164.Chapter 164

When he got up the next day, Chen Xu felt refreshed and felt different when he started to do things.

The cottage has entered the right track, and with the help of Cheng Yu, Tian Feng and Xia Houlan, Chen Xu rarely manages other affairs except for martial arts practice every day.

In this way, he passed leisurely for more than half a month.

In the past half a month, he has tossed with Zhang Ling every night for half a night before he is willing to sleep.

Chen Xu sometimes even thinks that if life can go on like this, it will not be a very beautiful thing.

Gentle Township, sometimes it's really a hero's mound.

Chen Xu was in the house every night, making such a big movement. The gossip people in the cottage have long known what their lord is doing.

Fortunately, even the saints once said, "Chromophobia is also." ”

Then there is naturally nothing for everyone to talk about the lord who carries out the man-making movement every day. Instead, they hoped that Zhang Ling could get pregnant as soon as possible and give birth to a son and a half daughter for Chen Xu.

For a group, not having an heir can be regarded as a big drawback.

Since the Yellow Turban Army was entrenched in the Taihang Mountains, it began to recruit displaced people.

On this day, Chen Xu inspected the cottage and suddenly found that there seemed to be a lot of homeless people in the cottage.

Although there are new homeless people joining Dazhai every day, during this time, the number of homeless people who come to the cottage has increased significantly.

Seeing this, Chen Xu felt puzzled in his heart. So he found Cheng Yu and Tian Feng and asked them about his doubts.

Cheng Yu stood aside, thinking.

Tian Feng frowned and said, "Lord, due to the continuous war in Youzhou now, many people came to Taihang Mountain in order to avoid the military disaster. ”

"In the past few months, there have been tens of thousands of more people in the cottage, and if this continues, we may have to build new villages in other mountains."

Chen Xu was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "How can there be a military disaster in Youzhou?" ”

According to the memories of Chen Xu's previous life, coupled with the intelligence of this era, he never knew what was going on in Youzhou.

Tian Feng shook his head and said, "It's a bit exaggerated to say that it's a war. However, the Xianbei people in the north, as well as the Wuhuan people in eastern Liaodong, often raided various counties and counties in Youzhou, resulting in the displacement of many people. ”

It turned out that since Xiqiang began to rebel. Last year, Lu Zhi led troops to quell the rebellion, and he never killed Beigong Boyu and others. So the Son of Heaven was furious and dismissed Lu Zhi from his position.

Later, the imperial court transferred Lu Zhi back to Beijing and sent Sikong Zhang Wen to preside over the counterinsurgency.

Zhang Wen believed that the Qiang cavalry was numerous, and the officers and soldiers on the Xiqiang battlefield did not have an advantage. Therefore, he suggested to Emperor Ling of Han that he dispatch the elite Wuhuan cavalry from Youzhou to Liangzhou to help in the war.

Wuhuan is also known as Karasuma, which was originally a branch of the Donghu tribal alliance, and Xianbei is one of the Donghu tribes.

During the Western Han Dynasty, after the powerful Xiongnu conquered Donghu, the Wuhuan people were forced to move to Wuhuan Mountain (also known as Wumara Mountain), so they named the mountain after the clan.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, most of the Wuhuan people lived in the eastern Liaodong region.

Among them, the Karasuma clan in the three counties of Liaoxi, Liaodong, and Youbeiping are the most powerful, and they even once even claimed their own kings.

The Wuhuan people lived in the territory of the Han Dynasty and were nominally the subjects of the Han Dynasty.

They lived in the northeast of the Han Dynasty and shielded the Han from the harassment of Dongxianbei, Goguryeo, and Buyeo.

It can be said that although the population of Wuhuan is not very large, their cavalry is very elite. Therefore, Zhang Wen wanted to dispatch three thousand cavalry from Youzhou Wuhuan to conquer the rebellion in Liangzhou.

However, the treasury of the Han Dynasty has always been extremely empty, and the Han people have always looked down on those foreign soldiers, so they have never given them money.

Therefore, the Wuhuan people are very resistant to going to Liangzhou desperately.

When the three thousand Wuhuan cavalry first arrived in Jizhong, they led their Han generals and insulted some Wuhuan soldiers.

Because of the insults and the fact that the army had been in arrears, the Wuhuan cavalry actually killed the generals of the Han family and began to raise troops to rebel.

In order to vent, the three thousand Wuhuan cavalry began to burn and loot in Youzhou.

The riots in Youzhou have been going on for several months, but at this time, the Han is deep in the quagmire of the Xiliang rebellion, how can they care about these rebellious Wuhuan cavalry?

Although at the end of last year, the Han Dynasty had already recruited the people of the Xiqiang rebellion. But now the Han treasury is empty and the soldiers are tired, so they still ignore the rebellion of the Wuhuan people.

Since the Xiongnu were defeated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and divided into the northern and southern Xiongnu. The Southern Xiongnu submitted to the Han Dynasty, while the Northern Xiongnu migrated to the west.

With the division of the Xiongnu, Xianbei gradually broke free from the control of the Xiongnu and occupied the vast grasslands in the north.

Although the Xianbei people occupy a large territory, they are divided into many tribes, and they are often at war with each other.

Therefore, the alien races in the north have never posed a threat to the Han family.

But at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a heroic figure in Xianbei, that is, Tanshi Huai.

When he was young, he was brave and resourceful, and rose to prominence among the tribe, and was later elected as the leader of the tribe. He fought in the south and the north all his life, unifying the divided Xianbei.

Later, he established a royal court in Gaoliu Beidanhan Mountain, plundered the border counties in the south, resisted Ding Ling in the north, repelled Fuyu in the east, and attacked Wusun in the west.

After repeated conquests, Xianbei completely occupied the homeland of the Xiongnu and built a huge tribe of more than 14,000 miles from east to west and more than 7,000 miles from north to south.

Since then, Tanshi Huai has begun to eyeing the Han Dynasty, and has always wanted to go south to occupy those fertile lands.

In the second year of Yongshou, Tanshihuai led the army to attack Yunzhong County. After the first year of Yanxi, he led the Xianbei warriors to harass the nine counties on the edge of the Great Wall and the subject states of Liaodong many times.

Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty was worried about Xianbei and was powerful, and wanted to crown Tanshihuai as the king, and wanted to make peace with him. However, instead of being rewarded, Tanshi Huai stepped up its invasion and plundering of the fortresses on the edge of the Great Wall.

Later, he divided the area he occupied into three divisions, each under the command of an adult. Since then, Xianbei has become more powerful.

In August of the sixth year of Xiping, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty sent Xia Yu, the captain of Karasuma, to set off from Gaoliu, to break the Xianbei Zhonglang to set off Tian Yan from the clouds, and the Xiongnu Zhonglang to lead Zang Min to lead the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu to set off from Yanmen.

The three of them each led more than 10,000 cavalrymen, divided their troops into three routes, and went deep into the land of Xianbei for more than 2,000 miles, preparing to fight against Xianbei's arrogance.

Tanshi Huai ordered the leaders of the eastern, central, and western divisions to lead their subordinates to meet the battle. Xia Yu and others suffered a crushing defeat, and even lost all the talisman and baggage, and each led dozens of cavalry to flee for their lives, and the Han army accounted for seven or eight out of ten soldiers killed in the battle.

Of the more than 40,000 elite Han cavalry, less than 8,000 survived. At this point, the Han family could only focus on defense for Xianbei, and no longer dared to take the initiative to enter the army.

Fortunately, in the fourth year of Guanghe, Tanshi Huai died at the age of forty-five, and his son Helian succeeded him.

Although Tanshi Huai is a man with extraordinary strategies and means, his son Helian is a greedy and lustful straw bag.

Although the current Xianbei is nominally at the disposal of Danhan Mountain, in fact, the leaders of many tribes have different intentions and are ready to move.

For this reason, He Lian has always wanted to invade the Han Dynasty and fight a beautiful victory, so as to deter those tribes with two ambitions.

But the Wuhuan people in Youzhou have always been willing to be the lackeys of the Han family. Although the Wuhuan tribe is not as strong as Xianbei, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

This rebellion of the Wuhuan people just allowed Helian to find an opportunity, so he began to send tribal warriors to raid Youzhou.

He Lian likes the fine porcelain of the Han people, the gentle women like water, and the beautiful silk.

Whether it's to intimidate other tribes or to satisfy his own desires, it is necessary for him to wage a war.

The current raids are just to throw stones to ask for directions. If the Han family really didn't have the strength to stop Xianbei Erlang's southward march, he wouldn't mind launching a full-scale war and occupying the entire Youzhou.

The rebellion of the Wuhuan people, coupled with the frequent raids of the Xianbei people, made the people of Youzhou miserable.

Many Han Chinese died under the butcher's knife of foreign races, and many women were taken captive by them and turned into lowly slaves.

People's homes were looted and their relatives were slaughtered. In desperation, they had no choice but to leave their homeland and flee to other places with their families.

Many people in the east of Youzhou fled into Jizhou, and the people in the west fled into the Taihang Mountains.

The Taihang Mountains stretch for more than 800 miles, and the Yellow Turban Army only occupies a section in the middle of the Taihang Mountains.

Chen Xu listened carefully to Tian Feng's words, and there were huge waves in his heart.

He has always set his sights on the Central Plains in the past, but he has forgotten the great trouble of Huaxia.

After the Jin Dynasty, the five Hu people were chaotic, and the Han people became the two-legged sheep of the Hu people, and life was worse than death. The number of people who died under their butcher's knives was even more innumerable, which caused the population of the entire Han Dynasty to plummet, almost to the point of destroying the country and extinction.

Thinking of this, Chen Xu clenched his fists fiercely.

"My lord, whether I go down the mountain to the west to take the state or the east to take Youzhou, we will inevitably fight with the powerful Xianbei in the north."

"Not only that, whether it is the Wuhuan people in Youzhou or the Huns in Bingzhou, they are also the objects we need to pay attention to."

"These two states all border with foreign races in the north, and the situation is not optimistic. If we don't prepare early, these Hu people will definitely become a stumbling block to the development and growth of our Yellow Turban Army one day. ”

Chen Xu came from later generations, and no one knew better than him the harm of these Hu people to Huaxia.

"Perhaps, I shouldn't have been hiding in the mountains and waiting for the world to change."

"I want the Yellow Turban soldiers under my tent to gallop on the northern steppes to save those compatriots who are exposed to the iron horses of the Hu people."

Chen Xu's thoughts were flying, and there was a bright light in his eyes.
