Over the years, although Liu Bei has continuously transferred some veteran sergeants from these three armies to join other recruit corps as officers or instructors, the combat effectiveness of these three armies is still unique.

Before and after the three cavalry armies were officially formed, they followed Liu Bei to achieve many brilliant victories on the Liangzhou battlefield, the Hebei battlefield and the Youzhou battlefield, smashed the Xianbei and Wuhuan people, and scared the rest away.

And when the Xianbei and Wuhuan people were still there, Liaodong was the absolute leader.

The Buyeo people and the Goguryeo people are really not enough to see, and a round of charging can be regarded as giving them face.

Goguryeo King Yiyimo and Buyeo King Captain Qiutai fell to their lives in the embarrassment of defeat, and did not hold out until they returned to the royal city, but were chased by the Han cavalry on the road and then killed.

Originally, the Han army still wanted to capture them, but they didn't expect that these two people were unlucky, and they couldn't survive in the chaos.

After their deaths, the cavalry of the Han army chased them to their royal city, and according to the order of the recruit, they arrested all their upper echelons, and then killed them all.

After the destruction of the royal city, the destruction of the royal family, and even the officials were served in a pot, the newly formed civilizations of Buyeo and Goguryeo were completely destroyed, and these two countries were also considered to be finished.

The symbol of their civilization and rule is the royal city, and the people in the royal city, and after the royal city and the people in the royal city are destroyed, they will have nothing left.

A pitiful cultural accumulation was burned by the Han army, and two royal cities were destroyed by the Han army, and the destruction of these two countries is a fact that can never be reversed.

As for those who are still on the run, there is nothing to care about, anyway, sooner or later they will die, or be caught, and they will lose the ability to inherit civilization, and there is no possibility of recovering the country.

The next military operation was the capture of prisoners, the sweep, and the sweep of some of the tribes around the two countries.

The war is not over, it is still going on, but the main enemy has been destroyed, from the beginning of the war to the destruction of the royal city, from the existence of the state to the actual destruction of the state, it is only four or five days before and after.

There has been a gap between the strong national strength of the Han Empire and the surrounding countries that is wider than the distance between the Milky Way, and compared to this, it is not so difficult for the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl to meet each other.

But what's even funnier is that Xiahou Yuan and Pang De feel that they haven't had a good time, the enemy is too weak, and it will be over with one impact, and it feels like they are not fighting, but chopping melons and vegetables, and catching pigs.

This made his face turn green with anger.

You're still not satisfied?

I didn't even go to the battlefield to kill people, and you are embarrassed to say in front of me that you are not happy?

How can your mouths speak such cold words?

After the destruction of Goguryeo and Buyeo, except for a cavalry that continued to explore eastward, most of the main forces of the Han army turned around and began to march south.

To the south, there is the settlement of the Dongwofu people, which is their range of activities, and a little further south is the range of activities of the Sanhan and some other semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural peoples who do not know their nationality, and they will all become the spoils of the Han army without exception.

Because Xiahou Yuan and Pang De didn't have a good fight, they soon continued to lead their troops south.

The speed of the cavalry was terrifying, and they wouldn't have any worries—

After the establishment of the Third Reich, the Takahashi saddle and horseshoes had been fully promoted by Liu Bei, and the serious damage to the hooves of war horses was no longer a serious problem.

One of the biggest problems of the ancient Chinese cavalry was that the horseshoes were not introduced and used on a large scale in time, so that in the era of strong cavalry, the loss rate of the horses was always too high because of the wear and tear of the horses' hooves, which consumed too much capital and military resources, so that the results could not be expanded in time.

Just like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty a decisive battle in Mobei, scrapped war horses more than three percent, over the years many cavalry decisive battles, the loss rate of war horses remains high, although it is said that millions of war horses are raised, but the battle of Mobei decisive battle, really can not withstand their several fights.

The huge cavalry losses were an important reason why the Han army was unable to further expand the size and results of the cavalry.

It's just too expensive.

And Liu Bei's side, in order to ensure that no other enemy would master the horseshoe at the same time, deliberately hidden, but also to bear a large war horse loss rate, a large-scale high-intensity cavalry battle down, the war horse loss rate will also exceed thirty percent.

When he became the strongest force and there were no strong enemies around, Liu Bei equipped all the cavalry with Gaoqiao saddles and horseshoes, which instantly caused the combat effectiveness of the Han cavalry to skyrocket, and the loss rate of war horses also greatly decreased.

The use of horse equipment such as the Takahashi saddle, which was very suitable for horse combat, freed the hands of the cavalry, and allowed them to successfully perform difficult horse tactical maneuvers without the need for the harsh and lengthy training of the past, and the means of combat were greatly expanded.

It can be said that the cavalry of the Han army, which was originally very elite, suddenly became a flying tiger.

As for the introduction of horseshoes, it directly caused many cavalrymen to hold the neck of their beloved war horses and cry bitterly.

Not sad, of course, but excited.

The soldiers wept bitterly, on the one hand, they remembered the horses they had to leave because of their damaged hooves, and on the other hand, they were ecstatic that they would not be separated from their horses so often, so they shed tears of emotion.

On the battlefield, the relationship between the cavalry and the war horse is very deep, and an excellent war horse can even save the owner's life at a critical moment.

The first thing many cavalrymen do after nailing their beloved horses is to ride their beloved horses around and have fun until they are tired to death, and their war horses are also tired to death.

This is of course a good thing, not only allowing the cavalry to have stronger combat ability and endurance, but also a good thing to greatly reduce the cost of cavalry.

So the army was happy, and the household and the Shaofu were also very happy.

This is a good thing.

Since then, Shaofu and Hubu have calculated an account together, believing that after these two types of equipment are introduced into the cavalry army, the funds saved for the breeding of war horses and the disposal of damaged war horses are enough for Liu Bei to establish a strong cavalry of more than 30,000 people.

Even the introduction and installation of these new equipment has permanently changed the difficulty of cavalry training and the difficulty of cavalry formation, greatly reducing the cost of training, and this part of the cost savings will save Liu Bei about 20,000 cavalry funds.

The number of cavalry equal to the Third Reich could go to more than 100,000 in an instant.

In this regard, Liu Bei was naturally happy, and began to prepare a military plan to transform the two new army garrisoned in Luoyang into a cavalry army, and planned to add more cavalry troops in the future, increase the number of cavalry of the Han army, and strive to let the Han army realize all-mule and horse-based mobile combat, and move closer to the peak Tang army in terms of maneuver speed.

At present, the two elite cavalry of the Xiao Cavalry Army and the Leopard Cavalry Army are equivalent to fighting crazy in the land of Liaodong.

The first war destroyed the main army of Buyeo and Goguryeo, and then destroyed the country in the first war, and after two battles, the two countries were destroyed.

In the early days of the formation of the Eastern Wofu, due to the oscillation of its jurisdiction between the four counties of the Han Dynasty and Goguryeo, the Eastern Wofu was never able to form an independent state, and then during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Wofu became a vassal of Goguryeo, and since then it has basically followed the Goguryeo movement.

Despite this, the level of civilization of the Dongwofu people is relatively low, even inferior to that of the Goguryeo people, their houses are still semi-crypt style, the main utensils used are pottery, and the level of civilization is basically before the class society, and there is no sign of the use of bronze tools.

According to the Dongyuan secret agent, this group of people has nothing to say about civility and other things, they just follow Goguryeo to do things, and they do whatever Goguryeo tells them to do, and they have almost no political opinions of their own.

This is also natural, a relatively primitive tribal group, which has not even formed a unified regime, what political claims can it have of its own?

However, judging from their past behavior of following the Goguryeo people to invade the four Han counties many times, the surprise attack of the Han army is not regarded as wronging them, but can only be regarded as deserved.

Dealing with the Goguryeo people, the cavalry of the Han army still wiped out the country in two battles, so dealing with this group of people, there is no head-on confrontation at all, it is completely a one-sided slaughtering attack.

The largest revolt of the Dongwofu lasted less than a stick of incense, and basically the Han cavalry discovered their ethnic settlement, the Han cavalry attacked, and the Dongwofu people launched a brief resistance before collapsing and the battle ended.

The whole battle to eliminate the Dongwofu people was about twenty-three days, and under the crisscross of the cavalry, the main time of the Han army was spent on rushing and cleaning up the battlefield after the battle.

After the battle, the Han army captured nearly 200,000 Dongwofu people, seized their grain production, captured their poultry, and, as before, used the captured supplies as supplies for the cavalry to continue the southward battle, and launched a third battle.

This third operation was aimed at the Samhan forces in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula at that time.

Samhan is not a country in the traditional sense, but more like a tribal alliance, and the local spies call the tribes of Samhan a country, believing that there are 76 large and small countries in Sanhan, with thousands of large and small households, and a total population of about 400 or 500,000.

Their civilization level is higher than that of the Dongwofu people, they are good at farming, weaving, rich in products, and people close to the sea often take boats to the territory of the Han Empire to find people to do business and trade, so there should be something in fact, but the overall organization is relatively stretched.

Of course, this pull is also relative to the Han Empire, and for them, among the more than 70 small tribes, there are still some more powerful existences.

But that doesn't make much sense anymore.

The Han army is coming.

The two madmen, Xiahou Yuan and Pang De, came.

In fact, he hoped that Xiahou Yuan and Pang De could be a little less arrogant and leave him some soup and water, but he soon realized that these two guys who were about to go crazy and thirsty for military merit were irrational, so he had to lead his headquarters to join the battle for military merit.

In the month-long Sanhan eradication operation, Pang De's department wiped out 27 tribes, Xiahou Yuan's department eliminated 31 tribes, and only 18 tribes were directly swept away.

He felt that he was obviously the commander and advocated fighting, but he inexplicably played a feeling of a little daughter-in-law fighting away from home, and he was quite angry, but he had no way to take the two cavalry troops that were speeding without any hindrance, and he really couldn't catch up.

A month later, on the first day of the fifth month of the third year of Zhenguan, the Liaodong Sweeping War officially ended, and the Han army of nearly 60,000 troops under the leadership of Zhaozhao, Xiahou Yuan and Pang De wiped out all the existence of the land of Liaodong that was traditionally called "Dongyi".

Even on April 29, the same force that had been sent to continue exploring the east in search of the sea found the rumored Su Shen Headquarters, and was subjected to a small attack.

So Jiang Wei, the captain who commanded a battalion of the exploration force, was full of anger and led a battalion of Han troops to extinguish the resistance of the six divisions of Sushen, eliminate the headquarters of Sushen, and further explore to the east.

At present, they have not discovered the sea, but they have found a number of other small tribes except for Su Shen, most of whom are uncivilized barbarians and are often hostile to the arrival of the Han army.

Therefore, Jiang Wei went east while fighting, exterminated many small tribes that did not even know their affiliation, captured many prisoners, and captured a lot of booty.

He is still continuing eastward.

On the whole, nearly 60,000 Han troops killed more than 30,000 enemy soldiers and harvested more than 700,000 prisoners of war for the Han Empire.

Originally, there were more people, but because of the harsh environment on the battlefield, a large number of prisoners of war died before and after, and by the time the army escorted these prisoners of war to the assembly place, it was in the early 700,000s.

This is quite a dazzling record, and the results are catching up with the capture record set by Liu Bei that year, so after comprehensive statistics, Zhao Zhao and others are very happy, and they can't wait to send the news to Luoyang.

Anyway, the goal of the war has been achieved, and the results of the war have been obtained, what to do next, how to govern it, that is the matter of the imperial court, it is a political task, and it has nothing to do with those of them who lead troops to fight.

They only need to obtain the next combat target and combat permission from Liu Bei, and it is enough.

And before the news of this victory reached Luoyang, Gongsun Du's family arrived at the arrival that they were sent to Youzhou by boat, and then arrived in Luoyang by land, all the way unimpeded, and arrived in Luoyang very quickly, threw into the prison, and was handed over to Liu Bei for disposal.

Liu Bei was not ambiguous, and after learning about the cause and effect, he directly sentenced Gongsun Du to the crime of rebellion and sentenced Gongsun Du to death.

Gongsun Du tried to see Liu Bei before the execution, but Liu Bei ignored him and directly sent him to the execution ground to have his head cut off.

Gongsun Du's death can't make any waves in the current Han Empire, he is not a big man in the first place, and now he is still learning to rebel, and the nest has been served by Liu Bei, he just became a joke.

However, the suggestion he made to Liu Bei before made Liu Bei a little more interested.

Considering the existence of Liaoze and the difficulty of the road, Liu Bei began to think that after the land of Goguryeo, Buyeo and Sanhan was conquered by the Han army, it seemed that a new state should be established in this border land to rule the land of Liaodong and strengthen the actual management of that land.

Limited to climatic factors and traffic factors, at this time, the land in the northeast and the outer Khing'an Mountains do not see any prospects for great development for the time being, the traffic is difficult, the climate is cold, and the fertile black soil cannot see the possibility of comprehensive development in a short time, but ......

Just like the mentality of modern people who "I don't have to bear it, I can't do without", Liu Bei also felt the same thought, feeling that he could not develop these territories, but he could not do without.
