Chapter 348: Qihu Flees North
p
Er Zhuyu thought about it and found that there was only one way to go north to the Northern Wei Dynasty.
However, at present, the person who makes Er Zhu Yu most anxious is the two thousand tribal elite cavalry under his account, which is his biggest reliance on rampant in northern Jin for many years.
Moreover, if you go to a foreign country, as an outsider, you can't get a foothold without the backing of a strong army and horses.
Just as Erzhu Yujian was pondering, he saw his son Erzhu Yude walk in.
Glancing at Erzhu Yude, Erzhu Yujian sighed leisurely.
"Yu De, right now, Wang Zhongde is leading the army to the north, and the people in the tribe are even more fluctuating."
"And the leaders who originally said that they were advancing and retreating together have also left, and it can be said that the entire tribe has reached the point of life and death."
"If you continue to be trapped in the lonely city, I am afraid that you will die and have no place to be buried."
"Father, why do you say that?!" Erjuyud's face was full of disdain.
"The Han people have always been cowardly, how can they be my opponents of the Qihu warriors?"
"My son is not talented, and I am willing to lead the troops south to meet Wang Zhongde."
"Confused! How many of us are there? And how many Hexi troops are there? ”
"Even Murong Yong, Tuoba Jue, Yao Xing, Murong Chui and other heroes of the Hu clan are not opponents of Hexi people, how dare you speak out?!"
"That's their incompetence." Facing Erzhu Yujian's reprimand, Erzhu Yude was angry.
"You...... You, do you think it was still decades ago? Han people let Hu Lu bully? ”
"Today, with the sudden rise of the northwest, the power of the Han people has completely risen, and Zhuhu is about to usher in the catastrophe of extinction."
Erzhu Yude glanced at his father Erzhu Yujian, and asked depressedly: "Then isn't there no way out for me to Qihu?" ”
Hearing this, Erzhu Yujian was silent for a while, and suddenly sighed.
"Well, it's not lifeless."
"Could it be that my father has a good plan to break the enemy?"
"Where is there any clever way to break the enemy, it's just to take advantage of the enemy's army before it arrives and flee first."
"At present, Hexi Africa is an enemy, and you and I must withdraw from Xiurong as soon as possible."
"Ah, evacuate? Where can we go without Xiurong? ”
Erzhu Yude was reluctant, and the atrocities of the Qianhu caused the anger of the Han people, and under the call of the king of Wumourning, he launched a crazy revenge on the Qianhu.
Their ancestors managed to escape the pursuit, and finally fled to the mountains of Luliang Mountain to live in seclusion.
Later, in order to survive in Xiurong, even the clan name was changed.
Today, Qihu has long regarded Xiurong as his own home, how can he say that he will give up.
Not to mention that once he leaves Xiurong, Qihu is afraid that he will become a rootless wanderer again.
For Chihu, who knows all too well the pain of displacement, they are reluctant to try again.
"If you don't leave, you can't do it, most of them are looking at each other, staying is equivalent to death, and only by going north can you hope to live."
"To the north!?"
Listening to his father's plan, Erzhu Yude said with a shocked face: "Father, Yanmen Pass is still in the hands of Hexi, how can we drag our family to cross Yanmen Pass?" ”
"If you are discovered, won't it be a dead end?"
"You're wrong, this time you didn't leave with all the people, only two thousand elites."
"Wait for you to go out, and quietly gather two thousand Qihu warriors, one with three fast horses, and bring more dry food."
"This time we made a detour to Luliang Mountain to avoid Yanmen Pass."
Erzhu Yudeden understood his father's intention, which was to cut off his tail to survive.
Erzhu Yujian knew very well that all the people in the tribe would not be able to escape the pursuit of the Hexi army.
Rather than this, it is better to leave with the elite.
"Okay, son, I'll do it." Erzhu Yude gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
This is the only way for Er Zhu Yujian to survive at the moment, and as for the others, he can't care about it anymore.
If it weren't for the desperate situation, how could Erzhu Yujian be willing to abandon the tribe.
Even Xiurong didn't want to give up, but in order to escape, this was the only way.
And in order not to alarm the Hexi army, he didn't dare to set fire to Xiurong, so he could only cheapen Hexi for nothing.
……
"Oops! Chihu wants to escape. As soon as he received the secret report, Wang Zhongde saw through Er Zhu Yujian's calculations.
He glanced at Gao Jinzhi and said with a wry smile: "Erzhu Yujian is really not simple, he has such courage. ”
"Governor, what's the matter?"
"Chihu has fled."
"What!?"
When Gao Jinzhi heard this, he got up and frowned and asked, "When will it be?" ”
As early as before the expedition, everyone thought that there was nowhere to escape from Qihu now, and there was only one way to be exterminated by Hexi.
Clinker, before the Hexi soldiers were in Xiurong, Er Zhu Yujian actually fled from under his nose.
I heard that there are more than 10,000 people in the Qihu tribe, how can so many people run?
What's more, Tan Daoji has already blocked Yanmen Pass and blocked the way for Qihu to flee north, where else can they run?
"Just now the scout came to report, the night before Xiurong City Gate was wide open, about 2,000 Qihu left the city late at night and went to the northwest."
"Northwest? That's not the direction of Luliang Mountain? It seems that Qihu is going to cross Luliang Mountain and flee to the Northern Wei Dynasty. ”
"Governor, the last general is willing to be the vanguard and pursue the enemy army." Gao Jinzhi bowed down and asked for his life.
Even if it was a little late to make amends, but the matter had come to this point, and we couldn't watch Qihu escape so grandly.
Wang Zhongde immediately nodded and said, "Enter it, you will lead three thousand light horsemen to the north first." ”
"Remember! Catch up with the enemy, don't rush into battle, and hold off the opponent first. ”
"When the main force of Pontus' army arrives, try to destroy the enemy."
"The last general commands."
Gao Jinzhi excitedly hugged his fists, beat the horse and turned away.
After arranging the chasing soldiers, Wang Zhongde wrote another letter to Wei Shuo, reporting the incident in detail.
……
Soon the front-line military report was transmitted back to Jinyang, and after Guo Yi read it, his face couldn't help but change.
"A strong man breaks his wrist! Most of the protectors, I'm afraid the king will not be able to catch up. ”
Wei Shuo waved his hand indifferently and said, "I can't catch up, and Shuo doesn't take any Qihu in his eyes." ”
"It's no longer the Yongjia period, even if Shi Le and Shi Hu are reborn, what can they do? Destroy him in the same way. ”
"Even so, my subordinates are unwilling after all."
"If the Erzhu father and son were successfully eliminated this time, they would definitely be able to deter other Hulu, but now they have fallen short."
Wei Shuo also sighed secretly, even if he saw through the enemy's intentions, it was too late in time.
He admired Er Zhu Yu's courage a little, and he was indeed a character to be able to choose a strong man to break his wrist so decisively.
However, on the whole, the overall situation is still under Hexi's control.
Policies such as the land equalization system, the large farm plan, and the organization of households and the people are dealing with ordinary people, families, and Hulu respectively, and the prefecture is in the process of rectification in an orderly manner.
When all aspects are normalized, he will leave the state and return to Guzang.
Thinking of this, Wei Shuo glanced at Guo Yi and asked, "Zhongju, do you want to go to Guzang to have a look?" ”
Guo Yi's heart moved and asked, "The lord is ready to leave and merge with the state?" ”
"Yes, there are dragon sparrows and Zhongde in Bingzhou, as well as Jinzhi and Daoji, Shuo is very relieved!"
"Dare to ask Daduhu, when will you leave?"
"When Zhongde comes back, I'll explain a few more words and set off."
"My subordinates are willing to follow the lord."
At this time, it has been more than half a year since the last time he left, and it is estimated that several children will not know him as a father.
For this reason, Wei Shuo secretly made up his mind that when he returned to Guzang, he would accompany his family well.
……
As everyone expected, Gao Jinzhi failed to catch up with Qihu after all, so he had to return depressed.
At the same time, Wang Zhongde successfully entered Xiurong City and captured a group of old, weak, sick and disabled.
The rebellion began so suddenly and ended so quickly that many people have not even reacted to it.
Although the population of the Qihu tribe is small, it is brave and good at fighting because of Zhu Yujian's father and son, and it has a reputation in the northern Jin Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, even such a powerful tribe had no choice but to flee in the desert when it encountered the Hexi army, which greatly deterred the rest of the Hu people.
Next, in the face of Hexi's policy of compiling households and uniting the people, the Hulu leaders no longer dared to object, and handed over the herdsmen one after another to settle in the city.
……
The nineteenth year of the Taiyuan Dynasty, that is, 394 A.D., was indeed a year of great changes.
Not to mention the demise of Xiyan, even Houyan, the former number one power in the north, has been completely reduced to a second-class force.
In addition, Yao Xing, who was once ambitious to revitalize Later Qin, was also completely decadent due to the defeat of Pingyang.
After returning to Guanzhong, Yao Xing was no longer as wise and martial as before, and was immersed in Buddhism all day long, as if he could only find solace in a piece of nothingness.
At the same time, the loss of Pingyang and Hedong made the Later Qin completely lose the eastern barrier.
It must be known that Hedong has always been a springboard for entering Guanzhong, and if you want to ensure the safety of the eastern part of Guandong, you must firmly control Hedong.
It's a pity that with the defeat of the Qin army in Pingyang, the two major forces in Hedong: Hedong Liugong, Fenyin Xue Wei and Later Qin were separated from Germany.
From then on, Later Qin was completely blocked by Hexi in Guanzhong, and was eventually annexed by it.
Only Hexi and Northern Wei have expanded their strength, becoming the two strongest forces in the north.
