At dusk of the same day, Dian Wei led the 800 Tiger Battalion into the Baibo Chinese Army, killed the Baibo Qu Shuai Hu Cai, and after losing his command, the 100,000 Baibo Army retreated and fled to the north bank of the Fen River.

Zhang Liao ordered the army to pursue in an all-round way, until the north bank of the Fen River, it was already dark, so he camped and stationed, while guarding against the retreating Baibo army, while collecting and counting the captured Baibo soldiers.

In this battle, Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses suffered nearly 1,000 casualties, while Bai Bo's soldiers died more than 10,000 and captured nearly 30,000, which can be described as brilliant results.

In the early morning of the next day, Ji Ping and Lu Zhi crossed the river, and at the same time, Zhang Liao's army continued to march north, traveling more than 20 miles, and came to the old nest of the Baibo army, in front of the Baibo base.

Ji Ping looked at the stretching Baibo Base from afar, and couldn't help but be shocked, he had heard of the White Wave Base, but after all, he didn't see it with his own eyes, he didn't expect that the rogue Bai Bo Army had actually established such a large military base, which could be attacked and defended.

In February of the fifth year of Zhongping, that is, two years ago, Guo Tai, the remnant of the Yellow Turban, raised troops in the Baibo Valley in Hexi, and built a military base here, Baibo Fortress, which was also named.

Baibo Valley is not a valley, but a section of the Fenhe River Gorge that is not easy for thousands of years, when the avenue between Taiyuan and Hedong is to rush, Baibo Valley goes north along the east bank of the Fen River Qianli Trail, the Bird Mouse Valley until Pingyang and Taiyuan, and goes south along the west bank of the Fen River to Wenxi and Anyi in Hedong County.

And there is a high platform on the west bank of the Fen River in the Baibo Valley, with a radius of more than 20 miles, there is Gushu Mountain in the west, a deep ditch in the north, and the southeast is surrounded by the Fen River, and the Baibo Fortress is built on the platform.

Baibo Fortress is not a city, but with the help of ravines and high cliffs in the platform, dozens of large and small earthen castles have been built. It forms a large area of land, and there are many fertile fields in between. Enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.

To the south of the white wave that they faced, there were five earthen castles. The uneven distribution is spread out in a single line, and the five earthen castles echo each other, between them are either ravines, connected by earthen bridges, or fields, connected by rammed earth walls.

On top of the earthen castle, there are arrow towers everywhere, and the terrain is high, and the entire Baibo base occupies the strategic initiative in the east of the river. As a result, Anyi, the administrative office of Hedong County, lost contact and echo with the Pingyang counties in the north, and fell into a tail-end loss, but the Baibo army was able to rely on this Baibo base to attack Pingyang and even Taiyuan and other places in the north, and attack Anyi and other places in Hedong in the south.

And the Baibo army did the same, since the beginning of the army, to the north to invade Taiyuan, to the south to attack Anyi, to occupy Hexi County to the west, to the east to attack Shangdang County, in addition to Shangdang and Anyi, almost pulled out the city and fell into the ground. Invincible.

Historically, Shangdang County was not guarded by Xun You, and the Baibo Army united with the Southern Xiongnu in the Pingyang area, and passed Guò Shangdang and Dongyuan. After passing through Taihang Bacheng, they entered Hanoi County, and even some of their men and horses continued to attack Yanzhou East County all the way east. intended to join the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, but was ultimately defeated by Cao Cao. And Cao Cao relied on this battle to establish his prestige and became the Taishou of Dongjun. Start building up your strength.

However, Ji Ping's crossing, the guide zhì Xun Yu became the Shangdang Taishou, and firmly controlled the Baibo Army in the north of Hedong County and the land of Hedong Prefecture and Hexi, and it was difficult to expand to the east, and at the same time, under Ji Ping's intervention, Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao was not killed by Liu Dai, so not only the fate of the Baibo Army changed, but even Cao Cao's fate had also changed, and he could not sit on the position of Dongjun Taishou as in history.

The high and stretching Baibo Fortress was militarily easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it did not stop Ji Ping's pace of sweeping the northeast of the river.

When Zhang Yang led his troops south from Pingyang and besieged the northern part of Baibolei, in the face of the situation of the north-south attack, there was a conflict within Baibolei, and Qu Shuai Han Xian and Li Le attacked and killed the remnants of Qu Shuai Guo Zhong and Hu Cai, who insisted on stubborn resistance, and surrendered to Ji Ping with nearly 60,000 people.

This is also Ji Ping's plan for half a year, and after reading countless books, he understands that no matter how strong a fortress is, it can be easily broken from the inside.

In the Bai Bo army, it is not monolithic, especially after the death of the leader Guo Tai, several subordinate commanders have many differences, and after Ji Ping learned the situation from Yang Feng's mouth, he asked him to cooperate with Shi A, infiltrate Bai Bo Lei, and secretly win over and divide.

Moreover, Ji Pingming Shi A and others publicized the construction of the southern part of Hedong County, and even introduced the method of making steamed buns and other foods to Linfen and Pingyang counties.

Many of the policies implemented in the southern part of Hedong County, including taxation, schools, tuntian, household formation, and mutual assistance between the military and the people, all shocked some of the Baibo military commanders, and Ji Ping's policies were beneficial to the people, and the Baibo army was from a poor people's background, and they also strongly agreed with these policies.

However, after the bumper harvest in the autumn in the southeast of the river, those white wave troops were greatly warm.

Although the Bai Bo army was born as a peasant, it has become a habit of looting for many years, and it is those who have the heart to belong to it, and they also want to deter Ji Ping first, and grab some grain and grass by the way, so under the leadership of the main battle faction, the Bai Bo army launched an attack in winter, but was defeated by Zhang Liao.

So at this moment, Qu Shuai, who killed the main battle faction, and Han Xian and Li Le, the commanders of the Baibo Army who came to surrender, knelt in front of Ji Ping, who was expressionless, with some apprehension and remorse in their hearts, and there was still a big difference between surrendering voluntarily and surrendering in defeat.

They didn't know that every qiē was in Ji Ping's calculations.

Ji Ping's previous efforts to woo Han Xian and Li Le were not strong, after all, these Qu Shuai's subordinates were tens of thousands, and the military discipline was corrupt, if he took the initiative to surrender, Ji Ping would not be able to open the knife, and it would be easy to lose people's hearts, and these surrendered soldiers would become powder kegs, and it would be difficult to guarantee that nothing would happen one day.

Dealing with these robbers must first show the strength of deterrence, so he let Shi even let Shi A secretly instigate the Baibo army to attack, and let Zhang Liao give them a blow to deter these guys first, and then surrender and reorganize in the name of righteousness, so as to get twice the result with half the effort.

Ji Ping looked at Han Xian and Li Le, and sighed shamelessly: "The two Qu Shuai are loyal and have always had the heart of belonging, and I also treat them as Zhonglang Generals, and I don't want the two of them to attack Anyi with those ambitious traitors, which really makes me feel cold." ”

Han Xian hurriedly said: "That Hu Cai and Guo Zhong are powerful, and we have no choice but to follow, and I ask the lord to forgive me." ”

Li Le also hurriedly agreed.

Ji Ping didn't get to the bottom of it, and smiled: "Fortunately, the two Qu Shuai reined in the precipice, so far." The lieutenant general can't do it, so the two commanders will serve as captains first. ”

Han Xian and Li Le hurriedly saluted: "The last general will thank the lord." ”

Ji Ping nodded. He also said: "The 60,000 soldiers and horses led by the two were reorganized by Zhonglang Zhang Wenyuan, leaving only the elite. As many as there are, the rest will go back to farming. ”

Han Xian and Li Le's bodies trembled, although they had expected it, but they didn't expect Ji Ping to completely deprive them of their military rights, but they didn't dare to resist in the slightest, not to mention that they were in Ji Ping's army right now, it was the previous battle, Zhang Liao's 20,000 soldiers and horses were enough to make them frightened and dare not fight again.

Ji Ping looked at the two of them. Shen said: "Captain Han and Captain Li don't need to think about it, since they are attached, they are their own people, but presumably the two of them also know that the soldiers under this king have quite high qualifications for enlisting in the army, and the survival of the fittest, all armies are like this. ”

Han Xian and Li Le breathed a sigh of relief. Hurriedly thanked him gratefully.

Ji Ping looked at Lu Zhi on the side and ordered: "Captain Han and Captain Li are attached, and the entire Hedong County will be included under the rule of this king. The administrative decree of the southeast of the river reaches the whole county. ”

Lu Zhi replied.

Ji Ping looked at Han Xian and Li Le: "In the opinion of the two of you, is it difficult for this household to gather the people?" ”

Han Xian said happily: "I've been waiting for a long time. ”

All of them have some understanding of the policies implemented in the southern part of Hedong County in the past six months. Bai Bojun is a poor people, and he is extremely greedy for the preferential policies of the whole household. Now Ji Ping's decree is unified, which is exactly what they want.

This is different from the southern part of Hedong County. Because the families and heroes of the northern counties were basically wiped out by the Baibo army, and the people of the household had no resistance.

Ji Ping smiled.

At this time, Li Le said again: "Lord, there are many Southern Xiongnu in these Pingyang counties, but I don't know how to deal with them?" ”

Ji Ping pondered for a moment and said slowly: "If you are a good citizen, you are willing to cultivate and treat them equally, but there are robbers on the border of Koubian, and there is no forgiveness for killing!" ”

Han and Li's expressions were relieved again, Ji Ping could treat the people of the Southern Huns like this, let alone their Baibo army.

Lu Zhi looked at Ji Ping, but his expression was a little surprised, in his opinion, Ji Ping hated foreign races very much, but he didn't expect Ji Ping to be able to treat the people of the Southern Xiongnu equally.

Ji Ping seemed to guess Lu Zhi's thoughts, and said with a smile: "In ancient times, the Yellow Emperor Yandi War, the Yellow Emperor Chiyou War, the Spring and Autumn Warring States, the Five Hegemons competed for power, and the Seven Kingdoms stood side by side. ”

Lu Zhi nodded again and again, but he didn't know that Ji Ping still hadn't said a word.

In his mind, the alien race to which he belonged should not only be accommodated, but also assimilated and integrated through guò culture and decrees.

And for those alien races in Koubian, he will never spare them!

This is not just his humane thinking, but his thinking based on actual form.

After hundreds of years of integration, there are too many alien races in the north of Hedong County and Bingzhou, especially after the Southern Xiongnu were annexed one hundred and fifty years ago, after a hundred years of exhibition, the number of people is more than 600,000 or more, if he kills these Southern Xiongnu people, I am afraid that the Bingzhou will be basically empty, on the other hand, he really can't do anything against the defenseless people, even if it is a foreign race.

Moreover, since the annexation of the Southern Xiongnu, although they have rebelled many times, they have also assisted the Han Dynasty to fight against the Northern Xiongnu and Xianbei many times, and have made great efforts to stabilize the border defense.

Therefore, Ji Ping should also be cautious about the problem of the Southern Xiongnu, especially the people of the Southern Xiongnu, as long as these people are appeased and assimilated, those careerists are just trees without roots, and they can be determined.

Ji Ping looked at Lu Zhi again: "There is another matter, it is imminent, Lu Taishou will transfer grain from Anyi Cang to relieve the hungry people in the eight northern counties." ”

Han Xian and Li Le were overjoyed when they heard this, and now in the eight northern counties of Hedong County, people are starving to death every day, and Ji Ping's move shows benevolence and righteousness.

Three days later, Ji Ping passed through Baibolei and came to Xiangling and Pingyang counties, but what he saw along the way shocked him.

The military strength of the Baibo army is good, but the military discipline is too poor, and it will not govern the place, and in the eight counties in the north of Hedong County, a large area of fertile land and houses have been destroyed, and a large number of people's wives have been scattered, especially in the cold winter season in front of us, food is in short supply, and there are people who are starving to death and freezing to death everywhere, and the living people are also full of vegetables, and crying can be heard from time to time along the way.

Although he had ordered Lu Zhi to transfer food from Anyi to help the people, many of them could not wait for the relief, or had already starved to death before the relief.

Ten days later, Lu Zhi came to Pingyang to see Ji Ping, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, 26,000 people in the eight northern counties of Hedong County are starving to death and freezing to death, and the minister has allocated 600,000 stone grain to relieve 100,000 hungry people, but there are still 250,000 people's grain storage that is difficult to survive the winter, and the Anyi warehouse has no more grain storage. ”

Ji Ping frowned, food, it's a matter of food again.

Although the southeastern part of the river has implemented the policy of tuntian, the autumn grain harvested has been exhausted, and the winter wheat planted in late autumn will not be harvested until next summer, during which there are still five or six months.

He pondered for a moment, looked at Lu Zhi and said, "Ling Si Yan Zhonglang will transport Cui Jun's stored salt to various states and counties in exchange for grain, which should be able to last for two months, and the rest will be handed over to me." ”

In winter, he couldn't dry salt, and there wasn't much food he could exchange, so he had to find another way. (To be continued!)
