Chapter 186: Mobei Grassland

Wei Xuan sneered: "Since you are unwilling to give up, then kill them all!"

Although it is divided into two parts, the left and right, but after all, they are all of the same race, Liu Qubei is still a little unbearable in his heart, and he can't help but hesitate. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Wei Xuan smiled: "You don't have to worry about this matter, you have your own arrangements, you just need to restrain your own subordinates." ”

Before fighting the Huns, Wei Xuan made a promise to allow the soldiers to plunder for three days. Of course, the object of this plunder could not be the Han Chinese, then there were only the Xiongnu.

......

It was already completely dark, and the camp of the Xiongnu Liu Bao Department in Meiji was lit with piles of bonfires, and groups of Xiongnu men and women drank and sang there, so lively.

The living environment on the grassland is very harsh, and the people on the grassland have formed many systems that are difficult for the Han people to understand in order to reproduce the tribe. For example, in the step-marriage system, the son can inherit the father's woman as his wife. There is also a marriage robbery system, robbing the enemy's woman to be his wife, but after this woman is robbed, she will willingly have children and take care of housework.

Although the Southern Xiongnu had been attached to the Han Dynasty for many years, they still retained these customs. In yesterday's battle, more than 40,000 Southern Xiongnu were killed, and 20,000 of Liu Bao's troops never came back after they went out on the expedition. For the family who lost a young man, there was a lot of sadness. On the contrary, those who survive are not only to be thankful, but also to reap the benefits.

For families who have lost their young men not only do not receive any pension, but their wives and children are distributed by the chief to the rest of the families. Some of the slightly more powerful little bosses can't wait to start picking women.

At that moment, the ground beneath their feet suddenly trembled. For the Huns, who grew up on horseback, what this meant, there is no need to be reminded at all. For a while, the camp that was still lively just now was in chaos, some people were busy leading horses, some people were busy looking for bows and arrows, and some people were busy sending away their wives and children. However, it was too late.

The cavalry of the Chu army rushed into the camp from all directions, killing people on sight, and the snow-bright sabers shone with a dazzling cold light under the light of the bonfire. Wherever the horse team passed, there were many people, and many women were also killed by mistake in the chaos.

The Huns, who had no time to jump on horseback, had lost the courage to resist, and had no way to escape, so they had to bow down and ask for surrender.

Liu Qubei accompanied Wei Xuan into the camp, and he was also shocked when he looked at the scene in front of him. He has not experienced a major battle for many years, and he has long since lost the bravery of his ancestors, and at this moment he only begs Wei Xuan not to wave the butcher knife at his subordinates, where can he dare to say a word for Liu Bao's subordinates.

Wei Xuan looked at the trembling Liu Qubei, shook his head and said, "You are all from the grassland, and the disposal of these captives should be in accordance with the rules of your grassland!"

The so-called rule of the steppe is to behead all men who are taller than the wheels, and women and children to be used as slaves. It was only at this time that those Hun men who surrendered realized that something was wrong, and they wanted to rise up again but had no chance. With the waving of the sabre of the Chu army, one by one the Hun men only fell into a different place.

......

The next three days were the days of the carnival of the soldiers of the Chu army. Wei Xuan naturally wouldn't participate in their messing around, he called Liu Qubei aside and asked about the situation of the Xianbei people on the Mobei grassland.

Liu Qubei sighed: "Actually, I also want to go back to the grassland, but Xianbei is powerful, and it is difficult to compete with the people in the lower part." ”

Wei Xuan groaned, "What if I help you alone?"

Liu Qubei was not stupid, knowing that there was no free lunch in the world, but their desire to return to the Mobei grassland was too strong, so he cautiously asked, "I don't know what the conditions of the adults are?"

Wei Xuan said lightly: "The conditions are very simple, choose 50,000 people as the lonely forerunner!"

Liu Qubei only has 80,000 fighters left, and if he picks another 50,000 and hands it over to Wei Xuan, his strength will definitely be sharply reduced. But how can a person not bow his head under a low eaves? Liu Qubei knew very well how Liu Bao's department perished, and without Liu Bao's department, he was even more difficult to support alone, so he had to smile bitterly: "Listen to the adults below." ”

Wei Xuan smiled: "Don't worry, when you take the Mobei grassland and destroy the Xianbei tribes, are you still afraid that your clan will not be able to grow?"

Liu Qubei thinks about it, and this is also the truth. According to the rules of the grassland, those Xianbei women and children naturally had to be absorbed into his tribe. In a few years, these children will grow up and become well-known steppe men, and his clan will be even stronger than it is now.

Thinking of this, how could Liu Qubei not agree, and said repeatedly: "Thank you, my lord!"

But how did he know that this was a mirror time and space, and a few years later, when those children grew up, everything would return to the way it was, and it would be impossible to give him a chance to grow his strength.

......

Fighting in the Mobei grassland, the role of infantry is no longer great. Therefore, Wei Xuan only left 100,000 elite cavalry this time, and the rest of the men and horses were partly stationed in Jizhou, and partly returned to Xiangyang to rest. This time, a lot of war horses were captured from Liu Bao's department, and Wei Xuan also brought them all with him in the army so that the soldiers could be transferred. Historically, the Mongols swept across the Eurasian continent, often running five or six hundred miles a day, relying on one man with two horses or even one man with three horses to save horsepower and maintain speed.

Liu Qubei also handed over 50,000 Hun soldiers to Xu Chu as promised, and he himself took 20,000 people to accompany the expedition, and the entire tribe was almost out. After all, this time he said that he was going to recapture the Mobei grassland from the Xianbei people for him, and he couldn't help but show some gestures.

Although he had Qiankun bags and Na Ring with him, and did not have to worry about the problem of grain and grass, Wei Xuan still decided to follow the principle of grassland warfare, feeding on cattle and sheep, and drove all the cattle and sheep plundered from Liu Bao's department to follow the army. These cattle and sheep also need to be taken care of, so the young and strong women of Liu Bao's department are also wrapped up in the army.

There are also two carriages in the army, which are for Zhen Mi and Du Su'e to ride. Wei Xuan wanted to send them to Xiangyang, but Zhen Mi was still young enough, but Du Su'e was a beauty that even Guan Yu was tempted by, so he didn't worry about handing them over to others to escort, so he had to take them with him.

In this way, a mighty procession composed of 180,000 troops, 100,000 Hun women, and countless cattle and sheep left Meiji and entered the Mobei grassland through Wuyuan County, and the first target was the famous surrendered city.

The surrendered city is at the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain, which is a small city built by the Han Dynasty to accept the surrender of the Southern Xiongnu. After years of wind and sun, the town has only left some broken walls, which are flooded by the surrounding wild grass, and there is no trace of the past.

At this time, it has become the pasture center of a small Xianbei tribe, and more than 100 Xianbei herdsman families are scattered in an area of dozens of miles. As usual, they herd their horses and sheep and prepare forage for the winter. A few Xianbei men gathered together idlely, discussing which way to go to the Han village in winter to grab some cloth, pig iron and women to come back, but they did not expect that a catastrophe was slowly coming.
