Chapter 131
After the decisive battle with the main force of the Donghu people, more than 30,000 Donghu people were reluctantly gathered together. After a disastrous defeat, only a few thousand escaped.
Since then, the power of the Donghu people around the entire royal court has been greatly reduced, and there is no longer any force that can stop Zhao Yun's attack.
They could only escape to the rear, lingering far away, in an attempt to gather more forces and use guerrilla tactics to delay Zhao Yun's attack speed.
And Zhao Yun and others took advantage of the opportunity of the great victory, the good morale of the army, and the moment when the Donghu people temporarily lost their resistance, and quickly marched into their royal court.
When Donghu King had killed more than 20,000 soldiers, lost any strength, and dared not even go back to his old base camp, Zhao Yun took advantage of this to occupy the land 300 miles around the royal court, and captured more than 100,000 people.
In addition to Zhao Yun and his group, Guan Yu, Huang Zhong and other passers-by also reported successes frequently.
These people either completed the set goals, or plundered tens of thousands of people, and separated the various Donghu tribes, completely destroying the Donghu tribe with a population of one million and more than 200,000 people in control. The alliance was torn apart.
But things are far from over like this, although the war has achieved great advantages. However, King Donghu escaped and fled to other places, in those tribes that had not been affected by the imperial army and had not suffered much loss in population and strength. He recruited more than 20,000 people and once again formed a large-scale army.
And this time, he has learned from King Donghu, and deeply understands that he is not the opponent of the imperial army. Therefore, he avoided it from a distance, never confronted Zhao Yun and others head-on, but fought guerrilla warfare everywhere. When the enemy comes, we retreat, when the enemy retreats, we fight.
In this way, the supply line of Zhao Yun and others who have been harassing them has made them miserable, and the strategy of conquering the grassland has been greatly delayed.
But for these things, Zhong Yu had expected them long before he set off on the expedition. So he is not very worried and anxious, and the rest will take time to grind slowly. Step by step, cities and counties were established on the original territory of the Donghu people.
Slowly encroaching and compressing their field of activity, squeezing their living space. At that time, their land has been developed and the population of Donghu has been digested. I am getting stronger and stronger, but those Donghu people are getting weaker and weaker, and it will be a matter of time before they perish.
Therefore, the strategic goal was unswervingly implemented, and one county after another was already occupied. After cleaning it up, no Donghu people were found to be established.
Like one node after another, they are connected in series and become a big network. Slowly, they were ensnared towards the activity area of the Donghu people, so that they had nowhere to escape.
This process will last him for nearly a year. Knowing that the counties and cities in various places have been established, he has completely taken root in this place and has enough strength.
Those Donghu people who have completely lost their own people and do not have enough food sources will surely perish on their own, or be discovered and wiped out by their own army!
Just as the strategy against the Donghu people had gained an advantage, good news came from Cao Cao's army in the southeast.
After two months of hard fighting, although the capital of Jizi North Korea was majestic and well-defended. And there are masters who have accumulated for countless years to join in, defending with the defenders together.
It is difficult to win easily, and at the beginning, those masters assassinated high-level military officers, and all kinds of small tricks that could not be put on the table. The management of Cao Cao's army brought great difficulties, but Cao Cao, who then reacted, arranged for his own masters to carry out anti-encirclement and killing.
In terms of the number of masters, Cao Cao has the configuration of Zhong Yu. Although his accumulation of hundreds of years is somewhat inferior to that of Jizi North Korea, he will not say that there is a big difference.
After making preparations and ambushes, those Jizi North Korean masters who had tasted the sweetness tried to repeat the old tricks, but they stumbled. Countless ambushes who had been prepared for a long time rushed forward. All these Jizi North Korean masters were hunted down, and only a few of them were relatively strong and lucky, and escaped back.
Then those masters of Jizi North Korea did not dare to go out again. He could only stay in the city, passively defending, and constantly recruited the defenders from the south, and troops from all over the country to serve the king.
But these troops who came to support from various places are the opponents of Cao Cao's elite army. Batch after batch of reinforcements were directly defeated by Cao Cao's army, then dispersed, and finally chased and killed by Cao Cao's army, with heavy losses.
Afterwards, Qin Wang's troops from all over the country did not dare to come after hearing the news. They directly said that they would bring their original residence and planned to see how the battle ended. Then decide how to proceed.
After the strategy of besieging and attacking aid was realized, Cao Cao left his 30,000 troops here to contain the defenders of the Korean capital of Jizi. And she personally led an army of 20,000 to go to those places in Jizi North Korea that sent reinforcements, but they had already been defeated and wiped out by herself.
Occupying all those areas, and blocking the traffic arteries of various places, blocking checkpoints, and completely cutting off the connection between the capital and other places, has cut off the luck of the people in the capital.
When Cao Cao led his army back to the capital again, 1/3 of the remaining area of Jizi North Korea had been occupied by Cao Cao. The rest was also completely blocked by him, blocking the connection with the capital.
The entire country has completely become a cage, separating the people inside the country from the outside world, unable to get out or in, and suffocated to death.
Finally, Jizi, the capital of North Korea, after resisting for more than a month. Unable to bear this endless siege and siege any longer, Kaesong surrendered.
With the surrender of the king in Kaesong, an order issued in the name of the king of Hezi Joseon was conveyed to the local defenders in various parts of the country. Order them to put down their resistance and accept the reception and reorganization of the imperial army.
Most of the terrified defenders didn't have any will to fight. After receiving the king's order, there was no nominal hesitation, and they simply surrendered.
Of course, there are also a small number of brain-dead people who insist on refusing to surrender and plan to die with the country. And also supported some, relatively remote branches of the royal family, established a new monarch, and continued to resist in some remote places.
Although these people have a strong will to fight, it is difficult to cause any fundamental impact. They can only affect the rebellion limited to one or two counties.
You only need to wait for Cao Cao's army to sort out the whole country of Jizi North Korea, and then you can easily wipe them out.
Therefore, after receiving one after another, the good news from the two battlefields. Zhong Yu is already busy at the moment, starting to immigrate to newly occupied areas in various places, and then establish counties and counties to enrich the local preparations.
Zhong Yu took his imperial guards and rushed to the selected locations in various places, and then released the prepared civilians at that place to let them establish counties there. In this way, it can be avoided, rushing to work desperately, and the consumption of materials in transportation.
