Chapter 648 The snow is full of bows and knives
The moon-black geese fly high, and the Shanyu escapes at night. He wants to chase the light cavalry, but the bow and knife are covered with heavy snow.
The night gradually became deeper, and the moon hid in the thick cloudless layer. The whole sky seemed to be covered by a black curtain. There was no trace of light between the sky and the earth. Gongsun Kang and his brothers rode their horses along the way.
However, they were like frightened birds and did not dare to return to Changli or Liaodong again.
The scenes before Linyu Pass are still echoing in their consciousness. The magical martial arts of Wang Li's arrows are fired at the same time, the bravery of Taishi Ci's single-handedness, the tragic moment of their father, Gongsun Du, and the tragic situation of the Liaodong warriors crying and calling their parents under the attack of Wang Li's army, just like shadow plays performed by actors and actors on the streets, which occasionally hit their minds.
With the courage of his father and the unity of his soldiers, he never persisted for half a day under the strong attack of Wang Li and Taishi Ci. Can he make a comeback in Liaodong just by the passion of his brothers?
Wrong, big mistake!
If Gongsun Kang really thought that his brothers would be able to shock Liaodong with a shock, and let the people of Liaodong closely unite around him and come to an unanimous relationship with the outside world, it would definitely be the turtle who wanted to ride a phoenix back - dreaming in the daytime!
Without Gongsun Du's command, Liaodong may be in a mess at any time; without the support of Yang Yi and Liu Yi, Liaodong will no longer have one in a hundred generals.
Therefore, Gongsun Kang no longer fled to Changli and Liaodong. As soon as he left Linyu, he turned his head and took Gongsun Gonghe's warriors to the north, crossed Qinglong and Kuancheng, and set foot on the road to the grassland.
The cold wind pierced from Gongsun Kang's lips into his throat and chest like a steel needle and an iron cone, making him feel heart-wrenching.
However, he had to relax for a moment. Wang Li's sharp arrows and Taishici's spear whipped him hard like a long whip, making him afraid to stop and take a look at the scenery on the roadside, and take a long breath.
Of course, the night was as thick as ink, and the torches in their hands could only illuminate the surroundings three or five meters away. He just wanted to appreciate the scenery along the way, "Driving horses when the clouds are in the evening, and the plains are easy to hide from the eagles in the autumn plain" probably did not have that good vision.
"General, it's snowing!"
Gongsun Kang let out a long sigh, suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and was shocked that Wang Li's two arrows came behind him again, but the deputy general beside him had already screamed. Gongsun Kang hurriedly turned his horse and looked up and saw hundreds of snowflakes tremblingly floating down from the black night sky.
Although the snowflakes are as big as rice grains and as light as hair, they seem to be able to blow it for 100,000 miles in one breath, they are like vibrant elfs, waving their "wings" in the firelight and dancing.
"Brothers, it's snowing soon. Everyone works harder and strive to get to Bagou within an hour!"
Looking at the snowflakes that disappeared in the firelight, Gongsun Kang was shocked. The life of the snowflake was so short, but he still dared to show his style. Are they not as good as this little snowflake? The long fur tightened on his body and shouted at the guards, looking straight into the direction of Bagou.
Bagou is the Pingquan under the rule of Chengde, Hebei. It originally meant that the unbeaten Hada and the unfilled Bagou were not filled. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi saw the fengquan on the flat ground of Bagou, and because of the auspiciousness, he named it Pingquan.
In history, Bagou was a famous place.
Allusions such as "Old Horse Knows the Road" and Cao Cao's "Looking at Plums to Squeeze Thirst" in "Han Feizi" come from here. Because it is located in the transition zone between the grassland and desert and the farming area, it is known as "the thoroughfare of Liao and Mongolia, the lintel of Yan and Zhao".
In other words, as long as they pass through Bagou, Gongsun Kang and his team stood on the grassland with one foot.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the snowflakes no longer float down one by one, but fall from the sky in groups. The night gradually turns into silver-gray, grayish white, light white, until white.
The vision gradually became clear, and Gongsun Kang did not dare to hesitate at all. He lifted the reins of the horse and rushed forward first, leaving behind a string of footprints of varying depths in the snow.
...
Gongsun Kang led his brothers and a group of subordinates to the grassland to seek help from King Shunyi, under the mission of his father Gongsun Du, but he did not know that the grassland was also full of war.
Chifeng, beside the Silamulun River.
The leader of the Xianbei tribe, Ke Bineng, was sitting in his Chanyu tent, with several Xianbei leaders, his general Wuchen Di and his nephew Xie Gui Ni, accompanying him, drinking and eating meat with him to appreciate the dance skills of the young slaves in the tent.
Only Lao Tzu, who was missing his brother, was the Xianbei Shanyu Fuluhan.
Of course, Fu Luohan has not arrived here not because his ambition is too high, but because he has long become the dead soul under Kebineng's sword, and his head has been sacrificed to the heaven of immortality by Kebineng.
In history, Fu Luohan should have died in the 16th year of Jian'an, but because of Wang Li, Lu Bu, the most powerful general of the Han Dynasty, was exiled to the grassland. Wu Chendi was worried that he would become a sandwich cookie between the Han court and Lu Bu, and led his troops to Fu Luohan. However, he was worried that Fu Luohan's prestige would not be difficult to achieve great things, so he betrayed Fu Luohan to his younger brother Ke Bineng.
Ke Bineng personally led more than 10,000 soldiers who controlled the string to Sanggan, formed an alliance with Wuchen Di to kill Fu Luohan, and dumped Fu Luohan's son into a mud.
"Khan, although the snow fell this year was not earlier than in previous years, it was much bigger than in previous years. I am worried that this winter would be difficult!" Wuchen Di drank a bottle of wine and suddenly sighed, with great anxiety between his eyebrows and eyes.
What you fear the most on the grassland are white disasters and black disasters.
White disasters are heavy snow, black disasters are light snow or even no snow.
If the snow is too small, the grass will die, and the livestock will have no water to drink or eat to fill their stomachs; if the snow is too large, it means that the grass on the pasture will be covered with heavy snow and cannot be covered with the mouths of the livestock, which means that the livestock will starve to death in groups, which means that the livestock will freeze to death in groups, and it also means that the livestock will be infected with plague and then die of illness in groups.
Once a snow disaster occurs, there are only two ways for the nomadic people living on the grassland: either migrate or gather the string control personnel to go south to the Central Plains.
If you don’t believe it, you can check it out in history. Whether it is the Xianbei, the Xiongnu, or the nomadic peoples such as Dangxiang, Khitan, Tatar, and Oirat, as long as heavy snow falls on the grassland in a certain winter, it will definitely be the time for them to invade.
Ke Bineng nodded, and a little sadness arose between his eyebrows. This was his first year of "succession" of the Xianbei Shanyu. He was unwilling to let his hard-working reputation become the background of Fu Luohan.
Ke Bi Neng personally poured a bottle of wine and handed it to Wuchen Di, and asked, "From what you see, what should I do with the Xianbei clan?"
"I heard that the Southern Xiongnu Khan Yu Fulu is still in the Central Plains. The current commander of the Southern Xiongnu is Yu Fuluo's brothers and sons." Wuchendi raised his eyebrows, and a hint of viciousness appeared in his eyes. "Hu Chuquan and Liu Bao are not incompatible. Why should the Great Shanyu take advantage of this opportunity to directly annex the power of the Southern Xiongnu?"
This is a way!
Ke Bi Neng thought for a moment, and was about to discuss with Wuchen Di, Xiao Gui Ni carefully. Suddenly, he felt cold and a cold wind blew towards him. The big tent had been lifted open. A general rushed in from outside the tent, and the long sword in his hand was covered with white snow.
"You reported to the Shanyu and the Southern Xiongnu Liu Bao recently surrendered to the guy Lu Bu, and joined forces with him to kill from the east!"
