Chapter 922: This is my bottom line, and the bottom line is absolutely not allowed to be breached!
There are not many people and horses to deal with the Southern Huns entrenched in Bingzhou this time, 20,000 cavalry, 10,000 infantry, the main will be Lu Bu and his command Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Cao Xing, Cheng Lian and others, as well as Zhao Yun and Gao Ran who came to help.
There was no way, Gongsun Chan and his subordinates stayed in their own country.
Tai Shi Ci was left to guard Liaodong to deter the Buyeo people in the north, the Goguryeo people in the east, and Sanhan in the south.
Guan Yu sat in Qingzhou to oversee military affairs, Wei Yan sat in Donghai County on the front line, and Guan Hai took Zang Ba and others to sit in Mount Tai to guard against Cao Cao.
Xu Huang and Hua Xiong sat in Baima and Ganling, and Huang Zhong sat in Zhongmu, Henan County, near Guandu, and formed a confrontation with Cao's army along the Yellow River.
Zhang Xiu sat in Wancheng, Nanyang, Zhang He sat in Ye County and Cao Jun confronted in the Yingchuan area, and at the same time guarded against the direction of Jingzhou, although Liu Biao had expressed enough goodwill to Liu Bei, but Liu Biao's control over Jingzhou was not strong, and he could not represent the Jingzhou family, especially after Liu Bei called the king of Han and attacked the family under his rule.
In addition, the navy, the navy is divided into three, Gan Ning, as the supreme commander of the navy, is specifically responsible for commanding the Yellow Sea Fleet, the young man Huang Xu does not want to mix with his old son, and he also throws himself into the endless sea, following Gan Ning's side to learn, with the name of the commander of the East China Sea Fleet who will become an independent army in the future, of course, the main responsibility now is to learn.
Jiang Qin is in charge of a piece alone, and the river fleet is in charge, and it is currently regarded as a second-class unit in the navy.
Zhou Tai led the Bohai Fleet and was responsible for the defense of Bohai Bay, Liaodong Bay, and West Korean Bay, that is, Lelang County, and also helped develop Lelang County.
Speaking of Lelang County, not to mention the Korean Peninsula, a little interesting thing happened here, except for Lelang County on the peninsula, it was sold by Wang Xuan and sold to the Zhen family and the Su family in Hebei to establish a vassal state.
Although there are three strategies to deal with the economic problems, but far from quenching the thirst of the near, the two families went bankrupt, and all the land and land stores were disposed of into cash, filling the treasury with more than 60 billion yuan at once, at least within a year, Tian Feng rose again, and his waist became stiff again.
Of course, theoretically speaking, although the Zhen family is also a family, it is not qualified to participate in the ranks of opening up vassal states, at least not qualified to participate in the first batch, not because of economic strength, but because of the lack of qualifications in the social status and talent reserve.
But put, some time ago, the Zhen family directly put a big move, and they had to marry a 15-year-old mushroom named Zhen Mi to the National Teacher's Mansion, Wang Xuan stopped doing it at that time, fifteen-year-old Lori, even if it is a childlike Julu, but this is not something that people do, do you know that the maximum start of three years is indefinite, although this is a matter of course in the Han Dynasty, but Wang Xuan is definitely not this kind of crazy person, so he sternly refused on the spot!
Wang Xuan's tone at that time was very stern and resolute, "No, absolutely not, we must wait until three years later, eighteen, this is my bottom line, and the bottom line is absolutely not allowed to be broken!" ”
The Zhen family begged bitterly, but Wang Xuan was unmoved, and in the end, the real family was both ashamed and admired, so they could only agree, but in the end, they would rather die and marry, but they could marry in three years, but they had to be sent to Wang Xuan's mansion now.
Wang Xuan couldn't bear it, and he took pity on the Zhen family, so in the end he could only reluctantly agree to it, and his face was ugly.
As a result, more than a dozen generals have heavy responsibilities in front of and behind, Liu Bei, as the master of the entire group of forces, is concerned about everyone's safety, and he also needs to leave enough force around him to protect his safety, and in the end, the remaining problems that can help Lu Bu solve are Zhao Yun and Gao Ran.
In addition, Zhang Fei, who is in charge of the military of the state, can also take his subordinates to participate in it at any time, of course, if he is transferred to Zhang Fei, there is a battle, where do you need Lu Bu to ask for help, they are all his own brothers, and he waited at the station outside the city early in the morning.
"Hahaha, Fengxian, Wenyuan, Zilong, you can be regarded as here, let's go, hurry up and I'll go to the barracks, the camp has prepared wine and food, just waiting for you to come." Seeing Lu Bu and the others getting out of the car from a distance, Zhang Fei laughed and greeted him.
"Drinking in the military?" Zhao Yun glanced at Zhang Fei with a smile.
Zhang Fei stiffened his neck, "What are you afraid of, I'm also here to entertain friendly troops, who can pick and choose!" ”
Hahahaha, everyone burst into laughter.
Clearing the Southern Huns is a fine job, Wang Xuan has confessed before leaving, can not kill all of them with one pole, as the grassland Hu people, the Nannu people are different from other Hu people, attached to the Han has been almost 400 years, these hundreds of years, many times the Xiongnu are as an important force of the Han cavalry for many years living in the Central Plains.
Long-term contact with the Han Dynasty, many of the Southern Huns can speak Chinese, many living habits are not much different from the Han people, the current Shan Yu Hu Chuquan has almost been involved in the Central Plains war, the current Zuoxian King Liu Bao is not able to see the difference with the Han people, Liu Bao's son Liu Yuan also divided the state and called the emperor, established the Han Zhao regime.
Speaking of Liu Bao, Wang Xuan remembered one thing, in history, this guy once took Cai Zhaoji to the grassland to live for 12 years, and even gave birth to two children!
Therefore, before leaving, Wang Xuan specially instructed Lu Bu, "The Southern Huns can accept prisoners as labor to build and annex the state, and they can be reassigned to the people afterwards, but their nobles need to be killed, especially Liu Bao, the king of Zuoxian, even if he runs away from Huchuquan, this Liu Bao must die!" ”
Although I don't know where Liu Bao offended Wang Xuan, it doesn't matter, Lu Bu recorded this matter in his heart.
The whole process of clearing and suppressing the southern Huns is basically the same as dealing with the Wuhuan people, out of Taiyuan County, after crossing the Great Wall pass is a horse Pingchuan, and expecting the Huns to honestly guard the border checkpoints, that is wishful thinking.
Therefore, under the planning of Chen Gong, Lu Bu led Zhang Liao and 20,000 cavalry to attack Jiuyuan City in Wuyuan County in the starry night, which was the lair of the Southern Xiongnu, and eliminated their political center in one fell swoop.
In fact, whether it is the Huns, the Xianbei or any other ethnic group on the grassland, the life of the low-level herdsmen is very difficult, which is worse than that of the Central Plains people.
At least the people of the Central Plains will not suffer disasters every year, and on the grassland, every winter is a disaster, the grass and trees are withered under the heavy snow, the big nobles are fine, ordinary herdsmen are difficult to maintain food and clothing, and the old people will simply go out of the tent and wait for death.
The grassland can feed a limited population, especially under the simple grazing system, which is also the reason for the annual southern invasion.
In this way, the low-level herdsmen, especially the Southern Xiongnu, are very yearning for the Han life, even if they are slaves, they are much stronger than before, not to mention the promise of returning to the ranks of the people after a certain number of years.
It took more than half a year before and after the clean-up work, and most of it was wasted on distribution and identification, and the advantage was that there was sufficient manpower in the follow-up development.
There is a way, the Yellow River is a set of harms, here is the future of Baotou, Inner Mongolia, the Hetao area is used for grazing is really tyrannical, its exploitable arable land reaches millions of acres, the grazing area reaches more than 30 million acres, can feed the population of millions or so, not to mention, there is also Baiyun Obo iron ore here.
With Liu Bei's support, it will serve as the development center of the central grassland, and the largest city on the grassland will be established.
