Volume 2 The Prosperous Age of Mercenaries

Chapter 22: Guarding the Glass Cup (3)

"For the Bai royal family, the barbarians are elbow troubles, but the princes of Zhongzhou are in great trouble, at the beginning of Emperor Wucheng's accession to the throne, in order to weaken the power of the princes, he issued an edict ordering the princes to attack the barbarians in the north, but in addition to some small countries, several military powers led by the Jin State fell on deaf ears, Emperor Wucheng Bai Yu was furious, and personally led the army to drive the army to destroy the Jin State within a month, and the Jin royal family was all killed, and the four seas were shocked."

Although five hundred years have passed, Bai Yan still sounds impressed by the thunder wrist of his ancestor, "Later, it was the 'Sacrifice of the Gods'. ”

"Yes, Emperor Wucheng Bai Yu commanded the most elite 200,000 ironclad northern expeditions in Zhongzhou, all the way like a bamboo, three months to break through the barbarian acropolis, Wucheng Emperor Bai Yu became a nightmare for the barbarian tribes, the Zhongzhou army took advantage of the situation to pursue, and drove the barbarian tribes to the north north of the Zhushen Mountain."

"Mount of the Gods?" Meteor Frost has discovered a new term.

"Well, the mountain of the gods is a place used by the barbarians to worship the gods, and it is also the birthplace of the barbarians, and it is regarded as a holy place by the barbarians, and it is said that the sword called the barbarian holy weapon is obtained by the barbarian ancestors in the mountain of the gods, and the barbarians believe that it is a gift from the gods, so they are extremely in awe of this knife. Emperor Wu Cheng climbed the Mountain of the Gods and ordered the altar to be overturned, and Emperor Wu Cheng personally drew his sword and split the Monument of the Gods, which the barbarians regarded as gods, into two sections. The Zhongzhou historian used the 'sacrifice of the gods' to record this unprecedented expedition, and the 'sacrifice of the gods' did not mean to sacrifice to the gods, but to represent the death of the gods. But among the barbarians, this period of history is known as the "Twilight of the Gods", and the barbarians regard this as a great shame, and Emperor Wucheng Bai Yu has therefore become a demonic figure in the hearts of the barbarians, and you must not mention Emperor Wucheng in front of the barbarians. ”

White Flame and Meteor Frost nodded.

Nangong Bai continued: "In the two hundred years after Emperor Wucheng Bai Yu, the royal bloodline fell silent again, until an obscure and forbearant prince Bai Wuji killed his three brothers in one fell swoop in the battle for the heir, and fought a thousand forbidden troops alone with his own strength, people realized that the imperial blood had come again. ”

"Martial Emperor Bai Wuji?!"

"Well, Bai Wuji originally had the opportunity to become a great emperor as well, but he admired Emperor Wucheng so much that he later caused his tragedy. At the beginning of Bai Wuji's succession, he also issued an edict ordering the princes to go on a northern expedition, and this time the princes were not sure how much strength the young emperor had, but they didn't dare to test it, so the edict was issued, and the princes gathered to respond. In this Northern Expedition, Bai Wuji's subordinates far surpassed Emperor Wucheng from generals to troops, and Bai Wuji vowed to surpass Emperor Wucheng and become the first emperor of the ages. At that time, his subordinates gathered the famous generals of the entire Zhongzhou, known as the 'Twelve Sharp Arrows', and there was a peerless handsome talent like Tuoba Jin, which can be called the most luxurious lineup of famous generals in the history of Dafeng, with a total of 350,000 horse infantry troops, which is mighty and unmatched. However, Emperor Wu Wu went north out of Shouyang Pass and ran into a man called "Hugor Mule. The young barbarian warrior of Tatarqin, that is, the legendary "Tiehan King" in later generations, the Hanbei wolf cavalry under the command of Tiehan King Hugormul can be called the world's unparalleled heavy cavalry, Bai Wuji fought against Hugol Mulle twice in his life, the first time Bai Wuji relied on strong military strength to advance to the barbarian acropolis step by step, and as a result, the siege was not broken for three months, and the army retreated due to food shortage; The second Northern Expedition, Hugol Muller buried the "Twelve Arrows" and 200,000 Zhongzhou troops in the Wing Falling Plain at the cost of the destruction of the Hanbei Wolf Cavalry, Bai Wuji led the remnants of the army to retreat south, and the princes finally abandoned the emperor who regarded human life as a mustard and brutal and forceful, in the face of Hugol Muller's pursuit, the princes occupied Shouyang Pass and blocked Bai Wuji and Hu Golmul together outside the pass, Bai Wuji had no choice but to fight with Hu Gormul outside the pass, but soon after, the news of the new emperor in the pass came to the throne, After hearing this, Bai Wuji vomited blood and fainted, and finally died in the humble military camp. Hugolmul was then killed by his subordinates, and the barbarians fell into a civil war, and finally failed to move south. Nangong Bai said so much in one breath, feeling a little dry mouth.

"Emperor Martial and King Tiehan regard each other as lifelong enemies, Emperor Martial Emperor made the barbarian tribes fall into a huge panic, King Tiehan made Emperor Martial Emperor fail to step into the barbarian acropolis until he died, the battle of heroes, the end is so bleak, it is really sighing!" Bai Yan sighed.

"The Wucheng era was an era of meritorious achievements, and in the duel with the barbarians, Emperor Wucheng achieved unprecedented achievements, and in this respect, even Emperor Gaozu could not match it. The era of martyrdom is a brilliant era, Tuoba Ji, Li Yangtian, Gong Liang, Feng Yunlong, etc. are all Tianzhong figures, after nearly three hundred years of Dafeng has never produced any famous generals who can be compared with the "twelve sharp arrows", people say that it is because the desire of Emperor Wu's Northern Expedition is too strong, so a number of famous generals came into being, so that in just ten years, it has exhausted the heroic spirit of Zhongzhou for three hundred years. Due to Emperor Wuwu's exhaustion of national strength, from then on, the Bai royal family was no longer able to control the princes, until about twenty years ago, Bai Lang's father Bai Yang killed King Wuwei to succeed to the throne, and your father Bai Wuye succeeded to the throne of the country, people thought that they saw the arrival of another Zhongxing, but they didn't expect that Dafeng had weakened to this point, and it had reached the point where two royal families with natural bloodlines were unable to reorganize the rivers and mountains at the same time. "When it came to Bai Yang and Bai Wuye, Nangong Bai kept looking at Bai Yan.

Bai Yan didn't speak, and what he opened was Meteor Frost, "As a result, I met the barbarian's grandfather and went to Zhongzhou seven times?!" ”

"Yes, but it's not entirely true, Tatarqin is the surname of the barbarian and their tribe, and the barbarian's grandfather is respected as the great leader of Tatarqin, which means that he already has unrivaled prestige in the barbarian tribe at least in the Tatarqin tribe."

"Even the 'Tiehan King' Hugolmule. Can't even do it in Tatarqin? Bai Yan asked.

"'Tiehan King' twice repelled Emperor Wu, so that the grassland avoided the catastrophe of the Wucheng era, although it is a peerless monarch, but Tatarqin is different, when he took over the power from his father, the grassland suffered years of famine, the rule of the Tatarqin tribe has reached the verge of collapse, the large and small tribes on the grassland have reached the point of slaughtering each other for a three-mile radius of grassland in order to survive, and the herdsmen can only kill horses to maintain the tribal livelihood in the cold winter. After Tatarqin succeeded to the throne, the first order was to protect the horses, even if they ate children and women, they could not kill horses for food, that winter Tatarqin with a yellow-faced and thin cavalry swept the north of the country to the north of Western Chu, they did not plunder gold and silver, did not rob women, only brought grain and grass, hunger made the barbarian cavalry red-eyed, they never wanted to go back to eat their women and children, so the distorted desire in their hearts all became killing poured out, Even the most elite cavalry led by Lei Wanjun, who was young and strong at the time, was not their opponent, and it was thanks to Ou Yin's timely reinforcements that they could repel the barbarians. Returning to the steppe with a large amount of grain and grass, Taerqin became the benefactor of the entire barbarian, and tribes near and far expressed their allegiance to him, saying that he was 'the king of the steppe from the gods'. Nangong Bai was talking, and the husband on the street outside started beating again, which meant that there was only one hour left before the deadline.

"It's okay, go on, the goose has fallen and the grass is still nowhere to be seen!" Bai Yan motioned for him to continue.

In the first three wars, Ou Yin, Lei Wanjun, Bei Shentian and other princes and overlords joined forces to resist the barbarian iron cavalry and still lost more than they won, especially when I heard that Tatarqin secretly restored the Hanbei wolf cavalry, the entire Zhongzhou fell into a huge panic. Tatarqin seems to see the hope of entering Zhongzhou to dominate the world, but history is always strikingly similar, Emperor Wu's Northern Expedition collided with King Tiehan head-on, and fell into a dream of eternal achievements, Tatarqin began with the fourth southern expedition, met a boy named Bai Wuye, so after the four southern expeditions were defeated, embarrassed like a mouse, after the last southern expedition, Tatarqin felt shameless and returned to the grassland, and watched the land he dreamed of owning all his life on Shouyang Mountain. ”
