Chapter 278: Cutting the Weeds and Eradicating the Roots


Gongsun Bai, who captured Jinyang, and incorporated Yuan Tan's 20,000 soldiers and horses, although these soldiers and horses were not as strong as Gongsun Bai's original troops, but they were also regarded as the elite soldiers of Yuan Tan's subordinates, and the old, weak, sick and disabled were all killed in the previous battles or captured and scattered.

Of the 20,000 people, he only selected 8,000 people, 2,000 people as cavalry, and included them in the Flying Wolf Cavalry, and 6,000 people as foot soldiers, and included in the Taiping Army, and the rest were all dismissed and returned to their hometowns.

Of the original more than 30,000 war horses, more than 4,000 war horses of more than 7 feet 5 were selected for 2,000 elite horsemen to ride, and all the rest were either pack horses or given to the people who were seriously affected by the war as compensation.

After a few days of settlement, Jinyang City gradually settled down, and officials from Shangdang County, Taiyuan County, Shangjun County in the south of Bingzhou, and Xihe County south of the Great Wall presented letters to Gongsun Bai to express their sincerity in surrendering.

After Gongsun Bai settled in Jinyang, he ordered Zhang He and Liao Hua to return to Jizhou with 10,000 soldiers and horses to continue the defense, in case other princes took advantage of the fire to rob, leaving Gao Ran's 20,000 Taiping troops to stay in Jizhou.

In order to completely stabilize the situation in the southern part of Bingzhou, Gongsun Bai immediately worshiped Tian Yu as the assassin of Bingzhou, and Wang Xuan was engaged in Beizhou, and jointly governed Bingzhou, and at the same time ordered Pingzhou, Youzhou and Jizhou to transport millions of grains and grass to help Merge Zhou.

Pingzhou and Youzhou have been governed by Gongsun Bai and Liu Yu for many years, and they are rich and fruitful, while the land of Jizhou has been governed by Hetian Feng and others for more than two years, plus Youzhou and Pingzhou have given them the support of cattle and horses, iron tools and grain, and it is itself a land of the Central Plains, with a very thick foundation, so it has gradually stabilized and become rich.

Therefore, the existing land of the three states is where the people have surplus grain, and the grain and grass in the official warehouses are piled up, and it is not a problem at all to support the merger of prefectures with only a few hundred thousand people.

Occupy a place, rule a place, and expand steadily, which is also Gongsun Bai's strategy to conquer the world.

If you want to sweep the world by force in two or three years, all you get is a tattered river and mountain, and sooner or later there will be chaos and fires everywhere.

This is also the reason why Gongsun Bai did not fight and annex the state for a long time, but was attacked by Yuan Tan in advance.

However, at this time, Gongsun Bai did not think about waiting for the southern part of the state to stabilize before continuing to go north, in fact, he couldn't wait for a day, because he knew that if he sent troops one day late, he didn't know how many Han people fell in this cold winter.

In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu located in Mobei became stronger and stronger, and the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, who had just defeated the usurper Wang Mang, was unable to attack the Xiongnu, but fortunately the Xiongnu were in turmoil for the throne, and the Xiongnu nobles killed each other.

The Eastern Han Dynasty government allowed the Southern Xiongnu to recuperate in the Hetao area, where the water and grass were fertile, and at the same time set up the Xiongnu Zhonglang to supervise them, and gave the attached Southern Xiongnu certain grain, silk and other materials every year, and Nandan Yu assisted the Eastern Han Dynasty government to jointly resist the invasion of the Northern Xiongnu.

The best place in Han land for horse grazing is the Hetao area.

The land of the Hetao has always been known for its abundant water and grass, so there is a folk proverb that "the Yellow River is harmful, and only one set of riches".

And more importantly, the Hetao area looks south to Guanzhong and the Central Plains, and is condescending.

For the Central Plains Dynasty, controlling the Hetao could use Yinshan as a barrier to resist the threat from the northern nomads and ensure the security of Guanzhong and the Central Plains.

For the northern nomads, occupying the Hetao can be used as a base to go south to Guanzhong and chase the Central Plains.

Therefore, the Hetao has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and has also become the main place for cultural exchanges and collisions between the grassland peoples and the Central Plains peoples, and between the grassland culture and the Yellow River.

Although in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Southern Xiongnu did help the Han people resist the Northern Xiongnu, but the Eastern Han Dynasty gave up the Hetao area to the Southern Xiongnu, which can be described as very generous.

However, the so-called "non-my race, its heart must be different" is not a pure contempt for ethnic minorities, at least for the Xiongnu, and later Wuhu, this sentence is absolutely correct, national unity must be assimilated by ethnic minorities, or in an absolutely weak position will occur, such as the Wuhuan who was suppressed by Gongsun Bai obediently submitted.

The Southern Xiongnu, with a population of about 300,000 people, more than 50,000 people who control the strings, are large in Huchuquan, and the more famous generals under his command are Liu Bao, the king of Zuoxian, that is, the one who kidnapped Cai Yan, and the other is the king of Youxian, and later Cao Cao's agent.

Nomads, adult men can get on horses as soldiers, and come and go like the wind when fighting, and have always been feared by the Central Plains foot soldiers who are short of horses.

At this time, the reason why the nomads could only attack and harass in the north and did not dare to go south was nothing more than two reasons, one was that the stirrup had not yet been used, and the power of the cavalry could not be reflected, and the other was that the horseshoe had not been invented, and the war horse could not fight in the Central Plains for a long time.

There are more than 50,000 people who control the strings, which is a standing reserve of soldiers and horses, and if it is really urgent, at least 30,000 soldiers and horses can be added. 80,000 cavalry, that's not a few, no matter how bad the cavalry is, it is worth two foot soldiers, which is equivalent to 100,000 foot soldiers.

The original Yuan Tan Cheqi General's Mansion in Jinyang City has become the temporary residence of Gongsun Bai, and in the hall, Gongsun Bai is discussing with the generals about the conquest of the Xiongnu.

Guo Jia's offensive route drawn on the map was very simple, that is, from Taiyuan to the north, into Xihe County, across the ancient Great Wall, and then raid the Xiongnu Shan Yuting in the north of Xihe County, crushing the Xiongnu in one fell swoop, forcing them to bow down, stop plundering and killing the Han people, and free all Han slaves.

As soon as this plan began, it was vetoed by Gongsun Bai.

Gongsun Bai glared at Guo Jia fiercely, and said in a deep voice: "The mistakes made by the ancestors of the Great Han Dynasty will not be willing to do it again, what we want is to do it once and for all, cut the grass and eradicate the roots."

Guo Jia and the generals looked shocked: "The general wants to exterminate the Huns" Gongsun Bai drew his sword out, cut off the corner of the case in front of him with a sword, and said viciously: "Those who commit the Han Dynasty Tianwei, although they will be punished far away, may live, but from then on, the Xiongnu regime no longer exists, there is no single Yu, there is no right and virtuous king, the Huns are authentic Han people from then on, abide by the laws of the Han people, accept the jurisdiction of Han officials, pay taxes to the Han court, and must not have their own army, and must not have their own officials." ” Chen Tang's bold words are not unfamiliar to everyone, but Chen Tang back then only killed the Xiongnu Shan Yu, and this time their general wanted to uproot the Southern Xiongnu, which was many times more ruthless than Chen Tang.

As soon as he spoke, Zhao Yun, Zhang He, Yan Liang and Wen Chou and other generals were enthusiastic, and even claimed that they were good.

Guo Jia looked at Gongsun Bai's face, and said cautiously: "In this case, I'm afraid that General Taishi's Moyun cavalry will have to be transferred, and if the enemy's strength is all assembled, it will be at least 80,000 people." ” Gongsun Bai said lightly: "No need, just the white horse Yicong and the flying wolf ride, plus 20,000 Taiping troops."

The cavalry attacked the enemy in the field, the foot soldiers attacked the city and held it, and stabilized the rear, even if the Huns had millions, what was there to fear" Gongsun Bai was a little unconvinced in his heart after all, Cao Cao's cavalry was not like him, and he easily disintegrated the Huns, and now he is strong and strong, and he is afraid that he will not be able to deal with the Huns Guo Jia sighed slightly and said: "Yuan Tan's general Xin Bi has not been detained, and the last general is afraid that the Huns will also use rope loops to make simple stirrups, so the combat power will inevitably increase greatly."

Gongsun Bai glared at him coldly, and asked in a cold voice, "So what?"

Guo Jia's expression was solemn, and he said awe-inspiringly: "Since his debut, the general has not tasted a defeat, just a Huns, how can he worry about it" Gongsun Bai snorted coldly and said, "You can speak."

Gongsun Jun is invincible, and has repeatedly won more with less, not only because there are many soldiers and generals, and the crossbow is strong, but also because since Gongsun Bai and below, there is a momentum of tens of millions of people, and this invincible belief is the soul of Gongsun Jun.

In Jinyang City, a wisp of clear sound floated out of a big tent somewhere.

The sound of the building.

Zhuyin is high and agitated, full of pride, like Jin Ge Iron Horse, killing sound, and like thousands of troops gathered, waiting for orders, only to hear the soldiers outside the tent boiling, impassioned, loud applause.

"The general is here," there was a shout from outside the tent.

Wang Xuan, who was concentrating on the construction of the tent, hurriedly stepped forward, and at this time Gongsun Bai had already lifted the curtain and entered.

"Shuji" "The Great General" Gongsun Bai slowly nodded to Wang Yu, and the two sat down in turn.

For Wang Xu, Gongsun Bai has always had a heart of respect.

This general of Bingzhou has devoted himself to worrying about the country and the people from the beginning, not for fame and fortune, but to allow Gongsun Bai to conquer Hu Lu as soon as possible and save the people of the Han Dynasty in the north of Bingzhou.

At this moment, seeing the sound of Wang Yu's attack and construction, it is the fierceness of the magnificence, the so-called view of people with music, which shows his loyalty and martyrdom.

Gongsun Bai smiled and asked, "The ancients were good at building people, and the most famous one was none other than the high gradual departure of Prince Yan in the past, and Shuzhi was good at building, so it was not related to Gao gradually leaving."

Wang Yu hurriedly replied: "The first mother is actually the descendant of the high prince. ” Gongsun Bai suddenly realized, and then smiled again: "This song is really good, I don't know what the name of the song is."

Wang Yu said respectfully: "The general is about to go on an expedition, and Shuzhi wants to use this song as a grand march for the army, and he has not yet chosen a name and lyrics. ” Gongsun Bai's heart moved, and after thinking carefully for a while, he smiled and said: "If you don't do this, it will be used as a military song for this expedition, and the general will come to make it." ” Wang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "This is very good."

Gongsun Bai has always been known for his martial arts, and he has never heard that he can recite poems, and Wang Yu was a little messy in an instant.

If this is well written, it will be fine, if it is written in a logical way, he will be in a dilemma, I am afraid that it will become a joke if he adopts it, and if he does not adopt it, it will refute Gongsun Bai's face Gongsun Bai smiled slightly, and said to the guards behind him: "Take pen and ink." ” The guards took pen and ink and a white silk cloth, and Gongsun Bai slowly waved it.

"Angry hair rushes to the crown, relying on the place, Xiaoxiao rain rests.

Raise your eyes, look up to the sky and roar, fierce and fierce, thirty fame dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moon.

Don't wait, the young man's head is white, empty and sad.

Northern Xinjiang is ashamed, and it is still snowing; The courtiers hate, when will they destroy the long car and step through the lack of Helan Mountain.

Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood.

Stay from the beginning, clean up the old rivers and mountains, and face the sky" By the time he finished writing, Wang Yu was already so excited that he burst into tears, and the worries in his heart had long since disappeared.

"Zhi hungry eat Hulu meat, laugh and talk about the thirst for the blood of the Huns, this sentence is far more than the champion Hou of the Huns has not been destroyed, why is the family, the general is a martial artist, who in the world can and the Han family has a general, it is the luck of the world, please accept the last general's worship" Wang Yu's face was full of excitement, and the respectful court's grandson bowed down.

The new Han military song of the conquest of foreign races was born.

It was night, and people were singing this heroic military song everywhere in the whole camp.

Gongsun Bai ascended the high point of the platform, two rows of soldiers with the head of the sword lined up in front of the stage, facing the soldiers of the various departments, the bright head knife is carried on the shoulder, the blade is upward, as if it will be slashed out at any time, with their fierce body shape, cold expression, daunting.

Guo Jia stood in front of the stage and did a pre-war mobilization, although he was proficient in scriptures, but this article was lively and easy to understand, and the generous speech he said made a group of soldiers enthusiastic.

The content of the speech is nothing more than to praise the Gongsun army for its good fighting, sweeping the north and even the Central Plains, and has not tasted defeat so far, and the people present are all elites in the army, and then talk about the military superiority, and the confidence of victory, and finally lead the crowd to chant the slogan "The Huns are not broken, dare not be defeated", and the speech ended successfully.

The wind on the stage was blowing, and the hunting sound of Gongsun Bai's big wind was blowing.

After Guo Jia finished speaking, he took off the big foil and handed it to Yan Ba on the side, and then took a step forward, Guo Jia stepped back to the side, and the eyes of all the soldiers were focused on Gongsun Bai.

Gongsun Bai raised his breath and said: "Beat the drum and blow the trumpet" Knock knock Woooooooo The sound of the horn is endless, the drum beat rises to the sky, and in an instant, the heaven and the earth are filled with the sound of the drum horn, the mixed sound full of killing, stirring the sky, making people passionate.

"Angry hair rushes to the crown, relying on the place, Xiaoxiao rain rests.

Raise your eyes, look up to the sky and roar, fierce and fierce, thirty fame dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moon.

Don't wait, the young man's head is white, empty and sad.

Northern Xinjiang is ashamed, and it is still snowing; The courtiers hate, when will they destroy the long car and step through the lack of Helan Mountain.

Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood.

Stay from the beginning, clean up the old rivers and mountains, and face the sky" Gongsun Baihuan swept his eyes, drew his sword, and shouted: "Let's go" Under the guidance of the banner, groups of soldiers began to march separately, leaving the school field and heading to the battlefield.

Zhao Yun and Wen Chou led 5,000 white horses to be the vanguard, Yan Liang and Zhou Cang and others led the flying wolf to ride in the center, and Gao Ran led an army of 20,000 to escort grain and grass behind.

In the territory of Bingzhou, the flames of war burned again, sweeping away the northern part of Bingzhou.
