Chapter 081: Xue Yongguan Incident (2)

History is a naughty child, pretending to be a coincidence, ignoring all details, converging coincidences in an instant, breaking out in an instant, and then leaving it alone and letting it develop towards disorder.

A small group of veterans from the northern army of Zhenzhen passed through Xueyong Pass, and clashed with the Xiliang army because of a trivial matter, which was a simple fist and foot melee, because a newly enlisted young Xiliang sergeant acted irrationally, and it turned into a desperate fight, no one remembered the cause of the incident, only the tragic ending.

The unarmed Zhenbei Army was defeated by the heavily armed Xiliang Army, and was killed by the red-eyed Xiliang Army, blood splashed, staining the ground under their feet, and then the sunset was about to set in the west.

More than 50 people of the Zhenbei Army did not leave their names in history, and more than 100 people of the Xiliang Army did not leave the slightest information, but the beginning of the matter has been provoked, and no one can control the follow-up development.

The leader of more than 100 people in the Xiliang Army looked at the corpses of the Zhenbei Army all over the ground, and was suddenly shocked, knowing that he had made a catastrophe, and whipped the newly recruited soldier with a heavy hand, and then explicitly forbade everyone to tell the real reason for today's incident, but made up a lie - the retired soldiers of the Zhenbei Army crossed the Xueyong Pass and appeared in Xiliang for no reason, and they were dissuaded many times, and the Zhenbei Army had no one in their eyes, and beat the newly recruited soldiers, and the Xiliang Army had to fight back.

This lie has many shortcomings and is seriously flawed in logic, and it only takes a little analysis to discern the truth from the false.

However, when the news reached Xueyong City, the generals defending the city completely believed it, and in addition to being furious, they made an extremely stupid decision: if there was any more Zhenbei army that crossed the Xueyong Pass, they would be killed, and then they would reward the more than 100 Xiliang troops.

This invisibly fosters a kind of undesirable thoughts that have a tenacious vitality like a weed. In order to commend the award, many Xiliang soldiers began to unscrupulously cross the snow pass and appear on the land of the Central Plains with the idea of competing privately with the Zhenbei army. Arbitrarily killed retired soldiers of the Zhenbei Army, and some Xiliang soldiers slaughtered many villages for military merits.

If an army wants to maintain a very high combat effectiveness, it is the best way to nourish the war with war, the world has been peaceful for many years, and recuperation, farming and silk weaving have become the fundamental reason for the prosperity of the country, and the literati and writers have enriched the culture of the Great Wei State. Taiping is the most effective way to consume the combat power of the army.

However, the combat power of the Xiliang Army has not faded at all, but has a faint tendency to increase, because Xu Xiao, the king of Xiliang, has injected the heroic and fearless spirit of the sword into the Xiliang Army. The Five Tigers of Xiliang have labeled the Xiliang Army differently from different aspects, and no matter which label it is, the Xiliang Army has always maintained a belligerent spirit.

However, in the Xueyongguan Incident, the spirit of the Xiliang Army to protect the family and defend the country became a butcher's knife that kept killing. became a thug who was more brutal than bandits. Many villages were slaughtered, just because they could report more kills.

The veterans of the Zhenbei Army found out about the abnormal behavior of the Xiliang Army, and they were all indignant, and on the way back from confusion and helplessness, the behavior of the Xiliang Army inspired their resentment, and they spontaneously organized themselves to form a flat-organized, but extremely disciplined army.

It was an army that had never appeared in the history of the Great Wei Kingdom. There are no chiefs, no military law. There is no number, no clear program of action, silent, just a hazy and vague goal, just pat each other on the shoulder, nod their heads, and the team of only a dozen people at the beginning gradually converged into a black torrent, heading towards the snow pass.

When many veterans who had returned home and discharged from the army heard about this, they resolutely joined this strange team, there was no food, no military pay, but they walked resolutely and quickly.

At this time, the biggest problem faced by this Zhenbei army was grain, grass and weapons, so they borrowed from the people and prefectures and counties along the way, but no people and prefectures and counties would provide grain, grass and weapons to the army that was not recognized by the imperial court.

At first, the Zhenbei army, who could still insist on walking at night without disturbing the people, became more and more cold-hearted, and they suddenly found that the Central Plains, which they had protected for many years, did not show them a little mercy, but turned them away, watched coldly, closed the gate tightly, and looked at them with surprise, disgust, and horror in the crack of the door.

Their brothers were innocently slaughtered by the Xiliang army in Xueyongguan, and they couldn't sit still, so they had to go to Xueyongguan and save the lives of the Paoze brothers with both hands, but none of the people in the Central Plains stood up to send a little food and clothing.

The whole army became more silent, and the silence gradually turned into oppression, and a strong suppressed emotion began to spread throughout the entire ranks, just waiting for the day when it erupted like a volcano, and it could no longer be contained.

I don't know who broke into a small farm yard on a rainy night and snatched food, and the suppressed anger and grievances finally broke out. An emotionally resentful spontaneously organized army suddenly forgot its roots, abandoned the faith it had held for many years, and bared its bloody fangs.

This Zhenbei army suddenly went crazy!

They began to plunder the food of the people, and it became more and more serious, and began to shed blood and death, and the repression of the yamen of the prefectures and counties along the way was vulnerable to this well-trained Zhenbei army.

In the process of plundering and killing, this group of Zhenbei soldiers got some kind of crazy relief and satisfaction, they were no longer the Zhenbei army of the past, they became bandits, they became thugs.

At this time, history is no longer a naughty child, but a ruthless adult, coldly watching, smiling at the corners of his mouth, sneering from the corners of his mouth, gradually rippling to the whole face, coldly looking at the flames from the people's farmhouses, children crying, blood gradually staining half the sky.

The Xiliang Army and the Zhenbei Army fell into the bottomless abyss at the same time in an instant, and they became the most cruel people, with no pity at all, and no sympathy at all.

This is the sorrow of the Xiliang Army and the Zhenbei Army, a stain that no one can avoid, whether it is Xu Xiao or Xiahou Xiangyang, they must be ashamed of this and must stand up and apologize to the people.

And the fall of the Zhenbei Army is even more complete, they feel that the disarmament of the Zhenbei Army itself is a naked abandonment and betrayal, and in the plundering and killing, a heart that has nowhere to put it suddenly has sustenance, and faith has also abruptly moved towards the opposite of the past, kindness has become vicious, protection has become destruction, in the most complete fall. They finally came to the Snow Pass.

All of a sudden, their violent hearts calmed down on the way, and they faced the enemy directly. Yes, the Xiliang army has become an enemy, and after years of training and fighting, they don't need to communicate too much, and the formation has been formed.

And the Xiliang army that poured out from the snow hugging pass looked at the Zhenbei army of no less than 5,000 people, and no one retreated, or thought. Instead, he stood solemnly and flashed his spear and sword at his opponent.

Then, let's have the most complete fall!

But this fall seemed so pale and ridiculous. There is no right and wrong, no justice and evil, and no conflict of interests, and what started as an accident turned into a collective collapse. And the collapse is completely complete. It's scary to think about.

The Xiliang Army and the Zhenbei Army are finally fighting together, killing, killing, killing!

The most tragic battle since the founding of the Great Wei State began, although there was a lack of merit and demerits, but with a wave of emotion, the battle lasted from morning to evening.

More than 5,000 people were killed in the Zhenbei Army, and more than 3,000 people were killed in the heavily armed Xiliang Army.

Xueyongguan ushered in the first baptism of blood in history. Before Lin Wan'er entered Xiliang, Xueyongguan was still very new. Majestic and magnificent, known as a natural danger, when Lin Wan'er came out of the western cool, the snow was already full of devastation and desolate everywhere.

The Xueyongguan Incident is the most tragic moral collapse in the history of the Great Wei State, and its national self-esteem and pride is a fundamental blow, and many years later it is still the pain that the people of the Central Plains do not want to mention, until the world invades Wei, Zhao Ting, the emperor of the Great Wei State, and Xu Linbaoyu, the king of Xiliang, abandon their previous suspicions and join forces to fight against foreign enemies, Zhao Ting said the inspiring sentence "Those who commit my Great Wei will be punished even if they are far away", and Baoyu said the sentence "The Xiliang Army swears to die not to let foreign enemies enter the Central Plains", which made up for the heartache of the people of the Central Plains and reshaped the national spirit.

It seems that there is a providence in the dark, and the Xueyongguan Incident seems to have become the beginning of all the major events in Xiliang since then, similar to the Dazexiang Uprising and the Zhuquemen Incident, and it seems that the historical evolution of the Great Wei Kingdom in the future can find a trace of clues and clues from the Xueyongguan Incident.

After the Xueyongguan incident, the imperial court was shocked, Xiliang was shocked, and the Zhenbei Army was shocked.

His Majesty summoned Prime Minister Pan Chunwei and scholar Chen Xian overnight, and the lights in the imperial study were not extinguished all night, and they issued three holy decrees to the Zhenbei Army and Xiliang respectively, abandoning the majesty of the previous holy decrees, and going straight to the point to express the anger of the imperial court and severely punish the relevant soldiers.

Then the imperial court let the household open a warehouse to release grain, no less than 100,000 loads of grain and grass coefficient transported to the rock and soil people, in the past, local officials had a slight deduction, and the court also turned a blind eye to the past, but this time it was expressly forbidden, if there is a deduction of grain and grass, the nine tribes will be punished.

Eight hundred miles of urgent secret letters are sent to the imperial court three times a day in the morning, noon and evening, and yellow ropes can be tied to the chapter, and His Majesty personally wears red.

Prime Minister Pan Chunwei and Chen Xian University set off overnight, along the line of Shanxi and Shaanxi to appease the people, the two walked to a dilapidated village, saw the displaced, injured people, couldn't help but tears, blamed themselves, the two personally helped the village people to rebuild the ancestral hall, kneeling, touched many people.

Starting from Shangjing, until thirty miles outside the Xueyong Pass, the two of them stopped, unwilling to move forward, for fear of seeing the Xueyong Pass, and the pain could not be suppressed.

On the way, Chen Xian, an elderly scholar, was seriously ill and had to return to Beijing, when leaving, Chen Xian's temples were whiter, his hair was whiter, he opened the carriage curtain, coughed twice, looked at his old friends and political enemies for many years, and said sadly: "You and I have struggled for many years, is it still the Central Plains people who kill the Central Plains people in the end?" What is worse today, soldiers killing people? ”

Pan Chunwei's face was gloomy, and he comforted: "It'll always be fine." Until the carriage went away, the prime minister, who had been moody all his life, roared in grief and cried.

When the three holy decrees arrived at the Zhenbei Army, General Xiahou was furious, his beard was all open, his breath was agitated like a big river of the Nu River, and the villages and villages around him were cracked, and a gust of wind was hung, and a thunderclap was exploded out of thin air.

After calming down for a long time, Xiahou Xiangyang slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, he seemed to be many years old all of a sudden, and said ruthlessly: "Cancel the number of all the troops of the Zhenbei Army in the Xueyongguan Incident, and no longer issue pensions, if anyone continues to make trouble, they will be dealt with by military law and removed from the Zhenbei Army." ”

It doesn't hurt to have a pension less, and it doesn't hurt to deal with it by military law, but canceling the army number and removing the name from the Zhenbei Army is also a more severe punishment than death.

has been cruising in the north of the town of the dragon snow ride, under the leadership of Lin Chengping, returned to the Zhenbei Army, after hearing about this, not only Lin Chengping, but even the cynical Zhao Feng's face became pale, in addition to shock or shock.

The two didn't say a word, and joined the ranks of kneeling and asking for their lives.

The general sat quietly in the big tent of the barracks, holding a copy of "Spring and Autumn" in his hand, and the expression on his face was like a thousand years of ice, unable to dissolve a trace.

The three holy decrees of the imperial court arrived in Xiliang, but they were robbed when they were about to enter the Xiliang Palace, and they did not reach Xu Xiao's hands, so many days after the Xue Yongguan Incident, Xiliang did not respond as quickly as the Zhenbei Army and Zhao Ting.

And under the cover of some people, many people in Xiliang still don't know that such a major thing has happened in Xueyongguan.

Knowing that the defenders of Xueyong City who had caused a catastrophe were like ashes, and the slightest thought of living was gone, and when they saw from a distance that the core of the Xiliang army, the nine thousand iron floating slaughter, appeared in front of the snow embracing the city, the guard suddenly felt that the limit had come, and the palace sent six thousand iron floating slaughter to take his own life.

Xiliang is known as 500,000 troops, of which Tiefutu is the king of combat power, its sophisticated equipment is especially better than other cavalry in Xiliang, has the reputation of the world's first horse, is the most elite army of the older generation of Xiliang army, has continued to this day.

Running down from the city, kneeling on the ground, the guards trembled, only kowtowing, unable to say a word.

The Nine Thousand Iron Floating Slaughter rode forward slowly, lifted the helmet that was as black as the night to reveal a pale face, looked down at the guard kneeling in front of him, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and slowly spoke: "Finally the fight has started, His Royal Highness the Prince has been waiting for this day for a long time!" ”

Sima Qi dismounted and kicked on the guard's head, which was like a watermelon, bursting in an instant, splashing red and white brains all over the place.

On that day, the Nine Thousand Tiefutu took over the Xueyong Pass, lined up the troops, piled up in the Xueyong Pass, and waited for the battle, and Sima Qi rushed back to Liangzhou overnight, went straight to the palace, and saw His Royal Highness Xu Yunfeng, who was standing under the window with his hands behind his back.

(PS: It's a bit heavy, this is another interpretation of history in "The Wicked Girl", which makes Lan Ying a little more trembling than "The Scientific Explanation of Crossing", if you don't like it, don't blame Lan Ying too much, and don't discuss history with Lan Ying, Lan Ying is a monk halfway through, and she is not good at it.) )

(PS: Lan Ying firmly believes that to this day, there are also people like Pan Chunwei and Chen Xian who are scholars for the country and the people.) (To be continued......)
