"When heaven is healthy, a gentleman will strive for self-improvement; when the terrain is Kun, a gentleman will carry things with virtue."
Ran min rode lightly on his horse. Zhu Longma untied his saddle and other tools and easily followed him. Surrounded by a large group of knights without armor.
After leaving the grassland from Yanmen pass, they first went to Junzi Ji... That is, Shengle. Later, they turned to tanchan mountain and went to Ruyuan along Shanbai ancient road. When they got to Ruyuan, they went straight north and cleaned all the way more than 800 miles north. They found some tribes that didn't distribute nomadic tokens in the Han country and had a good time.
A thousand cavalry, together with ran min and a hundred followers, totaled 1101. In two months, they cut off three or four thousand heads, added nearly 20000 slaves to the Han state, and seized countless cattle, horses, sheep and materials.
The captured and captured soldiers were sent to their own garrison points. The captured leaders had also been registered and turned over, and their number had been reduced to 967. However, ran min took the people into Rouran territory.
"There would have been a determination to self-improvement, but I don't believe in virtue at all."
Ran min shouted loudly, and all the Knights laughed loudly.
Watching these Han people galloping, there are less than 1000 people, but there are nearly 5000 horses. What makes people evil is that some horses are tied and hung with ropes, and some heads are even shriveled. Needless to say, the first level is the harvest after entering Rouran territory.
The grassland is very large. Without obvious landmarks, it is difficult to recognize where they are. Ran min and others know whether they have entered Rouran territory or encountered Rouran tribe in grazing state.
The misunderstanding did not happen. Which veteran soldier would not send scouts to guard around. The Scouts must have been discovered earlier than the headquarters. Ran min still chose to attack on the premise that he knew it was Rouran tribe. When Rouran people, such as those who broke the small tribe's camp, angrily accused the Han army of attacking, he hypocritically explained that he had hit the wrong person. Then? Then there was no more.
The wrong number is the wrong number. The Rouran tribe that was beaten can't beat ran min. waiting for ran min to run away with the robbed things, no matter how many Rouran people died, they basically died in vain. Even if Rouran Khan court protested to the Han state, they basically won't get any compensation.
In fact, the Rouran tribe who was beaten cleaned up and moved immediately. They didn't even report to the Rouran Khan court. Grassland people are well aware of the distinction between the strong and the weak. It won't be useful to be beaten and wronged. If they really report to the Khan court, the tribes with serious losses won't get any justice and will be forced to merge with other tribes, it will be even worse at that time.
Ran min and others not only attacked a Rouran tribe, but they were short of materials on the way to the West. They just found a Rouran tribe that could start to rob, and they could succeed every time.
After they succeeded repeatedly, they asked Rouran people and learned that there was no warning at all. It was normal for a tribe to do so, but it was too strange for each tribe to do so. They guessed that the robbed tribe ran away cleanly and without notice.
They kept going west until they saw Junji mountain. The scouts behind them reported that a large army was approaching. Needless to say, as long as they were behind them, there was no one but Rouran people.
Junji mountain is in the north of the northwest of the Han Dynasty. It is Outer Mongolia in terms of modern geographical location, but now it is the territory of the Han Dynasty.
The state of Han set up a military headquarters in Junji mountain, where troops were stationed for a long time. A large number of people approached in Rouran direction. In fact, the outpost of the military headquarters had lit a wolf smoke, and the headquarters was ready to deal with it.
"The front of the visitor is a friendly army, and nearly ten thousand horses in the rear are Rouran people."
"Rouran people have the courage to approach Han soil?"
Naturally, the school captain is the chief officer of the school captain department, and Dou A is the chief officer of the school captain department. He gathered his troops and warned the rear, but he didn't know which part the friendly forces in front belonged to.
"The big man did not declare war on Rouran. Why did the friendly forces come from Rouran?"
They are people who have experienced many battles. We can see that the Rouran people who ride more than 10000 are chasing. It can be seen that what the friendly forces have done has annoyed the Rouran people. Otherwise, the Rouran people would not dare to gather their hands close to the territory of the Han state.
Speaking of it, ran min didn't play his own flag. There were common Han Army flags floating in the team. They acted wantonly in Rouran territory and attacked many tribes. However slow the response of Rouran Khan court is, it should be aware of the clue.
Rouran Khan court learned that the Han Army robbed and killed recklessly in its own territory. The first moment when it learned the news was not anger. In fact, most people were scared to pee. It was not easy for them to gather a lot of news. They also determined that the Han army was only more than a thousand, and there was no sign of wantonly assembling troops on the edge of the Han territory. They were sure that the Han state had no intention of going to war. After some shock, they felt that they had no face and could not do nothing. Only then did they wait for ran min to approach Junji mountain before sending soft cavalry to pursue.
Rouran is the new overlord who replaces Xianbei people in the grassland. It is this overlord who is not the same level as the previous Xianbei, and is no better than the once prosperous Xiongnu. Their territory is probably the later Outer Mongolia, the part of central Siberia in Russia and the outer Baikal border area. It is named in Mobei according to the geography of Zhuxia ancient times.
The relationship between the Han state and Rouran is relatively friendly, mainly because the Han Army swept through the seemingly powerful Tuoba Dai state and Murong Yan state, which frightened the contemporary Rouran Khan Yu jiulu Bati and made them extremely afraid of the strength of the Han army.
Then, the remnants of Tuoba and Murong retreated to Xianbei grassland (east of Baikal Lake), which posed a serious threat to the east of Rouran. There were also Xigao and Donggao cars with Rouran, forcing Rouran to really dare not provoke the Han country.
Since Xie AI led the army to defeat Rouran, Yu jiulu Bati issued a strict order to all ministries not to take the initiative to provoke the Han state. The characteristics of nomads also determined that all tribes would not listen to the words of the Khan court. Naturally, some tribes would provoke the border army of the Han state. It would be a bad end to go to the provocation, and their own tribes would also be harvested. Only with a painful lesson can we recognize that the strong should not be bullied, Become quite sensible.
In fact, the Han state hopes that the Rouran people can better find Ding Ling people (both East and West High cars belong to Ding Ling people) and two residual Xianbei to play with their lives. The Rouran people can find the Han state to purchase weapons.
In terms of nomadic technology, the ordnance of the Han country is naturally very easy to use. Facing the xigaoche, donggaoche, Tuoba and Murong remnants, the vulnerable population finally withstood the military pressure, but in this way, it is more humble and patient with the Han country.
Doua's judgment is that his own people have provoked the Rouran people, which is very well founded. In the past two years, the Rouran people's army has really not been close to the territory of the Han state. As for the small group, Rouran is not afraid of death and wants to fight the autumn wind. Naturally, there will be some, that is, the Revenge of the Han army is quite fierce.
The garrison of junjishan Colonel's headquarters has repeatedly entered Rouran territory to carry out retaliatory attacks. Rouran has maintained the greatest patience. Because the state of Han did not intend to invade Rouran, it would withdraw every time it entered, but both sides maintained maximum restraint.
"Two years have passed..." Dou a naturally rode on his horse and looked at the two dark shadows of the distant Army: "this is the first time."
Until the scouts sent by doua came back, he knew that the friendly army was directly led by the Hussars general ran min, and he also knew what ran min and others had done in Rouran territory.
"Worthy of being a Hussars general." Chang Shi Zhang Hao patted his forehead and said silently, "no one will do this except the Hussars general."
The state of Han didn't take Rouran seriously. On the premise that Rouran still has utilization value, the state of Han wouldn't bully Rouran too much. The problem is that ran min really went too far this time.
Snowstorms continued to occur in the north of Mobei in the past few years. The white disaster on the grassland forced the tribes in the north to move southward. The tribes in the South were squeezed by the tribes from the north and had to move further south. The tribes belonging to the same alliance still fought and fought continuously, and the forces of different alliances naturally broke out bloody wars because of the competition for living space.
Eight years after Yuanshuo, the snowstorms on the grassland are not so intense and frequent, but it can be said that the weather has not become warm. For example, there are signs of drought in the northwest and Northern Xinjiang of the Han Dynasty, but the snow continues to fall on the grassland. In particular, the amount of snow on the grassland in the north is not small at all, but the environment is slightly better than that in the south.
The territory of xigaoche and donggaoche is quite close to the Arctic Circle, and the bad weather forced them to migrate south.
The geographical location of xigaoche is doomed. Either they choose the location occupied by the Han state or they have to start with Rouran, but they start with the Han state and Rouran at the same time.
The East High car is not as good as the West High car. After the remnants of Tuoba and Murong moved north, they have no time for themselves. Then Rouran also took the opportunity to go north to cut off the threat (actually trying to rob), and they are completely unable to go south.
In this overall situation, the Han state had no reason to find Rouran uncomfortable. Ran min entered Rouran territory this time and acted recklessly. If there was no central permission, it would not be the job of a Hussars general than Sangong.
"We didn't know the central intention." What can Dou a do now? He could only move forward slowly with his troops: "go and warn the soft people. If they approach the Han territory within five miles, it will be regarded as a war against the big man."
Before doua sent a warning, Rouran took the initiative to stop about ten miles near the Han territory, but he also sent people to the Han army.
Before Rouran arrived, dou'a led the Department to meet with ran min and others. Of course, the head of junjishan Colonel's department took the initiative to meet ran min. After a brief conversation, the two sides also determined that ran min had legal procedures for sending troops, and more importantly, ran min did not command the relevant official documents and tiger amulets of junjishan Colonel's headquarters.
"It's nothing, just too many Rouran tribes cross the border to herd and get the lesson they deserve." Ran min didn't care whether others believed it or not. Anyway, he believed it himself: "this Hussars led all the soldiers to defend the territory, went to Rouran territory and taught those ignorant guys a little lesson."
Dou A and Zhang Hao can only look at each other in silence. They are helpless that "ran min is the Hussars general, so what the Hussars general says is what".
In the Han Dynasty, it was customary to set up a school captain department in Jimi district. In fact, this habit was left behind by the Han Dynasty. Depending on the geographical location, the number of troops stationed in a certain Colonel's department is determined. For example, there must be more troops stationed in places like pingman Colonel's department as the front base of large-scale war, while there will be relatively few defensive places like junjishan Colonel's department. Each has different specifications.
From a low position, the school captain department in a certain region is much higher than the ordinary school captain, that is, the school captain with a special prefix is basically first-class. It is recognized that he is a Birang general, and even higher than the Lang general in terms of authority, which is determined by the military and political power at the same time.
Rouran people stopped ten miles away from the Han territory, and the people they sent to the Han army were soon received. Naturally, no one can negotiate directly. Instead, the person in charge of the Han army is invited to talk in the open space between the two armies.
Ran min naturally won't show up. He's not guilty. He just simply thinks he's a grand Hussars general. If he wants to negotiate, the Khan on Rouran's side is qualified, and the rest are not qualified to let him show up at all.
Dou a, who came forward to negotiate, had no special idea about the complaints of the Rouran people. What he insisted was that the Han army was operating in his own territory. Even if some Rouran people suffered misfortune, the Rouran people should be punished for crossing the border.
Many times in the world, there is no reason at all. What we see is the size of our fists. It is very realistic that the fist of the Han state is bigger than the Rouran people. Even if the Rouran people do not recognize what the Han Army has decided, the facts that the Han Army believes will definitely be truer than the facts.
"Too much! They (referring to ran min) were once close to Tianshan (Khan court). Did Tianshan become the territory of the Han state!?"
"...? Lost, it's totally lost! There are no obvious landmarks, and you haven't sent someone to negotiate. It's normal to get lost."
"You Han people are too overbearing!"
"There's nothing more reasonable than our Han people."
Oh! The Han people are really reasonable, that is, the reason should be recognized by the Han people, otherwise it is not.
Power is justice, power is truth, and "truth" stands on the side of the Han people. The soft people have no determination to catch the dead and break the net, and the negotiation can only end in nothing.
The Rouran people withdrew, and the Han Army also returned to Junji mountain, but the matter is definitely not over.
"General, the last general can only report to the Taiwei mansion today according to the facts."
"Report, report as you should."
Dou a made eye contact with Zhang Hao again.
"General..." Dou ah looked forward to it more or less: "big man... This is going to fight Rouran?"
"Nothing." Ran min put his hands casually: "Ben rode out of Yanmen to the north, inspected all the way, and thought it was not a big deal to say hello to Rouran."
Dou a found that his IQ was not enough.
"Everything should be explained clearly by the Hussars? It's inevitable." Ran Min said like telling the truth: "if you have a dog, beat it from time to time to prevent the dog from biting back. When the general wants to go to the northwest, he will beat it up. Understand?"
Now doua and Zhang Hao both shook their heads. Xie an also led his department to fight in Xiqiang mountain. The center is to send ran min, the great murderer, to the northwest?
