Chapter 198 Chapter 6 Famous generals

History will not remember the details, only the results, but the common people will remember your grace of life.Simon's number one player, you deserve it! If there is really a so-called end of the world and absolute genocide in this world, then the seven or eight years of the Baicang calendar is definitely the year closest to death.In the spring of this year, Yan Xun continued to fight fiercely with Zhao Che in the North and Zhuge Yue in Qinghai as usual. Huai Song, the territory of Dayan, also clashed with Bian Tang many times. In full swing.All the people are engrossed in the civil war and enjoy it, but they don't know that a powerful and evil force has stretched out its hands and feet to them in the birthplace of Dayan.

On the ninth day of April 788 in the Baicang calendar, a news that shocked the entire continent shattered the common people of Simon who had just passed six years of peaceful life... Bian Tang's rebel Princess Jing'an led three thousand soldiers and horses and secretly sneaked into Meilin Pass On the night and early morning of the 8th day of April, the Quan Rong people who had been ambushing outside the pass should join forces to capture the checkpoint, open the gate of Meilin Pass, and let the Quan Rong people enter the pass.All the officers and soldiers of Meilin Pass, totaling more than 28,000 people, collectively died for the country, and none of them survived.

At the same time, another news spread across the entire continent at a fast speed. The Princess Jing'an, who has been hiding behind the scenes and few people know her true identity, suddenly stepped forward under the protection of the Quanrong people, and declared her independence as the princess of Daxia's direct line. Under the banner of recovering the Xia family and avenging the former emperor, he sent troops eastward. And Nayan, the Great Khan of the Dog Rong, also sang the slogan of maintaining the orthodoxy of the royal family of the allies and annihilating the rebels, and swung his troops to the east with great arrogance.

This is the third time Zhao Chun'er has appeared on the stage of history. The first time was on May 20, 1775, the bloody wedding in Zhenhuang City. As a bride, Zhao Chuner became famous because of her fiancé-in-law Yan Xun, and became the laughing stock of the whole world.That year, she was sixteen years old. The second time was on the first day of September of the same year, after Yan Xun defected, Yanbei declared independence, and Daxia was eager to marry Bian Tang for political reasons.After the nine princesses of Daxia were repatriated by Li Ce, Zhao Chun'er went to Tang alone, and as the conjugal princess of Daxia, she stepped into the royal family of Bian Tang.However, in the end, he was expelled from the country for maliciously creating unclean incidents and inciting a mutiny in the Central Army.Unwilling, with the help of Luo Wang, who was still hidden in the past, she joined forces with Zhong Peng, a general of Bian Tang, to conspire to raise troops in Meishan Imperial Mausoleum, intending to rebel, but Li Ce, who was still the prince at the time, finally saw through.Since then, there has been no news of this woman.

Until this time, thirteen years later, she once again made a high-profile appearance as Princess Bian Tang Jing'an, opened the Meilin Pass, borrowed 800,000 troops from the grassland aliens, and personally went into battle, letting dogs, tigers, and wolves ravage the Central Plains. No matter how many years later, recalling that battle back then, it was an extremely terrible disaster.Even the first-class famous generals in the mainland, such as Zhuge Yue, Zhao Che and Yan Xun, did not expect the situation to turn so quickly in the early stages of this turmoil.After all, when he just got the news, Zhuge Yue's thought was: "Instead of waiting for these people to call, it's better to get rid of them earlier and blackmail some military expenses from Yan Xun."

No one thought that the war would be so tragic. When it comes to Quan Rong, perhaps everyone's first impression is a country bumpkin with well-developed limbs.For thousands of years, this sturdy nation has been cruising outside the Meilin Pass. They gallop on horses and live in water and grass. They have no fixed place, no city, no unified political power, no advanced equipment, and no Excellent commander.When they fought, basically the leader led a group of herdsmen to charge on horseback. When they encountered weak ones, they rushed to fight them, and when they encountered strong enemies, they turned around and ran away.

So when it comes to them, almost all Eastern Army officers will disdainfully call them country bumpkins. But no one has seriously thought about it. From the independence of Yanbei in 775, to the collapse of the Great Xia in 782, and to the continuous small-scale civil wars in the past six years, Simon has spent thirteen years in troubled times. It's cold and hot.On the other hand, Quanrong lived quietly for thirteen years, except for small-scale looting, no major war broke out. Thirteen years later, the grass on the prairie turned yellow and green again, and the young children learned to ride horses and wield knives. The blood of war had been dormant for thirteen years, and they finally started to move again.

Meilin Pass became a thoroughfare, and dog soldiers and cavalry poured in overwhelmingly. The army array was like a sea, swords and guns were like a forest, war horses neighed wildly, and sharp arrows rained like rain.The magnificent army and the dust in its heyday caused the defenders of several cities near Meilin Pass to collapse without a fight, abandoning the city and fleeing. On April 13th, the six major tribes of Quanrong, Hongdi, Huangmang, Lanxiang, Brown Blood, Baishang, and Heishui arrived at Meilin Pass and assembled with the first four tribes to set off. On April 15th, The Nayan Department of the Inurong Great Khan arrived in Meilin.All eleven tribes of the Inu Rong have arrived, with a population of more than 1.5 million.

Before the bloodstains of the Dayan soldiers were wiped clean, the Dog Rong army had already entered the heart of the city.The people hid at home tremblingly, and no one dared to make a sound, for fear of angering these evil stars from the north.But because there were too many troops to settle in the city, Toha, the third prince of the Quanrong people, ordered his own soldiers to kill some civilians and clean out hundreds of houses for him. It was this order that started the bloody nightmare at Meilin Pass.For a while, the leaders of other tribes followed suit. By the time Nayan Minglie knew all this, it was too late, and there was no longer a living civilian in the entire Meilin Pass.

For ten days in a row, Zhao Chun'er and his subordinates lived in the General Military Mansion of Meilinguan. The sounds of fighting, screams, cursing, burning fire, and the crying of the woman when she was raped pierced the tranquility of the night. , The ear-piercing spread spread to every corner of the city. Her subordinate asked palely: "Princess, those prairie people are crazy, they are massacring civilians." Zhao Chun'er sat in the darkness expressionlessly, as if she hadn't heard what he said, quietly, without saying a word. Zhao Chun'er didn't know, but in the conference hall where she didn't want to, the Quanrong people spread out the map and started planning to divide the spoils of Simon's land. They broke through the Meilin Pass, and the land in front of them was completely within their reach.Eleven tribal chiefs fought blushingly, and finally, under the coordination of King Nayan Khan, they finally reached an agreement.At daybreak, the tribal leaders rushed out of Meilin Pass with their respective troops, rushing towards the colorful world that they had longed for hundreds of years.

Among all the forces including the territory of Huai Song Dynasty, Qinghai was the first to stand up with a clear-cut stand and stated that it would definitely mobilize all forces to help Dayan resist the military regime of Quanrong. When everyone was watching, waiting, and thinking, the Qinghai Shuangwang first assembled the army at Cuiwei Pass, withdrew all the soldiers who were fighting Dayan, and moved northward to attack Dayan's Beishuo Pass. military support. At the same time, Qinghai divided its troops into three groups, Qinghai King Zhuge Yue led the main force to support Beishuo, General Yue Qi took Zhuge Yue's letter to Beidi, and Xiuli Wang Chuqiao secretly came to Bian Tang to discuss the matter of jointly dispatching troops. On the third day of May, Zhao Che agreed to Zhuge Yue's proposal and led his troops to the Yanbei plateau.And Yan Xun, the Emperor of Yan, even opened the door of the country with peace of mind, allowing this formidable enemy who usually hated him to walk into his own country swaggeringly. And as early as three days ago, Tang Emperor Li Xiuyi had authorized the assistant minister, Sun Di, to cooperate with Xiuli Wang Chuqiao to set off from Tanghu Pass with Bian Tang's 200,000 troops. This is really too ridiculous a thing, if there is no such thing, I am afraid the world would not have thought that such a day would happen.In the past six years, the forces of the four parties have been fighting endlessly. There is a small battle every ten days, and a big battle every month. They hate each other and gnash their teeth.But who would have thought that they would join forces to resist the enemy one day. Whether it is contemporary or later generations, no one can deny the role played by King Bian Tang Xiuli in this matter. She used to be the master of Shang Shen, the patron saint of the Yanbei Plateau, the first confidant of the Emperor Yan, and the general of the Yanbei who kept the million-strong army of Great Xia out of the gate of Beishuo.But now she is the wife of the King of Qinghai, and the assistant prince of Bian Tang. Her husband is close friends with Zhao Che, the ruler of the Northern Great Xia, and most of her generals are from the Shangshen Plateau. Moreover, in the general situation where the dog army sent troops to commit crimes in the East, the Great Xia of the Northland was watching with helplessness, the royal family of the Bian and Tang Dynasties were watching with cold eyes, and the territory of the Huai Song Dynasty had ulterior motives.She is the only one who clearly and accurately foresees the development of the entire battle situation in the future, clearly recognizes the wolf ambitions and fierce tigers of the Inurong people, calmly abandons all past grievances, conducts correct strategic thinking, and can actively run for it, contact All forces. All of these are destined to be the best coordinator of this coalition force, and only she can quell conflicts and contradictions in all aspects, temporarily suppress those doubts that will never disappear, and promote a situation that is at least superficially passable. joint group. The inexhaustible relationship among them can really make any smartest person feel like a big head.Unfortunately, she did. When they got the news that Bian Tang, Qinghai, and Beidi Daxia sent troops at the same time, the seven orifices of the dog army sweated like a king. It was not that they hadn't thought about this situation before they attacked Meilin Pass, but all the tribal leaders at that time put it into action. smile. Just a joke, who doesn't know the relationship between the three parties and Yan Xun, it would be nice if they didn't come out at the critical period to delay and stab the knife, and they came to join the battle? But the truth is so cruel, the reality is before our eyes, ruthlessly shattering the fantasies of these prairie people to wipe out Dayan within one month, wipe out Simon within two months, and dominate Donglu within half a year. Frustrated and angry, the Quanrong people started killing even more frantically, and the cavalry pierced Yanbei's heart like a sharp knife. On May 23rd, Beishuo Pass once again became the focus of the entire Simon. The forces of the four countries gathered in Huoleiyuan, with a force of 1.2 million. Before the start of the war, the coalition forces elected their commander-in-chief. Dayan naturally proposed Yan Xun without hesitation, Qinghai was Zhuge Yue, and the Northland was divided into two forces. Although Zhao Yang, the emperor of Bian Tang, Li Xiuyi did not come, Sun Di also reported his name, saying that he could fly pigeons to pass letters every day, and asked His Majesty to give him advice on clever combat strategies. All kinds of opinions were deadlocked for a while, and the staff officers and diplomatic officers of all parties almost quarreled with the tents. They failed to reach a consensus for two days in a row.In the end, Sun Di couldn't bear it anymore and suggested that Xiuli Wang Chuqiao be the commander-in-chief of the battle, and all the discussions were immediately silenced. Although Chu Qiao is the princess of Qinghai, in name, she is the assistant prince of Bian Tang after all.With the relationship between her and Li Xiuyi, coupled with the record of protecting Tang Jing back then, everyone in the Tang Dynasty naturally agreed.Qing Hai thought for a while, and Zhuge Yue generously chose to support his wife.Zhao Che followed closely behind and seconded Zhuge Yue. Zhao Yang participated in it before because he didn't want Zhao Che and Yan Xun to take advantage of it, so he naturally agreed at this moment.Only Dayan, on the morning of the second day after the proposal, expressed Emperor Yan's opinion: "No objection." As a result, this grand and dazzling coalition army composed entirely of elites was immediately merged into Chu Qiao's command.Among the phalanx formed by 1.2 million men, the person who sits in the camp of the Chinese army is actually a woman. Beginning on May 25th, the Beishuo defensive battle was fully launched. Chu Qiao mobilized 600,000 troops and 500,000 civilians, and began to build a defensive line along the Sunset Mountains.She designed various ditches and pits, along the Sunset Mountain all the way to Beishuo City, and military defense lines were dotted all over the entire land. When Quanrong's vanguard arrived, the third prince Toha was so shocked that he couldn't even close his mouth.Looking at the spectacular defensive belt in front of him, his first reaction was that the opponent went crazy. With such a military defense, no one would seek death to attack, so the third prince Toha naturally took another path... Chidu. It cannot be said that Toha is not smart, after all, facing such a defensive belt, no one has the guts to attack. But what Toha doesn't know is that behind this seemingly vast and terrifying defensive belt, there are only half a million civilians. They don't have a knife or a gun. Stomp your feet and kick up a cloud of dust. That's all. But in that small Chidu City, 800,000 troops are ambushing at this moment, waiting for his arrival. It was certain to be besieged. After three consecutive days of fighting, the 100,000 people in the Toha headquarters quickly declined to 40,000. Blood spread throughout the Chidu River Estuary, and the river was stained red, making it undrinkable for many days. Toha, who had no food reserves, fell into a dilemma. The various forces of the coalition took turns to fight, dragging Toha's soldiers almost to death. Finally on the fifth day, Toha's army sent a messenger and decided to surrender. However, the order from the Chinese army camp surprised everyone. Chu Qiao ordered that Prince Toha's surrender would not be accepted unless they offered Toha's head first to comfort the souls of the 200,000 soldiers and civilians in Meilin Pass. Toha was furious and fought again, but he couldn't escape the siege after all. Two days later, he was killed by his own soldiers at night, and his subordinates collapsed without a fight, and were all captured by the coalition forces. This is the first victory of the Eastern Army since the dog army entered the east! With bold tactics and super courage, Chu Qiao surrounded a hundred thousand troops and raped them.With absolute superiority and weak casualties, 70,000 enemies were beheaded, 30,000 prisoners were captured, and the head of the enemy army leader was beheaded, achieving a complete victory in this battle. When the news was sent back to Simon, no matter which country the people were from, they all clapped their hands and celebrated. That night, Zhao Che sat in Chu Qiao and Zhuge Yue's big tent in Qinghai, had a full drink, respected Chu Qiao from a distance and said, "You deserve the title of the number one general in Ximeng." On the second day, Chu Qiao rectified the army and withdrew back to Beishuo. In front of the huge defensive camp, she waited quietly for the dog cavalry who were eyeing him. She hung Toha's head in front of the army and waited quietly for the dog army The Great Khan... Nayan Minglie! Suddenly, there was an urgent sound of gongs and drums in the Quan Rong army, flags were waving everywhere, orderers ran in a hurry, and the commander on the horse shouted with anxiety on his face. Flustered, very flustered. Zhuge Yue raised his eyebrows, lightly kicked the horse's belly, and the cavalry made way for him like a tide.The armor is like ink, the earth is covered with gold, and the man in green fur is as handsome as a god's mansion on the Tianshan Mountain. Behind him stands a huge snow-capped peak, towering and undulating like the sea.The wind blows from a distance, blowing the hair on his temples, his eyes are deep and silent, his lips are red, evil and noble, like a wolf king on a snowy field. He rode forward, looked intently, and frowned slightly. The battle has just started, what is it that can make the always tough and conceited Quan Rong so flustered? "King! On the west side of Sunset Mountain, a large number of Yanbei cavalry were found approaching rapidly." The scouts rushed over, the horseshoes smashed the snow foam on the ground, and they knelt on the icy ground with their hard knees, reporting loudly. Zhuge Yue frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "How many troops did the other side bring, and who is in command?" "I don't know for now." "Explore again." "yes." The horseshoes rolled, and the two scouts left with the Qinghai seal letter.The crimson sun hangs in the west, the earth is blood red, and the fighting is deafening. After eight consecutive days of siege and pursuit, today is finally the final battle. Someone from Yanbei?Who is it?Shang Shen's battle is over so soon? Zhuge Yue turned around and went back to the big tent, spread out the map and calculated carefully.It was evening, and the light in the tent was dim. He was sitting in front of the table, two candles were quietly burning high, and the sparks were like beans, flickering. This time when the Quanrong people entered the customs, they burned, killed and looted all the way. Fortunately, Yan Xun reacted quickly enough to transfer the people of Yanbei in time, and fortify the walls and clear the fields to wait for the enemy.However, the people of the generation of Meilinguan were not spared, and there were many casualties. Wuting, Guiyu, and Dangrong were massacred, and even newborn babies were killed by the enemy.A spy who went deep into the enemy's rear reported that the twenty-eight cities near Meilinguan had no trace of human habitation, and that everyone in Jiaxi City, regardless of gender, old or young, was hanged by the dog soldiers in a mangrove forest twenty miles outside the city. When he rushed there, he saw thousands of vultures hovering over the forest, tearing up the carrion of the dead. When they heard this, all the generals from Qinghai who dispatched troops this time were present.Even these battle-tested generals turned pale when they heard the news, and they couldn't say a word for a long time.In the end, it was Liang Shaoqing who yelled in horror: "Those people, are they still human?" Of course they are human beings, and they will soon appear alive in front of them brandishing a sword. Zhuge Yue couldn't help but think of what Chu Qiao said when he left Qinghai.She said that this was not an ordinary battle, not a battle between the dog Rong people outside the Great Wall and Yanbei Yanxun, but the impact of one culture on another, a bloody massacre launched by barbarism against civilization.In this war, no one will benefit from others, and no one can be left behind.Once the Quanrong people gained the upper hand, even if they could get some sweet soil and benefits after Yanbei weakened in the end, they would have to pay ten times and a hundred times the price for it. At that moment, he suddenly understood deeply. When disaster strikes, any internal strife is tantamount to self-destruction of the Great Wall.In the face of fierce dog cavalry and cruel combat methods, no one can be alone, and no one can sit back and enjoy the benefits. The defense of Beishuo achieved an unexpected victory, and the artillery invented by Chu Qiao when defending Chidu played a huge role. The battle lasted for half a month, and the Quanrong people suffered heavy casualties.Finally, the Black Water Department was the first to be defeated, and Xiao Dahan, the leader of the Black Water Department, led his troops to abscond, exposing the left wing of the dog army to the offensive of the coalition forces.Chu Qiao seized the opportunity, smashed their flank defense cloth, pierced the entire left defense line, blocked it from the central army, and completely paralyzed it.Taking advantage of the trend to attack again, the Quanrong people were finally defeated half a month later, and the remaining 700,000 troops, led by various ministries, scattered and fled hastily like a plague. Chu Qiao immediately ordered that the coalition forces be divided into Qinghai, Bian Tang, Northern Zhao Che, Northern Zhao Yang, Huai Song, Dayan and Yanbei local defenders. . The war zone that Zhuge Yue was in charge of was the Sunset Mountain Range, which was also one of the centers of gravity of the Yanbei Plateau. "Report..." The scouts turned around quickly all the way, and the scout immediately turned over and jumped down, holding something in his hand, and said loudly: "My lord, the battle of Shang Shen's generation is not over yet, this time the Yan army only came with 3,000 cavalry. Emperor Yan." "Yan Xun?" Zhuge Yue raised his eyebrows, looked down, and the scout was holding Yan Xun's golden arrow. He looked at the arrow calmly, frowned slightly, and remained silent.Liang Shaoqing stood beside him and said, "Why did he come? He only brought so few people with him?" "Immediately send an order to General Yueqi to send two more cavalry troops to attack the main account of the Quan Rong people. In any case, we must find out the identity of the leader of the Quan Rong army." "yes!" The sky gradually darkened, the night was already deep, the fighting sounded like thunder, the moon rose and then gradually set.The whole night, Zhuge Yue sat in the tent without resting. Before dawn, the battle report on the 7th of the month finally came. It is almost 8 times certain that the person sitting in the camp of the Quanrong Central Army this time is the current King Quanrong Khan. The corners of Zhuge Yue's mouth curled up, and he smiled faintly, no wonder, it turned out that the wolf king was here, no wonder Yan Xun wanted to take action himself, and came with elite soldiers. "Prepare armor!" Zhuge Yue stood up, and his personal guards immediately prepared the armor and battle robe for him. The king of Qinghai was wearing a blue armor, an iron gray cloak, and a sword in his hand, as he stepped on his horse.The whistle of the bugle sounded immediately, and Liang Shaoqing ran out from his big tent, grabbed his horse rein excitedly, and shouted: "Your Highness, you must not be stupid, Xiao Qiao specially ordered you not to charge into the battle." of!" Zhuge Yue looked at him helplessly, waved his hands to the left and right, and immediately someone came up and drove the Grand Master Liang to the big tent. "You, you, you are too trustworthy! What you said doesn't count! Xiao Qiao will scold me to death!" The shout was as shrill as a pig being slaughtered, and even the soldiers who were fighting on the battlefield were shocked when they heard it. Zhuge Yue quietly turned his head to look at the red-lit battlefield in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go." The army roared past, and thousands of troops and horses galloped in unison. But at this moment, not far away, someone came to Yan Xun's side and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the King of Qinghai has personally brought his troops here." "yes?" Yan Xun responded lightly, then raised his eyebrows, for some reason, he was tainted with a youthful and handsome spirit.He said in a firm tone: "We must take down King Quanrong Khan before the Qinghai Navy." "The general obeys orders!" The army marched out quickly, hooves sounded like thunder, billowing smoke and dust.
