After defeating a powerful opponent, everyone in the army was ecstatic and their morale was greatly boosted. Chen Cheng didn't think there was anything to be happy about. The Huns made too many mistakes, far more than the Liangzhou people.
It's a matter of course that they failed. There is basically no technical content in the battle. They just wait for the enemy to come over, and then rush forward and do it.
Although the Huns were disorganized and had low combat power, they were also full of mistakes. Because the quality of the officers on both sides was low, they could not use any sophisticated tactics. Many times, Chen Cheng was worried whether the troops under his command would suddenly
It collapsed. But fortunately, they still won in the end. Victory is everything.
After Xubu Guduhou died, Chen Cheng spread the news about him to all directions. The Huns who stayed in the north were frightened. Meiji, Jiuyuan and other places surrendered without a fight. The nearby Huns either surrendered or went south to join Yufuluo.
After leaving, there was no major war, so Chen Cheng left Nari Zhu to guard Meiji, Liu Yuan to guard Jiuyuan, and Xu Rong to guard Manbai. He divided the pastures and placed the following Qiang tribes in the Yinshan Mountains north of Linrong.
At your feet and everywhere in the two counties.
It took Chen Cheng a lot of time to divide the grassland, recruit various Xiongnu tribes, and reward meritorious soldiers. During this time, Cheng Yi and Yang Qiu had returned to Wuwei County and Fuping City respectively with their trophies. Chen Cheng bought them with gold and silver.
He took the cattle, sheep and injured horses from the hands of the two men to reward the Qiang and Huns who had made great contributions. He also sent Lu Fang to lead a thousand cavalry back to Lian County to gather the people and resume production.
Chen Cheng himself was stationed in Linrong City, handling various matters on the grassland. Although the Huns only occupied one-third of the grassland and split themselves once, they were the overlord of one party. When it collapsed,
It would cause a great aftermath. If we return north, I am afraid that the Huns will come back, or the Wuhuan people in the east will take the opportunity to move westward and swallow up all the Huns.
No matter which situation it was, it was not what he wanted to see. The situation here was complicated, and he would not trust it if left to others, so he had to repeatedly change the time to return to the army. Even if he personally sat in Linrong City, there were also people among the Huns.
There was a call to bring Yu Fuluo back to take over as the Great Chanyu of the Huns.
Liu Yuan and Na Rizhu, who had killed many Hun nobles, were naturally strongly opposed to welcoming Yu Fuluo back. Especially Na Ri Zhu, whose territory was near Meiji, if Yu Fuluo returned to the north, he would definitely have to
Passing by here, he jumped up and down and said that he would hang all those who had ulterior motives.
Chen Cheng said casually to Ri Zhu's envoy: "I understand. I will go back and tell Ri Zhu so that we can reorganize our troops. If Yu Fuluo comes to invade, I will lead the troops to rescue him."
After the envoy left, Chen Cheng turned to Zhao Yun and said: "All the generals are boasting about their military exploits, fearing that the rewards are not generous enough. Zilong, although your achievements are not as good as those of Cheng Yi and Yang Qiu, they are definitely better than those of Li Kan, Yao Qiong and others."
You are above others, but you don't want anything... How about appointing you as the prefect of Shuofang and giving you the management of Linrong City?"
Zhao Yun smiled and said: "I see Wen Zheng that you have spent the gold and silver like running water, the city, the territory, and even the cattle, sheep and horses. If you give me Linrong City again, what will you have left?"
Woolen cloth?"
Chen Cheng left the brush on the table and said with a smile: "Then it will be clean for a few days."
Zhao Yun shook his head and said: "If it comes to leading troops to fight, I think I still have some ability, but when it comes to governing the people, that's not what I'm good at. If you feel it's hard for Wen Zheng, why not call Yan Changshi here.
"
Yan Changshi is Yan Zhong Yan Bodao. These days, he has been collecting supplies such as grain, grass, horses and livestock in Lingzhou.
Chen Cheng laughed and said, "Yes, these matters between documents should be left to scholars like Bo Dao. We'd better lead the troops to fight Han Sui."
The expression on Zhao Yun's face became serious and he said: "I heard that Han Sui has captured Jincheng and now has three counties. He has strong soldiers and horses, which is not comparable to the Huns."
"Haha, Zilong, you think too highly of Han Sui." Chen Cheng waved his hand and said, "I recently researched Han Wen's military experience and found something very interesting. Do you know what it is?"
"Appreciate further details."
"I found that Han Sui likes to be tricky. He is ambitious but not courageous. He can fight clever battles but cannot fight hard battles." Chen Cheng said with a smile: "If he heard that we defeated the Xiongnu, he might not be able to fight at all.
If you don't dare to send troops and horses to fight us, you will immediately retreat."
"What if he leads his army to attack Wuwei or Beidi?"
"That would be better. There are many craftsmen in Fuping and Guzang, and there are places where iron ore is smelted nearby. If Han Sui comes to fight with us now, he will definitely come back defeated!" Chen Cheng said: "Those new
The equipment Zilong has also been used, I dare say that no cavalry in the world can withstand a powerful attack from our army!"
"In that case," Zhao Yun pondered for a moment and said, "should we take the initiative while others don't know?"
Chen Cheng sighed and said: "I would like to take the opportunity to clean up the princes of Liangzhou one by one, but... I have to use Mount Tai to reach the North Sea. I really can't do it. It's not me.
If you don’t want to do that, you really can’t do it.”
"Why?"
"If Han Sui leads his army to attack Wuwei or Beidi, then I can naturally summon the troops of Cheng Yi and Yang Qiu to defeat Han Sui's army in one fell swoop. But if we attack Han Sui as our main attack, I'm afraid these two men themselves will
You have to be afraid first.”
Chen Cheng said: "And I really have no money now. I have been fighting in the past few months, which has delayed the time for farming. Cattle, sheep and horses have also died in large numbers. I don't know how to survive this winter. Besides,
, Although we have the advantage of cavalry now, the cavalry cannot rush to the city wall. Facing the cities, we still have to rely on infantry to gnaw at them..."
He shook his head and said: "There is no need to go to the muddy waters of Liangzhou. If they want to fight, let them fight. Let's develop our own and see if we can replant some potatoes, sweet potatoes and the like. At any rate, this year will be messed up.
past."
Zhao Yundao: "Even so, we can't do nothing."
Chen Cheng said: "Of course we still have to do something. I am going to write to all the princes in Liangzhou to ask them to stop fighting with each other."
"Will it work?"
"Definitely... useless!"
After saying that, Chen Cheng laughed and said: "If those people could be persuaded, how could Liangzhou be in such chaos? In this world, swords will eventually speak."
He picked up a bamboo slip, handed it to Zhao Yun, and said, "Letters are almost always written like this. Can you help me see if there is anything wrong with the wording?"
Zhao Yun took the bamboo slips, unfolded them and looked at them, with a look of surprise on his face.
"how?"
"Why are these words... so weird?"
Chen Cheng said: "I have always wanted to implement simplified characters. What do you think of these characters?"
"Is Wenzheng going to implement these...simplified characters in Shuofang and Liangzhou?"
"good!"
"I'm afraid those scholars will be unhappy."
"Hey, our territory was conquered with one blow and one shot." Chen Cheng saw that Zhao Yun seemed to want to say something, waved his hand and said: "Of course I know that if Li Kan hadn't chosen Liang Xing, there would have been Cheng Yi.
With the help of Yang Qiu and the others, it is impossible for us to get here. But I also gave them territory and money, and rewarded them for their achievements. They should have nothing to complain about. Now I don't ask them for money or people.
, and the second is not to invade their fields, but to promote more concise writing, will they still rise up in rebellion because of this kind of thing?"
He asked Zhao Yundao: "Do you think someone in Liangzhou will send troops to attack me because of this kind of thing?"
"It may not mean that we won't send troops, but even if someone comes to attack, it will only be to seize the city and population."
"Yes," Chen Cheng said, "Besides, even if they really attack, will I be afraid of them? Humph, if you want to attack Linrong, you must first take care of Yang Qiu, and then you have to go through the spirit
The territory of the state's powerful people then traveled more than 600 miles..."
The fact that Chen Cheng defeated the Xiongnu and captured the Hetao first shocked all the Xiongnu tribes. Because of the intimidation of Xubu Guduhou's head, many Huns took refuge in Chen Cheng's command. After Yufuluo, who stayed in Hedong, heard the news,
He immediately wrote to the court, hoping to inherit the position of supporting the great Chanyu Gutu.
He Jin was busy in Luoyang at this time. Although he was shocked that Chen Cheng had caused such a big battle, he had no time to pay attention to things thousands of miles away in the north, so he appointed Yu Fuluo as the new plow supporter.
He defeated Chanyu and ordered Dong Zhuo, the governor of the state, and Yu Fuluo to send troops to attack Chen Cheng's tribe.
Dong Zhuo had previously stationed troops in Hedong to wait and see the situation in Luoyang to see if there were any bargains. However, as soon as the emperor died, General He Jin immediately took action and took control of the court in just two days, much to Dong Zhongying's disappointment. As a last resort, he only
Neng first went to Luoyang to meet with the general He Jin, and then took his troops to Bingzhou to take office.
After receiving the order from the imperial court to send troops to help Yu Fulo seize Shuofang County and other bases, Dong Zhuo, who was tall, thin, smart and capable, just "hummed" twice to express his understanding. Then, there was no more. Just kidding, he was
Bingzhou Mu, even if he wants to send troops, must first straighten out all the counties in Bingzhou. Only when he is full will he help the Huns seize territory.
Yufuluo begged, but Dong Zhuo was as stone-hearted and ignored him. Yufuluo did not dare to lead the troops northward alone, so he had to send many people to lobby Nari Zhu and others, and kept appointing officials and making wishes to send Meiji to the country.
The area around Mambo is making people restless.
The second person who was shocked was Xu Chao, Yan Xing and others from the North. These people may not really be convinced by Chen Cheng, and they even secretly sneered at the title of Liangzhou Mu. Even if Chen Cheng succeeded in the sneak attack on Linrong, their attitude
It was just a little better. But after Xu Bu Guduhou's head was cut off, Xu Chao was shaken and trembling all over.
He has been in the north for a long time and is well aware of the power of the Huns. Although the Huns are poor and poorly equipped, these Hu people have many soldiers and horses, are poor and powerful, and can even be said to be brave and unafraid of death when they rob.
They have invaded the Northland over the years and caused a lot of damage. Are the Huns so tyrannical that they are defeated at the first sign of defeat? Even the so-called Gutu Chanyu who supported the plow was beheaded?
Xu Chao didn't believe it when he first heard about it, but the facts were there and he couldn't help but not believe it. Even after hearing about it many times, when he heard someone talk about it again, he still felt the same way.
Falling into the clouds.
As for Yan Xing, he sighed loudly to his uncle Yan Zhong in Lingzhou City and said, "When it comes to knowing people, I am not as good as my uncle!"
Yan Zhong laughed loudly, twirling his beard, and said proudly: "I have told you before, Junhou, that is a dragon! If you listen to me, even if you can't be the governor now, I'm afraid you can
