"The tribes here have sent men?"

The bald Khotan grasped the point with great acuteness, and a look of disappointment appeared on his face.

"In this way, this is only a big war, and I don't know when the road will be clear."

The leader of the Xiaoyuehu clan also seemed to be somewhat sympathetic to the other party.

In half-baked Chinese, he suggested: "From here to the north, you can also go to the place of the Han people, maybe you can exchange for what you want." ”

The bald Khotan thanked the other party for their guidance and left with the people.

The leader looked at the young man's somewhat lonely back, smacked his lips, and shook his head.

This young man, who seemed to be very ambitious, should have heard others say that Longyou had precious wool, so he rushed down from the high mountains in the west to trade.

Maybe he sold all the cattle and sheep in the clan, so that he could save enough things.

If you come for nothing, I'm afraid that the clan won't be able to survive, and it won't be swallowed up by others.

The bald Khotan stood before dark and led the men back to the camp, and the people behind him had already followed.

After resting for the night, the sky was just dawning, and all the bald youths were already on their horses.

Although the weather was very cold, the breath of everyone was white, and the cold wind blew on their faces and hands like a biting bone.

But for the bald tribe who migrated thousands of miles and froze to death and starved to death, this is not a difficulty.

Four thousand elite horsemen are already the entire combat power of the bald department.

They were divided into three lanes, with 1,000 men on each of the left and right lanes to outflank them, preventing the tribes in front from escaping, and at the same time cooperating with the flanking attack in the middle.

Two thousand people all the way in the middle are the main force of the charge.

The bald Khotan led the people and ordered loudly: "Go!" ”

The hooves thundered, and the iron knight split into three and began to gallop forward.

The tent of the Xiaoyuehu tribe began to appear in front of him.

In this weather, no one wakes up early, except for the barking of dogs.

Even if it is a sheep slave, it is in the sheepfold, holding the sheep for warmth.

The faint vibration of the ground finally made a sheep slave who had been frozen and couldn't sleep all night feel a little wrong.

The dogs outside began to bark, and then the dogs of the whole tribe followed suit.

Then someone was cursing, as if they had been awakened by the sound of a dog barking, and wanted to get up and let go of the water in their bodies.

Finally, a terrible cry came.

The black-pressed line began to appear outside the tribe, and the shaking of the ground became more and more obvious.

Although it was not yet full of light, just by listening to the sound, it was the voice of a large number of cavalry.

Xiao Yuehu's tribal camp was noisy, and many people didn't know what was going on, so they ran out of the camp to see what was going on.

But the bald cavalry had already rushed in front of them, and they did not have the slightest intention of stopping, and rushed directly into the camp.

The leader of the Xiaoyuehu clan walked out of the house in disheveled clothes, and before he could see the situation clearly, a tall black shadow rushed in front of him.

Then he felt himself flying high and overlooking the whole camp.

Countless cavalry rushed through the tents on the outskirts and came to the mud houses.

Many people began to dismount, kicked open the door with their weapons, and broke in.

Most of the tribes sent to Didao had no way to resist this unknown enemy, and could only let them wreak havoc everywhere.

Then a head fell to the ground......

The long knife in the bald Khotan's hand was bloody, which was given to him by Feng Langjun personally when he had a white horse alliance with Feng Langjun a few years ago.

It's sharp, it's easy to use, it's a rare treasure.

He has always cherished it and regarded it as a treasure.

The sun rises and the fog lifts.

Entering the beginning of spring, the ice and snow have begun to show signs of melting, coupled with the spilling of hot blood, and the trampling of horses' hooves back and forth, the ground in the camp of the Xiaoyuehu tribe is a little muddy.

The bald department was cheering.

Batches of cattle and sheep, thousands of women, and food hidden in the house were enough for them to enjoy for a long time.

What's more, this tribe doesn't have many young people at all, so they have little resistance to their surprise attack.

The bald man was smiling on his weather-beaten face.

I saw him say to the bald Khotan: "Tu Gu, your suggestion is right, as long as we loot a few more such tribes, we don't have to worry about not having enough grain and cattle and sheep to eat this year." ”

The bald Khotan's face was also uncontrollable with excitement: "My lord, I have already asked, most of the tribes here have sent people to besiege Di Dao. ”

"It is now the city of the Wei people, and they will not have time to come back at this time. So we had plenty of time to continue north, looting the sturdy beards that had no strong protection. ”

"By the time the Zahu from Di Dao comes back, we will already drive their cattle, sheep and women away."

When the person next to him heard this, he couldn't help but say, "Young Commander, why don't we just defeat them and then graze here?" ”

The bald Khotan shook his head and said, "Our bald department is not strong enough now. I heard that there were more than 30,000 Zahu besieging Di Dao, and we only had 4,000 people, so we couldn't defeat them. ”

The bald Pi Gu said thoughtfully: "Now they are only uniting for a while, and when they fail to attack Di Dao, they will naturally disperse." ”

"When the time comes, we might be able to try to defeat them one by one."

Bald Khotan's eyes lit up: "My lord has a point, so we need to continue to wait for the opportunity." ”

"What if Di Dao is captured?"

Another possibility has been raised.

"That's okay too." The bald Khotan said confidently, "Even if Zahu can occupy Di Dao, it will only take advantage of the opportunity for the Wei and Han people to fight." ”

"The right side of Longyou has been occupied by the Han people, I happen to know a noble person of the Han people, and I will go to the east to inquire when the time comes."

"According to the Han people's previous practice, it is absolutely impossible for them to let Zahu occupy the city. When the time comes, we can promise to help, and maybe we can take advantage of it. ”

Bald Pi Gu naturally knew who the nobleman was talking about.

At the moment, he said with some worry: "You and that Feng Langjun haven't seen each other for several years, how can you go to him?" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, that Feng Langjun once told me that if he can't be found in Fuxian County, then go to Hanzhong Nanxiang, if Hanzhong Nanxiang can't find him, then go to Fengzhuang in Jincheng."

"When the time comes, I only need to go to those places to inquire, and I will naturally know his whereabouts."

The main leaders of the bald department finished discussing, and at the same time assigned people to go to the east, paying attention to the return of the main force of Di Dao Zahu, and then dispersed.

In a few moments, the exclamations of women could be heard in their tents.

Longxi Han and the Qianghu in the Heguan region united and besieged Di Dao, initially to loot some food and property.

In the end, seeing that the momentum was getting louder, the Wei people had no intention of sending reinforcements, so some people put forward slogans to re-establish the king of the Han Dynasty.

Just as they were becoming more and more bold, a certain Lang Jun surnamed Feng in the east was already preparing to bypass Taoshui and raid their lair after the beginning of spring.

Before he could act, the bald department had already crossed the river and rushed directly into the area of Longxihan, burning, killing and looting.

The Qianghu tribe, whose strength is all concentrated in Didao, is like a lamb that has been skinned, enjoying the delicious food with its bald hair.

Contrary to the excited bald department, in a small courtyard in Guzang County, Wuwei County, Liangzhou, the atmosphere was a little depressing.

Liangzhou Taishou Xu Miao hurriedly walked past the vestibule and entered the inner courtyard.

Led by a servant, enter a room.

The room was filled with the strong smell of medicinal soup.

I saw a person lying on the couch, it was Hao Zhao.

"Bo Dao! Bodao, what's wrong with you? ”

Xu Miao hurriedly stepped forward, bent down, and asked in a low voice.

Hao Zhao, who was lying on the couch, heard someone calling, opened his eyes with difficulty, and looked at Xu Miao with a somewhat dull gaze.

I saw that his face was pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and his lips were cracked due to long-term dryness.

"It's Xu Tingshi......"

Hao Zhao's lips moved.

"How so? How could you suddenly become sick like this? ”

Xu Miao saw him like this, and said urgently.

A few days ago, news came from Xiping, saying that Hao Zhao was sick and wanted to go to Wuwei to recuperate, but within a few days, he became seriously ill.

It really caught Xu Miao off guard.

"Now that Shu is strong, Qianghu is moving, Liangzhou is uneasy, the general has been in Hexi for a long time, I just need the general's help, why did the general suddenly fall?"

Xu Miao held Hao Zhao's hand and said sadly.

Hao Zhao coughed a few times with difficulty: "Life is unknowable, and the number is unpredictable." A certain general for a long time, knowing that it will be difficult to do. ”

"A town in Hexi for more than ten years, repeatedly suppressed chaos, although it is a state affair, but the number of wrongful killings is also innumerable. Not to mention digging the tomb several times and using its wood as an offensive weapon. ”

"Last year, I led the children of Liangzhou to go on the expedition, but because of a certain mistake, only four or five out of ten people came back, and I really felt guilty in my heart."

"These days, I often dream of unjust souls asking for their lives, which is probably the retribution of what I have done in the past."

When Xu Miao heard this, he hurriedly comforted: "Bo Dao don't want to have such thoughts, I will go to someone to find a good doctor, even if I search all over Liangzhou, I will cure your illness." ”

Hao Zhao smiled bitterly: "I know that my life is about to end, and there is no need to waste manpower and financial resources in the history of assassination." Now Liangzhou is uneasy, and the person who should pay attention to the assassination history is Shu in the east. ”

"If you burden the affairs of the state with a certain person who is about to die, even if you go underground, it will be uneasy."

Speaking of this, Hao Zhao seemed to have regained some strength, and his face also had a glow: "Now that Liangzhou is cut off from China, the Ming Duke should think of recovering China by chasing Shu and capturing China." ”

"Otherwise, the longer the time passes, the Shu people will be watching, and the Hu people will also have a chaotic heart, but I am afraid that Liangzhou will not last long."

Xu Miao saw Hao Zhao like this, so he had to follow his words.

"I know it! It's just that I've only been in Liangzhou for a year, and everything is unknown. Bodao has been guarding Hexi for more than ten years, I don't know if there is anything to teach me? ”

"Ming Gong has been to Liangzhou, opened canals, cultivated water, collected the hearts of the people, served Qiang Hu, and had his own measures, what can he do, dare to teach Ming Gong? What can be mentioned is just a little foolishness. ”

"Bodao, please speak."

Hao Zhao became more and more energetic: "Ming Gong, Shu Yu wants to enter Liangzhou, but there are only two ways. One is from Nan'an to Yuzhong, and the other is to enter Jincheng and Xiping through Didao. ”

"How difficult is it to fight the Shu people with a state? In addition to contacting Guanzhong in the east, so that the Shu people could not easily move the country westward, they also had to borrow the power of Qianghu. ”

"Longxi Qiang is in turmoil, I have not sent troops to quell the rebellion, one is that Liangzhou is not strong enough, and the other is to use Qianghu as a barrier to prevent Shu Lu from entering Liangzhou by Di Road."

Hao Zhao said, his eyes began to shine: "As long as Qiang Hu breaks off Di Dao, Shu Yu must first calm the chaos before he can come from there." ”

"So after me, the Duke of Ming can order the Jincheng guards to just guard Jincheng Xiping, and don't easily enter Longxi. If Shu Lu dares to enter Di Dao easily, we will wait for the opportunity to attack it. ”

Xu Miao listened, nodded and said, "I wrote it down." It's just that in addition to Bodao, there are people available in Liangzhou? ”

"There are many generals in Liangzhou, as long as Ming Gong pays more attention, how can he not find someone who can be used?"

Hao Zhao replied, "General Lu Pan, last year, he was beheaded with a certain Ying, and Duke Ming could order him to guard Xiping." Zhang Gong, the captain of Wuji in the Western Regions, his son Zhang Jin, and his younger brother Zhang Hua are all famous in Xizhou. ”

"Now that there is a great enemy in the east, and it can't be China, the Ming Duke can rush to the power and transfer it back to the east to prevent Shu from being captured."

Xu Miao was overjoyed: "If Bodao doesn't mention Zhang Gong, I will forget that there are still loyal martyrs in Xizhou." ”

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the right side of the river was disturbed, and it was never passed. Dunhuang Taishou Ma Ai died in office, and there was no county in the house. Zhang Gongnai is a meritorious Cao, known as a scholar, and the county people promote long history.

Zhang Gongnai sent his son Zhang to the east to meet Emperor Wu, and wanted to ask Emperor Wu to send the new Taishou to Dunhuang to take office.

Shi Xiping County Yan, Jiuquan County Huang Hua, and Zhangye County Zhang Jin rebelled and tried to unite with Dunhuang County, so Huang Hua moved Zhang Zhu halfway to force the Zhang family father and son to submit.

Zhang swore to die, but made people secretly believe Zhang Gong:

The adult governs Dunhuang County, the heart of loyalty and righteousness, and shows the world, how can he change his original intention because his son is in a difficult situation?

Now that the imperial army will soon arrive here, the lord should lead his troops to contain Huang Hua from behind.

I hope that the father will not miss the state affairs because of such a little love for his son, which will only make his son hate Huangquan.

After Zhang Gong received Zhang Zhuo's letter, he immediately dispatched his younger brother Zhang Hua to attack Jiuquan Shatou and Qianqi counties.

He personally led the army to follow him.

In addition, 200 ironclad cavalry and subordinate officers of Dunhuang were sent along the north of Jiuquan and out of the Zhangye Beihe River to the east to welcome the new county guard.

Zhang Jin of Zhangye was attacked by Hao Zhao and others, Jiuquan Huanghua tried to rescue, and he was afraid that Zhang Gong's troops in the west would attack the rear road, so he had to surrender under the dilemma.

Zhang was spared his life because of this.

The three members of the Zhang family were all rewarded.

Hao Zhao cooperated with Zhang Gong on both sides and quelled the rebellion in the three counties of Liangzhou, so he was deeply impressed by the three members of the Zhang family.

Xu Miao remembered this old incident, so he said that the Zhang family was a loyal martyr family in Xizhou.

"It's just Bodao, Zhang's family is a wealthy family in Dunhuang County, when Emperor Wen recruited Zhang Gong into the court, awarded the position of a courtier, Zhang Gong resigned due to illness and stayed in Dunhuang."

Xu Miao said something, "This is the inherent style of Liangzhou people, but I don't know if they can really be entrusted with important tasks?" ”

Hao Zhao let out a long sigh: "Ming Gong, now Liangzhou is in danger. If Shu invades the west, Liangzhou will suffer from war. ”

"And now in China, the Great Wei is orthodox, and the Shu people are just captives, how can Zhang Gong not understand this?"

"At that time, the Duke of Ming will add Chen to the advantage, Shu Lu is just the eleventh of the Great Wei, and in the future, the million army of Kanto will definitely sweep through the Shu Lu of Longyou and reunite Liangzhou."

"I think Zhang Jiazi will know how to choose."
