Chapter 468: Mo Nan, My Mo Nan!
In the second year of Taixing, in the spring, the Liaodong army marched north in three ways, and when the left route army Liu Yao successfully recovered the Dongtao Plain, and the middle route army annihilated the main force of Hu Lu in one fell swoop, the right route army under the leadership of Wei Xiong and Shao Yuniang has penetrated deep into the desert grassland.
The Weixiong Department came out from Gao Xian and went north along the Liao River Plain, killing into the Liao River Plain, collecting countless Hulu along the way.
Shao Yuniang walked along the Yanshan Mountain Range, went north from the west side of the Xianbei Mountain, paralleled with the Weixiong Department on the east side, and went straight to the Xianbei nest - Daze (now Hulun Lake).
In the first century of history, the Tuoba Xianbei people who were active in the area of today's Oroqen moved south to Daze, replacing the rule of the Xiongnu, and later Tuoba Xianbei developed and grew based on Daze, and finally entered the Central Plains and established the Northern Wei Dynasty.
At the beginning of May, Wei Xiong and Shao Yuniang commanded a 40,000-foot cavalry coalition army that suddenly entered the Monan grassland, and the Monan Zhuhu panicked. First of all, the remnants of Murong Xianbei, who lived on the west side of Daxianbei Mountain, were broken by the Liaodong Army, and nearly 1,000 Murong tribe nobles and leaders were killed by the Liaodong Army, and the remaining more than 30,000 ordinary herdsmen raised their hands and surrendered to Liaodong.
Immediately afterwards, the Right Route Army swept the entire grassland from the foot of Daxianbei Mountain to the west (roughly equivalent to today's Hulun Bell Grassland), and along the way successively killed dozens of tribes that did not submit to the rule of Liaodong, and subdued hundreds of thousands of tribes, and gradually approached the west to Tuoba Xianbei's nest - Daze.
The Hulu who stayed in Daze panicked, and in desperation, everyone gathered the last young man, a total of more than 40,000 cavalry, and launched a decisive battle with the right army on the shore of Daze Lake.
The two armies fought three consecutive battles on the vast grasslands east of Daze without a victory, but at this moment came the news that Tuoba Yulu had been defeated and died. When the morale of the Monan Zhuhu coalition army suddenly plummeted, Wei Xiong and Shao Yuniang took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack and personally led the elite to attack the Monan Zhuhu coalition army.
How could the Monan Zhuhu coalition army, which had low morale, stop the wolf-like Liaodong Army? As a result, Wei Xiong rushed back and forth several times, and finally the whole line collapsed, Shao Yuniang took advantage of the situation to command the main force to cover the past, and the defeated army trampled on each other, and the dead bodies of men and horses stretched for hundreds of miles.
So far, in the first battle, the vast desert grassland north of Yinshan, east of Daze, south of Hailar River, and west of Daxianbei Mountain were all subjugated to Liaodong, and the Xianbei, Xiongnu and other tribes that originally lived in this grassland were all killed and surrendered.
After the end of the war, Wei Xiong and Shao Yuniang discussed the aftermath in Daze, as well as how to guard against Mobei Rouran and Eile.
Wei Xiong knocked on the case a few times and said: "Everyone, Mo Nan has taken it, but you have to prevent being picked by Mo Bei Rouran and Eile." ”
Hearing this, Xie Ai couldn't help but snort coldly: "Hmph! This desert south prairie was captured by more than 100,000 soldiers of my Liaodong Army after a bloody battle, and if Mobei Rouran and Eile want to take advantage of the fire to rob, we will definitely let them know that there are some things that cannot be stretched out indiscriminately. ”
Xie Ai was originally a Liangzhou scholar in the high school imperial examination, but after not wanting to be thrown by Da Sima to the martial arts academy for further study, he became a famous rising star in the Liaodong Army. This time he followed the Right Route Army to the north, Xie Ai made many military exploits, and was appreciated and promoted by the two generals Wei Xiong and Shao Yuniang.
Listening to Xie Ai's murderous words, Wei Xiong and Shao Yuniang couldn't help laughing, since the two of them joined Liaodong, they had never heard of anyone snatching anything from Liaodong.
At this time, Shao Yuniang was full of questions: "It has been more than a month since the Liaodong army killed in Monan, why is there still no movement in Mobei Zhuhu?" ”
In fact, the Liaodong army did not know the truth about Mobei, although the Hu people of the Ele and Rouran tribes coveted the grassland of Monan, but because they had been defeated by Xianbei many times, before the defeat of the Hus of Monan, Rouran and Roule did not dare to go south easily.
The two Hu people in Mobei have been trying to take advantage of the fishermen, and they hope that Liaodong and the Xianbei people in Monan will lose both, and then they will come out to clean up the mess.
"No matter what Hu Lu is thinking, in short, Mo Nan is now under the rule of Liaodong, and if the two Hu people of Rouran and Eile are honest, it will be fine, otherwise, as Captain Xie said, they will definitely make them look good."
"Two, although the big battle is over, the task of the right army is still very heavy. First of all, we must guard against the Zhuhu of Mobei, and secondly, we must complete the rectification of Monan as soon as possible. In order to meet the needs of the situation, I intend to divide the army into three from now on, General Shao, Captain Xie and a certain unified department. ”
"Among them, General Shao commanded the six-compartment cavalry to cross Daze and go to the northwest to guard Mobei Rouran, while a certain stayed east of Daze to rectify the local Hulu, while Captain Xie rode the three-box cavalry to the south and went to the Great Wall to meet Da Sima."
"Governor Weidu, will it be too dangerous for Captain Xie and Captain Xie to take all the cavalry away, and only the four-compartment infantry is left with you?"
"Eh, General Shao is too worried, now that the entire Mo Nan Hu Cavalry has been wiped out by our army, plus the nobles and leaders of various tribes have been escorted south by Captain Xie, and the rest are old, weak, sick and disabled, what is there to worry about?"
"On the contrary, the pressure on General Shao is greater, in case Mobei Zhuhu goes south, close to the cavalry of less than 20,000 people in your hands, he may not be able to stop the other party."
"Please rest assured that the last general will definitely not let a single Rouran person enter the Monan grassland."
In late May, the news of Xianbei's defeat spread to Mobei, and Rouran and Zhuhu were unwilling to fall into the hands of Liaodong, so they gathered 40,000 cavalry to attack together, and met Shao Yuniang's troops in the northwest of Daze (now Manchuria).
As a result, both sides did not care about the meaning of the previous covenant, and set up positions one after another, intending to decide the ownership of the Monan grassland by force. In the end, the 40,000 Mobei coalition army was won three times in a row by Shao Yuniang, forcing the Mobei coalition army to retreat more than 100 miles before it could stabilize its position.
After the victory, Shao Yuniang was unforgiving, swept the entire Mobei grassland (now Khalkha) from east to west, and successively killed more than 30,000 Hu people from Rouran and Eile, which frightened the Mobei Hus to flee to the west and north to avoid the Liaodong military peak.
After Shao Yuniang subdued the Mobei Zhuhu, she continued westward along the Gonglushui (present-day Klulun River) until it reached the east side of the Wolf Juxu Mountain (present-day Kent Mountain).
The bow water is winding like a belt, sparkling, and very beautiful. On the shore of Gonglu water, there is a towering mountain, which is the famous Wolf Juxu Mountain.
Wolf Juxu Mountain, was originally the place where the Huns rebred, and later the Huns moved west after being occupied by the Donghu and Xianbei people, and after the Xianbei people moved south, they were owned by Rouran and Eile.
Sealing the wolf and riding the Peerless Light Horse is the highest ideal in the hearts of every Central Plains general. Shao Yuniang stood on the mountain, thinking about the demeanor of the champion Hou hundreds of years ago, and couldn't help but yearn for it. She plans to follow in the footsteps of the champion Hou and replace all the Liaodong soldiers to complete the dream of sealing the wolf in Xu Mountain.
Shao Yuniang was dressed in her body, carrying a ring knife at her waist, standing majestically in front of the altar, surrounded by Liaodong soldiers, and even dozens of Hulu leaders who were conquered by the Liaodong Army prostrate on the ground.
Order the soldiers to put on the incense case, kill the cow and slaughter the horse, sacrifice the sacrifice, and start the sacrifice, Shao Yuniang held the incense and kowtowed, worshiped the Great Tianzun, and the rest of the soldiers knelt on the ground with her.
After sacrificing to the Great Tianzun, Shao Yuniang ordered someone to simply carve a few lines of words on the stone wall: "In the second year of Taixing, at the beginning of June, Shao Yuniang, the chief military officer under Sima Shuo of the Jin Dynasty, broke the desert north Rouran and Ele on the shore of Gonglushui Lake, and subdued tens of thousands of Hulu. ”
After completing everything, Shao Yuniang looked up and down the stone wall for a while, and instructed Hu Lu, who was still prostrate on the ground around: "You must ensure the integrity of this stone wall, if there is a slight damage, the Liaodong Army will ask you." ”
"Do as the general commands."
The Hulu were unusually tame, and they didn't dare to show a trace of dissatisfaction, they were really afraid of being killed by the Liaodong army. Don't look at Shao Yuniang as a daughter, she is not soft when she kills Hu Lu. Since she led her army into the grasslands, she has lost countless numbers of captives who have died at her hands.
The capture of Wolf Juxu Mountain marked the end of the Liaodong Army's military operations in Mobei. Shao Yuniang knows very well that Liaodong will not occupy Mobei for the time being, and may not be in the future, as long as it can expand its influence to the Mobei grassland.
Then Shao Yuniang left Mobei with her subordinates and prepared to return to the Monan grassland. Next, the focus of Liaodong will be on the Monan grassland, only by completely controlling the entire Monan, Liaodong can hope to remotely control the Mobei, and then control the entire prairie in its own hands.
