"Very good. From today on, all your Xianbei tribes will send all their children to the Wei Dynasty to receive the Confucian education of our Wei Empire. Anyone who keeps his children privately and refuses to send them away will be exterminated!"
"In addition, every year Xianbei will give Dawei 10,000 cattle, 30,000 horses, and 100,000 sheep. If there is one less, one less Xianbei tribesman, do you all understand?"
"Now send dozens of people to each tribe to spread the message. They will gather here after ten days. Those who fail to do so will have their tribes exterminated!"
Zhao Yun's voice made these Xianbei people almost faint.
After one of the Xianbei nobles heard the translation, he immediately showed an angry look on his face, pointed at Zhao Yun and yelled, Zhao Yun was too lazy to let the translator translate, and stabbed him to death.
"Do you understand? Yes, please nod!"
Zhao Yun looked ruthless.
The Xianbei people around them nodded immediately. The few who didn't nodded were immediately shot by Zhao Yun and ended their lives.
"Okay, your people are temporarily detained here. Go and deliver the order. Remember, if you don't come back within ten days, you will be responsible for the consequences."
Zhao Yun's army rested in Junji Mountain and waited for the news.
Within a few days, those who went to convey the order had already traveled throughout the Xianbei tribe, telling all the news that the royal court had been breached, that King Xianbei and Lien had died in battle, and the requirements of the Wei Dynasty.
The tribes immediately started talking and were extremely confused.
At Junji Mountain, Zhao Yun looked at Guo Jia with some confusion and asked: "Military advisor, I think it is better not to ask, just kill them and make them surrender completely. If I were them, I would definitely rise up to resist."
Guo Jia smiled slightly: "But they are not you after all. First, the army of 180,000 was defeated. Now Helian died in the battle, the royal court was destroyed, and the Xianbei people know that I have unified the Wei Dynasty and rule the world, so they must not dare to worry about it.
Resistance."
"In my opinion, these tribes will definitely come here on the last day, hand over their hostages, and declare their surrender."
Hearing this, Zhao Yun could only send out scouts to explore the surrounding areas. In the last few days, the scouts had come frequently to report that many tribes had stopped outside and were all watching.
These tribes did not carry many soldiers and horses, only a dozen guards at most, and they did not look like they were here to fight.
Zhao Yun was immediately overjoyed: "Military advisor, you really guessed it right. These guys really came and surrendered. Just like that, this trip to Xianbei is over."
On the last day, as Guo Jia said, many people came to the royal court and presented their children. Zhao Yun immediately sent people to verify the identities of these people and arranged for them to live nearby.
After verifying your identity, you will return to Dawei.
However, at night, something went wrong.
In a military tent, Tuoba Chi and Tuoba Jinghong, who were entrusted by Helian to recruit warriors, actually lived together.
"Jinghong, where are the soldiers?"
"No one is willing to come. In the battle at Jiluo Mountain, the cavalry of the Wei Empire crushed the hearts of the Xianbei warriors. We no longer have the ability to resist. What about you? Didn't you recruit any soldiers?"
"No, but this does not mean that we have no chance. Tonight, as long as you and I kill the general of Wei, we can plunge them into chaos. At that time, we can sneak attack while they are retreating. This
A large army will perish!"
So, the two men murmured for a while, and after nightfall, when everyone was asleep, they walked in the dark and quietly arrived outside Zhao Yun's tent.
The two of them crept in. Inside the tent, a green lantern was still shining, and one of them, with his head covered and half of the back of his head exposed, was sleeping on a wolf-skin mattress.
When Tuoba Chi and Tuoba Jinghong saw this, they immediately walked up and stabbed the man intensively with the daggers in their hands.
"Stop, stop!"
Tuoba Jinghong suddenly stopped shouting in a low voice, and then turned the man over on the bed. Tuoba Chi suddenly exclaimed: "The straw man!"
"Of course Cao Ren."
The sheepskin mattress suddenly flew up, covering the two of them together. Zhao Yun, wearing soft armor, stood up, yawned, and then shouted: "Come here, take these two stupid thieves down to me, and behead them."
, hanging outside my big tent."
Those two people had already avenged their death. Although they didn't know what Zhao Yun was talking about, they had already guessed their own ending, and they immediately began to scream and curse.
Hearing this, Zhao Yun smiled: "If you don't understand, take him out."
So, a few guards came in from outside and took the two people out immediately.
"The military advisor is really clever!" At this moment, Zhao Yun exclaimed with admiration: "If it weren't for the military advisor, I might have really suffered a disaster today."
At this moment, Guo Jia had arrived and was relieved to see that Zhao Yun was fine.
Seeing Zhao Yun staring at him with a happy face, Guo Jia laughed and asked, "Zilong, was my prediction accurate today?"
Zhao Yun immediately gave a thumbs up and praised: "As expected of a military advisor, no wonder His Majesty is relieved when he sends you here. Zilong admires it, but will there be any assassins coming in tonight?"
Guo Jia smiled and shook his head and said: "How can there be so many blind people? Even if there are, when you hang the heads of the two people just now at the entrance of the tent, who will dare to come?"
While the two were talking, Tuoba and Tuoba were also beheaded, and their heads were hung in front of Zhao Yun's tent. Zhao Yun indeed slept peacefully, and soon after, he began to snore loudly.
Various grassland tribes surrendered one after another, and Zhao Yun and Guo Jia returned to the Wei Dynasty one after another with tens of thousands of cattle, sheep, and people.
The soldiers who entered the court to deliver the good news were already one step ahead of them. They had left a few days ago and have now entered Xuchang.
The conquest of Xianbei was the first war after the founding of the Wei Empire and the largest war in thousands of years.
Zhao Yun's victory is of great significance.
The emperor Zhao Feng immediately summoned the ministers to discuss the matter in the main hall and how to award the reward.
Zhao Feng said directly: "The Wei Empire won the first battle. Zilong and Fengxiao killed more than 100,000 enemies, destroyed the royal court, obtained countless cattle and horses, and even escorted the Xianbei nobles back to the court, using their children as hostages. You think that I should
How to award a reward?"
When the officials below heard about this, they all looked excited.
Xun Yu said directly: "Your Majesty, the Wei Empire's first military operation was to launch a crusade against foreigners. This is different from any previous dynasty."
"Even Qin Shihuang, who fought in all directions, did not have the power to completely surrender the northern grasslands. I think it is of great significance that Zhao Yun and Guo Jia will make His Majesty famous in a wider area from now on."
"It is better to turn Junji Mountain into a fiefdom and let the descendants of Zilong guard the grassland for generations to strengthen the prestige of the Wei Dynasty."
Ju Shou said: "It is true that Junji Mountain was conquered by General Zilong. There is nothing wrong with using it as the back cover. However, I think this back cover is really far away."
"But we, the Wei Dynasty, have won the iconic battle of all dynasties. The heroes of this battle have to be moved there by their entire clan. Who will dare to fight against foreign tribes and win the war in the future? Doesn't it mean that those who go to fight against Goryeo will have to live with their whole family?
