The beliefs of the Donghu people are very primitive, they worship heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, the sun and the moon, and the stars, and also worship the goddess of Chishan, the incarnation of Chishan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Just as the people of the Central Plains believed that their souls would return to Mount Tai after their deaths, the Donghu people also believed that the souls of the previous leaders would also gather in Chishan. So every autumn, they would sacrifice ghosts and ancestral spirits with cattle and sheep in the temple altar on the red mountain, and burn the cattle and sheep alive at the end of the sacrifice.

It's midsummer, but the Donghu people have started the sacrifice in advance, with only one purpose, that is, in despair, they want to beg the gods to come down to earth and help them exterminate the invaders!

However, their wish will eventually come to naught, the cavalry of the Zhao army went deep into this mountainous grassland for more than 200 miles, and the great enemy was in front of them, how could they not rush to be the first? Under the orders of Zhao Jia and the new child, the soldiers did not hesitate to dismount their horses, put on armor, and held shields, knives, swords, and halberds, and rushed along the path towards the mountain.

The undulating mountain road that stretches for miles is very steep, and the mountain wind blows by Xiao Xiaoran, and the gravel kicked by the footsteps will slide down the cliff after rolling a few times, not to mention that there are Donghu people wearing armor, wearing leopard skins, and holding double-edged narrow swords along the way.

As Zhao Jia once said, if they meet on a narrow road, one Zhao can reach Wuhu, and the clear discipline brought by long-term training is far better than the bravery of the bloody head. In the cavalry battle, the Donghu people could no longer bargain, and on this rugged mountain road, they could not compete with the orderly Zhao pawn.

But for the purpose of protecting the temple, they also rushed to Zhao Pawn fearlessly, in a vain attempt to pull them down the bottomless abyss gully together, and they all died together, leaving only an empty scream echo.

The main forces of Donghu are all in Rao Leshui, and there are not many remnants left, and even fewer are willing to stay and guard Chishan. With the orderly advance of Zhao Zu, hundreds of people on the mountain road were quickly wiped out. However, many places near the peak even required both hands and feet to climb, and it took Zhao Jun half a day to finally reach the temple halfway up the mountain.

On the flat ground outside the temple, there are twelve gilded stone figures, each about half a person high, looking at the draped clothes, it should be the ancestors of the Donghu people, hundreds of Donghu people are crying and worshipping these gold people.

Next to each gilded stone figure, there is also a huge sheepskin drum, dozens of naked, wearing painted animal faces of the majestic Hu people are carrying drumsticks and beating drums endlessly, the drum sound is either fast or slow, and any kind of drum music that Zhao Jia is familiar with is completely different, and has the unique rhythm of the grassland people, the faint thunder that Zhao Jun heard at the bottom of the mountain is this drum.

Gilded stone figures and twelve-sided drums surround a wide circular altar with a roaring bonfire in the center. This bonfire was lit by the shaman of the temple the day before yesterday after learning of the defeat of the main force of Donghu, after the death of Liu He, the wooden frame was built with a thick giant wood, and then filled with a large amount of flammable firewood and oil, which was more than two zhang high, once it was ignited, it was not extinguished for ten days, and it burned to this time, it was the most blazing moment of the flame.

Around the campfire, the oldest of the Shamans in Donghu, a hunched, scrawny old woman with only one eye left, was dancing wildly. She painted strange facial lines on her face with human blood, her body was covered with bright bird feathers, her hands were raised high, and she was praying for something in Donghu language, although she couldn't understand it, but she was nothing more than hoping that the goddess of Chishan would save the Donghu tribe or something, and her feet were covered with viscous blood plasma......

After rushing to the outside of the temple to take a closer look, Zhao Jia and Zhao pawns were angry at this scene, it turned out that the sacrifices tied to the wooden stakes around the altar were not cattle and sheep, but living people, one by one, with their vertebrae on the right side, aren't they the people of the city of Yan and the Dynasty!

In addition to the wooden stakes, there were many more sacrifices around the circular altar, some of which were already dead, and some of which were being slaughtered by the Donghu people. Those captives who had been plundered by the Donghu people from Yan and Dai for several years, after building cities and temples for the Donghu people with hard work, were tied up like livestock and slaughtered as sacrifices! A strong bloody breath erupted, and the rocky land was already soaked in blood, and it became more and more red.

The Donghu people believe that only with the most precious human life can the goddess of Chishan save herself.

However, today is destined to be the day of Donghu's demise......

Zhao Jia didn't say anything, she strode forward, opened her bow, set up an arrow, and in one go, the arrow was aimed at the witch next to the bonfire, and the arrow was like a meteor catching the moon, hitting her heart.

The witch let out a mournful bird-like scream and fell, and the Donghu warriors who beat the drums, and the Donghu nobles and herdsmen who were prostrate on the ground begging for the mountain god to manifest themselves, all rushed towards the Zhao army like crazy, but in front of the strong bow and crossbow and the strong shield oar, it was tantamount to a moth to a fire.

"Kill them all."

Zhao Jia, who was annoyed that the Donghu people slaughtered the captives as sacrifices, ordered: "Didn't the Donghu people say that human blood can make the goddess of Chishan manifest?" I will pour the blood of her descendants on the head of her god today to see if this goddess is true or not. ”

……

When the sun set, the battle was over, the entire Chishan Temple seemed to have been watered with blood, and the twelve stone men outside the temple were beheaded by the angry Zhao Jia and pushed to the ground.

After slaughtering the Donghu people outside, Zhao Jia went inside to take a look and found that it was full of dings, mustaches, beans and other utensils similar to the bronze ritual vessels of the Central Plains, as well as some small gold figures that were quite similar to the gilded stone people outside, standing together to guard the statue of the goddess of Chishan.

This statue of the goddess of Chishan is very simple, in Zhao Jia's opinion, she is not even as good as the gold-plated stone person outside, she is life-size, her face is painted red, her eyes are inlaid with cyan jade pieces, and the corners of her mouth seem to be smiling. The top of her head was indeed drenched with a lot of Donghu blood by Zhao Jia, but the goddess was indifferent, still as if petrified, maintaining a mysterious smile on her face, and not saying a word......

Zhao Jia asked the soldiers to take the statue of the goddess, along with the gold men and bronze artifacts, down the mountain, and they would become the spoils of this expedition and be brought back to Zhao. Then the soldiers used the embers from the bonfire outside to burn the entire temple, and the raging fire rose on the red mountain, and the black smoke filled the air, which could be seen dozens of miles away.

Outside the Red Mountain, there were still some Donghu tribes who did not have time to go to the Gongwei Temple, they saw this situation from a distance, and their faces were suddenly colorless, and they began to flee in the opposite direction. Most of them fled to the lower reaches of Liaoshui in the east, while others chose to go north, to the depths of the Daxing'an Mountains, which are densely forested and even more barren......

For these scattered and fleeing remnants of Donghu, the Zhao army had no way to continue to pursue.

The new young dog said: "Those remnants of the Hulu can't catch up for the time being, burning the temple and destroying Chishan City is tantamount to breaking their backbones. The rules on the grassland, the remnants of the defeated tribes have no face to continue to use the previous title, the name of Donghu, I am afraid that it will disappear in the world. ”

In the early morning of the next day, the Zhao army, together with the surviving Donghu slaves, tore down the entire walls of the city, and burned all the buildings in the city.

Afterwards, the new dog decided to escort the thousands of Donghu people captured at the foot of the Red Mountain, along with 100,000 livestock, as well as the gold and silver treasures plundered by the Donghu people in the past few years, to end the expedition.

Zhao Jia is no longer the age of a willful little girl, and she also agreed to this plan, but before leaving, she took people up to Chishan again, returned to the ruins of the Chishan Temple, and knocked on a big dark stone on the edge of a cliff, and began to carve inscriptions......

When the remnants of Donghu fled far away, and Zhao Jun also evacuated contentedly, the vast Chishan regained its ancient tranquility again, and the only thing left was a huge stone carving of seal characters in addition to the ruins on the Red Mountain, which was deeply carved into the stone, and dyed red with the blood of the Donghu people, the glyph was high-spirited and vigorous, but with a trace of woman's unique delicacy:

"Last year, Beiyu Donghu jumped Liang Yu Yan and Dai, and the people of Yi were unbearable, so please cut them down. General Longcheng Yu was sent to cut it down, the general was brave and sharp, went deep into Beimang, and cherished the treacherous schemes of Hu Yu, the general died, and the army was overthrown. The public was furious, and said: "Those who commit crimes against China will be punished even if they are far away", so they went to Daibei to the north of the three counties. It is the army in the city of Dai, deterring the people of Lou Fu, Dai, and Tu He Restraint Monarchs. On the day of the oath, the car rode 10,000, the cloud covered the road, and the long hub was four points; Eight thousand apprentices, Xuanjia is shining in the sun, and Zhu Qi is in the sky......

The army then approached the secluded land, descended to the Yin Mountain, passed through the moraine, and was absolutely desert. Shangjun Sima said that the post was completed, and he arrived in Haize first, and beheaded Hu Lu with 3,000 heads to provoke the golden drum. Then, with Taiyuan Sima said Xu Qu, Daijun Sima said the new dog to join forces, the six divisions were horizontal, leaping gravel, and the chief of the captive said Liuhe battle in the water of Raole. It was a battle, the corpse was bleeding, the enemy was broken, 30,000 captives were captured, and the three generals were awarded the head of Liuhe, and their heads were hung in the north of Zhao State!

Liuhe is dead, the first evil has been punished, and then Donghu left the ugly and fled to the east, so the county Sima Xinzhi dog, and Zhao Hulou annoying captain Zhao Jia rode lightly to chase it, and turned around, looking at the river and the river, over the Yan Mountain, across Raole, to the red bee, see the area of the willow river. The northern captives are vicious, the heavens are angry, and we slaughter their cities, burn their shrines, plow their courts, and sweep their caves. Since then, Donghu has been depressed for thousands of miles, and there is no left in the wilderness, and it has been returned by the god Hu and the people who sacrificed to the heavens.

This battle is not more than the battle of the moon, and then the story of Qi Huan is restored, and the anger of Yan and millions of people is revived; On the basis of securing the heirs, restoring the realm, and vibrating the sound of the heavens in China, there will be no more disasters in the north. The so-called one-time work and long-term rest, temporary expenses and eternal peace also. Jia was fortunate to come here with the army, and felt that after a thousand years of virtue in this battle, he sealed the mountain and published the stone, and showed his virtue.

His words said: King Shuo Shi Xi conquered the desolate descendants, suppressed the murderous and cruel overseas, destroyed its court and the boundary, sealed the red hills and built Longwu, and the Xi Gong was mighty and vibrated forever! ”

――On the first day of June in the summer of the ninth year of the ninth year, Zhao Hulou annoyed the school captain Jiashu!
