Chapter 16 Chapter 16
Beidaying is not as well-equipped as the Turkic side. Most of the land here is wasteland, and the swamps, meadows, and howling cold winds are more ruthless than the Turkic side.Chongming stationed here with more than 5000 people, and these [-] people have only reached the state after five years of continuous secret transfers.You must know that the previous dynasty deployed more than [-] troops in the North Camp, but almost all of these more than [-] people were killed in the battle five years ago.And in order to stabilize the situation at that time and let the former dynasty that was about to collapse give up the last hope, everyone thought that the [-] soldiers of the Peking Camp still existed.When Chen Yu entered the capital, it was the time when the Beidaying battle was the worst, and the news of Chen Yu's accession to the throne came, and the Beidaying was close to an empty city.Chongming kept his promise and gave his brothers a safe north, but they did not let the Xiongnu advance even though it cost them dearly.
This battle may not be seen again in Chen Yu's lifetime, but those who know the truth will always remember the brothers who gave them a back in the north. After Chen Yu ascended the throne, he personally went to Peking Daying and Chongming to worship as brothers of different surnames, and promised, As long as Han Bang is still surnamed Chen, the descendants of his Chong family will never have to worry about their lives.This is an amnesty for Chongming's descendants to rebel against death, but it is this trust that makes Chongming so loyal.
Chen Yu ordered people to erect a wordless stone tablet in front of the main gate of Beidaying. The stone tablet was three feet high, like a sharp sword soaring into the sky.The sword pointed to the sky, Chongming knew it, the Chen family knew it, and the remaining 9 soldiers of the Peking Camp knew that this monument was erected for the 470 people who died. Without them, there would be no new dynasty.There are no flowers under the stele, because the bloody soldiers don't need these, what they need is to stare at the land and responsibility for which they gave their lives forever.
Chen Jian once came here alone, but before he got close, he was discovered by the guarding soldiers. It wasn't the soldiers' martial arts skills, but everyone in the Peking University Camp, all eyes were on the outsiders.They are the isolated sharp blades, they are the outermost thick shield, and they are the guardians who are willing to cover this land with blood.
If he was speaking from his heart, Chen Yu would not let any of his sons come and garrison Beidaying. Others thought that Beidaying was still the heavily armored city back then, but they all knew that Beidaying was unusual.
After walking out of the last border town, the rest of the journey is the endless grassland, and Beidaying is on the other side of this grassland.The trucks transporting food and soldiers have pushed out tracks, and in less than half a month, they will be wiped out by the newly grown grass sprouts and the strong wind that keeps blowing.The two-day journey was neither long nor short. When the army crossed the grassland and arrived at the gate of Beidaying, Chen Jian and Chen Cheng unanimously got off their horses and ropes.The huge stone tablet is like a road sign, which can be seen from inside the grassland, pointing them in the direction from a distance.There is still a hundred feet away from the door, but no one is on the horse. Chen Jian is leading Hei Sang. Hei Sang, who has always been aggressive and aggressive, is not restless in front of his favorite barracks, but hangs his head calmly. walk by.
And Chen Cheng's Huofeng was completely red, and in this position he also changed his previous arrogance, and his steady steps seemed to be carrying a heavy burden.As if influenced by the horses of the two chief generals, the horses of the lieutenant generals behind them also lowered their heads and stepped forward, the sound of kicking was low and there was no trace of disorder.The soldiers behind him were unknown, but they had strict military discipline. When they walked to the stone tablet, they were affected by this tall and cold stone tablet, and they felt unspeakable vicissitudes and weeping.
The advance of the army is not a secret, at least on this grassland, there are no alien creatures that can escape the eyes of the elusive soldiers of the North Camp.
Chongming watched from the door, and he felt respect and sincerity from the actions of the two chief generals.Seeing the army quietly walking past the stele and standing neatly in front of the door, the man leading the two steeds in front of him looked a bit like the child of an old friend.
"Huaihua General Chen Jian" and "Champion General Chen Cheng"
"With 5000 soldiers. Come and report!"
Chongming stepped forward and looked at the two of them. One was imposing, and his actions were obviously tempered by the barracks, while the other was naturally fierce, with a faint blood-red aura between his brows, which seemed to be the foundation of a fierce general.
"A few days ago, I received the imperial decree, saying that two generals came with [-] soldiers, but I didn't expect it to be two princes." Chongming said that he was about to salute, but was stopped by Chen Jian and Chen Cheng, "I two When a person arrives at the barracks, he is not a prince, but a general under the marshal." As they spoke, the two knelt down on one knee and saluted solemnly.This is the rule after it is established. In the military camp, only military orders are spoken, regardless of status.
"Tong Zhiqi! Come here to count the soldiers!" Chongming turned to call his staff general, and Tong Zhiqi came with a few staff officers in light armor to count the troops.Several lieutenants followed Chen Jian and Chongming into the Marshal's Mansion.
The Turkic frontier is a new place that has just stabilized, but the Beidaying is an important place that has been operated by the previous dynasty for decades, and all the equipment is complete. It can be said that only soldiers and weapons are missing. That armored city.
Another difference from the Turks is that on the city wall of Beidaying, you can see felt tents, sheep and horses not far away.There is no buffer zone, and once there is an attack, there will be no concealment and surprise effect, but once an attack occurs, it will be a must.There is no confrontation, no formation of soldiers, no plan, there is real fighting and blood here.Some are only tests for generals and soldiers, and some are actual strength.
"It seems that the capital has all the information." Chongming was relieved to see that the two of them were not surprised by the border situation. "It looks calm here on the surface, but I don't know how long it can last. I heard that there is a big sweat from the Huns. His name is Igor. His surname is unknown. He was raised by wolves on the ice sheet. , fighting bravely and cunningly, his tribe has the tendency to annex several small tribes around him, but it has not started yet."
"If you want to talk about the similarities between the Turks and the Huns, the worship of wolves is one of them. However, the Turks regard the wolf as a representative of bravery and war, while the Huns regard the wolf as a god." Yu Wenchang said with some feeling Let the people in the tent smile but not smile.Chen Jian was helpless, Yuwen had this problem since he was a child, and he couldn't find the point.But what he said was also true. These two enemies of the Han state regarded the wolf as a kind of spirit, unlike the Han state's culture, which regarded the wolf as a cunning animal.
"But Igor's goal doesn't seem to be annexation. His actions are confusing." Gongsun Zan on the side twitched his whiskers and shook his head. He was a clerk in the army and a military adviser.Chen Jian turned his attention to him, "How do you say this, Mr. Military Advisor?"
Gongsun Zan laughed convulsively, his beard on both sides trembled up and down with the shaking, and his whole body showed an indescribable treachery. "I have had conversations with the people of the Huns, and they said that after Igor became the Great Khan of their tribe, he did not integrate and expand as everyone imagined, but instead shepherded sheep and herded horses in peace, nothing at all. When he seized the position of the Great Khan, he had the aggressive spirit. It seems that a fierce wolf pack turned into a steady wolf king overnight."
"Is the old Khan in their tribe still there?" Chen Yan rolled his eyes, and when he asked, Gongsun Zan's beard twitched twice, "The general's question is on point. When seizing the throne, all the sons of the old Khan were slaughtered, leaving the old Khan imprisoned by his side, but it stands to reason that the old Khan would not assist in killing his son and enemy no matter what. Unless..."
"Unless that Igor is the son of the old Khan." Chen Cheng's eyes widened, apparently unable to believe that the tribe of the Huns has become so cruel?Not only throwing the youngest son into the wolves, but also ignoring the brotherhood.But after thinking about it, Chen Cheng felt a little embarrassed. The Hanbang's method was also similar, but it was not as obvious as the Xiongnu's.
"This is the direction everyone suspects, not sure." Gongsun Zan looked at the marshal and nodded.Then he continued to twist his beard and said, "Igor's tribe used to have a large tribe that had a marriage with the Turkic side. Although it has shrunk now, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. Khan's assistant. I'm afraid it will be a serious problem for our confidantes in the future."
Gongsun Zan's voice fell, and the room was quiet. The Igor tribe is located on the east side of the grassland. The water and grass are not rich, but it is much better than the Gobi in the northwest. If you want to develop a horizontal Xiongnu tribe, if you want to retreat , there is really no tribe more powerful than him on the grasslands to the east.With such a good position and a leader, if Hanbang wants to avoid future battles, the best way is to kill them in their infancy.However, the former Beidaying was a heavily armored city, and the current Beidaying is worth 6 people. If the attack fails, I am afraid that the Beidaying will be swallowed by the Xiongnu who are waiting for an opportunity.
Due to the tight location of the North Camp, no Hun spies have successfully ascertained the real situation of the North Camp in the past few years. It can be said that Marshal Chongming led these more than [-] people to stage an empty city plan for the Huns in the North Camp for five years.It wasn't that the Huns were stupid and couldn't see through it, but that the blood from five years ago still existed on the city walls of Beidaying. Whenever they set foot on the land at the pass, even the livestock couldn't help crawling.
Not only more than 10 Han soldiers died that year, but also nearly [-] people gathered from various tribes. It can be said that the Xiongnu failed to break through the defense line made of flesh and blood by the soldiers of the Beidaying Army.
The only thing that can comfort a few people is that the population of the Huns is sparse, and most of them are nomadic. Although all the people are soldiers, it is not easy to gather together. If Chen Yu's rebellion gave the Huns this opportunity five years ago, they would want to attack the city in one fell swoop. Finally, it takes some effort.
After a detailed discussion in the room, combined with the information sent by the prince, Chen Jian and Chen Cheng frown.
"Fourth brother, can we put on makeup and pretend to be herdsmen to find out the situation of the Xiongnu? All the people of the Huns are soldiers, and even the herdsmen on the grassland have good riding skills. If we can ask from them Trends..." Chen Cheng didn't like the feeling of knowing nothing about the enemy, this was influenced by Chen Jian.Chen Jian shook his head, "There is a big gap between us and the Huns in stature, and we can't get any information from the people of the Huns. If we get close to the tribe's profuse khan, I'm afraid not only will we be discovered, but it will be a problem to retreat completely." , what's more, we will give the Xiongnu a reason to take the initiative to attack."
"How did the fourth brother know that the people of the Xiongnu knew nothing about these things?" Chen Cheng scratched his head. If they couldn't find out, then they could only wait until the Xiongnu gathered before they could take any action?This passive feeling displeased Chen Cheng very much.
"Most of the Huns wandered on the grasslands, and a few who settled down were old and weak at home. According to the practice of the Huns, only the Khan's cronies knew the next plan, including alliances and confrontations. All soldiers were prepared at the beginning of the war. Therefore, we will not have any useful information before the Xiongnu confirms the plan, and the Huns are moving so fast, I am afraid that we will be discovered before we leave." Chen Jian talked about the matter here , some lingering fears, in the three years at the border, he has not been here, and he was lucky enough to see a war between the tribes of the Huns, that kind of pure massacre without any warning.When the blood splashed on the yurt, the pot inside was still steaming. When the people and horses were running, the sheep were still wandering outside. When the shepherd returned to his own home, he found that everything had settled.
Thinking of the previous experience, Chen Jian still felt that the bloody smell was on the tip of his nose.Chen Cheng on the side looked at him, and felt that the fourth brother seemed to be a little too jealous of the Huns, and he had been like this from the beginning, even at the risk of being suspected by his father, he would not let him go out alone.
"Don't think that I think highly of the Xiongnu. I'll take you to a tribe in a few days and you'll know." The corners of Chen Jian's mouth twitched. Some things cannot be understood correctly unless they have seen them with their own eyes.
"How many days? In what capacity shall we go?" Chen Cheng looked around, "You can't go as a general."
"Why not go as a general?" Chen Jian raised his eyebrows, "What identity do you think I exchanged with Turks for 15 years of peace?"
"Fourth brother, my father once praised me for being brave enough to fight a tiger with one hand, I think you are the one who is so brave." Chen Cheng laughed loudly, "So what if you are a general, there is nothing wrong with it!"
In Kyoto, King Huainan looked at the secret letter sent by his subordinates, his eyes were in a trance.
"Does the person who wrote the letter have anything else to say?" Putting the letter on the candle, only half of it was burned, Huainan Wang changed his mind again, swung his sleeves to extinguish the flame, and looked at the servant who hadn't replied, "What can I say?" , let you hesitate like this!"
"My lord, that man, that man said, I have raised my lord for 21 years. I don't know, but there will be rewards." The servant plopped and knelt on the ground, and the Huainan princess next to her broke her nails.
This battle may not be seen again in Chen Yu's lifetime, but those who know the truth will always remember the brothers who gave them a back in the north. After Chen Yu ascended the throne, he personally went to Peking Daying and Chongming to worship as brothers of different surnames, and promised, As long as Han Bang is still surnamed Chen, the descendants of his Chong family will never have to worry about their lives.This is an amnesty for Chongming's descendants to rebel against death, but it is this trust that makes Chongming so loyal.
