Chapter 1129: Controlling Hu with Hu
All stats are permanently +1, which is a permanent increase of 5 stats, which is a huge boost for anyone.
Previously, because Dian Wei killed Wu Jianzhang, he and Wu Yunzhao had a 'never die' mission, but the rewards of Dian Wei and Wu Yunzhao were far less than those of Yang Ye and Murong Ke.
As for the reason, I am afraid that it is because Dian Wei and Wu Yunzhao are military generals, and the life-and-death duel between them basically revolves around force.
Yang Ye and Murong Ke are both top-level commanders, and if they want to decide life and death, the aspects involved are wide.
"General, our army has suffered more than 500 casualties, and now there are only more than 5,000 horsemen left in the whole army, while the Jin army still has nearly 7,000 horsemen, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to implement the next plan."
If the Yuan army wants to successfully attack Zhenbei Pass, it can't let the Jin cavalry behind it follow, otherwise it will not be able to attack the city even if it arrives under Zhenbei Pass.
When the Yuan army attacked the city, if the Jin army attacked, the Yuan army might be defeated by the Jin army.
After hearing the report of the captain under his command, Murong Ke forced himself to come out of his sad mood, and after pondering for a long time, he said lightly: "The whole army is out and go to Ningxia County." ”
The adjutant general was stunned for a moment, this was obviously inconsistent with the plan, so he asked: "General Ningxia County is the territory of the Jin army, what are we going to do there?" ”
A hint of strange color flashed in Murong Ke's eyes, and he said lightly: "There our army's strength will be replenished." ”
The deputy general couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, while Murong Ke looked to the east and said lightly: "Yang Ye, our contest has just begun. ”
Two days later, Murong Ke led the army to capture Kun County, Ningxia County, and then although he still drove the people to burn the city, this time there was another link, that is, forcibly conscripting the Xiongnu remnants in the city into the army.
After the Hetao was occupied by the Jin army, nearly 200,000 foreign races were left behind, including many Xiongnu herdsmen, and their resettlement also gave the Jin army a headache.
With such a large population, of course, it is impossible to kill them all, but the alien race is capricious, and if it is left unchecked, it must be a hidden danger.
Eventually, these people were scattered and settled in the counties of the Hetao, and with the help of the huge number of Han Chinese, they assimilated these alien races.
With the consolidation of the Jin army's position in the Hetao, these people can only accept the rule of the Jin army, and gradually forget the identity of the Huns, and after a few generations, there will naturally be no Han and Huns.
As for Kuncheng, it is the county town with the largest number of Xiongnu remnants among the 30 counties in Hetao, with nearly 8,000 Xiongnu remnants.
Before entering the Hetao, Murong Ke already had a plan to temporarily recruit the remnants of the Xiongnu into the army once the army suffered heavy casualties, and also arranged some follow-up for this.
The Huns are all good riders, and they can be used as regular troops after a simple training, although it is impossible not to be elite, but it is still possible to obey military orders and obey the dispatch.
Although there were many remnants of alien races in the two counties of Yinchuan that Murong Ke had conquered before, the casualties of the Yuan army at that time were not large, and there was no shortage of troops, so Murong Ke did not start this plan.
Now Murong Ke only had more than 5,000 horsemen left in his hands, and if he wanted to defeat Yang Ye in the next confrontation, he had to start this plan.
There are some Xiongnu remnants in Kuncheng, who have been rebelled by Murong Ke in advance, and when Murong Ke attacked the city, the aliens in the city attacked and opened the city gate, so that Murong Ke easily captured Kuncheng.
Originally, Murong Ke was not ready to forcibly recruit the remnants of the Xiongnu, but what he did not expect was that in addition to those who were rebelled, the vast majority of the remnants of the Xiongnu, under the comfortable rule of the Jin army, had forgotten the honor of the Xiongnu and were unwilling to join Murong Ke's army to participate in the war to help Yuanmeng recapture the Hetao.
Murong Ke also struggled to speak, but it was not good, and he was forced to use the next strategy in desperation, that is, to forcibly recruit the remnants of the Xiongnu into the army.
However, Murong Ke may have promised very generous conditions, and promised that the conscripted remnants would be released after the war, so this improvised army would not mutiny.
The 8,000 remnants of alien races in Kuncheng, in addition to the 3,000 old and weak women and children who could not go to the battlefield at all, the other 5,000 people of all ages were all incorporated into the army by Murong Ke.
In this way, the number of this partial division skyrocketed to 10,000, and under the leadership of Murong Ke, they continued to lead Ningxia County to carry out all kinds of destruction.
With the case of the fall of Kuncheng in the past, Ningxia Taishou, who is also Yang Ye's deputy general, Wen Tianxiang, naturally took precautions against Murong Ke and isolated the alien remnants in the city in advance, so he did not let Murong Ke do it again.
"Governor, the people who really participated in the rebellion were only those alien magnates who were deprived of their power by our army, and the hearts of the vast majority of the alien remnants are still towards us, after all, the alien remnants did not live better than the Han people, but our Jin army gave these alien remnants a better life."
Wen Tianxiang looked righteous and said to Yang Ye in a deep voice: "Now the move of isolating all the grassland aliens has caused great panic among the aliens, they are afraid that our army will do something to them, and in the long run, I am afraid that these people will be forced to rebel." ”
Yang Ye's brows furrowed again, and he said distressedly: "But if you don't isolate these alien races, there are still people installed by Murong Ke among them, so what should we do?" ”
"When the time comes, there is a plan that may be able to dispel the panic in the hearts of the remnants of the alien race."
Yang Ye couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Mr. is almost over." ”
"Murong Ke can forcibly recruit the remnants of foreign races into the army, and our army has won the hearts of the remnants of foreign races, so naturally he can also recruit foreign people into the army and use Hu to control Hu."
Wen Tianxiang's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "What the remnants of the alien race want is just a peace of mind, and since the governor has recruited them as an army, it can be seen that they will definitely not do anything to them, and the fear in the hearts of the remnants of the alien race will be relieved, and our army will also have a strong cavalry, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone." ”
Yang Ye was overjoyed at first when he heard this, but then he frowned and said: "It's a good plan, but it's ......"
After hesitating for a moment, Yang Ye said: "It's not that there are no alien cavalry in my Jin army, but the number of alien cavalry has always been extremely strictly controlled.
This time so many foreign cavalry were suddenly recruited, after this battle, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the lord to explain. ”
Wen Tianxiang showed a look of disappointment and said: "Governor, there is a way to be in a hurry, not to mention when is it now, you still care about the post-war?" Let's win this battle first. ”
Yang Ye nodded solemnly, he also felt that what Wen Tianxiang said was reasonable, and it would be good to be able to manage it now, so he decisively followed Wen Tianxiang's suggestion and carefully selected 10,000 Hu cavalry from the alien remnants of the Ningxia Army.
In the next battle with Murong Ke, this alien cavalry provided great help, if it weren't for them, Yang Ye might have really been defeated by Murong Ke
