History is a very mysterious thing, and it is simple and complex to interpret.

If analyzed from the perspective of romance and legend, it can be summed up in a simple few words, and the intricate cause and effect relationship becomes a simple straight line, and if you go in a single direction, you will definitely be able to reach the other side.

However, history is very complicated, and when analyzed from different angles, there will be various interpretations, forming a mess that crisscrosses, cuts, and rationalizes, and judges a person or an event has become the most difficult subject, especially for those who attach equal importance to their strengths and weaknesses, there is no right or wrong.

The major events that became turning points in history are independent of each other in the history books, but they are connected in the dark.

The former dynasty was prosperous and declining, and the signs of prosperity and decline coincided, and the construction of the Great Wall, Afang Palace, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was originally intended to resist the Xiongnu, demonstrate national strength, and communicate the water conservancy between the north and the south.

However, 100,000 laborers rushed to the border between the Xiongnu and the Central Plains to lay a hidden danger for the uprising, and when the Afang Palace was built, 30,000 people had died of exhaustion, and when the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was opened, the states and counties on both sides of the strait were already starving all over the wilderness, and they could not make ends meet.

And the seriousness of history burst out in an instant, in a little-known place in the Central Plains, which was not marked on the map, a peasant who was about to be killed because of the delay in the construction period, gritted his teeth and heart, tore the tattered clothes and pants on his body, and raised his arms and shouted: "The prince will have a kind of Xiangning!" Thus began the Daze Township Uprising.

Immediately opened the prelude to the juxtaposition of the heroes rising together and competing for the Central Plains.

A spark can start a prairie fire, and a war invades the Central Plains. The earth-shaking and dynastic change seems to have become the trend of the times.

The previous dynasty had rotted into a pot of porridge from the inside out, but a horse soldier saint was born to turn the tide. Supporting the building in the general, invincible, invincible, and with great perseverance, the fortune of the whole country is bound to himself, vowing to change his life against the sky.

And he almost succeeded, but it was a pity that he met Xu Xiao, who was not afraid of death, with the Thirteen Taibao. In the battle to the death in the fortress, he swirled with the horse soldiers for ten days. In the end, in order to save the three hundred cavalry brothers, the former horse soldier saint faced the Xu family's iron cavalry alone. Exhausted to death, trampled into a puddle of mud.

The luck of the former dynasty was also blown away by the wind and rain, and the last pillar collapsed, and the former dynasty died.

And ironically. The first to surrender to Xu Xiao was the three hundred horsemen. When these 300 horsemen surrendered, they carried the heads of more than 600 people from the upper and lower families of the horsemen and soldiers. Xu Xiao ordered someone to bury the family of the horse soldiers, and the more Xu Xiao, who never killed and fell ill, became more and more aggrieved, and took advantage of the moonlit night to enter the mansion of 300 people who had been added to the official ranks, and raised a knife to cut people.

The ensuing Xiangfan Death Battle and the Chibi Water Battle invested a large number of troops and a tragic battle situation, which is unparalleled, but these major events seem to be more like embellishments, bringing some magnificent scenes to the end of the historical curtain.

The Great Wei State is the king of the world. The capital went to Beijing, and history once again revealed its lack of seriousness. It also showed its cruelty and ruthlessness - the Suzaku Gate Incident.

The Suzaku Gate incident became a turning point in the history of the Great Wei Kingdom, setting the tone for the future pattern of the Great Wei Kingdom, and it still shows its power to this day, leaving an immeasurable impact on the hearts of everyone who has experienced this event.

After the Suzaku Gate Incident, whether it was Xu Xiao's horse stepping on the rivers and lakes, the ten dead soldiers entering the palace, the Weishui Alliance, or the enthronement of Liangzhou and the occupation of the Hetao, they all became the rhyme of the Suzaku Gate Incident and the continuation of the disappearance of the woman in white like snow.

The entire Great Wei Kingdom trembled in the face of the Suzaku Gate Incident, no one wanted to mention it, but it did exist, the surname of the Zhao family was five or six overnight, most of the ministers' families died, His Majesty was grief-stricken, Xu Xiao was crazy, Fan Li instantly turned white, and Chen Xian was stunned...... The phrase "kill all the Zhao family" was still in his ears, and Zhao Chengde, the king of Jing'an, knelt in front of the clothed tombs of Zhao Jiancheng and Zhao Yuanji, and wept bitterly.

The subsequent history of the Great Wei Kingdom advanced in peace and encounter, and there was no longer a vertical historical change, a gentle spiral, and everything was within a controllable range.

Until the Snow Embrace Incident.

From the perspective of later generations, the Xueyongguan Incident has the inevitability of its occurrence, and it is the only way for the wheel of time to move forward, and it is an inevitable thing.

But in the environment at that time, no one could have predicted that in a very short period of time, the development of current affairs would advance in an uncontrollable direction.

Its accident is similar to the Daze Township Uprising, but its nature is similar to the Suzaku Gate Incident.

The cause of the incident should start with the disarmament of the Zhenbei Army, which was greatly reduced under the control of the great general Xiahou Xiangyang, and no less than 80,000 horses and horses had already returned to their hometowns, and more than 50,000 people were on their way home, and more than 30,000 people were preparing to return to their hometowns.

Seemingly orderly layoffs, because the speed is too fast to hide a lot of drawbacks, leaving the familiar grassland desert for many years, some veterans are at a loss, although most people do not have the idea of dying on the battlefield, but they have the desire to die on the grassland, as long as a handful of loess can be sprinkled on the land of their hometown when they are dead.

On the way back, many veterans lost the motivation to move forward, even if they returned to their hometown, they suddenly found that their hometown had lost its original appearance, they could not find a suitable position for themselves, and their relatives became strangers, even if the two sides showed how intimate, but when they turned their heads, they suddenly found that their families had been estranged.

The imperial court issued enough military salaries and pensions, enough to make the veterans worry about food and clothing, but stripped of the blue sky and white clouds and grassland desert they were used to, looking up, they could only see the delicate smoke rising not far away, even if they climbed to the top of the mountain, they still couldn't see the familiar vastness.

There is no longer a lonely desert, the sun sets on the long river, there is no longer a snowy seaside, the flat sand is reckless and yellow into the sky, and there is no more a river gravel as big as a bucket, walking with the wind and stones all over the ground.

The Central Plains is too rich and too supportive, but it can't support this group of soldiers.

A small group of Zhenbei troops who had returned to their hometowns set out from the grassland, passed through the Han land, passed through the Xueyong Pass, they had been walking for a long time, the shoes on their feet had worn out, the salute on their backs had become heavier and heavier, and they had left a long footprint behind them.

When they left, the general Xiahou Xiangyang personally served wine to see them off. Many people wept bitterly, they did not understand why the general insisted on disarmament, but as long as the general said what he said. They will unswervingly and resolutely carry it out to the death.

No matter how reluctant they were, they drank the general's salute to the army, everyone took up their burdens, stroked the war horses that had followed them for many years, turned their heads, went straight to the Central Plains, and went back to their hometown, which was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Passing through the snow pass. This small group of Zhenbei troops stopped to watch, and heard that this snow hugging pass was built overnight in Xiliang, and the momentum was majestic. It is a dangerous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, I think if the Zhenbei Army comes to build, why should it take overnight, in the middle of the night.

The Xiliang Army and the Zhenbei Army were the two most important armies of the Great Wei State, while Xu Xiao and Xiahou Xiangyang were the two most prominent in pacifying the world. One person was crowned king Xiliang. He was the first king with a different surname in the world, only holding Xihu in his hand, and the other person served in the Zhenbei Army, and became the only general in the world, so that the Huns did not dare to show their heads.

Therefore, not only is there a discussion about who is more powerful between Xu Xiao and Xiahou Xiangyang, but the strength of the Xiliang Army and the Zhenbei Army has also become a topic of conversation.

Some people say that General Xiahou has peerless martial arts, strategizing, and is the first of the ten masters of the art of war. The use of soldiers is like a god, and even Fan Li, the former horse soldier saint and the head of the Shenxing Taibao, is ashamed of himself.

Some people are not convinced. Say, you are one-sided, the king of Xiliang pacified the five major battles of the Central Plains, one person commanded three and a half battles, one of which was commanded with your general, as for the Chibi water battle, it is not that the king of Xiliang went to Weishui and faced the Huns with His Majesty, otherwise where would this Chibi water battle have the share of your general.

As for the strength of the Xiliang Army and the Zhenbei Army, it is even more public that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and the face is red.

Some people say that the Zhenbei army has an advantage in numbers, a full 500,000, but there are more than 200,000 more than the Xiliang army, and the supply of grain, grass and baht is more sufficient, it is by no means comparable to the barren Xiliang three states, not to mention that the Zhenbei army also has a Zhenbei dragon snow cavalry of more than 10,000 people, and it is even more amazing, the leader is Lin Chengping, who once beheaded the king of the Southern Courtyard, and Sima Qi, who is known for his art of war in the Xiliang Five Tigers, suffered two losses in the hands of Lin Chengping.

Someone retorted, saying, you are all old Huang Li, now the number of the Xiliang Army has surged to 500,000, and the Zhenbei Army has been reduced to 200,000, plus the Xiliang Cavalry, which is already brave and good at fighting, and is known as the world, the strength of the battle is known at a glance. There is also Lin Chengping and Sima Qi you mentioned, the two battles between the two did not march in formation, and they fought with real swords and guns, let alone win or lose. What's more, there are four tigers in Xiliang, even if there are some contradictions between them, but when they encounter foreign enemies, they can also cooperate with each other, and it is difficult for one Lin Chengping to stop them.

In private, the Xiliang Army and the Zhenbei Army also secretly competed, one penetrated the Xihu, and the other had to kill the Huns.

The only time of cooperation was the founding of the Great Wei State at the beginning of the country, one was tired of pursuing the Xiongnu, and the other stayed in Xiliang, the foundation was not stable, and most of the troops were restrained by Xihu. Out of thin air, a self-proclaimed 72-way princely army came out of thin air in the Central Plains and marched into Shangjing under the banner of "opposing Wei and restoring the previous dynasty".

The Xiliang Army and the Zhenbei Army at the same time transferred some men and horses, one from the southwest and the other from the northeast, to jointly attack the Seventy-two Route Princes' Army, and finally hit the Xiliang Army and the Zhenbei Army to meet, thinking that the Xiliang Army and the Zhenbei Army had not yet met with the opponent's main force, and suddenly realized, oh, it turned out that this is the Seventy-two Route Princes' Army.

Afterwards, there was some small friction between the Xiliang Army and the Zhenbei Army, that is, they argued about the level of combat strength, and the two sides agreed to see who defeated the more princes' armies. I don't know who proposed everyone to compete in martial arts, whoever wins is who wins, and the winner follows the example of the Great Wei State to rise up the imperial examination and is rated as the champion of martial arts.

It's just that the ring has just been set up, and a holy decree was issued in the capital, and in the end, it was not over, but the imperial court added another martial arts in addition to the imperial examination.

Seeing the snow hugging pass, mentioning the Xiliang army, the more the people who returned to their hometowns in this small group of people who told the old people to return to their hometowns became more and more excited, eliminating a lot of troubles and depression, and some people proposed to go to the snow hugging pass to have a look and watch the so-called first dangerous pass in the world.

The others echoed one after another, and before they walked to the Xueyong Pass, before they had time to sarcastically mock the flashiness of the Xueyong Pass, they saw a small group of Xiliang troops wearing light armor slowly coming out of the Xueyong Pass.

The two sides looked at each other, and were stunned at the same time, Xiliang Jun reacted first, put the light crossbow on the shelf, drew the cool knife, and looked at the small team that suddenly appeared in front of him.

The small team of the Zhenbei Army has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, but they have already taken off their armor and have no blades on their bodies.

And that small group of light armor Xiliang army is also interested, the leader slowly pressed down with his right hand, and the light crossbow bowed his head slightly, waiting for the other party to gradually leave, the well water does not interfere with the river water, and the two sides are safe.

History is like a naughty child, who can't tell the difference between the powerful and the heavy, just willful, and inadvertently a small action can cause a huge sensation, and after the subsequent intensification and uncontrolled happening, no one remembers how absurd and uninhibited the cause of the incident was.

A young soldier who had just enlisted in the Xiliang Army because of the expansion of the army was either nervous or unskilled, his fingers trembled slightly, and the light crossbow, which was known for its agility and speed, burst with a crisp sound of the strings, and a sword crossbow shot out in an instant, flying towards a small group of people in the Zhenbei Army.

The arrow feather was not fast, so it was easy to dodge, and the Zhenbei Army team easily dodged it, but this arrow feather also became the fuse of the whole incident.

The Zhenbei Army, which was already depressed in its heart, took the lead in the uprising, although there was no blade, but relying on many years of experience in marching and fighting, it soon came to the front of the Xiliang Army, and the two sides launched a hand-to-hand combat, and the scene was out of control in an instant.

The grievances accumulated by the Xiliang Army and the Zhenbei Army for many years broke out, and the Xiliang Army was already fearless of death, and they were even more ruthless, and the two sides fought together.

This is a battle that is difficult to be remembered by military scientists, the two sides have no strategic deployment, more like a country scoundrel fighting for a few taels of trivial silver, one of the small details is dealt with, will not cause subsequent events, but all the coincidences converge in an instant, as if someone is arranging in the dark, if it is a coincidence of chance, it will break out in an instant.

It was the newly enlisted soldier who drew the dagger from his waist because he was defeated by the Zhenbei Army, which was used by his fiancée in the countryside to defend himself before joining the army, and told him to use it to save his life when his life was in danger. was kicked in the stomach by a soldier of the Zhenbei Army and flew out far away, and the new soldier felt that it was time for life and death, so he did not hesitate to draw a dagger and stab the opponent in the heart.

Blood splattered, staining the ground under his feet, and seeing blood, so it was no longer a fist and foot scuffle, but a desperate fight.

(PS: Lan Ying thinks history is really interesting, "must say" is hindsight's argument, Lan Ying doesn't like it, "accidentally said" is very interesting, Chen Sheng Wu Guang uprising, Julius Caesar was killed, the fuse of World War I, the Taiping Rebellion, the Lugou Bridge Incident, the Pearl Harbor Incident, etc., etc., etc., just from the fuse, it is all accidental, and some people can't help shaking their heads!) (To be continued......)
