About 3,000 Xianbei Hulu soldiers invaded, but only a few thousand escaped.
Seven to eight hundred horsemen were killed on the spot or trampled on each other, more than 400 horsemen drowned in the Changli River, and more than 700 were disabled, captured, or surrendered.
Such a disastrous defeat has already damaged Xianbei's bald areas, and they will not have enough energy to invade Hanyang County again in the short term.
As for the Han army, the biggest gain from this battle was not the capture of more than a thousand horses, but the fact that the cavalry under their command looked like an elite division.
Although Cavalry Inspector Zhao Guang still had some regrets in his heart.
For him, if he had 500 more cavalrymen under his command in this battle, he could have cut off the Xianbei cavalry's return route early and wiped them out!
Naturally, such a result is worthy of celebration.
After ordering the burial of Paoze, Zhao Guang let the soldiers enjoy horse meat around the campfire as they pleased.
The men in the army who are born to face death have long been accustomed to wandering on the edge of life and death, and they have long looked down on joys and sorrows.
After all, as long as the world continues to be troubled, one day they will be buried by their successors. Bonfires will be lit in front of their tombs and they will cheer for victory.
The cheers of victory are the highest tribute to the dead in the army.
As for those captured Xianbei Hulu, the fate waiting for them was to become coolies.
Either in the mines or in the ordnance department, all the remaining energy in life was squeezed out.
As for recruiting these Hulu, who grew up on horses and had excellent riding skills, as cavalry, no one would consider it.
There is no way, Xianbei is notorious in Longyou and Liangzhou, and is deeply hated by both scholars and common people.
None of the great men would harm the common people for the sake of a mere barbarian.
Furthermore, without the fetters of family members, even after being recruited, one has to be on guard day and night to see if they might defect in battle.
No matter which result, the gain outweighs the loss.
As the Xianbei prisoners were escorted back to Ji County, all the counties in Longyou were filled with joy.
The Li common people spontaneously walked across the road to welcome them, especially those of the Bashu noble clan who had just migrated to the Wei River Basin. They were grateful for this choice of household division: the big Han could defeat the invading Xianbei Hulu, which also meant that he would have no worries in guarding Longyou in the future.
, enough to ensure the prosperity of their Silk Road. The only pity is that the cavalry commander holding the two-edged spear is already married.
Some people who were interested secretly restrained their behavior and blended in with the cheering Li Shu people in the streets, as if they had never helped Wei Jun's spies to deliver news.
In other words, everyone in Longyou is at peace.
What is worth mentioning is that he offered wine as a sacrifice and led Liangzhou's other troops to shoot reinforcements.
He took a few followers with him and carried baskets of small stones along the road to angrily smash the Xianbei prisoners.
While smashing, tears came down, and he kept saying one sentence back and forth, "You are a slave and a beast! How dare you occupy the land of my ancestors and insult my Han family's clothes!"
Filial piety and brotherhood are the prevailing customs in the world.
He was gray-haired, and his voice was like Zigui crying for blood, which moved everyone who heard it.
Perhaps Wei General Cao Zhen did not expect that he wanted to harass Longyou with Xianbei cavalry and make the people uneasy, but the effect was to make the common people admire the Han Dynasty even more!
Longxi County, Didao.
Due to the continuous mountains to the east of the Tao River, the garrisons built by the Han army were all close to the mountains and rivers, and the cavalry had no geographical advantage to disturb the border; and the gentle land on the Tao River was occupied by Tang Fan, the leader of the Qiang people at the head of the river.
The Xianbei cavalry bandits were not sent to plunder.
It also makes the county peaceful.
The Xuanwu Army, which had garrisoned in Didao in early October of winter, was quite free.
Zhang Yi, who had been promoted to General Pi, led two thousand troops to guard the city; Yang Ji, who recruited Baima Qiang from Dianshi Road in Yinping County and migrated to the territory of the Han Dynasty, returned with his troops under the command of Zheng Pu after the relocation was on track.
Nowadays, they only patrol the enemy's situation outside the city on a daily basis, and strictly guard against the behavior of some Qiang and Hu tribes who secretly turn into horse thieves.
Another Yamen general, Hu Zhong, was sent by Zheng Pu to lead his 500 Banzhen barbarians to station at the valley road between Angu County and Shangxiamen to prevent the Qiang tribe at the head of the river from being lured by the Wei army and walking up the gorge.
Enter the place where Jiang Wei trained his cavalry and raised horses.
As for whether the Five Hundred Banzhen Barbarians can resist the invasion of the Qiang tribe, there is no need to worry.
The reason is that the Qiang tribe in Longxi County, the Di tribe in Wudu County, the Huawai Baima Qiang, the Shaodangzhong Qiang, etc. all fear the Banzhen barbarians like tigers.
During the Yongchu reign of Emperor An of the Han Dynasty, the Qiang rebellion in the northwest swept across the Qiang people in Longxi County and the Di tribes in Wudu, and a group of bandits invaded Hanzhong County. At this time, the Han Dynasty court mobilized the Banzhen barbarians to quell the rebellion and killed the Qiang Di people who entered Hanzhong County.
There were less than one out of ten. In the second year of Jianning (169), the Qiang rebellion broke out again, and the Baima Qiang also took the opportunity to invade Guanghan's vassal state (Yinping County). The imperial court also recruited Banzhen barbarians to go out and kill all the Baima Qiang who invaded.
The title of Banzhen Man's "Bajun Divine Soldier" was first passed down orally among the Qiang tribes in Longxi County.
To this day, the Qianghu tribe in the northwest, who are proud of dying in battle, still pass down from generation to generation the warnings of "Don't go south" and "The magic soldiers of Bajun are unstoppable".
Hu Zhong camped on the 500 block road of his headquarters, which could ensure that the Han racecourse at the ruins of Xicheng would be safe.
The generals under his command all have their own affairs, but Zheng Pu, as the commander-in-chief, is a little careless.
After arriving at Didao, he often brought his retainer Qi Yacuo and his disciple Fu Qian to the prefect's mansion to visit Chu and discuss music and rhythm.
"The wind and snow are slowing down, which is the time to lie down in the open space and be quiet! The sound of silk and bamboo can make people feel refreshed and relaxed, and it is a way for our generation of scholars to cultivate their moral character and achieve tranquility and long-distance."
He used these words to address You Chu, making You Chuda so happy that he walked backwards to greet you.
Because You Chu was not good at studying scriptures, he was obsessed with music.
Music instruments were often kept at home, and even when traveling or inspecting the fields in various counties, the entourage was ordered to carry pipa, zither, flute, flute and other musical instruments for the entertainment of the official.
But Zheng Pu, as the governor of an army and someone with real power whom Prime Minister Zhuge Liang often summoned to discuss matters, joined the army. It was considered condescension for Zheng Pu to join the army as he liked and come to befriend Yi Jiang with all his heart.
You Chu, who can make the people of Longxi County willing to live and die together, is a good dancer.
For Zheng Pu to behave like this, he was naturally delighted.
What's more, the music Zheng Pu played on the flute was completely different from the music scores he collected.
There are many melodies and techniques that he has never heard of.
Out of curiosity and admiration, he looked forward to Zheng Pu's visit every day.
Therefore, when Zheng Pu occasionally mentioned topics other than music, he also answered them carefully, and he could be said to know everything he knew.
Such as the sphere of influence of the Qiang and Hu tribes in the counties of Longxi County, and how to get them to loyally serve; such as the origin, experience, temperament and service style of many assistants in the Taishou Mansion; such as the invasion of Longxi from Jincheng County from Wei Wei, etc.
Apart from the Taoshui River Valley, there are still many remote shepherd trails that can be passed by soldiers and horses, etc.
It also made Zheng Pu, who had "ulterior motives", quietly focus on one person.
That is the "Jian" that is most likely to be connected to the Wei Dynasty!
