Chapter 42 Sweeping the Mobei and Returning Victorious
The march of thousands of miles was frightened by a hundred battles, and the victory of the present day was light.
Before leaving, it was the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the ground had turned into ice when I returned.
The clothes are wrapped in armor and do not feel cold, and Cui Ma Xing holds the reins.
The soldiers will eventually set foot on the country, and the man's iron blood will become tender.
The book is brief, and on the second day, all the soldiers finished breakfast, and the barracks rang out three cannons, and the camp was set up.
The army continued to advance into the steppes. This line is more than a month. The army hit to the north to Lake Baikal and to the west to the Jungar Basin. Along the way, all the tribes and tribes were uprooted, and nearly two million people were captured. The logistics troops were escorted back to the Great Wei border in batches.
Before the Khan was defeated, after returning to the tribe, an emergency meeting was held, and the eight departments of the steppe naturally took away most of the people of their direct tribes, and followed the Great Khan to the west and went to the west coast to expand the territory.
The Wei army went all the way to the north, then to the west, then to the south, and then to the east, and made a big circle.
On this day, on the way to the east, there was suddenly a report from Tanma, ten miles ahead, the Gaoche tribe is now about 200,000 people, please ask the emperor to decide, whether to attack or detour.
After hearing this, the emperor said: "I don't know how many tribes have been destroyed along the way. This high-speed car department, in my western Xinjiang, has also been harassed repeatedly. I met it today, and I will not let it go. Inform the three military horses, all of them move forward quickly, and take down this high-chariot tribe before dark. ”
The spy obeyed and turned to go down. It was early winter, and it was getting dark early.
At present, the Wei army is now manned, and with the logistics personnel, they are constantly returning to the rear to send prisoners of war, and the total number of the three armies is less than 40,000.
In Mobei, the whole battle was fought for more than two months. Now on the way back, I met this tribe. The Gaoche clan, in the grassland, can be regarded as a big tribe.
Since it was winter, there was no way to be nomadic, so the whole tribe was gathered together. This is good, I ran into the Wei army.
Although the high car, today the tribe has more than 200,000 people. But after years of war, most of the young and middle-aged people died in battle. There are not many people left who can carry knives and guns, even if you add fifteen or sixteen-year-old children, there are less than 20,000. Most of them are the elderly, women, children. Such a tribe is already very weak in the steppe.
After a short time, the army of Wei surrounded the Gaoche tribe, and the Gaoche patriarch was an old man in his sixties. When he heard that a large army was coming, he hurriedly gathered the young men. Outside the camp, I looked at the regular army in neat uniforms and bright armor all around. Know that this is, the legendary Northern Expeditionary Army.
In order to protect the inhabitants, the chief could not take much care of it. Today, if you fight hard, the whole clan will become a ghost.
The chief knew that his own people, a few pounds and a few taels. It's more than enough to beat a roe deer and kill a wolf. But with the regular army, it is ironclad.
So still, just take it soft. So he hurriedly stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "I don't know which army is in front? Who is leading the army? Can you allow the little old man to say a few words with the eldest brother of the army." ?”
A soldier replied: "I am, the northern army of Wei. The leader of the team is His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Wei Kingdom. ”
When the chief heard that it was, the emperor personally recruited the army, and hurriedly said: "Then trouble Brother Jun, let's talk about it, just say that I am a Gaoche clan, more than 200,000 people, and I am willing to return to the Great Wei State." Please ask the Emperor of Great Wei to be gracious, let me go, and leave a way for me to survive."
The soldiers of the Wei State naturally couldn't be the master, and said: "I can't be the master of this." Wait for me to inform Your Majesty, and your Majesty will decide. The chief bowed deeply and said, "It's hard work!" and the soldier turned and left, and went to see the official.
The former army was passed from the herald to the Chinese army, and the Chinese army was passed from the herald to the emperor. After hearing this, the emperor turned his head and asked Yu Jia: "What does the prince think about this matter?"
Gotcha, kick the ball to Yu Jia. When Yu Jia saw the emperor asking herself, she immediately replied: "Your Majesty, since the Gaoche Department is willing to submit to my Heavenly Empire, this is naturally a good thing. It also avoided the flames of war and calmed the threat of the frontiers. But after this conversion, how to settle them, and how to restrain them?
When His Majesty heard this, he nodded. Yes, it is easy to surrender, how to control them? You must know that on this grassland, the Great Wei is not, and if you want to, you can send troops. Once they go back on their word, they can't reach it.
It is better to have rules and regulations that restrict them. After thinking about it, the emperor said to the herald, "Let the chief, with a few representatives, come to me." ”
The effort was not great, and the chief of the Gaocha Department, with two representatives, came to the emperor's horse, and after the salute, the two sides had a detailed discussion on the matter of accepting the surrender. In the end, a copy was formed, and both parties signed and pledged, which was considered effective.
The general content of the book is that more than 20 people from the Gaoche Department have now surrendered to the Wei State and become the subjects of the Wei State, and how much tribute is paid to the Great Wei State every year, and they are not allowed to rebel, and if there is a foreign enemy intruding on the Gaoche Department, the Great Wei State will send troops to support. From then on, the Gaoche Department moved to the border of Wei, settled 30 kilometers away, reclaimed the barren land, and the nomadic area was within 200 kilometers, and so on.
It's also written in more detail. This time, without using force, he conquered the Gaoche Department, 200,000 people. The emperor was very happy, and said, "Tonight, we will camp in this high car department, and set off again early tomorrow morning." Since the chief is already a great Wei people, tonight, I will have a drink with me. Let you have a good mouth, how about a taste of my Great Wei Kingdom, the wine?"
The chief bowed and said, "It is a blessing for the little old man to be fortunate to be able to drink with His Majesty, so naturally he does not dare to refuse." Your Majesty, it is better to move to my tribe, from the little old man, to the friendship of the landlord. ”
The emperor said, "Eh, there is no need to be so troublesome, there is a great power in our army. When you eat the food and drink this wine, you will feel that there is no more food and wine in this world."
He turned his head to Junhou and said, "Junhou, I have to make you bleed today." But don't worry, when you return to the capital, I will reward you well. Today, I want to rejoice with the people. You have to be generous, don't drop me, the price of the Celestial Empire. ”
Yu Jia listened to this, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister will go down and prepare"
The dignified prince and marquis started the firehead army. Yu Jia ordered the soldiers to set up camp on the spot, set up a bonfire tonight, drink wine and eat meat.
When all the soldiers heard this, they all cheered, full of energy, and their hands were much faster. It didn't take long for the tent to be erected.
Yu Jia dedicated again, thousands of demon beasts, each of which was more than a thousand catties. The soldiers helped clean up, set up piles on bonfires, and roasted monsters one by one. More than a dozen people sat around the bonfire and waited for the monster meat to be roasted.
Yu Jia put a few jars of wine next to each bonfire, and then returned to the emperor and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the dinner has been prepared, and please move Your Majesty, sit by the bonfire with the chief, bake the fire, and chat while eating." ”
After hearing this, the emperor smiled and said, "Okay, I said chief, go, let you taste, what is the delicious food in the world, fine wine." ”
The chief replied with a smile: "That little old man, but he has a good mouth." After that, he accompanied the emperor and others to a bonfire, and Yu Jia cast a spell again, changing tables, chairs, cups and plates and other objects, from the small world, took out all kinds of fruits, and took out several jars of wine, and poured wine for the emperor, chieftain and others.
Then I fished it out, and I saw a huge monster beast flying over. Yu Jia took the sword with her fingers, and made a few strokes in a row, and the demon beasts were instantly decomposed and turned into small pieces, like flowing water, and fell into the plate one after another.
Yu Jia stopped and said, "Your Majesty, please eat." The emperor replied with a smile: "Okay, everyone is seated, the march is out, there is no need to be so much, etiquette, let's do it." ”
Everyone sat down and began to eat. Everyone has eaten animal meat and knows that this is a rare good thing. No one is welcome, grab a piece, and send it to your mouth.
This chief also has some show rice, and in the Great Wei Kingdom, he always has to hold it in front of the emperor. The emperor looked at the chieftain, hesitated, took a larger, bone-bearing piece of meat, put it on the chief's plate, took the meat in his mouth, and said, "Eat, good thing." ”
When the chief saw the emperor, he brought food for himself with his own hands, and he always had to eat some, otherwise it would be too bad to give the emperor face. So symbolically, tear off a piece of meat and put it in your mouth. Before he could chew it, the meat turned into an aura and entered his abdomen. Suddenly excited, very comfortable.
Fang knew that the emperor really didn't tell a lie. This is indeed a good thing. After tasting it, he was no longer reserved, and like everyone else, he began to gobble and swallow.
And so did the two who came with the chieftain. As if fighting, everyone began to look at the plate and eat the meat in their hands, afraid that they would eat one less piece.
Yu Jia looked, yes, it seems that this one is not enough. He hurriedly turned around, came to the campfire, set up another one, and told the soldiers to watch the fire.
He turned around and returned to his seat, because it would take some time for the next one to be roasted, so Yu Jia spoke: "Your Majesty, everyone, this meat pipe is enough today." You don't have to worry too much, this second beast meat has already been put on fire. It still needs to be baked, for a while, let's have a drink and wait, how about it?"
The people at the table of feelings are all rushing to eat the meat and forgetting to drink the wine.
After listening to Yu Jia's words, the emperor took over and said, "Chief, don't mind, I can't take care of it today, I just took care of it." Come and taste this wine, this wine is only available to the prince of Yujia! Today, you want to drink a few more sips, it will be good for you! And it's a big one!"
While laughing, everyone raised their glasses, collided one after another, and drank all the wine. The chief drank the wine, and was shocked again, you know, the grassland is full of good wine. Not to mention that I grew up with wine since I was a child, I also drank it, and I have been drinking it for most of my life. Today's wine is really different from the wine I used to drink.
When this wine enters the throat, not only is it not strong, but it is also, turning into aura into the body, which makes people feel more energetic. Isn't there a saying that wine is the essence of grain, and the more you drink it, the younger you are.
Yu Jia's wine is, the more you drink, the younger you get. The chieftain is enlightened today. Seeing that this wine was indeed a rare thing, he couldn't care about face anymore and let go of it.
People are like that, unattractive things, put in front of your eyes, you don't feel it yet. But once it becomes attractive to you, I want to get more. This is what human desires dictate.
Just like a beauty, you know her beauty. But she is far away from you, a little out of reach, and you will stop thinking about it. But every day, when she passes by your door, you should ponder, how can you get her?
Good wine, like beautiful color, is a good thing. I want to taste a few more bites. From this point on, after drinking, there will naturally be more talk. Everyone drank happily, and they started chatting, which took a long time.
Yu Jia was in charge of eating, and when the second beast meat came up, there were already five jars of wine on the table. The meat is eaten, and the wine is drunk. The chief was an old man in his sixties. But where is there a sixty-year-old man in this place! The chief is now full of glory, and the white hair on his head has disappeared, and has become a long black hair. The wrinkles on the face are gone, the skin is shiny, and the complexion is still dark after being on the grassland for a long time.
Here, there has been a change, the chief, naturally not yet noticed. I just feel that the more I drink this wine, the stronger it becomes. Before I knew it, I wanted to have a few more drinks. Everyone's attention is on wine and food, and naturally no one pays attention to these details.
Because everyone else has drunk and eaten, they naturally know it. Only the three chiefs did not know the beauty of the food and the wine. One man ate the flesh of the two beasts cleanly, and drank ten jars of wine.
At this time, it was almost time, Yu Jia hurriedly told the emperor that it was getting late, and she would have to travel far tomorrow.
After hearing this, the emperor did not dispute any more, waved his hand and said, "Today's wine, let's stop here." Good things, but they can't be wasted. Chief, when you go home, you have to hold on! This drunken stamina, but it's big, but you need a few more, and the girl should serve!
For a while, the chief didn't understand what the emperor meant, and said with a smile: "This wine, I did drink a lot tonight, but I haven't drunk yet, don't worry, don't worry." ”
After listening to the chief's answer, the emperor laughed even more, and said, "When the chief returns, he will know, ha, ha." You and I, say goodbye. I'll drink with you when I'm going to pay tribute next year."
The chief smiled and said, "Your Majesty, next year to pay tribute, the little old man will naturally go." Today, I will no longer disturb Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will rest in peace sooner, and I will leave tomorrow."
After saying a few words, the chief took him with him, and went back with the two of them. Before leaving, Yu Jia gave each of them a jar of wine and asked them to give their families a sip. The three of them thanked them again, and then left the barracks and went back to the tribe.
The three of them happily walked back. By the moonlight, I don't know who found out first, something was wrong. After a closer look, he confirmed that he was not dazzled, and said in surprise: "Chief, chief, your face and hair have changed, and you have become younger!"
When the chief heard this, he was a little puzzled and asked, "What, what is young?"
Take a closer look at each other. found each other, also younger. The three of them looked at each other carefully, and found that it was indeed true. All three have become younger. At this time, the chief and the chief understood what the emperor said before leaving. Let a few more maids serve themselves! Thinking about themselves, but they haven't been sticky for decades. It seems that tonight is really going to return to the majesty of the past.
Thinking about it, he laughed and said, "Let's go home quickly, haha, today the little old man wants to be a man again! ”
The three of them here are very happy. Go home, implement the plan to create people, and say Yu Jia and others.
All the soldiers removed the bonfires, cleaned them, and went into their tents to sleep.
Nothing was said all night. At dawn, they began to cook again, and the soldiers began to eat breakfast, and then they set up camp.
The Great Army continued eastward. In three days, you will be able to set foot on the land of the motherland again.
After pacifying the grasslands and northern Xinjiang, there were not so many wars. Therefore, the defense of northern Xinjiang does not need so many soldiers to guard. The people on this trip have all made outstanding achievements. A large number of people will be disarmed, and the soldiers will be very happy.
Everyone was in high spirits, and the horses seemed to feel it, and the mood of the masters was also rolling over with their hooves and running fast.
40,000 people, the army marches day and night. On this day, I finally set foot on the land. Thirty miles ahead, there is the town of Woye. Looking into the distance, the new city of Fertile Fields is in front of you.
The emperor gave an order: "Enter the city!"
When we finally went home, everyone shouted loudly and resounded in the sky.
Finally came back alive! Everyone, tears couldn't help but flow out, that is, I couldn't help myself in the depths of my feelings.
The soldiers beat their horses and whips, and rushed towards the new city of Woye.
Commander Woye had already received a letter saying that a large army was marching towards us from the direction of the desert. Hurriedly took the personal guards and came to the top of the city tower. Hand over the pergola and look into the distance.
The 40,000 or so people of the Wei army quickly whipped their horses and screamed, and that battle was really terrifying.
Commander Woye was also confused. When, the steppe army came again.
Hurriedly ordered: "Enemy attack!" Archers prepare. ”
Far away, I didn't see the other party's flag clearly. I just thought that a large army was coming. Who knows, it was his own emperor who personally conquered and returned victorious.
An army of 40,000 people, the war horses ran fast. The work is not large, and it is only three or four miles away from the city.
At this time, I saw clearly in the wilderness. A young general had already ascended the building to report that he had seen the other party's flag, and it was our Wei army. After hearing this, the city lord hurriedly said: "Could it be that the expeditionary force has returned? Could it be that my emperor's personal army has returned victorious?"
The emperor's northern expedition, the six towns in the north, all know. How could the border city not know about such a big thing. After thinking about it, he hurriedly ordered to go down, and quickly open the gates of the city, and welcome the triumph of His Majesty my lord. said that he was in a hurry to get down to the city tower.
The army marched out to kill the enemy, and was frightened day and night.
Often accompanied by five more laughter, the sunset in the West Mountain is uneven.
Homesickness is difficult to sleep in the middle of the night, and the morning signal comes from the war horse hurry.
Singing triumphant songs in unison, the heart was excited, and the boy's seven feet of tears turned into streams.
