishing and hunting like the Shanyue people, at most it is to cultivate a little field and occasionally taste the taste of grains.
The Sanyi tribe's thirst for land was no worse than that of the peasants of the Central Plains, and Yang Zilu relocated almost all of the Sanyi elites to Juyi, making them a village of their own. It also prevented these powerful people from becoming dissatisfied after losing power, and trying to incite the clansmen to rebel after the main force of the Han army left. As for the fact that they were familiar with the road and wanted to return to the Sanyi clan to incite the clan to rebel, Yang Zilu was confident that by that time, the Sanyi clansmen's sense of identity with them had completely surpassed that of the old chieftains and nobles.
Yang Zilu appointed Yu Miao to manage Jian'an County, and transferred Kan Pingtian to build a city on the north bank of the Oujiang River, named Ouyi, and set up Ouyi County with this city as the center.
However, what made him strange was that after Yang Zilu returned to Dong'an City with his troops, he disbanded the soldiers recruited in the original Sanyi tribe, the soldiers of the affiliated tribes, and the volunteers among the Shanyue people. But he did not return to Jiukui City, but stayed in Dong'an City.
