Chapter 42 The Third Task Dong Zhuo of the Three Kingdoms 10
After releasing a few big moves, making the Luoyang Imperial Court a mess. Lu Renbing concentrated on combing Jizhou, Youzhou and Liaozhou that had just been carved out.
After collecting the heroes of Jizhou, Lu Renbing had another 80,000 soldiers and horses on hand that could be maneuvered. Lu Renbing waved his army into Youzhou and cleared the Youzhou Liukou. Liu Yu was driven back to Luoyang by Lu Renbing, and Gongsun Zan was arranged by Lu Renbing to Liaodong. Because Youzhou is located on the border, it does not have the momentum of the world in later generations. For the princes of Luoyang, this is a remote and wild place.
Youzhou, where the people are fierce, was looted by Lu Renbing, 40,000 horses, a total of 12 people, and after rectification, they went out of the Great Wall in four ways to sweep Wuhuan.
Qiu Liju, the leader of Wuhuan, colluded with Zhang Chun to rebel, Kou Luoqing, Xu, You, Ji, and Gongsun Zhan pursued Wuhuan and fled back in embarrassment. is such a group of traitors, who were appeased by Liu Yu, at the cost of Zhang Chun's head.
Although this is Liu Yu's merit, it is not a compromise between Liu Yu and rebellion. This is absolutely unbearable for Lu Renbing, Wuhuan must be completely destroyed, and Zhang Chun must also be killed by the Han army himself.
20 years later, Wuhuan perished at the hands of Cao Cao, a tribe that had been sheltered by the Han family for 200 years, and could still get away with it for 20 years after making a mistake, which was not in line with the core interests of the Han Dynasty.
Wuhuan and the Southern Xiongnu were both important sources of Han cavalry, and Wuhuan and Xianbei also had a deep hatred, so they had no way to escape. Gongsun Chan also received an order from Lu Renbing to attack Wuhuan from Liaodong.
Wuhuan was not a complete tribal alliance, and Qiu Liju was only a nominal co-leader. In fact, the Wuhuan tribes had no confidence in the battle against the Han Dynasty at all.
Only when the big man is weak, he has the idea of taking the opportunity to get some benefits. Once the Khan's army is overwhelmed, they will surrender.
Lu Renbing accepted, the heads of the various departments surrendered, and the young and strong knights were sent into the army, and the old and weak women and children were sent to various places in Youzhou for resettlement. Youzhou is very short of people.
Lu Renbing's four-way army plus Gongsun Zhan made a big move, and the Karasuma tribes close to the Great Wall surrendered one after another, and turned their heads to become the leading party, and soon Qiu Liju and his young son, the floor slab, Congzi Badun, and Qiu Liju's hardcore difficult building, Su Fuyan, Wuyan and other 50,000 horsemen were surrounded in Liucheng Bailong Mountain.
This is also the place where Zhang Liao killed Badun in history.
Now Zhang Liao is ravaging Xianbei in the west, and the heavy task of killing the leaders such as Bundun falls into the hands of the four generals of Hebei, Yan Rou of Guangyang, and Gongsun Zan of Liaodong.
There was no suspense in the battle, Qiu Liju and others were beheaded, none of them escaped, and all the leaders of Wuhuan present were beheaded by Lu Renbing, and the heads of the surrendered departments were transmitted. At this point, Wuhuan has completely become history. There were 200,000 Huhan people who surrendered, and Lu Renbing moved all of them to Youzhou to enrich the population. The territory of Karasuma was assigned to Gongsun Zhan, the assassin of Liaozhou. Tell Gongsun Chan that the population is up to him to take captivity from Xianbei and Goguryeo and Samhan.
Moreover, Lu Renbing promised that the land that Gongsun Chan expanded to the north and east would be assigned to Liaozhou, which gave Gongsun Chan full combat autonomy.
Gongsun Zhan already liked to fight against the grassland tribes like Xianbei, and now he was naturally overjoyed when he heard Lu Renbing's order to fully delegate power.
After collecting and relocating Wuhuan, Lu Renbing got countless horses, cattle and sheep, as well as 60,000 Karasuma cavalry. This army is really fighting more and more.
The 180,000 people Lu Renbing now has on hand have all become horseback soldiers. Because of the stirrup, the saddle of the high bridge, and the equipment of the spear and scimitar, which can barely be used as a cavalry by 180,000 people, the mobility has been greatly improved, and now it happens to be on the grassland again, and it is also good to practice the riding skills of these infantry on horseback in the eastern Xianbei.
So Lu Renbing put them all on the grassland, and did not give them specific combat tasks, that is, training troops and plundering.
The Karasuma cavalry was scattered among the various divisions as a teacher, merging with each other.
Lu Renbing's approach undoubtedly unleashed 180,000 well-armed beasts.
If it is facing a Han army with a clear combat goal, the Xianbei people can use the general tactics to deal with it. But in the face of this kind of army like the rogue of the grassland, even the army that rushed to plunder, the Xianbei people were helpless.
The other party was well-equipped, all on horseback, and there were Karasuma people, Xianbei people, and Hannu as guides, so they couldn't deal with it at all.
Tribes were constantly being plundered, walls were broken, and cavalry to the rescue was being killed.
The western Xianbei can only continue to shrink their forces and are tired of coping. Lu In-byung also gave an order to Gongsun Chan and let his men plunder Goguryeo and the Samhan people.
This kind of immoral hooligan warfare method is something that all the border forces dealing with the Han Dynasty cannot deal with. What can you do if someone stronger than you is a hooligan.
Lu Bu and Zhang Liao in the west, and Xu Rong in the center also received the same strategy. The tribes on the entire grassland have been unlucky this year, and the natural disasters on the grassland are just that.
What was even more terrifying was the raging Han army. So that they can't even be nomadic in peace.
This time, the Han army did not accept negotiations, except for surrender.
Because the Han army had the Great Wall as its support, and Lu Renbing provided sufficient ordnance and food as a supplement, it did not consider the season on the grassland at all. Anyway, since May of the first year of Chuping, there has been non-stop harassment and looting, endlessly. All the Xianbei tribes near the Great Wall collapsed, and after the surrender, the women and children were placed in the Great Wall, and the young and strong were then absorbed and continued to wreak havoc on the grasslands.
The Xianbei cavalry who changed their identities treated other clans mercilessly, which is the rule on the grassland. Snowballing, more and more steppe tribes were broken and surrendered. The nobles of the three Xianbei tribes had to move the tribe farther and farther away.
They also wanted to concentrate their forces on a decisive battle with the Han army, but Lu Renbing didn't give them a chance. Are you the only ones who are allowed to come and go like the wind? We can too.
It is most effective to deal with the steppe people in the way they fight. You can also plunder livestock, cattle and horses, and make a little money, why not do it.
An unrestrained army is the most terrifying beast, and once a well-equipped Han army spoils the steppe without any scruples, the tribes on the steppe will be unbearable. This is the same as the raiding of the Central Plains by the steppe tribes. Because they will only destroy, regardless of the consequences. Set fire to the grasslands in autumn and winter, which tribe would do such a thing? Do cattle and sheep still need to raise fat? Stuffing rivers with animal carcasses and polluting water sources is what tribe would do except in times of war. This beast-like Han army dared to do it. Anyway, they have plenty of clean water and iron pots to boil water to drink.
The leaders of the three tribes constantly sent envoys to ask for a truce in the Khan's court, and the Xianbei tribes requested that they be attached and promised to harass the border states and counties again.
The envoys of Goguryeo and Samhan also went to Luoyang to complain. Dong Cheng, who is sitting in Jicheng, gets along, and he is also a messenger who has knelt for I don't know how many waves.
The bigwigs who are fighting for various reform plans and have dog brains are all playing out, and when they receive the confessions of Xianbei, Goguryeo, and Samhan, they understand what the prime minister of Dongda has done in northern Xinjiang?
The sympathy of the Confucians exploded, and they demanded that Prime Minister Dong Cheng stop this inhumane behavior and give peace to these reliable younger brothers of the Han Dynasty.
Prime Minister Dong Cheng said that the bandits were raging on the grassland, and he didn't know about it before, but now that he knew about it, he immediately sent troops to the grassland to clear out the bandits.
The princes of the court and the heads of the three departments were all stunned by Lu Renbing's shameless attitude.
Then the three princes got off the donkey, wishing the prime minister to pacify the grassland liukou as soon as possible, and turn back to continue to divide the pie. The three Xianbei tribes tearfully relocated the tribe to the more bitter cold Mobei and the Outer Xing'an Mountains.
Lu Renbing doesn't care about them, no matter what, his training plan will not stop. It takes two or three years to train cavalry well, right?
