sweeping the world

Chapter 570 The Confused Han Army

"Betrayed and captured the old master again, congratulations to Mingda..." Zhang Chonghua had a face full of sarcasm, and cupped his hands as a salute: "If you go back with your life, you must be able to ask the King of Han for a complete favor."

Strictly speaking, it was Zhang Jun who agreed to Xie Ai's resignation. Xie Ai resigned first and then went to Han to become an official. There was no act of betrayal.

However, as a native of Dunhuang, Xie Ai's family is also a prominent family in Dunhuang, and Dunhuang is under the rule of the Zhang family. He captured the current leader of the Zhang family's Liang Kingdom on the battlefield, and he felt somewhat complicated in his heart.

Xie Ai, who received traditional Confucian education, made Zhang Chonghua sneer in silence. If people who don’t know it think that Xie Ai was captured by the Han army, Zhang Chonghua was on the side of the winner, but the fact is that Zhang Chonghua’s side was defeated. I didn't run away either.

Zhang Chonghua was captured on the fourth day. There was nothing spectacular about the process, and it could even be said to be extremely unlucky.The reason was that he fell off his horse while changing horses at a gallop. He was lucky enough not to be trampled to death by the hooves of a passing horse, and even more lucky not to be killed by the Imperial Guards. Later, he was bumped into by Xie Ai himself.

"Let's take it down first." Xie Ai didn't use the word 'bet'. It's true that he is a traditional Confucian scholar, but it doesn't mean that he is as abnormal as Lu Ru. It is already the greatest degree to miss old feelings, and it is impossible to let go of Zhang Chonghua. : "Don't abuse me, take good care of me."

Zhang Chonghua responded with a cold snort, but after walking a few steps, his face changed into a mournful expression.He has just succeeded to the throne for less than a year, okay? Zhang Yaoling, the eldest son, is only four years old. The half brother Zhang Zuo has always been ambitious, and the other half brother Zhang Tianxi is not alone. people.This time he was captured, Zhang's Liangguo must be in trouble!

If you want to say what Zhang Chonghua regrets now, it is definitely regret that he didn't figure out the Rouran people... At least before the virtue of Rouran Khan, Mao rashly came to Rouran to make an alliance.He is still in a daze until now, unable to understand how Rouran Khan Bati is so unreliable, how stupid to become the ruler of Rouran.

In other words, the Rouran Tribe Alliance does not compete with who is the smartest to become a khan. It requires a certain bloodline, and then force is the most critical part.Their method of selecting Khans was very primitive. They compared their bloodlines and the troops in their hands, and then they almost went to a one-on-one battle, and whoever won was the Khan.If the loser does not accept or recognize it, then there will be another civil war. This is probably the reason why Rouran's final demise was inexplicable, without the vigor that a major force should have.

Xie Ai also found it incomprehensible to the stupidity of Rouran Khan Bhati. In history, there were many powerful forces led by idiots. From strength to strength, they weakened or were destroyed in a short period of time. However, they ignored the troops on the battlefield. There aren't many commanders who just run away, but I didn't expect that he would encounter him like this.

After half a month of chasing and killing, the Han army should have killed more than [-] enemy troops, captured about [-] enemy troops, and their own losses were less than [-]. It can be said that they have won an epic victory.

The number of captives was about the same as the number of the Han army. Xie Ai had done many times to do nothing, and once he gritted his teeth, he ordered to kill them in batches again.

It takes time to kill the captives, and the delay is three days. There are dozens of large pits with hundreds or thousands of corpses underground in the grassland. The grass in those places will definitely grow extremely lush in the spring of the coming year.

According to his nature and the education he received, Xie Ai, a disciple of Confucianism, really didn't want to kill prisoners, let alone bury them alive, but he was not so pedantic that he didn't know how to adapt.

The Han army went deep into the grassland alone, and the reason for not staying behind in the early stage was to not reveal their whereabouts. The army should not only treat its own soldiers with kindness, but also have the consciousness to bear heavy blood debts if necessary.In the next big victory, the number of prisoners of war was almost equal to that of our own troops. If you are not stupid, you should know how big the risk is.

Xie Ai chose to let those prisoners of war die in the risk that the captives might riot and wipe out the entire army.This choice was very heavy. In just a few days, his temples turned gray at a young age, and he became more and more taciturn.

"Lighting the lamp to watch the sword while drunk, dreaming back to the battalion of blowing horns. Eight hundred miles are divided into fire under the command, fifty strings are turned outside the fortress, and soldiers are ordered in autumn on the battlefield. The horse is fast, and the bow is like a thunderbolt. The king's world is over, Won the name before and after his life. It happened for nothing!" Xie Ai has read a lot of books, and his memory is not bad. ..."

The original author of the poem was Xin Qiji, a general and poet of the Southern Song Dynasty.But every poem he plagiarized is absolutely excellent, otherwise it would not be handed down to future generations.

In other words, there are actually no "words" in today's era, and "poetry" and "fu" are the mainstream, and "pairs" have already appeared. "Ci" originated in the Sui and Tang Dynasties and flourished in the Song and Song Dynasties. "Dairy" already existed in the Western Zhou Dynasty, but it did not become popular until the Ming Dynasty.

It is a must for a traveler to bring out new things that do not exist in advance. No matter whether the traveler is intentional or not, because he came from a later life, everything he does is creating history. If the information is leaked a little bit, it is new, but if the identity and status are sufficient, it will lead the trend, such as the "ci" that Liu Yan came up with in advance.

There is no such thing as ominous killings of prisoners in the Han Dynasty, and Xie Ai did not start mass killings of prisoners of war. There was a ruthless man named Ran Min who had already been killing people.

At present, Dingxiang is still under siege by the Han army, but the Han army has already captured the entire Bingzhou, and the attack on Shuozhou is also ongoing. The 17 Jie people captured by Ran Min dug pits regardless of gender Buried alive.He felt that it was cheap for him to murder the Jie clansmen alive. He originally wanted to cook them alive, but instead of murdering them, Xu Zheng intervened under the behest of Liu Yan.

Ran Minkeng did not conceal the murder of the Jie people. On the contrary, he publicized it with pride, so that not only everyone in the Han Dynasty knew about it, but also the surrounding countries also snooped on the information one after another.

Most of the murders of Ran Min in the Han Dynasty were applauded, and the lower the level, the more relieved. After all, when the Jie people were the rulers, they really didn’t treat the Han family Miao as human beings, and even the Jie people treated the Han family Miao people more than they did. No beast.

Those who condemned and impeached Ran Min also existed within the Han Dynasty. They were just trying to kill prisoners as a bad omen, or scolding Ran Min for being cruel. The more they read and became stupid, the more fierce the scoldings made Ran Min furious and wanted to Those guys dedicated themselves and their families to the Jie people who were not dead. I want to ask if they can stop making sarcastic remarks after being tortured.

Xie Ai knows that Ran Min is killing and killing the big pits. The latest news is that Ran Min killed almost all the captured Jie people, and instead went to liquidate the Jie people, but the liquidation of the Jie people is somewhat mild. For some, they never did the killing of the whole family, old and young, and killed the dog leg himself, and his relatives were reduced to slaves to contribute to the construction of the Han Dynasty.

There was Ran Min, who didn't care about fame, standing in front of him. Xie Ai was in a distant grassland, and it was the imperial guards who did the killing. Although Xie Ai had a hurdle in his heart, he could still concentrate on doing things.

The killing of the prisoners was delayed for three days, and on the fourth day Xie Ai led his army forward again.He has not been idle for a few days, mainly collecting information on the surrounding area and the movements of Langjuxu Mountain.

A large number of Rouran people are rushing to Langjuxu Mountain. They are the ones who acted on their own after knowing the outbreak of war. Some of them are not afraid of death and come directly to the Han army. Fleeing and fleeing can be regarded as making some contributions to the camp by slowing down the marching speed of the Han army.

"Someone doesn't understand." Li Hong looked quite happy: "Why do those Rouran people dare to bump into us with hundreds of thousands? The finished batch will be the next batch."

"Stupid." Zhang Rui said inexplicably, "I really don't know how the power of Rouran has survived until now."

The group of people who went deep into the grassland have not been in contact with the Rouran race for a long time. The problem is that they soon discovered the essence of the Rouran race. Score points" has been said carelessly for a long time, facing the small group of Rouran cavalry who keep coming to give military merits, besides feeling inexplicable, it is fun.

To what extent is Bati stupid? Xie Aibing forced the wolf to live in Xushan to discover a new height.

"What?" Xie Ai poked his ears indecently, and asked the translator with an incredulous expression: "Rouran Khan asked the general to retreat?"

That's right, Bati sent an envoy to the Han army and said that the kings who came to the alliance are no longer in Langjuxu Mountain, so let Xie Ai go back where he came from.

What's the situation?It means that Bati doesn’t care about how many Rouran people were killed by the Han army before. Rouran is too far away from Han, so I won’t talk about the previous things. If they love to hunt down the kings, they will go. In short, they don't want to have fun with the Han army.

It was not only Xie Ai who was slightly dumbfounded, but the people who listened to the translation were a little dazed, and looked at the envoy of Rouran with eyes that looked crazy.

"Hmm..." Xie Ai waved his hand to let the envoy of Rouran go down to rest first, and then said to everyone in the account: "Rouran people really make me unable to understand."

The people in the tent were looking for familiar people and looked at each other with strange expressions.

"The big Han has not yet settled the border countries, and there is no border connection with Rouran." Xie Ai is not a pure general, and he does not want to fight endlessly, let alone fight for the sake of fighting: "This general means, Ask Bati to hunt down and kill the kings, capture them, or take their heads. Do you think Bati will agree?"

No one in the Han army regards the people in Rouran as normal or ordinary people, so they can't look at Rouran people with the eyes of normal people and ordinary people.According to the modern meaning, they have discovered that Rouran's brain circuit is a bit strange.

Li Hong was the first to speak out: "Try it, how will you know if you don't try it."

Marching Commander Shi Cui What about it?"

Xie Ai looked at Cui Xuan with satisfaction, and how to face Rouran next is a very important thing.

In the final analysis, the Han Kingdom is really too far away from Rouran, that is, how many territories can be killed this time, and there is at least a Tuobadai Kingdom in between.

Bati's stupidity has been clearly shown. Xie Ai needs to figure out what Bati will do next. If Bati really goes after the kings, it will be great. If Bati refuses, he should think carefully about whether he will continue to fight. necessary.

Bati's reply was very straightforward. Whether it was fear of the Han army, or extreme anger at the kings who caused trouble, he promised Xie Ai that he would send troops to hunt down and kill Tuoba Shiyijian and Murong Jun who knew which direction to flee. No matter whether it is successful or not, someone will be notified.Then, he repeatedly urged Xie Ai to leave with his troops.

When meeting such a kind of person, it is not worthwhile to fight, and it would be a pity if he does not fight. Xie Ailian's depression of killing prisoners of war has been faded.He agreed to withdraw the troops on the premise that the Rouran cavalry was gathering more and more, but he withdrew to Rouran Mountain and stayed there, saying that he would wait here for the final result of Bati's pursuit of Tuoba Shi Yijian and Murong Jun. .

It is not clear whether Bati really sent cavalry out of Langjuxu Mountain, but whether he really went after Tuoba Shi Yijian and Murong Jun.He felt that he kept his promise and rejected the Han army from nesting in Langjuxu Mountain, but he dared not expel them.Later, he sent an envoy again, not talking about hunting down, but proposing to buy armaments.

The Rouran people who survived the battle were deeply impressed by the sharpness of the Han army's weapons, and they were even more salivating for the defensive power of the Han army's cavalry armor. They feel that they can't beat it, so can they talk about whether they can buy it?
"This gang of barbarians... are really stupid to be cute." Cui Xuan is a member of the Cui Wan clan. He was originally the magistrate of a county in Jizhou. can enter the army.He laughed for a while before saying to Xie Ai: "Maybe we can try to make Rouran a knife for a big man?"

Xie Ai was thinking about this.He didn't know how stupid Bati was, and he couldn't be sure if all people in Rouran were equally stupid. He only knew that the borders of the two countries were not connected, and the fight was almost useless. It would be better to use it after a beating choose.

"We can't make the final decision on military equipment. Other things can be handled first." Cui Xuan is a sensible person. He must first consult the king whether military supplies can be sold.He smiled and said: "Actually... we have destroyed the alliance of the kings, and the military affairs assigned by the king have been completed. But if we can do more things, why not do it?"

Of course Xie Ai understands this truth. It would be great if there are additional achievements while completing the task.

　The last chapter was really not at all nonsense. When Man Qing faced the big powers, he did even more exaggerated things.There are many similar things in history, such as what Song Qinzong Zhao Huan did when facing Jin Bing, and other examples will not be cited.
