Section 69 Boundary Rest

On July 12 (August 19 of the Gregorian calendar, the lunar calendar is: Jiachen Day of the Bingshen Month), this day is also the day when the gates of hell are opened in Buddhist legends, and Liu Bei led the Guards Army into Bingzhou.

Before setting out on the expedition, Liu Bei had asked his tribal soldiers about the reality of the Xiongnu, but unfortunately, unless they wanted to start a full-scale war, it was a common practice for different races not to cross the border with each other. Between the eastern Liaodong tribe and the Xiongnu tribe in western Liao, there is also the Karasuma tribe. For all these reasons, they basically had no dealings with the Xiongnu.

Because the military situation is unknown, Liu Bei was particularly cautious about the battle of the Guards, and the three commanders of the Guards were replaced by generals, and Ye Tian, the captain of the right cavalry of the Guards, was replaced by Guan Hai, who had experience in grassland warfare. Huang Zhong had gone to Mount Tai, and his son Huang Xu went to Liu Bei's side as a close attendant. Zhao Yun was summoned to command the left cavalry of the guards (the left and right cavalry of the guards were both 2,000 people). Dian Wei led 3,000 infantry troops, plus 2,000 people, carried grain and grass materials, and followed the army in a van.

Guan Hai and Zhao Yun used to be in Izumo, and they had won titles and fiefs, and Dian Wei had a meritorious role in attacking Yecheng before he was promoted to a school officer and received a knighthood (second-class lord). From then on, it became customary: the commanders of the Guards were all one rank higher than their counterparts.

At the same time, by the West River, Cai Yan and Cai Zhaoji (Cai Wenji) wandered along the river with a big belly, tears falling like rain.

"The Yue Han Kingdom entered Hucheng, and it is better to lose one's family than to have no life. The war Qiu was shocked by the flesh and bones, and the karma was the taste of the shame to curb my feelings. The drums are noisy from the night, and the wind is mighty and dark......

There are water and grass to settle down in the base, and cattle and sheep gather all over the ground like bee ants. The grass is exhausted, the water is exhausted, and the sheep and horses are all migrating......

For the sky has eyes, why don't you see me drifting alone, for God has a spirit, what is the north end of the South China Sea in my sky. I don't live up to the heavens, I don't live up to the gods, I don't live up to the gods, I don't live up to the gods, I don't live up to the gods, I don't live up to the gods, I don't live up to the gods, I don't live up to the ......gods, I don't live up to the

Cai Zhaoji groaned intermittently, groaning and crying, singing and mourning, crying tears into blood, unable to speak.

On the same day, in Luoyang, Cai Zhaoji was plundered by the Hun soldiers, with her peerless beauty and the Wenxiu temperament cultivated by the family, they were selected by Fuluo and became one of his more than ten concubines. Although Cai Wenji has peerless beauty, he must also use his delicate hands to milk cows every day, collect sheep dung and horse dung as fire light, and cook for Yu Fuluo, so that he can have the strength to humiliate himself at night.

Soon, Cai Zhaoji became pregnant, and she was too weak to pick up sheep dung and horse dung, so she became the target of other concubines. Hiding in a corner of the tent every day, even mournful crying has become a luxury. It was only recently that the atmosphere in the tribe was strange, and those Xiongnu herdsmen, who were usually kind and simple, suddenly suppressed their violent anger towards the marauding Han women, and these women were given a little freedom of movement.

Staying in the Xiongnu tribe for nearly two years, the smart Cai Zhaoji learned the Xiongnu dialect slightly, and from the words and a half that came out of the Huns' mouths, she faintly guessed the reason for their change of attitude: Liu Bei, who did not understand poetry and writing, was mobilizing troops to surround Zhang Yan'er on all sides, and opened his mouth to ask Zhang Taishou for the Huns.

In this regard, there was also controversy among the Huns, and some people advocated asking Liu Bei for a sum of money to redeem these Han women. Another part of the people believed that they should immediately return to the tribal gathering place, gather all the warriors, and start a war with Liu Bei. No one, not a single Hun thought that what had been plundered should be returned to the Han people free of charge.

A few days later, the Huns suddenly all fled back to Zicheng, and heard from the Xiongnu herdsmen that they had kidnapped Zhang Taishou. After returning to Zicheng, the Xiongnu began to mobilize the whole clan, and it is said that Liu Bei led the army to follow all the way. It is precisely because of this that the Huns relaxed the supervision of the Han women in case of defeat, and Cai Zhaoji had the opportunity to grieve luxuriously by the lake.

For Zhang Taishou, Cai Zhaoji has no good feelings. The custom of the Huns has always been that the things of the Han people are of the Huns, but they are only temporarily put in the hands of the Han people, and the Huns have the opportunity to get them. The things of the Huns were, of course, the Huns, women and livestock were the property of the Huns, and the intervention of the Han people was an offense. Zhang Taishou adhered to a consistent benevolent style and had relative respect for the customs of the Huns. Cai Zhaoji had seen the robbed Han women crying to Zhang Yang countless times, in exchange for being whipped in front of the Huns.

"I am not greedy for life but evil for death, and I cannot give my life and heart. Life still hopes to return to Sangzi, and death should be buried for a long time. Cai Zhaoji groaned, looking at the sparkling lake.

"Yo hoo, yo hoo", the Xiongnu tribal settlement came from the kind Xiongnu herdsmen violent shouts, and later, countless cavalry rushed out, waving spears all the way to make a "yo hoo, yo hoo" shout, running in all directions.

"The Chieftains' Assembly has decided to fight, and they have begun to recruit tribal warriors." Cai Zhaoji lowered her head and looked at the lake, a few tears dripped down, splashing a circle of ripples: "Sometimes, I envy Yan'er, there is such a man, he does not hesitate to fight for her." ”

Cai Zhaoji muttered to herself, tears dripping continuously.

On July 27, when the boundary was resting, Liu Bei looked at the West River not far away, and was stunned for a long time - "I finally arrived at the south bank of the West River, and one day I arrived at Zhongyang, and I could reach Zicheng one day, and then I could engage the Huns." The Xiongnu admired force, and only by constantly fighting them could they win respect. The Huns took it as a custom to plunder the Central Plains, and this time, let me turn it upside down and take the plundering of the Huns as a custom. ”

Zhao Yun urged the horse to approach Liu Bei, and said in a low voice: "Lord, we have eaten half of the food we carry with the army, and the big war is imminent, so we must raise some more grain and grass to facilitate a long-term war." ”

Liu Bei replied in a low voice: "I remember that the last time I replenished grain and grass was in Xiangyuan, why is it that the grain and grass are not continued now?" ”

Zhao Yun replied: "Our army is nearly 10,000 people, and the small city of Xiangyuan is how to eat enough grain and grass?" At this moment, our army was nearly 3,000 miles away from Yecheng (Hanli, about 700 kilometers), and the march lasted for half a month, and the land along the way was sparsely populated, and it was difficult to supply. Lord, we will soon arrive in Zicheng, and the Huns are going to fight and peace, and they are about to know. There is no point in hiding the traces anymore. I suggest: immediately send out the soldiers, patrol around, and be ready for battle"

Liu Bei hesitated for a moment, and ordered: "Zilong, you take the guards to the left, divide the 1,000 people into ten hundred-person teams, patrol in a fan shape on the left and right of the main team, and the other thousand people condense into a group and move forward slowly." The home team uses copper whistles to communicate with each other, and when the detachment can't solve the enemy, they will attack with the main force, and if the hostility is too strong, they will retreat, and I will clean it up. Your mission is to sweep away all the small tribes around you, rob them of all their livestock, and plunder all their horses. If there is a Han girl in the tribe, you will kill all the men in the tribe for me and take back the Han girl. ”

Zhao Yun took the order and left, Liu Bei raised the binoculars, observed the surrounding terrain, and suddenly gasped: "Jiexiu, the treacherous terrain is at the pass of the Taiyue Mountain Range, and there is Mianshan Mountain behind it. Ahead, Fenshui forms many branches here, and the water network is dense, which is really a good place for ambushes. ”

Liu Bei put down the binoculars and immediately ordered: "Order, immediately set up camp, connect the vans to form an outer wall, go to the surrounding mountains to cut wood, and set up the wall for me as soon as possible." ”

That night, after Zhao Yun swept the small tribes grazing on the south bank of the Xihe Lake, he found a bad phenomenon, the Xihe Lake, there should be a large number of scattered nomadic people, but now there is very little trace, and the few nomadic villages occasionally found, the young and strong men in them have disappeared.

"Hmph, the young men of the tribe have gathered, if you want to fight, come on", Liu Bei pointed to the black and dark Mianshan behind him, and said: "The water network ahead is dense, and the enemy army is inconvenient to move, so if you want to attack, you can only come from." Our army has only passed from the side of the mountain, and it may take half a day for the enemy to come down the mountain, and tonight may be the most dangerous time, so I will not leave. I ordered all the troops to stay on the sidelines, and I wanted to see how the Huns fought with me at night. ”

Liu Bei lay high in the tent at night, waiting for the night attack of the Huns. However, until dawn, there was no movement around. The next day, Liu Bei continued to explore the surroundings of the soldiers, and he made a large-scale shipbuilding move in the Jiexiu small village. Relying on sufficient manpower, advanced wheel saws and other tools, three days later, Liu Bei built dozens of wooden boats.

However, there was still no movement around.

"Are you going to wait for me to hit halfway?" Liu Bei was puzzled, "The Huns are also cavalry, why did he attack half-crossing?" ”

"The Left Guard Cavalry crossed the river today, searched the area of ten miles on the other side of the river, and returned to the east bank of the river when the enemy encountered." Liu Bei tentatively discharged an army.

The opposite bank was unguarded, and the left cavalry of the guards crossed the river smoothly. After searching for ten miles, there was no trace of anyone, and Liu Beifu recalled them.

Such an important estuary is unguarded?

The atmosphere is becoming more and more oppressive and eerie.

Zicheng is on the west bank of the Fen River, crossing the river from Jiexiu, and going forward for two days. Now, Liu Bei is in a treacherous place, invincible in front and invincible in the rear, does Yu Fuluo really want to decide the victory in Zicheng, or does he plan to adopt the guerrilla policy used by the Xiongnu to lead Liu Bei into the depths of the prairie.

"Winter is coming soon, my military rations are about to run out, and it is definitely unrealistic to chase into the grassland. It seems that I really want to sigh at the city. Liu Bei sat in the tent, thought about it for many days, and finally made up his mind: "The strategic purpose of our army has been achieved, Zilong, tomorrow we will start to investigate the enemy situation behind us, pack our bags, and we are ready to withdraw our troops." ”

That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and thick dark clouds covered the moon tightly. As soon as the Qingzhou army packed up its bags, the birds in the Mianshan jungle flew in fright, and the wind blew through the trees, bringing all whispers. At dawn, Liu Bei first dispatched his cavalry and set fire to the grass and trees in Mianshan with rockets. Autumn is dry and dry, it is a good time to set fire, the mountain fire is burning, and the smoke is straight into the sky, exposing Liu Bei's intention to retreat.

After the fire started, there was no movement on Mianshan, Liu Bei became more and more surprised, but regardless of whether there were enemy troops on Mianshan, the way for them to attack down the mountain at this time had been cut off. It was a good time to withdraw the army, and the Qingzhou soldiers quickly withdrew from the camp and retreated in the direction of Xiangyuan. Surprisingly, Liu Bei did not destroy the walled wall and destroy the ships after he withdrew.

Five miles ahead, at noon, the Qingzhou soldiers encountered the enemy cavalry.

The earth trembled, billowing smoke and dust rose into the sky, and boundless Hun cavalry rushed in. Rao is Zhao Yun was bold and careful, and he was also taken aback by the phenomenon in front of him: "There are no less than 100,000 people, 100,000 cavalry, and the Huns actually have 100,000 cavalry." ”

"Return to the army, shoot back with bows and arrows, and retreat while fighting." Zhao Yun mustered up his fighting spirit, and while shooting back at the Hun soldiers in front of him, he rushed back to the Qingzhou main formation.

"What's the matter, I didn't fight at the beginning, so many cavalry came in the first battle, and with these soldiers and horses, they could eat me when I first entered the West River? What happened to the Huns, and what were their intentions? Through the binoculars, Liu Bei discovered this group of Hun soldiers in advance, and when he saw Zhao Yun running back, he immediately ordered: "Zilong, don't stop, run all the way back to our camp, guard the village, and wait for me to return to the army." ”

Looking at the rushing Hun soldiers again, Liu Bei shook his head: "You can't be defeated." Dian Wei, untie the horses from the van, connect the vans to form an obstacle line, and when you are done, you immediately retreat to the camp with the infantry. ”

Cavalry vs. cavalry, soon after the first impact, both sides will fall off their horses due to collision, and the war horses will even be killed in the collision with each other. Then the cavalry could only engage in foot combat. The enemy army has 100,000 horsemen, and Liu Bei can drag 2,000 horsemen off the horse. Once the cavalry fell off their horses, the enemy army surged in, fled, could not escape, and could only be trampled to death.

The smoke and dust were rapidly approaching the Qingzhou soldiers, and Dian Wei had already arranged the van defense line and began to retreat. Liu Bei hurriedly ordered Guan Hai: "Send a few people to the van, shoot an arrow back, and measure the distance of the arrow." ”

After measuring, Liu Bei pointed to the position where the arrow landed: "Retreat, where to retreat, use bows and arrows to block the Hun soldiers." ”

The faces of the Hun cavalry faintly flashed out of the smoke and dust, and Liu Bei looked left and right, but could not find the military flag of the Hun soldiers. Just in confusion, the Hun soldiers approached the van defense line: "Shoot, suppress the shot." ”

Rows of arrows were fired out one after another, and when the skilled Huns approached the van, the Huns slowed down their pace in the front, and their wings stretched out forward like pincers, bypassing the van, and running left and right towards the Qingzhou soldiers.

"The enemy forces want to surround us, cover the shooting - return to the horse, retreat" Liu Bei ordered continuously.

Cavalry charges could not be arranged in close formations like infantry, and in order to give the following teams time to bypass the cavalry fighting in front, the distance between the columns was at least 100 meters. knocked down the first platoon of cavalry, buying Liu Bei at least 3 minutes. The rest of the time is the time for the two sides to chase, and horsepower plays a big part in it.

The burden of the light saddle horse is lighter, Liu Bei's cavalry is wearing two layers of soft and hard armor, the Hun soldiers are thin clothes, only with bows and arrows and sabers, seeing that this chase Qingzhou soldiers are going to fall behind, the left and right wing cavalry of the Huns have run on a level with Liu Bei, and then run for a period of time, the two wings are encircled, Liu Bei's fate can be imagined.

"The whole army turned, and the bows and arrows were prepared; Target, the right flank of the enemy's cavalry", the continuous pursuit made the left and right flanks of the enemy army into a thin line, the Qingzhou soldiers turned their direction slightly, continued to keep moving, relying on sophisticated bows and arrows, and won in this short encounter - outside the range of the enemy, the right flank was penetrated.

"Okay, good job, sons, now, target the left flank, salvo", Liu Bei roared loudly, and the Qingzhou soldiers turned their bows and arrows when they heard the sound.

At this moment, the Xiongnu Chinese army gradually caught up, and the situation was extremely crisis.

"When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins", after a round of arrows, Liu Bei drew his saber and roared towards the left flank of the enemy.
