What Liu An didn't expect was that the Legan tribe was much more bloody than the Bart tribe.

The opponent only had more than 500 warriors, but in the face of Liu An's army, he made a defensive posture.

The ordinary people of the tribe did not hide in fear, but together with the warriors, they were armed with kitchen knives or sticks, as if they wanted to live and die with the tribe.

Liu An thought for a moment, and did not think of a peaceful solution.

Liu Bei and the four of them were summoned to discuss, and several people didn't have any ideas, so in desperation, Liu An could only lead his own soldiers to a place far away from the large army, and take out the twenty medium-sized throwing carts drawn by Bart when he attacked Jiuyuan last time.

He also sent people to transport the cart to the front of the Legan tribe, and at the same time asked his men to quickly collect the stones and transport them here.

By the time the stones were transported to the Legan tribe to fire four rounds of stone projectiles, the time had come to an end.

Seeing that the sky was about to get dark in another hour, Liu An did not wait any longer and ordered the stone bullet to be fired.

There were many people in the Legan tribe, scattered near the gate, and the target was large enough.

Medium-sized throwing trucks do not need to be accurately positioned, and can also cause great damage to the opponent.

With a roaring sound, the stone projectile was fired into the Legan tribe with great might.

Where had the people of the Legen tribe seen such a heavenly might, and when they were at a loss, they met the stone bullet with their bodies.

Dozens of people were immediately turned on their backs, some were directly smashed out of their brains and died on the spot, some were injured by stones, or stood or lay down covering their wounds and grinning loudly.

Taking advantage of the enemy's chaos and no time to pay attention to the main gate, Liu An asked his men to carry the collected stones and send a huge log to the gate of the Legan tribe.

The Xianbei are mainly nomadic, they have no fixed residence, and they will change enemies every once in a while.

Therefore, the camp is not firmly built, but simply fenced off to prevent jackals and other fierce things at night.

Dozens of ropes dragged the logs and attached them to the shoulders of the soldiers on both sides, and the leader shouted slogans, and everyone acted together, slamming into the gate of the Legan tribe, and with only a few strokes, the gate was broken.

At this time, the second round of stone bullets had also been loaded, and Liu An immediately ordered a projectile to cover the soldiers who hit the door and calmly withdrew.

Faced with a stone bullet that could hit him at any time, the people of the Legan tribe were in chaos.

The leader of the five hundred warriors, when he saw that the gate was breached, wanted to lead people to defend, but the dense stone bullets were the main targets of the attack, and when the stone bullets smashed on the warriors, the warriors who had just calmed down were in chaos again, and they could not block the gate at all.

After the stone bomb was fired, Liu An saw that the gate was open, so he led his army to rush in.

He was protected by 100 soldiers on his left and right, while the other side was only about 500 people, so there was not much danger.

Liu An was holding a spear made of meteoric iron, and after his strength increased to 60 points, he learned to use the spear without a teacher.

Of course, with such a low level of force, the spearmanship will definitely not be very exquisite.

But it was enough to deal with these five hundred ordinary Xianbei warriors.

Rushing into the Xianbei army, Liu An provoked the tip of the gun and killed two people in a row.

After coming to the Eastern Han Dynasty for more than half a year, Liu An has seen countless dead people and given countless orders to kill someone.

He has long since gone from being resolutely resistant to murder to being indifferent.

After killing the third person, an arrow flew from a distance and shot at Liu An's chest.

It's just that Liu An was wearing the pearlescent scale armor produced by the system, and the arrow was shot on the hard heart goggles, which would not cause a trace of impact on Liu An's chest, so he fell down.

At this time, Lu Bu and Zhang Fei rushed not far from the enemy leader at the same time, and the two of them rushed to kill the enemy army in front of them with a halberd and a spear, and rushed towards the leader.

The Legan tribe can still organize such a stubborn resistance when its own leader is dead, and the leader is naturally not a soft egg who is greedy for life and afraid of death.

In the face of the sniping of Zhang Fei and Lu Bu's two fierce generals, he was not afraid, and did not have the slightest idea of escaping, but chose one of the two and rode his horse to meet him.

Watching the people in the tribe die one after another, this person already had the will to die, he carried the ring head knife with a sad face, and slashed at Zhang Fei with a loud shout.

The surrounding Xianbei soldiers saw that the leader was fearless, and they also cooperated with him to launch a fierce attack on Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei was surrounded in the middle, and the Zhangba snake spear danced quickly, swaying left and right to instantly break the necks of the two people, and then looked back and pierced the enemy army who wanted to sneak attack from behind.

Then he swept away, avoided the enemy on one side, and slapped his horse to meet the enemy leader.

This leader had some courage, and in the face of Zhang Fei's spear tip that stabbed into his chest at great speed, he actually blocked it with the handle of the ring head knife at the last moment.

However, immediately after, Zhang Fei's palm slammed into the back end of the Zhangba Snake Spear, and the opponent's ring head knife broke in response, and the tip of the spear instantly pierced into the opponent's heart.

Zhang Fei used his strength to pick up the corpse of the other party, held it in the air, and shouted: "The thief has been killed by me, you won't surrender soon, but when!" ”

Liu An saw Zhang Fei beheading the enemy leader from a distance, and also shouted loudly: "The thief has been executed, and you can avoid death if you surrender!" ”

The surrounding soldiers also took advantage of the free time of the fight and shouted 'surrender or kill'.

Gao Shun relayed Liu An's words in Xianbei language, and the cavalry of the Keshi tribe saw this and persuaded them to surrender together.

After the death of the enemy leader, the Legan tribe resisted for a short time, and gradually some people dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender.

With someone taking the lead, the number of people who surrendered gradually increased.

After the battle, Liu An counted the losses of both sides, only to find that all the more than 500 warriors of the Legen tribe were killed, and none of them surrendered or fled.

Such a result made Liu An can't help but admire the Legan who has never met.

But he was also glad that he had chosen the Raksh tribe at the beginning, and if he had chosen the Legan tribe at that time, even if he had captured Legan alive, he might not have been able to force him down.

In that case, he will not be able to carry out a series of plans after that.

However, like the Legen tribe, it is the image of Liu Anxinzhong's Xianbei nomadic warriors.

Those who are greedy for life and fear of death and surrender easily should only be a few.

Otherwise, Liu An, who had already wiped out the two major tribes before, should not only receive the dependence of the three tribes, but at least half of it.

In this battle, Liu An's command lost nearly 600 soldiers, but nearly 500 of them were the original Xianbei cavalry, and the cavalry trained by Zhang Fei and Lu Bu was only less than 100.

More than 7,000 people descended from the Legen tribe, and more than 3,000 Han Chinese were captured.

After pacifying the Han captives, Liu An took them all to live in the Bat tribe.

After that, Liu An left Zhang Fei and Lu Bu and ordered him to lead his cavalry to guard the prisoners of the Legen tribe, and asked Liu Bei to lead the infantry to clean up the battlefield.

The whole army rested for one day, and on the second day, Liu An arranged for everyone to prepare to return to Jiuyuan.

After the end of the grassland war, Liu An's cumulative contribution has reached 5,016 points.

A total of more than 42,000 Xianbei ordinary people and more than 5,000 Xianbei warriors were accommodated, including the Bat tribe, the Qikeshi tribe, the Legen tribe, and the three small tribes of Toucheng.

The Han captives brought back were about 20,000 people, many of whom were grateful to Liu An, secretly expressed their loyalty to Liu An, and were accepted by the system.

However, there are also many who are loyal to the Han Dynasty and have not become Liu An's vassals.

Xianbei prisoners, Han prisoners, and the 3,600 soldiers brought by Liu An, the troops back to Jiuyuan expanded to nearly 70,000!

In addition, there were a lot of money and grain, cattle and horses, sheep, and all kinds of seized supplies.

In this regard, Liu An had to sigh that war is really the fastest way to get rich quickly, no wonder so many people are keen on war.

But after all, war is a double-edged sword, and if you are not careful, you will not only lose your wealth, but your own life.

Moreover, the greatest benefit of the war is limited to the leader of the victorious side, who is nothing more than a pawn for his own ends.

Those ordinary people who were affected by the battle were even more innocent.

Therefore, although Liu An lamented the huge gains in this war, he would never become a madman who was keen on war because of this.

Because there were so many things that needed to be packed, by the sixth day after the end of the Legan tribal war, everyone was still not fully prepared.

Calculating the time, it has been almost half a month since the tribes of Xianbei in the west asked for help from Xianbei in the central part of the country, and the reinforcements from the Xianbei in the central part may already be on the way.

Therefore, although there were still a lot of things that could be packed up, Liu An still gave the order to leave early the next morning on the evening of the sixth day.

The march of nearly 70,000 men was more than a little slower than when they came.

In particular, there were many Han captives who had been subjected to inhumane treatment for many years and were severely undernourished.

Looking for this speed to continue, Liu An was worried that before he entered the Han realm, he would be stopped by the support of Xianbei in the central part of the country.

In desperation, Liu An could only divide 500 cavalry to explore the east, and once he found that a large enemy army appeared within 100 miles, he would report immediately.

On the way back to Jiuyuan, before resting at night, Liu An would gather all the high-level officials to come and discuss the solution to the conflict between the Xianbei and Han people.

After much deliberation, I finally came up with a feasible method.

After learning from others' strengths, Liu An summarized the specific implementation methods:

First, after returning to Jiuyuan, the Han captives identified the most heinous crimes among the Xianbei captives, selected 100 serious crimes, counted their crimes, and then beheaded them in public to vent the anger of the Han people.

After that, the Xianbei captives were scattered to settle in the counties of Wuyuan to prevent people from gathering and rioting.

Then set up a special agency in each county to deal with the contradictions between the Xianbei and the Han people, and if there was a dispute or fight between the Han and the Xianbei people, all of them would be handed over to this institution to deal with.

At the same time, it is stipulated that the Xianbei people are equal to the Han people, and they jointly enjoy the protection and constraints of the Han law.

Anyone who dares to violate the Han law must be dealt with severely.

Of course, if the Xianbei people violated the Han law, the punishment they received would definitely be heavier than that of the Han people, and Liu An did not need to say this explicitly, and the officials in various places would deal with it in this way.

In addition, the young single women in the Xianbei captives, whether they were unmarried or who had died after marriage, were selected by the government and distributed free of charge to single men in Wuyuan.

If Liu An wants to solve the problem of people's livelihood in Wuyuan, in addition to improving productivity, it is to rapidly increase the population of Wuyuan.

The border county is vast and sparsely populated, and he can't watch so much fertile land that can be cultivated continue to be wasted, and he needs the population to make large-scale use of the land in Wuyuan.

This is a long-term plan, not something that can be done in a while, but if you do it early, you can reap the results as soon as possible.

Therefore, Liu An's plan to encourage childbirth will also be put on the agenda later, but the specific implementation method needs to be further finalized.

From Jiuyuan to the Kesh tribe, it took Liu An and his party seven days when they came, but it took a whole month to go back!

Fortunately, I don't know if the central Xianbei didn't plan to send reinforcements at all, or if they had time to catch up in the future, the cavalry sent by Liu An to investigate the intelligence never found any trace of the Xianbei army.

On this day, Liu An's army successfully arrived at Jiuyuan City.

Taishou Lin Fang received the news of the return of Liu An's army a few days ago, and when Liu An's army reached Jiuyuan, he took a group of officials in the county to wait outside the city gate to greet him.

Seeing the Taishou Lin Fang and the officials, Liu An immediately stepped forward to salute Lin Fang.

Because there are too many county officials, it is impossible for Liu An to use the death card, so among the officials who greeted him, there were also many outsiders.

Liu An is the county magistrate, Lin Fang is too guarded, and the basic etiquette of superiors and subordinates still has to be observed.

Lin Fang helped Liu An up, greatly praised Liu An's merits, and said that he would show his merits to the imperial court.

Liu An asked his soldiers to camp outside the city, and only took Lu Bu and Liu Bei and a hundred guards into the city with Lin Fang.

The people in the city have heard that the county magistrate Liu An led people to destroy many tribes in the grassland, and at this time Liu An led people back to celebrate in the city, and the haze of being humiliated by Xianbei for many years was swept away.

There were many wealthy people in their families who held baskets containing eggs, meat, food and other best gifts they could give to Liu An.

Liu An thanked them one by one, but did not accept a gift from anyone.

It was already an hour before I entered the Prime Minister's Office.

After Lin Fangping retired from the officials, the smile on his face disappeared, and he said to Liu An gloomily: "The person who was sent to Luoyang to ask for the reduction and exemption of Wuyuan Tianfu has returned, but the imperial court does not allow it, alas! ”

This result was expected by Liu An, and he had long had no expectations for the Han court, so he did not feel any sense of loss and frustration.

But at this time, he made a great contribution to the conquest of Xianbei, but he had the capital to pull with the imperial court.

Then he said to Lin Fang: "In this case, Brother Shou Ju can make it clear in the merit book that I, Liu An, don't want to be rewarded, but only want to exchange my meager merit for three years." However, the merits of my subordinates Zhang Fei, Lu Bu and others cannot be left behind. Tonight, I will write down in detail the meritorious service of Xianbei and their contributions, and I can hand them over to Brother Shoujie tomorrow. ”

Shou is Lin Fang's word, since Lin Fang became Liu An's dead soldier, for his cousins, Liu An called Lin Fang so.

Lin Fang's age is about ten years older than Liu An, and he can also be regarded as a peer, so it is not rude to call him so.

"This ...... With the merits of the Ming Duke in this battle, and the fact that the Ming Duke was already a clan member of the Han family, the feudal marquis is not a problem, why should he ......"

Liu An shook his head and interrupted Lin Fangdao: "I have been running Wuyuan for more than half a year, and this place can be used as my foundation. Is there any harshness in dealing with the foundation people? This time, I used my military merits in exchange for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and when this matter spreads, the people of Wuyuan will only know me Liu An, but not the Han court, with the position of a marquis, in exchange for the people of a county to be attached, why not? ”

When Lin Fang heard Liu An say this, he also felt reasonable, so he stopped persuading.

Liu An continued: "And I am young now, even if I can be promoted to Taishou, I will be stopped by the people in the court and China on the grounds that I am too young to take on the responsibility, and at best I will move the rich county to the county magistrate." The foundation here is not stable, there is still a lot of room for improvement, I don't want to move to another place for the time being, in this case, it is better to exchange military merits for the people of a county to annex. ”

In addition, the marquis's fief can only be eaten but not cured, and the people under his rule are still recognized as a big man, and they will not be accepted by the system, and it is useless for Liu An to come, just to increase some income and fame.

But Liu An did not say this, even if it was his own dead man, Liu An did not plan to reveal the existence of the system to him.
