Chapter 34 Iron Stream (3)
A knife is a good knife. The blade is three feet long and the handle is four feet long. It is purely made of fine iron. The faint light in the morning passes through the mist and sprinkles on the knife through the branches and leaves in the forest. The texture like water waves reflects a misty blue metallic light. Holding it in your hand, the heavy and cold touch makes people feel more invincible.
The sword was not very sharp. This horse-slashing sword had obviously experienced countless fierce battles and had slashed too many enemies, so that the blade was a little blunt. You can find several tiny gaps that were broken after careful look. Thick blood scabs clumps clumped on the blade, and many turned black. But for such a giant horse-slashing sword, this almost did not damage its lethality. Anyway, the extraordinary weight alone would be enough to cut through several levels of iron Kai.
This type of special-shaped sword is undoubtedly a weapon for battle formations. It is usually handed over to the powerful and brave men specially selected in the army to form an elite force to charge. Its long handle is just holding with both hands, forming a formation and forming a front, and the people and horses under the sword are invincible. However, at this moment, Duan Wenyang lifted it lightly with one hand, as if lifting a lamp grass, without any effort.
When he spoke, he sported a large sword at will. Several times the blade almost brushed against Chi Luojin's nose. This arrogant attitude and terrifying force made the sergeant warriors around Chi Luojin a little nervous, and some even involuntarily made a defensive gesture.
In the first year of Yongxing, the governor of Youzhou, Wang Jun, summoned Hu Jin's cavalry to 20,000 cavalry south to Yecheng and attacked Chengdu Sima Ying. Duan Wenyang then applied for the recruitment, and was only sixteen years old. At that time, the king of Chengdu was in great strength and was elected as the crown prince and prime minister by the court and the government. He occupied the northern part of Sizhou and most of Jizhou, and controlled the court. He had hundreds of thousands of troops under his command. The generals such as Qian Xiu, Wang Cui, Shi Chao, Wang Bin, etc. were all famous, with strong soldiers and strong soldiers. Looking at the Central Plains, he thought he was as solid as Mount Tai. However, Wang Jun used Duan Wenyang, a sixteen-year-old boy as the vanguard, and rushed along the way from Jicheng to Yecheng. The hundreds of thousands of troops of the King of Chengdu collapsed like the remaining snow blown by the storm! Wherever the Youzhou Army passed, only corpses were everywhere, and the bodies were almost stacked with hills. Duan Wenyang's name of evil stars was also spread throughout the northern border and was regarded as the first-class brave general under Wang Pengzu.
If it weren't for the old days of Duan Wuwuchen in western Liaoning, Chi Luojin was not as good as the head of the Tuoba Xianbei tribe. However, this fat fat man could just keep talking about Duan Wenyang as his junior, and his courage was really terrifying. No wonder Duan Wenyang waved his knife intentionally or unintentionally and intimidated.
"Nephew...hehe...nephew!" Chi Luojin quickly changed his name to Duan Wenyang, and his words were even more polite and respectful: "Our Chi Luo tribe is naturally a friend of Duan tribe, and the most loyal and reliable good friends!"
Duan Wenyang stared at him, smiled, revealing her white teeth all over her mouth, like a beast.
The Xianbei people are distributed in the northern border that stretches from east to west. Generally speaking, the Xianbei in the eastern region has more exchanges with the Central Plains and has a deeper degree of sinicization, so they do not take the relatively barbaric Xianbei seriously. The so-called Xianbei in the central region, namely the Tuoba Xianbei Alliance, have been enlightened later and have a more rough and fierce personality. Even though the Khan-Yu and other desert Khan-Yu gradually promoted culture and education and promoted sinicization, they were obstructed by traditional forces and had little effect. Many chiefs, Qu Shuai Taiban were brave but extensive and ignorant, so they inexplicably killed the blood flowing into a river at the Dahan Mountain Sacrifice Ceremony.
But there are also strangers among them, such as Chi Luojin in front of him is an extremely cunning and wise person. If he really thinks he is a thousand horses given by Duan’s ministry, he would be too underestimated. Before coming here, Duan Wuwuchen specifically instructed Duan Wenyang to cooperate with him to defeat the Dai County Army, and he would not have to believe any other words he said.
Duan Wenyang was about to say something, and the outside of Lin came to report: "Here is here! Here!"
The woodland fell into silence in an instant.
After a while, two Jin cavalry suddenly appeared from the fog and quickly passed along both sides of the road. After a while, two more cavalrymen flew past quickly. One of them stayed on the edge of the woodland for a while, and found no abnormality before continuing to move forward.
"The Jin army brigade is in the rear." Chi Luojin said calmly: "When the Daijun army marched, they were used to distributing scout cavalry. Everyone must be careful and never be discovered."
At this moment, the vast moonlight gradually faded, and the fog slowly dissipated. In the south of the road, a continuous cavalry team appeared.
The Dai County Army rose up overnight and rushed to Ruyuan for a hundred miles. The leader was naturally Ding Miao. The general of the Wuwei Army, Ding Yu, the leader of the army, Xiao Shi, Li Huan and other generals led two thousand cavalry forward. This cavalry team was reorganized after entering the Bashang grassland. It brought together soldiers of all the Hu Jin tribes with superb cavalry. They were all light-fitted, so they marched very quickly and left the central army far behind. After a night of march, the soldiers were very tired, but the general did not issue a rest order, so they continued to move forward. Everyone in this army was already accustomed to the arduous and dangerous combat career. It was a trivial matter to march overnight. During the entire itinerary, no one would complain or complain or complain about fatigue, but maintained a solemn atmosphere.
The grasslands on the dam are not completely flat, and the terrain is also undulating. There are also streams, swamps and other distributions. After many cavalrymen trampled by them, they become muddy. If they are negligent, the team will be dispersed and difficult to retract. In order to keep the queue in the night and the fog, each team of cavalry raised their military flags high, and flags painted with beasts or ferocious birds drifted in the wind, as if they were alive.
Ding Miao took the lead and walked at the forefront of the entire army. Along the way, he continued to send cavalry to reconnaissance, and there were also cavalry to return from the front road, informing him of the reconnaissance of the road and the enemy's movements so that he could adjust the rhythm of the march at any time. This surprise attack used huge power and had a great relationship. As the pioneer of the entire army, he did not dare to neglect the slightest.
Ding Miao's status in the Dai County army was different from others. He was a senior general who directly belonged to Pingbei General and Bingzhou Governor Liu Kun, and was a colleague with Lu Yao. Strictly speaking, before going east to Yecheng, his official position and position were still above Lu Yao. However, in just a few months, Lu Yao used the methods of turning the world from Yecheng to Dai County, and now he is a member of Fangzhen who actually takes charge of the important areas of the border, so Ding Miao had to be far behind.
In fact, Ding Miao is born with a heartless and happy spirit, and his relationship with Lu Yao is very harmonious. Lu Yao never treats him as a subordinate, but his original colleague suddenly becomes like this and almost becomes his boss. Ding Miao can't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"When things happen to the northern border, I still have to go back to Bingzhou and kill the Huns!" Ding Miao said to himself.
Then he thought again that when Lu Yao and his group set out from Yecheng to the north, they met his uncle, Ding Shao, the governor of Jizhou. At that time, Ding Shao was facing the crisis of the Shile bandits sweeping across the southern part of Jizhou, so Xun was entrusted with the important task of stabilizing the northern border. Now Dai County is indeed firmly in control and can be a barrier to northern Jizhou. However, the grassland situation is inexplicably chaotic, just like a hornet's nest that will break out at any time. Just one Dai County is far from enough to stabilize the northern border; such a chaotic grassland is even more terrifying to Jinyang where Yue Shigong is located.
Therefore, the Dai County Army went north this time not only to divide the interests of Tuoba Xianbei territory, but also to gain more room for freedom of movement for Dai County. If everything goes well, the power of Dai County will leap again, and the Bashang Grassland will also become a huge stalemate space for Dai County to face the Xianbei people. The question is, will other Xianbei tribes sit and watch this fertile land fall into the control of the court? Will there be continuous wars after this war?
The northern border has happened... This goal is really difficult to achieve. Ding Miao frowned rarely.
After leaving Jinyang, he always faced such a complex environment, forcing this young man who has always shown himself as a fierce general must also think. At this moment, he was considering the situation in the northern border and his future. As he thought about it, he was a little dazzled.
The team leader who followed Ding Miao, Row Ji Lujuan never thought too much. Although he had traveled overnight, the Xianbei boy was still full of energy and could not suppress his desire to fight like a tiger. Even the war horse under his crotch felt his strong desire to fight. He ran forward from time to time and then reluctantly slowed down under the control of the master.
As the first Xianbei person to express his incoming to Dai County, Lu Yao's rank and Lu Jun left a deep impression on Lu Yao. His expertise in knowing the language of the two tribes was given great attention. For example, Ding Miao specially transferred him to his command to facilitate communication between generals and subordinates of the Hu tribe at all levels.
The past two months may have been the happiest two months of Baliji Lujuan's life. The former young horse thief received unprecedented attention and recognition in the Daijun army, so that he often laughed happily in his dreams. In the dream, he was able to reunite with his deceased mother, the gentle Han lady who was captured; he could proudly and proudly tell her that the child is not a thief now, but an officer in the court!
In fact, the word "The Court" has no special meaning for Lu Juan. The words mastered by this Xianbei boy were not enough to make him understand that all the kings and lands were the authority of the kings, but he truly believed in the brutal and generous general, and completely trusted the bright future that General Lu had portrayed for everyone.
Lu Juan gently patted the neck of the war horse, put the reins a little, allowing the war horse to trot forward. He knew that he was at the forefront of the entire army, so he subconsciously imitated the common postures of several high-level generals, straightened his chest, and stared at the forests and lakes around him with a serious look. But the cool morning air penetrated into his throat, causing a sudden sneeze, breaking the image he had worked hard to build.
When the whole army was silent, the sneeze sounded quite light, and it was spread far on the grassland. Lu Jue was shocked by the fact that he shook his head, which was dizzy due to the violent sneeze, and subconsciously turned back to look at Ding Miao, fearing that General Ding would get angry because of this.
But Ding Miao did not blame Ba Lieji Lu Juan. He suddenly raised his hand and signaled the entire army to stop.
The Xianbei boy just sneezes, but Ding Miao suddenly felt strong uneasy. In order to be hidden, the cavalry troops led by him marched against a forest by the tributary of Rushui. It was early morning, and all kinds of birds and beasts that were wandering in the woodland were appearing, with tiger roaring, wolf howling, dog barking, and deer singing. No matter how, the violent sneeze of Lu Jue should also cause the birds in the forest to flew.
But in fact, there was no sound in this woodland, showing an abnormal silence.
Ding Miao's raised arms did not move at all, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
