East side of Luanshui. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The wind outside the Guanguan is always more fierce than that inside the Guan, so that these Xi people who live here all the year round always have two red balls on their faces, and even Han people who have never been here in the Central Plains can tell at a glance where they come from.

Legend Xi nationality originated from the Yellow Emperor twelve surnames in the establishment of the Xi country, at first to hunting, through the Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, since the Sui and Tang dynasties, its people imitate the Han land, to this day farming, animal husbandry has already occupied most of its source of life, is located in the Guanwai Tibetan land, but the living habits have long been no different from the Tang Dynasty, and its grain and grass compared with the Khitan, the Murwei departments are also the most sufficient, and even in the west side of Luanshui in the Ahui Department established the largest granary of the Xi nationality five departments, Luancang.

Therefore, looking at the four feudatories outside the Guanwai, the Bohai State is the richest, with both wealth and grain; Although the Xi people are poor, they have abundant grain and grass, and they have no money and food; Murowei is a little worse, but he can live without worrying about guarding the treasure land outside the Guan, Kulunbo; The Khitan people basically relied on robbery, and this also created the fierce and ferocious nature of the Khitan people.

As the leader of the Ahui Department, the Kedu not only shoulders the safety of the tribe, but also guards the lifeblood of the entire Xi tribe, Luancang.

As the largest granary of the Xi people, Luancang was valued by successive Xi kings, so that the entire Ahui Department was greatly favored by the existence of Luancang, and the current Xi King Yu Shelang did not hesitate to send the most elite warriors and sharpest weapons of the tribe to here, and accepted the unified jurisdiction of the Kedu.

Since his successor to the Ahui Ministry, the Khitans have tried to seize Luancang nearly 100 times, and none of them have succeeded in their bravery and bravery, and under the leadership of the Kedu, thousands of Khitans who have committed several future crimes have been slaughtered, and how many Khitan generals have become the souls of the Khitans, including the former leader of the Diera tribe, Yeluyun Deshi, and this person is the father of Jeruzara. It is precisely because of this that Jeruzara has an indelible hatred for the Xi people.

It can also be seen that the strength of Luancang is the courage of those who can be measured.

The cold wind blew, and the flags outside the tent were hunting with the sound of whistling, and there was nothing but the footsteps of the soldiers on the routine night patrol, and everything was as usual.

Despite this, there was some uneasiness in the heart of the Kedu, and even this uneasiness was mixed with a little fear, but the Kedu had never felt like this, as if there was a pair of greedy eyes watching him somewhere in the unknown, and his every move was exposed to these eyes.

I saw that Kedu grabbed the scimitar casually, slowly got up and lifted the tent and walked straight in the direction of Luancang, this was the fifth time he had inspected Luancang tonight, and several guards behind him were also surprised by this, although Kedu didn't say a word, but they could feel the kind of uneasiness in the air, uneasiness for no reason.

The Kedu walked on the road with a solemn expression, his eyes swept over the soldiers standing on the sides from time to time, they were standing in the position where they should have stood, and the Kedu also remembered where each soldier should stand, and he could even call the name of each soldier here, and recognize the face of each soldier.

Everything was normal, and even because of the unusual behavior of the Kedu tonight, the soldiers were much more vigilant than ever.

The Kordu nodded slowly to the soldiers in approval as he walked, but even that didn't calm his restless heart.

Ascending the huge rammed earth wall of Luancang, the Luanshui flows slowly on the opposite side, which is the widest place in Luanshui, and because of this, the water depth here is shallow, the water flow is also the gentleest, and it is also the place where the river is least likely to burst. Backed by a water source, heavily guarded, and a rammed earth wall comparable to the Tang City, as the Kedu once said: If you attack Luancang, you can't do it without a million soldiers!

Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, after all, if there are really millions of soldiers, let alone a small Luancang, even the entire Xi clan and even the four feudatories will have no power to resist. However, it can be seen that the people who can do it are confident in the defense of Luancang.

However, tonight, the self-confident Kedu actually felt uneasy, although he knew in his heart that it was impossible for even 10,000 enemies to come to attack Luancang at this moment, and the Khitans would not come to attack Luancang at this time, after all, now that the four clans outside the Guanwai had already reached an alliance, there was an alliance, so how could the Khitans come to attack Luancang at this time?

"I heard that ......" Kedu raised the scimitar in his hand and pointed at the other side of Luanshui, and said slowly: "That Tang cavalry is still missing?" ”

"The Khitans have sent nearly 10,000 people, and they have searched for seven or eight days without finding anything!" A guard behind him answered.

Kedu nodded and said, "There are many mountains and forests here, and there is no way for thousands of people in Tibet to search for them!" Now, as long as the Khitans send troops to garrison around this forest, they will definitely starve to death if they are not sleepy! Don't worry! ”

"Then ......," the guard said again.

"Say!" But the one didn't look back, and shouted in a deep voice.

"Then will they come to attack Luancang? After all, they can go straight to this place after crossing the Luanshui! The guard spoke in a small voice, for he knew the confidence of the Kedu in the defense of Luancang.

Hearing this, the Kedu slowly turned around and stared intently at the guard, his eyes suddenly flashing with fierceness, and the guard stood tremblingly in place, waiting for the impending storm.

However, the expected storm did not seem to have arrived, and a smile of approval gradually appeared on his face as he reached out and stroked his beard.

"You can think that this is not in vain for ten years with Ben Khan, but don't forget, that Tang cavalry is only a few thousand people, when the Khitans brought 30,000 troops to attack our Luancang, they all returned in vain in front of Ben Khan, and now there are thousands of Tang troops who are afraid? Besides......" the Acceptable One asked.

Saying this, Kedu paused slightly, and then turned his body again, "Besides, if they don't come, if they really dare to attack Luancang without their own strength, Ben Khan will definitely throw these thousands of heads outside Danzhou City!" Datang ...... Hehe, it's no longer the ferocious tiger anymore! ”

Kedu's gaze stayed in the darkness on the other side of the river, and a sneer appeared on his face.

However, it never occurred to him that as far as his gaze could reach, in the darkness that could not be seen, there was the same pair of eyes staring at him, like a long-starving wolf, greedily and ferociously staring at his prey.
