But Father-in-law Cao said, "Miss, is this disgusting old slave?"

Zhen Zhen didn't talk much anymore. Even at night, sometimes the night is missed, and everyone sleeps around the bonfire, but Gonggong Cao always sleeps near Zhen Zhen's carriage.

Zhen Zhen's understanding is that in Cao Gonggong's belief, I am afraid that only by doing so can he be called to fulfill his duties. Although she felt that unfamiliar people would be unaccustomed to being too close. Feng Hanzhao didn't seem to have any reaction to this, as if it was supposed to be like this, as a matter of course.

Halfway through, I also received a message from Ye Wei. He took more than a hundred people, and his speed was naturally not as fast as riding a horse, and he would arrive at Qishan Pass a few days later than Zhen Zhen and them.

Only when the post station stayed and everyone rested better, Zhen Zhen had time to chat with Feng Hanzhao. Qishan Pass is getting closer and closer, and they must prepare before reaching the border line.

Chapter 349: History of the Battle of Qishan

To the east of Qishan Pass is Qishan, and to the west is Moyun Peak. Between the two peaks, there is a valley three miles long and one mile wide, which has been a must for business travelers from south to north since ancient times. After the fall of the Dai Dynasty, Daning and Yuantai could not distinguish the winner from the winner after a long war, so they could only sit down and negotiate peacefully, and finally decided to take Qishan as the boundary, the north belonged to Yuantai, and the south belonged to Daning.

In the first few years, the people of the two countries were determined, there were few wars, and the people on both sides were originally the people of the same country during the Dai Dynasty, and there were intermarriages and border trade exchanges with each other, but they were also peaceful.

I didn't expect that there would be unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people would have good and bad luck. The Yuantai in the north had been snowstormed for two consecutive years, and countless livestock had frozen to death, and the business of selling cattle and sheep to the south in exchange for grain, cloth, pearls, and jade could not continue, and the taxes of the Yuantai court had plummeted, and the finances were stretched, and some Yuantai officials could only eat only one meal a day, and the hardships of the people were even more conceivable.

Yuantai's border guards were originally third-rate troops that grandma didn't love and uncles didn't love, and they were deducted from military salaries when they were not sick or sick on weekdays, and they were even more deducted when there was a snow disaster this year. Seeing his subordinates starving, Ding Chen, the general of Yuantai's border guard, first took out his salary and went to Daning to buy supplies for the soldiers. However, in the end, he could only risk being killed, and privately set up troops to go to Daning on the other side of the mountain to grab food.

The border army deployed by Daning on the border has always been only a symbolic existence, and it has been out of battle for a long time, where can it withstand the wolf-like Yuantai people pounce on. It is said that after less than half an hour, Daning Shou was killed, and the soldiers abandoned their armor and fled for their lives. The Yuantai soldiers looted the grain storage in Qishan County at the foot of Qishan Mountain. At the beginning, Ding Chen was still very modest, as long as food, no property, and no robbery.

However, what is surprising is that the Yuantai court did not say a word about this, as if it did not happen---- it was not the people of Yuantai who suffered, and the problem of military salaries was solved.

Ding Chen, the general who originally wanted to eat a full meal and then invite the guilty to be killed, became bolder. There are two things that the court acquiesces to, and they dare to repeat it again and again. The bottom line of human nature has been repeatedly lowered, and the evil in the human nature of the Yuantai soldiers has been slowly exposed. When the grain is scavenged, they begin to grab money and goods; When you run out of valuable items, you start bullying people. The people on the Daning border were miserable and had to leave their homes. For a while, hunger was everywhere, and there were many complaints.

Although Daning was caught off guard by Yuantai at the beginning, fortunately, the follow-up reaction was quite fast. The imperial court immediately mobilized 100,000 troops and set out for Qishan County. Yuantai had just experienced a snowstorm, and the treasury was empty, and it simply could not withstand a big battle. Prime Minister Yuantai took the 50,000 soldiers and horses that the whole country barely mustered together, went to the front line in person, took away Ding Chen's handsome seal, took off the red tassel on his helmet, stripped off his armor, tied up the five flowers and sent them to the front of the Daning array, and pleaded for peace in a low voice.

The news was transmitted back to Daning, and two factions of opinions were formed, one faction believed that the strength of the army was two to one, and Daning had the advantage, and should take advantage of this fighter to destroy Yuantai and unify the north.

One faction thinks that the mourning soldiers will win, don't underestimate the 50,000 people in Yuantai, who were not starved to death, they are all powerful people, people who dare to work hard. Daning has to add another 100,000 horses to have a chance of winning; It's better to harvest it when it is good, cut a piece of land in Yuantai, and slowly encroach on it, and there will be snow disasters in a few years.

At the time of the court discussion, the encroachment faction prevailed.

In the end, Yuan Tai beheaded Ding Chen and ceded five county towns to Daning. Daning also took advantage of the situation to build Qishan Pass in the valley of Qishan County to resist the southward movement of Yuantai.

History proves that Daning has since lost its best chance to defeat Yuantai.

From then on, Yuantai began to try all kinds of ways to ensure that he could survive the snow disaster again. For example, in the summer and autumn, as much food and grass as possible, such as building snow walls and semi-underground warm pens for livestock. With surplus horses, cattle and sheep, Yuantai no longer used it to trade silk with Daning, nor did he want the pearls of the Li Kingdom, but exchanged iron tools with the Ji State at that time.

Fifteen years later, the Yuantai cavalry, which had grown up again, wore iron armor and held sharp blades, conquered Qishan Pass in one day and recovered five cities.

Yuantai renamed the county closest to Qishan Pass among the five counties as Dingchen County, and also erected a mound for Ding Chen on Qishan.

After losing the Qishan Pass, the land of Daning was like opening its door to the Yuantai cavalry. At the moment of life and death, the Daning soldiers paid a huge price to resist the footsteps of the Yuantai cavalry to the south and capture the Qishan Pass, but they were unable to further expel and eliminate the brave Yuantai cavalry.

In the following decades, Yuantai and Daning fought and made peace, and their strength came and went, but they were always between the best. Until Emperor Taide, with the purpose of spending money to eliminate disasters and calming people, he always had a tolerant attitude towards Yuantai.

After the national strength of Yuantai was enhanced, the atmosphere of unity was gradually replaced by intrigue, extravagance prevailed, several major families competed for power and profit, internal friction continued, and it was always difficult to further expand the territory.

Now Emperor Yuantai Sheng Jun uses the prince Sheng Lianke and his powerful mother family Qiao Jia to pinch the softest persimmon in Ji State, which shows that Yuantai does have extraordinary strength; On the other hand, it also shows that Sheng Jun is a master in balancing the interests of all parties.
