Brilliant and short-lived strong man general star - Hussar General Huo Fuyi (8) Main writer: Idle Lesheng
In the Battle of Mobei, Huo went ill and defeated the Xiongnu, and the remnants of King Zuoxian fled to Hanhai (present-day Lake Baikal, Russia), which was the territory of the Xiongnu vassal state of Ding Zero, which was a glacial area in the far north, and it was impossible for the Han to pursue it. Huo went to the disease with the power of great victory, sealed the wolf Juxu, zen Yu Guyan.
After the zen ceremony, the crowd stood on the top of Mount Guyan, overlooking the entire Mongolian plateau, and were overwhelmed by this magnificent scenery. In the ear, the sound of the wind blowing came from every grass tip, and the turquoise sound fell and tumbled in large areas among the rolling green mountains. Under the sky, the Han flag is like a cloud, and the country and mountains are picturesque.
We came, we saw, we stepped on our feet.
After a long time, the deputy general Lu Bode bowed to Huo and said, "Now our army has sealed the wolf Juxu, Zen Yu Guyan, and the merit is extreme!" Please show the general, when will the army return to the Dynasty? ”
Huo went to the sick head and did not return and said, "Taishou has forgotten the words of the day of the illness?" This time, even if I pursue the north pole of the end of the world, the Stars of the Han Sea, I will completely destroy the Left King's troops! Pass on the order, the army rest for three days, and after three days, continue to march north! ”
Everyone is stupid, why do you want to go north? Further north is the Siberian IceField!
"So what?" Huo went to sickly and said coldly.
Everyone stopped talking. Everyone is thinking, although the road ahead is a long ice field, there must be many brothers and brothers who will die in the middle of the road, but everyone understands that it is not a pity to go so far and not to achieve complete success.
As we all know, China's defense in the north is the most difficult in the world. India is bordered by the Himalayas to the northeast, mountains and deserts to the west, sea to the south, and only a Khyber Pass to the northwest for nomadic incursions; the same is true of Rome, which can be said to have no way to access except for the natural dangers of the Alps. Only the long border defense in northern China, thousands of miles away, there is no danger to strangle, although Qin Shi Huang exhausted the people's strength to build the Great Wall, but there are holes everywhere that are difficult to be considered, to prevent large-scale invasion can be, encounter thousands of cavalry intrusion is really invincible. Therefore, Emperor Wu of Han was extremely powerful and indifferent to the expedition, and wanted to annihilate the main force of the Xiongnu once and for all, so as to seek peace for the world for more than ten hundred years.
In short, the heavy responsibility of the history of the Great Han Huaxia lies on the shoulders of these more than 40,000 Han troops, can everyone retreat?
Can you? Can you!?
Everyone looked at Huo Tou, looked at this invincible young marshal, and his heart was surging and he didn't know what to do.
For a moment, only the mountain wind whistled, the four fields were silent, and the extreme eyes were all thick clouds rolling in the sky, just like thousands of armies and horses surrounded the majestic and heroic Huo Qi, who was full of vigor and vigor, and surged upwards, upwards...
Suddenly, Huo Wentai unfurled his battle robes, draped in the wind, and raised his head with an eagle roar, and the heavens and earth were moved.
——The armies obeyed the orders and followed me north to level the Hu Domain!
The forty thousand Han army generals who stretched endlessly under the mountain were also moved, and everyone should shout in unison, and their voices resounded through the clouds and reverberated for a long time.
- The general is invincible and invincible; the army is facing north, and it is invincible!
Suddenly, Lubod's whole soul was shaken, and he thought that he would never forget the scene in front of him in his life.
In classical poetry, the three words "chasing yao" are a frequent image, because this is the biggest dream of literati throughout the ages. Chase, follow the meaning also.
Not being able to be a hero, being able to follow a hero is also a great honor and a blessing.
Therefore, the army continued to march north, and after many hardships and hardships, snow, and frost, it finally came to Hanhai. The so-called Hanhai, quoted in the "Interpretation of the Collected Histories", is as follows: "Hanhai, the name of the North Sea." And Zhang Shoujie said in the "History of Justice": "According to the hanhai, the hanhai is named after a sea, and the birds are feathered here, because the name is also." "This is an important habitat for migratory birds in Asia and the largest freshwater lake in the world, Lake Baikal.
Coming to this far north land, Huo Fu was shocked for a moment. Only to see the lake water is as clear as the air through the water, surrounded by silver mountains and snow trees, the two phases of the glow, strange and unrelenting, dazzling.
Who would have thought that in this icy Siberian wasteland, there was such a huge blue eye, no wonder Zuo Xian Wang wanted to run here, this is simply a fairyland on earth!
Not only was the Han army surprised, but Uwei was also stunned, so that the Han army could also chase after it, what kind of world was this, and let no one live!
Only Huo went to the disease and was not surprised, not only was he not surprised, but instead he put the wine line in front of him, looked at Uvi from afar, and invited him to come and have a drink.
At this time, Huo went ill, Bai Qiu Shengxue, and his eyebrows were picturesque, and although he stood there with absolute elegance and arrogance, he didn't seem to be half-murderous, but even so, Uwei still didn't dare to go, and the fool went.
Huo went to the sick haha laughed, toasted himself to drink the wind and snow, and with a wave of his hand, the Han army came out like a tide.
Uvi had nowhere to flee, so he had to lead his troops to the battle and do the final battle of the trapped beasts.
Huo went to the sick to use soldiers, "often with strong horses before his army", never charged ahead, facing the enemy command. But this time it was a special case, because the Xiongnu army was at the end of the road, he was full of confidence, so he did not worry, but still sat where he was, drinking wine, while chanting loudly:
"The four Yi are protected, and the Xia Kangxi is protected." The country is peaceful and happy. Carry the gango, the bow and arrow hide the. The unicorn comes to zhen, and the phoenix soars. Protected by heaven, never boundaries. Kiss for a hundred years, each extended. (From the "Han Poetry Collection, Qin Song")
It seems that Huo's illness is still quite literary, which can be called both literary and martial. The "Table of the Three Kings of Feudalism" and the Tuntian Zhushu that he later played to the imperial court were also literary and flying, and the two Han articles could not be matched.
Back on the battlefield, huo went to the sick urn of wine on this side, a little drunk, and the Han army had returned from a great victory. Zuo Xian's king Wu Wei was completely annihilated, and he had no choice but to flee alone, not knowing the end. The remaining Ding Zero tribe had to surrender to the Han army in their entirety.
Now, from the steppe to the Gobi, from the Gobi to the desert, from the desert to the mountains, from the mountains to the ice fields, there are no longer large Hun armies. The northern atmosphere was clear, the gods were dead, and Huo's illness was finally complete.
This year, Huo was only twenty-two years old, which was only the beginning of life for many people, but he had already walked a road that many people could not complete in their lifetimes, which was great and unfortunate, because his road had reached its peak and would soon be finished.
In the Battle of Mobei, the Xiongnu lost a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses, and their political center Shan Yuting and the economic center Zhao Xincheng were also destroyed by the Wei Qing Han army, and their strength was hit by an unprecedented heavy blow, and for a long time they were in a state of chaos without a leader, and it turned out that Dadan Yu Yizhi was lost after the fiasco! For more than ten days, Da Dan Yu seemed to evaporate in the human world, and disappeared without a trace.
Not only can the enemy not pursue, but even his own people cannot find it, which is the highest state of escape. It seems that the Xiongnu left and right the xianwang's ability to escape, sending their boss Yi Zhi to a long way away!
Seeing that Yi Zhi's life and death were unknown, the Xiongnu Right Gu Li King stood up with joy and established himself as Shan Yu, thinking that he was calling for the entanglement of the remnants of the Xiongnu. However, Yi Zhixiao did not die, he hid in the mountains until he confirmed that the Han army had completely retreated to the Central Plains, and then he plucked up enough courage to go out of the mountains again. The Right Gu Li King had to announce that he had to go to Shan Yu and return to his original position in frustration, but this person was quite honest. Later, Zhao Xin and Zuo Xian Wang Wuwei also searched for a way back to Yi Zhixiao's side, and the Xiongnu people, who were seriously injured, began to rebuild their homes in the long winter night, and did not dare to enter the south of the desert for more than ten years, and the people of the border counties of the Han Dynasty could finally live a quiet and peaceful life.
Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered the Han army to cross the Yellow River in a big way, from Shuofang in the east to Lingju (in present-day Yongdeng County, Gansu, Lingyinlian), opening canals everywhere, setting up nongdu lieutenants, field guards and other military officials, sending 50,000 or 60,000 officials to this army, turning the former grassland pastures into agricultural areas cultivated with oxen ploughs, and reclaiming pieces of turquoise farmland to gradually encroach on the homeland of the Xiongnu to the north. Historian Huang Renyu believes that after less than 15 inches of rain per year, it is impossible to operate agriculture, which is basically correct, but there are special cases, such as the Hexi region, where many large rivers originate from the snow in Qilian, which can divert water to irrelevant. At its peak, the Han Dynasty had a total of 300,000 or 400,000 immigrants in Hexi, and if Shuofang added 600,000 to 700,000 immigrants, this could not be achieved without the support of developed agriculture. In short, in the Gansu region during the Han Dynasty, the mountains and rivers were beautiful, suitable for farming and grazing, and it was much richer than we thought.
It was not until the rich agricultural areas were used for mid-course supplies that the Silk Road was truly chiseled (Note 1). As Joseph Needham's History of Science and Technology in China says: "When the first Chinese caravans arrived in Persia in 106 BC and then entered Rome from Persia, the whole history of the world was thus integrated." ”
In addition, due to the near-collapse of the Xiongnu Zuoxian Wangbu, the Northeastern Wuhuan tribe (Note 2), which was originally ruled by them, also surrendered to the Han Dynasty. In accordance with the old practice of the Hu people in Hexi, Emperor Wu migrated the Wuhuan tribe from the north of the West Lamalun River to Saiwai in the five northeastern counties (Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, and Liaodong) to spy on the Xiongnu for the Han, and set up a "Lieutenant to Protect the Wuhuan", ranked 2,000 stones, to manage and supervise wuhuan in order to sever its ties with the Xiongnu. If the Tongxi Regions is the right arm of the Xiongnu, lian Wuhuan is the left arm of the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu have no second arm, which becomes crippled and greatly reduced.
Note 1 to entry: At the same time, the Xiongnu lost the benefits of the silk trade and suffered a major economic blow.
Note 2: The remnants of donghu, which were destroyed by Mao Dun in the early Han Dynasty, were good at riding and shooting, advocating blood revenge, and were in the late stage of clan society at that time.
