Chapter 358: Fengshan Taishan (Grand Finale)
Moreover, after Lu Yi unifies the south of the desert, he will send his second son Liu Rong to become the King of the North who rules the core of the desert.
Along with him came the constant impact of Confucian etiquette and laws.
By creating a religious culture similar to Tibetan Buddhism that can completely control other ethnic groups spiritually, the Hu people can be completely sinicized and the threat from the north can be completely resolved.
Moreover, Lü Yi would emulate the Qing Dynasty's policy towards the Mongolian tribes, restricting each tribe to fixed pastures and prohibiting the tribes from natural migration and nomadism.
This will fundamentally block the annexation and competition among nomadic peoples.
As a result, the nomadic tribes will become a loose sand and will gradually differentiate into scattered tribes with tribal autonomy like the Western Qiang.
"Your Majesty, Budugen's envoy has arrived!"
Led by Lu Bu, Toto was led outside Lu Yi's tent.
"Pass it in."
Lu Yi gave a calm instruction.
Toto was searched by the guards and then led into the royal tent.
"The foreign barbarians pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty."
After these years of experience, Toto has transformed from a stable boy into a qualified politician.
Today, the Han is strong and the Rong and Di are weak.
Therefore, as soon as Toto entered the big tent, he knelt down respectfully in front of Lu Yi.
"Haha, Toto, you are also my old friend, so there is no need to worry about these empty formalities."
"Are you here with good news about Budugen?"
Lu Bu waved his hand casually and went straight to the point.
"Your Majesty, Chief Budugen has agreed to your request and agreed to use himself as bait to lure Kebi Neng's entire army to attack. When your Majesty leads the Han army in person, you and I will attack from both inside and outside, and Kebi Neng will undoubtedly be defeated!"
Upon hearing this, Toto immediately replied respectfully.
When Toto and Lu Yi first met, he was just a slave, and Lu Yi was just a small chief of Jiuyuan Pavilion.
I didn't expect that only ten years would pass.
Thanks to Lu Yi, he became a noble among the Xianbei.
Lu Yi transformed himself into a dragon when the wind and clouds turned, and he leaped into the universe to become the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, Toto, who understood Lu Yi's methods, did not dare to give up in front of Lu Yi.
"very good!"
"Go back and tell Budugen that I, Lu Yi, always keep my word. After this is accomplished, he will be the king of Xianbei!"
Lu Yi was quite satisfied with Toto's attitude and waved his hand to send him away.
"Your Majesty, are you really going to make Budugen the king?"
"You know, his grandfather's body and his brother's life were taken away by us."
"There's no guarantee that this person won't seek revenge when he becomes powerful in the future!"
After Toto left, Lu Bu immediately began to advise Lu Yi.
The first battle that made the two brothers famous was the Xianbei War.
In that battle, not only Budugen's younger brother was killed by Lu Bu.
Even the body of Tan Shihuai, the legendary Chanyu of the Xianbei and Budugen's grandfather, was plundered by Lu Bu.
This hatred is really too huge.
Even if Budugen was a Hu person, there was no guarantee that he would not rebel against the Han Dynasty in the future.
“Those who achieve great things don’t stick to trivial matters!”
"Your Majesty, please consider this carefully!"
The military advisor Ju Su also stepped forward to advise.
"Haha, there's no need to worry too much, I have my own considerations!"
"Now that the war is imminent, troops will be dispatched to Mobei soon. All civil and military officials must carefully arrange military affairs."
Lu Yi waved his hand and gave the order.
Three days later.
Budugen sent another envoy, but Kebi Neng had already fallen into the trap and was just waiting for Lu Yi's army to arrive.
Lu Yi, who had been waiting for the opportunity for a long time, immediately led the entire army north.
The purpose of encirclement and annihilation warfare is to take the enemy by surprise.
The Han army's strong organizational level was something the Xianbei could not understand.
Coupled with the barrier of the south of the desert, Kebi Neng was completely kept in the dark about the Han army's expedition.
Seeing that Budugen still dared to challenge him, he thought that the time to unify the Xianbei had finally come.
Therefore, he surrounded Budugen's tribe with his entire army, determined to annex Budugen in one fell swoop and make himself the real master of the Xianbei.
The Xianbei's struggle for bloodline and ability has lasted for ten years.
Today is the time to see who is better.
However, in order to annex Budugen's tribe as much as possible.
After Kebi Neng surrounded Budugen, he did not immediately order an encirclement and annihilation.
Instead, he was extremely generous and said that as long as Budugen was willing to lead his people to surrender, he could still be named the Left Wise King of the Xianbei for the sake of Tan Shihuai.
The difference is immediately apparent.
If it was Budugen who besieged Kebineng.
I’m afraid Budugen can’t bear it for a moment.
It is better to completely destroy the entire Xianbei tribe than to allow a disobedient person like Kebi Neng to exist.
No matter how powerful the Xianbei are, it is meaningless if they are not owned by Budugen.
No matter how small the Xianbei were, as long as they belonged to Budugen alone, their existence would be meaningful.
But Kebineng knew that Budugen was just a small stumbling block on the road to the Xianbei's resurgence.
In addition to Budugen, there were the Xiongnu in the south of the desert and the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains.
If it is said that Budugen inherited Tan Shihuai's bloodline.
Then Ke Bineng inherited Tan Shihuai's ambition and vision.
In front of the latter, bloodline is not worth mentioning at all.
It is also because of this that Budugen always has more losses than wins when facing Kebineng, who is obviously weaker than him at the beginning.
Now they are in a desperate situation where only Ke Bi can surround them.
However, Budugen could not defeat Kebinen.
But Lu Yi, the one he placed his hopes on, could easily defeat Ke Bineng.
The only way for Ke Bi to survive when facing Lu Yi is to escape far away to Mobei before the formation is formed.
Only in this way can he preserve his strength.
Now that Lu Yi is within sight, Budugen will certainly not miss this opportunity to eliminate his archenemy.
He did this to hold Kebineng back.
Pretend to think about it for a few days.
Kebi Neng was unwilling to push too far. In addition to becoming the Khan of the Xianbei, he also hoped to lead the Xianbei to recreate the great achievements of his ancestor Tan Shihuai and make the Xianbei the masters of the world.
Therefore, facing Budugen's plan of false surrender.
Kebi Neng once again chose to accept it magnanimously, thus destroying the Xianbei's only chance to rise again.
because.
Three days later.
Kebi Neng did not wait for Budugen's surrender.
Instead, they waited for Lu Yi's fully armed and highly motivated army of 300,000!
Although the Xianbei had recovered their strength after ten years of development, they now had as many soldiers as Yu Luyi's army.
But Kebi only had two-thirds of them, an army of 200,000.
Moreover, there is no comparison between light cavalry and heavy cavalry.
What’s even more terrifying is that in order to completely annihilate the Xianbei and recover the northern desert.
Lu Yi finally used his ultimate weapon.
Double stirrups and horseshoes.
Therefore, when Lu Yi's army came to attack, Kebineng's entire army immediately fell into panic.
The reason why the Hu people are difficult to defeat.
It's not about how strong the fighting power is.
But the mobility is too strong.
In a favorable battle, the defeated soldiers will basically be hunted down and killed by the Hu people who are like Lu Bu possessed.
Even if they were fighting against the wind, the high mobility of the Hu light cavalry allowed them to withdraw from the battlefield in an instant.
The vast desert is a bitter and cold place for the Han people, and all the food and supplies have to be allocated from the rear.
The daily military expenditure is an astronomical figure.
For the Hu people, the sky is their blanket, the ground is their mat, and the cattle and sheep in the tribe are their food.
For them, any place with grass and water is home.
Therefore, they can survive even in extremely cold and harsh places.
Therefore, this is the reason why the Han regimes repeatedly failed in their northern expeditions.
However, Lu Yi invested a lot of money in this battle.
Not to mention the money, food and supplies that had been stored for several years.
There were also the Huns in the south of the desert as vassal troops.
And Xianbei traitors like Budugen were used as bait.
Therefore, Ke Bineng is doomed this time.
The powerful Han army, led by 100,000 armored cavalry, charged towards Kebi Neng like an unstoppable torrent and immediately defeated the Xianbei people.
Ke Bineng is worthy of being the only two heroes in the north besides Tan Shihuai.
Even in the face of adversity, he still maintained command.
He tried his best to organize the army around him, hoping to rely on the mobility of the Hu cavalry to bypass the slow-moving heavy cavalry and launch a counterattack on the light cavalry and baggage troops behind Lu Yi.
However, after he actually engaged the Han army, he discovered that the Han soldiers, whose riding skills were originally good, actually possessed riding skills that were no less than those of the Xianbei people.
Moreover, the Han army's war horses seemed to have some kind of magical power.
They all seem to have become good horses.
Obviously they are all the same prairie horses.
However, the Han army's war horses not only had much greater endurance than the Xianbei people's war horses.
Even some gravel-covered terrain could not hinder the galloping of war horses.
This sudden change frightened Ke Bineng even more than the change in the Han army's riding skills.
Because this means that the Xianbei people can no longer escape when faced with a surprise attack by the Han people!
"Lü Yi!"
"I, the Xianbei Right Army, have no grudge against you, why do you keep targeting me?!"
After Kebineng charged several times, he saw that not only did he fail to cause any serious damage to the Han army, but his own side suffered heavy casualties and the number of men was greatly reduced. He was already on the verge of collapse.
Therefore, this man who was almost able to unify the entire Xianbei tribe in Mobei and become the second generation Khan of the Xianbei could not help but roar at the top of his lungs at Lu Yi who was under the imperial flag in the distance.
"Kill my compatriots, enslave my people, rape my women, plunder my money, burn my homes..."
"You still keep saying that you have no grudge against me?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yi couldn't help but sneer and hit back.
"I am the Son of Heaven, governing the people on behalf of Heaven, and all the people of the world are my subjects."
"You Xianbei people have committed so many crimes, how can you say that you have no grudges against me?"
Lu Yi's words were so sharp that Ke Bineng had nothing to say in response.
If it were an ordinary Hu people, they might have ignored Lu Yi's words and were extremely arrogant.
However, Kebi Neng had admired Han culture for many years and was the most sinicized Xianbei person.
Therefore, he had nothing to say in the face of Lu Yi's accusations.
But having nothing to say doesn't mean he is willing to give up his desire to die.
"It's no use talking more!"
"Even if I, Ke Bineng, lose today, I will not be your dog!"
"My men, follow me to kill the enemy!" Ke Bineng led the last tens of thousands of soldiers who still had the will to fight and launched a death charge towards the Han army.
"Humph, it's just a firefly shaking the moon."
"Defeat the Xianbei and completely recapture Mobei now. Soldiers, follow me and charge!"
In order to completely eliminate the possibility of the Xianbei rising up again, Lu Yi led his army to charge forward, regardless of his status as emperor.
When generals such as Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhang He and 300,000 Han soldiers saw that even the emperor was charging ahead, they immediately became excited and followed Lu Yi to kill the Xianbei.
"Get off!"
After just one encounter, Kebi Neng, who was the bravest of the Xianbei, was stabbed off his horse by Lu Bu's halberd, who came with the might of thunder, and his life or death was unknown.
The last tens of thousands of Xianbei troops behind him were also wiped out under the charge of 300,000 Han troops.
"Our army won!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
"Long live the big man!"
After defeating Kebi Neng, countless Han people shed tears and shouted loudly.
The army brought by Lu Yi was mostly composed of Han people from the north.
These Han people had been plundered countless times in the past by the Hu people, represented by the Xianbei, who came from the south.
It can be said that every household has a mortal feud with the Xianbei.
Now Lu Yi can lead them to defeat the Xianbei.
How not to excite and delight them.
However, Kebi Neng is just an appetizer.
"The remaining Xianbei enemies have not been destroyed yet. Generals, follow me and continue to kill them!"
After Lu Yi dealt with Ke Bineng, he did not stop his journey.
Instead, he continued to lead his generals to attack Budugen who was originally surrounded by Kebineng.
"Great!"
"That bastard Ke Bineng is finally dead!"
"Hehe, I have to thank that bastard Lu Yi for helping me get rid of this archenemy!"
"Now that Kebi Neng has been eliminated, who in the entire Mobei can still be my opponent?"
"I will first submit to you for a few years, and when the time is right, I will be able to restore the prestige that I had when Grandpa was alive."
"Then I can avenge Lu Yi for killing my brother and taking my parents away!"
When Budugen saw his powerful enemy Kebineng being stabbed to death by Lu Yi's halberd in the camp, he could not help but jump up in excitement.
Later, he did not want Lu Yi to kill too many Xianbei people under Kebi Neng, so he went to fight under the pretext of helping, hoping to take the opportunity to gather the Xianbei defeated soldiers who had fled because of Kebi Neng's death in battle.
However, when he led his troops out of the camp and prepared to meet up with Lu Yi, he discovered something unusual.
Now, Lu Yi is very close to him.
Why didn't he slow down to meet me, but instead led his troops to rush towards me at a faster speed?
"not good!"
"This Lu Yi is trying to cheat!"
Budugen suddenly thought of a terrible result and was horrified. He quickly wanted to order his troops to retreat.
However, before that, he and Lu Yi were walking towards each other.
Now Lu Yi has accelerated to the limit.
And if he wanted to avoid Lu Yi's edge.
The only options available were to turn around and run away or to move to the sides.
However, no matter which road they took, it would be a dead end for the galloping heavy cavalry.
"Lü Yi!"
"You don't keep your word!"
"You clearly promised to make me king after getting rid of Kebineng!"
"Is this how the emperor of the Han Dynasty goes back on his word?"
"Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the world?"
Seeing that escape was hopeless, Budugen could only ridiculously rely on verbal attacks.
But when it comes to verbal attacks, Lu Yi is his ancestor.
All the Xianbei leaders combined cannot defeat Lu Yi alone.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yi continued to urge the army to speed up the charge, while he couldn't help laughing loudly on his horse.
"Hahaha……"
"The little barbarian is ridiculous, ridiculous!"
"I only said that I would make you the king of Xianbei, but I never said that I would let you go."
"Since you took charge of the Xianbei Left, you have committed numerous sins. Today is your retribution!"
"Besides, one doesn't have to be crowned a king during his lifetime."
"It's not impossible to posthumously honor someone after death!"
After Lu Yi finished speaking, he was unwilling to pay any attention to the frightened and angry Budugen, and led his army directly to attack the last remnants of the Xianbei.
After only one round of charge, the remaining Xianbei troops suffered heavy casualties and dismounted to surrender.
The bandit leader Bu Dugen also fell off his horse and was trampled to death by the mounts of both armies.
Although he and his grandfather Tan Shihuai were leaders of the Xianbei, they made great contributions to the unification of the Xianbei.
But he is a hero and I am a bandit.
Isn't their contribution a harm to the Han people?
Tan Shihuai's body left exposed in the wilderness and Budugen's tragic death under his horse were punishments for their sins.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for eliminating the great enemy and unifying the four seas!"
Seeing that all the Xianbei upper class had been killed by Lu Yi, Ju Su immediately led the civil officials accompanying the army to come forward to congratulate.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for your unprecedented achievements. We are proud to follow Your Majesty!"
Lu Bu immediately led his generals to come forward to congratulate.
"This is all due to the wisdom of the civil officials and the dedication of the military officers. It is not my own achievement!"
"Your Majesty's achievements in civil and military affairs are unmatched in history. You should be enshrined in Mount Tai!"
"We can move the troops to Mount Tai when the army returns to the Central Plains."
Upon hearing this, Ju Su gave another advice.
"Yes, your majesty's achievements are unprecedented in history, and you should be honored with a great Fengshan ceremony!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Bu and other generals stepped forward to persuade him.
"Well, since all the ministers say so."
"Call the world!"
"Give amnesty to the whole world and perform the Fengshan ceremony!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yi would not miss such an opportunity to declare the legitimacy of his regime and would follow suit.
"We will obey your order..."
……
The first day of June, the first year of Huangtong.
After settling all matters in Mobei.
Lu Yi led a large army and escorted the head of the Xianbei bandit leader and some captives back to the Taimiao in Luoyang to report the victory.
The last time Lu Yi defeated the Guandong coalition forces, the victory was also in Taimiao.
However, the protagonist is not himself, but the Young Emperor Liu Bian.
Lu Yi was unable to enter the Taimiao.
But this time, Lu Yi became the emperor after Liu Bian abdicated.
He is an upright emperor.
Naturally, he was qualified to enter the Taimiao.
After the victory at Taimiao.
The first day of October.
Lu Yi led the civil and military officials and moved to Mount Tai.
Perform the Fengshan ceremony.
China has a very long history.
So much so that the number of only one emperor in an era was not rare.
That’s 422 people in total.
However, only six of them were able to be enthroned on Mount Tai.
Of course, offering sacrifices to the gods at Mount Tai is the ultimate dream of every emperor.
However, not all emperors could achieve their wish.
There are only three people ranked before Lu Yi.
They are Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Guangwu.
Lu Yi's achievements now are no less than those of these three people.
However, it is easy to conquer the world.
Governing the world is difficult.
Compared with his ten years of military career, Lu Yi will need to spend more time and energy to govern the great land of the Han Dynasty.
But governance is governance.
No matter how great a country is, it will be in danger if it forgets war.
Lu Yi would not completely give up his martial arts.
There are still many places around the Han Dynasty waiting for him to conquer.
To the east are Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, and Wa...
To the west, there are thirty-six countries in the Western Regions.
Now Lu Yi is in his prime.
There is plenty of time to clean up slowly.
The Han Dynasty avoided the chaos of the Three Kingdoms because of the appearance of Lu Yi.
The national strength is far from the scale of the mere millions of people during the Three Kingdoms period of Wei, Shu and Wu.
Today's Han Dynasty not only has a vast territory and a large population, but also has many military generals and counselors...
The war potential and degree of danger are naturally far greater than those of the same period.
In October of the third year of Huangtong, Lü Yi's governance of the empire began to show results. With the crown prince Liu Tong as the commander-in-chief, Lü Bu as the deputy commander-in-chief, and generals such as Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Zhang He as wings, he raised an army of 50,000, and combined it with 100,000 Xiongnu and Xianbei vassal troops, a combined force of 150,000, and swept across the Liaodong Peninsula.
In November, the Han army destroyed Goguryeo.
In December, the Han army destroyed Baekje again.
At the end of the third year, the Han army destroyed Silla again.
Liu Tong escorted the royal ministers of the Three Kingdoms and tens of thousands of captives back to the court.
Lu Yi rewarded Liu Tong with the title of Crown Prince and heir to the throne of the Han Dynasty.
The kings of the three kingdoms were granted the title of Marquis of Guiyi, and their relatives and ministers were demoted to commoners.
The Three Kingdoms were abolished and the four old Han counties of Lelang, Xuantu, Zhenfan and Lintun were established.
In the fourth year of Huangtong, the people of Wa were afraid of the power of the Han Dynasty, so they paid tribute and sent envoys to submit. Lu Yi bestowed on their leader the seal of the King of Wa.
In the tenth year of Huangtong, the second round of recuperation made the Han Dynasty even stronger.
Lu Yi began to turn his attention to the vast northwest.
After a brief period of civil unrest at the end of the Han Dynasty, the Protectorate of the Western Regions existed in name only.
It is time to re-establish a little Han influence among the countries in the Western Regions.
On the tenth day of the tenth month in Huangtong, Lu Yi appointed Crown Prince Liu Tong as regent and led an army of 100,000 to embark on the Western Expedition.

After Kebineng charged several times, he saw that not only did he fail to cause any serious damage to the Han army, but his own side suffered heavy casualties and the number of men was greatly reduced. He was already on the verge of collapse.
Therefore, this man who was almost able to unify the entire Xianbei tribe in Mobei and become the second generation Khan of the Xianbei could not help but roar at the top of his lungs at Lu Yi who was under the imperial flag in the distance.
"Kill my compatriots, enslave my people, rape my women, plunder my money, burn my homes..."
"You still keep saying that you have no grudge against me?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yi couldn't help but sneer and hit back.
"I am the Son of Heaven, governing the people on behalf of Heaven, and all the people of the world are my subjects."
"You Xianbei people have committed so many crimes, how can you say that you have no grudges against me?"
Lu Yi's words were so sharp that Ke Bineng had nothing to say in response.
If it were an ordinary Hu people, they might have ignored Lu Yi's words and were extremely arrogant.
However, Kebi Neng had admired Han culture for many years and was the most sinicized Xianbei person.
Therefore, he had nothing to say in the face of Lu Yi's accusations.
But having nothing to say doesn't mean he is willing to give up his desire to die.
"It's no use talking more!"
"Even if I, Ke Bineng, lose today, I will not be your dog!"
"My men, follow me to kill the enemy!" Ke Bineng led the last tens of thousands of soldiers who still had the will to fight and launched a death charge towards the Han army.
"Humph, it's just a firefly shaking the moon."
"Defeat the Xianbei and completely recapture Mobei now. Soldiers, follow me and charge!"
In order to completely eliminate the possibility of the Xianbei rising up again, Lu Yi led his army to charge forward, regardless of his status as emperor.
When generals such as Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhang He and 300,000 Han soldiers saw that even the emperor was charging ahead, they immediately became excited and followed Lu Yi to kill the Xianbei.
"Get off!"
After just one encounter, Kebi Neng, who was the bravest of the Xianbei, was stabbed off his horse by Lu Bu's halberd, who came with the might of thunder, and his life or death was unknown.
The last tens of thousands of Xianbei troops behind him were also wiped out under the charge of 300,000 Han troops.
"Our army won!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
"Long live the big man!"
After defeating Kebi Neng, countless Han people shed tears and shouted loudly.
The army brought by Lu Yi was mostly composed of Han people from the north.
These Han people had been plundered countless times in the past by the Hu people, represented by the Xianbei, who came from the south.
It can be said that every household has a mortal feud with the Xianbei.
Now Lu Yi can lead them to defeat the Xianbei.
How not to excite and delight them.
However, Kebi Neng is just an appetizer.
"The remaining Xianbei enemies have not been destroyed yet. Generals, follow me and continue to kill them!"
After Lu Yi dealt with Ke Bineng, he did not stop his journey.
Instead, he continued to lead his generals to attack Budugen who was originally surrounded by Kebineng.
"Great!"
"That bastard Ke Bineng is finally dead!"
"Hehe, I have to thank that bastard Lu Yi for helping me get rid of this archenemy!"
"Now that Kebi Neng has been eliminated, who in the entire Mobei can still be my opponent?"
"I will first submit to you for a few years, and when the time is right, I will be able to restore the prestige that I had when Grandpa was alive."
"Then I can avenge Lu Yi for killing my brother and taking my parents away!"
When Budugen saw his powerful enemy Kebineng being stabbed to death by Lu Yi's halberd in the camp, he could not help but jump up in excitement.
Later, he did not want Lu Yi to kill too many Xianbei people under Kebi Neng, so he went to fight under the pretext of helping, hoping to take the opportunity to gather the Xianbei defeated soldiers who had fled because of Kebi Neng's death in battle.
However, when he led his troops out of the camp and prepared to meet up with Lu Yi, he discovered something unusual.
Now, Lu Yi is very close to him.
Why didn't he slow down to meet me, but instead led his troops to rush towards me at a faster speed?
"not good!"
"This Lu Yi is trying to cheat!"
Budugen suddenly thought of a terrible result and was horrified. He quickly wanted to order his troops to retreat.
However, before that, he and Lu Yi were walking towards each other.
Now Lu Yi has accelerated to the limit.
And if he wanted to avoid Lu Yi's edge.
The only options available were to turn around and run away or to move to the sides.
However, no matter which road they took, it would be a dead end for the galloping heavy cavalry.
"Lü Yi!"
"You don't keep your word!"
"You clearly promised to make me king after getting rid of Kebineng!"
"Is this how the emperor of the Han Dynasty goes back on his word?"
"Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the world?"
Seeing that escape was hopeless, Budugen could only ridiculously rely on verbal attacks.
But when it comes to verbal attacks, Lu Yi is his ancestor.
All the Xianbei leaders combined cannot defeat Lu Yi alone.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yi continued to urge the army to speed up the charge, while he couldn't help laughing loudly on his horse.
"Hahaha……"
"The little barbarian is ridiculous, ridiculous!"
"I only said that I would make you the king of Xianbei, but I never said that I would let you go."
"Since you took charge of the Xianbei Left, you have committed numerous sins. Today is your retribution!"
"Besides, one doesn't have to be crowned a king during his lifetime."
"It's not impossible to posthumously honor someone after death!"
After Lu Yi finished speaking, he was unwilling to pay any attention to the frightened and angry Budugen, and led his army directly to attack the last remnants of the Xianbei.
After only one round of charge, the remaining Xianbei troops suffered heavy casualties and dismounted to surrender.
The bandit leader Bu Dugen also fell off his horse and was trampled to death by the mounts of both armies.
Although he and his grandfather Tan Shihuai were leaders of the Xianbei, they made great contributions to the unification of the Xianbei.
But he is a hero and I am a bandit.
Isn't their contribution a harm to the Han people?
Tan Shihuai's body left exposed in the wilderness and Budugen's tragic death under his horse were punishments for their sins.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for eliminating the great enemy and unifying the four seas!"
Seeing that all the Xianbei upper class had been killed by Lu Yi, Ju Su immediately led the civil officials accompanying the army to come forward to congratulate.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for your unprecedented achievements. We are proud to follow Your Majesty!"
Lu Bu immediately led his generals to come forward to congratulate.
"This is all due to the wisdom of the civil officials and the dedication of the military officers. It is not my own achievement!"
"Your Majesty's achievements in civil and military affairs are unmatched in history. You should be enshrined in Mount Tai!"
"We can move the troops to Mount Tai when the army returns to the Central Plains."
Upon hearing this, Ju Su gave another advice.
"Yes, your majesty's achievements are unprecedented in history, and you should be honored with a great Fengshan ceremony!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Bu and other generals stepped forward to persuade him.
"Well, since all the ministers say so."
"Call the world!"
"Give amnesty to the whole world and perform the Fengshan ceremony!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yi would not miss such an opportunity to declare the legitimacy of his regime and would follow suit.
"We will obey your order..."
……
The first day of June, the first year of Huangtong.
After settling all matters in Mobei.
Lu Yi led a large army and escorted the head of the Xianbei bandit leader and some captives back to the Taimiao in Luoyang to report the victory.
The last time Lu Yi defeated the Guandong coalition forces, the victory was also in Taimiao.
However, the protagonist is not himself, but the Young Emperor Liu Bian.
Lu Yi was unable to enter the Taimiao.
But this time, Lu Yi became the emperor after Liu Bian abdicated.
He is an upright emperor.
Naturally, he was qualified to enter the Taimiao.
After the victory at Taimiao.
The first day of October.
Lu Yi led the civil and military officials and moved to Mount Tai.
Perform the Fengshan ceremony.
China has a very long history.
So much so that the number of only one emperor in an era was not rare.
That’s 422 people in total.
However, only six of them were able to be enthroned on Mount Tai.
Of course, offering sacrifices to the gods at Mount Tai is the ultimate dream of every emperor.
However, not all emperors could achieve their wish.
There are only three people ranked before Lu Yi.
They are Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Guangwu.
Lu Yi's achievements now are no less than those of these three people.
However, it is easy to conquer the world.
Governing the world is difficult.
Compared with his ten years of military career, Lu Yi will need to spend more time and energy to govern the great land of the Han Dynasty.
But governance is governance.
No matter how great a country is, it will be in danger if it forgets war.
Lu Yi would not completely give up his martial arts.
There are still many places around the Han Dynasty waiting for him to conquer.
To the east are Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, and Wa...
To the west, there are thirty-six countries in the Western Regions.
Now Lu Yi is in his prime.
There is plenty of time to clean up slowly.
The Han Dynasty avoided the chaos of the Three Kingdoms because of the appearance of Lu Yi.
The national strength is far from the scale of the mere millions of people during the Three Kingdoms period of Wei, Shu and Wu.
Today's Han Dynasty not only has a vast territory and a large population, but also has many military generals and counselors...
The war potential and degree of danger are naturally far greater than those of the same period.
In October of the third year of Huangtong, Lü Yi's governance of the empire began to show results. With the crown prince Liu Tong as the commander-in-chief, Lü Bu as the deputy commander-in-chief, and generals such as Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Zhang He as wings, he raised an army of 50,000, and combined it with 100,000 Xiongnu and Xianbei vassal troops, a combined force of 150,000, and swept across the Liaodong Peninsula.
In November, the Han army destroyed Goguryeo.
In December, the Han army destroyed Baekje again.
At the end of the third year, the Han army destroyed Silla again.
Liu Tong escorted the royal ministers of the Three Kingdoms and tens of thousands of captives back to the court.
Lu Yi rewarded Liu Tong with the title of Crown Prince and heir to the throne of the Han Dynasty.
The kings of the three kingdoms were granted the title of Marquis of Guiyi, and their relatives and ministers were demoted to commoners.
The Three Kingdoms were abolished and the four old Han counties of Lelang, Xuantu, Zhenfan and Lintun were established.
In the fourth year of Huangtong, the people of Wa were afraid of the power of the Han Dynasty, so they paid tribute and sent envoys to submit. Lu Yi bestowed on their leader the seal of the King of Wa.
In the tenth year of Huangtong, the second round of recuperation made the Han Dynasty even stronger.
Lu Yi began to turn his attention to the vast northwest.
After a brief period of civil unrest at the end of the Han Dynasty, the Protectorate of the Western Regions existed in name only.
It is time to re-establish a little Han influence among the countries in the Western Regions.
On the tenth day of the tenth month in Huangtong, Lu Yi appointed Crown Prince Liu Tong as regent and led an army of 100,000 to embark on the Western Expedition.
