Chapter 108: Speechless Anger
The Qiang tribe with a population of only one million and a 200,000 strong men were killed outside Wuwei City. For the Qiang tribe, it was like a catastrophe.
How can eight hundred thousand old, weak, women and children block the attack of 40,000 cavalrymen?
What's more, there are still 100,000 infantrymen behind.
Under the killing of these 140,000 horse infantry, most of the escaped Qiang tribes were captured. Regardless of the old and weak, as long as they were men, they would be killed on the spot.
Women stayed young and young women. A total of 230,000 women stayed.
Kou Feng planned to reward these women to the soldiers guarding Xiliang.
With these 230,000 women, twenty years later, it will be enough to increase the population of one million. This is a great wealth.
In addition to this wealth, the Great Chu expedition to the west and destroyed the Qiang people in the Western Regions, which were considered to be a very powerful country, and the influence brought by the Qiang people also spread among the countries in the Western Regions.
140,000 horse and infantry. After this battle, no one in the Western Regions underestimated Chu. The Chu State was taken seriously and destroyed the Qiang tribe, and obtained 230,000 women.
It can be said that the entire Chu army returned to Wuwei from Qiang with a jubilant atmosphere.
"Your Majesty, I feel it's a pity that I only conquer Qiangzhong." On the way, Zhao-Piao Tianwen-Xiang said to Kou Feng.
"It's a pity that there are good weather and rain on that side, with many grasslands. Such a good place of residence will attract many ethnic groups to enter. Today we destroyed the Qiang people and another ethnic group will come to the next day, which is very troublesome.
And the only thing that can solve this problem is that we completely occupy that land."
Kou Feng said.
"Then why did Your Majesty choose to retreat?"
Zhao-Piao Tianyi-Yun can’t understand the truth.
"Gu planned to leave Zilong and generals such as Shin-chan, Ma Chao, Pang De in Xiliang to guard them. He also sent a governor with outstanding capabilities to build a city in the Qiang, and first migrate some of the people. As for the large-scale migration of the people, it will take twenty years to wait." Kou Feng said.
"Twenty years later?"
Zhao-Piao Tianyi-Yun is still puzzled.
"It is when these 230,000 women gave birth to a million people. The mothers of this group of people are Qiang people, and the rest can adapt to the grassland. Twenty years later, this group of soldiers is old, and the old soldiers and their children will migrate into Qiang. After that, the cities and ponds in Qiang are everywhere, and we Han people can also make a living by grazing." Kou Feng smiled and said his plan.
To put it nicely, it is actually a problem. After the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, the population of the Han people had dropped sharply. Even their own country was difficult to enrich, let alone Qiangzhong.
This is a kind of helplessness. Kou Feng could only wait twenty years before expanding the expedition.
After listening to Kou Feng's explanation, Zhao-Piao Tianwen-Yun nodded.
However, in general, this time the gains were still great, and the expansion plan was extended to twenty years later. As long as he was in power, the State of Chu would continue to expand.
The land occupied is spreading around with the Central Plains as the center.
Just then, a burst of sad music rang out.
Kou Feng had never heard of this kind of music, and I don’t know which instrument it was played with.
"Go and see who is playing music."
Kou Feng was curious and ordered.
"promise."
An escort shouted and went to investigate immediately. Soon after, an old man was brought.
The old man is about fifty years old, with an ordinary appearance and not very brave. When he looked at Kou Feng, he looked very nervous.
"I wonder what the instrument in my father-in-law's hand is? What is the music played? Why is it so sad?" Kou Feng lowered his head and looked at the instrument in the old man's hand. He couldn't understand it and couldn't help asking.
"I believe that this is Hu Jia. The music played has no name but the music made by Mrs. Cai." The old man said.
"Madam Cai?" Kou Feng didn't understand why.
"It is the daughter of the late great scholar Cai Ba, who is now in the Huns." The old man said.
Kou Feng's eyes narrowed, and an unspeakable feeling came to his heart.
He remembered Cai Zhi, and remembered that in history she was kidnapped by the Huns and spent more than ten years in the Huns gathering place in the Hetao area until Cao Cao became the prime minister and used his daughter to redeem Cai Suo.
Now, he should be happy to conquer women from other tribes, but he doesn't know how many Han women suffered in the Huns.
Cai Zhi, Wen Ji.
How could the talented woman from the Han Dynasty be in the Huns? What a joke?
Kou Feng felt an unspeakable anger in his heart.
"Come here, I will give you ten gold coins." Kou Feng ordered first.
"No." The guards shouted, took out ten golds and gave them to the old man, and then left with the old man.
"I don't want to go back to Wuwei anymore, and I plan to take advantage of the momentum to go north and destroy the Huns. What do you think?" Kou Feng raised his head and looked at Zhao-Piaotian Wenxue--Yun, and said.
Zhao-Piao Tianwen-Yun didn’t know why Kou Feng was so impulsive, but His Majesty had his life, how could he not follow him? In addition, Zhao-Piao Tianwen-Yun himself was full of hatred for the Huns.
During the Western Han Dynasty, this group of people suffered a great blow to the Han people. In the end, they were divided into two parts, one went to the north of the Mo, and one surrendered to the Han people.
The part that lost the northern part of Mobei has now been annexed by the Xianbei people. However, the Southern Xiongnu, who surrendered to the Han people, took root in the Hetao area, and Xun Yan was invincible.
However, although Xun Yan was in a state of breath, he did not change his nature and went south to capture the Han people several times. Zhao-Piao Tianwen-Yun swore very early that if he had the opportunity to be a general and held the power, he would definitely destroy this foreign tribe.
"No." Zhao-Piao Tianwen-Yun-Yun said.
"Let's go, the cavalry go north." Kou Fu ordered.
"promise."
The generals beside him responded to the promise and passed Kou's order. The 140,000 horse and infantry army was divided into two parts, of which 100,000 infantry returned triumphantly with the women, and the 40,000 army rushed north to the grassland.
Kou Feng's speechless anger must be vented, and the Huns must be destroyed.
Hetao.
The fresh grass is plump and is a land that is very suitable for the living of grassland people. It used to be the territory of the Huns. However, since the Han Wudi, it has become the territory of the Han people.
In Hetao, there are several counties such as Yunzhong. However, since the Han Dynasty fell apart, this place has become a rampant place for the Southern Xiongnu.
In the local area, the Huns were higher than the Han people.
At this moment, in the court of the Huns.
The Chanyu of the Xiongnu, the wise kings, and a large number of Xiongnu nobles were discussing the matter of Cao Cao's invitation to them to go south.
This generation of Xiongnu Khan was named Hu Li, who was forty years old and had some ambitions.
"We Huns are no longer as bad as before, Xun Yan is just breathing. If this continues, it is probably not far from extermination. Now the Han people are finally in chaos, so we should take advantage of the momentum to rise up. Not only should we go south, but we should also have ambitions to become stronger." Hu Li spread his arms and said excitedly.
"What the Great Shanyu said is right. He not only has to go south, but also has the ambition to destroy the Han people."
"Yes, yes. That's right."
"It's time to restore the prestige of the Great Huns of their ancestors."
The generals and nobles responded.
Morale is high and we must restore the prestige of our ancestors.
But at this moment, an escort rushed into the door and shouted, "Da Shanyu, I found a cavalry coming straight towards the royal court."
"What? Are they Xianbei people?" The Great Shanyu Hu Li and the Hun generals and nobles all changed their expressions and said.
It is said that it is to restore the might of the Great Huns of their ancestors, but at this moment, the Huns are actually Xun Yan is in a state of breath. The grassland has long been the Xianbei people, and the Xianbei people they fear the most.
"No, it's the army of Chu."
The guard shook his head and said.
"Is Chu the State the State that Cao Cao invited us to go south to deal with?" Hu Li said in confusion.
"Probably, right."
The guard replied.
"How many people?" After knowing the answer - Piao Tianwenxue - Hu Li was a little despised. I heard that it was a great southern country, and how many cavalry were there.
"According to the spies' reward, a total of 40,000 cavalry can be used to shoot. All the way, all of our tribe will not fall. Not only are the men who are higher than the wheels killed, but even the men in the cradles were killed, and no one is spared."
The guard's face looked ugly.
"What?" Hu Li's expression changed a lot this time. All 40,000 troops could use Mass Shooting, which could not scare Hu Li.
Although Xun Yan of the Huns was still breathing, there were still 80,000 cavalrymen. The nation on the horse was the most basic skill. However, not only the children who had worked on the wheels were killed, but even those in the cradle were no exception.
Is this the purpose of breaking the roots of the Huns? Hu Li thought he was an extremely cruel person, but he didn't expect to meet a more powerful character this time.
However, in the end, he was mostly angry. Hu Li finally laughed angrily and said, "Do you really think we Huns are soft persimmons? Before we go south, we will destroy this Chu cavalry first."
"promise."
The nobles and generals in the tent responded with a loud promise. Then, they walked out of the tent of the central army with high morale.
Not long after, a total of 80,000 troops were dispatched together.
Eighty thousand cavalrymen met the Chu cavalry thirty miles west of the royal court.
At this moment, Kou Feng was protected by Kou River in the cavalry, surrounded by strong guards. At this time, it was half a month after the Chu army changed its route northward. After half a month of galloping, they finally arrived at the royal court of the Huns.
Along the way, as the spies of the Huns found out, they destroyed some of the Hun tribes. For Kou Feng, it was just a side dish to vent his anger.
The real main course is in front, the last part of the power of the Huns, the royal court of the Southern Huns.
"When Wei Qing and Huo Qubing came out of seclusion and defeated the Huns. They let them escape from the north of the Mo, but they left this disaster. Today, we will eradicate the last disaster and scratch the last talisman for Wei Qing and Huo Qubing's unfinished career. Kill."
Kou Feng yelled in the army.
"kill.
Forty thousand cavalry roared together and rushed forward.
At this moment, the 80,000 Hun cavalry led by Hu Li appeared not far away. Hu Li was also determined about this war.
Both sides chose to charge and attack each other without surprise. (To be continued)
