"Where is the green mud, there are nine twists and turns in the rocky mountains." [The Road to Shu is Difficult]
Fu Qian was a close confidant of the emperor and a powerful family member in the north, so he could not afford to lose anything. Now that he was isolated from Dou Mao, Ju Jun seemed to have another heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
Therefore, Jujun led more than 5,000 people southward, walked out of the basin between Hechi County of Wudu County and Xiabian County, and followed the old Chencang Road to Qingniling. Before going very far, the road began to change. At first, everything was still the same.
The flat land gradually turned into uneven and winding mountain roads.
The mountains of Qingniling became more and more steep as we walked. After walking for more than ten miles, the path had already swung upwards and hung in the clouds halfway up the mountain. Looking up, the cliffs on both sides almost merged together, like a single
A sky ax cut a majestic peak in half.
Even the wind blowing from the cracks in the mountain was chilling to the bone. After Ju Jun led the people out of the plank road, a scout reported that there was an enemy camp ahead, so he ordered the people to take a rest while he climbed up with dozens of guards.
Go to a high ground and overlook the past.
I saw about a dozen tents scattered on the slightly wider mountain road on that side. In front of the tents there were stakes to keep horses away, and a few Di people were standing idle.
Jujun looked at this and had an idea in his mind. He waved his hand to summon a few people, distributed the plan, and acted according to the plan.
There were dozens of pine torches burning in the corner of the Qingniling tent. Apart from the crackling of the torches, there was no sound at all.
Sitting in the middle is a strong man with a beard as unkempt as a nest of weeds. Even though he is wearing splendid clothes, he looks like a wild bear walking out of the forest and wearing human clothes.
Although the clothes were nondescript and even a little funny, no one in the room dared not to fear him because this man was the most powerful Di king in Wudu County, Dou Mao.
"Your Majesty! This Han army is simply bullying. We have been peacefully settled in Wudu for a long time. Although we have never served and paid tribute, we have never harmed the Han people or attacked the county. Why do they suppress us again and again? This time
The crusade against the King of Han Dynasty was clearly possible through Hanyang, but he deliberately took a detour to Wudu, just to attack us!" A man stood up angrily, his name was Qiang Duan, and he was from Yinping Di, because Yinping
The living environment was harsh, so he led his tribe to rely on Dou Mao and became his capable general.
A rough man who always advocated fighting the Han court to the end said: "No matter what, this time we will simply attack Qingniling, occupy Wudu, and then join forces with King Pinghan and King Di of Jincheng County.
, Baima Di Yangteng from Hanyang County, Agui, the king of Xingguo, and the Qiang from Changli. Let’s all appoint a famous Liangzhou scholar as the leader and gather the crowd to rebel as before!”
"Yes, yes." Many people immediately echoed: "I think Han Sui, the governor of Liangzhou, is fine. He has also hung out with me and others before. Now he wants to be a good man? It depends on whether the court believes in him!"
"No, no, no, Han Sui is too cunning. These Han people are not easy to get along with. I think it is appropriate to recommend one of our own this time." Someone looked at Dou Mao who was sitting there cleverly.
Dou Mao did not make a sound, but gently shook his head, with a few strands of braided hair hanging in front of his eyes, slightly covering the hesitation in his eyes.
Seeing that the situation was getting worse and he was actually moving towards taking the initiative to attack, a mature leader said anxiously: "I am waiting to gather troops and stationed in Qingni this time just to gather strength and wait and see the situation. If the imperial court is really just borrowing power from Taoism,
If we take a detour to the north and attack the King of Han Dynasty, we don’t have to attack the county seat and quarrel with the imperial court. If they really intend to attack us..."
Dou Mao was about to speak when a loud roar suddenly came from the north of the camp, like thousands of horses neighing in the valley. It was so shocking that the large banners erected in the open space in the camp trembled slightly. Those who gathered for fun in the camp,
Di Ren, who was lazy to rest, was frightened by the sound and jumped from the spot. He pulled out his knife in a panic and looked around. At this very moment, the cry of killing swept across the ground like a mountain shaking.
Come!
Everyone who was discussing was stunned. Is this someone attacking the camp?
"It's the Han army!" Someone kept screaming before leaving the tent, trying to incite an atmosphere of panic: "They are really coming to attack us, and they are talking about detours. We will fight to the death with them!"
After hearing this, several leaders drew their swords without thinking and walked out angrily. As the King of Di, Dou Mao had to set an example at this time, and immediately called his subordinates to stabilize the battle formation.
Prepare to meet the enemy.
The enemy troops attacking from outside the tent were all armed with crude copper and iron swords, and few of them were fully clothed in armor. Even so, they were all brave and brave, rushing in like a tide!
These were the Di people who were organized by Wei Duan and served as the vanguard for Ju Jun. They were flexible and light. Before the enemy could react, they worked together to remove the antlers, broke down the gate, and entered the camp. The camp suddenly suddenly
There was a chaos, and they were caught off guard. Some Di people were killed before they could even take their swords. They were so scared that they ran away, crying and screaming. Dou Mao saw that his group of usually elite warriors were scared to death.
If they can't take care of each other, the system will be in chaos.
"Don't run around! Pick up your swords, they belong to warriors, and follow me to kill the enemy!" Dou Mao has a very high prestige among this Di tribe. Under the orders of several Di tribe leaders including Qiang Duan and others, Dou Mao, who was in panic,
Di Ren, who had lost his hands and feet, slowly calmed down. Seeing that the weapons and armor of his opponents were not as good as his own, he became more and more confident. They all held their breath and screamed, vowing to take the scene that they had just been frightened into.
Get it back.
Dou Mao has been dominant in Wudu for many years and has strong soldiers and horses. Whether it is the Di people under his hands or the weapons he is equipped with, they are far superior to other weak tribes. Now, under the leadership of him, Qiang Duan and other pioneers, the situation is quickly reversed.
The situation was resolved. Even though the main camp was broken at this time, they relied on the mountain terrain and their own advantages to disperse the incoming Di people, which numbered less than 2,000 people.
The Di Renyi Cong seemed to be coming with force, but in fact they did not intend to go deep. When Dou Mao and others had just organized a counterattack, they turned around and retreated under the leadership of several leaders. They did not care how many of their companions behind them were killed by the pursuers from behind.
Death, they were running in this rare valley in the mountains, screaming all the way.
Dou Mao felt strange for no reason. He ran away and ran away. Why did he make such a movement, as if he was saying hello to others?
It was already afternoon at this time, the sun had risen to the middle of the sky, and the sunlight was projected from between the two mountains. There seemed to be no shadow in the entire valley.
Only a Han army wearing light armor and holding crossbows was hidden in the short grass and shrubs on both sides. Under the leadership of Ju Jun, they firmly guarded the mountain pass. After their own Di people passed by, layers upon layers of
They sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain, and the leader was none other than Shesheng Colonel Jujun.
He looked coldly at these rebellious Di people who were already red-eyed, as well as Dou Mao who was filled with regrets. A sneer appeared on his lips, he raised his hand and waved it gently and deftly: "Kill! Leave no one alive!"
