5, the north wind is cool
The north wind is cool, the rain is snowy, and the winter is exhausted. At this time of year, nomadic tribes in the north have obtained enough water and grass in order to avoid the wind and snow from the north and allow livestock to obtain enough water and grass. Many people and livestock need to migrate south and look for pastures in the south that can supply a large number of people and livestock for winter.
Dingling people are one of the migration tides.
On the grassland, they are also a tribe with an ancient history. They are nomadic on the North Sea, using tall cars with carts with large wheels, and the myths and legends of their tribes are spread.
Unfortunately, the Xiongnu, the Xianbei repeatedly invaded the homes of the Dingling people in the north, and countless blood and tears of the Dingling people flowed by the North Sea. "Towards Dingling from the North" became the achievement of almost every grassland overlord. In the power to fight, surrender and obedience became one of the laws of survival of the Dingling people.
Although the Xianbei people are not as strong as before and cannot control their strength to the North Sea, the Dingling people can finally break free from their slavery, but after the Xianbei people's horse hooves, the Dingling people, who are suffering, face a huge and difficult test.
In recent years, the weather in the northern grasslands has become particularly cold, and the ice age in the North Sea is getting longer and longer. Food such as grass, fish, animals are becoming increasingly scarce. Due to the lack of food in the tribe, the number of people and animals frozen to death and frostbite has also increased. The wizards in the tribe are helpless and can only admit that this is the punishment of the heavenly punishment used by the Heaven of Changsheng to punish the people.
At no cost, the Dingling people could only hold a sacrificial meeting and disperse the tribes with the instructions of the will of heaven. Some tribes continued to stay by the North Sea, while the remaining tribes followed the instructions of heaven and began a long and long migratory journey.
Various legends are circulating on the boundless grasslands, which help the people of immortality understand this land.
The people of Dingling who moved south knew that the grasslands in the south of the desert, especially the grasslands on the southern foot of the Yin Mountains, were the best. Unfortunately, the large grasslands from west to east were occupied by the overlord of the grasslands. The Huns even had to flee in front of the Xianbei people, let alone other tribes that were inferior to the Huns.
There is no place for Dingling people to live in the grassland on the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain.
The migrating Dingling people could only continue to look for pastures to the southwest that could provide tribes with habitat until they arrived at Juyanze, which was like the pearl of the grassland.
Juyan originated from the Xiongnu language, with a warm climate and abundant water and grass. It is composed of three lakes in the east, west and north. In addition to lush grasslands and drought-tolerant plants such as trees, poplar and red willows, the Dingling people also saw geese, swans, ducks, and countless fish that were moving down the lake that had not yet frozen.
This made Dingling, who was far away from his homeland, temporarily forget the cold winter and think of their hometown of Beihai, how similar the scenery in front of him is.
Countless Dingling people stopped the horse and shed tears excitedly. They knelt on the ground and prayed to Changshengtian with the tribal wizards, thanking God for allowing them to find another new home.
However, someone came soon and broke Dingling's dream.
An envoy who claimed to be a Han official told them that this land was a military farm for the Han people and a place for horse herding. Although the military and civilians who had once been military farmed had withdrawn to the mainland, the Han general who recovered the lost land had already established a new maid garden here, and only the horses shedding were left here. The guards of the Han soldiers and civilians and the Qiang and Hu tribes that served the Han generals. Other tribes must leave as soon as possible, otherwise they would attract the expulsion of the army.
But the Dingling people who were sleeping all the way and were jogging and jogging were obviously unwilling to leave. They always expressed their willingness to be loyal to the Han general he mentioned in exchange for a pasture for the tribe's people and animals to rest, but the Dingling people decisively rejected them.
In the increasingly cold winter, the coveted grassland, the Hu tribe with ulterior motives, how could Han officials take huge risks and take in Dingling people with a large number of people?
So, the Dingling people asked for the exchange of foals and furs to allow their tribes to spend this cold winter in Juyanze. When the spring comes and flowers bloom and the foals are born, they will migrate and continue to find their new home in their dreams.
But the strict Han officials rejected them again. When the Han people thought that taking advantage of the weak Hu tribes that had migrated and passed by, it was the best way to drive them away as soon as possible. Once these ulterior motives of Hu tribes were settled in Juyanze, people would be willing to relocate to the land. When the spring of tomorrow and the strength of their tribe recovered, who would know if they would feel regretful and occupy the vast land of Juyanze.
Helplessly, after Dingling had to exchange supplies, he was urging by the Han envoys to set off on the road and switched to the northwest to continue migrating.
As a result, just when the Han officials thought they had sent away a hot potato, a tribe of Dingling unexpectedly returned to Juyanze and attacked the beacon towers in the border areas. Then they drove straight in, plundered the Han people's pastoral gardens in Juyanze, took the Han people's war horses and food for themselves, and annexed the neighboring weak tribes, occupying the pearl on Juyanze, the grassland.
The Dingling tribe's adults sent a small group of people to continue to go deeper south to plunder the food, grass and livestock of the Han people. It was a vicious act of hunger and food, fearlessness, and no longer worried about the Han generals and his army mentioned by the dead Han officials.
···
On the night after the incident, he ran on the road, and the rushing letter of the feathered edict was sent into the city of Guide.
Yang Feng, the general of Anxi who was guarding Zhangye, convened an emergency military discussion overnight to discuss this resistance and to fight against the military invading Ding Linghu.
In the lobby, multiple stoves emitted a hot air, causing the temperature to rise sharply, and it looked like two seasons with the vestibule outside the hall. The captain Pang De held a candlestick in his hand and was surrounding the map with other military officials. Combined with the military newspaper at hand, he analyzed Yang Feng, the general:
"General, this invading Hu people is the Lichi tribe of Xidingling, and belongs to a large tribe of the Dingling people nomadly in the North Sea. The border people call it Dingling Hu."
"The population of the Yichi tribe is said to have thousands of tents and nearly ten thousand. Its strength is among the middle and lower levels on the grassland. It should be trapped by the wind and snow in the north, taking risks, going south to plunder the hungry and cold bandits in the border areas, and the military officials in Juyanze were lax in defense, which gave these trapped Hu people an opportunity to take advantage of it."
"At the moment when the troops of the Chuangzhi were relieved, they dared to send troops south and plunder in depth, which shows that the person is very ambitious. In order to prevent the strength of Ding Ling and Hu people from recovering, the general recruited other grassland tribes and needed to advance troops as soon as possible to ensure the hearts of the Han and Hu military and civilians in the territory."
"General, please be the vanguard and the army guide in the lower army, and attack Ding Linghu!"
After listening patiently to the discussions of the military officers under his command, Yang Feng had already made a decision in his heart.
Although the Dingling Hu people came suddenly and caught the military and civilians in Juyanze off guard, they were hungry and cold, exhausted, and had weak strength. Although they claimed to have nearly 10,000 controls, Yang Feng knew the reality of the Hu tribe on the grassland. They were not concerned about the old and strong men and women. As long as they could get on horses and fire bows, they could become soldiers. The number of mobilized people was enough. However, once they encountered a real elite army, if the battle situation was slightly unfavorable, they would immediately scatter, and they were not a tricky enemy.
Yang Feng was preparing to summon Hu and Han troops as soon as possible, and sent troops to attack the invading Ding Linghu in three days.
I must not let this group of Ding Linghu disturb the stability under Zhangye's rule.
As the second general under Yan Xing to obtain a miscellaneous general after Ganling, Yang Feng knew why Yan wanted to garrison Zhangye and guard the land of Hexi.
The land of Hexi is too important to the safety of Liangzhou, and the land of Hexi is the most critical of the gains and losses of the two counties of Wuwei and Zhangye.
At the beginning of this dynasty, Dou Rong, who ruled Hexi, once said: "Hexi is rich and has a strong river. Zhangye's vassal state has tens of elite soldiers and cavalry. Once the emergency is slowed down, Hejin will be eliminated and he will be able to defend himself. This is the place of remnants."
The richest city of Hexi, the first to be Wuwei, was a city traded by Hu and Han, and was known as "the city is full of every day, and every county is full of money and will accumulate for a few months." It can be said that it is the richest city in Hexi, with warehouses and wealthy people.
However, if we want to talk about the strength of the troops, Zhangye is the one who belongs to Zhangye. A county adjacent to the Zhangye vassal state and the Yan vassal state. In addition to the Hu and Han vassal state, it also has the largest horse-raising land in Hexi. The war horses produced in various pastoral gardens are well-proportioned, thick and strong, strong, strong, resistant to rough feeding, have good adaptability, and are both good horses that are carried by the army and use both.
At present, there are more than 30,000 horses in various maid gardens in Zhangye. This is an important guarantee for the combat effectiveness of the cavalry under the command of the General of the Cavalry, and it must not be lost.
Yang Feng had decided to send an edict to Wuwei and Jiuquan counties overnight to Zhang Ji and Zhao Hong, the prefects of Yiconghu, Lushuihu, neighbors Dai Qiang, Dianna Qiang and other Qianghu soldiers, and together with the troops of the three counties, they launched an anti-suppression of Dingling Hu who occupied Juyanze.
After the military order was issued, Pang De and other military officials hurriedly took the order and ordered the officials and soldiers on duty to wake him up in time if they had emergency military information. Yang Feng, who was tired, turned around and returned to the inner hall.
Yang Feng, who returned to his dormitory, saw the cold and empty bedding, and smiled bitterly, without letting his servants enter, he took off his leather boots, foot clothes, and slept with his clothes.
Some generals and officers in the army also envied themselves for marrying the only sister of General Cavalry. Not only did they stand out among the generals and hold great power, but their future prospects were limitless, which was no longer simply a title for the general.
But how could they know the bitterness of this?
How could a "lady" of the Yan family who could take female soldiers to no longer see anyone and have fun all day long, so how could she be willing to be a gentle and virtuous wife of a rude military man?
No wonder I heard that those "good son-in-law" who were favored by the emperor in the past were mostly unwilling to accept it, and even would rather use hunger strike to resist Princess Shang.
