Spring and Autumn I Am King

The beliefs of Donghu people are very primitive. They worship heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, sun, moon, and stars, and they also worship the incarnation of Chishan, the goddess of Chishan. Just as the people in the Central Plains believed that their souls would return to Mount Tai after their death, the people of Donghu also believed that the souls of the former leaders would also gather in Chishan. So every autumn, they would use cattle and sheep to sacrifice to ghosts, gods and ancestors in the temple altar on Chishan Mountain, and burn the cattle and sheep alive after the sacrifice.

Now that it is midsummer, the Donghu people have started their sacrifices ahead of time, with only one purpose, that is, in desperation, they want to beg the gods to come down and help them exterminate the invaders!

However, their wish will eventually come to nothing. The cavalry of the Zhao army is more than two hundred miles deep into this mountain and grassland, and the enemy is right in front of them. Under the orders of Zhao Jia and Xinzhigou, the soldiers did not hesitate to dismount their saddles, put on their armor, and hold shields, knives, swords, and halberds, and rushed up the mountain along the path.

This undulating mountain road that stretches for several miles is very steep, and the mountain wind blows gently, and the gravel kicked off by the foot roll will slide down the cliff, not to mention that all the way along the way are covered in armor, wearing leopard skin, holding hands The Donghu people with double-edged narrow swords stopped him.

As Zhao Jia once said, if they meet on a narrow road, one Zhao can reach Wuhu, and the clear discipline brought by long-term training is far better than the bravery of **** punches. In the cavalry battle, the Donghu people can't get anything cheap, and on this rugged mountain road, they can't compete with the well-ordered Zhao Zu.

However, for the purpose of guarding the temple, they also rushed to Zhao Zu bravely, trying to pull them down together into the bottomless abyss and die together, leaving only an echo of an empty scream.

Donghu's main force is now in Rao Leshui, and there are not many remnants left, and even fewer are willing to stay and guard Chishan. With the orderly advance of Zhao's soldiers, hundreds of people on the mountain road were quickly wiped out. But many places close to the top of the mountain even required hands and feet to climb on the ground. It took Zhao Jun half a day to finally reach the temple on the mountainside.

On the flat ground outside the temple, there are twelve gilded stone figures, each about half a person tall. Looking at the clothes, they should be the ancestors of the Donghu people. Hundreds of thousands of Donghu people are weeping at these golden figures. Continue to prostrate and worship.

Next to each gilded stone man, there is also a huge sheepskin drum. Dozens of majestic Hu men with painted animal faces on their upper bodies are beating drums endlessly with drumsticks. The familiar drum music is completely different, and has the unique rhythm of the grassland people. The faint thunder that Zhao Jun heard at the foot of the mountain is the drum sound.

Gilded stone and twelve-sided drums surround a large circular altar with a roaring bonfire in the center. This bonfire was lit by the shaman of the temple when he learned that the main force of Donghu had lost the battle the day before yesterday. After Liu He died, he built a wooden frame with a thick giant tree, and then filled it with a large amount of flammable firewood and oil. Gao, once it is ignited, it will not go out for ten days, and it is the most blazing moment when it burns.

Beside the bonfire, the oldest of the East Hu shamans, a hunched, scrawny old woman with only one eye left, was dancing wildly. She had strange facial lines drawn with human blood on her face, and her whole body was covered with bright bird feathers. She held her hands high and prayed in Donghu language. Her feet were covered with viscous blood...

After rushing to the outside of the temple to take a closer look, Zhao Jia and Zhao soldiers were angry at the scene. It turned out that the sacrifices tied to the wooden stakes around the altar were not cattle and sheep, but living people, one by one. The vertebra and the right bun are not the people of the city of Yan and Dai!

In addition to the wooden stakes, there are more sacrifices around the circular altar, some of them are dead, and some are being massacred by the Donghu people. Those prisoners who were plundered from Yan and Dai by the Donghu people for several years, after working hard to build a city and a temple for the Donghu people, were **** like livestock and slaughtered as sacrifices! A strong **** aura gushed out, and this rocky land was soaked with blood, and it looked more and more red.

Donghu people believe that only with the most precious human life can the goddess Chishan save them.

Today, however, is destined to be the day of Donghu's demise...

Zhao Jia didn't say a word, she strode forward, opened a bow, and shot an arrow in one go. The arrow was aimed at the witch beside the bonfire, and the arrow was like a meteor chasing the moon, hitting her heart.

The witch let out a scream like a mourning bird and fell down. Those Donghu warriors who were beating drums, those Donghu nobles and herdsmen who were lying on the ground begging for the appearance of the mountain gods, all rushed towards Zhao Jun like crazy, but after the strong bow and strong crossbow and the strong In front of the shield turret, it was like a moth to a flame.

"Kill everyone."

Zhao Jia, who was annoyed that the Donghu people slaughtered the captives as sacrifices, ordered: "Didn't the Donghu people say that human blood can make the goddess Chishan manifest? I will use the blood of her descendants today to drench the head of her goddess, and see who this goddess is. True or false!"

...

When the sun went down, the battle was over, and the entire Chishan Temple seemed to have been watered with blood. The twelve stone figures outside the temple were beheaded by Zhao Jia, who was annoyed and pushed them to the ground. The Donghu people did not wait for the goddess to save them, and became victims along with the slaves they slaughtered.

After slaughtering all the Donghu people outside, Zhao Jia went inside and found that it was filled with utensils such as tripods, scorpions, and beans similar to the bronze ritual vessels of the Central Plains, as well as some small golden figures similar to the gilded stone people outside. They stand side by side, guarding the statue of the goddess Chishan.

This Chishan Goddess statue is very simple. In Zhao Jia's opinion, the appearance is not even as good as the gilded stone people outside. She is life-size, with red face, blue jade inlaid eyes, and a smile that is not a smile at the corners of her mouth. The top of her head was indeed drenched with the blood of a lot of Donghu people by Zhao Jia, but the goddess was indifferent, still like petrified, maintaining a mysterious smile on her face, and said nothing...

Zhao Jia asked the soldiers to take the goddess, along with the golden figures and bronze utensils, down the mountain. They will be the spoils of the expedition and be brought back to Zhao. Then the soldiers burned the entire temple with the embers from the bonfire outside. The raging fire rose up in Chishan, filled with black smoke and could be seen from dozens of miles away.

In addition to Chishan, there were also some Donghu tribes who didn't have time to guard the temple. When they saw this situation from a distance, their faces turned pale, and they began to flee in the opposite direction. Most people fled to the lower reaches of the Liaoshui River in the east, and some people chose to go north to the depths of the Daxing'an Mountains, where the virgin forests are dense and the more barren...

For these Donghu remnants who fled in all directions, Zhao Jun could not continue to pursue them.

Xinzhigou said: "Those remaining hujus can't catch up for the time being. Burning the temple and destroying Chishan City is tantamount to smashing their spines. The rules on the grasslands, the defeated tribe's survivors have no face. Those who continue to use the previous title, the name of Donghu, are afraid that they will disappear in the world."

The next morning, Zhao Jun, together with the surviving Donghu slaves, tore down the walls of the entire city and set fire to all the buildings in the city. Amidst cheers, this short-lived The prairie regime was wiped out like this.

Afterwards, Xinzhigou decided to **** the thousands of Donghu people captured at the foot of Chishan Mountain, together with 100,000 livestock, as well as the gold and silver treasures that the Donghu people plundered in the past few years, to return to the west to end the expedition.

Zhao Jia is no longer the age of a willful little girl, and she also agreed to this plan, but before leaving, she took people up Chishan again, and returned to the ruins of Chishan Temple. Beating and beating on the stone, began to engrave inscriptions...

When the remnants of Donghu fled far away, and Zhao Jun evacuated contentedly, the vast Chishan regained its ancient tranquillity. The only thing left, apart from the ruins on Chishan, was a huge stone inscription with seal characters. Deep into the stone, it was also dyed red with the blood of the Donghu people.

"Last year, the northern captive Donghu jumped off the beam in Yan and Dai, and the townspeople couldn't bear it, so I asked the public to attack him. The public sent the general of Longcheng Yu to attack him. , the army was overwhelmed outside. The Duke was furious and said: 'Those who violate China will be punished even if they are far away', so he commanded the school of Jingqi in the three counties, Zhongliang in Yecheng, and Yulin, and went to the north of Dai. Shocked Loufan, Dai, Tu Hezhi and the monarchs.

The army then approached the secluded land and descended to the Yin Mountain~www.readwn.com~ through the moraine, the vast desert. The Sima of Shangjun said Youcheng, and he first arrived at Haize, beheaded three thousand Hu prisoners, and used golden drums to provoke them. Afterwards, he joined forces with Sima Yue Xuqu in Taiyuan, and Sima Yue Xinzhigo in Daijun, and the Sixth Division crossed the road, leaping over the gravel, and fought with the captive chief named Liuhe in Rao Lezhishui. In this battle, the corpse was buried and bleeding, the enemy was defeated, and the 30,000 captives and cavalry were forced to flee.

Liu He was dead, and the first evil had been executed, but Dong Hu left the ugly and fled to the east, so he replaced the county Sima Xinzhigou, and Zhao Hulou, the superintendent of the school, called Zhao Jia, and chased him away with a light cavalry. , cross Rao Le, to the red bee, see the area of ​​Liuhe. The northern captives were ferocious, and the sky was angry and people were angry, so we slaughtered their cities, burned their shrines, plowed their courtyards, and swept their caves. Since then, the East Hu has been in depression for thousands of miles, and there are no bandits left, but he has been repaid by the **** Hu and the golden man who sacrificed to the sky.

This battle was only a ten-month battle, and then the story of Qi and Huan was revived, and the anger of Yan and the millions of living people was relieved. The descendants of Angu were used to restore the realm and the sound of China, so that there was no more in the north. disaster. This is the so-called one-time effort and long-term relief, temporary expense and eternal peace. Jia was fortunate to have followed the army here, and felt that the war had left him for thousands of years, so he closed the mountain and published the stone, and Zhao Ming Junde.

His speech said: The master of the king of Shuo expeditions from the desolate people, smothers and abuses them and carries them overseas, destroys their courts and stretches the boundaries of the land, seals the Chiqiu and builds a long martial arts, and the prince of Xi is powerful for all generations! "
