The origin of the name of Qiushui River, which connects Guanqiang and Danhan Mountains, is unknown now. However, Zhao Yun somewhat stubbornly believes that it may be because while this river connects regions, it also accumulates
There is too much hatred between the two races of the Central Plains and the grassland.
The Hu people couldn't survive on the grasslands, so they came to the Central Plains to plunder. The Han people were unwilling to be humiliated, built city gates, and went out to fight back. Since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, this fateful cycle has continued over and over again, with countless blood and hatred followed.
And born.
How to stop this cruel reincarnation? Under Wang Yu's influence, Zhao Yun and his colleagues have long reached a consensus that only dead barbarians are good barbarians. Once all the barbarians are dead, there will naturally be no more attacks.
They come to the border to cause nuisance in the name of hatred or other reasons. By then, Qiu Shuihe may be able to change its name to a new one.
Zhao Yun is not a philosopher, and the above thoughts are just occasional emotions during the march.
At this moment, ten days have passed since the first raid in Macheng. If I remember correctly, the New Year should have passed. It is now the fifth year of Chuping of the Han Dynasty, or the second year of Kaiyuan of the New Han Dynasty.
In these ten days, Zhao Yun led his brothers along both sides of the Qiushui River, hunting their prey like leopards. The whereabouts of the nomadic people are unpredictable, but there are also rules. They live by the water, as long as they can grasp the general
In the direction of the river, if you rush forward along the river, you will definitely be able to pounce on it.
The location of the second tribe was on the west bank of the Qiushui River north of Ma City. Until he saw the battle flag of the Gale Riders, the leader of this tribe was still wondering if there was any misunderstanding.
According to common sense, after Xianbei's army invaded Shanggu and Daijun, there should be no more enemies in this area, and the battle should take place between tribes.
The territory around Macheng was already very enviable, but Yi Bihong had an extraordinary status. He took the lead again. The others thought that they would be able to go south to herd horses soon anyway, so there was no need to conflict with Yi Bihong for the comfort of the winter.
.
However, there are always similarities and differences in people's thoughts. If any stupid young man can't think of it, it is not impossible to have to fight with Yi Bihong.
Therefore, the second tribe that was defeated by Zhao Yun was not prepared for the battle. The battle process was similar to the first battle. The Xianbei people were crushed instantly without even sending out a warning signal.
Then, the third, fourth... three days before launching the raid, the Gale Cavalry divided into two groups and rushed non-stop to the upper reaches of the Qiu Shui River, taking advantage of surprise to the extreme.
The tribes they met along the way were crushed like rotten oranges. They couldn't avoid or stop them. They couldn't even figure out where the enemies came from. Likewise, no one could predict whose turn it would be to suffer disaster next.
.
The tribes stationed in the Danhan Mountain area are all direct relatives of the major leaders. For the purpose of mutual defense, the leaders did not transfer all the men in the tribe. In addition, the old and weak women in the tribe also
They can ride horses and wield swords. So although these tribes are behind, they are not undefended.
However, these defensive forces were meaningless in front of the cheetah-like Han cavalry.
At the beginning of the encounter, they were hit by a hail of arrows, killing and injuring a large number of people. When the troops met in hand-to-hand combat, it was even more one-sided. Regardless of weapons and equipment, or personal combat power, the Han army was too far ahead and lost the greatest advantage in numbers.
After relying on the enemy, Hu Qi showed nothing but embarrassment on the battlefield.
In the first three days alone, as many as ten tribes were wiped out by Zhao Yun!
The tribes gathered in Qishui River were far denser than the tribes entering the upper valley. They originally planned to wait until the war situation stabilized before heading south in large numbers. They never expected that Zhao Yun would attack them over a long distance, which made it easier for the latter to find their target.
.
In the next seven days, as the news spread, some tribes closer to the river bank fled one after another. The efficiency of finding targets was reduced a lot, but similar results to the previous ones were recorded. The adults and children woke up from the dream of going south to herd horses.
The handsome men were so frightened that their courage and liver were trembling, and they could not even sleep peacefully.
Bu Dugen, Kuitou's younger brother who stayed behind at Danhan Mountain, did not dare to neglect. While sending envoys to report to the front line, he summoned all the elders and adults of the tribes who stayed behind to try to launch a counterattack against the Han army.
At this juncture, he no longer cares about the bad blood between each other, regardless of whether it's the Eastern Xianbei or the Western Xianbei, or Qianman, Kuitou. Let's put aside the past grievances for the time being, and let's survive the unreasonable disaster in front of us.
"It's better to retreat! The children have already found out clearly that the battle flag is that of the Qingzhou Gale Cavalry, and the leader is Zhao Yun, the general who held off 20,000 Huns for two days on the bank of the river, one person and one horse! He
One person can withstand 20,000 cavalry. Unless Master Kuitou comes back to rescue us, there is no way to fight, so retreat!"
The person who spoke was Tuoba Neighbor from Xianbei in the west. The name of Xianbei was Rilu Deyan. This man was a contemporary of Tan Shihuai. He single-handedly created the "seven-point countrymen" system, which made the Tuoba tribe grow rapidly.
A veteran figure, this person's status can be said to be of great importance.
"How can we leave?" Upon hearing this, Bu Dugen's face suddenly darkened. Tuoba Lin's old age made him very unhappy: "What are we doing here? Are we here for pilgrimage? No, we are here.
He is the one who coordinates the main force! Now that he is gone, if the commander defeats the Han army and drives south, won’t all the advantages be given to those outsiders?”
He gritted his teeth and said with difficulty: "What if... if there is an eventuality, without our support, when the army retreats, will it have to rely on those on the sidelines to provide supplies? Rilu Deduction, I respect you as the leader of the clan.
"But you can't just rely on your old skills. If you're afraid, just leave by yourself. No one will stop you, but you can't say these things in public that disturb the morale of the army!"
"Am I afraid? When Old Tuoba followed the Great Danyu in the east and west, and the Han army was frightened, you and your elder brother were still nursing! Now you actually dare to point at Old Tuoba's nose and speak, Bu Du
Gen, I want to ask you, whose power are you relying on? Are we really uniting to support your eldest brother to become a great chanyu? Bah, you can only dream!"
Tuoba Lin rolled his eyes, pointed at Bu Dugen's nose and scolded him.
He is senior and Bu Dugen has a distinguished status. The two of them were arguing so fiercely at the beginning of the military meeting. It was difficult for the others to stop them, so they simply took sides and joined the battle group. The Chinese military tent suddenly became more complicated.
The vegetable market is still lively.
The various tribes in Xianbei had deep hatred. At first, everyone was arguing about the issue of fighting and fleeing. It didn't take long for the topic to become a simple attack on each other.
Pu Tou, the elder of the Qianman tribe, scolded Bu Dugen's brothers for their arrogant ambitions. Taking advantage of Qian Man's young age, he occupied the position of the Great Chanyu and held on to it. The reason why Xianbei is today is purely due to the two brothers. Of course Bu Dugen does not
Although he was willing to show weakness, he only said that Qianman was instigated by people like Putou, and that the other party was the culprit for the civil strife in Xianbei.
The butt determines the head. If you rely on lips and tongue, you will never be able to decide the outcome of this position issue. The key lies in who has greater power. Ke Zui of Xianbei in the middle, Queju and the two tribes each help each other, and Putou
Bian added Tuoba Lin, and for a time he had the upper hand in the scene.
On the Xianbei side in the east, the Mijia tribe has always regarded itself as a group of orthodox people. Of course, it is on the side of Budugen. The Queji tribe is greatly influenced by the culture of the Central Plains and believes that the father's position is inherited by the son. Suli has always been on both sides, and wants to
It was impossible for him to make his position clear.
Seeing that the scene was getting more and more chaotic, Murong Minister Lao Murongduo, who had not expressed his position, slapped the table and stood up: "Stop arguing, stop arguing, the Han army has already reached the foot of the mountain, why are you arguing? Keep arguing.
If you go down, are you waiting to have your head cut off by the Han army?"
He pointed at Tuoba Lin and asked: "Rilu deduction, are you confused? Do you know why Zhao Yun's cavalry is named after the wind? It's because he is fast! With so many tribes gathered together,
Can there be no less than 100,000 people who can outrun others? If we run now, it depends on everyone's luck. Whoever gets bitten by him will die!"
In fact, he understood Tuoba Lin's thoughts. The goal of the Han army in this battle was Youzhou, and it was impossible to bite the Xianbei in the west. If Tuoba Lin fled alone, he would probably be targeted by Zhao Yun; if all the tribes got together
However, Zhao Yun would definitely not pursue him to the west, but would have to attack Xianbei in the east and central part first.
Therefore, Tuoba Lin advocated running away because he knew it was the safest way.
Of course, Murong Duo would not break this point openly, as that would only make Tuoba Lin angry and cause other troubles. He only needed to give a hint to calm down those who were making noises.
Sure enough, after listening to his words, Pu Tou was the first to calm down.
Qian Man and Kuitou fought to the death for position, which caused their prestige to be greatly reduced at the same time. Their status was no longer much higher than that of adults like Micah and Queji. After Xu You's reminder, the two of them also
They all realized that their interests were the same, so they joined forces to go south.
If Danhan Mountain is captured by the Han army, the prestige of the two people will definitely be further weakened. If the battle is ultimately lost to the Han army, the two people may be regarded as the culprits by other adults and dedicated to Wang Yu. This is different from them.
The original intention was very different.
"Budugen, you too. All the children at home have gone to war with the generals. Now even if all the ministries unite, how many cavalry can be gathered? Twenty thousand? Ten thousand? Eight thousand... There are only eight thousand warriors, plus
There are tens of thousands of old, weak and strong women, but you want to fight with five thousand Qingzhou elite cavalry? The Han general is Changshan Zhao Zilong!"
With the power of a drink, Murong Duo turned to Bu Dugen again, suppressing the opponent's tough momentum: "If the Great Chanyu fought like you back then, we Xianbei would have been wiped out by the Han army a long time ago.
Now, do you want to be a wolf? Just being able to show your teeth and be ruthless is not enough!"
Bu Dugen was humiliated by the training, but he had no choice but to compare with strength. Murong Duo and Tuoba Lin combined were no match for him, but for eloquence, ten of them were no match for the old fox.
He said angrily: "Elder Murong, it's not about fighting or escaping. Then you can tell me what to do? Is it possible that you just have to wait here to die?"
"Of course not." Murong Duo twitched the corner of his mouth, and a cold smile appeared on his wrinkled face: "Then Zhao Zilong kills people on sight, and his methods are very cruel. There is no reason to argue with him, so we can only fight.
, let him suffer a big loss severely! But I have already said how to fight, and I have thought of a way, why don’t we all discuss it together? "
