Chapter 25 Don't call me King, I'm just a captain under the Marquis.



Liu Yifei, looking rather shy, stepped forward to thank them.

She liked this Han Chinese name very much.

Diao Chan pulled her over, looked her up and down, and smiled.

Liu Yifei approached Diaochan and peered at her. Behind the veil, Diaochan's face, which looked like that of a celestial being, was vaguely revealed.

She was stunned.

So the Marquis's woman is so beautiful, no wonder he didn't even glance at me.

She was overthinking it.

It seems that his brother Liu Du's wish is likely to be dashed.

"My lord, shall we settle these women and children in first, and then go to the city to buy them some new clothes?"

Diao Chan immediately ordered the women to be dressed up.

The clothes of the Xianbei people were ultimately not very attractive.

Liu Wei nodded.

"Yang Yi, take a few men and escort Madam and Eunuch Gui to the city to make some purchases!"

Guo Luo naturally had to arrange the guard duties.

Immediately, a large group of people escorted Diao Chan towards Zhongling City.

I wonder which shop in the city will get this big order!

Liu Du was deeply moved; this was truly exchanging sincerity for sincerity!

"My lord, I have already informed my 200,000 troops that the vast majority are willing to migrate with me."

"Now we await the Marquis's order."

Liu Du then reported to Liu Wei about the tribe's migration.

The fact that so many people were willing to follow Liu Du shows that his influence within the tribe was extraordinary.

Liu Wei couldn't help but smile knowingly; it seemed his decision was correct.

Two hundred thousand Xianbei people are a treasure.

Cavalrymen who come with their own warhorses and require no training.

A natural expert at raising horses and herding sheep.

Furthermore, the women in these 200,000 Xianbei tribes will also be the marriage partners of Liu Wei's soldiers in the future.

He had countless welfare policies that made Xianbei women proud to marry Han soldiers.

Speaking Chinese, using Chinese characters, and sharing the same bloodline.

The Han culture was used to assimilate Liu Du's Xianbei people, allowing them to fully integrate into Liu Wei's multi-ethnic family.

"Shuofang County, at the foot of Yinshan Mountain, the grassland east of Wuliangsuhai Lake will be the place where your tribe thrives and multiplies!"

Liu Wei unexpectedly obtained a map of the four prefectures of Yunzhong in the county government office of Zhongling City.

Based on his memories from later generations, he knew that in Shuofang County, at the top of the Yellow River's "U-shaped bend," east of Wuyuan City, there was a huge freshwater lake called Wuliangsuhai.

It covers an area of ​​four to five hundred square kilometers.

This lake was formed after the Yellow River changed its course and shifted south.

The area is rich in aquatic plants and has fertile soil.

It can be used for grazing livestock and for cultivating farmland.

“My lord, I’ve heard my ancestors talk about this place before!” Liu Du’s eyes were full of longing.

Every winter, the cold monsoon winds blowing from Siberia turn the Mongolian Plateau north of Yefuling into an ice cave.

Liu Du and his people had to migrate to Dai County, south of Yehuling, every year to spend the winter.

Naturally, conflicts arose between them and the local Han Chinese in Dai County, leading to frequent wars.

Now Liu Wei has allowed this Xianbei people to settle on the shore of Wuliangsuhai Lake at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain.

With the towering Yinshan Mountains blocking the cold northern winds, there was no need to migrate around.

"That...that's the territory of the Southern Xiongnu!"

"Would they agree to us moving there?"

Immediately, Liu Du's joy turned to gloom.

Liu Wei seems to be dangling empty promises at him, trying to subjugate the Xianbei tribes. Is he planning to send them as cannon fodder to fight the Xiongnu?

The Southern Xiongnu people, scattered across the four commanderies of Yunzhong, numbered at least 400,000 to 500,000.

A troop of mounted knights could easily gather at least one or two hundred thousand!

Liu Wei's troops are elite, but they are far too few!

Only ten thousand people.

Thinking of this, Liu Du felt somewhat worried.

"They have no choice but to agree, whether they want to or not!"

"From this day forward, I, the Marquis, shall rule the four commanderies of Shuofang!"

Liu Wei chuckled softly, "Two days have passed, and Lieutenant Xue should have sent good news from Shan Wu's side!"

"Captain Xue!"

Liu Du immediately thought of the young white-robed general who had captured him two days earlier and was preparing to bury alive his elite 3,000 clansmen.

He was knocked off his horse by a single blow from his halberd and even slapped twice.

Recalling Xue Rengui's godlike appearance that day, Liu Du felt a chill run down his spine and stammered, "..."

"My lord, has Commandant Xue... has he gone to Shanwu?"

“That’s right. Didn’t you say that the Right Wise King Yufuluo of the Southern Xiongnu lured you to ambush me?”

Liu Wei said calmly, "Then, two days ago I ordered Lieutenant Xue to lead a thousand cavalry to capture Yu Fuluo and bring him to justice."

What!

Take a thousand cavalrymen and go to Shanwu to capture Yufuluo?

Liu Du couldn't believe his ears.

If Xue Rengui defeated his five thousand ambush troops with a force of three or four thousand soldiers, relying on the superiority of his weapons, he admitted that his strength was inferior.

But Xue Rengui only brought a thousand cavalrymen, yet he was going to Shanwu to capture Yufuluo. He would never believe it even if he were beaten to death.

According to Liu Du, there were 60,000 to 70,000 Xiongnu people gathered in Shanwu, preparing to go south and plunder.

There must be at least 30,000 to 40,000 cavalrymen who can mount up and fight!

Moreover, Huvro was a wise prince with many brave generals by his side.

Only a thousand people are going?

That wouldn't even be enough to fill someone's teeth.

Liu Du became uneasy at this moment.

She even doubted whether it was a wise move for her to submit to Liu Wei.

But now, in order to redeem those three thousand warriors of the tribe, he not only swore allegiance.

They even sent their sister and son as hostages.

He can't go back!

Unless Liu Wei is killed, they will completely rebel.
