Chapter II
A frontier town.
The handsome boy stepped onto the storytelling platform of the tavern.
If you want to say a paragraph that is appropriate for the situation, what should be the scene?
The lonely goose in the desert, Loulan's five thousand iron hooves went straight to the eight directions of the border town!
"Ladies and gentlemen, the kid is the first to come to this Bafang Town, first of all, I will salute you here, look at the warriors of our Bafang Town, this sky full of yellow sand can't help but think of a story I once heard, I will tell you today."
The boy's voice is infectious, crisp but penetrating.
"When the Tianhan Dynasty was first established, after completely subduing the mainland and recovering the spirit, the Chen Tang army was sent to sweep away the extraterritorial barbarians, the prestige of the Chen Tang army was unstoppable, and it only took a few years to sweep away the extraterritorial barbarians, so that the Quartet was subdued, and Chen Tang was even more in the destruction of the strongest Huns in the four Yi at that time.
The boy was not in a hurry and first introduced the background of the story, but he was not very old, but his voice seemed to have experienced endless wind and frost, full of ancient charm!
The tavernkeeper's eyes lit up.
Good fellow, it is indeed an ancestral craft, and this opening knows that this is a young boy who can speak.
The tavern diners also listened to the young man's story at this time.
As soon as the Chen Tang army left, the Xiongnu, who were almost wiped out, united again and began to make trouble at the border pass, this is a general surnamed Geng who stood up."
The young man said, glancing at the tavern, and Captain Geng smiled.
As if sensing the young man's gaze, Captain Geng's drinking movement paused for a moment, and then continued as if nothing had happened.
"This Geng general is not ordinary, his surname is Geng Minggong, although he was born poor, but he is a righteous martial artist is even more extraordinary, in November of the seventy-fourth year of the Tianhan Dynasty, Liu Zhang, the commander of the cavalry, sent troops to attack the Che Division, and asked this Geng Gong General to serve as Sima, and Feng Che Du Lieutenant Dou Gu and Geng Gong's cousin Horse Captain Geng Bing defeated and made the Che Division surrender. The imperial court began to set up the capital guard and Wuji school captain at the border pass, and Geng Gong was appointed as the school captain of Wuji. ”
Tianhan is prosperous, and the people also know a little about the official position in the court, but few people know about its origin, and the wine customers including the tavern shopkeeper are the first time to hear about it.
The boy is young but knows such a history, and it seems that this book will not be too bad today.
The drinkers present ate side dishes and drank for a while.
The young man's charming voice also slowly circulated in the tavern:
"In the spring of the following year, Geng Gong led hundreds of people to garrison Jinpucheng in the rear country of the Cheshi, firmly stuck the throat of the Tianshan Mountains leading to the Xiongnu, and stationed in the Liuzhong City of the former country of the Cheshi as mutual aid, to prevent the Huns from invading the northern road of the Western Regions of our Tianhan Dynasty, but the Huns disturbed the peace of our Tianhan and did not die, and gathered 20,000 remnants to besiege Jinpu City."
When everyone heard this, they knew that after explaining for so long a day, the story had finally begun to get on the right track.
"However, how could my Tianhan soldiers be afraid of a group of barbarians outside the Saiwai, Geng Gong was not afraid of danger, and stood at the head of the city and shouted to the Hun army:"
The boy said here and suddenly changed his voice:
"The arrow god of the Han family, among them, there must be different sores."
Obviously a young man who has not yet been crowned, but he makes the voice of an iron-blooded man.
This skill is astonishing.
Even the hand of the shopkeeper, who had been sitting firmly at the counter, did not shake his hand.
"I'm a mother-in-law, this little brother still has this ability?"
A rough man with thick eyebrows and big eyes couldn't help but scream.
But the Confucian students at the next table, who had always disliked the noisy, did not open their mouths to scold this time.
It's nothing more than that, Zi said: This job should be rewarded!
If you block the curtain and can't see the figure of the young man, everyone will think that this is an iron-blooded man talking.
After shouting, the boy changed back to his original voice again:
"The meaning of this is to tell the other party, our Tianhan's arrows are not ordinary, once shot, life is worse than death, a group of Huns outside the Saiwai barbarians do not know my Tianhan Shenwei, naturally do not believe, continue to attack the city, to the range, the sky rains swords, the remnants of the Huns cry wolf howl."
The boy once again showed his skills to many drinkers, and for a time the shouts of the battlefield and the howls of the Hun soldiers echoed throughout the tavern.
"The Hun rout temporarily retreated, in the evening, the wounds of the Hun army after treatment suddenly began to fester, no matter how the witch doctor in the army suppressed can not be alleviated, for a time the screams resounded again throughout the Hun camp, and at this time, taking advantage of the night, Captain Geng Gong personally led hundreds of defenders to intercept the camp, the Huns rushed to kill crying father and mother, the Huns were defeated and left the camp."
"Good!"
The boy paused, and for a moment the drinkers in the tavern cheered.
They were all amazed by the divine power of Geng Gong in the story, and a glory flowing in their blood made their blood boil.
Even the eyes of Hu Shang outside the Saiwai show his obedience and yearning for Tianhan.
The boy sat on the high platform like this, taking in everyone's performances one by one.
The face with a faint smile can't help but attract good feelings.
The crowd cheered and stopped, knowing that the book could not be so short.
Sure enough, when the boy saw that the crowd had stopped cheering, he continued to tell:
Geng Gong received the news in advance, knowing that with his only 300 troops, he would never be able to hold Jinpu City, so he immediately brought the troops to a fortress built by the Han army, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the terrain was dangerous, and it was suitable for Shule City to be defended for a long time."
"Soon after arriving in Shule City, the combined forces of the Xiongnu and the Che Division led the army to surround it, and the combined forces of the Hun Che Division were 90,000 people, while the defenders of Shule City were less than 500 at that time."
The boy smiled at the drinkers, looking at the white teeth, and everyone was excited for no reason.
"The siege battle began, and the Xiongnu Chechi coalition army had an absolute advantage, but our Han army was brave and suffered countless casualties, but it couldn't capture the city. So they turned the attack into a long siege and cut off the upper reaches of the river, intending to die of thirst for our Han family's gods.
But the soldiers of our Han army have their own gods, Geng Gong ordered to dig a well to get water, and hit it to a depth of fifteen zhang, but still no water. Geng Gong scolded the land. ”
The teenager changed his voice again:
"I am the captain of the Tianhan Wuji, and I am trapped here today, and the land below is how I dare to cut off the water source of my Han army."
"The words are closed, the water on the ground is like a spring, and the soldiers who defend the city are all immortal."
"Okay, even the barbarians outside the fortress dare to attack my Tianhan, and even the land under our feet is afraid of our Han army god generals."
The blood boiled when a big man heard it, and he couldn't help but slap the table and shout.
"Xiao Er, give this little brother a bowl of good wine from the cellar, and put it on my account!"
A wealthy businessman even waved his hand and opened his mouth to the little two on the side.
"How can there be no vegetables if there is wine, after serving a few side dishes, the little brother moistens his throat and eats and talks."
Others in the hotel chimed in.
The boy smiled and greeted the high rollers.
After Xiao Er served a bowl of wine, he took a sip and moistened his throat, and continued:
"The trick of the Xiongnu chariot division coalition failed, so we could only continue to besiege the city, and then the news finally reached the court, but it was really when the Son of Heaven died, the new emperor was not established, and the matter of sending troops to rescue was separated."
The boy's tone became deeper and deeper.
"The defenders of Shule City have been besieged for several days and have run out of food, so they can only say that the strings made of animal tendons on the bows and crossbows and the leather on the armor have all been boiled and eaten, and the soldiers have died one by one, but the fortress has not fallen, and the banner of Tianhan is flying high. The Huns were also exhausted, and even tried in vain to recruit our Tianhan general.
Promising Geng Gong to be the king of their white house and rewarding beautiful wives and concubines, Geng Gong was furious and grabbed the messenger to the head of the city, cut off his head with a knife, and then roasted his flesh with fire and bit it and shouted to the city: "
"The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, what qualifications do you have to be crowned king in my Han territory."
"The Huns were so late that they fell to their knees and cried."
"This move, cut off the last illusion of the Huns, they frantically attacked the city, wanted to kill all the soldiers and people of Tianhan in my city, Geng Gong Shenwei, led the people to continue to defend the city, but the personnel were greatly reduced, and then the court finally elected a new emperor."
"In Luoyang, Emperor Zhang and the ministers had a fierce argument in the face of the rescue."
Once again, the boy demonstrated his miraculous abilities.
Several different sounds in a row change with different words:
"Your Majesty, the remnants of the Huns and the joint chariot division launched tens of thousands of troops to attack the Western Regions and besiege Shule City.
It was a loyal and powerful voice, and everyone speculated that it was a certain minister at the time.
"It's been a few months, why are you reporting now?"
It was a young voice, and from the conversation, everyone in the tavern guessed that it was the emperor at the time.
"Your Majesty, Geng Gong is brave, but there are a large number of Xiongnu coalition forces, so I implore Your Majesty to help."
The first voice came out again.
"Your Majesty, no."
At this time, a third voice came out:
"Lord Bao, you also know that there are no more than a thousand defenders in Shule City, and there will be only one general, Geng Gong, the captain of Wuji, who has resisted the Hun Che Division coalition army for more than half a month, how can anyone still exist?"
Blunt again changed an old voice came out:
"Your Majesty has just succeeded to the throne, and the foreign clan is already eyeing each other, and the state is not calm. The gains outweigh the losses. ”
The first voice to appear came out again:
"Shule City is the border of my Tianhan, and Geng Gongbu is defending the territory for my Han Dynasty, how can the imperial court abandon it?"
"Lord Bao, even if Geng Gong's troops still exist, sending troops from Yumen Pass, they also need to go through the Tianshan Mountains, and they will suffer from other barbarians along the way, and I am afraid that thousands of people will be lost along the way, and these soldiers are not defending the territory for my Tianhan, or defending the territory for my Tianhan? Aren't they my people? They also have parents, just for the hundreds of soldiers who may have become dry bones? Is it worth it? ”
After saying this, the young man was not in a hurry to speak.
The drinkers in the tavern were also moved, and the person who wanted to hate the minister for stopping the army was also in deep thought at this moment.
Yes, they knew from listening to the story that there were people in Shule City who were still alive and still fighting for the Tianhan, but at that time, the new emperor was succeeding to the throne, and their instincts were unstable, so was it really worth sending troops for a 300 people who might die in battle? Even a lot of shrewd businessmen don't understand this account!
