There are no clouds in the sky, and the fiery red sun has moved to three-quarters of its position.|
In other words, it has been an hour and a half since noon.
One and a half hours is equivalent to three hours. What can you do in such a short period of time? Just take a slightly longer nap and that will be over.
If you don't just row a boat on the river, drink and have fun, you can get over it quickly.
This is the way of ordinary people. It can be said that for ordinary people, this hour and a half is too good to pass, and it is also an hour and a half that is often used for training.[
But this was an unusual day for the Han Dynasty on this day, for Liu Feng on this day, and for Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Dong Gai, Liu Ye, Jia Xu and others who participated on this day.
An ordinary hour and a half.
When ordinary people just wanted to take a nap, they gathered a large army and started a brutal fight with hundreds of thousands of people in Xianbei.
The blood surges up, and human lives are like grass.
In this tragic battlefield, they defeated the Xianbei people and achieved their own glory.
Hundreds of thousands of people.
Even though most of them had escaped at this moment, they were destined to be unable to cross the Yellow River and were destined to be surrounded and suppressed by the Han cavalry. In other words, hundreds of thousands of people could be annihilated in one battle.
In the past, Emperor Xiaowu was tough and domineering, and he used the power of the whole country to fight for decades before expelling the Xiongnu, who fled to Mobei.
The peaceful situation in Monan.
Now, under the leadership of Liu Feng, the Han army only used this hour and a half to wipe out Xianbei's hundreds of thousands of troops.
This feat is slightly different from the situation in the north created by Emperor Xiaowu in the past, but it is not far off.
After all, when Liu Feng eliminated this Xianbei force, he also wiped out one million Qiang tribes in the northwest.
It shocked the Western territories. In addition, the Xiongnu completely surrendered.
Nowadays, Xitu, Monan, and Mobei no longer have the power to directly compete with the Han Dynasty. In the entire Han Dynasty and the entire Great North, no one dares to challenge the Han Dynasty.
At least for thirty or fifty years, the Han Dynasty can enjoy peace. In other words, in this hour and a half, what the army led by Liu Feng has created is that the second and third generations of people can not be afraid of the grassland.
People harassed, plundered and killed.
These two or three generations can fully enjoy the blessings brought by the powerful Han Dynasty, the increase in population, the abundance of children and grandchildren, and the enrichment of borders.
The Han Dynasty became more and more powerful.
This is the achievement brought about by this battle of Hetao. For the people of the Han Dynasty, in a certain sense, it is more important than sweeping the world and achieving unification.
However, among the endless joy, there was also an indescribable pain. In Shuofang City, he was born.
At this moment, Liu Feng was still standing solemnly on the platform where the Han army ordered generals. He looked ahead with joy and heartache. The blood flowing out in front of him dyed the green grass red. [
The corpses piled up like a mountain were hideous and terrifying.
The sounds of pain and lamentation are endless. This army is full of pain.
The achievements are naturally gratifying, but the price paid is also painful.
After all, they had been suppressed for too long in this battle. Liu Feng roughly understood that the cavalry losses were thirty to forty thousand, while the infantry losses were at least ten thousand.
This is the death toll, and the injured are probably countless.
For Liu Feng, this number is really very heavy. This may also be the most painful price Liu Feng has paid in the war since he participated in the war.
"call."
Liu Feng took a deep breath and suppressed the pain in his heart.|
"Da da da." At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps. Liu Feng turned around and saw Deng Ai, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Yu Ren'er, Deng Zhi and other generals who had participated in the fight, all walking together.
Come up.
Deng Ai and others in front were still holding bright red human heads in their hands.
"General."
After everyone came to the general ordering platform, they bowed to Liu Feng.
"Thank you, sir." Liu Feng further suppressed the pain in his heart and regained some of his dignity, saying. Then, Liu Feng glanced at the bright red heads in the hands of Deng Ai and others, and said, "This is it?
"
"Quitou, Budugen, Kebineng, Langmu, Yanzhong, there are many of them."
Deng Ai took a step forward and said.
"It's all dried and hung on the gate of Shuofang City." Liu Feng said with a cold look.
"promise."
Deng Ai promised.
To Liu Feng, although these people are hateful, they are a thing of the past. Liu Feng has not yet made the habit of turning human heads into chamber pots.
What he wanted to do was hang these heads on the city gate so that foreign business travelers passing by would know the consequences of invading Han territory.
"What are the casualties of our troops?"
Immediately, Liu Feng asked questions that he wanted to know more.[
"The dead of infantry were more than 11,500 people. The dead of cavalry were more than 51,000." Obviously, the generals had already made a conclusion. After hearing Liu Feng's inquiry, Deng Ai immediately made a decision.
answer.
"A generous burial and family pensions will be provided to the imperial court, many of them." Liu Feng was shocked three times when he heard this, more than he expected.
Liu Feng couldn't help but feel even more hurt. After taking several deep breaths, Liu Feng suppressed the pain and opened his mouth to speak.
"promise."
Jia Xu and Liu Ye, who were standing next to Liu Feng, both agreed.
Many Han generals said nothing about Liu Feng's pension, because they were all used to it. Liu Feng's policy of elite troops brought not only strong combat power.
And after he died in battle, he received a compensation that was beyond the reach of the princes.
This is because an elite team fights with a small number to fight a large number in every war, and the number of casualties is very few. Only then can the imperial court afford generous pensions.
Therefore, the soldiers who served the Han Dynasty were really willing and had no worries.
However, for some people, it is their first time. That is Yu Rener and other ten generals.
Now there are only six people left among the ten generals. In this fighting, four more people died in the battle. Although they also swore allegiance to Liu Feng to the death, they did not dare to imagine that they would receive pensions.
Therefore, after hearing Liu Feng's words, they were really stunned. Immediately, a deep feeling of gratitude spread in their hearts.
They bowed deeply to Liu Feng and bowed sincerely: "Thank you, General."
"It doesn't have to be like this. There is always a steelyard in Gu's heart. Those who serve for the big man and Gu, no matter who they are, will be treated equally."
When Liu Feng heard this, he shook his head and said.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Feng said: "However, at this time, you have to make a choice. Gu believes that you are sincere to the Han Dynasty, but Gu does not believe in people three generations later."
After finishing speaking, Liu Feng's eyes were as sharp as lightning.
"Please tell me, General." Yu Ren'er and others suddenly felt their hearts tremble, and they also realized that the fate of their clan was about to be decided.
However, they were willing to submit to any decision of Liu Feng. Because Liu Feng was a Han Dynasty general who was willing to provide pensions for the Huns.
"There are not many strong men among the ten tribes of Xiongnu now, right?" Liu Feng did not say anything immediately, but asked.
"I'm afraid there are only 80,000 or 90,000 left." Yu Ren'er said with a sad look in his eyes when he heard this.
Days of fighting have drained the blood of the Xiongnu. Now the ten cavalry of the Xiongnu are even replaced by many Han people.
"Eighty to ninety thousand." Liu Feng nodded when he heard this, then pondered for a moment, and said: "I have given an order to give these eighty to ninety thousand Xiongnu strong men with Han surnames and become Han people. I will mobilize another ninety thousand Han Chinese strong men to work with you.
Mix together, you can nomadically live in the Hetao grassland together. While building another 150,000 cavalry, you can also intermarry and multiply. You will completely become Han people. There is no need to use the name of the ten cavalry of the Xiongnu. From now on, you will be
Known as the Ten Tribes of Jinyun. It serves as the northern barrier of the Han Dynasty."
Liu Feng took a deep breath and said.
Liu Feng trusted Yu Ren'er and others and could give them the opportunity to reproduce. But as Liu Feng said, he could not trust the Huns three generations later.
But Liu Feng would not kill all the meritorious ministers. He made a bottom line and allocated 90,000 Han men to the Huns, as well as the families composed of these men.
The two parties mixed and intermarryed with half of the population. While becoming Chinese, they also learned Chinese language, ethics, and literature, and completely became Han Chinese.
It is even possible to maintain a nomadic life.
The ten cavalrymen of Jinyun became the Han people in the Hetao area. From then on, the name of the Xiongnu, the language and culture of the Xiongnu no longer existed.
However, in exchange, the blood was given the opportunity to integrate into the Han people.
Liu Feng, as the prince of China, the future emperor, and the lord of the Han Dynasty, allowed the Huns to become Han people and survive like this.
Similarly, this is also beneficial to the Han people. The Han people are half and half mixed with the Huns, and they learn from the nomadic life of the Huns on the Hetao grassland.
Become a Han on horseback. Achieve the ten cavalry of Jinyun. Will permanently protect the Hetao grassland and become a barrier to the north.
For Liu Feng, this was a blessing. After all, there were Qiang people in front, and other countries and tribes in the Western Region behind.
The Qiang people were exterminated, and hundreds of thousands of women became slaves of meritorious soldiers. In order to obtain the protection of the Han Dynasty and not invade, the countries in the Western Regions
Pay tribute every year.
However, the Huns could completely become Han people, inherit the name of Han people, and reproduce. This was Liu Feng's preferential treatment.
However, Liu Feng, as a Han Chinese.
At the same time, I also know that destroying a tribe is a very cruel thing. If we do this, the name of the Great Huns, which has been reproduced for many years, will disappear.
Therefore, Liu Feng could imagine that Yu Rener might be a little painful at this moment. Therefore, Liu Feng had a second decision in mind.
If Yu Ren'er disagreed, Liu Feng would have exiled the Xiongnu troops to the grassland, protected a generation of people, and allowed them to multiply and grow stronger. It took twenty years. It was considered worthy of the Huns' contribution to helping the Han people this time.
However, it was beyond Liu Feng's expectation.
After Yu Ren'er made eye contact with the remaining generals for a moment, he took a step forward and said loudly to Liu Feng: "Please give the general the surname Xiao. After the last general, there will be Xiao Ren. The Marquis Shuofang of the Han Dynasty,
"Dang" General Bei."
Yu Ren'er was a lord and general. His title was Shuofang, "Dang" north.
"General, please give me your surname..."
After Yu Ren'er, the remaining generals bowed down together.
In fact, Liu Feng still underestimated the name of the Han people. Now the Han people are so powerful that they can live under the name of the Han people and enjoy the treatment of princes, generals, and commanders of the ten cavalry of Jinyun.
This is very tempting.
In comparison, if they lose the glory of the Han people, they will be bleak. This is the choice of Yu Ren'er and others.
Also, Liu Feng's ability, tolerance, and open-mindedness during this war deeply attracted Yu Ren'er and others.
The most important thing is that Liu Feng is still young, only twenty years old. At twenty years old, if he lives long, he can rule the world for forty or fifty years.
The second and third generations will all live under Liu Feng's blessing.
This is so happy.
What's more, during this period of time, Yu Ren'er and others were exposed to a lot of Han culture and were deeply attracted. Therefore, they became Han Chinese.
No problem.
From then on, Yu Ren'er was Xiao Ren, the Shuofang Hou of the Han people, the "Dang" North General, and one of the commanders of the ten cavalry divisions of Jinyun.
A powerful family that lived and died together with the Han Dynasty.
The surname Xiao was obtained by Yu Rener after reading the history of the founding of the Han Dynasty.
The rest of them also took the surnames of heroes and generals of the Han Dynasty.
"good."
Liu Feng was a little surprised by Yu Ren'er's decision, but he was more happy, so he nodded with a smile and said.
Today, tens of thousands of people lost their lives here, but they gained ten Jinyun tribes and 150,000 cavalry. This will be a force of the Han people, not the Huns.
This is worthy of joy.
Because of his joy, Liu Feng took advantage of the situation and ordered: "The strong men of the Han army have been mobilized under Guhui's order. During this period, the ministers are responsible for building tents and distributing cattle and sheep to the newly arrived strong men of the Han army. At the same time, they also need to hunt down today's battle.
The fleeing soldiers of the Xianbei army are all in charge of your Jinyun cavalry. After the strong men are gathered, you Jinyun cavalry will go north and expedition to the grassland. Wherever you pass, there will be no grass. You will beat the Xianbei people for a hundred years.
Can’t recover.”
"promise."
Xiao Ren heard the words and agreed without hesitation.
The Xianbei people lost their Shanyu and their most elite force. Liu Feng then sent out 150,000 Jinyun cavalrymen to carry out the conquest.
Looting and destroying their nomadic life. It can be seen that the Xianbei people are completely finished. They will not be able to recover for at least a hundred or two hundred years.
This also relieved Liu Feng's hatred. In this way, this war should be completely over.
However, Liu Feng still had a wish in his heart. So Liu Feng smiled and said: "I want to build a divine turtle made of bronze. Set up a monument on it. Write down the year, month, and those who participated in this war.
The names of the ministers and the deeds of the great defeat of Xianbei will forever tell foreigners that this Hetao is the territory of the Han people."
"Turtle?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, but then became inexplicably excited. Isn't this something that will last forever?
"May I ask, General, how big is this turtle? And where is it enshrined?"
Liu Ye asked. He, who had always been calm, became excited because of his name.
"One foot wide and half a foot high." Liu Feng said. Immediately afterwards, Liu Feng smiled slightly and said: "As for worship, that's unnecessary. I want to sink this turtle into the Yellow River and suppress the Yellow River forever. Just like
It’s Jiuding, the same as suppressing Kyushu.”
This is Liu Feng's thought. He is not interested in making offerings and showing off his merits. But he is very interested in announcing to the world that this is the land of the Han people.
Build a divine turtle and sink it into the Yellow River. Even if the land changes, tens of thousands of years later, it can still be declared that this is the land of the Han people.
As for making offerings, there is no need for that.
"promise."
Only then did everyone understand what Liu Feng meant, and they saluted with deep admiration.
This is Liu Feng, and this is the emperor who they are destined to follow for the rest of their lives.
