Chapter 254: Dangping Wuhuan

The smoke of gunpowder has not yet completely disappeared, but the decisive battle at the foot of Wuhuan Mountain has come to an end. When the two tigers, Zhao Yun and Xu Chu, entered the core camp of the Wuhuan people, the battle was decided. More than a dozen Wuhuan leaders were killed by Zhao Yun and Xu Chu without exception. After losing their respective tribal leaders, the Wuhuan army, which had no determination to resist, quickly collapsed. One-fifth of the 200,000 troops were killed by Ao Lie's soldiers, and the rest became prisoners of the Han army.

By defeating 200,000 Wuhuan cavalry with 60,000 troops and capturing more than 150,000 prisoners, Ao Lie once again created a great miracle. The 150,000 Wuhuan people were willing to throw away their weapons and surrender. In addition to the prestige that Ao Lie has accumulated over a long period of time, which makes them unable to resist, there are other reasons.

Among these 150,000 Wuhuan people, many of them were brought by tribal leaders. They were not willing to set foot on the battlefield. Now that the leaders of various tribes have been killed, they no longer have the desire to continue fighting. In addition, it is well known that Ao Lie treats the prisoners well. They believe that Ao Lie will not kill him. Take the Wuhuan prisoners as an example. As long as they are willing to accept the sinicization after surrendering and move to the mainland, Ao Lie will not only not kill them, but will also give them a settlement fee, so that they can live a better life in the mainland and bid farewell to the difficult nomadic life. This is also one of the reasons why these prisoners are willing to surrender.

Wuhuan, which had been entrenched in the north of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, finally came to an end after countless glory and troughs. He was defeated by Ao Lie and passively accepted the Chineseization, and officially withdrew from the stage of history and became the fourth ethnic minority to integrate into the Han Dynasty after Xianbei, Fuyu and Goguryeo.

After the post-war counting, in this battle, more than 40,000 soldiers died in Wuhuan, which was heavy news. In order to express the harm he had to use force to bring to the Wuhuan people, Ao Lie immediately ordered a portion of the food and grass to be distributed to the families of the soldiers who died in the battle. At the same time, Ao Lie guaranteed that after moving to the mainland, he would receive the same treatment as the Han people and would not encounter any uncommon treatment. At the same time, Ao Lie would also move some Han people to live in Wuhuan Mountain and build a beautiful home with the Wuhuan people who stayed here. Ao Lie did this. To the greatest extent, the hatred in the hearts of the Wuhuan people was eliminated and they began to gradually accept the sinicization. The dead were gone, but the future life was beautiful. Ao Lie planted a seed of hope in their hearts.

On the other hand, the Han army's war losses were also counted. The three elite troops, including the Blood Killing Army, did not suffer much damage due to the strong armor. In total, they only lost more than a thousand people. Although Ao Lie was heartbroken about the deaths of these elite soldiers, they were still within the acceptable range. Compared with the elite troops, the new soldiers led by Zhang Liao and Xu Huang had large casualties. Although Zhang Liao and Xu Huang were both famous generals in the world, they could not fight on behalf of each new soldier. Under the baptism between war and life and death, the deaths of 40,000 new soldiers were as high as 15,000, which were nearly half of the total.

Death is the most expensive price for the new recruits to transform into veterans. After paying the price of blood and life, Ao Lie believes that the remaining more than 20,000 new recruits will soon break out of their cocoon and become butterflies. Under the baptism of blood and fire, they will complete their own transformation, transform into veterans, and even elite soldiers. Every such transformation will cause a large number of new recruits to lose their lives and will never stand up on the battlefield. Even Ao Lie cannot change this.

While defeating the Wuhuan army, the shadow members in charge of Li Ru quickly passed the results of the battle back to Yanjing. After discussing with other civil and military personnel, Jia Xu and Xun Yu decided to send Taishi Ci to lead the second recruit to Wuhuan Mountain. At the same time, Gongsun Zan strongly advised Tian Yu to follow the army to take over the work of garrisoning Wuhuan and to sinicize the people of Wuhuan. Tian Yu was originally a subordinate of Gongsun Zan, with both civil and military affairs, and was somewhat similar to Li Yan. Both in terms of governance and archery skills and archery skills, they were all first-class talents. Before Ao Lie went to the Wuhuan campaign, he had already determined that he would manage the former Han Dynasty's guarding Wuhuan Captain's Office in the future and take charge of the Wuhuan Captain's Office.

The Wuhuan Captain is a military position, responsible for supervising the people in the Wuhuan territory to be law-abiding internally and not abducting the Xiongnu people from outside. The Wuhuan Captain's headquarters is basically the position of the Wuhuan territory, equivalent to the position of the governor of a state, and is a member of a salary of 1,000 stones. Ao Lie made a decision after careful consideration. Tian Yu was a subordinate of Gongsun Zan, but Gongsun Zan strongly recommended Tian Yu to reach the same level as Gongsun Zan. This shows Tian Yu's ability and charm, which made Gongsun Zan highly appreciate it and did not want to see such a great talent like Tian Yu buried in the world.

As for Ao Lie himself, he does not have many candidates to be qualified for this position. Although Ao Lie has many capable people, with the expansion of the outside world, Ao Lie now has too large territory, which is so large that he is stretched when using talents. In terms of region alone, Ao Lie is already the largest prince in the world. As for Zhuge Liang and others under his command, although he is fully qualified to be the governor of a state, Ao Lie has a great position, but Ao Lie

But he didn't want to put them in the remote Wuhuan School Commander's headquarters. The place where they really displayed their talents should be in the hinterland of the Han Dynasty and in the Central Plains! Especially Zhuge Liang, Ao Lie really wanted to give him a bigger stage and let him fully display his talents. It was impossible for him to manage border affairs. Tian Yu was different. He lived in the frontier for a long time, was proficient in the language of multiple ethnic minorities, and had strong coordination skills and was very good at communication. He was the best candidate for dealing with the sinicization of ethnic minorities.

Besides, with Ao Lie's familiarity with history, he knew that Tian Yu was an expert in governing ethnic minorities in history, and was a leading figure who had been guarding the northern border for many years in the middle and late period of the Cao Wei Empire. Under his management, the people of ethnic minorities lived in peace with the Han people, and almost no riots broke out. This was a very rare political achievement in the Han Dynasty and even in the entire ancient times. Ao Lie was really at ease to hand over the Wuhuan Captain's Headquarters to Tian Yu. Of course, Ao Lie believed that the name of Wuhuan Captain's Headquarters also needed to be changed, just like the Weixian Captain's Headquarters Headquarters. It should be officially named the name of the Han Dynasty. As for how to name it, Ao Lie still decided to let Liu Xie deal with it. He had written a letter to Liu Xie and asked Liu Xie to name Xinzhou again. Turn the Wuhuan Captain's Headquarters into the fifteenth state of the Han Dynasty.

So, under the command of Taishi Ci and Tian Yu, another 30,000 new troops embarked on the journey. They would replace the new recruits who set out before and follow Ao Lie to participate in the subsequent conquest of the Huns. Tens of thousands of Han people rushed to Wuhuan Mountain with them. They volunteered to live in the territory of Wuhuan because they believed that the land on Wuhuan was more abundant and the food was planted, which was a good place for life. When Taishi Ci and Tian Yu rushed to Wuhuan Mountain and reunited with Ao Lie's army, half a month had passed. During this half month, Ao Lie, Zhuge Liang and others visited many Wuhuan tribes to appease and comfort them, greatly eliminating the Wuhuan people's guard against the Han people in their hearts, laying a solid foundation for Tian Yu's upcoming work.

After Tian Yu officially took office, Ao Lie did not rush to leave Wuhuan Mountain and go to fight against the Xiongnu. He wanted to see how Tian Yu's actual work ability was and whether it was as outstanding as recorded in history. At the same time, Ao Lie was also a little worried about the Wuhuan people who had just surrendered. He was afraid that if he led the army to leave, the Wuhuan people would have repeated recurrences. In that case, it would be equivalent to cutting off the retreat of the army. Let the army be in the cracks between the Xiongnu and the Wuhuan, and the situation would become very difficult. After more than ten days of observation, Tian Yu did not disappoint Ao Lie. Based on the laws of Yanjing, he implemented a series of policies. He maximized the dispel of the doubts in the hearts of the Wuhuan people, and allowed them to gradually begin to accept the thoughts and culture of the Han people, and gradually integrate into the lives of the Han people.

The Han people who voluntarily moved to Wuhuan Mountain also played a crucial role in this process. They used the unique enthusiasm of the Han people to teach advanced farming methods to the local Wuhuan people, and taught them to use the new farming tools developed by Ma Jun, so that the Wuhuan people could see the hope of a good harvest and get rid of the backward nomadic life. However, the Wuhuan people pursued the dreams of several generations, and the Han people who moved now have opened their hearts to them selflessly, making their hearts full of touch.

After a month of rest and rectification, Liu Xie's edict was issued to Wuhuan Mountain. In the edict, Liu Xie expressed endless joy for Ao Lie's feat of expanding territory again, and praised Ao Lie greatly, agreed to his proposal to eliminate the Wuhuan lieutenant's headquarters and renamed Mingzhou. After Guangzhou, Mingzhou officially became the fifteenth state of the Han Dynasty. The names of the two states meant the light, which means that the Han Dynasty would definitely reappear!

The light of light was brought by Ao Lie. Therefore, Liu Xie, as usual, handed over the management power of Mingzhou to Ao Lie. All the matters in Mingzhou were decided by Ao Lie alone, and only taxes were paid on time. Liu Xie's emperor's edict made Ao Lie legitimately become the number one vassal in the world, taking charge of the military and political affairs of the four northern prefectures. In terms of territory and military quality, no one can match Ao Lie! The vastness of the Youbing area and the northern border is not comparable to that of the narrow prefectures in the Central Plains, and it is also famous for its abundant supply of fierce soldiers. I will not say anything else.

Just talking about cavalry, the cavalry of the two ethnic groups, Xianbei and Wuhuan, is enough to be proud of the world. After training by Gao Shun, Xu Rong and others, in time, Ao Lie's command will surely appear under his command that can always dominate the world. The only thing Ao Lie lacks at the moment is its economic deficiencies. Although the north is wider than the south of the Central Plains and the people are strong, it is far behind the south of the Central Plains in terms of economy. Ao Lie has no way to break this bottleneck for the time being. After all, the conditions are there, and it cannot be changed by Ao Lie alone.

Like before, Liu Xie did not give Ao Lie a title, but this time it was different from last time. Last time Liu Xie wanted to test Ao Lie. This time, Liu Xie originally wanted to be the king of Ao Lie, but he changed his mind under the dissuasion of civil and military ministers such as Huangfu Song, Zhong Yao, Zhu Jun. The reason is very simple. A big tree attracts wind, and the wood is in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Huangfu Song and others do not want to see Ao Lie being jealous and jealous of other princes because of his status promotion and reward, and then set up an ambush in Shaxian again. Now Ao Lie can be said to be the last remaining fire seed of the Han Dynasty. Anyone who is truly loyal to the Han Dynasty does not want to see Ao Lie being attacked by other princes.

Therefore, while Liu Xie issued the edict, he also wrote a private message to Ao Lie, explaining the whole story of not being named king of Ao Lie so as not to have any unnecessary misunderstandings between the two brothers. After reading Liu Xie's private message seriously, Ao Lie did not feel any dissatisfied. Instead, he said with a smile: "Xiao Xiezi, I have grown up..."

Three days later, Ao Lie appointed Tian Yu as the first governor of Mingzhou, and took Wuhuan Mountain as its capital, leading 20,000 soldiers to guard Mingzhou. Ao Lie himself led the remaining 55,000 soldiers to continue northwards, preparing to conquer the Huns.
