Youzhou, Yan Great Wall.

"My life is miserable!!"

Cheng Ji stood on the edge of the Great Wall, looking at the mighty captives and convoys, and wanted to slap himself twice.

Why did you fight so fast?

Wen Yang stood beside him with a smile, "Chengjun, you can't be blamed for this, you still have to blame these Tuoba tribes, they lost too fast!" ”

"Before the war, he said that he had 200,000 troops, which was stronger than Wu State, and that he was invincible in the wilderness and that the cavalry was fast, but what was the result? At the touch of a button, I didn't even fight a few battles before I captured their king alive! ”

Hearing Wen Yang's words, Cheng Ji was even more aggrieved.

In order to get this opportunity, he asked the emperor to resign in person and came all the way here.

As a result, you say the war is over??

Haven't I come for nothing?

So what am I going to do in the future?

Can I go back to being my captain?

Cheng Ji only felt that his future was bleak at the moment, and his eyes were full of despair.

Wen Yang looked at his appearance, smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, Chengjun don't want to be like this, don't worry, you didn't come in vain, the war has not ended!" ”

"Huh?"

Cheng Ji looked at Wen Yang suddenly, "Didn't you even arrest the leader?" ”

Wen Yang explained: "It was they who collapsed on their own, and all the tribes ran out, and we arrested him together and arrested more than 400,000 people, and now they are being transported here." ”

"But their headquarters of people, the most elite group, have led their tribe to flee, these people are the elite of Tuoba, their cavalry is more than 40,000 people, their tribe must also have 200,000, these people are now on the side of Goguryeo."

"Leading them is the son of Tuoba Liwei, whose name is Tuoba Xuan."

"They're fighting Goguryeo!"

Hearing Wen Yang's words, Cheng Ji suddenly knew that he still had hope.

He hurriedly grabbed Wen Yang's hand, "Then are we going to send troops to fight against them?" ”

"The crusade is definitely going to be crusaded, but not now, Da Sima said, let them divide the winner first, and then he will be responsible for cleaning up the one who won."

When Cheng Ji heard this, he immediately raised his head and laughed.

"I knew I didn't come in vain!"

Wen Yang continued: "If you want to say that these two parts are also miserable, they lost badly, and they won even worse, how can there be no result, if I were them, I would simply come to surrender!" ”

"Da Sima also let us see how they fought, saying that they were going to learn their tactics!"

"What can they learn from their tactics? It was just a random fight, and the king of Goguryeo personally went into battle, saying that he was going to drive the expedition in person, but when he fought against Tuobahui, this person was so frightened that he ran away. ”

"As soon as he ran like this, the morale of the entire Goguryeo army collapsed."

"Do you think this stupid thing is very similar to Sun Hao? I don't think he is as good as Sun Hao, Sun Hao knows that he stays in the rear, this person goes directly to the front battlefield, and he has to run when he goes. ”

Wen Yang's eyes were full of contempt.

Cheng Ji asked, "So Tuoba won?" ”

"Not really, there are also capable people here in Goguryeo, after their rout, Tuoba Xuan advanced at full speed, wanting to emulate Da Sima, and directly captured the king of Goguryeo, but was ambushed by the enemy general halfway, and the front army suffered heavy losses, anyway, the two groups of people are at the same level, and I don't know how long it will take."

"No, Da Sima will let me be in charge of transporting these prisoners or something."

The two met here, Cheng Ji was about to go out of the plug, and Wen Yang had just returned.

Cheng Ji asked a lot of news about that side from Wen Yang, and then got on his horse and rushed towards Da Sima's position.

This time to destroy Tuoba, the Great Wei gained a lot, and the biggest harvest was these populations.

The Xianbei people have moved from being completely nomadic to semi-nomadic and semi-agrarian, and they are able to farm, although the farming skills are not very good.

And the population of Youzhou is too small, even if you count the population hidden by those big clans, it is far from enough.

But with these manpower, it's a completely different story.

Only when manpower goes up can the development here start.

When Cheng Ji arrived at Shengle City, Biqiu Jian was discussing with the generals about Goguryeo and Tuoba.

Knowing that Chengji had arrived, Biqiu Jian also took time to meet him.

After all, Chengji came from the emperor's side, and Biqiu Jian gave him the position of a miscellaneous general, and asked him to command a group of people and stay under his command.

Cheng Ji is quite satisfied with this result.

Maybe in his opinion, he has been upgraded, from a lieutenant to a general!

"Da Sima, looking at the current situation, Goguryeo is probably going to be unable to hold on, and the Tuoba Department is so fierce, it should be about to swallow Goguryeo's territory."

Zhang Te analyzes the recent situation.

Although Goguryeo is not too weak, it is not yet the opponent of the Tuoba Division, and in the face of the Tuoba Sect's attack in batches, it has now lost its armor and has begun to defend with all its might.

It's really a way to drive the tiger and the wolf.

Biqiu Jian took advantage of this opportunity to begin to settle the captives, and at the same time reward the army, preparing to send troops to fight them.

"We can't rush to send troops yet, if we send troops now, they will most likely put aside their prejudices and come together to deal with us, and they also know who is more threatening."

"Let's continue to wait and see, the war between the two of them, I'm afraid that they won't be able to tell the winner in a short period of time, and when they have the winner, it's not too late for us to attack, Goguryeo is not like the Xianbei tribe, they have their own king, they have their own system, even if they are captured by the Xianbei people, they will not turn around and become Xianbei people."

"Tuoba still treats Goguryeo with the concept of Xianbei people, and sooner or later he will suffer a big loss."

Biqiu Jian understood Tuoba Xuan's thoughts very well at this moment.

Because of the alliance system, every conflict between the Xianbei tribe will greatly improve their strength, as long as you win, the other party's people are your people, there is no barrier or anything else, you can gain a few laps after eating, and you don't need to digest it.

Therefore, he was in a hurry to swallow Goguryeo, thinking that he could combine Goguryeo's power to make himself fat a few laps, and then resist his onslaught.

However, from the institutional point of view alone, Goguryeo, which had already formed a kingdom and began to centralize power, was more advanced than the feudal Tuoba tribe of the alliance system.

They have formed a certain sense of identity, which may not be as strong as that of Great Wei, but geographically, or culturally, they all have a certain understanding.

Even if it is swallowed by the Xianbei people, it will not be digested so quickly, if Tuoba dares to use these people against himself, then wait to be stabbed in the back by them.

The Xianbei tribe system was solved by Tuoba Yilu in history, and he formally established the Dai Guo, completely ended the alliance system, and began to be managed by himself in a centralized system.

It's still early!

This is also the reason why Cao Chao dares to teach the other party's experience, Xianbei people under such a system have no sense of identity with each other, and whoever is caught is the person who is it, which is a good thing for Dawei.

If it's like Goguryeo, it's not easy to deal with, and it's probably hard to educate if you get caught.

Zhang Te also said at this moment: "Since this is the case, then wait for them to divide the victory and defeat, and we will attack again, it seems that we will have to stay in Youzhou for a while." ”

"I have to ask Your Majesty to send a few ministers who know how to educate, otherwise, it will not be easy to arrange these Xianbei people safely."

At this moment, Cao Chao is meeting several very important people in the Taiji Palace.

After Wang Ji took Jiaozhou in the south, he recommended several generals from Jiaozhou to Cao Chao.

Cao Chao attached great importance to this matter, and specially issued an edict asking several people from Jiaozhou to come to see him.

This includes Huo Yi, who has not seen Cao Chao since he returned to Shun.

In addition, there are three Wu generals, Tao Huang, Xue Jue, and Zhong Limu.

When these four generals arrived in Luoyang at the same time, they were received with great pomp.

Cao Chao held a separate banquet for them.

It was located in the east hall, Cao Chao sat on the upper seat, and four people sat on either side of him.

"Hahaha, with such a fierce general, why should I worry about not being able to achieve a big thing?"

Cao Chao looked at them, his eyes full of joy.

These four people are the first time to meet an emperor who treats him like this, Huo Yi was not so loved by Liu Chan when he was in Chengdu, after all, his name is not in the list of teachers.

As for the other three, they are all marginal generals on weekdays.

Otherwise, it will not be reduced to going to Jiaozhou.

I have long gone to the front line to fight against the Wei army.

Cao Chao looked at Huo Yi, "General Huo, I used to hear others talk about Ling's divine martial arts, but now I have the opportunity to meet you." ”

"You have made a great contribution this time, and I want to give you a pavilion as a reward."

"I am going to hand over the responsibility of this major matter in Nanzhong, and if you encounter something over there, you can deal with it first, and then report it to me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

He looked at Zhong Limu again.

"Zhong Ligong, I still lack a lieutenant here, I don't know if you are willing to serve as a lieutenant?"

"Huh??"

Zhong Limu hurriedly got up, "How can the minister be virtuous?"

"You are honest, you love the people like a son, you are upright, I admire you very much, please don't refuse."

Zhong Limu was stunned, he was just a Taishou in Wu Guodu, how could he become the captain of Sili after surrendering? ?

He trembled and bowed to the emperor.

Cao Chao looked at Tao Huang again.

"Tao Jun, this Jiaozhou assassin still lacks a capable person to help him, I don't know if you are willing to take the role?"

"Obey!!"

"As for Xue Jun, I still don't have a Shangshulang in this Shangshutai"

Xue Jue hurriedly got up and thanked him.

Cao Chao was very satisfied with these four people, especially Huo Yi and Zhong Limu.

Of course, he asked these people not only to give them official titles, but he also wanted to ask about the situation in Jiaozhou.

Especially the situation on the South Vietnamese side.

He didn't know if it was still under the governance of Jiaozhou now, and if not, if it wasn't, if there were any hostile forces.

Wang Ji's army is deployed over there, don't waste it, if there are really hostile forces, they should be eliminated as soon as possible to complete the unification!
