"In addition, I will leave you another 30,000 horses to guard against the attack of Gao Gan and others."

When Huaxiong sent troops from Luoyang, he only brought 100,000 troops, including a battalion of engineers of several thousand.

However, after successively capturing Yecheng, Liyang, and Jixian, after a fierce battle, the troops in his hands did not decrease but increased.

The three cities brought him as many as 50,000 captives!

There are so many soldiers, but it has brought great pressure to Huaxiong's grain and grass supply.

You must know that the army of 100,000 is on the expedition abroad, and the people in charge of transportation must have at least 200,000.

This time, in order to pacify the north, Huaxiong also made a bloody investment.

Now that Jixian County has been occupied, he can't wait for the class to return to the court.

Without him, the treasury would not be able to support such a huge supply of grain and grass all the time.

With the flight of Gao Gan and Yuan Tan, Bingzhou, Youzhou and other places have looked down on the wind and expressed their allegiance to Huaxiong.

After occupying most of the territory of Merge Prefecture and Youzhou, Huaxiong's territory expanded a lot.

Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others then led the army to return to the court.

Hua Xiong did not rush back, but stayed in Jixian County with Gan Ning, Wei Yan, Zhou Cang, Jiang Wei, and Deng Ai.

One is to guard against the attack of the Wuhuan people, and the other is to shock the people with ghosts in the Youzhou area.

On this day, Hua Xiong was in the conference hall, listening to Feng Ji's report on the political affairs of these days.

"Since the lord promulgated a new policy, exempting Youzhou and the state from paying taxes for one year, and providing seeds and farm tools to open up the wasteland, the people have praised the lord.

Many wealthy families who opposed the lord in the past have now expressed their allegiance. ”

Hua Xiong bowed his head slightly and said with a smile, "Yuan Tu, you did a good job." ”

"This is all trusted by the lord."

Feng Ji smiled.

"How is the construction of the military district?"

Hua Xiong asked.

"Back to the lord, it is in progress, and it will take about half a month to build it successfully."

"That's good."

Hua Xiong nodded.

Although Huaxiong planned the five major military regions before, because the north had not been conquered, the Xuanwu Military Region actually coincided with the Qilin Military Region.

Now that Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou have all been taken, it is necessary to establish the Xuanwu Military Region in the north.

First, it can reduce the pressure on logistics and supply, and second, it can deter the local nobles.

The most important thing is that once the Wuhuan people or the Liaodong Taishou Gongsun Du in the east come to attack, Huaxiong can also respond quickly.

While the two were talking, the four generals Wei Yan, Gan Ning, Deng Ai, and Jiang Wei walked quickly into the conference hall.

"Lord!"

The four of them saluted in unison.

Seeing them arriving at the same time, Hua Xiong was stunned for a moment and asked,

"Is something wrong?"

"My lord, there is news from the front line that a small group of cavalry of the Wuhuan people has crossed the border line to harass the people."

Wei Yan arched his hand.

Hearing this news, Feng Ji frowned slightly,

"It seems that Yuan Tan and the others have colluded with the Wuhuan people, and this Wuhuan people are not good."

"Lord, what should we do?"

Deng Ai asked.

"You don't have to ask, of course it's fucking!"

Gan Ning snorted lightly.

"My lord, I don't think it's appropriate to fight the Wuhuan people."

Feng Ji hurriedly said.

"Oh, why is that?"

Hua Xiong asked with a smile.

"When Yuan Tan and Gao Gan fled from Jixian County, although there were only 30,000 people, the Wuhuan people had a population of hundreds of thousands.

They were good at war, men, women, and children, and they were warriors, at least 100,000 horses.

Our army does not have an advantage in numbers, this is one of them. ”

Analyzing it slowly and methodically,

"Second, our army has just occupied Youzhou, and the people's hearts are unstable, so they start a war rashly, just afraid of a fire in the backyard."

"The third is also important, once the war starts, I am afraid that the food and grass and ordnance will not be able to keep up."

The three suggestions analyzed by Feng Ji are all reasonable and well-founded.

Even Gan Ning, who had always been belligerent, had to nod his head and admit that he had a point.

"Then what should we do, we can't just watch them and bully our people, right?"

Jiang Wei hammered the table hatefully.

Feng Ji also sighed helplessly.

Hua Xiong smiled,

"I got an idea."

"Please also make it clear to the lord."

Feng Ji hurriedly said.

"The two of you, Boyo and Shizai, are highly mobile and flexible in battle.

Your troops will stand by at the border, and if the Wuhuan people dare to cross the border and harass the people, you will immediately clean them up. ”

"Yes, my lord!"

Deng Ai and Jiang Wei were overjoyed.

They didn't want to watch the Wuhuan people so arrogant.

"The Wuhuan people are all cavalry, coming and going like the wind.

You must not rush out of the fortress, or you may be besieged. ”

Hua Xiong reminded.

"Whoa!"

The two of them responded in unison, and then left the chamber in a hurry.

"Lord, the Wuhuan people are different from Yuan Tan and them, they are fierce, I am afraid that they will suffer."

Gan Ning Road.

"Don't worry, as long as they don't go out of the fortress, if the Wuhuan people dare to make trouble in Youzhou, let them go and never return."

Hua Xiong said with a smile.

From Jixian County to the border, it is only a day's journey.

Jiang Wei and Deng Ai really want to be in any danger, the troops will keep marching rapidly, and the support will be in place in half a day.

"My lord is right."

As soon as Gan Ning and Wei Yan thought about it, they no longer had any objections.

……

Plug outside.

The whirring wind blew, and the endless tents stretched as far as the eye could see.

Yuan Tan and Gao Gan rode on horseback, followed by a group of cavalry.

They had just finished plundering the territory of Youzhou and returned to the camp of the Wuhuan people.

The two dismounted and headed straight for the largest tent in the camp.

In the tent, a big man with a rough face and a beard sat on the platform.

He was munching on meat and drinking wine.

Seeing the two of them returning, a mocking smile appeared on the big man's face,

"I don't know what kind of feats my two good brothers have made?"

Hearing this, the other big men in the tent burst out laughing.

And the faces of Yuan Tan and Gao Gan suddenly turned red.

After the two of them fled from Jixian County, they fled all the way to the north, and then came to seek refuge with the big man sitting on the high platform.

Due to the years of war in the Central Plains, the imperial court had no time to take care of the border.

The increasingly powerful Wuhuan people invaded Youzhou.

Among them, the Wuhuan people, who occupied the three counties of Liaodong, Liaoxi and Youbeiping, formed a powerful tribal alliance, with Liucheng as the center, occupied the western Liaoxi region, and were called the Wuhuan of the three counties.

In order to eliminate Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao joined forces with Wu Huan.

After the deed was completed, Yuan Shao pretended to be the leader of the Wuhuan people in the name of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty as Shan Yu, and also married the Wuhuan chieftain to marry the daughter of the Zongren to the Wuhuan leader as his wife, consolidating the alliance.

This is also the reason why Yuan Tan and Gao Gan will come to Badun.

It's just that they had soldiers and territory before, and Wuhuan would agree to cooperate with them.

And now that they have nothing, the Wuhuan people don't take them seriously at all.

Seeing the embarrassed appearance of the two, he pouted and said disdainfully,

"Yuan Gong I is famous, how can there be incompetent sons and nephews like you?"
