Li Hong, the general of the cavalry, successively received a military intelligence report from the army advancing north on the third route. At present, the three-way army has successfully joined Jin Xueyuan according to Li Hong's requirements.

Due to the repeated bloody battles, the three-way army suffered losses to varying degrees. Zhang Yan's army on the east road annihilated nearly 10,000 enemies and lost about 5,000 foot cavalry. Especially in the battle of Shuangyan Mountain, Yan Rou and Li Su were attacked by the Black Eagle Iron Cavalry, Li Su's Iron Cavalry Battalion was lost by more than half, and the Captain Hongbai was killed. The Koji rebel army in the middle annihilated 15,000 cavalry of Xianbei in the north, killed Tuoba Feng, the lord of Xianbei in the north, and lost about 4,000 people himself. Xu Rongjun of the West Road beheaded 8,000 ranks, killed the great marshal of Xianbei in the west, and deduced it, captured more than 6,000 people, and lost more than 6,000 horsemen. Gao Shun Xu Huang's army was raided by the Xianbei people in the process of transporting grain, killing 3,000 enemies and losing 2,000.

In the course of nearly a month, the Han army fought 27 battles, occupied all the territories of Xianbei and Danhan Mountains in the entire northern part of the country at the cost of losing more than 18,000 people, plundered nearly 240,000 people, and annihilated 46,000 horsemen, of which 24,000 were beheaded, 22,000 were captured, and more than 3,299,700 cattle, horses, mules, donkeys, and camels were captured. Because many tribes in Xianbei were mainly concentrated in the vast territory of Xianbei and Danhan Mountain in the north, after this battle, nearly half of the population of Xianbei became prisoners of the Han army.

While Li Hong reported the victory to the imperial court, he was anxious to write to the generals of the army of Chaotianyuan. Li Hong ordered Jianwei's general Xu Rong to temporarily command the armies, and the generals of all departments were under his control. Li Hong also told Xu Rong that although the Xianbei people were caught off guard and were attacked by us thousands of miles away, the three parts of the eastern, central and western parts of the Xianbei people were strong. If they launch a counterattack against us under the command of Murong Feng, there is a possibility that the situation in the desert will be reversed. Li Hong said that now that the grain and grass are still supportable, and the morale of the soldiers is also high, you must use this time to maintain a strong deterrent to the Xianbei people, so as to ensure the preparation of Hanbei County and stabilize the Xianbei tribes within the territory of Hanbei County. If the Xianbei people have not assembled for a long time, you have to wait for an opportunity to attack, and it is best to drive Murong Feng to the area of Yanran Mountain to reduce the threat of the Xianbei people to Hanbei County.

The car rode the general's mansion.

Li Hong stood outside the big tent and personally welcomed Tuoba Tao and Tuoba Raccoon into the big tent.

Li Hong said: Don't talk about the hatred between us for the time being. Five years ago, we fought in Shanggu, when you invaded Youzhou. Later, you continued to invade, constantly occupy the territory of our Han Dynasty, kill my Han people, and plunder our Han property. Today, our Han army is on an expedition north, which can be said to be revenge or invasion. But in any case, there is no right or wrong between us, only success or failure. This time I won, at least for now, I won, you lost, so you have to listen to me. Now we don't talk about vendettas, we don't talk about the past, we talk about the future.

Tuoba Tao and Tuoba Raccoon bowed their heads and remained silent. When Tuoba Feng invaded Youzhou, Tuoba Tao and his thousands of iron horsemen were surrounded by Li Hong, and their vitality was exhausted. However, Li Hong did not take the opportunity to encircle and annihilate them, but took the initiative to surrender, and the two surrendered soon after. Later, Li Hong and Liu Yu released them from the overall situation of Northern Xinjiang, and Tuoba Tao and Tuoba Raccoon were very grateful to Li Hong for his grace not to kill. Three years ago, He Lian and Tuoba Feng went south to invade Western Xinjiang, and in order to avoid fighting against Li Hong, the two did not go south with them, but swept south of Yinshan with Kuitou and occupied the four northern counties. In this battle of Changyun Mountain, they were captured by the Han army, and the two thought that they would definitely die, but who knew that Li Hong gave them a way to live again. Tuoba Raccoon saw the hope of survival in Li Hong's smile, and he asked in a low voice, "My lord, what about the Tuoba clan?" ”

Li Hong said, I have not killed all your people or the soldiers of your Tuoba tribe now, of course I have the intention to let you live, but if you Tuoba tribe want to continue to live in this desert, you must listen to me. When Tuoba Tao and Tuoba Raccoon heard that the Tuoba clan could continue to exist, they were surprised and delighted, and hurriedly knelt down to express their allegiance to the Great Han Kingdom and Li Hong. Li Hong immediately talked about the rebuilding of the Xianbei Royal Court. Li Hong said that Qianman, the son of Helian, has been found by us and is now on his way to Jinxueyuan. Your Tuoba tribe immediately united with the leaders of the Northern Xianbei tribes to prepare for the establishment of the Xianbei Royal Court in the Golden Snow Plain, and Qian Man was the king of the Xianbei Royal Court. As soon as Qianman arrived, the Xianbei royal court submitted a surrender letter to the Great Han Kingdom, and at the same time, you spread the news of the surrender of the Xianbei king all over the desert.

Tuoba Tao and Tuoba Raccoon hesitated. This is a matter of great importance, and they must consult with the chiefs of the tribes. Li Hong planned to build the Xianbei royal court and take Qian Man as the king of Xianbei, but his intention was to split the Xianbei country and pacify the Northern Xianbei tribes as soon as possible. Now the Kuitou and the three Xianbei armies of the eastern, central and western tribes are in Chaotianyuan, if the Kuitou wins the battle in a few months, and the Han army is defeated and retreats into the desert, then the fate of the leaders of the Northern Xianbei tribes can be imagined.

Tuoba Tao asked, "Why didn't your lord set up the royal court in Danhan Mountain?" ”

Li Hong said with a smile: "I have already rewarded Danhan Mountain and some of the Xianbei tribes to which Danhan Mountain belongs to the Wuye tribe. Now that Mo Ci is leading the clan to move north to Danhan Mountain, it is estimated that it will be there soon. After the ink is given to Danhan Mountain, the Maiha Royal Court will be built immediately. ”

Tuoba Tao and Tuoba Raccoon looked at Li Hong in surprise. Li Hong smiled slightly and spread out the map on the desk.

"All the territories of Xianbei and Danhan Mountain in the north have been occupied by our Great Han State, and now this place is called Hanbei County, which belongs to the annexed state of the Great Han State." Li Hong pointed to the map and said, "Starting from the eastern end of Hanbei County, there is the territory of the Loulu of the Black Ling King of the White Mountain, the territory of the Xianbei Wuye King of Danhan Mountain, the territory of the White Deer King Lu Pofeng of the Upper Valley, the territory of the Flying Fox King Ran Ran of the Daijun Karasuma Flying Fox, the territory of the King Qianman of the Northern Xianbei, the territory of Liu Ming, the king of the Xiongnu, the territory of Liu Bao, the king of the Xiongnu Zuoxian, the territory of Nie Xiao, the king of the Huangzhong of the Western Liangqiang tribe, and the territory of the first zero king of the Xiliang Qiang tribe. ”

Li Hong patted this brand-new map, looked at the stunned Tuoba Tao and Tuoba Raccoon, and said with a slight smile: "The desert is no longer the world of your Xianbei people, especially the south of this desert, which will soon be the world of the four clans and nine kings." All of the nine tribal kings, except for Qianman, were able to get the spoils of war. All the tribes of Xianbei and Danhan Mountain in the north will become the clans of these eight kings. ”

Tuoba Raccoon Dog's face turned pale, and he stammered and asked, "How did the King of Xianbei become the King of Northern Xianbei in a blink of an eye?" Is the Northern Xianbei Royal Court just a Tuoba clan? ”

"Since the Xianbei country has surrendered, of course it has no right to continue to enjoy the desert. Everything in this desert belongs to my Great Han Kingdom, including your Xianbei King. Li Hong smiled, "If you are willing to help, I can give it to a few more tribes and a few thousand people." ”

Tuoba Tao and Tuoba Raccoon looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Since then, the southern part of the desert has gathered four tribes, and the nine kings have been established, and the Xianbei people no longer have any hope of dominating the desert.

Li Hongmu sent Tuoba Tao and Tuoba Raccoon Dog to leave, turned around and walked into the big tent.

Tian Chou was looking at the map carefully, he saw Li Hong walking in, and hurriedly asked, "Isn't Lord Liu Ming a school captain?" How did he become the king of the Huns in Shan Yuting? Do you want to crown Lord Liu as the king? ”

"At present, Liu Bao's power is too great, and it must be properly controlled, so as not to let his family dominate and affect the balance of power between the tribal kings of Hanbei County." Li Hong said, "Liu Ming was originally a son of the Xiongnu nobles, and he has been in the army in my Han Kingdom for many years, and has made many meritorious achievements, and it is more than enough to be a single king of the court." I have already sent someone to Shan Yuting in Meiji, and Yu Fuluo will agree. ”

Tian Chou looked at Li Hong and did not speak. He thought to himself, what if Yuvro didn't agree?

Li Hong seemed to see Tian Chou's thoughts, and he said with a smile: "Zitai, the stronger Liu Bao's strength, the greater the threat to Fu Luo, which is not a good thing for Shan Yuting or for us." If I can take this opportunity to weaken Liu Bao's strength, Yu Fuluo will be grateful. ”

"It's still thoughtful and thoughtful." Tian Chou said with a smile, "That lord wrote to the imperial court and asked for a group of Hu generals to be appointed as the little kings of each tribe is also to weaken the strength of the kings of each tribe?" ”

"Yes, we have given so many Xianbei people and livestock property to the tribes, and their strength will increase dramatically immediately, so we must find a way to weaken and divide their strength." Li Hong said, "I have discussed with Lord Xianyu, Lord Yang, and Lord Yu many times, and I think it is more appropriate to seal a little more Xiao Wang." Heng Xi, Shooting Yingtong, Lu Huanyang, Arc Ding, Qi Shen, Xinhu, and Baili Yang have fought with me for many years, I can't treat them badly, I want to give them what they deserve. There are also Mu Tao, Mu Li and some Xianbei generals who belong to us, these people also want to be rewarded, and they must also be crowned a tribal king. They were named tribal kings not only because of their military exploits, but more importantly, their affairs could affect the leaders of the three Xianbei tribes in the east, middle and west. I want them to know that it is profitable to surrender or belong to my Great Han Kingdom. ”

Tian Chou asked worriedly: "Have you ever thought about it, although these big kings and little kings can help us quickly stabilize the territory, but what about the future?" In the future, there will be many tribes in the desert, and there will be endless disputes, which may cause great disasters. ”

"Zitai, the problem now is that I want to hold the southern part of the desert, build a solid barrier for the survival of the people in northern Xinjiang, and buy more time for the recovery of the Great Han Kingdom." Li Hong smiled bitterly, "How capable can I be?" How many years from now? Let's first solve the immediate problems in light of the current conditions, and then talk about the future when the northern Xinjiang is completely stabilized. As long as the Han Kingdom is strong, we will be the overlords in the desert, and all the tribal kings will submit to my Han and become loyal subjects of my Han. ”

Tian Chou was silent. He wanted to say a few more words, and wanted to persuade Li Hong to take a long-term view and do a little more perfectly, but he felt that Li Hong was right, and he was powerless to refute it. Li Hong was not the first to lead a large army into the desert, nor was he the first to defeat the Hu tribe in the desert, but he was the first to try to occupy the desert permanently. No ancestor could accomplish this matter, and Li Hong had no people and things to learn from, so he could only take one step at a time.

In this world, no one has the wisdom to see and predict what is to come, and if there is, there will be no war and no killing in this world.

Tian Yu walked into the big tent with a few bundles of bamboo slips.

The preparation for the establishment of Hanbei County is nearing the end, and Tian Yu is most anxious about the lack of manpower. For this reason, Li Hong urgently sent people south to Jinyang, and asked Zhao Qi and Cai Yong to immediately recruit dozens of students from the Jinyang University Hall to serve in the Hanbei County Government. Tian Yu briefly reported to Li Hong about the preparation for the establishment of the government office, and then talked about the specific plan of dividing the tribal territories. Tian Yu said that the Karasuma and the Xiongnu had lived in the border counties of the Han Dynasty for a long time, and if they all moved out of the border counties, it would obviously be strongly opposed and resisted by some Hu people, so it was better to keep some Hu people in the border counties so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. Li Hong agreed to his suggestion.

Tian Yu then talked about the northward migration of the tribes of the border counties to the desert.

After Zhang Yan captured Danhan Mountain, the first thing he did was to send someone to inform the Maiye tribe's Shooting Moci, the Bailu tribe's Xi Pofeng, and the white mountain Karasuma Marshal Du Lianmu each led the tribe's iron cavalry north to garrison. The Xiongnu tribes of Wuyuan County are now all members of Liu Bao, the king of Zuoxian. After Li Hong arrived in Jinxueyuan, he immediately ordered Liu Bao's younger brother Liu Ying to lead part of his clan into the surrendered city.

Tian Yu said that the clans of Lou Lu, Ji Moci, Xi Pofeng, Ran Ran and Liu Bao will go north one after another in the near future after receiving the order from the adults to move north. As for Xian Lingqiang, it is estimated that it will take some time to move north, and it will take about two to three months for more than 200,000 Hu people of all ethnic groups in border counties to move into the desert, that is, it can be basically completed before winter comes. Because the most populous people in the border county are the Huns, and Liu Bao's clan has more than 100,000 people. So as long as the Huns migrated to the end, the matter of moving north was actually about the same.

Tian Yu was also worried about Huang Zhongqiang. Li Hong said that Huangzhongqiang was not originally a Hu tribe in the desert, they were far away in Jincheng County in Xiliang, more than 2,000 miles away from the desert, how could they leave their hometown and migrate to a strange desert? Now that Jincheng County is occupied by Han Sui's rebels, Nie Xiao and his men cannot go home, so they can only stay in the desert, and they can be regarded as the first batch of Huangzhong Qiang people who migrated to the desert. When the spoils of war are distributed, give them a little more among the women of each tribe, so that they can reproduce in the desert. When the rebellion in Xiliang is quelled in the future, let Nie Xiao and them bring their families to the desert.

"According to the order of the adults, the tribes belonging to Danhan Mountain have been concentrated in the area of Danhan Mountain, and the tribes belonging to Xianbei in the north will also be concentrated in the three places of Fuhan Plain, Jinxue Plain and Surrendered City in a few days." Tian Yu said, "The adults are anxious to gather these Xianbei in one place, in addition to the convenience of distributing these Xianbei people to the kings of various tribes in the future, does it also mean that the walls are clear?" ”

Li Hong smiled: "Guorang, do you see it?" ”

"The central and eastern Xianbei are thousands of miles away from Chaotianyuan, and it is difficult for livestock and weapons to be delivered quickly and safely to Chaotianyuan. Therefore, the tens of thousands of troops of Kuitou, Murong Feng and Micah could only rely on the Western Xianbei to transport military supplies, but only one Western Xianbei was simply unable to support the consumption of tens of thousands of troops for several months. Therefore, if they want to continue to fight this battle, there is only one way, and that is to go to Hanbei County to grab it. Tian Yu sighed, "Your Excellency first swept through the Xianbei and Danhan Mountains in the north with lightning speed, and then cleared the wilderness with a strong wall, moved north to the Hu people, and always firmly grasped the initiative of the desert battle, so that the Xianbei people were controlled step by step and were unable to cope." ”

"If the Xianbei people don't fight and retreat directly to the eastern, central and western regions, then when the Hu people move north, the territory in the south of the desert will be completely lost, and they will not only not be able to dominate the desert in the future, but even the Xianbei country will be torn apart. If they fight, they are not strong enough to fight in one battle. If this battle drags on until the snow season comes, we will gain a foothold in the desert, and they will starve to death. Tian Yu said with a smile, "In my opinion, this time Murong Feng has great ability and is unable to return to the sky, he can't let Xianbei Tieqi fight hungry." ”

Li Hong said with a smile: "Guorang, since you can see the situation in the desert, Kuitou and Murong Feng will also see it, then tell me, how will Kuitou and Murong Feng deal with it?" ”

Tian Yu frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then replied: "There are only three ways for Kuitou and Murong Feng, one is to gather all the Xianbei Iron Cavalry to launch a counterattack against us in the shortest possible time, this success may be too small, and it is in our hands, they will not do it." The second is to retreat, stubbornly defending the three Xianbei in the east, middle and west, but in this way, they will lose the southern territory of the desert, and sooner or later they will be gradually eroded by us. Thirdly, of course, it is the one thing that adults look forward to the most. ”

Li Hong leaned back slightly, touched the black beard on his face, and his eyes were worried.

"If Kuitou loses Danhan Mountain, he will lose everything, and if Xianbei Country loses Danhan Mountain, the royal court will no longer become Xianbei Country, so Kuitou and Murong Feng must defeat us." Tian Yu looked at Li Hong and said cautiously, "If you want to get what you want, there is only one way, and that is to completely defeat Murong Feng and let the Xianbei people lose their heart to dominate the desert from now on." ”

Li Hong smiled bitterly and said softly: "Do I have to defeat Dashuai to get what I want?" ”

"My lord, Murong Feng has been forced to a dead end, he is the undefeated god of war in the hearts of Xianbei people, and he is the hope of Xianbei people, even if he doesn't want to fight, he has to fight. At this time, he no longer has the right to choose, he can only swear to fight to the death. ”

Li Hong looked at the map on the desk and hung his head silently.

"My lord, you have to be determined to fight, otherwise, the opportunity for the Great Han Kingdom to dominate the desert may be lost."
