The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 104

[Chapter 103 The Northern Expedition]

After a month of cleaning up those gentry, the entire Central Plains has gradually calmed down, and finally he has begun his plan of the Northern Expedition.

The first batch of 200,000 troops was ready, and the leaders of twenty of them were all killed. Among them, Gongsun Zan was the most famous, a commander who was proficient in grassland warfare.

There are also some more durable people like Cao Cao and Liu Bei, who were also photographed by himself, and then some Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Lu Bu, and these people who have lived in the border areas for a long time, used to play a relatively famous first victory. Should be no big problem.

Of course, even if the entire army was wiped out, Zhong Yu wouldn’t be too sad, just a little distressed for those talents. If his subordinates wanted to exchange such talents from the system, it would be impossible for him to exchange a few hundred luck points without him.

The mighty Northern Expedition started under the attention of all the princes and local nobility in the world.

This was the first official war after the establishment of the Imperial Kingdom, and the quelling of the rebellions before were nothing.

Only the current head-on collision with those nomads has been regarded by the nomads as a real war on a large scale, a war that has reached the stage.

Nomads in all parts of northern Russia also received news of the Great Northern Expedition.

Some of them sneered, disdain for the so-called Northern Expedition.

There are also people with fear on their faces, and they are very afraid of the first northern expedition of this newly established empire, because since ancient times, when the Central Plains Dynasty was just founded, the strength of the army was often the strongest.

And that time is often the Central Plains Dynasty, when hanging nomadic tribes.

Now that the Great Imperial Dynasty is on the northern expedition, even if we, the grassland tribes, can win, we will definitely pay enough price.

And these costs are often brought by the demise of most of the clans in those nomadic tribes.

And at this moment, it is often the time when those small clans rise.

The small tribes slowly gathered strong forces one after another by devouring the remnants of the defeated large tribes, and in the process of fighting against the army of the Central Plains Dynasty, they trained a group of elite soldiers.

Then a new, robust new tribe arose.

Become the overlord of an area on the grassland. If this overlord is lucky enough to defeat the attack of the Central Plains Empire, he may be able to extend his life span for decades and hundreds of years.

Of course, if you are unlucky, maybe soon after the new clan is established, you will encounter a tough stubble of the Central Plains Dynasty, and they will be famous and be surrounded and wiped out.

All of this is full of uncertainty and countless opportunities. It just depends on whether people can have enough decisiveness and enough luck to achieve success.

The northern expedition out of the fortress went on like this. The army of 200,000 people set foot on the journey of the desert under the tearful farewell of their family members. Since then, the horse leather body has been returned.

The sky is blue, the wild is vast, and the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.

At this moment, it is the height of summer, when the water and grass are plump. Originally, at this moment, every tribe was busy fattening the cattle and sheep that had been hungry for a spring and winter, so that they could grow enough fat in this summer.

But at this moment, the shepherds were not seen to let out the sheep and cattle.

I am a man, riding their steeds and carrying their hunting bows, gathered one by one to their tribal chiefs.

They were brought to the places of other large tribes by their leaders to meet, and they formed an army of hundreds of thousands of people and marched towards the south.

Two nations born with irreconcilable contradictions, in this summer, launched a life-and-death war.

The winner will have everything, and the loser will give his life as a stake in this war.

At the beginning, because the rebels were unfamiliar with the terrain, there were a lot of unnecessary troubles, or they got lost, or were defeated by the local nomads using the terrain and fled.

A few generals were less capable, or the unfortunate army was defeated.

Thousands of tens of thousands of people were annihilated on the spot by the advantage of the nomads on horseback, and the remaining thousands of remnants also fled south directly, until they escaped to Yujing and were abandoned by the nomads who were chasing them.

Of course, among them, there were also some outstanding troops, such as Lv Bu and Zhang Liao, who had been fighting against the nomads and had a certain reputation among the nomads, and Gongsun Zan, who was known as the General of the White Horse. These three achieved a very big victory.

Each of the three of them captured several large tribes with a number of tens of thousands, and the army that was annihilated was mainly tens of thousands of them, and his own losses were only 4,000 or 5,000.

Others such as Cao Cao, Liu Bei, etc., although they did not have much victory, their own troops did not suffer much. They killed one or two thousand of his nomadic army, and lost two or three thousand people before returning to the frontier fortress.

In short, the first time out of the fortress, the northern expedition of the entire Imperial Kingdom was still successful, and 200,000 people died.

He also killed 70,000 to 80,000 nomadic troops, and killed more than 200,000 women, children, the elderly and the weak.

This Northern Expedition, and even future Northern Expeditions, have finally made it clear to those generals,

Without leaving a single captive, all the nomadic people encountered, regardless of gender, age, or age, were all killed.

It wasn’t just men who would kill, but the unarmed women who were able to herd sheep and provide food for the perennial warring tribes.

It can also continue the descendants of those nomads, and give birth to batches of warriors for them. UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com contributes to the development and growth of those tribes and contributes every bit of their value.

And when the child grows up, he is a warrior, and he can kill even before he is ten years old.

So those nomads, men, women and children, were a threat to the Central Plains dynasty.

In Zhong Yu’s understanding, they were not able to faithfully obey their orders, but also coveted the surplus of their own Central Plains site.

After conquering them, I can’t receive any taxes, and I can only get some wool that is useless. What’s the use of keeping them, it is better to kill them all, lest they will come to harm me from time to time.

Zhong Yu, he would rather let those grasslands in the north of himself become a barren land without human beings, than let those grassland barbarians live there alone.

Most of the generals and those generals are strong-tempered people. To put it bluntly, they are a bit tyrannical and easy to kill. For Zhong Yu’s order, it is in favor of both hands and feet.

With the order of their emperor, they can try to let go of the tyranny in their hearts, kill those grassland peoples with their favorite hobbies, and they don’t have to worry about those civil servants who like to meddle in their own affairs.

Because this is the emperor’s order, you dare to question the emperor’s order, do you think your family has too many people?

If you want to reduce it, our emperor is even more brutal than those grassland barbarians!

So, after this scourge of the Northern Expedition.

The population of the Xianbei tribe on the grassland used to be more than two million. This time, it has completely reduced him by more than 300,000 people, which can be said to be a great loss of strength.

However, they were not happy in their hearts, and they repelled the attack of the Royal Kingdom.

Cao Cao’s group of troops had just been replaced, and the second group of troops was Sun Jian and Dong Zhuo, these two strong soldiers and their troops, and started the second northern expedition.
