In the fourth year of Jian'an, in May 196 AD.

Zhao Yun took advantage of the main force of the Xiongnu to be diverted, personally led 800 cavalry to detour more than 2,000 miles, went south from Shuofang, attacked Meiji Shan Yuting in one fell swoop, and killed the Xiongnu nobles and families in Meiji City.

After the main army of the Xiongnu set out, almost all the remaining women and children in the old camp of Hetao were old and weak.

After the remaining 1,000 royal court iron guards were broken, how could those old and weak women and children be able to stop the wolf-like Xiliang cavalry.

In just three days, tens of thousands of heads in the old camp of the Huns rolled down, and 800 Xiliang cavalry killed them softly.

After the news reached Guluo City, the newly established Shan Yu Huchuquan of the Southern Huns vomited blood on the spot, and nearly 20,000 Hun cavalry were all blown up, and the old nest was copied.

If this happens, this battle can't be fought at all.

Hu Chuquan couldn't suppress it even if he wanted to, so he should fight back against the old camp of Meiji.

Gao Shun, who was invited to represent the army, would miss such a God-given opportunity, and led 4,000 Xiliang cavalry and Qianghu troops to take advantage of the situation to attack, break the Hun cavalry, and pursue nearly 500 miles in three days.

Hu Chuquan gathered troops and horses several times to fight to the death, but they were all broken, and led the remnants to retreat to Mobei.

As for women, children, cattle and sheep, where can they take care of these at this time.

Gao Shun led the army to pursue Meiji, and despite the dissuasion of Zhao Yun and Cheng Ying, he handed over the army to Zhao Yun and returned to Hedong immediately. It is already his limit to be able to do this step, and the overall situation has been decided, so how can he take charge of Zhao Yun again.

Zhao Yun sent Gao Shun away, did not stay for half a moment, and immediately led the army to continue to pursue the remnants of the Xiongnu in the north.

In June, Hu Chuquan regrouped his troops and horses in Wuyuan, intending to fight Zhao Yun to the death.

Zhao Yunqin led 5,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, 6,000 Qiang Hu cavalry to run hundreds of miles, and Manyi Valley once again broke the Huns, beheaded the southern Xiongnu single in Huchuquan, killed 3,000 enemies, captured nearly 10,000 enemies, can be described as a complete victory.

Since the Huchu Spring alone, the Xiongnu nobles such as the left and right Xian Wang, the left and right Guli Wang, the left and right generals, the left and right Dadu Lieutenants, and the left and right Dadanghu did not run away, and they were either killed or captured, and the Southern Xiongnu officially perished.

And these Huns, who surrendered, did not gain the right to be human beings.

Zhao Yun set a strategy when he went to the Central Plains according to Luo Zheng, and all the Xiongnu young men who were still able to work were reduced to slaves and sent to Tongguan, where they were treated as cattle envoys like the captured Qin Hu Qingzhuang.

It takes a lot of manpower to build Tongguan, and it's a pity that so many young people are killed.

Luo Zheng had discussed with Jia Xu when he went to the Central Plains, and only changed the previous strategy of slaughtering whenever Hu Lu was broken, and only killed those old, weak, sick and disabled who had no other use value except wasting food, and all the young and strong men were left behind, and they were reduced to slaves and sent to Tongguan as cattle envoys, so as to reduce the number of people who were requisitioned and reduce the burden of labor for the people under his rule.

These captives had no human rights, no freedom, and were not even as good as livestock.

The cattle still had some time to rest, but these alien captives could only sleep for two or three hours a day, and the rest of the time they had to work in heavy bodies, and as for the time to eat, it was completely negligible.

dared to riot, and immediately the heads were rolling and killing without mercy.

Many slaves were overwhelmed and died of exhaustion on the construction site.

Xu Huang, who was in charge of supervising the work, carried out Luo Zheng's orders to the end, and had no sympathy for these foreign captives who had the blood of the Han people on their hands, and as for those Tuntian soldiers, there was no reason to sympathize with these slaves.

When Tongguan was first built, many heavy body jobs were done by Tuntian soldiers.

Now that there are these alien slaves, a lot of gravity work has been done by these slaves, and they don't have to do it anymore, these tuntian soldiers are naturally very happy, and they desperately treat these slaves as cattle, and they deserve to die of exhaustion.

Luo Zheng and Jia Xu have already discussed, and in the future, they will level the nomadic tribe and not kill the prisoners.

These young men were the best laborers, and even if Tongguan was built, they could be allowed to engage in other heavy labor, such as building water conservancy, building bridges and paving roads, mining ore, and even cultivating wasteland.

With these slaves, the labor of the common people under his rule could be relieved.

The labor of the common people will be reduced, and it will naturally increase a few more acres of land, raise a few more pigs, and weave a few more cloths, so that the materials under the rule can be enriched more quickly, and play a huge role in restoring the vitality of Guanzhong.

One of the distinctive characteristics of nomads is that the proportion of the old, weak, sick and disabled in the ethnic group is relatively small. Because of the harsh living conditions and the shortage of food, the resources of nomadic herders are only skewed towards women, children and young adults.

The Han people pay attention to respecting the old and loving the young, and the elders are used for filial piety, and if they are hungry, they cannot let the elders go hungry.

The nomadic tribe is just the opposite, with food to take care of the children and can protect the tribe of the middle-aged men, once the food shortage is the first to starve to death is the old, weak, sick and disabled, so the proportion of the old, weak, sick and disabled in the nomadic tribe is quite small.

The Southern Xiongnu living in the Hetao area had more than 300,000 mouths, and it was the strongest among the Southern Xiongnu attached to the Han Dynasty.

Of the more than 300,000 people, less than 20% are old, weak, sick and disabled, and the rest are women, children and young people. Women and children are all property, and after the Hetao is completely pacified, they must wait for the lord to distribute it.

After Zhao Yun sent all the young men to Tongguan, he finally began to count the captured cattle, sheep and livestock.

There were too many cattle, sheep and livestock of the Huns, and in just ten days and a half months, they could not be counted at all.

In June, a big event happened in Xuzhou.

Cao Cao, with the help of the Xuzhou scholars, defeated Ji Ling's army south of Huaiyin, and Ji Ling's army retreated to Guangling, preparing to fight again, but was defeated again by Cao's army that pursued south, and lost all the baggage and grain.

Lian lost the battle, and the 30,000 soldiers had no fighting spirit, so Ji Ling had to lead the army to retreat to Jiangdu to rest.

Cao Cao got his wish and officially entered Xuzhou under the welcome of the Xuzhou scholars.

When Yuan Shu heard the report in Shouchun, he jumped angrily and scolded Cao Agui.

Cao Cao then took the stomach as the history of Xuzhou, and wantonly used the Xuzhou scholars to govern the place. After the situation stabilized, the class returned to Xuchang in early August, and by this time, Luo Zheng had also left the Central Plains and returned to Guanzhong.

It took more than four months for the Ganning Navy to finally transport more than 200,000 people to Guanzhong in batches.

Luo Zheng led the army into Shangdang and crossed the Tianjing Pass into Hedong, but did not go south to Guanzhong, but went north to Hetao.

When Cao Cao entered Xuzhou, Yuan Shao in the north was not idle.

In June, Yuan Shao personally raised an army of 50,000 to break through Zhuo County, all the way to the battle, but Gongsun Chan was defeated and retreated, and was driven into Jixian County by Yuan Shao at the end of July, leaving only 3,000 remnants of the defeated soldiers around him, and the general trend has gone.

Yuan Shao adopted Tian Feng's plan, besieged the city and sent reinforcements, and successively broke through Shanggu, Daijun, and Yuyang reinforcements, and besieged Jixian County.

At the same time, something big happened in Jingzhou.

Sun Jian occupied the four counties of Jiangdong for more than a year, and his rule gradually stabilized, seeing that the small princes in the north were about to be wiped out, leaving only a few powerful princes such as Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Luo Zheng, and felt the pressure urgent.

Yuan Shu was in a hurry, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and he couldn't swallow it.

After Sun Jian discussed with Xichang, he decided to take advantage of the fact that Liu Biao had just put down the Jingnan rebellion and the situation in the four counties of Jingnan had not yet completely stabilized, so as to take the opportunity to seize Liu Biao's four counties of Jingnan.

In May, Sun Jian instigated the Wuxi rebellion, and Wuling was in turmoil.

However, there are also capable people under Liu Biao's account, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue are all Jingxiang celebrities, very strategic, and immediately guessed that Sun Jian was making trouble behind his back, and offered Liu Biao a plan, asking Liu Bei to go to Wuling to quell the rebellion, and ordered Changsha to guard Han Xuan against Sun Jian.

Liu Biao followed his words, and immediately ordered Liu Bei, who could only practice the trilogy, to go to Wuling to quell the chaos.

Liu Bei has been very unsatisfactory recently, originally Liu Biao promised to give him a county, but after arriving in Jingzhou, he was squeezed out by the Jingzhou scholars, Liu Biao also prevented Liu Bei, after Liu Bei led the army to quell the rebellion in Jingzhou, Liu Biao recalled it to Xiangyang as a guest, which seemed to have an honorable status, but in fact it was idle and was raised as an idler.

However, Liu Bei did not get nothing, he was idle in Xiangyang for more than half a year, and he recruited a capable person.

This person's name is Xu Shu, the word Shiyuan, a native of Yingchuan Changshe, a good fencing ranger, and then avenged the people and wandered into the rivers and lakes, so he abandoned martial arts and learned strategy, and then took refuge in Jingzhou and settled in the northern suburbs of Xiangyang.

Liu Bei likes to make friends with talented people, when he went out to visit the head of the people, he met Xu Shu, and he was different from his talent under the conversation, so he sincerely accepted the invitation to join the army under the account, and recently often talked with Xu Shu at night, talking about the general trend of the world.

After learning that Liu Biao was going to let him go to Wuling to quell the chaos, and after returning from Liu Biao's mansion, Liu Bei has been worried.

Xu Shu said: "The lord doesn't have to worry, although Liu Biao has the name of the Eight Horses, he is really jealous and jealous, but he is just a dog's ear." This Wuxi rebellion is very likely to be committed by Sun Jian, if nothing else, Sun Jian will raise troops to attack Jingzhou. If the lord does not obey Liu Biao, he is afraid that he will not tolerate it, so he can only put down the Wuxi rebellion first, and then make a plan. ”

Liu Bei became more cheerful and said: "What Yuan Zhi said is extremely true, with Yuan Zhi as a plan, it will be much more reassuring to be prepared." ”

Xu Shu said again: "Sun Jianshi's hero, and he can fight well, his strategists are like rain, and his fierce generals are like clouds, and Liu Biao's mediocre generation is definitely not his opponent." If the four counties of Jingnan are lost, all the generals in Jingzhou are incompetent, and none of them can take on the big responsibility, if the lord can lead the army to meet Sun Jian's army, he can just get the military power of Jingzhou, so the opportunity will come. ”

Liu Bei nodded again and again when he heard this, his face was happy, "What Yuan Zhi said is very true, what he said is extremely true!" ”

After some more deliberation, the two men dispersed.

Liu Bei went to gather his troops and prepared to go to Wuling to quell the rebellion.

Sure enough, not long after Liu Bei's army left Xiangyang, news came from Changsha that Jiangdong Sun Jian, with the eldest son Sun Ce as the vanguard, personally led an army of 15,000 out of Yichun and entered Changsha, attacking the city and plundering the terrain unstoppable.

Within ten months, he went to Changsha County to govern Linxiang.

Changsha Taishou Han Xuan sent three 800-li urgent documents in one day, and Liu Biao urgently summoned his confidants to discuss with the civil and military, but before he decided whether to send troops to Changsha, the news that Linxiang had been broken had been sent to Xiangyang.

Liu Biao was shocked, and he didn't dare to hesitate anymore, so he sent his son Liu Pan to lead an army of 20,000 and captain Huang Zhong to meet Sun Jian's army. R1152
