Liu Yan is currently using nearly 130,000 Han troops to besiege the remnants of Yao Yizhong from four directions, with Huan Wen as the main general and Xie An as the marching chief of 70,000 cavalry in the west, 40,000 infantry cavalry led by Liu Yan in the east, and the fleet above the Yellow River and Jishui.
Yao Yizhong's troops had already lost their sharpness when they fled all the way, and then the grain was really reduced, coupled with the difficulty of obtaining water, the morale fell to the bottom, and there was no atmosphere of "mourning soldiers will win", but the soldiers became more and more desperate as time went by and the Han army built fortifications.
To be serious, Yao Yizhong's 40,000 or so troops are all cavalry, and if he really fights to the death, he can cause a lot of damage.
And the breakthrough is really don't think about it, two big rivers block the way to the north and south, there is a city wall in the west that is difficult for cavalry to break through, and there is hope to break through in the east, but the breakthrough from the east is still to be trapped.
Looking at the fact that in addition to desperately pulling a few more backs, there is really no hope of breaking through, that is why Yao Yizhong wants to find a way back, and even the statement that the Qiang and Han people are actually the same ethnic group in the Shang Dynasty has been turned out.
To tell the truth, if you want to calculate it carefully, human beings really originated in Africa together, and after hundreds of thousands of years of migration and reproduction, they were distributed all over the world.
In this way, it seems that there is nothing wrong with saying that human beings are a common race.
The rhetoric once appeared in the Western Han Dynasty, and the elites of both the Xiongnu and the Han people recognized that both sides were descendants of the Yanhuang and Miao descendants, so that the Han-Hun War was once interpreted as a national civil war.
There are many similar things in history, for example, Zhuyue and Zhuman, who are also believed to be of the same Miao descent as the Han people, and the source of this belief is the battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou, or the battle between the Yan Emperor and the Yellow Emperor, where the Hu people, barbarians, and the like all fled and multiplied after the defeated lost their leadership.
Liu Yan had no evidence to explain who and who belonged to the same ethnicity, and once again received Yao Yizhong's handwritten letter, but when he saw similar remarks, he had to take it seriously.
When Yu Yi arrived, Liu Yan thought that Yu Yi was a well-read cultural person, so he raised some questions.
"There will be disputes within the five suits, and there will be strangers outside the five suits."
Yu Yi liked Liu Yan very much to find himself to solve his doubts, and tried his best to give the answer: "The blood relatives who have not been around for a long time are still like this, but the two peoples who have blood feuds and whose culture, beliefs, and sense of identity are no longer the same. ” Liu Yan was surprised, I didn't expect that people at this time already had such an opinion, to say that it is no wonder that the Yu family is worthy of being the first gate in the south of the Yangtze River, the family inheritance of the Yu family is definitely not ordinary, and it has educated a group of characters who can be literate and martial, that is, the elites of the Yu clan are a little lacking.
Of course, Yu Yi would say that with a political purpose, the Qiang are now the most populous race in the Central Plains, and anyone who gets a desperate allegiance will be like a tiger.
It is difficult to say whether Yao Yizhong wants to serve Liu Yan with all his heart, but even if there is a 1 in 10,000 chance, after Liu Yan is promoted by the general leader of the Qiang tribe, it will inevitably increase the immeasurable help to the conquest of the Central Plains.
Any regime that has unified the Central Plains, the next step is bound to be a guarantee, and the attack on the south of the Yangtze River has become inevitable, and any piece of territory that belongs to the "sacred and indispensable territory since ancient times" will be recovered, and the regime that does not do so will be poked in the backbone by future generations, no matter where the achievements are made, as long as it is not the integrity of the Golden Ou, the historical evaluation will not be high.
The soldiers displayed by the Han army have shocked the world, and it is no secret that Liu Yan is going to establish a country.
After Liu Yan founded the People's Republic of China, it is conceivable that it will inevitably be a period of crazy expansion, which is the inevitability brought about by politics, and it is also the period when the army is at its most vigorous after the founding of the country.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Han army will inevitably have a series of battles with the Shijie Zhao army, but Yu Yi does not think that the Shijie Zhao State can be destroyed in a short period of time, and it is unlikely that the alliance of the Han State, the Ran Qin State, and the Murong Yan State will appear in a short time.
The gains from expansion into the Central Plains were limited, and the possibility of the Han army shifting its targets was not impossible.
Shijie Zhao State water war is not good, repeated southern expeditions can only achieve some results and it is difficult to destroy the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in one battle, but the Han army has a huge fleet and water warfare skills.
Looking at the performance of the Han army in the Central Plains battlefield, combined with the fact that Liu Yan did not know how many fleets there were, Yu Yi was worried that the Han army's expansion to the south would not be unreasonable.
Sang Yu, who was quietly waiting to drink tea next to him, looked at Yu Yi coldly.
Liu Yan may not have thought much about it, or he may have thought of not thinking about it, but Sang Yu couldn't let Yu Yi interfere with his own decision-making.
Yu Yi was swept away by Sang Yu's cold eyes and smiled embarrassedly, the words have already been spoken, how else can he see how Liu Yan will react.
"The origin of all races in the world is the same, this statement is simply great."
Liu Yan was not sick, he touched the beard growing from his chin and nodded with satisfaction: "This statement must be promoted." ” How the Han nationality is formed does not only refer to blood, but also refers to people's sense of identity.
Let a person who is not a Han person believe that he is an authentic Han person, who says that he is not a Han person, he will fight hard with others, and he is willing to fight and shed blood for the great cause of the Han people, this is the achievement Liu Yan's statement has an absolute connotation, and it may be a little bad to talk about today's Han people, but you don't have to be afraid of anyone when you talk about the height of culture.
Whoever can master the culture can take the initiative, plus the necessary force as a backing, who is a Han person, then who is a Han person Sang Yu also reacted, grinned and looked at Yu Yi who was stunned, raised the teacup and took a sip beautifully.
They were drinking tea and talking about it here, and Yao Yizhong was sleeping in the open and eating on the chewy horse meat.
Although the breakthrough was in a hurry, and he was forced to constantly discard anything that could be discarded along the way without being slowed down, it is absolutely impossible to say that Yao Yizhong didn't even have a tent, but he had to put on a posture in order to show that he shared weal and woe with the soldiers.
Yao Yizhong sat cross-legged in the center of a circle, surrounded by a group of tribal leaders, leaders, and generals.
He just introduced the situation, including the news that he had sent three handwritten letters to Liu Yan but had not received a reply.
"Patriarch, they are going to drive us to the end" Bai Luoyuan is a tribal leader, with more than 5,000 horsemen in his hands.
His face was hideous: "You have to work hard as soon as possible, or if you don't wait for them to build fortifications, it will be useless to work hard." ” Yao Yizhong looked at the rest of the people.
Now is the time for everyone to express their opinions, whether to numbly accept the fate given by others, or to fight to the death to pull some more backs, there is really not much time left for them, after all, the grain has bottomed out and has begun to kill horses and eat meat.
Killing horses is not a trivial matter for the Hu people, it has nothing to do with the value of the war horse, it is the Hu people who have been with their war horses since they were children, and when it comes to killing their companions and eating meat, it is already the worst situation.
"Didn't they understand what the patriarch meant" There are those who want to work hard, and there are those who want to live like ants, Fu Ying belongs to the latter, he said expressionlessly: "Don't Liu Yan know how getting our support will help his hegemony" Yao Yizhong's cheeks twitched, and a killing intent towards Fu Ying developed in his heart.
He didn't want to kill Fu Ying because he was a capitulationist, but those words implied that his patriarch had an unstable position among the Qiang people.
No nation wants a loser to be its leader, but Yao Yizhong has just experienced an unprecedented defeat.
To say that his position as the leader of the Qiang tribe is still as stable as a rock is to deceive himself, maybe the news of the defeat on their side has reached other places, and some people have already set their eyes on the throne of the chief leader.
"Are we at the end of our ropes" Shouxing was one of the people in this group who had relatively few troops, and he said expectantly: "Otherwise, the patriarch's conditions should not be so exaggerated, and lower the requirements."
Yao Yizhong made a lot of seemingly outrageous demands, but compared to the fact that he could get the help of millions of Qiang people, those conditions were not excessive at all.
People with sufficient IQ, they know very well that the more outrageous the conditions, the greater the hope of surrender.
People with worrying IQs can't keep accounts.

And this is the gap between people.
Soon the discussion turned into a noise, during which Yao Yizhong only listened quietly, and he needed to distinguish what his team had split into, which were credible people, and which ones needed to be watched out for or quickly killed.
In general, the person who wants to fight hard and the person who wants to surrender is half the point, wanting to work hard does not mean that he does not want to surrender, and wanting to surrender is not completely losing courage, and the complexity of things is never as simple as one plus one equals two.
A high-level temptation made Yao Yizhong's heart feel cool and cool, although there is no proverb in the Qiang nationality that "the heart is scattered and the team is not easy to lead", it does not mean that he is stupid and does not understand similar truths.
"I've made a decision."
Yao Yizhong's quiet words made the arguing people stop and look at them all.
He slowly stood up, looked in the direction where Liu Yan Daxu was, saw that the lights were bright, listened to the singing and laughter there, retracted his gaze and looked around everyone, and said flatly: "As soon as the morning dawns, I will go to meet Liu Yan in person."
If I am killed, you will fight hard.
If I am imprisoned, you can resist and try your best to kill more Han soldiers before surrendering.
If I can return, we will surrender unconditionally. ” A stunned voice was exhaled, everyone had their own understanding, and the expressions on everyone's faces were wonderful enough for a moment.
There may be luck in what a person has achieved, but there must be a reason for success.
Yao Yizhong's current performance is worthy of the status he has obtained, he has almost arranged all the actions that Liu Yan can take to deal with it, and he has the courage and will to personally verify Liu Yan's bearing.
Of course, Liu Yan never guessed that Yao Yizhong would come over with only one person carrying his own big bag, so that the sky brightened the next day, and Liu Yan was stunned for a long time when he got the news after washing.
"Repeat again."
Liu Yan actually heard it clearly, but he was shocked and felt unbelievable.
He listened to it again, and the next sentence said: "It is worthy of Yao Yizhong." ” Yes, Yao Yizhong came, he was wearing a casual Confucian robe often worn by scribes, not a military uniform, with a war sword hanging from his waist, and he rode a high-headed horse as if he was slowly approaching the gate of the Han military camp.
When the Han sergeant on duty was at a loss or in ecstasy, he reported his name, title, and official position and expressed his intention.
"The soldiers on duty have to be demerited, and they didn't shoot the arrows directly."
Sang Yu is the chief of the march, and he has the responsibility to manage military discipline.
He was also talking about the duties of the sentry, and it was obvious that the soldiers were really derelict in their duties.
He looked at Liu Yan, who had a solemn face, and asked, "Do you want to see you?"
Liu Yan thought a lot, including whether Yao Yizhong thought that he was extremely brave and wanted to set up a situation to kill him under completely unfavorable circumstances.
He looked at Sang Yu and said, "Our war with the Qiang people is not a battle of gentlemen, but if we don't see it, we lose our bearing. ” Of course, I wanted to see him, but it was not Liu Yan who came over to greet him, it was the Han army that brought Yao Yizhong to the Chinese army, and the necessary protective actions were properly prepared, and then Yao Yizhong was brought to the big tent to meet Liu Yan.
Making so many preparations has nothing to do with whether Liu Yan is afraid of death or not, and he can only be said to be an idiot if he does not make any preparations in order to show his courage and martial bravery.
As a leader who does not pay attention to his own safety, what will his subordinates think, what guarantees should the country be able to have, there are too many ways to show his bravery and self-confidence, but this is not the case.
Yao Yizhong was brought into the tent alone, and another Qiang warrior who carried Daxu was left outside the tent.
After he entered the camp, the first thing he saw was the civil and military forces on the left and right, as well as the armor soldiers and crossbowmen who were waiting for the battle, but the main seat was empty.
But for some reason, Yu Yi was also in the tent, he was arranged in the corner of the side of the tent, and he was looking at Yao Yizhong with a scrutinizing gaze at the moment.
Speaking of which, Yao Yizhong is not like a barbaric Hu man, and he is naturally not angry, but he looks heroic and majestic.
He has always had a reputation for being upright, and he seems to have maintained a relatively good reputation all along, and he is by no means the kind of roe head rat who is a villain at first glance.
Yao Yizhong has long been mentally prepared to be watched, whether it is malicious or ridiculed.
He frowned immediately when he saw that the main seat was empty, although he came with a will to die, he did not get Liu Yan's respect and his heart was full of anger.
Liu Yan was not here for the purpose of humiliation, he had other more important things to deal with, such as the Jizhou battle report, and the latest news from Yecheng.
Yao Yizhong didn't wait long, he stood in place and closed his eyes for less than half an hour, and only reopened his eyes when he heard a sound of footsteps, and a tall man who was too young came out of the back tent and walked straight to the main seat and sat down.
There is no doubt that the person who came was Liu Yan, with a full smile on his face at the moment, he first said to those subordinates who saluted, "Sit down", and finally looked at Yao Yizhong:
