From the map, the symbol marking Danhan Mountain almost overlaps with the boundary of Daijun. However, only by walking on this path in person can you truly understand what it means to be so close to each other. *Literature Museum*
After crossing the Sanggan River, there is no official road anymore, there are only mountains, one after another, endlessly. People and horses slowly become numb, and they can't tell where they are.
"Look, the Great Wall!" Tian Yu suddenly shouted from behind, so frightened that Qin Feng almost fell off his horse.
Turning his head sideways, he followed the opponent's fingers and saw a silver-white giant dragon stretching for thousands of miles across the mountains on the left.
The land of Youyan has been surrounded by enemies from all sides since ancient times. The Yan State was almost destroyed by the invasion of foreign tribes. It was only thanks to the military alliance of Qi State that it respected the king and resisted the foreigners. In view of this, the Yan State is one of the few countries that has both the north and the south. The vassal states of the Great Wall.
What Zhao Yun and others see now is the Northern Great Wall of the Yan State. After being rebuilt by the Qin State, it is completely connected together with the continuous Yanshan Mountains, as if it has come alive.
The long wind blew the giant dragon's body into twists and turns, but the dragon's head was still raised proudly, under the dark clouds in the sky, overlooking the mountains and rivers wrapped in ice and snow.
Even though he was used to seeing mountains and rivers outside the Great Wall, Qin Feng was captivated by the majestic scenery when he saw this scene. It took him a while to come back to his senses and muttered, "It's the Great Wall. Is it being used in such a fuss?"
Tian Yu grabbed Qin Feng, pointed at the city wall, and shouted loudly: "Qin Xiaowei, look carefully, there are people on the city, there are people!"
"Someone..." Qin Feng was stunned, looking blankly at the city wall covered with snowflakes and the completely frozen river bank, looking at the several black shadows moving above, as if he suddenly woke up, and cried out: "How could there be someone?"
His question makes sense.
The Great Wall is the most magnificent fortification in the world. It borders the sea in the east and Qilian in the west, stretching for thousands of miles. Even in later generations, it was known as a wonder of the world. However, as far as Qin Feng knew, there should be no defenders on the wall.
In the early years, there were some, especially in the Tanshihuai era, Tanshihuai set up his royal tent in Danhan Mountain. He showed his ambition for the Central Plains without hesitation. The Great Wall on Yanshan Mountain was to curb his ambition. The first line of defense.
Throughout Tan Shihuai's life, he was unable to realize his ideal of setting up his royal tent outside the border wall and being able to enter the Han territory anytime and anywhere to take whatever he wanted, because he was never able to completely conquer the Great Wall in front of him. In that In that era, when Xianbei invaded, they would go around through other channels.
Later, Tan Shihuai died of illness, Xianbei fell into division, and the threat was far less than before. The Han Dynasty's national power was also declining, and the national treasury was increasingly tight. The big bosses in the DPRK opened their thick palms and collected money from the treasury and the people into their own forts. Scraping, while complaining endlessly, the border troops were cut down again and again.
As the war in the northwest continued, they suggested that the emperor abandon Yongliang and Sanfu; there was trouble in northern Xinjiang. They suggested using the Hu to control the Hu, and using the Huns within to defend the border, so as to reduce the huge expenditure of maintaining the border army.
The first step in disarmament is the troops stationed at the Great Wall. These troops consume a lot of money and are of little use. Keeping them is just a drag. As for whether the Xianbei people will be restless without the Great Wall defense line, the bosses have also considered it very carefully. .
First, the Xianbei people are fighting a civil war. If there are Han troops watching, they will inevitably have some scruples and not have enough fun in the fight. Second, it is because of the Xianbei people's civil strife. The bosses believe that the Xianbei people are too busy to deal with the civil strife.
The invasion south was definitely unintentional and powerless.
Following this guiding ideology, the DPRK and China reached a consensus that the Central Plains was in troubled times and border conflicts should be avoided as much as possible. Empathy and reconciliation were very practical means. Therefore, Liu Yu came out to control Youzhou.
After Liu Yu arrived in Youzhou, he quickly used his suppression of Gongsun Zan to express his goodwill to foreign tribes, and soon became brothers with Xianbei and Wuhuan. Since they became good brothers, it was naturally impossible for them to fall out rashly.
What are the troops stationed on the Great Wall doing?
Of course, occasional cross-border looting is inevitable.
Are they uneducated barbarians? Their mental state is similar to that of a lunatic. It doesn't matter if they go back on their word. As long as they only harm the common people on the frontier, no one will care. Sacrificing a few ordinary people in exchange for national peace is not a sacrifice.
Is the ego the essence of national justice that takes the overall situation into consideration?
In the eyes of superiors, the only power of ordinary people is to make sacrifices. It was precisely because they saw through this meaning that Gongsun Zan and his frontier soldiers scorned and even hated Liu Yu, as well as the politicians and celebrities behind Liu Yu.
Into the bone.
Before launching the long-distance attack, Qin Feng had already found out that the Xianbei invaders came not from Dai County, but from Guangning in Shanggu County and Baitan in Yuyang County.
This is why he always felt that it was impossible for the tribes of the Xianbei royal tent to be in Danhan Mountain. For the same reason, at this moment, there should not be anyone at the border of Daijun.
"Brother Guorang, where are we now?" Zhao Yun did not dwell on these questions. He directly pulled out the map and asked Tian Yu.
Tian Yu put his hands on his eyes, looked out into the wind and snow as hard as he could, and said in a deep voice: "If someone's prediction is correct... the small town in front is Macheng! The river northeast of the city is Qiushui River!" There was a hint of depression in his tone.
Can't help but be excited.
"Ma City? Isn't that here? There are people on the city wall, which means..." Zhao Yun was also excited and ignored the besieged allies; he allowed the Xianbei people to cross the Feihu Road and launch a fierce attack on the friendly forces;
In this era of cruelty, the people of Shanggu County did not care and trudged through the ice and snow for five days and five nights, wasn't it just for this moment?
"The Xianbei people are indeed in Danhan Mountain, and those stationed here in Macheng are their vanguard sentries!" Qin Feng also thought about it.
Macheng is not a very big city, but it is located in an extremely strategic area. During the Tanshihuai era, it served as an important passage connecting Danhan Mountain and Daijun, and was a battleground between the Han army and the Xianbei people.
After it was abandoned, the city wall was demolished by the Xianbei people, leaving a large gap in the Great Wall. Although it was still called a city, it was actually just a village. Only people who wanted to escape the harsh rule of the Central Plains lived there.
Here it is.
These people will not patrol the Great Wall on the mountain. Since there are people on the wall, it means that Gongsun Zan's guess is correct. The Xianbei people really played a trick of building plank roads openly and secretly attacking Chencang, and eliminated those disobedient and incomplete tribes.
On the face of it, he hid all his direct tribes in Danhan Mountain!
Zhao Yun's reaction was very fast. He took the reins of his horse and started running along the flank of his team. After running for more than a hundred steps, he stopped and asked loudly: "Brothers, are you tired?"
It was windy and snowy, and ordinary people's voices could not be heard even dozens of steps away, but Zhao Yun seemed to have just recharged his energy and spoke with great vigor, and his voice quickly spread throughout the army.
"Not tired!" The soldiers who had only been told in advance that they would be led to trouble the herdsmen tribe, but did not know where their final destination was, responded in unison.
Half of the Youzhou people in the Gale Cavalry were from the east of Yuyang, but there were also some who admired the names of Gongsun Zan and Wang Yu and defected from the west of Yuyang.
This time when the Xianbei invaded, the people were in great misfortune wherever they went. Even the places where the Xianbei army failed to reach, because of the arrogance of the Xianbei backers, the places were still in a mess.
Along the way, they witnessed the tragic scenes of many families being destroyed and people killed. No matter where they were from, everyone held a breath in their hearts. It was this breath that supported them in trekking through the ice and snow for five days and nights, but no one complained.
"Now..." Zhao Yun waved his hand and pointed at the gap in the snow-filled Great Wall: "The Xianbei King's tent is right in front of you... Brothers, what do you say?"
"Revenge!" A loud response sounded from the crowd. The cavalry either raised their long swords with ice ridges in their hands, or struggled to pull out their frost-covered swords from their waists, expressing their loyalty with practical actions.
I am not tired and my fighting spirit is high.
"The Hugou has been guarding the kindness of our Han family and repaying kindness with evil for a long time. The Huns have paid the price in the Gaotang War in the past. Now, it is Xianbei's turn! One day, we, the sons of the Han family, will wipe out the Hu family and make it irreversible.
, so that our people of the Han family will no longer suffer from massacre and cruelty, starting from today, from your feet!"
Infected by the emotions of his brothers, Zhao Yun changed his usual calmness and pulled out the Qinghong Sword from behind, and the three-foot green sword reached deep into the sky.
Suddenly, for a moment, the world became quiet. Everyone closed their mouths tightly and looked at the majestic figure. General Zilong in front of him was still a young man, but no one had any doubts because of his age.
Jie Qiao began to walk all the way, and his heroic prowess was forged with the lives and unwillingness of countless enemies.
And his promise was made by another man who was equally young and equally courageous, to fight in the south and in the north to wipe out the dust!
Suddenly, Qin Feng raised his long sword and shouted the word "kill" loudly. Then, the sound of "kill" as the sky and the earth shattered resounded through the wilderness.
"Kill, kill, kill!" The five thousand warriors raised their weapons and shouted loudly.
As if I heard everyone shouting, a crack suddenly opened in the gray sky. Thousands of feet of sunlight shot down from the crack in the clouds, shining on the figure of the white horse and silver gun, illuminating everyone's eyes and illuminating
There was a sneaky figure on the city wall who was running away in panic toward the tower, trying to warn Ma Cheng.
Amidst the cheers, Zhao Yun pointed his sword at the glacier in the distance. The rider waved the flag with all his strength, and the military flag with the word "wind" stirred up a long wind, blowing behind the Qingqi. The speed instantly surged to the extreme, like the wind.
Rushing across the icy river, before the people in the city could respond, a massacre without warning began.
