Destiny Only Han

Chapter 552 Lu Wan: Destroy, hurry up!

Yanmen County, Pingcheng.

The moss reflects the white snow, the feathers fall silently, the white jade-like mountains lie in the vastness, and the snow-covered forests are still lush and tall.

Although it has been besieged by the Huns for a long time, the city is high and the pond is deep. The defenders mobilized all the men, women and children of the city to go up to the city to help defend, and repelled several attacks of the Huns one after another, thus forming a barrier between the two sides. The trenches scolded every day, the Huns did not attack, and the defenders in the city could not get out.

Therefore, when the Huns were worried that they would be raided by the Dai army in the east, they left only a few thousand rangers and continued to besiege Pingcheng. in the valley.

In the early morning, King Lan and several Xiongnu leaders stationed on the hillside of the horse, looked at the soaring smoke column that could not be covered by the mist in the mountains, and sighed for a long time.

This raid operation did not go smoothly at the beginning, and the smuggling at night turned into an open-flame invasion.

Then, under the strong walls and clear fields of the Han people in the south, the people living scattered around quickly moved into the nearest county town to live. Except for a few empty houses, there was not a grain of food left for them...

This made the group of Huns puzzled.

Where did the Han people get so many big animals?
Move faster than them!
King Lan looked back at the scattered tents in the mountains and valleys, shook his head slightly, feeling a little regretful in his heart.

The only ones who invaded Yanmen County this time were the army controlled by their Lan clan and the army of King Ding Ling who was married to the Lan clan. A total of four thousand cavalry were dispatched, with a total force of about 5.

This kind of force is fine, but it is not enough to support a big battle.

And Modun originally wanted to lead the Shanyu royal court, as well as loyal and his armies of the left and right wise kings, the left and right Guli kings, and the left and right captains, but the Xiongnu nobles with ulterior motives thought that Shanyu needed to take care of his health. Because of this, the sequence of the Great Crusade was excluded...

Well, in addition to the army of Shanyu Wangting directly controlled by Da Shanyu, the Xiongnu also set up 24 ten thousand cavalry chiefs to lead the army. The strength of each ten thousand cavalry chiefs depends on the strength of each tribe. It ranges from a thousand to ten or twenty thousand.

Among the 24 ten thousand cavalry chiefs, the twelve who theoretically must take orders from the Shanyu royal court are the sons and brothers of Modun who serve as the wise king of the left and right, the king of the left and right Guli, the captain of the left and right, and the hereditary Lan clan. The left and right big households, the hereditary left and right Daqiequ of the Xubu clan, and the hereditary left and right bone capitals of the Huyan clan.

As for the remaining twelve who listened to the tune and did not listen to the announcement, they were the three noble surnames of the Xiongnu, and other tribal leaders who belonged to the Shanyu royal court, namely King Huyan, King Xubu, King Lanshi, and King Kunxie. , King Xiutu, King Donghu, King Loufan, King Aries, King Dingling, King Jiankun, King Hujie, and King Wusun.

Of course, now the heads of King Aries and King Loufan have been passed on to Changan...

King Lan traveled thousands of miles to invade Yanmen County in his old age, in order to make his grandson the next Great Chanyu of the Huns!
In this way, his sons can get their hands on many positions that were previously monopolized by the Shuo family. Most importantly, when the pastures are divided at the annual tribal meeting, the herdsmen of the Lan family can get the best place!

For example, those grasslands belonging to the Suoda clan, and those fertile soils south of the Yin Mountain where the Qin people lived, those soils were tightly clenched, as if they were fertile soils that could produce oil!

When the smoke pillars soaring into the sky in the distance gradually dissipated, Zuo Dahu, who was left in Pingcheng to command the siege, rode up the hillside excitedly.

He didn't wait for the horse to stop, he jumped off the horse and rushed over in a panic, with an expression on his face that he couldn't tell whether it was joy or what kind of expression:
"Abba, the emperor of the Han people has come out of Mayi City!"

"How many people did he take with him?"

King Lan's heart tightened, and he began to think about which way the army would retreat...

Zuo Datanghu recalled for a while and said: "There are about 1 people, all of whom are infantry, and there are very few cavalry... But they brought a lot of carriages. I heard from the eagle shooter who came back to report that he looked down from the top of the mountain. The mountains are all over the place, and you can’t see the end at a glance!”

Ding Lingwang came over and shouted loudly:

"How many people? Are you sure it's the emperor of the Han country? Didn't you say that one county of the Han people is worth the entire population of us? Why are there so few? No matter, since he got out of the bastard shell, let's just Just rush over and kill him!"

Zuo Dahu frowned and said: "The ex-army is just a small part of the ex-army, do you understand? And just us, we may not be able to fight, right?"

Well, Dingling lives roughly in the current Lake Baikal, and the reason why King Dingling is so brave is that the drought that swept the entire grassland last time did not affect the grassland there, and it is far from Yanmen County from there. That's why Mao Dun didn't call him when he invaded Mayi last time...

But just like that, when the Huns lost a lot, the Dingling people hunted seals with wooden sticks in Lake Baikal, singing and dancing, so happy...

Hearing Zuo Dawanghu's lack of confidence, although Ding Lingwang didn't say anything, his face was full of expressions like 'despise you' and 'coward'.

Well, the reason why Ding Lingwang didn't dare to hate Zuo Da's family is that his wife is the other party's daughter and also his stepmother, and she is now pregnant...

After all, it's normal for grassland people to marry a stepmother...

However, King Lan's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward and asked Zuo Dawang: "Did the eagle shooter say which direction the emperor of Han is going?"

"Pingcheng." Zuo Dahu replied: "This is it!"

Lan's king turned around silently, climbed to the top of the mountain again, looked at the surrounding mountains, covered with snow, and suddenly had a bold idea in his heart.

If they can get rid of the emperor of Han here, let alone the title of 'Tu Qi', I'm afraid it will be easy for him to become the great Chanyu of the Huns himself!

After all, nomads worship the strong. The reason why Mao Dun lost his heart during this period was not because he suffered defeat in the war of Han, but mainly because his health was not good enough, he could not give birth to children, he could not ride strong horses, pull Do not open a hard bow!

Therefore, as long as he can cut off the head of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the position of Da Shanyu of the Huns should be inherited by the Talan clan!

..........................................

Yanshan is a natural boundary between the two ancient farming and herding peoples. The north of the mountain is the grassland of the nomadic people, and the south of the mountain is the field of the farming people. Therefore, Yanshan has become a natural line of defense for the farming people to defend against the invasion of nomadic peoples. Later, the farming empire A city wall was built along the mountain, and pass gates were built at important valley passages to facilitate entry and exit. This was the earliest prototype of the Great Wall.

The ancient city of Zaoyang was built during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, during the period of King Yan Zhao, about 300 BC. The builder of the city was Qin Kai, a general of Yan at that time. The five counties of Liaodong.

Zaoyang County is the westernmost end of the Great Wall of Yan State, which is the Zhangjiakou City of later generations.

As the king of Yan, in order to prevent the Huns from invading from here, Lu Wan took the initiative to take charge of the defense of Shanggu County, and handed over the defense of other places to Liu Jia, the king of Jing, and Lu Ze, the king of Lu, who came from afar.

After all, the north of Shanggu County is the sphere of influence of the Xiongnu Zuoxian King's Court and the Xiongnu Donghu King's Department, and the pressure of defense can be imagined.

In the evening, Lu Wan rode back from the west of Zaoyang County on horseback, and returned to the county government office in a dusty way, ready to take a hot bath and eat at the same time.

He not only inspected the Great Wall of Yan State these days, but also went to the Great Wall of Dai State next door for a circle, and staggered along the mountain road in the heavy snow, so it was very important to sleep well and eat hot food. extravagant thing.

Well, after all, he is still the Taiwei of the Han Empire, so naturally he can't beggar his neighbor, and only cares about the defense of the Great Wall of Yan State.

A moment later, Lu Wan was sitting in the steaming tub, holding a bowl of meat noodles with almost no noodles and only a few green leafy vegetables, frowning.

Too much meat...

He pulled it with chopsticks, and found that there were only a dozen noodles in the noodle bowl, which was bigger than his face, and the rest were fatty pork belly that was as thick as a finger and cooked so soft that it was fat but not greasy... …

So he let out a long sigh, and began to whirlwind.

The border county of Yan State is like this, the roads are too poor, the livestock cannot be transported out, and the food cannot be transported in, so we can only eat more meat and less food (Note 1)...

A moment later, when Lu Wan was hiccupping and preparing to go to sleep, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.

"Report to my king, there is a letter from King Han Feige, marked as urgent!"

"Bring it up!"

Lu Wan spread out the note, her face turned blue and red, and she patted the table angrily.

What was written in the letter was of course that Liu Bang led his army northward to Pingcheng, so in Lu Wan's view, that guy was trying to die again!

He was also the one who missed last time, and was blocked in Pengcheng and beaten up. Now that the enemy situation is unknown, is there another wave?

"Don't rest, order the brave cavalry in the Qi army, and follow Gu to Pingcheng to escort him!"

His current location is not far from Pingcheng, but the mountain is blocked by heavy snow and the road is not easy to walk.

Thinking of what happened to her after taking a hot bath and trying to fall asleep, Lu Wan wished she could rush to Liu Bang immediately and beat up the old guy...

Note 1: This is the experience of one of my uncles when he was in the Corps. When they first arrived in the Corps, no matter whether it was rice or noodles, two-thirds of the lunch was meat, and the only vegetables that could be eaten were potatoes and noodles. radish……

"Potato stewed beef, stewed mutton, and stewed pork are all painful... just have a bite of vegetarian dishes, stir-fry Shanghai green YYDS..."

This is the sentence he hates the most every time he comes to my house during the Chinese New Year. After all, the place where my father and the others jump in line is dun dun mixed noodle steamed bread, which is a mixture of sorghum flour, corn flour, and wheat flour...

Not to mention the meat, even the vegetable oil used for cooking can only be wiped on the pan with a cloth strip, and the excess oil must be poured back into the oil bottle after finishing the work...
