As mentioned last time, after the first division entered Guanzhong again, Zhang Bao received a news that stunned him, which can also be said to be a shocking news, that is, the Xianbei cavalry was defeated and lost.

After receiving the news from the herald, Zhang Bao, who was shocked, didn't care about anything else, and immediately ordered the large army to withdraw from the state of touring the mountains and rivers, and hurried to meet the defeated Xianbei cavalry.

In the end, the 1st Division finally met the defeated Xianbei cavalry in Wugong County. Wugong County belongs to Fufeng County, located in the west of the Guanzhong Plain, its south is the Wei River, the seat of Taicheng (now southwest of Yangling), only 150 miles away from Chang'an.

As the saying goes, the defeat is like a mountain, after the Xianbei cavalry was defeated, they were chased and killed all the way for ten miles, if it were not for the arrival of the first division, they might continue to rout. Zhang Bao immediately gave an order to help the Xianbei cavalry stabilize their positions and collect the rout.

And the way to stabilize the position is very simple, that is, to send troops to block the pursuing Wei army. If it was when the Xianbei cavalry had just been defeated, Zhang Bao did not dare to let his troops go up to meet it, and the army that had just been defeated was like the tide of the Qiantang River, if it stood in its way and was slapped by it, it would be dead.

In that case, the only way to do this is to open the gap and let the rout pass like a flood, otherwise, your own troops will also be scattered, and it will turn into a total rout.

However, now that they have fled for ten miles, the ranks have long since dispersed, and the density of the rout is already very low, and the soldiers of the 1st Division can completely penetrate the rout~ interspersed.

Zhang Bao sent three regiments of the First Brigade out to block the enemy, because the cross-section of the entire rout corps was very large, and the First Division had to fight on a very long front.

The remaining two brigades came out in one brigade to collect the Xianbei cavalry, and the last brigade was on standby, ready to meet the three regiments in the vanguard. The three regiments soon advanced to the end of the Xianbei rout, and then formed a long defensive line over the field.

Fortunately, the Wei River is on the south side here, otherwise the defense line would have to be extended to the south, in which case the strength of the three regiments would not be enough.

As soon as the defensive line was settled, the Wei pursuers arrived, and when they encountered such an elite firearms unit as the 1st Division, they were routed without any suspense. Rushing to the front, the Wei soldiers who were most eager for meritorious service were all beaten into a hornet's nest, and those behind were frightened, turned around and ran, and no longer dared to chase forward.

The Wei pursuers on the front line were successfully blocked, and the two brigades in the back could finally calmly collect the routs in the back. Since the battle situation on the front line was good, there was no need to respond or reinforce, in order to speed up the speed of collecting the rout, Zhang Bao sent the brigade that was originally preparing to meet the first brigade to collect the rout.

Rao is like this, and it took two whole days to gather back about 20,000 people, and in the next three days, some people came back one after another, and finally counted the men and horses, nearly 40,000 Xianbei cavalry, only a little more than 20,000.

That is to say, during the "vacation" of Zhang Bao and the First Division, more than 10,000 Xianbei cavalry were wiped out. Zhang Bao hated her teeth and her heart hurt to death. Although it is said that the Xianbei people are alien races, and they have invaded the Central Plains before, killed many Han people, and looted countless goods, but now they have been submitted, these are the strength of Shu Han, and it is one of his dependents.

This time, he entered Hanzhong alone and slaughtered the Quartet, and he would inevitably not be able to replenish his troops for a long time, at this time, every point of strength is very precious, even if it is a Xianbei cavalry, it can't be wasted in vain.

Unexpectedly, after only a few days of walking away, Su Li lost more than 10,000 Xianbei cavalry, and Zhang Bao is now eager to slap Su Li to death. He didn't want to think about it, compared to him, Su Li lost his own people, people, and subordinates, and his sadness was probably more than ten times stronger than him.

Soon, Su Li returned, he was carried by the rout, and had run thirty miles away, but later learned that Zhang Bao had gathered the rout here, and he found it the next day.

Zhang Bao called him with a black face to understand the situation. If it had been someone else, he would have been scolded by him for being bloody, with such a superior force, he was beaten so miserably in such a short period of time, is he a pig's head?

However, Su Li is also the person who was named the king of Xianbei, and he is the honorary supreme leader of the entire Xianbei tribe today, he has an army, a people, a territory, and he is also a character, but he can't be scolded casually.

It is wartime, and in this northern front army, he needs to be temporarily restrained by Zhang Bao, but if he changes to peacetime, his status is no worse than Zhang Bao.

Even, to a certain extent, Su Li's status is higher than Zhang Bao, for example, if there is no war in the future, everyone will resign from their military positions, then in terms of titles alone, Zhang Bao is at most a marquis, and Su Li is a prince, and there is a duke between the two.

Of course, the gold content of Suli's prince is far inferior to that of the real prince of the imperial court, and the Han Dynasty has regulations that the opposite sex is not allowed to be crowned king, otherwise it will be regarded as a thief. Therefore, people like Zhang Bao and Guan Xing, no matter how great their merits are, no matter how good their relationship with the little emperor is, it is impossible to be crowned king.

Like Cao Cao, when he was named the king of Wei, it has actually shown that he already has a heart of disobedience, and in fact, the government is indeed in his hands. It is precisely because of this that even if he did not become the emperor in the end, but his son became the emperor, the world still regarded him as a rebellious minister and thief, and even later generations regarded him as a traitor.

The Han people can't be crowned kings of the opposite sex, but it's okay for a different race like Pixelly. The court has always rewarded these foreign races, and the ministers of the court have never objected to this, because they all know that this is just a means to entrap them, and this king is not the same as the other king, so it should not be true.

This kind of prince is only equivalent to an honorary title, there is no corresponding welfare treatment, and the fiefs are basically in the original territories of these alien races, and the imperial court cannot control these territories at all, so it is better to be generous to others and give them these places.

Giving back other people's places to others in exchange for the apparent submission of these people to them is a kind of political trick played between the imperial court and these aliens. The sedan chair carries people, everyone cheers each other, each takes what they need, and then the domestic frontiers are all happy, how good it sounds.

Therefore, in terms of reputation, the status of Suli, the Xianbei King, is much higher than that of Zhang Bao, the marquis, but in terms of benefits, or gold content, Zhang Bao's marquis is much higher. For a title like Zhang Bao, the imperial court has Lu rice (or salary) every year, and they are equivalent to state cadres, holding iron rice bowls and gold rice bowls to eat public grain.

As for foreign kings like Suli, not only did the court not pay them salaries, but they also had to pay tribute to the court every year. Of course, sometimes the court will give them something in return, and the reward may be more than what they paid tribute, but that also depends on the emperor's mood, if the emperor is unhappy with the king, it is okay not to give it back.

Therefore, these alien kings are equivalent to self-financed private companies, and it is up to them to earn more or less, and the money they earn has to pay a tax to the state. If the relationship with the national leader is good, maybe you will be given a tax refund, and even some animal husbandry subsidy policy will be issued to support you, and if the relationship with the leader is not good, then wait for the state violence organs to come to the door to find trouble.
