Chapter 2006: Xianbei rebels, everyone has something to lose
When a person thinks that he is likely to face death, how many people will be willing to close their eyes and wait for death? When a person knows that he will become a prey to others, how many people will be willing to sacrifice their lives?
Flesh and blood? Isn’t it supposed to be a fine tradition of Chinese people to fight against the people of heaven and earth for their own survival?
But when did meek resignation and suffering endure the pain become the new Chinese virtues, promoted by rulers from generation to generation?
Qian Laoshi thought Zhang He was about to be killed. Once Zhang He died, Qian Laoshi himself would not be able to escape death.
Did Zhang He do anything wrong?
Qian honestly thinks that there is no such thing, so why should people who have done nothing wrong accept the punishment willingly and die without any resistance?
So Qian Laoshi has to give it a try no matter what, resist once and struggle once, because anyway he will die on both sides!
When it was late to cook, that is, when food was being distributed and everyone was cooking, there were many soldiers coming and going, and no one noticed that Qian Laoshi was among them...
There is information from some unreliable sources in later generations, saying that cannibalism will cause a strange disease that is difficult to cure, and then this strange disease will cure itself if you stop eating people...
But in fact, this rhetoric has not been confirmed and recognized by professional medical institutions. In fact, even in the so-called "civilized" later generations, cannibalism, or partial cannibalism, often occurs, and has even spread.
For thousands of years, take a chestnut to eat, such as "Zihe Che".
So from a physiological point of view, any living thing has the instinct to continue to reproduce, so when there are other foods to eat, the vast majority of living things will not eat the same kind. There is both competition and self-preservation within the biological population.
But if there is no other food one day, cannibalism is not uncommon.
Especially non-vegetarian creatures.
Of course, most of the time, because humans need to cooperate with each other to jointly resist foreign enemies and transform nature, the cost of cannibalism is too high. People can be left to do more valuable things, so there is no need to eat people. Living things must survive.
Humans need both plant protein and animal protein. Since they can eat other living things, they don’t have to eat the same kind, which can ensure the continuation of the population. Competition in nature means fighting hard, and this has nothing to do with morality.
However, in the absence of food...
Just like Yuyang now.
If Cao Cao hadn't encountered such a dilemma in Jizhou, if Zhang He hadn't burned all the food and grass, and if there weren't more than a thousand Xianbei people with more mouths to eat, it might be a different story...
But now, "rat meat" has become a kind of military ration in Yuyang.
Originally, when Zhang He was in charge of the camp, it was more or less even. Cao's soldiers and Xianbei's soldiers generally got slightly different food, but the difference was not very big. However, after Xia Houyuan replaced Zhang He, his attention was focused on
On how to avenge shame and how to defeat Zhao Yun and others, who would care about such nonsense?
If the leader doesn't care, then the subordinates will naturally act according to their own ideas. As a result, Cao's soldiers received all serious food, while the Xianbei people received all "rat meat".
If it were just like this, it wouldn't arouse much resentment, but as many people as possible, there would naturally be those who rely on belittling others to feel that they can elevate themselves, and they started to spare no effort in talking about these Xianbei people.
Dregs, trash, rubbish, there is no point in living in this world, they only deserve to eat these "rat meat"...
Any rhetoric will inevitably attract the intervention of other trolls. Just like a certain Kong and a certain You are a gathering place for a large number of trolls to get pleasure. When a soldier who spits insults at Xianbei is not stopped, many trolls will smell the air.
The smell that filled the air happily joined in, spewing all kinds of vicious words they could think of at the Xianbei people, and then they laughed together, as if there was something called "happiness" permeating the air.
s things.
Only in this way can these Cao soldiers feel that they are higher than the Xianbei people and no longer at the bottom of the class. Aren't there people who are worse and more unlucky than themselves? Then these Cao soldiers will gain psychological benefits.
Extremely satisfied.
Most Xianbei people can't understand Chinese, but it doesn't mean they can't understand the expressions or detect the strangeness. The laughter that breaks out from time to time, and the words that represent all kinds of malice, even if they don't know what Cao's soldiers are saying.
What, Xianbei people can guess a little bit.
No one cares?
Really no one cares.
The original management system was completely disrupted, and Xia Houyuan did not immediately allocate and straighten out the non-commissioned officers at all levels. Those who were originally under Zhang He thought that Xia Houyuan's men should be in charge of the current affairs, and Xia Houyuan's men did not receive confirmed orders, so how could they take responsibility?
Are you so full that you are looking for trouble?
"Old lump, come here!" The Xianbei leader called an older Xianbei man over, "Do you understand what those guys are saying?"
The old man hesitated.
"I know they didn't say anything nice..." The Xianbei leader looked over and said, "It's not you who said that. You are so scared! Say it quickly!"
The old man choked, and then he was slapped on the back of the head by the Xianbei leader before he came closer and muttered a few words.
The Xianbei leader jumped up and grabbed Lao Gao's leather robe with both hands. Well, it might not be possible to grasp it without both hands, and it would slip. Lao Gao's leather robe, which he has worn almost all his life, is almost pure black...
…
"What did you say?" the Xianbei leader shouted in a low voice, "these meat..."
Of course, not all Xianbei people have eaten "rat meat", especially people like the Xianbei leaders who are relatively well-off. These guys may like to use the skulls of their enemies to drink wine, and they are also very fond of blood feuds.
Although they are interested in eating this kind of meat, it does not mean that they like to eat this kind of meat or rely on this kind of meat as their staple food.
In the Xianbei people's concept, enemies are not the same kind, and slaves are not the same kind either. Therefore, eating the flesh and blood of enemies and slaves is the same as eating cattle and sheep. There is not much difference, but if we say that these meats are also the source
For ordinary Xianbei people, it naturally makes them feel uncomfortable.
There is nothing difficult to understand. At the same time, because of the surrounding wars, who else could be the source of "rat meat"? Could Cao Jun in Yuyang be stupid enough to capture the few remaining civilians in his family? So he was defeated
The small group of Xianbei people in the country are naturally the source of these meats, and the key is that these Xianbei people can often buy one and get one free. In addition to contributing a body of meat, most of them will get a horse.
If the war horse is not injured, then it will be used as a supplement to the fighting strength. If the war horse is injured, then there will be an extra piece of horse meat. Anyway, it is more cost-effective than arresting your own farmer.
As soon as these news spread, the Xianbei people almost exploded on the spot, and at this moment, Qian Laoshi came. As a result, the Xianbei people agreed to rescue Zhang He. In exchange, Zhang He would help them fight back to the Xianbei Royal Court.
…
Of course, Qian Laoshi was not qualified to replace Zhang He's promise, but similarly, Qian Laoshi would not veto anything for Zhang He. So, a riot started in the middle of the night.
If Zhang He was advocating for matters within the camp, it would be absolutely impossible for such a lax situation to occur. However, Xia Houyuan pursues straightforward matters and has a good time. Why would he care about some details? Therefore, the queues originally on duty in the camp were also weak. Although some non-commissioned officers saw
But Xia Houyuan didn't care, so they just turned a blind eye and pretended they didn't see it.
The soldiers who were on guard duty in the middle of the night were all yawning and couldn't bear to finish the whole journey, so they thought of it and found a corner to hide and catch up on their sleep.
The darkness before dawn is always the most relaxing time.
Qian Laoshi and the Xianbei people were divided into two groups. One group started shouting to prevent fire in the camp and disrupted order, while the other group rushed directly into the supply camp to rescue Zhang He.
Destruction from within is often faster and more unpredictable. The patrolling Cao soldiers did not react for a moment. They did not expect that there would be a riot in the camp. Most of their attention was outside the camp.
, were all in the direction of Zhao Yun in the distance, so when the Xianbei people rose up in violence, many of Cao's troops were confused and did not even issue a warning immediately.
Xia Houyuan was awakened, but it was of no use. At first, Xia Houyuan thought it was Zhao Yun and others who were attacking at night, so he eagerly gathered his soldiers and prepared for a counterattack. However, when he found out that it was actually his own soldiers who rioted, and the camp was in flames.
By that time, it was already too late...
If only the Xianbei people were making trouble, Xia Houyuan would definitely not let Zhang He go after he reacted. But the problem is that Zhao Yun and Sima Yi were not a decoration. When he discovered something unusual in the camp in the west of Yuyang City, he made sure that there was nothing nearby.
Abnormal, they immediately sent out some soldiers and horses led by Gan Feng to conduct tentative oppression, and the effect was naturally outstanding.
There was a riot inside and a powerful enemy outside. Xia Houyuan couldn't take care of it at all. The camp in the west of the city was almost destroyed. He had to retreat into Yuyang with the remaining soldiers. From then on, Cao Jun lost the defense system that had been the horns of each other.
…
Zhang He was carried by the Xianbei people and rushed out of the camp.
Although the incident happened so suddenly that Zhang He is still a little confused, it does not mean that Zhang He is a foolish and loyal person who wants to go back and die in silence. Zhang He knows that after Qian Laoshi did such a thing, even if
It is useless for Zhang He to deny that he did not instigate these things.
So is money to be blamed?
Blame a personal guard who risked his life to rescue him?
At this moment, Zhang He really didn't know whether he should feel happy or sad. If Cao Chun could face him, Zhang He really wanted to yell at Cao Chun, "Aren't you doubting something? This is all you want!?"
While the night was still dark, Zhang He and the Xianbei people hurriedly fled north.
Gan Feng took the opportunity to defeat the main camp in the west of the city and withdrew his troops, but did not take advantage of the situation to attack the city.
While Cao Chun and Xia Houyuan in Yuyang City took a breath, they did not realize that what they had lost was far more than just a camp in the west of the city...
……(╯-_-)╯~╩╩……
New changes have taken place not only under Yuyang City, but also in the desert, between Gongsun Du and Liu He.
Gongsun Du's military strength was obviously stronger than that of Liu He and others. After all, he was not called the King of Liaodong for nothing. When Gongsun Du's new reinforcements arrived, all the soldiers under Gongsun Du's command cheered in unison, and their morale was greatly shaken.
, and Liu He's soldiers naturally seemed a little panicked.
Gongsun Du smiled with satisfaction, waved his hand and ordered: "Form up! Attack!"
For a time, the sky above the battlefield was filled with the sound of war drums, long, short, rapid, melodious, low, and high. All kinds of sounds were intertwined, mixed with the sounds of soldiers' orders and
In response, the huge sense of oppression made it difficult for Liu He and the Wuhuan people to deal with it.
The new reinforcements from Gongsun's side coming from the southeast are forming a tense and orderly formation. From a distance, they look like countless black and gray insects squirming on the green grassland, which is disgusting and terrifying.
Liu He looked at Gongsun Du's army two miles away, and the muscles on his face twitched involuntarily.
"Master!" Lou Ban whispered beside Liu He, "No! The difference in strength is too big! We can't win..."
Liu He said: "We can't win...but we can't withdraw now...it will cause chaos if we withdraw! Now we can only attack the opponent's flank first, and then leave!"
"Okay..." Lou Ban said in a deep voice, "But you can't fall into it!"
"Yes, we can't fall in love with fighting!" Liu He agreed.
Lou Ban nodded: "Then give the order! If we wait any longer, they will soon be surrounded!"
Liu He drew out his sword, then turned his horse's head, raising the sword high in front of him, "Follow me! Let's fight out!"
Lou Ban also shouted loudly, and soon several horn soldiers following Lou Ban also blew the horns.
Liu He and others' cavalry began to flow like water on the grassland.
Part of Gongsun Du's army is still on the mountain. About three thousand troops have already gone down and formed a formation, but there are still some soldiers on the hillside who are gathering in a steady flow down the mountain.
"Lord! The front army, the center army, and the left army are all in position. The right army is rapidly gathering. The rear army is still on the mountain." The soldiers reported.
Gongsundu cursed impatiently: "Asshole, give the order, let these guys go faster, faster! Didn't you see that the guys on the opposite side are moving! Also, let the front army move forward two hundred steps! Bows and arrows
Keep up and get ready!』
In order not to expose their target, Liu He and others initially rushed straight towards Gongsun Du's Chinese army.
Gongsun Du's advantage is that he has the upper hand in terms of number of troops, and the new reinforcements have greatly enhanced the morale of his soldiers. Therefore, if Liu He is willing to compete with him, Gongsun Du will undoubtedly be the happiest, so Gongsun Du initially
They deliberately let the front army move forward in an exposed position, trying to get Liu He to bite the hook, and then they could be surrounded and annihilated.
But the advantage of Liu He's side was that most of them were cavalry, and Gongsun Du didn't know that Liu He and Lou Ban immediately decided to retreat after seeing Gongsun Du's reinforcements. However, Liu He couldn't express his retreat too much.
Obviously, otherwise if one's own side loses morale and is killed by the opponent's cavalry from behind, then it will not be a retreat, but a disaster.
Therefore, Liu He turned his back on guests and took the initiative to attack.
Gongsun Du was also happy to see Liu He's attack. The troops from both sides were getting closer and closer, and the soldiers' ears were buzzing from the roar of horse hooves.
Amidst the sound of horse hooves, the horn sounded again.
The direction of Liu He and others gradually began to change.
"Bastard! You are a coward without courage! They are not trying to fight, they are trying to run away!" Gongsun Du's expression suddenly changed, "Right wing! Damn it, it's the right wing! Someone is coming! Send the order! Let the right wing form an array!"
We can’t let them pass!』
"My lord! My lord! The right army has not completely come down yet..."
"Go and deliver the order!" Gongsun Du shouted, "Don't let them pass! Otherwise they will run away!"
"Full speed forward!" the floor class on the other side shouted loudly.
The sound of horns broke through the huge roar and was passed on one after another, and the speed of the troops suddenly accelerated.
The two sides came into contact with each other in an instant.
The two sides that collided directly turned their horses on their backs, with blood and flesh flying everywhere. On the one hand, Gongsun Du's soldiers were not all in place, and on the other hand, they started too slowly, resulting in insufficient speed and much smaller impact force. However, Liu He's cavalry was faster.
It has basically reached the maximum, and basically everything it encounters will be knocked away!
Liu He and others, who had fully increased their speed, were blocked by Gongsun Du's right wing, but their speed was not affected much. They stepped on the bodies of Gongsun Du's soldiers and were still running wildly, like the wind and the remaining clouds, like the flood that broke the embankment.
, the waves surged and spread away.
Gongsun Du jumped on his feet and cursed, and his general Liu Yi also tried his best to lead his soldiers to stop them. If Liu He and others could not be stopped immediately, then naturally they would not be able to surround Liu He and others and annihilate them.
The problem is that Gongsundu's broken right wing cannot achieve such an effect at all, and Liu Yi cannot catch up with the speed of the Chinese army. Although the reinforcements on the other side have arrived on the battlefield, they have to go around from the left to the right.
Gongsundu's army couldn't catch up in a short while.
But this does not mean that Liu He and the Wuhuan people were unscathed. Even the heavy cavalry could not be said to be completely unscathed when they rushed into the collision, let alone the light cavalry dominated by the Wuhuan people.
In the collision, many Wuhuan soldiers died tragically on the spot, and because Liu Yi led Gongsun's soldiers to outflank him, even though Liu and Lou Ban penetrated Gongsun Du's right wing, not everyone could escape from the battle immediately.
, some Wuhuan people who fell behind were bitten and fell into a crazy melee, and most of them were killed.
Neither of the two sides caught in the fierce battle noticed. Unknowingly, some dark clouds began to roll up in the northern sky, and the sun feebly hid behind the clouds. The faint cold wind began to sing in the air, and a cold breeze began to flow.
