Chapter 147: Old Qin
In the 32nd year of Qin Shi Huang (215 B.C.), the general Méng hatched the north to attack the Xiongnu, seized the south of the river, and placed Jiuyuan County.
In the following years, Méng Tian attacked several times and expelled the Xiongnu to the north of Yangshan (Yin Mountain), where he could get as much land as he could, and from then on the Xiongnu did not dare to go south and herd horses.
The northern fake land is the area north of the river and south of Yangshan.
Bei Fake Land and Henan Land is the most abundant water and grass area in the whole Hetao area, at the same time the land is also extremely fertile, and there is the natural irrigation convenience of river water, which is very conducive to farming, after Méng Tian won Henan and Beijiao, Qin Shi Huang sent more than 100,000 military and civilian households from Guanzhong and Guandong to fill the border, and at the same time repaired the Great Wall of Zhao north of Beiqiao to resist the invasion of the Xiongnu.
However, it is not only the Central Plains people who live in Henan and Beijiaodi, but also the Hu people.
There are three main Hu people in this area, namely the Linhu people, the Lou annoying people and the Aries people, of which the Linhu people are mainly nomadic in Yunzhong County east of Jiuyuan, the Aries tribe is nomadic in Henan, the Lou annoying people are in the north of the fake land, and the Méng Tian is chasing the Xiongnu in the north, and these three Hu people have all joined the army of the Qin Empire and made a lot of efforts.
In return, Méngtian allowed the three Hu people to continue their nomadism in Jiuyuan and Yunzhong.
Lin Hu, Bai Yang, and Lou Fu didn't dare to have any disobedience, because Méngtian's 300,000 Great Wall Legion was the elite of the Great Qin Empire, and the total population of these three Hu people was only a few hundred thousand people.
Until the death of the first emperor, Zhao Gao fabricated the edict of the first emperor, and gave the death of Méng Tian and Gongzi Fusu, and the Great Wall Army guarding Jiuyuan County was changed to the grandson of the famous Qin general Wang Jian, and the deputy general of Méng Tian Wang Li commanded, and at the same time, in order to appease the old department of Méng Tian, Hu Hai appointed Méng Tian as the deputy general of Wang Li.
In the first year of Qin II, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang launched ** in Daze Township.
Soon, the trend of ** spread to the entire Kanto, the remnants of the six countries have joined it, for a time every day, Qin II hurriedly built the 200,000 prisoners of the Afang Palace in which mountain to arm, commanded by the general Zhang Han, east out of Zhao to quell the rebellion, and at the same time urgently ordered Wang Li to lead the Great Wall Army south to assist in quelling the rebellion.
Wang Li's Great Wall army was finally defeated by Xiang Yu at Julu.
However, Méng Tian's false son Méng did not accompany him, because Hu Hai gave Méng Tian to death, Méng died against Qin II, so he was unwilling to fight for Qin II to quell the rebellion, Wang Li and Méng died well, so he did not force it, but went to the court to show Méng as the chief general of the remaining army, and left 100,000 troops to Méng.
Three years later, the once-prosperous Great Qin Empire collapsed.
The Great Wall Army that stayed in Jiuyuan also collapsed overnight, and the soldiers and civilians of the six Kwantung countries left one after another, only the old troops of Méng Tian and some of the old Qin people remained, and after this great change, only 5,000 people remained in the 100,000 left-behind legions, in addition to more than 30,000 old and young people of the old Qin people.
When Liu Bang and Xiang Yu competed for hegemony in the Central Plains, the situation in Jiuyuan also became delicate.
Because at this time, the strength of the Great Wall Legion has shrunk severely, from 300,000 troops to more than 5,000 people, although the remnants of the Great Wall Legion are still there, but it is no longer enough to deter Lin Hu, Lou Fu and Bai Yang, the three Hu people, as time goes by, Bai Yang, Lou Fu and Lin Hu began to covet the land, iron, cattle and sheep and Fu Yu of the old Qin people.
When the Chu and Han dynasties entered the fifth year, the friction between the old Qin people and the Lou Fu, Bai Yang and the Linhu tribe had been extremely frequent, and there would be several cases of snatching cattle and sheep almost every day.
Wells, wells, wells, wells, wells.
Jiuyuan, the general's line.
Méng was drinking sullen wine.
Méng was originally just the son of a small colonel under Méng Tian, in the battle of the Hetao of Méng Tian's northern pursuit of the Huns, this small colonel blocked an arrow for Méng Tian, and died on the spot, Méng Tian took pity on his loyalty, so he took his young son as a fake son, carefully cultivated, did not want Méng to die with a very high talent, and when he was eighteen years old, he was already skilled in arching and horses, and became a famous general of the Great Wall Army.
Méng Yan has just turned 30 years old this year, wearing a caries crown, wearing a black sè battle robe, wearing fish scales and iron armor, and his appearance also has the obvious characteristics of the old Qin people, thick eyebrows, round eyes, the muscles between the eyebrows are twisted into pimples, the mouth is up, the horns of the beard are curled, the eyes are blazing, and the whole person is like a sharp sword out of the sheath, full of awe-inspiring murderous aura.
For the attack of the Hu people, Méng Yan naturally hated it, but as the chief general of the Great Wall Army, as the backbone of the old Qin people left behind, Méng Yan knew how heavy the responsibility on his shoulders was, he must not come nonsense, it is very easy to provoke a war with Lin Hu, Bai Aries, and Lou Furen, but it is difficult to win this war.
In the final analysis, there are only more than 30,000 people in Lao Qin, and there are only more than 5,000 strong men.
What about the Hu people? Lin Hu, Bai Yang, Lou Fu three Hu people combined, there are 1780,000 mouths, no less than 50,000 people who control the strings, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, if Méng Yan rashly provokes this war, Bai Yang, Lou Fu and Lin Hu tribe join forces again, then the more than 30,000 old Qin people who remain in Jiuyuan will be wiped out.
If it's just the safety of more than 30,000 old Qin people, that's it.
But the problem is that there is another layer of concern, once the Great Wall Legion is wiped out, once all the old Qin people are killed in battle, who will protect Her Royal Highness the princess at that time?
He put down his glass and let out a long sigh.
At this moment, Méng's heart was full of indescribable resentment, if the 300,000 elites of the Great Wall Army were still there, how could these Hu people be allowed to act recklessly? Hate, hate, hate!
When Méng was depressed, a soldier suddenly entered the house and said: "General, the Hu people have ransacked one of our villages and robbed hundreds of women, children, and hundreds of cattle, sheep and horses!" ”
"Damn!" Méng was furious, and immediately flattened the bronze wine tendon in his hand.
At that moment, Méng Huo Ran got up and said sharply: "It's bearable, it's unbearable, pass on my general's order, and the pro-army team will assemble!" ”
"No!" The pro-soldier suddenly agreed, and immediately received the order, and when he turned around, the pro-soldier's eyes clearly showed a cold killing intention, these damn Hu people, they should have given them a little bit of strength.
Well, well, recklessly, on the grassland, a group of Hu people are driving cattle, sheep, horses, and fu and children to the north.
This group of Hu people has about more than 400 horses, all wearing felt hats, wearing animal skin robes, the vast majority of Hu people carry bows and arrows on their shoulders, holding wooden horse forks in their hands, only a few Hu people have bronze short swords on their waists, because the Central Plains people strictly control the export of iron tools, so for the Hu people in Mobei, the bronze short sword is already the sharpest weapon.
It should be noted that at this time, the Hu people outside the Central Plains world, whether they are the Donghu people, the Huns or the Yueshi people, have not yet entered the Iron Age, so the Huns can not have sharp scimitars at all, in reality, the weapons of the Huns are mainly wooden single short bows, wooden horse forks, bronze short swords, and the arrows are mostly cast in bronze.
However, this group of Hu riders has obviously used stirrups, although it is only two rope sleeves fixed on the saddle, but it has been able to connect people and horses into an organic whole, and the Hu people on horseback can use the rope sleeves under their feet to hang their buttocks on the horse's back and stand upright, so as to make difficult actions such as pulling the bow and slashing immediately.
For today's harvest, this group of Hu people is obviously very satisfied, more than 400 cattle, sheep and horses, not to mention, especially rare is to grab more than 100 Central Plains women and fifty or sixty children, these women will breed more offspring for them, as for those children, within ten years, they will become brave and good warriors.
The Hu people were elated, while the captive women and children were terrified.
From time to time, there will be Hu people who step forward immediately, stretch out their hands to mo, or slap the little lady's buttocks, the little girls will be like frightened deer, dodging in a hurry, Hu people will look up to the sky and laugh when they get their hands, if they miss their hands, they will immediately attract more Hu people's hip-hop ridicule.
Suddenly, a bearded man with a bronze short sword at his waist raised his right hand.
Just now, he seemed to hear a loud noise, like the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.
Seeing the Hu man with the bronze short sword raised his right hand, the more than 400 Hu riders who accompanied him stopped their horses one after another, and the laughter and commotion gradually stopped.
The next moment, the vague voice became clearer and clearer.
It sounded like thunder in the distant sky, but it wasn't quite like it.
"Central Plains!" A sharp-eyed bearded man pointed to the distant horizon in the south, and suddenly shouted in a shrill voice, "Look, it's the cavalry of the Central Plains!" When the Hu people looked at it urgently, they saw that a faint black line had risen towering on the dark green horizon in the south, and the black sè was also the country of the Great Qin Empire!
Wells, wells, wells, wells.
méng 殛信 horse by the reins, running like flying.
The earth recedes like a tide, and the sand of hunting sand cuts at the face like a knife.
On the distant horizon ahead, Hu Qi's figure could already be faintly seen, and suddenly, two gloomy flames of burning anger rose in Méng's eyes, these damn Hu people, do they really think that our old Qin people are weak and can be bullied? Today, I will let you know what is called the anger of the old Qin people!
The next moment, Méng drew his sword and raised it high above his head.
Seeing Méng draw his sword, more than 100 Great Qin Iron Cavalry also drew their swords, and one by one they raised the sharp double-edged heavy sword above their heads, and the cold blade instantly reflected the gloomy sky.
Méng Yan suddenly drew a double-edged heavy sword, and at the same time roared loudly: "Old Qin! ”
More than 100 cavalry landed and slowly spread out to the two wings with Méng as the center, while responding loudly: "Give me back the rivers and mountains!" ”
"The blood doesn't drain!" Méng roared again at the sky, and at the same time, the double-edged heavy sword that held up the liáo sky had pressed forward.
"No truce!" More than 100 cavalry eyes widened angrily, while responding sharply, while trying to urge the ** war horse, began the final sprint, ahead, hundreds of horsemen have been in a mess.
