Chapter 255: Into the Desert
Wolf Juxu Mountain, is one of the birthplaces of the Xiongnu, at the same time, it is also the place where Huo Quai, who was brilliant in the early years, became famous. As early as the fourth year of Yuan Hunt, Huo Quai, who was named the champion Hou and the hussar general like Ao Lie, led the Han army to drive straight in, and the soldiers entered the Wolf Juxu Mountain, where they defeated the main army of the Huns, and killed more than 70,000 Huns in a war, so "seal the wolf Juxu Mountain, Zen in Guyan", and build a high altar on the Wolf Juxu Mountain with a large amount of soil, sacrifice to the heavens and say the seal, sacrifice the ground and say Zen, in order to celebrate the victory.
In the Han Dynasty and before, the Huns repeatedly launched southern invasions, plundered the money and grain of the Han Dynasty, and brutalized the people of the Han Dynasty, which aroused the deep hatred of the Han people. It was not until Huo Qubing led the army to defeat the Xiongnu and successively defeated the Xiongnu army gathered in Qilian Mountain, Yanzhi Mountain and Wolf Juxu Mountain, so that the Huns lost most of their young adults, so that the Huns, who had always been arrogant and domineering, had to put away their arrogance and no longer dared to invade the Han Dynasty in the south, and issued "Lose my Qilian Mountain, so that my six animals will not rest; The loss of my Yanzhi mountain makes my wife colorless".
Huo Qubing defeated the Xiongnu, so that the Han frontier has been peaceful for a long time, when the people of the Han Dynasty ran to celebrate, Huo Qubing to an unparalleled height, therefore, in the Han Dynasty, people to defeat the alien race, open up the territory and expand the territory, as the biggest and most respectable feat, this is also one of the reasons why Ao Lie now has a high reputation, even if it is his opponent, can not deny his great achievements in expanding the territory, for the Han to add two large states with vast land, not everyone can do it. After Huo Qu's illness, the champion Hou has become synonymous with heroes, four hundred years have passed, following Huo Qu's illness, counting Ao Lie, only three people are fortunate to be named the champion Hou, which is even more coincidental. Ao Lie's official position is even the same as Huo Quai's in the desert back then, both of them are hussar generals!
History, always strikingly similar, seems to be unconsciously, time seems to go back four hundred years ago, the same elite Han army, the same appeared in the desert, the same purpose to defeat the Xiongnu, different. It was Huo Quai's leadership position that belonged to Huo Quzhi back then, and he was replaced by the equally young Ao Lie!
This is not the first time that Ao Lie has set foot on the land of the Huns, before that, when he was still serving as the Taishou of Youbeiping, he had pursued a Xiongnu army. I've been here before, but the purpose of this visit. It's unlike anything we've ever had before. This time, Ao Lie wants to completely defeat and subdue the Huns, let them accept sinicization, integrate into the system of the Han people, awaken the sleeping fighting spirit in the blood of the Han people, and regain the lion-like spiritual outlook! As for those who refuse to accept sinicization. Or the Huns, who regard the Han people as mortal enemies in their thinking, Ao Lie has already thought about their fate, so let them take their so-called self-esteem and go to the Lord of Yama to continue to regard themselves as the Huns.
Ride on the Divine Horse's Shine Night Snow Dragon Pony. Ao Lie's heart was quite emotional, and he couldn't help but think of the high-spirited Huo Qubing back then. Whether it is in this life or in the previous life, Huo Qubing has always been one of Ao Lie's most admired heroes, and now, Ao Lie wants to follow in Huo Quzhi's footsteps and complete the feat he has not completed.
A fast horse galloped in, and a member of the Shadow came to the front of Ao Lie's army, and made a series of gestures one after another, telling Ao Lie in sign language that he was the Shadow No. 1028 and had important military information to report to Ao Lie. After getting Ao Lie's permission, the Shadow member walked quickly in front of Ao Lie, handed a wax pill, and then quickly turned around and stepped back on his horse, galloping towards the road he had come from, and he didn't say a word the whole time.
For the mystery of the shadow members, the soldiers around Ao Lie have long been surprised, although they don't know the number of the shadow, and they don't know how many members of the shadow exist, and they don't even know the responsibilities of the shadow members, but they have gradually accepted the existence of the shadow, they know that in the hands of Ao Lie, they have always been very mysterious troops, this force will always send key information at critical moments, and even the inexplicable death of some enemy generals is inseparable from this mysterious force. It is most appropriate to describe this mysterious force with a dragon that sees the head but does not see the tail.
Ao Lie watched the Shadow One Thousand and Twenty-Eight members go away with a smile on his face, feeling very relieved in his heart. It's only been two years since Shadow was formed. But in just two years, the results achieved by the Shadow Members have been astonishing. They can always pass first-hand information to Ao Lie in person through various unexpected channels, so that Ao Lie has a clear understanding of the form between friends and enemies. Moreover, in the past two years, there have been twelve opponents who have been assassinated by the members of the Shadows. Don't underestimate the data of twelve people, the people who can be regarded as opponents by Ao Lie will naturally not be unknowns, including the two tribal leaders of the Wuhuan people.
During the operation, the Shadow members will also have times of failure, but they will never let themselves be captured alive by the enemy, and whenever they can't escape, they will bite through the miniature wax pills hidden in their teeth, and inside the wax pills is the poisonous aconitum grass that has seen the blood seal. Therefore, on the monument of the martyrs erected in the Governor's Mansion of Yanjing, from time to time there will be some names that have neither the number of the troops nor the military position, and these names are only known by Ao Lie and Li Ru, who is directly in charge of the shadows, who is the owner of the name of Lu Dao.
Pinched open the wax pill, Ao Lie took out the note inside, and there were eight words recorded on it simply and directly: Yu Fuluo wants to kill Hu Chuquan! Ao Lie knew that Yu Fuluo was the current Xiongnu Shan Yu, and Hu Chuquan was Yu Fuluo's brother, and he was also the Xiongnu's Zuo Xian King, since more than ten years ago, Ao Lie killed the Xiongnu Zuo Xian King in one fell swoop, Hu Chuquan sat in the position of Zuo Xian Wang, and it has not changed to this day. It is precisely because Hu Chuquan has been in the position of King Zuo Xian for a long time, under his leadership, his tribe has experienced a surge in population and strong combat effectiveness after more than ten years of hard work, which directly threatens Fu Luo's single position, Yu Fu Luo has long had the intention to kill Hu Chu Quan to get rid of future troubles, but he has never been able to make up his mind. Now Ao Lie led the army to the north, but gave Yu Fuluo a good opportunity, he at the regular summit, the task of resisting the Han army, clearly handed over to Hu Chuquan, nominally to Hu Chuquan, in fact, he wanted to borrow a knife to kill, borrowed Ao Lie to kill Hu Chuquan.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Ao Lie's mouth, Yu Fuluo thought it was quite beautiful, but was Ao Lie a fool who was willing to be used as a knife by others? What's more, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu followed Ao Lie's side, Yu Fuluo's little trick was simply unsightly. However, this is a good opportunity to provoke internal contradictions among the Huns, Ao Lie's army expedition, and experienced a big war with the Wuhuan people, the morale of the army is not in the best state at present, so simply plan it, come to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, let the Huns fight in the nest first. The Huns are brave and ruthless, and they belong to the type of one point, and it is not difficult to provoke their contradictions, provided that they need to plan well.
Immediately, Ao Lie set fire to the note in his hand, and then ordered the army to camp on the spot and rest for a while. The elite troops under Ao Lie's command, after receiving the order, did not show any fluctuations, and immediately moved to prepare for camping. And those recruits let out a long breath and showed a relieved expression. In order to speed up the maturity of his subordinates' recruits, Ao Lie left all the sergeants who had participated in the battle against Wuhuan to Tian Yu, and the 35,000 recruits brought this time, of which 30,000 were brought by Tai Shici from Yanjing, and they had not even officially been on the battlefield. Although under the strict training of Gao Shun, Xu Rong and other military trainers, they were able to do the order and prohibition, and no one made a sound of complaining, but the physical fatigue brought by the long-distance march still made it a little difficult for them to continue.
Ao Lie took in the looks of these recruits and couldn't help but let out a helpless sigh. If there is a way to prevent these recruits from going to the battlefield, Ao Lie will definitely not bring them over, but now the situation is chaotic, every inch of land in the Han Dynasty, a war may break out at any time, and Ao Lie cannot send four elite troops to solve every battle, the four elite soldiers add up to only 80,000, far from enough to support a big war, not to mention, in each of these 80,000 elite soldiers, Ao Lie has poured a lot of effort into it, and he can't bear to take out these 80,000 elite soldiers and use them as cannon fodder. In the end, it is the ordinary sergeants who bear the backbone of the building, just like a high-rise building, no matter how gorgeous its top is, no matter how solid its base is, but if there is no support in the middle, this edifice will collapse sooner or later. Now, the four elite soldiers are like the top of the building, and the strong soldiers in the four states are like the pedestal, and these regular troops trained into the army are the backbone. But the performance of these recruits in front of him still made Ao Lie a little worried.
Zhuge Liang, who was observant, saw the worry flashing on Ao Lie's face, and immediately understood his thoughts, came to Ao Lie with a smile, and said in a low voice: "Lord, are your requirements a little too high?" Compared to the soldiers of other states and counties, they are already quite good. ”
Ao Lie sighed again, and said leisurely: "Kong Ming, the four states of seclusion and brightness, in terms of population, are not as dense as the Central Plains and the south, every time a soldier is lost in battle, it is our loss, we can't afford such consumption, so we can only be strict in the quality of the sergeants, and strive to make them less damaged on the battlefield." What's more, if we bring them out of our homeland, we have the responsibility to bring them back, and we must be responsible for the soldiers and their families. ”
Hearing Ao Lie's words, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu glanced at each other, and said with emotion in unison: "The lord is really the lord of mercy." ”
Soon, the subordinate sergeants set up camp, and Ao Lie put away his worries, beckoned Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu to enter the Chinese army's tent, and began to discuss how to provoke the internal contradictions of the Xiongnu, so that between Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan, fight to the death first.
