"For thousands of years, the Dingling people have been enslaved, first by the Huns, and now it's the Di people's turn, who have driven us away from our hometown. Are we born to be untouchables and inferior to others?"
There was a trace of pathos in Zhai Bin's rich voice. These words were not only a speech to the clan members, but they were also a tragic question from heaven!
For a long time, the Ding Ling people have always been in a state of oppression. Not only the Han people have always regarded them as barbarians, but also the Huns, Xianbei, Qiang and Di people, including the Jie people who had been exterminated by Ran Min, also looked down upon the Ding Ling.
people
The most obvious example is that when the results of the Battle of Feishui were first reported back to the Central Plains, war smoke was still billowing, and powerful powers from all over the country rebelled one after another, including the Murong family, who raised rebel flags in various places.
Regarding this rare opportunity, Zhai Bin naturally did not want to miss it, so he took the opportunity to declare rebellion. However, the tragedy was that Fu Jian in Guanzhong did not take himself seriously at all, and did not even bother to defend himself at first. This made the whole Ding Ling
Everyone feels great humiliation
In order to prove their strength to them, as a last resort, Ding Ling decided to pretend to attack Luoyang at that time, pretending to join forces with the Jin Northern Expeditionary Army. Since that was a critical moment, Fu Jian was also forced to do
Instead of compromising, he chose to promote Zhai Bin to a higher position in an attempt to temporarily stabilize Ding Lingren.
Later, due to Fu Hong's outstanding performance, he quickly defeated the Northern Expedition of the Jin Army in a short period of time. Zhai Bin saw that it was difficult to overthrow the Qin Empire in a short period of time, so he had to change his strategy and chose to tolerate it temporarily, so he accepted it again.
Recruitment
Unexpectedly, when Zhai Bin decided to swallow his anger, Fu Hong, who was free, chose to start purging the Ding Ling people. There was no way around it. From Fu Hong's point of view, the Ding Ling people were unquestionable traitors.
Although they were forced by the situation and did not cause a lot of losses, they also caused a very bad impact.
The betrayer cannot be forgiven, otherwise wouldn't it be unfair to the loyal?
And Zhai Bin chose to fight at this time, because at this moment, the Qin Empire was at its weakest. If we don't take advantage of it now, there will be no chance in the future!
And just now, Zhai Bin's speech with a sad tone and his lonely look also greatly aroused the sadness of the majority of Dingling people!
The Ding Ling people are all convinced by their leader Zhai Bin, but they know better that over the years, Zhai Bin has lowered his head many times for the benefit of the entire Ding Ling people, choosing to swallow his anger and compromise. It can be said that
Suffered all humiliation
When tribal leaders are humiliated, they themselves are humiliated. In many cases, it is even more uncomfortable than being humiliated themselves! In their hearts, they have long wanted to find a chance to give Zhai Bin justice!
Zhai Bin saw that the eyes of many people below were already burning. He took the opportunity to say: "Brothers! Our ancestor Di Li is from the Celestial Clan, the most noble race in the world! And today, I, Zhai Bin,
I will lead you to restore the honor of the Ding Ling Clan, capture Luoyang, eliminate all demons and beasts, and establish a kingdom of good. Ahura, the God of Light, protects us, and the holy fire will never be extinguished!"
Thunderous roars rang out everywhere: "Ahura! Ahura! Ahura! Fire! Fire! Fire!"
"Are you willing to fight to the end for the God of Light?"
"willing!"
Liu Bobo looked at the fanatical Ding Ling people silently and didn't say a word for a long time.
war begins
Ten thousand fanatical Ding Ling people rushed to Luoyang like crazy, attacking the city and plundering territory along the way. People of all ethnic groups responded one after another.
Fortunately, Fu Hong had already received the news when Ding Ling met for the fourth time, because Wei Bin's intelligence organization still maintained good operation in this troubled time.
However, the problem is not here. It is not difficult to make correct decisions after getting accurate information. The difficulty is that it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.
Fu Hong hardly has many soldiers left!
His younger brother Fu Rui took away almost all the elites of the Great Qin Empire. Coincidentally, they had just passed Luoyang a few days ago. Moreover, in order to strengthen Fu Rui's military strength and express his trust in Fu Rui, Fu Hong almost
The new army he brought out by himself was also handed over to Fu Rui
To be fair, although the Ding Ling people are powerful, they are definitely not as good as Fu Rui's army in terms of numbers and combat effectiveness.
If Fu Rui's army turns back quickly, the Ding Ling people will definitely not be able to defeat them.
But the problem is that Fu Rui's army is going to intercept Liu Yu. Although Liu Yu's main force continues to go north to attack Murong Chong, the Great Qin Empire does not have the capital to watch the fire from the other side. It is simple. This land is originally the Great Qin Empire.
land, they are equivalent to
Fighting on his own land. Moreover, Liu Yu also sent a partial division to the west along Huainan. If Liu Yu's group is allowed to take root in the Huaihe and Huaihe areas, it will be difficult for the Qin Empire to remain peaceful if it does not maintain a strong military group in the Guandong region and wants to garrison it.
That's also impossible to do in Guanzhong.
Originally, in order to maintain a base, Fu Hong still recruited about 15,000 elite troops, and through temporary recruitment, he also expanded the army to 30,000 people, which was barely enough for the Guanzhong area.
According to the comparison of combat effectiveness, if Fu Hong chooses the right commander and decides the battle quickly, it is not that Ding Lingren's matter is impossible to deal with, but unfortunately, Yao Chang rebelled again a few days ago, and this army can only barely guarantee the safety of the troops around Chang'an.
The security is not enough even to annihilate Yao Chang. How can we find people to suppress Ding Ling?
Just when Fu Hong was in a state of despair, the wily Wei Bin came up with a good idea. He set his sights on the prisoners imprisoned in Chang'an Sky Prison.
In fact, in ancient times, it was easy to kill people, and it was really worthless to let people die. However, it was very difficult to kill people legally.
The so-called legal killing means that it is in line with the law, in line with conventions, and in line with morality. It is really troublesome to use state machinery to punish a person.
The reason is very simple. It is said that human life is at stake. Therefore, local officials do not have the power to kill, and ordinary officials in the central government are useless. Only the monarch can convict people.
Here, for all the death row prisoners at that time, only Fu Jian had the final say. Moreover, in order to show his benevolent government, as long as the case was handled by the judicial organs, it had to be repeatedly checked, the files were checked, and the witnesses were investigated, although unjust, false and wrong cases were definitely inevitable.
Yes, but it does result in lower efficiency. Many people are backlogged in cells, waiting for results.
Now, there are nearly 30,000 people imprisoned in Chang'an Prison. These people were arrested for committing crimes in this era. Most of them are brave and ruthless people, although they are not as good as Zhang Han's time six hundred years ago.
Mobilizing 300,000 Lishan prisoners is an exaggeration, but it is also a quite powerful force.
It just so happened that at this time, the prison was still holding the general Mao Dang of Wupinghou Zhenjun who had been mistakenly thought to be killed in battle, but actually escaped. At first, because he thought Mao Dang had died for his country, Fu Jian personally presided over his funeral, but afterwards
But when he found out that Mao Dang had escaped, Fu Jian was so angry that he sent Mao to prison and said he would kill him.
It's a good thing that Fu Jian didn't kill anyone at that time. Otherwise, Fu Hong really wouldn't be able to find a general to accept him now. After all, it's easy to get a thousand troops, but hard to find a general.
However, when it came to a critical moment, Fu Hong still chose his younger brother, Pingyuan Gong and Yuzhou Mu Fu Hui, as the commander-in-chief, and Mao Dang as the deputy commander-in-chief, and ordered them to march eastward at full speed to attack Ding Ling! Although Mao Dang had just come out of prison,
He was not lenient at all when fighting the battle. He personally led the army and marched day and night. Finally, he stopped the Ding Ling people before they captured Luoyang. The two armies met at Lingyuntai.
After all, they are heroes in hundreds of battles. Although more than half of them are actually released desperadoes, the prince has already signed a blood letter, swearing to heaven and earth. As long as they win this battle, they will be pardoned regardless of their past crimes. This naturally makes them
willing to die
In addition, there are still many veterans in the army, and Mao Dang is a veteran in leading troops. The old and new are integrated and trained as they go. These days, this army is no longer a ragtag group at the beginning, but has considerable combat effectiveness. Mao Dang believes that
, as long as after winning a few wars, this army will be tempered into a new elite!
The Qin army's 20,000 infantry and cavalry formed a formation on Lingyuntai. The shield soldiers were in front, the crossbowmen were hiding behind them, the infantry in the center was like a forest of spears and halberds, and the 3,000 armored heavy cavalry were separated to the left and right, pressing behind the formation.
Wearing a Maodang bronze helmet and iron armor, carrying an iron spear across the saddle bridge, surrounded by a group of cavalry with black flags on their backs, looking up to the opposite side, there was a dense crowd of Dingling people gathered in the open field, scattered here and there.
Green flags waved in the ranks from time to time, and hundreds of cavalry were surrounded by dense infantry.
Among them, it is a bit far-fetched to say that they are soldiers. Most of the Dingling people do not have Kaijia. The cavalry wears cloth robes and sheepskin trousers. The infantry has disheveled hair and bare arms. They hold knives, spears, steel forks, axes, and some even hold hoes.
The wooden sticks, noisy and roaring, are approaching step by step
"Hahaha┄┄, a group of slaves, do you also want to rebel?" Mao Dang laughed on his back, with a cruel and fierce light in his eyes, and the soldiers behind him also laughed in unison, and their morale was boosted for a while.
And Mao Dang secretly thought: "I was defeated in the Feishui War, and I still feel unhappy. Murong Chong, that prostitute, dared to go wild on his head. Fortunately, there is a group of savages for me to slaughter to my heart's content! This time I can finally get rid of a bird."
Qi, it can be considered as atonement for one's sins."
Thinking of this, Mao Dang raised his spear and shouted at the Qin soldiers around him: "Generals of Qin, open your eyes, cut off the heads of these barbarians like pigs and dogs one by one, and pile them in the tomb.
On the cloud platform, punish those slaves who dare to rebel!" "Hey! Hey! Hey!" Qin Bing shouted, waving the weapons in their hands, and the sharp swords and spears in the formation came and went.
