In the Yuanxi year of the Great Qi Dynasty, the Mongolian Khan Hebule led his troops south. While Li Xin left the main force to defend Datong, he personally led the elite troops to detour from Shuozhou to the grassland.

Compared with the Central Plains, the biggest feature on the grassland is that there is no city.

These elite cavalry did not bring much dry food. They saw the tribe along the way and went up to kill them without asking any questions.

Because all the strong men in Mongolia were recruited by Hebule and went to the south to rob. They never dreamed that the Han people who had been robbed and killed came on their own initiative.

Li Xin is a man of iron and stone. As long as he thinks he is an enemy, he will never give him any sympathy.

His men had just broken a tribe and killed all the people under the age of 60. Everyone brought jerky, cheese and other foods, and they would be burned against fire. As for people, they only left the elderly and weak, who were unable to give birth and had no ability to conquer, but were cumbersome.

The grassland conveyed messages not so quickly. It was not until half a month later that Hebule realized that a group of cavalry had reached the desert.

Send people to chase? The cavalry in the desert came and went without a trace, traveled like the wind, invaded like fire, and could escape even if they could not be defeated.

The tribes had no way to escape. It was said that all the tents were burned, and their beards and hair were all killed.

Later, Li Xin took a step further and cut off the young and the children, leaving them as a burden.

In the desert, the population is not very dense, and they cannot unite to resist.

Li Xin's ten thousand people were originally the young and strong elites in Xiliang, and they were first-class strong soldiers.

After robbing for half a month, each person was riding with two or three war horses. Many horses with no one on their backs also marched with supplies.

They were wearing red clothes, elusive, and slowly caused endless panic on the grassland.

Wherever you go, there must be blood flowing into a river, corpses everywhere, and fire and wolf smoke.

The Mongols who have always lived for a living have been constantly coming to the border to plunder. This time, Li Xin took the initiative to attack the Tartar grasslands, and the attack on the morale of the entire Mongolian tribe was more aroused by their panic than the killing of tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry on the land of Daqi.

Moreover, this destruction will surely cause the Mongolian tribes to launch an internal war after the beginning of spring, and may overturn Hebule's already stable rule.

Two months later, Li Xin, who had killed a circle, quietly returned to the Central Plains from Shuozhou. At this time, the Mongols had already begun to deploy a retreat north. They went south twice and got nothing except the dead.

Hebule must concentrate on dealing with the upcoming division and betrayal. Everyone knows that many tribes that were killed will not continue to obey him, the Khan. There are even ambitious people who want to take advantage of his two defeats to replace him and become the Khan on the grassland.

Li Xin's move not only made the Mongols feel hated, but also made many curses in the Central Plains.

Because his methods were too cruel, the war reports came back, and many officials in the court blocked Chen Shou's water pavilion and sued Li Xin for his slander.

Chen Shou was silent in the water pavilion. Several officials in the hall spoke dryly and said righteously.

"I have never had such a tyrannical person in China, a country of etiquette."

Chen Shou waved his hand, his face was as deep as water, and sighed: "Tell Di Bao that you are not allowed to report and write news about this matter indiscriminately. Let the Ministry of War write an article in Di Bao himself, saying that Li Xin was attacking Mongolia in the north, killing the elite Tartars, and guarding the people of the border."

"Mr. Marquis!"

Chen Shou knocked on the table and shouted in a low voice: "As long as you do!"

"...yes."

The people in the hall looked gray and unhappy, and sighed and retreated.

On that day, there were five people who retired and returned home and resigned from office. There was a lot of discussion among the people, but it was very different from the court. Many people applauded after they knew about it.

After the Tang Dynasty crossed the south, the Han people in the northern region were cruelly abused by the Hu people. If Taizu had not emerged, he would not know how long it would have to endure. Are those alien races worthy of calling people? The people do not read poetry and books, but they know hatred. How many of their ancestors, how many of their ancestors, who had died tragically under the butcher knife of the Hu people, hated these beasts so much.

Many people among the people have taken the initiative to build a temple for Li Xin, and the small music drama adapted from him has been widely circulated.

Chen Shou also felt that Li Xin was a bit too much, but this was really the best way. Otherwise, Mongolia would become stronger and I don’t know how many people would die on the border. Even the Central Plains were very dangerous. At this time in history, the Mongolians began to rise and killed 200 million people. What does 200 million people mean? During World War II, the army used planes and cannons to kill 50 million people, and the Mongolians killed more than three times the total deaths in World War II.

During the rise of Mongolia's foreign invasion, 70 million Han people died, twice the number of casualties paid in the War of Resistance Against Japan. Moreover, not all of them were dead. Another one was injured, of which 67 million died of direct massacre. Kublai Khan killed 18 million Han people.

20 million died in Xixia, and 800,000 were slaughtered in a city in Yinchuan. As for the victim, Dajin, it was also very miserable. Yanjing was slaughtered by one million, and Wanyan's surname was tragically exterminated.

They killed one and two million people in Samarkand, Central Asia (the capital of Khwarezm).

Genghis Khan has a famous saying, which is the motto of the Mongolians in that era: The greatest joy of life is to kill all the enemies, rob all their property, watch their relatives cry, ride their horses, and rape their wives and daughters.

Chen Shou felt that Li Xin did nothing wrong. After all, it was not Da Qi who sent someone to Mongolia to kill people first, but they violated the border for no reason.

Standing up, Chen Shou looked out from the railing with his hands behind his back.

The autumn is getting stronger and the beginning of winter is approaching. This year's border gate will probably be calm for a long time after this battle. In fact, if it weren't for the split of the Central Plains and the serious internal strife, this would be a great opportunity for the North to attack out of the pass.

As for now, it is definitely impossible to send troops to sweep the desert, because once you put your troops in the desert, your territory will soon be divided up by a group of wolves.

Especially Chen Shou, there was no such condition. Li Xin dared to do this. To put it bluntly, he had no selfishness, no territory, and no thought of separatism. Moreover, there was Xiliang behind him, and no one dared to take the opportunity to go to Yingzhou Prefecture, Datong.

The forces around Yingzhou Prefecture are Qin Rong, Xiliang, Mongolia and Hedong. Except for Mongolia, who can't chew on it, so who is idle and has nothing to do, then they go there to become the shield for the Mongols to go south and guard the pass for others.

It is conceivable that if the Mongols must return to the desert, the pressure on Hedong will suddenly decrease. At least the hundred thousand Mongolian elite cavalry will be removed, most or even all.

Jiang Chucai, a traitor beast, then I see how you resist Zhang Zhengyuan's army. Chen Shou was secretly ruthless in his heart and must catch this thief and cut it alive.
