Honglou: This bastard is too persuasive.

Chapter 708 Everyone is confused

At this time, the messenger sent by Kebineng arrived. The messenger brought Kebineng's message, asking Ayiguli to surrender in order to preserve the bloodline of the Xianbei people. Ayiguli burst into tears, she looked at the soldiers and people around her, and finally decided to lay down her arms.

The Sui army successfully occupied the Xianbei royal court. After entering the city, Yang Su ordered to pacify the people and strictly prohibited the soldiers from burning, killing and looting. He also sent people to bring Ayiguli and the Xianbei elders to him and announced the Sui policy to them.

"From now on, the Xianbei people will be under the jurisdiction of our Great Sui Dynasty. As long as you obey the rule of our Great Sui Dynasty, we will never treat you unfairly." Yang Su said.

Aiguli and the elders lowered their heads helplessly, for they knew that the Xianbei people would become a part of the Sui Dynasty from now on.

The Sui attacked the Xianbei and won a great victory, taking over a million people in one fell swoop. This not only greatly expanded the territory of the Sui Dynasty, but also greatly consolidated the power of the Sui Dynasty in the north. After experiencing this war, the Xianbei people also started a new life and integrated into the big family of the Sui Dynasty.

After the Sui army successfully captured the Xianbei royal court and captured a million people, it did not stop its conquest. In the court, the emperor sat on the dragon throne, looking down at his ministers with a firm gaze, and the imperial edict in his hand exuded unquestionable majesty. "The remaining Xianbei are still resisting stubbornly. If they are not completely pacified, the grassland will be in turmoil. I order Yang Su to continue to lead his troops and make sure to incorporate the entire Xianbei territory into the territory of the Sui Dynasty."

Prime Minister Yuwen Tai stepped forward, clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise! Although the Xianbei have suffered heavy losses, the remaining ones are scattered across the vast grasslands. If they are not cleared out in time, they may become troublesome in the future. General Yang Su is brave and good at fighting, and he will definitely live up to your expectations."

At this time, Yang Su, who was far away in the Xianbei grassland, received the emperor's order. He stood outside the tent, looking at the vast grassland, and had a comprehensive strategic plan in his mind. He knew that although the remaining Xianbei troops were scattered, they still had the strength to fight with the complex terrain of the grassland and their familiarity with the environment. In order to successfully capture the remaining 4 million Xianbei people, Yang Su decided to adopt a strategy of dividing and advancing, attacking together, and using both kindness and force.

Yang Su divided his 200,000-man army into four routes, encircling the remaining Xianbei from the southeast, northwest, and northeast. The eastern route was led by He Ruobi, who was resourceful and good at surprise attack tactics. He Ruobi led an army of 50,000 and quietly approached the settlements of the remaining Xianbei along the rivers in the east of the grassland. Along the way, they hid during the day and came out at night to avoid the eyes and ears of the Xianbei. When they arrived at their destination, He Ruobi took advantage of the night to launch a surprise attack. The Xianbei were awakened from their sleep and immediately became chaotic. He Ruobi commanded his soldiers to attack quickly, conquered several Xianbei camps in one fell swoop, and captured a large number of people.

The Western Route Army was led by Han Qinhu, who was brave and fearless, and had a tough fighting style. Han Qinhu led an army of 50,000 and attacked the remaining Xianbei along the mountains in the west of the grassland. The Xianbei set up many defenses at the mountain pass in an attempt to block the advance of the Sui army. Han Qinhu was not afraid. He personally led the death squad and charged forward, engaging in a fierce hand-to-hand combat with the Xianbei. The soldiers were inspired and their morale was boosted. They fought bravely and broke through the Xianbei's defenses. They pushed the Xianbei deep into the grassland.

The southern army was led by Shi Wansui, who was known for his long-distance raids. Shi Wansui led an army of 50,000 across the desert in the south of the grassland and directly attacked the rear of the remaining Xianbei. The Xianbei people never expected that the Sui army would come out of the desert and panicked for a while. Shi Wansui took the opportunity to launch an attack, cutting off the Xianbei people's retreat and surrounding them in a valley. The Xianbei people fled around in the valley, but they could not break through the encirclement of the Sui army. In the end, they had to lay down their arms and surrender to Shi Wansui.

The northern army was led by Yang Su himself, who was in charge of the central army and commanded the overall situation. Yang Su led an army of 50,000 and steadily advanced along the northern border of the grassland. Wherever he went, he promoted the policies of the Sui Dynasty to the Xianbei people, promising that as long as they surrendered, they would be properly resettled and their lives would not be greatly affected. Some Xianbei people were moved by Yang Su's sincerity and surrendered voluntarily. However, there were still some stubborn elements who, under the leadership of their leaders, resisted stubbornly.

Faced with these resistance from the Xianbei, Yang Su took decisive measures. He ordered his soldiers to build siege equipment and launch a strong attack on the Xianbei camp. The Xianbei people stubbornly resisted with their simple fortifications. Yang Su personally went to the front line to supervise the battle. He encouraged the soldiers' morale: "Soldiers, we are the warriors of the Sui Dynasty, shouldering the heavy responsibility of expanding the territory. Today's battle will surely go down in history! Charge!" The soldiers shouted in unison and rushed to the Xianbei camp like a tide. After a fierce battle, the Sui army finally broke through the Xianbei's defense line and captured them all.

Under the powerful offensive of the Sui army, the resistance of the remaining Xianbei gradually collapsed. More and more Xianbei people chose to surrender, and the number of prisoners captured by the Sui army continued to increase. Yang Su strictly disciplined the soldiers and strictly prohibited them from abusing the prisoners. He also arranged for someone to take care of the prisoners' lives and provide them with food and medical assistance. These measures won the favor of the Xianbei people and made them gradually accept the rule of the Sui Dynasty.

As time went on, the Sui army gradually took control of other Xianbei territories and successfully captured the remaining four million people. Yang Su properly settled these people in various parts of the grassland, and sent officials to manage them and spread the culture and system of the Sui Dynasty. Under the rule of the Sui Dynasty, the Xianbei people gradually integrated into the society of the Sui Dynasty and started a new life.

The Great Sui Empire won a complete victory in its conquest of the Xianbei, and the entire Xianbei grassland was incorporated into the territory of the Great Sui. This war not only demonstrated the military strength of the Great Sui, but also promoted the integration of ethnic groups and cultural exchanges. Generals such as Yang Su, with their outstanding military talents and outstanding leadership, established immortal merits in this war and became heroes in the history of the Great Sui.

Jia Changsheng, a legendary figure who was both the emperor of the Sui Empire and the governor of Bingzhou under the pseudonym Jia Shisan, began to make orderly arrangements at the critical juncture of controlling the situation, determined to completely bring the forces of the three tribes under his control and further consolidate the rule of the Sui Dynasty in the territories of foreign races.

Sitting in the spacious and majestic hall of Bingzhou Mufu, Jia Changsheng looked stern and his eyes were like torches, scanning the loyal generals and counselors in the hall. "Now, we have achieved a phased victory on the battlefield, and the three tribes have been greatly weakened. It is the perfect time for us to seize the opportunity and completely control the situation." Jia Changsheng's voice was low and powerful, echoing in the hall.

"Li Dian, Le Jin, listen to my orders!" Jia Changsheng's eyes fell on the two generals, "I order the two of you to lead 30,000 elite troops each to attack the remnants of the Wuhuan and Qiang tribes respectively. You must make a quick decision and subdue them completely."

Li Dian and Le Jin stepped out at the same time, knelt on one knee, and received the order in unison: "We obey your orders! We will go all out and live up to the mission!"

Li Dian led his army towards the remnants of the Wuhuan. Along the way, he carefully studied the Wuhuan's tactical characteristics and terrain and formulated a detailed battle plan. Although the Wuhuan suffered heavy losses, they still tried to resist stubbornly by relying on the dangerous terrain because of their familiarity with the grassland. Li Dian knew that a strong attack would only cause unnecessary casualties, so he sent a small force to pretend to attack head-on to attract the attention of the Wuhuan. At the same time, he personally led the main force along a hidden valley and went around to the rear of the Wuhuan.

When the Wuhuan were trying their best to resist the feint attack from the front, Li Dian's main force appeared behind them like a god. The Wuhuan were shocked and their formation was in chaos. Li Dian seized the opportunity and ordered the whole army to attack. The soldiers rushed towards the Wuhuan like a tiger descending from the mountain, shouting and killing. Under the pincer attack from the front and back, the Wuhuan could not organize an effective resistance at all, and they threw away their armor and fled everywhere. Li Dian took advantage of the victory to pursue and defeated the remnants of the Wuhuan one by one, and successfully captured a large number of Wuhuan soldiers and civilians. On the other side, Le Jin also marched towards the territory of the Qiang people. Relying on the complex terrain of the mountains, the Qiang people built solid fortifications. After Le Jin arrived, he did not attack rashly, but sent out scouts first to find out the defense layout of the Qiang people. He found that the Qiang people had ambushes on both sides of the valley, and once the enemy entered the valley, they would be attacked from both sides.

Le Jin smiled slightly and had a plan in mind. He ordered his soldiers to cut down trees and make a large number of shields and siege equipment. Then, he asked some soldiers to carry shields and slowly move towards the valley to attract the Qiang ambush. When the Qiang ambush appeared, Le Jin immediately ordered the archers to shoot at them. At the same time, he led the main force and went around the side of the Qiang fortifications from another path.

Le Jin personally led the soldiers, carrying ladders, and rushed towards the Qiang's fortifications. Inspired by him, the soldiers fought bravely. After a fierce battle, Le Jin's army successfully broke through the Qiang's defense line and rushed into their camp. The Qiang people were doomed and surrendered one after another. Le Jin successfully completed the task and took the remaining Qiang forces into his pocket.

While the battle in Bingzhou was progressing smoothly, Jia Changsheng, as the emperor of the Sui Empire, ordered the Sui army to continue to consolidate its rule in the Xianbei and other territories. He appointed Yang Guang as the governor of the Sui in the Xianbei area, responsible for managing the newly occupied land and population.

After Yang Guang arrived in Xianbei, he quickly launched a series of measures. He first appeased the Xianbei people, opened warehouses to release grain, and provided relief to those who suffered in the war. He also sent officials to various tribes to publicize the culture and policies of the Sui Dynasty and encourage the Xianbei people to communicate and integrate with the Sui people.

In order to strengthen control over the Xianbei region, Yang Guang built castles and fortresses at important strategic locations and stationed heavy troops to guard them. He also organized manpower to build roads and bridges, improving transportation conditions in the Xianbei region and promoting economic development.

In terms of culture, Yang Guang encouraged the Xianbei people to learn Chinese and Chinese characters, set up schools, and impart the culture and knowledge of the Central Plains. He also brought some Xianbei noble children to Chang'an to let them receive the education of the Sui Dynasty and cultivate their sense of identity with the Sui Dynasty.

After a period of efforts, the rule of the Sui Dynasty in the Xianbei region gradually stabilized. The Xianbei people began to gradually accept the rule of the Sui Dynasty and integrated into the society of the Sui Dynasty. In Bingzhou, the victory of Li Dian and Le Jin also allowed Jia Changsheng to completely control the power of the Wuhuan and Qiang people. Jia Changsheng moved part of the population of the three tribes to Bingzhou for unified management and resettlement, allowing them to start a new life on this land and contribute to the development of Bingzhou.

Relying on his outstanding leadership and strategic vision, Jia Changsheng successfully expanded the power of Bingzhou and the Sui Dynasty. In this chaotic world, he gradually laid the foundation for his hegemony and became a feared existence by all forces.

In that turbulent time when the situation was changing rapidly and many heroes were vying for supremacy, the news spread quickly among the various princes. When the news came out that Jia Changsheng, in his dual identity as the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty and the governor of a state, had successfully launched an attack on the three tribes and consolidated the rule of the Sui Dynasty in the territory of other tribes, the whole world was shocked. The reactions of the various princes were also different, but they were all shocked by this sudden change.

In Jizhou, in Yuan Shao's residence, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed like water could drip out. Yuan Shao sat in the main seat, tightly holding the secret report of Jia Changsheng's amazing achievements in his hand, his face was terribly gloomy. His advisers sat around him, all with faces full of astonishment and worry.

"This Jia Changsheng is so powerful! In a short period of time, he not only defeated the three tribes, but also allowed the Sui Dynasty to occupy the territories of Xianbei and other tribes. His power is expanding too fast!" Yuan Shao angrily threw the secret report on the table and roared loudly.

Tian Feng frowned and said worriedly: "My lord, Jia Changsheng's move has already broken the current balance of power. He now controls Bingzhou and such a vast foreign territory. His strength should not be underestimated. We must re-examine the situation and respond as soon as possible."

Yuan Shao snorted coldly: "Hmph, does he think he can threaten me like this? I, Yuan Shao, have been a noble for four generations, and I have many soldiers and generals under my command. How could I be afraid of a mere Jia Changsheng!" Although he said this, Yuan Shao's eyes revealed a hint of vigilance that was hard to conceal.

Xu You rolled his eyes and offered a suggestion: "My Lord, why don't we unite with other princes to fight against Jia Changsheng. He is now a big man and attracts a lot of attention. I'm sure other princes are also afraid of him. As long as we raise our arms and call for action, we will be able to form a powerful alliance."

Yuan Shao pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "This matter still needs to be considered in the long run. However, Jia Changsheng's rise is indeed a major obstacle on our road to hegemony, and we must guard against it.

In Yanzhou, Cao Cao was pacing in his tent after hearing the news. There was no excessive surprise on his face, only deep thought.

"This Jia Changsheng is indeed a formidable character. He has achieved such success in such a short period of time. He should not be underestimated." Cao Cao said to himself.

Guo Jia sat aside, his mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile: "My lord, although Jia Changsheng is strong, his power is expanding too fast, and there must be many hidden dangers inside. We might as well hold our troops in place, observe his movements, and wait for the opportunity."
