Chapter 487 Rebuilding the Great Wall

A great war ended, and more than 5,000 strong men from the Tuoba Xianbei tribe died in battle, and the rest were all captured.

Lu Bu sent Zhang Liao to command 20,000 troops, and with the cooperation of 2,000 Xianbei surrendered troops, he rushed to the Tuoba tribe. Under the coercion and temptation of the Central Army, the 160,000 Tuoba tribes quickly moved into the Subway.

Then the complete sinicization of the Tuoba Xianbei tribe was completely sinicized. All the tribes who refused to be sinicized and were not qualified to be sinicized were sent to build cities and roads. The remaining tribes selected 4,000 strong men and temporarily organized into the Central Army's external Xiongnu corps. The others may continue to grazing or turn to farming.

In this war, Lu Bu not only eliminated a disaster that harmed future generations, but also obtained more than 70,000 good horses.

Lu Bu selected the best from this, selected a thousand horses to be sent to various ranches to improve the breeding species, and selected 40,000 war horses to be added to the Central Army to ensure that each division had at least one cavalry brigade, and other infantry brigades had a cavalry battalion, and the war soldiers and auxiliary soldiers had war horses. At the same time, he ensured that each infantry team had a matching carriage so that infantry troops, snatchers, archers, equipment soldiers, engineers, medical soldiers, baggage soldiers and other infantry troops could keep up with the pace of cavalry marching.

Lu Bu is already working hard to build the Central Army into an army that responds quickly, marches quickly, and can use lightning tactics and long-distance raid tactics.

Those war horses that were injured and unable to walk could only be killed as military rations, but those war horses that could still walk but were eliminated in other aspects were not sold to other princes. He gave all these war horses to local county soldiers, military colleges at the Central University Hall, middle schools at all levels, and primary schools to train horses. In the reality that mechanization could not be achieved in a short period of time, Lu Bu continued to promote horse politics to improve the survival efficiency of the entire nation.

The Xianbei master in the west set up the 死是松高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高高�

Zhiluo Luo and several other major tribe leaders sent people to the Frontier to inquire, and investigated the news that Lu Bu's Central Army swept across Baibo, Heishan, Southern Xiongnu, Dong Zhuo, the rebels of the Five Prefectures, and the Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou. After seeing Lu Bu's past achievements, the Xianbei generals such as Zhiluo Luo couldn't help but breathe a breath. If Lu Bu led his troops out of the Frontier regardless of everything and fought to the death, the Xianbei in the West would probably not be his opponent.

According to the meaning of the eldest son of Purou, the tribes in the eastern, central and western regions of the Xianbei region, respected the Kuitou Chanyu as the Great Chanyu, united and targeted Lu Bu. Before that, Purou Chanyu was born and died after Tan Shihuai's butt. Now he has been in charge of the Xianbei region of the Western Region for many years. He thought he was the Xianbei region of the Western Region and did not want to hold Tan Shihuai's grandson on his head anymore, so he flatly rejected the proposal.

The result of the discussion between the Xianbei and the Western Conference was that they temporarily avoided Lu Bu's troops and retreated to the north of Yinshan Mountain to lure Lu Bu's army out of the frontier, exhausted their troops and horses, cut off their food routes, and then gathered all the Xianbei personnel in the Western Conference, and completely defeated Lu Bu in one battle.

I have to say that the plan of the people like Zhiluo Luo was vicious, but they forgot that it was almost winter. Lu Bu would not risk going out of the frontier, and even if he sent troops, it would be the season when flowers bloom next spring.

When Lu Luoluo and others led their troops out of Yinshan, Lu Bu took advantage of the opportunity to send troops to occupy many passes connected to the Yinshan Mountains. Those passes were built during the Qin Emperor and Emperor Wu of Han, but were abandoned by the Eastern Han Dynasty court. Lu Bu sent people to repair them again and sent troops to guard them. Each pass was dispatched at least one battalion of troops, five hundred war soldiers, five hundred auxiliary soldiers, and one thousand horses occupied the fortress. Even if the Xianbei 100,000 elite cavalry attacked, they could still hold on until reinforcements arrived.

Because these passes are part of the Qin and Han Great Wall, if only the passes are built but not the Great Wall, the Xianbei people would also come in along the Great Wall. At that time, the Jiangnan in the Fortress that had been built after finally being built will be destroyed by war. Lu Bu is now surrounded by enemies and cannot use all the troops to fight to the death with the Xianbei outside the Fortress. He has to recruit Jizhou and those farmers who have already sowed wheat in Bingzhou come to Hetao to rebuild the Qin and Han Great Wall.

It was not that Lu Bu had thought that he would not build the collapsed Great Wall and use cavalry to sanction the alien races on the grassland. However, the conditions are not ripe now, and Lu Bu could not let Jizhou go deep into the northern border to destroy the Xianbei and destroy Dingling. Even Cao Cao unified the north and only defeated the Wuhuan. The rest of the time was to send people to resist the Xianbei. Before sanctioning the Central Plains, Lu Bu did not want to continue to launch an expedition to the northern border, because the grassland north of Yinshan lacked farming conditions and there was no existing city for garrison, which was just consuming troops.

In the era of cold weapons, the Great Wall was not only the defensive front of the farming nations, but also the advance base for counterattacks to the nomadic peoples. Lu Bu was equipped with a mobile army in the depths of the back of the Great Wall to respond to the war. At this time, the Great Wall was not the front line of defense, but the attack starting line and transportation line. The observation posts deployed in front of the Great Wall went deep into the distance, and the front line was one thousand kilometers north of the Great Wall. In this era of cold weapons, nomadic cavalry had excellent maneuverability and strong attack power, but they were powerless to do anything about the city wall defense system. Therefore, the construction of the Great Wall could indeed effectively resist the invasion of northern ethnic groups. Lu Bu had made up his mind to repair the Great Wall first, so that the wolf on the grassland would not let the wolf on the grassland enter the Han people's houses, and then go to the grassland to kill the wolf on the grassland.

The Qin and Han Great Wall is more than a thousand miles in the Hetao area. Most of them are built on the northern slope of the mountain and are dangerous along the mountain. Due to the slope, the valley passes and flat areas are mostly made of rammed earth, while the mountains are mostly made of stones or earth and stones. When you look up at the height, the Great Wall follows the mountain, like a dragon.

The wrong foreign policy that started with Emperor Guangwu led to the abandonment of the Great Wall for many years. Even if General Dou Xian defeated the Northern Huns, it would be difficult to restore the decline in border defense, because the imperial court ruled the ministers of aristocratic families, who were brave in private fights and were afraid of public fights, and did not pay any attention to the attacks on foreign races. After more than two hundred years of wind and rain, the stone-built Great Wall was generally well preserved, and most of the city walls were destroyed. The city walls built with earth and stone had collapsed by more than half due to the erosion of years of wind and rain.

Fortunately, the rebuilt Great Wall only accounts for one tenth of the Great Wall, and most of the foundation is there. Lu Bu mobilized 400,000 civilians and spent a winter to repair the main part. The remaining details were border residents in the Hetao area. The civilians in Jizhou received wages and went back to their homes.

The old passes and beacon towers on the Great Wall were all renovated and improved, and many cities built on the Great Wall were built with the residents of the border towns.

The repaired Great Wall is two feet high outside, seven feet high inside, nine feet wide on the top and one meter wide on the bottom. The walls are mostly made of large blue stones. These large stones are cut off nearby rocks one by one, ground them and built them on the city. Each stone weighs dozens of kilograms. The wall built in this way has been built for thousands of years without collapse.

.On the inner side of the city wall, a beacon tower is set up every two miles, and a soldier is stationed on each beacon tower.

The forced sinicization of the Huns by Lu Bu made some of the surrendered Hun nobles unable to bear the deprivation of their status, so they rebelled. Zhu Ling, the former general of the Huns' guardian, had already received a secret report from the Military Information Department and used thunder to wipe out the rebellious Hun nobles. The nameless Xiongnu Shanyu Huchuquan was forced to surrender to reality and live in a mansion in Yecheng. After a few years, he died of excessive wine and sex.

After the Xiongnu were forced to be sinicized, the Xiongnu no longer existed as a tribe. Zhu Ling's General of the Huns was moved to the General of the Xianbei General of the Guardian, and was specialized in recruiting and pacifying the Xianbei people who were willing to move from outside the border to the border to accept sinicization. He led 20,000 troops to guard Lingshuocheng, the capital of Shuofang County.

This time, the Tuoba Xianbei was defeated in Dabagou. The main crossbow soldiers were trained by Ju Yi. They first entered the camp as the backbone. Lu Bu recorded Ju Yi's achievements and promoted him from the position of General Du Liao to General Du Liao. He was responsible for all matters against Hu. He was under the jurisdiction of the General of the Xianbei General, the General of the Wuhuan General, the General of the Eastern Qiang General and his subordinates. In addition to the 20,000 Central Army in the headquarters, Ju Yi also had 20,000 Xiongnu elite cavalry.

It could have been possible that 100,000 elite cavalry could be selected from more than one million Huns, but in the battle between the Huns and the Tuoba Xianbei, Lu Bu saw that the Huns had already lost the spirit of the Maodun period. They were no longer the heroes of the grassland that were scattered across the grassland and looked down on the heroes. They had become mud that could not be covered with the wall. Instead of spending their efforts to train these alien races to fight against the Xianbei they were afraid of, they would rather train Han cavalry who were more loyal and belonging.

The Xiongnu cavalry selected from the 20,000 best was led by Xu Huang. All the officers were Han people, wearing the armor of the Han army. All training was according to the strict standards of the Central Army. They now looked no different from the Han cavalry, except for their appearances. Although the eliminated Xiongnu cavalry belonged to ordinary herdsmen and peasants, they were also incorporated into county soldiers, county soldiers, and township soldiers, responsible for local defensive tasks. Of course, the officers of local county soldiers were also held by Han people.

Yan Rou was appointed as the General of the Central Guard of Wuhuan, but Yan Rou had just joined Lu Bu. In addition to helping Tian Chou to contact Wuhuan Shanyu, he had not made any contributions, so he temporarily became the Chief Guard of Wuhuan. After making great contributions, he was promoted to the General of the General of the Central Guard of Wuhuan. Lu Bu transferred the four thousand Tuoba Xianbei cavalry to Yan Rou, and asked him to command and assist the Wuhuan in dealing with the threats of the Xianbei in the central region and the Xianbei in the eastern region to Youzhou.

Among the more than 800,000 Huns and the 160,000 Tuoba Xianbei in the Hetao area, more than 200,000 people refused to be sinicized, or more than 100,000 people were not qualified to be sinicized because of their cruel nature, slaughtered Han people, traitors and lustful Han women, etc., the incitement nobles and their immediate family members were severely found out by the Central Army and immediately killed. The remaining more than 300,000 people were sent to build a city. In addition to rebuilding the Great Wall, the passes and beacon towers on the Great Wall, they were also rebuilt the residues of the city built by Li Mu during the Warring States Period, Meng Tian during the Qin Dynasty, and Wei Qing during the Western Han Dynasty.
