In the following half a month, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Pang De's three troops were separated by more than 100 miles and attacked frantically, but all the Xianbei tribes with clear directions or other Zahu tribes that they didn't know where they belonged were swept away by them.

Kill those who resist, arrest those who surrender, help logistics, and can't manage so much on the march, death is death, and if you can return to Zhuojun with them alive to tell fortunes, you can continue to devote yourself to the great cause of building Youzhou.

During this period of time, Zhang Fei and Pang De have accumulated more than 20,000 victories, killing many enemies and capturing a large number of people.

For the rest, even Liu Bei didn't have the heart to care.

In half a month, he successively defeated three Xianbei tribes, some large and some small, with a total of more than 10,000, more than 80,000 prisoners, and more than 400,000 horses and livestock, and the scale was already very large.

So at the moment, it is no longer a question of whether the army has logistics or not, it is a question of not being able to eat meat for four meals a day.

The soldiers ate meat and drank broth every day, and their faces were full of red light and full of strength, and the war did not make people thinner, but fought more lean.

Even a lot of soldiers are angry about this, and even miss those unremarkable looking pancakes, if it weren't for the accompanying surrender of some Xianbei people, Wuhuan people can also dig up some wild vegetables to adjust and adjust, it is estimated that some people will really can't stand it.

And because of the poor marching conditions and cold weather, many livestock died because of this, and the loss was quite large, which made Liu Bei feel a little distressed.

But there is no way, this is doomed war attrition.

At the end of February, when the three troops communicated with each other, they learned that they had achieved great results, and that if they continued to fight, they would have reached their limit.

So Liu Bei gave up the idea of continuing to advance, announced that the first phase of the Northern Expedition was temporarily suspended, and the three armies met in the north of Youbeiping County, and advanced south with a huge war capture, and entered Youbeiping County on the first day of March, and crossed the Great Wall on the third day of March and advanced towards Yuyang County.

On the seventh day of the third month, the exhausted army arrived in Yuyang County, Yuyang County, ending the Northern Expedition.

Although the scheduled Northern Expedition was not completely completed, about a third of the road was still unfinished.

However, they have indeed done a good job, even beyond the ordinary, and no one will criticize them for not making it to the last third.

The three armies of the Northern Expedition for a month wiped out more than 40 grassland tribes, killing more than 40,000 people together, bringing back more than 300,000 men and women alive, more than 60,000 war horses brought back alive, and the rest of the living cattle, sheep and horses and other livestock cannot be counted for the time being.

The number of people and livestock who died due to the harsh marching environment was actually very large, but the exact number could not be counted.

Coupled with the previous gains in Youzhou, it can be said that this wave, the eastern Xianbei and Youzhou Wuhuan were basically wiped out, and even some tribes in the central Xianbei were affected-

Xianbei in the central part is considered lucky, this wave of Liu Bei's army is really tired and unable to continue the Northern Expedition, so there are still some tribes that have not been affected, and they can be regarded as escaping death.

When Liu Bei returned to Yuyang County, he was too tired and fell asleep quickly, and fell asleep with all the soldiers who came back from the Northern Expedition, and woke up after sleeping for a day and a night.

During his campaign, Northern Expedition, and sleep, because the original command system of the government in Youzhou was basically destroyed, a large number of officials died and fled, so it was the general's mansion and his subordinates who he brought from Luoyang, as well as hundreds of students from the Liangzhou Prefecture who were transferred eastward.

Because they felt that Youzhou would become a very good place for training this time, they were brought to Youzhou by Liu Bei and joined it as attachés of the General's Mansion as firefighters.

Because many counties are too dead and missing, it is impossible to achieve effective docking, and there are not many counties in Youzhou, so the General's Mansion directly erased the difference between counties and counties at this stage, and set up its headquarters in Yuyang County, and the General's Mansion directly connected to every county that can be contacted and confirmed the situation.

If the county magistrate is still in office and competent, then use it directly.

If the prefectural commander is no longer in office for various reasons, then the attaché of the General's Mansion will be dispatched to serve as the temporary acting prefectural commander to preside over the work and connect with the General's Office.

Of course, a person from the Great General's Mansion can't support the administrative work of a state, even if the population of Youzhou is very small, but it is still not enough.

Therefore, they also found all the officials and officials they could find, and brought them all under the management system of the General's Mansion, and temporarily appointed them with some responsibilities, so that they could start working immediately without any doubts.

During the more than two months that Liu Bei conquered Liaodong and the Northern Expedition to the grasslands, the General's Mansion under his command temporarily supported the administrative work of Youzhou and the post-war clean-up work in this way, and it did quite well.

With the deepest qualifications and the oldest age, Changshi Manzhong undertook the main logistical work and the distribution and resettlement of war captures.

Zhang Hong, Zhang Zhao, Chen Qun, Zhong Xuan, Mao Jue, Wang Shang, Qin Mi, Zhao Wei and other officials of the general's mansion were busy around these things.

Many of them were sent to counties without county orders to temporarily act as county commanders to handle affairs, and while handling local county affairs, they also had to go back to the headquarters to report news, running back and forth, and they were really tired enough.

Every day and every hour there is the latest news coming, every latest news must be summarized, changes must be made at any time, and then handed over to the full pet for comprehensive sorting.

After the full favor was dealt with, he sent the news back to the Luoyang court, so that the officials in the court and the little emperor knew what Liu Bei's war results were.

Coupled with the very heavy logistics and seizure and resettlement work, they have a very good administrative quality if they don't tire people out of poverty.

Mao Jue, who worked the hardest and had the most energy, set a record of three days and two nights without closing his eyes, and after the most difficult set of work was completed, he fainted directly and woke up after a day and a night.

Of course, as the actual controller of the General's Mansion at this stage, Man Pet is also very conscientious, getting up earlier than the chicken, sleeping later than the ghost, and getting up to continue working after resting for more than two hours a day, and the dark circles under his eyes are quickly on top.

They worked so hard day and night, and finally when Liu Bei was desperately crusing, they didn't drop the chain and didn't let the backyard catch fire.

They managed the prisoners of war very well, and carried out the work of sending the rescued people back to their hometowns according to their origins, which was the first step for the reconstruction of the region.

Of course, they were still a little worried about the large number of prisoners of war of various races.

So many people, so many mouths to eat, even if they are only given a simple meal a day these days, it is still a large food expenditure, and it can be encouraged to maintain it at present, and after a long time, I am afraid that this food supply will not be able to be supplied.

If Liu Bei didn't have any more proper arrangements, it would be better to kill them all.

However, Man Zhong mentioned Liu Bei's practice of dealing with the 300,000 Xianbei prisoners of war in Liangzhou back then.

"I heard that in Liangzhou, the general adopted the method of allowing all the women of childbearing age to the people of Liangzhou, and incorporated them into the household registration, adding more than 100,000 people to Liangzhou, I think this time, the general also has the same idea, to add more than 100,000 people to Youzhou."

Chen Qun thought for a while and wondered, "Then what about the part of women who are not of childbearing age?" ”

Full Pet looked at Chen Qun.

"All those who have special skills are singled out, such as those who can herd, raise livestock, make special food, and those who can make some grassland specialties.

The rest, all for hard labor, road repair, city repair, water conservancy projects, bridges, wherever can be used, all used, and then to the Liangzhou army transportation logistics are also used for them, Liangzhou people for this deeply grateful for the general's kindness, to them to reduce a lot of trouble. ”

"Oh, that's a good thing to do."

Chen Qun nodded and said: "Youzhou has indeed suffered heavy losses after this catastrophe, and if you don't resume production as soon as possible and step up reconstruction, it is estimated that many people will die because of this." ”

"Speaking of which, this Youzhou chaos is indeed very serious, I am very worried that this time there will be unfavorable statements against the general in the court, haven't those people from the Jinwen School already lectured on attacking the general?"

Zhong Xuan, who had been immersed in writing official documents, suddenly raised his head and looked at Man Chong: "Man Changshi, you said that if someone wants to make a suggestion to punish the general on this matter, what will other people in the court think?" ”

"Opinion?"

Man Pet sneered without raising his head: "When they see hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war, millions of livestock, and a peaceful frontier, I want to see what they think!"

They want to punish the general, but they also want to ask me if the Northern Expedition army agrees! Do they think that in this world now, they still have the final say? It's Gongsun Zhan, who should definitely die. ”
