Li Yue stationed troops in Liyang and integrated the Huns on the spot.
The generals and nobles among them were selected and sent to Chenliu for resettlement, and the old, weak, sick and disabled were eliminated as children. They were only slightly higher than slaves. After all, they performed well after surrendering, neither crying nor making trouble, and actively cooperated.
Six thousand elite soldiers were recruited and classified as a separate light cavalry battalion. Li Yue personally selected officers, preferably those with honest looks and simple eyes.
Selection is only the first step. For four or five consecutive days, Li Yue has been undergoing ideological transformation.
The relationship between the Xiongnu and China is too deep.
Sima Qian believed in "Historical Records" that "the Xiongnu are the descendants of the Xiahou clan, their ancestors, and they are called Chunwei."
Of course, no one knows what the real situation is.
In Li Yue's eyes, anyone with black hair and yellow skin is an Oriental or Chinese, which is fundamentally different from the Jie people.
This is not the first time in history that white people have invaded China.
During the Shang Dynasty, they invaded from the Western Regions and were defeated by a generation of female war goddess Fu Hao.
History is often full of coincidences. Fuhao’s mausoleum is near Yecheng...
Li Yue pointed at his face and said: "I was born the same as you, bleed the same blood, and speak the same words. You are all of Chinese descent. Today, the Jie people are invading my country. You are of Chinese blood." , you should stand up and fight back!"
These words naturally made the six to seven hundred newly promoted officers below excited.
In the fifty years since Liu Yuan founded the country, the Huns were also in great confusion.
One moment he is a Han Chinese, and the next he is a Zhao nationality, constantly oscillating in his identity.
Li Yue directly gave them new identities and admitted that they were of Chinese ethnicity!
Millions of people from various ethnic groups moved to Hebei, and people from Jin moved to the south with their clothes. The integration of ethnic groups in the north has become a historical trend. Li Yue did not have the strength to kill all the barbarians, so he could only follow the long river of history. Before that, try to unite a group of people as much as possible.
So what if the blood flowed like a river?
In Liaodong, Monan, Mobei, Xiyu, Longnan, and central Guizhou, groups of strangers were waiting eagerly.
In Li Yue's personal opinion, the history of the expansion of the Chinese Empire is a history of integration.
During the Shang Dynasty, the land of Qingxu was called Dongyi.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Chu State of Jingxiang was called the Southern Barbarians...
The strength of China lies in the strong centripetal force of civilization, which attracts surrounding civilizations to continuously integrate into it and become a member of China.
Under Li Yue's transformation, these hundreds of officers quickly completed their identity changes.
Of course, most of the chief officers of the Qingqi Battalion are General Heiyun, and these are the adjutants.
Each team is assigned a school steward to oversee their ethos and ideas.
The new army is still getting used to it.
News came one after another from the north that Zhou Cheng could not deal with the Heiyun Army and turned around to seek trouble for the Fu family. However, Fu Jian sent Fu Xiong westward, crossed Mengjin and captured Luoyang.
Zhou Cheng wandered around Fangtou for several days. Seeing that Fangtou was tightly defended and had no chance of taking advantage, he led his army back to Yecheng.
Fu Jian immediately gathered all his troops and marched westward to Luoyang.
There was a brief period of peace in the north.
Li Yuegang was about to return home, but Dong Run came with an edict from Yecheng, and looked unhappy, "Important: Immediately send Liu's heads, prisoners, and horses to Yecheng without any mistakes!"
Ran Min had been fighting for years and was not engaged in production. Since Liang Du's rebellion, he was almost either fighting or on the way to war.
He also lacks war horses.
Liu Guo's tens of thousands of war horses are not a small number. When Shihu attacked Liaodong and ordered the expropriation of civilian livestock, the entire northern country only had 40,000 horses, and more than half of them could not be used as war horses.
Li Yue's face darkened, and all the horses and prisoners were given to Yecheng. Wasn't his work in vain?
And how did Liu Guo cooperate and kill him? How would the Huns who had just taken possession of him feel?
"This edict seems to be slightly different from the past." Li Yue said doubtfully.
They also wanted Liu Guo's head, prisoners, and war horses, leaving no soup for themselves.
In the past, Ran Min had a bold temperament and was not so domineering. He also opened a granary to release grain and provide relief to the people in Yecheng, but suddenly he changed for no reason.
Dong Run's eyes flashed, "The Governor Mingjian, this edict is the result of the advice of the doctor, Fa Rao."
Li Yue thought for a moment and seemed to have never offended this person, "What's the origin?"
Dong Run is considered half of his own people and knows everything he knows, "This man was once a hermit and a famous person in the Songgao Mountains. He is good at the art of prophecy and has gained the favor of His Majesty recently."
Songgao Mountain is right next to Heiyun Mountain and Xuanyuan Mountain.
Li Yue suddenly remembered that Yue Ji had recommended Taoists, monks and the like in the mountains. Could it be this person?
Now it seems that he is not a gentleman.
Ran Wei's life-and-death enemy is Xiangguo, not Yanzhou. Wouldn't this make the relationship between the north and the south beggary armies that had just been restored become stalemate again?
"General Dong, please report back to Your Majesty. There are no horses and no prisoners!"
Ran Min's edict did not consider the interests of the Black Cloud Army at all, so Li Yue didn't need to care what Ran Min thought.
At worst, there will be another Civil War.
Ran Wei is at the height of his power, but the Black Cloud Army is not easy to mess with.
If Ran Min had any political acumen, he would not go south to attack him at this time.
Dong Run laughed and said, "The governor is still so upright. Many people in the imperial court are opposed to this edict, especially Lu Chen, the eunuch of Zhongshu, Liu Qun, the minister, and Wei Jian, the official of Guanglu. They think that we should unite with Yanzhou now. We should work together to suppress the barbarians, and we should not fight against each other in the same room, which will cause pain to our relatives and anger to our enemies. If I go out and walk around, it should be able to resolve the issue."
There are still some capable people in Ran Wei Chaotang, but it is a pity that Ran Min uses a Taoist priest.
Li Yue immediately asked people to bring more than fifty boxes of gold, silver, money, and silk, which were placed all over the courtyard. "Since we are moving around, we naturally need to take care of it. I hope General Dong will clear it up for me."
Money moves people's hearts.
A trace of greed flashed in Dong Run's eyes, "The Governor has now seen something different. Dukes Lu, Liu and Wei are of noble character..."
"Lords Lu, Liu, and Wei don't need to take care of it, but Fa Rao can clear it. If it's not enough, General Dong can send someone to get it." Li Yue said with a smile.
But there are few sycophants who don't love money.
"The Governor is indeed very resourceful." Dong Run laughed, but his eyes stopped on the money and silk, "I won't keep any more. Business is important. I will return to Yedu right now."
Li Yue saw him off. There were more than ten cars outside the door, also containing gold, silver, money and silk.
They were all collected by Shi Bin back then. Li Yue didn't have any special hobbies in this area. He couldn't eat or drink, and it was difficult to buy anything.
"This is..." Dong Run looked confused.
"General Dong and all of you are so busy, I really feel sorry for you..." It's not all Li Yue's politeness. Guangzong's begging army has contributed a lot, and the Heiyun army has gained a lot this year and can't eat meat by itself. Guangzong stared blankly.
Interest is the most stable relationship. Favors come and go. The more exchanges there are, the more stable the favors will be.
"Oh, what are you doing, Governor? Are you and I still doing this?" Dong Run said loudly.
"If Guangzong's brothers don't accept me, they will look down on me, Heiyun Mountain." Li Yue said with a straight face.
Dong Run nodded deeply, "The governor has Guangzong's brothers in his heart, and Guangzong naturally has the governor in his heart!"
