The grievances between the Han people and the Northern Yi have been going on for a long time, and they are still ongoing.
The Beiyi Kingdom is located to the north of Shenghan, sandwiched between the Black Forest and the Tarta Wasteland. After the Shenghan Empire leaves Longmen Pass in the east, it is the territory that the Beiyi, Mohe and Shenghan people have been fighting for all year round. Shenghan once He built the city of Xinyefu and was later attacked by the Northern Yi.
The Mohe people in the easternmost part are a fishing and hunting people. Although they are capable of conquering and warlike, their population is sparse. Therefore, the eight tribes of Mohe only relieve the scabies and not threaten their lives to the Holy Han. The princes of the Holy Han Dynasty only regarded the eight tribes of Mohe as a buffer against the northern Yi people. land.
The Beiyi people in the north are different. The Beiyi country is said to be divided into three parts: mountains, three parts water, three parts fields and one part swamp. Snow can be seen for six months in December every year. Hundreds of years ago, the Beiyi people humbly prayed to The Central Plains dynasty studied culture and knowledge, and because there were several gold and silver mines in the Beiyi Kingdom, it was extremely rich and abundant despite being in a cold and harsh area.
After the Beiyi Kingdom became rich for hundreds of years, the gold and silver mines ran out and the country became impoverished. However, the Beiyi people believed that the reason for the poverty of the Beiyi Kingdom was caused by the profiteers of the Han people in the Central Plains. Twenty-nine years ago, a huge plague occurred in the Holy Han Empire, and many people were affected. Emperor Dao died as a result, and Emperor Taiqian succeeded him as emperor.
In the same year, Beiyi general Pu Wangjing overthrew the Li family of Beiyi and ascended the throne. He confiscated all the property of Han merchants in the country to fill the national treasury. However, this caused misunderstanding among the people in Beiyi, and the people in Beiyi took up arms to massacre the Han people in the country. The surviving royal family of the Li family in Northern Yi and the Han people fled back to the Central Plains, begging the higher powers to uphold justice and avenge the people.
At that time, the Holy Han Kingdom was exhausted. In order to divert domestic emotions and conflicts, Emperor Taiqian sent 200,000 troops out of Longmen Pass to expedition to the Beiyi Kingdom.
However, the Han army failed in three expeditions. The first time it was defeated by the cold weather, the Han army had to withdraw its troops and return to the court. Only tens of thousands of people froze to death and suffered frostbite. The second time they were defeated by the general, they died violently, but it is said that they were killed by Beiyi assassins. , it is still an unsolved case so far; but the third time it was defeated by Mohe's sneak attack, so that the Xuanwu Army on the expedition was blocked and retreated, and the Xuanwu Army was completely destroyed by the enemy from both sides.
The failure of the third expedition led to a sharp decline in the morale of the Forbidden Army of the Holy Han Empire in the past fifteen years.
The Eight Tribes of Mohe, the Beiyi Kingdom and the Holy Han Dynasty originally formed a three-legged alliance in the Guandong region east of Longmen Pass. However, the increasing taxes and serious land annexation of the Central Plains Dynasty forced the people to flee to the Guandong region to clear forests and reclaim land for farming. The Mohe people They feared the forest and even cut down one tree before planting another, let alone destroying the forest for reclamation, so they often hunted the Han people. The Han people who dared to go out of Longmen Pass were brave people, so they naturally rose up to resist. They even got the Dragon Guard of Longmen Pass. The secret support of the Han people further intensified the fierce vendetta between the Han people and the Mohe people.
When the Xuanwu Army of the Holy Han Dynasty attacked the Northern Yi, the Mohe people secretly joined forces with the Beiyi and used black arrows to sneak attack the Han Army's grain team and then took the opportunity to attack Longmen Pass, causing heavy losses to the Long Guard. The Beiyi army took the opportunity to surround the Han Army's Xuanwu Army in the birch tree. On the banks of the river, sweet words tricked the Xuanwu Legion into relaxing their vigilance. Then the army attacked the camp and killed 120,000 Han troops by the Huashhu River. The Huashhu River was almost blocked by the corpses of Han soldiers. Every few hundred steps from the Huashu River to Longmen Pass , the Beiyi people hung the corpses of Han soldiers upside down to humiliate the Holy Han Empire. From then on, there was no possibility of peace between the Beiyi and the Holy Han Empire.
The Dragon Guards of Longmen Pass were furious and sent troops out of Longmen Pass to collect the corpses, but they were ambushed by the Beiyi Army. The Beiyi Army broke into Xinyefu and massacred the Han people outside the pass, so that the corpses of the people outside the pass were scattered all over the fields.
This time Wuhuan invited all the ministries in the world to crusade against the Holy Han and "bring justice" to the Tartar Khanate. The Beiyi Kingdom was the first to respond and sent an army of 100,000 men into the wilderness of northern Saibei to "take over" the original territory in a friendly manner.
The disputed Challe Lake is at the border between the Tartar Khanate and the Beiyi Kingdom.
The Beiyi people who entered the Saibei wasteland committed all kinds of crimes, burning, killing and looting, turning the entire wasteland upside down. The Tartar people all hated them. However, the Tartar Khan King Li Gaotu wanted to seek something from the Beiyi people, so he could only swallow his anger and let everything go.
for.
The smell of dog meat and alcohol wafted in the air. Zhang Xiaowu closed his nose and narrowed his eyes, thinking something about it. He continued to hide behind a large tree with a diameter as wide as his waist, slowly waiting for the other person to lower his vigilance and open his ears.
There was the noise of Beiyi people drinking and bragging around the campfire.
Three hundred years ago, the Northern Yi Dynasty of the Li family was established. They fully studied the Holy Han Dynasty, spoke Chinese in Chinese, and even the army imitated the Holy Han military system. The same regiments were arranged in groups. The Holy Han scout cavalry moved in units.
When the infantry moves, they move in units of capital troops. When marching and camping in this barren mountain and wilderness, only Beiyi scouts can do it.
These Beiyi scouts should have snatched two dogs from the Tartar herdsmen, but I don’t know if they will kill the Tartar herders. After all, they often do this kind of thing. Zhang Xiaowu suspected that they were the ones who killed the herders earlier.
Even the dog meat they eat is the hounds of herdsmen.
Speaking of which, the Tartars are also pitiful. During the war, weak tribes and countries can only be reduced to tools and targets of vent for powerful countries. The Tartars are also enduring unprecedented suffering.
A stalwart Beiyi scout was skillfully turning and roasting dog meat on the bonfire. His skills were extraordinary, and the dog meat was dripping with oil and exuding aroma. The others were drinking and bragging loudly. Beiyi people liked noise and excitement.
At this time, their attention was all on the delicious dog meat and the skillful movements of the chef and soldiers, and they did not notice anything around them. Maybe they had ignored the surroundings for a long time. The scout "chef" separated a piece of meat with a dagger.
Pay filial piety to the scout corps commander. Beiyi has strict order among superiors and subordinates, and even the corps commander is very official.
The scout team leader took a bite of dog meat, stretched out his thumb, squinted his eyes and praised: "Axi!"
The chef and soldier smiled obsequiously, then turned around and continued to grill the meat. The others came up and cut the meat themselves. The sound of laughter and fighting was endless. It was obvious that they were very relaxed now. After annihilating the Han army in Tucheng
, there are no organized Han troops in the eastern grasslands, and some are just deserters, so there is nothing to fear.
During the day, they slaughtered three wounded soldiers of the Han army. In their opinion, the eastern wasteland was already within their grasp, so there was no need to worry. So they ate roasted dog meat with confidence and boldness, even losing the vigilance that a scout should have. Of course, they
They were not scouts originally, but there were too few scouts. They, veterans who had been in the army for more than three years, became scouts.
"Asi! Nomu Masi!" A Beiyi man was so happy that he sang: "Jindarai fruit Jindalei fruit..."
"Eat, drink, jump, dance, this is your last carnival." Zhang Xiaowu stared at them, gritted his teeth and sneered. He hid behind the tree and patiently waited for the opportunity. He must kill these five tonight.
A Beiyi scout, because the Beiyi scouts are all cavalry, once they find any trace of themselves, two legs will definitely not be able to run as fast as four legs.
Nowadays, the wilderness is almost uninhabited. The Tartar herdsmen either fled to the west, were plundered to the north, or even fled south into Han territory to protect themselves. Therefore, Zhang Xiaowu judged that these Beiyi people should relax their vigilance, and he was more confident.
He tightened his grip on the spear and dagger and tried not to make any noise, for fear that the slightest noise would alert the other party.
After waiting for a while, Zhang Xiaowu once again took a look at the group of Beiyi people who were drinking wine and staring at the dog meat. Sure enough, he saw that they were getting more and more relaxed. The Beiyi people who were good at singing and dancing actually sang and danced around the bonfire - all of them
Too drunk.
The first dog was eaten up, and soon most of the second dog was eaten. The Beiyi people drank a lot of shochu, and then they started to set up a simple tent. Several people talked and laughed loudly, and after the tent was set up, they started to
He pitched his tent and fell asleep soundly.
Soon, after the snoring came from the tent, Zhang Xiaowu did not go there. He was waiting for time. There was a slight light in the sky. It should be Yinchu time. In another world, it would be about four o'clock in the morning. At this time
The Beiyi man was sleeping soundly. He then got up and walked over, picked up the remaining fire, and lit fires everywhere in the tent.
The Beiyi people slept so hard that they woke up in a hurry after the fire started. Zhang Xiaowu did not forget to add more firewood and grass to the tent. With the north wind, the fire became bigger and bigger. Zhang Xiaowu smiled cruelly and cursed:
"Come out, come out. I'll burn you bastards to death. I'll let you kill my brother. I'll let you force my wife to jump into the river and commit suicide. I'll turn you all into roast pigs!"
