Chapter 913 The wings are hard
Liu Lugu arrived at Shengle again.
After three years, this city has undergone a lot of changes.
There were more domes outside the city, and there were many people standing around them, including men, women, old and young. When they saw Liu Lugu coming, they all fell down.
Liu Lugu watched quietly.
It can be seen from the hair accessories that these people are mainly Xianbei. The reason is very simple. Xianbei and Wuhuan used to braid their hair, but there are differences in the details.
As far as men are concerned, the first type is that there is no hair on the top of the head, but there is hair on the back of the head, which is tied into a single braid hanging down the back of the head;
The second type is that there is no hair on the top of the head, but there is hair on the back of the head, which is tied into double braids;
The third type is that there is no hair around, only a small amount of hair on the top of the head, tied into a single braid;
The fourth type has no hair around, except for a small amount of hair on the top of the head, which is tied into a bun.
Wuhuan men mainly have the latter two types, and the braid at the center of the head is shorter, only about six or seven inches.
The people in front of them, wearing tattered cross-collar tunics, leggings (similar to leggings), and bare feet, are obviously Xianbei Muzi - maybe they were not from Xianbei before becoming Muzi.
People with higher status wear silk or cloth robes, leather boots or felt boots on their feet. Some people even wear gold necklaces around their necks, gold earrings on their ears, and gold and silver rings on their hands - this style But don't know where it comes from.
Liu Lugu glanced around and saw few acquaintances. He sighed immediately. The changes were so different from when Yu Lu was in Pingcheng.
He went straight into the city without any further hesitation.
There were also many soldiers kneeling at the gate of the city, including pro-military guards and tribal soldiers who had surrendered.
Fortunately, Shengle City was relatively intact, and the defenders did not contact the Jin soldiers who were close at hand. Instead, they contacted him first, and then held on to it, and blocked the Jin army's march northward. In the end, the city was filled with goods and goods. Food, craftsmen, and people were put into his hands.
As they entered the city, the sound of horse hooves sounded in the distance.
Liu Lugu stopped subconsciously and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
It was the Jin people's army of catching live creatures. They came back from nowhere and drove a large number of cattle, sheep, and small animals southward in a mighty manner.
"Hmph!" He snorted coldly, flicked his whip, and rode into Shengle.
Several miles away in the northwest, by the Baiqu River, Jin Zheng's camp had been erected.
Nearly 20,000 cavalrymen gathered in one place, shouting that the horses were neighing.
According to recent information, the Huns began to recruit young men from the country in May, and ordered them to assemble in Shangjun. They arrived in late May, numbering 30,000.
In early June, they advanced to the junction of the two countries. After hearing that Aitou had hastily withdrawn his troops, they were a little hesitant. After inquiring about the news for a few days, they reported back to Chang'an.
A few days ago, Chang'an reported back: continue to advance north, wait for the opportunity, and try to help Tuoba Yihuai recover his country as much as possible.
This action of the Huns is actually not slow.
Recruit 30,000 men, and send orders to various tribes. Then gather people, prepare horses, equipment, and dry food. Half a month is considered fast, and then head north.
The whole process can even be called fast, without any delay. Unfortunately, Jin Zheng was faster and stabbed Shan Wu in one fell swoop, establishing the entire victory.
If we fight step by step, we may still be entangled with the cable-headed cavalry in Mayi, carefully protecting the grain road.
"Where is the king?" Jin Zheng looked at the Xianbei cavalry rushing south and asked his staff Zhen Pian.
"We are heading towards Daihai." Zhen Pian replied.
Jin Zheng was silent for a moment and said: "I don't think it's right."
After that, he wandered for a few steps on the grass and said: "If all the Xianbei rebels, Mayi and Pingcheng attack and kill the heavy troops, and the food supply is not continued, then we will be all alone."
Zhen Pian was also worried about this, but now that the matter was at this point, he could only think of the bright side. He only heard him say: "Zuo Xiao's cavalry guard stayed behind at Shan Wu, and there is no serious problem. Kuang Sheng Le has a new acquisition. If he doesn't come here, everyone will All of them are owned by the Wang family.”
"Even if they come, these bitches may not obey." Jin Zheng sneered.
Zhen Pian did not refute.
This place is Dingxiang County of the Han Dynasty, and Shengle is even within the territory of Chengle County of the Han Dynasty (ten kilometers north of today's Horinger). To the west are Wuyuan and Shuofang counties, both of which were old counties of the Han Dynasty. But the problem is that now there is no Han Chinese to be found.
Some people may say that the Han people must have it. But if someone doesn’t speak Chinese, wears Xianbei clothes, lives a daily life of Xianbei customs, speaks Xianbei or Wuhuan language, and herds cattle and sheep, are they still Han people? Of course not.
To put it harshly, the Xianbei people who have lived in the Central Plains for several generations like those in Youzhou Tuqidu have changed their surnames to Chinese, speak Chinese, celebrate Han festivals, and their families farm and weave. Their lives are no different from those of the Han people. These talents are more like Han people.
Henan, where there are no Han people, is surrounded by enemies with ulterior motives. Once they rebel, it will be very dangerous.
In such a situation, to be honest, it is impossible to actually rule in the short term.
To some extent, Shengle is more difficult than Pingcheng.
After all, Pingcheng is closer to the Central Plains and still has some farming habits. There are more Wuhuan people who are familiar with the customs and culture of the Central Plains and are easier to deal with. This may be the main reason why Shengle is the old Xianbei Party base and Pingcheng is the new Party base. reason.
In Kim Jong's view, this area has only military value and no governance value.
But under the current circumstances, it is not easy to maintain a military presence.
If Shangjun and other places are in our hands and there are a large number of Han people, then there is no problem in expanding to Shengle.
But now that Bingzhou has passed Pingyang, almost all of them are barbarians, more than half of Guanzhong are barbarians, and Henan is all barbarians, which makes it difficult to rule.
If one mistake is not made, the soldiers and horses stationed in Shengle will be destroyed, just like when Gongsun Zan was surrounded by Wuhuan people in Guanzi City and could not break out for more than 200 days. In the end, even the cowhide on the shield was boiled and eaten. It was terrible to watch.
"No, I have to advise the king not to come to Shengle." Jin Zheng made up his mind with his fist, and said: "This ghost place is not worth the risk."
Zhen Pian pondered for a moment.
Although he felt that Kim Jong might be a bit unfounded, he thought about it and did not stop him after all.
If the King of Liang is causing trouble here and urgently needs to win over the Xianbei tribes for his own use, then he must come, otherwise it will not be possible. But now that he had captured most of the north, there was no need to take risks.
Some things are handled differently in different locations.
******
By the banks of the Wo River, thousands of horses surged forward with astonishing momentum. The curtains of the dome house were lifted, and Liu Ye, who was wearing a white knee-length silk robe with a round collar, had an extremely charming face, and his brows and eyes were full of spring-like joy.
She took a horse from a servant.
The horse comes from Guangchengze. It is tall and has a strong temper. It has not been tamed much.
Liu Yena quietly walked past the horse, jumped on the horse's back like lightning, and hugged the horse's neck tightly.
The horse suddenly struggled and tried to get rid of the woman on its back while running forward at lightning speed.
Sometimes its hind hooves fly up, sometimes it looks for a slope to lean forward, and there are even cases where its four hooves fly up.
Liu Ye was thrown off twice. Once she stood firm, and once she rolled to relieve her strength, he quickly caught up with the horse again and crossed over.
The man and the horse were entangled for a long time, during which Liu Ye was thrown away for the third time, but she was not convinced, and chased after her with a red face. She hugged the horse's neck tightly, grabbed the mane, and refused to let go no matter how hard it was thrown. .
At the end, perhaps the horse was tired and snorted, temporarily subdued.
Liu Ye pinched the horse's belly, and the horse reluctantly started running faster and faster.
The Jieren cavalry who were advancing not far away saw it and immediately cheered from the bottom of their hearts.
Liu Ye was wearing a white robe, riding white lightning, and galloped far to the hills, echoing the blue sky and white clouds, as if he were an elf on the grassland.
Shao Xun walked out of the Qionglu, took the horse rein from the soldier, jumped up, the black horse neighed, and galloped away with all four hooves flying.
The white horse rushed down from the hill and joined the black horse. Slowly, the two horses rode side by side. A man and a woman looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.
The black horse and the white horse are getting closer and closer, and so are the men and women.
Shao Xun stretched out his hand, took Liu Yena into his arms, placed him in front of him, and the two of them rode together.
The female man who had been taming the fierce horse just now was as gentle as water. She only said softly: "Jin Zheng even told you not to go to Shengle. It is so dangerous. Mrs. Wang has a treacherous mind. She will definitely harm you."
"Go to Shengle and meet Shi Le for a while." Shao Xun said.
Liu Yena gently pinched his thigh.
Shao Xun hugged her tightly, extremely proud.
"I've called for another 10,000 cavalry for you." Liu Ye, nestled in his arms, turned his head and looked at the man's profile and said.
"As long as you come here alone, I only want you." Shao Xun lowered his head and kissed the woman's forehead and said.
Liu Ye turned his head away, with a shy smile on his face.
"If she dares to harm you, I will shoot her to death with one arrow." Liu Ye said softly.
Shao Xun looked at the meandering river in front of him, at the endless sage grass, at the cattle and sheep looming in the grass, and looked at it all like an exotic custom, and remained silent for a long time.
Liu Ye turned his head and looked at him in confusion.
"Life is only a few decades, and there are a lot of things I want to do and a lot of things I want to get." Shao Xun sighed lightly and said, "So sometimes I say words and do things that go against my heart, and in the end I find that everything is... It’s all in vain, it’s all in vain, do you hate it?”
"I hate it," Liu Ye said.
Shao Xun pointed to the mountains and rivers around him and said: "I want to seize it all. Although I know that this is not something that one generation can accomplish, I still can't help but do it. I always want to finish it and benefit future generations." My children and grandchildren can worry less and worry less. If I think too much, sometimes I will become unlike myself and will hurt many people and let down many people. ”
Liu Ye was stunned for a long time before saying: "She is ambitious. She may have wanted to escape from your control."
Shao Xun smiled, looked down at the woman in his arms, but couldn't resist her concerned eyes, so he looked away suddenly, feeling a little confused.
The overwhelming Jie cavalry passed by from a distance, carrying swords and bows, rushing like an endless tide.
She can call for 10,000 cavalry, as well as 30,000 or 50,000...
The horse jumped up the ridge and stopped.
At the foot of the mountain is endless grassland.
In the middle of the grassland are dotted lakes, the largest of which is green and pleasant, embedded in the vast grassland like eyes.
The white clouds are lingering and the pine waves are bursting.
In the dome in the middle of the green grass, a woman in red opened the curtain and looked over.
Around the Qionglu, there are many banners, and countless soldiers stand on horseback, blowing the desolate and deep horns.
The woman moved forward.
The nobles and generals standing on the left and right all bowed to the ground.
The soldiers from Silver Spear's right battalion surged down the mountain and soon covered the entire wilderness.
The woman didn't seem worried at all, she just stood by the lake and looked straight this way.
Shao Xun put Liu Yena down.
The woman's face was a little unhappy, and she didn't like to hide her feelings.
Shao Xun held her hand and walked down the mountain ridge, his steps neither fast nor slow.
Liu Ye Na gradually became happy and looked closely at the woman in red.
The woman in red had a calm expression.
She was surrounded by warriors holding halberds and shields. At a rough count, there were thousands of them.
After the nobles in colorful clothes stood up, they all gathered around her, like stars over the moon, adding a bit of power to her.
"The wings are so hard..." Shao Xun chuckled softly.
