Firmament

If you don't hold grudges, you are a steelless person.

- Dongxiang proverb

Autumn has arrived, and the weather is gradually getting cooler. The geese from the north form a zigzag or herringbone line and fly towards the south, looking for a warm home in the distance.

The commander of the grassland country held a banquet on the grassland and drank wine with the generals.

He looked at the geese flying south in the sky and said with emotion: "Those wild geese in the sky are our guides. Wherever it flies, it is where we should conquer. Brave soldiers, step on your horses, wield your swords, and march towards your enemy's lair!"

As the saying goes, the arm can't twist the thigh.

As a general, Badr could not disobey the orders of the commander and lead his troops to join the main army and participate in the war to destroy the female state.

Ali and his wife, Sauron, who was pregnant with Rokka, set out with Badr's army. Ali was worried that Sauron's body would not be able to withstand the long bumps, and he couldn't help but complain a few words about the war.

But Sauron said nonchalantly: "You don't have to worry about me! We steppe people have been a people on horseback since ancient times, born on horseback, grew up on horseback, died on horseback, and spent our whole life on horseback. "

In January 1234, the once prominent Female Naokuni officially withdrew from the stage of history.

The White Gao Great Xia Kingdom and the Nuzhi Kingdom were all destroyed. The people who were most pleased with this result were not the steppe people who had won the victory, but Ali the Khorezm man.

Ali always hoped that the cruel and bloody war would end soon, and that he would be able to bid farewell to the army of the steppe country, return to his dear Khorezm, and return to his beautiful hometown. Now that the war is over, unexpected troubles have followed: what about his wife, Sauron, and what about the child in Sauron's womb

Ali was deeply distressed and conflicted......

Badr has become increasingly depressed since the violent death of Baolig, and often uses alcohol to drown his sorrows and dispel his resentment. Although he had to obey the command of the boss on the surface, deep down he was unwilling to fight for him anymore.

The coach was naturally very dissatisfied with Badr's performance, and he was eager to get rid of this thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh, considering that Badr was not only the righteous son of General Huhe Bari, but also had made outstanding military exploits for the grassland country, it was inconvenient to take action against him easily, and sent him to guard the central capital that had just been occupied with a small team.

Badr was in the military camp outside the middle capital, and when he saw the high-ranking officials fighting openly and secretly for the throne, the blades met each other, as if there were countless sharp knives stirring in his chest, and he was dying in pain.

He slapped his legs angrily and scolded sharply: "It is not easy to seize the country, and it is even more difficult to defend the country." These unscrupulous descendants have rebelled against the will of the Great Khan and caused a miasma in the country! Alas, the anger of our steppe country has not been long ......

."

Before Badr could finish venting his resentment, a stream of bright red blood erupted from his mouth.

The guards were frightened, and hurriedly helped Badr to lie on the soft couch, and hurriedly wiped the blood on his face and clothes.

When Ali saw Badr's condition, he was shocked: when he was a child, he heard his grandmother say that once a person vomits blood, his life will come to an end.

Ali hurriedly ran to the city to invite Zhang Langzhong, who had the most medical skills.

Zhang Langzhong closed his eyes slightly, put a pulse on Badr's wrist for a while, and said casually: "It doesn't matter. My lord, this is in a hurry. I prescribed him a few calming medicines. Take it regularly for two days and adults will be fine. "

Zhang Langzhong said that, waved his pen and prescribed a prescription, received the reward and got up to leave.

Ali took the prescription prescribed by Zhang Langzhong, hurried to the street, found a large pharmacy, bought a few packets of medicinal herbs mixed with hay and gravel, and returned to the military palace sweating profusely.

According to Zhang Langzhong's instructions, Ali poured the medicinal materials in the paper bag into the clay pot, added the well water that had just been beaten, boiled it over high heat, and then fried it slowly over low heat. Finally, he poured the black-brown liquid from the clay pot into a wooden bowl. When the potion had cooled, he carefully served Badr to drink.

The female kingdom that occupied the Central Plains perished. The armies of the steppe countries swarmed in again, continuing to occupy the northern territories of the eastern countries.

There was an uproar in the eastern country. The vast number of soldiers and civilians were filled with righteous indignation and actively demanded that troops be sent to the Central Plains to strike at the army of the steppe country and recover their homeland.

The Gong brothers continued to fight everywhere to protect their families and defend the country, trying their best to stop the advancing Prairie State army. As a military staff officer of the Eastern Army, Gong Guangzu assisted the general Cao Youwen in managing and training the army, and was active in the front line of battle. Gong Yaozu served as the garrison officer of the Eastern Kingdom, mainly responsible for the defense of the rear

Gong Guangzu hurriedly met the invading grassland army. He led his soldiers to hold their positions on the slopes of the mountains, planted the banners of the Eastern Army on the hills, and deliberately beat drums and shouted in order to confuse the enemy and make them dare not rush into battle.

Gong Guangzu retreated to Da'an.

Da'an not only has no danger to defend, but also has no food and no water. There was an ancient fort on the nearby Jiguan Mountain (located in the southwest of present-day Mianxian County, Shaanxi) that could be garrisoned, but the grain and grass stored in it were only enough to last the army for about five days.

Gong Guangzu and the generals discussed and decided: Gong Guangzu led 10,000 men and horses to defend Jiguan Mountain, and Cao Youwen led 7,700 elite soldiers to cross the river from Da'an and march 300 miles backwards, setting up an ambush in the valleys around Liuxi and Heishui.

Gong Guangzu and Cao Wan were ordered to go to the mountain pass to take the initiative to attack, lure the army of the grassland country out to meet the battle, attract the enemy's main force, and take the opportunity to cover Cao Youwen and lead the army to break through. In the evening, they successfully completed the covering task, sounded the gong to collect the troops, and withdrew to the ancient castle.

The army of the steppe country tracked down and surrounded the ancient castle.

When Cao Youwen learned that the grassland army was in a plan, he immediately led the army to brave the torrential rain to march quickly to Yangping Pass, and divided into three routes to enter the enemy's camp. After breaking through the enemy's 10 battalions in a row, the advance of the team went straight to Yangping Pass.

Gong Guangzu and Cao Wan heard the sound of war drums outside the ancient castle, and immediately led the soldiers to rush out of the ancient castle with shouts, destroying more than half of the grassland country's army.

Before the Eastern Army had time to share the joy of victory, the results of the battle were crushed by the steppe reinforcements who arrived later. In the end, due to the great loss of combat effectiveness and outnumbering, they were forced to break through and retreat. Cao Youwen was unfortunately hit by an arrow and fell off his horse during the retreat. He lay on the ground and continued to fight until his heroic death.

Gong Guangzu and Cao Wan led the remaining 500 soldiers to flee back to the ancient castle on Jinji Mountain.

The next day, Gong Guangzu and Cao Wan found that reinforcements had not arrived. There was no food left in the castle. So, they decided that they could not wait for death here and led the officers and soldiers to break through the siege. While fighting, they retreated, retreated to the Longmen area and continued to stubbornly kill the enemy's ......

A few days later, Gong Yaozu led the rescue army to rush to Longmen.

The tragic scene in front of them shocked Gong Yaozu and the soldiers, and their hearts were broken: the valley was littered with the corpses of the officers and soldiers of the Eastern Kingdom. The earth was stained crimson with blood. Bloody heads hung from the branches. Gong Guangzu, Cao Wan and other 500 soldiers all died in battle!

Gong Yaozu endured his grief and buried the bodies of his brother and other officers and soldiers with the soldiers, and vowed to avenge the dead officers and soldiers. Their angry roars resounded through the sky and shook the earth.

Gong Yaozu led the army to quickly occupy Yangping Pass, and defeated the grassland army of tens of thousands of people by adopting the tactics of two-sided attack, avenging the sacrifice of the officers and soldiers.

Gong Yaozu led the army to take advantage of the momentum to advance north, regain the Xianren Pass, and force the army of the Grassland State to withdraw from the eastern border.

Gong Taiyuan's third grandson, Gong Runzu, was witty, intelligent, and determined, and was a general under the Eastern Commander. He remembered that "the thief captures the king first", and in the battle of Xupu Bridge, he stared at the general of the grassland country and released a cold arrow to shoot him off his horse.

The general spat blood from his mouth and struggled hard. The two looped legs twitched a few times, and then there was no movement.

The soldiers of the steppe country were shocked when they saw the commander lose his life, and retreated with their heads in their hands.

Gong Runzu was not carried away by the victory, but calmly considered: the strength of the grassland country's army was 10 times that of his own, and he could not fight it in a simple way. Therefore, he arranged three ambushes on the enemy's inevitable path, and set up artillery on the city wall west of Jinju, intending to win by surprise.

The next day, the steppe country army entered an ambush circle.

Gong Runzu immediately ordered the condescending ambush to attack. For a time, the artillery and stones were fired in unison, and the enemy was overturned on his back and collapsed.

The

army of the Eastern Kingdom won the Battle of Jinju and avenged the soldiers who died on the battlefield in the west.
