Chapter 121
Whether you admit it or not, this time it is indeed a failure. The main general was killed in battle, and more than 50,000 soldiers were lost, which Wen Bufan had never encountered. Although Han Chenglin's department fought desperately and killed more than 70,000 enemies. But that can't hide the loss this time.
When Wen Bufan returned to rescue Han Chenglin, he had already notified Sui Shang to return to the army.
At this time, Sui Shang's army had also arrived in this valley and already knew the battle situation here.
Looking at Wen Bufan, who was preoccupied, no one spoke among the generals.
"What do you think, guys?" Wen Bufan said.
"Your Majesty, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and our army also killed more than 70,000 enemies at this station, but General Han unfortunately died." Sui Shang said.
"It's really a pity for General Han, but what I'm worried about is that we have been entering the Beihu Kingdom for many days, and we can only wait passively! Isn't there any other way for us? Wen Bufan said.
"Your Majesty, there is actually a way to do this." Sui Shang said.
"What's the solution?" Wen Bufan asked.
"Your Majesty, although the army of the Northern Hu Kingdom is highly mobile, they also need supplies." Sui Shang said.
"That's right, it's the army that needs supplies, what can you do?" Wen Bufan asked.
"Of course, there is a way, as long as we cut off the supply of the army of the Northern Hu State, they will be forced to come out and fight us." Sui Shang said.
"And the way?" Wen Bufan asked.
"The solution is nothing more than to change our previous methods, and we can't easily let go of those tribes who have no resistance! Kill them all! Or move into Kannai! Sui Shang said.
"Isn't it too much to kill!" Wen Bufan said.
"Your Majesty! With all due respect, war itself is brutal! Sui Shang said.
Wen Bufan looked at Sui Shang and thought in his heart, yes, this is a war, this is not a TV series, and Han Chenglin's tens of thousands of people disappeared like this.
"Good! As the general said! Pass the order, as long as you encounter the tribe of Beihu in the future, as long as you are unwilling to move to Guannai, you will be killed! There is also a notice to the guards of the army, all looking for a place to build a city hundreds of miles ahead! Inform the Western Route Army and the Hedong Route Army to advance laterally. Sweep away all the Northern Hu armies in the area! Wen Bufan said.
"Yes!"
Wen Bufan did not continue to advance, but together with the Western Route Army and the Eastern Route Army, he began to search horizontally for the army of the Northern Hu State on the grassland.
Debulzaha was pressed by the army of the East Lai State and had to gradually retreat northward.
Wen Bufan repaired another book and sent it to Princess Changping.
A few days later, William led a fleet of ships to transport more than 100,000 people from Huaxia one after another, and these more than 100,000 people built more than ten cities in the southern part of the Beihu steppe. After the construction of the city, tens of thousands of people from Donglai settled in these newly built cities. Gradually, all the southern part of the Beihu Kingdom was controlled within the scope of the Donglai Kingdom.
Although Debulzaha attacked several times during this period, all of them were repelled by the troops of Donglai!
Wen Bufan did not continue to advance, but stationed all the three route armies in the Beihu grassland. Wen Bufan made every effort to strengthen the construction of more than 10 cities. Treat the people of all ethnic groups in the cities equally, and declare to the outside world that these cities welcome people of all ethnic groups!
Under the escort of the Donglai army, these more than ten cities have gradually developed!
And the soldiers of Donglai State stationed on the border were not idle, but learned from the previous style of the Beihu State, and sent light cavalry with strong mobility to go out from time to time to harass those tribes of the Beihu State. And the policy was to forcibly plunder those who would not surrender to the cities that had been built. Of course, there are also many people from the Northern Hu Kingdom who have come to those newly built cities.
In order to prevent the spies of the Northern Hu Kingdom from infiltrating the city and causing unnecessary fights, Wen Bufan adopted real-name authentication for the residents of these cities, and as long as they lived in these cities, all people had to register with the local government office, which would issue identity certificates. The identity certificate will be retained by the government office.
Anyone who goes out must carry it with them, and the government will send people to check on the street from time to time, and if they do not carry their identity with them, they will be brought back to the government for verification. If there is no proof of identity at the prefectural office. will be directly imprisoned in the government prison, and after finding out the reason, it will be dealt with in accordance with the law.
In addition, if the neighbor who lives around you is someone you don't know, you must report it to the government. If the government finds out that the person who has lived around you for more than a month does not have identification, you will be dealt with by the government according to the law.
Since most of the people living in these more than ten cities are people from China, these policies naturally did not encounter much resistance when they were implemented. In addition, Wen Bufan implemented a policy of tax reduction and exemption in these cities, and there was no slave policy still practiced in these cities at all, so these cities gradually developed.
On the periphery, the smaller tribes had either fled to the north of the Beihu Kingdom, or had either taken their own initiative or been forced to come to the cities built by the Donglai Kingdom.
The entire Beihu prairie suddenly fell silent.
After stabilizing these more than ten cities, Wen Bufan once again transferred 300,000 people from Huaxia State, plus more than 300,000 horses before, and came to a huge sweep on the Beihu prairie! Debulzaha fought with Wen Bufan's army several times at first, but in the end, Wen Bufan's army drove him to the Gulad Desert and entered the vast desert!
Wen Bufan did not continue to catch up, but established three important military towns on the edge of the Gulard Desert, and commanded 100,000 border troops to defend them.
The rest of the army was withdrawn.
Before returning to Donglai Kingdom, Wen Bufan personally issued an order to allow the original subjects of Beihu State to come out to graze!
After Wen Bufan left 100,000 horses in those more than ten cities, he returned to Donglai City!
The Holy Maiden Xiyue stood there with a smile, greeted Wen Bufan, and asked, "You are finally back, and things are going well in the Beihu Kingdom?" ”
"I won't hide it from you, this time I went to fight in the Northern Hu Kingdom, and the treasury of the Huaxia Kingdom was almost consumed! That's why I withdrew my troops and came back. Wen Bufan said.
"I know that if it weren't for Sister Changping's full support, I'm afraid the war in Beihu Kingdom wouldn't have gone so smoothly." Saint Xiyue said.
"The army of the Northern Hu State was not severely damaged, but was driven to Mobei by us. And although those tribes here have surrendered, but that is because we do not have any taxes here, they are not really subdued, as long as there is a little wind and grass, it is very likely that there will be trouble! Wen Bufan said.
"You are sometimes a little soft-hearted, according to my wishes, it is better to move those subjects of the Beihu Kingdom into the Guannei!" Saint Xiyue said.
