Chapter 86 [The slaughter of the slaughter]
(Khan, guess wrong... The alliance is still very supportive, thank you.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Don't slaughter each Hu? These Hu people don't slaughter each Hu!"
Zhao Yun, Xiahou Lan, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao and other Changshan people, when they heard that these Hu people who were chasing their niece were Xiu Tu Gehu, they all changed their expressions. Only Ma Han and Guan Hai remained unchanged - Guan Hai was from Beihai and had never had contact with Hu people. They were not aware of their power, and the ignorant people were fearless. On the contrary, he fought with Hu people in Mobei for a whole year, and had no idea how many Hu people were infected with. He was known as the "Hub nemesis", so how could he take Hu people seriously? Although he knew that Xiu Tu Gehu was an authentic Hu people, unlike the Xianbei and Wuwan in the past, it was no longer as good as the past. The Huns in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, and were no longer the same as the Huns in the Wu Han Dynasty.
Ma Han shot and killed nine people, leaving only one living mouth, in order to find out the origin of the Hu people, the interrogation work was left to his subordinate Langya Feiqi, because only Ma Han and Twenty Langya Feiqi were familiar with the Huns. Only in this trial did he learn that a great battle was about to take place in Changshan.
How could the Huns come to Changshan, Jizhou? To clarify this issue, you must first understand the origin of Xiu Tu Gehu.
During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, King Hunxie and King Xiu Tu of the Huns were repeatedly attacked by the Han army and were dissatisfied with the Huns' Shanyu Yizhixie, so he discussed surrendering to the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of Han naturally expressed great welcome after learning about it and specially sent General Huns General Huns to lead his troops to meet the two Xiongnu "uprising troops". Huo Qubing led a large army to welcome King Hunxie and King Xiu Tu, and prepared as many as 20,000 vehicles. Such a grand specification not only showed the importance of the Han Empire, but also to prevent the Huns from using a trick of surrender to deceive themselves. As a result, when the surrendered Xiongnu team met with the welcome Han army, the troops under Huo Qubing were greeted with a scattered momentum, and to be precise, they came forward in the form of preparation for the battle. The Han army had sincerity to surrender, but they had enough reason to remain vigilant to avoid being deceived. The Huns also surrendered sincerely, but they had enough reason to think that they had been deceived.
As a result, a good surrender was defeated and turned into an encirclement and annihilation. King Xiu Tu was shocked and angry, but he was killed by the staunch surrendered king Hunxie, forcing the tribes of the two tribes to surrender together. Before the battle started, the tribes of Xiu Tu had lost their heads and many tribes fled. Huo Qubing immediately led his army into the Xiongnu formation and shouted that those who did not move were exempted from death, and then chased and killed more than 8,000 people who refuted to surrender.
King Hunxie was later treated well and was named Luoyin Marquis and placed in the north. However, only a small part of King Xiu Tu, who was killed by King Hunxie, was taken hostage to the Han Dynasty. Most of the tribes separated from the jurisdiction of the Huns and formed their own name, and still retained the name of Xiu Tu. This is the origin of the Xiu Tu tribe, also known as Xiu Tu.
The reason why it is called "Xiu Tu Ge Hu" instead of "Xiu Tu Hu" is because the Xiu Tu tribe is not from the headquarters of the Xiongnu. According to the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty. Ren Yan Biography", Xiu Tu is a "mixed Hu". Most of the tribes are conquered and captured by the Xiongnu people in the Western Regions, such as the Yuezhi people, Wusun people, Kucha people, Qimi people, Kunjian people, Dingling people, etc., so many Hu people live in one section, which is a complete "mixed Hu". The official call "mixed Hu" is not nice. Therefore, it is called "Xiu Tu Ge Hu". Although Xiu Tu Ge Hu is a mixed Hu, over the past few hundred years, they have been married to each other, and their customs are no different from those of the Xiongnu.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, King Rizhu of the Xiongnu led more than 40,000 people to the Han Dynasty to support the Han Dynasty and was placed at the junction of the three counties of Wuyuan, Xihe and Yanmen in Bingzhou by the Han Dynasty. It was the southern Xiongnu. The area was also the residence of the Xiutu tribe for generations. Needless to say, the Han Dynasty tied the two wolves together and wanted to exorcise each other. These two Huns were also in wartime and time, but no one could swallow each other.
Xiu Tu Gehu and the Southern Xiongnu absolutely rebelled against the unstable elements of the Han Dynasty, especially at the end of the Han Dynasty, which was disturbing the wind and rain. The most typical example was that in the fifth year of Hanzhongping (188), Xiu Tu Gehu rebelled, attacked Xihe County, killed the county magistrate Xing Ji, and soon attacked and killed the governor of Bingzhou Zhang Yi. The Han Dynasty sent Dong Zhuo, who was then the governor of Bingzhou, to quell the rebellion, but before he could set off, a general He Jin was killed by the eunuch group in the court. The chaos in the court was in chaos, and Dong Pang immediately stopped moving and waited for an opportunity to take action. Xiu Tu Gehu escaped.
In the same year, the Southern Xiongnu Shanyu Yu Fuluo, who were stationed in Hanoi, was not willing to be lonely. He joined forces with the Yellow Turbans and Baibo to rebel, plunder Taiyuan and Hedong, causing a bloody storm.
This time, Xiu Tu Hu cavalry appeared in Changshan County. In fact, Xiu Tu troops and the Southern Xiongnu joined forces with the Heishan Army to attack Yuan Shao. In other words, they took advantage of the opportunity of Yuan Shao's troops transferring south and the central part was empty to pull Yuan Shao's back. What are the grudges between these Hu people and Yuan Shao?
This dates back to three years ago, when the Guandong princes alliance attacked Dong Zhuo in the first year of Chuping (190). At that time, Yu Fuluo and Yuan Shao and Zhang Yang joined forces to station troops in the Zhangshui of Henei County. Later, Yu Fuluo was lured by Dong Zhuo, led troops to rebel, and kidnapped the Hanoi prefect Zhang Yang. Yuan Shao sent general Tuo Yi to attack him. To the south of Yecheng, Tuo Yi defeated the Fuluo cavalry army with his first crossbow formation. After Yu Fuluo's defeat, he kidnapped Zhang Yang and retreated to Liyang, defeated the Duliao General Geng Zhi, collected all his troops and food, gained a foothold, and his power was reorganized.
The hatred between the two sides was formed. From then on, no matter who Yuan Shao fought with, the Huns would always get into trouble. For example, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao fought, and the Huns sent troops to assist in the war; the two Yuans were in harmony and brothers fought, and the Huns helped Yuan Shu fight against Yuan Shao; this time Yuan Shao attacked the Heishan army, and the Huns had always had a good relationship with Zhang Yan in Heishan, and even regarded Yuan as an enemy enemy. How could there be no reason to roll up their sleeves and help the situation?
However, Yu Fuluo stationed his troops in Hanoi, facing Yecheng in the north. Even if he wanted to help, he could only fight with the Heishan Army and fight against the Yuan army head-on. He could not get around Yuan Shao and give full play to the advantage of cavalry harassment. However, the failure of the Southern Xiongnu to attack does not mean that the Xiu Tu tribe is not good. The Xiu Tu tribe's territory is just west of Yanmen, and from Yanmen County to enter the Jingxing Road in Taihang, traveling from west to east, and as soon as he came out, Changshan County. The cavalry traveled for only five days.
If Jizhou, which is narrow and long, longitudinally from north to south, is like a long snake, then the Xiu Tu tribe's attack hit the waist of the long snake. If it is not done properly, it may even be cut into two pieces, making it difficult for Jizhou to take care of the head and tail.
It should be said that the Huns' move was cruel, poisonous and insidious. Yuan Shao really couldn't draw enough troops to attack Xiu Tu Hu in Changshan. Fortunately, he had a hard-core ally - Cao Cao.
Before the Battle of Guandu, the relationship between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao was definitely good. Cao Cao's position as the prefect of Dongjun was expressed by Yuan Shao; when Cao Cao pacified Qing and Yan Huangteng Rebellion, Yuan Shao was also restrained and helped him; Cao Cao and Yuan Shu repeatedly fought with troops, and Yuan Shao also supported the food and grass soldiers. When Cao Cao was betrayed by Zhang Miao and Chen Gong and welcomed Lu Bu into Yanzhou, Cao Cao was so embarrassed that he was in the entire Yanzhou, leaving only one Dongjun and several small counties with the name Cao flag, and there was almost no place to stay. At that time, Cao Cao had the idea of defecting to Yuan Shao, but fortunately he was dissuaded by his counselor Cheng Yu. Otherwise, Cao Cao would have to be twisted for a few more years, so how could he confront Yuan Shao Guandu?
How could Yuan Shao not use such a strong man? After learning about Xiu Tu Hu's entry into Jingxing, Yuan Shao immediately sent an envoy to Dingtao (the capital of Yanzhou County) to discuss with Cao Cao secretly. At this time, Cao Cao was also facing the attack of Yuan Shu's 100,000 troops. Yuan Shao's support came at the right time, and Cao Yuan hit it off. In early May, Cao Cao used 10,000 cavalry and infantry troops to fight Yuan Shu, the Southern Xiongnu, and the Heishan 100,000 troops. The Kuangting battle was about to begin.
Yuan Shao, who solved the worries of the south, had already arrived at Chaoge Luqian Mountain and was about to launch a thunder attack on the Heishan Army at the Poison Division. At this time, Zhang Yan was also ready to move. Surrounding Wei to save Zhao, avoid the real and attack the weak, and attack Changshan, which was the best choice for the Heishan Army. Now it depends on whether Yuan Shao swept the Heishan Army in Hanoi, or Zhang Yan hit Changshan. And these people don’t slaughter Hu are Zhang Yan’s front pawns... Changshan is going to be in chaos.
The above is some of the information obtained by Ma Han interrogating the Hu people. In addition, the knowledgeable Xiahou Lan, who is well-informed and knowledgeable, talks about the historical origins of Xiu Tu and Hu. Finally, the results of comprehensive inferences from various parties obtained from Beihai are not complete, but not far away.
The general situation is basically clear. So, what happened to Xiu Tu people attacking Nanzhuang?
In the narrative of Zhao Yingzi, the niece of Zhao Yun who broke through the siege and came to ask for help, the matter is actually very simple - Xiu Tu Gehu attacked Changshan, not to be a peace warrior, they wanted to burn, kill, loot, there is no benefit, who will help you? If the Black Mountain Army is both soldiers and bandits, then Xiu Tu Gehu is a vicious robber. They came to Jizhou, to be precise, Changshan has only one purpose: to destroy! The more ruthless the burn, kill, the better, burn and kill Jizhou into white land, and hurt Yuan Shao's vitality. This is the ultimate goal!
Nanzhuang, not far from Zhending City, unfortunately became the first target in the eyes of the hungry wolf. Zhao Yun's sister-in-law and niece were from Nanzhuang. The Zhao family's parents died early. After the death of their brother, the sister-in-law naturally could not stay at the home of her deceased husband, so she took her daughter back to her parents' home. Unexpectedly, she suffered such a disaster less than half a year after she returned.
There are also docks near Nanzhuang, but docks only provide shelter during war. If you have nothing to do on weekdays, the people have to return to their own fields to work and work. It is impossible for them to stay in the docks all day, otherwise they will not have to rob them and starve to death.
When the Husband raided, the people of Nanzhuang had no time to withdraw into the fort, and were slaughtered.
"When my mother was kidnapped, the bandits Xiu Tu were about to attack me. I took advantage of her unpreparedness and stabbed her with a ruler (dagger), took the opportunity to escape, and asked for help from my uncle." Zhao Yingzi's eyes were red and swollen, and she cried in a low voice.
Ma Han had learned from the Xiongnu prisoners that the "Xiu Tu robber" injured by Zhao Yingzi was the leader of the Xiu Tu cavalry team, a hundred people, which was also the reason why Xiu Tu chasing people kept chasing. If the hundred people died seriously injured and died, but the Xiu Tu cavalry under his command let the murderer go, he would be buried with them all when he went back.
When Ma Han looked at this handsome and tall girl, he couldn't tell that this young girl who had not yet lost her childishness could kill and kill eleven Xushu people with one force, and was worthy of being Zhao Yun's apprentice. Needless to say, Zhao Yingzi's ability must be taught by Zhao Yun.
At this time, Guan Hai whispered: "It's getting late, are you waiting for tomorrow..."
"No!" Xiahou Lan said decisively, "Saving people is like saving people. Before Xiu Tunu retreated to the camp, he should quickly snatch people back."
Ma Han looked at Zhao Yun: "What does Zilong mean?"
Zhao Yun's cheeks bulged a few ridges, a little flame was pounding in his eyes, and his whole body exuded a faint murderous aura, and he nodded slowly.
