Chapter 172: Opening the Border and Expanding the Territory

Duan Xi knelt on the ground, and the soldiers of the Southern Army patrolled around, carefully looking at the old man in front of him, Tan Shihuai.

When Tan Shihuai was brought in front of Duan Xie, he couldn't see his appearance clearly. He was beaten extremely miserably and his face was covered with blood. Duan Xi had no choice but to wipe his face before he recognized him. , Duan Yan looked at the soldiers who brought him, and asked: "What's going on?" The soldiers turned their heads and looked at Qierizuo.

Cheri withdrew to salute him and said, "It was his subordinates who tied him up and wanted to surrender."

"Oh, what about Sifu?"

"It has been killed!"

Duan Yan frowned, a little displeased, thought for a while, and then said: "It is courageous to commit an attack against the master, and if you have a little strategy, you can kill it, and it will not be a hindrance. Good thing, the credit goes to you!"

Cherisha shook his head and said: "I don't want any credit, if the general can hand over this dog thief to me to kill, I will be satisfied!"

"This man is to be handed over to His Majesty. He killed Duke Zhang, and the emperor will definitely kill him to pay homage to Duke Zhang. Don't worry!" Duan Yan said, looking at the soldiers around him again, Reluctantly asked: "Is Zhang Gong's body still not found?" The surrounding soldiers lowered their heads and said: "Zhang Gong died that day. corpse."

Duan Yan sighed, Tan Shihuai whimpered, apparently wanting to speak, but Duan Yan ignored him, waved his hand, and said, "Take this person away, he must be watched carefully, he can't die, he must die here His Majesty's hand!" The soldiers nodded and took Tan Shihuai down, and Duan Yan ordered Zheng Xuan and other guards to be brought over.

When Zheng Xuan came, he was already very exhausted. For some reason, many soldiers in the city were seriously ill. This made Zheng Xuan, who was in charge of many matters after the war, exhausted. He brought the soldiers from Guzang County Most of the officials, as well as Zhang Xu, all came, and Duan Yan comforted them one by one, and asked about the defense of the city. Zheng Xuan said with emotion: "It's all because Mr. Bao is here, so I can avoid falling into the enemy's hands."

Everyone spoke again.

Zheng Xuan pulled Zhang Xu on the side, and said with some admiration: "This person is Zhang Xu, a native of Guzang County, the grandson of Zhang Gong's family. He has contributed a lot to the defense of the city, and he has made great contributions." All kinds of plans were told to Duan Xie. After Duan Xie listened for a while, Zheng Xuan said again: "By the way, didn't you pick up the art of war written by Zhang Gong? Why didn't you see it out?"

Zhang Xu was taken aback for a moment, pursed her lips, and was speechless.

A soldier of the Northern Army next to Duan Xi looked at him for a moment, then suddenly said: "Wenhe?" Zhang Xu was taken aback, looked up, his eyes flickered, and said: "This general, my name is Youzhen , not Wenhe." The man grinned, and said to Duan Xi beside him: "General, this guy's surname is Jia Mingxu, and his style name is Wenhe. He is a friend from my hometown. Hahaha, he is definitely not the grandson of Mr. Zhang! !"

Jia Xu opened his mouth, looked at Zheng Xuan beside him, bowed himself and said: "That day, Wen He was not allowed to lie for the sake of saving his life, and I hope you will see the crime!!"

Zheng Xuan looked at him with complicated eyes, he sighed helplessly, and helped Jia Xu up, while Duan Yan looked at him curiously, and asked, "You are Jia Wenhe?", Jia Xu Xu was taken aback, nodded awkwardly, Duan Yan laughed, Zheng Xuan was a little puzzled, and asked, "Why are you laughing?" Duan Yan pointed at Jia Xu, and said, "He used to go out to study, and was once raped. Captured!"

"This guy even lied that he is Duan Gong's grandson!"

"Where do I have a grandson like you? How could he be in-laws with Mr. Zhang?" Duan Yan scolded, Jia Xu lowered his head, unable to speak, Zheng Xuan couldn't laugh or cry, and everyone discussed the post-war affairs again, Duan Yan scolded. Yan just sent Zheng Xuan and others out of the house, but left Jia Xu alone. Although Zheng Xuan and others were a little strange, they didn't say much, leaving Jia Xu behind, and left the barracks.

"What's the situation with this plague?"

"It was your plan? Have you ever thought about the people of Liangzhou? You are a native of Guzang County!!" Duan Yan asked angrily. Jia Xu was taken aback, his eyes turned red suddenly, and he cried helplessly : "General, this is what General Bao meant. General Bao did this in order to prevent Liangzhou from falling into the hands of Xianbei people. It is taboo for the dead. General can accuse me of the crime! I am willing to replace General Bao. A scapegoat!"

Duan Yan gave him a cold look, sneered, and said, "I will report to the temple that a plague broke out in Liangzhou, but this is not caused by man. Do you understand?"

Jia Xu nodded, put away the appearance just now, and asked a little seriously: "Then what should these Xianbei soldiers do?"

Duan Xi thought for a moment and said, "Kill them all and burn them!"

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "No, my man has always been benevolent and moral. These soldiers are unarmed. How can they be killed? In my opinion, they should be sent back to the grassland. Let Helian take good care of these Xianbei people. Embody the benevolence of the Son of Heaven!"

Duan Yan narrowed his eyes suddenly, looked at Jia Xu for a while, then shook his head and said, "I have never seen such a cold-blooded and cruel person like you!" Jia Xu looked calm and saluted Duan Yan Said: "If you can remove the enemy for the big man, what about cruelty? Isn't the Yangqiu Zhang He and others deeply loved by the emperor?"

Duan Yan nodded and began to write the report. When he ordered these Xianbei soldiers to be sent back to the grassland, most of the soldiers of the Northern Army were puzzled. Zhang Huan has always been their chief general. Send them back, what is this?Sun Jian even went to Duan Xie to quarrel with Duan Xie, but Lu Zhi looked at Duan Xie meaningfully and said nothing.

Guzang County was sealed off by people sent by Duan Yan, and the corpses on the battlefield were burned, including Bao Hong's corpse. In order to prevent the people from panic, he only said that the outside world was unstable, and the remnants of Xianbei were still making trouble, and if these corpses piled up for a long time , will definitely form a plague. Hearing this, Zheng Xuan and the others deeply believed it. Although they couldn't bear it, they didn't object.

Duan Xie ordered his subordinates to cover their mouths and noses, took these Xianbei people out, and asked them to send them all the way to the Xianbei grassland, and the rest of the troops began to go to the Northland. He also wrote a memorial, finished the battle in detail, and handed it to the temple , he believes that the Han army has not encountered any resistance, and its combat power is still there, while the Xianbei people have suffered heavy losses, and their territory is also empty.

This time is the best time to attack the Xianbei people.

Including the western and central parts of Xianbei, they can be won in one fell swoop, and Dong Zhuo is going to the east, and the war is unknown. If they can win there, it will be enough to open up thousands of miles of land for the great Han, and connect the Western Regions, Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, etc. From now on, the grassland is completely the pasture of the big man, and the big man has no foreign enemies!It has to be said that Duan Yan's proposal is extremely crazy. What he pursues is to unify the entire area from Youzhou Beiping to the Western Regions!
This is already an extraordinary feat of opening up the frontier and expanding the territory!
