Chapter 266: Unexpected
Once a son of heaven and a courtier, this proverb from the Central Plains also applies to the grassland.
When Saisang became the king of the Xiongnu, he would surely expand his tribe and promote the tribes of his cronies in order to consolidate his hard-won royal power.
Promotion and expansion are not out of thin air, there is a way that the wool comes out of the sheep, with the rise of the Xiongnu tribe of the Saisan lineage, there will inevitably be a decline of some tribes. So who will these tribes be? Naturally, it is a cronie tribe of the former Xiongnu king Qiangqu.
It's all self-evident, and you don't have to think about it at all.
Compared with the dynastic battles in the Central Plains, the battles between the grassland tribes were more cruel. For defeated tribes, the patriarch will be executed, the population will be divided, and the pastures will be divided.
Therefore, Qiangqu reminded the tribal chiefs close to him that when he failed, the tribes that followed him would suffer as well. The tribal chiefs present changed color in unison.
Qiang Qu sneered at this time and said, "If you want to leave, this king will definitely not stop you." But this king believes that you will return to the embrace of immortality sooner than this king. ”
As the sword was sheathed, the eldest prince Yuvro and the second prince called out to the kitchen fountain and motioned for the soldiers to get out of the way. And none of the patriarchs who were previously controlled left.
Seeing this, Qiang Qu breathed a sigh of relief, he returned to the throne and took his seat, and asked, "You can go, let's go, let's go......." ”
The patriarchs did not leave, they were very embarrassed and very afraid. They understood that what Qiangqu said was very right, even if they left Qiangqu now, there would soon be a day when the rising Saisan extremely cronies tribe would wipe out them, the cronies left behind in the Qiangqu era.
The patriarchs did not leave, but they all expressed their loyalty. Subsequently, someone said: "Great King, the rebellion of those Huns and the dog court are united, and the momentum is very great, how can this be good?" ”
Qiang Qu had already planned and said, "We can leave temporarily and go to Mobei." There is a sentence in the Central Plains. Ten years of childbirth, ten years of education, and a taste of courage. When he said this, he got up and said loudly, "One day." We will come back and make the court of traitors and dogs pay the price. ”
If you can't beat it, you can leave, which is indeed a wise choice. Moreover, the Huns are nomadic people and often migrate on weekdays. Lift the tribe away. It didn't bother them in the slightest.
However, a patriarch reminded: "King, Mobei is a cold place, and there is not enough water and grass. If we had migrated far away, I am afraid that we would not have had a chance to come back in this life. Even if we are old, we are afraid that our children and grandchildren will not be able to come back. ”
For nomads, without lush aquatic grasses, they cannot get enough food, and without food, they cannot raise the population. You can't gather strength. And the Huns of Saisan occupy the rich steppe, and their strength must be increasing year by year. When the time comes, Qiangqu and their descendants will not be the opponents of Saisang and others.
The hall was silent, and the bleak future worried Qiangqu and the tribal chiefs.
At this time, the eldest prince Yuvro stepped forward and reminded, "Father, we can go west. The ancestors said that there is a vast land and fertile grasslands in the west. And there are not many barbarians who occupy there. Not at all an opponent of my Hun warriors. ”
The vast land to the west that Huvro refers to is the Aral Sea and the Caspian Sea region, as well as the eastern and central European regions. In later generations, it was the domain of the Golden Horde, one of the four khanates of the Mongol Empire. It was also the period of Attila the Huns. The western territory of the Xiongnu Empire.
And for the current Huns, it is a place of legends left by their ancestors.
However, Qiangqu made a decision, "Then go all the way west, and one day, we will return to this grassland and take back everything that belongs to us." ”
Cheers rang out from the palace.
In the time that followed. Qiangqu and the tribal chiefs loyal to him took action. Since the Huns were nomadic people, the process of preparation was quickly completed.
After a day and a night, 40,000 Huns gathered. Among them, 10,000 warriors of various tribes were outside, and 30,000 old and young women were weak. They followed the Qiangqu and marched westward.
Another day later, at the foot of Wolf Juxu Mountain, the base camp of the officers and soldiers.
Qin Feng convened a military meeting, and Saisang attended the meeting as an observer.
Qin Feng sat on the tent and said: "There are many tribes loyal to Qiangqu, and it is reported that a day ago, all these Xiongnu tribes gathered in the royal court of Qiangqu. It seems that Qiangqu is going to put up a stubborn resistance and make the last dying struggle. ”
As a representative of the Huns, Saisang analyzed the combat power of Qiangqu, "The population is about 40,000, and the soldiers who can fight should be about 10,000." ”
Qin Feng looked at Cao Yuan Liu, "This force should not be underestimated, I wonder if you have any good suggestions?" ”
Cao Yuan and Liu looked at each other, they had the ability, but fighting in a foreign land was greatly reduced.
Qin Feng looked at Xun Yu.
Xun Yu groaned slightly, and said: "My lord, Qiangqu summoned all the people who were loyal to him to go to the royal court, regardless of the old and the young. In this way, the families of the soldiers controlled by Qiangqu were all in the royal court. Our army now has an absolute advantage, and it can attack the royal court openly and force Qiangqu to fight a decisive battle ...... head-on. ”
"Makes sense......." Cao Yuan and Liu said one after another.
At this time, the colonel of the official army's Tanma arrived, "report to the ......, the commander." After finding out the military situation, Qiangqu and his tens of thousands of people had already abandoned the royal court and went all the way west. ”
"What?" Including Qin Feng, everyone was taken aback.
"Not good!" Qin Feng's face changed, and he got up and said, "Qiangqu, this rabbit cub is going to run away!" ”
"Runaway?" Yuan Shao's head is big.
Cao Cao's face ****: "It turns out that he summoned everyone to go to the royal court, not to fight with us, but to run away collectively." ”
Liu Bei fanned his ears, and suddenly said happily: "Handsome, it's good to run." If you run away, you don't have to fight, and we can triumph. ”
Thousands of miles away, after a long battle, who doesn't want to go home?
Suddenly, Liu Bei's words reached everyone's hearts.
Saisang's face was also happy, Qiangqu ran away, and he could become the king of the Huns.
Qiangqu's run was unexpected, but it was good news for everyone.
Cao Yuan and Liu looked at Qin Feng with blank eyes, and the homecoming in their eyes was clear at a glance.
For Qin Feng, he had already completed his personal work in the Xiongnu. His father-in-law will become the king of the Huns, and he will marry back the most beautiful pearl of the prairie.
So, Qin Feng slapped the board, "Wait for this marshal to go to the court, report the victory for you, and wait for the news of the court to return." We'll lead the way back. ”
Saisang hurriedly hinted, Qin Feng hurriedly appeased, and said, "Patriarch Saisang rest assured, on the chapter." This marshal will show the great merit of the patriarch and recommend the patriarch as the new king of the Huns. ”
After he finished speaking, it was also a hint.
Saisan hurriedly said in secret that he was ready to marry his daughter immediately.
So, the happy ending. Saisang is about to become the king of the Huns, and Qin Cao Yuan and Liu will make meritorious contributions. Among them, Qin Feng not only made meritorious contributions, but also married his daughter-in-law, which is really a great joy, and no one will miss it.
That evening, Saisan held a grand tribal dinner to celebrate the victory.
And the fast horse that sent the music galloped under the moonlit night.
Eight hundred miles of urgency, two days later, arrived in Luoyang.
this day. Luoyang Imperial Palace, Deyang Palace.
"If you have something to do with the class, you will play early, and if you have nothing to do, you will roll up and retreat to the ......." Zhang Rang shook off the dust, and the male duck shouted.
As soon as his voice fell, when no minister came out, Emperor Han Ling spoke first, which came from his concern about the war of the Xiongnu, and asked anxiously: "General, I don't know how the war in the grassland is?" Has the rebel Qiangqu been eliminated? ”
When the officials heard this, their eyes were all focused on He Jin.
He Jin had already cracked his mouth to the back of his head. He was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Your Majesty's Hongfu, I received the battle report from the front late yesterday night. It was so, so, so, and so ......, that General Qin subdued the Xiongnu tribes for the imperial court. And the Qiang Canal had no way, and all the rebels left, and fled with their tails between their legs. ”
"Win?" Emperor Han Ling was overjoyed, and immediately jumped out of the throne and shouted, "Quickly take Qin Aiqing's recital and let me see it!" ”
Less.
"Really won!" Emperor Han Ling shook Qin Feng's recital and burst out laughing.
Hundreds of officials headed by Wang Yun, Yuan Kui and others. It is also a celebration of the crown, and they all tell that the court is another victory. They didn't forget Emperor Han Ling, so they slapped the tide of dragon farts.
Facing the dragon fart rushing in his face, Emperor Han Ling laughed even more heartily.
The hundred officials were like a wave of sycophants to He Jin, and said one after another: "If it weren't for the general's good command, An could have won this victory?" ”
He Jin is also happy, as the leader of the current imperial court and the supreme commander of the army, he has nothing to ask for. What he needs to do most now is to encircle his henchmen, so that when something happens in the future, someone will work for him.
Therefore, He Jin wanted to ask for credit for the subordinates who brought him victory, and he held his chest that was almost up to his chin, and said: "Your Majesty, colleagues, this is a great victory, the Huns have completely surrendered, and it has not been seen in more than a hundred years. This is all because His Majesty is wise and martial, and he has a good way of governing the country and the army. His Majesty's Wenzhi can be compared to Emperor Jing, and his martial arts can be compared to Han Wu. ”
Emperor Han Ling blossomed, and he couldn't help but say: "The great general's contribution is indispensable, and the merit is indispensable." ”
He Jin sang a hymn, and when he saw the effect, he said: "The soldiers who led the army in front of the battle also contributed a lot. Among them, the former general Qin Feng has the greatest credit. The minister proposed that His Majesty should follow the example of Han Wu and crown the former general Qin Feng as the champion marquis, so that he could be named Wolf Juxu. In this way, it will deter the grassland, and promote the great Han Tianwei and His Majesty's cultural and martial arts in the four seas! ”
Feng Wolf Juxu refers to the success of the Western Han Dynasty general Huo Quai's climb to the Wolf Juxu Mountain to build an altar to worship the sky, and later the Feng Wolf Juxu became one of the highest honors of the Han people in foreign warfare. The Han people sacrificed to the sky in the Huns' Wolf Juxu Mountain, which had a great deterrent effect on the grassland.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was ignited by the hymn, and he felt that his Wenzhi was really above Emperor Jing, his martial arts were really above the Han Wu, and Emperor Guangwu of Zhongxing had to stand aside. And since then, he has become the most wise and martial emperor of the Han Dynasty, as a wise and martial emperor, how can there be no famous general under his command?
So, Emperor Han Ling was very excited and said: "That's it, the edict added Qin Aiqing as the champion marquis, let him seal the wolf Juxu, let him seal it immediately, and immediately sacrifice to the sky in the wolf Juxu Mountain!" ”
Feng Wolf Juxu, to this day, there is no third person after Huo Qu's illness Dou Xian. The wolf dwellers are all unparalleled famous generals in the world, and there is no one.
And Qin Feng is about to become the third general in five thousand years, who is a wolf and a hero. This is bound to go down in history and become a legend in the history of the Chinese War.
Just when everyone praised the prosperity of the Han dynasty and the beginning of the prosperous era. Zhang Rang, who had a grudge against the three capitals, gritted his teeth. He rolled his eyes, and suddenly had a brilliant idea. He looked at Emperor Han Ling, who was immersed in the martial arts of Wenzhi and martial arts around him, and said secretly: "Look at the means used by this palace, so and so and so to listen to Liu Hong, see if Qin Zijin can still seal the wolf Juxu?"
