The Xianbei people originated from the ancient Donghu tribe. After being defeated by the mighty Huns. Retreat to Wuhuan Mountain and Xianbei Mountain to become Wuhuan and Xianbei two tribes, collectively known as the Donghu nation, also known as Dongyi.

After the Northern Xiongnu moved westward, the Xianbei people quickly seized the property left by the Northern Xiongnu and became a new overlord in the northern grasslands.

After ruling the grassland for more than 100 years, the Xianbei people produced a prestigious overlord, Tanshi Huai.

The ability of Tanshi Huai is extraordinary, starting from an ordinary tribal leader to unify the chaotic Xianbei tribes in a short period of time, and then the Xianbei tribe continues to grow under his leadership.

Tan Shihuai led the powerful Xianbei tribe to reject Ding Ling in the north, defeated Fuyu in the east, attacked Wusun in the west, and disturbed the Han border in the south to occupy the Xiongnu's homeland, and established a strong military alliance.

Like all grassland peoples, Tanshihuai sent troops south to plunder the Han land soon after basically unifying the grasslands. Because the soldiers were strong, there were too many evil deeds that angered the Han Dynasty. In the sixth year of Xiping, the Han army went north from Gaoliu, Yunzhong, Yanmen and other places to attack Xianbei for more than 2,000 miles, but finally fell into a situation where the whole army was annihilated.

This battle crushed the prestige of the Han army on the grassland, and indirectly prompted the ill-intentioned Huns to see clearly the weakness of the Han Dynasty, thus breeding rebellious ambitions.

At this moment, more than 20 years have passed since the last Northern Expedition to Xianbei. The tens of thousands of Han soldiers who died in the vast grassland have long been reduced to endless dry bones, and the arrogance of the Xianbei people has made the Han people in the border area miserable. When Lu Bu was in the annexation of the state, he fought desperately with the Xianbei people with his subordinate wolf riders.

Until this moment, Gao Yang's personal commander more than 200,000 elite Han troops rushed towards the Xianbei people in the north again with a momentum that swallowed the world.

The strong army of the Great Han is back!

......

"Where are these soldiers?" In front of the large army, Gao Yang, who was dressed in brilliant armor, raised his hand holding the horse whip and pointed at the large number of cavalry surrounded by regiments in the distance, asking suspiciously.

"Back to the lord." Lu Bu, who had re-established his mentality, saluted respectfully and responded: "This is the department of the big boss of Xianbei Left Road, Putou. ”

"Oh." Gao Yang answered, and then asked, "Is he blind?" I can't see so many troops here, and I dare to take the initiative to attack? ”

"Back to the lord. Maybe he's really blind. Seeing that the opponent he had fought in the past was trapped, Lu Bu also made a rare joke.

This place is a grassland in more than 100 places north of Gaoliu, the county seat of the Great Han Dynasty. Not long after the vanguard soldiers and horses led by Zhao Yun passed, a group of more than 10,000 nomadic cavalry suddenly rushed over from a distance. appeared in the sight of Gao Yang personally leading the Chinese army.

The result is simple. Such a nomadic cavalry with obvious malice appeared near the left of the Chinese army, and immediately stabbed the hornet's nest.

Hou Cheng, who was in charge of riding and exploring horses, was taken down on the spot. The charge of dereliction of duty cannot be escaped. Hundreds of sentry guards who were in charge of covering the battlefield at this time were also arrested, and cold military law awaited them.

It is also Hou Cheng's bad luck. It wasn't that he didn't send out sentries to cover the battlefield. It was just because the Huns had just won a great victory over the Huns that gave all the Han troops great confidence and morale, and at the same time made them arrogant. Coupled with the fact that it was very close to the Han land, the arrogant Han army did not think that there would be any danger. Even if there were herdsmen who came, they would have been scared away by such a large military formation.

The cavalry that had been covered by the previous group of battlefield guards returned, but the hundreds of horsemen who replaced them were still slowly wandering on the grassland, and they were not able to arrive for a long time. Originally, this time difference was not a big deal. But it was so coincidental that at this delicate time, a Xianbei army ate the ambitious leopard, and the leopard dared to ignore the cloud-like banners on this side, and rushed straight over. And then. Hou Cheng, who was derelict in his duties, was unlucky.

"Motherfucker!!"

Hou Cheng, who was tied up by the five flowers, looked at the Xianbei soldiers and horses that were besieged by a large number of Han cavalry in the distance, stared at his eyes, gritted his teeth and scolded fiercely!

What a disaster!

He Hou Cheng has always been dedicated to the imperial court, and he also made meritorious contributions when he exterminated the Huns before. How could you have thought that it was just a little relaxing to encounter this kind of thing?!

Several cold-faced military judges stepped forward and escorted him all the way to the improvised execution ground. The executioner, who had big shoulders and a round waist and a red cloth on his head, immediately walked up with a big knife.

The army is where the most ruthless place is, especially in a strong army. In addition, they are in the midst of a wartime enemy situation. Hou Cheng, who had the right time and place, and Hou Cheng, who had all the favorable, committed a serious crime of dereliction of duty, and was not taken out by Gao Yang to kill chickens and monkeys, and to suppress the self-sufficient wind that spread in the army after defeating the Huns, how could it be?

It's actually about people. If this kind of thing is spread on the body of a military general like Zhao Yun, at most, he will be reprimanded and punished by Gao Yang. Then wear the guilty and make meritorious contributions. Hou Cheng, then Gao Yang could only pinch his nose and say he was embarrassed.

"Kill all these dog mongrels !!"

When the executioner raised his hand in the air and flashed the cold broadsword, Hou Cheng, whose eyes were full of despair and anger, stared at the Xianbei people who were surrounded in the distance. Shout out!

"Poof!"

With the burst of blood, a large head suddenly rolled on the makeshift execution table. And with warm blood sprinkled all over the ground.

The head of a middle-level general is enough to cool down the army of pride. What's more, there were hundreds of negligent sentinel cavalrymen who had their pants stripped off, exposing their dusty buttocks, lying on the ground and being 'crackled' against the board.

The execution of the army is not like the eunuchs in the palace to play any tricks, it is really hard to beat the flesh every time! When the board went down, the skin immediately opened.

After each of them had twenty canes, the sergeants had to lie down for days, to say the least. If Gao Yang is a little more ruthless, there will be no problem if he directly beheads them all according to military law! That is, there are many of them, and Gao Yang is reluctant to kill such a subordinate at one time to let them go.

Kill what should be killed, and after the punishment is over. It was the turn of the Xianbei people who suddenly appeared to be unlucky.

First, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and others led a cavalry corps of 10,000 people to kill them, and then the vanguard Zhao Yunsuo's army, who received the news, turned around and returned, and soon surrounded these Xianbei people.

Arrows fly. Knives and guns flashed. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses gathered together to form a huge battlefield. Between the shouting and neighing of people, countless lives quickly dissipated.

Facing the Han army, which has an absolute advantage in both quantity and quality. This Xianbei group that came out of nowhere was quickly defeated.

The characteristic of the steppe people is that they run when they can't win. As soon as there is nowhere to run, surrender.

Not surprisingly, after losing three or four thousand men and horses in a short period of time. The beaten Xianbei people hurriedly said that they wanted to surrender.

An inexplicable battle starts fast. It's over quickly. Six or seven thousand Xianbei people obediently dismounted and became prisoners of war, and their leader was also brought to Gao Yang.

"Who are you?" Gao Yang tilted his head slightly and looked at the Xianbei man in front of him who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, and asked with a puzzled expression. He really didn't understand where this came from, there were so many soldiers and horses on his side, and there were still people stupidly pounced on him. It's not courage anymore, okay.

"The villain is the big boss of Xianbei on the left road. Meet the General. This Xianbei man, who calls himself Putou, speaks fluent Chinese.

"Oh." Gao Yang nodded slightly. After a pause, he then asked, "It's not a small amount of courage, such a few people dare to kill it." Should I praise you for your bravery, or should I say you're stupid enough? ”

Putou obediently lay on the ground, not daring to move. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see that the Han generals around him were all holding their hands on the hilt of their swords! At this time, it can only be Gao Yang who asks whatever he says.

The actual situation is also quite simple. As the big head of the left road of the Xianbei people, Putou is the son-in-law of the second son of Tanshi Huai, and has always been famous for his martial arts among the Xianbei people. He was sent by Tanshi Huai to the vicinity of Han Land as a big household on the left side.

In the past few years since coming here, whether it is going south to plunder the Han land or attacking the nearby Huns, it has been smooth sailing, and almost no defeat has been fought. This also made the turtle born, and the pamper, who had not read a book, quickly inflated himself. has always called himself the first warrior of Xianbei.

After learning that the Han army was out of the fortress, Putou began to gather troops and horses to prepare to fight the Han army. As the overlord of the grassland, the only opponent of the Han army can only be their Xianbei people.

When Putou was young, he witnessed the great battle in the sixth year of Xiping. He had seen the tens of thousands of Han soldiers besieged and slaughtered covered with corpses on the grassland. I have also seen how the captured Han soldiers were brutally tortured to death.

Therefore, Pu Tou's heart was extremely contemptuous of the Han army. In his heart, the Han army was not the opponent of the Xianbei people at all, and he could defeat the Han army casually. This is also the reason why he dared to take the initiative to attack the Gaoyang army with a huge military formation that was so large that it was impossible to see at a glance.

Ignorance, arrogance. Once you've tasted victory, you think you're going to keep winning. Without the vision to distinguish between right and wrong, Putou is a typical grassland illiterate. Nothing but courage.

"I see." Gao Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a moment of silence, he waved his hand casually.

The bodies were buried, and the wounded were executed. Thousands of prisoners of war were sent to the rear to become glorious construction workers. They will spend the rest of their lives in endless labor.

Gao Yang refused their request to try to redeem himself according to the rules of the grassland. Gao Yang's answer was simple, he was not short of money.

In addition to Putou, there is also a famous figure in the history books among this Xianbei cavalry, that is, Putou's son, Budugen.

However, at the age of thirteen, Budugen followed his father to the distant Han land to become an excellent construction worker and learned a good craft. However, very few of these Xianbei people survive more than five years on the construction site.

Extremely poor working conditions and food supply, sick without doctors and medicines, crazy work day and night. All of this is rapidly draining the lives of prisoners of war. Budugen is no exception. He didn't live past the age of eighteen. (To be continued)
