Spring and Autumn I Am King

"Chilechuan, under Yinshan Mountain. The sky is like a dome, covering the four fields.

The sky is blue, the wild is vast. The wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep..."

Stationed in the endless, rolling prairie, Zhao Jia's eyes saw the Yinshan Mountains like a line dozens of miles away in the north. Above the mountains, there was a wider blue sky and white clouds.

With the increase of age and the broadening of his eyes, Zhao Jia's worship for his brother has not weakened in the slightest, but has become stronger.

She couldn't help but admire Zhao Jia. When she was first born, the Zhao family was only one of the six ministers of Jin. By the time she reached her nephew, Zhao State had already become a great country, the uncle of the world.

All of this is due to Zhao Wuxi's genius, her sky is supported by her brother, and her world is developed by her brother.

Now, she finally left her brother's wings and began to witness what he had never witnessed before, but she was stunned to find that no matter where she went, she could not get rid of her brother's shadow, such as now.

"Brother has never been to Yin Mountain in the future, why can you sing the magnificence and beauty of this place in a short song?"

It seems to be immersed in the scene, and it is like living here for decades, and can tell what the grassland people see and think. Although Zhao Jia asked people all over, he couldn't find a tribe named "Chile", let alone where the so-called "Chile Chuan" was.

At this time, more than ten days have passed since the army of Zhao Guoxi Road left the fortress. Youcheng arranged the 2,000 Mayi and Loufan cavalry under Zhao Jia's command on the left flank, and asked her to go as far north as possible to the foot of Yinshan Mountain.

Unlike Donghu, which initially unifies all the tribes at the foot of Yanshan Mountain, there are still hundreds of small tribes scattered in the narrow strip from the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain to the Hetao, with clans bristling and fighting endlessly. But generally speaking, they belong to the same race. Their language is incompatible with Loufan language, which is considered to be "Rong people". It is similar to the language of Donghu people, but the difference is still very big. comminicate.

Zhao Jia did not know that although both sides were of the Altaic language family, the tribes under the Yin Mountain belonged to the Turkic language family of later generations, that is, the ancestors of the Turks and Uighurs. The Donghu is the Mongolian language family, and the Donghu is the ancestor of Wuhuan, Xianbei and Mongolia.

The two language groups are on the grasslands, one east and one west, and the difference is clear. In the savage grasslands, blood, clan, and language are all important judgments for distinguishing between friends and foes. It is the westward advance of the ancient Donghu people, which will also threaten the safety of all the ministries of Yinshan.

Therefore, the strategic purpose of Zhao Jia's group, in addition to protecting Youcheng's flank, is to deter all the Yinshan tribes, let them know the interests of Zhao Jun, and tell them that the grasslands have not changed! The wings of Zhao Guoxiong eagle still cover Yanshan and Yinshan!

When he was resting in Zhuwenze, Zhao Jia came forward and asked the interpreter who was proficient in the language to say to some nearby tribal messengers: "The Zhao people only like to farm the fields, and they are not interested in your pastures. But the Donghu people are different. After expelling the tribes of Yinshan, taking this fertile pasture as their own, and taking your wives and daughters by force, after a generation or two, the subjects of the tribes of Yinshan may change their nonsense and regard themselves as Donghu people!"

This is not an alarmist. The origins of some large tribes on the grasslands are very complicated, often a few or even a dozen or 20 tribes are combined together. But they all used the most powerful and most respected tribe name as their name, so the Donghu, which was not big at first, gradually became the collective name of the tribes east of Daze, and the same is true for the Xiongnu, Mongolia, and Xianbei in later generations. .

The wave of Tuntian in Dai County was far from reaching all the ministries at the foot of Yinshan Mountain. On the contrary, they benefited a lot from the mutual trade in Mayi and Longcheng. In comparison, the threat posed by Donghu is greater. Since the Zhao army can dispatch thousands of cavalry at one time, and the entire grassland is no match for it, then the ministries at the foot of Yin Mountain also chose to surrender wisely, saying that they will never collude with the Donghu people and do harm to Zhao State behind their backs.

After the plan to cross the Yinshan Mountains and cut off Donghu's arm was completed, Zhao Jia led the army to continue to march northeast, chasing the pace of Youcheng.

Compared with the last time Yu Xi's northern expedition, Zhao Guo's intelligence work was better this time. An important pasture for the Donghu people has been found by the caravan sent by Yidun. The West Road Expeditionary Force will span thousands of miles and point directly to Donghu's spring pasture: Daze!

...

"Shan Hai Jing" contains: Dong Hu is in Da Zedong.

Daze, also known as Dalai Nuoer, means "the sea" in the Donghu language. The Donghu people have never seen the sea and only think that this vast lake is the largest water area in the world.

The blue lake is like a mirror left on the grassland. It is calm and without waves. The lakeside is overgrown with reeds and inhabited by various rare birds. The south bank of the lake is rolling sandy land with verdant trees, and the east and north sides of the lake are open and boundless grasslands. The colorful lakes and grasslands are refreshing.

This is one of the cradles that nurtured the Donghu tribe. In the last Yuxi expedition to the north, they searched for more than a thousand miles without seeing a trace of Donghu. In fact, they gathered here.

Donghu was originally a divided tribe, not under each other, but because of the common worship of the goddess of Chishan, they gathered together and formed a tribal alliance. But in the end, it was the Liuhe Department that got the saddle and stirrups that made the alliance unified, which made the cavalry of the headquarters quickly and powerful.

The Donghu people are full of reverence for Liuhe, thinking that he is the highest flying eagle on the grassland, but this time, Liuhe seems to have stabbed a hornet's nest, bringing endless trouble to the Donghu people.

Since the incident of Donghu's attack on the people of Bianyi in Dai County, the powerful Zhao State began to notice this pre-unified tribal alliance and sent a large army to conquer it. Last time, the Donghu people took advantage of their familiarity with the grasslands to keep leading those Zhao people by the nose to the depths of the grassland, and throw the animal carcasses cursed by the sky into the water, poisoning the Zhao people and telling them to return in spite of the difficulties.

But facing those Zhao Qi armed to the teeth, Liu He didn't even dare to intercept their retreat, and could only let them retreat.

I thought it would stop for a few years, but as the summer begins this year, the army of Zhao State will come again...

The national strength of the great powers in the Central Plains is so terrifying!

This time the situation was even more severe than last time. The three-way army, with more than 20,000 chariots and riders, had no choice but to give up the large grasslands they had occupied.

But retreating all the time is not the answer. It is spring, and it is the season when livestock need pasture. Unless it is absolutely necessary, the Donghu people will not withdraw from Rao Leshui, let alone give up their holy mountain, Chifeng. Therefore, the young men of each tribe were gathered by Liuhe, trying their best to delay the attack of the Zhao army, while the old and weak women and children of several tribes in the west hid in Dalai Nuoer. They drove cattle, sheep and horses to live in a hut by the lake, hoping that the sky and the goddess Chishan would still bless Donghu and their Kunfu brothers.

They didn't know that the rider scouts cruising in the west were being chased by a group of cavalry equipped with horseshoes that could run longer on the grasslands. When the warning came back, it was too late.

When Youcheng and Zhao Jiashuai’s troops arrived, the Donghu people on the banks of the Daze were driving the cattle and sheep back into the circle. The loud pastoral songs reverberated by the blue lake, the whips slapped loudly, and the shepherds were on the herdsmen’s horses. Running in front of the tent, the children played in front of the tent, a scene of joy.

In an instant, disaster struck, and thousands of Zhao riders were killed by the lake, where the bowstrings rang, and the herdsmen fell from their horses with arrows; The sound of horses' hooves broke the tranquility of Dalai Nuoer, and the sound of killing bursts made Zhao Qi, who made a living by eating rice noodles, also show his hideous fangs.

The young and strong riders of the Donghu people are all in the Rao Leshui area. They never thought that a Zhao State cavalry would appear in the rear, and they were not prepared at all. In addition, there were only more than a thousand fighters who could fight, and the equipment gap was huge. , As soon as they came into contact, they were killed and defeated.

No one will be sympathetic, no one will be soft, even Zhao Jia shows the most cruel side, wearing a ferocious silver mask, she gallops all the way, draws bows and arrows, and shoots Donghu people to the ground, Only when facing a woman with a child in her arms did she hesitate for a moment, the arrow deflected slightly and shot at someone else...

After more than half a day of fierce battle ~www.readwn.com~ the battle ended, the unprepared Donghu people were completely defeated and suffered heavy casualties. On the other hand, Zhao Jun captured nearly ten thousand men and women from the East Hu tribe by the lake, including the number of tribal leaders and 100,000 heads of livestock.

With so many prisoners, Youcheng didn't know what to do for a while. Some people suggested that it would be better to follow the example of Rou Zhi Tu and kill all the prisoners. This was the most convenient method. This regulation is only for the civil wars of the various Xia, the Rong and Di barbarians are not included in the list of mercy!

Seeing that more than 10,000 people are about to die, Zhao Jia came forward and proposed: "Men taller than swords can be killed, but women can stay, and I am willing to guard them here!"

After wearing the mask, Zhao Jia is a skilled female general, but after taking off the mask, she still has a trace of "benevolence of women". She does not prohibit her soldiers from killing people, but there is only one thing, she strictly prohibits ** ****Youcheng agreed to Zhao Jia's proposal after thinking it over and over again, but there were still two or three thousand old people and men who died under the butcher's knife, and the blue Dalai Nuoer instantly turned into a sea of ​​blood.

At the same time, in the upper reaches of Rao Leshui where Yu Xi, the "Flying General of the Dragon City" was once buried, Liuhe, known as the "King of Donghu", didn't know the drastic changes in his rear. Celebrate, feel complacent for annihilating more than a thousand lost chariots of the State of Yan...
