Wang Rou is very busy these days.

A few days ago, Ding Yuan and Pei Ye of Taiyuan asked Wang Rou to lead the Huns to rescue Taiyuan in the name of the history of the assassination of the state and the Taishou of Taiyuan.

But Wang Rou just read these sincere handwritings, and left them on the case.

Because in terms of system, the Hun Zhonglang will be independent of the system of merging states, so even if he is a state assassin, Ding Yuan has no order to ask him to send troops.

But later, Dong Zhuo went to Wang Rou in the name of the Guanxi Imperial Court and asked him to send troops to help Ding Yuan, but it still couldn't be done.

Why?

It's not that Wang Rou is already arrogant and arrogant, and he doesn't even listen to the orders of the imperial court, but he really can't get out.

As one of the most important officials in Northern Xinjiang, the most important duty of the Hun Zhonglang General was to supervise, manage and even control the Southern Xiongnu.

The Southern Xiongnu moved inward for nearly 200 years, and it seems to be a foreign vassal of the Han Dynasty. In this process, the Han family also formed a certain degree of management over the area where the Southern Xiongnu were located.

The Shogunate was one of the most important institutions.

Originally, the Shogunate of the Huns was just a supervisory empty shelf institution at the beginning, but with the increasing perfection of the institution, the Hun Zhonglang will gradually have the right to reason for the people of the Southern Xiongnu.

Of course, this struggle for the right to govern pastoralists does not happen overnight. The Han family represented by the Hun Zhonglang General and the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu and the nobles of various tribes fought around this for more than 100 years.

At the beginning, when the Southern Xiongnu had just taken refuge in the wings of the Han family, his strength was weak, and he needed the protection of the Han family, so Da Danyu's power was not strong.

However, with the collapse of the Northern Xiongnu, the Southern Xiongnu began to achieve unprecedented superiority in political, manpower, and material resources. At that time, there were almost 400,000 Southern Xiongnu and 100,000 people who controlled the strings, becoming the strongest force in northern Xinjiang outside the Han Dynasty.

At that time, the Southern Xiongnu wanted to inherit the power of the original Xiongnu Empire, and wanted to mix the north and the south and become one country, but the Han family did not agree.

The contradictions between the two sides gradually emerged, and then the Southern Xiongnu rebelled several times, all of which were suppressed by the Han family.

It was precisely the several counterinsurgency wars against the Southern Xiongnu that made them no longer able to become an independent country like the Xiongnu in the former Han Dynasty or the Northern Xiongnu before that, and could only be vassals of the Han Dynasty.

At this point, the shogunate officially participated in the management of the 100,000 Southern Xiongnu tribes in the Meiji area.

The Han dynasty adopted a dualistic management of the Southern Xiongnu. That is, it not only retains its original tribal organization, but also its tribesmen are under the management of the line of the Han family protector Hun Zhonglang general.

In the event of a criminal case between the herdsmen and tribes, the jurisdiction of the shogunate, which should have belonged to the tribal chieftains, was now in the hands of the shogunate.

It's just that different people are based on different laws. If the Han people under their rule break the law, they will be sentenced to prison in the Spring and Autumn Period, and if the Huns break the law, they will be punished according to the traditional customs of the tribe.

But there is a special situation, that is, after the Huns enter the army, it will be carried out in accordance with the Han law. Because the Han family likes to use the Southern Xiongnu soldiers to fight abroad, and in order to unify management, they all practice Han law. Its military laws include:

"Those who send orders to send troops to circumvent them, those who will forbid horses and ride thin horses when they go out on the expedition, those who cannot return first with military orders when they go out on the expedition, those who graze and hunt during the camp, and those who do not lead their soldiers to rescue when friendly forces invade and do not lead their subordinate soldiers to rescue them will be punished with fines and animals."

Later, when the Southern Hun soldiers were used to participate in domestic operations, a few more were added:

"Those who lose their horses on an expedition, those who sell their armor, bows, arrows, and weapons to the localities without permission, those who fail to advance when the enemy does not advance, those who kill civilians in vain, those who abuse those who have captured them, those who plunder the army, those who point the good people as cheap, and those who kill in vain shall be punished."

It can be said that the Southern Xiongnu were strictly managed by the Han family.

Naturally, these people rebelled, but each rebellion resulted in defeat, followed by a more intense round of control.

In this process, the Huns also fully grasped the economy of the Southern Xiongnu.

Up to now, most of all the clothing, food and other goods of the Southern Xiongnu were transported from the mainland. For example, in the Meiji area, there are tens of thousands of business travelers staying all year round, all of which belong to the families of various heroes in Taiyuan.

These people brought salt, splendid scenery, and took away the cattle and sheep skins and furs of the Southern Xiongnu, and the huge trade exchanges made Meiji City a pearl on the grassland.

It's just that now this pearl of the grassland is covered with a layer of blood. And this is also the reason why Wang Rou has no time to draw troops south.

It turned out that the current Xiongnu Shan Yuqiangqu was a little unable to suppress the Hugh Tu Hu below.

And the cause of this incident is related to the southward movement of the Taishan army.

Hutu Gehu is one of the traditional royal families of the Xiongnu, who have been grazing in the Yunzhong area, and many of these tribes are in the Yanbei area. In the previous generation of the Northern Grassland Rebellion, Hugh Tu Gehu suffered a lot of losses.

Later, after the Taishan army came, they quickly took Pingcheng, and Hutu Gehu, who stayed nearby, knew that the Taishan army was strong, so he evacuated this grassland.

After that, the Taishan army took Yanmen Pass and quickly entered the basin area of the Han people.

Because according to the tradition of the Han people in the past, they will definitely be conscripted at this time. However, the troops of Hutu have been frightened by the combat strength of the Taishan army, and an incident that happened before has added to their "fear of Thailand".

That is, the Tuoba Department, which rose in strength to become a regional tyrant, was silently wiped out by the Taishan Army. How dare you let them provoke the Tarzan army.

Sure enough, the news spread that the Hun Zhonglang would send reinforcements from the state side of the state.

At this moment, Hugh Tu couldn't sit still. They began to clamoring for a number of tribes to oppose the sending of troops.

In fact, the various departments under the court of the Southern Xiongnu were very deeply contradictory to the Han family, especially the shogunate of the Hun Zhonglang general.

This is also their unjust case.

About ten years ago, Xindan Yu Tu Teruo's corpse chased Zang Min out of Yanmen to attack Xianbei Tanshi Huai, and then returned defeated, and Shan Yu also died that year.

After that, his son called for Shan Yu, but in the second year, he was killed by Zhang Xiu because of a disagreement with Zhang Xiu, the general of Zhonglang.

Now it's wronged. You must know that not to mention a big single Yu, it is a county order of a thousand stones, and there is no unauthorized killing. In addition, the father who called for the Han family still died, and the father bled and worked hard for the Han family, and in the end, the son was killed.

Do you say this is wrong?

Therefore, the Han family also realized that the problem was big at that time, and hurriedly escorted Zhang Xiu back to the court and executed him to atone for the crime.

But this hatred and humiliation of the Huns were buried in this way.

And there is another point, that is, the current Shan Yuqiang Canal was not elected by the Huns, but was supported by Zhang Xiu after killing the call.

Even after Hu Zheng's death, the Han Chinese did not determine the legal identity of Xin Shan Yu in accordance with past traditions.

As a vassal of the Han Dynasty, the Southern Xiongnu died in the old single, and the new single was in the standing, and they all needed the generals of Zhonglang to hang them, sacrifice them with wine and rice, and divide the troops to protect them.

Then the seal book was sent to comfort the new single Yu, and the seal ribbon, the crown was bequelled, the silk single clothes were three times, the boy was saber, the silk belt was one each, and four thousand horses were given, so that the kings and the bones were rewarded.

It can be said that after this set of processes, Shan Yu was recognized by the Han family and the Xiongnu ministries.

But now this Qiangqu has not gone through this process, so although he is single, many tribes do not recognize it.

It was precisely this that Hugh Tu Gehu took advantage of and connected the various ministries. For example, among the four noble races of the Xiongnu, the Huyan clan, the Lan clan, the Xu Bu clan, and the Qiu Lin clan all opposed sending troops.

These four are all descendants of the perennial intermarriage with Shan Yu, and their prestige within the Xiongnu is very deep.

So when these people opposed the dispatch of troops together, the pressure was put on Shan Yuqiangqu's head. And Qiangqu couldn't bear this, so he put pressure on Wang Rou.

At this time, Wang Rou was having a headache.

Wang Rou actually wanted to rescue Taiyuan very much, not to mention that the emperor ordered him to save him, but he also wanted to save Taiyuan for personal reasons.

He himself is from Taiyuan County, and his clansmen and Sangzi are all there, how can he sit and watch?

But he also understands that it is not false that the Southern Huns are surging now, and if these people are forced to send troops at this time, a big chaos is in front of them.

For this, Wang Rou was worried, he was originally a Confucian general who was like an immortal, but now his face was dark, his beard was gray, and his face was haggard with the naked eye.

His current thinking is that if the Huns really can't be mobilized, he can only use the shogunate's 3,000 cavalry, which is counting the shogunate's generals, officials, soldiers, servants, and vassals.

But this little force can't solve the dilemma at all, didn't the general Gai Xun of Duliao also take 3,000 horses away before, and then what? Now he is dead in Yanmen.

Wang Rou didn't want to die like this, he had great ambitions when he was young, and he went to visit Guo Tai, a famous man in the same county, with his younger brother Wang Ze, Guo Tai said that he would be prosperous in the future, and he would go straight to the top and be smooth sailing.

So like Wang Yun, he was also promoted by Guo Tai and became famous. But he is different from Wang Yun, that is, his family background is better than Wang Yun, and when Wang Yun was about to take the lead in the eunuch group, he Wang Rou had already been successfully filial and honest.

After that, he was a lang for three years, exiled for three years, and returned to the court for three years, and then when he was thirty-five years old, he was appointed as the Taishou of Jiuyuan in Northern Xinjiang.

In the years since, his career has been a horse, his clothes are dyed with dust, the blood in his hands is getting thicker and thicker, the officials are getting bigger and bigger, and his bearing is also sophisticated and sleek.

It can be said that everyone who has come into contact with Wang Rou will sigh that Uncle Wang is not arrogant or impatient when encountering problems, and is far-sighted and talented for the public instrument.

It is precisely because of his civil and military talents that he has recruited a group of fierce generals to work for him in northern Xinjiang.

But now that the situation has come to this point, he decided to play some tricks.

In the shogunate of the Hun Zhonglang General, he quietly instructed several warriors:

"You are all ready, when those people from the Hun court arrive, I will raise my glass, and you will rush out and kill those people."

Yes, Wang Rou has already decided to trap and kill those who oppose the sending of troops such as Hutu Gehu, Huyan, Lan, Xubu, and Qiulin by force.

Since you don't listen to what you say, it will only destroy you. This Hun soldier is coerced by Wang Rou.

Even he had already made a plan, if Qiang Qu did not cooperate, he would simply kill him together. Anyway, with such a single Yu, he can easily set up another one.

After making up her mind, Wang Rou also specially helped Luan to divinate the bad luck, and the result was superior. So he didn't hesitate anymore and just did it.

Now he has passed it on to these people, let them come to the shogunate to accept his adjustment, and when these people come in, he will send them away.

In the gloomy house, Wang Rou's face was ruthless and resolute, and she no longer had the graceful and kind appearance she had before.

At this time, there was a commotion outside the shogunate, and suddenly some staff members rushed inside, shouting:

"General Lang, Hugh Tu has reversed."

Wang Rou was taken aback:

"What?"

For a while, there was chaos in the shogunate, and each exclaimed.

The Hongmen banquet became a chaotic banquet.

In the second year of Taiwu, in October, Hugh slaughtered each Hu rebel and killed Wang Rou, the general of the Huns. and the left part of the Southern Xiongnu Hu He, kill its Shan Yu.

The son of Qiangqu Shan Yu Youxian Wang Yu Fuluo succeeded to establish Shan Yu, and Xiu Tu Hu set up another Xu Bu Gu Du Hou as Shan Yu, attacking each other.

Yu Fuluo was defeated, and he led thousands of his troops to ride south to annoy the pass, and took refuge in the state army.

Originally, he wanted Ding Yuan to support him to kill him back, but at this moment, Ding Yuan couldn't take care of this down-and-out Shan Yu anymore.

Because the battle in Yangqu Yikou has reached a critical moment.

……

On October 20, outside Yikou Pass, the Taishan Army camp.

The bull candle in the tent sparked, and a horse whip was heavily dotted on the word Yikou on the map.

Then Xu Huang, the vanguard commander of the Taishan Army, looked around at the generals present and said in a muffled voice:

"All the monarchs here are fierce generals on the battlefield, and I don't know how many hard and bloody battles I have fought with the king, so I never doubt your courage, nor do I doubt that this Yikou Pass will inevitably be taken down by us in the end. But I want to say that this time, no matter what means you use, I don't care about your casualties, I just want to pass the pass. ”

The generals in the tent sang in unison, and they had to start the night attack on Yikou Pass according to the scheduled schedule.

But at this moment, an urgent call came from outside the tent:

"Captain, the king's messenger is here."

Xu Huang took a deep breath and hurriedly led the generals out of the tent to greet him, but saw that the messenger was Han Hao, the general of the Taishan Army.

Because of his outstanding exploits in the town soldier system, this person was recently promoted to the cross-collision system as a team general. When he came, he was accompanied by a young mountain man.

After that, Han Hao and Xu Huang discussed secretly for a while, and when Xu Huang came out again, he said to the generals:

"The original plan remains the same, let's attack Yikou Pass at night."

The generals who had been waiting anxiously for a long time sang in unison, and then they left the camp.

And so the Great War broke out.

……

Under the Yikou Pass, the lights were bright, and the Taishan army was attacking as soon as it came up.

And surprisingly, the Han army in this pass fought very tenaciously. Within an hour, the Taishan army launched three fierce attacks, but all of them were routed by the Han army on the pass.

Because the road in front of the pass is steep, most of the siege equipment of the Taishan army can not be used at all, and can only use the most primitive method, carrying the ladder, braving the arrows, desperately attached to the ants.

And the Han army on the gate was condescending, smashing with a boulder, hitting the ladder with a batting rod, there was a wail below, the ladder knocked down, the ladder frame was scattered, and the dust was flying.

But the night gave all the protective colors, and everyone was enthusiastic, regardless of it, and the flesh and blood flew all over the pass for a while, and the tragedy was the worst since the Taishan army entered the state.

However, with the passage of time, the Taishan army climbed to the pass defense and joined the Han army in short combat. At this time, Xun Ling, the guard guarding the first wall, was swaying, and felt that the first line of defense could no longer be held, so he was ready to retreat to the back.

At this moment, a military flag rushed down from the mountain behind and rushed directly in front of Xun Ling.

Then before Xun Ling could explain, a cold light flashed, and his head flew out.

Everyone was shocked, because the murderer was Guan Chang Xun Cheng, and he was also Xun Ling's own uncle.

The officials glanced at Xun Cheng, who was bloody, and said nothing, and killed him again with a knife.

A moment later, the Taishan army outside the pass rang out with Mingjin.

The Taishan army attacked the pass for the first time and failed.
