Fan Qiang gasped and said in a lost voice: "Brother, I don't know how wide this ditch is, I can't see the other side clearly!" I don't know if it's water or rock at the bottom of the ditch! ”

"Brother Qiang, do you dare to leap into the horse?"

Fan Qiang was shocked and said, "Brother, is there still a life for such a jump?" The eldest husband died a well-deserved death, and if he died at the bottom of the ditch for no reason, it was not worth it. ”

Geng Gong sighed: "Brother Qiang, this time I went deep into Xiqiang, and it was supposed to be nine deaths. It is this ravine that can save us! ”

Fan Qiang was puzzled: "Can the ravine save us?" ”

Geng Gong didn't say a word, turned over and dismounted, looked at it a few times, jumped on the horse again, and said: "Put it to death, you have the rest of your life, Brother Qiang, you come with me!" After speaking, he took the reins of the horse, stepped back a few feet, waved his whip, and whipped it hard on the horse's buttocks, and shouted: "Horse, don't mistake me! The horse snorted and roared, and leaped out, and jumped into the ditch like a cloud!

Fan Qiang was horrified, and shouted: "Brother, brother, ......" but there was no response, he couldn't help but be grief-stricken, and was about to cry, when Geng Gong's voice came from there: "Brother Qiang, I've come over, you can also come over!" ”

Fan Qiang was not afraid, he learned from Geng Gong, and even jumped over, and saw Geng Gong sitting on the horse, full of concern, and was greatly moved, and said, "Brother, let's come over!" ”

Geng Gong sighed: "This Dawan's horse is really majestic, I can't help Emperor Wu not hesitate to go to war for this horse!" If all of my Han soldiers have this horse, why worry about the unevenness? It turned out that he and Fan Qiang's horses were given by Dawan Kingdom when they attacked Wusun. This horse followed the Han soldiers, went through the wind and snow, endured hunger and thirst, and actually survived. After returning to Luoyang, Geng Gong took care of it carefully, and this horse was better at running than before.

After crossing the ravine, the two of them rode their horses like a wind, and in less than half an hour, they had reached Miwu's camp. The Qiang soldiers were shocked and hurriedly told Mi Wu. Mi Wu brought Yao Guo and the rest of the Qiang tribal leaders to greet him.

Mi Wu stepped forward and said with great joy: "General Geng is so bold that he went to Qiang alone, just by virtue of this, no one in the world can match, respectable and respectable!" With that, he lifted the white stone high and got down on one knee. It turns out that this is the most solemn etiquette of the ancient Qiang people, which means respect, obedience, and worship, and is rarely used.

Geng Gong hurriedly picked him up and said: "The Qiang people are hardworking, kind, and have lived with my Han people for many years, and they have always been very friendly. How can you bear this great gift? Geng Gong looked at Yao Guo again and praised: "This is the general's heroic spirit and extraordinary instruments, it must be Yao Guo, the handsome man on the left." Qu Shuai has such a good general, why worry about the Qiang tribe not prospering! ”

Yao Guo's face was happy, and he arched his hand and said: "The general of the defeated army is not brave enough!" The rest of the Qiang clan leaders were unhappy, Geng Gong was slightly surprised, but he didn't take it to heart. I love eBooks

Mi Wu took Geng Gong's hand and said, "Since the general is here, first go to Xiqiang for a walk, take a look, and then go to the camp to drink and have fun!" ”

At that moment, Geng Gong and Fan Qiang followed Mi Wu and walked towards the tribe. See that although the watchtowers are lined up, very imposing, but under the watchtowers, it is a thatched house that is one by one, broken everywhere, the wind is ragingly in and out of the house, blowing the thatched grass flying. Fan Qiang was very strange, and said in a mystery: "Xiqiang is attached to the Han Dynasty and is very obedient, but Longxi guards Zhang Xu, often rams in, robs money and destroys houses, and the Qiang people have almost no place to live!" ”

Geng Gong was silent, his expression was sad, and Mi Wu was silent. The Qiang people came out of the hut and were very happy when they saw Miwu, holding hands and surrounding Miwu, singing and dancing. Migo put his palms together, put them to his mouth, and jumped up. Those Qiang people, although their faces are yellow, hungry and thin, and their clothes are not neat, they are all happy. Yao Guo said hatefully: "General Geng, if the Han soldiers don't invade my Xiqiang, how can the Qiang people be so sad?" He pointed to a huge white stone in the distance and said: "My Qiang people have always regarded the white stone as a god, but the Han soldiers insulted them in every way, and urinated on them. ”

Geng Gong let out a long sigh and lowered his head. At this time, Mi Wu came over and said, "Yao Guo, what did you do to General Geng?" ”

Geng Gong said softly: "I didn't do anything. ”

Mi Wu looked at the Qiang people and said loudly: "Compatriots, this is a great hero and great warrior of the Han Dynasty, come and have a look!" ”

Yiqiang people said: "The Han people are like animals to us Qiang people!" What heroes do the Han people have who dare to show off their might on the soil of our Xiqiang? ”

Another Qiang people said angrily: "Exactly, the Han people killed us, and we will also kill the Han people!" ”

At this time, the Qiang people were violent, surrounded them, and wanted to beat Geng Gong. Mi Wu raised his hand and said, "He is Geng Gong!" With 300 soldiers, 100,000 Huns alone, no water and no food, few soldiers, and more than a year of holding on to Shule! Brave and strategic, defeated our Qiang army in a row, is such a person a big hero? ”

When Qiang Min heard this, he was immediately shocked, and they all looked at Geng Gong. It turned out that Geng Gong and Ban Chao had become famous early, and everyone knew it, and the Qiang people admired it very much, and they all wanted to see it, but after all, they were the generals of the enemy army, not to mention that Geng Gong killed and retreated the Qiang army several times, and the Qiang people of course had hatred, and they were silent one by one. Geng Gong sighed: "What kind of hero am I? My Han owes a lot of Qiang soldiers, this time I will return to the dynasty, I will definitely ask the emperor, abolish the harsh government, and issue new rules, the Qiang people are the same as the Han people, they are the emperor's people! ”

At this time, the Qiang people suddenly dispersed, and a group of Qiang people with dirty faces supported each other, Geng Gong and Fan Qiang were shocked, it turned out that the group of Qiang people were all mutilated, either without legs or arms...... One of the old men, on crutches, stumbled forward, and struck Geng Gong on the head with his crutches, Fan Qiang was furious, drew his sword from the ground, blocked the crutches, and shouted: "What do you want to do!" ”

Before the old man could answer, Geng Gong narrowed his eyes and said, "Brother Qiang, step aside!" I have a lot of Qiang people, if I can turn a sword and bow into jade silk, Hugh said to hit twice, even if I stab a few holes in my chest, I am willing! After speaking, Geng Gong tore off his clothes with both hands, revealing his firm chest.

The old man was stunned, his eyes were full of tears, and the crutches he raised couldn't be beaten. Fan Qiang withdrew his sword and stepped aside, but his eyes were staring at the old man without blinking, for fear that he would make a move. Geng Gong was very honest and not defensive at all. Mi Wu and the others couldn't help but secretly admire. The old man raised his cane and suddenly slashed down, Fan Qiang exclaimed, but Geng Gong remained motionless and looked at the old man quietly. Seeing that the crutch was about to hit Geng Gong's head, the crutch was slightly off, slammed, hit the ground, smashed a small pit, and raised dust, the old man sighed: "Geng Gong, you are a hero, I admire you!" Although I have a broken leg, I still have three sons, the Han Dynasty oppressed the Qiang people like this, my three sons can avenge me on the battlefield! The old man turned around, leaned on crutches, and limped away, his back very desolate.
