At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were very powerful, and the Qiang people could only be subordinate to the Xiongnu. Some Qiang people requested to move inland. Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, Liu Qi, allowed the research and breeding to stay. He led the people to move to Didao, Angu, Lintao, Shidao, Qiang in Longxi County.
Road and other places.
In order to fight back against the Xiongnu intrusion, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, opened four counties in Hexi, cut off the contact between the Qiang people and the Huns, and sent troops to garrison in Huangzhong. He built a military base in Yongdeng, Gansu Province today. Later, he established counties in the Huangshui River Basin.
The Qiang Protector Xiaowei was established to take charge of the affairs of the central Qiang. During the reign of Emperor Zhao, Jincheng County was also established, with jurisdiction over Huangyuan in the west and Xiahe and other places in the south.
After that, the Qiang people lived together with the Han people and gradually became Han Chinese. Until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Qiang people became an important force in Xiliang and other places. Later, during the Wuhu Rebellion, there was also a branch of the Qiang people. It seemed that the number of the Qiang people was suppressed!
Zuo Aoran then changed his mind and thought about this counterinsurgency, which was about the turmoil of Beigong Boyu, Bian Zhang, Li Wenhou, Guo Guo, Han Sui, etc. At this time, Zuo Aoran's eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought of a person,
That is Ma Teng, the prefect of Xiliang after General Ma Yuan, one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai. Aren't he and Han Sui sworn brothers? Then will he also participate in this rebellion? If so
, that’s good, if you take him in when the time comes, Jin Machao, one of the future Five Tiger Generals, will be his subordinate.
After leaving Luoyang, they went to Chang'an. After leaving Chang'an, they headed straight for Yongzhou. Not far after leaving Chang'an, Zuo Aoran hurriedly sent out far-reaching detectives, close-up detectives, and meteor detectives to get news about the rebels. He also sent out special agents to inquire about military intelligence.
.
On this day, Zuo Aoran was walking forward with his troops. The team suddenly stopped. A spy came to report: "Report, the pioneers learned that Beigong Boyu, the king of the Qiang people, led 100,000 troops and was already far away from here.
There are only fifty miles left, and his vanguard only has twenty miles left. Please make a decision."
"Oh!? So fast!? Who leads the rebel vanguard battalion?" Zuo Aoran asked on his horse.
"It's the Grand Marshal Hung Ho who is fighting with the Second Marshal!" Tan Ma reported back.
"Okay! Let's investigate again and report again!" Zuo Aoran waved his hand.
"Yes!" He turned around and walked away.
After hearing this, Liu Hu was stunned and thought: "This battle is a big deal!" Then he said to Zuo Aoran: "Ninth brother! Let's run back quickly! Go back to Chang'an!"
"Huh!? What does Fifth Brother mean?" Zuo Aoran asked.
"They have more than 100,000 soldiers, but we only have 20,000 soldiers. They have hundreds of generals, but we only have nine including you and the military advisor. We are outnumbered and we cannot do it! Let's go! Let's go! Go back! Go back!"
Liu Hu said.
Zuo Aoran glared and feigned anger: "You are so brave Liu Hu, you actually want to escape before the battle, and you also dare to disturb the morale of the army. Do you know that military law is ruthless?"
Liu Hu saw that his ninth brother Zuo Aoran was really angry, and he was really a little scared. He quickly changed his words and said: "Ninth brother, ninth brother! It was the fifth brother who said the wrong thing, and the fifth brother is not afraid! His head will fall off.
If you win a big bowl of Bala, live two more years, and still be as old as thirty years, what are you afraid of? Besides, if there is a fight, it’s not necessarily who will lose and who will win?”
"Oh! That's right! Since Fifth Brother has such courage, then I will give you twenty soldiers and let Fifth Brother go and meet Hungry He and Shao Ge for a while!" Zuo Aoran said.
"What!?" Liu Hu was dumbfounded when he heard this, and Hu roared: "How much!?"
"Twenty people!" Zuo Aoran said with certainty.
"Ninth brother! Aren't you kidding the fifth brother's head!? Twenty people are going to fight three thousand people, but I won't go!" Liu Hu's head shook like a drum.
Zuo Aoran smiled and said: "Fifth brother, don't be afraid. You are not allowed to win this battle. You can only lose but not win. After meeting for a few rounds, you retreat here. This will be considered your success and a great achievement for you."
.”
"Oh! That's pretty much it!" Liu Hu nodded.
Zuo Aoran said: "According to the order, go to war immediately."
"Okay!" Liu Hu agreed, and then ordered twenty God Hammer Vine Armor soldiers, and ran straight ahead. Twenty miles away, he arrived in a blink of an eye, and saw the rebel camp far away.
Just look at the flags and streamers in front and the trumpets flying.
Zuo Aoran took the horse and said to his soldiers: "Oh! I will fight with the rebel general in a while. If you see me defeated, you should run back. This is called a father-in-law marriage, and everyone cares about himself.
"
The Divine Hammer Vine Armor Soldier said: "General Liu! How can this be done? You should be killed for escaping from battle! We can't run away!"
"Oh! That's not right! Just now my ninth brother issued an order, only defeat is allowed, not victory. Even if you lose the battle, you still have merit!" Liu Hu explained to the soldiers.
"Hmm! That's good! Let's go and set up a battle formation for you to defeat the enemy!" said one of the vine-armored soldiers.
These twenty Divine Hammer Vine Armor soldiers came to the rebel camp and shouted together: "Rebels, traitors, generals, the heavenly army is here, come and die quickly!"
The soldiers from the rebel vanguard camp on the opposite side quickly reported to Generalissimo Hung He and Second Marshal Shao Ge. The two men were good brothers from the same tribe. At this time, they were leading three thousand soldiers and horses to rest. Suddenly someone came to report that the opposite side was coming.
Han soldiers, Han generals, and Generalissimo Hung He were startled at first, but later they were relieved when they heard that there were only about twenty people.
When Liu Hu attacked the enemy and called for formation, the rebel generals were very angry. He thought: "There are only about twenty people, and we want to launch an army to join the formation!" Hungry He raised the three swords in his hand and killed three thousand Qiang.
The soldiers cheered and formed a line, each with his sword and gun in hand.
Then Hung He mounted his horse, grabbed the knife and came to the opposite side of Liu Hu. He pointed the knife at Liu Hu and said, "Hey! Nanman! Whoever you name will be killed by the same name!"
Liu Hu was very happy and said: "Oh! How come you are not afraid of the wind blowing your tongue? Before you reach out, you know that I am going to die! Stop talking nonsense, who are you?"
"I am Hung He, the general marshal of Boyu's tent in the North Palace of Qiang King! Who are you?" Hung He said.
Liu Hu was so happy that he suddenly thought of what Zuo Aoran said when he and his ninth brother Zuo Aoran first met, playing tricks on Liu Xuan, the leader of Erhushan Dazhai, so he said: "My surname is Zu, which has a single name and is called Zong!"
"Oh! So it's our ancestor!" Hung He really cooperated with Liu Hu, looking like he suddenly realized it.
"Oh! That's a good shout!" Liu Hu happily agreed.
He was hungry, but he didn't feel like he was having a good time, so he said, "Nanman! What are you doing here?"
Zuo Aoran said: "Hungry He! Needless to say! Of course I'm going to kill you!" After saying that, he hit Hungry He on the head with a "whoosh" of two cooked copper maces, and said something in his mouth.
He shouted: "Smash your head!" and the two maces were there in one click.
Xing He hurriedly struck out with his big knife and knocked open Liu Hu's mace. He was about to swing the knife to chop Liu Hu, but unexpectedly, he struck first and hit Xing He's ears with both maces.
He also shouted: "Pull out your ears!" Hungry He quickly shrank his neck and hid his head, hiding away.
Then Liu Hu's one-handed mace went straight to Hung He's face, and he shouted: "Gouge your eyes!" The two horses kicked the wrong way, Liu Hu followed up with a backhand mace, and shouted: "By the way!"
Feet!" Liu Hu's four-horse horse trick comes from Niu Gao. His moves are consistent and very fast!
But he was unambiguous, he was called a marshal! He dodged all the previous three moves, and he dodged the fourth one a little too late. He clicked the helmet on his head and it was cut off. This was a big blow.
Hungry He was frightened.
"Ah!" shouted loudly. Hungry He walked aside and touched his head, thinking: "Do I still have this head!?"
Liu Hu reined his horse back, clasped his fists towards Hungry He, and said, "Oh! My ancestors are too busy today. I'm leaving. See you later!" After saying that, he turned the horse's head and ran back on the road it came from. This
But Hungry He was so angry that he didn't care about anything and followed closely behind him. What a chase!
Second Marshal Shao Ge was afraid that his good brother would be deceived, so he waved his eight-point steel spear and ordered: "Brothers in the army, chase me!" Three thousand Qiang soldiers then came to kill, and the twenty magic hammer and vine armor soldiers "
"Hula" suddenly disappeared into the woods and could not be found again.
Liu Hu ran in front, followed by people and horses, chasing closely, and they chased him for eighteen or nine miles. Liu Hu sweated and thought to himself: "Ninth brother! If you don't come again, what will happen to you?"
Just give me a gift!"
Liu Hu was chased by Hungry He to a high mountain called Jiupan Mountain. The mountain was dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Zuo Aoran knew that once the 20,000 soldiers he led went to war with the rebels, they would be
Outnumbered, they could only outmaneuver the enemy, so they ambush 20,000 troops around them, preparing to take them by surprise and attack them unprepared.
Liu Hu rode wildly into Jiupan Mountain. Hungry He and Liu Hu chased the horse's head and tail. Hungry He raised his knife and was about to chop, when he heard a drum sound "rumbling~~" on the mountain, and there were ambushes all around.
A war horse sprang down from the mountain. The man on the horse was wearing a silver helmet and a silver robe. He had a golden gun in his hand and shouted loudly: "Fifth brother, don't be afraid. Don't be afraid. My brother is here!"
The shouts of killing were everywhere, and the Qiang soldiers did not know how many troops there were in the Han army, so they were frightened and fled in all directions. Zuo Aoran took the lead and rushed down the hillside. Liu Hu saw his ninth brother Zuo Aoran coming, and he was so energetic
The head also came, turned the horse's head, and fought with Hung He.
Shao Ge and Zuo Aoran were fighting each other on horseback. Shao Ge shouted loudly: "Nanman! Your marshal's gun will not kill an unknown person. Please sign up to die immediately!"
Zuo Aoran looked at Shao Ge, swung the golden gun in his hand, and signed: "A certain family is the front official seal pioneer officer of Huangfu Song, the general of the Han Dynasty in Pingxi to suppress chaos, Zuo Aoran and Zuo Yunlong! You are
Who?"
Shao Ge smiled contemptuously and said: "I am Shao Ge, the second marshal under Beigong Boyu, the king of the Qiang tribe! Zuo Nanman, look at the gun!" Shao Ge swung his eight-point steel spear and stabbed it distractedly, Zuo Aoran didn't panic.
He was not busy, and saw that the tip of the spear was only a few inches away from his chest. His moves had become old and he could no longer change his moves.
Then he shook Jin Zhuan's Tilu spear, used all his strength to flip his wrist, and knocked the eight-foot-long steel spear to the side. Then, like lightning, the gun rushed towards Shao Ge's belly with a "swish"
The stab came. Seeing that something was not going well, Shao Ge quickly ducked out of the way, but it was a pity! It was too late!
"puff!"
"laugh!"
Zuo Aoran's golden Zhuan Tilu spear penetrated from the weak point. The tip of the spear was as wide as a palm and one foot eight long. It was just pierced in. Zuo Aoran pressed his arms together and said: "Ha!"
Then he put Shao Ge under the horse, and when he saw him face to face, Shao Ge died.
When Xinghe heard the screams of his good brother, he was trembling in his heart. At this moment, Liu Hu's wrought copper maces arrived. With the sound of wind, the two maces went straight to Xinghe's roof.
He said: "Pah! Pah!" Hungry He's head leaked out, and red brain shoots burst out everywhere. He fell off his horse, and his horse fled away.
A man cannot walk without a head, and a bird cannot fly without a head! As soon as Generalissimo Hung He and Second Marshal Shao Ge died, the three thousand soldiers of the Qiang tribe were in chaos, shouting: "Brothers! This is incredible! Run!"
!Run quickly!”
Where are you going!? The roads in front and behind are blocked. Zuo Aoran takes the lead and rushes into the ranks of the Qiang rebels. Zuo Aoran waves the golden Zhuan Tilu gun in his hand. The big gun flies up and down, left and right, and is stained with death.
To die is like a tiger crossing a pack of wolves.
When the 20,000-strong army saw the vanguard officers, they all rushed up. What are we waiting for? They shouted: "Kill!" and rushed down the hillside.
Three generals, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Jiang Yiqu, cut off the rebels' return route. Three generals, Dian Jie, Zhu Ci, and Liu Quan, blocked the mountain pass. The Han army was just chopping melons and vegetables, and they heard: "Crack!"
Puff! Pah!" There was a scuffle.
There were three thousand rebels, and more than two thousand were killed or injured! Those who were lucky enough to survive ran back, but the Han army still wanted to pursue them! Zuo Aoran's army said: "Ming Jin withdraws the troops! Don't chase the poor invaders! Leave a few alive for Beigong.
Boyu is sending a message!" These Qiang soldiers only hate their parents for having two legs! They are so desperate! They are sending a message to Beigong Boyu!
In the battle of Jiupan Mountain, they won a complete victory, killing and wounding more than 2,000 Qiang rebels. The Han army cheered and jumped, picked up the spoils of war, and carried the gongs and drums tents, guns, knives, utensils, grain, grass and horses abandoned by the rebels to the rear.
The marshal's army also cut off the heads of General Marshal Hung He and Second Marshal Shao Ge and sent them to report their merits.
After cleaning the battlefield, Zuo Aoran led the troops and continued to move forward. Not far away, he saw countless mountains in front of him, with undulating mountains, towering trees, cliffs, and strange rocks. The further you go, the more mountains you get. This road is in
Passing between the two mountains, there was the sound of running water again.
Zuo Aoran rolled his eyes and realized the plan, and hurriedly led the horses to give orders. The team stopped to rest. Then he led Jiang Yiqu to check the terrain. Zuo Aoran walked around, and after looking at the terrain, he asked: "This
What place is it?”
Soldier A reported: "This is Qinglong Mountain! There are no homes within dozens of miles!"
Zuo Aoran nodded after hearing this and hurriedly called Tian Feng, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhu Ci, Liu Quan, Liu Hu and others. When everyone arrived, Zuo Aoran said: "Let's kill Beigong Boyu's two marshals.
Beigong Boyu must come back to take revenge. There are 100,000 rebels, but we are only 20,000 now, so we must outsmart the enemy. I just looked at the terrain. Qinglong Mountain is surrounded by mountains and rivers, making it difficult to attack and easy to defend. Our army is ambushing here.
, an army of 20,000 can defeat a rebel army of 100,000!"
Liu Quandao: "Ninth brother, such a clever plan is very good, I wonder how we can break it?"
"I want to set up a pocket formation in Qinglong Mountain, and I will definitely wipe out Beigong Boyu's army!" Zuo Aoran said.
When Liu Hu heard this, he burst into laughter and said with a smile: "Ninth brother! I heard that there is a long snake formation, two dragons emerging from the water formation, three clouds and dragons appearing formation, two instruments and four elephants formation, six Ding Liujia formation, seven stars
The Lianzhu Formation, the Eight-Door Golden Lock Formation, the Heluo Bagua Formation, the Ambush Formation from Flying Daggers, the Hunyuan Yiqi Formation, and haven’t you heard of the Pocket Formation?”
Zuo Aoran was happy and said: "Fifth brother! Today I will let you see something! You and military advisor Tian Feng quickly return to Chang'an and ask Governor Zhang of Chang'an to borrow 800 bags, 500 loads of Jiuling Huangtong, and 1,000 hooks.
Rods, rockets and other objects, please send vehicles to pull them over as soon as possible."
"Okay!" Zuo Aoran and Tian Feng turned around and left.
The brief summary is that the things arrived at dawn the next day. Zuo Aoran led everyone to the hillside and said: "Brothers, you see, this road is the choke point to Chang'an. These are the two mountains.
Add a ditch through the middle, and this mountain pass is like the mouth of a pocket. Third brother, you and Wen Chou each led 3,000 archers to guard the mountain pass. When the Qiang soldiers entered the mountain, ignore them. Wait until all the 100,000 men and horses entered the pocket, and then
Block the mountain pass, cut off their return route, and not allow a single soldier to escape."
"I have the order!" Zhu Ci and Wen Chou accepted the order and went down.
"Fourth brother, you take four thousand people, lay dry grass halfway up the mountain, sprinkle sulfur, flames and saltpeter on it, then lie in wait on the east and west sides of the mountain, sound the drums as a command, and launch rockets down the mountain together." Zuo Aoran.
road.
"Yes!" Liu Quan turned around and left.
"Yuan Hao, you see, once the mountain pass is blocked and fires are set on both sides, the enemy can only move forward, but cannot retreat. There is a mountain stream in front. The stream of the mountain stream is wide and fast. The military advisor can lead 1,000 people and move 800 people.
The bags were filled with sand and soil, blocking the upstream of the mountain stream mouth, and building a dam to store water. When the Qiang soldiers fled for their lives, they lifted up the sand bags and flooded 100,000 Qiang soldiers. Then they used scratching hooks to lift people up. If someone was lucky enough to cross the river,
The road ahead is a winding road between mountains. Brother, lead 2,000 people to guard the top of the mountain road. Pile up logs and rocks to intercept the Qiang soldiers. Liu Hu and Yan Liang will lead 4,000 people to guard the road at the back of the mountain. Remember
If there is a Qiang general with a face like loess, riding a yellow gelding, wearing a crown on his head, and wielding a hammer with a chain, he must be captured. This person is Beigong Boyu, the great king of the Qiang tribe!" Zuo Aoran ordered.
Liu Hu said: "Ninth brother, don't worry! You can't run away from him!" After saying that, he turned around and led the others away.
Zuo Aoran moved his lips, and without any effort, he divided his troops and laid ambush separately. Finally, Zuo Aoran checked everywhere and found that there were no loopholes. Then he came to the top of Qinglong Mountain to observe the enemy's situation.
Let's talk about Beigong Boyu, the king of the Qiang people. He led a hundred thousand troops to march towards Chang'an in a mighty way. He met the defeated soldiers on the way and cried out that he was defeated by a trick in Jiupan Mountain. The three thousand soldiers and horses were almost wiped out. Marshal Hung He and the two
Marshal Shao Ge died in front of the enemy.
After hearing this, Beigong Boyu was so angry that he screamed: "Let me ask you, who was the one who killed my two marshals?"
"One is called Zuo Aoran, and he was the front-line Zhengyin pioneer officer under the general Huangfu Song of the Han Dynasty who suppressed chaos in Pingxi, and the other is called Ancestor!" said the defeated Qiang soldiers.
"Ah! Nonsense! There is no such thing as ancestor!" Beigong Boyu cursed.
"Then we don't know either!?" said the defeated Qiang soldiers.
Beigong Boyu roared angrily: "Okay! Wait until I enter Luoyang, capture the faint king Liu Hong alive, capture Zuo Nanman, and avenge my two marshals! Raise the troops!" Beigong Boyu shook off the reins,
The Qiang soldiers spread their legs and headed straight for Chang'an.
At this time, when it was getting dark, Tan Ma came to report: "King Qi has learned that there are Han soldiers guarding the mountain pass in front. Please order to make a decision!"
Beigong Boyu sent an order to the group to stop. Then he looked around and saw that in this place, there were woods on both sides of the road and peaks confronting each other. Beigong Boyu hurriedly urged his horse to the front of the group. The pioneer officer noted that
When the Qiang King also arrived in front of the team, he looked up and saw a large red satin flag with yellow flames and white moonlight hanging on the top of the mountain in the distance. There was a big Chinese character in the middle, and there were soldiers guarding the corners of the flag.
Beigong Boyu and Zhu Yi moved their horses forward. When they got closer, they saw clearly that there were two brand flags divided into left and right sides. In the middle was a tall white satin flag with the inscription: "The front part is printed as Pioneer Officer" and the middle part is "Left".
Character.
Under the corner of the flag stands an extremely splendid war horse. The general on the horse is only twenty years old. He wears a bright silver helmet with seven hairpins on his head. He wears a chain mail with nine swallows and eight chariots, and a white satin battle robe.
, holding a golden Zhuan Tilu spear in hand, a curved bow on the left, an arrow on the right, a deerskin pouch on the back, and a purple gold whip stuck diagonally. It is majestic and well-groomed. Facing a hundred thousand Qiang soldiers, it is as stable as Mount Tai!
Beigong Boyu took a deep breath after reading this! He thought to himself: "Hiss~~~ Oops! I have been to the Central Plains twice and I have never seen such a young general! This person must be Zuo Aoran! Da
Marshal Hung He and the two marshals died in a fight in his hands. This man must have amazing abilities! It's too late now and we can't fight anymore, especially the mountain roads are rugged. If an ambush is set up, our army will lose the battle and cannot be reckless.
!" Thinking of this, Beigong Boyu told Shaodang Qiang King Zhuyi: "Come on! Send my general's order to set up camp, bury pots and make rice, and fight again tomorrow!"
