Chapter 1: Indelible Shame
"Drums! Hurry up and beat the drums! Wolf smoke was found in the distance, and the Huns were coming! ”
The earth seems to be trembling, and the Hun cavalry ghosts who can't see the end howl wolves drive the horses under the seat to Yanmen Pass, and the roaring hooves of the horses seem to tell that a tragedy of nomads burning, killing, looting and abusing the farming people will kick off again......
'Knock-knock-knock-' The eager warning drum sounded through the Yanmen Pass. The northern border of the Han Dynasty www.biquge.info including Yanmen County, Hexi County, Dingnang County, Dai County, and Shanggu County all ignited wolf smoke representing the invasion of the enemy.
Looking at the Yanmen Pass from afar, the beacon fire of the border outpost is everywhere, the simple fence can not stop the roaring Hun iron cavalry, one after another Han banner was chopped off by the Hun sabers, and fell to the ground to be trampled by the Hun iron horsemen. The Han soldiers stationed at the outpost fought to the last man, and the outpost fell, and the Huns cut off the heads of the Han soldiers who died in the battle and stuck them on the wooden stakes of the fence.
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was three years after Emperor Jing (141 BC).
Today, Liu Qi, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, is ill, and the illness is getting worse and worse, and all the energy of the Han State is transferred to the critical moment of paying attention to the emperor's condition.
Due to the critical illness of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the border troops of the northern counties were not aware of it at first, and due to the influence of the rebellion of the Seven Kings in the first three years of Liu Qi's accession to the throne (154 BC), most of the border troops were called back to monitor the unstable princely kingdoms, resulting in insufficient troops to defend the Xiongnu in the border area, so that the border counties were full of fires.
Many of the border counties of the Han Dynasty were breached, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians of the border counties fell into dire straits.
Now the Xiongnu army forced the Han court border town Yanmen County, most of the Han court Yanmen County defenders were transferred to the Guanzhong area to monitor the unstable fief of the former Zhao King Liu Sui, the Yanmen Lieutenant happened to be patrolling the border fortress, before the first battle was killed, the Captain in charge of the military of a county was killed, and the heavy responsibility of defending the border pass fell on the body of Feng Jing, the Taishou of Yanmen.
Too many coincidences, too many accidents have caused the saddest year for the Chinese nation, and it is also the most miserable year for the four counties in northern Xinjiang. In this year, the months-long invasion of the large and small nomadic peoples on the farming peoples caused a rapid reduction in the number of personnel in the four counties of northern Xinjiang, and more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians were killed, wounded, and taken captive, equivalent to 40% of the population of Dinglang County, Yanmen County, Dai County, and Shanggu County at that time.
It was in this year that the Han royal family called the "hatred of humiliation" of the burning of Ganquan Palace shook the Han Kingdom, when Liu Che, who was still the crown prince of the Han Dynasty, heard that the Huns, Wuheng, Yu Shen and other aliens invaded northern Xinjiang and Ganquan Palace was set on fire, Liu Che, who was about to hold the enthronement ceremony, was determined: This life will repay this shame!
……
Yanmen Pass, the Han sergeant rushed out of the tun hut, and the Han sergeant wearing a red robe and a black armor held a spear and shouted a trumpet to climb up the city tower. Looking back at the Han soldiers standing on the battlements of less than 2,000 people, and then looking at the approaching Xiongnu army, Feng Jing, who was a civil official, raised his sword to look at the sky, at this time his mind flashed the young figure of his son Feng Lin, he understood that he could not be spared this battle, and let out the last roar of his life:
"Fight to the death! Men of the big man! Canglang's slogan was so desperate in the sound of horses' hooves.
At this time, Yanmen is still a small border county, Yanmen Pass is also a loess, straw and stone cast up but more than two zhang (Han Dynasty is 2 meters 31) of the earthen wall, since the Han Gaozu Emperor failed in the northern expedition, the Xiongnu intensified the move of plundering in the south, the Han court in order to consolidate Chang'an and Sanfu and other rich defense in this border pass to set up a border county, the Tunbian army moved the border people, Yanmen County was not formed until the period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, but still could not bear the heavy responsibility of blocking Hu Lu to the south.
Although the Hun cavalry is not good at attacking the city, but the Yanmen soldiers are few and the city wall is short, and the pass is broken after two days, Feng Jing, the Taishou of Yanmen County, dies in a military battle as a civil official, and the head is beheaded by the Xiongnu thousand commanders who are besieging the city.
The two thousand Han soldiers were also loyal to the country, their headless corpses were tied up and hung under the battlements, and their heads were cut off by the Hun soldiers to be brought back to the grassland to make wine vessels, in order to boast of their military exploits.
In the three days after the fall of Yanmen Pass, more than 20,000 soldiers and civilians of Yanmen County were killed and wounded, and most of the strong men and women were driven by the Hun cavalry and concentrated in the border tun to wait for the fall.
A month later, the looting and burning Huns gathered at the sound of horns, and the Xiongnu military ministers were unwilling to continue southward, his goal had been achieved, and he did not want to risk losing too many troops to provoke the Han state. The purpose of the military minister Shan Yu was to plunder the border counties of the Han Dynasty to his heart's content, watch the Han infighting, and choose the opportunity.
The Huns enjoyed the obedience of the Han court for more than ten years, and as long as the Huns were on the border, the Han court would always send beautiful princesses and relatives to pay tribute. The military minister Shan Yu also had an intention to lead his troops south this time, that is, to use 100,000 iron horsemen to tell the Emperor of the Han Dynasty: My Great Huns still lack a princess of the Han Emperor Court to be the Yan clan (read zhi)!
The so-called Yan clan is the name of the Xiongnu for the Han court and the princess, which is equivalent to the queen of the Han people, but the Yan clan has no rights in the Xiongnu, but only enjoys an empty lofty status.
The Xiongnu are now very powerful, but the Xiongnu have not yet been able to swallow the rich Central Plains, the military minister Shan Yu understands this very well, so after looting, he wants to withdraw his troops, the county soldiers in the interior of the Han court are gathering in this direction, he has completed the warning to the Han court, and set fire to the Han Emperor's palace (Ganquan Palace) as the most powerful deterrent, and it is meaningless to consume it again.
"After withdrawing the troops, send an envoy to the Han court, and when the old emperor died, he told the little emperor that the Han and Hun had been the country of uncles and nephews since the Han Dynasty. Let him send me a real princess! If you don't send the real princess, this single Yu will personally lead 300,000 iron horses to Chang'an to rob it, and then it won't be a mere princess who can finish the job! ”
In fact...... The military minister Shan Yu led the army south this time to resent the fake peace incident of the Han State a few years ago, and wanted to take revenge on the Han court while the emperor of the Han Dynasty was critically ill.
After the order to withdraw the troops was issued, the Han Chinese, who had been driven together by the Xiongnu, were divided into batches, the old and weak were in a pile, the women were in a heap, and the strong men were tied up under the threat of swords and guns. They were driven to the wasteland of the border county, and were driven into the sheepfold temporarily fenced by the Huns like cattle driven by the Huns with sharp blades.
The Huns felt that it was useless for the old and weak to bring back to the grassland, dragged the old and weak Han people to the open place, and sang loudly to praise the "Kunlun God" to give them a great victory, so that these old and weak lined up to kneel in a long row, and the Huns standing behind raised their scimitars and slashed hard, as if they were weeding, and the heads rolled under the force, and the green grassland changed color, and the grass blades were no longer clear dew, and a pinch of the original blue and bright grass was sprinkled with the blood of the Han people!
……
Lin Bin was watching, he was standing with his eyes wide open on the edge of the wooden fence of the sheepfold watching the killing and torture in the distance, watching those innocent old people and young children being escorted to kneel on the ground, and then beheaded in crying. No one could remain indifferent to such a tragedy, his eyes widened, his teeth clenched, and he had already bitten his lip unconsciously, and a stream of blood dripped down his chin and fell on his strong chest.
The wind in the north of Xinjiang is like a knife, blowing so much that people are hurting all over the body, the wind blows, the dry grass and the yellow sand are rolled up together, but no matter how much the dry grass and yellow sand can not cover the inhumane slaughter, a headless corpse is carried and stacked together by the Hun soldiers, and the corpse gradually becomes a Mount Tai accumulated with the blood and tears of the Han nation, which makes people unable to breathe.
Why is this happening!? Lin Bin's mind was very confused, he didn't know why he suddenly appeared here, only that he had just come here, and he had already been the wealth of the Huns for half a month.
He was a paratrooper of the Republic who, during a mission, lost consciousness after jumping off a transport plane, and woke up in this completely unfamiliar place. He wandered aimlessly around the place for half a month, and then was taken in by a kind old man, at which point the only thing he could praise was a military dagger.
It was a dagger no more than four inches long, no more than two fingers wide, with a green holster. On the handle of the knife with a circle of protruding ring patterns, there is also a brightly colored pattern engraved in the pattern, in the pattern is a ring with a grain spike-like lace, a bright red five stars are set in the ring, and two Chinese characters are vertically embedded in the five stars - 'Bayi', and the scabbard depicts the other two characters 'Lin Bin'.
The slaughter in the distance continued, and the Huns liked to use the massacre to tell the Han people who had just become slaves: you must obey the master, the master is the supreme being, and the only way to violate the master is death!
Lin Bin clenched his fists and looked at the slaughter in front of him, watching the clansmen who were also Han people die under the scimitars of the Huns, he looked back at the Han men who were also bound, and saw the humiliation in the eyes of these men, everyone gritted their teeth, and there may be these people's old fathers and mothers and even their young children and young daughters among the old and weak people killed in the distance.
The sky is vast, and the invasion of the weak by the strong is always so natural, and there are piles of corpses in the distance, and there are gradually a few blood channels on the ground. In the barren border county, there is no scene more vivid than the color of the blood canal, which tells not only of the inhumane massacre, but also of an indelible mark in the hearts of the entire Han nation - shame!
