Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2431 Life and death between true and false

In the grassland and desert, the herdsmen of Jiankun Kingdom were not the only ones who were hit by the white and black disasters. The Dingling people who accepted the Xianbei heritage were also facing difficulties.

"Han dog, Han dog is not a good thing! ”The leader of Ding Ling growled fiercely in a low voice, “I told Wang a long time ago that there should be no connection with the Han dog at all!We have to separate ourselves from the Han dogs and stay far away from these greedy guys, so that we will have a future for all of us!Peace talks...hehe...shit peace talks...』

"Even if it's so far away from here to the sky, it's better than dealing with Han dogs!" 』

Although many nomadic tribes have moved towards Zhao Yun and Simpi's areas for one reason or another, there are still some people who are unwilling to deal with the Han people from the beginning to the end, and with resentment towards the Han people, they propagate Hateful remarks against the Han people.

In fact, this is not all the problem of nomads. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, many nomads defected to the Han Dynasty in the south, but the people of the Han Dynasty never regarded these people as their own, or considered enlightenment. The problem is restriction and enslavement at every turn, coupled with different languages ​​and rough attitudes. Even in occasional catastrophes, the relief of the Han people got through the difficulties, but then the Han people continued to transfer and enslave, sending out heroic soldiers, and Those Huns, Qiangs, Wuhuans, or Xianbeis who refused to surrender fought, and as more people died, the originally unreliable relationship naturally collapsed.

Not to mention, during the Xiping period, when fighting against Xianbei Tanshihuai, [-] Hu cavalry soldiers were conscripted to accompany the Xiongnu Zhonglang to go out.

Does anyone say sorry to these Hu people who surrendered, or give some pensions to these Hu people's families?No.Some people may say that the Han Dynasty did not even provide pensions to its own Han people, so how could they appease these Hu people who surrendered?

But this is the problem.

It is precisely because of this incident that Chief Ding Ling doesn't trust the Han people at all.When King Ding Ling decided not to have any contact with the Han people, he was very happy, but now why some people suddenly appear to have contacts with the Han people?
The leader of Ding Ling, Ashina, is tall and tall. Although the weather in the desert is not too much, he has already taken off half of his leather robe, revealing half of his strong body with a scar.

"Boss, let's stop here... If this Hu Yan comes to us, I'm afraid there will be trouble..." A confidant came to his side and asked.

According to the original arrangement of King Dingling, he was going to go south with another Dingling tribe to find peace talks with the Han people.

Ashina, on the other hand, didn't want peace talks at all.

Ashina carelessly pinched the black solid in the gap between his nails. He didn't know if it was black mud or dried blood. Hearing this, he smiled, "It's okay, I'm just waiting for him to come..."

The confidants on the side were a little puzzled.

After a while, the leader of another tribe, Huyan, brought some men and rode his horse angrily...

"Aha, it's Huyan! Ding Lingtou patted his horse and went up to meet him, and said loudly, "Why did you come to me all of a sudden?"There is a military order from the king, the situation has changed, I am going to find you! 』

The leader of another tribe, Hu Yan, who was originally full of anger, was stunned by Ashina's voice, "What?What military order?Why didn't I receive the military order? 』

Ashina's expression suddenly became a little anxious. He waved his hand, beckoned Hu Yan to come closer, and then said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid... I heard people say that when your Majesty was beating Liaodong dogs, he was careless." He fell off the horse and was seriously injured. Before he fell into a coma, he said he wanted you...』

Ashina's voice became lower and lower, and Huyan's neck couldn't help but stretched longer and longer.

Something happened to the king?
Hu Yan couldn't help being horrified.

After Ding Ling suddenly ate most of the Xianbei remnants, he did not complete a better digestion.

Maybe for King Dingling, well, now that Dingling is king, some more time, or a better environment, maybe Dingling will become another powerful grassland overlord who will inherit Xianbei.

This time King Dingling attacked Liaodong for many reasons, one of which was that he wanted to take this opportunity to train his team...

But just like the expression in later movies, when the team gets bigger, people's hearts will disperse.Not all Dingling tribes were affected by the disaster, and this inherently loose political system is difficult to achieve unity on the level of consciousness. Many times, these people think about the interests of their own tribes, so they have differences and even conflicts It is also a common thing to come, just like the rice country in later generations.

Hu Yan supported King Ding Ling, and King Ding Ling also admired him. He once publicly expressed his approval of Hu Yan, and it seemed that he wanted to promote Hu Yan.During this trip to the south to seek peace talks with the Han people and seek cooperation, King Dingling also implicitly stated that if he succeeded, he would credit Huyan with credit, and it would be good to promote Huyan to a general or a higher position at that time. possible.

Therefore, under such circumstances, Huyan is naturally more willing to reach some covenants with the three-color Han people, so that King Dingling can safely invest in the attack on Liaodong Gongsun and internal integration.

After all, in King Ding Ling's vision, the Han people are like tribes on the grassland, each with its own affiliation. The previous disputes did not represent eternal enemies. The Han people in Liaodong and the Han people in three colors are naturally two different Partly, now that Ding Ling is going to attack the Han people in Liaodong, of course he cannot start a war with the Han people of three colors. It would be best if peace talks can be made. Even if peace talks cannot be made, it would be good to maintain a relatively stable situation.

But I didn't expect to walk halfway, as Huyan's deputy, Ashina suddenly stopped and didn't leave, which naturally made Huyan very puzzled and annoyed, and rushed to Xingshi to ask the crime, but he didn't Thinking of Ashina's words made Hu Yan startled a little.

Could it be that the king will not live long?
What can I do now?Who will the new king be?Will they still insist on peace talks with the Han people?
The most important thing is that the benefits promised by the king before, can they still count now?
In the confusion of thoughts, Hu Yan couldn't help asking Ashina: "What else did the order say?"Where is the order, quickly fetch it for me to see...』

"Oh..." Ashina took two steps forward, approached Huyan, then reached out to take out the half-opened leather robe, "Wait..."

Hu Yan leaned forward, a little anxious, but he didn't expect that Ashina took out a bigger one than him, uh, wrong, he took out a shiny dagger, then took a sharp step forward, and stabbed him directly Into Hu Yan's abdomen!

Under severe pain, Hu Yan slapped Ashina back with a slap, but it also made his wound bigger, and blood spurted out, "You...why? ! 』

Ashina chuckled, "I won't tell you...do it!" 』

Immediately, Ashina's soldiers at the side shouted in unison and attacked Hu Yan and the others.

Hu Yan never thought that Ashina would attack him, so he didn't bring many people with him when he first came.

The guards tried to protect Hu Yan who was seriously injured and retreated, but as the blood gushed out, Hu Yan only felt that everything in the world was spinning, so he rode his horse and ran not far away, but he couldn't hold the reins and fell down under the horse.When Hu Yan became conscious again, he found himself lying on his back on the ground, but his mind was blank. As thick blood gushed out from the wound, a bone-chilling feeling gradually enveloped his whole body.

The clean and translucent blue sky, the vast and boundless land.

Goshawks soar, clouds are elegant.

Hu Yan suddenly felt that it seemed a little familiar. Is this more than 20 years ago, when he was still in his early ten years old, he went hunting with his father himself, and then fell under the horse?

But this time, his father didn't show up, nor did he have those warm and rough hands to pull him up.

"Send the order down!" ”Wiping the blood on the saber, Ashina ordered, “Separate 1000 people and immediately go to the Huyan Tribe to take over all affairs!”Let’s just say that Huyantou was ambushed by a Han Chinese team just now, and he was already killed...』

Ashina's tone seemed so casual, as if he was narrating a small matter, "Stop all peace talks with the Han people, let's turn, go north!" 』

"A bunch of idiots!The grassland is so big, why stare at the south? !I have already inquired, there are more herdsmen tribes in the west, wouldn't it be better to compete with the south? 』

"Follow me!Let me lead you to find a better future! 』

...(o□`o)...

Liaodong.

Ding Lingwang was not injured, let alone died.

Of course, King Ding Ling didn't know what happened behind him after he left the grassland and desert. His focus now was this piece of land in Liaodong, and he believed that he was about to win the final victory.

Especially after the death of Gongsun Du, the king of Liaodong.

King of Liaodong, um, this king is also self-proclaimed. If he hadn't coveted Liaoxi before, and didn't think about entering Yuyang, he might not have suffered a major blow, and naturally he wouldn't have been defeated and fled back to Liaodong. Feeling resentful, and then turned into bedridden...

Older people are always like this. If they are healthy and optimistic, they will probably live a few years longer than those who are depressed and regretful.In addition, the accumulated ailments in the military formation also gradually flare up when they are old. Once there is some hook as a trigger, it is easy to turn a small ailment into a serious ailment, threatening life.

After Gongsundu's death, the Gongsun family fell into chaos. Although Gongsun Du's son, Gongsun Kang, stated that he was the orthodox heir, he immediately issued an order for Liaodong to obey his orders, but others in the Gongsun family It is to support Gongsun Gong, saying that Gongsun Kang is a hammer, and the defeated general is ashamed to show his face what inheritance? !

When the disputes in Gongsun's family continued, Ding Lingren had no intention of standing aside and waiting for Gongsun to make a conclusion. Instead, they stepped up their attacks and caused great damage to the residences in Liaodong, especially the Han people in Liaodong. .

Across the mountains that obscured the view, it was the light of the campfire reflected in the sky.

Dingling people attacked, and naturally, like most nomads, they dragged their families along.

Warriors ahead, tribes behind.

The territory of Liaodong itself is not large, and there is no strategic space to speak of.As Ding Ling broke through the pass and killed the generals guarding the pass, disaster befalls this piece of land.

The sound of crying seems to have become the main color of this land.

Before the war came, those who noticed something was wrong early, and then resolutely left those who were lucky and wise, while those who hesitated, felt a little lucky, or felt nostalgic for their homeland and were reluctant to leave. endured the greatest pain of the moment.

For ordinary people, they are in an environment where the news is relatively lagging, or even closed, and the news they can get is often not known how many hands have passed. The people above deliberately distorted, blocked, and tampered with it, just like these people in Liaodong. Even if the Dingling people have broken through the pass and invaded all the way, most of the people in Liaodong waited until the last moment. When I bumped into my eyes, I realized that war is coming...

During the melee in the Central Plains, some people took refuge in Liaodong, but they did not expect that Liaodong has suffered such a serious military disaster. These people were swept by a large number of refugees and fled to the south, and some people fled to the more remote Goguryeo. go.

The entire situation in Liaodong is rapidly slipping in the direction of disorder.

Refugees are surging, and food and drink have become the most basic needs of these refugees.Compared with these homeless refugees, in cities that have not been captured by Dingling people for the time being, some people saw some residents fleeing in the city, and began to occupy the vacant houses, and some of them fought to death because of this behavior. human...

Perhaps for those who are a little calmer and more sober, it is incomprehensible to spend time, energy, and even life to occupy some houses when the enemy is about to attack, but the problem is that these people just do it So, putting a finite life into an infinite house seems to have fulfilled the dreams and aspirations of these people, even if this dream and aspiration can only last for a short time.

Gongsun's army didn't have the heart to regulate the behavior in the town. As long as there was no chaos, the death of a few people was not a big deal at all.For the convenience of defense, Gongsun's army demolished a large number of houses near the city wall to make rolling stones and wood.

Once Xiangping is lost, then Liaodong is basically over. Even if they fled to Lelang, they may not be able to continue.

Or fled to Goguryeo?

Let's not talk about whether the former king of Liaodong has any face when he becomes a sojourner. Just say that when Gongsun Du was still alive, he fought with Goguryeo several times, beating Goguryeo screaming, and now even the Gongsun family When people dare to go, Goguryeo may not welcome it with open arms...

Amidst the chaos and tension, the first wave of Dingling arrived at the city of Xiangping.

Before these Dingling people, there were batches of Han people, and some Goguryeo and Buyeo people who were arrested...

Looking out from Xiangping City, on the hillside, at the edge of the woods, all over the mountains and plains, there are Ding Ling people, and a large number of civilians are gathered. Roaring, he waved his whip at the crowd from time to time, and even waved his sword, bringing out a pool of blood.

Whether it is a gray-haired old man, a crying and helpless child, or a woman in ragged clothes or a young man covered in blood, they are basically strung together in a row by long ropes, crying Among them, a large area of ​​blackness is like a huge herd of cattle and sheep.

In some queues, someone on the long rope has died, but the Dingling people don't care at all, just waving whips and swords, any queue that stops will either be whipped or hacked, so that among these queues The dead one was either caught in it, or simply dragged on the ground...

Ding Lingren stood aside, laughing loudly.

Those who dare to scold and resist have already been shot or beheaded by Ding Ling, and the rest are naturally some cowardly people who only feel that crying can be exchanged for pity and tears can be taken care of, all the way In this way, being urged and urged, he arrived at the city of Xiangping.

The defenders on the city wall could only watch all this in silence, unable to let out a single fart.

Ding Ling's army, all kinds of civilians who were originally captured, are constantly gathering...

According to the speed of the war horses, Ding Lingren should have arrived in Xiangping long ago, and the reason why Ding Lingren slowed down now is that they appeared directly under the eyes of Gongsun Army defending the city.Maybe it was because many Ding Ling people were killed or injured when attacking the last pass. Now when preparing to attack Xiangping, Ding Ling people collected as many scapegoats as possible.

That night, the Dingling army outside the city did not even camp on a large scale. They prepared a ladder to attack the city in the mountains behind the army formation, and urged the captured craftsmen to work day and night until late at night. Perhaps because these craftsmen felt that they were still useful, they provided some leftover food to some craftsmen.

As for the life and death of those consumables, Ding Lingren didn't care at all, as long as these consumables could survive until the moment before the siege.

The flames continued, and that night, the small army gathered in batches without stopping from the beginning to the end. The cavalry scouts held torches and shuttled back and forth outside Xiangping City, simply guarding against the night attack of Gongsun's soldiers.

In the early morning of the second day when Ding Lingren arrived in Xiangping, when there was still some mist in the air, King Ding Ling looked at the surrounding situation on the hillside, and then waved his hand.

"attack! 』

Dingling blew the horn.

A ruthless war has come to this land. Even these people who claim to be the descendants of the universe cannot avoid the shedding of blood...

As cruel as war is, so stupid...
