The world is vast, the wind is fierce, and the barren grass of the Bingzhou Plain in early winter is full of gray and misty in the eyes.
Except for the north of Jinyang City, it is rare to see people, except for the barren grass, you can only see the gray sky.
The land of the state was originally sparsely populated, and after the land north of the Great Wall in the north of the state was under the jurisdiction of the Huns, the boundary of the Great Wall north of Jinyang was even more uninhabited.
The people have moved south to avoid being plundered by the Huns, a few years ago the Huns took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to loot to the east of the river, how could the people not know the ferocity of the Huns In the dusty sky, a team of people and horses walked slowly along the grassland, with flags like clouds and swords and halberds like forests, like rolling waves, sweeping the entire grassland.
Among the dense flags, a large flag embroidered with the word "Gongsun" is particularly eye-catching.
Under the banner, Gongsun Bai, who was sitting on top of the sweaty and bloody BMW, was particularly obvious, he was dressed in a white robe and white armor, wearing a thick cotton hat on his head, and wearing a tiger skin, and his originally round face was a little more resolute in the wind.
The cold wind was like a knife, sweeping through the barren field, and tens of thousands of people walked silently, rolling towards the north of Taiyuan County.
It's early winter, and there's a faint wind and snow coming from the land, and at night, the water drips into ice, and it's unusually cold.
What supported them to walk in the field for a long time was not only the cotton robe that was warm enough to keep them warm, not only the dry food that was enough to fill their stomachs and the hot soup that could warm their bodies, but also the determination and fighting spirit to go to the soup and fire for the general at any time, as well as the oath and pride of "being hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Hun blood".
In addition to the white horse Yicong and the flying wolf riding in front of the gallop, the more than 20,000 foot soldiers behind were also riding horses up and down seven feet, followed by tens of thousands of pack horses.
Those horses that were eliminated by the cavalry, although they did not meet the requirements of Gongsun Bai's cavalry and could not support a long charge, but the camels and camels were still very easy, so Gongsun Bai's soldiers and horses were probably the fastest in the Han army.
Moreover, those pack horses ate some grain and grass, and then gnawed some wild grass, which was much less than the consumption of a large number of people who used wheelbarrows to transport grain and grass on foot, and more importantly, Gongsun Bai was not short of food.
Supporting 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses to fight, the reserves of the land of Sanzhou were more than enough to deal with, so he dared to swear to destroy the Xiongnu.
The Han emperors in history did not want to destroy the Xiongnu, but their strength was insufficient.
The lack of war horses leads to a lack of action, and the number of troops is too large, especially the people who transport grain and grass, and the consumption is huge, known as transporting two catties of grain, and eating a catty of grain on the road, or even more, such a huge consumption is difficult to bear.
Of course, more importantly, there has always been a civil and military discord between the DPRK and China, and the literati despise the martial arts and do not want the generals to be in the limelight, so they always have to stumble the generals who are fighting abroad from time to time.
But these stumbling blocks no longer exist for Gongsun Bai, when Gongsun Bai decides to do something, no one can stop it, and no one will stop it, Liu Yu has entered the retirement stage, he can't manage so much, and he doesn't want to care about so much, because Gongsun Bai's achievements in governing the local area after occupying the land of Sanzhou made him almost unable to find fault, so he simply let it go.
Of course, Cao Cao is also the same character, and most of the people who have achieved great things are like this, but the problem is that Cao Cao's arbitrariness has made Liu Xie a puppet, and Liu Xie can't make decisions about everything, and the contradictions between the two often intensify, so Cao Cao has been repeatedly attacked as "a famous man, but he is actually a thief".
Guo Jia, who was sitting next to Gongsun Bai, was so cold that his face was flushed, and his nose was inhaling, but he was still sitting upright on horseback, looking radiant.
Gongsun Bai quipped: "Fengxiao has made a lot of progress, and he has traveled hundreds of miles in such a cold wind, but he has not been carried away, haha." ” Guo Jia smiled and said: "Zhuang Zhi is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Hun blood, the lord is so proud and ambitious, how dare Guo Jia lag behind Since the Warring States Period, the Huns have been plagued by the northern Xinjiang, and the Qin State, Zhao State and Yan State can only build the Great Wall to protect the Xiongnu in the north; And as strong as the first emperor, he was also forced to build the Great Wall to resist the Xiongnu outside the country, and even lost the country because of the loss of money and money; In the past, Gaozu was trapped in Baishan Mountain by the 400,000 cavalry of Maotun and had to break the siege with his relatives; Since Emperor Wu, although the Xiongnu have been repeatedly hit hard, they cannot be destroyed.
Dare to claim to have annihilated the Huns, the lord is the first person to hear in hundreds of years, how can Guo Jia miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" Gongsun Bai smiled faintly: "Look at your appearance, the Huns are already sick cats, what is there to be excited about, wait until the general destroys Xianbei, it is not too late for you to be excited." ” "What" Guo Jia was completely messy.
Xianbei has already laid a territory of more than 7,000 miles at the time of Tanshi Huai, the territory is not much smaller than the Han Dynasty, its headquarters population plus other Hu people under its rule, the number has reached millions, and it is not a problem to organize two or three hundred thousand cavalry at will, if it were not for the opportunity of Gongsun Bai many years ago to take advantage of Xianbei Shan Yu rashly went south, he killed his Shan Yu Putou, so that Xianbei was temporarily in a state of division and civil war, I am afraid that Gongsun Bai at this time was still in a state of fierce battle with Xianbei people in the north of Youzhou.
At this time, although Xianbei was leaderless and had constant internal strife, if Xianbei was completely pacified, I am afraid that it would not be possible to raise the power of the whole Han Dynasty.
What he didn't know was that Gongsun Bai was bent on destroying the Xiongnu and Xianbei and preventing the occurrence of the Wuhu Rebellion, once Gongsun Bai decided to do something, this day would come sooner or later.
Just when Gongsun Bai was talking and laughing with Guo Jia, more than ten miles away from them, there was a mysterious team rushing towards them.
There were five or six thousand people in this team, and most of them were ragged Han Chinese, and in the wind of hunting, they seemed to wrap everything they could find, one by one, holding each other, or supporting each other, and running wildly in a scattered formation, except for the occasional person carrying a small bag in their hands, most of them were empty-handed.
The crowd surged forward silently, rarely making a sound, and the rustling sound of tens of thousands of people stepping on the dead grass could be heard in the distance, all of them had vegetables on their faces, and many of them were already walking unsteadily, and they didn't know how many days they had been hungry.
"Father," someone in the crowd suddenly cried.
I saw a thin man suddenly fall to the ground, and he couldn't get up anymore, and the little girl on the side cried wow, but except for a few people around who looked back coldly, most of them turned a deaf ear, and even the little girl's mother only sobbed twice, and then pulled the little girl on.
The man's body was left unburied in the wilderness, including his two relatives.
Burying requires physical strength, and if a living person exerts physical energy on burial, several more corpses may be added.
They were all displaced people, because they could not bear the bullying of the Huns, and secretly fled south from the north of Xihe County.
They had been on the run for more than 20 days, and because of the pursuit of the Huns, the torture of hunger and cold, and the ravages of disease, there were more than 10,000 people when they fled, and only half of them were left.
In fact, if they continue as they are, they will all starve to death in the vast grassland in less than a few days.
Tap At this moment, a sharp sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded behind him, and a group of cavalry rushed quickly, and the knight in front shouted: "Hurry up, the Huns are catching up" The leather armor on the bodies of these cavalrymen is already in tatters, but it can still be seen that it is the uniform of the Han army, except that there is still an unyielding light in their eyes, their faces look very haggard, and their bodies are full of scars, even the war horses under their crotches are exhausted.
The Han people who walked silently in front still maintained their original speed, few people looked back, and a few people who walked at the end seemed to be in a hurry, and ran forward a few steps, but their feet were unstable, and they fell to the ground and could not get up again.
Their physical strength has been exhausted to the extreme, almost to the point of running out of oil and lamps, and they have no strength to escape, so they can only resign themselves to fate.
Poof, another elder in the crowd fell to the ground, and the young man on the side hurriedly helped him, but the old man only struggled slightly, and muttered: "I'd rather die than be a slave of a foreign race."
After saying that, he passed away suddenly, looking very calm.
Xi Yuyu The galloping Han cavalry held their horses' feet, and the leading general sighed: "They can't run anymore, if they go on like this, in a few days, we will be like them, it's better to kill while we still have a little strength."
More than 100 Han cavalrymen raised their spears in their hands in unison, and echoed in a low and resolute voice: "Listen to General Yan, kill happily."
The general surnamed Yan laughed and shouted in a deep voice: "Array" More than 100 cavalrymen immediately lined up in a conical formation, ready to meet the battle.
Thundered Miles away, there was a loud sound of horses' hooves, and a dark cloud appeared in their eyes, coming like the wind.
Someone exclaimed: "The great forces of the Huns have caught up" The dark clouds drifted closer and closer, and there were as many as two or three thousand people, and it was obviously not the three or four hundred cavalry that had been entangled with them all the way.
The general surnamed Yan said in a deep voice: "The arrows are exhausted, the food is exhausted, the horsepower will be exhausted, anyway, sooner or later he will die in battle, no matter how many Huns he comes, kill one is enough, kill two to earn one, all for Lao Tzu to fight" Some of the Han soldiers behind him laughed: "Lao Tzu killed three Huns all the way, it has long been enough, and what I fought today is earned, although the fight is" Hahaha The general surnamed Yan and the rest of the Han cavalry laughed along, and the laughter was full of infinite tragedy.

Woooooooo Seeing that the surging Hun cavalry had already rushed to two or three hundred steps away, the general surnamed Yan raised his long knife in his hand, and was about to shout the order to rush to kill, when suddenly there was a continuous horn sound from behind, which startled everyone to look back.
