Starting From Bandits, My Younger Brother Is More Than A Million
Chapter 43: The Battle Of Cangya Mountain
"Hey, I said why so many refugees were stopped outside the city when they entered the city today?"
"That's right, I've seen it too. It's been two or three years since I've seen such a scene, and I don't see Yao Daren taking care of it."
"You don't know this, do you? Have you heard of the Red Phosphorus Army?"
"Is this related to the Red Phosphorus Army?"
"Of course it's related. My cousin works in the county government office. I heard that Wangshan City has been captured by the Red Phosphorus Army. The refugees outside the city escaped from Wangshan City. Our Lord Yao is so worried that his hair is about to fall out. Why? Have time to manage those refugees."
"What! Wangshan City was captured by the Red Phosphorus Army? Be good to me, this is a big deal. If this is the case, wouldn't our Changping County be very dangerous?"
"Who says it's not? Today, the big families in the city have already started recruiting people. As long as they are strong and healthy, they will have five hundred liters of money a month, and they can still eat two full meals a day."
"Oh, why don't these big families usually see them so generous, but now they are panicking."
"Hey, when will this world be the end of it? Just a few years after this good time, war broke out again, and people are still not allowed to live."
...
The chatter downstairs continued to reach Lu Xiao's ears, and Lu Xiao finally understood the whole story.
Changping County belongs to Fuzhou City, but its location is indeed on the edge of Fuzhou City.
And another big city close to Fuzhou City is Wangshan City which was discussed by everyone downstairs just now.
Although this city is not as prosperous as Fuzhou City, it can be regarded as one of the best cities in Beihe Prefecture.
There are a total of eighteen cities in the Beihe Mansion of the Great Song Dynasty.
In terms of ranking, Wangshan City is also in the top five.
As for the Red Phosphorus Army, it was a well-known rebel army in Beihe Prefecture.
When there was a severe drought a few years ago, the Red Phosphorus Army rose up, until last year it was heard that half of the city in Beihe Prefecture had been captured.
Unexpectedly, even Wangshan City has been captured now.
It seems that the Red Phosphorus Army has become a reality.
I'm afraid that apart from the Huben Camp stationed in Fuzhou City, there is no other force in Beihe Mansion that is their opponent.
But it's all little things.
The most important thing is that Wangshan City is adjacent to Fuzhou City.
Once the Red Phosphorus Army wants to take Fuzhou City, it is bound to pass through the boundary of Changping County.
At that time, it is unknown how many innocent people will die at his hands.
According to rumors, the Red Phosphorus Army had a precedent of massacring a city.
This is also the situation that the people in the city are most worried about.
Although the Red Phosphorus Army may not be able to appreciate the small county of Changping County, if someone passes by in a bad mood and slaughters you, you have no place to reason.
Therefore, today's rich and powerful families in Changping County have all started to recruit people by coincidence.
Just in case.
If the Red Phosphorus Army really comes in, at least they still have a little bit of self-protection power.
As for escaping early?
where to escape?
Other places may not be as safe as Changping County, at least the Red Phosphorus Army hasn't come over yet, has it?
"Hey, why do you think the imperial court is so useless that the little red phosphorus army can take down nearly half of Beihe Mansion? Are the people in the imperial court full of wine bags and rice bags?"
"Hush~~ Keep your voice down, if it reaches Yao Daren's ears, be careful of your life."
"There is nothing to keep quiet. I think that the battle at Cangya Mountain broke Da Song's backbone fifty years ago. Before that, why did my people in Da Song suffer from such uselessness? Mr. Cao is not a son of man. Missed me Da Song Shanhe!"
The man seemed a little drunk, so he spoke freely.
He heard the people around him disperse one after another, as if they were afraid of being implicated by him.
Lu Xiao was puzzled.
He has heard of Cao Xianggong, that is the prime minister of the current court, with all the power in the court and the public, and he is invincible.
But Lu Xiao had never heard of the so-called Battle of Cangya Mountain.
His body is only twenty years old, and he was not born fifty years ago. How could he know such a long time ago.
Looking at his wife, Lu Xiao asked, "Lady, do you know about the Battle of Cangya Mountain?"
Yu Shuning was born in a scholarly family and has read a lot since she was a child. Maybe she will know.
Hearing the question, Yu Shuning raised his head and said, "Master, what did you ask him for? It was already fifty years ago."
Yu Shuning didn't have a Cultivation Base, so she didn't hear the conversation of those people downstairs just now.
"It's nothing, just curious, can you tell me about it?" Lu Xiao said.
Yu Shuning nodded, and then began to speak slowly.
Fifty years ago, a million-strong army of the Huns in the northern grasslands invaded the Song Dynasty.
At that time, the national strength of Song Dynasty was not as it is now. It was a real powerful country in the world.
There are not only millions of strong soldiers, but also a generation of Divine General Long Haichuan commanding the country's soldiers and horses.
Long Haichuan's life is quite legendary. He was born in a reckless family, joined the army at the age of twelve, and rose from a soldier to the position of Generalissimo of the Great Song Army.
It took only twenty years in the middle.
And it is invincible.
That's why it has the title of God of War in Song Dynasty.
Knowing that the Xiongnu invaded the territory of the Song Dynasty, General Long was ordered to lead two million soldiers of the Song Dynasty to meet the enemy.
The two sides met at Cangya Mountain, and then a decisive battle broke out.
Originally, this battle was not unexpected in the eyes of the people of Song Dynasty.
Whether it is in terms of the number of soldiers and horses, or in terms of weapons and equipment, the Song Dynasty is more than stronger than the Xiongnu.
At that time, the folks of the Song Dynasty even called for General Long to go north to completely wipe out the Huns.
And there are quite a few people who support this statement.
It's a pity, never expected that General Dragon would be defeated in the battle of Cangya Mountain.
Also completely defeated.
Including General Lian Long, the entire army of two million Song soldiers was wiped out, and no one was spared.
After the news was sent back to the court, the whole country was shocked.
Since then, the Xiongnu iron cavalry has been unstoppable, and has been killed to the capital of the Song Dynasty.
Then the current emperor sent people to negotiate peace with the Huns.
He ceded the sixteen prefectures of Youyun, paid 350,000,000 taels of silver in compensation, countless grains and cloth, and promised to pay five million silver coins to the Xiongnu every year.
It is known as [Cangya Covenant] in history.
It can be said that this is the most shameful covenant since the founding of the Song Dynasty.
If it was just like this, Da Song would not become what it is today.
The big deal is to endure the humiliation and endure the humiliation, and wait for the next day to fight again.
But never expected that at the end of signing the covenant, the Xiongnu proposed a condition that made the whole country of Song Dynasty angry.
They asked Da Song to hand over all of General Long's family who had died in battle.
As soon as this condition came out, the whole country was in an uproar.
General Long was loyal to the country and made countless contributions to Song Dynasty throughout his life.
At this time, if the Song court handed over his family, then the face of the Song Dynasty would be completely lost.
All of a sudden, whether it was the court or the people, there were voices of opposition.
Many people even shouted that they would not die with the Xiongnu, which meant that they would unite as one.
It's a pity that today's majesty disregarded the opposition of all officials and directly started killing.
At least two-thirds of the officials in the court were exterminated and ransacked their homes.
The number of people implicated in Death alone exceeds 300,000 people.
There are countless indirect deaths.
In the end, he agreed to the unreasonable request of the Huns.
At the moment when the current sage made the decree, the four hundred and ninety-seven members of the Long family, regardless of men, women, old or young, committed suicide.
It can be said that the time will last forever, and this hatred will last forever.
Since then, Song Dynasty not only lost the war, but also lost the backbone and integrity.
Only those who are greedy for life and afraid of death are left in the court.
Today's Cao Xianggong became the first person under the emperor after that big purge.
Since then, there have been many rumors about General Long's death that year.
One of the most rumored is that Mr. Cao colluded with the Huns as early as that year, which killed General Long.
Of course there is another argument.
It is said that Cao Xianggong is just a knife, and the real knife holder has another name and taboo.
But who the knife-wielding man was, no one said clearly.
But everyone in the world knows that a person who is qualified to wield the sword of Mr. Cao, so needless to say?
It can only be the Ninth Five-Year Lord.
So far, the Great Song Dynasty can be said to have completely lost popular support.
Since then, civil uprisings have often occurred in the Song Dynasty.
Until the severe drought a few years ago, the uprising was pushed to its peak.
The world is in chaos.
