Chapter 104 Xianbei goes south for threshing grass
Just when Zhao Xing was standing on the high platform to tease the Xianbei people, the leader of the 10,000-strong tribes in the northern Xianbei jointly elected the ten thousand men and led their troops south to do similar things to the Xianbei people, but the object of their ridicule and ridicule was replaced by the Han people.
"Children, you are warriors on the prairie. When you see the wolf, tiger and leopard, you will run away with trembling. Compared with you, the Han army in the pass is as weak as a little lamb!" Que Jubisha, the big leader of the central Xianbei region, said in a sarcastic tone, attracting the laughter of tens of thousands of people in front of you.
"Why should we endure the cold winter on the prairie, while the Han people hid in the Great Wall, lived in warm houses, ate full and dressed warmly? Why did the most majestic warriors endure the hard days of hunger and cold, while the weak Han people enjoyed the fertile land? The Huns pressed over our heads were betrayed by their own people, allowing the Han people to reach the distant West and never have a chance to return. Now, it is a great opportunity for our Xianbei people to rise!" Quejubisha continued to incite.
"This cold winter, the continuous heavy snow has frozen many of our cattle and sheep, as well as the pitiful elderly and children. We must grit our teeth and persevere. After spring, everything will be fine! Now is the time for us to do something for our tribe! Let us rush into the pass and get back the food and supplies we need from the hands of the Han people! Since they cannot keep their own things, they should be enjoyed by the real warriors!"
"Enjoy!..." The Xianbei people shouted loudly, as if they had seen piles of food, delicate Han women and bags of gold, silver and treasures.
"Children, I heard from the merchants walking outside the frontier that Shangdang within the Great Wall was rich and the grain was full of food, and there were only less than 10,000 people stationed. The newly built Wohu City was extremely prosperous. Groups of beautiful women lived in it, enough for each warrior to be divided into one! This time we went south to Jiguan, so that the Han emperor hiding in Luoyang would know the strength and courage of Xianbei Erlang! In the future, the Great Wall will be our largest hunting ground!" The leader described Shangdang as heaven on earth, and his men and horses all heard it, and even more, they had already started drooling.
"Children, target Shangdang, thresh grass!" Queju Bisha issued a command to set off.
"Target Shangdang, threshing grass!" A group of robbers on the prairie shouted excitedly and went south.
"Uncle, we have nearly 10,000 people heading south this time, and there is a lot of noise. How can we avoid the Han defenders in Yanmen and Mayi?" A thousand-time captain next to the boss rode a horse and asked in a low voice.
"Hmph, we don't have to hide at all! We just need to travel through the Yunzhong area and go south along the Yellow River. If there weren't a spy among the Han people who sent a secret letter saying that there was a discord between the Han people and intend to use our hands to get rid of dissidents, how could the leader know that the Shangdang defenders were so weak? How could we let us rush to Shangdang and take a bite to the wealthy Shangdang Changzi County!"
"I heard from the merchants who come and go that there are several powerful generals in Shangdang who are very powerful. It is not that the Han people deliberately push us into the fire pit, right?" The leader of the thousand-time men, Que Ju, Yan Ke, was meticulous and did not block his eyes by the desire to steal, and raised the question in his heart.
"We went there this time, just robbed and did not fight head-on with them. As long as we robbed enough things, we immediately fled to the grassland. Besides, most of the Han soldiers were infantry and could only defend the city. How could we do the Xianbei warriors who grew up on horseback!" The big boss replied confidently.
"I'd better be careful everywhere. Recently, I always have some bad premonitions. Maybe the fat meat in our eyes of Shangdang may be a poison that kills people!" After saying that, the little leader returned to his team of thousands of people.
"Yan Ke is good everywhere, but he is too timid and afraid of things. It seems that he will need to be more tempered in the future!" The big boss looked at his nephew who had already gone away and sighed. "Shangdang Zhao Xing, this time I will hit you hard, and dare to take in the remnants of Qiang and Hu! And that little **, who asked her to escape last time, this time, must take her back to the north, and torture her hard until she died with a whip to relieve my hatred!" The head of ten thousand men thought hatred in his heart.
It turned out that the Xianbei leader who led the team south this time was Que Jubisha, the leader of the Xianbei tribe who almost destroyed the Myolie Hu clan. I don’t know if Hu Cheer, who had a deep hatred with Que Jubisha, would encounter the leader after Zhao Xing used all the cavalry divisions.
In the middle of winter, the weather in the north was already cold, and a snow disaster had just happened this year. Therefore, the Yellow River, which is located in Hetao, was already frozen to ride a horse and a car. The Xianbei people also seized the opportunity of the Yellow River to freeze after it was frozen, and they could go south without attacking the Great Wall Pass, and then they fought and rushed over for a long distance.
When we passed Mayi and Sang Qian, the Han defenders on the city walls across the two ends of the Yellow River were indeed watching the Xianbei people swaying through the frozen Yellow River, and there were no beacons. It seemed that there were quite a few people who were embarrassed to attack Zhao Xing himself, and there were more people who wanted to make Zhao Xing unlucky. Otherwise, how could the defenders on the two Great Walls belonging to Shangjun and Yanmen County turn a blind eye and watch the Xianbei people enter?
Once the Xianbei people crossed the Great Wall, they immediately went ashore from the frozen Yellow River. They had already thrown aside the order given by the great leader to attack Shangdang County, and started burning, killing and looting all the way from Xihe County, pressing towards Shangdang like locusts across the border.
It is precisely because of the greed of the Xianbei people and the looting that Shangdang has given more full preparation time and more accurate information. The people of various counties near Xihe County and Taiyuan County have been urgently moved to the south by Zhao Xing. All counties and towns have sent troops to guard the county towns and villages, just waiting for the Xianbei people to crash in and close the door and beat dogs.
Zhang Liao and Hu Cheer, who were responsible for ambushing the rear, were very excited and had already assigned their subordinates. After waiting for all the Xianbei people to rush into Shangdang, they would ambush their troops under Shangguyuan City by the Qin River and catch turtles in a jar.
The Crouching Tiger Infantry, which had been repeatedly tortured and tempered by Guan Yu and Xu Huang, has now reached another level when they were in the past when Jiguan was in the past. Most importantly, after Zhao Xing's drastic reforms, all the officers above the battalions of the troops are now from Crouching Tiger City, and they are all elite soldiers who can at least take ten moves under Guan Yu. They have also received training from the martial arts lecture hall, allowing them to lead a battalion of hundreds of troops to station in a village, and they will never be defeated without fighting and passively responding to the battle.
Zhao Yun, Qu Yi and Guo eldest son led some cavalry to cruise on the road of the Xianbei people in the middle, west and north, and worked closely with the infantry garrisons nearby, waiting for the infantry battalions to knock off the front teeth of the Xianbei people, and chased the fleeing scattered soldiers, and at the same time drove the Xianbei people into Zhang Liao's ambush circle.
It was already the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. Zhao Xing, who was sitting in the study, focused on watching the latest updates since the Xianbei people headed south, wondering how the Xianbei people could pass through Yunzhong, Shuofang, Shangjun, and Yanmen so easily, with the Southern Xiongnu and Han army stationed, with the goal point clearly aiming directly at Shangdang?
"No matter how many, let's get the Xianbei people first. Everyone is still waiting for the New Year!" Zhao Xing murmured and got up and left the study.
