Chapter 36: Raid
Soon Qin Xuan didn't care about Murong Hyun's affairs, and for some reason, Qin Xuan and Wu Xiaozhen and the others were sent to another team, and they were walking on another road, not with Murong Hyun.
The pro-soldiers all rely on the main general to live, and the expenses of the pro-soldiers are borne by the main general, so the main general can do whatever he wants, even if he wants to jump into the river in the cold day, he can only jump hand in hand. Murong Hyun had other things to arrange for them, and Qin Xuan and they had to obey orders.
The taste of rushing immediately is not pleasant, but no matter how uncomfortable it is, you have to grit your teeth to hold on. Qin Xuan had been bumpy for a while and was used to it, and the others were not pampered. After all the calculations, there was only one Murong Ming who was very excited. But no matter how excited he was, it was useless, and there was a cousin Murong Qi staring at him and not letting him mess around.
This time, Qin Xuan didn't have the treatment of living in a tent by herself, this time the request was to hurry as much as possible, so at night, except for Murong Qi and Murong Ming, the other soldiers either slept on the ground, or squeezed with their comrades, or fell asleep next to Murong Ming and Murong Qi's request, of course, nothing else, just to facilitate protection in the past.
Murong Ming asked Qin Xuan to sleep beside him. Murong Qi naturally would not refuse.
Qin Xuan, under the sympathetic gaze of Wu Xiaozhen, packed up his things and went to Murong Ming's side. Murong Ming's escape is known to everyone, and in the eyes of everyone, this Xiao Langjun is simply a demon king of the world. This time, Murong Hyun put his own personal soldiers by Murong Ming's side, which inevitably had no intention of protecting him.
It is the duty of a pro-soldier to obey orders, but what about this with children......
Hehe, hurry up and hide!
Qin Xuan stood in front of Murong Ming with a puzzled expression, only to see Murong Ming looking at her and smiling.
"Villain......" Qin Xuan opened his mouth and prepared to salute.
"Okay, okay, don't be so mother-in-law." Murong Ming waved his hand, looking completely uninterested in the false ceremony. He pointed to the position next to him, "I can't sleep, you can talk to me." ”
There have been many roads along the way, Qin Xuan is fine, but Murong Ming may be a little unbearable at this age, and he has run all the way from Dragon City to Miyun Mountain, where Duan is located, this road is really not easy to walk. Someone else was the first to lie on the mattress and fall asleep, but the little boy in front of him was not like this.
“…… Shiro-kun, I still have to hurry these days, so I'd better rest early. Wait until the matter of the section is over, and the villain will say to Lang Jun again, okay? Qin Xuan said.
"Do you treat me like a child?" When Murong Ming heard this, the smile on his original face suddenly dispersed, leaving only a cloud of anger.
Qin Xuan lowered her head, "The villain doesn't dare, it's just that it's too hard to hurry." ”
"What is that?" Murong Ming waved his hand, "I want to hear the story!" ”
Yes, it's still a child.
Qin Xuan had to sit down beside him and casually find something to talk to him. The Murong family was sinicized early, and he didn't buy it at all if he took some of the three emperors and five emperors, as for the saint's past, Qin Xuan felt that maybe Murong Ming knew more than her. Qin Xuan can only recall what Qin's father said about fighting with the surrounding Wuhu in the early years, or talk to him about the Xiongnu and Donghu back then.
Donghu is the predecessor of Xianbei, at the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, Donghu was driven to the east by the Xiongnu Shan Yu, and since then it has been divided into two pieces, one is Wuhuan, and the other is Xianbei. Later, Wuhuan was defeated by Wei, and Xianbei took the opportunity to occupy all the old land of Wuhuan.
Murong Ming naturally read those Han books, but when he heard about Xianbei, he was still quite interested. Xianbei does not have his own writing, everything is passed down from generation to generation by legends, and history can only rely on the notes of the Han people. However, if you have the heart, you may not be able to translate it. There are many volumes of historical records, and just turning the pages is enough to make people irritated.
Murong Ming's eyes were wide, one hand was propped up on his knee, and he listened carefully.
"The Huns are cowards." When Murong Ming heard her cry about Huo Quzhi and Wei Qing's beating of the Huns, 'Losing my Qilian Mountain, making my women colorless', he unceremoniously opened his mouth to complain.
"It's not common for generals like Huo Quzhi and Wei Qing to come by." Qin Xuan saw Murong Ming listening for a long time, and poured him a glass of water. The buttermilk and other things on the road were all ready, but it was about to go to bed, and he was still drinking buttermilk, Qin Xuan felt that in a few days, maybe Murong Ming would be able to roll around with his cheeks covered.
"So do you say that the Han people still have such a genius now?" Murong Ming had naturally heard of the names of these two geniuses, and the uncle and nephew were simply geniuses, and for so many years, they had never been able to compare to them. Murong Ming continued his words as he spoke, "There should be no more, if there is really such a genius, why do those people from the Sima family still do miscellaneous labor for the Huns and the Qian." And people all ran to the Yangtze River to drink those strange soups. ”
Qin Xuan listened to Murong Ming's nagging self, "Last time, the eldest brother spent a lot of gold to buy some tea from the south, and it's not leaf powder, I drank it so badly, it's too bitter." Why do Han people like to drink it? ”
As he spoke, he supported his face with his arms, the children of the Murong family were precocious and grew up fast. But no matter how fast he grows, the twelve-year-old boy still has a little baby fat on his face.
"Back to Shiro-kun, the tea soup can clean and regulate the stomach, and it can make people feel refreshed, although the taste is not good, but as long as the method is right, the tea soup is still very delicious." Qin Xuan couldn't laugh or cry at this child's temper.
"I won't drink it." Murong Ming said with a face.
Murong Qi passed by Murong Ming's tent, he remembered Murong Hyun's entrustment to him before leaving, he stopped and looked inside the tent.
Now Murong Qi can't see what the situation of his uncle's family is, and the brothers look like the previous generation, they are all brothers and want to fight to the death, but if you look closely, it doesn't look like this.
However, Murong Qi didn't dare to ask too much about the affairs of his uncle's family. His father was cautious all his life, so he fished out his life from his brother-in-law. For his uncle's family affairs, he didn't dare to speak even if he had a hundred guts.
Murong Qi saw Murong Ming leaning on the mattress, his eyes closed, he should have fallen asleep. A young man bowed his head and took off his boots, wiped his face and hands again, and covered him with a fox fur. He looked at it, relieved, and was about to leave. I heard a hum behind me.
After Qin Xuan covered Murong Ming with a fox fur used as a quilt, he came out, and he didn't stay long, and as soon as he came out, he saw a tall man standing there.
"......" Murong Qi turned around and saw Qin Xuan. He had seen this pro-soldier in Murong Hyun's place. This young man has beautiful eyebrows, and he is very eye-catching in a kind of rough man. Murong Qi saw it a few times, so he naturally recognized it.
"Shiro-kun is asleep?" Murong Qi asked.
"Yes." Qin Xuan stood still and replied with his crossed hands.
Murong Qi remembered some rumors he had heard, "I heard that you are a very powerful person, and you can even fight Xiong Zhen with your bare hands. ”
"Xiong Zhen......" When Qin Xuan heard Murong Qi's words, he knew that it was another Bastard stinky boy blowing around. The villain didn't ......"
"Whether there is one or not, you will know it on the battlefield." Murong Qi thought about it, and still felt that it was good to mention such a sentence, otherwise good people would go crooked for no reason. Speaking of his cousin, it's also weird, that kind of Han people's preference just sounds like goosebumps all over people's bodies, good men don't go to war, but they are like women, and do that kind of thing with men on the couch!
It's also a shame that the Han people still use this as an elegance!
"You are a capable person, as long as you have the ability, it is easy to get ahead." Murong Qi said, "Don't bring in the bad problems of those Han people, you must know that Xianbei people are different from Han people." ”
With that, he turned around and left, leaving Qin Xuan alone to stand there and touch his head.
"......" Qin Xuan was not stupid, she thought for a while, and remembered what Pei Minzhi had reminded, she touched her head, thinking that if there was a big battle this time, she would be able to remove the rumors from her head.
In the next few days, when the army came up on a rapid march, Murong Ming almost ate two steamed cakes at night and immediately fell asleep on the mattress, and he didn't have the spirit to ask Qin Xuan to tell him a story and fall asleep.
When they arrived at Miyun Mountain, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This time they were not fighting head-on, but sneak attacks, which focused on calculation, and laid an ambush in advance on the road where the other side wanted to pass guò, so as to have a plan or not. If it's too late, everyone has passed, and a ghost is still sneaking up, is it possible to beat people behind their butts?
Before the arrival of the army, several waves of scouts had been sent to spy on the army, and it had been learned that the Zhao army would pass by the nearby road in two days.
Qin Xuan didn't know anything else, anyway, the news from above was that a sneak attack would be organized two days later, and it was naturally Zhao Jun who came to retaliate.
Shi Zhao's emperor was originally a slave of the Qian, because he was sold into slavery by the Han when he was young, so he hated the Han people very much, and his temper was also very short-tempered, and he couldn't listen to the slightest disagreement with himself. Originally, the Murong Department robbed the spoils of the Zhao army, and after Emperor Shi Zhao heard about it, he decided to send troops to attack Liaodong, and the ministers in the court said that it was not yet the time to attack Liaodong. Emperor Zhao did not listen, insisted on sending troops, and claimed to be hundreds of thousands of troops, intending to take Liaodong in one fell swoop.
Who knew that Liaodong not only did not take it, but also lost a lot of lives. Only the emperor's adopted son was left among the generals who went to Liaodong to support Zhao's war against Jin.
This defeat, in the eyes of Emperor Shi Zhao, is simply a great shame! Therefore, Duan Tuyan showed a tendency to cooperate with Zhao Guo to deal with the Murong Ministry, and Zhao Guo's side immediately came over.
Qin Xuan hid on the slope of the mountain road on horseback, the weather in this place was not much different from Liaodong, Qin Xuan's exposed hands were already a little stiff and frozen, and after moving for a while, it was already dark all around. In this era when there are no lights, when it gets dark at night and the moon does not come out, it is dark all around, and it is almost all done by the power of human ears.
Because it was a night attack, it was impossible to make a big noise. So the horses' hooves were wrapped in cloth, and everyone had a twig in their mouths to prevent their voices from alarming the enemy.
Qin Xuan bit a branch in her mouth, and gently brushed her palm on Xiao Hei's mane, Xiao Hei was not irritable at all, as if he could understand the surrounding situation, and he didn't move at all.
Looking down from the top of the mountain, you can still see the bonfire in Zhao Guoying's tent, and Murong Ming was already waiting a little impatiently on the horse. These people have also eaten rice, and they don't start when they dig the stove to cook, but they wait here, how long will they have to wait before they start?
As soon as he moved, Murong Qi next to him immediately put the horse lance in his hand in front of him, and he couldn't see clearly at night, but with his keen intuition, Murong Ming knew that he had a weapon in front of him.
The young man frowned unwillingly, so he had to wait patiently.
In the end, he is still young, and he is not as good as Murong Hyun. Murong Qi thought to himself. Compared with Murong Hyun, Murong Ming is still a little tender both in normal times and on the battlefield.
I don't know how long I waited, but the mountain wind gusted, almost blowing through the fur fur on the cavalry and taking away the body temperature under the fur. Eventually, the campfires were reduced to a circle outside the tent to prevent the wild wolves from harassing them.
"Smack." Murong Qi waited for a while, the mountain was extremely silent, and he could almost hear his heartbeat. Sure that the people in the tent were asleep, he clapped his hands.
The slap was very clear in the night wind, and as soon as he slapped, the herald quickly gave the order: all men were ready to attack.
Qin Xuan, Bi Dezhen and the others immediately set up a formation around Murong Ming, and all of them cheered up their spirits. Qin Xuan clenched the horse lance in her hand, and the ring head knife also learned from other Xianbei people to hang on the back of her waist, once there was a situation, she could pull out the knife as long as she was handy.
"Drink!" Murong Qi, who was in the lead, suddenly shouted, and after his sound, it was followed by the dash of the cavalry around him.
Raids, as long as they are successful, are simply tried-and-true tricks. Qin Xuan followed Murong Ming and rushed ahead. Little Black leaped over the bonfire, trampling the shouting Karma soldier under the horse's hooves and crushing his throat bone.
Qin Xuan's horse lance stabbed into the throat of the Shi Zhao soldier who was about to draw a knife to kill the horse in front of the horse, she was not a murderer, she was not interested in how to toss people and kill the other party crying bitterly, and it was impossible to do so in an emergency situation on the battlefield. Chopping and picking, Qin Xuan made these movements like a cloud, and the red tassel hanging on the horse lance in her hand drew a beautiful arc in the raging fire with her movements, and a string of red blood beads flew by.
The collision of thousands of cavalry quickly caused chaos in the camp of the Qianren, and even Qin Xuan saw someone running out bare-butted. Seeing this, the Xianbei cavalry immediately galloped forward and beheaded the men under their horses.
These people are not seen by them as living beings, but as trophies of war, and if they receive enough heads, they can also receive rewards and even land.
Human blood flowed down the mallet, and the inside of the palm was slippery and sticky, and it was almost impossible to hold. After stabbing the horse lance into the enemy's chest with one last blow, Qin Xuan snorted heavily. With his backhand, he pulled out the ring knife from behind his waist and slashed at the neck of the Qiang soldier.
Qin Xuan's favorite part to stab is the neck, the human head has hard bones, and if you cut it a few times, the knife will be scrapped. Wherever it was soft, she slashed it, and with a poof, the knife in her hand swept past the chest of the other soldier, and a blood flower bloomed. She didn't look back, and followed Murong Ming directly.
This is the first time Murong Ming has gone into battle to kill the enemy, he is extremely excited, he is not very old, but he can be ruthless, and he is not soft at all as a young man of this age.
Out of the corner of his eye, Qin Xuan saw him neatly cut off the head of a Qianren. A foot-high blood gushed from his headless neck, and he collapsed to the ground like mud.
Blood, as long as it starts, it is almost impossible to stop it.
Sure enough, Qin Xuan followed, and saw that this young man was like killing a god, seeing people killing people, seeing Buddhas and killing Buddhas.
When he rushed into the most central tent, Murong Ming saw the back of the man who was riding on a horse and wanted to flee in a hurry, and laughed and said, "It's that useless thing from the Sima family!" ”
He is talking about a general here, Murong Ming has been loved by his father since he was a child, and he has also met many people by Murong Kui's side, he has an excellent memory and will never forget it. So I recognized the person at a glance.
He remembered that that person had come to see his father several times on behalf of Shi Zhao's Emperor of the Qiang people, and he was surnamed Sima, and the emperor of the Han people had the same surname, so Murong Ming was deeply impressed.
When Murong Qi heard this, he immediately looked at Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan understood, and immediately pulled down the bow and arrow in his hand, only to hear a swishing sound of breaking through the air, and immediately the person fell in response.
"Well done!" Murong Ming laughed.
Wait until dawn, and the morning light will shine in the east. The camp of the Karma was already in tatters. The corpses were placed on the ground, and the war horses without their owners ran to places where there was grass to eat grass and drink water.
Qin Xuan got off his horse and entered the Chinese army's tent with Murong Ming.
The tent was a mess, with patches of blood and fragments of corpses mixed together. Last night there was a surprise attack, and the killing was dark, and almost everyone was killed. Countless people were trampled to death by horses' hooves. It's inevitable that an ugly death will appear.
"Oops-oops-" The man who was shot off the horse by Qin Xuan with an arrow last night hugged his injured leg and moaned vigorously. Qin Xuan knew that Murong Ming meant to be captured alive, so he just shot him in the leg, as long as the wound was properly handled, there would be no worry about his life.
"Sure enough, it's you, Sima Shi." Murong Ming squatted down and looked at the man and smiled, the smile on his face showing full malice.
"It's not enough for your family to wear green clothes in front of the Huns and the Qian, and they are still pawns for the Qian?" Murong Ming didn't speak lightly, he opened his mouth to reveal people's scars, and when he heard it, Murong Qi's face changed, and he stretched out his hand to pull this cousin back.
Emperor Sima was taken captive by the Huns, and took the clan to wear green clothes in front of the Hu people, which only waiters would wear. When Murong Ming said this, it was obvious that he looked down on Sima Shi.
"I'm not wrong." Murong Ming said well, but he was pulled away by his cousin.
Qin Xuan was also a little embarrassed at this meeting, she was also Han. Although I was very uninterested in the Sima clan in my heart, when I mentioned it, I would inevitably have a fever on my face.
For the Han people, the emperor was captured and wore green clothes to pour wine for the Hu people, which was simply a shame and disgrace to the ancestors.
When she was a child, it was already chaotic, and it was getting more and more chaotic. Originally, it was just a contest between the queen and the clan, the crown prince was killed, and the queen was poisoned by the clan. It seems that the situation has been suppressed, and who knows that the next trouble will be unstoppable. In the back, few people like this peaceful situation, and they can't wait for the chaos to get better.
Liu's Xiongnu also looked at the chaos in the Central Plains, so they took the opportunity to take the momentum.
Qin Xuan would listen to Qin's father say that the Hu people were able to gain power, thanks to the Han people. It's not that the Han people themselves are weak to the outside, but they still fight on their own, so that the steppe wolves have an opportunity to take advantage of.
But what's the use of knowing, the Han people themselves don't want this nine-grade Zhongzheng court to have a good ending, they can't wait for the world to be in chaos, and the Hu people are just more and more demons dancing.
"Do you want to be scolded by the king when you turn around?" Murong Qi is not Murong Ming, a boy who was spoiled by his grandmother, he is clear about Murong Kui's doors. Sima Shi is a general of the First Army, and he is a Han Chinese, even if he is a prisoner, Murong Kui will definitely make an appearance when he turns around, and recruit Sima Shi to his command and appoint him.
The Han people have no loyalty to the Hu people, and it doesn't take much effort to solicit them, and they can still get a good name, so fools don't do it.
"......" Murong Ming reluctantly writhed twice in Murong Qi's hand before reluctantly turning around.
"You guys take him back!" Murong Qi deeply felt that this cousin would only cause chaos here and throw people to Qin Xuan. Why is it not Bidezhen, Murong Qi saw that Murong Ming liked Qin Xuan very much along the way, and often had to pull her to talk at night, and she was good-looking, so she didn't lose it to Qin Xuan to anyone.
Qin Xuan stretched out his hand and hugged Murong Ming. She immediately hugged Murong Ming and walked out of the big tent, and the rest was handed over to Murong Qi.
Murong Ming was growing taller, but Qin Xuan, who was still no taller than one meter seven, his boss began to flutter unhappily, "Let me down!" ”
Murong Ming has a beautiful face, just like the other Murong family men, they are all very good-looking, and now there are dried blood stains on this face. There is a sinister aura in the alluring beauty.
Qin Xuan put Murong Ming down, "This is also for your own good." "She, an outsider, can figure out that Sima Shi is going to be taken under Murong Kui's command, Murong Ming jumped up like this and stepped on people a few times, and Murong Kui had to teach him a lesson when he turned around.
"You're just like your cousin! It's all too cautious and shy back. Murong Ming snorted coldly, "That Han man knows what it means to be able to shrink and stretch, just look at his ancestors." Don't say that I just told a few words of truth, even if it really happened, what would he dare to do to me? ”
Murong Ming said a series of words in one breath and turned to look at Qin Xuan. Qin Xuan just smiled bitterly, at this time, the sun rose in the east, and the light of the early morning shone on the person's body, and the faint layer of fluff on Qin Xuan's cheeks was also crossed with a light layer of gold.
Qin Xuan looked at this stubborn young man, her face softened, as if she was facing her younger brother, and softened her tone, "Shilang-kun, villain...... It's also Han. ”
"I didn't speak ill of the Han people." Murong Ming was dazzled by the pale golden layer on her face, and the tall young man's eyebrows in front of him softened, as gentle as water, encompassing his sharp edges and corners. His face turned red, "I'm just saying that the Sima family is incompetent, not about how the Han people are." ”
As he spoke, he kicked the grass under his feet and flew up, as if he had a grudge against the grass.
"......," Qin Xuan looked at him, "Actually, the Han people don't care if the Sima family is the emperor or not. ”
"Huh?" Murong Ming raised his head and showed a puzzled expression, "Isn't the emperor of the Sima family Shan Yu of your Han people?" ”
Qin Xuan couldn't cry or laugh, when Murong Ming was born, the Central Plains was in turmoil, and Liaodong was already out of the control of the Han court, and even in Murong Kui's father's generation, the Han officials who stayed in Liaodong and instigated the war between Murong and Duan and Yuwen were driven away.
So what the Jin Kingdom, which was once regarded as the kingdom by his fathers and ancestors, was like, Murong Ming didn't know a lot. Anyway, he felt that the emperor was their Shan Yu.
"The villain will explain it to Lang Jun in the future." Qin Xuan said.
"Okay!" Murong Ming's eyes lit up when he heard this, but when he remembered something, he immediately turned his head with a tiger face, "I'll flip through the book myself!" ”
After a while, he turned his head to look at her again, and a sly smile rose at the corner of his mouth, "Hey, is this the trick you said Huo Qubing used?" ”
Without waiting for Qin Xuan to speak, he smiled again, smiling more proudly than just now, "We Xianbei people have also learned~"
