The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 367 Chapter 366
Guided by Tian Chou along the way, Zhang Yan and others quickly drove out of the no-man's land hundreds of miles away from Lulong, but even so, it took two days.

After all, the road is long, and both people and horses need adequate rest.

The distance to Wuhuan's residence was getting closer and closer, and Zhang Yan and others became more and more excited. Everyone was gearing up, holding back their energy secretly, and prepared to carry out a devastating blow to the Wuhuan people.

Tian Chou led Zhang Yan and others to the vicinity of Yangle City in Liaoxi County. This is where Wuhuan Shanyu Tadun was located. Zhang Yan commanded the cavalry to attack in several ways. The Wuhuan people near the city launched an attack.

Suddenly, the Wuhuan people fell into chaos. Tens of thousands of cavalrymen could not help but kill anyone they saw.The Wuhuan people resisted with all their strength, but their strength was very different. They were like moths flying to a flame, which had no effect at all. Instead, they angered the attacking cavalry.

Several groups of cavalry took the siege, and nearly [-] Wuhuan people near Yangle City were all killed by these cavalry. The Wuhuan herdsmen were destroyed.

That night, Zhang Yan and others piled up all the corpses of the [-] Wuhuan herdsmen near Yangle City and set them on fire. All the sheep were looted by the army.

In order to celebrate the victory, Zhang Yan and others slaughtered cattle and sheep, and held a bonfire party in Yangle City to celebrate the success of the war.

The Wuhuan people have lost a large number of young and middle-aged people, and now they are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. When Zhang Yan came, he heard Tian Yu and Tian Chou talk about the severe persecution that the Wuhuan people brought to the big man. There is nothing left of my heart.

Today, there is only killing.

Zhang Yan's purpose is very simple, to take advantage of the opportunity of the Huns joining the army to completely destroy the Wuhuan nation!And took the opportunity to weaken the military power of the Huns.

Although Zhang Yan is not familiar with history, he has a certain understanding of history. Since the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, the nomadic peoples in the north have continuously posed a huge threat to the Han people in the Central Plains for thousands of years.

Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Xianbei, Qiang, Jie, Di, and later Rouran, Turkic, Uighur, Khitan, Jurchen, Mongolia, etc., on the northern grasslands of China, nomadic peoples were active for a while. It has caused great troubles to the Central Plains one after another. Zhang Yan is well aware of such things, so in dealing with ethnic issues, he adopted two methods, one is to appease and the other is to attack.

That is to appease the obedient nation, attack the disobedient nation, and if necessary, use the means of extermination.

Compared with the Huns and Xianbei, the population of Wuhuan is the smallest, and the place where Wuhuan is located is in the northeast of the Han Dynasty.In the Northeast area, apart from Wuhuan, there are also ethnic groups such as Fuyu, Goguryeo, Dongwoju, Yilou, Yanan, Chenhan, Mahan, and Mouhan living at the same time. It can be said that the Northeast is a minority Among them, Wuhuan and Goguryeo have the strongest military strength.

If Zhang Yan wants to destroy Wuhuan, it is nothing more than knocking mountains and shaking tigers, and the land in the northeast area is also quite fertile. If it can be developed, it will definitely become a new world granary.

In the future, Zhang Yan also plans to migrate a large number of Han people to live in the Northeast. Well, he must complete the prerequisites and eliminate the threat of some nearby ethnic groups, so that the immigration can be carried out effectively.

In addition to the fertile land, there are also rich mineral resources such as coal, iron, and gold hidden deep underground in the Northeast. These mineral resources are enough for Zhang Yan to change this era in this life.

Therefore, in Zhang Yan's view, the Wuhuan people's sacrifice was worthwhile.

The next day, Zhang Yan gathered all his troops and, under the leadership of Tian Chou, went to Changli, which was another large gathering place for the Wuhuan people.

The Wuhuan people in western Liaoning were killed, and the news had already reached Changli. At this moment, the Wuhuan people in Changli were hurriedly packing their bags and preparing to escape.

However, what the people of Wuhuan didn't expect was that Zhang Yan and others came so quickly. Tens of thousands of troops came in a mighty way, sweeping the 10,000+ Wuhuan in the Changli area like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. people.

For a while, there was another killing without any suspense, but this time Zhang Yan failed to complete the siege. Many Wuhuan people rode on fast horses and fled here and there. Although Zhang Yan led the army to pursue, they only killed There are only tens of thousands of Wuhuan people, and about [-] Wuhuan people are scattered like birds and beasts.

At this time, a group of soldiers and horses came from the northeast. The leader of the army was Gongsun Kang, the son of Gongsundu, the Marquis of Liaodong. Gongsun Kang led thousands of cavalry to support. Then he flanked the Han army back and forth, and killed all the Wuhuan people who fled eastward.

On the contrary, the group of Wuhuan people who fled to the west escaped by chance, and Zhang Yan couldn't catch up, so let them go.Anyway, the Wuhuan people have already suffered a catastrophe, and the remaining nearly 10 people can't make any big waves, because they are all old and weak, women and children.However, whether this group of people can escape depends on their good fortune, because behind Zhang Yan, Yan Rou is still rushing here with tens of thousands of infantry. It is said that the Wuhuan people had such a catastrophe in their lives.

Regardless of these things, after this battle, Zhang Yan completely injured the Wuhuan people. The places where the two big Wuhuan people gathered were looted by Zhang Yan and others. Among them, the Huns benefited the most. Of course, the ones who lost the most troops Also the Huns.

After this severe injury, the power of the Wuhuan people has basically disappeared, and after that, they can only live a lingering life on the grassland for the time being.

When Zhang Yan saw Gongsun Kang again in Changli, he first praised Gongsun Kang, and then asked about Gongsun Du's situation.

Gongsun Kang said that Gongsundu's physical condition is not optimistic now, and his condition is getting worse.

Zhang Yan then asked Gongsun Kang to go back and told Gongsundu that there was a famous doctor in the imperial court, so he asked Gongsundu to go to Pengcheng for treatment.

Gongsun Kang was very happy, and immediately said goodbye to Zhang Yan, and led his troops back to Liaodong.

After Gongsun Kang left, Zhang Yan gathered the generals here to rest and wait for Yan Rou's army to arrive, and on the other hand sent envoys to pass on the orders of the great man to the various ethnic minorities in the northeast, so that they could feel the greatness of the great man. Wei, and it is stipulated that envoys must be sent to meet the emperor every year.

Seven days later, Yan Rou led an army to Changli, and many of them were Wuhuan captives.

Yan Rou reported the situation on the road to Zhang Yan. They met the Wuhuan people who were defeated by Zhang Yan, killed more than 2 people, and captured the rest.

The Wuhuan people fled back and forth, but they still couldn't fly out of the hands of the Han army. After walking around, they came back again.

This time, Zhang Yan did not kill the Wuhuan people. Seeing those old and weak women and children who could not restrain their chickens, Zhang Yan was moved with kindness.

Besides, even if all these Wuhuan people were killed, maybe someone else would replace them in the future.

Therefore, Zhang Yan needs to use grace and power together.

Therefore, Zhang Yan appointed Yan Rou as General Anbei, guarded Wuhuan as the lieutenant, and led the army to stay in Changli to properly resettle the remaining tens of thousands of Wuhuan people, teach them to engage in farming, silkworms, etc., and change their nomadic life. Way.

In addition, Zhang Yan asked Huchuquan, Qubei and other Huns to return [-] war horses from the Wuhuan people, all of which were handed over to Yan Rou to take charge of them.

In addition, Zhang Yan also abolished the Liaodong vassal state, established Changli County here, and divided the original Liaoxi County into two. The area west of Jieshi was all merged into Changli County, and the east of Jieshi belonged to Liaoxi County.

A few days later, all the envoys sent by Zhang Yan returned, and all ethnic groups in Dongyi expressed their respect for the great man. Following Zhang Yan's advice, they sent envoys to the capital of the great Han on August [-] every year. To meet the emperor, and also to offer tribute.

After solving the Wuhuan matter, it can be regarded as a relief for Youzhou from a border problem.Zhang Yan officially served as the teacher, but Yan Rou was left in Changli County as the prefect of Changli, Tian Chou was the prefect of Liaoxi, Tian Yu was the prefect of Yuyang, Yan Rou's younger brother Yan Zhi was the prefect of Youbeiping, Gao Lan was the prefect of Shanggu, and Zhang He was the prefect of Dai County. The prefect, Jia Xu, is the shepherd of Youzhou, and is fully responsible for the affairs of Youzhou.

Huchuquan, Qubei and others were also credited for following Zhang Yan in pacifying the Xianbei and Wuhuan people. Zhang Yan asked Huchuquan and Qubei to follow him back to Pengcheng to meet the emperor, and gave him a reward.

Huchuquan and Qubei were very happy, Pidianpidian's line dismissed the people, and then returned to Pengcheng with Zhang Yan.

After several months of war, Zhang Yan finally pacified Hebei, he couldn't help but pacified Hebei, and severely damaged the two ethnic minorities, Xianbei and Wuhuan, which made the Huns fearful of the big Han. The big Han was in Zhang Yan's hands. Exuding the dazzling light of the past, Zhang Yan's party outside the Great Wall shocked the grassland and Dongyi even more. So far, the Xianbei people have been devastated for many years, and all ethnic groups in Dongyi are terrified.

In the summer and August of the fifth year of Jian'an, Zhang Yan returned to Pengcheng with a triumphant army, and all the officials came to greet him. Even the emperor Liu Feng, who was less than one year old, was carried by the queen mother to welcome Zhang Yan's triumphant return. Welcome to the lane.

The regent Zhang Yan made outstanding contributions, and the ministers invited the queen mother to add Zhang Yanjiuxi. The queen mother then issued a decree to grant the regent Zhang Yanjiuxi, and took the Yan land that Zhang Yan had just pacified as her feudal state, formally forming the Yan state, called the king of Yan.

Before that, Zhang Yan was only regent as a king, and did not form a feudal state. In terms of title, he was still a marquis.After returning from the Northern Expedition this time, Zhang Yan's prestige reached an unprecedented level, and the voices of the officials were extremely high. The title of duke was no longer enough to show his merits, so Zhang Yan was specially promoted to the title of king.

It is an ancestor's precept that a man with a different surname should not be crowned a king, but to this day, the court of a man of great man has been maintained by Zhang Yan, and the great man exists in name only, and the power is in the hands of Zhang Yan. According to the ancestral precepts, Zhang Yan was named King of Yan.

Zhang Yan, on the other hand, continued to be regent as the King of Yan, and issued an edict to the world...
