Chapter 2273 Hard bones, beef bones and pig bones
When the northern part of Youzhou was in chaos, Zhao Yun met the leader of Rouran in Mobei.
The tribes on the grassland have been influenced by the Xiongnu for a long time, so the tribal leaders of Rouran also call themselves kings, nobles, etc.
It''s not that Rouran people don''t want to call themselves Khan, but if they want to be called Khan, they must have "Khan" level strength. And now, Rouran is still very weak and is often pushed to the ground by the Xianbei people. Whenever you rub, rub how you want...
Strictly speaking, Rouran cannot be called "Rouran" now. It''s just because General Fei Qian called it that, so it is called Rouran.
?Then people in Rouran actually think the name Rouran is good...
?Hmm, this causal relationship seems a bit confusing.
?Rouran is actually a miscellaneous person.
Zahu does not mean bastard.
China has also promoted the blood-only theory for a period of time. However, after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, especially after the former Qin Dynasty, after the cry of "princes and generals would rather have their blood", pure blood was no longer popular, and the ability theory gradually It started to rise, but was suppressed back by the joint efforts of clans and small-scale peasant economy.
Generally speaking, the current "bloodline" of the Han Dynasty has been transformed into a "clan", which is actually somewhat similar to the tribes of the Hu people, but the details may be slightly different.
?Hence, Rouran''s Zahu just means that these Rouran "clan" are relatively chaotic...
There is a saying that "a long illness makes a good doctor." Perhaps it is appropriate to put it here in Rouran. It''s not that Rouran people are prone to illness, but because of Rouran''s history, they have been formed into temporary communities time and again by losers from China and the leaders of the grassland alliances.
The earliest body of Rouran is a part of "Ghost Fang".
At the earliest time, Guifang wanted to compete with the Shang Dynasty people in a bone club swinging competition, but the Shang Dynasty people took out bronze vessels...
?Then the ghost man had no choice but to curse and run away. Part of it went to the northeast, and part of it went to the northwest. The one that went to the northeast later evolved into the "Nail Spirit", and then evolved into the "Ding Ling", and finally became the current "Ding Ling". Basically, it has They are two different things from Guifang...
In Beidi during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, two brothers, Chi Di and Bai Di, finally switched to bronze weapons. They wanted to compete with various bosses during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. However, when they arrived at the scene, they discovered that several gangster brothers from the Spring and Autumn Period were... Shamelessly engage in a wheel battle!
??Then the two Beidi brothers were also bruised and swollen. They left the main battlefield cursing and sat on the cold bench with the remaining ghosts of the loser group.
Further back, there were some people from the Huns, wiping their tears, and then crowded on a bench with these people.
??If there were no Fei Qian in history...well, the stirrup, Rouran would be on the bench, and the next loser group player would be ushered in, the Tuoba tribe of Xianbei...
So, if we really think about it, Rouran should be called the "Avengers". Well, that''s right, it''s the "Avengers" who sat on the cold bench and gritted his teeth and cursed in small circles.
??And now Zhao Yun has found the leader of Rouran, just to tell the people of Rouran, how can you be so cowardly? Ding Lingren is a hammer! Go up and **** him! I''ll give you a knife, take it, be brave and use it!
??The leader of Rouran looked at the knife with a sad face, uh, at Zhao Yun, and spoke in Hun language in a weird accent, "General... this matter is not easy to handle..."
Zhao Yun’s smile remained unchanged: “But what’s the difficulty? 』
??The Rouran headman nodded and said: "The Jiankun people...as long as the general can help us deal with the Jiankun people...we will definitely help the general!" 』
??Jiankun?
?Zhao Yun frowned slightly.
?This name is indeed unfamiliar to Zhao Yun. He seems to have heard it somewhere, but he couldn''t remember it for a while.
Zhang He looked at Zhao Yun and said in a low voice: "In the early Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were able to strengthen themselves and conquered Hunyu, Qushe, Dingling, Gekun, Xinli, etc. in the north... Gekun was called Jiankun. ...Then it became the territory of King Youxian of the Xiongnu..."
‘Oh…’ Zhao Yun thought for a moment, glanced at Zhang He, and nodded, ‘I understand. 』
?Gan Feng''s eyes widened and he understood something? Understand what? Can anyone explain this?
Come here! "Zhao Yun ordered, "Get a certain staff! 』
Not long after, a guard came to deliver the scepter of General Pingbei of Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun took the staff and handed it to the headman Rouran, saying, "The leader can lead people to hold this staff and go to Jiankun to call their envoys to see him!" 』
The Rouran-headed man subconsciously took the staff, then was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Zhao Yun, "General..." Although the Rouran-headed man did not finish his words, his expression showed doubts inadvertently, just like this one Can a hairy stick have such magical power? Just let people from Jiankun come?
Zhao Yun smiled slightly and said, "You might as well give it a try." 』
??The Rouran-headed man lowered his head, held the staff in both hands, "Follow the general''s instructions..."
The scepter is actually very interesting to talk about. The physical body of the scepter, the so-called hairy stick, does not have much lethality. If it is used for fighting, it is not as useful as a serious sword or gun, but it represents a power and an authority, so it Its function is far beyond what a hairy stick can summarize.
Rou Rantou left doubtfully.
??Gan Feng sneered twice, "This old guy still wants to trick us into helping him fight... What''s that called a strong bone?" 』
Jiankun. Not a strong bone. ” Zhang He corrected.
"Uh, Jian Kun..." Gan Feng nodded, "Anyway, this old guy is only thinking of good things. I''ll help him beat this Jian... Jian Kun. Then he will turn against him again. Hum, he will change his mind and let us go again." We have beaten down a lot of hard bones, beef bones, pig bones, and so on. Is there any end..."
?Zhang Heba smacked his lips and said, forget it, I won’t correct him anymore. Anyway, what Gan Feng said was correct. If you really follow Rouran''s lead, it will definitely be a big mistake.
Zhao Yun also nodded and stood up, "General Gan is right, that''s it... Let Rouran do what we want... But it can''t be said that we don''t give Rouran any hope... Let''s leave it like this for now. Let’s talk about it after Kun’s people arrive…”
"General, this Jian Gu, uh, Jian Kun..." Gan Feng still didn''t understand, "Will it really come?" 』
When Zhao Yun and others were looking for the leader of Rouran before, the leader of Rouran was pushed and blocked several times but could not escape. Later, Ding Ling came, which was equivalent to pushing Rouran, and the leader of Rouran was pushed to the place. In front of Zhao Yun and others, Jiankun is even more remote, so why would he be willing to travel a long distance to meet him?
"This..." Zhao Yun pointed at Zhang He, "If you ask him, he understands..."
After saying that, Zhao Yun turned around and left.
"This...General Zhang..." Gan Feng turned his head and looked at Zhang He.
?Zhang He smiled and stood up, "It''s a long story... I''m afraid someone will say it''s water... How about next time?" Talk to you next time? 』
?Gan Feng quickly stood up and followed Zhang He''s footsteps, "That **** is talking nonsense?" General Zhang, just say it, otherwise I won’t be able to sleep well at night..."
…┐(～)┌…
Being short of food does not mean that there will be no food and grass immediately.
Some people think that when food is out, they can still rob the surrounding areas, plunder the people, and even eat human flesh. However, in fact, the majority of the army is ordinary people. If they ignore the plundering of places and even use human flesh as food, then this kind of The army will not exist for long... ? ? ? Therefore, in ancient times when transportation was inconvenient, it was very important to maintain a smooth food route.
??Lulong Village is mainly for defense against the Hu people in the northeast of Xing''an Mountains, so the military village is located on the easternmost side of the Xuwu Mountains, stuck on the mountain pass. To the east of Lulongzhai is the alluvial plain, to the north of the Shizihe alluvial plain are hills and mountains of various sizes, and to the southwest is western Liaoning.
If you really want to take a detour, you can theoretically make a detour as long as you can pass through the area, but it depends on whether it is worth it or whether the risk is high. In some places, there is no problem for herb collectors or small troops to travel, but if the troop is large, it will be troublesome. To put it simply, it originally took five days to travel along the normal road, but if it took a detour into the mountainous area, it would have taken daily travel. Fifty miles became only five miles per day, and the straight-line distance was only 200 miles. When we went into the mountainous area, it became 400 miles. Even if we could really walk out, the consumption of time and food would be more than ten or two times more than before. ten times!
?This huge gap is something that not everyone can resist...
?The meaning of military strongholds and passes is this. It is very uncomfortable to attack, but it is even more uncomfortable to choose not to attack and take a detour.
Originally, if Gongsun Du wanted to attack Yuyang, he would have to move from Liaodong to Liaoxi step by step. As a result, after Gongsun Du had ships supported by Sun Quan, he bypassed these key points, and then turned around and outflanked him. Under attack from both inside and outside, these military stronghold passes were hit by surprise.
The general who was originally stationed in Lulong Village was also a descendant of Cao Chun''s family. Cao Chun still remembers the excitement and determination on his young face when the post of commander-in-chief of Lulong Village was handed over to him. look.
Now…
Gongsun''s army may be more lenient with ordinary soldiers of Cao''s army, but he will probably not be merciful to such army sergeants.
?Cao Chun gritted his teeth and waved his hand to signal the cavalry to speed up.
To ensure speed, Cao Chun did not bring heavy cavalry this time, but all light cavalry. Thanks to the suppression of the Wuhuan and Xianbei people, Cao Jun also assembled a luxurious lineup, with a thousand men and two horses, without any auxiliary soldiers and civilians, all of them were regular soldiers, and all the baggage and dry food were on horseback...
Although the number is only a thousand, the cavalry is inherently larger than the infantry array. Coupled with the two-horse configuration, when these people and horses march together, their momentum rises with just a scratch. Especially when traveling in the valleys of the Xuwu Mountains, it seemed as if the valleys were filled. The sounds of people shouting and horses neighing echoed in the valleys one after another.
This is a big gamble.
??At first, Cao Hong was unwilling. After all, if he was ambushed by Gongsun''s army in the mountain road, then there would be no need to launch a surprise attack on Lulong Village. How many people could survive would be a problem!
?But Cao Chun was very insistent. He was willing to risk his life to block Gongsun''s army''s return path and strangle Gongsun Du to death in western Liaoning! Only in this way can Cao Chun feel relieved from the humiliation he suffered that day!
??As a man on the battlefield, of course he has revenge and grievances. As for waiting ten or twenty years, there is no chance. If there is a chance, even if you wait one more day, you are a coward!
In the end, Cao Hong couldn''t defeat Cao Chun and agreed. He warned him again and again before leaving. However, both Cao Hong and Cao Chun knew that these warnings were useless. Cao Chun listened and listened, but he could not do it, he would not be cautious, and he would not move forward cautiously. , only a sudden advance, a sudden attack!
?After several consecutive cavalry battles, Cao Jun’s cavalry became more or less similar.
The iron-blooded soldiers themselves were tempered little by little on the battlefield, so the cavalry led by Cao Chun now seems to be a little loose on horseback, but in fact this kind of looseness is sometimes a good thing. After all, people''s energy cannot be highly concentrated at all times. Being tense for a long time will inevitably cause fatigue to come faster. Therefore, traveling in a more relaxed state can extend the journey and make people and horses less tired. .
But even so, it is impossible to run directly from the rear to the front line in one breath. You still have to rest when it is time to rest.
??Cao Chun looked around, then asked the scouts to go out for inspection, and then gave the order to repair on the spot.
Cao Jun''s cavalry gradually stopped, either adjusting their harness, wiping some sweat from the horses and feeding them some food, or bundling some loose dry food ordnance again, and then some got together, shaking their legs and stretching their waists, and so on. At the same time, of course, they are not as rigorous as the infantry. Coupled with the neighing of the war horses, Xu Wushan is extremely lively.
『Take a break for half an hour! ” Cao Chun ordered.
The next step is to defeat Xu Wushan in one go and rush straight to Lulong Village!
In Xuwu Mountain, although the mountain narrows around Lulongzhai, there are still some mountain trails crisscrossing it. These roads can be used by people, but they are not convenient for large troops. Therefore, Lulongzhai is still the place where the army can best control the passage, and it is also the goal of Cao Chun''s adventurous march.
??Cao Chun stood on a big rock and looked towards the direction of Lulong Village. Others can relax, but Cao Chun''s spirit is tense all the way. After all, he is the commander of an army and carries the lives of thousands of people on his shoulders. Even though he looks calm on the surface, he is sleeping in a campfire in the wild at night. At this time, from time to time the natives would wake up in the middle of the night, and then look up at the stars and remain silent.
"General..." Cao Chun''s guard handed over a water bag, "Just drink some water..."
??Cao Chun nodded, took it, took two sips, and then put it down, "It will be there tomorrow...here it comes!" 』
?There was a faint sound of horse hooves in the distance, and then they saw the scouts originally sent by Cao Chun returning.
What''s going on ahead? How many defenders are there in Lulong Village? "Cao Chun saw the scout and asked urgently before the scout''s breath had calmed down.
"Back, back to the general..." the scout took a breath, "in front...there is nothing unusual in front...Brothers, phew, I have touched the edge of Lulong Village and found nothing unusual...There should be 500 people in the village, 800 at most." The person...the guard should be Gongsun...but I don’t know who it is..."
"good! ” Cao Chun clapped his hands and said, “If that’s true, I’ll remember your contribution!” Go get some rest and then explore again! 』
??The scouts also happily accepted the order and retreated without mentioning it.
Just like Cao Chun put the Cao family''s children in Lulong Village, Gongsun Du must have been worried about allowing other ordinary generals to garrison such a Guanzhai artery. But if it were to be a general, Gongsun Du''s men were not so Wealthy generals can be used for squandering, so they must be a descendant of the Gongsun clan.
At noon the next day, the Gongsun soldiers on Lulong Village were hiding in the shadows beside the wall of the village to avoid direct sunlight. To the west of Lulong Village, many traces of Gongsun''s army''s previous breakthrough of the village wall have not yet been repaired and are left like that. At the village gate, the stone wall seemed to have been burned once, leaving scorched marks.
Gongsun''s advance was blocked, and Youzhou was invaded by the Ding Ling people. Although the Ding Ling people who were not on the west side of the Xing''an Mountains were not so foolish as to come to attack Lulong Village, the soldiers who had been passing orders in the past few days, as well as the soldiers who were looking increasingly worse General Gongsun seemed to be able to explain some problems.
?At the west end of the road, only sixty or seventy people came staggeringly, and the first ones were still wearing the tattered Gongsun banner. Everyone looked in a state of disarray. Their shirts and other clothes were just a piece on the left and a piece on the right. No one was complete. There were also some people with their hands and feet bound, and even their bodies were stained with blood for who knows how long. The black and red smudged a large area, and they were staggering towards Lulong Village, supported by the robes around them.
?However, these Gongsun soldiers, who looked like defeated troops, at least had not forgotten their identity as soldiers, at least they still had the weapons in their hands...
??The Gongsun soldiers on duty at Lulong Village were naturally frightened and started running in panic. Then someone climbed onto the wall of the village and shouted at the group of defeated soldiers: "Who are they!" Where did it come from? ! 』
??Cao Chun was in the queue, also dressed in rags. He poked a Liaodong soldier next to him and shouted in a low voice, "Reply..."
"Then what... are you so **** stupid..." Liaodong soldiers shouted, "You sir, I will never end it. Those **** from Cao Jun are here, and the generals are so desperate... Sir I''ll fight my way out to give you a message... Hurry up, open the door and let me in..."
??The Gongsun soldiers on Lulong Village were suddenly in an uproar.
Who the **** are you? "The military academy above Lulong Village also cursed, "Look at you bunch of brats, ah, each of them has a disabled arm blocking their legs, and they also have a shit-eating mouth..."
During the question and answer session, uh, well, in the process of insulting each other, Cao Chun secretly took out the bow under the cover of the crowd, pinched an arrow in his hand, and covered it in the broken ground. Under the cloth robe, he followed the crowd and approached Lulong Village.
?? Gongsun''s soldiers on Lulong Village didn''t pay much attention either. Their main attention was on the news that Wuzhong County was raided by Cao''s army. They all whispered to each other and were shocked by the sudden news.
Open the door! I can''t help but scream... Sir, please hurry up and open the door! 』
The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer. Cao Chun and others are almost standing under the wall of the village. Gongsun Military Academy on Lulong Village is still shaking his head, "No!" Can''t open the door! Look at how stupid you are..."
Cao Chun stood up straight suddenly and raised his bow. The depression that he had suppressed in his chest for a long time after losing Yuyang, the humiliation he had suffered in these days, and the fear he had experienced along the way, all came together at this moment with a cry. He roared and spat out: "Kill!" Seize the stronghold! 』
??Following Cao Chun''s roar, an arrow shot out like lightning, hitting Gongsun Military Academy directly in the face of Lulong Village!
??Amid the astonishment of Gongsun''s soldiers at Lulong Village, Gongsun Military Academy had an arrow stuck in his head and fell backwards!
"kill! 』
Along with the loud shouts of Cao Chun and others, smoke and dust filled the sky in the distance. Cao''s cavalry behind them shouted wildly and ran towards Lulong Village!
