Red Mansion: After being expelled from the family, I was granted the title of Marquis of Mobei

Chapter 1 The Great Victory in Mobei
On September 20th of the third year of Yongping, on the Xiongnu Mobei battlefield, a Zhou cavalry corps of about 50,000 was cleaning up the battlefield.

Looking around, the setting sun was like blood, corpses were scattered all over the ground like mountains, and flames and blood could be seen everywhere.

It is not difficult to guess that this place has just experienced a thrilling and extraordinary battle.

On the battlefield, a golden wolf banner fell to the ground and was trampled on by Zhou soldiers.

A group of captured Xiongnu princes and nobles watched as the Golden Wolf Banner was treated in this way, as if their ancestors' graves were being dug up. However, facing the elite Zhou army that was as fierce as wolves and tigers around them, they did not dare to make any movement.

The Xiongnu people were born on the grasslands and took the wolf as their totem. The golden wolf banner was the symbol of the Xiongnu royal family, the Luandi clan.

The Huns' leader of this generation, the Great Khan Luandi Maodun, was also among the captives. He looked depressed and no longer had the ambition to rule the grassland.

The Zhou cavalrymen skillfully cut off the right ears of the Xiongnu soldiers who died in battle as a mark of achievement, and then cut off the entire head and built a huge Jingguan on the battlefield.

After the Jingguan was completed, a personal soldier came to the center of the Zhou army, knelt on one knee and said.

"General, the battlefield has been cleared and the Jingguan has been built. Please give your instructions."

"understood."

On the central army horse, a white-robed general about twenty years old agreed.

The white-robed general was named Jia Jue, and he was the vanguard general of the Great Zhou Zhenbei Army.

Jia Jue said after a moment of thought.

"Come, bury the stone tablet here. If any barbarians dare to cross this boundary and go south to attack our Great Zhou, this Jingguan will serve as their example. Don't say I didn't warn you."

"Another eight hundred miles, send an urgent military report to the main camp, telling the commander-in-chief that we have won a great victory in Mobei. Our troops have utterly routed the main force of the Xiongnu royal court, beheaded 120,000 people, and captured the Xiongnu Great Chanyu, Luandi Maodun, alive."

"Inform the entire army to camp and rest for two days, and return victorious the day after tomorrow."

"I humble my duty and obey my orders."

Soon, the army began to handle affairs according to Jia Jue's instructions.

Jia Jue sat upright on his horse, looking towards the southwest, his eyes calm and composed.

"Shendu, I will be back soon."

"You old woman, you never imagined that I, a wronged soul who should have died, would be alive again."

"Just wait for me. I will make you pay back what you owe me a hundredfold or a thousandfold."

Three days later, in the Great Zhou Zhenbei Army camp, the commander of the Zhenbei Army, Duke Ying, received a military report from the Mobei front.

At this time, the Duke of England was like an old man with the passion of a young man, and his excitement was beyond words.

"Alright, alright. He pacified Mobei in three years. Back then, I thought it was just the whims of a young man. I never expected that he would actually do it."

Wan Songbai, the deputy general of the Duke of England, also spoke with emotion.

"My Great Zhou has been established for a hundred years, and we have also been fighting the Xiongnu in the north for a hundred years."

"I never thought that General Jia would achieve such success in one battle. From now on, the northern border will be safe."

The Duke of England said with a calm smile.

"To say there is no danger is an exaggeration, but Jia Jue has annihilated the main force of the Xiongnu in Mobei this time, and the grasslands will inevitably fall into chaos."

"Without a few decades of rest and recuperation, you will definitely not be able to threaten our Great Zhou again."

"I have guarded the northern border for twenty years, and I can say that I have achieved something."

"Songbai, send the report to the Divine Capital immediately, eight hundred miles away."

"Your Majesty has longed for this victory, longing for it for far too long." "In order to form the Zhenbei Cavalry Corps, Your Majesty emptied the national treasury."

"If it weren't for this great victory to stabilize people's hearts, I'm afraid your Majesty's throne would be unstable."

"You will finally understand."

Wan Songbai agreed and then went to make arrangements.

The Duke of England sat on the commander's seat, with a smile on his face.

Thinking back to the rookie recruit in the recruit camp three years ago, and then thinking about the vanguard general of the Zhenbei Army who is now galloping across the northern desert, all kinds of past events came to the Duke of Ying's mind.

Time flies, and four days have passed in the blink of an eye.

On Zhuque Street in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a fast horse was galloping at full speed.

The common people on the street quickly retreated three feet away, fearing that they would bump into the postman.

The postman shouted loudly while galloping on his horse.

"Eight hundred miles north of the desert, the Northern Guards have utterly routed the Xiongnu royal court and captured the Xiongnu Great Chanyu alive."

"Eight hundred miles north of the desert, the Northern Guards have utterly routed the Xiongnu royal court and captured the Xiongnu Great Chanyu alive."

When the common people on both sides heard the words of the postman, they all smiled and were excited.

In front of the Taimiao Temple in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a middle-aged man dressed in a dragon robe and looking majestic was kneeling quietly in front of the shrines of the emperors of all dynasties in the Taimiao Temple.

The middle-aged man was none other than Emperor Yongping of the Zhou Dynasty.

Emperor Yongping bowed and prayed devoutly.

"Ancestors, I pray for your blessing. This battle in Mobei must be a success. Only then can our Great Zhou be stable, and I can free up my hands to rectify internal affairs and enrich the country and strengthen the people."

While praying, Emperor Yongping couldn't help but recall that two and a half years ago, when he was inspecting the Zhenbei Army, he met a young man in Bailongyufu.

The young man spoke to him eloquently, saying that if the court followed his strategy, it could pacify the northern desert in three years.

At first, Emperor Yongping did not take it seriously. However, when the young man explained the strategy to him one by one, Emperor Yongping was surprised to find that this was actually an effective strategy against the Huns.

It was this chance encounter that strengthened Emperor Yongping's determination to completely resolve the Xiongnu border threat.

After this inspection, Emperor Yongping sold everything he had, emptied the national treasury and the inner treasury. The entire Great Zhou tightened its belt for two years and managed to support a 100,000-strong cavalry army in the Zhenbei Army.

The young man did not disappoint him. In the first year of the army's formation, he led his troops to annihilate the Xiongnu Right Wise King's tribe and successfully cut off an arm of the Xiongnu Great Khan.

The young man then led his army to attack Hetao, taking back this land that had been out of the control of the Central Plains dynasty for more than 300 years since the previous dynasty, and firmly controlling it in the hands of Da Zhou, allowing Da Zhou to once again own its own horse farm.

Now, this general who he had high hopes for once again led his army on a journey. This battle would completely determine the future situation and direction of the Great Zhou and the Xiongnu.

Emperor Yongping knew that he had done everything he could.

The only thing he could do now was to give 200% trust to the general he personally selected, and then quietly wait for the outcome of this gamble between the two countries' national destinies.

Just as Emperor Yongping was praying silently in the Taimiao, a shout suddenly came from outside.

Emperor Yongping frowned and was about to stand up to ask, but when he listened carefully, his body suddenly trembled with excitement.

"Eight hundred miles north of the desert, the Northern Guards have utterly routed the Xiongnu royal court and captured the Xiongnu Great Chanyu alive."

"Eight hundred miles north of the desert, the Northern Guards have utterly routed the Xiongnu royal court and captured the Xiongnu Great Chanyu alive."
