Chapter 223: Triumphant Return
What will a person do when he has lost all hope and no longer has a trace of nostalgia for this world? Other people, Bu Dugen didn't know what to do, but what he should do, he had already made a decision in his heart. Budugen could not bear the bitterness of falling from the throne to the mortal dust, and he was used to the life of the superior, so let him return to simplicity, and he would rather die.
Slowly drawing his saber, Budugen put the saber on his neck, and then pulled it hard, ending his own life. Before swallowing the last breath, Budugen stretched out his hand and slowly climbed upward, as if he wanted to straighten the crown on his head, but when he was halfway through, his hand hung down weakly, and even his whole body fell to the ground, and the crown on his head was thrown out of the crown and went a few steps away, but he no longer had the strength to take the crown back and put it on his head.
People are sometimes like this, the greater the hope, the greater the failure, when the inner ability to withstand the unexpected failure, many people will be like the root of the step, choose to end their lives, to bear the failure. But Budugen forgot one thing, as long as people are alive, there is hope, and when they die, there is no hope at all.
Budugen's self-deprecation represents the end of an era. So far, the three leaders of the Xianbei tribe have all died. The vast Xianbei people are about to usher in a new rule, and it is believed that it will not be long before the Xianbei people will start a new life under the great purpose of Ao Lie ethnic integration.
At the same time, after defeating the three major leaders of Budugen and Western Xianbei, Ao Lie left LĂź Bu with an army of 30,000 and asked him to wipe out the remnants of Western Xianbei. Ao Lie believed that Lu Bu, who had been sitting at the border for many years and had rich combat experience with foreigners, would definitely handle the matter properly. Moreover, with the wisdom of Chen Gong to help Lu Bu make suggestions, Ao Lie didn't have any worries at all.
The reason why the class teacher was so anxious to return to Yanjing was because Huang Zhong, who stayed in Yanjing, sent someone to send a letter to Ao Lie. The letter said. Sun Ce suddenly came to Yanjing, and he was originally very anxious to see Ao Lie, but when he heard that Ao Lie had led his army north to resist Xianbei, he had to wait patiently in Yanjing. As for what Sun Ce was in a hurry, Huang Zhong's letter did not mention it.
Ao Lie is very familiar with Sun Ce's temperament, and if nothing particularly major happens, Sun Ce will not come to Yanjing to ask for his help, so it can be seen that he is by Sun Ce's side. Something big must have happened. can make Sun Ce wait patiently in Yanjing for more than half a month, and did not come to the north to look for himself, which also shows that Sun Ce must have had some changes, otherwise, with Sun Ce's character, he will definitely come to the north to find himself alone. Moreover, Huang Zhong is Ao Lie's confidant and general, and he has something to hide from Huang Zhong. If you don't say what happened, then it must not be simple.
When he accepted Sun Ce's apprentice, he was also forced to do helplessly, but with the passage of time. Ao Lie's understanding of Sun Ce gradually deepened, and he found that Sun Ce's nature was not bad, but sometimes he was too self-conscious, and he also worshiped force too much to solve all problems. Besides. Sun Ce can be called a general, and he is definitely a talent that can be cultivated. Ao Lie, who is familiar with history, still knows the Tao, and it won't take long. The entire Jiangdong will become the back garden of the Sun family, and Sun Ce is the actual founder of the Eastern Wu Empire. In order to stabilize the situation in the south, Ao Lie has no reason to ignore the affairs of the Sun family. What's more, Ao Lie is now married to Sun Shangxiang, speaking of which, he can be regarded as half a son of the Sun family, whether it is public or private, it is impossible for Ao Lie to ignore the affairs of the Sun family.
There were still ten days left before the two-month time limit agreed between Ao Lie and Tian Feng, and Ao Lie had already completed the established strategy ahead of schedule, leading the victorious army to appear ten miles away from Yanjing City. This expedition played a decisive role in the stability of northern Xinjiang and was also of epoch-making significance. In just two months, Ao Yeol's army first pacified the Goguryeo and Buyeo kingdoms in Youzhou, turning the two countries into two counties under Youzhou's rule; and then used grain and grass as bait, and defeated the eastern Xianbei Kebineng Department in one fell swoop; Immediately afterwards, under Wang Yun's unintentional "help", Lu Bu resorted to a bitter plan and quickly pacified the Xianbei and Lian Divisions in the central region; Later, at the suggestion of Zhuge Liang, Ao Lie staged a simple and practical discord against the western Xianbei Budu Gen Division, and defeated the main force of the Western Xianbei in the first battle.
Such a brilliant record, even compared with the former first champion Hou Huo Quai, is not far behind. The reason why Ao Lie was able to accomplish this feat so quickly was due to many factors. Ao Lie spared no effort in the cultivation and training of the soldiers under his command, and the large amount of money and effort Ao Lie spent was not in vain. Whether it is the level of training or the sophistication of weapons and equipment, the soldiers under the command of Ao Lie have already stood at the pinnacle that can be reached in this world, which is the basic factor to ensure a great victory in this battle.
The concerted efforts of all the civil and military forces under his command were another important factor in Ao Lie's victory. The generals who fought on the front line took the lead and took the lead; The officers who remained in the rear were not easy, not only maintaining good law and order in the territory, but also responsible for delivering grain and grass to the front line to ensure that the front line army could fight without worries. The military generals of Wenchen are of one heart and one mind, and there are no discordant voices, and internal stability and unity are important factors to ensure that the military group of the military group will win successive battles at a critical moment.
In addition, Ao Lie's insight and good knowledge of people also laid the foundation for this great victory. Under Ao Lie's command, most of the civil and military officials were talents discovered by Ao Lie himself. Before serving under Ao Lie, many people were not famous at all, but after serving Ao Lie, Ao Lie arranged the most suitable positions for them according to each person's expertise, let them show their strengths, give full play to their talents, and never forget to train them in more depth and aspects, which created a group of reusable fierce generals and capable officials.
Taking Zhuge Liang as the most typical example, before this, few people knew who Zhuge Liang was, and many people's respect for Zhuge Liang was because he was a disciple of Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui and Pang Degong, and Ao Lie favored him, so Zhuge Liang sat in the position of the first minister. In this regard, many people have doubts in their hearts, thinking that Zhuge Liang is still young and lacks qualifications to be entrusted with such an important task. However, after this battle, Zhuge Liang's military literacy, strategizing and speculation on people's hearts have been vividly brought into play, so that those who have doubts have completely dispelled the worries in their hearts and confirmed Zhuge Liang's status as the first minister.
In addition to internal factors, external factors cannot be ignored. First of all, it was this rare heavy snowfall that made the aliens in northern Xinjiang, especially the Xianbei tribe, unprepared, and in order to survive, they could only launch a large-scale invasion of Youhe in a hurry. For nomads, it is impossible to have too much food stock, and if they start a war rashly, once they fail, the result will inevitably be extinction. Compared with the Xianbei people, although there is not much grain in Ao Lie's hands, the Han people are mainly engaged in agriculture after all, and it is still more convenient to mobilize grain and grass than the Xianbei people.
On the other hand, it's a matter of luck. In the repeated battles, good luck has always been on Ao Lie's side, and even Wang Yun, who had no intention of inserting willows, stepped in from Luoyang, thousands of miles away, and his actions of harboring evil intentions helped Ao Lie a lot. The extreme of good luck is called luck. Often those who have great luck will achieve an earth-shattering feat in the end. Through this battle, it can be deduced that Ao Lie belongs to the kind of person who has great luck, otherwise how can he explain his good luck again and again?
In short, although the two-month battle time was short, Ao Lie fulfilled the long-cherished wish that several generations or even dozens of generations of Han people had never fulfilled. It is the common wish of all Han people since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to unify the northern Xinjiang and plan the huge area of Yong and Liang in the west and the secluded and secluded region in the east to the territory of the Han Dynasty. Now, it won't be too long before that day comes.
The Han Dynasty was a dynasty that focused on merit. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty repeatedly waged wars in order to expand the territory and contribute to the territory of the Han Dynasty. Since then, the expansion of territory has become the greatest credit in the hearts of every Han people. The reason why Hou Huo, the first champion of the past, can still become a hero in the eyes of the people today hundreds of years later is because Huo Qubing is in the desert, and the Huns who fought were forced to bow down to the Han Dynasty.
Today, Ao Lie has accomplished the same feat as Huo Quzhi, and even more brilliant than Huo Quzhi's record. Therefore, when Ao Lie's class returned to Yanjing City, the civil and military officials who stayed in Yanjing under his command all changed into brand new clothes, bathed in incense, and went out of the city for ten miles to greet them. Whether it is a scribe or a warrior, those who have made great achievements in expanding their territory in this era will be admired from the bottom of their hearts. In addition, some people living in Yanjing City, and even within a radius of 100 miles, appeared in the opposite column to welcome the triumphant return of Ao Lie's army, and they spontaneously lined up, holding the small amount of food or wine at home in their hands, expressing their inner joy in the form of a reward army.
For these poor people at the bottom, the grand ideal of expanding the territory is too far away from their lives. But they knew that their governor had effectively curbed the southern invasion of the Xianbei people, saved their families from being poisoned, and their property from being invaded; They also knew that after this battle, those aliens who often invaded the south would never again invade as before, because those brutal and brutal aliens had been conquered by Ao Lie, the governor of the capital, whom they admired.
Ao Lie's big victory made Liu Xie, the son of heaven, and the people of Li have a sense of pleasure. In the past 100 years, the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty has been repeatedly invaded by foreign races in northern Xinjiang, and the Han people who died in the invasion and lost the money in the invasion have no one able to calculate clearly, but everyone understands in their hearts that it will be an astronomical number, and these numbers represent the hatred formed by the Han people and the alien races in the northern Xinjiang for generations, and this hatred has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow.
It was Ao Lie who made all the Han people breathe a bad breath, so that they could vent the resentment that had been pent up in their hearts for a long time without reservation, especially the people in Youhe Erzhou and the northern part of Jizhou, who suffered from the invasion of foreign people, in their hearts, Ao Lie is a well-deserved hero!
