Chapter 615: Jingguan
In addition to the remaining 100 or so Han people, the ground was full of more than 5,000 corpses, and Zhao Yun and Wei Yan had a disagreement on the disposal of the corpses, Zhao Yun meant to use these people to make a fuss and reduce the pressure on Zhou Yu in Yanmen Pass, after all, there were 200,000 Hun iron horsemen there. Wei Yan means that they are a strange army, and they must hide their tracks in order to be able to break the Xiongnu tribes by surprise, that is, destroy the corpses and burn them.
"Listen to me, both of you! Have you ever heard of Kyokan? Lu Su saw that the two of them were constantly arguing, and felt that there was a way to satisfy them at the same time.
Ancient wars make people imagine that they will feel very cruel, the two armies often fight with corpses all over the field and rivers of blood, the two armies represent two countries, they compete for land and population wealth, or there is to promote their beliefs, to ensure the purity of their bloodline, such as the Qi people and Chu people before the great integration of the nation, etc., the victorious side between the countries has obtained the city and land, and the defeated side has become a lamb to be slaughtered, and even faces being "killed", the famous Battle of Changping during the Warring States Period, After the defeat of the vassal state of Zhao, the general of the Qin State Bai Qikeng killed 400,000 Zhao prisoners, and many people would think that Bai Qi would dig a big pit in the ground, and then bury the captives alive on the spot, as well as bury the bodies of those soldiers who died in battle. In fact, these were impossible according to the situation at that time, 400,000 prisoners were not 400,000 ants, and the manpower required to bury the corpses was huge, and it was impossible for Bai Qi to let his 200,000 Qin troops do meaningless things. The biggest possibility is that Bai Qi expelled 400,000 people into the canyon, set fire to 400,000 soldiers of Zhao State, and in order to deter Zhao State, he piled up the remains of Zhao soldiers in the shape of pyramids.
This kind of pit killing, known in the book as "Jingguan", is a very barbaric act of ancient warfare, in which the victorious side piles up all the corpses and heads of the enemy and covers them with earth to form a large mound in the shape of a pyramid. Why did the corpses of the enemy soldiers piled up in ancient wars to make a Kyoto temple? There are three reasons for investigating the reasons for this: First, it is to display one's military prestige and military exploits and improve the morale of the army. The second is to use this cruel way to tell the enemy his own strength, so as to punish and deter the enemy army. Third, the medical level of ancient times was backward, and piling up the corpses of enemy soldiers and building mounds of earth can effectively reduce the occurrence of plague. These are relatively close to reality, and it is unknown whether the generals who led the army at the beginning had other ideas, or whether they thought it was fun on a whim.
"Zilong wants the corpse of the Huns to make a fuss, just to reduce the pressure on the battlefield for the lord, do you know why the lord is not to drag down the main force of the Huns and leave us time for them to destroy the country and extinct the species? The disappearance of the Xiongnu tribe of Wen Chang can only be hidden for a period of time, and it is only a matter of time before it is discovered. My suggestion is to prevent these corpses from causing a plague, and to burn all the extra tents except for the grain and grass and baggage, and then we will build up all the corpses and bury them with earth, and put up a wooden sign on the mound, on which only the words "Destroy the Prisoners". Lu Su thinks that sooner or later their activities will be exposed, and there are many large and small tribes of the Xiongnu, and if they want not to be discovered, in addition to deterrence, they will cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.
"Zijing - you can't write these four words into Chinese characters, I heard the lord say that the north and west of the Xiongnu are the Xianbei people, and they are also growing stronger and stronger to threaten the Xiongnu at all times, and the Huns dare not provoke the Xianbei people to see the Xianbei people as obedient as dogs. We might as well make up all the clothes of the Xianbei people, most of the army are the old people of Xiliang, many of them understand the Xianbei language, if we kill people everywhere and there is no grass, the building of the Beijing view with the Xianbei Hun dialect to write again, we can divide the soldiers and horses to continue to attack, continue to exterminate the continuous construction of the Beijing Temple, maybe be able to lead the war to Xianbei! Wei Yan listened to Lu Su's words and immediately understood this so-called Jingguan, which is a symbol of force-what he likes is simple and rude-
Zhao Yun also agreed with Lu Su's suggestion, and their 80,000 troops took away all the horses in the tribe, slaughtered all the cattle and sheep to make dried meat, put away all the banners and armor of the Han army, changed them into Hun clothing, and replaced all the banners with the eagle banners of the Xianbei people. As for the thousands of corpses made into a Jingguan, standing tall in the wind, cutting grass without roots, blowing and growing again in the spring breeze.
In half a month, a group of horse thieves composed of Xianbei people raged on the grassland, and the heavy losses were the tribe of Zuoxian King Mo Li, and the 50,000 wolf guards left behind in Mo Li's royal court looked for the whereabouts of the broken army, but Zhao Yun and Wei Yan respectively led 20,000 horses and horses to raid from east to west, and the Huns who had seen them had almost no survival, and the scattered tribes moved to Mo Li's royal court in order to survive. With the escort of the Hun wolf guard, it became more and more difficult for Zhao Yun and Wei Yan to do it-
Now, after the correction of the Broken Army, the soldiers are strong and strong, and the continuous killing is constantly sharpened like a sharp unsheathed sword. Lu Su stayed in the army and did not fight, but he was not idle, relying on the captured prisoners to distribute the Xiongnu tribes. They are now located in the northwest of the grassland Zuoxian King Mo Li's chassis, Zuo Xian Wang Mo Li is the second largest force in the Xiongnu after the Xiongnu Shan Yu Fuluo, according to his estimates that Zuo Xian Wang's royal court in addition to his 50,000 wolf guards, the various tribes left behind in the battle of about 100,000 soldiers, is now gathering towards the Zuo Xian Wang court, when they face the strangulation of 150,000 Hun troops.
"The enemy advances, I retreat, the enemy stationed, I disturb the enemy, I fight, the enemy retreats, I chase-" The essence of guerrilla warfare is the strategy and tactics that Zhou Yu handed over to Lu Su, but there is no barrier on the grassland, and once a melee occurs, the side with a small number will suffer very much. Lu Su decided that in order to give the Huns a good look, he asked Zhao Yun and Wei Yan to put the killed Huns in four directions and five miles in the southeast, north, and west of the royal court, and also sent a letter to the royal court of King Zuoxian, saying that they would surrender within half a month, otherwise they would definitely rush into the royal court and kill them.
In order to protect their people, the Hun soldiers of the royal court of Zuoxian Wang have been stationed in the royal court waiting for a decisive battle with the Xianbei horse thieves. It's just that Lu Su and they won't fight with them stupidly, they deceived the army of King Zuo Xian on the one hand, and on the other hand, they pulled out their camp and began to invade the tribes under the command of Fu Luo. It's just that it's the same Jingguan, but the banner they are carrying is the banner of Zuoxian King Moli, along the way, a lot of Xiongnu prisoners were recruited, and they were used as the vanguard to attack the tribes under the command of Yu Fuluo, Lu Su also told them that as long as they grabbed and killed, they were all theirs, and Zuoxian King Moli rewarded them all.
Everyone has demons in their hearts, and those who are usually locked in their hearts dare not release them, but Lu Su precisely used this to preserve the strength of their Han army, using the Huns to attack the Huns, and their army followed behind to harvest corn.
In the event of such a big change, the Xiongnu had already sent fast horses to the border pass to report the news, and they didn't know that the Xiongnu who were far away at the border pass were also very painful.
