"My family Langjun is invited. (Please search, update the fastest fiction website!)" At this time, a voice sounded in the ears of 6 Haruka. It was the crossbow-wielding guard at noon who spoke.
6 Yao was stunned, then remembered to answer, got up and went with him.
Pei Langjun laid a felt blanket on a high place dozens of feet away from the campsite, and met 6 Yao there. At this time, he changed into a goose-yellow robe, lined with a white silk shirt, and tied a jade belt around his waist. The two pearls on the jade belt shine, showing great grace and luxury. There are also beautiful maids holding incense burners and waiting.
He reclined on the Hu bed, pointed at 6 Yao with the jade ruyi in his hand, and asked casually, "What's your name?" β
This is a very arrogant and rude question. Because of the difference between the scholars of this dynasty, and the status of the soldiers is even lower, as a son of the scholar clan, he is willing to talk face-to-face with 6 Yao, which is already enough to give the other party. And 6 Yao must pay a big bow before answering, otherwise it will be a rude act of Yan zhΓ²ng, and the scholars can be punished on the spot.
6 Haruka couldn't help but sigh in his heart. I thought that my unbending character had been tempered by a cruel life, but when I came to a thousand years ago, when I faced this strict feudal hierarchy, I still felt extremely uncomfortable.
A thought flashed in his heart, but 6 Yao's actions did not lag at all. In the memory of the 6 Haruka of this era, clearly told sΓΉ what he should do. He lifted the corner of his clothes and knelt down on the ground: "The military master of the state 6 Yao, I have seen Pei Langjun." Thank you Lang Jun for saving me. β
"Dun" means kneeling with both hands on the ground, leading the head to the ground, and rising up slightly. This is the more formal of the nine prostrations described in the Zhou rites, and the solemn ritual is second only to the ritual used to meet the king and worship the ancestors. 6 Yaoxing is like a ritual, the body is like a fold, such as a balance of balance, and every detail of behavior is meticulous. Because he has already stated that it is to thank him for saving his life, such a great gift does not seem to be condescending, but reveals an attitude of neither humility nor arrogance.
6 Yao is tall and tall, and his appearance is barely handsome, although the scars on his face make his demeanor a little terrifying, but with his cold eyes, he reveals a resolute texture. And his actions are naturally in accordance with the rules of etiquette, showing that he is by no means an ordinary and ignorant soldier.
Pei Langjun couldn't help but feel that it was not appropriate to treat the person in front of him too slowly. He sat up straight, bowed back, and the condescending arrogance in his words was reduced a lot: "Raul who raised his hand, General 6 does not need to be polite." β
"It's a miracle that the general was still a dying man covered in blood at noon, and he was able to move without hindrance at this moment." He said with interest.
6 Haruka replied lightly: "There is Lao Langjun worried. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his physique is still healthy, and every time he is injured, he always heals faster than ordinary people. β
Pei Langjun nodded slightly and said, "I see...... 6 General, a person from Sizhou, came to join his relatives in Bingzhou. On the way, he was plagued by Hu cavalry, and there was no way forward, so he wanted to return to his hometown. It's just that a sleepy night is worried about the safety of relatives and friends in the state, and it is difficult to sleep. 6 General, can you tell me what the battle is like ahead? and the situation in the state...... To what extent? β
6 Yao had no reason to refuse this request, he sighed and responded: "The current situation in the annexation of the state can be described as a boiling and precarious situation. β
"What?" Everyone, including Pei Langjun, took a breath of cold air at the same time. Their way north was blocked by the Hu people, and they had long been pessimistic about the situation in Bingzhou, but 6 Yao's assertion was still difficult for them to accept.
Pei Langjun said suspiciously: "There is a large clan in the state, with tens of thousands of armor, and the danger of mountains and rivers. Although there was a rebellion by the Huns, after all, it was just a mustard disease. 6 Isn't the general's remark too alarmist? β
"Lang Jun doesn't know. Just a few days ago, 30,000 soldiers of the Bingzhou Army were annihilated in Daling, and the elite soldiers who had been entangled for decades were wiped out. Dongying Gong sat in the Huguan and did not know whether he was alive or dead. The so-called tens of thousands of clouds with armor are already a thing of the past. β
A guard standing behind Pei Langjun couldn't help but interject: "General 6, did you see this with your own eyes?" β
No wonder he questioned it. Although there have been frequent border troubles since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, it is still extremely rare to lose tens of thousands of horses in World War I. This kind of tragic defeat will inevitably lead to earth-shaking changes in the shape of the frontier. And for the current weakened center of the imperial court, such a huge loss is almost irreparable.
For Pei Langjun himself, if the Jin army really suffered such a crushing defeat, he would not only have to return to Luoyang as much as possible, but also had to make preparations for many things. 6 Whether Haruka's reply is true or not is very important.
6 Yao Yao said suddenly: "It's not just what you see with your own eyes, it's your own experience!" β
Pei Langjun coughed lightly and stopped the guard's questioning. He smiled and said politely: "General 6, since you are the commander of the Bingzhou Army, you must know the story of the Battle of Daling. Can you tell me about it? β
6 Yao bowed and said, "I'll try to say it." β
He took a branch and drew a simple topography of Bingzhou on the ground: "The rebellion of Bingzhou originated from the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu Dadan Yu Liu Yuan raised his army in the first year of Yongxing, and his sphere of influence probably included the western part of the Xihe Kingdom centered on Lishi and the southern part of Shangdang centered on Liting. These two places are high mountains and dense forests, and the terrain is complex, Liu Yuan relied on them to fight against the imperial court, although Mu Monkey and the crown claimed to be the King of Han, in fact, he was a mountain thief. β
"This year, there was a great hunger in the state, and the Huns were short of food and grass. Liu Yuan had to lead the army to eat in Li Pavilion and rely on the mansion to store food to survive. The Duke of Dongying took advantage of this opportunity to attack the Xiongnu, and all the armies of the state were dispatched, with a total of 42,000 troops, known as 200,000, and the army was mighty and powerful for decades in the north. β
"Dongying's father-in-law led 10,000 elite soldiers to garrison Huguan, and sent the general Pu Mo to lead the elite cavalry southward to threaten the Xiongnu Shan Yuting in Liting; Nie Xuan, the general of the shooting, led an army of 10,000, and Chen Yong, the captain of the Yue cavalry, led more than 10,000 troops as a successor, and went south from Taiyuan to attack Xicheng and other places, blocking the Xiongnu reinforcements from Lishi; Wuwei general Chun Yuluo led 10,000 troops, and took Jiexiu directly through Qi County and Jingling, intending to cut the Xiongnu Han Kingdom into two sections. β
Pei Langjun muttered: "This three-way combined attack strategy is indeed designed for the weakness of the Huns. If I were Liu Yuan, I would be in a hurry. Why do powerful troops and effective tactics fail? β
"Our army marches in three directions, and it seems to be a great momentum, but the main generals are not subordinate to each other, and the armies have no cooperation; The huge force is scattered on the wide front from Daling to Xijian, and it is also difficult to effectively control it. Dong Yinggong exaggerated his strength and spread a net in an attempt to intimidate the enemy army and make him cowardly before fighting. However, the Xiongnu Dadan Yu Liu Yuan was proficient in the art of war, and he seized the flaws of our army and counterattacked violently. Its strategy is nothing more than to concentrate superior forces and defeat the enemy individually. β
"Although Liu Yuan's strength is far less than the total number of the Bingzhou army, it has enough advantages for every way of our army. He took advantage of his internal operations and concentrated all his forces to attack instead of defending. first feigned defeat and lured the enemy, causing Nie Xuan to fall into an ambush in Daling. After defeating Nie Xuan, he took advantage of the victory to attack Chen Yong's department. β
"Because Nie Xuan was defeated too quickly, when the Hun cavalry assaulted, Captain Chen Yong's men and horses did not even enter the state of imminent battle...... "6 Yao himself was a subordinate of Captain Chen Yong of the Yue Cavalry. Chen Yong's 10,000 horses were only concerned about the march, and they did not even send scouts, and finally they were attacked by the Xiongnu without warning, and they were instantly defeated. This scene really made him cry and laugh.
He said helplessly: "Since the overall situation has overturned, I, as a small army master, can only lead the troops and fight and retreat." We broke through to the east along the turbid Zhangshui, intending to move closer to Huguan, but on the way we learned that the troops of the Wuwei general Chun Yuluo had also been defeated by the Xiongnu, and there were no survivors who were lucky enough to steal the living. The bones of the soldiers who died in battle were piled up, and I saw them with my own eyes. And at night, hordes of wild wolves roam the plains, chewing on the corpses! β
Speaking of this, 6 Haruka's tone gradually became heavy. In the process of narrating, he also recalled the experience of the brothers who got along day and night in front of him one by one, and this kind of psychological pressure is not something that others can imagine. Perhaps the battle-hardened military master of the state army can calmly face this pain, but for the company employee 6 Haruka, who has been awake for less than half a day, it takes strong willpower to suppress the fluctuations of affection.
"Except for the army of the Duke of Dongying at Huguan, most of the strength of the state army has been annihilated. After that, the Huns pursued in a big way, and our remnants of the defeated army were entangled with the enemy for several days, and finally suffered all the casualties, and the rest of the situation is not exhaustive. 6Haruka threw the branch and sighed.
Pei Langjun and his guards seemed to be infected by 6 Yao, and they were speechless for a while. After a long time, Pei Langjun slowly spoke, and no longer talked about the situation in the state, but said: "The 6th Army Master is really a person who knows the soldiers, and his analysis of the battlefield shape is very incisive. Although I don't know anything about the military, I feel that I can hear it clearly. β
6 He gave a salute with his hand to show that he did not dare to praise him.
"If what the 6th army lord said is true, then the Xiongnu power will be blazing, and the situation in the annexed states will soon be out of control. Lang Jun, we must return to Luoyang as soon as possible. One of the guards said anxiously.
Everyone knows that what 6 Haruka said must be true. In the current dangerous situation, if you move a little slowly, you are likely to fall into the net of the Huns. In case Pei Langjun fails, everyone will die and not atone for their sins.
Pei Langjun rubbed his hand at Yu Ruyi, his eyes were looking forward to it, revealing a thoughtful expression, but he didn't reply.
So everyone didn't dare to say more, and waited with bated breath.
When the birds were silent, there was a sudden sound of gold and iron in the mountains and forests far away in the north!
"There are enemies!" The guards changed color.
