Huan Rong

After leaving Xiangyang City, Qin Jing led the army to Luozhou, went north along the east, Pingyang, Taiyuan, Xinxing, Dingxiang and other counties, and went straight to Yanmen.It is planned to join the state soldiers led by Qin Jiu to jointly defend Gaoche and the Wusun coalition forces.

Since the thieves knocked on the side, Monan's horn has never stopped.

Whether it is harassment by rangers or invitation to fight by the army, the Qin soldiers guarding the border have no fear at all.

The car has no retreat meter, and the drum has no retreat sound.

The defenders fought fiercely with the invading enemy day and night. They were seriously injured and could not be rescued.

In July and August, the corpses of Hu Qi and defenders were piled up in the city.

Those with robes could still enter the ground, but if all the defenders died in battle, the Wubao was engulfed by fire, and the corpses had no time to restrain themselves, and could only be swallowed by wild beasts.

After the great battle, there will be crows hovering high in the sky, perched on the broken gun shaft, and making piercing calls.

At night, faint green light flickers in the grassland, and shrill howls come and go.Even Mobei warriors who are used to prairie wolves will not walk out of the camp alone and face unknown dangers alone.

On the day when Qin Jing led the army to arrive, Qin Jiu had just led his troops out of the city to wipe out a group of 200 high-carriage cavalry, captured the spies leading the way for the cavalry, tied their hands and feet, and dragged them behind the horses all the way.

The spy was still able to support at first, and ran with all his strength, trying not to be dragged down by the galloping horse.

With a few clear whips, the war horse spread its hooves and accelerated.

The spy couldn't hold on any longer, fell to the ground by the rope in his hand, and dragged all the way to the city gate, his short robe turned into rags, and his whole body was dripping with blood.Especially in the front chest and thighs, there is no good piece of meat to be found at all, and all of them have been ground to pieces.

This move is cruel, but it really relieves people.

Thinking of the comrades who died in the battle, thinking of the relatives who died at the hands of the bandits, no matter whether Qin soldiers or border people, no one showed any mercy. I just felt that the general was not cruel enough to chop this person into pieces!

"You and I are sheep slaves of the Di people. We didn't send troops from the official family, and we still live in the sheepfold!"

"The official is kind enough to allow me to open up wasteland and do business. As long as I pay taxes honestly, I can become a Baiji!"

"You led the way for the Gaoche thief and slaughtered the border village that took you in?!"

"Beasts know how to repay kindness, but you are worse than animals!"

There are both Han people and miscellaneous Hus in Yanmen County.

The two sides lived next to each other, opened up wasteland and farmed fields, organized teams to sell furs in counties and cities, and bought food from caravans. Over time, they influenced each other in living customs and gradually began to intermarry.

This time when the Gaoche and Wusun armies came to attack, the enemy was outnumbered, and many frontier democrats volunteered to join the army. All the young and strong took up arms to help the defenders repel the enemy.

Regardless of the Han people or the miscellaneous Hu, in order to protect their homeland, they will spare their lives.

At this moment, there is no distinction between Han and Hu, only the enemies outside the city and the relatives of Paozhe inside the city.

Who would have expected that when all the people were united and desperate to repel the incoming enemy, some wolves would go out of the city to join the enemy for profit, lead the way for the rangers, bypass the defenders, and enter the border villages to burn, kill and loot.

All the men in the village were killed, and the children were not spared either.

Most of the women were taken away, and those who refused to submit were directly pierced by spears and held at the entrance of the village.

When the defenders saw the thick smoke, they rushed over at a gallop, and the tragedy had already happened, and the scene was so miserable that it was unbearable to watch.

Miraculously, a pair of brother and sister were hidden by their mother in the cellar with a pottery vat on it, but Hu Qi was lucky enough not to find it.After the siblings were rescued, they couldn't speak for a long time, they just hugged each other and shivered.

Back in the border town, after several days, the older child finally spoke out, and the first sentence was to point out the internal thieves and spies who led the troops for Hu Kou.

"I recognize him, even if he is burned to ashes!"

Zhizi's voice was hoarse, his eyes were bloodshot, his fists were clenched, and his face was filled with hatred that couldn't be concealed.

"I want to kill him with my own hands, avenge my father and mother, and the whole village!"

In troubled times, life and death are commonplace.

However, hearing the child's words, all the people present felt sad.

Qin Jiu got the report, and sent three waves of scouts in a row, and finally found the cavalry that sneaked into Yanmen.After arranging all the affairs in the city, he personally led the troops to attack. After several confrontations, the 200-man team was blocked in a desperate situation, and all arrows were fired to wipe them out completely.

The life of the thief was so high that he was not shot to death by random arrows.

When Qin Bing was cleaning the battlefield, he was found out from the corpse team and his identity was ascertained. Instead of killing him on the spot, he was tied behind his horse and dealt with according to the rules of the frontier.

In this way, there was the previous scene.

"We can't let him die like this!"

"Yes, hang him up, right in front of the city!"

Qin Jiu grabbed the reins, and immediately someone stepped forward to cut the rope.

The border residents rushed forward, grabbed the spies who were limp on the ground, hung them on wooden poles outside the city, and exposed them to the sun.

During this period, several crows flew over one after another and stopped on the wooden pole, as if they were waiting for this person to die.

On the several wooden poles adjacent to it, five or six corpses had already been hung, some of which had become dry bones, and some had just begun to rot.Without exception, they were all internal thieves and spies who went out of the city to join the thieves and were caught by the defenders and border residents.

Qin Jiu got off his horse and was about to take off his helmet when he heard the sound of horns.

Everyone shuddered at the same time, thinking it was an enemy attack.

Hastily boarded the top of the city, but saw the soldiers pointing to the south, excitedly said: "It's Khan... the Xuanqi of the official family!"

The soldiers were so excited that they almost said the word "King Khan".

"Official?"

Qin Jiu was equally excited, looking into the distance, he saw a big banner with high teeth and banners covering the sun.The black cavalry was galloping towards the county town like a torrent.

The horn sounded again, and the cavalry drew closer.

The horse's hooves rumbled, sending dust all over the sky.

The five-element flag roared fiercely, becoming more and more eye-catching in the team.

Recognizing the black figure in front of the team, Qin Jiu was overjoyed, ordered the city leaders to beat the drums, opened the city gate, walked down the city wall quickly, and greeted him outside the city.

When brothers meet, there are not many pleasantries.

Qin Jing got off his horse and asked about the battle situation in Yanmen area. He learned that a band of thieves with 3000 men was approaching. The scouts had already found the trail of the cavalry. Without taking a break, he jumped on his horse again and made people blow the horn.

"Brother, stay in the city and wait for the sound of my triumph."

After saying that, Qin Jing grabbed the spear and lightly kicked the horse's belly with his heel.

The war horse neighed, and immediately spread its four hooves, and the horse's belly stuck to the ground and went away.

Two black dots appeared in the sky, passing through the clouds one after the other, circling around the top of the city, and followed the army.

Qin Jiu looked up and couldn't help laughing: "It's Ah Hei and Ah Jin. I haven't seen you for a long time, but they have grown so big."

As if in response to his words, two loud eagle cries sounded one after another, piercing through the horn, tearing apart the sound of drums, and hitting the sky directly, as if announcing that a big battle was coming.

The imperial conquest, more than ten thousand cavalry swept Monan.

There are mainly two Gaoche tribes who went south to Yanmen, one of them is descended from the Huns, and their ancestors were the nobles of the Huns.After being defeated by the Di people, all his troops fled to Mobei, first returned to Rouran, then returned to Gaoche, and kept gathering the remnants of the Huns and Xianbei, becoming a force that cannot be underestimated on the grassland.

Thanks to the help of counselors, the army did not encounter too many obstacles after going south.He also successfully ambushed the Yanmen prefect before, and achieved a lot of success, which made him very popular.

The tribal leader adopted the counselor's advice, used various means to bribe and intimidate, and found several "leaders" one after another.

Someone led the way, and the army avoided the scouts sent by Qin Jiu several times, not to mention the cavalry sent by Qin Jue and Qin Yu.Singing and marching all the way, approaching Yanmen County, only to besiege the county city after a rest.

Thinking of the benefits to be gained after the war, from the tribal leaders down to the tribal warriors, they are all gearing up and eager to try.Talking and laughing are always food, gold and silver, silk cloth and beauties of the Han family, and their eyes are full of naked greed.

Unexpectedly, man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation, half of the dream is realized, and suddenly thunder falls from the sky.

The spies sent galloped back to the camp, and rolled off their horses in embarrassment, their faces pale as paper, with a feathered arrow sticking out of their shoulders.

"Qin's army is over ten thousand! The leader of the army is the Emperor of Qin!"

After saying the last word, the spy rolled his eyes and passed out.His breath was weak, and it was obvious that he couldn't be saved.

The tribal leader was discussing matters in his tent, and when he heard the report, his heart sank.

The counselor pondered for a moment, then his expression suddenly changed, and he said loudly, "Not good!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Ligu, the Qin thieves are probably letting the warriors back to camp on purpose!"

"what?!"

The leader was shocked, and after the counselor explained, his face became even uglier.

Indeed, there were no less than 30 scouts sent out, and in the end, only this one came back, which is a bit strange.

He has not met Qin Jing face to face, but he has heard of the other party's name.If this God of Killing is in charge, how could he make such a mistake and let the enemy's scouts run back to deliver the letter!

The only explanation is that the other party deliberately let the person go, in order to let this person lead the way and find the Gaoche camp without any effort!

"Come here, send an order to go down, abandon the tent and all the luggage, leave the camp, and retreat westward quickly!"

The camp is built adjacent to the river, with a very wide view.

The river has dried up, leaving only a dry and cracked riverbed and a few fish bones.

If the comer is a pawn, your side still has an advantage.But the leader of Gaoche knew very well that more than [-]% of Qin Jing's men were cavalry, who had been fighting for several years and were well-known in the Monan grassland.

In terms of elites, I'm afraid I can't compare.In terms of quantity, they are outnumbered, and there is not much chance of winning.

For the current plan, the only option is to give up the plan to attack Yanmen County, flee west as quickly as possible, and join Wusun's army.

If he still can't resist, with the Wusun people in the back, he can always preserve his strength, so that he can fight again in the future.

It wasn't that the leader of Gaoche wanted others to destroy his prestige, but Qin Jing's reputation was too great, and his record in the Monan Grassland was too brilliant, which was really dreadful.

What's more, the opponent has many soldiers and many generals, and the strength of the opponent is several times that of his own. There is only one dead end in a hasty fight.

In this case, it is a fool not to run away!

With an order from the leader of Gao Che, the tribe abandoned the half-built camp, and discarded all the baggage that affected the speed.Except for the gold and silver that was really reluctant to part with, the people who had been plundered recently and the livestock that had been plundered were all left behind.

Before getting on the horse, a man from Gaoche smirked and swung a knife, killed several sheep slaves, and raised his head to howl like wolves, obviously to attract wild animals.

Its nature is cruel, its heart is sinister, and it is heinous.

"Move faster, don't waste time, get on the horse!"

Some corporal leaders rode past, urging those who did it.

The captive Han people leaned against Zahu and glared at the Gaoche man who raised his knife.

If it wasn't for the hands and feet being tied tightly, and the end of the rope tied to the fence, if it wasn't for the wounds on the body, they really have no strength, even if they bite with their teeth, they would have to bite off a few pieces of flesh from the thief.

Not long after the sound of horseshoes of the cavalry in high chariots was gone, the sound of desolate horns resounded across the grassland.

The black torrent swept across, seeing the familiar five-element flag, facing the border residents whose long knives did not change color, couldn't help but shed tears on the spot.

"His Majesty!"

"The official is here!"

As the army passed by, all the tents left by the Gaoche people were razed.

The injured border residents were taken down to be bandaged, and those who still had strength volunteered to lead the way for the army.

"The servant understands some Xiongnu language. I heard that they are going west. There is an army of Wusun over there."

Qin Jing made a decisive decision, leaving 200 people to pack up the camp and escort the captured border residents back to Yanmen County. The army continued to set off, chasing after the three thousand Gaoche people.

噍——

The goshawk and golden eagle flew into the distance, and soon disappeared without a trace.

In less than a quarter of an hour, it flew back and forth again, as if guiding the direction for the army.

Qin Jing raised his left arm to catch the flying goshawk.Seeing the blood stains on the eagle's claws, he even grabbed a strip of cloth, and immediately said: "Catch up with the Gao Che man, no prisoners of war will be left, and all the gains will belong to the individual."

Hearing this order, Hu Qi, who had swept across Monan with Qin Jing, was especially excited. He suddenly pulled up the reins and let out howls of excitement.

The three-thousand-car man galloped westward, showing the strength of breastfeeding.However, Qin Bing pursued closely, and vowed not to give up until these 3000 people were wiped out by the sword.

After running from noon to sunset, Gaocheren was finally caught up.

In a panic, when he saw the torches fired by Qin Bing, he was already frightened.Turning the horse's head hastily to meet the battle, how can it be the opponent of tens of thousands of tigers and wolves.

In just one charge, 3000 people were scattered and gradually divided and surrounded, like fish on a chopping board, they could only be slaughtered by their opponents.

In the chaos, many high chariot cavalry fell from their horses.

The soldiers did not die in the hands of Qin soldiers, but died under the horseshoes of the same robes.

Qin Jing let go of the reins, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and swung his spear across, as if directed by his arms.The whole person seems to be integrated with the weapon, where the horse's hoof passes, the invincible soldiers can block it.

Even though the two leaders worked together, they couldn't block the cold light.

Seeing that the situation was not good, one of the leaders wanted to turn around and run away.Just turning the horse's head, there was a chill in his chest, the next moment, the whole person was provoked by the spear, his eyes turned upside down, two mouthfuls of blood were coughed out of his mouth, and he died on the spot.

The leader died in battle, the dragons had no leader, and the chariot cavalry suddenly became a mess.

The soldiers of Qin rushed from left to right, as if entering a land without people, killing cattle and sheep.

On the verge of desperation, realizing that Qin Bing did not intend to keep prisoners of war, the Gaoche people who were still alive suddenly broke out and rushed to kill Qin Bing, causing a lot of trouble for Qin Bing.

"Fire arrows."

Qin Jing withdrew the spear, allowing the blood to wrap around the barrel and drip from the tip of the spear.

The soldiers took the lead, cooperated with each other, and squeezed the Gaoche people into one place by virtue of their strength.Hearing the sound of the drum, he immediately rode his horse back.

Before the Gao Che people could react, the sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded, and arrows rained down from the sky.

The last thing everyone saw was the flashing crossbow arrows; the last thing they felt was the sharp pain from the wound; the last thing they heard was the clear sound of bones breaking when they fell off the horse's back.

After three rounds of arrow rain, everything returned to silence.

"Clear the battlefield and leave no one alive."

At dawn, the disease was unavoidable, and the dead cavalrymen were piled up and set on fire.

Qin Bing cleaned up the battlefield and found that the Gaoche people had a lot of gold and silver ornaments, and some had beast totems tattooed on their shoulders, apparently still retaining the habits of the Huns.

After a short rest, the horn sounded, and the army mounted their horses again and galloped westward.

This time, Qin Jing's target was the Wusun army.

Judging from the information obtained, Wusun and Gaoche intend to besiege Shuofang on a large scale.

If you want to completely solve this border problem, the final battlefield is Shuofang!

When Qin Jing led his troops to sweep the north, Huan Rong returned to Jiankang, and it was also not easy.State affairs are one aspect, the young Yuan Feng who grew up, and Huan Wei and Huan Xuan, who clamored to go to sea, caused him even more headaches.

Furthermore, after discussing with Princess Nankang, Huan Rong planned to make early preparations, select the heir to the throne from among his nephews, and train them in advance.

He is optimistic about several targets and is always ready to "start".

Unexpectedly, when sending a private message, it either goes nowhere, or hits a wall.

Huan Si said: "The crown prince is of great importance, how can he be so negligent?"

On the surface, it reminds the emperor to be cautious and act cautiously.In fact, it is implying that his son can't bear the heavy responsibility, so let's forget it.

Huan Shiqian led the army outside, and his words were a little straightforward: he knew that his son would only be able to lead the army in the future, and he would not be able to govern the country.Your Majesty should stop thinking about it.

Huan Shixiu is more direct: he has a son, but he won't give it to him.

Huan Shimin wrote back and said: Your Majesty has remembered wrongly. He has been married for several years and has only two daughters and no son.

Huan Qian, Huan Xiu, Huan Shikang...

After reading the replies one by one, Huan Rong was speechless for a while.

Was it the wrong way for him to write the letter, or the wrong way for the other party to reply to the letter? It's obviously not a bad thing, so why do they avoid each of them in fear?

Thinking back to Sima Huan back then, Huan Rong became more and more confused.

Such a stark contrast, could it be a family gene mutation?
