Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Xianbei people originated from the ancient Donghu tribe.  After being defeated by the mighty Xiongnu Maodun Shanyu.  They retreated to Wuhuan Mountain and Xianbei Mountain and became the Wuhuan and Xianbei ethnic groups, collectively known as the Donghu ethnic group, also known as Dongyi.  After the Northern Huns moved westward, the Xianbei people quickly moved out to seize the properties left by the Northern Huns and became a new overlord on the northern grasslands.  After ruling the grasslands for more than a hundred years, a famous overlord emerged among the Xianbei people, Tan Shihuai.  Tan Shihuai has extraordinary abilities. From an ordinary tribal leader, he unified the chaotic Xianbei tribes in a short period of time. Subsequently, the Xianbei tribe continued to grow under his leadership.  Tan Shihuai led the powerful Xianbei tribe to resist Dingling in the north, defeat Fuyu in the east, attack Wusun in the west, harass the Han border in the south, and occupy the Xiongnu's homeland, establishing a powerful military alliance.  Like all grassland peoples, Tanshihuai soon sent troops south to plunder the Han lands after basically unifying the grasslands.  Because of the strong military force, too many evil deeds angered the Han Dynasty.  In the sixth year of Xiping, the Han army marched northward from Gaoliu, Yunzhong, Yanmen and other places for more than 2,000 miles to attack Xianbei, but in the end they ended up being wiped out.  This battle destroyed the prestige of the Han army on the grasslands, and indirectly prompted the evil-minded Huns to see clearly the weakness of the Han Dynasty, thus breeding the ambition to rebel.  It has been more than twenty years since the last Northern Expedition to Xianbei.  The tens of thousands of Han troops who were buried in the vast grasslands have long since turned into endless bones. The arrogance and arrogance of the Xianbei people made the Han people along the border miserable.  When Lu Bu was in Bingzhou, he and his subordinate Bingzhou Langqi fought desperately against the Xianbei people.  Until this moment, Gao Yang personally commanded more than 200,000 elite Han troops and once again rushed towards the Xianbei people in the north with a world-dominating momentum.  The powerful army of the Han Dynasty is back!  "Where are these soldiers and horses?" In front of the army formation, Gao Yang, who was dressed in brilliant armor, raised his finger holding a riding crop and pointed at the large number of cavalry surrounded in the distance, and asked doubtfully.  "Back to my lord." Lu Bu, who had regained his composure, saluted respectfully and said, "This is the headquarters of Putou, Dadanghu, Xianbei Left Road." "Oh." Gao Yang responded, and then asked, "Who is he?"  Are you blind? You can't see so many troops here, and you still dare to attack." "Back to my lord, maybe he is really blind." Seeing that the enemy he had fought against in the past was dead.  Lu Bu also made a rare joke.  This place is a grassland a hundred or so north of Gaoliu, the county seat of the Han Dynasty.  Not long after the vanguard troops led by Zhao Yun passed by, a nomadic cavalry force of more than 10,000 people suddenly rushed over from a distance.  Appeared in the sight of Gao Yang personally leading the Chinese army.  The result is very simple.  Such a nomadic cavalry with obvious malicious intent appeared near the central army, which immediately stirred up a hornet's nest.  Hou Cheng, who was in charge of the horse inspections, was taken down on the spot.  There is no getting away with the charge of dereliction of duty.  Hundreds of sentries who were responsible for covering the battlefield during this period were also arrested. What awaited them would be ruthless military law.  It seems that Hou Cheng is unlucky.  It's not like he didn't send out sentries to cover the battlefield.  Just because the victory over the Huns just gave all the Han troops great confidence and morale, it also made them feel arrogant.  In addition, this place is very close to the Han Dynasty, and the arrogant Han army did not think that they would encounter any danger.  Even if any herdsmen did come, they would have been scared away by such a huge military formation early on.  The previous batch of cavalry who covered the battlefield returned, but the hundreds of cavalry who replaced them were still wandering slowly and leisurely on the grassland, and had not yet arrived.  Originally this time difference was not a big deal.  But it was such a coincidence that at this delicate moment, a Xianbei army was so ambitious that the leopard dared to ignore the clouds of flags here and rushed straight over.  Then.  Hou Cheng and the others will be in trouble if they neglect their duties.  "Son of a bitch!!" Hou Cheng, who was tied up by Wu Hua Da, looked at the Xianbei soldiers and horses in the distance who were tightly surrounded by a large number of Han cavalry, widened his eyes, and gnashed his teeth and cursed fiercely!  What a disaster!  He, Hou Cheng, has always been loyal to the court with all his heart, and he also made meritorious deeds when he exterminated the Huns.  How could you have imagined that just because you relaxed a little, you would actually encounter such a thing?  !  Several cold-faced military judges came forward and escorted him to the improvised execution ground.  The executioner, who was broad-shouldered and round-waisted, with his head tied in red cloth, walked up immediately carrying a big knife.  The army is the most ruthless place, especially in a strong army.  In addition, we are in wartime enemy territory.  Hou Cheng, who had the right time, right place, and all the people, committed a serious crime of dereliction of duty. How could he not be used by Gao Yang to scare the monkeys and suppress the arrogance that spread among the army after defeating the Huns???  This actually has something to do with people.  If this kind of thing happened to a military general like Zhao Yun, the most he would receive was a reprimand and a salary penalty from Gao Yang.  Then make meritorious deeds.  Hou Cheng, then Gao Yang could only pinch his nose and say sorry.  "Kill all these bastards!!!" When the executioner raised his hand high and flashed the cold sword, Hou Cheng, whose eyes were full of despair and anger, stared at Xianbei who was surrounded in the distance.  people.  Shout loudly!  "Pfft!" Along with the spurting blood, a big head immediately rolled on the temporary execution platform.  There was warm blood all over the floor.  The head of a middle-level general is enough to cool down the pride of the army.  What's more, there were hundreds of sentry cavalrymen who had neglected their duty and had their trousers removed, exposing their dusty buttocks and being slapped on the ground.  The executions by the army are not like the eunuchs in the palace doing fancy things. They are really hit hard every time!  After a meal, the skin and flesh were torn apart immediately.  After each person was beaten with twenty military rods, these sergeants would have to lie down for several days at least.  If Gao Yang were more cruel, there would be no problem in killing them all according to military regulations!  That is to say, there were many of them, and Gao Yang was not willing to kill so many men at once, so he let them go.  ??Here, kill those who deserve to be killed, and punish those who deserve to be punished.  It was the Xianbei people's turn that suddenly appeared.  First, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and others led a cavalry regiment of 10,000 people to kill them. Then, after receiving the news, the army led by Zhao Yun, the pioneer, turned back and quickly surrounded these Xianbei people.  Arrows are flying.  Swords and guns flashed.  Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses gathered together to form a huge battlefield.  Countless lives quickly disappeared as people screamed and horses neighed.  Facing the Han army, which has an absolute advantage in both quantity and quality.  This Xianbei people appeared out of nowhere and were quickly defeated.  The characteristic of prairie people is to run away when they can¡¯t win.  Once there is nowhere to escape, surrender.  No surprise, after losing three to four thousand men and horses in a short period of time.  The stunned Xianbei people hurriedly expressed their intention to surrender.  An inexplicable battle started quickly.  It ends quickly.  Six to seven thousand Xianbei people dismounted obediently and became prisoners of war, and their leader was also brought to Gao Yang.  "Who are you?" Gao Yang tilted his head slightly and looked at the Xianbei man who was kneeling on the ground and shivering in front of him, and asked with a puzzled look on his face.  He really didn't understand where this stupid young man came from. With so many soldiers and horses on his side, there were still people who foolishly pounced on him.  This is no longer courage.  "The villain is Pu Tou, a big householder on the left side of Xianbei. Meet the general." This Xianbei man who calls himself Pu Tou speaks fluent Chinese.  "Oh." Gao Yang nodded slightly.  After a pause, he then asked, "How courageous are you? You dare to kill such a small number of people. Should I praise you for your bravery, or should I say that you are stupid enough?" Pu Tou lay on the ground obediently, not even moving.  Don't dare to move.  From the corner of his eye, he could see the Han generals around him holding their hands on the handles of their swords!  At this time, Gao Yang could only say whatever he asked.  The actual situation is also very simple.  Putou, who was the main household on the left road of the Xianbei people, was the legitimate son of Tanshihuaai's second son, and he had always been famous among the Xianbei people for his extraordinary martial prowess.  He was sent by Tan Shihuai to the vicinity of Han Dynasty as a left-hand leader.  In the past few years since I came here, whether it was going south to plunder the Han Dynasty or attacking the nearby Huns, everything went smoothly, and I almost never lost a battle.  This also allowed Pu Tou, who was born in a country background and had never read a book, to quickly inflate his ego.  He has always called himself the first warrior of Xianbei.  After learning that the Han army was leaving the fortress, Putou began to gather troops and prepare to fight the Han army.  As the overlord of the grasslands, the only opponents of the Han army in the fortress were the Xianbei people.  When Pu Tou was young, he witnessed the war in the sixth year of Xiping.  He had seen the corpses of tens of thousands of Han troops who were surrounded and killed all over the grassland.  I also saw how the captured Han soldiers were brutally tortured to death.  Therefore, Pu Tou looked down upon the Han army in his heart.  In his mind, the Han army was no match for the Xianbei people at all, and they could easily defeat the Han army.  This was also the reason why he dared to boldly attack Gao Yang's army with only Wan Qi, whose formation was so huge that he couldn't even see the side at a glance.  Ignorant and arrogant.  Once you taste the taste of victory, you think you will continue to win.  Without the vision to distinguish right from wrong, Putou is a typical prairie illiterate.  Nothing but courage.  "So that's it." Gao Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and waved his hand casually.  The bodies were buried and the wounded were executed??.  Thousands of prisoners of war were sent to the rear to become glorious construction workers.  They will spend the rest of their lives in endless toil.  Gao Yang rejected their request to redeem himself according to the rules on the grassland.  Gao Yang's answer is simple, he is not short of money.  In addition to Pu Tou, among this Xianbei cavalry, there is also a famous figure in history books, that is Pu Tou's son, Bu Dugen.  But thirteen-year-old Bu Dugen followed his father to the distant Han Dynasty to become an excellent construction worker and learned a good craft.  However, few of these Xianbei people can survive more than five years on various construction sites.  Extremely poor working environment and food supply, no doctor or medicine when sick, and frantic work day and night.  All this was rapidly draining the lives of the prisoners of war.  Budugen is no exception.  He did not live past the age of eighteen.  (To be continued)
