Those who arrived at Jinshui were the Han, Hungarian and Baibo coalition forces led by Chen Chong.
After receiving Liu Bei's promise, the coalition forces, which no longer had any worries, left Meiji, entered Shangjun in the south, passed through Baitu and Qiuci, and divided into two groups when they arrived at Fushi.
Even Diaoyin. After the final negotiation with the Liangzhou Qianghu who were entrenched in Qiyuan, the entire Shangjun surrendered without a fight.
It’s not that the Hu people in Shangjun didn’t dare to fight. On the contrary, the Huns grazing in Shangjun were Tugehu and Tiefuhu who were the most ferocious in fighting. However, after the Huns responded to the imperial conscription, all the young men in Shangjun were wiped out, leaving only women and children or old men.
He was young and could not cause any trouble. In addition, Chen Chong deliberately advised Yu Fuluo to show his new mind, and except for collecting food throughout the process, he did not kill or plunder, so the Xiongnu civilians would naturally not cause trouble.
Having achieved their goal, the coalition forces then joined forces to cross the river eastward. After knowing Wang Yi, they crossed the Fen River east of the river and then headed north along the Luliang Mountains to regain the five counties in Zedong. When the coalition forces found the main force of the rebels on the west bank of the Jin River,
At this time, thirty-two days have passed since the agreement between Chen Chong and Liu Bei.
The coalition's team stretched for several miles, and from a distance it was as large as the rebels. When the coalition came closer, the Huns who participated in the rebellion hurriedly moved to the Jinshui River, facing the coalition across the river.
I saw the flag of the King of the Huns hanging high in the center of the coalition army. It has a white eagle spreading its wings with red claws and blue wings. The flag of Zuo Ri Zhu Wang with a bow string binding the sun hangs down on the right, and the flag of King Zuo Xian hangs with a goshawk trampling the sun on the left.
There are two more white flags erected in front of the king's flag. The illiterate Hu people only know that there are four Chinese characters in each. The literate Huyan Yuledu will recognize that the words "Yu He You Ming" and "Shi Zi Reform" are written on them respectively.
Bazi. But no matter who they are, they all understand that the real decisive battle concerning the fate of Bingzhou and the Huns is finally about to begin.
Shan Yu learned the news and left ten thousand people to continue the siege of Longshan. All the other soldiers went north with the coalition forces. There was only a water barrier between the two armies, but no one dared to cross the river and march. Any factors would cause such a large-scale decisive battle.
Chain reaction, Chanyu dare not take risks.
But Chen Chong didn't need to take risks. He was riding Qing Wei at ease. He summoned Zhang Liao and borrowed Xu Huang from Guo Dachou. He asked Han Xian to lead 500 elite cavalry to speed northward, asking them to quickly occupy the Jinshui Stone Bridge:
"As long as this bridge is occupied, the chaos in Bingzhou will be put to rest."
Han Xian had long been convinced by Chen Chong these days and believed this to be true. He immediately accelerated his horse and the five hundred horsemen ran for thirty miles in one breath. When they occupied the stone bridge, the rebels on the west bank were still following the coalition forces. After receiving the news that Han Xian had occupied the stone bridge, Chen Chong let out a long sigh and said to the students who were traveling with him: "People are easily confused, and chaos makes it difficult to be at peace. I have no choice but to use deceit to get this chestnut from the fire.
It’s really not the right path. If you don’t do it as a last resort, don’t follow my plan.”
Chanyu also learned about the fall of Shiqiao immediately. After the last meeting, he had become accustomed to asking Daqiequ for his opinion, and it was the same this time. After thinking about it, Qiequ Zhiyasi analyzed: "Now Yu Fuluo Congmei
Ji came from a long way, and when he looked across the bank, he saw that the soldiers looked sleepy and lacked energy, presumably because of the starry night rescue. Since the soldiers were mentally weak, they would be unable to fight, so Humphrey seized the stone bridge to prevent me from crossing the river and fighting to the death."
"Our army has been resting under Longshan for more than half a month and recuperating for twenty days. What we are doing is to work hard to distinguish with Yuvluo who is the sun of the grassland! Now Yuvluo has raised his troops and is in full swing.
I am afraid that others will not know who is the orthodox Xiongnu, and the Shanyu is elected by the people. All we need to do is seize his royal flag and destroy his majesty. Both Chen Chong and Guo Da can only sigh in vain and let us slaughter them with our knives.
."
Shan Yu happily agreed and recruited candidates: Huchuquan had resisted Xianbei all year round, fought bravely, and was not tolerated by Yufuluo, so he was suitable to be a vanguard in fighting, while Huyanbuan was familiar with battle formations, proficient in Sinology, and had Jinyang to defend the city.
With his experience, he can lead his troops to raid the rear.
Han Xian first sent Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and others holding swords to hide under the bridge. When the Tiefu cavalry came on horseback, he saw the figure from a distance, so he spread iron caltrops back and forth ten feet in front of the bridge. The strength of the cavalry lies in its speed.
, but in this situation, Huchuquan could not force himself to charge. He could only shoot at each other with Han Xian in front of the bridge, while sending people to sweep away the iron caltrops in front of the bridge.
When the Xiongnu's front army was completely cleared, the Xiongnu actually held the reins and rode their horses and were about to fight again. Unexpectedly, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang suddenly led their troops to fight out from both sides of the bridge. They lay low and held giant swords, refusing to fight the Hu people.
It specializes in cutting off human legs and horse legs. The Huns were unprepared for this, and were suddenly attacked. Everyone in the front line was turned upside down, and their limbs were broken. The cavalry in the rear line were also panicked because they did not know the situation.
Han Xian would not miss such a good opportunity. He decisively mounted his horse and shouted: "Follow me to kill the enemy!" The knight behind him shouted in response, and immediately rushed into the enemy's formation, driving the Hun knights in the rear, forcing them to turn around and retreat, shouting.
As soon as Yanyuledu arrived with his troops, he saw that the Tiefu warriors in front broke up and swarmed into the formation. Their morale immediately fell to a low point. Before they could do anything, they were driven back a mile by Han Xian.
The royal flags of Huchuquan and Huyanbuan were lost on the way.
Except for the Battle of Fenyang, the Xiongnu and Han armies were all defeated on the spot in the field battles, without the ability to fight back. This situation was repeated several times, and the morale of the army was greatly dampened. Even though Xu Bu Shanyu had a mind as big as the sea, he could not help but fight against the
The king angrily rebuked: "I have never heard that the wolf king cannot lead the wolf pack to hunt, the goshawk cannot feed its chicks, and the sun cannot melt the ice. If you cannot fight to the death, can you still be buried in the loess?"
After venting his anger, he immediately comforted him and said: "After all, our army is far more numerous than the Han army. As long as we use our bows and arrows with all our strength and move forward with all our strength, how can we not win? But we still need to think more carefully before the battle."
At that moment, he wooed Tao Shengyu, the third commander of Du Bairao, and said: "Bingzhou often says: Only heroes can be friends with heroes, and the three of me and I felt like meeting old friends when we met. It can be said that this sentence was fulfilled. The Black Mountain Army and
I, the Xiongnu, depend on each other. If I lose this battle, I will die and pass the news, and I will be trapped in the Black Mountains and it will be difficult to survive. I hope the three of you will do your best! If I win, I can also give the three of you ten thousand gold!"
The three commanders of Montenegro are all awe-inspiring, but what they think in their hearts is another matter.
But everything Xu Bu Shanyu did was effective. The fighting spirit of the kings burst out again, and the will to die without fighting was once again awakened in the army. He believed that with this will, no matter what kind of enemy he was, he would eventually turn into an enemy.
The stump of the limb under the knife.
The march of the two armies did not stop because of the battle at the stone bridge. The coalition forces on the east bank and the rebels on the west bank moved northward at the same speed, but they would eventually stop in front of the stone bridge. But the decisive battle Xu Bu Shanyu imagined did not come.
, and even what happens next will solidify all the blood of the soldiers on the West Bank.
After arriving at Shiqiao, the coalition forces did not increase their troops or set up defenses. They only sent an envoy to say surrender.
The identity of the messenger was beyond the expectations of everyone in the rebels. It was King Julong who had united all the tribes to support Xubu Shanyu. When Xubu Shanyu met him, for a while he was unable to distinguish him from the old king.
Correspondence. Not only because of his busy life, but also because of the rickety back of King Julong and his tired look. The confidence and love of the past cannot be found in his eyes, leaving him feeling deeply confused.
King Julong was still wearing a silk tiger, leopard and deer robe, but the robe was mostly stained with dust and soil. I don’t know how he spent these days. But King Julong did not complain and said straight to the point: "Cheyou, you have surrendered."
Come on! You have already lost this battle. If you surrender now, you will not lose everything."
Xubu Shanyu looked around at the kings and saw that they all looked horrified. He couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart. He angrily yelled at the Dragon King: "Old King! How can you ruin the morale of our army like this! Are you going to let us bury our bones here?"
”
King Julong slowly shook his head and said sadly: "The morale of our army has been ruined, and it will never be possible to fight with the army again. The Great Chanyu told me that once I enter your tent for two seconds, if you don't surrender immediately, I will
Let you know why life is worse than death. Che You, it’s not too late for you to surrender now.”
Xubu Shanyu was so angry that he pulled out his knife and put it against the wrinkled neck of King Julong, shouting: "My head is here, and I have 200,000 men on my body. How can I surrender without fighting? If Yufuluo is a warrior,
, let him get it by himself! If you continue to undermine the morale of the army, even if you are an old king, I will sacrifice your head to the flag!"
King Julong shook his head and said with a smile: "I am a dying person. The Han people have a saying: When a person is about to die, his words are also good. I won't lie to you. Just go to the bridge and see."
After saying this, he closed his eyes without saying a word, just like a prisoner waiting silently for the butcher's axe, a patient waiting for the last moment of coma when the light returns, and a dead leaf waiting for the bleak autumn wind when it is crumbling. This posture makes uneasiness spread among everyone,
Shanyu was silent for a moment, and finally walked out of the tent with his hands behind his back.
There was no ambush in front of the bridge as expected. Except for the dozens of Han soldiers stationed there, there were eight Huns warriors standing on the east side of the bridge. They held knives in their left hands. The blades showed delicate water patterns in the sunlight. Each of them held a rope in their right hand.
There was a person, either a beautiful woman or a child, who all knelt on the ground with their heads tied around their necks, their heads lowered and trembling, not daring to look up.
Xubu Cheyou was as stiff as a frozen corpse, trembling all over and unable to speak. Those who were tied to the ground by ropes were not only familiar to him, but also his closest relatives, because they were all his three wives, concubines, and five young sons, including
His married wife has been with him for sixteen years. The eldest of the children has just turned twelve and cannot ride a horse, while the youngest is only two years old and cannot speak clearly.
Just when Xu Bu was in confusion, a messenger came on horseback, dismounted, took out a golden sword, and said to the Hun warriors on the bridge: "Two moments have passed. King Zuo Xian has an order to behead him!"
Before everyone on the west bank could react, they saw a samurai in front of the bridge cutting off the heads of the hostages one by one with a sword. There was no scream, and the bodies were separated. The samurai wiped the blood from the blade with a brown cloth and threw the body into Jinshui. The head was in front of the bridge.
They piled up into a corner, and then brought a dozen hostages from behind, making them kneel to the ground like before.
The envoy turned around and boarded the stone bridge, facing the sluggish kings of the West Bank and said loudly: "Xubucheyou overran the throne, murdered the Chanyu, and rebelled against the emperor. It is an unpardonable crime. Now King Zuoxian has the permission of the emperor of Han Dynasty to act on his behalf.
Regarding the incident, I originally intended that the kings would repent and still forgive their crimes. Your Majesty is merciful, but Xu Bu Che You has no intention of repenting, so your Majesty can only kill the three clans to serve as a warning to others."
As soon as he finished speaking, the warrior behind him swung his sword again, and a few waves bloomed in Jinshui, and a few wisps of blood floated out. The heads were piled on the heads again, and the hair was stained with blood. The face of the head was as pale as the moon, and there were many stubs on the head.
Everyone in the household was also heartbroken. In the king's tent on the east bank, Yuvluo saw the rebels on the west bank in commotion and panic. Unconsciously, he was refreshed and his face was rosy. He kept murmuring in a low voice: "Good! Good!" <
/p>
Not only by the stone bridge, but also along the long river bank where the two armies were facing each other, gaps suddenly opened up between the entire coalition formations. The shooters on the west bank were about to draw their bows and shoot arrows, but unexpectedly, civilians with no fighting ability poured out of the gaps.
Women and children called out familiar accents to the rebels on the West Bank.
Many soldiers on the West Bank had already thought of dying, but at this moment they actually saw their mothers and wives waving in the crowd, and being pushed forward by the crowd, without knowing where they were. For a moment, peaceful memories of past herding and farming came to mind.
In the end, their hearts only turned into a strong desire for survival. They forgot that they were on the battlefield and responded to the calls of their families.
This war-weary mood quickly swept across both sides of the Jinshui River like a plague. Many people did not know that they did not know the nature of water. In excitement, they tried to go into the water to reunite with their families. Then they drowned and were pulled ashore by their comrades. The rebel soldiers who could not find their families also looked around.
Standing there, thinking about where my family members are on the other side.
Bai Yao looked at the commotion in the front army from a distance in the rear formation. He breathed a sigh of relief and said to Du Tao Sheng, "I'm afraid this battle is over." Yu Du looked uncertain, while Tao Sheng said, "Our army is here.
It won't help, so we should go south and stay away." The Black Mountain Army quietly left in the chaos.
When Yufuluo saw the situation on the west bank, he was really high-spirited. He kicked his feet and said to Liu Xuan, the new king of Zuo Ri, saying: "Brother, pull the three tribes of Huliba up. I will build a capital for thieves here! Ming Zhengdian
Punishment!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The previous actions were caused by Yu Fuluo's insistence on going his own way, and Liu Xuan and Liu Bao both complained about it. The arrangement at this time was even more unbearable for him, and Liu Xuan couldn't help but turn his head and look at Chen Chong for help.
"That's enough!" Chen Chong couldn't bear it anymore. He turned around and stretched out his hand to support Yu Fuluo, and whispered to King Zuo Xian: "King Zuo Xian, killing the three tribes of Xu Bu, Che and You is enough to deter people. Killing again will cause serious harm to people."
The prisoners in our army are rioting. After establishing authority, it’s time to establish morality!"
Yu Fuluo pushed Chen Chong away, held the knife at his waist and said angrily to him: "What's the pity for the rebels? Just kill them!" Guo Da glanced at Chen Chong from the side and stood silently between the two of them.
In the middle, Yu Fuluo was advised again: "King Zuo Xian, after all, our army now has only 40,000 soldiers, but we have brought 50,000 hostages here. The enemy army is nearly 200,000. Don't take risks. Governor Chen will definitely hit every plan. You
It should be taken seriously."
Yu Fuluo was originally supported by Guo Da, and he had just reached his current status. When Guo Da spoke up, he had to pay attention to his opinions, and calmed down for a moment. Yu Fuluo returned to his casual demeanor, touched the red eagle golden crown on his head, and smiled at Chen Chong: "Everything
It's all in accordance with the wishes of the prefect. It's just..." He hesitated for a moment, and finally said sharply: "It's just Huliba, Cheyou, Guhu, and Ye'eryi who I will kill!"
Chen Chong breathed a sigh of relief, thanked Guo Da, and said to Fu Luo: "This is the proper meaning, to forgive everyone, but also to kill the culprit, otherwise how can we rectify people's hearts?"
He immediately rode Qing Wei and rode to the stone bridge. The military morale of the Hu people on the west bank had collapsed. When they saw him riding alone, wearing a silver seal and three green ribbons on his waist, they also recognized that this was the two thousand stones of the Han Dynasty.
The high-ranking officials consciously made way for him, revealing Xubu Cheyou and the kings who were stunned in the formation.
Chen Chong only knew two of the kings present, but he was not here for the kings. He just looked around at the endless sea of people on the west bank, faced the thousands of barbarian soldiers, and solemnly said: "Chen Chong is here.
I came here just to eliminate the military disaster."
