Chapter 421: Building the City

"Now is the time when Xianbei is in crisis. There are powerful enemies peeping outside and Han troops raging inside. I hope you can unite as one, abandon all hatred, jointly resist the Han people, and survive this difficult winter." The Chinese Army is a dilapidated army.

In the big tent, Murong Feng said in a low tone.

The Xianbei generals in the tent all lowered their heads. After repeated defeats, they lost the vigor that men on the grassland should have. From now on, I am afraid they will never be able to fight on the battlefield again. The Han people have completely defeated them from the deepest part of their hearts.

.

Today, there are only two major forces in Xianbei, Kuitou and Murong Feng.

"This matter depends on the commander-in-chief." Although Kuitou is extremely eager to restore the glory of Xianbei in its heyday, Xianbei's current situation is already precarious. He is not a pedantic person. At this time, there is still a cavalry of the Xiliang Army occupying the king's territory.

court.

"Notify the tribes on the grassland to move closer to the center. The tribes there have not suffered too many disasters. Let the warriors of their tribes rush to the military camp and retake the royal court. It is imminent." Murong Feng ordered.

Xianbei was defeated, Jia Xu mobilized troops and generals at Yanmen Pass, and supplies were continuously transported to the grassland.

The news of the defeat of the Xianbei army spread to various places through Yanmen Pass. People in the Central Plains had no idea about the disaster of Xianbei, but people in the border counties felt the pain. For many years, Xianbei plundered the borders of the Han people, causing them to lose their homes, wives and children.

, even relatives were kidnapped by Xianbei, made slaves and maids, and suffered misery.

After receiving the news of Xianbei's defeat, the people of Bingzhou, Youzhou and Liangzhou celebrated one after another. Of course, they did not forget that all this was because of the Xiliang Army. At this time, the Xiliang Army's prestige in the three states reached

At a peak, when ordinary people mentioned the Xiliang Army, they all praised it. Even officials from various places had to admit that the Xiliang Army had relieved the border disasters that had plagued the Han Dynasty for many years, first the Qiang people, and then the Xianbei.

Yanzhou, where the Han Dynasty is located, also sang and danced to promote peace and praise virtues.

After this battle, Jia Rong's position in the Han Dynasty was untouchable. Even if Cao Cao had the intention to embarrass himself, I am afraid that with such prestige, there would be no results.

Xianbei was defeated. Under Murong Feng's personal influence, they gradually gathered in the central part of Xianbei. At this time, groups of Han cavalry poured into the grassland and plundered the tribes on the grassland. They seemed to really want to wipe out all Xianbei, especially

It was the cavalry led by Jia Rong around Danhan Mountain. The supplies accumulated in Danhan Mountain were more than enough to survive the winter.

The tribes of Xianbei were disintegrated one after another, and the rescued Han people were escorted by the army to the royal court of Danhan Mountain. There were cities and food and drink here, and the Xiliang army could provide them. There were more and more Han people in the royal court.

Danhan Mountain existed like a nail in Xianbei, which made the tribes feel like it was stuck in their throats. Although they tried to organize troops to recapture it again and again, they were unsuccessful. Instead, they were defeated again and again by the Xiliang army.

"Danhan Mountain is our most glorious place in Xianbei. We cannot let the Xiliang army occupy it. Tomorrow, we will organize all the troops to take it back." Murong Feng's voice left no room for doubt.

None of the Xianbei generals in the tent had any objections. The current situation in Xianbei united everyone's hearts.

The successive defeats made Murong Feng feel physically and mentally exhausted, but Xianbei's current situation did not allow for any sloppiness. If he was not careful, he would be even worse than the Huns back then.

After a short rest, Murong Feng gathered 30,000 soldiers, leaving 10,000 behind. The rest followed the army to Tanhan Mountain. According to the intelligence, the Xiliang army there was only 3,000. Under the attack of 20,000, they would definitely be able to defeat the enemy.

Fight and go down.

The Xiliang army seems to be fierce. With tens of thousands of troops, the consumption of food and grass is a big problem. As long as there is a stalemate for a few days, the army will definitely retreat. Murong Feng's abacus was very good. He captured Danhan Mountain and brought Xiliang to Xiliang.

The army suffered a heavy setback, and then slowly recovered its strength, which made the Xianbei tribes feel at ease. With the appeal of the royal court, all the Xianbei people were mobilized.

Among the 20,000-strong army, there were only 3,000 cavalrymen. This was already the most powerful force Xianbei could bring out.

Danhan Mountain, this dilapidated city in the eyes of the Han people, is the most sacred place in the hearts of the Xianbei people. All Xianbei people must not forget that Tanshihuai Khan established the Great Xianbei Empire here.

When Jia Rong in the royal court heard the news of the invasion of 20,000 Xianbei people, he showed a sneer on his face. He gathered just in time and saved him from searching one by one. There were only 3,000 cavalry among the 20,000 Xianbei people, and they were still defeated.

Murong Feng really thought that she was the reincarnation of Tan Shihuai.

"Send the order to fight Xianbei!" Jia Rong stood up and said.

"No!" Zhao Yun and Lu Bu said in unison.

The momentum of the galloping cavalry made the entire grassland tremble slightly. Jia Rong was holding a scimitar and wearing strong armor. He held his scimitar high. The cavalry behind him stopped completely within three breaths.

"Brother Murong, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you so much!" Jia Rong said with a smile.

"Jia Rong? Why are you here?" Murong Feng from the Chinese Army slowly rode out, his voice unable to conceal his surprise.

"Hahaha, I have been in Xianbei all this time, do I still need to tell Brother Murong?"

Murong Feng suddenly realized that no wonder the elite Wolf Army would be defeated by the Xiliang Army. It was understandable that the leader of the army was Jia Rong. At this time, he didn't know how to describe his feelings. Back then, he commanded more than 100,000 troops.

Linbei County was captured alive by Jia Rong who threw his army into the rear. Now he only has 20,000 troops in his hands. The situation is also reversed.

The cavalry under the command of Jia Rong is no less than 5,000. It seems that the information is wrong.

However, when he thought of Jia Rong's respected status in the Xiliang army, his worries were quickly dismissed. As long as Jia Rong was captured, Xianbei's current predicament would be relieved.

"Whoever captures this man alive, I, the commander-in-chief, will make the decision to make him the Lord of the Central Region!" Murong Feng pointed at Jia Rong with his riding whip and said loudly.

The Xianbei army was in an uproar. Murong Feng had been in charge of the central part, and the Lord of the central part was the supreme being on the grassland. Hearing this, the eyes of the Xianbei soldiers showed a burning and eager light.

Jia Rong sneered: "If you want to catch me, I'm afraid you don't have the ability!"

"Kill!" Jia Rong waved his scimitar, and five thousand cavalry rushed towards the Xianbei army.

The two armies were facing each other, and the scimitars in the hands of the cavalry were constantly harvesting lives. Compared to the elite wolf army, the army in front of them was not worth mentioning.

With the addition of stirrups and horseshoes to the war horses, both the endurance and the equestrian skills of the cavalry have been greatly improved. Under Jia Rong's huge strength, he directly cut a Xianbei cavalry into two pieces. The bloody scene made the Xianbei soldiers change their colors.

Most of these soldiers were temporarily recruited by Murong Feng from various tribes. They had no battlefield experience and relied solely on their passion. How could they withstand the wolf-like and tiger-like Xiliang Army?

The five thousand cavalry were like sharp blades, dividing the Xianbei army into two halves.

Murong Feng's face was extremely ugly. Judging from the charge of the opponent's cavalry, the Xianbei army was already at a disadvantage.

"Go and capture Jia Rong!" Murong Feng said coldly.

Dozens of Xianbei generals rushed towards Jia Rong.

Lu Bu held Fang Tian's painted halberd, and when he waved it, he was like a tiger, and the sound of tearing the air could be heard from the tip of the halberd. Zhao Yun held a gentian spear, and the tip of the spear turned dark red, drinking blood

.

The two men rode forward, and the Xianbei generals who were fighting fell off their horses one after another.

Two hours later, the battlefield basically came to an end. Murong Feng led the army to retreat in a hurry. When they arrived, there were 20,000 troops, but when they left, there were only more than 5,000 people left. After this battle, Xianbei had completely declined on the grassland and was unable to affect the Han people.

, but Jia Rong obviously wants more than that.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu, why did he not completely eliminate the threat from the grassland? It was because he could not completely integrate the grassland into the territory of the Han Dynasty. Even if the Xiongnu were exterminated, the next nomadic people would emerge. What Jia Rong wanted was

The entire grassland made him completely become a part of the big man.

"After my lord conquered the grassland, do you want to completely occupy the grassland?" Jia Xu's tone contained a hint of confusion. The Xianbei people had been defeated, and there were only a few thousand soldiers in the country. Even if everyone in Xianbei had soldiers, how could they do it?

How about, there are tens of thousands of elite Han troops on the grassland now. Wherever the army passes, the tribesmen of Xianbei will become prisoners of the Xiliang army, or they will resist bravely and die on the battlefield. Judging from the current situation, it has been

It is difficult to form effective resistance.

"Yes, after Xianbei is eradicated, there is no guarantee that a powerful empire will emerge on the grassland. It will build cities on the grassland, establish states and counties, send officials to govern, gather the people of the grassland together, encourage them to intermarry with the Han people, and slowly eliminate

The wild nature in their hearts brought the entire grassland under the rule of our army." Jia Rong's tone was firm and unquestionable.

Guo Jia took a breath of air, "My lord, it's not easy to build a city on the grassland. It consumes countless money and food, and it may be ineffective. Moreover, the Han people and Xianbei have been grudges for a long time, and intermarriage is also difficult to achieve." However, what Jia Rong said was not achieved.

The temptation to build a city is huge.

Jia Rong waved his hand and said: "I have decided on this matter. You don't need to persuade me anymore."

Everyone was silent. The construction of the city was closely related. Since Jia Rong had made the decision, he had to try his best to implement it. The battle with Xianbei consumed a lot of food and grass, but the Xiliang army's accumulation over the years still had some savings.

Jia Rong said slowly: "It seems ridiculous to build a city belonging to the Han people on the grassland, but there are many benefits. First, the grassland is suitable for grazing and can provide our army with excellent war horses and horse feed. Second, the grassland

Soldiers who can endure hardships and fight bravely are a rare source of troops. Thirdly, they can expand our army's territory. The grasslands are not desolate and barren everywhere. The Han prisoners rescued from Xianbei this time were placed on the grasslands.

, give them the best conditions, and there will be no war on the grassland in the future. As long as they are willing, it is not impossible to move their families to live on the grassland."

"Building a city requires manpower and material resources. Our army has so many Xianbei prisoners. What's the use of them? It's already a great tolerance to let them eat well every day and keep them in cold weather. The funds are drawn from the warehouse.

"

Zhang Li cupped his hands and said, "My lord, this is a great plan!" If the craftsman's workshop is responsible for all the construction of the city, it will definitely consume a lot of money and food. The strength of the Xiliang army will not be able to support it. Building the city is not a trivial matter.
