Sedum Lie's Red Flame Army was finally solved, leaving only the barbarians as the problem in the north.
In the mansion of the commander of Yanmen Pass, Zhang Man spread out a map. Emperor Lingyi pointed to the mark on the map and said: "This is Yanmen Pass. 500 miles to the north is Wuli Mountain. After Wuli Mountain, about 50 miles to the north, is Ahe."
"Bo, Yeluhong's tooth tent is here."
Emperor Lingyi fought against the barbarians at Yanmen Pass and collected a lot of information. The map is the most basic.
In addition to the Eastern Zhou cavalry survey and mapping, the most important source of this map is the cavalry of the Tianxiahui.
The world is not monolithic. Di Lingyi spent money to buy a lot of information.
"You raided the barbarians last night. Yeluhong led the troops and fled north. I don't know where they are now."
"I sent the cavalry out to investigate, but they haven't come back yet."
After Di Lingyi finished speaking, Long Chen looked at the map carefully.
The base camp of the barbarians is in Ahebo, and Wuli Mountain in the south runs east to west, blocking it like a barrier.
The southwest of Ahebo connects to Xixia, which is relatively deserted. The east is rich in water and grass in summer and is the territory of the Dan tribe.
"Ahebo is where Shan Yu's tent is now. Once the war breaks out, they can leave at any time."
The barbarians lived by water and grass, driving their cattle and sheep everywhere, unlike the people in the Central Plains who wanted to defend their land and cities.
This is also the most troublesome part. The barbarians don't have a city, so they have to find talents if they want to fight decisively.
"Yes, when Jing Feng was here, we jointly attacked several times, but the effect was not great. They ran away when we arrived, and when we came back, they harassed us again, and even quietly detoured to Xixia and entered Dazhou from the west to plunder."
Emperor Lingyi's garrison at Yanmen Pass was not a passive defense. He also took the initiative to attack, but no one could be found.
"Have the barbarians suffered big losses before?"
Long Chen asked.
Di Lingyi was a little embarrassed and said: "Our largest harvest was only more than three thousand, which is not as good as yours."
Last night's surprise attack killed 60,000 people and captured 3,000 people. It was more results than Di Lingyi had achieved in several years.
"What is Yeluhong's personality like?"
"Retribution must be repaid, we After every raid, Yeluhong would take revenge."
Long Chen nodded and said: "Then he will definitely counterattack!"
Zhang Man was very worried and asked: "Then we will prepare to face the enemy immediately?"
Long Chen nodded and said: "Be prepared, set up the bed crossbow and divine arm bow, and prepare to fight."
Long Chen brought the bed crossbow and divine arm bow, and Linglong Pavilion also sent some.
Zhang Man went to arrange it immediately.
"But I have to do something else first."
Long Chen thought for a while and decided to add some ingredients.
"What's your trick?"
Di Lingyi was very curious about what Long Chen was thinking.
In just two days, Long Chen defeated the barbarians, disintegrated the Red Flame Army, and killed Jing Tianlie. Emperor Lingyi admired him very much.
"What is a trick? This is called a strategy."
"Where are the barbarian prisoners kept?"
"In the jail behind."
"You are like this."
After Long Chen gave some instructions, Emperor Lingyi nodded and said: "Good idea, I will arrange it!"
Yanmenguan Prison.
More than 3,000 barbarian prisoners were imprisoned in several cells, with Zhou troops guarding them outside.
"Brothers, it's changing of the guard!"
Several Zhou soldiers came over tiredly, and the soldier on duty asked: "What's wrong with you?"
The soldiers who were changing the guard complained: "Jing Tianlie, this thief is too fierce. The Red Flame Army fought to the death. We suffered heavy casualties, more than 40,000 people died."
The soldier on duty exclaimed: "Then how many brothers do we have left?"
The soldier changing the guard sighed: "There are less than 30,000. The princess sent people back to the capital to ask for help, because she is afraid of the barbarian counterattack."
The soldiers on duty sighed repeatedly:
"Why doesn't this bitch go fight with the barbarians, but instead comes to fight us to the death?"
After the soldier scolded Jing Tianlie, he handed over his post and went out.
The new soldier on duty sat down, leaned against the wall and fell asleep tiredly.
In the cell, a man with a round face and a round waist looked at the key on the soldier's body and motioned to the barbarians nearby to take action.
After searching on the ground for a long time, I found a piece of wood, slowly hooked the key over, and then gently opened the copper lock.
The man tiptoed out of the cell door, followed by dozens of barbarian soldiers. He quietly slipped out of the cell, stole the war horse in the yard, opened the small door, and ran all the way north.
Just after running a few hundred meters, the Zhou cavalry came chasing behind them, shouting: "The barbarians have escaped, kill them!"
A burst of arrows shot from behind, many barbarian soldiers were shot to death, and the rest fled in panic.
On the wall of Yanmen Pass, Long Chen looked at the fleeing barbarian soldiers and said, "I hope Yeluhong is not a coward!"
Emperor Lingyi said: "The fighting power of the barbarians is not weak. You were able to kill so many people last time because you were caught off guard."
Long Chen said: "I know, so we have to be ready!"
During the battle at Bailang Mountain, Long Chen had fought with the barbarians and knew how powerful the barbarians were.
Emperor Lingyi nodded and personally inspected and deployed the defenses.
Long Chen arrived at the south side of Yanmen Pass, where there were still more than 10,000 surrendered Red Flame troops.
Some of the 30,000 Red Flame troops surrendered, while others fled back home over the mountains.
Wu Xiangyun was responsible for sending people to guard him. When he saw Long Chen coming, he quickly came to see him.
Long Chen stood on a high place and shouted to the Red Flame Army below: "Jing Tianlie is dead. His body has been transported back to the capital. From now on, there will be no Red Flame Army."
"From today on, you are the common people of Zhou Dynasty. Let the past things be forgotten. I have written to the emperor that the government will not investigate your old accounts."
"Now, you line up, everyone collects Travel money home!”
The Red Flame Army thought that Long Chen would make them pay for their crimes and serve as the vanguard to die at Yanmen Pass, but they didn't expect that they would go back like this.
"General Xie Long!"
The Red Flame Army was very grateful.
Long Chen asked Wu Xiangyun to give money, one hundred cents to each person, and ten noodles, and let them go back on their own.
More than 10,000 Red Flame troops were disbanded on the spot.
Long Chen thought about integrating them, but finally gave up.
These people belong to the defeated army, have no fighting spirit, and do not want to fight. Forcing them into the team will only reduce the combat effectiveness of the Long family army.
If you put it back, you can also cultivate land to produce food, which will be more useful to Dazhou.
Back at the Commander's Mansion, Long Chen continued to study the map, thinking about how to completely pacify the northern border.
After the barbarian deserters came out of Yanmen Pass, they rode horses all the way to the southern foot of Wuli Mountain. They felt relieved when they saw the barbarian army.
When the man with a big face and round waist saw the barbarian army, he rolled off his horse in excitement. The barbarian soldiers quickly came over to help the man up.
"Clan Chief Zhuo Lie, Chief Zhuo Lie is back!"
The barbarian soldiers were surprised to find that the chief of the Supu tribe had actually escaped.
Yeluhong was discussing matters in the Yazhang. The barbarian soldiers rushed into the Yazhang and paid homage: "Chanyu, Chief Zhuolie is back!"
Yeluhong was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Bring him in!"
Soon, Zhuo Lie was helped into the dental tent. Yeluhong sat at the top. Next to him sat a man wearing a wolf fur coat. This man was Ke'ele, the general of the Dan tribe. Below him was an old man with gray hair.
, this man is the barbarian wise man Abuji; there is a young man opposite, this man is the prince Yeluguang.
"Chanyu!"
Zhuo Lie lay on the ground, feeling like he was surviving a disaster.
