I have been running naked for three weeks in a row.  Wow, how can such a miserable word be so terrible!  The fields in late March are already full of green. Green grass everywhere is intertwined with wild flowers of various colors, which is colorful and pleasing to the eye.  The midday sun shone down, illuminating the armor and weapons of tens of thousands of soldiers, shining with a frightening brilliance.  With the order of Yuan Mai, the governor of Bingzhou, the Bingzhou army began to attack the Southern Xiongnu who had been entrenched in Xihe County for ten years.  The vitality of Cao's army has been damaged, and Zhang Yan's majesty in Montenegro is no longer there. If we don't take advantage of this moment to eliminate the foreign barbarians in Bingzhou, how long will it take?  Yuan Mai personally moved to the front line of Pingtao, supervising and leading various armies to attack the southern Xiongnu, striving to defeat the barbarians in one fell swoop, pacify Xihe County, control the entire Bingzhou intact, and liberate the land that had been enslaved by the Hu people for nearly ten years.  The troops marched out in three directions. On the right, Zhang Liao led 2,000 heavily armored tiger cavalry, 3,000 light cavalry, and 6,000 infantry in the center. They left Yangtou Mountain and attacked Lishi, the seat of Xihe County.  In the middle, Qu Yi led his 3,000 light cavalry in front, followed by 6,000 infantry. His subordinates, who had experienced hundreds of battles, first climbed into the camp and followed the army.  The left side was commanded by Zhang He, with three thousand Euphorbia soldiers leading the way. Behind them, seven thousand elite troops sent troops from Wu County, passed through Zhongyang, and killed Lishi, the Xiongnu base camp.  The three groups totaled 30,000 troops, almost the most elite troops in Bingzhou, and swept across Xihe in a mighty and overwhelming manner.  In addition to the bright armor and sharp weapons.  The three groups of troops are all equipped with the most advanced thunderbolt vehicles, all of which number around a hundred. After improvements by Ma Jun, the range is longer, the frequency of throwing is faster, the weight of the projectile is heavier, and the power is greatly increased.  Yuan Mai personally led 10,000 troops to support the three-pronged army. Xu Shu, Zhuge Jin, Guo Huai, Zhu Ao, Zhou Cang, etc. all accompanied the army. He ordered Wang Shuang to lead the expanded 2,000 white feather cavalry in front to look out at any time.  Receiving three groups of people.  This time we fought against the Xiongnu without any conspiracy.  There is no such thing as vertical or horizontal alliances.  There are only two words "hard fight"!  "To beat hard means to beat hard, to beat to death, to beat to death desperately, to scare the Huns.  Disabled.  The beating was frightening.  Those who are beaten will no longer dare to run wild on the land of the Han people. This is better than anything else!  Two days later, various groups of people had approached the Huns¡¯ base camp.  There is an advantage to fighting the Huns.  Unlike the warlords who attacked the Han people, they did not attack the city, which avoided a lot of casualties; because the Huns would not stay in the city like the various princes, but would set up tents and settle on the grasslands.  The government seat of Xihe County is Lishi, the moat has long since dried up, and the city gate has been corroded by rain and is mottled and rotten. It seems that it only takes a few large rocks to hit it, and the door panel can be shattered.  "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" Seeing nearly 10,000 Xiongnu cavalry charging, Zhang Liao gave an order, and nearly a hundred thunderbolt chariots were launched at the same time. Big rocks roared into the Huns cavalry with the sound of wind.   In an instant, the sound of people shouting and horses neighing could be heard endlessly. The charging Hun cavalry were hit by huge rocks. Suddenly, hundreds of knights were knocked off their horses, or were beaten to bloody pulp by huge rocks, or were killed by their companions after falling off their horses.  The chaotic hooves trampled into meat patties "The whole army charges!" Zhang Liao took the lead, waving his sword and rushed into the Huns' formation, like a lion rushing into a flock of sheep. He was invincible wherever he went, and those who stood in his way dismounted one after another.  In an instant, dozens of horses were cut down, but he was unscathed.  Following Zhang Liao were two thousand fully armed Tiger and Ben knights. Although their riding skills were slightly inferior to those of the Huns, the halberds in their hands were sharper and the armor on their horses was stronger because of the assistance of bilateral stirrups.  The previous disadvantages were also made up for, and they became stronger After the two armies met, they began to kill each other. The Han army's Tiger and Ben heavy armored cavalry were obviously superior, and the Huns' cavalry could not stop them and began to retreat.  At this moment, the spearmen, sickle soldiers, and shield soldiers behind the tigers and horses came up in formation. Their spears stabbed the knights on the horses, and their hooks and sickles cut off the horse's legs. For a while, the sound of people shouting and horses neighing came one after another, and blood flowed everywhere.  Human heads flying around along with horse legs.  After a bloody battle, Zhang Liao's right army easily defeated the 15,000 Huns who came to intercept them, killed more than 4,000 Huns, captured 2,000 horses, and won a great victory.  The soldiers were pointing directly at Lishi, and the distance was no more than ten miles.  Just when Zhang Liao on the right defeated the Huns, Qu Yi in the middle and Zhang He on the left also fell into hand-to-hand combat with the Huns.  The territory of Xihe was filled with the sound of killing and the sky was full of flames of war.  Relying on the power of the Thunderbolt Chariot and the fact that both groups of people have the ability to "climb the camp first" and "big army"With the help of an elite team like "Shishi", the winning process of the two groups was no different from Zhang Liao's. After two hand-to-hand battles, each of them beheaded more than 3,000 Huns, captured more than 4,000 horses, and then left for the seat of Xihe.  Shi marched at full speed: "Bingzhou's army is too strong and unable to contend with it, so retreat quickly!"  ¡± After seeing the situation clearly, I know that the Bingzhou Army is coming with all its strength this time, and the combat effectiveness of this Bingzhou Army is not at the same level as that of the previous high-ranking cadres. No matter how fierce the battle continues, it will be nothing more than a mantis trying to control the chariot and losing his life in vain!  The Xiongnu Chanyu Huchuquan could only order a retreat, leaving behind his tents, cattle, sheep, and some horses, and retreated toward the west. The mountains and plains were full of panicked Hun soldiers, who were followed by Zhang Liao and Zhang He's cavalry.  After more than 200 miles away, more than 6,000 Xiaoshou returned. After this battle, the Southern Xiongnu were completely expelled from Bingzhou and rushed to the distant Qiang land. They could only fight for territory with the Qiang people, and they could no longer compete with the Qiang people.  Dare to step into Bingzhou and achieved a complete victory. After several battles, more than 20,000 Huns were killed, and nearly 100,000 enslaved Han people were rescued. In addition, nearly 10,000 horses were captured, allowing Yuan Mai's Bingzhou cavalry to be used.  The number doubled, and the number reached more than 20,000. They were galloping back and forth, covering the sky with smoke and majestic momentum. The princes from all sides were frightened by it. Yuan Mai personally entered Lishi to reward the three armies and look at the ruined Lishi.  City wall. Yuan Mai was filled with emotion as he was suffering from slavery, lack of clothing and food, and ordered tens of thousands of stones of military rations to be distributed to relieve the people. He also ordered Liang Xi from Hanoi to come to Xihe to serve as governor and govern.  The 100,000 people who were enslaved by the Huns came from all over Henan and Bingzhou, and most of them had their families destroyed and no one to rely on. Yuan Mai encouraged them to stay and reclaim the land, and the government provided them with food seeds, cattle, farm tools and other supplies;  It is stipulated that all the grain harvested in the first three years will belong to the people. After three years, a meager grain tax will be charged. The government will pay for the bricks and tiles to build houses for the people.  The people lived for free, and then sold them to repay the government after the livestock they raised. Most of the families of these people were broken up. The men or women lost their husbands, and the people were in panic and chaos.  Intermarriage between men and women is strongly encouraged. Those who form a family are rewarded with a pig; and each family must adopt a helpless minor, which can reduce the local tax for another two years. As for the elderly, they have already been eliminated by the Huns.  These ferocious Hu people will not feed the old and frail people. They will feed the slaves instead of charity. After the implementation of these policies, the devastated Xihe men and women began to regain their vitality.  They each selected their favorites, registered them in the official documents, and then received grain and livestock to sow seeds in the wild. Within a few days, Liang Xi arrived from Hanoi with a hundred soldiers and took over Xihe.  Government affairs include registering each household, recruiting craftsmen, building houses, building city walls, and digging moats. In the spring, Xihe is a busy scene. People with smiles on their faces, men and women scattered in the fields, plowing the fields.  Sowing seeds; the craftsmen in Lishi City were shouting slogans, sweating profusely with their strong upper bodies exposed.  In order to support the construction of Xihe, Yuan Mai left Ma Jun to assist Liang Xi and asked him to invent some farm tools as much as possible to improve the people's farming efficiency. Ma Jun readily obeyed and quickly started his new work.  Using ingenuity, many valuable tools were created, which greatly improved the work efficiency of ordinary people and craftsmen.  Yuan Mai came to the fields with his guards to inspect, and noticed that the plows used by the people to plow the fields had straight shafts or long shafts. Plowing was very laborious. When turning, you need to unhook the oxen, and then two or three people carry the shafts to plow.  Turn the plow back and then plow the ground toward the back. ?? Over and over again, just setting up the plow oxen and fiddle with the plow shaft is a waste of a lot of time and energy. If we can find a way to make a short and convenient shaft plow, it will definitely greatly improve the efficiency of civilian farming.  An idea flashed in his mind, and Yuan Mai suddenly thought of Qu Yuanli.  This is basic common sense that is popularized in junior high school history textbooks. You don¡¯t need much education to know this basic common sense.  It's easy to give a general idea, but it's not a simple matter to actually create it. Fortunately, Yuan Mai has the manufacturing genius Ma Jun beside him!  With horses around, everything becomes twice the result with half the effort.  Yuan Mai just explained the general idea and principle of the Quyuan plow: "Deheng, you see this Quyuan plow is improved like this. First, the straight and long shafts are changed into curved and short shafts, and then the shafts are  The plow head is equipped with a freely rotating plow disc, which not only makes the plow frame smaller and?, it is easy to make U-turns and turns, is flexible in operation, and saves manpower and animal power. What do you think? Can it be set up?  " Yuan Mai was drawing on the paper with pen and ink, looking serious. In fact, even he himself didn't know it very well. He was just pretending based on his partial knowledge. Although the "master" didn't understand, the apprentice was born smart. Listen  After hearing Yuan Mai's idea, Ma Jun slapped his thigh and couldn't help but praise: "Oh what a wonderful idea, a stroke of genius. My lord's talent in creating new items is really beyond what Ma Jun can compare with;  A thunderous chariot with a curved shaft and plow behind it, the lord is the real genius!  " Since Yuan Shao fell into a coma, the Bingzhou Army has basically entered a state of complete independence from a semi-independent state, and there have been very few correspondences with Yecheng. Personnel appointments and removals, troop recruitment, and strategic decisions are all left to Yuan Mai and others.  The staff made the decision and basically had nothing to do with Yecheng anymore. Therefore, all the civil and military personnel in Bingzhou changed their name to Yuan Mai as "Lord". Although it was just a change of title, it marked that the Bingzhou Army entered a state of complete independence from a semi-independent state.  After becoming independent, Yuan Mai accepted the suggestions of Tian Feng, Xu Shu and others and changed his title from Bingzhou Governor to Bingzhou Mu without writing to the emperor. Most princes in this era did this.  Based on Yuan Mai's drawings that even he himself was confused about, he thought hard for several nights, and actually created a convenient and lightweight curved shaft plow, which greatly improved the efficiency of farmers' farming and greatly improved the land reclamation in Xihe.  The people praised the new type of shaft plow invented by Master Zhou Mu and called it "Yuan Gongli" in admiration. It was recorded in the history books by Bingzhou historians. The dilapidated Lishi City could only accommodate four people.  Liang Xi moved the remaining 60,000 to 70,000 residents to several dilapidated counties such as Shilou, Lingshi, and Wu County, appointed new county magistrates, and then adopted the same policy as Lishi for repairs.  He built city walls, built huts, and guided the people to cultivate in the wilderness and become self-reliant. Liang Xi not only encouraged farming, but also relaxed commercial taxes, exempted merchants from all over the country from taxes, and sent troops to protect them along the way; this caused merchants from all over the country to flock to Xihe.  , also brought some wanderers, and even many Yellow Turban people from the Taihang Mountains came to settle in Xihe. In a short period of time, the number of people in Xihe increased by 40,000 to 50,000, and it became a county that began to take shape.  Yuan Mai was very pleased with the situation, so he left Qu Yi to garrison 10,000 troops in Lishi to prevent the Huns from getting involved again. Then he led the troops who had rested for 20 days to attack the Taihang Mountains eastward, still divided into three groups.  With Zhang Liao in the center, Zhang He on the right and Guo Huai on the left, 30,000 people on each side marched towards the Taihang Mountains with the support of Pili chariots. When they heard that Yuan Mai was going to launch a large-scale expedition against the Black Mountain bandits, Tian Yu followed Dingxiang and recruited Shangdang.  Troops were sent to help, and the five groups of troops began to sweep up the Taihang Mountains. The Black Mountain Army lost more than half of its troops in the battle of Dingxiang. At this time, there were only 50,000 to 60,000 strong soldiers left, and they lost Yiduo to win.  With the advantage, he was chased to the mountain by officers and soldiers and set on fire. Seeing that the situation was over, Zhang Yan led 20,000 defeated soldiers to retreat south, and took advantage of the confrontation between Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan to pass through.  Jizhou crossed the Yellow River and fled to Xuchang to join Cao Cao. After Zhang Yan fled, all the 500,000 old and weak women and children who had fallen into the Taihang Mountains were driven down from the mountains. Yuan Mai sent people to select 30,000 strong men to enrich himself.  The remaining old, weak, women and children were assigned to the three counties of Xihe, Dingxiang and Yanmen, and they were still given farm tools, seeds, and cattle like Xihe, so that they could reclaim wasteland and turn wild fields into fields.  After two months of marching eastward and westward, Yuan Mai defeated the Xiongnu in the west and drove the Black Mountains in the north, eliminating all the two major hidden dangers of annexing the state.  And the number of people under his rule expanded to 2.6 million, making him the first among all states.  And the troops and horses under his command are also unprecedentedly powerful, with 6,000 heavy cavalry, 18,000 light cavalry, 100,000 infantry, and 10,000 naval troops. They are well prepared and ready to go. All the princes in the world are looking at them. The northern overlord has already  Ready to come out.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
