Wedges Wedges
The remnant sun was like blood, and the glimmer of light from the faint sun in the red-burned clouds suddenly showed a little head like a child's joke, and hurried back behind the dark clouds.
Although he only gave a little bit of golden light to the world, it was enough for him to dye the earth completely.
After the remnant sun left, the snow suddenly fell from the sky in the depths of winter, and they rolled and rolled in the howling north wind and landed on the corpses all over the mountains.
In the battlefield that stretched for dozens of miles, the sound of the earth-shattering battle that lasted for several days became smaller and smaller, and the corpses of the two sides fell to the ground more and more.
To the west of the only gap at the intersection of the Qinlan Mountains and the Sumeru Mountains, in the hundreds of miles of barrenness, at this moment, it looks like a landscape painting scroll of Momei.
The corpses on the ground were a little bit of ink plum, in the gray sky and the black mountains in the distance, it seemed chaotic and full of visibility.
On a hill not far from the battlefield, a general dressed in a golden coat stood here, looking into the distance like a stone sculpture.
Here, she can not only see the whole picture of the battlefield that stretches for dozens of miles, but also let the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who fought bloody on the battlefield clearly see herself.
In the eyes of the soldiers, she is a totem, a god-like existence, because of her, she can survive this blood-stained ten years, and can drive the barbarians who have oppressed her for a hundred years away from Shenzhou.
In the general's view, today's battle will be the most important battle in her Yao Chonghua's life, and it will also be the battle in which she led the Xia clan to stand up and let out a final roar from the humiliation of more than a hundred years.
After today, the eight barbarian tribes will no longer have the strength to advance eastward, and there will be no more human tragedies such as "two-legged sheep", "spare the fire", "envy the sheep", and "rotten bones" to the east of Qinlan and Sumeru, and the eight barbarian chaotic summers that have lasted for a hundred years will also be completely over.
Since the Yuanzhou uprising, in the past ten years, Yao Chonghua has led hundreds of Xia people to fight in the north and south, traveling tens of thousands of miles, awakening all the Xia people who are unwilling to be enslaved on the land of Shenzhou.
In the past ten years, after thousands of fierce battles, even though nearly a million people threw away their heads and spilled their blood for the survival of the Xia tribe, they finally drove all the barbarians to the west of Qinlan and Sumeru Mountains.
The land of Shenzhou has once again returned to the hands of the people of the Xia tribe.
In the face of the 500,000 horses and horses of the eight barbarian tribes who had escaped from Shenzhou and united again to march eastward, Yao Chonghua, who had just become the king in the north, overrode the public opinion and led the millions of soldiers and horses of the four countries that had just been divided not long ago to start the largest war with the barbarians in this decade outside the ancient road where Qinlan Mountain and Sumeru Mountain meet.
With this victory, the barbarians will no longer have the strength to covet the land of Shenzhou for a hundred years, and this defeat will result in the loss of ten years of gains, and the Xia people will once again become slaves of the barbarians.
However, with Yao Jun here, how could this battle be lost.
From the beginning of the meeting of the two armies, in eight days, Yao Jun immediately ordered the four generals Yongshang, Mi Jaw, Liu Ang, and Xiao Yue to lead the four armies of the headquarters of Zhuque, Xuanwu, Qinglong, and Baihu to launch an offensive against the barbarians in turn.
After eight days, although the four armies did not take advantage of anything, the 500,000 soldiers and horses of the barbarians never got the slightest chance to rest.
Finally, early this morning, Yao Jun ordered the 200,000 Great Zhou elites in his headquarters, who had been resting, to rush towards the remaining 400,000 tired troops of the barbarians.
After half a day of fierce fighting, the battlefield for dozens of miles was no longer the stalemate of the early morning battle, and the corpses left everywhere would be covered by heavy snow in a few moments.
Both sides seem to have lost the strength to defeat each other, but they are both struggling to support the battle with their own courage.
"Yao Jun, it's time."
Behind the Jin Yu general, a female general in Tsing Yi with a beautiful face, but with incomparably resolute between her eyebrows, stepped forward two steps and said respectfully.
Hearing this, a smile suddenly appeared on Yao Jun's face, and she looked up at the vulture hovering in the snowstorm at some point, and smiled:
"Yue'er, your Qinglong Army is too badly damaged, let's let Xiao Shang go."
As soon as the words fell, next to the female general who was called Yue'er, a burly middle-aged man dressed in black responded sharply, looked up at the female general who looked a little cramped, sighed and turned away.
The young woman just stomped her foot lightly, and finally did not say anything more, and bowed her head and retreated.
More than 100,000 black-clothed soldiers holding the Xuanwu battle flag shouted and walked towards the battlefield in the distance, and soon they entered the battle situation, and in an instant, the battlefield that was originally somewhat hidden became lively again.
It's just that in this kind of bustle, there are countless heads rolling to the ground, and blood is everywhere.
After a few hours, the snow became a little darker as more and more vultures circled in the sky.
But Yao Jun was still staring at the ever-changing battlefield tightly, unmoved by other things.
The golden dragon behind Yao Jun swayed as the cold wind blew, and the huge golden dragon flag beside her resounded fiercely.
The sound of whipping in everyone's hearts was no less than the shouts of hundreds of thousands of people on the battlefield.
Yao Jun, like a green pine that does not fall, stood motionless in the wind and snow, she carefully observed every change on the battlefield, every inch of gain and loss.
"It's over."
Yao Jun suddenly muttered with relief, as if all the pressure in the past eight days had dissipated with the words of these three words.
"Small jaw, small ang, lead the army to attack the left and right flanks of the barbarian army."
Behind Yao Jun, the Vermilion Bird Battle Banner and the White Tiger Battle Banner hurriedly bowed their heads in response to the words "Woo" and turned to leave.
It's just that when the two of them walked past Xiao Yue, they invariably stretched out their hands to the female general who was called Yue'er and patted them gently.
After watching the two of them leave with their headquarters, Yao Jun, who had not spoken for a long time, turned his head for the first time and looked at Xiao Yue with a smile.
There seemed to be no more momentum in her eyes and the determination of the leader who was not afraid of life and death, but only the kindness and gentleness of the elders.
Although Xiao Yue lowered her head, she could clearly feel that the old woman who had an incomparably lofty status in her heart was looking at her.
She didn't dare to raise her head, but her heart was so confused that she couldn't help but tremble.
"Yue'er, are you still blaming me?"
The old woman asked Xiao Yue calmly, it seemed that the battlefield in the distance was no longer the focus of her attention, but the sassy and heroic female general in front of her was all she was worried about.
"Yue'er doesn't dare."
After Xiao Yue said this, she trembled even more, and what she wanted to say was also in her mouth, but she couldn't say a word.
"I know you're complaining about me, you don't want to be the lord of the Qi country, and he doesn't want to do it, but one of you has to do it after all, except for the five of you, who else can have the prestige to be named the lord of a country by me and lead the people of that side.
There can be no more turmoil in China, what the people need is stability and peace, and you must do this.
He has been with me since I was a child, and to me he is like my grandson, and there is no way for him to leave me.
Do you know that when I asked him to be the Son of Heaven, he refused to live or die, which is why my son, who is not as capable as half of the five of you, will do it. ”
Speaking of this, Yao Jun ignored Xiao Yue's words and suddenly looked up at his surprised eyes, and then continued:
"Just now, you want to seek death, you want to be free from this calamity, and finally waited until today's battle was decided before you took the initiative to seek battle.
If I promise you, then when the barbarian army is destroyed, I will lose my favorite general. ”
Yao Jun suddenly stopped talking, and there was a trace of warmth in her eyes when she looked at Xiao Yue that Xiao Yue had never seen before.
"I'm used to seeing life and death in my life, I'm used to seeing parting, and I don't know how much I have experienced when a white-haired person sends a black-haired person, but now I don't want to meet it again.
So, Yue'er, promise me to live well. ”
Xiao Yue heard this, but he couldn't hold on any longer, and immediately knelt on the ground with a puff.
Although she is a daughter, she is decisive in killing, although she will not charge, dance with knives and guns, but she is strategic, and she has never been defeated.
And these are based on her Xiao Yue's tenacious character and outstanding strategy, at this time, Yao Jun saw through her heart, where is Xiao Yue's tenacity.
Among the four armies, if you talk about courage and fearlessness, no one can stand on the right side of the two armies of Xuanwu and Suzaku.
If it is about perseverance, it should be led by the White Tiger Army.
But if it is unexpected, attacking it unprepared, and marching soldiers are ghostly, then Xiao Yue's Qinglong Army is enough to stand alone in the world.
Therefore, Yao Jun has always liked this beautiful woman who is good at using soldiers and scheming the most, and when she saw the always resolute woman kneeling in front of her, her eyes were in tears, she couldn't help but sigh.
"That's it, I promise you, I will be the lord of Qi for ten years, and after the affairs in the north are settled, I will allow you to be free and go to him."
Yao Jun said that, he no longer paid attention to the female general who was kneeling and trembling, but when he heard this, he suddenly knocked his head heavily on the thick snow and whimpered, turned around and looked at the battlefield in the distance.
On the other side of the battlefield, victory or defeat has been decided, and under the all-out offensive of the rolling Xia army, the barbarian army has shown signs of rout.
It seems that everything is as I expected, and it is time to collect the debt.
"Go, take your Blue Dragon Army, go straight to the east of Dragon City, meet him there, and together you will annihilate all the barbarians and take Dragon City."
......
A year later, Dragon City.
Yao Jun sat in the Longcheng Shaman Temple, and Yongshang, Mijaw, Liu Ang, and Xiao Yue were on Yao Jun's left and right.
Kneeling down her head was the barbarian Shan Yu Mona, and standing beside her was an old woman who couldn't see her age clearly, but her eyes were closed.
The old woman held a swarthy wooden staff that had been rubbed and shiny, and on the wooden staff fell strips of cloth that could no longer be seen in their true colors, and under the strips of cloth fell several colorful and glowing gems.
The old woman was dressed in tattered linen clothes, and most of her wrinkled skin was exposed because of her old age, as if she was not afraid of the cold.
Her unkempt gray hair was scattered and obscured from the bark of a dead tree, so that all could see her closed, sunken eyes.
She is the great witch of the barbarians, the last hope of the barbarians.
During the year.
After Yao Jun led the army after a fierce battle with the remnants of the barbarians, the barbarians within a hundred miles west of the Qin Lan and Sumeru Mountains had been wiped out.
Even the barbarian mountain people in the foothills were all wiped out under the fortress tactics.
In the past hundred years, all kinds of catastrophes that have occurred in the land of Shenzhou have been doubled back to the barbarians.
In desperation, after Monashan came to Dragon City several times to beg for surrender, the barbarians were about to fall.
But at this time, their great witch was born in a rare way and found Yao Jun.
I don't know what the Great Witch said and did to Yao Jun that day, but a cautious Yao Jun ignored anyone's persuasion, and under the gaze of 600,000 horses and horses in Dragon City, he followed the Great Witch of the barbarian tribe all the way to the west.
A month later, Yao Jun returned to Longcheng safely, but after she returned, she did not talk to anyone about going west.
But he told them that it was time to go home.
Yao Jun ordered Yongshang, Mijaw, Liu Ang, Xiao Yue and the barbarian Shan Yu to write their names on a prepared alliance book, and then personally cut their fingers and pressed bright red fingerprints on the alliance book with their own blood.
The letter of alliance had been spread throughout the three armies in advance, and the lords of the four countries were aware of its contents.
Therefore, when signing the alliance, except for the barbarian witch who was expressionless and kept his eyes closed but did not say a word, the rest of the people were also overjoyed and excited.
The statement of the covenant is as follows:
In the future, the barbarians will be divided into two, the north is called Di, and the south is called Rong, which does not belong to each other, and the two do not intersect;
The barbarians and the Xia tribe are bounded by the Qinlan and Sumeru mountain ranges, and the two sides have been isolated from each other since then.
The Rongdi tribe is respected by Yao Jun, mainly by Zhou, calling Yao Jun's name Tianshan Yu, and calling Da Zhou as the Heavenly Dynasty.
......
Everyone knows that once this alliance is signed, the barbarian tribe that has plagued Shenzhou for a hundred years will completely collapse, and the Xia tribe will get a land of freedom that they have never had.
At the very least, there will be no more nightmarish alien races in Qin Lan and east of Sumeru.
After doing this, Yao Jun ordered the whole army to return east and rebuild their homeland.
In the cheers of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, Yao Jun looked at the back of the great witch who was walking alone in front of the barbarians, gradually moving away, and his eyes were full of admiration and determination.
A few days later, when all the Xia army retreated, and Mona, who had changed from a barbarian Shan Yu to a Rong Shan Yu, re-entered Dragon City, the great witch had long since disappeared.
And Mona did not have the slightest joy that the barbarians would not be destroyed, but only new sorrow and fear.
The fear was far deeper than that of Yao Jun in the East, so much so that when he thought of it, it hurt to his bones.
Yao Jun returned to Wangji.
Before she left, she had a secret conversation with Yongshang, Mijaw, Liu Ang, Xiao Yue, and a young man of the same age as Xiao Yue for a whole day and night.
After that day and night, the history books of Shikoku were rewritten, and the legends that circulated in Shenzhou became different.
Thereafter.
Qin Lan and the various arteries on Mount Meru have built twelve dangerous passes.
In front of the road between the two mountain ranges, the Qin State spent five years with the material support of the other three countries, and mobilized more than 100,000 people to build a Xiongguan that is incomparable in the world, called Xiao Pass.
A pass was also built in front of the main road between the northern Qin state and the Di people to prevent the Di people from going south.
As for the several passages connecting the northern part of the Qi State with the Di people, the lord of the Qi State does not seem to want to build Xiongguan to guard it like the Qin State, but uses manpower to spend ten years digging up the twelve major rivers in the north of the Qi State, turning Sancheng of the country into a piece of Ze State.
The world is decided, and the people are peaceful.
Ten years later, Xiao Yue, the Duke of Qi, worked state affairs, and the recurrence of old injuries suddenly broke out and was nicknamed Wu Gong.
......
Thirty miles south of Yuanzhou, on the side of the official road leading to Xiaoguan, a white-haired old woman and a pair of middle-aged men and women said goodbye here.
"Yao Jun, do you really want to leave? Why don't I and Ah Yue serve you and send you to the end of your old age. ”
The old woman reached out and touched the hair of the two opposites, smiled and said:
"In this world, I'm afraid no one is as stupid as the three of us, one doesn't want to be the son of heaven, the other doesn't want to be the king, and I'm also a toiler.
There's more important things waiting for me over there. ”
After that, the old woman didn't say much, she turned around and rode on a white horse, and went away to meet the sunset in the west.
Soon after, a melodious and vicissitudes of song in the distance came into the ears of Xiao Yue and the others, and this ballad was the folk song of Yao Jun's hometown and Yuanzhou.
The two listened carefully, listened, and couldn't help but lean on each other tightly in this colorful sunset, and watched Yao Jun go west stupidly.
"Han has lacquer, and Yu has chestnut.
See the gentleman, and sit on the drum.
The present is unhappy, and the deceased is old.
Han has mulberry, Xi has Yang.
When he saw the gentleman, he sat on the drum spring.
The present is unhappy, and the dead are dead. ”
