Chapter 619
Lin Yifan, who came later, saw that the [-] Mobei Army had escaped, so he had no choice but to lead his army back to Sirius City with regret.However, after this battle, the Mobei Army suffered heavy losses, and they no longer have the strength to go south, so there is nothing to fear.

After returning to Sirius City, Lin Yifan continued to deal with the affairs of the grassland after the war.Now, the officials coming from Hengshan are on their way, so he can only temporarily sit in Sirius City and do it himself.Fortunately, during this period, he recruited a group of former Donghu officials, including Donghu people, Golden Werewolves, and Central Plains people.One is to appease the panicked people, and the other is to lighten his burden.

The draft grassland system sent to Hengshan for review has been approved by the Government Affairs Council, and it has been decided to implement the system conceived by Umu Manda on the grassland.

Wumu Manda was very excited about this, because as a golden werewolf, he was recognized by Hengshan's senior management.

Lin Yifan did not disappoint him either, and soon appointed him as secretary to assist him in dealing with matters in the grassland.In fact, it is to let him let go of his hands and feet and build a new grassland system.

The aristocrats who had surrendered before also persuaded many tribes to surrender.Especially after the Hengshan Army defeated the Mobei Army, the grassland tribes had a more intuitive understanding of the strength of the Hengshan Army.Whoever dared to resist any longer, led their troops to surrender one after another.

It was the remnant soldiers who had been fleeing. Under the pressure of the Hengshan cavalry, some fled to the ancestral land of Donghu, and some chose to surrender. The situation on the grassland began to stabilize rapidly after the withdrawal of the Mobei Army.

At this time, the planning of the new grassland system also began to be carried out gradually.Lin Yifan planned to set the land of Xijing as Pingzhou and change the city of Xijing to Jingyuan City, which included the territory of the former Jinlang Youxian King.It is divided into eight pastoral areas and six farming areas. It is planned to build 50 cities and migrate [-] people to settle down.

Beizhou was established in the north, with Kunxie City as the governing body, five pastoral areas were designated, five cities were established, and 20 people were relocated to settle.

With Sirius City as the center, Guangzhou was established, and its jurisdiction included the large grasslands from the north of Tieqiang Pass to the south of Beizhou.Divide ten pastoral areas, eight farming areas, build twenty cities, and plan to relocate a population of 70.

Establish Yuanzhou in the eastern grassland, take Nanjing City as the governing body, and change Nanjing City to Suiyuan City.Divide nine pastoral areas, six farming areas, build eighteen cities, and relocate 60 people.

As for the Tokyo area still in the hands of Donghu, it was also set as Liaozhou, and the government was changed from Tokyo to Andong City.Because most of its land is forest land, it is divided into five pastoral areas, thirteen forest areas, and ten farming areas.It is planned to build 50 cities, with a migration population of [-].

This restructuring project is huge, and Lin Yifan plans to spend ten years slowly perfecting it.But the most important thing before is to put a heavy army on the grassland to deter the foolish ambitions of the ministries.Therefore, it is necessary for him to leave a heavy army on the grassland to provide a strong guarantee for the restructuring of Umu Manda.

Now in the hands of Lin Yifan, there are still 13 cavalry.In view of the preliminary determination of the grassland, he must leave at least 5 people here to support him.In addition, another 5 people need to be stationed at Bailuling to prevent the remnants of Donghu from coming out to make trouble.In other words, there are actually only 3 horses left who can be transferred back to Hengshan.

But now the problem came, just yesterday, there was a battle report from Wanren Pass.Qin Yuanhao has been unable to attack Wanren Pass for a long time. Cao Jun has now developed a rudimentary cannon. Although it is not powerful and has a short range, it is still a threat after all.Therefore, he suggested that a second battlefield must be opened up, attacking from Mingzhou instead, attacking Yanzhou from Killing Tiger Pass, taking advantage of most of Cao's troops being restrained at Wanren Pass, and regaining Yanzhou in one fell swoop.

Lin Yifan understood Qin Yuanhao's thoughts, if he wanted to attack Yanzhou from Mingzhou, he would need to use a large number of cavalry.Sweeping Yanzhou with a devastating momentum, did not give Cao Ziyan a chance to increase his troops.But the biggest problem now is that on the grassland, cavalry is more needed to deter hidden threats. Once the cavalry leaves the grassland, I am afraid that the efforts of the past few months will be in vain.

After much deliberation, Lin Yifan finally made a decision.Immediately, he ordered people to summon Luo Feng, Lu Zhan and Wumu Manda to explain the military situation of Wanren Pass and Qin Yuanhao's strategy to them one by one.

After finishing speaking, Lin Yifan said in a deep voice: "Now, Wanren Pass is difficult to go south for a while, and Mingzhou's military strength is too weak to defend, not to attack. Judging from the current situation, it is necessary for us to increase troops to subdue Mingzhou in one fell swoop. Yanzhou cut off the connection between Cao Jun and Donghu. Therefore, I intend to lead 13 cavalry to go south and enter Yanzhou. However, now our army has only [-] cavalry. If we deploy [-] cavalry, only There are [-] remaining cavalry, lest it will be difficult to deter the ministries. What do you think, how should this matter be resolved?"

The three of them looked at each other, their faces becoming serious.

"My lord, there are still [-] infantry in our Sirius City. Although the riding skills are not as skilled as the cavalry, they can also be used as mounted infantry to assist the cavalry to patrol the grassland and deter dissatisfied." Lu Zhan said.

Lin Yifan's eyes lit up, he couldn't help but nodded in agreement, then shook his head and sighed: "It's still not enough, we not only need to sit on the grassland, but also allocate part of our troops to guard against the remnants of the Eastern Hu. How can we solve this?"

Luo Feng stood up and said: "My lord, isn't General Qin still making progress in attacking Wanren Pass? Why don't you send out some soldiers and horses, and the general will send another [-] cavalry to support it. As long as Bailu Ridge is occupied, it will be difficult for Donghu to get out." Deep in the mountains and old forests, come to make trouble."

"This is also a way, but there are too few troops that can be deployed, and I am quite worried." Lin Yifan nodded and frowned.

"My lord, why don't you requisition the soldiers and horses of the various tribes in the grassland?" Wumu Manda stood up and said, "Now the grassland is under the shock of our army, and everyone bows their heads. Just take this opportunity to adopt the check and balance strategy of the Donghu people and mobilize all the tribes The elites, join the army, this can not only weaken the strength of the various departments, but also strengthen the strength of the army, it is a strategy that kills two birds with one stone."

"Well, you're right, I've overlooked this aspect." Lin Yifan was overjoyed immediately, "Umu Manda, if you mobilize the troops from various ministries, how many troops can you summon?"

Wumu Manda thought for a moment, "My lord, according to the various materials collected, if we recruit with all our strength, we can probably get more than [-] soldiers and horses."

"Well, why are there so few?" As soon as these words came out, not only Lin Yifan was stunned, but Luo Feng and Lu Zhan were also shocked.You know, there are still more than 200 million people on the grassland today, how could it be possible that there are only [-] soldiers ready to fight?
"My lord doesn't know that we grassland people can fight on horseback, regardless of age. That's why there is a saying that there are millions of people who control strings." Umu Manda said with a wry smile, "But the real horses are used for fighting. The cavalry, in fact, is only 40 to [-]. A tribe of thousands of tents can train [-] cavalry, which is already very remarkable. The rest are just herdsmen who go out with the army. "

Everyone fell silent when they heard the words. Thinking about it, too, after so many years of war, the losses of the steppe cavalry were huge. There was a battle between the Golden Wolf and the Donghu before, and tens of thousands of cavalry were lost.Later, in the battle between Hengshan and Donghu, the Donghu cavalry lost 30 million and captured tens of thousands of cavalry.Today, there are indeed not many soldiers left to fight in the grassland.
