Jin Ge Iron Horse, blood stained yellow sand, a success, all bones are withered - at dawn, the fighting gradually stopped, the war has been clear, as far as the eye can see, mountain passes, ravines, camp gates...... The corpses are piled up, and the blood is flowing like a river, like a hell of a nose!

In last night's battle, the Han army skillfully set up an ambush, annihilated 5,000 pioneers, the remnants of the Xiongnu attacked several times, paid heavy casualties, and saw that there was no hope of breaking through, so they had to retreat into the valley, and there was no courage and strength to break through, so they could only sit and wait for death!

After the end of the battle, Xiao Yi inspected the results of the battle, and found Liu Bao's body in a trench, facing the sky on his back, his eyes were wide open, his right hand was holding a broken knife, his left arm was mutilated, and he was completely dead with four knives and seven arrows in his body, and the blood was running out, and he was completely dead!

"The Xiongnu Shan Yu - the overlord of the grassland, was vertical and horizontal during his lifetime, and his majesty was unstoppable, and he lay in the wilderness after his death, and his bones were incomplete...... If you knew today, why bother in the first place? ”

To relieve the hatred in his heart, draw his sword and kill the enemy, for a whole ten years, Xiao Yichao thought about it in the twilight, what he wanted was to avenge the old Taoist master, and now that the wish has been achieved, there is no joy in his heart, but a burst of emptiness!

In terms of personal feelings, the hatred between himself and Liu Bao is as deep as the sea, even if he picks up his skin and cramps, crushes his bones and scatters ashes, and slaughters his parents and three tribes, it is difficult to understand the hatred in his heart!

But putting aside personal grievances, from the perspective of a soldier alone, Liu Bao is a fierce opponent, witty, brave, and tenacious, fighting to the last moment, living up to the name of the overlord of the grassland!

"Goo! Goo! …… Rushing! ”

Xiao Yi took out the wine gourd, poured a few sips by himself, and poured the rest on Liu Bao's body, sacrificing this respected enemy, and then pulled out the sword of chopping Jiao, waved his hand to cut off the head, and returned to the big tent!

Respect is respect, hatred is hatred, the two can not be confused, in the big tent of the Chinese army, set up a altar, set up a spiritual seat...... The three survivors of Xiao Yi, Ma Liu, and Da Niu, holding human heads, burned incense and worshipped, sacrificing to the old Taoist master, as well as the blind dates who were killed, ten years of hatred, once snowed!

"Unscrupulous disciple - no worries, only with a big single Yu - Liu Bao's head, before offering the spirit card of the teacher, I also hope that the teacher will protect the spirit, so that the disciple can find another enemy, a thousand knives, crush the bones and scatter ashes!"

In all fairness, the destruction of the Crouching Tiger Pavilion and the tragic death of the old Taoist master, Liu Bao is just an accomplice, and Zimu Gongzi is the mastermind behind the scenes.

Xiao Yi also sent secret agents to look for Zimu Gongzi everywhere, only to know that he was under Yuan Shang's command, and he was quite important, but this person was insidious and cunning, low-key, and often hidden, and it would take some time to find his clues!

After the sacrifice, Xiao Yi rectified the men and horses, continued to block the mountain pass, the Huns suffered heavy casualties, and lost Da Shan Yu, like a headless snake, soon to perish, and the land of the six counties of the state, also fell into their own hands, if things go well, they can also expand the territory!

………………………………………………………………

"Boom! --Boom! Boom! ”

"Kill! --Kill! Kill! ”

Five days later, the door of the Han army camp was opened, Xiao Yi commanded 60,000 horses, lined up neatly, horns sounded in unison, slowly entered the valley, and began to clean up the mess, the process was extremely smooth, almost no resistance was encountered......

The corpses in the valley were everywhere, the stench was stinking, and countless Huns died of hunger, thirst, and disease, and the rest were also dying, and they had no strength to resist, and they all obediently became prisoners!

'Fat Liu' with a group of leading soldiers, carrying hundreds of cauldrons, also came to the valley, met the living Huns, fed a few mouthfuls of rice soup, and then tied up with ropes, all locked up in the prisoner of war camp, there are more than 30,000 people!

It's not that Xiao Yi is merciful and has the heart to let go of the captives, but to abide by the rules, before the fat pig is stabbed, he has to eat a full meal, not to mention tens of thousands of Huns, as a real general, he can kill the enemy, he can't abuse the enemy, otherwise what is the difference between him and the beast?

At the same time, the gate of Mayi City was opened, and Xia Zhao led 20,000 Yuan troops, changed the banner, accepted the reorganization, officially surrendered to the imperial court, and the whole territory of the state was peaceful!

"Xia Zhao, the person who treats the crime, leads 20,000 soldiers to return to Da Sima, whether he kills or kills, there is no complaint, and please forgive his subordinates and soldiers, as well as the innocent people in the city!"

Xia Zhao was wearing a single coat, carrying thorns on his back, and knelt down at the gate of the city on both knees, in order to show the meaning of 'bearing the guilt of thorns'.

"The general fought back, cut off the return of the Huns, and helped the Han army to achieve this great achievement, not only without fault, but with merit, I will play the Prime Minister, and add officials to the general!"

Xiao Yi supported his hands with a look of appreciation, as the saying goes: 'When two armies fight, each is its master', the previous grievances and grievances are all internal disputes in the Han family, and they are nothing at all!

Xia Zhao adhered to the national integrity at the critical moment, and with this, he should also 'forget the former enemy and turn the enemy into a friend', Xiao Yi immediately ordered to crown Xia Zhao as a loyal general, continue to lead the headquarters of the people, guard the Great Wall, and defend the border for the country!

"Da Sima doesn't miss the old evils, but is so loving, the end will be grateful, and he will follow the left and right from now on, and he will die without regrets!"

As a demoted general, even if he was not punished or insulted, but was promoted and reused, Xia Zhao burst into tears and swore to fight to the death!

"Wan Sheng! --Dahan Wansheng! --Da Sima Wansheng! ”

……………………

Next, the team entered the city, on the tower of the city gate, held a grand celebration banquet, Xiao Yi was in the main position, and the generals sat on both sides, staggered, laughing and cheering, celebrating the hard-won victory, and commemorating the comrades who died on the battlefield!

The soldiers also received wine, food, and rewards for meritorious deeds, all of which were rewarded, and the sound of cheering for victory resounded in the clouds!

This time he sent troops to the Northern Expedition, seized the land of the six counties of Bingzhou, and eliminated 100,000 Xiongnu soldiers, which can be described as a great achievement, but Xiao Yi was not satisfied, and when he celebrated his achievements, he asked Xia Zhao, who was sitting on the side, about the Hetao Plain!

The Yellow River is the mother river of the Chinese nation, stretching for thousands of miles, flowing endlessly, nourishing the land on both sides, nurturing hundreds of people, creating a splendid civilization, and the soul of the Chinese nation is integrated into this great river!

However, this mother's temper is not very good, a little moody, it moistens both sides of the river at the same time, but also often floods, only in the Qin and Han dynasties, the Yellow River flooded more than 30 times, the small ones are countless, flooding countless cities, pastorals, it is really love and hate!

Then again, all mothers will prefer a certain child, and the Yellow River is no exception, it is moody, flooding, but it takes good care of a place, and never loses its temper, that is the Hetao Plain, so there is a saying among the people: 'The Yellow River is harmful, only one is rich!' ’

The Yellow River enters Guanzhong, along Helan Mountain to the north, encounters Yinshan Mountain and turns eastward, and then along Luliang Mountain to the south, forming a 'several' shape, the river water rushes endlessly, carrying a large amount of sediment, over time, in the middle of the two bends, impacting into a plain, this is the Hetao!

Hetao Plain - the sun is sufficient, the land is fertile, the water source is sufficient, you can farm, you can also graze, it is a treasure land of feng shui, and it is also the big fat meat coveted by all ethnic groups, and you want to swallow it in one bite!

Before the Zhou Dynasty, the Hetao belonged to the Di people, the Huns, during the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhao Wuling King Hufu cavalry shooting, the rapid rise of national strength, the territory expanded to Yinshan, the Qin Dynasty unified the Central Plains, the general Meng Tian led 100,000 troops, the Huns were expelled from the Hetao, migrated 30,000 people to the border, set up Yunzhong, Jiuyuan two counties!

During the Western Han Dynasty, the general Wei Qing went on a northern expedition, defeated the two kings of Lou Fu and Baiyang of the Xiongnu, occupied the northern part of the Hetao, set up Shuofang and Wuyuan two counties, and then built a city and opened up fields, accumulated grass and grain, as a base for attacking the Xiongnu!

After the Southern Xiongnu attached to the Han Dynasty, they were placed in the Hetao area, with abundant water and grass, horses and sheep, recuperation, and gradually recovered their strength, but the steppe wolf was not grateful, but took advantage of the civil strife in the Han Dynasty, and constantly sent troops south, encroaching on the entire Hetao Plain, forming a confrontation across the river, the Han people are in the east, and the Xiongnu are in the west!

Xiao Yi is ready to expel the Huns, recover the Hetao Plain, re-establish Shuofang and Wuyuan counties, repair the city, reclaim the army, seize the living space for the descendants of the Han family, and also build an outpost for the future army on the grassland!

The problem is that in the Hetao Plain area, there are still many Xiongnu tribes, they come and go without a trace, it is difficult to capture traces, the Han army killed the past, it is easy to occupy the land, it is difficult to maintain long-term stability, once entangled with the Huns, it is difficult to distinguish the winner for decades!

"Qiqi Da Sima, an urgent report has been sent from outside the Saiwai, since the second king-Zhao Lang sent troops westward and entered the Hetao Plain!"

While thinking about it, the soldiers sent an urgent report, Xiao Yi hurriedly opened it and watched, and he was shocked in his heart!

Since the start of the war, Liu Bao and Wu Wei have swung their troops south, and the Han army has been inseparable, but Zhao Lang has not moved his troops and played a game of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight!

After more than two months of fierce fighting, Xiao Yi won more with less, annihilated the 100,000 army of the Huns, Liu Bao and Wu Wei also died on the battlefield, after learning the news, Zhao Lang immediately waved his army westward, washed the Hun court in blood, and captured more than 100,000 people, cattle, sheep, horses, camels...... Countless!

After expanding his strength, Zhao Lang led the iron cavalry south, and he was already approaching Mayi City, as for whether he was friend or foe, it was difficult to guess!

"The praying mantis catches the cicada, the yellow finch is behind, Zhao Lang has got a lot of benefits without spending a single soldier, and he has come to fight the idea of Ma Yi again, is he really not afraid of being strangled to death?"

There is such an eldest brother, Xiao Yi is also very helpless, the people who are eyeing the Hetao Plain are not the only ones, in addition, Zhao Lang is waving his army south, and the little she-wolf should also come, I really miss her!
