Chapter 114: Dragon City (1)
The sixth day of July in the first year of Yongjia. Chenshi.
The distance between the bandits is still extremely far. On the vast plain, there were sharp whistles one after another, and the scout cavalry sent by both sides were chasing each other within a depth of dozens of miles, competing with each other for horsemanship and bravery.
The scouts on both sides are teams of three or five, and there are also high-skilled and daring choices who choose to go it alone. They were not armoured, and relied on their speed advantage to repeatedly outflank and 'insert' forward, trying to get close to the enemy's own team to observe. When the scout cavalry of the opposing sides meet, a fierce battle will immediately break out. Until the victor chops off the head of his opponent and hangs it in front of the saddle, continuing his reconnaissance.
Over time, the scale of the battle will gradually increase. From three to five to three or five, it gradually rose to dozens of horses to dozens of horses. And when the warriors of the hundred cavalry scale were put into the battlefield, the large-scale decisive battle officially began. But it was still early at the moment, and both the Jin army and the Chang bandits were patiently waiting for the news that the scouts had gathered back.
In the Jin army's main team, the generals led by Lu Yao were gathering in the big tent to start a military discussion.
Maybe it's because everyone is a veteran of a hundred battles, and no one is particularly nervous about the imminent war. Lu Yao ordered the servants to set up a small fire pit in the shade outside the tent, and the generals sat around the fire pit, talking and roasting horse 'meat' to eat. This is not a small stove for the generals, but because of the continuous battle for several 'days', a lot of war horses have died, so the whole army and soldiers have eaten the horse 'meat' violently, and their mouths are full of oil and their faces are red.
After the battle losses and integration of previous battles, at this moment, Lu Yao's subordinates accounted for a considerable proportion of the Hu clan in northern Xinjiang. Most of those Hu warriors lived in poverty, and they regarded the dead war horses as precious materials, horse 'meat' could be eaten, horse skins could be made into clothes and armor, and even bones could be ground into bone needles or various utensils. The life of eating 'meat' like this now is already a paradise for these simple-minded Hu warriors.
Lu Yao sat on the edge of the fire, used a knife to cut the horse's 'meat' into strips, controlled the blood and water, and hung it on the iron drill to bake. Wait until the meat is half-cooked and the aroma is emanating, then put the meat strips in a large bowl and sprinkle with coarse salt. When the rectification was almost finished, he took a large one and chewed it himself, and passed the bowl to Xue Tong casually. Xue Tong grabbed a few of them, and then passed them to Ding Miao.
After three passes and two deliveries, it was in the hands of Hu Liuniang. Hu Liuniang was about to explain the details of Chang Shan Thief to everyone, she picked up a piece of horse 'meat' with her index finger and thumb to take a look, and suddenly 'revealed' a disgusted expression. Lu Yao's cooking skills are very lame, the heat of this 'meat' is obviously not good, a few places are burnt, a few places are not cooked, and there are a lot of charcoal ashes stuck to the 'meat'. She put the horse's meat back in the bowl, got up and said, "General, I'll come." Your craftsmanship is truly ......"
This 'female' master of the green forest, who was independent of the imperial court, was only invited by Wen Qiao to serve as the guide of Lu Yao and others. But in the end, she did too much to contribute to this action. The ruthlessness, decisiveness and boldness shown in these 'days' are far beyond the imagination of the soldiers. Lu Yao and Xue Tong also gave up, and they had already learned the methods of this Hu Dazhai master. The rest of the soldiers were deeply shaken. Gain's beauty is rare, and there is no one in ten thousand who is a 'smart' and capable beauty.
At this moment, seeing that she disliked the poor food, someone took the bowl from her hand diligently: "How can you work the master of Hu Zhai, I come, I come!" ”
It turned out to be Chu Kun. Since this guy witnessed the tragedy of Hu Liuniang cleaning up the "Second Brother Gu" in the square county, he has been respectful to Hu Liuniang, and he rushed forward and backward to take care of him when he had the opportunity. Although everyone looked at his actions, he seemed to be enjoying himself.
Lu Yao is not surprised, after all, Chu Kun is a good 'lust' and Mu Shaoai's age, it is normal to behave anything. He threw the iron drill in the direction of Chu Kun, wiped his hands and sat aside: "Master Hu Zhai, please continue to talk about the Changshan thief." ”
"I want this! This piece! Grilled with heart! Hu Liuniang first selected a few of the most 'fat' and beautiful horse 'meat' for Chu Kun to rectify, and then sat down to continue the previous topic.
"As I said just now, all in all, the green forest has the rules of the green forest, just like our barberry village, although it is not subject to the control of the imperial court, but whether it is killing people and selling goods, or selling iron and 'private' salt, it is the most fair to do things with money. It's like this gang of 'Mao' thieves on Changshan, who are vulgar and violent, and they know how to kill and loot all day long! ”
Although the bandits along the Taihang line all originated from the Black Mountain Army in the late Han Dynasty, the world has changed over the years, and each has a different way of surviving over the decades. In Hu Liuniang's eyes, it is really despicable to know that the Changshan thieves who burn and kill and plunder. The Taihang bandits in the south are now mostly weakened because of the current situation, such as the barberry village, and they are even sent under the fence; She regarded Chang Shan Thief as an alien species, but his voice became more and more powerful, and no one could govern between the three major states of Hebei, You, and He...... This made Hu Liuniang even more angry, so in her speech, she fiercely refuted Chang Shan's thief.
Xue Tong frowned and said: "Daijun was the territory of Tuoba Yibei back then, and Yiyi's wife Wei still leads more than 1,000 people to be stationed in the mountainous area south of Pingshu, which is the orthodoxy of Tuoba Xianbei in the middle of Tuoba Xianbei. Duan Xianbei is strong and ambitious, and it is not easy to deal with. Chang Shan Thief has been so arrogant for decades, which is tantamount to harassing in the backyard of these two families...... Why don't Tuoba and Duan Xianbei raise troops to fight against them? Thinking of the little Changshan thief, it is difficult to resist the blow of the army. ”
"General Xue doesn't know." Hu Liuniang shook her head and said, "If Tuoba is here, it's okay." Now that he is dead, and his subordinates have been annexed by Lu Guan, then the Wei clan can only use the residual power of the past 'day' to scare and scare the small tribes, where do they dare to provoke the Chang bandits? As for the ...... of Duan Xianbei"
She looked at Lu Yao. And Lu Yao nodded and made a gesture of please speak.
Hu Liuniang sighed: "Hehe...... That Chang Bandit is no ordinary bandit! ”
She paused and turned to the other side: "Shao Gong, I don't know if you have ever heard of Murong Nai?" ”
This time, Lu Yao did his best to meet the Changshan thieves, and Shao continued to be a long history, so he naturally accompanied the army for consultation. He is a scholar who is well versed in the way of health preservation, and the 'meat' of roasted horses and the like will never touch his 'lips'. Shicai had only eaten two scones, and was now sitting in the shade of a tree a little farther away, holding a tea bowl and sipping slowly, hoping to eat it.
"Murong Nai?" Hearing Hu Liuniang's inquiry, Shao Xu pondered for a while before saying, "What are you talking about, is it the Murong Nai who raised troops to compete for the position of Murong Xianbei Da Danyu in the past?" ”
Since the great heroes of the Xianbei tribe, Tanshi Huai and Kebineng, died one after another, the Xianbei Alliance distributed outside the thousands of miles was completely divided. There is a Xianbei ethnic group that migrated from the Xianbei hometown in central China to Liaoxi County. Its leader, Mo Huba, admired Sinicization and took "Murong" as his surname. After decades of inheritance, Murong Xianbei gradually became a powerful man in the northern Xinjiang, with clansmen all over the northern border of the Great Jin Dynasty in Liaodong, Liaoxi, Changli, and Beiping counties, and more than 200,000 people controlled the strings.
In the fourth year of Taikang, the patriarch Murong Shegui died of a violent illness. Around the inheritance of the patriarch's position, Murong Xianbei split into two factions. One faction supports Murong Nai, the younger brother of Shegui and a very prestigious member of the clan, and the other faction supports Murong Diao, the eldest son of Shegui.
Murong Nai is not an idle person. This person's 'sexuality' is heroic and powerful, 'fine' and strategic, and he is good at 'shooting' and superior strength, and he was the leading general in Murong Xianbei at that time. With such a reputation, coupled with the fact that brother to brother and brother are common inheritance methods of the Hu people, there are not a few Murong people who support Murong Nai.
However, Murong Nai's opponent, Murong Diao, the son of Shegui, is a rare male lord of Murong Xianbei. Compared with Murong Nai, Murong Diao is not as brave as him, but his power is far superior, and he is a corporal, and he is supported by many people.
In the following two years, the Murong tribe fell into a tragic civil 'strife'. Murong Nai and Murong Diao each gathered supporters to seize the throne by force. The two armies fought hard for a long time, and countless 'elite' Xianbei soldiers died on the battlefield. There is no winner or loser on the battlefield, but the strategy outside the battlefield is Mu? a class="__cf_email__" href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" data-cfemail="9b4614db4f2d513f">[emailprotected]. On a certain 'day' in the sixth year of Taikang, Murong Nai's cronies and subordinates were bribed by Murong Diao with a lot of money, and launched a rebellion when Murong Nai was inspecting Great Thorn City, beheading the old master. Murong Diao immediately unified the Xianbei Murong Department and was awarded the position of "Xianbei Governor" by the imperial court.
Most of the generals and colonels present here are not familiar with the history of Northern Xinjiang. So Shao Xu briefly explained a few words, and finally sighed with emotion: "This Murong Nai is a strongman of the Hu clan in Northern Xinjiang, but unfortunately the destiny is not there, and I met the natural enemy of Murong Diao...... What does the Lord of Hu Zhai mean is that Chang Shan Thief has anything to do with Murong Nai? ”
Hu Liuniang nodded heavily: "Well, the leader of the Changshan thieves is Murong Nai's son, Murong Longcheng." ”
Before the words fell, the tea bowl in Shao Xu's hand almost fell off the ground. He asked with a heavy expression, "Murong Dragon City?" Which Murong Dragon City? “
"Which one else? It's that Murong Dragon City. ”
