Chapter 372: Yan Hou (Twenty)
The battle fell into a state of anxiety, and the tiger and leopard cavalry suffered heavy losses, and neither side could do anything to each other.
According to the original plan, at this moment, the servants and cavalry of Gao Gan and others should have arrived long ago, but they were not able to stop and tricked Wang Jue.
After another half an hour, Lu Bu was already dead in battle and Taishi Ci was seriously injured. At this time, reinforcements from Gao Gan and others finally arrived.
"kill!"
Tens of thousands of servants and cavalry charged against more than 10,000 already exhausted Xianbei cavalry and carried out the final harvest.
Budu broke through in despair towards Lu Bu, but Zhang Liao had temporarily taken over the command of Lu Bu's cavalry and was stubbornly blocking it with two thousand remaining cavalry.
As for the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, there were only more than 300 people left, all of whom were surrounded by Wang Jue to protect the coach.
"Give my father my fate back!" Lu Lingqi had already killed a pair of people and met with Zhang Liao's cavalry, so she already knew the news that her father Lu Bu had died in battle. In anger, she pulled her bow and shot an arrow at Bu Dugen.
Bang!
call out!
"ah!!!"
Bu Dugen's right eye was caught in an arrow and fell down on the horse wailing.
Finally, more than another hour later, the dumplings were wrapped tightly and the filling inside was eaten and clean.
The 40,000 Xianbei cavalry were all dead and none of them remained. The Budugen power was completely destroyed and there was no chance to make a comeback.
But Wang Jue's losses were also heavy. In the end, there were only 365 tiger and leopard cavalry left. Even if more than 100 newly added tiger and leopard cavalry, there were only 500 tiger and leopard cavalry in total.
Ordinary cavalry also suffered heavy losses. 30,000 cavalry lost 5,000, killed 10,000, seriously injured 10,000, and the remaining 5,000 were each slightly injured.
After this battle, the cavalry corps of Yuan and Zhao forces were basically scrapped, but the result was that in the next few decades, there would be no more border problems in Bingzhou.
Wang Jue fought for thirty years of peace in Bingzhou.
In addition, Wang Jue's generals also suffered a lot of losses.
Xu Rong Gongsun Du died in his sleep, Lu Bu died in battle, Tai Shi Ci was seriously injured, and then he could only go to [Taoyuan Academy] to be a military strategy teacher, and could not go to the battlefield anymore. Gao Shun was lost at this moment of crisis, which almost failed the battle. He was even more pitiful than Li Guang of the former Han Dynasty and had to be beheaded!
Wang Jue was not Cao Cao, and he was able to perform the privileged act of "cutting his hair and replacing his head", nor was Liu Bei. He instigated the generals to disobey the military order for his personal affair. With him, he truly achieved military orders!
So, even if he had a pity for being a talented person like Gao Shun, he still had to behead Gao Shun no matter what. This is military discipline!
In this way, the only generals that Wang Jue can use are Zhang Liao and Lu Lingqi.
One month later
After hearing Bu Dugen's fate, Ke Bineng and others expressed their surrender to Yuan Shao, willing to become a vassal of Yuan and Zhao like the Southern Xiongnu and Qianghu.
Against this background, the Monan Protectorate was officially established.
But this is not the end. [Monan Protectorate] is just the starting point. Wang Jue suggested to Yuan Shao that the losses this time were too heavy and needed to rest for ten years. Ten years later, the northern expedition was again to eliminate Kebineng, completely disperse all the Xianbei tribes, and then continue to rest for rest, and then the northern expedition to Mobei and finally establish the Mobei Protectorate.
This process takes at least ten years, up to twenty years.
Yuan Shao obeyed Wang Jue's advice and did everything according to Wang Jue's wishes. If any adviser dared to question Wang Jue, Yuan Shao would be furious.
Staff Xin Ping reminded Yuan Shao to prevent Wang Jue from being so powerful that he was shocked. Yuan Shao was furious and sent Xin Ping to the death penalty and executed Xin Ping soon!
"You dare to question the lonely Yanhou? You all deserve to die!" Yuan Shao's trust and favor for Wang Jue is no less than Emperor Wu's trust and favor for Huo Qubing.
Time Ranran
Another ten years later
Spring of the fifteenth year of Yanhou (225)
The world was changing with all the turmoils. The Cai brothers were defeated under the attack of Liu Bei and Sun Quan. Cai Mao and Mrs. Cai fled to Yecheng to take refuge, and Liu Bei and Sun Quan divided Jingzhou.
Liu Bei obtained Nanjun, Wuling County, and Lingling County, and obtained Huang Zhong, Xing Daorong, five brothers of the Ma family, Wei Yan and Mrs. Fan.
Sun Quan obtained three counties: Jiangxia, Changsha and Guiyang.
At the same time, Cao Cao joined forces with Wang Yi to attack and destroy Han Sui in Liangzhou. Han Sui died. Ma Chao and Ma Yunlu brothers fled to Hanzhong and defected to Zhang Lu.
The Dongzhou faction and the local faction in Yizhou are still fighting in the internal struggle, no different from ten years ago.
During these ten years, Yuan Zhao did not simply recuperate, but adopted Wang Jue's suggestion and implemented the [Die Reduction Order] and the [Three Decision Order] on the grassland.
On the grassland, the tribes that refused to surrender were "killed", "burned" and "robbed" them. This is the [Three Jue Order]. Every spring, when livestock are reproduced and thriving, a thousand elite cavalry are sent to join forces with the grassland tribes that surrendered to Yuan Zhao, and slaughtered those neutral grassland tribes to reduce their population and prevent them from growing. This is the [Trial Reduction Order].
"This is a century-old national policy. I hope our descendants can implement it for a long time. If it is abandoned, a disaster will come!" Wang Jue said to Yuan Shao.
This is actually an expanded version of the Wang family system. The Wang family implements the [Three Decisions] and [Reduction of Dings] every year in Goguryeo. Now, with Yuan Zhao's size, they have begun to implement these two century-old national policies on the entire grassland.
However, the difference is that the Wang family can adhere to a policy for hundreds of years. In contrast, a policy in the Central Plains is often abandoned after being implemented for more than ten or twenty years.
During this expedition, Yuan Zhao sent 100,000 troops, claiming to be one million to the outside world.
These include 20,000 Han cavalry, 20,000 Qiang and Hu cavalry, 10,000 Southern Xiongnu cavalry, 50,000 Han infantry, and 500 tiger and leopard cavalry.
Among them, the Southern Xiongnu Chanyu Yufuluo relied on the opportunity of expedition to the Xianbei to plunder 30,000 livestock from the Xianbei, and then used these 30,000 livestock to redeem his son Liu Bao, who was tortured to death, and in order to avoid being captured as slaves, the Southern Xiongnu Chanyu Fuluo "voluntarily" handed over Liaoxi County, and the entire clan moved back to the Hetao Plain and lived with the Qiang and Hu people.
Yuan Shao naturally agreed to such a good thing. The Hetao Plain was occupied by the Qiang and Hu during the rebellious period of Dong Zhuo. It was no longer the territory of the Central Plains, but the territory of the Qiang and Hu people.
Why not exchange the territory of the Qiang and Hu people for a Liaoxi county?
The thing that the Southern Xiongnu regretted was that they migrated from the Hetao Plain to the Yanbei Grassland. Since they moved to the Yanbei Grassland, they have been tortured repeatedly by the three major families in Liaodong for more than a hundred years and were almost exterminated. Now they can't wait to return to the Hetao Plain to stay away from the evil Liaodong, especially the super vampire of the Wang family in Liaodong.
Two months later
Wolf Juxu Mountain
With the last record of completely annihilated Bu Dugen, Ke Bien did not dare to confront Wang Jue head-on. When he heard that Yuan Zhao's army came to the grassland, he did not care as careless as Bu Dugen, but quickly led his tribesmen to Mobei to avoid Wang Jue's edge, just like the Huns avoided Wei Qing and Huo Qubing's edge.
How could Wang Jue let go of the Xianbei people? He pursued the people to Mobei regardless of logistic pressure. During this period, many Yuan and Zhao soldiers were lost.
For example, the high-ranking officials took five thousand Southern Xiongnu cavalry to get lost on the vast grassland, and then accidentally ran to the Gobi desert. In the end, the five-thousand people starved to death. The high-ranking officials themselves were also killed by the angry Southern Xiongnu people, and their bodies were swallowed up by the yellow sand.
The poor Southern Xiongnu people, they hadn't been to Mobei for too long, and they didn't even know the places of their ancestors, and even forgot their hometowns, so that the Xiongnu people got lost on the grassland.
Jiang Yiqu and Jiang Qi were also lost. They brought tens of thousands of infantry to transport logistics supplies, and then transported food and grass to the desert. They got lost, and then got lost to the easternmost end of the Xianbei Mountains (Daxingan Mountains). They inexplicably fought with the local Sushen people. Then, because they were not familiar with the terrain, they were seduced into the swamp by the Sushen people and were eventually wiped out.
There were 100,000 troops, 50,000 or 60,000 lost, 20,000 others starved to death on the way, and there were no more than 100 soldiers who died in the war.
In the end, only Wang Jue, Zhang Liao and Lu Lingqi successfully chased Langjuxu Mountain with five hundred tiger and leopard cavalry and ten thousand Han cavalry.
The tiger and leopard cavalry were used to eating corpses. They all came over to eat the corpses of enemies along the way, while ordinary cavalrymen were forced to eat the corpses of livestock.
If you are hungry and thirsty, you will drink the dirty water that was thrown into the body by the Xianbei people. Just like Huo Qubing back then, there is really no way, there is no water source.
If you drink dirty water, you will die of illness in a few months. If you don’t drink dirty water, you will die of thirst today. Do you still have to choose?
Ke Bi Neng looked at Yuan Zhao's soldiers in shock. For hundreds of years, no people in the Central Plains dared to chase Langjuxu Mountain. The last time this happened was in the era of Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Wang Changzhi. At that time, it was more than 300 years ago!
"The surrender will not kill!"
Wang Jue was also worried that he could not beat him, so he planned to use fraudulent surrender.
The strategy of fraudulent surrender cannot be used frequently. A person can only use it once in his life, because next time, everyone will worry that you are fraudulent surrender again, so unless you have no choice but to be sure, Wang Jue will not use fraudulent surrender.
But now it is a special situation that he is not sure about, so he can only use it once in his life to surrender.
"The surrender will not kill!"
"The surrender will not kill!"
"The surrender will not kill!"
The voices of Yuan and Zhao's cavalrymen were loud, and many of them were hunted down and were brave enough to be killed, especially the Xianbei people who were frightened by Wang Jue's name of killing god began to put down their weapons and surrender.
Moreover, Wang Jue never killed surrendered soldiers before. In the past ten years, Wang Jue had never killed the Xianbei people who surrendered voluntarily. He did this mainly to reduce the resistance of the Xianbei people. If he killed the surrender, it would increase the resistance of other Xianbei people.
Therefore, there are precedents that Wang Jue does not kill surrendered soldiers, and most Xianbei people chose to believe Wang Jue.
"It's enough to be a prince." Ke Bineng also put down his weapons. He only hopes that he can be a dog for Wang Jue in the future and become a legal prince enthroned by Yuan Zhao.
After the Xianbei people put down their weapons, Wang Jue said coldly: "All Xianbei people, kill them!"
"kill!"
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and Yuan Zhao cavalry were excited. These were all naked military achievements, and there was no big risk. These military achievements were already kneeling on the ground and put down their weapons, and they no longer had the ability to resist!
"ah!--"
"Wow!"
"The people of Central Plains do not follow their faith and fight with them!"
The killing lasted for a day and a night. When it was dark, more than 20,000 surrendered Xianbei people were slaughtered, but Wang Jue also suffered heavy losses. More than 4,000 Yuan and Zhao cavalry were rescinded, and more than 300 tiger and leopard cavalry were rescinded.
After the battle, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and Yuan Zhao cavalry cut the bodies of the Xianbei people and they were about to start having dinner.
The tiger and leopard cavalry were used to it, and they still enjoyed their faces when they ate, while the ordinary Yuan Zhao cavalry, they vomited while eating, and their faces were very ugly.
Wang Jue climbed the Langjuxu Mountain under the escort of Zhang Liao and Lu Lingqi, and saw the stone tablet engraved with the achievements of Huo Qubing, Wang Changyu, and Wang Hongnian.
"Come here, move the huge stone here and get together with the stone tablets of our ancestors. I, Wang Jue, also engrave the achievements of Fenglangjuxu!"
"General Zhang, General Lu, you can also engrave it together!"
Wang Jue took Zhang Liao and Lu Lingqi to engrave the great achievements of the three of them together, and to show such achievements to future generations.
