The scouts came on flying horses to report that the road ahead was safe, no Han soldiers and horses were found, and it was unimpeded.
"We're not leaving today, so we'll camp here!"
But Yao Kehui waved his hand and had no intention of continuing. He seemed a little worried. After giving instructions, he got off his horse, turned around and took some guards to the top of the mountain.
Leaving the Tibetan area and entering the Loess Plateau, the criss-crossed area with dense ravines made Yao Kehui feel very uneasy. The terrain is too complex, and it is impossible for anyone to detect every ravine.
The reconnaissance is in place, and there may be troops hidden in every ravine...
Although it was Yao Ke Hui who won the argument with Hu Ti Xi Boye and Hu Ti Xi Boye was the one to blame, it did not mean that Yao Ke Hui's life would be easy. After Yao Ke Hui stated that there was a Han army ahead,
Fulti Xibo Ye took advantage of the situation and proposed a seduction plan, asking Yao Ke to move forward. Falcon Hui Xibo Ye led a large group of people behind. If the Han attacked Yao Ke Hui, then Falcon Tisi Boye would attack Yao Kehui.
With a large army of troops, he defeated the Han people.
It’s simply a plan with nothing new at all!
Yao Kehui cursed in his heart, but the problem was that if Yao Kehui was asked to come up with a comprehensive plan, Yao Kehui wouldn't be able to come up with it...
In other words, it's useless to mention it.
At most, Yao Kehui had only commanded his own clansmen, followed others to pick up some advantages, and sent people to investigate if he knew how to do it. It was already very difficult to think about the longer term. He wanted him to target the arrangement of the Han people, and then form a coordinated
The battle plans of each tribe are indeed a bit overwhelming.
In this area near the Tibetan area, there is basically no population. There is no inhabited land anywhere for dozens or even hundreds of miles. If it is a natural scenery, it is not bad, but for Yao Ke
When he came back, he had no intention of looking at the scenery at all, and he was in a very bad mood.
But for the people of Yao Kehui, it was not that low. Many people were not aware of the situation they were about to face, so when they heard that they were going to camp for a rest, many people laughed and started chatting and working at the same time, even happy
He stood up and sang a few lines. It didn't look like the tense atmosphere before the war, but more like he was on an autumn outing...
Falcon, Xiboye, and those guys, and even their own people, don’t take the Han people seriously!
When he led his people into Tibetan areas, his original intention was to escape the long war between the Xiliang Qiang and the Han people. He did not want his people to die on the battlefield generation after generation, but Yao Ke returned to Wan
I never imagined that even if I hid in Tibetan areas, I would not be able to escape the war.
These Tibetan people in Tibetan areas, for some reason, have formed extremely weird ideas. Sometimes even Yao Kehui cannot understand...
The earliest aborigines in Tibetan areas should be the Mon people. Then these Mon people who have been in Tibetan areas for a long time and have not experienced any wars were naturally conquered and driven out by the foreign Qiang and Tang Dynasties. Some of them stayed and
When the Qiang and Tang Dynasties merged, some of them crossed the mountains and fled to the south.
Logically speaking, Fa Qiang and Tang Yan are also Qiang people, so treating Qiang people like Yao Kehui should be like a fellow villager meeting a fellow villager. Although it won't bring tears to his eyes, he should be warm and welcoming, right?
Unfortunately, it didn't.
Now in Tibetan areas, these Tibetan people, who were formed by the combination of the Qiang and the Mon people, do not welcome the newly arrived Qiang people such as Yao Kehui, and even despise them to a certain extent. This really makes Yao Kehui very
Can't understand.
If it were in later generations, this kind of psychology would not be difficult to understand. For example, people who entered the company a few years ago looked at the new employees, people who settled in Shanghai decades ago looked at the new renters, and a few generations earlier had left their identity as farmers.
of people look at migrant workers...
As long as humans exist, the chain of contempt will always exist.
But Yao Kehui didn't understand this, so he was in pain. He even doubted whether his decision to take his people to Tibetan areas was the right one...
Why go to Tibetan areas if you don’t want to live a stable and comfortable life?
But now, it seems that things are going in the opposite direction from what I thought.
If you follow the orders of Falcon Tisi Bo Ye, then there is no problem in staying in Tibetan areas, but it also means that your people will gradually be annexed by the Ban people, and then gradually become the Ban people and no longer the Qiang people.
Already...
If you don't listen to Falcon Tisiboye's orders, it means that you can no longer live peacefully in Tibetan areas...
Yao Kehui was very disappointed. He had been friends with some Tibetan people for several years or even more than ten years, but how could they become so cold and heartless in the blink of an eye?
Whose fault is it?
The sun seemed to be covered with a veil, looming in the mid-air, looking a little weak.
The terrain in this area has deep ravines, but under the sunlight, the tops of the hills appear bright, looking like densely packed buns in a steamer. It seems that whether you walk on the top of the buns or on the other side,
The wrinkles of the buns are fine, but in fact there is only one road, which starts from Riyue Mountain and goes east and south until Jincheng.
Yao Ke was very uneasy as he walked back. He didn't know which fold contained Han soldiers and horses...
But now, although we have contacted some Han scouts, we still can't see the large Han troops. Where are these Han people?
Zhang Liao, whom Yao Ke longed for, is now stationed in Xidu.
Along the way from Linqiang to Jincheng, there is a very important water source, which is Huangshui.
Due to the erosion of Huangshui River, Xidu is relatively long and narrow from east to west, and there are relatively few wrinkles. However, there are also ditches in the north and south directions. If you look down from a very high altitude, the terrain of Xidu looks like
A cross crack on the Loess Plateau.
The big ditch to the north of the Western Capital is called Laoyezi ditch, and the ditch to the south is called Xiaohugou. Zhang Liao didn't know why Laoyezi ditch was called Laoyezi, but he knew that Xiaohugou was not because of the beard, but because of the beard.
To the south, there is a small lake. Perhaps because of this, the small lake became a mustache.
Zhang Liao decided to give up attacking Qiang City and instead fight here.
In fact, there is no talk of giving up, because there were not many Han people in this area as early as the time of the Second Emperor Heng Ling, let alone any garrison. The only people here were some scattered nomadic small tribes. Half of these tribes
The Han and Qiang people, realizing something was wrong, fled early and hid in deeper ravines.
In Laoyezi Valley in the north of Xidu, Zhang Liao looked at Zhang Chen with a serious face, then turned to look at Meng Hua, who was standing side by side with Zhang Chen, then patted the two people's shoulders hard, and said: "This is
There are many difficulties in going there, but the achievement is very great! If it succeeds, it should be the first achievement! You two, take care! Let's go!"
Zhang Liao just said "if it succeeds", because everyone knew that if it failed, then Zhang Chen and Meng Hua, together with the five hundred soldiers who went with them, would eventually become withered bones under the yellow sand, without a trace.
Return to the soul.
There were no unnecessary words or scenes of crying. Everyone looked solemn. Zhang Chen and Meng Hua saluted Zhang Liao, and then led the five hundred soldiers to move silently.
Zhang Liao stood and watched silently, watching them leave, until the figure of the last soldier blended into the yellow dust and disappeared from sight...
Among the five hundred soldiers, 350 were under the command of the original Hussars General, and the remaining 150 were descendants of the Meng family. They would head north from the Western Capital, continue to go north, and eventually circle around.
Cross the Huangshui River, bypass Poqiang, Linqiang City, bypass a place called "Ala Siwuai" or "Al Shiwuwei", and finally reach the back of Riyue Mountain.
Although there are guides and the Han people here who have become semi-Qiang people as guides, such a long detour is undoubtedly an extremely risky thing.
Ma Heng was originally very right about this plan.
This is the first large-scale battle that Ma Heng has participated in, and it is also the first time that he has participated in a battle involving more than 10,000 people. For Ma Heng, he is somewhat nervous and expectant. Of course, Ma Heng is still full of confidence for this battle.
, but because he was in a relatively unfamiliar environment, Ma Heng naturally wanted to adopt a more stable strategy.
Five hundred people, even if they go all the way to the back of Riyue Mountain, what can they do?
If the Tibetan people in these Tibetan areas are defeated head-on, can 500 people stop the opponent's retreat? If the front-line cannot win, then even if the 500 people manage to reach the rear, what effect will they have?
All in all, Ma Heng felt that the benefits were too small and the risks were too great, completely disproportionate and not worth it.
But Zhang Liao just said: "This strategy was planned by the general's chief Shi..."
Then Ma Heng was speechless.
"Let's go, the rest is to fight for the time..." Zhang Liao looked at the sky and said calmly, "Winter is coming soon..."
……(￣.￣)-……
Almost at the same time, Falcon Tisi Boye was also watching the troops slowly pass through the Riyue Mountain Pass and move towards the east.
"Taking this opportunity," Falcon Tisiboye said slowly, "we will get rid of those who are not of the same mind as us... This will consume our strength, but it will also make our
The strength is even more concentrated... This is why I have been targeting Yao Ke to get back to that guy... So, do you guys understand?"
"I see!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Several tribal leaders who were following Falcon Tisi Boye said in various directions.
Falcon waved his hand and said: "We should be a whole, we should all be brothers... However, now some people feel that there are more people in their tribe, so they think of their own ideas. If this continues, everyone will
Everyone has their own ideas, what should they do in the future? It’s like a ball of loose sand, and it will fall down with a push! This time, send Yao Ke back to these people in front. You all have to keep an eye on it. If anyone wants to make any moves, don’t do it.
Blame us for being rude!"
Several tribal leaders quickly said yes.
"The big man is a huge enemy... I heard that some people are still whispering behind their backs that they shouldn't fight the big man..." Falcon turned his head and looked around, and then said, "Is there such a saying?
?”
A group of tribal leaders shook their heads quickly.
"Haha, haha, it doesn't have to be like this," Falcon Tisiboye said with a smile, "The big man is indeed a very troublesome opponent... But now that the big man is sick... Think about it, since you are an opponent, then you can take advantage of the opponent's illness
Is it better to give the opponent a good beating, or is it better to wait until the opponent recovers from his illness?"
"Of course it's better to fight while you're sick!" a tribal leader said.
"The situation in the Han Dynasty is very chaotic now. They have wars all over the Central Plains..." Falcon Tisi Boye pointed his hand, "It's like a tent. It looks very big, but in fact, all the wooden stakes in the tent are
Everything is shaking. At this time, as long as the wind blows gently... it will make a splash... This is a good opportunity, this is the opportunity given to us by God! If we miss it, our descendants will call us stupid..."
"If we can capture Jincheng before it snows, then we can capture the entire Longyou next year! And Longyou is the barrier in Guanzhong of the Han Dynasty. Once it is captured by us, we can choose to attack Guanzhong at any time!" Falcon said.
Boye raised his hands high, "There is the warmest land there, the sweetest river water there, the grassland that never freezes all year round, the most comfortable sunshine there, the gentlest wind..."
"The key is the Han people... Haha, you know what the Han people are best at?" Falcon Tisiboye continued, "They are best at fighting in the nest... This disease of the Han people is caused by their fighting in the nest again and again.
...The Han people live in the warmest place! They have the best mountains and water, and countless good things! Normally, having such a good place and so many things should be very good and contented.
What? It's a pity that the Han people are not like this... But, having said that, if the Han people are as united as we are, what chance will we have? Haha, hahaha... What a pity... Sad..."
"This disease is contagious..." Falcon Tisiboye said, "Look, even Yao Kehui has been infected... He still feels that there is a barrier between him and us... So, we all
Be careful, as long as we are united and our hearts are together, we will definitely be able to win and get this best land!"
"This is the best gift God has given us! If the Han people don't know how to cherish it, then they don't deserve it!" Falcon Tisibonye shouted, with a fierce look in his eyes and a turbid breath, like a greedy bird
The beast said, "This is the moment when we Tibetan people rise! The land of the Han people and the wealth of the Han people will become ours! Ours!"
Under the autumn sky, the sunlight is so bright and red that it seems to cast a layer of blood on all people and objects.
"Great Tibetan people! Go to war!" Falcon Tisi Boye shouted, "Capture the Golden City before winter!"
