Chapter 217: Converging Lu Bu

When it was dark, the smoke gradually dissipated. The battle in the Xianbei camp came to an end at the beginning of the rising sun.

Ao Lie stood like a javelin in the middle of the camp, waiting for his generals to report to him on the gains and losses of the battle. In front of Ao Lie, there was originally a bloody army of 10,000 people, but after a night of fighting, there were hundreds of casualties, and the remaining more than 9,000 people were holding sabers and guarding the Xianbei prisoners who were several times their size. At a cursory glance, there are at least forty or fifty thousand Xianbei prisoners kneeling on the ground.

The sound of horses' hooves moved, Zhao Yun took his subordinates and soldiers and escorted nearly 10,000 Xianbei people over, commanded his subordinates to bring the captured Xianbei people into the custody of the bloody killing army, and ordered the sergeants to cooperate with the bloody killing army to lay down two layers of defense to prevent the captured Xianbei people from mutiny, Zhao Yun then rode his horse to Ao Lie, turned down and jumped off the horse, Zhao Yun said to Ao Lie with the joy after the victory: "Senior brother, after this battle, most of the young people in the eastern Xianbei were captured, I am afraid that they can no longer make waves." ”

Ao Lie nodded with a smile, Eastern Xianbei is the most ambitious and powerful of all the three Xianbei, and getting rid of Eastern Xianbei is equivalent to getting rid of half of the threat in Northern Xinjiang.

It didn't take long, Ma Chao also rushed over with people, unlike Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun knew the importance of population, so when he was fighting, he would not kill the Xianbei people if he could; But Ma Chao is an anxious person, once he kills up, he won't think about so many things, and he can't wait to kill all the Xianbei people in front of him to his heart. Therefore, in Ma Chao's queue, there were only two or three thousand poor Xianbei prisoners, and the rest of the Xianbei people, no need to ask, it can be seen from Ma Chao's blood-soaked appearance that they must have been killed by him.

Later, Pound also led the team to rush over. The Xianbei prisoners he captured were neither as many as Zhao Yun, but also not as few as Ma Chao, about 5,000 people.

After an hour's count, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu came to Ao Lie and reported the gains and losses of the battle to Ao Lie one by one. Ao Lie's habit has always been to listen to the losses of his troops first, and then to the results of the battle. Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu naturally knew the character of Ao Lie who loved soldiers like sons, so they reported battle losses when they came up.

In this battle, more than 400 people were killed in the elite of the 10,000 bloody army. More than 500 others were traumatized to varying degrees; Of the 30,000 sergeants under the command of Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Pang De, more than 3,000 were killed in battle, and nearly 7,000 were wounded, of which more than 2,000 were disabled enough to continue serving in the army. This battle damage situation is still quite satisfactory to Ao Lie. Since Shaxian was ambushed by Yuan Shao and others in the first battle, and most of the elite under his command were lost, when the army was reorganized, Ao Lie's requirements for the soldiers under his command were stricter. From the most basic physical strength, to individual combat skills, to the adaptability of large-scale battles, the formation and change of battle formations are also the most important. Ao Lie has made the strictest requirements. It is precisely because of Ao Lie's strict requirements that usually

On the side of the Xianbei army, the number of people killed reached a terrifying 40,000, and another 10,000 or 20,000 escaped. The rest were taken and taken prisoner. The number of prisoners accounted for as much as half of the Xianbei army. There were 60,000 people. In addition to the data on the number of people, this battle also captured all the grain and grass in Xianbei in the east, but unfortunately, at the beginning of Ao Lie's army breaking into the Xianbei camp, he set fire to create chaos, and many grains and grasses were burned in the fire, and the grain and grass of the Xianbei people were not much, so the captured grain and grass can play a limited role, but it is finally better than nothing.

Compared to the few grains, weapons and armor can be called a huge number. nearly 100,000 swords, 30,000 spears, and countless bows and arrows; In terms of clothing and armor, 20,000 pairs of iron armor and more than 80,000 pairs of leather armor were seized, and countless materials such as banners and tents were seized. To tell the truth, with the casting process of the Xianbei people, these weapons and armor can't enter Ao Lie's eyes at all, but it doesn't matter, Ao Lie has Wang Hun and Ma Jun, two great craftsmen, and let them lead the students of the Yanjing Academy to improve these weapons and iron armor, or recreate them to make standard fish scale armor and horse chopping swords, which are all good choices.

In short, no matter what, it is definitely worth Ao Lie's surprise to be able to harvest so many iron tools. Xianbei people don't do production, they can come up with so many iron tools, it can be seen that this Kebi can be real, these iron weapons and armor, almost all the iron weapons in the entire eastern Xianbei, after this fiasco, not to mention that the elite of the eastern Xianbei were wiped out by Ao Lie, even if there are still young and strong people who can go to the battlefield, they don't have the weapons to take advantage of. Within ten years, Eastern Xianbei no longer had the capital to invade the south.

What surprised Ao Lie the most was not the captured iron weapons and armor, but the war horses. The Xianbei people crisscross the northern frontier, relying on excellent war horses. Similar to the Huns, Xianbei is a nomadic people, and each adult man of the Xianbei people is a qualified warrior when he takes a saber and straddles the war horse, which shows the Xianbei people's reliance on the war horse. Therefore, the war horses raised by the Xianbei people are all good horses with strong endurance and good at long-distance running, and these war horses are extremely cold-resistant, in the heavy snowfall, a large number of cattle and sheep are frozen to death at the same time, these war horses have survived intact, and the excellent varieties can be seen. After accurate liquidation, in this battle, Ao Lie's army captured a total of more than 50,000 such good horses, relying on these horses, Ao Lie can completely form a heavy cavalry.

After counting the spoils of war, the next step was to dispose of the Xianbei captives. If it was before, Ao Lie would definitely not hesitate to order the 60,000 Xianbei people who were captured to be killed in order to prevent future troubles. But after last night's battle, Ao Lie figured out a lot of questions, first of all, the Xianbei people are also a branch of the Chinese nation, and they are an integral part of the Chinese nation in later generations; secondly, the comfortable Han people need the fighting nature of the Xianbei people to awaken their fighting spirit and passion that are sleeping in the bottom of their hearts; Thirdly, from a personal point of view, Ao Lie is also willing to play a role in promoting national integration.

Therefore, Ao Lie did not order the killing of the Xianbei captives, but selected 20,000 elites from them, who were guarded by the Blood Killing Army, and escorted all the way back to Yanjing to be trained and reformed by Jia Xu, Huang Zhong and others. As for the remaining more than 40,000 people, it's simple, all released. Since Xianbei in the east no longer has the strength to invade the south in the short term, Ao Lie is also happy and generous, and let these people go back to continue to engage in nomadism. In fact, Ao Lie was forced to do this, of course he wanted to move all the Xianbei people to the territory of Youhe and live with the Han people, but the problem was that Ao Lie couldn't take out so much food to feed the prisoners of war. There are also some Xianbei people, because they yearn for the civilization and life of the Han Dynasty, and voluntarily follow Ao Lie's army back to the territory of Youhe, in this regard, Ao Lie did not hinder it, but expressed its welcome, and gave a certain amount of money and food to every Xianbei person who was willing to live in Youhe. There are shadow members all over the country, and Ao Lie is not worried about what waves these Xianbei people who have moved south.

After arranging the prisoners of war, Ao Lie asked Zhao Yun to lead 20,000 men to continue northward and pacify all the territory of Xianbei in the east in one fell swoop. The current Eastern Xianbei is like a toothless tiger, without the youth and weapons, and 20,000 people are sent, which is enough to pacify the Eastern Xianbei. What's more, people's hearts are flesh and blood, and the 40,000 Xianbei who were released back are strong, and they are grateful for Ao Lie's grace of not killing, and they will definitely help Zhao Yun quickly stabilize the situation. Xianbei people advocate force, and after seeing the bravery of Ao Lie's army, they have a sense of awe in their hearts, and they can't afford to resist. Ethnic minorities are often so simple and direct, if you are stronger than me, I will obey you; I am stronger than you, so you must surrender to me, and you don't have the double-faced face of the Han people.

After Zhao Yun led the army to the north and the bloody army returned to Yanjing with 20,000 Xianbei elites, Ao Lie immediately led the rest of the 10,000 troops to the border of Youhe, and Lu Bu's ambiguous attitude was always a question that haunted Ao Lie's heart. If this mystery is not solved as soon as possible, Ao Lie feels very uncomfortable. Yu Gong, Lu Bu is the pastor of the state, and he is a subordinate of Ao Lie, the governor of Youhe Dadu, and Ao Lie does not want to see his subordinates betrayed; Yu Lie, Lu Bu is Ao Lie's sworn brother, the two have shared hardships and hardships for ten years, and have experienced the situation of life and death together several times, Ao Lie does not believe that Lu Bu will betray this brotherhood. However, Lu Bu secretly released water and connived at the invasion of Xianbei in the middle of the company's department, which is very incomprehensible, so Ao Lie needs to know Lu Bu's true thoughts as soon as possible, and it is already an urgent matter to have a long talk with Lu Bu.

In the camp of Lu Bu at the junction of the secluded and annexed, Chen Gong took the battle report and said with admiration: "Extraordinary people must do extraordinary things, and the champion Hou is really a genius." actually used the soil to mix grain and grass, found such an opportunity that was not an opportunity, and defeated the more than 100,000 Xianbei army of Kebineng's department overnight, which is respectable and lamentable! ”

Lu Bu didn't even have the interest to take a look at the battle report, and said with an indifferent smile: "I said a long time ago that Mo Han is a genius who is not born in the world, and it is not surprising that Kebi can be defeated and killed. If it was Mo Han who was defeated, then it would be strange. ”

Seeing that Lu Bu was proud of Ao Lie, Chen Gong smiled knowingly and said in a low voice: "Wen Hou, Chen Gong somewhat understands why you let Helian enter the secluded merger, the champion Hou Xiong is strategic, and it is indeed worth the prince's painstaking efforts......

Just as the two were talking, a junior colonel entered the account and reported: "Hou Wen, the lord has led the army to thirty miles away from the camp, please make a decision." "In the Bingzhou army, all the soldiers followed the old habit and called LĂź Bu Wenhou, but under LĂź Bu's strict orders, they called Ao Lie the lord.

Lu Bu lowered his head and thought for a while, suddenly raised his head, and said loudly: "Tell the lord that if you believe Lu Bu, come alone!" The Colonel took the order and left. Lu Bu turned his head to look at Chen Gong and said in a low voice: "Gongtai, please go and invite Helian and Wang Yun's envoys over, this scene should also be over......" (to be continued......
