Eight hundred and sixty-eighth Xianbei surrender (1)
The Raole River meanders forward, and the turbid yellow river water tastes the earth with nutrients from upstream.
The area flowing through it will be rich in water and grass and the land will be fertile.
Different from most other rivers, this river has been recorded as one of the "Six Famous Rivers in the World" in Lu's Spring and Autumn Period. The river is curved, the current is rapid, and the drop is very large.
This is caused by the uplift and orogeny of the Greater Khingan Range and Lesser Khingan Range.
And this miraculous workmanship of nature also makes this place naturally possess the potential for agricultural development.
Now, Xianbei people are the first to eat crabs.
Then, they discovered that the crab tasted really good!
Compared with nomadic pasture, fishing, hunting, and farming crops, it is more stable and the harvests are more reliable.
The well fields cultivated last year produced a bumper harvest in the autumn.
Under the irrigation and nourishment of Raole water, the Xianbei people drove slaves and herdsmen to plant wheat and rice, and received rich returns.
The Xianbei people's stone chambers are now filled with harvested wheat and rice.
For the first time in history, the Xianbei people did not need to risk their lives in winter to hunt for prey and fight against tigers and wolves in the world of ice and snow.
This brought the prestige and authority of Xianbei Lord Qiu Kegu to its peak.
Tribes of other Xianbei tribes, large and small, submitted and surrendered one after another.
This is also a characteristic of the grassland peoples. As long as there is food to eat and the people can be fed, a tribe can easily recruit thousands or even tens of thousands of people.
If there is no external interference, if this continues for twenty or thirty years, Xianbei will definitely become the new overlord on this grassland in the future. At the worst, he can also learn from King Zhuang of Chu and go to Shan Yuting to ask about the importance of the great banner.
such a pity……
Qiu Keju stood on the high mountain, looking at the black Han cavalry on the distant horizon.
He sighed and said: "If you are in charge of government, why should you kill? The virtue of a gentleman is the virtue of a villain..."
"The wind above the grass will kill you!"
His strange tone and inexplicable emotions seemed to be the same as before.
The Xianbei adults and Qu commanders behind him were stunned and speechless.
"That's all. I can't explain it to you..." Qiu Keju shook his head and said, "It's just a pity that I met Yang Hu before I could succeed in my hegemony!"
In Qiu Kegu's view, the Han cavalry coming from afar and the huge military formation behind the Han cavalry were extremely ominous.
Their arrival almost announced the bankruptcy and demise of his ambition.
The Han army's great victory in Mayi had now spread throughout the grassland.
The invincible Zhelan tribe collapsed under the city of Mayi. The big eagle war flag that once dominated the entire world was trampled under the feet of the Han army.
What's even more frightening is that the Han army not only defeated the Zhelan Formation head-on, which had never been defeated before, but also annihilated the entire Xiongnu elite in Munan, including the Youxian King Yin Zhixie.
Such a record, if it weren't for the incomparable facts, Qiu Kegu wouldn't even dare to believe it was true.
In Qiu Kegu's original plan, both the Han and the Xiongnu should suffer losses.
Just like the various Han-Hungarian wars in the past fifty-six years.
The armies of the two countries spent several years on each other, and then they had to stop fighting and make peace.
However, the Han Dynasty did not follow the script.
In one battle, the main force of the Xiongnu in Munan was wiped out, and even King Youxian was killed in the battle.
Zhelan and King Youxian's headquarters were completely wiped out, King Loufan rebelled against the enemy, and King Aries was trapped to death and had to surrender in the end.
A total of 40,000 cavalrymen were wiped out in just two months.
Such achievements shocked the entire grassland.
From Raoleshui to Beihai, from Beihai to the Western Regions. Now, even the Fuyu and Dingling people know the news of the Xiongnu's defeat.
The whole world was shocked by this news, and everyone knew that the era of the Han Dynasty had arrived.
Just like the ancestors of the Han Dynasty a hundred years ago, they will rule and dominate the world again.
No one dared to have any crooked ideas in front of the Han people who had defeated the Xiongnu and annihilated Zhelan.
This world has always been very realistic.
Those with big fists can, of course, dominate and control other people's lives.
Today's Han Dynasty, let alone playing and manipulating, determines the fate of the Xianbei people. Even the Huns have to dance according to their preferences.
"Sure enough, China is worthy of being the shining star, worthy of being the barbarian of China, and the indiscriminate Xia..." Qiu Kegu let out a long sigh, and then he took off his upper body animal skin clothes and untied the clothes behind his head.
Braid your hair to let it spread out.
Before today, he might have been lucky.
However, from the moment the Chinese soldiers appeared in front of him, Qiu Kegu knew that the only way for him and his tribe to survive was to be a dog to the Han Dynasty and a dog to the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
otherwise……
Just don’t say you didn’t predict what you said!
Although Qiu Kegu seems crazy, he has a deep understanding of Zhuxia culture.
He knew very well what would happen to the people or nations who stubbornly resisted Zhu Xia's army.
As early as when he first told the Huns about the news about Wusun's remnants, he had already vaguely predicted it would happen today.
But he never expected that the Han Dynasty would win so quickly, so completely, and so brilliantly.
It's like a bright sun that prevents everyone who knows about this from looking directly at it.
"Actually, there is nothing wrong with being a dog for the emperor..." Qiu Keju thought in his heart: "At least, I can keep my Xianbei people fed and clothed..."
At first, he was just a wandering member of the Xianbei clan.
His cousin overestimated his ability and went to provoke the paparazzi of the Han Dynasty. As a result, the emperor of the Han Dynasty forced the Huns to kill him. His head was made into a wine vessel and sent to the Han Dynasty as an apology.
Then, he was used as a scapegoat and a shield, and was forced into the position of Lord Xianbei by various ministers.
At first, he was apprehensive.
He was afraid that even his own head would be taken away by the Huns and made into a drinking vessel.
So, he had no choice but to act crazy and act stupid.
Use it to escape reality.
However, he never thought that he could sell results by pretending to be crazy and acting stupid.
He stared at the well fields cultivated up and down the Rao Le River and looked at his people.
More than three years ago, when he first ascended the throne, the entire Xianbei population totaled only 30,000 to 40,000 people, with only a few thousand men.
Today, Xianbei has five tribes with nearly 60,000 members.
There were thousands of slaves working the land for Xianbei.
At the beginning of his reign, Xianbei's newborn babies were hungry and crying all day and night, but their mother could no longer secrete milk.
But now, thanks to the harvest from farming, newborns in the tribe can get sufficient breast milk.
Throughout this year, no babies in Xianbei died of starvation.
For the grassland tribes, living is more important than anything else.
Because they know too well how fragile life is.
Therefore, when they are strong, they won't show mercy to others, they will push forward every inch of their power, and they will look forward to Shu. Their desires are hard to satisfy.
When they are weak, they assess the situation and serve as slaves, hunting dogs, and vanguards for the strong, working hard and taking whatever they ask for without complaining.
At this moment, Xianbei is weak.
Xianbei's military force is not even as good as any of the Han Dynasty or Xianbei.
Even these two giants can crush the weak Xianbei to death even if they pull out every hair on their head.

Chen Jiao was riding on the horse, looking at the vast landscape in front of him, he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.
"How brave!" Chen Jiao said, "It is indeed Jing Tian!"
The retainers and Sima captains around him also had angry expressions on their faces, with veins exposed: "I don't think this Xianbei is so ambitious!"
For China, Jingtian is a symbol of Emperor Zongzhou and the core of Zongzhou's etiquette.
Although since the Warring States Period, the mine fields have collapsed and no longer remain.
But everyone who has read knows that ordinary people cannot even touch this thing.
As the saying goes, names and tools cannot be faked.
I haven’t seen it, even though the Rufus are shouting ‘deny oneself and restore propriety’ every day and tout the well-field system as ‘actually a good solution to all problems’.
But in the end, no one had the courage to resurrect the well field on their own land.
Do they really not want to?
I just don't dare.
Ida wants to be resurrected, but no one can bring it back to life except the Emperor.
Just like the name of the military lord Lord Tianzhao.
The emperor does not speak. Who dares to speak?
These Xianbei people are playing in the well fields and farming with slaves. This is like a slap in the face of today's emperor!
The so-called master humiliates his ministers to death.
Any big Han scholar-bureaucrat who claims to be a loyal minister of the Han family and Liu's eagle dog cannot turn a blind eye.
You must react immediately and quickly!
"There are no two suns in the sky, no two masters on the earth..." Chen Jiao couldn't hold back her inner excitement. He drooled and looked at the well fields and ditches in front of him. He raised his hand, ready to give an order.
These fields have been cultivated by the Xianbei people and have been planned into well fields. The ditches and water conservancy facilities have basically been outlined.
If it is properly utilized, an annual output of one million shi of grain should be the bottom line.
And these Xianbei people and their slaves can definitely become common people who work for him.
Organize households and people, and set up pavilions in counties and villages. In a few decades, this place will become the land of China.
A hundred years later, I am afraid that a line will be written in the history of Qing Dynasty: Long considered to use troops in the northeast to expand the territory thousands of miles away, all of China. The ancient Yin Jifu and Nan Zhong were nothing more than this.
"The whole army obeys my order..." Chen Jiao said to her cavalry and infantry, as well as the slaves following the cavalry.
However, what he said was only half of what he said.
Then he saw a horse galloping towards the east in the distance: "Master Zhong, please wait a moment... The young master will be there soon..."
Chen Jiao recognized that person as one of her father's retainers.
He bit his lip and cursed a few times in his mind. He had to give up his original plan.
At first, Chen Jiao's idea was to bring the head of the Xianbei leader back to Huaihua.
This is very simple, a pawn and a sharp sword can do it.
More than three years ago, the Huns used a messenger to take away the head of the previous King of Xianbei and brought him back to Shan Yuting.
Nowadays, the Han army has a great victory in Mayi, and they can do what the Huns did in the past.
However, now, Chen Xu will arrive soon.
There is no way, in order to avoid long nights and many dreams, Chen Jiao now needs the cooperation of King Xianbei. (To be continued.)
ps: Today I was tortured by Cavin+Cervical Spondylosis, so painful~
Alas, it seems that I really won’t be able to stay up late in the future. Because of the repetitive chapter last night, I didn’t go to bed until two or three o’clock. As a result, my whole brain was in a state of mush all day long! sf0916
