Cross the Sea in the Red Chamber

It's just a piece of news, dozens of envoys, and a few days... Da Jingchao's casual wave of his hand turned the entire Western Region into chaos. No matter which country, everyone was arguing endlessly.And there is only one content of the debate - the Great Jing Dynasty and the Beiman Kingdom.

The Jing army blocked the news very well before, and the entire defense line of the Western Regions was watertight. No one could pass the news to the countries of the Western Regions through the tight defense line. After the news was delivered to them, the kings of these small countries who had always been self-righteous and looked down on the Dajing army were completely dumbfounded, and hurriedly convened a group of ministers to discuss how to deal with this ending.

People, when faced with news that they don't want to hear, they always divide into several steps. At first, they were shocked and stunned, then panicked, but after a while, they turned into doubts and disbelief, and the people from the Western Regions were the same.

After all, the Beiman Kingdom has been strong and domineering for decades. Not only has it always ruled the Western Regions, but it has also defeated the Dajing Dynasty more than once. Even the founding emperor of Dajing, Emperor Gao, was besieged in the city and forced to surrender.The news from the Jing Dynasty over the years has also been lukewarm, and they often send gold, silver and jewelry to the princes and nobles of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom, beauties and concubines, to implore them not to send troops to the south.

Such a country, no matter how you look at it, feels weak. Even if it has many people and soldiers, it is nothing more than a beautiful embroidered pillow. Can it really defeat the mighty Beiman country?

The ministers of the Western Regions didn't believe it, the kings of the Western Regions didn't believe it, and even the people of the Western Regions were also unwilling to believe it.

They have only seen the strength of the Northern Man army over the years, who has ever heard of Dajing's army?A few years ago, a Jingchao envoy named Fang Han brought dozens of people to the Western Regions and persuaded them to help Jingchao attack the Northern Barbarian Kingdom.But they couldn't get along anywhere, they were chased and killed by their countries, and they almost didn't die here in the Western Regions.

I heard that he has returned to Jingchao, but he hasn't seen Jingchao send troops to avenge him for so many years. It can be seen that Jingchao only has such a little ability, but he is just bragging about it, and there is nothing to be afraid of.What defeated the northern barbarian army?If they had the ability, they would have come to avenge Fang Han a long time ago, and they would have waited so long?It can be seen that these envoys must be deceiving the countries of the Western Regions this time!

People in the Western Regions are too afraid of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom. They dare not resist for so many years. Instead, they will suppress/suppress the people who want to resist.Therefore, they do not accept psychologically that there is a country that is stronger than the Beiman Kingdom, especially if this country has been defeated by the Beiman Kingdom.If a failed country becomes stronger and defeats the northern barbarian country, wouldn't it appear that they have done nothing, are too stupid and weak?

Not to mention that they didn't see Jingchao defeat Beiman, even if they saw it, they would lie to themselves that it was a lie.They will never admit that they have failed, so the message that makes them feel that they have failed is definitely a lie.These countries in the Western Regions discussed for a long time, finally came to a conclusion, and then divided into different factions.

Those countries in the Western Regions who have long joined the Northern Man state, begged for mercy from the Northern Man's cavalry, were cowardly and kicked at will, joined together, and planned to mobilize the domestic army, hoping to teach this Jing who lied and slandered the Northern Man's reputation a lesson. North Korea, to show his loyalty to his suzerain country, in exchange for some rewards.

And those countries in the Western Regions who have been bullied and robbed by the Beiman Kingdom all the year round, but did not join the Northern Mansion Kingdom due to various reasons, are divided into two factions. She lost her face and didn't dare to talk about peace at all, so she simply joined the Allied Forces of the Western Regions, hoping to unite with other countries and defeat Dajing, lest the Jing army come to the Western Regions to cause trouble for herself.

The other faction chose to be neutral and not help each other.He didn't join the coalition, and he didn't defect to Dajing. He just watched the situation from the sidelines, and decided to look at the situation first before speaking, for fear that he would choose the wrong position and cause trouble.

The king of the mountain country who likes to die very much chose to join the coalition of the Western Regions. For this reason, he sent troops to drive the envoy of the Jing Dynasty out of the mountain country. dead.

This act of killing the king also offended the Dajing Dynasty more thoroughly, and this time there was no chance to bow down and admit his mistake.To humiliate the envoy is equivalent to slapping Dajing face to face, and the soldiers of Dajing who went to war between the two countries must use his blood to wash away the humiliation.However, he himself was very satisfied, and felt that after the victory over Dajing, the Beiman Kingdom would definitely praise his performance again. Only the courtiers of the Mountain Kingdom shook their heads again and again, wanting to resign.

Looking at this, if he dies, they will not be able to live. It is better to run quickly, or they will die if it is too late...

However, Ningyuan Kingdom, a country in the Western Regions that had helped the Dajing Dynasty, chose to be neutral this time.

Their country is not good at anything other than raising horses. Compared with other small countries, it is good, but how dare they wrestle with big countries.

They can't afford to offend the Northern Barbarian Kingdom, and they dare not offend the increasingly powerful Dajing Dynasty. If it were the past, the ruler of Ningyuan Kingdom would dare to treat Dajing as an ordinary ally in front of the envoy, and compare himself and the Jing Dynasty Emperor. On the same level, but now, he is afraid of Dajing, and he no longer dares to put Ningyuan Kingdom and Dajing on the same level...

Although he was afraid of the Dajing Dynasty and the army of Dajing, he was deeply afraid of the Northern Barbarian Ningyuan Kingdom, so in the end he chose to be neutral and did not dare to vote for any side.Because the lord of the country doesn't know whether Dajing can gain a firm foothold in the Western Regions. If he loses, he doesn't need to say much. Didn't taking refuge in Dajing declare that he was an enemy of the northern barbarians and would be killed by the northern barbarians?

All kinds of information were recorded by the envoys who returned to the border, and finally gathered in Situ Sheng's hands. Situ Sheng, who was sitting in the big tent drinking tea and playing chess with Jiang Yuan, couldn't stop laughing, shaking his head while laughing.

Jiang Yuan quickly cleaned up the chessboard while Situ Sheng was reading the news, and simply put the pieces on the chessboard back into the box, and even closed the lid.Just pretending that he didn't see the fact that his own big dragon was cut off by Situ Sheng, and he was about to make a mid-game throw, and pretended that the chess game he just played with Situ Sheng was evenly matched.It is also easy to find excuses to clean up the chessboard. Now we have to discuss the business, and we can no longer have fun. Everything is about the overall situation.

Situ Sheng finished laughing at the message in his hand, and when he turned his eyes back to the chessboard, he saw Jiang Yuan's foul play.The corner of his mouth twitched, he didn't have the nerve to criticize Jiang Yuan for not being able to lose, for playing tricks.

Jiang Yuan's level of Go playing is comparable to others, but compared to some masters who are good at playing Go, it is quite miserable. Situ Sheng, Situ Yuehua, Jiang Yan and Queen Mother Jiang, and even Situ Ye and Situ Can They all belong to the masters who are good at playing chess, and they all know about it.

So these few people take pleasure in playing chess with Jiang Yuan and bullying him... I don't know how this habit was developed.If Jiang Yuan is good at everything, good at everything, understands everything, and can't be troubled by anything, they can only bully Jiang Yuan in Go.

But this kind of thing can only be done, how can you say it clearly?Situ Sheng can't just say that we continue to play chess, let me win you [-] games and be happy... Cough cough, His Majesty's face is not that thick, Jiang Yuan has the nerve to clean up the chessboard, he Anyway, I have to take care of my face.

"Qingyuan, you can take a look too." Situ Sheng passed the message in his hand, pretending that he didn't see Jiang Yuan's cheating, which made him lose five games of chess in a row, and his chess game was overkill. Jiang Yuan let out a sigh of relief.

Looking at the reactions of the countries in the Western Regions, Jiang Yuan smiled slightly, and it turned out that the results of their previous discussions were the same.The monarchs of these small countries in the Western Regions really don’t shed tears when they see the coffin, but it’s a pity that they are winking and entertaining the blind this time, completely wasting their efforts.

Beiman Kingdom is still too busy to take care of itself. Whether it can survive this winter is a matter of two opinions. How can they have time to take care of those messy things in the Western Regions? Can they kill them?The coalition forces of the Western Regions against Dajing just gave Dajing an excuse to send troops to the Western Regions and wipe them all out. When the time comes, they lose the battle and lose the country, and they will cry sometimes.

The two monarchs and ministers looked at each other and smiled, but their thoughts were not so kind. Just after cleaning up the Northern Barbarian Kingdom, the two men had already set their sights on the Western Regions.After all, although the Beiman country is large, it is not easy to develop it. It needs to be done step by step, but there is not so much to say here in the Western Regions.As long as you get the channel of the Western Regions, a large amount of Dajing ceramic silk can be dumped to Europe through this channel, and the real gold and silver can be exchanged immediately, which can be described as immediate results.

Of course, I also want to thank the countries of the Western Regions for their cooperation... Small suicide experts are not always encountered...

Dajing had already turned his attention from the Northern Manland to the Western Regions, and did not send anyone into the Northern Manland to fight or investigate. This gave the remaining tribes living in the Northern Manland a way out.

Qingli Lake, once a sacred place in the hearts of all the tribes of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom, has now become a nightmare for all of them.After finally rushing out from the siege of the Jing army, King Youxian and the leaders of the foreign races led their respective tribes to hide in the deep mountains secretly, and did not dare to show their faces for a long time.

It wasn't until half a month after the war that they dared to send spies to investigate the movements of the Jing army. It wasn't until they received the news that the Jing army had left the Beiman Kingdom and entered Yanmen Pass that these leaders felt a little relieved and let out a sigh of relief.

No matter what happens in the coming year, at least there is no need to worry about Jing Jun for the time being...

Relieved, these leaders felt a little lost and a little painful.In the past, it was clear that the Northern Barbarian Kingdom was the great and powerful country with outstanding military exploits. It overwhelmed the Jing Dynasty, which was close to the grassland, and even offered gold and silver to pray for forgiveness.But once the situation was reversed, Jingchao's army crushed and beat them, and they were in deep loss again, with bursts of acid in their hearts, feeling unbearable pain.

If the Jing army only beat them by a small amount, or if the victory resulted in heavy casualties, the people of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom would absolutely not be convinced.They will definitely say that the Jing army is taking advantage of the chaos, taking advantage of the dangers of others, has no real skills at all, and is a coward.

But Jing Jun didn't just win them a little bit, it wasn't even a simple big victory, this group of devils had killed them so much that they were terrified, and under such circumstances they dared not speak of Jing Jun I didn't even dare to think about it, because I was afraid that the Jing army would kill them again and take their lives.

Sadness, heartache, jealousy, envy... After each feeling has been experienced, it develops into the ultimate numbness.The more conceited a person is, the more painful it will be when he falls.And the more people who take themselves seriously, the more painful it will be when they are despised and looked down upon by others.

The northern barbarians felt that they were already in pain, and the more they thought about it, the more painful it became. So in the end, they didn't even think about it, they just closed their eyes and pretended not to see, plugged their ears as if they couldn't hear, kept their heads away from the pain and continued to live their lives. Let's live.

Losing the hay accumulated by the Qingli Lake, all the tribes tried their best to find a pasture for the livestock to spend the winter. Finally, they found a land of water and grass that was not covered by heavy snow and prepared to spend the winter there.This place is close to the hot spring, and the surface temperature is relatively high, so the grass leaves growing there are not withered and yellow, but are still green and vigorous.

It's a pity that the hot spring is not big, and the area occupied by this pasture is not big, just enough to barely keep the lives of the cattle and sheep. I dare not let the cattle and sheep open their stomachs to graze, or I am afraid that the grass here will not wait until the spring. They will be eaten up by them, and they will still starve to death.

In order to restrict them from grazing, the herdsmen simply set up their camps on the field outside the pasture, fenced up the cattle and sheep to prevent them from passing, and sent people to mow the grass every day, saving some to feed the livestock to prevent them from eating the grass. Eat up.Seeing the cattle and sheep getting thinner and thinner due to hunger, the herdsmen had no choice but to cry silently.If you are not hungry, you will die, and they can only choose to let the livestock continue to starve.

Although they experienced a painful defeat, they thought that as long as they survived the severe winter, they could continue to dominate the grassland again.They can continue to roam the Western Regions and plunder property from other places. In the worst case, they will never offend Dajing again and just stay within the Great Wall. However, the news sent by the spies returning from the border shocked all the clansmen. endlessly.

"The Jing Dynasty set up a defense line in the Western Regions, and wiped out the [-] troops of the northern barbarian King Zuoxian on the defense line in the Western Regions, and captured King Zuoxian and his five tribal leaders alive..." King Youxian didn't know him What kind of mood did you read the words written on the sheepskin?Not as happy and comfortable as he imagined, he could only feel chills and panic.King Zuo Xian, is such a powerful King Zuo Xian defeated so easily...

How can this be? !How did those Jing people do it?

The tribal leaders who hadn't rushed up the hill didn't know anything about land/mines at all, and they didn't know how Zuo Xianwang who rushed to the top of the hill was defeated by Dajing.Because King You Xian gave King Zuo Xian an inopportune moment before he left, even though King Zuo Xian left Qingli Lake starving to death, he never contacted them, the northern barbarian allied forces, even if he wanted to slaughter a war horse to satisfy his hunger.

He hated Youxian King, hated all the people who left his tribe... But what about himself who left the tribe first?Shouldn't it be hated?

Well, even if they haven't contacted each other, everyone has known each other for many years, and they have all seen King Zuoxian's ability to lead the tribes to crusade against the countries in the Western Regions.The cavalry under his command dared to fight and fight without fear. How did such a powerful [-] cavalry be wiped out in the Western Regions?

Even if Jingren's infantry and cavalry are very powerful, aren't their northern barbarians not very powerful?Even if he can't beat him, he can always run. With the speed of the Beiman BMW, can't he escape from the encirclement of the Jing army?

Why did Zuo Xianwang lose?And why did he lose so thoroughly? !

No one knows, or even thinks about it.

The result that Jiang Yuan and Situ Sheng wanted had already appeared. Because these northern barbarians didn't know the process of King Zuo Xian's defeat, they only knew the result of the annihilation of the whole army, and they were all panicked.Originally, they could tell themselves not to think about the strength of the Jing Army and forget about the Qingli Lake, but now because of this news, their fear of the Jing Army has risen again, it is like a burst of thunderbolts hitting the top of their heads, It's not that you can't hear it by blocking your ears, even if you close your eyes, you can still feel the dazzling light shining on your eyelids!

Immediately afterwards, the tribal leaders found out that the Jing army surrounded the Beiman country on three sides, and they had no intention of retreating at all, which made them even more panicked.This time, Jingren obviously wanted to get serious. They didn't just teach them a lesson and it was over. These demons really wanted to wipe out the northern barbarians and kill them all!

Some people suggested that they break out from the north, anyway Jing people did not block the north, but this proposal was immediately despised enough.north?If you want to freeze to death, just say it, I will kill you directly, why go to the north to find death?

But if they don't break out from the north, if Jingren keeps besieged like this, will they still have a way out?Without looting property from the Western Regions or Qinghai, they simply cannot survive.

The patriarchs of all ethnic groups began to call their clansmen to discuss it, but the conclusions they reached were not optimistic.The reason why Jingren didn't send troops into the Beiman country but blocked it from all sides was because of the weather.It's cold winter now, not the best time for the Jing army to dispatch troops, and it's not easy to find them and these tribes in the snowy grassland everywhere.

But once the spring blossoms and the ice and snow melt, the Jing army will definitely enter the Beiman Kingdom again to deal with them!Otherwise, they would have withdrawn their troops long ago, so why maintain a blocking posture?

The Jing army can easily wipe out Zuo Xianwang's army, so it must be effortless to wipe them out... The leaders are worried, and no one is interested in waiting for death. Come here, their consequences will definitely not be any better than Zuo Xianwang.

What should be done?

The leader of the Hu tribe hid in the camp to avoid people from other tribes and called his subordinates to discuss the current situation. At this time, one of his subordinates suddenly stood up and said, "My lord, why are those Jing troops biting us? There is no relationship between us." Hate?"

The leader of the Hu clan stroked his beard and reprimanded him, "Why don't you even know this? Haven't you already said it many times? Isn't it because of some national hatred and family hatred decades ago..."

The subordinate opened his mouth to interrupt the leader's words, and continued: "But our Hu people have only joined the Northern Barbarian Kingdom for about forty years. How can there be any national hatred with the Jing Dynasty in the south? We just attacked the Western Regions. , it is true to say that we have hatred with the countries of the Western Regions, but we have never sent troops to the Jing Dynasty in these years..."

What does it mean to wake up the dreamer with one word?The leader of the Hu tribe only felt that after hearing these words, he suddenly woke up as if he had been enlightened.

That's right, what you said makes sense. It's not the Hu people who have enmity with the Jingren. All the mistakes are the fault of the northern barbarians. Although they are also called northern barbarians, it's just because they live in It's just a country, but it doesn't mean they joined the northern barbarians.Why should they be implicated alive by the northern barbarians!

What Jing people hated was that the northern barbarians besieged Emperor Gao, and what the Yuezhi people hated was that the northern barbarians killed their leader and robbed their pastures.The two parties just want to seek revenge from the Northern Man and snatch the pasture of the Northern Man, so give them the pasture. There is no need to risk the lives of the Hu people!

If it were not for the annihilation of Zuo Xianwang's entire army, the leader of the Hu clan would not want to give up the fertile pastures of the Beiman Kingdom, but now his life is at stake, and the pressure brought by the Jing army to him and his tribe is too great , they were so overwhelmed that they couldn't breathe, and they were frightened for a while. How could they have time to think about the pasture?

Anyway, even if the Hu people lost the pastures of the Beiman Kingdom, at worst they could still go to Qinghai to plunder the nomads there and rob the pastures there, and they would always be able to survive.If you are poor, you should be poorer, now it is life-saving!

With the first enlightened person, there will be a second, a third... After that, all people will be enlightened.The leaders of the foreign races all figured out one thing, that is, what the Jing army wants to deal with is the northern barbarians, and probably only the northern barbarians, and these tribes have completely suffered the disaster.It doesn't matter, they don't have the ability to blame Jing Jun, and it's not only revenge, but they have suffered a crime once, so there is no reason to help the northern barbarians prevent disasters!

The Youxian King of the northern barbarians is still leading his army and tribesmen to eat with them. He also wants to eat beef, mutton, milk and tea, and asks for tents and felts from them. The style of eating and taking is simply shameless, and now let them continue to resist the powerful Jing army for the northern barbarians, why? !

The northern barbarians are not benevolent and righteous first, but do the aliens have a heart of benevolence and righteousness?

These aliens had already forgotten who was crying and shouting, and they almost knelt down, begging the northern barbarians to take them in and include them in the land of the northern barbarians.He also forgot the countless benefits that the northern barbarians brought to them when they plundered the countries of the Western Regions and other nomadic peoples.They just thought that the northern barbarians wanted to rob them of their livestock, cattle and sheep in the past, and that the northern barbarians brought them two powerful enemies, the Jing army and the Yuezhi people...

What is kindness?When it can't bring any benefits, all the kindness in the past will turn into hatred and impatience, and it will become more and more intense as time goes by!

The aliens didn't understand why they figured it out overnight and planned to expel the northern barbarians.In fact, the reason inside is very simple. In the past, what they had to face was the northern barbarians united by the left and right wise kings. Although such northern barbarians had many internal conflicts, their strength was comparable to them.Even if they thought about it, they would just force themselves to forget it, because the northern barbarians were too powerful to be bullied, and they were not something they dared to provoke casually.

But now King Zuoxian's tribe is wiped out... King Youxian is no match for them!All the resentment and resentment from the past came back.Humans are such a reality, indifferent and terrifying...
