5. The north wind is cool

The north wind is cool, the rain and snow are cold, and the year is full of cold winter. At this time of year, in order to escape the wind and snow from the north and let the livestock obtain enough water and grass, many people and livestock need to migrate southward in search of pastures that can supply a large number of people and animals for winter.

Ding Lingren is one of the people in the migration tide.

In the steppe, they are also a tribe with an ancient history, nomadic herders on the North Sea, using tall wheels, and passing on the myths and legends of their tribe.

It's a pity that the alternate rise of the Xiongnu and Xianbei repeatedly invaded the homeland of Ding Ling people in the north, and the blood and tears of countless Ding Ling people flowed on the shore of the North Sea, and "Ding Ling in the north" has almost become the work of every grassland overlord, and under the inability to resist, surrender and obedience have become one of the rules of survival of Ding Ling people.

At present, although the Xianbei people are not as strong as before, and their strength cannot be controlled to the North Sea, the Ding Ling people can finally break free from their enslavement and become independent, but after the hooves of the Xianbei people, the troubled Ding Ling people are facing a huge difficult test.

In recent years, the weather in the northern grasslands has become extremely cold, the ice period in the North Sea has become longer and longer, grass, fish, animals and other food have become increasingly scarce, and the number of people and animals in the tribe who have froze to death and frostbite due to lack of food has also increased.

In desperation, the Ding Ling people could only hold a sacrificial assembly and disperse the tribes by the instructions of Providence, some tribes continued to stay on the North Sea, and the rest of the tribes followed the instructions of the heavens and began a long and long migration journey.

The boundless grasslands are home to legends that help the people of the Immortal Heaven to understand the land.

The Ding Ling people who moved south knew that the land of the south of the desert, especially the grassland at the southern foot of Yin Mountain, was the best, but it was a pity that the large grassland from west to east was occupied by the Xianbei people, the overlord of the grassland, and the Xiongnu still had to flee in front of the Xianbei people, not to mention other tribes that were inferior to the Huns.

In the grassland at the southern foot of Yin Mountain, there is no place for Ding Ling people to live.

The migrating Ding Ling people could only continue to look for pastures that could supply the tribe to the southwest, until they arrived at Juyanze, which was like a pearl of the grassland.

Juyan is derived from the Xiongnu language, which has the meaning of warm climate and abundant water and grass. In addition to the lush pastures and drought-tolerant plants such as trees, poplars, and red willows, Ding Lingren also saw geese, white birds, water ducks, and countless fish swimming in the lake that had not yet frozen.

This made the Ding Ling people, who were far away from their homes, forget the cold winter for a while, and think of their homeland Beihai, how similar the scenery in front of them was.

Countless Ding Ling people stopped their horses, tears of emotion, and they knelt on the ground, following the tribal wizard to pray to the immortal heaven, thanking the heavens for allowing them to find a new home.

It's just that someone soon came to break Ding Lingren's dream.

A messenger who claimed to be a Han official told them that this piece of water and soil was the land of the Han people's tuntian and horse grazing, and that although the soldiers and civilians of the former tuntian had withdrawn to the interior, the Han generals who had recovered the lost land had set up a new pasture here, and that only the Han soldiers and civilians who were grazing horses and guarding the Han generals and the Qianghu tribe who served the Han generals could be left here, and that the other tribes must leave as soon as possible, otherwise they would be expelled by the army.

However, the Ding Ling people, who had slept and slept all the way, were obviously unwilling to leave, and they had always expressed their allegiance to the Han general he called in exchange for a piece of pasture for the rest and recuperation of the tribe's people and animals, but the envoy decisively refused them.

With the increasingly cold winters, the coveted pastures, and the ill-intentioned Hu tribes, how could the Han officials take a huge risk and take in the many Ding Lingren.

Therefore, the Ding Ling people asked for a foal and fur in exchange, allowing their tribesmen and horses to spend this cold winter in Juyanze, and wait until the next spring when the flowers bloom and the foals are born, and then migrate and continue to find the new home of their dreams.

But the strict Han officials still rejected them again, in the Han people want to come, taking advantage of the weakness of these Hu tribes who migrated and passed, it is the best policy to drive them away as soon as possible, once these ill-intentioned Hu tribes settle down in Juyanze, people have the heart to relocate, and wait until tomorrow in spring, after the strength of their tribe is restored, who knows if they will regret and forcibly occupy the great land and water of Juyanze.

In desperation, after the Ding Ling people could only hastily exchange supplies, they were forced to go on the road with difficulty under the repeated urging of the Han envoys, and turned to the northwest to continue their migration.

As a result, just when the Han officials thought that they had sent away a hot potato, a tribe of Ding Ling people unexpectedly returned to Juyanze, attacked the beacon in the border area, and then drove straight in, wantonly plundered the pasture set up by the Han people in Juyanze, took the Han people's war horses and grain and grass as their own, and annexed the neighboring weak tribes, and occupied Juyanze, the pearl of the grassland.

The lord of the Ding Ling tribe also sent a small group of men and horses to continue to go south, to plunder the grain, grass and livestock of the Han people, as if it was a ferocious act of hunger and fearlessness, and he no longer worried about the Han generals and his army in the mouths of those dead Han officials.

···

On the night of the second day of the incident, the Yulu military book, which was running on the road and was as anxious as a spark, was transmitted to the city.

Yang Feng, the general of Anxi who guarded Zhangye, held an emergency military meeting overnight to discuss the defense and conquest of the invading military of Ding Linghu.

In the lobby, the heat of the multiple stoves makes the temperature rise sharply, and the front courtyard outside the hall is like two seasons. Captain Pang De held a candlestick, and the other military officials were surrounding the map, combined with the military newspaper at hand, and analyzed it with the main general Yang Feng:

"General, this invading Hu tribe is the Xiding Ling tribe, which belongs to a large westward migration tribe of the nomadic Ding Ling people in the North Sea, and the border people call it Ding Linghu."

"The population of the Qiyi tribe is said to have thousands of accounts, nearly 10,000 people, and their strength belongs to the middle and lower streams on the grassland, so they should be trapped in the wind and snow in the north, and they are desperate to plunder the hungry and cold people in the border lands in the south, and the military officials in Yanze are lax in defense, which gives these Hu people who are tired of horses and horses an opportunity to take advantage of."

"At present, this group of men and horses has only rested a little, and they dare to send troops south to plunder deeply, which shows that their ambitions are not small. General, in order to prevent the strength of Ding Linghu and the horses from recovering, and recruiting other grassland tribes, it is necessary to march into the army as soon as possible to defeat them, so as to calm the hearts of the Han and Hu soldiers and civilians in the territory. ”

"General, please be the vanguard in the lower department, be the guide of the army, and attack Ding Linghu!"

After patiently listening to the discussion of the military officials under his command, Yang Feng had already made up his mind in his heart.

Although this Ding Linghu people came suddenly, they caught the soldiers and civilians of Juyanze off guard, but they were hungry and cold, tired of men and horses, and their strength was not strong, although they claimed to have nearly 10,000 control strings, but Yang Feng knew the reality of the Hu tribe on the grassland, they didn't care about the old and strong men and women, as long as they could get on the horse and drive the bow, they could become warriors, and the number of mobilized people was enough, but once they met the real elite army, the battle situation was slightly unfavorable, and they would immediately scatter, and they were not a tricky enemy.

Yang Feng planned to gather Hu and Han soldiers as soon as possible, and three days later sent troops to attack the invading Ding Linghu.

I must not let this gang of Ding Linghu disturb the stability under Zhang Ye's rule.

As the second general under Yan Xing to obtain the miscellaneous general after Ganling, Yang Feng knew why Yan Xing wanted to let himself garrison Zhangye and guard the land west of the river.

The land west of the river is too important for the safety of Liangzhou, and the land of Hexi, among which the gains and losses of Wuwei and Zhangye counties are the most critical.

At the beginning of this dynasty, Dou Rong, who seized Hexi, once said: "Hexi is rich, with the river as a solid, Zhangye belongs to the country's elite soldiers and ten thousand horses, once the emergency, put an end to Hejin, enough to defend itself, this relic is also." ”

Hexi is rich, the first to recommend Wuwei's Guzang City, as the city of Hu-Han trading, known as "the city and the day of the four, each person who lives in the county, not a few months to cause a bumper accumulation", can be said to be the warehouse savings, the people are rich and rich in Hexi's first rich town.

But if you want to talk about the strength of soldiers and horses, it must be Zhangye. Zhangye County is adjacent to Zhangye vassal country, Juyan vassal country, in addition to Hu and Han mixed residence, also has the largest horse breeding land in Hexi, the war horses produced by various pastures are well-proportioned, stout and strong, strong and fat, resistant to rough feeding, good adaptability, excellent speed and endurance, are good horses in the army, multiply.

At present, there are more than 30,000 horses in various pastures in Zhangye, which is an important guarantee for the combat effectiveness of the cavalry under the command of the hussar general, and there is no room for failure.

Yang Feng had already decided to send Zhang Ji and Zhao Hong, the Taishou of Wuwei and Jiuquan counties, overnight, and summoned the Qianghu soldiers and horses of Yiconghu, Lushuihu, Lindaiqiang, and Dian Naqiang, together with the soldiers and horses of the three counties, to attack and suppress Ding Linghu, who occupied Juyanze.

After the military order was issued, Pang De and other military officials hurriedly took the order and left, and ordered the officials on duty to wake him up in time if there was an emergency military situation, and Yang Feng, who was tired and well-up, also turned around and returned to the inner hall.

Yang Feng, who returned to his bedroom, saw the cold and empty bed bedding, smiled bitterly, and did not let the slave and maid in, so he took off his leather boots, foot clothes, and clothes and slept with his clothes.

Some generals and colonels in the army also envy themselves for marrying the only sister of the hussar general, not only standing out among the generals and holding great power in the field, but also the future prospects are unlimited.

But how do they know the bitterness in this?

A "lady" of the Yan family who can take female soldiers to disappear all day long and have fun wantonly, how can she be willing to be a gentle and virtuous wife of a rude soldier.

No wonder I heard that most of the "good sons-in-law" who were favored by the emperor in the past were unwilling, and even preferred to use hunger strikes to resist Princess Shang.

Princess Liehou Shang, the lord of the country, is a husband with a wife, and the yang is subservient to the yin.
