Wolf Juxu Mountain is located in the hinterland of the Xiongnu, it is the Kent Mountain of Mongolia in later generations, the jagged granite peaks stand in the distance, and the large and small circular hills in the south are arranged in turn towards the Gobi direction from large to small, like countless waves that gradually flatten.Tracing the footsteps of Huo Quai, Ren Hong arrived here with 60,000 troops on the East Road, and the soldiers were very excited after knowing the name of the mountain, and the fatigue of the expedition was swept away.Most of the people in the army are like Zhao Han'er and Wang Ping, but Zhang Qianqiu's family has never forgotten the mastery, he is a Confucian general, but he looks sick, and he gave the captains who are more and more crooked to popularize why Huo Hussar wants to engage in Feng Zen in the territory of the Huns."
The gods are not non-class, the people do not worship non-clans, three generations of life, and the sacrifice does not go beyond hope, which means that the gods sacrificed in the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods do not exceed the territory of their own country, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the king of Chu Zhao was sick, and Wu Zhu said that he would sacrifice the river to pray for blessings, but the king of Chu would rather die than agree."
When the Han Dynasty ruled the world, he began to sort out the chaotic gods of the pre-Qin faction, and set the five Yuetai, Hua, Heng, Heng, Song, the Yellow River, Huaishui, the Yangtze River, and Jishui, and the Son of Heaven sacrificed to the world's famous mountains and rivers, and the five mountains regarded the three princes and the four princes, and the four sacrifices could not fall, so as to ensure that the wind and rain in the Central Plains were smooth.Speaking of which, Zhang Qian and Sima Qian made a mistake, thinking that the source of the Yellow River lies in the Kunlun Mountains south of Khotan, and they sneaked underground through Lop Nur and ran to Jishi Mountain near Jincheng County and then came out.When Ren Hong was the protector of the capital, he publicized this erroneous geographical knowledge, and let the Western Regions Protectorate hold a large-scale sacrifice to the "source of the Yellow River" once a year, and through the positioning of the source of the Yellow River, the view that the Western Regions is an extension of the Central Plains will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and see who will give up at every turn in the future.Fu Jiezi's son Fu Chang suddenly said: "In this way, General Huo sealed the wolf Juxu Mountain to sacrifice to the sky, and the Zen Guyan Mountain to sacrifice to the earth, is it not in accordance with the etiquette system?"
”"It was instructed by Emperor Xiaowu and deliberately done it."
Ren Hong said: "These two mountains are the holy mountains of the Huns, and it is a great humiliation for the Huns to worship here. ”The war in the classical era was not only a physical contest, but also a clash of spiritual beliefs, and Huo Quai's doing this was like the emperor's accession to the throne in Versailles, which greatly damaged the confidence of the Huns, telling them one thing: the gods can't bless you!
After the generals and lieutenants understood, they were also eager to try, passing by the Xiongnu Holy Mountain, how could they leave without doing anything?"
General, let's seal the wolf again!"
Gan Yanshou's request represents everyone's voice, anyway, the Huns were not caught for 4,000 miles, and the soldiers were in a hurry, and there were three words written on everyone's faces: "Do things!"
”So the question is, how to seal it?
Zhang Qianqiu was also vague: "It is said that it is a sacrifice to the heaven and earth on the white horse of the green ox, and that's it" Some people think that it is boring to repeat simply, Zhao Han'er, who does not believe in Qilian God, only trusts the fake Huns, looking at the wolf Juxu Mountain, the Hun Wuzhu pulled the triangular stone pile of silk and satin imported from the Han Dynasty, and made a bad move: "It is better to paint it with the color of Tude that can represent the Han Dynasty" Han color is still yellow, Zhao Han'er's meaning is to make some yellow up, Fu Chang is a little incomprehensible, saying that although the army out of the jam also brought the glue paint to repair the vehicle, But the golden paint was not, but Zhao Han'er laughed and patted his stomach."
Lieutenant Zuo of the assistant army has forgotten that the things of Tude are not in our wombs, right?
The sum of 60,000 soldiers is enough to change the color of the entire Wolf Juxu!
”The veteran Wang Ping smiled so hard that his stomach hurt, and he agreed very much, Zhao Han'er was going to, pee, and desecrate the Xiongnu Holy Land in Wolf Juxu!
But this suggestion was rejected by Ren Hong, and he did not object to his individual behavior, but the collective wilderness was exempted.It's too low!
Is this what a righteous teacher can do?
Their expedition will be 100% recorded in history, to keep a commemoration, but also to have something that can hit the enemy's morale and faith, let themselves pretend to be forced, and not be considered too low by future generations Speaking of low quality, Zhang Qianqiu remembered an interesting story.He proposed to Ren Hong: "When I was in Yunzhong County, I heard an interesting anecdote that King Wuling of Zhao asked the craftsman to use a hook ladder to climb Fanwu Mountain, carve a big foot three feet wide and five feet long, and said that the master father tasted it here in the side of the stone. ”The low-quality is not only King Zhao Wuling, after hearing about this with his contemporary, King Qin Zhao of his time heard about it, and also climbed the Cihua Mountain, carved a stone Liubo chessboard on the top of the mountain, with the heart of the pine and cypress as the Bo, the arrow is eight feet long, the chess is eight inches long, and also blows a big cowhide, Le Shi said: "King Zhao tastes and the gods of heaven Bo here." ”Later, whenever Qin Shi Huang traveled to a place, especially by the sea, he would engage in stone carvings written by Li Si, which was really influenced by these two."
That's a great idea."
Ren Hong laughed, the army still has to march west, there is no time to carve a tirade on the stone, it is better to simply let the soldiers be happy and boost their morale.So, Ren Hong followed Huo's illness, and also killed the green cow and white horse to sprinkle blood on the Wolf Juxu Mountain, and picked a big stone for the Huns to sacrifice to, carved a radish iron hoof print, and let Zhang Qianqiu, who can write a good hand, write with pen and ink, and then carve a moment casually.When the morale of the Han army was revived, the fatigue was swept away, and when they left the wolf house in laughter, only a horse's big left front hoof print and several columns of Han Li were left on the big stone on the mountainside: "In July of the second year of Jingning, the general of the Han Dynasty Sima Wei Xi'an Hou Hong was sent by the edict of the Son of Heaven to bring 60,000 soldiers to pay homage to the Han Dynasty Sima Hussar General to go to the site of illness" "Come here for a visit!"
”Wolf Juxu Mountain escaped the doom of being smeared with feces and urine by Han soldiers, and in another holy mountain more than 100 miles to the west of it, Guyan Mountain did not have such luck.On the first day of the first month of August, the Han army arrived at Guyan near Shan Yuting, which is different from the bare and mostly rocky wolf Juxu, the vegetation of Guyan Mountain is luxuriant, it is the late autumn in the north of the Saibei, the coniferous forest on the mountain, the birch and the aspen show different colors, green, yellow, red, colorful, very beautiful.The slopes of the foothills are covered with dense Transbaikal pine trees, where the Golden Horde of Shan Yu sits, but now it is empty, only a mess remains, part of the felt tent and vehicles are abandoned in place, it can be seen that they left in a hurry, the time has been a month ago, this is one of the advantages of the country, when you can't fight or don't want to fight, you can run."
If you can run alone, you can't run the mountain."
After Ren Hong said such a sentence, he gave an order, and the officers and men of the three armies immediately got busy, first cooking on the fire in Shan Yuting, and then holding pine torches and following the captains up the mountain, setting fire on the pile of fallen leaves.But the problem is that the steppe north of the Great Wall, from the west of the Xing'an Mountains to the eastern foothills of the Altai Mountains, covers an area of several million square kilometers, spanning several longitudes, the west is arid, the east may rain heavily, the geographical form is complex, rivers, mountains, Gobi, valleys are interspersed, not to mention the wildfires are inexhaustible, and the spring breeze blows and grows.It's even more impossible to sprinkle salt, but you can't burn a grassland, can't you burn a mountain?
The flames, which were sporadic at first, gradually began to spread over the withered deciduous branches, leaping up the straight poplars, causing the pale birch bark to burst into flames, and scorching the boiling resin of the centuries-old coniferous forest, adding fuel to the fire.After a few hours of arson, night fell, the sacred mountain peak of the Guyan Mountains near Shan Yuting had become a fire field, everywhere was full of flames, the west wind blew, the forest covered with flames on the canopy was shaking slightly, countless deer, sheep, rabbits, and foxes were running frantically, and then they were all wiped out by the Han army waiting outside to replenish their rations.The hinterland of the Huns seems to have been erected by Ren Hong with a huge torch!
The light could be seen dozens of miles away, but in the eyes of the Han army, this was a large-scale bonfire party.The next day, the fire did not weaken in the slightest, but intensified, and today the wind was lighter, and the rising smoke gathered into a huge mushroom cloud, thousands of feet high, obscuring a third of the sky, which could be seen even north of Yuwushui, a hundred miles away.Those Huns who did not leave, looking at the burning Guyan Mountain, all fell to the ground, wept bitterly, and after getting up, they drove the cattle and sheep and hid further.On this day, the god of the Huns died.The Beihai general is like a monkey who has penetrated into the belly of his sister-in-law, and all kinds of joy have turned the hinterland of the Huns upside down, and the battle can be more than Wei Qing's burning of Longcheng and Zhao Xincheng.But what disappointed Ren Hong was that the main force of the Huns, who should have been wandering in Yuwushui and Zhijushui, was not provoked by this provocation, and Da Shan Yu waved his division to come to the battle, Zhao Han'er and Zhang Qianqiu patrolled hundreds of miles away with partial divisions, and went to Yuwushui, but only caught some scattered herdsmen, saying that Shan Yu's army went to the west more than 20 days ago.Gan Yanshou frowned: "Shan Yu is going to find the decisive battle of General Zhao's middle route army?"
”That's good, when the enemy temple was calculated in Chang'an, the generals of the Han Dynasty learned from the previous wars that the Han army attacked in many ways, but failed to form a superior force, coupled with slow action, lost the suddenness of the battle, and gave the Xiongnu time to fully prepare, and the lessons of repeated setbacks or futile returns, only divided into three routes.The two roads marched hand in hand and approached Shan Yuting, no matter which side Shan Yu chose to attack, they could not completely win, at most they held each other, and the other way could come closer to participate in the battle, or they could send light cavalry to gallop north of Yuwushui, destroy the Huns' tribal baggage without the protection of young and strong, and let the morale of the Shan Yu army on the front line be greatly disrupted.The Western Route Army was responsible for blocking the road of the Xiongnu to the west, in order to achieve a complete victory, and the Han envoy Wu Zongnian would fight against the Right Xian Wang.But things don't seem to go according to their script, the Xiongnu are not the kind of Qiang people who are iron-hearted, they can compete with the Han army for decades, first defeat and then victory, and they are tactically respectable opponents, they may not follow the script planned by Chang'an, and bring some surprises to the Han army The army continued to march to the west, and the forward and Zhao Chongguo sent the scouts to the north to converge, and the two sides exchanged information, only to find that there were no Xiongnu tents in Yuwu Shuibei, and they had already followed Shan Yu to the west and north After evacuating, Ren Hong looked at the west and his face sank.It's really amazing, the Huns were really able to resist the sacrifice of giving up the holy mountain and the loss of distant migration, and made the most uncomfortable decision for the Han army.Is it the hidden main force that began to play hide and seek with the Han army on the vast grassland of millions of square kilometers?
Or do you want to move west, intending to destroy the Western Route Army first?
It was clearly an autumn day, but a dense fog of war seemed to have shrouded Ren Hong, and this war became confusing.Every step he takes is unknown, every decision is an adventure, the victory or defeat of the war, the life and death of 60,000 people, are tied to his command, just like the situation that Wei Qing and Huo Qu faced after the end of their illness.This is an experience that has not been experienced in the past life and this life, the heavy burden is pressed on the shoulders, and behind him is the gaze of hundreds of thousands of pairs and beasts, Ren Hong's scalp is a little numb, if he changes him who first joined the army ten years ago, I am afraid that he has panicked and has no master.But now Xi'an Hou only quietly stretched out his hand to loosen his loose armor, and scolded two words in a sharp voice."
Exciting Burst!"
