When he woke up the next time, Xiao Ma only felt refreshed and energetic, and the fatigue that had been spent many days was swept away. After breakfast, and carefully discussed with Xu Bugu and others for more than an hour, Xiao Ma Ge ordered Meng Da and Ma Dai to gather all the more than 15,000 Xiongnu troops.

First of all, it was announced by Xu Bugu that King Zuoxian, Baima Tong, Tu Gehu, Yu Fuluo, Hu Han and others rebelled and attacked Shan Yu Qiangqu and the crime of sending troops to merge with the state, and under the suppression of the Xiliang army, the first evil has been ambushed. In order to improve the deterrent, Xiao Ma Ge also deliberately hung out the heads of the main Hu chiefs such as King Zuo Xian, Tu Gehu, and Hu Han.

These captives naturally knew about the defeat of the rebels, and after seeing the heads of Zuo Xianwang and others, they were still scratching, and when they saw that they were surrounded by Han troops armed with strong bows and crossbows, no one dared to make a move in more than 10,000 people.

Then Brother Xiao Ma also began to appear on the stage to brainwash, shouting: "All the Hun warriors, since the division of the Huns more than a hundred years ago, the Southern Huns have been dependent on my Han Dynasty, and the Son of Heaven has not waited for you, not only to give you the land of abundant water and grass to multiply, but also to provide you with sufficient salt, fine iron, cloth and other materials, otherwise how can you develop from more than 100,000 people to more than one million now?" ”

"But not only are you not grateful, but you also often harass the Han people on the border, and this time you took advantage of the civil strife in the Han Dynasty to rebel and send troops to attack the state, resulting in the destruction of lives and fires. At the invitation of the King of Subu, the Wuxi Liang Army led troops to quell the rebellion, and after several hard battles, they finally lived up to their expectations, not only defeating the rebels, but also killing the head of the anti-thieves on the spot! You are all rebels, and you should be punished by the Nine Clans! ”

There was an uproar below, many people were frightened and panicked, if these Han soldiers really made a move, they would only be slaughtered if they were unarmed.

Fortunately, at this time, Xu Bugu stood up and shouted: "Warriors, General Ma once said: Only the first evil will be punished, and the rest will not be killed!" Your life is worry-free, but capital crimes are inevitable, and living crimes are inevitable! Because of your rebellion, the vitality of our Huns was greatly damaged, and more than 100,000 strong men were killed in battle, and countless old and weak women and children died in the war, all of which were caused by your rebellion! ”

"Now the population of my southern Xiongnu has plummeted, and the number of strong men is less than half, Xianbei in the north, Wuheng in the northeast, and Qiang in the southwest have long coveted our land of abundant water and grass, and they will never let go of this opportunity in front of them, there will be strong soldiers in the near future, so this king decided to cooperate with the Xiliang army to deal with Xianbei and Wuheng, and it is also an opportunity for you to make meritorious service and atone for your sins!"

More than 10,000 people, you look at me, I look at you, not a single one expressed their position, obviously there is still a strong sense of resistance.

Brother Xiao Ma knew that it was his turn to perform, so he took two steps forward and shouted: "All the Hun soldiers, in advance, you will follow the man-made counterattack of King Zuo Xian, Baima Tong and other people to fight and merge the state, I am the official army of the Han Dynasty, and the two sides are hostile, and the general will naturally use all means!" But if we work together to deal with the Xianbei and Wuheng people, it will be different, we are friendly troops, and the generals will be very generous to the friendly army, not only to let you ride and shoot like the Xiliang army, but also burn and loot without scruples in the process of going out, Xianbei and Wuheng women can be snatched back as mother-in-law as long as you like them, and the generals will never interfere, and the looted materials and population can also be divided into half to you Huns."

With the coercion and temptation of Brother Xiaoma, there were many people who were tempted immediately, the Huns have always been full of wild surnames, and the surnames are brutal, almost all of them are keen on burning, killing, looting and violent criminals, and the Xianbei people and Wuheng people are also fighting all year round. Brother Xiaoma's words undoubtedly spoke to their hearts, in public and private, they have no reason to refuse, hatred is important, but survival is more important, this truth is common throughout the ages.

After the two finished speaking, they stood aside and watched coldly, letting more than 10,000 people coax around, and after making an appointment with a gong, the scene immediately quieted down, and Xu Bugu's face was solemn, and he stepped forward and said loudly: "That's it, after discussing with General Ma, this king decided to give you two choices, first, stay in the royal court and wait for incorporation, and resist Xianbei and Wuhuan together with the Han army, so that my Huns can recover as soon as possible." Second, go back to where you came from! This king and General Ma will never be embarrassed, and they will never shelter you in the future, and I hope you will find a place for yourself! ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience quietly dropped a needle, but no one was willing to leave, joke! As long as the brain is not broken, you know the consequences of leaving. Now the Xu Bu bone has the help of the Han army, has sat firmly in the position of Shan Yu, and now once he leaves, he is afraid that he will have no place in the Xiongnu steppe, and even the dog that lost his family is not as good.

Since no one resisted, the next thing was easy, according to the plan, the number of people was counted first, there were more than 15,000 people, and most of them were in the prime of life. Brother Xiao Ma has an attitude of excellence, and after many screenings, only more than 4,000 people have been recruited, but these people are elite people who can ride and shoot well, and they only need to be equipped with saddle pedals and practice for a while. Even if it is not as good as the Shenwei battalion, it is more than enough to deal with the cavalry of Xianbei and Wuheng who only know how to charge.

The remaining nearly 10,000 people were divided into three groups by Xu Bugu and handed over to his brother Tian Hukang and other henchmen to command, and after getting the consent of Xiao Ma, he returned the war horses and weapons to them, intending to rest for a few days and then let them go out of the village to collect the small remnants of the army that were scattered. Now that the vitality of the Huns has been damaged, they can't afford to raise too many troops for the time being, and 30,000 elite horsemen are already the limit.

As for the 4,000 Hun cavalry that were recruited, Xiao Ma Ge divided them into 4,000 teams and handed them over to Pang De, Meng Da, Wang Shuang, and Ma Xiu to lead them, and at the same time drew some people from his command to make up the number of 2,000. In this way, there are 8,000 of the four teams left in Wang**, and it is barely enough to equip all the saddle pedals and strong bows to these 8,000 people!

Now, Brother Xiao Ma plans to take the Xiongnu as a logistics base for himself, not only to raise war horses, but also as a place for military training, and the geographical location here is excellent, east of the state, west of Liangzhou, the south is adjacent to the Sili area, the army is difficult to go directly to the military fortress Tongguan.

For the Xianbei in the north and the Wuhuan Xiaoma in the northeast, they never intended to let them go, although these two nomads have a large territory, but the population is not too much, and they can't even catch up with the Southern Xiongnu.

Speaking of which, we must not waste a little pen and ink, briefly mention the history of Xianbei and Wuheng and the current relationship with the Han Dynasty.

The predecessor of Xianbei and Wuheng was called Donghu, and it was also a nomadic people in the northern grasslands. In the heyday of the Xiongnu in the Western Han Dynasty, these two ethnic groups were defeated and enslaved by Shan Yu Maodun, almost exterminated, and finally hid in the Great Xing'an Mountains, and the Heilongjiang area survived by hunting for a living.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were divided into two, the Southern Xiongnu were dependent on the Han Dynasty, and the Northern Xiongnu continued to be enemies of the Han Dynasty. In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu united with the Southern Xiongnu and other Eastern Hu to defeat the Northern Xiongnu, resulting in the Northern Xiongnu being forced to move westward on a large scale, and using the South Russian steppe as a base to wage war against the Roman Empire. The Northern Huns plagued Europe for hundreds of years and were one of the main reasons for the eventual demise of the Roman Empire.

The westward migration of the Northern Xiongnu gave Xianbei and Wuheng the opportunity to return to their homeland, and Xianbei occupied the land of the Northern Xiongnu, sheltering more than 100,000 remnants of the Northern Xiongnu and relying on the Eastern Han Dynasty to have a chance to breathe. Wuheng occupies the eastern and western Liaodong areas, mainly nomadic herding, hunting and handicrafts, and agriculture accounts for only a little.

After Emperor Guangwu, due to the introduction of fine iron into the northern grasslands, coupled with the fact that the Han people who fled in the past acted as the masterminds, the two tribes gradually became stronger, and often plundered the northern counties like the Southern Xiongnu, among which Xianbei was the most.

At that time, the policy of the Han Dynasty was to rely on Wuhuan, unite with the Southern Xiongnu, and jointly attack Xianbei. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty waged wars against Xianbei several times in his early years, although he failed to achieve brilliant results, but also limited the pace of development of Xianbei, coupled with the civil strife caused by the death of the Xianbei Ming lord Tan Shihuai, Xianbei has now a tendency to split.

As for Wuheng, also known as Karasuma, there was no big contradiction with the Eastern Han Dynasty, but this time Qiu Liju, the king of Wuheng, won over Zhang Chun of Youzhou, and Zhang Ju rebelled, obviously standing on the opposite side of the Han Dynasty, and indirectly gave Xiao Ma an excuse to use troops against him.

Besides, Brother Xiaoma, a traverser in later generations, will naturally not let these two clans slowly grow bigger, especially Xianbei! Because the absolute main force of Wuhu Chaohua is Xianbei. Now that the Southern Xiongnu have been pacified, Qiang Di is not to be afraid, and the last one is the Xiaoyue clan in the current Southern Xiongnu, which can be wiped out at the current Xiaoma brother!

To sum up, both public and private, Xiao Ma Ge must send troops to Xianbei and Wuheng, the purpose of which is not to annihilate them, but to hurt their vitality and make war money! With the pacification of the Southern Xiongnu, the secret of the saddle pedal will spread all over the world in three to five years.

Secondly, at this time, Xianbei and Wuheng were both mortal enemies of the Han Dynasty, and heavy damage to them could not only make a lot of war wealth, but also gain great fame. In troubled times, as long as the fame is big enough, those talents with a sense of national honor don't even need to be recruited, and they will raise themselves to vote, which is really a matter of fame and fortune, which is of great significance.

And Brother Xiao Ma also knew that these two clans had finally integrated into the Huaxia family and became a member, but now he didn't have the strength or time to do this time-consuming and laborious thing. The most direct way to integrate into these two ethnic groups is to cripple them first, which is much better than the five chaotic Chinese and Han people being crippled a hundred years later.

All right! Straight to the point. It took more than half a day to collect more than 15,000 Hun troops, and then Brother Xiao Ma rewarded him again. The soldiers of the Shenwei battalion and the logistics troops of Yang Yuan had a share, not only had livestock, five baht money and other material rewards, but also opened up intermarriage with the Xiongnu women, as long as both parties were willing, each Shenwei battalion soldier could choose a suitable family from the captured Xiongnu women.

Not only that, but the 6,000 Han slaves who made meritorious contributions to the royal court this time were also released from the status of prisoners, and they could also marry Xiongnu women, or rush to Tuntian, the land of Xiliang, or continue to stay in the Southern Xiongnu to graze, all voluntarily! At the same time, let the identity of Xu Bugu have been single, and the identity of the Xiongnu and Han people in the entire Southern Xiongnu steppe is equal, and they are all the people of the Han Dynasty, and there must be no more discrimination and oppression!

Although this order has little effect, but at least opened the initial national integration, as long as this development continues, sooner or later the Southern Xiongnu will be completely integrated into the Han Dynasty, of course, this requires the efforts of several generations, not something that Xiao Ma can do with his lips.
