At this point, all the three leaders of the Southern Huns could do was to restrain their own troops as much as possible. As for the soldiers who had defected to other tribes, they could no longer take care of them at all.
Marching like this all the way south along the Yellow River, before entering the Si Lizuo Fengyi, the troops of Shan Yu Huchuquan, the Xian Wang Liu Bao of the left, and the Xian Wang Liu Qubei of the right had dropped from just over a hundred thousand to
More than sixty thousand.
That is to say, an average of one-third of the soldiers of these three people have escaped. This kind of loss has simply made the three of them crazy. But the three of them now know that it is impossible to turn back. They can only hope to restrain their own headquarters and turn back.
When liquidating, don't liquidate on your own head.
As for other things, they were completely powerless to stop them. The three people who were still able to restrain the Southern Xiongnu have now completely lost their authority.
On the contrary, the power of the leaders of the Southern Huns is constantly increasing. To put it simply, the more fierce the robbery, the greater the power they gain. On the contrary, those with brains who are still restraining their subordinates or their subordinates rebel and are directly killed.
Or the strength is greatly reduced.
This is a trap. Li Ru may have known such an inevitable outcome a long time ago. Most of the Hu people in this era are not very good at restraining their own forces. Even the elite Taishan troops led by Chen Xi to capture Bohai at the beginning were not that good.
good.
At the beginning, small-scale robberies occurred in the Bohai Sea, which shows the quality problems of the soldiers at this time. Fortunately, as Chen Xi continued to clean up military discipline, and Cao Cao, Sun Ce and others continued to follow up, the entire Han Dynasty
The military discipline of the army has been significantly improved.
However, just listening to the mutterings of Wei Yan, Sun Ce, and Guan Ping who went north is enough to explain too many problems. Although these people agree with the military discipline prescribed by Chen Xi, they still have the previous barbaric military discipline thinking in their hearts.
Forget about the military discipline of the Hu people.
Later, the major tribes of the Southern Xiongnu discovered that the north seemed to be really empty, and the minds of the major Southern Xiongnu tribes really began to get dizzy.
We are the emperor who issued an edict to go south. What's the problem with getting some food and grass from you along the way? We are acting according to the order. If you don't obey, then you will die if you don't obey.
In the end, the whole area north of Sili and the southern Xiongnu area was almost in chaos. Fortunately, those places were still in the direction of Bingzhou. Although the main force of Bingzhou had left, Hu Zhao was still in the north of Bingzhou.
It's a pity that although Hu Zhao's intelligence is not inferior to the world's first-rate wise men, he lacks strong generals after all. Even if Lu Bu Yuwei stays in Bingzhou and lacks major generals, he can barely conquer the four counties of Wuyuan, Dingxiang, Yunzhong and Yanmen.
If we hold on tightly, we will no longer have the energy to rescue other counties.
As for Taiyuan County and Hanoi in Sili, they were areas where aristocratic families were entrenched. Although they could not be completely preserved, they would not completely indulge the Southern Xiongnu.
Only Shuofang, Xihe, and Shangjun had neither strong generals nor good ministers, let alone the dens of thousand-year-old families. The Southern Huns made these three places a complete mess.
Fortunately, when Li Jue, Guo Si, and Fan Chou left Sili, they fought battles in these three places according to Li Ru's request, which made the place a mess. The place where Han and Qiang people originally lived was completely destroyed.
It made a big mess.
Later, Cao Mengde took control of Yongliang and moved all the Han people there to Sili to ensure the population of Sili. Naturally, those positions were basically vacant for the Qiang people to occupy. Although there were indeed Han people in those positions,
To be honest, there may not be more people than the Qiang people.
However, despite this, after these three counties were plundered by the Southern Huns, hundreds of thousands or even more than 200,000 people were still forced to leave their homes and ran to Sili as if they were fleeing famine.
After all, Sima Yi was among the first to learn of the news, so he made a special effort to draw attention to the situation of the Xiongnu going south. As a result, he learned a lot of news about the north. However, the more he read the news, the more Sima Yi felt that the people behind the scenes had too deep a plan.
The four counties of Wuyuan, Dingxiang, Yunzhong, and Yanmen together are also called the Hetao Plain. This is a very fertile land, so after Lu Bu conquered all the dissatisfied Hu people here, Hu Zhao began
Pull people here.
Although Hu Zhao is a supporter of the Enlightenment sect, he knows very well who is the main branch and who is the side branch. Therefore, after occupying these four counties, although Hu Zhao also educated the Hu people, he mostly focused on the Hexi area.
, Shuofang, Shangjun, and Han people from remote areas in the north came to the Hetao to farm.
The benefits offered were even more brutal than those offered by Liu Bei. Naturally, many Han people were absorbed into those four places. Of course, during this period, Xianbei, Qiang, Huns, Jie and other foreign races also came to settle here. Well, as an enlightenment sect
Of course everyone should be treated equally.
Based on this, the language, characters, systems, and customs are all on par with those of the Han Dynasty. Two years after the Hu people settled there, they basically became ashamed of their Hu people's origins!
Sima Yi basically didn't want to say anything about this trick. After all, he was his own teacher. He often gave lectures and didn't mind any poor and lower-middle peasants coming to listen. However, since Hu Zhao "only" knew Chinese, the people who flocked to him first had
One is to be able to understand Chinese.
This also caused the Han people in several other less stable counties in Bingzhou to either go to Hu Zhao's side or to Sili Cao Cao's side.
Although Hu Zhao currently does not have many soldiers, the will left by Lu Bu in the four counties of Dingxiang is still there. In addition, Hu Zhao is also at the level of a famous minister. If the Southern Huns launch a large-scale attack, it is true that Hu Zhao cannot withstand it.
But if only a few tribes want to take advantage, that's really too much.
In the end, all the tribes who plundered the four counties of Dingxiang were beaten to their knees by Hu Zhao. Sima Yi knew his teacher very well. He was a gentle old man from the enlightenment sect who looked safe and harmless but did not understand the art of war.
In fact, Sima Yi knew very well that Hu Zhao was a young man, and Hu Zhao was over 100 years old. His wisdom of more than 90 years was not an illusion. By the way, part of his military skills were taught by Hu Zhao. The guy just cultivated his beard like that on purpose. In fact,
The other party is a mature man!
Therefore, Sima Yi could guess the marching route of the Southern Xiongnu with his feet, because all the roads to the east were blocked, so the Southern Xiongnu could only go north to Xihe Shangjun.
"The Han people in the entire Xihe Shang County are probably less than half of the Qiang people." Sima Yi said silently to himself.
Looking at the people with their families outside Chang'an City, Sima Yi couldn't help but shook his head. Cao Ang probably couldn't bear it any longer. He was a young man with a humble temperament and a generous and benevolent mind. For such a person, Liu Xie could
The movement is not as important as the displacement of the people.
"He will probably send troops to rescue." Sima Yi looked slightly silent, but he couldn't help but look back at Sikong Mansion, and then he felt a little emotional. (To be continued.)
