Chapter 1524: 0 people tombs, people who are slaves!

Yifang County can be regarded as a county in the north of Lanzhou, while

Yunzhou is next to Lanzhou to the north, and further north, Yunzhou is the

prairie, where a group of powerful nomads live there, which is also Datang The

enemy of life and death-the East Turks!

Coming out of Yifang County and rushing all the way for half an hour, Weng and

Son arrived at the boundary of Yunzhou!

Yunzhou is located between the Datang and Turks. One of the sixteen states in

Yanyun. Since ancient times, it has been an important military town on the

northern border. It can be regarded as a barrier for the Tang to face the

Turks.

There are not many people here, but there are many soldiers and horses

stationed here. According to Han Lizheng, there are at least 450,000 soldiers

stationed in the county seat of Yunzhong County. Yunzhou has only one county

under its jurisdiction, and that is Yunzhong County. After arriving in

Yunzhou, Han Lizheng didn't mean to stop. Instead, he continued to run

northward. Li Zexuan asked, is it possible that the old man is taking him to

the "border line" of Datang?

After running for more than two quarters of an hour in Yunzhou, Han Lizheng

finally stopped at the foot of a mountain.

"Xiaoxuan, this is Baishan Mountain!"

Han Li was jumping off the horse, pointing to the mountain range ahead, and

said to Li Zexuan: "In the six years of Emperor Han Gaozu, Han Xin rebelled in

the Datong area and colluded with the Huns in an attempt to attack Taiyuan.

Liu Bang personally led an army of 320,000 to meet the Huns. After winning at

the bronze roller, he later pursued the victory until the area around Loufan.

It was cold and winter, with heavy snowfall, and the weather was very cold.

Although the Han army was "the twelve or three who fell the finger of death",

seeing that the Xiongnu had only the old and weak soldiers, they even won.

With eagerness, Liu Bang ignored the persuasion and obstruction of the outpost

army and led the leading cavalry troops to catch up near the Baishan Mountain.

As a result, he was hit by the Huns' trick to lure troops.

Mao Dundan led four hundred thousand cavalry to surround the Han regiment. The

Xiongnu besieged Baishan Mountain for seven days and seven nights, and the Han

army ran out of food and water, which was very dangerous. The counselor Chen

Ping persuaded Liu Bang to make peace so that Maudun would withdraw his

troops. Liu Bang agreed and sent someone to the Turkic camp to report on Liu

Bang's peace policy. At that time, the main force of 320,000 brought by Liu

Bang was about to arrive in Baishan Mountain. If Mao Dun Shan Yu did not

agree, he would face a double-sided attack!

In the end, the Huns withdrew and Liu Bang left thousands of corpses in

Baishan Mountain. But the Han Dynasty also opened the prelude to making peace

with the Huns. It was not until the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that Wei

Qing and Huo Qubing attacked the Huns. Shame! "

Han Tianhu originally came from the Han family of the previous dynasty. His

grandfather Han Qinhu is a state of the upper column and has a prominent

official position. Although Han Tianhu is only the son of Han Shiye’s

concubine, he is not favored in the family, but his knowledge is much more

knowledgeable than ordinary people. , So he can comprehend these historical

events at his fingertips.

Li Zexuan couldn't help being silent for a while.

He didn't know the battle of Baishan in the Western Han Dynasty. After all, he

didn't study history in his previous life, but he still knew about the

marriage between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu. Didn't Zhaojun's departure

from the fortress happen at this time?

"At the beginning of the founding of the country, Liu Bang was not strong in

his country. It was indeed difficult to fight against the Huns, but the peace

that was exchanged for women was really disgusting for men of my generation!"

After a moment of silence, Li Zexuan said.

Han Tianhu nodded fiercely, and said with excitement: "Xiaoxuan, you are

right, the old man thinks so too! Why should my good woman in the Central

Plains be sent to the Turks and let the barbarians ruin? Back then, we

followed King Qin on the border. Isn’t fighting for the people to live a

stable life? Isn’t it because I don’t want to trade women for peace with the

Turkic people? Da Tang should stand and die, rather than kneel down for

perfection and make a living. So, thousands of Datang Haoerlang are buried

under this white mountain!"

At this moment, the two of them led the horse around a bend, following the

direction of Han Li's finger, Li Zexuan looked intently, and was immediately

stunned!

I can see thousands of mud packs of different sizes, neatly lined up at the

foot of the mountain. In front of each mud pack stands a one-foot-long wooden

sign. The wooden sign is vaguely engraved. Obviously, This is a tomb forest, a

tomb forest of a thousand people!

Right in front of the thousands of small earthen bags, there is a big earthen

bag, which is very big and big. It is estimated that 20 people will not be

able to enclose it by holding hands. The four words "Da Tang Hero".

Inexplicably, Li Zexuan suddenly wanted to cry.

"The tomb at the very front is full of soldiers who have incomplete bodies and

cannot be identified. I didn't know the names of each of them, so I had to

bury them here together!"

Looking at the super huge grave in front of him, Han Li said quietly.

When Han Tianhu was a teenager, he was forced to wander the rivers and lakes

when the mistress of the Han family was blinded. He had no feelings for the

former Sui Dynasty. Later, Li Yuan set up troops from Taiyuan and attacked

Chang'an with the force of wind and thunder, and established the Kingdom of

Tang Dynasty. In the ensuing counter-insurgency war, it was like a broken

bamboo and a tendency to calm the country. Suddenly, the Turkic offended the

side, that is, at that time, Han Tianhu officially joined the army. And step

by step called Qin Qiong's guard!

In the war between Datang and Turks, Han Li is experiencing life and death,

and his feelings for his comrades-in-arms Paoze and the country have deepened!

It is based on this kind of national conditions and robe that he voluntarily

came to Lanzhou to guard the tombs of these heroes!

Infected by Han Tianhu, Li Zexuan's mood became a little sad at this time,

especially when he thought of the people buried under this huge tomb. They

were born and died for this country, but in the end, even the body was

incomplete and even a tomb of his own. Nothing, his heart is very

uncomfortable.

He didn’t know that this was actually considered good. Soldiers from many

dynasties set out to bury their dead soldiers in a mass grave after the

battle. Every soldier has a grave and a tombstone like this one. It's very

"humanitarian". As for the incomplete corpses to be buried in a huge tomb,

this is no way!

When he walked to the huge tomb, Li Zexuan took a deep breath, then bowed to

the tombstone in a very respectful manner. He secretly said: "You can go with

ease, this Great Tang, I will take care of you! "

"Xiaoxuan, come with me!"

At this time, Han Li was sighing, walked up the mountain, and said to Li

Zexuan.

Li Zexuan didn't know, so he had to follow it.

Baishan Mountain is a group of mountains, including many peaks, the peaks here

are not very steep, two people can easily climb to the top of the mountain

with a horse.

"Xiaoxuan, look over there!"

When he came to the top of the mountain, Han Li was pointing north and said to

Li Zexuan.

Li Zexuan looked in the direction of Han Li's finger, and saw that there were

flocks of sheep on the grassland north of the mountain range. Near each flock

of sheep, two people followed, presumably the shepherd who looked after the

flock.

"The Turks are actually herding sheep here? Are they not afraid that the

court's soldiers and horses will ** their sheep?"

Li Zexuan frowned.

These sheep flocks are basically not far from the border crossing between

Datang and Turks. Those people who dare to herd sheep here are a bit crazy in

Li Zexuan's view!

Han Lizheng shook his head and said, "No! They are not Turkic people, they are

Han people!"

"Han?"

Li Zexuan couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the words: "Since it is

a Han, why do they go to herding sheep on the grassland? Are they not afraid

of the looting by the Turks?"

Han Li was closing his eyes in pain, sighing, and replied: "To be precise,

they are Han people enslaved by Turks! Each of them wears fetters on their

feet and ropes around their necks. People are raised as livestock, and they

are driven to help with work! After so many years, they can’t escape, and they

don’t want to escape. If there is an army here to rescue them, the Turkic

soldiers behind them will shoot them as soon as possible. Kill, and then run

away!"

Li Zexuan's eyes widened in horror. Hearing Han Lizheng's sobbing words, he

couldn't help clenching his teeth and clenching his fists. The whole body was

also involuntarily filled with a thick murderous aura. He took a deep breath.

Ziping suppressed the anger in his heart, and then asked:

"Father-in-law, how could the Han people work for the Turks on the grassland?

Were they caught by the Turks?"

Han Lizheng shook his head and said: "Some of them were captured by Turkic

people from the border states and counties, and most of them were in the late

Sui Dynasty when the people of Central Plains fled the war! No one knows how

many of these people, maybe There are hundreds of thousands, maybe one

million! But in either case, most of the Han people on the grassland were

controlled by the Turks, either as slaves, cattle and horses, or sent to the

Turkic army In case of war, they are often arranged to be human shields at the

forefront!"

Li Zexuan said in shock: "Millions...? Are there really so many Han people

fleeing to Turks?"

Han Tianhu nodded and said, "Of course! Now Jie Li Khan claims to have

millions of people who control the strings, so many people, where do you think

they come from?"

Li Zexuan was speechless for a while. He never expected that among the

millions of string-controlling men in Turks, there were many Han people. Using

Han people to attack Han people, Jie Li is really vicious!

In fact, what Han Tianhu said is not an exaggeration at all. In the early days

of the founding of the Great Tang, the national power was weak, but he

encountered the East Turks whose national power was at a super peak state.

This super peak was a peak never seen in Turkic history.

"Sui Shu · Turkic Biography" wrote: "The chaos of the end of the Sui Dynasty,

and countless Chinese returned to it, so it became prosperous and prospered in

the summer."

Summer in the Mausoleum!

In just four words, the power of the East Turks at that time was fully

demonstrated!

"Old Tang Book · Turkic Biography" also wrote: "The beginning of the Khan, the

Khan of the people, the son of the Khan. The succession of the great cause of

the Sui Dynasty, the world is in chaos, and there are many Chinese who are

rushing. Since Khitan, Shiwei, Tuyuhun and Gaochang in the west, they are all

subject to Yan. Controlling more than a million yuan, Beidi is prosperous, and

there is no one. Looking high at Yinshan, there is aspiration to light the

summer."

These are all descriptions of the strong national power of the Turks in the

late Sui and early Tang dynasties. In contrast, the "powerfulness" of the

Turkic forces during the Shaboli Khan period is another story.

"Sui Shu·Turkic Biography" wrote: "Shabo was brave and won the crowd, and all

the northern barbarians belonged to it...all the crowds are invaders, and

there are 400,000 people who control the strings."

How long did it take for 400,000 people to control strings to one million?

Thirty years, yes, only thirty years!

In thirty years, the mobilizable force of the East Turks has soared from four

hundred thousand to one million! That means that the population base required

to mobilize the army will also be doubled and a half year-on-year!

However, it is simply impossible to rely on natural population growth in terms

of the harsh living environment of the grassland. Moreover, the "400,000

string-controlling" in the era of Saboluo was still a "spectacle" before the

Turkic civil war broke out into the East and the West. If we take into account

the population and army losses caused by the Turkic civil war, and the sudden

drop in the population and army caused by the division of the Turks into the

east and the west, we also take into account the population losses and army

losses caused by the Sui Dynasty’s several fierce attacks on the Turks. The

loss is also taken into account. Then, before the Central Plains civil strife,

the number of troops in Shibi Khan when he first became a Turkic Khan would

never exceed 200,000!

However, after the Central Plains civil strife, after countless asylum Han

Chinese entered the Turkic territory, the East Turkic forces rapidly expanded

from less than 200,000 to a million. UU reading www.uukanshu.com shows that

there are at least 800,000 Central Plains Hans who are strong and strong.

Joining the East Turkic army, this kind of military expansion speed can

definitely be described as "crazy".

Of course, not all Han Chinese were sent to the army, because the logistics

supply of a million string-controlling men is an astronomical figure. The

Turkic people alone certainly cannot provide the logistics of such a large

army, so, more The Han Chinese were enslaved by the Turks!

This is the result of the influx of countless Han Chinese from the Central

Plains to the north of the Great Wall during the war in the late Sui Dynasty!

The national power of the East Turks has become unprecedentedly strong as a

result!

"Father-in-law, since there are so many Han people in the Turkic territory,

can you find a way to unite them and fight against Jieli together? By then,

Datang will take advantage of the situation to send troops to join forces

inside and outside. What if there are millions of people in Turkic control?"

After a long silence, Li Zexuan asked suddenly.

"Xiaoxuan, the human heart is a complicated thing, definitely not as simple as

you think!"

Han Lizheng shook his head and said earnestly: "Those people of the Tang

Dynasty who were taken captive by the Turks, many of them may still want to

return to the Tang Dynasty, but those Han people who take the initiative to

seek refuge in the grassland may not be in great interest. On the Tang side!

Among the millions of Turks, there are only two or three hundred thousand

Turks at most, but why can the two or three hundred thousand Turks be able to

control the seven or eight hundred thousand Han? Have you ever thought about

this question?"

Li Zexuan raised his brows and his face became difficult to look.

Before he could answer, Han Li said with no expression on his face: "Although

the Turkic people have strict control over the Han people, just relying on

this to control the 700,000 or 800,000 Han army is tantamount to wishful

thinking! For so many years, on the grassland. The reason why there was no

chaos among the Han people in China was that some people did not want to

return to Datang, they were willing to work for the Turks. They had already

forgotten that they were Han in their bones!!"
