Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the blink of an eye, another three days passed. During these three days, the battle around the stone fort never stopped. To the north of the stone fort, there were densely packed defenders at the Dongmugan Mountain Pass. On the south side of the stone fort, there were  The army from Shengle and Chi Luohou had just arrived at the 30,000-strong army. The total troops on both sides were as many as 70,000 to 80,000, but due to the terrain restrictions, they could not exert their strength.  The Tan Daoji tribe was besieged, and it was impossible to break out. Although they carried limited food and grass, and there was no snowfall in Dongmugan Mountain, they could eat horse corpses when they were hungry, and drink the blood from the horse corpses when they were thirsty.  As the war continues, there will be a shortage of water and food. The only threat is the severe cold, which can be worn by ripping skins and coats from dead bodies. Therefore, it is not them who are anxious, but the Rouran people. The Rouran people are really furious, but  They could only participate in the battle with less than a thousand people at the same time, and they were so anxious that smoke was rising from their throats!  Before Shengle's army blocked the south, the guards spread the news of the successful capture of the mountain pass in advance. After Wei Feng received it, he immediately spread it to Rouran. He had a trumpet and could shout loudly from any distance, making  Yujiulu Shelun's blockade was useless.  Late at night on the third day, Wei Feng was still awake. He was reading the news from Guanzhong. Yao Xing's situation was now extremely critical. Under the attack of the four-party coalition, Yao Xing still had the advantage in strength at the beginning.  , but the Tuoba family was determined to take revenge, and the bald Laitan and Juqu Mengxun deeply hated Yao Xing's treachery, so everyone fought to the death. What's more, the rest of Liu Bobo's tribe were horse thieves and rogues, and they were even more ferocious. In the field battle, Yao Xing  Unexpectedly, he didn't win a single victory. He could only hide behind the Chang'an city wall and barely stay safe.     only.  Although Chang'an cannot be broken for a while, the Quartet Allied Forces can plunder counties outside Chang'an for military resources. So far, Guanzhong, except Chang'an, has been like a hell on earth!  Liu Xingnan, who was officially married to Wei Feng, looked a bit like a little daughter-in-law. After pouring a bowl of hot tea for Wei Feng, he sighed: "General, I didn't expect that Guanzhong is in such chaos. It would be very uncomfortable for Yan'er if she knew about it.  . If you break Rouran, hurry up and enter. I'm afraid Yao Xing won't have any other thoughts when he is in this situation." "Hehe~~" Wei Feng chuckled: "Yao Xing is in trouble.  It seems that all the heroes in the world are being manipulated by him, and his calculations are too clever, and this is what happened to Qing Qing.  It was inherited from his father and ancestors. The Yao family got to the top by inflicting trouble on Fu Jian. From Yao Chang to Yao Xing and the others, everyone is a cunning person. Although I am in the way of Yao Xing in such a family,  Yan's face will not be affected by him, but it is indispensable to imprison three generations. "The so-called imprisoning for three generations means that they are not allowed to serve in official positions for three generations. Liu Xingnan nodded in understanding, but then asked: "General, you can only say this.  Let¡¯s talk about it. If the news comes to Sister Yan¡¯er, I won¡¯t blame you to death. Besides, it¡¯s good for Xingnan to look at Sister Yan¡¯er.¡± Wei Feng said seriously: ¡°Women are different from men. What women want is nothing more than competition for favor.  It¡¯s just a matter of seizing a legitimate heir, but that doesn¡¯t work here. Wang Man¡¯s status is unshakable. The key is that I won¡¯t be fooled by beauty.¡± In the first half, Liu Xingnan, Wang Daolian and Chen Maiden all nodded.  They would not be jealous of Wang Man's status, but Wei Feng alienated Wang Man one day. That would be terrible. This shows that Wei Feng has changed and no longer cares about the hardships of the past. But the last sentence made them all feel  Feeling like vomiting, especially Liu Xingnan, he retched several times!  Wei Feng didn't care, he picked up the tea bowl and the old god took a sip of tea. Before he put the bowl down, a nun yaksha had already flashed into the tent and saluted: "Your Majesty, the Wei Shenmo tribe and the Mengwu tribe of Shi Wei Feng  More than ten people from the Wuhuan tribe and other clan chiefs asked to see him. "Liu Xingnan said quickly: "General, he must have been cut off and surrendered to you. Please see him. Let's go to the back." "Well~~" Wei.  Feng nodded, Liu Xingnan took Miss Chen and Wang Daolian to the back tent, and the nanny also walked out quickly.  Not long after, a dozen big prairie men were brought into the tent and stood in a row. They all held their chests with one hand and saluted one after another: "Shi Wei Shen Mo Bu Shen Mo Dan has seen King Ming, Shi Wei Meng Wu Bu Meng.  I met King Ming at Wugutai" Everyone reported their names in turn. Of course, not everyone could understand what Wei Feng said. After all, some small tribes had no way of communicating with China.  This requires translation by Shen Modan and Mongol Gutai.  After more than a dozen people saluted, Wei Feng slightly cupped his hands as a return gift and said, "I wonder why you are here late at night?" "This" More than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at each other, Mengwu Gutai  With a look of shame on his face, he said: "We are not willing to be enemies of King Ming, because Rouran is so powerful. If we don't obey, it will be a disaster for our family and people. I hope King Ming will forgive me for taking the liberty to come here tonight."  I shamelessly asked the Ming Dynasty to surrender, hoping to give me and other small tribes a way out. We are willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.?I will be the people of the Ming Dynasty forever and ever, and please have mercy on me from the King of Ming Dynasty.  " "Bang bang bang!  "More than ten clan chiefs all knelt down, their faces full of sincerity and pleading! Wei Feng sneered secretly, who are these people? Needless to say, the Khitan has become a serious problem for the Central Plains Dynasty since the Sui and Tang Dynasties.  The Mongolians are the ancestors of the Mongols, and the Wuhuan once brought disaster to the Northeast. Kumoxi thought the disaster was not serious, but that was because they were wiped out by the Jurchens in advance. These races have a common characteristic. When they are weak, they shrink their tails and behave like humans.  , once they become powerful, they will definitely invade the Central Plains! The rest are not limited to them. The nature of the grassland people is to invade and invade again. If the grassland people did not kill them endlessly, Wei Feng would rather kill them all!  Everyone dared not even let the air out, and they came to ask Wei Feng for help. They had no choice. The back road was cut off. Although it would take great risks to force a detour from the eastern section of Yinshan Mountain, it was not impossible, but the key was to have soft  Of course, if Rouran also escapes, they will inevitably plunder their food and horses. Even if they are not killed by then, they will die of cold and starvation in the vast snowfield. In short, if they are not pardoned by Wei Feng, they will basically die!  It was an ending of ten deaths and no life, and they had no hope of Rouran regaining the pass of Dongmugan Mountain. After a while, Wei Feng nodded and said: "God has the virtue of good life.  I am determined to be a benevolent king. Since you all sincerely repent, I will give you a chance. Early tomorrow morning, I will send out troops to attack Rouran. You and other tribes can show their righteousness in front of the formation and attack together with our Ming army. Each of you will have his left arm wrapped around  White cloth to distinguish ourselves from the enemy!  " "Thank you very much, King Ming. We will definitely respond in front of the battle!"  " Shen Modan and Mengwu Gutai relayed Wei Feng's words to everyone. Immediately, there were endless shouts of thanks. Everyone's face showed a relaxed look. Thinking about it, they used the hands of the Ming army to lift the mountain of Rouran.  Isn¡¯t this an opportunity for our tribe to make a comeback? In fact, the history of Rouran¡¯s rise is quite inspiring. Before Rouran, the overlords on the grassland were the Xiongnu and the Tuoba clan.  , each has been in power for hundreds of years, leaving many small and medium-sized tribes unable to think of anything else, but Rouran's meteoric rise has guided them to another path, which is to be a king, general, or minister?  More than ten years ago, Lun had only a few hundred men under his command, and he was killed like a lost dog by Wei. However, in just over ten years, he became the overlord of the grassland. If he can do it, why can't he himself? "  But" Just when everyone was secretly excited, Wei Feng's sinister turning voice suddenly rang in their ears, which alerted them immediately! "Yes, I have benefited and haven't paid the price yet!" All of a sudden  , the atmosphere that had just relaxed seemed a little tense again, but it was only a little tense. When they thought about it, Wei Feng just wanted some cattle, sheep and horses. Although they felt distressed, compared with overturning the mountain of Rouran, money was nothing.  No matter how much you ask for, you will give it! Wei Feng glanced at it coldly and said: "Since the Tuoba clan was wiped out by Gu, the great grassland south of Yinshan has been deserted for thousands of miles. Don't you think you are greedy?  If you can graze here, your tribe will not have to live in poverty in the ravines. Since you have volunteered to be my people of the Ming Dynasty, then I should do my best. After defeating Rouran, I want to ask you to move the tribe here.  The grazing area will be demarcated by the troops for you. You must not cross the border or attack each other. You must serve and pay taxes according to the regulations. The Ming Dynasty will dispatch generals to manage them. The armed forces of various ministries are under the command of the generals. Military movements of more than 100 people must obtain military orders from the dispatched generals, otherwise it will be considered as rebellion.  Regarding the discussion, I wonder what you guys think?  " "This" Everyone looked at each other and moved to the south of Yinshan Mountain. They were willing to dream of it, but if they lost their mobility, what kind of nomads could they be? And if their weapons were placed under the command of the generals of the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't this mean that they would even  Have all the military power been stripped away? Shen Modan said cautiously: "King Ming, natural disasters are frequent on the grassland. If you are not allowed to move after a disaster, isn't this waiting for death in vain?  Besides, we have always lived in pursuit of water and grass. This has been the case for generations. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not appropriate to settle in one place!  " "What's wrong?  "Wei Feng waved his hand: "When you enter the Ming Dynasty, the disaster relief should be provided by the court. Don't worry about this. Gu treats his subordinates equally and will not give less than a copper coin!  " No one in the tent spoke. They were unwilling to put the tribe under the rule of the Ming Dynasty. Wei Feng's face immediately sank and he said coldly: "What?  Not even willing to do this?  Who has said before that he wishes to be my people of the Ming Dynasty forever and ever?  Could it be that he was just lying?  Um?  I, the people of Ming Dynasty, can¡¯t I manage them alone?  " Wei Feng showed signs of falling out. If he had known this would happen, he would have to carefully consider whether he would come to ask Wei Feng to surrender! But at this time, facing the pressure from Wei Feng, no one said anything.  Make up your mind not to be the first person, let¡¯s see how Wei Feng handles it.  "Escort these clan chiefs."He Hu, who seemed to be angry, scolded sternly: "I, He Lanbu He Hu, was appointed as the general of Anxi in the Ming Dynasty. The tribe settled in Youyan, Hebei, with fields and land, and a prosperous life. Today, the king is gracious and is willing to accept you and other tribes as our members."  Mingren, this is a blessing that you can't achieve in eight lifetimes. It's better for you to push it away. Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. Isn't it just that you want to replace Rouran? "Humph!"  It was secretly growing in the Central Plains, but now that the world is about to be unified, the Ming Dynasty will also move its capital to Beijing and sit in the north. Rouran's luck will never happen again. Do you think you will have a chance? Besides, I am not afraid to tell you that the king will not destroy Rouran.  , but the generals will be managed separately. If you go back on your word, it doesn't matter. The king will not spare hundreds of thousands of people from your tribe, but you can weigh the consequences of deceiving the king yourself. " This is a naked threat. If Wei Feng is recruited!  Without Rouran, can they still have a good life?  Unable to help himself, some rumors about Wei Feng popped into his mind one after another.  Slaughter of Silla, massacre of Baekje, capture of Goguryeo people for hard labor, massacre of Wei people, massacre In the severe winter season, although the temperature inside the tent was warm, it had nothing to do with heat, but beads of sweat oozed from the foreheads of these people. This was obviously not due to heat.  , but cold sweat.  "That's it, that's it!" Wei Feng waved his hand again: "It's not sweet to force it. Since you have no intention of joining my Ming Dynasty, I won't force you to do so. Please come back now. We will fight in battle tomorrow. You and I will have a battle of life and death.  That¡¯s it!¡± Wei Feng gave the eviction order, but no one dared to leave. They thought it was a showdown.  If you leave, you will become an enemy of the Ming Dynasty.  No more twists and turns.  And even if we don't discuss the outcome of the battle with the Ming army, the Rouran people will definitely be the first to fight against the Ming army.  The Ming army was well-trained, well-armed, and had more than 100,000 horsemen. How could it be that the only one who died was himself!  More than a dozen clan chiefs looked at each other again, and Shen Modan gritted his teeth and said: "After the war, we will move the tribe to the south of Yinshan Mountain and follow the arrangements of King Ming!" "Hahahaha~~" Wei Feng laughed loudly: "Come on.  Everyone, please wake up. Since you and I are a family, we will not treat you badly in the future. In the future, we will order large quantities of cattle, sheep, mules, wool and sheepskins and other grassland specialties from various parts of the grassland, and we will promote business exchanges between the mainland and the grassland. In short  , within ten years, all the tribes who have moved south will be able to live a prosperous life. Okay, everyone will meet the orphans secretly, and it is inconvenient for the orphans to stay for a long time. When we break Rouran tomorrow, we can have a drink with you all. Please go back now, and be careful on the road.  , I stayed alone without seeing you off." Everyone thanked and left, and walked out, but He Hu snorted coldly: "The king treats people with sincerity, treats everyone with sincerity, and lets you go, but I have to put the villain first, and then the gentleman.  Put your ugly words in front of us. When we fight tomorrow, you must follow us immediately, otherwise you will be hostile!" "I understand, I understand, please rest assured, King Ming!" The chiefs headed by Shen Modan and Mengwu Gutai responded quickly.  Get off, and then leave the tent.  Wei Feng gave He Hu an appreciative look, and He Hu was immediately elated. Wei Feng did not communicate with him beforehand. He took the initiative to play bad guy. He was really trying to figure out what he meant, but he was sure that he would be able to win over him in the future.  Wei Feng¡¯s joy! ??¡­??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? In the early morning of the next day, the horns of the Ming army camp sounded continuously, and the cavalry galloped out in groups, plus the Xuanjia Heavenly Army, totaling one hundred and four thousand, and the Pingcheng garrison was also ready to go.  The Ming army made a strong attack posture, Rouran did not dare to be slow, and also shouted orders repeatedly. Unlike Wei Feng, who had to leave some troops to defend the stronghold, he really rushed forward. Rouran originally had 250,000 cavalry in each department, and he scolded Luo Hou.  After taking away 30,000 yuan, Sheng Le kept 40,000 yuan. He lost more than 10,000 yuan during the attack on the camp a while ago, and now there is less than 170,000 yuan left.  The formation of the Ming army was a large formation with arrows in the middle, and a small formation with fish scales on each side. The Xuanjia Heavenly Army was hidden at the end. Since this time it was an active attack, all the crossbow cavalry were guarding the stronghold. In short, the formation was extremely  compact.  The prairie cavalry is just the opposite. It is divided into more than a dozen areas based on tribal units. The largest of them is the Rouran cavalry, which has about 120,000 to 130,000 people. But the common point is that the formations are extremely scattered. After all,  There are no rules for the prairie people in marching and fighting. They all charge with vigor. Forcibly constricting the formation only restrains their hands and makes it difficult to display their strength.  Looking at it, the Rouran side is vast. Even if the formation factor is not taken into account, the number of troops participating in the battle is twice that of the Ming army. However, Sima Xiuzhi and Liu Jingxuan are always uneasy, and they cannot say exactly what they are now.  , they can only hope to win this battle, but if they lose, Yu Jiulu Shelun will be the first to kill them before Wei Feng takes action!  "Woooooo~~" The horn of the Ming army's position sounded again. This was the horn of attack. In an instant, three formations rushed over like arrows from the string!  Yujiulu Shelun also had a solemn look on his face and shouted to the left and right: "Send the order, all the troops will attack. Our Rouran troops will divide into two groups and flank them!"  Simple?It contains a lot of truth!  Shen Modan's face was full of struggle. He first looked at the Ming army. The Ming army was in a tight formation and was not scattered at high speed, showing a strong confidence. Then he looked at Rouran. Rouran's formation was scattered.  , the equipment is simple, and more importantly, because the retreat is cut off, some of the faces of the Rouran soldiers have anxiety, some have a desperate look, in short, they have different expressions.  Mengwu Gutai advised from the side: "Are you still hesitating? Even if Rouran wins, how many people will be left if we fight the Ming army head-on? If we fail to win, all the tribes involved in this matter will be slaughtered by the Ming King.  !¡± Shen Modan felt agitated all over and called out quickly: ¡°Call the troops, tie up your white scarves and fight back against Rouran!¡± ¡°Woooooo~~¡± The horn sounded again!  For a moment, the Rouran people were stunned. All the troops that were supposed to rush towards the Ming army rushed towards them one after another. There was chaos in the formation!  However, Sima Xiuzhi said fiercely: "Wanshou, the Ming army has cut off Rouran's retreat. Logically speaking, it is a good idea to stay in a high ditch and a deep fortress and wait until Rouran is defeated before attacking. However, he chose to  Attacking at this time turned out to be a rebellion against the grassland tribes. No wonder Xiu Zhi felt something was wrong! "Liu Jingxuan quickly said: "Take advantage of the chaos and run away. From now on, you will live incognito!  You want to run away after you have harmed me?" Yu Jiulu Shelun was shocked and angry. He shouted repeatedly, but how could human power restore the chaos of an army of more than 100,000 people?  Just as he was about to turn his horse around and run away, he happened to hear the conversation between the two men, so he said sternly: "Come here, chop these two thieves into pieces!" The Rouran soldiers also hated them so much that they surrounded them and chopped them down.  He stabbed Liu Jingxuan and Sima Xiuzhi again and chopped them into pieces. Just like that, they still couldn't understand their hatred. Before they escaped, someone took out a piece of meat and stuffed it into their mouths!  Eating the flesh of the enemy can only relieve hatred, but it cannot save the defeat. This time, Wei Feng pursued with all his might. Everyone was equipped with two horses, and they chased him for nearly two hundred miles!  A horse carrying a man can run a hundred and eighty miles, which is already the limit. Rouran's defeat was too sudden, and there was no time to prepare the horse. To run a hundred miles with a single horse, the man was trapped and the horse was exhausted. Coupled with the mental pressure, it was almost impossible.  Close to the edge of collapse!  The pursuit did not end until two days later. Rouran had a total of more than 120,000 troops. During the pursuit, more than 50,000 people were killed and nearly 60,000 were captured alive. Only more than 10,000 escaped. The troops besieging Tan Daoji and the Shengle garrison were in De.  After knowing that the main force was defeated, they also fled through the night. It was basically not a problem for the remaining 20,000 garrison north of Shibao to flee to the north of the Great Wall. However, south of Shibao, it was completely unclear whether they could cross Yinshan Mountain. It was already the twelfth lunar month of winter.  If you make a living by killing horses, you may have a chance to return to the Orkhon and Tula River base camps, but as long as it snows heavily, you will definitely die!  Wei Feng ignored this part of the force. After counting the results of the battle, he sent people to escort Rouran prisoners to Beijing to work as coolies. On the other hand, he occupied Shengle to the north. This time, Shengle would not give up.  It is only a hundred miles away from the pass of Dongmugan Mountain and needs to provide support to the Shibao garrison. At the same time, since Wei Feng has allocated the south of Yin Mountain to the grassland ministries, Sheng Le must use it. From the map, Sheng Le and  Pingcheng is located in the center of the grassland south of Yinshan Mountain!  After this battle, although Rouran was not completely wiped out, Rouran's decline was inevitable. After all, a tribe lost more than 100,000 warriors and could not recover for twenty or thirty years. Obviously Wei Feng would not give Rouran time to recover.  , there may even be other tribes that add insult to injury.  After arranging all the trivial matters, Wei Feng summoned the chiefs of the grassland tribes in Shengle City. Based on the map and the number of people in each tribe, he delimited the grazing areas on the spot and ordered that before next autumn,  The manpower of each ministry must be in place, and Mingting will station generals in each grazing area as the military administrative agency on the grassland!  Although the chiefs of various tribes were full of bitterness, the situation was stronger than others, so they had no choice but to agree and return to their tribes to prepare for the migration.  Immediately afterwards, Wei Feng issued an order, ordering the Jingxiang and Jiangling Ming armies to enter Wuguan. Wang Zhene attacked Luoyang from Qiao. In early December, he himself led one hundred thousand troops and rode south to the east of Hedong. Taking advantage of the freezing of the Yellow River, he forcibly crossed Puban and entered.  Guanzhong!  Guanzhong was already in chaos, and Yao Xing was dying. The Ming army's entry into the pass was beyond everyone's expectation. They thought the war between the Ming army and Rouran was not over yet. Taking this opportunity, Wei Feng first met with You.  The Ming army that entered Wuguan attacked the four coalition forces. In this battle, they completely wiped out the remnant of Liu Bobo's army and the main force of the Tuoba clan, beheaded Tuoba Qiu, and captured Juqu Mengxun and Bald-haired Latan alive, leaving them with nothing to think about.  Can only surrender.  After that, Wei Feng surrounded Chang'an, and Yao Xing only held an isolated city in Chang'an. There was no point in persisting, so he led the city's civil and military officials, clan officials, and ministers to open the city gates and surrender.  (Complete the book!)
