Chapter 581: Pacifying the Grassland
In a flash, another three days passed, in these three days, the battle around the stone fort has never stopped for a moment, in the north of the stone fort, is the dense Dongmugan Mountain Pass defenders, on the south side of the stone fort is the army from Sheng Le and Qi Luohou has just arrived at the 30,000 army, the total strength of the two sides is as much as seventy or eighty thousand, but limited by the terrain, there is no way to exert one's strength.
Although the grain and grass they carry are limited, and there is no snow in Dongmugan Mountain, but they are hungry to eat horse corpses, thirsty to drink the blood received from horse corpses, as long as the war does not stop, there is no shortage of water and food, and the only threatening cold can also be worn from the dead corpses, so it is not them who are in a hurry, but the Rouran people, the Rouran people are really red-eyed, but they can only participate in the war at the same time with a scale of less than a thousand people, and they make their anxious throats smoke!
Before the Sheng Le army blocked the south side, the guards took a step ahead of time to spread the news of the successful capture of the mountain pass, and after Wei Feng received it, he immediately spread it to Rouran, he had a loudspeaker, and he could shout loudly from a distance, making Yu Jiulu Shelun's blockade useless.
Late at night on the third day, Wei Feng had not yet fallen asleep, he was looking at the letter from Guanzhong, now Yao Xing's situation has been in danger, under the attack of the Quartet Alliance, Yao Xing still had the advantage of troops at the beginning, but the Tuoba clan was determined to take revenge, the bald Wei Tan and the frustrated Qu Mengxun hated Yao Xing's treachery, so everyone fought to the death, not to mention that Liu Bobo was born as a horse thief and a rogue, and it was extremely fierce, in the field, Yao Xing did not win, he could only hide behind the Chang'an city wall, and barely kept safe.
It's just that although Chang'an can't be broken for a while, the Quartet Alliance can loot the counties and counties outside Chang'an as military resources, and so far, Guanzhong is except for Chang'an. It's hell on earth!
Liu Xingnan, who was officially married to Wei Feng, had the appearance of a little daughter-in-law, and after pouring a bowl of hot tea for Wei Feng, he sighed: "General." I didn't expect Guanzhong to be like this. If you let Yan'er know that it must be uncomfortable to die, you can break Rouran and enter the customs quickly. Yao Xing has fallen into the field now, and I am afraid that he will not move other thoughts. ”
"Hey~~" Wei Feng smiled: "Yao Xing is self-defeating, calculating this and that all day long, turning his hands into clouds." Covering his hands into rain, it seems that all the heroes in the world are being played by him, don't you know that the agency is too clever and has mistaken Qingqing's life?
Yao Xing is like this, it is actually inherited by his father and ancestors, and his Yao family only got the position by giving Fu Jian a stone into the well, by Yao Chang. When it comes to Yao Xing and Yao Xing's sons, each of them is a cunning person, such a family, although I will not do anything to Yao Yan because of Yao Yan's face. But it is indispensable to imprison three generations. ”
The so-called imprisonment of three generations means that you are not allowed to go out within three generations, Liu Xingnan nodded understandingly, but asked again: "General, you can only say this here, and you must not complain about you when it is passed on to Sister Yan'er?" And it's good for Xingnan to look at Yan'er's sister. ”
Wei Feng said seriously: "Women are different from men, what women want is nothing more than to compete for favor and win heirs for their children, but it doesn't work with me, Wang Man's status can't be shaken, and the key is that I won't be confused by beauty." ”
In the first half, Liu Xingnan, Wang Daolian and Chen Maiden all nodded again and again, they were not jealous of Wang Man's status, but Wei Feng alienated Wang Man one day, that is called bad, this shows that Wei Feng has changed, and he no longer cares about the hardships of the year, but the last sentence makes them all feel nauseated, especially Liu Xingnan, who retched a few times!
Wei Feng didn't care, he picked up the tea bowl and the old god took a sip of tea, and before the bowl was put down, a dominatrix had flashed into the tent, and Shi Li said: "Your lord, more than ten people from the end of the Murwei Shen and the chiefs of the Mengwu tribe and the Wuhuan tribe ask to meet. ”
Liu Xingnan hurriedly said: "General, you must have been cut off from the back road to surrender to you, you can see it, let's go to the back." ”
"Hmm~~" Wei Feng nodded, Liu Xingnan pulled Miss Chen and Wang Daolian to the back tent, and the dominatrix also walked out quickly.
After a while, more than a dozen grassland men were brought into the tent, and they all stood in a row, all of them holding their chests with one hand, and saluting in turn: "The end of the deep end of the room Wei has seen the king of Ming, and the end of the room Wei Mengwu has seen the king of Ming..."
Everyone reported their names and surnames in turn, of course, not everyone could understand what Wei Feng said, after all, some small tribes could not communicate with Middle-earth at all, which required the translation of the deep end of the Dan and the Mughal Ancient Terrace.
After more than ten people gave a salute, Wei Feng bowed his hand slightly, which was regarded as a return salute, and said, "I don't know why you came to visit late at night?" ”
More than ten pairs of eyes looked at each other, and Meng Gutai said with a ashamed face: "We are the enemy of the King of Ming, it is really not willing, because of the great power of Rouran, if there is no disobedience, it will be the disaster of the destruction of the clan, and I hope that the King of Ming will forgive me, I took the liberty to come tonight, it is cheeky to ask the King of Ming to surrender, trying to give me and many other small clans a way to live, we are willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, eternal life and eternity for the people of the Ming Dynasty, please have mercy on the King of Ming." ”
"Bang bang bang!" More than a dozen clan chiefs all knelt down, their faces full of sincerity and pleading!
Wei Feng secretly sneered, who are these people? Needless to say, the Khitan has become a big problem for the Central Plains Dynasty since the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Mengwu are the ancestors of the Mongols, and Wuhuan has also been in the northeast, Ku Moxi thinks that the disaster is not big, but they were destroyed by the Jurchens in advance, these races have a common characteristic, they shrank their tails when they are weak and are people, once they are strong, they will inevitably get involved in the Central Plains!
The rest not only stops at them, the nature of the grassland people is to invade and invade again, if it weren't for the endless killing of the grassland people, Wei Feng would rather slaughter everything!
Seeing that Wei Feng's face was not good, everyone didn't even dare to penetrate the atmosphere, and they came to ask Wei Feng for no way, the back road was cut off, and although it was a great risk to forcibly detour from the eastern section of Yin Mountain, it was not impossible, but the key was Rouran, if Rouran also fled, they would inevitably forcibly plunder their grain, grass and horses, and at that time, even if they were not killed, they would freeze and starve to death in the vast snowfield!
In short, if they don't get Wei Feng's pardon, it will basically be a lifeless ending, and they don't have any hope for Rouran to recapture the Dongmugan Mountain Pass.
After a while, Wei Feng nodded and said: "God has the virtue of a good life, and Lone is determined to be a benevolent monarch, since you sincerely repent, Lone will give you a chance, early tomorrow morning." The lone soldiers attacked Rouran, you and other troops can raise their righteousness in front of the battle, and attack together with our Ming army, and wrap a white cloth around each person's left arm to distinguish the enemy from me! ”
"Thank you, King Ming. We'll be ready to respond! "Shen Mo Dan and Meng Wu Gutai relayed Wei Feng's words to everyone. Suddenly, the voices of thanks were endless. Everyone's face showed a relaxed look, think about it, with the help of the Ming army, the mountain of Rouran, didn't his tribe usher in a chance to turn over?
In fact, the history of Rouran's rise is quite inspirational. Before Rouran, the overlords of the grassland were the Xiongnu and the Tuoba clan, and for thousands of years, there were only these two rulers on the grassland, each leading for hundreds of years, so that many small and medium-sized tribes could not have other thoughts at all, and the meteor-like rise of Rouran pointed them to another path. That's the king and the general, would you rather have a kind?
More than ten years ago, Yu Jiulu Shelun had only a few hundred men and horses, and he was killed by Wei like a lost dog. But in just over ten years, he has become the overlord of the grassland, if he can do it, why can't he be?
"But..."Just as everyone was secretly excited, Wei Feng's gloomy turning sound suddenly exploded in their ears, which made them immediately wake up!
Yes, I have benefited from it, and I haven't paid the price yet!
For a while, the atmosphere that had just been relaxed seemed a little nervous, but it was only a little nervous, in their minds, Wei Feng was nothing more than asking for some cattle, sheep and horses, although it was very distressing, but compared with overturning the mountain of Rouran, even if the money was more, it had to be given!
Wei Feng swept his eyes coldly, and said: "Since the Tuoba clan was wiped out by Lone, the great grassland south of Yinshan Mountain has been uninhabited for thousands of miles, could it be that you are not greedy?" Can graze here, your tribe does not have to nest in the ravine and ravine to suffer too poor, since you are willing to be my Ming people, then, Lone should do some effort, after breaking the Rouran, Lone wants to ask you to move the tribe here, by Lone for you to take over the demarcation of the grazing area, not to cross the border, not to attack each other, according to the rules of service and tax, by my Ming sent to the general management, the armed forces of the Ministry under the command of the general, more than 100 military movements must receive the military order to send the general, otherwise to rebel, I don't know what you want? ”
"This...."Everyone looked at each other and moved to the south of Yinshan, they were willing to dream of it, but they lost their mobility, so what kind of nomads are they called? And the armament is placed under the command of the general of the Ming State, isn't this even stripping the military power?
Shen Mo Dan said cautiously: "King Ming, natural disasters on the grassland are frequent, if you are affected by disasters, you are not allowed to move, this.... Isn't this waiting for death in vain? Besides, we have always lived in pursuit of water and grass, and our ancestors have been like this for generations, so I am afraid it is not appropriate to settle in one place! ”
"What's wrong?" Wei Feng waved his hand: "You have waited for my Ming Dynasty, the disaster should be relieved by the court, don't worry about this, Lone treats his subordinate people equally, and what should be given will not be less than a copper coin!" ”
No one in the tent opened their voices, and they put the tribe under the rule of the Ming Kingdom, and they were ten thousand unwilling.
Wei Feng's face immediately sank, and he said coldly: "What? Don't even want this? Who said before that I would like to live forever and eternally for my people? Could it be a lie? Well? I, the people of the Ming Dynasty, can't I manage it if I am alone? ”
Wei Feng showed signs of turning his face, if he had known that this would be the case, whether he would come to ask Wei Feng to surrender would have to be carefully considered!
But at this time, in the face of Wei Feng's pressure, no one spoke, and everyone made up their minds not to make a head bird, and see how Wei Feng dealt with it.
"I don't know what to do!" He Hu, who escorted these chieftains, seemed to be angry, and scolded sharply: "The general Helan Department He Hu, the general of Daming Anxi, the clansmen settled in Youyan Hebei, have land and land, and live a rich life, today's king is gracious, and he is willing to accept you and other tribes as Ming people, which is a blessing that you can't cultivate in eight lifetimes, you are good, push and push, don't think that Lao Tzu doesn't know what you are thinking, don't you just want to take the soft instead?"
Hum! Rouran is nothing more than taking advantage of Wei Renzhi's ambition in the Central Plains to secretly grow, but if it is about to be unified today, the Ming Dynasty will also move its capital to Beijing to sit in the north, Rouran's luck, but it can no longer be, do you think you will have a chance? In addition, I am not afraid to tell you that the king will not destroy Rouran, but will put the generals under their separate management, you go back on your word, it doesn't matter, the king will not send hundreds of thousands of people from your tribe, but the consequences of deceiving the king, you weigh it yourself! ”
This is the threat of nakedness, if Wei Feng absorbs Rouran, will they still be able to have a good life? I can't help but think of some rumors about Wei Feng one after another, slaughtering Silla, slaughtering Baekje, arresting Goguryeo people for hard labor, slaughtering Wei people, slaughtering ....
In the harsh winter season, although the tent is warm, it has nothing to do with the heat, but beads of sweat oozed from the foreheads of these people. This is clearly not heat, but cold sweat.
"That's it, that's it!" Wei Feng waved his hand again: "The twisted melon is not sweet, since you have no intention of entering my Daming." That lonely is not reluctant. Please go back now, tomorrow's battle. You and I are a life and death competition! ”
Wei Feng gave an eviction order, but no one dared to leave, in their opinion, this was a showdown. If you go, you will be the enemy of the Ming Kingdom, and there will be no turnaround, and even if you don't discuss the victory or defeat of the battle with the Ming army, you must be driven by the Rouran people to take the lead, and the Ming army is well-trained and well-armed. There are more than 100,000 riders, and they are all themselves!
More than a dozen clan chiefs glanced at each other again, and Shen Modan gritted his teeth and said: "I will move the tribe to the south of Yinshan after the war, and obey the arrangement of King Ming!" ”
"Hahahaha~~" Wei Feng laughed loudly: "Come on." In the future, we will order a large number of cattle and sheep, mules and wool sheepskins and other grassland specialties in the grassland, and will promote the trade between the mainland and the grassland. ”
Everyone thanked and retreated, and walked out, but He Hu snorted coldly: "The king treats people sincerely, puts his heart into you, and lets him leave, but he will have to be a villain first and then a gentleman, stack the ugly words in front, and fight tomorrow, as soon as my Ming army moves, you must follow immediately, otherwise you will be hostile!" ”
"Understood, understood, please rest assured!" The chieftains led by Shen Mo Dan and Meng Wu Gutai hurriedly responded, and then left the tent.
Wei Feng threw an appreciative look to He Hu, He Hu was immediately overjoyed, Wei Feng did not communicate with him in advance, he took the initiative to sing blackface, it was really a guess of what he wanted, but he figured it accurately, and he would naturally be able to please Wei Feng in the future!
......
In the early morning of the next day, the horn of the Ming army camp sounded repeatedly, and the cavalry galloped out, plus the Xuanjia Heavenly Army, a total of 100,000 and 4,000, and the defenders of Pingcheng were also ready to go.
The Ming army made a strong offensive posture, Rouran did not dare to be slow, but also shouted orders, he and Wei Feng need to leave part of the troops to defend the village, is really a rush forward, originally Rouran plus each department has 250,000 cavalry, Luo Hou took away 30,000, Sheng Le left 40,000, a while ago when attacking the camp and lost more than 10,000, there are still less than 170,000 left.
The formation of the Ming army is a large array of sharp arrows in the middle, and there is a small formation of fish scales on each side, and the Xuanjia Heavenly Army is hidden at the end, because this time it is an active attack, so the crossbow cavalry is all guarding the village, in short, the formation is extremely compact.
The steppe cavalry is just the opposite, it is divided into more than a dozen regions according to the tribe unit, the largest of which is the cavalry of the Rouran headquarters, about 12 to 130,000, but the common point is that the formation is extremely scattered, after all, the grassland people have no law to march and fight, and they all rely on a sharp spirit to charge, and forcibly restrain the formation but are restrained, and it is difficult to exert their strength.
Looking at it, the Rouran side is mighty, even if the formation factor is not counted, the number of troops participating in the battle is also twice that of the Ming army, but Sima Xiuzhi and Liu Jingxuan's hearts are always uneasy, and they can't say it specifically, now they can only count on winning this battle, defeated, without waiting for Wei Feng to make a move, Yu Jiulu Shelun was the first to kill them!
"Woo woo~~" The horn of the Ming army's position sounded again, this was the horn of the attack, and in an instant, the three formations rushed like arrows from the string!
Yu Jiulu Shelun also had a solemn face, and shouted to the left and right: "Order, all the troops will attack, my Rouran troops will be divided into two ways, and the flanks will be outflanked!" ”
The horn in the Rouran army sounded next, and the horn expressed its meaning purely in terms of syllable changes, although it was simple, it contained a lot of Taoism!
Shen Modan's face was full of struggle, he first looked at the Ming army, the Ming army was in a tight formation, and there was no scattering in the high-speed gallop, revealing a strong self-confidence, and then, he looked at Rouran, the Rouran formation was scattered, the equipment was poor, and more importantly, because the back road was broken, the faces of the Rouran soldiers were some with uneasiness, some with desperate bets, in short, they had different looks.
Meng Gutai persuaded from the side: "Do you still have to hesitate? Even if Rouran wins, how many people will be left in our head-on battle with the Ming army? If they don't win, all the tribes involved in this matter will be slaughtered by King Ming! ”
Shen Mo Dan was full of agitation, and hurriedly called: "Spread the message to all departments, tie up the white scarf, and fight back against Rouran!" ”
"Woo woo~~" The horn sounded again!
In an instant, the Rouran people were stunned, and the various units that should have rushed towards the Ming army rushed towards them one after another, and there was chaos in the array!
Sima Xiuzhi said sharply: "Long live, the Ming army broke off the soft road, it stands to reason that when the high ditch is deep, it is not possible to hold out, and it is a good policy to attack again when the soft is rout, but he came to attack at this time, it turned out to be a rebellion against the grassland tribes, no wonder Xiu Zhi faintly felt that it was inappropriate!" ”
Liu Jingxuan hurriedly said: "Take advantage of the chaos, run, run out, and live incognito in the future!" ”
"You guys fuck, you still want to run away after hurting Lao Tzu?" Yu Jiulu Shelun was shocked and angry, and he shouted repeatedly, but how could the chaos of the more than 100,000 army be irreparable by manpower? Just as he was about to turn his horse's head and flee, he happened to hear the conversation between the two, so he said sharply: "Come on, chop up these two dog thieves!" ”
The Rouran soldiers also hated it very much, and they surrounded each other, slashing and stabbing again, chopping Liu Jingxuan and Sima Xiuzhi into meat puree, just like that, they still didn't understand their hatred, and before they escaped, they picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into their mouths!
Eating the flesh of the enemy, you can only relieve the hatred, but you can't save the defeat, this time, Wei Feng is in a desperate pursuit, everyone is equipped with two horses, and they chased out nearly two hundred miles!
A horse carrying people, running a hundred and eighty miles is already the limit, the soft defeat is too sudden, the preparation of the horse has no time to take, with a single horse to run out of a hundred miles, people are sleepy and tired, coupled with mental pressure, has been almost on the verge of collapse!
The pursuit did not end until two days later, Rouran had a total of more than 120,000 troops, more than 50,000 people were killed in the chase, nearly 60,000 were captured, and only more than 10,000 escaped, the troops besieging Tan Daoji and the Shengle garrison also fled overnight after learning of the defeat of the main force, and the remaining 20,000 garrisons north of the stone fort fled to the north of the Saibei is basically not a problem, but south of the stone fort, whether it can cross the Yin Mountain completely depends on the sky, it is now the cold winter season, if you live by killing horses, there may be a chance to return to the base camp of the Orkhon River and the Tula River, but as long as it snows heavily, Surely you will die!
For this part of the troops, Wei Feng no longer bothered, after counting the results of the battle, on the one hand, he sent people to escort the Rouran captives to Beijing as coolies, and on the other hand, he occupied Shengle to the north, this time, Shengle will not give up, it is only a hundred miles away from the Dongmuganshan Pass, and it is necessary to provide support for the Shibao garrison, at the same time, since Wei Feng has assigned the south of Yinshan to the grassland departments, then Shengle must be used, from the map, Shengle and Pingcheng are located in the center of the grassland south of Yinshan!
After this battle, although Rouran was not completely annihilated, but the decline of Rouran was inevitable, after all, a tribe lost more than 100,000 soldiers, and there was no twenty or thirty years to recover, obviously Wei Feng would not give Rouran time to recover, and there might even be other tribes that fell into the ground.
After arranging all the trivial matters, in Shengle City, Wei Feng summoned the chiefs of the tribes of the grassland, and according to the map, according to the number of people in each department, the grazing area was demarcated on the spot, and ordered that before the autumn of next year, the manpower of each department must be in place, and the Ming Court will send generals in each grazing area as a military administrative agency on the grassland!
Although the chiefs of the tribes were full of bitterness, the situation was stronger than the people, so they had to respond and return to their tribes to prepare for the migration.
Immediately afterwards, Wei Feng issued an order, ordering Jingxiang and Jiangling Ming troops to enter Wuguan, Wang Zhen attacked Luoyang, and he himself in early December, led 100,000 horses south to Hedong, took advantage of the Yellow River to freeze, and forcibly crossed Puban into Guanzhong!
Guanzhong has already made a mess, Yao Xing is also dying, the Ming army's entry into the pass is beyond everyone's expectations, they still think that the war between the Ming army and Rouran has not yet ended, on this opportunity, Wei Feng first and the Ming army entered from Wuguan to flank the four coalition forces, is a battle, completely annihilated the remnants of the original Liu Bobo and the main force of the Tuoba clan, killed Tuoba Qiu, captured the frustrated Qu Mengxun and the bald Wei Tan, so that they no longer have the mind to think, can only surrender.
After that, Wei Feng surrounded Chang'an, Yao Xing only possessed a lonely city in Chang'an, and it was meaningless to insist, so he led the city to be civil and military, and the ministers of the clan opened the city gate to surrender.
(End of book!) )
