In late March, the fields are already full of green, with green grass and wildflowers intertwined with various colors, which is a pleasing sight to behold.

The midday sun shone down, shining on the armor and weapons of tens of thousands of soldiers, shining with a chilling brilliance.

With the order of Yuan Mai, the assassin of Bingzhou, the army of Bingzhou began to crusade against the Southern Xiongnu who had been entrenched in Xihe County for ten years.

Cao Jun's vitality was damaged, and Zhang Yan of Montenegro was not there, so if he didn't take advantage of this time to purge the alien Hu people in Bingzhou, when would he wait?

Yuan Mai personally moved to the front line of Pingtao, supervised and led the armies of all walks of life to crusade against the Southern Xiongnu, striving to defeat the barbarians in one fell swoop, pacify Xihe County, control the entire Bingzhou intact in his hands, and liberate the land that had been enslaved by the Hu people for nearly ten years.

The soldiers went out of three ways, and Zhang Liao on the right led two thousand heavily armored tiger cavalry, three thousand light cavalry, and six thousand foot soldiers in the middle, out of Yangtou Mountain, and went straight to the stone of Xihe County. The middle road Koji Yi led the 3,000 light cavalry of the headquarters in front, followed by 6,000 foot soldiers, and the battle-hardened first battalion under his command also marched with the army.

The left route was led by Zhang He, 3,000 halberds led the way, and 7,000 elite troops were sent from Wu County, passing through Zhongyang, and killing the Xiongnu base camp from Lishi. The total number of people and horses in the three roads is 30,000, and almost the most elite troops in Bingzhou have gathered, and they are mighty and overwhelming.

In addition to the bright armor and sharp weapons. All three people are equipped with the most advanced thunderbolts, all of which are about 100 of them, and after the improvement of Ma Jun, the range is longer, the frequency of throwing is faster, the weight of the projectile is heavier, and the power is greatly increased.

Yuan Mai personally commanded 10,000 troops to follow behind the three-way army, and Xu Shu, Zhuge Jin, Guo Huai, Zhu Ao, Zhou Cang, etc. all accompanied the army; Ordered Wang Shuang to lead the expanded two thousand white feathers to ride in front of the sentinel, and meet the three people at any time.

This time to fight the Huns, there is no conspiracy to talk about. I don't do anything to join forces. There are only two words "hard hit"!

To fight hard is to beat hard, to fight to the death, to fight desperately to the death, to beat the Huns to fear. Crippled. Fight with fear. I don't dare to go wild on the land of the Han people anymore, it's better than anything else!

Two days later, all walks of life had approached the base camp of the Xiongnu.

There is an advantage to fighting the Huns. did not siege the city like the warlords who attacked the Han Chinese, which avoided a large number of casualties; Because the Huns would not be entrenched in the city like the princes of all walks of life, but set up tents and settled on the grassland.

The moat has long since dried up, and the city gate has been mottled and decayed by the rain, and it seems that it only takes a few large stones to fall down to make the door panel fall apart.

"Boom"

"Boom"

"Boom"

Seeing nearly 10,000 Hun cavalry charging on horseback, Zhang Liao gave an order, and nearly 100 thunderbolt chariots were launched at the same time, and the big stones with the sound of the wind roared into the Hun cavalry......

In an instant, the sound of people shouting and neighing horses was endless, and the charging Hun cavalry was smashed by huge stones, and hundreds of knights were smashed off their horses, or were smashed by boulders and their flesh and blood were blurred, or they were trampled into meat cakes by the hooves of their companions after falling from their horses......

"Charge the whole army!"

Zhang Liao took the lead, brandishing a big knife and rushing into the Huns' formation, like a lion rushing into a flock of sheep, invincible everywhere he went, and the blockers dismounted one after another, and in an instant, he cut down dozens of horses, but he was unscathed.

Zhang Liao was followed by two thousand heavily armed tiger horsemen, although their riding skills were slightly inferior to those of the Huns, but the halberds in their hands were sharper, and the armor on their horses was stronger......

After the two armies met, they began to kill each other, and the Han army's tiger and heavy armored cavalry were obviously superior, and the Hun cavalry could not stop it, and began to show a trend of retreat.

At this time, the pikemen, hook and sickle soldiers, and shield soldiers behind the tiger rider lined up, and the spears stabbed the knights on the horses, and the hooks and sickles harvested the horse's legs.

After a bloody battle, Zhang Liao's right army easily defeated the 15,000 Huns who came to intercept, killed more than 4,000 Huns, captured 2,000 horses, and won a complete victory. The soldiers pointed straight at the stone, and the distance was no more than ten miles.

Just when Zhang Liao on the right broke the Huns, Lu Yi in the middle and Zhang He on the left also fell into hand-to-hand combat with the Huns. The territory of Xihe was full of killing for a while, and the beacon fire was in the sky.

With the power of the thunderbolt, coupled with the help of elite teams such as "First Arrival Camp" and "Euphorbia", the process of winning the two groups was no different from Zhang Liao. After two white-knuckle battles, they each beheaded more than 3,000 Huns, captured more than 4,000 war horses, and then marched at full speed towards the Xihe Zhizhi Lishi.

"The state army is too strong to compete with it, so withdraw quickly!"

After seeing the situation clearly, I knew that the Bingzhou army was going all out this time, and the combat effectiveness of this Bingzhou army was not at all a grade compared to the previous high-level commanders.

The unwilling Xiongnu could only order a retreat, leaving behind tents, cattle and sheep, and some horses, and retreating to the west.

In the mountains and wilderness, there were Huns fleeing in panic everywhere, and they were followed and pursued by Zhang Liao and Zhang He's cavalry, and they were driven out of more than 200 miles, and they returned with more than 6,000 heads.

After this battle, the Southern Xiongnu were completely expelled from the territory of the state and rushed to the distant Qiang land, where they could only compete with the Qiang people for territory, and never dared to step into the state again.

After several battles, more than 20,000 Xiongnu were killed, and nearly 100,000 enslaved Han people were rescued. In addition, nearly 10,000 horses were captured, which doubled the number of Bingzhou iron cavalry under Yuan Mai's command, reaching more than 20,000 people.

Xihe was pacified, and Yuan Mai personally entered Lishi to reward the three armies and appease the people.

Looking at the dilapidated stone walls. The people who were enslaved, unclothed, and hungry, Yuan Mai was full of emotion. He ordered tens of thousands of stone military rations to be distributed to relieve the people, and ordered Liang Xi in Hanoi to come to Xihe to serve as a taishou and govern the place.

The 100,000 people enslaved by the Xiongnu came from all over Henan and Bingzhou, and most of them were already ruined and helpless. Yuan Mai encouraged them to stay and reclaim the land, and the government provided them with grain, seeds, cattle, farming tools, and other supplies. It was also stipulated that all the grain harvested in the previous three years should go to the people. You don't have to pay a grain of grain. Wait for three years before collecting a meager grain tax.

The people had no homes, so the government paid for the bricks and tiles to build houses for the people, so that the people could live for free, and wait for the livestock fed by the people to grow up. It was sold again to repay the government.

Most of these people's families are fragmented. The man may lose his wife. Women may lose their husbands, people's hearts are panicked, and disorderly.

Yuan Mai also strongly advocated intermarriage between men and women. Those who form a family are rewarded with a pig; It also stipulates that each family must adopt a minor who is orphaned and undependent, so that the land tax can be reduced for two more years. As for the elderly, they had already been slaughtered by the Huns, and these murderous Hu people would not feed the old and frail, they kept slaves, not charities.

After the implementation of these policies, the devastated Xihe River, which had been destroyed by the Huns, was initially restored to life. Men and women each chose their favorite matches, registered them in government documents to form families, and then received grain and livestock, and began to sow seeds in the wild.

Within a few days, Liang Xi led 100 soldiers from Hanoi to take over the administration of Xihe, registering and making records for each household, recruiting craftsmen, building houses, building walls, and digging moats.

In the spring, the West River is a busy scene, with smiling people, men and women scattered in the fields to plow the land and sow seeds; The craftsmen in the stone city shouted trumpets, naked and sturdy upper bodies, and were busy sweating profusely.

In order to support the construction of the West River, Yuan Mai left Ma Jun to assist Liang Xi, and asked him to invent some farm tools as much as possible to improve the cultivation efficiency of the people. Using ingenuity, many valuable tools were created, which greatly improved the work efficiency of the people and craftsmen.

Yuan Mai took the guards to inspect the fields, and noticed that the plough used by the people to plough the land was straight or long, and it was very laborious to cultivate, and it was necessary to untie the oxen when turning, and then two or three people carried the plough to turn the plow back, and then turned the ground backwards.

A lot of time and energy is wasted just by plowing the oxen and playing with the plow, but if we can find a way to make a short and convenient plow, it will definitely greatly improve the efficiency of the people's farming.

With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Yuan Mai suddenly thought of Quyuan Plow.

This is the basic common sense that is popularized in junior high school history textbooks, and you don't need much culture to know this basic common sense. It's easy to say it, but it's never a simple thing to really want to make it, fortunately, Yuan Mai has Ma Jun, a manufacturing genius, by his side!

With horses and horses, everything becomes twice as effective with half the effort.

Yuan Mai just said the general idea and principle of the curved plow: "Deheng, you see this curved plow is improved in this way, first of all, the straight wheel, the long wheel is changed to the curved wheel, the short wheel, and then the head of the wheel can be installed can rotate freely plow plate, so that not only make the plow frame smaller and lighter, but also easy to turn around and turn, flexible operation, save manpower and animal power, what do you think, can it be set up?" ”

Yuan Mai was holding a pen and ink and gesturing on the paper, looking like he was in trouble, in fact, even he didn't know very well, just pretending to be based on his own half-understanding.

Although the "master" does not understand, the apprentice is naturally smart.

After listening to Yuan Mai's idea, Ma Jun slapped his thigh and couldn't help but praise repeatedly: "Oops...... It's really a whimsical idea, a stroke of genius, the lord's talent in creating new items is really not comparable to Ma Jun; There is a thunderbolt in front and a curved plough in the back, and the lord is the real genius! ”

Since Yuan Shao fell unconscious, the Bingzhou Legion has basically entered a state of complete independence from a semi-independent state, and there have been very few correspondence with Yecheng. Personnel appointments and dismissals, troop requisitions, and strategic decisions were all made by Yuan Mai and his staff, and they basically had nothing to do with Yecheng.

Therefore, all the civil and military personnel of Bingzhou changed their words to call Yuan Mai "Lord Gong", although it was only a change of title, but it marked that the Bingzhou Legion entered a completely independent state from a semi-independent state.

After becoming self-reliant, Yuan Mai accepted the advice of Tian Feng, Xu Shu and others, and changed his title from the history of the state to the pastor of the state. In this era, most princes did this.

Ma Jun took the drawings drawn by Yuan Mai, which even he was confused about, pondered for a few nights, and really made a convenient and lightweight quyuan plow, which greatly improved the efficiency of farmers' cultivation and greatly improved the efficiency of land reclamation in Xihe.

The people praised the new type of plough invented by the state shepherd, admired the five-body plow, called it "Yuan Gong plow", and was recorded in the history books by the historian of the state, and the name went down in history.

The dilapidated Lishi City could only accommodate 40,000 residents, so Liang Xi moved the remaining 60,000 or 70,000 people to settle in several dilapidated county towns such as Shilou, Lingshi, and Wuxian. He also appointed a new prefectural order, and then adopted the same policy as Lishi, repairing the city walls, building thatched huts, and instructing the people to cultivate in the wilderness and become self-reliant.

Liang Xi not only encouraged farming, but also relaxed commercial taxes, exempting merchants from all over the country from taxes and sending troops to escort them along the way; This caused merchants from all over the country to pour into the territory of Xihe, and also brought some wanderers, and even many Yellow Turban people on Taihang Mountain also came to settle in Xihe, which increased the number of people in Xihe by 40,000 or 50,000 in a short period of time, and became a county town that began to take shape.

Seeing that Xihe gradually took shape, Yuan Mai was very pleased. Leaving 10,000 soldiers in Shitun to prevent the Huns from coming back; Then he led the men and horses who had rested for twenty days to the east to kill Ben Taihang Mountain.

The soldiers were still divided into three routes, Zhang Liao in the center, Zhang He on the right, and Guo Huai on the left, with 30,000 people on each road, advancing towards Taihang Mountain with the help of thunderbolts. Hearing that Yuan Mai was going to conquer the Black Mountain thieves on a large scale, Tian Yu was from Dingxiang, and the Shangdang sent troops to help, and the five roads began to sweep on the Taihang Mountain.

The Montenegrin army lost more than half of its men and horses in the Battle of Dingxiang, and only 50,000 or 60,000 were left at this time. In the face of officers and soldiers with similar strength, they lost the advantage of winning by Yiduo, and lost successive battles. He was chased to the mountains by officers and soldiers, set on fire, and the nest ceased to exist.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, Zhang Yan led 20,000 remnants of the defeated army to retreat south, and took advantage of the confrontation between Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan, crossed Jizhou, crossed the Yellow River, and fled to Xuchang to join Cao Cao.

After Zhang Yan fled, the five or six hundred thousand old and weak women and children who fell on the grass on the Taihang Mountain were all driven down from the mountain, and Yuan Mai sent people to select 30,000 strong people to enrich their strength. The remaining old and weak women and children were divided into the three counties of Xihe, Dingxiang and Yanmen, and farm tools, seeds, and ploughing cattle were still distributed like Xihe, so that they could reclaim the barren slopes and turn the fields into fields.

After two months of expeditions to the east and west, Yuan Maixi broke the Xiongnu and chased Montenegro to the north, eliminating the two major hidden dangers of annexing the state. And the number of people under his rule was expanded to 2.6 million, making it the first of all states.

The soldiers and horses under his command are also unprecedentedly strong, with 6,000 heavy cavalry, 18,000 light cavalry, 100,000 infantry soldiers, and 10,000 naval troops; Fierce soldiers and horses, ready to go, all the princes of the world are looking sideways, and the northern overlord is about to come out.
