On the seventh day of April in the 14th year of Jian'an, Liu Cong led his troops to approach the Wuxi tribe. The three tall temples frightened the Wuxi tribesmen into losing their courage.
The clan leader Samoko led the troops to resist, but was defeated by Huang Zu, Cai Hao and others and returned to the clan.
"Lord, Shamoko led his troops to attack the camp two days ago. They killed and injured 20,000 people and retreated back to the clan." Cai Mao and Liu Conghui reported.
Liu Cong nodded, "Renovate for a day and prepare for the attack."
"promise."
On the official road from Wancheng to Fancheng, Cao Ren led 70,000 people and marched toward Fancheng in a mighty manner.
According to Cheng Yu's instructions, they did not need to attack the city, they only needed to station outside Fancheng.
After experiencing what happened in Xinye last time, Cao Ren became much more cautious and strictly followed Cheng Yu's requirements.
"Uncle Xiao, why don't we send scouts?" A young general next to Cao Ren asked him.
Cao Ren smiled and said, "Our Cao army's combat effectiveness is stronger than that of Liu's army. On the official road, they have no room for ambush. There is a high probability that we will reach Fancheng directly."
"But doesn't the military book say..." A young general on the other side spoke again.
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Cao Ren, "Zi Dan, Wen Lie, if you stick to what the military manual says, you won't be able to win the battle!"
These two young generals were Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu. Although they had followed Cao Cao for many years, they had not experienced many battles.
"We have 50,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry, why don't we attack the city directly?" Cao Zhen asked again.
Cao Ren shook his head, "I didn't understand this at first. Mr. Cheng Yu said that this was to create a posture."
"situation?"
Cao Ren nodded, "Yes, the Prime Minister said that Liu Cong must be on guard. We Chen Bing and Fancheng are doing it to show Soochow!"
Cao Zhen was smarter and could make sense of it, "If Soochow sees us going south, they will definitely raise troops to attack Xunyang again."
Cao Xiu also thought about it, "If it were that time, we might not have a chance?"
"Not bad!" Cao Ren looked at the two juniors with some relief.
On the eighth day of April, the Wuxi Barbarians were attacked by Liu Jun.
Xu Feng led the Tiger Army and took the lead to attack the Wuxi barbarians. Shamoke led less than 10,000 new veterans and was no match for them.
"kill!"
"Anyone who can block the sharp edge of a tiger will be shattered!"
Xu Feng brutally slashed the barbarians in front of him. Before the battle began, he felt Liu Cong's neglect of him!
Thinking of Pang Tong's words that night, Xu Feng somewhat understood that he might have really made Liu Cong feel cold this time.
Xu Feng vented all his emotions to the enemy.
"General, the enemy surrendered on their knees!"
"Kill!" Ignoring the soldier's report, Xu Feng continued to move forward with his knife!
"General Xu, my lord has an order, gather the soldiers and surrender them!" Just as Xu Feng was about to continue, the ordering soldiers came and shouted.
A large number of Liu troops rushed up and gathered the soldiers to surrender!
"Wuxi Samoko pays homage to the Marquis of Chu!"
You're only a teenager, and you're so majestic? Liu Cong looked at the tall, bare-chested man in front of him with some surprise, "You still have some etiquette."
"My mother is Han Chinese!" Samoko replied, "She was robbed by Samotuo back then."
"Wait a minute, Samado is your father, what do you call him?"
Shamoko was a little angry, "He killed my mother!"
"My mother gave birth to me in front of me. I didn't want to be humiliated by him anymore, so I bit off his..."
"So I hate him, and he hates me, but he is just my son and doesn't dare to do anything to me."
Hearing Samoko's words, Liu Cong tightened his legs, "So, Samoko is a eunuch?"
Shamoko nodded, "Many people know this. You can confirm it by just asking anyone."
Liu Cong immediately asked people to bring Xuanlan and Heshan. When asked, it turned out to be the case.
This made Liu Cong feel a little sad. Sure enough, if a woman becomes ruthless, the consequences will be unimaginable!
"Shamoko, what do you want to explain by saying this?"
Samoko kowtowed and said, "I want to explain that I will not take revenge. I want to surrender. Please accept me from the Marquis of Chu!"
Liu Cong looked at Pang Tong and saw Pang Tong nodded. Liu Cong stood up and walked to Samoko, "Since you don't want revenge, why do you still resist my army?"
What Liu Cong was talking about was that Samoko led troops to attack the camp.
Samoko said with some fear, "That is to consume the people left behind by Samoda, otherwise they would not agree to my surrender if I wanted to."
Then he kowtowed and said, "If you accept my surrender, I will fight to be loyal to you!"
"Haha." Regarding the matter of desperate loyalty, Liu Cong became wary of military commanders for the first time after Duan Kun's incident.
The premise of their loyalty is that they do not touch the interests of the generals. They are also loyal, but unfortunately they do not put loyalty first.
"Relax and take him down." However, Liu Cong still accepted Shamoke.
What he wants to do is to unify China and eliminate the evil deeds! If he can't tolerate these things and can't even control them, what else can he do?
"Thank you, Marquis of Chu, oh no, thank you, my lord!" Shamoko kowtowed to Liu Cong in thanks.
"Lord, kill 10,000 enemies, capture 40,000 barbarians, and capture nearly 300,000 Wuxi barbarians. They are all women and children!"
Liu Cong looked at the military report handed over by Pang Tong and asked, "How to deal with it?"
Liu Cong's idea was to kill these children! When they grow up, they will become a new group of barbarians.
Pang Tong's opinion is that all men, regardless of size, should be used as slaves! These people will be exhausted in labor. Liu Cong took Xuanlan as his concubine to stabilize the barbarians.
Pang Tong cupped his hands and said, "My lord, what do you think?"
Liu Cong closed the bamboo slips and said, "Kill all the bosses, including the infant children. Keep the women and distribute them to unmarried soldiers and the common people!"
"No, I beg you!" As soon as Liu Cong finished speaking, Xuan Lan, who was kneeling on the ground, hugged Liu Cong's thigh and begged.
Heshan knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly, and trembled all over!
"Why did I agree to you?" Liu Cong asked Xuan Lan playfully, holding Xuan Lan's chin.
Xuan Lan's eyes were full of tears and she kept shaking her head, "As long as you don't kill anyone, I will promise you anything."
Liu Cong laughed, helped Xuan Lan up and said, "You are right, you have surrendered after all. You cannot break your promise to others."
He pulled Xuanlan to the table, took out a bamboo slip, handed it to her and said, "Are you willing to arrange this for your tribe?"
Xuanlan opened the bamboo slip and read it.
“First, all men are demoted to slaves and can obtain Han status after twenty years.
Second, Liu Cong and Xuan Lan got married, and Xuan Lan helped Liu Cong stabilize people's hearts.
Third, the history of Wuxi barbarians must be erased, and all barbarian women must wear Han clothes, speak Chinese, learn Han etiquette, and can only call themselves Han people from now on!"
Xuan Lan's body trembled a little after reading it. What's the difference between this and the genocide? From now on, Wuxi Barbarians will be completely wiped out in history.
"I promise to cooperate with you, please keep your promise!" Xuan Lan knelt on the ground, knowing that she had no other choice.
If they cooperate with Liu Cong, those people can still live as slaves. If they don't cooperate, they will die immediately.
Liu Cong chuckled and said, "Take him out."
"Spare your life, Lord Chu, please spare your life..." Heshan kept begging as the soldiers dragged him.
Liu Cong didn't even look at him. Wuxi Barbarians no longer needed prestigious people. He only needed nearly 200,000 women to enrich the Han population!
