Chapter 269 Rule over the Grassland, King Jin's Escape Monument
The area and population of the Cangbei Grassland are far smaller than the Yinshan Prairie in the core area of ​​the Kingdom of Jin, but there are also many small and medium tribes and scattered herdsmen living on it.

The overlord of the grassland, the Kingdom of Jin, suffered a disastrous defeat and lost its prestige in a short period of time. Coupled with what the Jin army did before to loot thousands of miles for food and logistics, many small tribes naturally chose to submit to Xia Kingdom.

Located near the border town, the nomadic tribes in Cangbei can see their life after the annexation of the five tribes outside the Great Wall.

The biggest natural enemy of living in the grassland is the climate. In the cold winter, the white hair wind blows through and no grass grows, food is scarce, and cattle and sheep are hard to live.

But even in the extremely tormenting winter on the grassland, the five border towns no longer take it seriously. This is the benefit of relying on Xia Guo.

They treat the subordinate tribes as human beings and allow trade exchanges. The worthless wool and leather on the grassland can be exchanged for food and tea.

The silage technology promoted by the Tiangong Institute of the Daxia Ministry of Industry has been verified and popularized in the five departments outside the Great Wall, and the effect is very good. In the future, there will be no need to worry about livestock fodder in winter, and the production capacity will greatly increase.

The family is really poor, and they can survive by helping the government to graze on the grassland, but the sheep they are driving are not their own.

"There are more and more warriors in the Xia Kingdom, and there is a great demand for meat. Just raise more cattle and sheep, and the silage technology passed down by Xia Hou will be given to loyal people. In less than five years, you will be able to live in Cangbei, Buy a piece of land in the border town to build a house, so that the descendants can live a settled life without worrying about food and clothing. It doesn't matter if you want to stay in the grassland, the fairy masters and gods of Daxia will also take care of the pasture..."

The herdsmen who had enjoyed the policies of the five tribes outside the Great Wall followed the envoys of the Xia Kingdom and used their own experiences to persuade the Cangbei grassland tribes.

This is a little preferential treatment that Zhou Bai gave to the five tribes outside the Great Wall. They can expand the scale of the tribe at this time, as long as they can recruit people.

The population and influence of the Cangbei Grassland are too fragmented, and Daxia is temporarily unable to manage the strategy, so it is a good choice to support the agent.

But when the leaders of many small tribes rushed to Cangbei City with leather, lamb and other tributes, Zhou Bai braved the snow and headed north.

The gift given by the Kingdom of Jin in this defeat was not small, and the war horses that were in short supply were instantly plentiful.

So Zhou Bai personally led Wanqi, one man and two horses, and went northward into the grassland for three thousand miles to meet Huo Feiguang.

Now he regrets giving the order to intercept and kill Hu Yanhe. If something happens, he will lose a real cavalry general.

The soldiers of the Xia Army who lived in the south of Cangshan Mountain for a long time had difficulty adapting to the cold winter on the grassland.

Even though most of these Wanqi have experienced body forging and their blood can resist the cold, they will not be able to stand it after a long time. At this time, even the golden men are mostly shrunk around the Yinshan Mountain.

On November [-]th, after the horse died of frostbite, Zhou Bai had no choice but to order to return.

After half a month, there was still no news. If it weren't for the soul blood of the Taoist officials left by the Daolu Department, knowing that the Taoist officials around Huo Feiguang had not been killed in battle, Da Xia might have made a list of martyrs.

On December [-]th, the clouds were gloomy, there was no wind or rain, and it seemed that the sky was about to snow again.

The first batch of 3 relocated county residents have followed the governor Yan Luo to settle in Cangbei City in the past few days, making the city finally more lively and lively.

Smoke was rising from the kitchen, and the army and civilians helped repair the houses and city walls. No one complained, and they worked hard, because they knew that this was building their own homeland.

After 30 Cangbei people moved south, most of them have gotten used to the life in Cangnan. At this time, those who are willing to be the first to return to their hometown must be deeply in love with this land.

The county government opens the government office, and officials at all levels are busy up and down, coordinating various specific matters such as food distribution, naturalization, housing allocation, etc., and the servants are on the road to patrol the streets, and the chiefs of the villages and squares are quickly selected...

For a time, the order was in order, and the Great Xia French Open gradually extended to the Cangbei region, and Cangbei County itself also condensed a pale red core of the French Open.

Even if it is gray and white outside the city, it has begun to establish a formal rule, and there are already dragons and tigers in the center of the city.

Many small tribes in the grasslands will enshrine an earth shaman in order to find a place with lush water and grass, and to survive the white and black disasters.

Some of these local shamans have reached the level of Taoism, and some can only use the most superficial "blood method", but there is no doubt about their high status.

This time Zhou Bai summoned the various tribes in the Cangbei Grassland, and among them there was a requirement that the priests must come with the chief.

At the beginning, these native shamans were a little dissatisfied, thinking that it was arrogant for a foreigner to behave like this.

But since they entered Cangbei City, their pride and self-confidence were completely destroyed, and the ordinary soldiers on duty felt dangerous.

Great Xia military soldier?The acquired state has the power to fight?

The native shamans knew very well that this was not an exaggeration. If they did not have the cover of their subordinates, they might be killed in an instant.

The pressure of Daxia Fadu to stare at them is far from unbearable, as if any shady behavior he has will be targeted and suppressed.

And if they read correctly, there is more than one Daxia official with mana, and under such a strict law, it can actually accommodate officials to practice.

On the Cangbei Grassland, the shamans let go of their arrogance and pride, and pulled the chiefs to surrender.

Do not ask for anything else, only to be recognized by Daxia, and it is best to be able to get a part-time job, and have a share of luck.

In the center of Cangbei City, in a well-restored mansion, Zhou Bai once again received the chiefs and shamans of the Cangbei tribe.

Even though a group of people were gathered to meet each time, the same meeting was carried out more than ten times.

It can be seen from this that the forces in Cangbei are scattered, and there is hardly a medium-to-large tribe with more than [-] people.

Of course, this has something to do with acting as a buffer zone. No matter how weak Daxu was before, he never allowed Jin Guo to completely control the Cangbei Grassland.

"You will not be recruited to attack the Kingdom of Jin, nor will you annex your warriors...you and other ministries, as long as you regard Daxia as your home country and provide beef and mutton regularly, you can enjoy trade, silage technology, and assistance to survive the war. Disasters and robbery and other rights and interests.”

Originally, the Five Outside the Great Wall had already mentioned these benefits, but when Zhou Bai bestowed them with iron orders and copper orders, and immediately organized the first trade, these chiefs were completely at ease.

Groups of lambs exchanged for salt, iron pots, tea, and large quantities of rice and wheat.

You must know that although these things have been taken to the Cangbei Grassland before, most of them were directly taken away by the Kingdom of Jin, so how could it be their turn easily.

The chiefs dare not say how it will develop in the future, but what is certain is that in the winter of the second year of Tongzhi, the tribe will die a lot less.

Some people would say that the Kingdom of Jin is the regime on the grasslands, but so what, can the court of the Kingdom of Jin allow the Cangbei tribe to survive the white disaster safely and have a few meals?

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Bai summoned a group of local shamans alone, and he could tell at a glance that many of them were pseudo-transcendents who had not officially entered the Tao.

But Zhou Bai still made a promise that as long as he completes a series of tasks and helps Daxia gradually take root in the grassland, he will be registered as the Daolu Department and bestowed with luck to assist his cultivation.

In the afternoon, heavy snow fell, and the chief shamans bid farewell to Zhou Bai sincerely and left Cangbei City.

After today, except for a few tribes that are too far away, the others who did not come to see them have been included in the scope of attack.

To conquer the world, it is extremely important to form a sufficient number of excellent cavalry. In this way, regaining Cangbei and controlling the grassland is an inevitable step for Daxia.

Zhou Bai thinks there is actually a way to stop the grassland nomads from aggressing southward and realize actual management of them.

To develop the wool textile industry and animal husbandry, to exchange wool, leather, and meat from the grasslands for materials from the Central Plains, and to achieve effective and sustainable trade, this is one of them.

As long as they have money and food and can survive starvation, grassland people really want to fight every day, but ordinary herdsmen also want to live a stable life.

The second is the promotion of fodder silage technology and planting fodder, so that the nomadic production mode has partially disappeared or even completely disappeared.

After the herdsmen got a settled life, together with the intervention of the shamans and the Great Xia fairy masters and gods, they could resist most of the disasters such as the white and black disasters. Why can't they be managed as farmers.

Farmers dare not mess around, because the land is there, and herdsmen will not dare to mess around in the future, because the divided pastures will not be easily changed.

After winning the national fortune right now, most of the Cangbei tribes are willing to obey the arrangement and carry out Zhou Bai's two-step planning and transformation, but there are still a few who are stubborn.

Either they didn't trust the Central Plains government, or they were under the subtle influence and control of Jin Guo, but no matter what the reason was, they had to bear the consequences.

In order to conquer the grassland, besides favor and the correct system, thunderous means are also indispensable.

Originally, Zhou Bai wanted to hand over the matter of cleaning the Cangbei grassland to Huo Feiguang, and his successes made Huo Feiguang enjoy a high reputation on the grassland.

Daxia needs a god of war, which will frighten the barbarians.

But now that he has to return to the imperial court, Huo Feiguang has no news yet, so he can only arrange another general.

"Jiao Tu, Chu Kai, Gao Hu... whoever goes there is almost embarrassing."

Just as Zhou Bai was frowning and struggling, the Taoist official in charge of contacting Huo Feiguang finally got the news.

"Your Majesty, Captain Yao has led his troops to the northern boundary of Cangbei County, and should be able to arrive in the evening!"

Zhou Bai took the communication jade slip, and seeing the detailed information inside, he couldn't help but smile.

No wonder Huo Feiguang didn't dare to cast a long-distance message, Huo Feiguang actually raided Huyanhe seven times all the way, and finally chased him to the foot of the Yin Mountain, and carved a letter on the big bluestone as a souvenir.

Six big characters: King Jin fled here.

Then, during the process of returning to the south, he publicized along the way, saying that he had left a stele for the escape of the Golden King, which caused many nobles and herdsmen to check the bluestone and found that it was true.

Hu Yanhe learned that he was destroyed in time, but after he returned in a big defeat, another embarrassing deed spread completely.

In the end, after thinking about it, I knew what would happen to Hu Yanhe and the whole Kingdom of Jin. No less than [-] Jin soldiers sent out to pursue them, most of them were private soldiers of nobles with surnames, because Huo Feiguang slapped the entire Kingdom of Jin in the face.

If Huo Feiguang hadn't led his pursuers on the boundless grassland for several laps before returning, maybe the second war in Jinxia might be at risk of breaking out again.

At midnight, Zhou Bai went ten miles out of the city, and greeted him in the snow.

There were [-] horses when they set out for the expedition, but now there are only [-] horses left, and nearly a hundred of the precious dragon horses were also lost, which can be described as a heavy loss.

Everyone's faces were covered with wind and frost, and the dark red frozen blood was condensed all over their bodies. These are indelible proofs of their achievements.

"The last general is incompetent, let the golden king run away." Huo Feiguang knelt down on one knee, very frustrated and confessed to Zhou Bai.

Zhou Bai glanced at the tired cavalry soldiers, and patted Huo Feiguang heavily on the shoulder: "You have done a good job, the people of Daxia are proud of you, this time it is just to humiliate Huyanhe, next time it will be the real Leshi record merits."

Zhou Bai didn't understand that Huo Feiguang's behavior was influenced by him. During the time he was with him, he told the deeds of a famous general in a certain world more than once.

Xian then climbed Yanran Mountain, went to the fortress for more than three thousand miles, and carved stones to record the achievements of the Han Dynasty, and also to record Weide.

On December [-]th, Zhou Bai appointed Huo Feiguang as the Fifth Rank Polu General, responsible for cleaning up the Cangbei Grassland.

The people's livelihood in Cangbei County is dominated by the governor Yan Luo, who is responsible for follow-up resettlement, farming, and trade.

In terms of military affairs in general, Zhou Bai added Jiao Tu as the governor of Cangbei to take an overview of the affairs against Jin.

There are [-] forbidden troops, [-] cavalry, and [-] garrison troops left in Cangbei County and the grasslands, which are completely enough to deal with large-scale battles, not to mention that Huyanhe is now too busy to take care of himself, so how dare he commit another crime against Daxia.

……

On December [-], Zhou Bai led his army back to the court in victory.

The warm winter sun hangs high in the sky of the capital, reflecting on the beaming faces of the people of Daxia, welcoming the expeditionary warriors to return in triumph.

The common people beat gongs and drums, and the city sang joyously. They were extremely proud, because the majestic army in front of them was the soldiers of the Great Xia.

The nobles and captives of the Kingdom of Jin can only be treated like monkeys now.

On the Central Avenue, cheers resounded like waves, and the people held brocades in their hands, took out drinks, and raced to welcome the returning heroes.All kinds of flags and flags fluttering, and the endless carnival rhythm has already squeezed the passion that the city can carry to the extreme.

Dingzhou is located on the northern frontier. In the past hundred years when the country has been weak, it has been harassed many times by Hu people outside the Great Wall, especially the powerful Jin Kingdom, which can be said to be a nightmare and shame in the hearts of Dingzhou people.

However, today, their lord washed everything away with an outright victory.

From then on, Jin, even if it was a kingdom, did not dare to bully Da Xia who was only Hou Guo.

"Xiahou! Xiahou! Xiahou!"

"I am Great Xia, mighty! My Great Xia military army is invincible!"

However, in this frenzied atmosphere, Zhou Bai went to the Temple of Heroes first. The victory was not only due to him, but also to all the soldiers.

The eulogy was desolate and tragic, and Zhou Bai paid homage in person in order to fulfill his promise that those who die for the country will be entered into the blessed land of the Great Xia.

Zhongji Hall, Victory Court Meeting, meritorious service and rewards, is also a summary.

"In this battle, 720 people were killed by the Imperial Army, and 4 people were killed by the Fumo Army... 3 enemies were wiped out, and more than [-] people were captured... A total of [-] qualified horses were captured Yu Pi..."

"Huo Feiguang was granted the title of second-class Longbei male...an order to expand and reorganize the army, increase the forbidden army to 20, the garrison to [-], and the horse army to [-]..."

In March of the third year of Tongzhi, the Daxia Chunwei Enke was held, and a total of more than [-] candidates were admitted.

During the summer flood season in July, the Ningjiang Navy of Great Xia launched a full-scale offensive against Dingxi, annihilating more than [-] large and small ships and destroying five ports.

In August, the second call-up was suddenly canceled, and the Heavenly Court did not explain the reason.

In September, the phenomenon of meteor meteors appeared again. Thousands of meteors pierced the sky, and even blood rained down for seven days and nights. Major changes occurred in the battlefield pattern outside the territory.
