Chapter 1138: Return to the Wild Goose into Hu Tian

"Eilechuan, under the Yin Mountain. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe sky is like a dome, covering the four fields.

The sky is vast and the wilderness is vast. The wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep ......"

Standing in the boundless, undulating prairie, Zhao Jia's eyes saw the Yinshan Mountains dozens of miles away in the north, which were like a line, and above the mountain system, there was a more vast blue sky and white clouds.

As he grew older and his eyes broadened, Zhao Jia's admiration for his brother did not weaken at all, but became more intense.

I can't help but admire Zhao Jia, when she was just born, Zhao was only one of the six secretaries of the Jin Kingdom. By the time she arrived, Zhao had already become a great country and the lord of the world.

All of this is thanks to Zhao Wuxian's genius, her sky is supported by her brother, and her world is opened up by her brother.

Now, she finally left her brother's wings and began to witness all this that he had never witnessed, but she was stunned to find that no matter where she went, she could not get rid of her brother's shadow, such as now.

"My brother has never been to Yinshan, why can he sing the magnificent beauty of this place in a short song?"

It seems to be immersive, and it seems that it has lived here for decades, and it can say what the grassland people see and think. Although Zhao Jia asked all the people, he did not find the tribe named "Eile", and he did not know where the so-called "Eilechuan" was.

At this time, more than ten days have passed since the army of Zhao Guoxi Road left the fortress, and the two thousand horses and Loufu cavalry commanded by Zhao Jia were arranged on the left flank, and let her march north as much as possible to the foot of Yin Mountain.

Unlike Donghu, which began to appear at the eastern foot of Yanshan Mountain and initially unified all the tribes, hundreds of small tribes were still scattered along the narrow strip from the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain to the Hetao, with many clans and endless fights. But in general, they belong to the same ethnic group, and their language is not incomprehensible to the Lou Fu language, which is considered to be the "Rong people", and it is similar to the language of the Donghu people, but the difference is still very large, and the two sides need to compare and draw in order to communicate.

Zhao Jia didn't know that although both sides were Altaic languages, the tribes under the Yin Mountain belonged to the Turkic language family of later generations, that is, the ancestors of the Turks and Uighurs. Donghu is the Mongolian language family, and Donghu is the ancestor of Wuhuan, Xianbei and Mongolia.

The two language families are one east and one west on the grassland, and they are distinct. In the ignorant grassland, blood, clan, and language are all important judgments to distinguish friend from foe. It is the westward advance of the Donghu people, which will also threaten the safety of the various departments of Yinshan.

Therefore, the strategic purpose of Zhao Jia's department, in addition to protecting the flank of Youcheng, is also to deter the various departments of Yinshan, let them know the interests of Zhao Jun, and tell them that the sky of the grassland has not changed! The wings of the eagle of Zhao Guo are still covered with Yanshan and Yinshan!

When Zhu Wenze rested, Zhao Jia stepped forward and asked the interpreter, who was proficient in the language, to say to some nearby tribal envoys: "The Zhao people only like to plow the fields, and are not interested in the pastures of yours. But the Donghu people are different, they can completely expel the Yinshan tribes, take this fertile pasture for themselves, and forcibly occupy your wives and daughters, after one or two generations, the subjects of the Yinshan tribes are afraid to change to speak Donghu dialect and regard themselves as Donghu people! “

This is not alarmist, some of the big tribes in the steppe, the origin of which is very complicated, often a combination of several or even a dozen or twenty tribes. But they all took the name of the most powerful and respected tribe as their name, so Donghu, which was not big at first, gradually became the collective name of the tribes east of Daze, and the same was true of the Xiongnu, Mongolia, and Xianbei in later generations.

The wave of Daijun Tuntian was far from affecting the various departments at the foot of Yinshan Mountain, but it was the mutual market trade in Mayi and Longcheng that benefited them a lot. In contrast, it is still Donghu that poses a greater threat. Since the Zhao army could dispatch thousands of cavalry at one time, and the entire grassland was not its opponent, the various divisions at the foot of the Yin Mountain also wisely chose to surrender, saying that they would never collude with the Donghu people and do things that harmed the Zhao State behind their backs.

After the plan of crossing Yin Mountain and cutting off Donghu's arm was completed, Zhao Jia led the army to continue to march northeast to catch up with the pace of the post.

Compared with Yu Xi's northern expedition last time, Zhao Guo's intelligence work this time was better, and an important place for the Donghu people to live in grazing had been found by the caravan sent by Yidun. The Western Road Expeditionary Force will cross thousands of miles and point directly to the spring pasture of Donghu: Daze!

……

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" contains: Donghu is in Dazedong.

Daze, also known as Da Lenuoer, means "sea" in the Donghu language, and the Donghu people have never seen the sea, but think that this vast lake is the largest body of water in the world.

The turquoise surface of the lake is like a mirror left on the grassland, calm and waveless, and the lake is overgrown with reeds and inhabited by a variety of rare birds. The south shore of the lake is an undulating sandy land with lush forests, and the east and north sides of the lake are open and boundless grasslands, which are in the middle of summer and May, with lush pastures and blooming flowers. The gorgeous and colorful lake and grassland are refreshing.

This is one of the cradles of the Donghu tribe, the last time Yu Xi went on a northern expedition, there was no trace of Donghu for more than a thousand miles, in fact, they gathered here.

Donghu was also originally a fragmented tribe, not affiliated with each other, but because of the common worship of the goddess of Chishan, they were full of convergence and formed a tribal alliance. But in the end, it was the Liuhe Department that unified the order of this alliance and got the saddle and stirrups, so that the cavalry of the headquarters was quickly strong.

The Donghu people are full of reverence for Liuhe, believing that he is the tallest flying eagle on the grassland, but this time, Liuhe seems to have stabbed a hornet's nest, bringing endless trouble to the Donghu people.

Ever since the Donghu attack on the bereavers of the Daijun Frontier, the powerful Zhao State began to notice this alliance of tribes that had been unified in advance and sent a large army to conquer it. Last time, the Donghu people took advantage of their familiarity with the grassland to constantly lead those Zhao people by the nose to the depths of the grassland, and threw the animal carcasses cursed by the sky into the water, poisoning the Zhao people and making them return in distress.

But in the face of those Zhao cavalry who were armed to the teeth, Liu He didn't even dare to intercept their retreat, so he could only let them retreat.

I thought that I would be able to stop for a few years, but who expected that in the summer of this year, the army of Zhao State would kill again......

The national strength of the Central Plains is terrifying!

This time the situation was even more severe than the last time, with a three-way army and more than 20,000 chariots and horses, and the Donghu people had no choice but to give up the large grasslands they had occupied and retreat eastward, following the example of last year's war.

But there is no way to retreat, it is spring, it is the season when livestock need pasture, until the last resort, the Donghu people will not withdraw from Raoleshui, let alone give up their holy mountain Chifeng. Therefore, the young and strong of all tribes were gathered by Liuhe and tried their best to delay the attack of the Zhao army, while the old and weak women and children of the tribes in the west hid in Dalainuoer. They drove cattle, sheep and horses to the lake to settle down and live, hoping that the goddess of Cangtian and Chishan could still bless Donghu and bless their Kunfu brothers.

Unbeknownst to them, the rider scouts roaming the west were being chased by a group of horseshoes armed with horseshoes that could run longer on the steppe, and by the time the warning came back, it was too late.

When the Ministry of Postal Cheng and Zhao Jiashuai arrived, the Donghu people on the bank of Daze were driving the cattle and sheep back into the circle, the loud pastoral songs echoed by the blue lake, the horse whip was crackling, the shepherd dogs were running in front of the herdsmen's horses, and the children were playing in front of the tents, a joyful scene.

In an instant, disaster struck, thousands of Zhao rode to the lake, where the bowstring sounded, and the herdsmen fell from their horses; The war knife flashed, and the skin of the Donghu people opened. The sound of horses' hooves broke through the peace of Dalenor, and the sound of killing made Zhao Qi, who ate rice noodles for a living, also show his hideous fangs.

The young and strong riders of the Donghu people are all in the Rao Leshui area, and they didn't expect a Zhao cavalry to appear in the rear, and they were not prepared at all, plus there were only more than 1,000 people who could fight, and the equipment gap was large.

No one will have mercy, no one will be soft, even Zhao Jia showed the most cruel side, she wore a hideous silver mask, galloped all the way, pulled a bow and arrows, and shot Donghu people to the ground, only when facing the woman with the child in her arms, she would hesitate for a moment, and the arrow was slightly off the beaten path, shooting at the others......

After most of the day's fierce fighting, the battle ended, and the unprepared Donghu people were completely defeated with heavy casualties. The Zhao army captured nearly 10,000 men and women of the Donghu tribe by the lake, a large number of tribesmen, and 100,000 head of livestock, and won a complete victory!

So many captives, you don't know how to deal with them for a while, some people suggest that it is better to follow the example of the thieves and slaughter all the prisoners, this is the most convenient way, although the law of Zhao strictly prohibits killing prisoners for no reason, but the law also stipulates that this regulation is only for the civil war in Zhuxia, Rong Di barbarians, not in mercy!

Seeing that more than 10,000 people were about to die, Zhao Jia came forward and proposed: "The man who is taller than the sword can be killed, but the woman can stay, I am willing to guard them here!" “

After Zhao Jia put on the mask, she was a skilled female general with a bow and horse, but after she took off the mask, there was still a trace of "woman's benevolence", she did not prohibit the soldiers under her command from killing, but there was only one point, she strictly forbade ****** Cheng agreed to Zhao Jia's proposal after thinking about it again and again, but there were still two or three thousand old men and men who died under the butcher's knife, and the blue Dalenor instantly turned into a sea of blood.

At the same time, in the upper reaches of Rao Leshui, where Yu Xi, the "Dragon City Flying General", was once buried, Liu He, known as the "King of Donghu", did not know the drastic changes that had taken place in his rear, and he was celebrating with the adults of various departments, and was complacent about annihilating more than a thousand lost Yan Guo chariots......
