Huan Rong

Qifu Xianbei is a relatively powerful branch of the six tribes of Xianbei, also known as Longxi Xianbei. It is a Xianbei tribe that merged with Gaoche people.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the Xianbei tribes took advantage of the war in the Central Plains and moved southward, entering the Gaopingchuan area with abundant water and grass.

Afterwards, the Qifu tribe clashed with the Lujie tribe. After many battles, the latter lost to Lueyang, and the neighboring nomadic tribes were overwhelmed by the strength of the Qifu tribe, and they became attached to and merged one after another. During the Western Jin Dynasty, the Qifu Xianbei tribe gradually flourished , reaching more than [-] at most.

With the rise of Murong Xianbei and the Di people, the nomadic areas of the Qifu tribe continued to be compressed, and the good days gradually faded away.

After several consecutive attacks, the Qifu tribe was completely defeated by the Murong tribe, and they did not dare to easily set foot in the territory of Yan State. After a joint discussion within the tribe, all the people moved to join the Di people.

If you don't take refuge, you will die, or you will be expelled from China.

Accustomed to the prosperity of the Central Plains, who would be willing to live the bitter life of their ancestors again?

The timing of Qifu Xianbei's defection was very coincidental, just as Fu Jian launched a mutiny and forced Fu Sheng to abdicate.

The leader, Qifu Sifan, saw the timing and firmly stood by Fu Jian's side, winning Fu Jian's trust.After the success of the mutiny, the Qifu tribe was able to stay in the territory of Qin State, looking for pastures to graze.

However, Fu Jian did not trust them absolutely.

After the regime was stabilized, Qifu Sifan was granted the title of Nan Shanyu and moved to live in Chang'an.The aristocratic leaders in the tribe were divided and scattered, and they moved to Pingyang, Hedong, Hongnong and other counties with their tribes.

More than [-] Qifu Xianbei were split up. Although the distance was not far away, they could no longer pose a real threat to the Di people.

If Murong Xianbei and Qin's Wubao attack, these begging Xianbei nomadic in the "border" will bear the brunt and become the target of the attacker.

If you win, you will save the trouble of Di people.

If they lose, they will also buy time for the Di people, dispatch troops calmly, and repel the enemies who will commit crimes in the future.

Qifu Xianbei knew Fu Jian's plan, but he was helpless.

If you rely on other people's territory to eat, you must be prepared to be squeezed.

Compared with Murong Xianbei's extermination, at least Fu Jian has more face, he will not kill donkeys, break them up and eradicate them one by one, and then annex the tribe's gold, silver, cattle and sheep, and kidnap the tribe's women and children.

The Hedong County, which Qin Jing planned to attack, was garrisoned by two nomadic tribes, Qifu and Siyin from Qifu Xianbei.

The two ministries had also participated in the internal strife before, relying on their strong troops and horses, they had a clear advantage and robbed many cattle, sheep and women.

However, before they were happy, Fu Jian conscripted troops to attack Yan twice, and met Murong Chui who was able to fight. Most of the tribal warriors who participated in the battle were killed or injured.

It's not that begging Xianbei's warriors can't fight, but that Murong Xianbei regards begging as an enemy.

The enemy was extremely jealous when they met, Diren and Qifu Xianbei lined up in battle, and when they charged, Murong Xianbei's blade definitely swept towards the latter without any hesitation.

After the truce between Qin and Yan, Qifu Xianbei thought he could lick his wounds for a while and restore the tribe's population.Unexpectedly, the Jin Dynasty led another [-] troops to start the Northern Expedition!

Knowing that the goal of the Jin Dynasty was Yan State, Qifu Xianbei also celebrated inside.

"Yes, you deserve it!"

Unexpectedly, Murong Xianbei had lost consecutive battles, so he asked the Di people for help at all costs.

Fu Jian adopted Wang Meng's suggestion and wanted to take advantage of the fire to loot.

Due to the strong opposition from courtiers and aristocrats, the process of conscription was not smooth, so Wang Meng offered another trick, simply recruiting young men from Qifu Xianbei!

After several changes, the number of begging Xianbei households has been greatly reduced, with less than 45 at full count, and only [-]% of the men are over [-] and under [-], and the rest are mostly women, children and elderly people over fifty.

Chang'an's troop dispatching order was issued, and Xianbei was begged to fry the pot immediately.

There are 4 people, and only [-] are young and strong.The imperial court asked for [-] yuan, leaving the old and weak women and children in the tribe, wouldn't they be bullied to death by others!

However, they had no confidence to disobey Fu Jian's order.

When there were 7 people, they couldn't beat the Di people, but now they are only [-]. How can they go head-to-head with the Di people?Purely courting death!

There was really no way, the tribal leader called the nobles to discuss again.

Everyone sat around in the tent, their faces were full of sorrow, their teeth were gritted, and they had no choice but to respond to the order.

"Fu Jian bullied me too much!"

"I think back then, if we didn't stand up, he could sit on the throne safely?!"

"It's better now, break us up first, and continue to recruit soldiers. When the men die, everything in the tribe will be theirs!"

"hateful!"

"Boss, what should I do?"

"It's better to do the opposite!"

"Anyway, I can't live on. Could it be that I'm going to die?"

"It's a big deal to go back to the north!"

"The ancestors can live, there is no reason we can't!"

"Look, the people of Jin did not destroy the country of Yan, and the people of Di and the Murong family will die sooner or later. When the time comes, it may be our chance!"

"Leader, let's decide!"

"Yes, leader, we all listen to you!"

In order to ensure smooth conscription, Fu Jian released Si Fan, the begging leader, from Chang'an.

Wang Meng firmly opposed this decision.It's a pity that Fu Jian committed the problem of "benevolence and righteousness" again, and he didn't accept his opinion at all.

Wang Meng really had no choice but to watch Qifu Sifan leave Chang'an, and thought in his heart: This person can endure what others can't bear, if he doesn't get rid of it as soon as possible, he will become a serious disaster in the future!

Qifu Sifan returned to the tribe, immediately found his uncle who was in charge of the tribe, and invited two generals to discuss the matter of sending troops.Afterwards, the noble leaders were summoned to listen to the opinions of the people.

Begging Xianbei was dissatisfied with the oppression of the Di people for a long time, everyone sat in the tent, you said something to each other, but most of them were in favor of rebellion and northward migration.

"Boss, don't hesitate anymore!" Qi Fuchi said in a pan, "The Di people clearly want us to die, and if their wish is fulfilled, the 4 of us will have no way out!"

"Uncle, when I left Chang'an, I heard some news," Qi Fu Sifan sat cross-legged, his tough face flickering under the light of the fire, "The Di people sent troops not to rescue Murong, but to seize Jingzhou!"

"what?!"

"how can that be?"

"That's right, it's just to rob Jingzhou!" Qifu Sifan said in a serious voice, "Fu Jian didn't communicate with those Di nobles in advance, so they didn't want to send troops. Maybe it was because of their defense that they found others."

"The leader thinks this is an opportunity?"

"Yes!" Qifu Sifan clenched his fists and said with a ferocious smile, "The Murong family wanted to kill Qifu, but King Fu Jian looked at me like pigs and dogs. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Why don't we borrow the power of the Di people to do it for us?" The tribes are fighting for a place to live!"

"Fu Jian will agree?" Qi Fuchi asked.

"We sent [-] troops, and we took [-]!" Qifu Sifan raised his right arm and hit the ground with a heavy blow, "Fu Jian wants Jingzhou, which is close to Yuzhou, where Murong Xianbei's King Wu is entrenched, and he obviously doesn't listen. Order from Yecheng."

"When Jingzhou is occupied, I will immediately send someone to contact Murong Chui. At worst, I will give up some gold and silver, and send some beauties, cattle and sheep. As long as the other party is willing to join forces, it doesn't matter whether it is Chang'an or Yecheng. Don't think about forcing me to do anything. round!"

The reason for this idea was inspired by Qin's Wubao.

Qifu Sifan is a shrewd mind and dares to think, instead of giving in, it is better to fight for a way out in a dead situation!

It's a pity that he couldn't figure it out after thousands of calculations. The Wubao of the Qin family, whom he regarded as a role model, was making his own ideas.Just waiting for the Qin State to send troops, it is necessary to send troops to Hedong to completely wipe out the Qifu Department.

After listening to Qifu Sifan's words, everyone's eyes flashed.

Begging Fu Chipan hesitated a little, but was quickly persuaded by his nephew, who nodded in agreement with this plan.

"Be careful before dispatching troops, and don't leak the news to attract people's suspicion!"

"Also, please ask the leader to ask Chang'an to relocate the tribes scattered in Pingyang and Hongnong to Hedong." Qi Fu Chipan was scheming and had already begun to prepare for the safe reception of the tribe after seizing the territory.

"The opposite of Hedong County is Luozhou, close to Wubao of the Qin Dynasty, and not far from Jingzhou. The Di people will never dare to launch an army easily, otherwise, a big battle will definitely be inevitable!"

The Qin family was famous in the north, and almost all the Hu tribes fought against Wubao servants, and Qifu Xianbei was no exception.

The fourth son of the Qin family guarding Luozhou is definitely a killer!

When Wang Meng sent troops to attack Yan, he had to take a detour, trying to avoid Qin Jing.No one would have a twitching brain, blatantly arouse the suspicion of the other party, and end up "died on the spot, with his head on the wall".

"If the Qin family didn't disdain us, joining forces with them would be a hundred times better than Murong Chui."

Qifu Sifan let out a long sigh, and everyone was silent.

Now, they are thinking of uniting with the Qin family, but they don't think carefully about how many people of the Han family they killed and how many lives they held in their hands during the hundred years when their ancestors herded horses in the Central Plains!

To this day, there are still many Han women imprisoned in the sheepfolds of the tribe. Their appearance is haggard and their minds are chaotic.

The people discussed it properly, begging Si Fan to go to Chang'an, claiming that the tribal men went out to fight, and the women, children, old and weak were left alone to take care of them. In case of accidents, please allow the tribes scattered in various counties to gather in Hedong.

When the letter was sent out, the people did not delay, they sent horses to deliver the letter one after another, and asked those who stayed in the tribe to pack up and rush to Hedong immediately.

"Fu Jian relies on us to fight, so we can't send troops to drive people back!"

The Hu tribe who took refuge in Fu Jian not only begged for Xianbei, but counting the big and small, they couldn't be counted with ten fingers.

Regardless of how Qifu Xianbei planned in secret, on the surface, they are all doing their best to open up territories for the Di people.Nowadays, they are just worried about the population, cattle and sheep in the tribe, and it is reasonable to want to move to Hedong for defense together.

If Fu Jian refuses to agree, or even sends troops to intercept him, he will be greatly disappointed.The attached Hu tribe will see what kind of leader the Di people who flaunt benevolence and righteousness are!

"Just do it!"

Begging Xianbei moved very quickly, before reaching Chang'an, the tribesmen driving carts and leading cattle and sheep were already on the way.

Due to the pedigree of Gaoche, the carts of the Qifu Department are very distinctive, with two wheels and four wheels, and the larger ones need more than six horses and oxen to pull them.The carts were loaded with herdsmen's tents and belongings, and the captive Han and Hu slaves were tied to the back of the cart.

Among the slaves, a few Murong Xianbei nobles with high noses, deep eyes, and white complexion were particularly conspicuous.

They had a close relationship with Huan Da Sima's concubine Murong, and they were both defeated and arrested.It's just that everyone has their own destiny. When Murong met Huan Wen, he was brought into the back house and gave birth to a son for Huan Wen.

These few were reduced to begging slaves of the Xianbei, the men shepherd the sheep, and the women served the tribe for lust, and the old days were long gone.

Even so, they still looked down on the Han people, and even bullied the Han women who were imprisoned together.

According to Huan Rong's words: Poor people must have something to hate, some people are not worthy of sympathy by nature!

As expected by Sifan Qifu, the letter arrived in Chang'an, Fu Jian cared about the name of a benevolent monarch, and agreed to the request of the Ministry of Qifu, even though Wang Meng objected, he still did not change his mind.

To show his gratitude, Sifan Qi Fu went to the table again, thanking Fu Jian for his tolerance and generosity, praising him for his wisdom and martial arts, pouring out good words like money, and praising him as a unique and benevolent lord in the world.

Fu Jian was highly praised, and with a swipe of a pen, he rewarded Beg Fu Xianbei with ten sets of mountain armor.Although the number is not large, it comes from the hands of Han craftsmen, which is rare among Hu people.

Qifu Sifan was so grateful that he almost recognized Fu Jian as his adoptive father, even though he was seven or eight years older than him.

With the troops arriving one after another, Qifu Sifan did not delay, and ordered troops to set off on a certain day, aiming at Jingzhou.

It is worth pondering that before Qifu Sifan set off, he sent a letter to General Gouchi, stating that he had no intention of joining the Di people's cavalry.

According to him, the speed of soldiers is very important, so that Jin soldiers will not be aware of it and arrange precautions in advance.

Gouchi didn't know what happened, but Wang Meng was even more afraid of Qifu Sifan, and even regretted that he shouldn't have transferred troops from Qifu Xianbei, and now he really has the tendency to shoot himself in the foot.

The weather was hot, the fields failed to harvest, and all the vegetation withered.

More than ten thousand troops crossed the border, raising dust all over the sky, the momentum was really astonishing.

When the news reached Luozhou, Qin Jing ordered [-] soldiers and drove to Hedong together with Qin Yu.

In order to speed up, Qin Jing ordered that in addition to weapons and armor, each person should only bring the required dry food and prepare two water bags.

When going out to rob, of course, the lighter the carry-on, the better.

Qin Yu rode on the horse, looked at the goshawk flying down from the sky, and muttered to himself: "I said to send troops a few days ago, but it has been delayed until today. When it comes to the territory of the barbarians, we must kill enough of them." !"

Qin Jing ignored him, took off the cloth scarf on Goshawk's right leg, knowing that the Jin army had set out from Wuyang and was approaching Fangtou, she turned her head and said, "Brother, we need to speed up."

"how?"

"The Jin soldiers have gone to Fangtou, and this batch of cattle and sheep must be delivered as soon as possible."

Huan Rong didn't say it clearly in the letter, but there was a meaning revealed between the lines: the military rations are about to run out, so please ask Brother Qin for help!

"So fast?" Qin Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Huan Yuanzi sent someone to dig the stone gate, but did they get through?"

Qin Jing shook her head and said, "I don't know yet."

Qiao Jun and Liang Guo are both guarded by Xianbei generals, so they are not easy to attack.With the combat power of the Jin army, it may be possible to win, but it will not be so fast.

Qin Yu pondered for a while, feeling a little puzzled in his heart, does Huan Yuanzi really want to win the battle?Neither Qin Jue nor Qin Yu would lead the army like this!

After writing a reply letter on the back of the silk cloth, Qin Jing released the goshawk, drank two sips of water, rested for a while, and ordered everyone to mount their horses again and gallop towards Hedong County.

In July [-], the fourth year of Taihe, Jin soldiers arrived at Fangtou, and encountered several resistances along the way, all of which were unsuccessful.

Knowing that Jin soldiers were less than a hundred miles away from Yecheng, Murong Ping turned pale with shock, but Zuhun finally realized that at this moment, it is meaningless to fight for power and profit. Once the country perishes, she, the Queen Mother, will fall into the dust. no!

"Di people, didn't the Di people agree to send troops?!"

Murong Ping was anxious and confused, knowing that the Di people's army had just arrived in Jingzhou, no matter what happened, they rushed into the harem, forcing the Kezuhun family to hand over Princess Qinghe, and immediately sent someone to Chang'an.

"The empress dowager had better send a letter to Yuzhou to invite His Royal Highness King Zhongshan to come back!"

What Fu Jian wanted was two, one Princess Qinghe was far from enough!

Ke Zuhun's face was pale, and he wanted to argue, but facing the glaring swords and guns, he finally called out with a trembling voice.

Master Yan Murong Wei saw it, but he didn't feel anxious at all, instead he laughed.

"Why is Your Majesty laughing?"

"Laugh if you want to." Murong Wei raised the jug, took a big gulp, stood up unsteadily, hugged the beauty, and was about to return to the inner hall.

"Your Majesty, Jin soldiers are approaching, don't you worry at all?"

"Worried? Hiccup!" Murong Wei hiccupped and said, half drunk, "There is a Tai Tuo and a Queen Mother in state affairs, so I have nothing to worry about."

After saying that, Murong Wei laughed again, wrapped his right arm around the concubine, and put his left arm around the concubine, enjoying himself in the palace in front of everyone.

Murong Ping couldn't take it anymore, he flung his sleeves and left.

After his back disappeared, Murong Wei pushed the beauty away, smashed the jug, and said with red eyes: "Get out! Get out!"

do not worry?

Murong Wei laughed wildly, and at the end of the laugh, he rolled down tears.

If the ruler of the country has reached his level, what is the difference between the death of the country and the survival of the country!

In the fourth year of Taihe, on the first day of August, there was a sudden heavy rain in Yecheng.

The roar of thunder alleviated the drought in the north, but it did not relieve the worry of the soldiers pressing down on the border.

The rain was too heavy, and the Jin soldiers could not move on, so they had to stay at Fangtou temporarily.

Huan Rong counted the food and grass of the forward right army, looked at the gray sky, and couldn't help showing a trace of worry.If this continues, the military rations may not last long.

Activate cheat?

If it was in Yanzhou, Huan Rong could give it a try.Nowadays, there is a sudden increase in food and grass, which really cannot be explained.

"Lang Jun, be careful of catching a cold."

Ah Mi brought hot soup, and asked Huan Rong to change his outer robe to warm up his body.

"It's cold in the north, and the rain is chilly. Your lord needs to add an extra robe."

Huan Rong nodded, and gave Liu Laozhi the wooden house built by the servant, and chose the carriage for rest.

It was getting darker.

Ah Mi lit the fuel lamp, Huan Rong lay in the carriage, listening to the sound of rain hitting the roof of the car, his eyelids began to twitch, and he gradually fell asleep.

Boom boom boom!

When he was in a daze, there was a knocking sound in his ear.

A Mi pushed open the car window, and two figures, one big and one small, flew in one after another. It turned out to be the goshawk returning from delivering the letter, and the scops owl that I had seen once.

"Wa-a-a-a-a-"

The scops owl was drenched all over. It exploded its feathers and pounced on the low table. When it found that the plate was empty, it turned its head at [-] degrees to look at Huan Rong, its big eyes unblinking, as if it was accusing.

Huan Rong patted his head, he must have fallen asleep!

I couldn't bear to see it like this, so I stopped Ami, who was going to chase the birds, and took out the remaining bit of dried meat from the cabinet, and poured it all on the plate.

"Wave--"

The scopped owl blew, picked up a piece of jerky, and quickly swallowed it.

Goshawk glanced at it disdainfully, and wanted to step forward, but Huan Rong grabbed his right leg again.

"and many more."

Huan Rong caressed the eagle's back, untied the bamboo tube from the eagle's legs, Ah Mi had already got out of the carriage under the umbrella, and ordered the healthy servant to fetch fresh meat.

There is no mutton in the army, but there are wounded horses captured from the barbarians.Horses with injured legs cannot survive, and most of them will become rations for soldiers.

The goshawk was let go, and immediately pounced on the scops owl.

The latter dodged deftly, picked up the last piece of dried meat on the plate, and flew out of the carriage with wings flapping.

Huan Rong unfolded the silk cloth and saw the content on it, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, feeling relieved.

Goshawk turned around and tilted his head.

Huan Rong took a cloth towel and put it on the goshawk with a smile, almost making it blow out.

"Don't move." Huan Rong pressed the goshawk's back, strange to say, since he grabbed the eagle's legs, he became less and less afraid of this bird, and sometimes even thought it was a bit cute.

Ah Mi fetched horse meat, and Huan Rong fed it with a smile.

The goshawk fluffed its breast feathers and looked at him suspiciously, but couldn't resist the temptation of fresh meat, so it disarmed, and let the cloth towel wipe the feathers and take away the cold rain.

Hadong-gun

The Xianbei camp, which stretched for several miles, suddenly heard the sound of Jin Ge.

The pungent kerosene was packed in cans and hit the tents one by one. The fierce cavalry shuttled between the tents, throwing torches as long as forearms.

Sparks ignited when they met oil, and in an instant, the camp became a sea of ​​flames.

"kill!"

The left-behind tribes took up weapons, no matter old people, women or children, they all drew bows and arrows, and brandished long knives.Several fierce Xianbei people pulled up the long rope, regardless of their own safety, intending to trip the horse's legs.

Qin Jing pulled the reins violently, the horse jumped up, a cold light flashed, and only the decapitated corpse remained on the ground.

In the light of the fire, Qin's servants were divided into several teams and charged left and right.

When encountering sheep pens and cattle pens, immediately cut off the ropes and release the sheep slaves and women in the pens.

The sheep slave's expression was numb and he didn't know how to react. The women recognized the Han robes on the cavalry by the light of the fire, cried and laughed, and suddenly gained strength and rushed towards the nearest Xianbei.

If you don't have a weapon, use your teeth, your nails, whatever you can.

"what!"

Qifu Chipan was fighting with the servants when he suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his calf, and then a heavy object fell on his back, and his left ear was bitten off.

"what!"

Amidst the screams, two more women rushed forward, they looked like sisters, one bit the right ear of Qifu Chipan, and the other scratched his cheek hard.

Blood splattered, and the woman suddenly raised her head, her hair was dyed red, her tears flowed dry, and with endless hatred in her eyes, she swallowed the begging ears whole!

The servant had seen the people of the Han family imprisoned by the barbarians, and his parents had also been imprisoned in the sheepfold, so he felt the same hatred for the woman.He stopped the comrade who was about to go forward, swung his knife and cut off the hands of begging Chipan, leaving him lying on the ground, wailing one after another.

In the dark night, the flames shot up into the sky, and thick smoke filled the sky above the camp.

The screams of the barbarians mixed with the screams of the sheep, resounding throughout the night sky.

"Brother, how many Murong Xianbei are here?"

Qin Yu rode his horse and came, followed by several servants, escorting several ragged Xianbei nobles.

"Kill it." Qin Jing didn't even look at it, without any hesitation.

"Aren't you going to exchange money?"

"It's no use."

The business done with Murong Liang was similar, and Qin Jing didn't plan to have anything to do with Murong Xianbei again.

Qin Yu grinned and licked his lips. A trace of evil flashed across his handsome face, and the spear swept across. Several Xianbei people flew several meters on the spot and fell to the ground with broken spines. They could only wait to die in pain.

In troubled times, this is an unusual scene.

In the face of wolves, benevolence, righteousness and morality will only cause grief, and the only way to raise a knife and gun is to stop killing with killing.

This is the way of Qin's Wubao survival.

This is true of Qin Ce, and so is his son.
