This winter of the fourth year of Xingwu was destined to be full of ups and downs for the people of the world.
At the end of November, the brutal Xianbei cavalry plundered the entire Dai County.
Daijun has many mountains and grasslands. It is sandwiched between the Yanshan Mountains and the Taihang Mountains. It has undulating mountains but also numerous plains.
In later generations, this area was the area from Zhangjiakou to Datong, especially Yangyuan County, Yu County, Guangling County and other places affiliated to Zhangjiakou City. They were all hills and large grasslands.
Despite the fact that these places were relatively barren and tended to become deserts in later generations, the Han Dynasty two thousand years ago was surrounded by green mountains and green waters, surrounded by two rivers.
Yeshui and Qiyi water merged together, and eventually flowed eastward and southward, passing through Jixian County, which later became Beijing City, and then entered the sea from Tianjin.
Under the high slopes of the rolling hills, Wuhuan people were grazing cattle and sheep in the pastures. On the high slopes, thousands of troops and horses overlooked the ground.
Pufulu, Lord Wuhuan of Daijun, looked indifferently at the Xianbei cavalry at the foot of the mountain. His tribe was not very powerful among the Wuhuan tribes, but they occupied a very important position.
Sandwiched between Bingzhou and Youzhou, there is a vast pasture to the north. The Xianbei people sometimes go south to invade. The two sides are not incompatible with each other, but whoever is stronger will rely on whoever cooperates with the Huns and Xianbei people to go south to plunder the Han people.
It's not like they haven't done this before.
But at this time, Gongsun Zan rose to prominence in Youzhou and had close contacts with Wuhuan's most powerful unit, Nanlou. Pufulu himself was also doing business with Gongsun Zan. Both parties hired cavalry and traded grain, oil, salt, and wine.
etc.
As the business grew bigger and bigger, the Wuhuan people became more and more inseparable from Gongsun Zan. Therefore, the Wuhuan people in northern Youzhou's attitude towards the Han people has naturally returned to the past, and they are more dependent on the Han Dynasty.
It's just a matter of dependence. If the Xianbei people pass by their territory and burn, kill, and plunder the Han people, the Wuhuan people will not be merciful and help them.
What's more, even if he wanted to take action, Pufulu didn't have the strength. His tribe only had more than 4,000 tribes, with a population of 50,000 to 60,000, and only 10,000 available troops. To rush down the mountain to fight the Xianbei people now was to seek death.
Fortunately, Kuitou was also sensible and knew not to cause trouble. He only ransacked the Han people's city in Daijun and pretended not to have seen the Wuhuan people in the wild grasslands.
The mighty cavalry galloped south, passed through Dong Anyang and Dai County, and entered the Laishui River to drink in Ma Zhuo County!
"What?"
In Bohai County, Gongsun Zan was shocked when he heard the news of the Xianbei invasion.
He never expected that at this juncture, the Xianbei people in northern Saibei would suddenly attack his Youzhou!
Tian Yu said in a deep voice: "General, you should immediately withdraw your troops at this time, and at the same time contact Master Dongfang and Master Nanlou to the north and ask them to send troops to assist, otherwise Youzhou will be in danger."
"withdraw troops?"
Gongsun Zan hesitated for a moment and asked him to give up the small half of Jizhou he had already obtained. It was equivalent to eating meat. It was not easy for him to spit it out again.
Tian Yu persuaded: "General, if you don't make up your mind, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even go back home."
"No, if we leave now, there will be nothing left."
Gongsun Zan gritted his teeth and said, "Send people to Xianbei in the east and Wuhuan in Nanlou to ask them to send troops. No matter how much money you have, you will be fine."
Tian Yu said earnestly: "But they are too far away. By the time they send troops, Youzhou will have already become a place of war. And I predict that Yuan Shao will take action. If the general doesn't leave quickly, Yuan Shao may cut off his retreat."
"this......"
Gongsun Zan hesitated for a moment. He had lived on the frontier for a long time, so he knew that it would be too late to send people to contact the Xianbei and Wuhuannanlou tribes in the east. By the time their troops arrived, Youzhou would have been occupied by the enemy.
And Tian Yu is right. If Yuan Shao suddenly sends troops at this moment to cut off his retreat route back to Youzhou, wait until Zhuojun is occupied by the Xianbei people, and then go south to attack him together, I'm afraid...
"General, make your decision."
"Yes, how can we, the people outside the Great Wall, travel around the world if we can't even go back home?"
"If we hesitate any longer, Yuan Shao will send troops to attack us."
In the lobby, generals such as Tian Kai, Shan Jing, Guan Jing, Gongsun Fan, etc. all spoke out. Their families were all in Youzhou, how could they not be anxious?
Gongsun Zan hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "This is the only way, second brother, you stay here to guard, I will lead the army back."
Gongsun Fan cupped his hands and said, "Wei!"
At that time, Gongsun Zan ordered his younger brother Gongsun Fan to serve as the governor of Bohai, leading 10,000 troops to station in Bohai, while he led a large army back to defend.
Now Gongsun Zan's layout in Youzhou is that his younger brother Gongsun Yue is the prefect of Zhuojun and guards Zhuojun, his subordinate Zou Dan is the prefect of Yuyang and guards Yuyang, and his subordinate Wangmen is the prime minister of Hejian and guards Hejian.
In fact, his troops have been severely dispersed. If Liu Bei, the larger enemy in the south, was not there, Yuan Shao would have defeated them one by one.
However, Gongsun Zan is not a fool. He was able to gradually encroach on so much of Yuan Shao's territory. In fact, he knew that Yuan Shao was afraid of Liu Bei, and there was nothing he could do about it, so he pressed forward step by step, constantly weakening Yuan Shao's power.
Who would have thought that under such circumstances, a Xianbei from central China would suddenly appear to cause trouble?
Youzhou's rear area was seriously empty. Although he had a good relationship with Xianbei and Wuhuan, he had to spend money to hire him every time he went there. If he didn't spend money, the Xianbei and Wuhuan people in the east would not help him fight for no reason.
Therefore, in order to prevent his hometown from being attacked by surprise, Gongsun Zan had to return to defense immediately.
Almost as soon as Gongsun Zan was preparing to go north, Yuan Shao also learned the news. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time. After more than half a year of planning, Liu Bei was transferred from Qingzhou, and the princes in the south fell into war with Yuan Shu. Xianbei went south.
, he finally got his chance.
"Hahahahaha!"
In the Anping Kingdom, in the mansion of the prefect of Xindu County, Yuan Shao sat on the throne, looking at the many counselors and generals in the audience, he laughed and said: "Gongsun Zan has indeed fallen into the trap, he is already preparing to withdraw his troops."
"Congratulations to Duke Ming, congratulations to Duke Ming."
Everyone congratulated him one after another.
This strategy was implemented for more than half a year, and it finally worked.
Xu You said: "At first, although Gongsun Zan fell into the trap, his strength cannot be underestimated, so he still has to arrange it carefully."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "It doesn't matter, I have already prepared it."
Yuan Shao touched his chin beard. At nearly fifty years old, he was even more majestic than when he was young. He was like an ageless lion, roaring arrogantly at the young lions who dared to challenge him.
Many people think that Yuan Shao was only in his forties when he died, but we need to know one thing, that is, Cao Cao was born in 155, and even Cao Cao is 42 years old this year.
Yuan Shao is several years older than Cao Cao, between four and eight years old. Even if he takes the middle number, five or six years older, he is already about 47-48 years old.
So when Yuan Shao died, he was actually in his fifties, probably around 53 to 54 years old.
Now that I'm nearly fifty, I still don't look old.
When the wind was against him, Yuan Shao looked around and looked like a hero.
Xu You asked in confusion: "How did you plan to deal with the enemy at first?"
Yuan Shao laughed loudly: "Zi Hui, tell Zi Yuan."
Liu Hui smiled and said: "Ming Gong asked me to bribe the Wang family with a large sum of money, and the Wang family has decided to defect to Ming Gong."
King's Gate?
Many counselors and generals were shocked.
This person was a confidant of Gongsun Zan. After withdrawing his troops from Jizhou, Gongsun Zan gradually encroached on the Hejian Kingdom and made Wang Men serve as the Prime Minister of Hejian.
If he betrays Gongsun Zan, it will indeed be a fatal blow to Gongsun Zan.
"Yes, the Wang Clan has surrendered to me."
Yuan Shao looked down at the crowd and said loudly: "Everything is ready, we will send out troops tomorrow. After we send out troops, the Wangmen will pretend to be defeated, and we will rush from Hejian Kingdom into the Bohai Sea to cut off Gongsun Zan's retreat."
"only!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
"Where is Yan Liang!"
Yuan Shao said again.
"The end is here!"
Yan Liang stood up and walked down the hall.
Yuan Shao threw out the military order: "I order you to lead 10,000 troops as the vanguard, take Zhangwu, and occupy the Hutuo River ferry!"
"only!"
Yan Liang picked up the military token and returned to his position.
"Where is Ju Yi!"
"The end will be here."
"I order you to lead 30,000 people as the front army and attack from Lecheng to Nanpi."
"only!"
"Where is Gao Lan!"
"The end will be here."
"I order you to lead 50,000 people as the central army and attack Fuyang from Chengping."
"only!"
"Other generals, go north with me. I want Gongsun Zan to die in the Bohai Sea!"
Yuan Shao stood up, like a lion waking up from sleep, finally letting out a terrifying cry to the world.
The general trend of the world seems like countless turbulent rivers, flowing in one direction and converging into a sea.
In the end, which river takes the dominant position and becomes the master of the sea depends on its own ability.
Overt and covert fights, conspiracies and intrigues are nothing more than big waves washing over the sand, dragons and snakes rising up together.
...
...
Yuan Shao laid out his plans in Jizhou and planned for a long time.
Chen Mu, however, is planning for the Three Koreas.
When the heavy snow of winter quietly covered the land of Sanhan, the pure white snow was stained with a bright red color.
Ten thousand troops from Qingzhou arrived in Sanhan and were temporarily stationed in Moru Country. The entire Moru Country has a population of only more than 2,000 households, about 8,000 people, and the number of young men is only 2,000. They are unable to resist at all.
.
The king of Moru Kingdom, while listening to Chen Mu's words that we are common ancestors, saw the swords on the waists of Sun Guan Yinli and others, so he obediently agreed to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan.
I study history in order to speak to you, the backward remnants, and tell you that we all bleed the same blood.
I came here with an army and a steel knife in my hand. I want you to sit down and listen to me.
This is called convincing people with virtue.
Surrendering the Moru Kingdom does not mean that you have to fight them one by one.
The country of Moru is just a hiding place.
Chen Mu's next target is King Benhan.
Benhan and Chenhan each have a Han king, who is held by a Mahan.
There are particularly many ethnic minorities in the Three Koreas, including survivors of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, Qin people, Han people, Fuyu people, Uji people, Woju people, and even Japanese people from the island country.
In the chain of contempt, the more sturdy Fuyu people, Huiqi people, Woju people, and Mohe people formed the Mahan. The survivors of the Yin and Shang were at the bottom of the Mahan, followed by the Bianhan and Chenhan composed of Qin and Han people.
, the Japanese have the lowest status.
Nowadays, the King Chen of Benhan is served by the king of Gaya Kingdom. Various ethnic groups live in the three Han lands. Although most of Benhan are Qin people and Han people, the king of Gaya Kingdom is a filthy person. Behind him is the largest filthy person in Mahan.
The newly formed country was supported by the Guiguo Kingdom, so he took charge of Benhan and became the King of Benhan.
Gaya Kingdom is located seventy miles northwest of Moru Kingdom, almost between Miryang City and Gimhae City in later Korea. Samhan is such a big place, but it has small temples, small demons, strong winds, and many shallow ponds. There are many kings along the way.
, you have to go through seven or eight countries.
Fortunately, there were people from the Moru Kingdom to act as internal agents. The five hundred people were broken into pieces and divided into dozens of groups. Then, like divine soldiers descending from the sky, they arrived in the territory of the Gaya Kingdom. In the capital of Gaya Kingdom, there were more than ten thousand soldiers each.
In the small town where people lived, in the frightened eyes of the people of Gaya, they rushed into the palace of the King of Gaya and captured him in public.
There are more than 70 countries in the entire Three Koreas, with thousands of people in small countries and tens of thousands in big countries, but almost no country has a city. Basically, a few fences are enough, and the number of guards is even less, and their
The weapon was actually a wooden stick, and he had no ability to resist.
With almost no bloodshed, the king of Gaya was captured. At the same time, another group of people went west and entered Sanggyeongbukdo in later Korea, and easily defeated King Chen there.
Since Korea in later generations is now the four Han counties of the Han Dynasty, the area occupied by the three Koreas is actually equivalent to the entire territory of Korea in later generations.
Among them, Mahan occupies the largest area, almost covering Seoul area, North Chungcheong Province, South Chungcheong Province, North Jeolla Province, South Jeolla Province, etc., while Benhan is in Sanggyongnam-do in Busan area, and Jinhan is in Daegu area.
In Sanggyeongbuk-do, the three parties cannot be said to be a tripartite, they just live a very primitive tribal life.
The arrival of the Qingzhou Army is obviously to crush the level, because according to the records of "Three Kingdoms" and "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", these places are just villages with no cities and almost no defensive power. The people's life is very difficult, and it is not easy to survive, let alone
What a fight for hegemony.
Chen Mu walked along the way, and he was quite fortunate that the place he traveled through was in Puyin, Jizhou. If he were allowed to travel to a place like this and want to dominate without any foundation, it would be a dream and a life worse than life.
die.
After all, in history, Ma Han once overestimated his capabilities and challenged the Wei state, killing Gong Zun, the prefect of Daifang, angering Cao Wei, and was almost destroyed by the new prefect Wang Qi with the power of a county.
You can imagine how weak this useless place is.
After dealing with King Benhan and King Chenhan, more than twenty countries in the two places were suddenly shocked. At the juncture when every king was in danger, Chen Mu asked King Molu to call everyone together in the name of the descendants of China.
Gathered in the capital of Jialuo Kingdom.
It is said to be the capital, but it is actually a small village by the river. Gaarag Kingdom is located on the east bank of Gayagejin, across the river from Moru Kingdom across the river. In another two thousand years, it will be the famous Busan.
It's a pity that it is just an old fishing village now.
More than twenty monarchs gathered here. Before they accepted the invitation, they had already formed alliances. Each of them brought some security forces from their respective countries to form an army of more than 10,000 people, coming in force.
This is not all they have. After all, Benhan and Chenhan still have a population of more than 200,000. If they mobilize all their young men, they still have an army of 30,000 to 50,000.
However, limited by technology, the soldiers had iron weapons but no armor, and they had very little battlefield experience.
But even so, it gave them great courage to come and participate in this conference.
Snowflakes were falling, and in the courtyard of one of the best residences in the fishing village, this was the house of the King of Jialuo. It was a typical Qin style, with strength as its beauty. There was no courtyard, just a house standing there, with stone pillars below it raised from the ground.
There are steps to go up.
The interior of the house is far different from the north-south orientation of Han Chinese buildings. Han Chinese buildings can be understood as vertical rectangles. If the owner receives guests, he sits in the north and faces south. This is also true for palace buildings.
The Qin people may be from the Guanzhong area, and they like to build houses with east and west sides, that is, a horizontal rectangle. The owner sits in the west and faces the east. This means that the owner cannot sit north and face south when sitting on the main seat.
When you sit down below, you can only sit west and face east, with people sitting in rows on the left and right below.
Chen Mu has not yet attended. Below, on the left and right sides are the kings of the Moru Kingdom and the Jialuo Kingdom. Then in order are the Gaya Kingdom, the Gouxie Kingdom, the Salubusi Kingdom, the Zilimulu Kingdom, the Goulu Kingdom, the Silu Kingdom, and the Wan Kingdom.
Junmi states, such as Zhan state, Zhouxian state, Mayan state, Youyou state, etc.
Looking at the names of these countries, you can see that many of them are from Shandong, some are from Chu, and some are from Yan. Because most of them were exiled overseas during the late Qin Dynasty, the languages here are all Qin, but the specific details are different.
For example, the countries with Lu among them speak the elegant dialect of Shandong, those with Chu speak the dialect of Chu in the south, and many others speak Youyan Mandarin.
Everyone gathered together, talking a lot, and they were full of worries about the recent abduction of the two Korean kings. After all, although these countries together still have some power, if they are scattered, the strength is too weak, and each country can use it.
The number of troops ranged from a few hundred to a few thousand, and I heard that those people were fully armed, so I was afraid that they were coming with bad intentions and were frightening.
"Kings Benhan and Chenhan were kidnapped, but we don't even know who the enemy is. It's terrible."
"What do they want to do? Are they coming to invade us?"
"Lu Renyi, it was you who summoned us here. Why don't you say something?"
"And Lu Gouyuan, why don't you say anything?"
The monarchs all looked at the monarchs of Molu and Jialuo. Many of them were Qin people, so they followed the Qin people's naming habits, including the branches, rows, items, animals, etc. Anyway, there are many monarchs here.
There are a lot of names for ducks, cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs, which are quite common.
What's more special is that the Gaya Kingdom here will unify Benhan in a few years. The Seonava Kingdom, the predecessor of Silla Kingdom, will unify Chenhan.
By the time of the Western Jin Dynasty, Maharaja and Han were unified into the Baekje Kingdom, and the four Han counties were taken away by the Buyeo people to establish Goguryeo. In this way, Silla, Gaya, Baekje, and Goguryeo formed the four main countries of the Korean Peninsula after the Western Jin Dynasty.
In 532 AD, the Gaya Kingdom was destroyed by the Silla Kingdom, officially starting the Korean Three Kingdoms era.
Originally Goguryeo was the most powerful among the three kingdoms, but it offended the Tang Empire and was destroyed by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. As a result, Silla rose and unified the Korean Peninsula, becoming the ancestor of modern Koreans.
Therefore, to put it bluntly, if Chen Mu slaughters all the people here, the country will be destroyed.
But that was two thousand years later. Nowadays, most of these people are Qin and Han people. Many people admit that their ancestors are from China. Unlike those who stole the country, they have long forgotten their ancestors, so so far, they should not be eradicated.
when.
And just when everyone was talking about it and had already joined forces to force the kings of Moru and Jialuo to talk, there was a creak and the door suddenly opened.
Everyone looked outside the door.
Then I saw a handsome man in his twenties, with a white face and a short beard, walking in. He was accompanied by several guards.
Seeing everyone looking at him sideways, Chen Mu unconsciously touched his chin. He actually didn't want to grow a beard because it made him look older. But there were no razors in the Han Dynasty, so it was not easy to shave cleanly. There was no other way but to
Try to keep it as nice as possible.
In another year, he will be thirty years old, and his son is almost five years old. Time flies so fast.
Random thoughts were running through my mind.
The steps are not slow.
Slowly walked to the main seat and sat down cross-legged.
Looking at the many monarchs in the audience who stretched their necks to look at him.
