Chapter 1412 Gathering in the wilderness
The three-color Western Conquest flag fluttered high above thousands of felt hats and red cherry pockets. .
Under the Zhengxi Battle Banner, a strong whirlwind was blowing from Yinshan, and the troops led by Zhao Yun seemed to be blowing up the entire northern part of Shuofang and the Wuyuan area.
Here was once the land of the Han family. Regarding the obsession with the land, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was similar to the vast majority of landowners, Lao Cai. The treasure land was talked about by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for an unknown period of time.
Later, after it was really taken into the hands of the Han family, they immediately launched a nationwide support for the frontier activities, er, the population was relocated to Shuofang and other places to fill up places, and some of these people followed the Han family during the subsequent degradation of the power of the Han family. The official government curled up inside, and some of them silently put on leather robes, becoming the handsome men among the Hu people''s forces.
Since the expedition to the west, in just a few years, they have repeatedly defeated the Xianbei forces that were originally near Shuofang Wuyuan, and almost wiped out all the Xianbei troops. These surviving heroes, regardless of their strength, are afraid of the front of the West, and gradually broke away from the previous vassal relationship with Xianbei. They are no longer as obedient and humble as they were with Xianbei before. It seems that at least Fei Qian, General of Zhengxi, can compete with Bu Dugen, the king of Xianbei.
In the fringes of Han territory like Shuofang Wuyuan, whoever owns a powerful iron cavalry can truly hold the authority to control the place. This time Zhao Yun led the Southern Xiongnu all the way from west to east. Wherever they passed, the handsome men in Shuofang and Wuyuan changed into the clothes of the Han family and bowed down under Zhengxi''s flag.
Shame?
Sorry, shame is worse than a fart in front of survival.
After the general conquered Yinshan, Feiqian''s military power has already deterred these powerful people living in the frontier. However, the heroes in these places still prefer the Xianbei people, because after all, the Xianbei people are closer to them, and they have surrendered to them for several generations, so it is difficult to turn around in a short time.
Who would have expected that when the Xianbei people in Yinshan were marching in large numbers, Fei Qian, the general who conquered the west, would not be afraid at all. Before fully reacting, Xianbei''s soldiers and horses had already been defeated, defeated, scattered, and captured, and almost wiped out the forces of the Yinshan Xianbei people, and the entire situation was determined in one fell swoop!
The Xianbei people’s original reputation of being invincible in the desert was like a broken water bag under the flag of Zhengxi Tricolor, which could not be mended. It immediately shook the border, and everyone looked sideways. Therefore, even though Zhao Yun was not Fei Qian, the general of Zhengxi, but just a commander in chief of the partial army, he was still warmly welcomed by these guys who were swinging around the border in search of a way to survive.
Therefore, some strange phenomena have occurred these days. As Zhao Yun led the troops forward, many people and horses with weapons and livestock automatically waited on the ground on the road of the army. After Zhao Yun''s forward arrived, first After enshrining a part of the cattle, sheep and livestock labor force, he expressed his willingness to follow the banner...
Compared with other places, Shuofang and other border areas of the Han family are places where horses can go out. These places are handsome, even if they only sit in a fortress, they can bring out dozens of good horses, so Zhao Yun did not refuse these people''s overtures , These people were merged with the Huns into the recruitment army, and they were used as auxiliary troops, which could also increase their momentum.
Thanks to the support of these local snakes, Zhao Yun came with his troops and encountered no difficulties along the way. Even some marching losses on the road were reduced a lot because of the supplements, and some places were even more handsome. They will send their chefs and manpower to take care of Zhao Yun''s headquarters as comfortably as possible, just to leave a good impression on Zhao Yun...
Therefore, Zhao Yun''s journey to the east was smoother than expected. Even when he camped at night, these handsome men would burn the bonfire vigorously in advance, gathered a good place to leeward for the cavalry, and even prepared some food. Come on, just like serving the Xianbei people in the past, serve the soldiers who are now conquering the West.
The tents where the Zhengxi cavalry stayed overnight are now carried by these Haoyou disciples who are following behind with oxen and horses. When the Zhengxi cavalry stopped to rest, these guys were busy helping to build the tent, and by the way, they also put the tent on the back of the tent. The ground in the interior was warm, so these cavalrymen were invited to go in and rest.
Zhao Yun saw it in his eyes, but only restrained his soldiers from doing bullying things. As for the others, most of them acquiesced. Whether it is Hu people or Han people, if they want to survive on the border, in addition to being good at steering against the wind, obeying the strong has become a consensus in their bones. After a few games, the army is now marching eastward, how can it be so convenient now?
In the darkness of night, clumps of bonfires illuminate the surrounding fields brightly.
The dry flat land in the middle is naturally the resting place for the cavalry who conquered the west. These cavalry who conquered the west include Bingzhou people, Xiliang people, and even some Qiang people who followed Feiqian in the early days. These originally belonged to different places. Even though there were some estrangements in the past, after several **** battles, they gradually merged together. Now they are sitting together affectionately and informally, talking and laughing in low voices around the campfire, or wiping their weapons. , or tidy up and take care of big partners.
Among these soldiers who conquered the west, the most talked about is naturally the upcoming battle, but inside and out, there is not much fear, but it is a bit more calculated. After such a big battle, can they What a reward to get...
The scouts have been dispatched, and some handsome young men volunteered to act as guides, assisted by young Haoyou who are familiar with the local terrain. The safety of the entire army''s night camp is naturally relatively safe.
In the extreme distance, several groups of flames suddenly appeared, rising and falling towards Zhao Yun.
Without Zhao Yun''s Zhengxi cavalry standing up to detect, the local Haoyou disciples in the surrounding areas have already turned on their horses. When these strong and powerful disciples are showing off their bravery with a smile on their faces, they mount their horses in a very chic and neat manner, whistling Responding to that, he headed towards the direction where the flames were flickering.
The sound in the distance has grown louder at this time, and more torches jumped out in the dark night, surging towards here.
There are also scout rangers on this side, leading hundreds of horsemen to meet them, and as soon as they meet the torches rushing over there, more noises are made in the night. The sound of people shouting and neighing together was not like encountering an enemy, but the cheering sound of encountering an acquaintance.
Zhao Yun frowned slightly, before Zhao Yun could say anything, Zuo Jin Haoshuai, who was beside him with a smile on his face, hurriedly yelled at him, asking his subordinates to report the situation quickly, but before they could rush out a few steps, they went outside The scout had already galloped back, got off his horse when he got to the left, and ran over quickly.
With beads of sweat on their faces, the scouts shone brightly under the reflection of the bonfire, but their expressions did not look like they were nervous before the battle, but with some excitement, they came to Zhao Yun and handed over their hands to report: "Report General Zhao! Those who came were Youzhou Inspector Liu and Liu Shijun! With Brother Xianyu and Wuhuan men and horses, about a thousand riders! Come and listen to the general!"
After Zhao Yun heard this, the expression on his face still didn''t change much. On the contrary, the disciples of Haoyou who followed all the way were in an uproar, and then whispered to each other to express surprise and joy, and they couldn''t help feeling a little more awe and admiration in their hearts. .
Even the Wuhuan people have come to join Zhengxi. It seems that in the desert, the Xianbei people''s airs have fallen!
The eyes of these Haoyou disciples couldn''t help but become eager. It seems that it is really the right time for me to come this time!
While speaking, the flames in the distance stopped, and more than a dozen riders separated out, followed Zhengxi''s scouts, and came towards Zhao Yun.
Only then did Zhao Yun let go of his vigilance a little bit, and began to believe that this was a real reinforcement, but he couldn''t help feeling a little doubt in his heart. Of course, he also had some admiration. Is it working?
………………
Regardless of how Zhao Yun and Liu He joined together, how they marched eastward together, this huge wave of momentum alone has already alarmed the Budugen and others of the Xianbei tribe north of Yanmen, and hurriedly ordered The leaders of all the surrounding tribes were called together to discuss and discuss.
Last winter, Bu Dugen asked Fu Luohan to go south with Ke Bineng to plunder, but not only failed to plunder sufficient supplies, but also fled back with broken soldiers and horses, which caused Bu Dugen''s suspicion in the hearts of Xianbei people. The prestige has dropped a lot.
Although it is said that Budugen is the "orthodox" successor who inherited the title of King Xianbei, strictly speaking, Budugen''s internal and external struggles are quite sloppy, and it is okay to rely on the title of King to bluff people. When the Huns and even the Wuhuan people came together, I couldn''t help feeling a little flustered...
Zhengxi, Zhengxi, **** Zhengxi...
Before the death of Tuoba Xiaowang, the entire Yinshan Xianbei army was wiped out!
When he heard Zhengxi''s men and horses coming towards Yanmen, this incident came to Budugen''s mind, and although this incident brought anger, it was more fear. Budugen even had a This kind of hallucination, saw when Tuoba Xiaowang died, the corpses of Xianbei people all over the field, the blood flowing on the ground like a river, and the battle flag flying in the black smoke of the war!
Although there were factors such as Tuoba Xiaowang''s underestimation of the enemy, or improper deployment of soldiers and horses that led to the disastrous defeat, but during the battle with the Zhengxi cavalry, the cavalry of the Xianbei people really showed their ability to eat milk. Yes, the raid, the field battle, the array, the battle, and finally came to a conclusion, it would be too bad to confront the cavalry of Zhengxi...
The weapons of Zhengxi soldiers are better than Xianbei people, and their armor is also better than Xianbei people. Xianbei people cut a knife, and Zhengxi soldiers have one more mark on their armor, which will surely break two pieces of iron. Fly!
It is definitely not acceptable to carry it head-on...
Other Xianbei people may not know the history of the desert, but as the king of Xianbei, Budugen knows very well how many tribes have risen and how many tribes have perished on this desert grassland.
Guifang, 猃狁, Shanrong, Xiongnu, Lingding, etc., and now Xianbei, how many peoples in the desert have risen and fallen, but only the Han in the south has lasted for three or four hundred years to this day!
To face such a big guy, although Budugen spoke tough, but deep down he did not believe that his tribe could conquer such a country, so when General Zhengxi''s command swept over with great momentum, Budugen The first reaction in Gen''s heart is to avoid the edge first...
Anyway, the barbarians in the desert before, whether it was the Huns before or the king of Maodun in Xianbei, all did this. They traded space for time, and then rushed out to harvest when the Han people were exhausted. But what Bu Dugen was worried about was that his prestige was not very high in the first place, but now that Zhengxi came and avoided his edge, his subordinates would rush away, and some people would even defect directly to Ke Bineng''s side In the end, the situation became more and more out of hand.
what to do?
Looking at the mess in the big tent, Bu Dugen couldn''t help feeling angry, and shouted angrily: "Shut up! Look at you now! Before the Han people arrived, you were in a panic. It’s like this! If the real Han people arrive, they won’t even be able to pick up a knife!”
"Your Majesty...it''s not that we''re afraid..." Fu Luohan said, with a wound on his face twisted from the previous battle, "It''s because we are worried that after we fight with the Han people, we will be killed by that kid Ke Bineng." Picked up a bargain..."
"That''s right, that''s right!" The tribal leader on the side also echoed, "Our son Lang and the Han people are done fighting, isn''t it for that kid Ke Bineng to block the knife?"
Everyone like the big tent is talking in a hurry, basically they all mean the same thing, it is best to let Kebi Neng go first for desperate things, it is too bad to fight the Han people like this, it is not worth it...
However, there is an obvious problem in front of him. Ke Bineng obviously hopes that Budugen will fight the Han people first. The loss will naturally be done by others, and the cheap ones will come by themselves. consistent.
At this moment, Yan Rou, who was behind Fu Luo Han, straightened her waist, and said loudly, "Perhaps... Isn''t Zheng Xi coming for the king this time?"
"Bastard! In front of the king, you don''t have the right to speak!" Fu Luohan scolded, raising his palm to hit Yan Rou.
"Well..." Bu Dugen stretched out his hand to stop Fu Luohan''s move, "You might as well listen to what he has to say..."
