Chapter 298: The Four Counties of Saibei (Part II)

In order to deal with Hu trouble, Zhao Guo fixed Hu Jiang. After a few days of planning, the top think tank of Zhao State formulated a strategy of using 'Daicheng as bait to lure Sanhu'. The northwest county of the Zhao River and Linhu surrendered to the generals, crossed the river to the north, and attacked the hinterland of Linhu. Jinyang County went north along the river and attacked the hinterland of Loufu.

Jinyang County broke through the hinterland of Loufu and came from west to east to support Daicheng.

Acting Prime Minister Zhao Gu, in order to confuse Sanhu. Fifty thousand people were deliberately left in the city. The rest of the army gathered at the Infinite Gate to defend Donghu and Zhongshan. However, Zhongshan was already at the end of the crossbow and could not fight back against Zhao State. Yan pinned down the main force of Donghu in the north. As a result, the Zhao army of the Infinity Gate mobilized troops from east to west to support Daicheng.

Zhao Yong saw that reinforcements from the east and west had arrived, and personally beat the drums to boost morale and fight a decisive battle with the Hu people.

Zhao Yong, Fei Yi, Tian Buli and Prince Zhang commanded 10,000 iron horsemen, 5,000 shield bearers, and 20,000 crossbowmen to defend the main formation. Zhao Xi and Ji Qian led 20,000 iron horsemen to intercept Lin Hu and Lou Fu's left attack; Lou Slow and Che Qiangfu led 20,000 iron horsemen to intercept Lin Hu and Lou Fu's attack on the right side. Sima Wang, Le Yi, and Shilou led nearly 30,000 iron horsemen, head-on to attack the main formation of Lou Fu and Lin Hu.

Lin Hu and Lou Fu were under the stormy attack of Zhao Guotie's cavalry, and they could not take care of the front and back, and the main formation was in chaos. Lin Hu and Lou Fu also showed no signs of retreat. Just when Lin Hu, Lou Fu and Donghu fought head-on with Zhao State, the battle was stalemate. Suddenly, behind them, a Zhao army appeared coming from west to east, and another Zhao army came from west to east. The two new forces of the Zhao army were put into battle, and the situation on the battlefield was reversed in an instant.

King Lou suddenly understood why they went south without strong resistance from the Zhao people. This time, it turned out that the Zhao people did it on purpose, the purpose was to invite them into the trap designed by the Zhao people. King Lou Fu is a smart man who sees that the defeat has been decided, and he is unable to return to the sky, so he persuades King Lin Hu to escape to the grassland and desert to preserve his strength.

King Lin Hu lost his place of residence, lived without face, and rejected the advice of King Lou Fu.

Seeing that King Lin Hu didn't know how to advance or retreat, King Lou Fu insisted on sending him to death, and he did not persuade him. At the moment, he led the building to annoy the people and broke through to the north. Prince Donghu ran away when he saw that Lou was annoying, and he also led the remnants of the army to flee eastward.

Lou Nu and Donghu people evacuated the battlefield. The Lin Hu people were suddenly in turmoil. Although the Lin Hu people fought heroically, they were outnumbered in the face of the Zhao people's encirclement.

After half an hour of fighting, the Linhu people were divided and surrounded by the Zhao people. King Lou Fu contracted his forces and put up a final desperate resistance. Seeing that the outcome had been decided, Zhao Yong rode a war horse and came to King Linhu's side, and asked, "King Linhu, the general trend has gone, surrender!" ”

King Lin Hu was covered in blood, his battle armor was mutilated, and he smiled embarrassedly: "Zhao Jun, you have won." ”

"The widow said, If you are a tiger, the widow is a hunter. The widow can return to the mountains and let you roar in the mountains and forests. If you rebel, the widow will raise up an army to take it. ”

King Lin Hu snorted coldly: "Zhao Jun is lucky. ”

King Lin Hu was not convinced.

"I fought two battles with Zhao Jun and lost both. Zhao Jun's authority, how can a widow be unconvinced. ”

"In that case, why don't you dismount and surrender."

"I am Lin Hu Nan'er, the king of the grassland. If you surrender once, you have already lost the face of your ancestors, how can you surrender once. ”

"King Linhu, what do you mean by that?"

"You Central Plains people have a saying, a soldier can be killed, but not humiliated. I am Lin Hu's man, how can I descend to you. King Lin Hu looked at the generals beside him, looked at the Lin Hu warriors who fell to the ground, and sneered: "Zhao Jun, you won and fulfilled your promise." I should also keep my promise. ”

King Lin Hu looked at Zhao Jun with a provocative meaning.

The generals of Zhao State, holding their war swords, were vigilant against King Lin Hu, and the trapped beasts were still fighting.

Zhao Yong's expression was not afraid, he pulled out his sword, and said, "King Lin Hu is willing to fight, and the widow will accompany him." Not only do the prairie boys worship heroes, but my eldest Zhao boy is not a hero. A country without heroes and faith is both pitiful and hopeless. King Linhu, the widow will fulfill your name as a hero. ”

King Lin Hu raised his head and laughed, looking at Zhao Jun with some unwillingness in his eyes. In this battle, he has already lost. If we continue to fight, we will only increase the number of casualties. King Linhu lost once, and now he loses again. He is no longer worthy of being the king of Lin Hu Nan'er.

"Zhao Jun, if there is an afterlife, I will still be your enemy." After King Lin Hu finished speaking, he held his sword and plunged it into his chest.

When the warrior Lin Hu saw that the king had killed himself, he shouted: "Your Majesty... The King.... ”

Seeing that King Linhu was dead, Prince Zhang waved the sword in his hand and persuaded him to surrender: "King Linhu is dead, so don't you put down your weapons and surrender quickly." ”

When Warrior Lin Hu heard this, you look at me, I look at you, and he instantly lost his mind. Now that King Limhu is dead, they have no leader and no spiritual support. At this time, they don't know why they are fighting. If they put down the war knives in their hands, and Zhao Ren settled the accounts after the autumn, how should they deal with it.

Zhao Yong saw that Hu Ren was hesitating, and said, "Put down your weapon to avoid death." ”

When the warriors of Linhu heard this, they dismounted one after another, knelt down and said, "I am willing to surrender." ”

Wave after wave of voices asking for surrender came one after another.

Gongzi Zhang saw that Hu Ren put down his weapon, and said with great joy: "Father, we won." ”

Zhao Xie, Zhao Gu, Zhao Yunshu, Sima Wangzu and others were also surging when they saw it, and they defeated the Hu people in the way of the Hu people. They did, they really did.

The officers and men of the three armies of Zhao Guo applauded in unison for this victory.

Zhao Yong listened to the cheers of the three armies, and his heart surged. He defeated the Hu people, or did he defeat them in the proudest way of the Hu people. He not only became the first Chinese monarch to defeat the Hu people. He was also the first monarch to make the Hu people submit to China. He not only attacked Hu, cleared the border troubles, and opened up thousands of miles of Hujiang. At the same time, he also proved a signal to the princes of the Central Plains... Who said that the Central Plains man is not as good as Hu.

Fei Yi stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the King of Lou Fu, the Prince of Lou Fu and the King of Donghu have fled." Prince Linhu and others died in battle. ”

"In this battle, we defeat Sanhu, the Zhao clan's heroics, and will shock the grassland. King Lou Fu has escaped, so let him escape! Zhao Yong looked at King Linhu's corpse and withdrew his sword, "Pass the order to go down and bury King Linhu's father and son." ”

Fei Yi commanded: "Oh." ”

"The widow can clear the border troubles and settle the northern frontier, all of which are the work of the generals." Zhao Yong faced the soldiers of the three armies of Zhao Guo and shouted: "God bless Zhao Guo." ”

The officers and men of the three armies of Zhao Guo shouted in unison, "God bless Zhao Guo." ”

When the sound stopped, Zhao Yong stared at everyone, "The widow wants to go to Hujiang to have a look." ”

Fei Yi never thought that Jun Shang would come up with such an idea, so he was caught off guard, and hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, we have cleared the border troubles, but the remnants of the Hu people still exist. We must not go deep into danger. ”

Gongzi Zhang also said: "In this battle, we have suffered a lot of damage, and we also ask the monarch to return to Daicheng to recuperate." ”

Tian Buli also said: "Please take the overall situation first, and don't go deep into the dangerous place." ”

The generals of Zhao said in unison: "Please go back to Daijun." ”

"The widows not only have to clear the border troubles, but also open up Hujiang. The widow also wants to see the unknown Hu Jiang. "Zhao Yong stopped everyone, his mind has been decided, "Zhang Er, Zhao Gu, lead a large army, return to Daicheng. The rest followed me to Hujiang. ”

Prince Zhang and Zhao Gu commanded: "Huh." ”

For Zhao Yong, Hujiang is an unfamiliar territory. In this battle, he defeated the Hu people, why not take advantage of the situation to open up Hu Xinjiang. Since he wants to open up Hujiang to strengthen the national strength. Then, he will go to Hujiang in person to understand this territory that will soon belong to Zhao State. If he had never even set foot in his own territory, would he not regret it for the rest of his life? He wants to take his footprints and walk on every inch of the mountains and rivers of Zhao Kingdom.

This trip is also to spread the prestige of the Zhao family. Despite all the difficulties, he had to set foot on Hujiang in person.

Fei Yi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it is dangerous to go to Hujiang. Please be cautious. ”

"200,000 Hu people, few people are not afraid. How could you be afraid of Hu Jiang's trip? After Zhao Yong finished speaking, regardless of the dissuasion of everyone, he took Feiyi, Zhao Yunshu, Zhao Xie, Sima Wangzu, Le Yi, Zhao Xi and other generals and 50,000 iron horsemen to explore this strange territory that the Chinese people had never understood and never stepped into.

Zhao Yong visited the mountains and rivers of Hujiang and sighed at the beautiful scenery of Hujiang; On the other hand, he ordered someone to record the topography and landform of Hujiang and sketch a map. Zhao Yong not only wanted to be the first king to set foot on this territory; He also wants to leave his own eternal deeds in this territory; He wants to be the first person to explore, understand, and open up this Hu territory.

The crowd headed north, with sparse trees and overgrown Gobi deserts. A little further along, it's all desert. Because of the desert barrier, the road is difficult to navigate. The crowd had no choice but to turn and walk westward. After walking for a while, there were mountains and ravines in front of everyone.

Fei Yi saw that the Hujiang Mountains were steep, in order to prevent being attacked by the Hu people. Send 5,000 cavalry to explore the way forward. The rest of the iron horsemen were divided into nine columns, with 5,000 men in each column, led by a captain of 10,000 men. Between the columns, advance in a long serpentine formation, keeping a distance of fifty meters from each column. Advance according to the route and marching strategy drawn on the map of Zhao Gukan. Even if the Hu people sneak attacked, the Zhao people were able to conserve their strength and make a quick counterattack.

Everyone followed the guidance of General Lin Hu, still the map drawn by Zhao Gu, and soon entered a canyon. The peaks and peaks on both sides of the canyon road are stacked, and the strange rocks are volleying in the air, and the terrain is steep.

Zhao Yong looked at this dangerous road and asked, "What is the name of this place?" ”

Fei Yi looked at the Kanyu map in his hand and replied, "This should be Gouzhu Mountain." ”

Zhao Yongxin said: "If the Hu people don't live by water, they graze and chase deer. The Hu people, like the people of the Central Plains, know how to repair cities and set up formations. The Hu people built a dangerous pass here. Here, you can be a husband and a wife. ”

This canyon, Zhao Yong and others, took half an hour to pass. Climbing over a steep mountain beam, the view in front of me was much wider. Suddenly, I saw two mountains standing against each other, like a heavenly gate. Here, by the mountains and dangers, the east and west wings, the mountains are undulating, and several geese fly in the middle.

Zhao Yong was fascinated by the magnificent scenery in front of him, and sighed: "If you get here, Hu Ren'an dares to go south to herd horses." ”

After passing the Gouzhu Mountain, the group continued westward, walking along the Daqing Mountain and the Great River, until they reached the end of the east-west direction of the Great River. Zhao Yong looked at the land of Hujiang and the water of the big river, and said in his heart: "The water of the big river comes from here." Hujiang and the Central Plains are also surrounded by mountains and rivers! ”

After traveling for more than ten days, he did not see the end of the water of the great river. Zhao Yongxin said: "It is not the water of the great river, which comes from the sky." ”

Zhao Yong saw the southern foot of the green mountain, indeed, as Zhao Gu Kanyu said, the terrain is flat, the soil is fertile, the water and grass are fertile, and it is suitable for grazing and farming. Here, cows, sheep, and horses are flocked. Everywhere Zhao Yong went, there were Lin Hu people and Lou annoying people who came to kneel to greet him.

On the one hand, Zhao Yong appeased the Lou Fu and Lin Hu people, and on the other hand, ordered that they should not be disturbed or plundered. Due to the strict discipline of the Zhao army, Zhao Yong and others penetrated into Hu Xinjiang and did not encounter resistance from the Hu people.

Zhao Yong saw the scenery of the southern foot of Daqing Mountain, and led everyone to cross the northern foot of Daqing Mountain. The scenery of the northern foothills and the southern foothills are different, but they are also refreshing. Looking at this territory, Zhao Yong finally understood why all the horses in the world were in Linhu.

In order to inspect and stabilize Hu Jiang, Zhao Yong spread Zhao's kindness far away. Not afraid of hardships and difficulties, trekking through mountains and rivers, walking all over the south and north foothills of Daqing Mountain, exploring the end of the river. The trip to Hu Jiang lasted two months.

This trip to Hujiang has increased everyone's knowledge and broadened everyone's horizons. In the past, in their eyes, there was only the fertile land of the Central Plains. Now the land of Hujiang gives them a sense of glory not only to expand the territory but also to establish a meritorious cause for all generations. It also shook their hearts strongly.

It turns out that the world is very big and very wide.

Back in Daijun, the copywriting on Zhao Yong's case was piled up into a hill. These copywriting are also the results of traveling to Hujiang. The copywriting records the humanities, topography, landforms, mountains and rivers of Hujiang.

Zhao Yong's eyes stared at the redrawn map, and his mood couldn't calm down for a long time.

The land of Hu Jiang is many times larger than that of Zhao Land. Zhao Guoruo opened up this Hu territory, subdued the Hu people, and trained iron horsemen and war horses. On other days, the princes of the world dared to compete with Zhao State.

As the saying goes, it is easy to fight the world, but it is difficult to defend the country.

How Zhao managed this territory and resisted the southward movement of the Hu people became a difficult problem. After all, there was no precedent for the predecessors to open up thousands of miles of Hujiang at once, and there was no experience to be found in managing Hujiang. Faced with an unknown and vast territory, Zhao had to forge a new path.

Thousands of miles of Hujiang were newly set up by Zhao Yong. As a result, the place where the building annoys people live was set up as Yanmen County. Because the place where the Linhu lived was at the southern and northern foothills of the green mountains, the big river was also the inland river of the Linhu people, and the ground was too big. In order to better manage this territory, Zhao Yong set up two counties of Yunzhong and Jiuyuan to govern it.

After the Zhao State after the Hufu cavalry shooting, not only did he attack Zhongshan several times, but he was not defeated; crossed the river to the west, recovered the counties in the northwest of the river, and intervened in the internal affairs of Qin; Defeat Lin Hu, Lou Fu, and Donghu, and expand the land for thousands of miles. Zhao Yong also set up three counties of Yanmen, Yunzhong and Jiuyuan in thousands of miles of Hujiang.

Zhao Yong hit Sanhu, expanded the land for thousands of miles, and set up three counties. Not only was the Zhao State boiling, but even the princes of the Central Plains were also shaken. Zhao Yong's martial arts and martial arts, the world's merits, not only shocked the grassland, but also famous princes.

At this time, when Zhao Jianzi was in power, the proverbs that circulated were gradually talked about by the Zhao family. Gubu Ziqing and others predicted that the seventh grandson of Zhao Jianzi born in Handan would follow the ancestors' exploits, attack the Hu people in the north, and open up Hu Xinjiang. The world, which had been divided for hundreds of years, finally came to unification.

The proverb says: The Son of Heaven is out of Handan, and the world is unified. Ji's surname died, and Ying's surname was Xing. Those who take the week and replace it, win also.

Could it be that Zhao Yong is the son of prophecy, he will end the war, division, and the world will be unified.
