sweeping the world

Chapter 734

"Tian Xingjian, the gentleman strives for self-improvement; the terrain is Kun, and the gentleman carries things with virtue."

Ran Min rode lightly on the auxiliary horse and galloped. Zhu Longma untied the saddle and other equipment and followed easily, surrounded by a large group of knights without armor.

They left the grassland from Yanmenguan, first went to Junziji ... that is to say, strolled around Shengle, then turned to Tanhan Mountain for a stroll, and then went to Ruyuan along the Shanbai Ancient Road. When they arrived at Ruyuan, they went straight north. Sweeping along the way for more than [-] miles to the north, I found some tribes that did not distribute nomadic tokens from the Han Dynasty, and I had a lot of fun.

A thousand cavalrymen, together with Ran Min and a hundred entourages, made a total of [-] people. Within two months, they cut off three or four thousand heads across the grasslands, adding nearly [-] more to the Han Kingdom. Numerous slaves, cattle, horses, sheep and supplies were seized.

The prisoners and captures were arranged to be sent to their own garrison point, and the captured heads had been registered and handed over. The number of them was reduced to 960, but Ran Min led everyone into Rouran territory.

"I will have the determination to improve myself, but I don't believe in virtue at all."

Ran Min shouted loudly, and all the knights burst into laughter.

Watching this group of Han people galloping, there are less than a thousand people but nearly [-] horses. What is evil is that some of the heads are tied up with ropes and hung densely, and some heads are even shriveled.Needless to say, the head is obtained after entering Rouran territory.

The grassland is very large, and it is difficult to recognize where you are without obvious landmarks. Ran Min and the others knew that they had entered the territory of Rouran, but they still ran into the Rouran tribe who were grazing.

The misunderstanding did not happen. Which veteran leader would not send scouts to guard the surrounding area. The scouts must have been discovered earlier than the headquarters. Ran Min still chose to launch an attack knowing that it was the Rouran tribe.The Rouran people angrily accused the Han army of attacking after breaking through the camp of the small tribe, and he hypocritically explained that they hit the wrong person.Then?Then there is no more.

If you make a mistake, you make a mistake. The beaten Rouran tribe can't beat Ran Min. Waiting for Ran Min to run away with the stolen things, no matter how many Rouran people die, they will die in vain. Even the Rouran Khan Court Protesting to the Han Dynasty basically won't get any compensation.

In fact, the Rouran tribe packed up and moved immediately after being beaten, and they didn't even report to the Rouran Khan Court.The prairie people know the difference between the strong and the weak. It is useless to be beaten and complained. If they really report to the Khan Court, the tribes that have suffered serious losses will not get any justice and will be forced to merge with other tribes. Time will be worse.

Ran Min and the others not only attacked a Rouran tribe, but on the way to the west, when they were short of supplies, they would find a Rouran tribe who could do it, and they were able to succeed every time.

After repeated successes, they asked the Rouran people and learned that no one warned them at all. This is normal for a tribe, but it is too weird for every tribe. They guessed that the tribe that was robbed ran away cleanly. No one was notified.

They kept heading west until they saw Junji Mountain, and the scouts behind reported that there was an army approaching. Needless to say, as long as they were behind them, there was really no one except Rouran.

Junji Mountain is located in the northern part of the northwest of the Han Dynasty. It can be regarded as Outer Mongolia in terms of modern geographical location, but it is now the territory of the Han Dynasty.

The Han Dynasty set up a school lieutenant department in Junji Mountain to station troops for a long time, and a large number of people approached from Rouran.

"The troops at the front are friendly troops, and the nearly [-] riders at the rear are Rouran people."

"The people of Rouran have the guts to approach Han soil?"

Of course, the school lieutenant is the chief officer of the school lieutenant department, and Dou'a is the chief officer of the school lieutenant department.He assembled his troops and warned the rear, but he didn't know which department the friendly troops in front belonged to.

"The big man didn't declare war on Rouran, why did the friendly army come from Rouran?"

They are all experienced people, and they can see that the Rouran people with more than [-] riders are chasing them. It can be seen that those friendly troops have done something to provoke the Rouran people, otherwise the Rouran people would not dare to gather their hands to approach Han territory.

Speaking of which, Ran Min didn't fly his own banner, the common Han army banner was flying in the team.They acted recklessly in Rouran territory and attacked many tribes, no matter how slow the Rouran Khan Court's reaction was, they should have noticed the clues.

When Rouran Khanting learned that the Han army was looting and killing people in their own territory, the first moment they heard the news was not anger. In fact, most people were scared to pee.It was not easy for them to collect a lot of news, and they were sure that there were only a thousand of the Han army, and there was no sign of mass gathering of troops on the edge of the Han border. They were sure that the Han country had no intention of going to war. He had no face and couldn't do nothing, so he waited until Ran Min was about to approach Junji Mountain before sending Rouran cavalry to pursue him.

Rouran is the new overlord who succeeded the Xianbei people in the grassland, but this overlord is not at the same level as the previous Xianbei, let alone the Xiongnu who were once prosperous.Their territory is probably later generations of Outer Mongolia, part of Central Siberia in Russia, and the Outer Baikal Territory. According to the geographical name of Zhuxia in ancient times, it is in Mobei.

The relationship between Han and Rouran is relatively friendly. The main reason is that the Han army swept the seemingly powerful Tuobadai and Murongyan kingdoms, which frightened the contemporary Rouran Khan Yu Jiulubati and made them extremely afraid of the Han army's attack. powerful.

Furthermore, the remnants of Tuoba and Murong retreated to the Xianbei Grassland (east of Lake Baikal), posing a serious threat to the east of Rouran, and Xigaoche and Donggaoche also surrounded Rouran, forcing Rouran to dare not provoke Han Dynasty.

Since Xie Ai led the army to defeat Rouran, Yu Jiulubati issued strict orders to all the ministries not to take the initiative to provoke the Han Dynasty. The characteristics of the nomadic people also determine that the tribes will not listen to the words of the Khan Court. Naturally, some tribes provoke the Han Kingdom. The frontier army, even if they go to provoke, the end is very bad, and even their own tribe will be harvested. Only after a painful lesson can they realize that the strong cannot be bullied, and become quite sensible.

The sensibility of the Rouran people has been rewarded. In fact, it is Han Guo who hopes that the Rouran people can better find Ding Lingren (the East and West Gaoche belong to Ding Lingren) and the two remnants of Xianbei. Rouran people can find Han Guo to purchase ordnance.

As far as the technology of the nomads is concerned, the armaments of the Han Dynasty are naturally extremely useful. Facing Xigaoche, Donggaoche, Tuoba remnants, and Murong remnants, Rouran finally withstood the military pressure with a weak population. When you come to Han, you will be more humble and patient.

Dou's judgment is that his own people have offended the Rouran people. In the past two years, no large army of the Rouran people has ever approached the border of the Han Kingdom. That is, the Han army's revenge was quite fierce.

The garrison of the Junjishan Colonel's Department entered Rouran many times to carry out retaliatory strikes, and Rouran maintained the greatest patience.Since the Han State had no intention of launching a general invasion of Rouran, it would withdraw every time it entered, and the two sides maintained maximum restraint.

"Two years have passed..." Dou'a naturally rode on his horse, looking at the two black shadows of the army galloping in the distance: "This is the first time."

It wasn't until the scouts sent by Dou'a to contact him came back that he knew that the friendly army was directly led by Hussar General Ran Min, and he also had a rough idea of ​​what Ran Min and others were doing in Rouran.

"As expected of General Hussars." Chang Shi Zhang Hao slapped his forehead and said speechlessly, "Except for Generals Hussars, no one would do such a thing."

Han Guo didn't take Rouran seriously. Even if Rouran was still useful, Han Guo wouldn't bully Rouran too much. The problem is that Ran Min really went too far this time.

There have been frequent snowstorms in the past few years in the north of Mobei, and the white disasters on the grassland have forced the tribes in the north to migrate southward, and the tribes in the south were squeezed by the tribes from the north and had to go further south. During the migration, the various tribes belonging to the same alliance continued to fight and fight, and naturally the forces of different alliances inevitably broke out in bloody battles due to the competition for living space.

Since the eighth year of Yuanshuo, the blizzards on the grassland have not been so intense and frequent, but the weather has not become warmer either.For example, there are already signs of drought in the northwestern part of the Han Kingdom and northern Xinjiang, but the grasslands should continue to snow, especially the snowfall on the grasslands in northern Vietnam is not small at all, but the environment in the south is slightly better. So a little bit.

The territory of Xigaoche and Donggaoche is quite close to the Arctic Circle, and the bad weather forced them to migrate south.

The geographical location of Xigao Che was doomed. Either they chose the position occupied by Han, or they had to attack Rouran, but they attacked Han and Rouran at the same time.

Donggaoche is not as good as Xigaoche. After Tuoba remnant and Murong remnant tribe moved northward, they were too busy to take care of themselves. Even Rouran took the opportunity to go north to cut off the threat (actually want to rob), and they were completely powerless to go south.

Under this general situation, Han has no reason to find Rouran to be uncomfortable. Ran Min entered Rouran this time to act recklessly. Without the permission of the central government, it is really not what a Hussar general should do. thing.

"We didn't know the intention of the center." What can Doua do now?He could only lead the troops forward slowly: "Go and warn the Rouran people. If they approach the Han territory within five miles, it will be regarded as a war against the big man."

Without waiting for the people sent by Dou'a to warn, the Rouran people took the initiative to stop about ten miles away from the Han territory, but they also sent people to the Han army.

Before the Rouran people arrived, Dou'a led his troops to join Ran Min and the others, and it was only natural that the leaders of Junjishan's captain's department took the initiative to meet Ran Min.After a brief conversation, the two sides also confirmed that Ran Min had the legal procedures for sending troops, and it was even more confirmed that Ran Min did not have the relevant official documents and tiger charms to command Junjishan's lieutenant's department.

"It's nothing, it's just that too many Rouran tribes have crossed the border to graze, and they have learned the lessons they deserve." Ran Min didn't care whether others believed it or not, anyway he believed it: "This hussars led all the soldiers to defend the territory, go to Rouran However, I taught those ignorant guys a little lesson."

Dou'a and Zhang Hao could only look at each other in silence, both in the helpless mood of "Ran Min is the Hussar General, so the Hussar General will do whatever he says".

The Han Dynasty had the habit of setting up a school and lieutenant department in Jimi District.This habit is actually left over from the early Han Dynasty. The geographical location determines the number of garrisons in a certain captain's department. Like the Pingman Captain's Department, which is the frontier base of a large-scale war, there must be many garrisons, such as the Junji Mountain Captain's Department. There are relatively few places of this defensive nature, each with different specifications.

In terms of low rank, the captains of a certain area are much higher than ordinary captains, that is to say, captains with special prefixes are basically superior. General Lang, it was decided by the military and political power at the same time.

The Rouran people realized that they had stopped ten miles away from the Han border, and the people they sent to the Han army were quickly received.Naturally, direct negotiation could not be conducted by outsiders. Instead, the person in charge of the Han army was invited to talk in the open space between the two armies.

Naturally, Ran Min would not come forward, not because he was guilty or something, but simply thought that he was a majestic hussar general, and if he wanted to negotiate, only the Khan from Rouran was qualified to come forward, and the rest were not allowed at all. His eligibility to play.

Dou A, who came forward to negotiate, had no special thoughts on the complaints from the Rouran people. What he insisted was that the Han army was operating in his own territory. .

In many cases in the world, there is no reason to talk about at all, all you see is whether the fist is big or not.It is very realistic that the fist of the Han State is bigger than that of the Rouran people. Even if the people of Rouran do not admit the things that the Han army insists on, the facts that the Han army believes will definitely be truer than the facts.

"It's too much! They (referring to Ran Min) once approached Tianshan (Khan Court), so Tianshan has also become the territory of Han!?"

"...? Getting lost, that's completely lost! There are no obvious landmarks, and you didn't send anyone to negotiate. It's normal to get lost."

"You Han people are too domineering!"

"No matter what, we Han people are the most reasonable."

Well!The Han people are indeed very reasonable, that is, the reasoning should be recognized by the Han people, otherwise it is not reasonable.

Power equals justice, strength equals truth, and "reason" is on the side of the Han people, and the Rouran people have no determination to fight to the death.

The Rouran people withdrew their troops, and the Han army also retreated to Junji Mountain, but the matter was definitely not over yet.

"General, the final general can only report the truth to the present and the Taiwei's mansion."

"Report, report as you want, report as you want."

Dou Ah made eye contact with Zhang Hao again.

"General..." Dou'a was more or less expectant: "The big man...is he going to attack Rouran?"

"Nothing." Ran Min waved his hands casually: "Ben Hushi went out of Yanmen to the north, patrolling all the way, thinking about saying hello to Rouran, it's not a big deal."

Dou Ah realizes that his IQ is not enough.

"Everything needs to be explained clearly by Ben Hussar? That is an inevitable beating." Ran Min said as if speaking the truth: "If you have a dog, you need to beat it from time to time, so as to prevent the dog from biting back. This general wants Once I walked to the northwest, I went there and beat him up, understand?"

Now Dou'a and Zhang Hao were taken aback, and Xie An led his troops to fight in Xiqiang Mountain. Did the center dispatch Ran Min, a big killer, to sit in the northwest?
