Chapter thirty-eight, crossing the river
(The war is about to begin, where are your subscriptions?
February 7, the second year of Chuping in the Han Dynasty, may be just an ordinary day for most people in the world, but for Lu Bu, this is not an ordinary day. Welcome to read
It was on this day that he officially declared war on the Southern Huns. The name was certainly easy to find, and it would definitely give him the moral upper hand, at least the moral upper hand on the Han people's side.
Since the Zhongping reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the Southern Huns who had been fattened by the Hetao Plain have not changed their wolfish nature and have repeatedly violated the border. Because of the internal turmoil in the Han Dynasty, especially since the Yellow Turban Uprising in the first year of Zhongping, the waves of uprisings in various places have been repeated.
Absolutely, natural disasters have occurred one after another, and the imperial court is already in dire straits. How can it still care about the frontier fortress, so it can only let it wreak havoc. Of course, the people here will suffer in the end.
In fact, let alone the time of the Ling Emperor, this kind of thing had never happened before, but it was not so frequent, and there was no such large-scale invasion.
Especially in the fifth year of Zhongping, when Xu Bu Shan Yu Fang succeeded to the throne, he invaded the south in the winter of the same year. It can be said to be the most terrifying and barbaric invasion in the past twenty years. Most of the northern parts of Xihe County suffered, and almost
This directly resulted in the sparsely populated situation in most parts of northern Xihe County today.
He Lu Bu was the Han Dynasty's Bingzhou Mu, Marquis of Wen, and General Fenwei. Under the banner of the Han Dynasty, he attacked the evil-doing Xiongnu. Of course, there was no problem, and the people in Hexi would applaud him.
But this, at least for the time being, cannot change his weak position in comparison with the Huns' military power. We still have to fight to find out how it will be.
The spring of the second year of Chuping gradually showed its graceful grace, and the wind and frost in the north of Saibei were still strong. On the river surface, because the cold weather did not decrease immediately as winter went away, the ice layer had not yet melted, and the originally rushing water
The surface of the river seems very quiet now, and the quietness carries a long-lasting aura of historical accumulation.
Before the Han Dynasty, the Yellow River was only called "river", and the so-called name of the Yellow River was first published in the "Book of Han" written by Ban Gu of the Eastern Han Dynasty. After the Song Dynasty, because the Yellow River flowed through the Loess Plateau, the name "Yellow River" was generally adopted and shortened to "Yellow River".
"Yellow", so people at this time called the Yellow River "river water".
Lu Bu almost made a joke when he mentioned the "Yellow River" here before. Fortunately, Lu Cui helped him out and mentioned this saying in Ban Gu's "Book of Han", but after that Lu Bu followed everyone and called the river water.
It made many people think that their Marquis Wen was really knowledgeable, and actually caused a wave of reading among the generals. It was an unexpected change, but of course these are things for later.
Compared with later generations, although the current Yellow River cannot be said to be clear, it is definitely not as turbid as later generations. After all, it is also a water source for agricultural irrigation along the coast. Although it has been turned into animal husbandry by the Huns, the water quality is not too good.
Difference.
Standing on the east bank and looking at the vast river that had turned into ice, Jia Xu smiled at Lu Bu in front of him and said: "After crossing the river, the road ahead will be almost smooth. However, there are not many people in this area. I am afraid we need to go all the way northwest to Pingding."
. Only then can we find the city to rely on. But now the Xiongnu is also in the hands of pacification. If they were not good at defending the city, I'm afraid we wouldn't even have the luxury to hope here."
From the past, why is the Xiongnu's army often raging west of Xihe County, while the aggression in the east is mostly in winter? The most important reason is that there is a rivers in the middle.
The wide and spacious river water runs through the entire Xihe County from the north to south, and the east and west are divided. Only when the winter river is icing, can the horses of the Huns cross the river and come to the east, but in fact, in fact
The population and cities of the Han people are mostly on the east, but I do n’t know if it can only be robbed once a year. At this time, the Huns seemed very fierce at this time.
In the end, it can only be pushed towards the south.
Lu Bu nodded and looked at the army who was cautious on the ice, but fell into thought.
Lu Bu decided to send troops to conquer the Xiongnu. In addition to seizing the opportunity, starting with the strong, Peace Dingxi River County, unifying the needs of the state, and a reason to avoid people in his heart, avoiding the first step of the tragedy of the tragedy of the world.
In addition, there is an important reason, which is also based on where the food comes from after the unification of the state in the future.
That is, for agricultural production, he must also start with the Huns.
It should be known that since Emperor Wu Emperor adopts the adoption of the main father's suggestion, it has always been an important granary in the border area. The main food sources in the surrounding areas, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, and even Xihe.
The reason why the time and local interests and people and people are promoted. First, there is the irrigation water conservancy of the Yellow River, followed by mountains such as mountains and mountains, which will have a certain impact on the climate, which will affect the growth of crop planting.
The formation of the granary, but unfortunately everything was destroyed by the Huns, and even traceing the roots by short -sighted Eastern Han Dynasty.
In fact, the people of the people in the state in addition to the raging of other peoples such as the Xiongnu and Hu Hu, the desertation of the Hebai Plain is also an important reason. I think that the southern Xiongnu was originally nomadic people and lived in water and grass.
Where can I think of going to produce? If this goes on, no matter how long the land has not been cultivated for a long time, it must be deserted. There is no food to produce food. Could these people stay here to starve to death?
Of course, the Heba Plain does not actually be deserted because of the residence of the Huns, but does not do cultivated land, but it is a grassland for the Huns to raise cattle and horses.
Cow and sheep are very suitable, but it depends on the needs of people here. If the Han people are naturally used as cultivated land, after all, they eat more food, and the Huns naturally choose to grant.
Still the meat is not cheerful, cattle and sheep are their life.
For Lu Bu, although according to Jia Yan, the state is not suitable for business as his basis, but if it can be cultivated into a big rear, it is not necessary.
To do this, naturally you still have to hold the He cover plain in your hands.
The ice layer on the surface of the river is very thick, and the sergeant can pass through the thick armor, but those vehicles may not be, and the ice surface is still slippery.
The layer of anti -slip cushion, then let the horse half drag over.
"I knew that there were so many troublesome things to cross the river in the snow and snow, and some of them just hit it later."
Jia Yi shook his head, "I'm afraid the protagonist would feel at that time, why didn't the river cross the river when the river was still freezing. Compared with the river water, you need to find and even make a number of ships to transport soldiers and materials. Now
This difficulty is nothing. "
