Quanrong is a familiar yet unfamiliar name. Some of the northern nomadic peoples that were familiar before were the most famous ones, such as the Xiongnu, Mongolia, Liao, Jin, etc.
I have heard the name Quanrong, but I am not familiar with it.
It wasn't until he learned about the history of the ancient pre-Qin Dynasty by chance that Mengchang discovered that Quanrong had always existed in China. They had been active in the north since the Three Emperors period, and it was not until the Eastern and Western Zhou dynasties that this nomadic people completely grew. .
How powerful is it? King You of the Zhou Dynasty played with the princes with beacon fire, and those who destroyed the Western Zhou Dynasty were like the Dog Rong. However, after completing this feat, Quan Rong disappeared. Some said that he later became the Xiongnu, while others said that after breaking into the Chinese tribes at that time, he was assimilated into a certain country.
The specific details will not be repeated here. Those who are interested can refer to "Warring States Policy" and "Bamboo Book Annals".
Generally speaking, the people of Quanrong do not call themselves Quanrong. They call themselves the Rong tribe, just like the Huns do not call themselves Xiongnu. Dogs are the evolution of wolves, and the wolves on the grassland are the totems of the Quan Rong. Perhaps, people call themselves Lang Rong?
It doesn't matter. No matter how he calls himself, Quan Rong and Zhu Xia have a hostile relationship.
The war broke out all over the Zhou Dynasty, and the Quanrong and Yiqu and Guifang kingdoms crossed the Qishan Mountains and entered from the foothills of the Kunlun Mountains, sweeping across the Western Frontier kingdoms without anyone.
When the Western Border was in danger, the Quan Rong army was good at running and attacking. When the coalition forces of the princes arrived, they would often switch to the other side, break through from the weak point, and march straight in again. They would not fight with the coalition forces at all, but would burn, kill and loot.
If it is a small city or a small country, they will break down the city and sweep away all the supplies. If it is a big city, they will rob all the supplies. Even the green wheat that is still growing vigorously in the fields will inevitably be burned to ashes by the fire.
In Xiqi City, the city gates were fortified, and the lord Xibo Hou Jichang was still sweeping the grasslands with his main force, seeking a decisive battle with the main force of the Rong tribe. Although the scene in the city was not as exaggerated as when Jizhou invaded Chongcheng, it was unable to resist the Quan Rong soldiers. To fight against the enemy, we can only concentrate our forces, solidify the walls and clear the countryside to defend Xiqi City.
"Now the dog soldiers are tyrannizing and harassing me in Xiqi. Gentlemen, how should we resist them?"
The person who spoke was the eldest son of Ji Bohou who stayed in Xiqi City, Ji Kao, also known as Boyikao. Bo was the eldest son, and Yi represented the identity of his heir. Ji's surname and given name were Kao.
In the absence of the lord, Ji Kao is the temporary lord of Xiqi. His highness is gathered here, a lineup of ministers and famous generals formed by the Western Zhou Dynasty after gathering talents from all over the world.
At this time, San Yisheng, the senior official, said: "The force of the dog-rong army is as fast as lightning. Our army cannot withstand its sharp edge in battle. I believe that we should stick to the fortified city and wait for the Lord to return to the army for reinforcements."
General Tai Dian heard this and retorted: "It's ridiculous. If we stick to the city, what will the princes outside do? What will happen to the many common people outside? Our Lord has been working hard for more than ten years to achieve this prosperous age with a renewed atmosphere. How can we do it? Give it up to others without a fight?"
"General Tai Dian, the young Meng man from Northern Xinjiang once said that soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival. A little kid who has only been in the war for only a few years can't ignore it. You know how powerful military strategists are, why? A veteran like General Tai Dian, who has experienced many battles, can’t even compare to a baby?"
"Our army is weak, and its mobility is not as good as the enemy's. If we rush into battle and get involved, Xiqi City will suffer a military disaster. As long as Xiqi City is here, the Lord will have enough confidence and materials to inflict heavy damage on the enemy after his return. military."
When Tai Dian heard this, his beard and hair stood out with anger. He was sincere and never looked down on someone because of his age. He also recognized and appreciated Meng's man, who was famous in northern Xinjiang, from the bottom of his heart.
Appreciation is appreciation. If he really fights against him, Tai Dian will not be timid before fighting. Now that Hong Yao is scolding him openly and sarcastically, he has no good temper. He immediately pointed at the person who made the comment and cursed loudly.
"Hong Yao, how can you, a flattering person like you, understand the suffering of the people? The Meng family man from Northern Xinjiang once said that a good king will reward good deeds and eliminate the people's troubles, love the people like his sons, and build them like the sky. , You are as graceful as the earth. As an important minister of Xiqi, you don’t regard the common people as your foundation, and your consciousness is not much higher than that little kid, so what qualifications do you have to ridicule me?"
Seeing Hong Yao and Tai Dian arguing with each other and getting really angry in the main hall, Ji Kao immediately stepped forward to act as peacemaker.
"Both of you are my important ministers in Xiqi, please don't argue."
Ji Kao looked sad, he was a most benevolent and filial gentleman, and said to Hong Yao: "General Tai Dian is our general in Xiqi. Over the years, he and General Nangong have been at odds with each other to protect the peace of our Zhou Kingdom. Doctor Hong is indispensable." present."
Hong Yao handed over his hands and apologized, saying nothing.
"Doctor Hong Yao is a farmer of our Zhou Kingdom. He has personally helped our Zhou Kingdom recuperate and recuperate for more than ten years. He has made great contributions. General Tai Dian should not insult Doctor Hong Yao lightly. He should be respected."
Tai Dian also gave up and stopped arguing.
Seeing the harmonious scene among the ministers, Ji Kao just nodded and let out a sigh of relief: "I know what the two important ministers meant. Ji Kao is not a pedantic person. If something cannot be done, Ji Kao knows the severity."
"Send the order, gather the troops and the people and return to Xiqi City. Without military orders, we are not allowed to go to war easily."
"Oh, I know this is the best way, but every time I think of the tragedy outside the city, Ji Kao is burned inside and out, and he can't sleep at night. I also ask General Tai Dian to coordinate the many military affairs. If the situation is urgent, there is no need to Tell me and you can make your own decision."
Mengchang's theory of benevolence and virtue, along with the east-west turnover of merchants in recent days, have attracted many young people to go to northern Xinjiang. Even Shudan went to northern Xinjiang with a group of students.
Among them, the theory of benevolence put forward by Mengchang can be said to have touched Ji Kao's heart. If it were Ji Kao in the past, he would have sent troops out of the city to fight with the dog soldiers for a while to cover the retreat of the people. But now he knows better about treating family as home, treating hometown as hometown, treating country as country, and treating the world as world.
When everything was said, Ji Kao hunched over, as if he had aged for decades, and walked to the back hall. There are many truths that come to mind. Understanding does not mean that he will fully accept it in his heart. Heartache is also a problem. The process of heartache.
Tai Dian and Hong Yao looked at each other and shook their heads in despair.
The eldest young master is extremely smart. How could he not see the drama between the two of them? One is responsible for fighting and the other is responsible for defending, but the current national situation is there. If you can't catch up, you can't fight. If you stick to the city, you will be at a loss when facing the tall Xiqi City.
But if we really go out to fight in the city, it is exactly as Meng Shinan said, use your own strength to attack the enemy's weakness, so you will always win; use your shortness to attack the strength, and you will be defeated before fighting.
It's just that Jikao's kindness makes everyone love and hate him. Following a kind and virtuous master is what everyone wants to see.
However, if the master is too benevolent, it will have the opposite effect on promoting the war. Therefore, Hong Yao and Tai Dian made a plan. Although Ji Kao saw it and interrupted their "performance", he did not Reject fixed solutions.
I heard that the eldest son often consulted Xing Shang on Meng's theory recently, which seems to be a good thing for his previous pedantry.
So, when the Quanrong arrived, beacon smoke was lit in Xiqi City. The warriors of the Great Zhou Dynasty were in full array, but they did not go out for a decisive battle as before.
The words are divided on the other side.
Also facing off against the Quan Rong was the world of mountains and seas, the land to the west of the Dan'er Kingdom.
The Dan'er Kingdom, which had neither enough to eat nor warm clothing, could only muster an army of a thousand men to fight against its menacing five thousand dog soldiers in the western plains of Dan'er in the north of the wilderness.
These Dan'er people could not be said to be very weak. It may be a peculiarity unique to the mountain and sea world, or the human race in ancient times has some supernatural powers.
The citizens of Dan'er are painted with war patterns, and the azure war patterns emit bursts of blue fluorescence. The water flows around the bodies of these Dan'er soldiers, and the chill is overwhelming.
It's a stupid thing to attack cavalry with infantry, especially when the opponent doesn't know how to charge and is good at guerrilla mounted shooting.
There are no horses in Zhuxia, or there are few horses, and the warriors are not like the warriors of Quanrong. They grew up on horses. It is very rare to maintain balance on horseback, let alone let go of your hands. , mounted archery with a bow and an arrow, does not mean that you can become a cavalry just by having a war horse.
Not to mention that the geographical location at this time is in the endless wilderness grassland. The geographical advantage has been lost and the weather is balanced. Only the harmony of man can win.
After Mengchang thought for a moment, he finally persuaded Qiang's ministers to let Qiang lead a hundred people to take off their decorated nose rings and earrings and go deeper to the north. He himself led a hundred people to take off their decorations and go south deep, waiting for the battle to break out.
At the same time, palm-sized circular pits were dug in front of the military formation in advance, and rat holes were dug three feet into the ground.
After all the preparations were in place, the Dan'er defenders formed a simple battle formation and waited for the appearance of the dog soldiers and cavalry.
Not long after, the roar of a charge sounded from a distance. Meng Chang loudly asked the more than a hundred people under his temporary command to cover their war marks with dust, and then everyone was covered with various branches. This kind of It turns out that it has been used long ago when attacking the Jizhou army formation. It is enough to repeat the old trick and it is easy to use.
There were shouts of killing in the distance, accompanied by howling wolves and the crashing sound of torrents lapping the shore. Mengchang rode a jade unicorn and soared into the sky. He watched from a distance as the Dan'er army, which was locked in a bitter battle, was surrounded by dog soldiers and surrounded and fired in a circle.
And bursts of blue ripples surged up in the military formation, turning into torrents above the military formation and shooting in all directions, knocking groups of cavalry off their horses and turning them into meat under the iron hoofs.
Good thing, this war pattern is so magical. Why can't you see such a magical thing in the human world? A single war pattern is not powerful, but the flood caused by groups of war patterns is powerful. What a stormy sea.
Originally, he was worried that it would be more difficult for infantry to defeat cavalry, but he didn't think so. He simply worried too much. Before the leader of the Dan'er Kingdom took action, this group of warriors with war patterns could overwhelm the cavalry.
However, as the wolf god came from behind to join the battle, the whole situation began to become confusing again. The Wolf God was accompanied by about eight hundred giant wolves. Quanrong's strongest warrior, riding on the back of the giant wolf, launched a charge against Dan'er's military formation.
The nimble giant wolf would rely on its flexible movement and movement to avoid the waves and charge in an orderly manner every time the water hit its face.
Mengchang didn't even need to look at it to know the danger of these giant wolves to the battle formation, so he immediately lowered his altitude, retracted the conspicuous jade unicorn, and gave loud orders. The soldiers who had completed the preparations moved forward with him, and their movements varied along the way. He raised his voice and movement to the maximum, and his bluff reached the extreme.
There is a suspected third-party force involved on the side. Naturally, this cannot be hidden from the wolf god of Inrong, or perhaps there is no intention to hide it from him at all, but to let him know in a big way.
The battle ahead is intense, and it is not easy to divide the troops at this time. The enemy's strength is unknown, and it is not appropriate to divide more or less. Quanrong just asks the cavalry to approach the side to be more vigilant.
The battlefield was divided into two concentration points. One was the military formation where the Dan'er Kingdom was besieged, and the other was the position of the central army where King Quanrong and God Quanrong were. Meng Chang led a hundred people to silently move between the two points. Marching in the open space seems to give the Quanrong army a sense of security, but in fact they are also silently calculating the distance of the surprise attack.
When they approached the middle position, some commotion occurred in the direction of Inurong, indicating that the safe distance had reached the extreme.
Mengchang opened his three heads and six arms, and his body grew in the wind, and the three magic weapons also grew in size. Among the two armies, only a tall giant of three feet and three feet shouted angrily: "Kuafu's Mengchang, please follow me." Tu's orders were to rush to Dan'er's aid and ambush the dog soldiers."
"The evil dog, why don't you just catch it without mercy?"
White Wolf's eyes widened, wondering how the long-dead Kuafu family came back to life and rushed to the aid of Dan'er country?
Could it be that I had noticed that I was in a trance before and then came to this strange place? Was it a trap set by those cunning Central Plains people?
The white wolf was confused, and Qiang Chen was also confused. Looking at the soaring giant, the old man was a little confused.
"Is this... young man a descendant of the Yellow Emperor or the Yan Emperor?"
Only Meng Chang didn't hear it, otherwise he would have taken the opportunity to proudly say loudly: "I am a descendant of Yan and Huang!"
Whose general is this person?
"I am a descendant of Yan and Huang!"
He is about to enter semen, and his fathers are asking for further reading.
