Northern Dynasty folk song
Chile River, under the shady mountain,
The sky is like a vault, and the cage covers four fields.
The sky is grey and the fields are vast.
The wind blows grass and cattle and sheep are scarce.
The Lyle Song is a folk song of the Northern Dynasties, which is included in the Poems of Yuefu compiled by Guo Maoqian, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty. Guo Maoqian believes that the Chile Song was originally sung in Xianbei language, and later translated into Chinese, so the sentence length is different.
This nomadic folk song, which depicts the vast grassland in the North, entered the official book with a little-known extremely tragic and tragic war and has been passed down to this day.

The Battle of the Jade Wall
In the late autumn of 546 AD (the fourth year of Wuding, Emperor Xiaojing of the Eastern Wei Dynasty), Gao Huan, the prime minister of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, with a strong desire to unify the north, once again led 1, troops from Jinyang (now Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province) and attacked Yubi City, a frontier fortress of the Western Wei Dynasty (now southwest of Jishan Mountain, Shanxi Province) to the south. ?
The setting sun, like blood, shines obliquely on the sobbing Yellow River, and the autumn wind rustles, rolling up the yellow leaves all over the ground, leaving the world bleak.
Outside Yubi City, Gao Huan discussed the siege plan with the battalion leaders in the tent.
Gao Huan is a Cao Cao-style figure. He is highly respected, knows people well and is good at military affairs. His son Cao Pi, who studied Gao Yang, stood on his own feet on behalf of Han, abolished the emperor of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, established the Northern Qi Dynasty, and revered Gao Huan as the emperor offering martial arts (later he was renamed the emperor of SHEN WOO).
In Yubi City, Wei Xiaokuan, the secretariat of Jinzhou in the Western Wei Dynasty, is discussing with the soldiers the strategies to defend against the enemy. They decided to hold on to the fortress and wait for it.
Wei Xiaokuan is resourceful and resourceful, and he is also an outstanding general and wizard in the history of China. "History of the North" records that as long as it is Wei Xiaokuan's imaginary enemy, there are spies with him, and these spies are loyal and never have second thoughts. Wei Xiaokuan's intelligence warfare ability is second to none.
This time, he led his troops to defend Weiyubi City to the death, defeated the main force of Gao Huan, indirectly led to the decline of the Eastern Wei Dynasty (that is, the Northern Qi Dynasty), and later murdered the first general of the Northern Qi Dynasty-Hu Lvguang, the son of Hu Lvjin, an important official of Zhuguo, which directly led to the demise of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Yubi City is surrounded by eight miles and surrounded by deep valleys. The terrain is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. The two masters staged a showdown here. In this World War I, Wei Xiaokuan was destined to be the nemesis of Gao Huan. ?
heaping earth and mountains to break down the city wall VS binding trees to meet the high enemy
Because there is no water source in Yubi City, people in the city can only draw water from Fenhe River outside the city. Seeing each other's weakness, Gao Huan, based on the principle of low investment and high return, adopted the tactics of "taking the bottom out of the pot" and sent someone to cut off the water in the upper reaches of the Fenhe River overnight, keeping the Fenhe River away from Yubi City and completely cutting off the water source in the city.
I have to say that Gao Huan's move is really brilliant, and he defeated the enemy without fighting. It's a pity that Wei Xiaokuan didn't buy it, and Gao Huan blew his beard and stared.
Gao Huan has made a brilliant move of "building infrastructure", and sent people to pile up a dirt mountain in the south of Yubi City, hoping to use this dirt mountain to attack the city. Unexpectedly, Wei Xiaokuan turned out to be an infrastructure madman. He used wood as raw material to increase the height of the original tower, so that the heaped-up mountains could never be higher than the Yubi City. This move made the soldiers of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, who were tired of moving earth, fall into "despair".
?
dig a tunnel directly into the city VS ignite and blast the soldiers?
Gao Huan also felt the despair of the soldiers. Since this siege plan can't work, we should change the way: dig dozens of tunnels leading to Yubi City.
Gao Huan sent a team of "prairie dogs", dug ten tunnels, and used the warlock Li Yexing's "lonely and imaginary method" (probably understood as attacking the weak areas of the enemy) to mobilize troops and attack the north of Yubi City together.
Wei Xiaokuan had long guessed that Gao Huan would take the method of digging tunnels to attack the city. So he ordered people to dig a long ditch and use it to intercept the "groundhog" sent by Gao Huan. Then, a group of "whack-a-mole" players were called and stationed on the ditch. Whenever a "groundhog" came into the ditch through the tunnel, these players could easily destroy these "groundhogs".
What's even more remarkable is that Wei Xiaokuan had people pile up a lot of firewood outside the ditch and prepare some kindling. Once a groundhog appeared in the tunnel, he stuffed the firewood into the tunnel and threw the kindling into it. Once the fire was blown, all the groundhogs in the tunnel became "roasted groundhogs".
powerful siege vehicle VS ordinary curtain?
after Gao Huan couldn't get up (in the dirt mountain) and down (in the tunnel), he showed his killer weapon-the nemesis of the city wall, the "black technology" of ancient chariots and the "Big Mac" siege vehicle. This kind of chariot is covered with iron sheet, which is invincible and extremely destructive. At first, Wei Xiaokuan set up many roadblocks (big wooden stakes) outside the city gate. Unfortunately, these roadblocks did not stop the crazy siege vehicles.
Wei Xiaokuan then adopted the tactics of being soft and tough, and asked the soldiers to sew the cloth into a big curtain, where the siege car attacked, the cloth was placed. Because the cloth was hanging in the air, the siege vehicle could not destroy it, and the bared chariots immediately stopped eating.
Gao Huan also ordered the soldiers to tie flammable items such as pine branches and hemp stalks to a long pole in front of the car, dip them in ointment and light a fire, so as to burn the curtain, in an attempt to burn the Yubi Tower together.
Wei Xiaokuan made a long hook knife and sharpened the blade. When the fire pole was about to burn to the curtain, it was cut far away with the long hook knife, and the pine branches and hemp poles attached to the fire pole fell to the ground.
if Gao Huan fails to make a plan, he will make another plan. He ordered people to dig twenty tunnels under the four walls of Yubi City, support the walls on the ground with wooden pillars in the tunnels, and then set fire to these wooden pillars. Gao Huan easily burned down a section of the city wall by this method, and the collapse of the city wall made him see the dawn of victory.
hundreds of thousands of people took turns to attack, but Wei Xiaokuan not only blocked it, but also took the time to command engineers to build the collapsed wall.
At this point, the army of the Eastern Wei Dynasty has been attacking hard for more than 5 days, and its methods have been exhausted, with 7, casualties, but it still cannot capture Yubi City, where only a few thousand people are stationed.
Gao Huan saw that Yubi City could not be captured for a long time, and the soldiers were seriously injured and tired, so he could not afford to get sick. At this moment, there happened to be a huge meteorite falling in the military camp in Gao Huan, and there was chaos in the camp immediately. The soldiers were extremely scared and thought that God would punish them.
Gao Huan had to order to stop the siege and recuperate and wait for the right time. At this time, despair and sadness hung over the barracks like dark clouds, and the morale of the army was scattered and people's minds were moving.
Wei Xiaokuan, who was full of scheming, saw that Gao Huan was not sending troops to attack the city these days, so he sent spies to sneak into Gao Huan camp. Knowing that Gao Huan could not afford to be ill, he took the opportunity to spread rumors that Gao Huan had been shot to death, and made up a jingle for the soldiers to sing, so as to shake the morale of the other side:
Gao Huan rat, guilty of jade wall.
with a crossbow, the culprit killed himself.
when Gao Huan heard this ballad, he vomited a mouthful of old blood, and almost didn't get angry. He thought that if he lay down again, the morale of the army would be lost, and he had to patrol all the barracks immediately to let the soldiers know that he was well, so that the rumors would be broken.
He was sick and patrolling the camp, and wherever he went, there was jubilation, which greatly boosted his morale. Ginger is still old and spicy, so he gave a banquet to comfort the soldiers, while eating barbecue, and frequently advised the soldiers to drink.
after three rounds of wine, the food tastes too good. When Gao Huan saw that all the soldiers were rubbing their hands and were in high spirits, he said happily, "Isn't it a pity to have wine without songs? Today, let General Hu Lujin sing a song for everyone to help. "
Hu Lujin is a Zile nationality (the main member of the Uygur nationality in Xinjiang). He didn't read much since he was a child, and he couldn't even write his own name. His original name was Dun. He thought there were too many strokes to write, so he simply changed it to "Jin", but it was still difficult to write. Someone gave him an idea, saying that "Jin" was like a house, and you looked at it like a house. Only then did he learn to write his name.
Although Hu Lujin doesn't know many words, he is a great warrior in the north, and he is called "God of War". He is courageous and resourceful, brave and good at fighting, and he also has the super ability of precise positioning. When the two armies are at war, as long as he looks at the dust flying in the distance, he will know how far the horses are from him. On the ground, he can judge the number of the opposing army horses and the distance between the two armies from the sound coming from the ground. With these skills, won the appreciation of Gao Huan. Gao Huan has warned his son Gordon many times: "Most of your subordinates are Han Chinese. If someone stumbles on Hu Lujin, don't believe it!"
Hu Lujin deserves to be the king of K songs. He uses his wolf-like voice (Chile people like to lead Long song and howl like a wolf). ), sang a folk song that he loved to sing since he was a child:
Chilechuan, under the shady mountain,
the sky is like a vault, and the cage covers four fields.
The sky is grey and the fields are vast.
The wind blows grass and cattle and sheep are scarce.
With this song of "Wandering the Heart", Hu Lujin aroused the homesickness of the soldiers in Chilechuan, and caused a * * * sound. All the soldiers, including Gao Huan, were in tears and excited, and they couldn't help singing in chorus. At that time, the majestic, rough and loud chorus spread all over the barracks, stirring the whole battlefield ...
Gao Huan failed to return to Chilechuan, where he was attached. Half a year later, Gao Huan "was buried in the west of Zhangshui, and dug a hole next to the Temple of Heaven in Gushan Grottoes, and then stuffed it ..."?

Literary Achievements
The Chile Song is natural and unadorned, and is highly praised by later critics.
Later generations praised this poem as "the last song of Yuefu" (Wang Shizhen's Yu Yang Shi Hua) and "the crown of Yuefu for a while" (Wang Shizhen's Yi Yuan Yi Yan). Poet Hu Yinglin once said that this poem is "full of Han and Wei style".
The Chile Song was first written by Li Baiyao in the Tang Dynasty. Li yanshou, another historian of the Tang Dynasty, also recorded the Chile Song when compiling the History of the North. It can be seen that Chile Ge has enjoyed a high status in the Tang Dynasty, which is called "the age of poetry" and "the country of poetry".
under the influence of chilechuan, many poets in the Tang dynasty wrote poems chanting chilechuan, such as Li Bai's Zhao Jun's resentment, Wang Changling's Chusai and so on. There is also Wen Tingyun, who was called "Wen Ba Fork" by the Tang people because of his brilliant talent, and even wrote a song "Ci Le Ge Sai Bei".
In the Song Dynasty, Sima Guang compiled Zi Zhi Tong Jian, and there was also a special record of Chile Ge (Volume 159 "Liang Ji XV").
Wang Shizhen, a writer in the Ming Dynasty and the leader of the "Later Seven Scholars", also wrote the Chile Song with the same name. Even Lin Zexu, a native of Guangdong Province, wrote a poem, "Let me pass on the song under the plug, and let the sword at the top of the building connect with me."
Yuan Haowen, a descendant of Tuoba Xianbei, gave the highest evaluation of Chile Song in Thirty Poems No.7:
Generous songs are never passed on,
A song in the vault is natural.
Zhongzhou has always been heroic, and
I also went to Yinshan Chilechuan.
