Although it took Liu He a little thought to settle the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Montenegrin Army, under the general trend, Zhang Yan actually didn't have much choice. Either return to Liu He, wash from black to white, and eat the emperor's grain; Either stubborn to the end, blocked in the Taihang Mountains by several armies deployed by Liu He in Bingzhou and Jizhou, after a long time, there will be internal strife within Montenegro, and then Liu He will win over a gang, eliminate a gang, and finally perish.

Fortunately, Zhang Yan was sober enough, and Liu He's sincerity was also enough, so in addition to being exterminated thousands of recalcitrant elements at the beginning, the Montenegrin tribes began to move in batches from the mountains to Zhaojun and Dingxiang, and lived a stable life ever since.

As the Spring Festival approached, Liu He finally summoned the three families of Ma Han, Ben Han and Chen Han to send a distress messenger to Jicheng, and promised to send a large army to land in Sanhan after the weather warmed up next year to help these tribes deal with Gongsun Du of Lelang.

During the months that the natives of these islands stayed in Yecheng, they saw with their own eyes the wealth and power of the Han Dynasty (under the intentional leadership of Chen Yi), and after seeing Liu He, they wanted to kneel down and call their father, and now they learned that Liu He was going to send a large army to fight Sanhan, and none of them thought that Liu He would have any thoughts about the desolate and barren place of Sanhan. To put it too far, the Samhan Peninsula has been part of the Han Dynasty for a long time since the Qin Dynasty, and if Liu He wants to return it to the Han Dynasty, the natives on the island will not only not resist, but will celebrate with gongs and drums.

Since Liu He promised Sanhan to come as an envoy, he would not just say a few empty words. Liu He gave an order to Zhang Yan, the commander of the Montenegrin Army, who had already been formally appointed, and ordered him to seize the time to reorganize his troops and horses, and expand the number of troops in each battalion of the three battalions of Feiyan, Beiwei, and Zhenze from more than 10,000 to 20,000 per battalion before the year. After the Spring Festival, the three battalions each sent 10,000 soldiers and horses, led by the commanders of the three battalions, Sun Qing, Wang Dang and Du Yuan, respectively, to the direction of Bohai County, Jizhou, preparing to take a troop transport ship to Sanhan.

Because Sanhan was three different feudal states, Liu He could not favor one over the other. Therefore, simply sending a battalion of soldiers and horses to each vassal state can be regarded as fully carrying forward the spirit of internationalism......

At the same time, Liu He also prepared 30,000 displaced people for the third battalion, who would follow the army and take care of logistics, and then settle in Samhan as the first step for Liu He's overseas emigration and contribute to the territorial expansion of the Han Dynasty.

Liu He's appointment to the Black Mountain Army not only justifiably separated Zhang Yan from his three deputy marshals, but also benefited Zhang Yan himself and the three capable marshals, and also solved the problem of Sanhan. It can be described as a spring breeze and rain, delicate and silent.

If Sun Qing, Du Yuan, and Wang Dang stayed in Jizhou, each of them had 20,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and Zhang Yan had to control the three of them in order to achieve the goal of controlling the Montenegrin army. It's just that people's hearts are the most unpredictable, and now the entire Montenegrin army has been subordinated to Liu He, if the three little marshals want to overthrow Zhang Yan, it is actually an easy thing, they just need to show loyalty to Liu He.

Now, the three marshals led their troops to Samhan. The remaining 30,000 soldiers and horses will naturally be directly under Zhang Yan's command, and the three little marshals will be able to break away from Zhang Yan's influence in the future, fight and compete with each other on the brand-new battlefield of Sanhan. Fulfill your heart's desires and ambitions.

The Montenegrin tribes, all of whom are Han Chinese, can now return to the land, and the burning passion for the land in their bones is soon revealed. With a stroke of the pen, Zhang Zan and Wei Dun distributed a large area of land in Dingxiang County and Zhao County to the Montenegrin people according to households. They will never obey Zhang Yan's transfer again, as long as the government no longer does anything oppressive to them, it will not be ten years old. Dingxiang and Zhao County will be completely assimilated by the surrounding counties, and at that time, who will remember the origin of these people who worked on the land in the Taihang Mountains?

After properly resettling the hundreds of thousands of Montenegrin people entrenched in the Taihang Mountains, the shape of the four northern states became more stable, and Liu He set his sights on Jinyang, Bingzhou.

Because of the addition of the Montenegrin Army, the total number of troops in Liu He's hands increased again, and the troops used to contain and defend the Montenegrin Army were also omitted, so when he freed his hands to deal with Gao Gan and Yuan Tan, he put on a posture of "encirclement and fighting" from the beginning.

The Yue Cavalry Guard has become an army, and now they have begun to patrol and guard in the north of Ningzhou, so that the Xiao Cavalry Guard and the Youyan Army will completely take over the defensive task on the Ningzhou side. Xu Huang then led his army to Mengxian County, fifty miles north of Jinyang, according to the orders of the Commander's Office, while Zhang He led the cavalry guards to Baitan City, north of Diping, and was responsible for the border defense from Liaozhou to Baishan City. The border defense from Baishan City to Daqingshan was undertaken by the four cavalry under Baishan Duwei City.

The small cavalry guard moved to the east and moved the Zhenbei army that was originally stationed in Yuyang to move out. Xu Rong led his army south in accordance with the orders of the Commander's Office, and in one fell swoop, he drove his troops to Liyang on the north bank of the Yellow River, taking over the defensive task of the Zhenwu battalion. The Zhenwu battalion was led by Xian Yufu and went to Bingzhou, and stationed its troops in Yangyi, fifty miles southeast of Jinyang.

The Zhenwei battalion, which had originally defended Huguan and Tianjing Pass, moved its garrison westward to Jiexiu, cutting off the road for the Jinyang defenders to raid Hedong from the Fenhe Ancient Road.

Zhao Yun, who was stationed in Hedong, moved his troops to the Tongtian Mountain area at the junction of Xihe County and Hedong County, and directly threatened the Jinyang defenders to retreat to Fushi.

Gao Gan originally wanted to rely on Jinyang to hold on, but when he found out that the four armies of Youyan, Zhenwei, Zhenwu and Shenxi had gathered in Jinyang's four weeks and months, he was completely panicked.

Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Xian Yufu, Xu Huang...... It seems that these four main generals also have less blood on Xu Huang's hands than the soldiers of the Yuan army, but he also stabbed Gao Lan's brother Gao Huai when he feinted to attack Jinyang. As for the other three, I don't know how many battles they have fought with Yuan Jun over the years, but it can be said that half of their military exploits were piled up with Yuan Jun's accumulated bones.

This battle is really unfought!

When the Yuan army in Jinyang City heard that Zhao Yun and Tai Shici were going to kill them, they began to flee one after another, even if they were caught by the military judge and killed, they could not stop the great fear in their hearts.

Seeing that the morale of the army was no longer available, Feng Ji strongly suggested that the senior cadres immediately lead the army to withdraw to Fushi and join forces with Koyi's troops, so that it would be safer. Gao Gan has long been displeased with Feng Ji, and now no one can check and balance him, so he took this opportunity to put on a big hat that shook the morale of the army to Feng Ji, and then pulled out the head of the gate to show the public.

As soon as Ji died, the hearts of the people in the city became even more unstable. Several of Gao Gan's subordinates were bribed and instigated by the personnel of the Intelligence Department of the Command Office, so they secretly colluded to discuss waiting for Liu He's troops to kill Gao Gan and surrender the city when they besieged Jinyang.

After a few days, the Youyan army first began to attack the periphery of Jinyang from the north, and then the Zhenwu battalion followed suit, and the Zhenwei battalion continued to maintain deterrence.

Before the two armies reached the city of Jinyang, the Yuan army in the city staged a mutiny, killing Gao Gan and those generals who were loyal to Gao Gan, and then opened the gates of Jinyang City and asked Xu Huang and Xian Yufu to surrender.

Jinyang then fell into the hands of Liu He relatively intact, and many of the city's civilians and ordinary soldiers were spared from having to experience the terrifying scene when the newly developed high explosives of the Macheng Arms Bureau exploded and burned.

After Xu Huang and Xian Yufu joined forces to take Jinyang, they very consciously stopped their troops, and then waited for the troops led by Zhao Yun and Tai Shici to go to Fushi to deal with Yuan Tan.

When the news of the fall of Jinyang reached Fushi, Yuan Tan did not hesitate to adopt Guo Tu and Liyi's original Jianyi, and withdrew to the territory of Fuping in Beidi County with his men and horses. According to the area redivided by the imperial court last year, it is now under the jurisdiction of Qinzhou, but in fact it is still a place where Liangzhou, Qinzhou and Bingzhou are not garrisoned by officials and governments.

Zhao Yun and Tai Shici didn't care about Yuan Tan's retreat without a fight, and their troops began to clean up the small groups of Southern Xiongnu and Qiang people entrenched in Xihe, Shangjun and other places in Bingzhou. According to Liu He's instructions, the purpose of this clean-up operation in Bingzhou was not to completely exterminate these tribes and ethnic groups, but to control them all, and then disperse and migrate to Liaozhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou and other places, so that they could no longer gather together in the future to threaten the local Han people and the administration of the government.

The chaotic situation in Bingzhou was quickly quelled, and Sima Fang, the pastor of Bingzhou originally appointed by the imperial court, was replaced by Liu Yu and replaced by Zang Hong, a famous scholar of Dong that year.

At the beginning of the state, the Youyan army was stationed near Jinyang to assist Zang Hong in maintaining local law and order, and the Zhenwu battalion went to Hanoi to defend the Gyeonggi stronghold.

The Shen Xi army and the Zhenwei battalion did not leave much respite for Yuan Tan, and soon appeared to the east of Fuping. Yuan Tan couldn't bear it anymore this time, and wanted to send troops for a decisive battle, but he was coerced by Lu Yi to continue to flee westward, and fled all the way to the west of Yumen Pass, hiding in the chaotic land far from the Central Plains in the Western Regions.

Yuan Tan was able to pass all the way from Fuping through Wuwei, Zhangye and Guzang counties, which must have something to do with Ma Teng and Han Sui who were entrenched in Xiliang, but Liu He didn't want to stretch the horizontal front too long for the time being, so he didn't let Zhao Yun and Tai Shici go to Ma Teng and Han Sui for trouble, but ordered Zhao Yun to lead the Shenxi army back to Hedong to rest, and ordered Tai Shici to lead the Zhenwei battalion to stay in Fuping to directly deter Ma Teng and Han Sui in Xiliang.

There were no soldiers and bandits in Qinzhou, and Zhu Hao, a Qinzhou pastor who temporarily lived in Luoyang, arrived in Gaonu under the protection of Liu Yu's troops, and began a ten-year operation here.

Zhu Hao was deeply influenced by his father Zhu Jun from childhood to adulthood, and was very loyal to the imperial court, so he did not feel that Qinzhou was a bitter cold place, but longed for the vigorous development of Youzhou, so as soon as he arrived in Gaonu, he sent people to Jicheng to learn from it, and at the same time applied to Liu He for assistance, hoping that Liu He could send him a group of young and capable officials to help build Qinzhou.

Being able to take the initiative to ask Liu He to send officials to Qinzhou shows that Zhu Hao's political wisdom is not low, and this move also won Liu He's favor, so Qinzhou has since taken the express train of northern development, ending the chaos that lasted for twenty years.
