After the decisive battle with the main force of the Donghu people, more than 30,000 Donghu people were barely gathered. After a disastrous defeat, only three thousand escaped.
Since then, the Donghu people's power 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 and linger far away, trying to summon more forces and use guerrilla methods to delay Zhao Yun's attack speed.
As for Zhao Yun and others, they took advantage of the great victory, the morale of the army was good, and the Donghu people temporarily lost their ability to resist, and quickly marched into their royal court.
When King Donghu lost more than 20,000 soldiers and had no strength, and even dared not return to his old base camp, Zhao Yun took advantage of this to occupy the land 300 miles surrounding the royal court, and plundered and captured more than 100,000 people.
In addition to Zhao Yun and others, Guan Yu, Huang Zhong and others also received good news frequently.
These people either accomplished their set goals, or they plundered tens of thousands of people, and divided the various Donghu tribes, completely destroying the Donghu tribe, which originally had a population of one million and more than 200,000 people who controlled strings. The alliance was in pieces.
But things are far from over, although the war has achieved great advantages. However, King Donghu fled to other places, among the tribes that had not been affected by the imperial army and had not suffered much losses 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 understands that he is not the opponent of the imperial army. Therefore, he hid from a distance and never had a head-on confrontation with Zhao Yun and others. Instead, he fought guerrilla warfare everywhere. When the enemy comes, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we fight.
The constant harassment of the supply lines of Zhao Yun and others made them miserable, and the strategy of conquering the grassland was greatly delayed.
However, Zhong Yu had anticipated this before going on the expedition. So he wasn't too worried or anxious. The rest would take time to grind out. Step by step, cities and counties were built on the original territory of the Donghu people.
Slowly encroaching and compressing their areas of activity and squeezing their living space. After developing their land and digesting Donghu's population. He is getting stronger and stronger, but those Donghu people are getting weaker and weaker, and their demise will be a matter of time.
Therefore, the strategic goals were carried out unswervingly, and one county after another was occupied. After cleaning up, no Donghu people were found in places where they were established.
Just like one node after another, connected in series, it becomes a big network. Slowly move the trap towards the Donghu people's activity areas, leaving them with nowhere to escape.
This process will last for him for nearly a year, until all the counties and cities in various places are established, and he will thoroughly take root in this place and gain enough strength.
Those Donghu people who have completely lost their people and do not have enough food sources will slowly perish themselves internally, or be discovered and annihilated by their own army!
Just when they had gained an advantage in the attack on the Donghu people, 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 experts who have accumulated experience for countless years to join in and defend with the defenders.
It was a bit difficult to win easily, and at the beginning, the masters assassinated high-level officers and made various small moves that were not on the table. It brought great difficulties to the management of Cao Cao's army, but Cao Cao reacted later and arranged for his own masters to carry out counter-attack.
In terms of the number of masters, Cao Cao has Zhong Yu's configuration. Although it is somewhat inferior to Jizi Chaos and his hundreds of years of accumulation, it is not a huge difference.
After preparations and an ambush, those Jizi North Korean masters who had tasted the sweetness tried to repeat their old tricks, but they failed. Countless ambushes who had been well prepared swarmed forward. After all the Jizi North Korean masters were hunted and killed, only a few of them were relatively strong and lucky enough to escape.
Then those masters from Jizi North Korea did not dare to go out again. They could only huddle in the city, passively defending, and constantly recruiting defenders from the south and troops from various places to come to serve the king.
But these troops who came from various places to support him were no match for Cao Cao's elite army. Groups of reinforcements were directly defeated by Cao Cao's army, and then dispersed. Finally, they were chased by Cao Cao's army and suffered heavy losses.
After that, King Qin's troops from all over the country did not dare to come after hearing the news. They directly said that they would go to their original residence and plan to see the final result of the battle? Then decide how to proceed.
After the strategy of encirclement and reinforcements was implemented, Cao Cao left his 30,000 troops here to contain the defenders of Jizi, the capital of North Korea. And she personally led an army of 20,000 people to the places in Jizi North Korea that had sent reinforcements but had been defeated and wiped out by herself.
Occupying all those areas, blocking the transportation arteries in various places, obstructing checkpoints, and completely cutting off the connection between the capital and other places has eliminated the chance of those in the capital.
When Cao Cao led his army back to the capital again, 1/3 of the entire remaining area of Jizi North Korea had been occupied by Cao Cao. He also completely blocked the remaining connections with the capital.
The entire country has completely become a cage, separating the people inside the country from the outside world. They can't get out or get in, and they are suffocated to death.
Finally, Jizi, the capital of North Korea, resisted for more than a month. Unable to endure this endless siege any longer, Kaesong surrendered.
With the king's surrender of Kaesong, an order issued in the name of the king of Korea was conveyed to the local garrison in various parts of the country. Order them to put down their resistance and accept the acceptance and reorganization of the imperial army.
Most of the frightened defenders did not have any will to fight in the first place. After receiving the king's order, they no longer hesitated in name and simply surrendered.
Of course, there are a few mentally retarded people who insist on refusing to surrender and plan to die with the country. He also supported some relatively remote branches of the royal family, established new kings, and continued to resist in some remote places.
Although these people have a tenacious will to fight, it is difficult for them to have any fundamental impact. They can only influence rebellions limited to one or two counties.
As long as Cao Cao's army is sorted out and the entire Jizi North Korea is free, he can easily wipe them out.
Therefore, after receiving good news from two battlefields one after another. Zhong Yu was already busy at this moment, starting to immigrate to newly occupied areas in various places, and then establish counties and counties to enrich local preparations.
Zhong Yu led his imperial guards to the selected addresses in various places, and then released the prepared civilians at that place to establish counties and counties there. In this way, you can avoid the hard work of rushing around and the consumption of materials in transportation.
