Chen Chong's negligence towards Hu Ze is excusable. Although it has been nearly twenty years since Chen Chong took office in Xihe, the Jinyang regime has been coexisting with the Imperial Court of Meiji for nearly twenty years, and it has been seventeen years since he was naturalized and conscripted, but that time
To this day, the various tribes of the Southern Xiongnu still retain considerable autonomy.
With the help of the Bafu, the kings and princes of each tribe set up townships and counties in their tribes. However, the county offices and pavilions were still controlled by the nobles of each ministry. The Bafu only sent the prefectures to inspect and patrol every year to assist in handling the affairs of the townships.
In county affairs, taxes are collected from it, and no personnel affairs are done recklessly. Except for the death penalty, all other punishments are subject to self-examination. Even if it is the land grant and household registration that is fully implemented in the country, the Bafu first seeks the consent of each ministry before implementing it in all ministries.
.According to Wei Duan, who is in charge of the Bafu government, although the restructuring has been quite effective, the number of Huns registered in the register is probably only half of the country.

Therefore, during the war, although the Southern Xiongnu provided troops, horses, food and grass to the Bafu, they did not provide espionage information. Instead, they set up defenses in the Meiji and Hequ areas on their own, and did not set up scouts or sentries in the Shasai area. This gave
The Eastern Army's excellent opportunity to invade also allowed Liu Bei and Chen Chong to reveal this only flaw.
On July Yiyou, the weather turns cloudy, and the early autumn wind becomes extremely refreshing, but there is inevitably some smell of dust and gunpowder smoke in the sand, which makes the horses sitting down in the east feel uneasy. Although Huze is indeed a sandy place.
It is the only easy path in the fortress, but it does not mean that there is no sand and dust on the road. When the Easterners left the Hetao Plain from Jinyang, they were greeted by a vast desert.
Stepping on it, the yellow sand sea seems to cover up all the colors on the road. Whether it is the dome, the land, the gravel, the withered grass, they all seem to be dry. The sun shines on it, and the gravel also shines, which makes the east
People were dizzy. When they stepped on the soft sand, there was a crunching sound under their feet, which made them feel particularly surprised.
Several people ran curiously among the sand dunes to experience this feeling that they had never experienced before. But soon, someone screamed, and the sand under their feet flowed rapidly, as if they were sinking into water. The friends around them went to pull
He and the soldiers trapped in the sand also struggled hurriedly, but to no avail.
At this time, a Xianbei man came over, drove everyone around him away, and then muttered in Chinese and said to the trapped person: "Don't move, the more you move, the faster you will sink." Then he taught him to step on the sand slowly and patiently.
They gently moved their feet back and forth to shake off the sand in the lower part, and slowly pulled him out of the quicksand. After rescuing the person, the Xianbei people said to the East people: "It is difficult to walk through the sand, and the quicksand kills people. Follow us."
Only by walking can you get out."
So the procession of the Easterners turned into a long winding snake, walking with difficulty step by step among the sand dunes. Without the protection of trees, people discovered that the wind and sand can be so big, as if the cold wind of winter is not enough.
Therefore, after they dismounted and took the reins, they rolled up the flag, covered their faces with a towel, and walked silently through the sand.
But soon, they came to Huze. They had only walked for about half a day, but when they saw an oasis in front of them, the Easterners actually felt like they were in another world. When they smelled the grass and trees, they actually noticed a
The refreshing fragrance was due to the combination of water vapor and reeds. The Easterners had no time to think about it further and subconsciously headed straight for the big lake, because after this short journey, their water bottles were already empty. After having a full meal, the Dong people took a short rest by the Huze Lake. They left a thousand people to camp here to ensure that they would still have a safe retreat if the sneak attack failed.
The Dong people continued to go south, and they moved along a tributary that stretched out from the middle of the lake. Looking around, they could see yellow sand and gravel not far from the water, which made them realize that they were still in the sand.
Inside, another strong wind roared, and people covered their mouths and noses and kept coughing in the yellow sand. It took a while before the wind and sand receded.
When Cao Ren saw this, he couldn't help but sigh to Murong Mohuba who was leading the way: "If it weren't for you to lead the way, I would never want to step through this place even if I die."
Murong Mohuba said: "This is nothing. Compared with the desert, it is like a fox compared to a tiger. But I heard that two hundred years ago, a general named Wei Qing from your country led tens of thousands of people to cross the border.
In the desert, he defeated twice the cavalry of the Xiongnu Chanyu and destroyed a large city. The local vagrants still remember him and called him A Liu Dun Qi Yu, saying he was the proud son of heaven as golden as gold."
After hearing this, Cao Ren immediately knew that he was talking about the Battle of Mobei. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the reputation of the martyrs could be spread for such a long time, so he could not fall behind. At the same time, he heard Murong Mohuba continue to say: "Heroes are rare.
If there can be such a person among my descendants, then after I return to heaven and earth, I will die without regrets."
"Ahem." When Cao Ren heard this, he gave one of his swords to Mo Huba and smiled at him: "If this battle is successful, I will go to the Marshal and make Brother Murong the Righteous King."<
/p>
After walking another twenty miles, the Easterners walked out of Shasai. Behind the vast yellow sand, there was a loess plateau with crisscrossed ravines. Countless yellow soil slopes overlapped each other, like a natural barrier and an endless ocean.
The labyrinth gave them a sense of stability, but also a sense of uncertainty about their future.
The Xianbei people still knew the way. He pointed to the hill he saw first and said, "That is Xiangsha Bay. There are so many quicksands that it swallows many people. It is said that people can often hear the sound of the sand bay at night, and the sound is like crying."
It was like complaining, waiting for the cries of the dead souls. They turned east here and walked along a path called Puniuchuan to Nalinchuan. The vegetation here is lush and there are no human traces around, so Easterners rest here. p>
When resting that night, Murong Mohuba told Cao Ren that after passing the Nalin River and stepping onto the Yangslope Road, you can see the Xiongnu tribes. And walking a hundred miles eastward along the Yangslope Road is the beautiful scenery.
Ji Wangting, this section of the road is difficult to hide, I wonder what his plan is.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Cao Ren had planned everything on the road and naturally replied: "My tent is full of cavalry, let alone a hundred miles. Even if I am not afraid of attacking for three hundred miles, it is not difficult. The only problem is that I am afraid that the Huns will see me."
If you are timid and stick to the fortified city, then I dare not say that you will win." Here he briefly said: "In short, we can neither be slow nor fast."
"What does this mean?"
This was Zhang He's calculation, so he explained: "If our army marches too fast, the Huns will be unprepared and will be afraid and dare not leave the city. The battle will be protracted. If our army marches too slowly, the Huns will easily block our army in the mountains."
, no fighting in the field."
Mo Huba understood that Dongren was asking him for his opinion on the march. He thought for a moment, then pointed to Dongfang and said: "Go east for eighty miles, and there will be a hundred-mile long river. The terrain is not open, but it is
It's not too narrow, and there are many passages leading directly to Meiji. It's better to go there tomorrow to rest." After hearing about this place, Cao Ren was overjoyed and looked to the east and thought to himself: "I hope I can really seal the victory in this adventure." Early the next morning, the Dong Dynasty people began to attack as planned. They raised the dark Dong Dynasty flag again and rushed among the mountains that were getting greener. After walking no more than six or seven miles, they saw the mountains and the people, and then saw
The flocks of sheep on the high slope were moving like clouds. One of them, an ox, was watching them. Suddenly it let out a high-pitched moo, startling a group of geese that had not yet flown south. The Huns heard the sound and came closer. Only then did they realize that there was a gap between the mountain paths.
There is a group of more knights.
When the Easterners saw a few Huns, they did not rob and kill them as usual. Instead, they plundered their property and food. They deliberately let it out and said that they were tired from the attack behind the sandbank, but military planes were rare, so they should attack quickly today.
Mei Ji. Then he released the captured Huns.
Almost everyone in the Xiongnu tribes had horses. As soon as the captured Huns were freed, they reported the news to Meiji one after another. Within half a day, someone reported the matter to the ears of Julong King Liu Weichun.
Liu Weichun's original name was Luantangqiu Huqi, and he was an elder of Liu Bao's clan. He was very popular because he was good at martial arts in his old age. As the old saying goes, the Dragon King had no descendants, so after his death, he led his tribe and changed his name to Liu Weichun. At this time, I first heard that someone from the East was coming.
He was shocked and thought: "How come there are Easterners here? Could it be that the general has already been defeated?" He immediately wanted to flee.
Xubugudu Houbu Shizi, who was also stationed in Meiji, asked for specific details. Through comparison, he learned that the number of Dongren was about 10,000, and they came across Shasai and planned to attack Meiji. This made Liu Weichun very relieved.
Take a breath and start preparing for the battle.
Unexpectedly, the Dong army did not come that day. He sent another scout to investigate, and found out that the Dong army was resting at Baili Changchuan. Relevant to the words of the Dong army before, Liu Weichun was extremely excited and smiled at Master Bu: "Dong Dong army."
A man walking through the sand, exhausted, can be said to have traveled thousands of miles to die!" So he made up his mind to fight the next day.
Early the next morning, the Easterners crossed the sand channel from Baili Changchuan and arrived at the grassland west of Meiji City. The Huns also came out from Meiji in large numbers, confronting the enemy with a force of 30,000. Seeing the Easterners covered in dust, the Huns stopped them.
Feng's robe was covered with yellow sand and mud spots, and he felt that the outcome was decided.
But Liu Weichun saw that the Easterners were not in a hurry to attack, but were eating and resting on the ground. He felt that this was a good opportunity to attack, and he immediately decided to fight in the field. Over the years, Buddhism has flourished in Bingzhou, and he was also quite pious. Before the war, he had this attitude toward heaven.
Said: "Bishamonten is above, if we can defeat the enemy in this battle, I will build a statue here to pray for blessings."
After that, he shouted the order loudly, and accompanied by the loud and far-ranging bugle, the Huns galloped from the left and right, like a giant net and swept away towards the Eastern Army. However, the Eastern people were not in a hurry, they mounted their horses leisurely,
As if he had made an appointment beforehand, he suddenly took off his outer robe, revealing the iron armor he had worn inside. At this moment, the rising sun was rising in the east, and the light was shining on the stomach of Dongren armor in the west. The Huns only felt a golden light flickering in front of their eyes, and then they were stunned.
It was discovered that almost everyone in the Eastern Army's vanguard was wearing an armored stomach!
Zhu Ling, the general of the Eastern Expedition, launched a heavy counterattack in the midst of astonishment, cutting off the Huns' formation in an instant like a knife slicing through cloth. Cao Ren followed closely behind him and took advantage of the situation to defeat the left wing of the Huns to the right, successfully defeating the formation.
Liu Weichun. The Huns army lost their leader and fled like antelopes.
At this time, Cao Ren knew that he had won this battle.
The defeated soldiers fled first, but the Eastern Army pursued them closely. When they failed to close the gate in time to collect the defeated soldiers in Meiji City, Cao Ren took advantage of the momentum to attack the city and captured the royal court. The Bafu envoys who came to deliver orders were running around day and night. At this time,
It was only then that the Western Army arrived at Hequ. After all, the Western Army was a step too late.
