Chapter 11 The Destiny of Heaven

Zhangye, Liangzhou, next to a small lake outside Gaotai City, under the bright moonlight, hearing the sound of horses' hooves, Qiang King Wu Gutuo cautiously poked his head out of the hideout, and saw that it was Wu Yi Re, the general he sent to inquire about the news, Wu Gu Tuo breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly lifted the long grass covering his body, and went up to ask: "Wu Yi Fever, how is the situation in Gaotai City?" Has the Demon King's army arrived? ”

In the past ten days, the Wugutuo and his party who escaped by luck in Wuwei were like frightened birds, and the slightest movement was so frightened that their souls were not possessed, and they lived by killing horses and eating meat all the way, and they were all soldiers, and they were almost captured by Dong Zhuojun's pursuers several times, and there were only a dozen people left with more than 100 people, which can be said to be almost at the end of the road.

Wu Yire jumped off his horse, panted and said: "Tell the king, the vanguard of the demon king has not only reached the high platform, but even Zhangye has been controlled by the demon king's army. Now Gaotai City is full of portraits of you, and the Demon King's troops are still searching for you from house to house. ”

Wu Gutuo was like being struck by lightning, his eyes were dull, and he said after a while: "The high platform is over, and Zhangye is also finished, what should I do now?" Do you really want this king to go back to the tribe and hide? ”

Wu Yire's expression was strange, and he looked a little hideous in the moonlight, "It's useless, Demon King Dong has already sent an army to arrest all the tribal elders near Zhangye to Wuwei, and no tribe dares to take us in." ”

The last glimmer of hope was dashed, Wu Gutuo sat on the ground, hugged his head and cried: "It's all my fault, it's all blame that I didn't listen to my father's last words, I was deceived by Han Sui's Han dog, and I raised troops to fight against the army of Dong Demon King, and now I have put all of our Hanjin troops in." ”

A few Hanjing Qiang soldiers came to comfort Wugutuo, but Wuyi Re quietly retreated to the remaining Qiang soldiers of Wuyi and other small tribes, whispered something, and took a few people to quietly approach the Hanjing Qiang soldiers of Wugutuo, suddenly, Wuyi Re raised a knife and cut off the head of a Hanjing Qiang soldier, and several other Hanjing Qiang soldiers also screamed one after another, and their heads were in different places in an instant.

"No heat!" Taken aback, Uguto jumped up and shouted, "What do you want to do?" ”

Wu Yire waved his hand, and several people held knives to surround the black bone tuo, Wu Yire's expression was extremely hideous and terrifying, "Wu Gu Tuo, tell you the truth, you Hanjing Department raised troops to offend Dong Taishi, Dong Taishi has already said, this time only the Hanjing Department will be held responsible, as long as the Qiang people of other tribes hand over all the people of the Hanjing Department, they will not be investigated, and there will be a reward, the people of that tribe will kill you, and choose a person from that tribe to be the king of Qiang." ”

Wu Gutuo's face turned pale, and he slowly retreated, "Wu Yi fever, that's Dong Demon King deceiving people, Dong Demon King hates us Qiang people to the core, how can he forgive us?" Don't be deceived by the Demon King, wasn't Han Sui also killed by the Demon King Dong? ”

Wu Yi Reyin smiled and said: "Han Sui was killed by Taishi's righteous son, Dong Taishi has already made Han Sui's nine-year-old son a hereditary general, and his daughter has also been named Mrs. Xuan, can Dong Taishi be trustworthy without saying anything?" "Wu Yi Re swung his knife again, shook off the blood on the knife, "Let me tell you, I met the elders of our Wuyi Department in Gaotai City, and the elders told me that our Wu Yi Department has captured a lot of your Hanjing Department and dedicated it to Dong Taishi, Dong Taishi has rewarded half of your tribe's grassland to our Wuyi Department, and there is also a lot of gold, Dong Taishi personally promised that as long as the people of our tribe kill you, he will reward all the grasslands of your Hanjing Department to our Wuyi Department." The elder also said to me, as long as I kill you, the tribe will recommend me to Master Dong as the king of Qiang. ”

Wu Gutuo was sweating profusely, and shouted frantically: "Don't kill me, I will give you the position of King Qiang......" Before he finished shouting, the steel knife of Wuyi Hot had already ** his chest, and Wuyi Hot said coldly: "I still like the Qiang King sealed by Dong Taishi himself, and the position of the Qiang King is much more stable." ”

Cut off Wu Gutuo's head with a knife, Wu Yire picked up his head that had not closed his eyes, and laughed: "Go, enter the high platform, I can't imagine that I will become the king of Qiang one day, hahahaha......"

On August 21 of the second year of the Han Dynasty, the Qiang King Wugutuo was killed by the general Wuyi Re on the way to escape, and the head was dedicated to Dong Zhuo's army, and the Xiliang Battle ended with Dong Zhuo's army's complete victory. The first large part of the Qiang people, the Hanjing Division, was destroyed, and the other Qiang tribes were also greatly damaged, and they could no longer compete with the Han army in Liangzhou within ten years, and Dong Zhuojun's strategic goal of stabilizing the rear was successfully achieved.

On August 27 of the second year of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuofeng's son-in-law Niu Fu was the history of the Xiliang Thorn, guarding the Xiliang, the original Xiliang Thorn Shi Ma Teng was seriously injured, and the divine doctor Hua Tuo was also helpless, and died on the second day after the battle of Wuwei half a month ago, Ma Chao, Ma Dai and Ma Yunlu brothers and sisters were very sad, and since then Ma Teng's army has returned to Dong Zhuo. On August 28, Dong Zhuo named the Qiang people Wuyire as the king of Qiang, nominally commanding the Qiang tribes, and Wuyire also swore to the ancestral gods that he would obey the dispatch of Dong Taishi and never betray. However, there has been a deep enmity between the various tribes of the Qiang tribe, and he, the king of the Qiang, is only in name for the time being.

On the first day of September in the second year of the Han Dynasty, Kang Peng led Dong Zhuojun to return to Chang'an, in this battle, Dong Zhuojun scraped the ground three feet to the Qiang people in Liangzhou, captured more than 60,000 Qiang horses, nearly 100,000 cattle, more than 150,000 sheep, nearly 10,000 catties of gold, captured more than 100,000 Qiang people as slaves, incorporated 50,000 Ma Teng troops, and recruited 80,000 Liang soldiers in the west, which can be said to be a full return. At the same time, Dong Zhuojun's new troops were tempered, proving the role of new weapons on the battlefield and reshaping the myth of the invincibility of Xiliang Iron Cavalry in battle on the plains.

……

PS: I'm worried about the national issue, the Battle of Xiliang is written relatively briefly, and everyone doesn't want to see this book blocked, right?

……

October 11 of the second year of the Han Dynasty, this is a sunny day, Chang'an is very lively outside the city, the road is bustling with people on both sides, there are men and women of all ages, almost the whole city is dispatched, there are laughter and laughter everywhere, everyone is smiling, all of them are to welcome the people and soldiers of the Han Dynasty Dong Taishi who have returned triumphantly. The strange thing is that there are incense burners on both sides of the road, which are ten miles away, and there are many people who burn incense and kneel down to the case, and there are words in their mouths, as if they are not greeted by Dong Taishi, but by welcoming the gods and goddesses.

"It's coming, it's coming." A herald came running quickly, shouting as he ran, "Master Dong is back, Master Dong is back." When he ran there, the people there knelt down one after another, all the way from the ten-mile long pavilion to the west gate of Chang'an.

Kang Peng rode on the black horse and knelt down with the people who saw it, turned his head and said to Jia Xu unhappily: "What kind of reputation is this Li Ru?" Ben Xiang passed a letter to him before, telling him not to do anything to force the people to go out to welcome the whole city, so that the people could make a living. It's good now, even the incense and worship have come out, when the appearance is a god? ”

Jia Xu was also inexplicable, "Xianjia has always been cautious in doing things, it stands to reason that he won't be enthusiastic about this kind of face-saving thing, is there something else to hide?" ”

At this moment, an earth-shattering shout suddenly erupted among the people in front, "The Taishi is destined to return!" Dominate Kyushu! For the benefit of the people! One after another, occasionally mixed with the shouts of "Long live the Taishi, long live, long live" and "Taishi Immortal descends to earth".

Kang Peng was even more inexplicable, and said in his heart what kind of immortal am I? How did I not know? Jia Xu and the generals also looked at each other, all surprised. Suddenly, a Confucian scholar came up, holding a roll of bamboo Khmer, knelt down and opened it without saying a word, and read it aloud. Our Lady dreams of swallowing gold and crows at night, and Guangwu Long Xingcheng becomes a great unification...... "A lot of classical Chinese made Kang Peng's head dizzy, and he couldn't understand anything, but he only probably knew that he was patting his own ass.

"Wait." Kang Peng interrupted him, "What do you mean by reading this?" I don't understand the appearance, I speak the vernacular. Kang Peng recognized him as a sour Confucian recruited by himself on the recruitment list, the most pedantic, but he was upright, not the kind of person who was a sycophant. Before sending troops this time, he also ran to himself and nagged him, asking him to convince people with virtue, not to use swords and soldiers, and he should not be a sycophant to win the battle.

The Confucian raised his head and explained: "Returning to Taishi, this means that when Han Gaozu raised his army, he killed a white snake and was the son of the White Emperor, because Gaozu was the son of the Red Emperor, so the White Emperor did not dare to worry about Gaozu, and Gaozu later became the emperor." And on the first night of Emperor Wu of Han's birth, his mother dreamed of swallowing the sun......"

Kang Peng was even more dizzy, and interrupted him again: "I know all these things you said, and I am asking, what is the praise of the essence in your article?" What is there to praise about this appearance? ”

The Confucian student was very stubborn, "Taishi, you will know after listening to Xiaosheng." Then he opened and read: "Demeng escaped, Wei Ling descended, and Pi He was powerful." As the sun rises, the wings assist, spit out the old and accept the new, Wanrui Baixiang, and the harvest is not abundant......"

Kang Peng shook his head and rode his horse forward, but every few steps he took, there were people burning incense as a gesture, kowtowing more than once, and the smoke from the dense incense burning shrouded his whole body in a hazy haze, and from a distance it looked like stepping on the clouds, and he really looked like a fairy.

Finally, a person shouted out such a sentence, which solved Kang Peng's doubts, and shouted, "The destiny of the Taishi is returned!" God gives God Fruit God Rice to Taishi, we don't have to worry about starvation in the future. ”

Kang Peng was surprised and delighted, jumped off the horse and picked up the man, "Tu ......, what is the yield per mu of divine fruit and divine rice?" ”

The man was startled at first, and then laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, "Tell the master, the divine fruit that God gave you is more than 2,000 catties per acre, the divine rice is more than 1,000 catties, and the divine melon is even more incredible, it is more than 3,800 catties!" Taishi, you are really a god. ”

A person next to him interjected: "Nonsense, there is an acre of land god gourd that I have personally weighed, and there are 4,168 catties!" I also took a bite of the god melon, which was sweeter than honey and delicious. ”

Kang Peng laughed and patted their heads, "Don't fight, Benxiang will send you the seeds of the Divine Fruit Divine Melon, and the Divine Rice next year, so that you will never have to starve in the future." Kang Peng turned to the other people, "People of the Han Dynasty, don't worry, Benxiang will definitely send the seeds to you next year, so that the people of Chang'an, and all the people in the world, will no longer have to starve." ”

The people were overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Kang Peng, and shouted excitedly: "The destiny of the Taishi returns, long live the Taishi, long live, long live, long live!" Long live the Taishi, long live, long live! ”

At this time, Li Ru, Sima Lang and Gao Shun came up, Li Ru was holding two potatoes weighing more than one pound in his hands, Sima Lang was holding two corn cobs more than a foot long, and Gao Shun was holding a pumpkin with a car **, all of them were so excited that they burst into tears. Li Ru muttered: "Father-in-law, the divine fruit and divine rice that you have been thinking about have been planted, and the yield per mu is thousands of catties, and we have a bumper harvest this year, and no matter how many people there are in the future, we can let them eat enough." ”

Kang Peng wiped the tears flowing from the corners of his eyes, and said in his heart, after the food level, I can't get my hands on this world, and I don't have to mix it!

Kang Peng's high-yield grain has been grown, but will the princes outside the Guanwai sit back and watch him develop and grow? See the next chapter.
