The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

After Zhou Cheng defeated Ding Ling's men, he continued to lead his army in pursuit and killed them all the way.

This pursuit lasted for a month, and the moth thieves drove straight into the hinterland of the Dingling people.

In this month, nearly 130,000 Dingling people were killed. At the same time, the Dingling people withdrew deep into the forest and retreated to the desert.

The moth thieves robbed nearly 70,000 women, as well as a large number of cattle, sheep, war horses, weapons, leather, etc.

After this battle, the Dinling people no longer dared to fish or graze near Lake Baikal.

Zhou Cheng took advantage of the situation and sent troops and horses to temporarily move to Lake Baikal and temporarily rammed earth and built buildings nearby.

At the same time, Zhen Xian used the Zhen family's channels to spread the news of Zhou Cheng's expulsion of Ding Ling back to the states and counties in the Central Plains, which shocked the world.

In particular, the death camp organized by Ren Xia became completely famous.

Zhou Cheng adopted Tian Chou's suggestion and spread his reputation widely while actively using troops abroad.

After expelling the Ding Ling people, Rouran Khan also took the initiative to send an envoy to seek peace.

……

As a branch of the Xianbei people, the Rouran people are different from the Dingling people, who are a united tribe composed of various tribes.

The Rouran people have their own khanate, which is composed of the Zilülin clan, the Ermian clan, the Yuetulin clan, the Avgan clan, the Hexi clan, and the Wo clan of the Rouran people.

The Xiongnu rose and fell, and

Xianbei, which was once subordinate to the Xiongnu, also rose at the hands of Tanshihuai.

The Rouran people are good at waiting, they are also very wise, and they also know how to actively communicate, which is completely different from the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Dingling people.

Just relying on force cannot make the tribe strong.

The successive Rouran Khans all possessed a high degree of political wisdom.

The Rouran people's envoys brought tens of thousands of cattle, sheep, and war horses to see Zhou Cheng.

In the handsome tent.

The Rouran envoys stood respectfully, not daring to show any arrogance. They seemed to have compromised or even been conquered.

Even Tian Chou, who hated the Wuhuan and other foreign races, had a changed view of the Rouran people. At least they were not so 'barbaric' and knew how to accept weakness.

However, Zhou Cheng knew the history of Rouran. Rouran people were indeed relatively low-key, but the reason why they were low-key was that they were accumulating strength and waiting for the opportunity to rise.

It's just that the current Rouran people are still relatively weak and can only rely on others.

The Rouran envoy said:"The Khan is willing to marry the eldest princess to Qu Shuai as his wife, and is willing to send troops at any time to support Qu Shuai in battles."

Through marriage, the relationship between each other is deepened, and the subordinate relationship is also recognized.

There is no shame in doing this. After all, the powerful Xianbei and Dingling people have been defeated by Zhou Cheng.

Moreover, if the Ding Ling people hadn't escaped quickly, they would most likely have been exterminated.

In order to preserve the Rouran clan, Rouran Khan was willing to surrender.

Of course, this is also a common method used by grassland peoples. When facing strong force, they are conquered by the strong.

Zhou Cheng looked at Tian Chou and others.

Zhao Chen first said:"My lord, since the Rouran people have surrendered, it is better to ask their tribes to condemn their sons as hostages."

Let the grassland people send their sons as hostages. This is also a common method used by the Han people, and now the so-called Rouran Khan , is nothing more than a representative elected by each tribe. Therefore, once the current khan dies, the proton has no inheritance rights.

The Rouran messenger was mentally prepared before setting off.

Zhou Cheng said:"The leaders of each tribe in Rouran need to send one more hostage, one more woman, ten thousand cavalry for me to drive, and then choose ten thousand women between the ages of 14 and 20. From then on, every year Pay tribute and come to see me regularly to show your surrender. If you don't agree, your clan will be exterminated after the battle."

This is naturally a very overbearing and unreasonable request.

However, Zhou Cheng held a powerful army and nearly destroyed Ding Ling not long ago. Now all the grassland tribes are trembling.

Rouran people are very likely to be Zhou Cheng's next target of attack.

Although the Rouran envoy was resentful, he still showed respect and promised to go back and report first.

June 185 AD.

Zhou Cheng once again pretended to use foreign troops, and hundreds of thousands of people lined up to attack Rouran.

This is Tian Chouxian's strategy, showing his determination to go to war, but not really going to war.

As long as the Rouran people believe that Zhou Cheng is determined to send troops at any time.

Sure enough, the Rouran people were in panic, fearing that the Han people would invade their pastures.

In the same month, Rouran Khan and the leaders of various tribes personally took their proton and eldest daughter to Zhou Cheng for marriage.

Zhou Cheng defeated Xianbei, defeated Ding Ling, and made Rouran surrender.

After Zhou Cheng's name was introduced to the Central Plains, he became famous all over the world.

……

Although there were moth thieves in various places who often caused trouble, Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu, was famous far and wide.

As one of the Eight Chefs, Zhang Miao devoted all his family property to helping the poor and helping others. Therefore, many strong men relied on him.

In Chenliu County, wine shops have reopened, street vendors are hawking, and there are more people in the city.

However, because the moth thieves were not over yet and many people fled outside the city, in order to prevent the moth thieves from sneaking into the city, the inside should be closed and the outside should be closed, so the scenes inside and outside the city were different.

People live and work in peace and contentment in the city, but outside the city there is a lot of resentment among the people.

In order to appease the people's complaints, Zhang Miao set up a porridge shed outside the city and distributed one meal of millet soup every day. He also arranged for doctors to treat the refugees free of charge.

At this time, in the mountain forest not far from the porridge shed.

A group of men dressed casually were chatting.

After the war, there will be years of famine.

The refugees even spared no leaves or grass roots, and the animals in the mountains and forests were frightened into hiding in the deep mountains and dense forests.

Even Ren Xia had to accept the help of the porridge shed just to eat.

Zhang Miao is a good man, but the heroes can't stand the constraints and are still unwilling to surrender to him.

At this time, a man with a height of eight feet and a rough appearance said loudly:"A certain person once had a relationship with Zhang Meng of Tianshui. I heard that he is now outside the Great Wall. A certain person wants to leave the Great Wall and join the rebel army Zhou Cheng. He drinks wine, eats meat, sleeps with women, and conquers foreign races. Wouldn't it be great!"

The man's name is Liu Tong. He was born in Xiangyi. He is generous with his wealth and is a well-known Renxia in Yanzhou. He is quite wealthy. He is not here to seek food from Zhang Miao, but to find a good friend.

I just asked everyone and all I know is that my friend went hunting

"I am coming too"

"Count me in."

This group of Ren Xia obviously don't want to stay here to drink rice soup.

"Liu Tong, you came at the right time!"

At this time, there was a loud roar from behind, like thunder, which frightened the birds and beasts in the forest.

I saw a burly man nine feet five tall, like an iron tower, carrying a deer weighing hundreds of kilograms.

Bang. A sound!

The strong man threw the deer on the ground.

At this time, Liu Tong looked at the strong man and asked:"Dian Wei, I am going to join the rebel army outside the fortress, are you willing to go with me?""

Dian Wei and Liu Tong are friends. When he mentioned it, he nodded.
