Why bury bones, why do you need mulberry ground, where is life not green mountains.

For the soldiers who have been fighting all the year round, they are always faced with life and death, death is not terrible, what is terrible is that after they die on the battlefield, their parents, wives and children have no one to take care of, lack of food and clothing, and no livelihood. But these are not problems in the Xiliang Army, the commander Li Li is definitely an unprecedented commander who is compassionate to the soldiers and their families, and the Xiliang Army treats the fallen soldiers with extremely generous pensions, which has been the case since the formation of the army, which is obvious to all.

In this way, the Xiliang soldiers who have no worries are naturally extremely brave, and there has never been a precedent of defeat since many years of conquest, even if they are in a desperate situation, they will fight to the end, there is no retreat, and the name of good fighting is unbeatable in the world.

It is precisely because of the courage and tenacity of the Xiliang army that the Han army did not fall behind in the two head-to-head confrontations with the barbarian army, and its bravery and fierceness were better than the barbarian army. When it is strong, it is stronger, and the bloody soldiers do not frown, and they stubbornly withstand the fierce offensive of the barbarian wolves, and finally win the battle, and defeat the barbarian army twice, so that this group of steppe wolves fled in a hurry, exhausted.

As Li Li said, under the two wars, the Han army lost many soldiers and horses, and as many as 100,000 soldiers were killed, and all of them were elite soldiers. But there is one point that Li Li deliberately ignored and did not mention, that is, most of the soldiers of the Han army who died in the two consecutive battles were the reorganized Youzhou army. More than sixty percent of the more than 100,000 casualties were the original Youzhou army, and among the Eastern Expeditionary Army led by Li Li, only 50,000 cavalry, including 20,000 unequaled iron cavalry, 10,000 Jin Qiwei and 20,000 county soldiers, participated in the battle, and there were still more than 30,000 after the war. The remaining two formed cavalry battalions, the Wuwei Battalion and the Feiyan Light Cavalry, did not appear until the last moment of the battle. In the first battle, he settled on Wolf Mountain, and followed behind more than 30,000 barbarian troops, and smashed into Liucheng, the nest of Wuhuan.

To put it bluntly. The victory of the Youzhou army in the blood-stained territory was finally easily picked up by the Wuwei battalion and the Feiyan light cavalry.

What is the old man seeking the country, this scene in front of him is undoubtedly the best interpretation.

Since ancient times, there has been a difference between intimacy and intimacy. Although Li Li had already pocketed Youzhou, in order to take over the entire territory of Youzhou, ensure the long-term stability of Youzhou, and nip possible civil strife in the bud, he finally put the outstanding achievements of defeating the barbarian army and recovering the grassland outside the Saiwai on his descendants. Although those in the know know that this fierce battle outside the fortress is the merit of the Youzhou army. But in the eyes of the people of Youzhou, it was the Xiliang Army under the command of General Li Li who finally rescued them from suffering. And that's exactly what Li Li wants to achieve.

Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and prefer to go to the tiger mountains, this is a true portrayal of the bloody battle in White Wolf Mountain. But this is not the style that Li Li has always led his troops into. Once he sensed that there might be an ambush in the White Wolf Mountain, it stands to reason that he would not continue to march, but would stay on the spot, plan and then act. But the truth is that he didn't. Rather, the great army was ordered to move on. and successively threw themselves into the war, thus opening the prelude to an unprecedented bloody battle. After a bloody battle, the Youzhou army was almost wiped out, with less than 30,000 survivors, and the battle of White Wolf Mountain was still defeated.

After this battle, the Youzhou army was almost completely damaged, and from Gongsun Chan down, more than half of the Youzhou generals were either killed or wounded. There are few survivors. As a result, Gongsun Zhan's foundation was quietly uprooted and the potential threat was eliminated. Cut off the aftermath. In addition, the Xiliang army's great victory over the barbarians virtually completely erased Gongsun Zhan's prestige and influence in the eyes of the people of Youzhou, so that the people naturally accepted and supported Li Li.

This was one of the purposes of Li Li's expedition to Youzhou, and the other purpose was to completely recover the barbarian territory, incorporate it into the territory of the Han Dynasty, and bring it under Wanghua.

The king's mind is unfathomable, if it were not for a peerless wise man like Zhuge Liang, I am afraid it would be difficult to see the essence of the matter from such a complex context, and understand Li Li's true intention of using troops this time.

After figuring out Li Li's military tactics of turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands for rain, Zhuge Liang's heart fluctuated violently like stormy waves, and for the first time in his life, he personally felt the taste of accompanying the king like a tiger, and realized the true meaning of the ruthlessness of the king.

Prior to this, on the question of whether to keep Gongsun Zhan, Zhuge Liang's opinion was at odds with Li Li. He advocated cutting off Gongsun Chan as soon as possible to prevent future troubles, but Li Li insisted on keeping Gongsun Chan behind, and rescued Gongsun Chan twice in danger, otherwise Gongsun Chan would definitely not be alive now, and he would have been dead for a long time. For this reason, Zhuge Liang thought that Li Li was too merciful, and it was not a wise move to leave Gongsun Zhan, and there would inevitably be chaos in the future. But after combing the context at this moment, Zhuge Liang no longer has this thought, let alone think that Li Li is too benevolent, and there is no relationship between benevolence and Li Li at all.

Nearly 100,000 Youzhou soldiers died in pacifying the border troubles, and died on the battlefield in the battle with the barbarian army. In a sense, this qiē is all in Li Li's plan, and it is difficult for insiders to accept this fact for a while. However, this is an upright conspiracy, and it is also the same principle to go all over the world, upright and not afraid of people's words. But who knows, if coach Li Li had a little compassion, the result would not be like this; Although the casualties after the war were still inevitable, they were shared between the Youzhou Army and the Xiliang Army, and at least half of the soldiers and horses could be left for the Youzhou Army.

However, the fact in front of us is that the Youzhou army under the command of Gongsun Zhan and the tens of thousands of troops surrendered after Yan Rou surrendered to Cheng, all of them were killed and wounded, while the Eastern Expeditionary Army led by Li Li still existed in strength, with 80,000 infantry and more than 50,000 people after repeated battles. Compared with the two, it is simply a world of difference, which is embarrassing. However, the purpose of Li Li's eastern crusade was achieved as scheduled, not only did he capture Youzhou without blood, but also crippled the two major tribes of Wuhuan and Xianbei. The next step is to recover the lost territories one by one, subdue their tribal people, completely sweep away the border troubles in Youzhou, rectify the rule of officials, and restore the people's livelihood.

After thinking about it, Zhuge Liang no longer insisted on his own policy of suppressing and appeasing him, and couldn't help but be in awe of Li Li, so he didn't say anything more, but did his part wholeheartedly, and became more and more cautious.

In the early morning of the next day, the army marched as scheduled and marched to Liucheng.

Soon after the march, a sentry cavalry came to report the victory: at the time of the third watch, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and Zhang Yan had already led a large army to attack Liucheng. Hundreds of Wuhuan nobles, including Wuhuan Shan Yu Louban, were captured, and more than 40,000 barbarian troops who had become frightened birds were captured. At present, the Han army has occupied Liucheng. All the prisoners of war were held in the Beicheng school grounds, waiting for Li Li to arrive.

With the fall of Liucheng and the capture of all the last soldiers and horses of the Wuhuan tribe, the once powerful Wuhuan tribe was defeated.

At noon, when Li Li's army arrived outside the north gate of Liucheng, an expected heavy rain arrived as scheduled.

After a short time, Liucheng was shrouded in rain and fog. The dust and bloody murderous aura in the sky were all drowned in the rain and mist, and the sky covered with war clouds was quickly replaced by rain clouds, and the grassland outside the Saiwai ushered in unprecedented tranquility and calm.

????????????????????????

Jian'an in May of the third year. General Li Li led the Eastern Expeditionary Army to fight with the Wuhuan and Xianbei coalition forces at the White Wolf Mountain, completely annihilating the main force of the coalition army of more than 100,000 people, and capturing Liucheng, the old nest of Wuhuan at the end of the month.

At the beginning of June, Wuhuan Shan led the leaders of the various departments in Louban to bow down to the general Li Li. In mid-June, he led hundreds of thousands of Wuhuan tribesmen to leave Youzhou. The migration team set off from Liucheng. All the way to the west, passing through Yanmen and Yunzhong counties in Bingzhou, and then entering the territory of Liangzhou from Shuozhou, and finally arriving at Wudu, Hanyang and Hanzhong counties in the hinterland of Liangzhou.

At the same time that Lou Ban led the Wuhuan tribe to move westward, the Xianbei Kebineng tribe in the central part and the Xianbei Suli and Queji tribes in the east, a total of more than 100,000 people, set out to move north and enter Bingzhou.

At the same time, more than 200,000 people from various counties of the prefecture were recruited to voluntarily go to the grasslands. and nearly 100,000 disabled or retired soldiers in Bingzhou, Sili and Shuozhou went north to Youzhou with their families and settled in the Wuhuan grassland.

Furthermore. Under Li Li's rule, the prefectures and counties took in a large number of displaced people, totaling tens of thousands, and were escorted by local county soldiers to Youzhou Pass and settled in the grassland.

At the end of June, under the mediation of Xianbei leaders such as Kebineng, Budugen and Fuluohan, the Eastern Expeditionary Army Zhao Yunsuo was stationed in the Xianbei royal court. Subsequently, with the cooperation of the two forces of Kebineng and Budugen, hundreds of Xianbei tribal leaders and nobles, including Fu Luohan and Micah, were killed, and the Xianbei tribes were surrendered.

It is worth mentioning that Budugen and Fu Luohan are brothers-in-law, and they have always had close contacts, helped each other, and advanced and retreated together. However, under the coercion of the powerful soldiers of the Han army, Bu Dugen took the initiative to ask Ying to ambush and kill his brother Fu Luo Han, and took Fu Luo Han's head as a gift for promotion, so as to win Li Li's trust. Sure enough, Bu Dugen's righteous act of judging the situation was greatly appreciated by Li Li, and he appointed Bu Dugen as "Lord Xianbei", the general of Shunyi, and the commander of the annex state, and served as the general of the county in the state.

Unlike Budugen, Kebi, who is highly poisonous in his body, can be saved by Li Li. After surviving by luck, he insisted on serving Li Li, gave up his position as the leader of Xianbei, and was willing to join the Xiliang Army and follow Li Li to fight. Seeing that Kebineng had made up his mind, Li Li ordered him to transfer elite warriors from various Xianbei divisions to merge with the remnants of the Youzhou Army under Gongsun Zhan's tent to re-establish a Youzhou Iron Cavalry of 50,000 people, that is, the Youzhou Battalion. The newly formed Youzhou battalion was still led by Gongsun Zhan as the main general, and Kebineng, Xu Huang, Tian Yu, and Ma Dai served as deputy generals and deputy commanders, each leading a cavalry team of 10,000 people. In addition, Kebineng also led the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei, did not participate in the training and reorganization of the army, and temporarily followed Li Li's side, striving to pacify Liaodong as soon as possible and eliminate the remnants of the outside world.

In the early July of the third year of Jian'an, Li Li, who successively pacified the two major tribes of Wuhuan and Xianbei, led the army eastward again, and the troops pointed directly at Gongsun Du in Liaodong. Gongsun Du, who had entered his old age, did not dare to take advantage of his edge, and sent an envoy to ask for surrender, expressing his willingness to belong to Li Li's command, and was willing to defend Liaodong for Li Li in his lifetime.

Three days later, Li Li led Jin Yiwei into Xiangping City, reappointed Gongsun Du as the Taishou of Liaodong, and concurrently led the minister of Liaodong, the Marquis of Yongning, and guarded Liaodong. and appointed Gongsun Kang, the eldest son of Gongsun Zhan, as the lieutenant general, and concurrently led the military captain of Jin Yiwei Zuo; The second son, Gongsun Gong, was the captain and served on the left and right. In addition, Tian Yu led a 10,000-strong team of the Youzhou battalion into Liaodong to assist Gongsun Du in training soldiers and guarding Liaodong.

Since then, Li Li's journey to the east has slowly come to an end, and he left Liaodong with his two sons in mid-July, and returned to Youzhou.
