A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 528: The battle between the Four Dalings and Zhuo County, the battle across the river to resist the Han and Hu

March

The imperial court built an imperial mausoleum next to the ancestral mausoleum in the north of Qiyang, called the Imperial Mausoleum of Daxia. Emperor Bai Zhai of the Yuan Dynasty was buried in this mausoleum, still following the principle of thin burial of the ancestors, with only one jade, one garment and one box of books.

According to the records of the Bai family, including the current imperial tombs, there are four tombs of the family heads of the Bai family starting from the ancestor Bai Zhi, namely:
Bailing is located around Baiyi, which has disappeared and was buried by yellow sand. It buries the ancestors from Baiyi to the eighth ancestor Baiyuan.

Tailing, located around Taiyuan deep in the Taihang Mountains that was destroyed by a torch, contains the burials of the ninth ancestor Bai Qing to the twenty-ninth ancestor Bai Xin.

The Ancestral Tomb is located in the north of Qiyang (formerly Chaoge), where the 30th ancestor Bai Qing to the 52nd ancestor Bai Yan are buried.

The imperial mausoleum is located in the north of Qiyang, next to the ancestral mausoleum. It is several times larger than the ancestral mausoleum. Today, only the fifty-third ancestor (Xia Xianzu) Bai Zhai is buried.

Obviously, since Bai Zhai, all the emperors of Daxia have entered this mausoleum.

It can be seen from the posthumous events that the Xia Kingdom is different from the other Zhao and Jin states. Every time the emperor of the other two countries dies, they will build mausoleums and spend money and money.

Starting from Bai Zhai, the Xia Kingdom had decided that future emperors should not build more palaces or mausoleums. They only had to live in one palace and be buried in one mausoleum. The palace would be the white house and the mausoleum would be the imperial mausoleum.

Just as Bai Zhai's coffin was being buried, the war in the north also began.

March 23
More than 14,000 soldiers of Youzhou Governor Tian Huang were besieged by Duan Pixian in Jizhou. At the same time, Duan Pixian united with the Tuoba clan of Daiguo and asked them to send troops in order to block Xia Ting's reinforcements.

Bai Lin, the governor-general, and Yuan'an, the general of Zhenbei, led an army of 100,000. Near Fanyang, they encountered the blocking Dai army.

The leader of Dai's army was King Tuoba Huna who personally went on an expedition with 50,000 cavalry under his command.

Seeing the large number of Xia troops, including forty to fifty thousand cavalry, Tuoba Hena immediately sent someone to contact Duan Pixi and asked him to come here quickly and fight with him against the Xia army, otherwise he would withdraw immediately.

March 25
Duan Pixi, who was attacking Jizhou day and night, received a letter from Tuoba Yina. He had no choice but to give up the siege of Jizhou and sent his general Duan Liao to lead 20,000 troops. He did not attack but could not teach him to leave the city.

He led 50,000 iron cavalry to help Tuoba Yigna.

March 28
The Xia army and the rebels encountered each other in Zhuoxian. Both sides had a hundred thousand troops, but the rebels were almost all cavalry, while the Xia army was split equally between infantry and cavalry.

In order to fight against the Tuoba clan and Duan clan's cavalry, Bai Lin had already prepared.

Under the suggestion of Yan Qi, the chief secretary of the account, more side carriages were brought, so the Xia army's formation was circular.

The Xia army connected the side carriages end to end and formed a circle. Lancers, swordsmen, and crossbowmen stood behind the carriages to defend. The cavalry gathered in the center of the circle, waiting for the opportunity.

Tuoba Yina looked at the Xia army's formation that looked like a turtle shell in front of him and felt that he had no idea where to start.

At this time, Pixi spoke confidently:
"The King does not need to worry too much. The only one who is worried among the Xia Army is Yuan An. If the general of the Xia Army was Yuan An, I would still be a little worried, but now that the general of the Xia Army is Bai Lin, I am very relieved.

I heard that Bai Lin is just a clan member of the Bai family. It is located in Qiyang all year round. It is pampered and has no contact with war. It is just a scholar.

When he was stationed in Yicheng, I dealt with him. He didn't have any majesty at all, he just looked as weak as a woman, so there is no need to worry too much.

We only need to attack the formation fiercely, Bai Lin will be panicked and at a loss, disrupting the morale of his own army. At that time, it will be our opportunity. "

After Tuoba Yinna heard this, he felt much relieved and immediately sent people to attack together with Duan Pixi.

Duan Pizhen sent his general Duan Lan, with two troops totaling more than 30,000 people, galloping around the Xia Army's circular formation and launching missiles in an attempt to find a weakness in the Xia Army.

But Xia Jun remained motionless.

Duan Lan had no choice but to lead people to charge into the Xia Formation.

In the Xia army's formation, Bai Lin watched the enemy cavalry approaching from a high platform.

Duan Pixian was right, Bai Lin was too handsome, and the wife of the professors in the academy did not have any military aura at all.

"Your Majesty, the enemy is approaching on horseback."

Yuan An explained respectfully from the side.

Bai Lin nodded, turned to Yuan An and said softly:
"Before setting off for the expedition, my royal brother warned me, please don't worry about all matters in the army and those who obey the general.

Liu Wei. "

"The general is here!"

"This is my king's order. In today's battle, all of you must obey the general's orders meticulously. The general's military orders are my king's orders. However, if there is even the slightest delay, I will never spare you. Are you clear? "

"I will obey the king's order."

Yuan An saluted Bai Lin, and led the generals behind him, as well as the generals who originally belonged to Bai Lin, to the front line.

Bai Lin turned around again and looked at the battle ahead.

"The enemy cavalry is coming, the crossbowmen are ready!!!"

"put!"

"Bang, bang, bang!" The large and small crossbows in Xia's army kept moving towards the galloping rebels.

"Come on, charge forward, it will be the end of the Xia people and the glory of the Duan tribe, for the sake of the tribe!"

Encouraged by Duan Lan, the Duan cavalry continued to approach the box formation despite the dense rain of arrows, and the Tuoba cavalry also followed.

"what!"

Duan's cavalry collided with the carriage and were harvested by the Xia army's spears and spears behind the carriage, and the speed of the cavalry also dropped sharply.

Duan Pixi, who was in the distance, saw that his own troops could not tear apart the Xia army's line for a long time, and he was very anxious. After thinking about it, he decided to go into battle himself.

Soon, Duan Pixi led the remaining 30,000 people under his command to attack the Xia army from another direction.

The same goes for Tuoba Yina.

In this way, one hundred thousand Xia troops were attacked by the rebels from three sides.

Time continued to pass, and the sun was about to set. Under the command of Yuan An, the Xia Army's circular formation still stood under the battlefield.

"Send the Mo Dao Battalion to attack the enemy forces in the northwest!" In order to end the war before dark, Yuan An sent out his trump card.

"cut!!!"

With Mo Daoying's participation in the battle, the Duan Lan tribe in the northwest was soon on the verge of collapse.

"Order, Hu Yanying will lead the cavalry out from the northwest, cover up and kill the enemy troops there, and then go around to the enemy troops in the east."

Hu Yanying listened to the order and took the 40,000 cavalry troops in Xia's army that had not been used. They quickly drove out of the circular formation from the northwest and directly defeated Duan Lan's tribe.

Hu Yanying did not pursue more, but led his army to attack Tuoba Yi's tribe in the east.

Tuoba Yinna saw that the situation was not right and immediately issued a retreat order.

When Hu Yanying saw the Tuoba tribe escaping, he only paused for a moment, then went around and attacked the Duan Pijin tribe in the southwest.

"Da Shanyu, leave quickly. As long as you are still here, we still have a chance."

Under the protection of his tribe, Duan Pixi managed to escape from the battlefield, but the tens of thousands of cavalry under his command were left behind.

In this battle, the Xia army lost more than 10,000 people, beheaded 30,000 enemies, and captured more than 10,000 people. The enemy general Duan Lan was beheaded by Hu Yanying, Tuoba Yina fled with the remaining troops, and Duan Pixi fled back to Duanjiang Province alone. Liao Department.

April
Xia Jun arrived in Guangyang, which was only separated by a river from Jizhou.

Duan Pixi and Tuoba Yinna, who had escaped, combined their 60,000 troops to still besiege Jizhou.

"Master Duan, if your energy ends here, then my Tuoba tribe will no longer accompany you.

This king will not sacrifice the life of Tuoba tribe's son for Duan Pixi's stupidity. "

Although Tuoba Yina's words were unpleasant to hear, Pi Fei still needed to rely on his strength at this time, because he only accounted for 20,000 of the 60,000-strong army.

Only by talking hard can Tuoba Yina be stabilized.

Back at the camp, Duan Pixi frowned and kept sighing. Seeing this, Duan Liao gave his suggestion:

"Da Shanyu, please ask for help."

"Where can I ask for help? The Tuoba tribe has already arrived and is about to leave at sight. The leader of the Yuwen tribe is cowardly and does not dare to go against the Xia Kingdom. Murong tribe?

During last year's war, Murong Huang wanted to eat my flesh and drink my blood, so how could he send reinforcements? "

Duan Liao knelt down and said:
"Great Chanyu, this battle is no longer between ourselves and the Xia Kingdom, but between the Han people and the Xianbei people.

It is precisely because of this reason that leader Tuoba ignored the power of Xia State and personally led his troops.

We Xianbei people finally rose up and occupied the vast Liaodong and Liaoxi, as well as the vast prairie. This is a great feat that the Xiongnu Empire did not complete.

As long as we Xianbei people unite, the empire we forge will definitely be no worse than the Huns.

But now that the Xia Kingdom has risen, it means that the Han people are coming back again. We must not let them develop, otherwise we will fall back into the precarious days we had before.

Are you really willing? "

Duan Pizhen's brows were so furrowed that it seemed like black water could flow out, and the hesitation in his heart seemed like a mess.

"Da Chanyu, whether you, leader Tuoba, or Murong Huang, no matter how they live, they are all heroes of the Xianbei people, just like the three heroes of Xianbei back then.

The humble general believed that with Murong Huang's intelligence, he would definitely send troops. "

Duan Pixi sighed and asked:
"what should I do?"

Duan Liao replied:
"The Great Chanyu should first take Murong Han into custody and send him to Murong Huang. First, based on our sincerity, and then the Great Chanyu will send envoys to persuade him. We will definitely get Murong Huang's help."

"Okay, as you said, you immediately return to Liaoxi, capture Murong Han, and personally escort him to Liaodong."

"Yes."

That night, Duan Liao took hundreds of horses to Liaoxi County.

Not only the rebel camp is discussing countermeasures, but the Xia army camp is also raising accounts.

“Although our army defeated Duan Pixi and Tuoba Yina in Zhuoxian, their strength did not suffer much damage.

Now a clear spring river prevents our army from advancing. Do the generals have any countermeasures? "

Bai Lin sat on the horse and looked around at the generals and counselors in the tent.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the most urgent task is not to think about how to cross the river, but how to save yourself."

Joining the army Lu Qiubei's words made everyone present clamor.

"Luqiu joins the army, why do you say this?"

Yuan An replaced Bai Lin and asked Lu Qiubei humbly.

"Your Majesty, since the Tuoba clan of Dai Kingdom has been involved, the nature of this war has changed from countering rebellion to a war between the Han people and the Xianbei people to compete for Hebei.

If the Han win, Daxia will inherit all the prestige in Hebei since the Han Dynasty and suppress northern Xinjiang again.

If the Xianbei people win, Daxia will withdraw from Youbin and will be limited to Jizhou from now on, handing over northern Xinjiang to the Xianbei people.

And the most important thing is that there is a high possibility that a foreign empire more powerful than the Huns Empire will appear in northern Xinjiang.

This empire will be the greatest danger to Daxia, and may even be a lifelong enemy. "

Bai Lin was a little nervous and asked respectfully:

"Sir, please enlighten me."
