Chapter 207: Fufeng Maoling has the Geng family

Cao Cao didn't care about the affairs of the court at all, and quickly stepped up and arrived at Fufeng Maoling, where the Geng family gathered. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Yuntai 28 will be the founding heroes of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the 28 stars should be the 28 generals of Yuntai.

Geng Yi is the uncle of Geng Bing and Geng Gong, the national heroes who were as famous as Ban Chao and Dou Gu during the Ming Emperor.

In addition, General Fubo Ma Yuan has made great contributions, and the official statement is that because his daughter is the Empress of Emperor Ming, Emperor Ming avoided suspicion and did not include it.

Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Ming Dynasty remembered the heroes of his father, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, and placed the portraits of twenty-eight meritorious generals in Nangong Yuntai. Later generations also corresponded these generals to the names of the twenty-eight stars of the heavenly court in myths and legends, which is the "Yuntai Twenty-eight Constellations".

There are seven Oriental Qinglong, namely Deng Yu of Jiaomu Jiao, Wu Han of Kang Jinlong, Jia Fu of Ditu Raccoon Dog, and Geng Yi of Fang Ritu.

Geng Yi, the word Bozhao, a native of Fufeng Maoling, is young and studious, and especially loves military affairs. In the first year, he defected to Liu Xiu. In the following year, he led the Shanggu cavalry to attack Wang Lang with Liu Xiujun. In the first year of Jianwu, he worshiped General Jianwei.

Geng's father and son were loyal to the royal family, had outstanding meritorious deeds, and were treated favorably by the emperor. In the twelfth year of Jianwu, Geng was seriously ill, and Liu Xiu personally went to visit him.

Geng Yi's younger brother Geng Guozuo became the captain of the horse, and Geng Guo's younger brothers Geng Guang and Geng Ju both became lieutenant generals. History said: "The six brothers of Yi are all blue, serving medicine in the province, and they are proud of contemporary times." ”

In addition to Geng Yi, his father Geng Jing, younger brother Geng Shu, nephews Geng Bing, Geng Kui, Geng Gong and others are all famous generals. The three generations of a family used soldiers and still made meritorious contributions, breaking the prophecy of the ancients that "three generations will be defeated".

Yue Fei's famous poem "Manjianghong" in the eternal quatrain, "Ambition to eat Hunu meat, laughing and thirsty to drink the blood of the Huns", is about Geng Gong's deeds in the first year of Emperor Zhang's founding of the first year of the establishment of Shule City.

In that battle, Geng Gong resisted the army led by the Xiongnu Shan Yu himself for many years, ran out of arrows, and even squeezed horse dung for water, and boiled leather armor and stewed crossbow strings to satisfy hunger.

At that time, the entire Western Regions may have fallen into the hands of the Xiongnu.

In March of this year, the Xiongnu Shan Yu sent Zuo Luli King to lead 20,000 troops to compete with the Han Empire for the Western Regions, and the Xiongnu army was like a bamboo, breaking through the Cheshi Houguo that belonged to the Han Empire, and surrendered the small countries such as Yanqi in the northern part of the Western Regions.

Chen Mu, the newly appointed protector of the Western Regions of the Han Empire, was killed in battle, and the Guan Pet Department stationed in Liuzhong City and the Geng Gong Department stationed in Jinpucheng were surrounded.

Most ministers think that rescue is unnecessary, the loss of the Western Regions is inevitable, and those warriors are already destined to sacrifice for the country!

However, the young emperor was moved by the determination of the ministers represented by Situ Baoyu: the Han Empire has never cooled the blood of heroes, and even if this rescue is doomed to failure, it must be announced to the world that the Han Empire will never give up the warriors who fought for him!

In fact, Geng Gong took advantage of the heavy rain to launch a surprise attack on the enemy and successfully escaped from the encirclement.

In May, Geng Gong led his troops to move to Shule City because of water problems.

There is a stream of water flowing through Shule City, which can ensure drinking water in summer; At the same time, Shule City is the main road between the south and north of the mountain, which can prevent the Xiongnu from attacking the small countries in the western regions in the south of the mountain.

The Huns soon discovered Geng Gong's intentions and once again besieged Geng Gong's troops in Shule City.

They once built a dam upstream of the stream to block the water source, and tried to die of thirst for the Han army, but failed. The nearby countries have all surrendered to the Xiongnu, and the situation is very dangerous.

Because the Han army continued to die of battle, disease, and starvation, only a few dozen people remained, and no one wanted to surrender to the Xiongnu.

The soldiers who had been trapped for a long time were starving to death, so they had to put the leather armor on their bodies into a pot, boil it softly, and then cut it into pieces and divide it into pieces, and chew it to satisfy their hunger.

Later, when even the leather armor was eaten, he had no choice but to dismantle the crossbow and boil the leather strips on it and the tendons used for the bowstring. Armor and weapons are undoubtedly the second life of a warrior, and they can't be taken care of in order to fill their stomachs a little.

At this time, the Xiongnu Shan Yu came to the city in person, knowing that the Han army in the city was extremely exhausted, but they did not surrender.

Although the Huns were ferocious, they were upright and respected the heroes, so they respected Geng Gong and promised to crown him king.

At this time, a shocking scene happened - Geng Gong promised to surrender, and tricked the Xiongnu envoy into the city, killed it with his own hands, and then cut the flesh of the corpse and roasted it in front of the Xiongnu army in the city!

Geng Gong used such actions to completely cut off the back road of surrender. It's not so much that you are hungry and trick a "food" in, but that you have a heart and swear to die.

Yue Fei's "ambition to eat Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty to drink the blood of the Huns" is exactly what he said.

In the first month of the following year, the rescue army of the Han Empire finally arrived in Liuzhong City, and the Guan Pet army had been completely annihilated.

In such a cold weather, the rescue army thought that the more difficult Geng Gong army could not exist, so the generals who commanded the army, Qin Peng, Wang Meng, Huangfu Yuan, and other generals, decided to return, after all, they could not risk putting the whole army in danger.

However, Fan Qiang wept blood and asked to go to Shule City to see, although everyone thought it was impossible, but they still gave him 2,000 troops. He led his troops forward in the snow, along the north of the mountain, and finally reached the city after many hardships.

There is not much Han army left in the city, and those who are still alive have no combat ability, and in the middle of the night, they noticed that an army was coming, and they thought that the Hun army was taking advantage of the snow to fight, and they were shocked and desperate.

Fan Qiang shouted from afar: "I'm Fan Qiang!" It's not the enemy, it's the Han Dynasty that sent troops to greet Captain Geng and save you back home! ”

At this time, there were only twenty-six people in the city. Due to the starvation and weakness of the soldiers, there were many dead people along the way, and when they arrived at the Yumen Pass, there were only thirteen people left, and their clothes were torn and ragged, describing them as haggard and withered.

Zhonglang arranged for Zheng Zhong to arrange for Geng Gong and others to wash and change their clothes.

And put a chapter to the emperor, hoping to commend Geng Gong: "Geng Gong held the lonely city with a meager army, and when the Xiongnu were at the stronghold, in the face of tens of thousands of enemy attacks, he ran out of thoughts and exhausted his strength. ”

"Digging wells from the mountains to get water, boiling bows and crossbows as food, with the determination to die without a lifetime, killing and wounding thousands of enemy soldiers before and after, finally loyal and brave, did not embarrass the country."

"Geng Gong's righteousness is really unprecedented in ancient and modern times, and he should be given a prominent title to encourage the generals."

Geng Gong returned to Luoyang. Bao Yu also played the emperor, saying that Geng Gong's righteousness surpassed Su Wu's, and he should be given a knight's reward. As a result, the imperial court appointed Geng Gong as the cavalry captain.

Geng Kui's character is the duke, Geng Bing's brother, Geng Yi's nephew, and he is rarely decisive.

In the third year of Emperor Yongyuan of the Han Dynasty, the generals Geng Kui and Ren Shang once again defeated the Northern Xiongnu and captured more than 5,000 people of their empress dowager princes.

Since then, the remnants of the Northern Xiongnu tribe have no place to stand in Mobei and have been exiled all the way to the west. Three centuries later, the remnants of the Xiongnu finally reached the northern shore of the Black Sea, causing the original Visigothic tribes to invade the Danube westward.

The Danube natives of the Vandals were driven west by these "losers" to invade the Roman Empire. The once-powerful Roman Empire could not withstand the rolling tide of these barbarian peoples, and finally perished.

Therefore, General Geng Kui's blow was like a powerful finger pushing down a domino, leading to the great migration of nationalities that affected the entire world pattern. After the Northern Xiongnu Khanate fled, the Southern Xiongnu were attached to China and never became a climate again.

From the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the present, the Geng family has produced two generals, nine generals, thirteen Qing, three princesses, nineteen liehous, Zhonglang generals, Huqiang lieutenants and assassins, two thousand stones and hundreds of people.

It can be said that the Geng family became a giant family in the Eastern Han Dynasty and a historical witness of the coexistence and death of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Along the way, Cheng Yu kept talking, Cao Cao's heart was surging, and his heart to become the general of the Han Dynasty to conquer the west was even stronger. (To be continued.) )
