Chapter 540: The First Twenty Years, the Next Fifty Years
Two thousand cavalry, which doesn't sound like much, is a piece of cake in the mouth of a storyteller in a wine shop, and it is even less worth mentioning than what general threw a million soldiers into the river, and it is even more just an addition to a small battle. Throwing a whip to break the river, is there anything in history? Yes! But the spectacular scene of 100,000 iron riding across the Yellow River, looking at the poetry and books, is only once, and it is still the Xiongnu southward that the Han historian is most reluctant to mention.
The gap between reality and legend is reflected at this moment, 2,000 cavalry, equipped with more than 4,000 war horses, and more than 2,000 mules and horses, ox carts and carts used for loading goods are countless, auxiliary soldiers plus logistics plus grain, the entire battalion exceeds 5,000 people!
A felt tent bloomed on the grassland, and the cooks and grooms, the grain and grass, the people who poured feces and urine outside the tent, and the ones who cooked meat in the middle of the aisle, were chaotic and harmonious.
Zhan Dashan came to a relatively clean area in the central area, and walked into a white tent, in which there were already more than a dozen generals waiting for him.
"See the King!"
Zhan Dashan waved his hand to show that there was no need to be polite, gave the seats one by one, went to the throne, and said after a moment of silence: "The 3,000 cavalry reinforced by Lou Jinghan has already left the mountain pass, and in three days, it will be able to reach Huangpo and join the 1,500 defeated troops who retreated, which is an army of nearly 5,000 people." There are still more than 2,000 remnants of the Yaoli in the south, and now in front of us are nearly 7,000 iron horsemen. ”
The generals who had already sat down looked at each other, not so frightened that the three thousand cavalry reinforced by Lou Jinghan were unexpected.
If it was only the previous enemy, the nearly 4,000 defeated defeated army, the elite of the 2,000 who occupied Dashan, and dared to say that they would fight a battle, and even according to the experience of previous battles, they could say that they could not be ignored. However, after suddenly joining the 3,000 new forces, the situation changed.
The 3,000 elites of the Guydal Department came just in time. Otherwise, as long as it takes half a month, Zhandashan can be broken one by one with fine cavalry, and then seize Huangpo, and then control the Qilian Pass, firmly blocking the trade route. In less than a year, the Xi people at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains will be in civil strife.
However, the old and spicy Lou Jinghan has already seen through everything.
Aren't you imposing? Aren't you unstoppable? Well, I'll give you a slap in the face and get you from heaven to hell.
Zhan Dashan glanced at the generals below, these people, some of them are the backbone of the king's tent wolf ride, and half of them are the upstarts who have been promoted rapidly in recent years, and their abilities are beyond doubt, but they lack the polishing of actual combat. is also due to the lack of polishing, the number of young generals who originally accounted for two-thirds is now only half of them.
"King, our army is absolutely inferior and invincible"
"King, the enemy army is strong, you can temporarily avoid the edge."
"Now that the enemy has been defeated, you might as well return to Xiyuan and recuperate before you try"
"Absolutely not, once you retreat, it will definitely affect the morale of the army!"
"At this time, how can you retreat! Kill! Fight your way up to the sky! ”
"Great King, the last general steals"
Zhan Dashan leaned forward slightly, showing that he attached great importance to the opinions of his subordinate generals, but his thoughts had drifted thousands of miles away.
"A, we've met a wolf."
"What?! How much? ”
"Hmph, how much? There must be more than a dozen of them! ”
"So many?! It's over."
"It's over? Fart! Thirteen wolves scared you? Don't pull me! I'm going down and kill them all!" ”
"Ann answer, if you want to go to me, I will lure them away, and you go back to the tribe to report the news! I'm running fast, and the brutes won't be able to catch up with me! ”
"Bastards are going to go together!"
Zhan Dashan thought about the first time he and Zamuqi quietly went into the mountains to hunt, and they encountered a group of hungry wild wolves, trapped in a big tree, and they were in a dilemma.
But isn't it, two teenage children, there are only three or two arrows left, and they lost a knife because of panic, how to fight?
As for running, don't be kidding, an adult steppe wolf, even if it meets a war horse, it is not false at all, let alone an underage child?
So the final result was of course, too unexciting, two children who had no hope of escaping stayed in the tree for two days, relying on a few bird eggs, until the tribe's search and rescue cavalry came to help.
Zhan Dashan's eyes were slightly moist, and he said in his heart, now there is a group of wild wolves in front of me, a group of wild wolves who will not give up if they don't eat me, what should I do? At that time, I was scared, and you were still there, thinking that it would be worth it to die if you were led away alone. I'm still scared, but who can face it with me?
Zhan Dashan's distraction, this is not a common phenomenon, it is not long before the generals who are talking and even arguing gradually stop, looking at this young but absolutely tough king with strange eyes, and their hearts are drumming.
The needles in the big tent could be heard, and there was no movement in Zhandashan.
The wolf cavalry general coughed lightly unnaturally, but Zhan Dashan ignored it, so the oldest general in the big tent had a little unbearable on his face.
Your Majesty, you are just distracted, so can you pick a time? I've already reminded you, you quickly pretend to be interrupted by deep thought and wake up quickly, why do you still fall in and can't get out, not for the sake of face, the king can't let the soldiers suspect anything, you must know the majesty of the superior.
The generals looked at each other at first, and finally bowed their heads.
When the wolf cavalry general couldn't help but interrupt Zhan Dashan bluntly, Zhan Dashan raised his head and said with a smile: "It seems that most of you feel that you should back down, and after returning to Xi Yuan, you will slowly figure it out?" ”
This question made many people re-energize, and they gave advice one after another, and some people even thought about how to retreat and how to explain to Qin Guo. Zhan Dashan listened to them with a smile and did not speak.
The wolf rider general's face was unnatural again, he naturally knew that what the young king was thinking was different from what was on his face at this time, and the quieter he was, the more angry he was in his heart.
Sure enough, when the sound of the retreat in the big tent reached its peak
"Shut up!"
Zhan Dashan slammed the table and stood up, and when he roared, he drew the scimitar at his waist and stuck it on the ground.
The military tent was suffocated, and the faces of many generals instantly turned red and white.
"Escape? Where can we run? Where is our home? ”
"Xi Yuan, it was the Qin people who gave alms, Xi Yuan is not our home!"
"Our home is in Qilian, at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains! We were originally the descendants of the gods of the Tianshan Mountains, but now we are lonely ghosts and ghosts who have wandered and displaced! ”
"The enemy has occupied our homeland, divided our property, humiliated our brothers and sisters, and now they are going to rise up and kill me.
"Tell the king, where do you want to retreat? Is it to return to the arms of the Qin people as an obedient family dog? ”
"Nope! This king does not allow it! Only cowards will retreat, this king has dignity, and this king will not retreat. This king is the descendant of the god of the Tianshan Mountains, that is, the wild wolf on the grassland, who eats meat for thousands of miles, and will never be reduced to a domestic dog and be dominated by people! ”
"So this king is going to fight! This king is going to fight to the death! ”
Zhan Dashan looked around and said lightly: "Now, who wants to retreat?" ”
"Now, who wants to fight to the death with me?"
There was a moment of silence in the tent, and then a desperate cry erupted.
"Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Fight to the death! ”
Zhandarshan pulled out the scimitar and did not put it into the sheath.
Father, Ann A, you see, now I am no longer the child who is helpless when faced with a strong enemy and only knows how to wait. I am very strong, there are many people behind me, they all dare to die with me, I am the son of the god of the Tianshan Mountains, the son of your father, the brother of Anda, I, Zhan Dashan, dare to fight to the death, and do not disgrace my dignity
I lost the Tianshan Mountain, where is my home?
I lost my clothes, and my tears stained my clothes.
I want to go back to my hometown, but the road is long and obstructive.
It's long gone home, and you know whether you survive or die?
When I couldn't bear to wait for my head to die, the childhood girl in my dream asked when I would return home? ――
In the Jindu, there was mourning.
The most famous and brave general, the most feared executioner, the most arrogant and arrogant magnates, and the most bold and direct man in the past 20 years of the Great Jin Dynasty died.
Uncle Xie is a weirdo. This is the Jindu people's evaluation of Xie Yi.
Uncle Xie is the most powerful general in the Great Jin Kingdom since Sima Deguang, the general of the Great Pillar Kingdom, and it is rare to meet opponents in the world in the past 20 years. In terms of merits, in the Southern Song Dynasty, children can stop crying at night, Guanshan Fifty Prefectures is his masterpiece, and the red gate of Suzhou City is his merit book. In Beiyan, tens of thousands of Youzhou iron cavalry were wiped out, and Youzhou was stabilized by Fan Yang for more than ten years, and the internal fighting was fierce, and the northern army took advantage of it. In Western Qin, there was no eastward advance after Bai Yan, and the 100,000 army that was finally gathered a few years ago, Bai Liangyu and Xu Huan became the world's famous generals, and returned with a feather. And the old opponent in the northwest, Xianbei, Duan Pishan Baiqi was spared, and Tuoba Rui threw a whip and smiled bitterly.
Uncle Xie has fought a lifetime of battles, so he is naturally an executioner, some people say that there are 200,000 people who died in his hands, some people say more than that, at least 300,000, and some people even say that there are tens of thousands of cities in Suzhou City, and so on. Some people also say that Lord Admiral has only been in power for three or five years, and he has tens of thousands of lives in his hands, known as the little butcher, so the real butcher Xie Yi has three or five hundred thousand.
Uncle Xie can fight and kill, his temper is still hot, his family background is a first-class gate valve in the world, and he is the favorite minister of the Son of Heaven, so it is natural to walk sideways in the Jin capital. It is said that when Uncle Xie was young, he dared to beat General Li of Yu Linwei. As for this small, how small it is, some say seven years old, some say eight years old, and some say when wearing open crotch pants. It is difficult for people today to appreciate the arrogance of Uncle Xie back then, but as long as you think about Xie Shenwei, the son who has inherited the charm of Uncle Xie, you can see the whole leopard at a glance, needless to say.
And Uncle Xie is still a well-known hero in the Jin capital, who is chivalrous and righteous, spitting and nailing. There are countless powerful people who have been beaten by him in the Jin capital, but there is no ordinary people with ordinary heads. With this alone, Uncle Xie made the people of the entire Jindu like it. That is, those who beat those who are officials all day long and don't bully the common people, where can such a good person find a second one.
There are very few gate lords and magnates who can fight, dare to fight people, be unreasonable, and don't bully ordinary people, so Uncle Xie is a strange person in the eyes of the people of Jindu, and he is generally a good person. And as far as public opinion is concerned, among the Xie family, the uncle's reputation is the best. Now Uncle Xie, who can make the husband and wife grateful to Dade and often brush some jokes to make the ordinary people happy for a long time after dinner, has died, and many people are very sad.
"Uncle Xie is dead, and Jin is boring."
"The prince is not smiling, the little marquis is far away in the sky, and he really has no energy."
"Uncle is a good person"
"Hey! Uncle is a real man, let's serve. ”
"It's a pity that good people don't live long."
"Hey! Let's say it's good people, what do you think of them, what do Song people, Yan people, Qin people, Xianbei people say? The karma of killing is too heavy, and it is difficult to escape the cause and effect of heavenly reason. ”
"This is true, but without Uncle Xie, this Jin capital will be lifeless after all."
"Yes, I think back then, Jin Ge Iron Horse, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger, the little marquis has literary talents, kills a corrupt official, and makes a good poem."
"Back then, Suzaku Street rode all the way to the palace gate, which angered many families and frightened how many Xiaojiao and Niang, and it may not be there in the next fifty years."
"What's the saying? There are talented people in the country, and they have been leading the way for decades? ”
"No, the first twenty years, the last fifty years, isn't it just decades."
