Dian Wei and Wu Yunzhao had previously joined a "fight to the death" mission because of killing Wu Jianzhang. However, the rewards Dian Wei and Wu Yunzhao received were far less than those of Yang Ye and Murong Ke.
As for the reason, I am afraid it is because Dian Wei and Wu Yunzhao are military generals, and the life-and-death showdown between them basically revolves around force.
Yang Ye and Murong Ke are both top commanders, and if they want to decide life and death, the aspects involved will be very wide.
"General, our army has suffered more than 500 casualties. Now there are only more than 5,000 cavalry left in the entire army, while the Jin army still has nearly 7,000 cavalry. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to implement the next plan."
If the Yuan army wanted to successfully attack Zhenbeiguan, they could not let the Jin cavalry behind them follow. Otherwise, they would not be able to attack the city even if they reached Zhenbeiguan.
When the Yuan army was attacking the city, if the Jin army launched an attack, the Yuan army might be defeated by the Jin army.
After hearing the report from his captain, Murong Ke forced himself to come out of his sad mood. After pondering for a long time, he said calmly: "The whole army sets off to Ningxia County."
The deputy general was stunned. This was obviously inconsistent with the plan, so he asked: "General Ningxia County is the territory of the Jin army. Why are we going there?"
A strange look flashed in Murong Ke's eyes, and he said calmly: "Our army's strength will be replenished there."
The deputy general couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, while Murong Ke looked to the east and said calmly: "Yang Ye, our contest has just begun."
Two days later, Murong Ke led his army to capture Kun County, Ningxia County. Although he continued to drive the people and burn the city, this time there was another link, which was to forcibly recruit the Xiongnu survivors in the city to join the army.
After the Hetao was occupied by the Jin army, nearly 200,000 foreigners were left behind, including many Xiongnu herdsmen. Their resettlement also gave the Jin army a headache.
With such a large population, it is of course impossible to kill them all, but alien races are capricious, and if left alone, they will definitely be a hidden danger.
Eventually, these people were dispersed and settled in various counties in Hetao, and the large number of Han people was used to assimilate these foreign ethnic groups.
With the consolidation of the Jin army's position in Hetao, these people can only accept the rule of the Jin army and gradually forget their identity as Huns. After a few generations, there will naturally be no distinction between Han and Huns.
As for Kuncheng, it is the county with the largest number of Xiongnu survivors among the thirty counties in Hetao, with approximately 8,000 Xiongnu survivors.
Before entering the Hetao, Murong Ke had already made a plan to temporarily recruit the Xiongnu remnants to join the army once the army suffered too many casualties, and he also arranged some back-ups for this purpose.
The Huns are all good horsemen. After simple training, they can be used as regular troops. Although it is impossible not to become an elite, it is still possible to obey military orders and obey dispatches.
Although there were many foreign survivors in the two counties of Yinchuan that Murong Ke conquered before, the casualties of the Yuan army at that time were not large and there was no shortage of troops, so Murong Ke did not launch this plan.
Now Murong Ke only has more than 5,000 cavalry left in his hands, and if he wants to defeat Yang Ye in the next confrontation, he has to start this plan.
There were some Xiongnu remnants in Kun City who had been instigated by Murong Ke to rebel in advance. When Murong Ke attacked the city, the foreigners in the city attacked and opened the city gate, allowing Murong Ke to easily capture Kun City.
Originally, Murong Ke was not prepared to forcibly conquer the Xiongnu survivors, but what he did not expect was that, except for those who were instigated to rebel, most of the Xiongnu survivors had forgotten about the Huns under the comfortable rule of the Jin army. He was unwilling to join Murong Ke's army and participate in the war to help Yuanmeng retake Hetao. Murong Ke also tried his best to talk, but it was no good. He was forced to resort to the next strategy, which was to forcefully recruit the Xiongnu survivors into the army.
However, Murong Ke promised extremely generous conditions and promised to release the conscripted survivors after the war, so this temporarily formed army would not mutiny.
Of the eight thousand alien remnants in Kuncheng, except for the three thousand old and weak women and children who could not go to the battlefield, the other five thousand people of all ages were all recruited into the army by Murong Ke.
In this way, the number of this partial division surged to 10,000, and under the leadership of Murong Ke, they continued to lead Ningxia County to carry out various sabotages.
With the case of the fall of Kun City in the past, Wen Tianxiang, the governor of Ningxia and also the deputy general of Yang Ye, was naturally prepared for Murong Ke and isolated the foreign survivors in the city in advance, so he did not let Murong Ke attack again.
"Captain, those who really participated in the rebellion were only those foreign dignitaries who were deprived of their power by our army. The hearts of the vast majority of the foreign survivors are still towards us. After all, the life of the foreign survivors was not better than that of the Han people, but our Jin army gave us provide a better life for these foreign remnants.”
Wen Tianxiang looked upright and said to Yang Ye in a deep voice: "The current move to isolate all the grassland aliens has caused great panic among the aliens. They are afraid that our army will attack them. If this continues, I am afraid that Force these people to rebel.”
Yang Ye frowned again and said distressedly: "But if these aliens are not isolated, what should we do if there are people planted by Murong Ke among them?"
“When the humble post comes, I will have a plan, which may be able to resolve the panic in the hearts of the foreign remnants.”
Yang Ye couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this, and said quickly: "Sir, please tell me soon."
“Murong Ke was able to force the remnants of foreign tribes into the army, and our army won the hearts of the remnants of foreign tribes. Naturally, we can also recruit foreign tribesmen to join the army and use barbarians to control barbarians.”
Wen Tianxiang's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "What the foreign survivors want is peace of mind, and since the governor has recruited them into the army, it is obvious that he will definitely not do anything to them. By then, the fear in the hearts of the foreign survivors will be relieved, and our army There will also be one more powerful cavalry, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.”
Yang Ye was happy at first when he heard this, but then he frowned and said: "The plan is a good one, but..."
After hesitating for a moment, Yang Ye said: "It is not that there are no foreign cavalry in our Jin army, but the number of foreign cavalry has always been extremely strictly controlled.
So many foreign cavalry were suddenly recruited this time. After this battle is over, it may not be easy for the Lord to explain. "
Wen Tianxiang showed a look of disappointment and said: "Captain, you have to obey the authority when the matter is urgent. What's more, what time is it now, and you still care about the war? Let's win this battle first."
Yang Ye nodded solemnly. He also felt that what Wen Tianxiang said was reasonable. It would be good if he could manage it now, so he decisively followed Wen Tianxiang's suggestion and carefully selected 10,000 Hu cavalry from the alien survivors of the Ningxia army.
In the subsequent contest with Murong Ke, this foreign cavalry provided great help. Without them, Yang Ye might have been defeated by Murong Ke.
