Chapter 186: Princess Wusun
At this time, the sound of thunderous horses' hooves was heard in the distance, but it was the sound of a large group of cavalry running.
The men in black turned their heads to look, but saw smoke and dust rising in the distance, and a large group of cavalry was driving towards here, their eyes full of crimson.
When the man in black saw someone coming, he hurriedly stopped attacking and wanted to turn around and escape.
Ma Chao made a whistle, and then raised his right hand and made a gesture of encirclement.
It turned out that Ma Chao's reconnaissance battalion had arrived, and they were all one person and three horsemen, so five or six hundred people, but they rode nearly two thousand horses.
Seeing Ma Chao's gesture, the officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion hurriedly dispersed their formations and surrounded these black-clothed men from a distance.
At the beginning, these black-clothed men were desperately trying to break through, but with five hundred sets of repeating crossbows, how could hundreds of them rush out?
After hanging up dozens of companions, the remaining more than 200 men in black wisely chose to surrender and honestly dismount and disarm.
Ma Chao didn't care how his subordinates cleaned up the battlefield and counted the prisoners, and urged the horses to come to the front of the convoy by himself.
The girl in red scolded a few words in a language that Ma Chao didn't understand, and the people in the convoy hurriedly began to treat each other's wounded and bandage their wounds, and those young and strong men also put away their weapons and retreated into the convoy.
Getting closer, Ma Chao could also see that most of the people in the convoy were Hu people with high noses and deep eyes, and some of them looked like Huns and Han Chinese.
And the girl in red put away the long whip, came to Ma Chao's horse, jumped off the war horse, and performed a Han court gift.
Ma Chao jumped off the BMW in a hurry, wanting to support the girl, and suddenly thought of the appearance of men and women who are not kissed, and they are timid, which makes the girl laugh!
She straightened up herself, and said to Ma Chao in standard Luoyang official dialect: "Thank you for this noble general's help, are you the army of the Han Dynasty?" Was it the garrison of Dunhuang or the garrison of Liangzhou? ”
Ma Chao then remembered the face guard on his helmet, and he lifted the face guard, revealing his handsome and sunny face.
The girl in red didn't expect the Han army general under the face protection to be so handsome and so young, her heart beat faster, and Hongxia climbed up her cheeks.
She lowered her head and didn't dare to look directly at Ma Chao, but she forgot that she was veiled, who could see her blushing?
Ma Chao looked at the girl who lowered her head, and hurriedly told her softly that she was the army of the Han Dynasty and the Liangzhou Legion of the Central Army.
was about to be ordered to enter Dunhuang, and happened to pass by, so he rescued her, and took the initiative to tell the girl his name.
The girl said in her beautiful voice: "It turned out to be General Ma Chao, we are envoys from Wusun Kingdom, I am the eldest princess of Wusun Kingdom, Suguang, on the fatal envoy of my father, asking for help, the hateful Xianbei people are invading our beautiful homeland." ”
She paused slightly, looked at Ma Chao, and continued: "The royal family of our branch has the blood of the princess of the Han Dynasty. Although it has been cut off from the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, it still has a heart for the Han Dynasty, and Han has always been the official language of our royal family. ”
"More than 200 years ago, under the mediation of the Han court, the Wusun Kingdom had been divided into two parts, the large and the small. The Great Kunmi is in the western half of the Wusun Kingdom, accounting for most of the population, and the Little Kunmi is in the eastern half of the Wusun Kingdom, and the remaining small half of the population"
"It has always been strong in the west and weak in the east, our big Kunmi is the bloodline of Princess Sanssouci, but Xiao Kunmi is the bloodline of the Hun princess. In the last hundred years, although our Wusun country is declining, it is also peaceful! ”
"The two countries have been at peace until the last few years. The royal family of Little Kunmi was usurped by his ministers and exterminated. A new country was born called Yueban. ”
"They colluded with the bald and beggar tribes of the Xianbei tribe to plot against our Great Kunmi. Because the little Kunmi no longer exists, our big Kunmi has reverted to its old name, and my father has also reinstated his title as Kunmo, that is, the king of Wusun! ”
"However, Wusun is now weak, and he can fight less than 30,000, and he has long since lost the pomp and circumstance of the number one power in the Western Regions in the era of Princess Wu. Yue colluded with the two Xianbei tribes to occupy our pastures, plunder the population, and rob property, and even want to divide our land. ”
"My father had no choice but to send me to ask for help from the Great Han. I hope that for the sake of Princess Jie's blood and incense, I can help her, otherwise Wusun will die in the country! ”
After listening to this, Ma Chao can be regarded as understanding what happened. He pointed to the men in black, "Are they Xianbei?" ”
Princess Suguang nodded, "That's right, they are from the Xianbei Beggar Tribe, and they have been chasing us from the Tianshan Mountains to here. We heard that the Dunhuang Taishou had been missing for several years, so we thought of going directly to Luoyang to meet His Majesty the Emperor. ”
"I really didn't expect that these Xianbei people would be so bold and reckless, and they would dare to ambush us in the territory of Dahan! Could it be that the Han is even going to give up the Hexi Corridor now? ”
Ma Chao shook his head, "That's impossible, it's just that in the past few years, there have been many changes in the Han Dynasty, and the control over the Western Regions and Liangzhou region has declined." ”
"But now it's okay, my lord, Lord Lu Bu, is in control of the overall situation and has recovered the entire territory of Liangzhou. I was about to rush to Dunhuang, and the new protector of the Western Regions, Lord Zheng, lived in Dunhuang. You can come with me to see Lord Fazheng, he will definitely help you! ”
Su Guang was happy to hear what Ma Chao said, "Great, I'll go with you to see Lord Protector of the Western Regions." I think that the protector of the Western Regions back then was still stationed in our Wusun Tuntian Festival! ”
"Please help us! We are closer to the Han people of the Central Plains, hate the Huns and Xianbei people, they are barbaric, rude, uneducated, and brutal! ”
Ma Chao was naturally willing to help Princess Suguang, and he decided to lead the reconnaissance battalion to personally escort the Wusun delegation to Dunhuang.
The brigade immediately went on the road, the reconnaissance battalion was guarded in the front and rear, the convoy was in the middle, and the Xianbei prisoners were also tied up and held in the rear of the team.
When it was dark, he had not yet arrived in Dunhuang, so he could only camp in the wilderness.
The people in the convoy were very experienced, and all the vehicles formed a circle, with the old man and the woman in the circle.
The young men stayed outside the circle, lit bonfires, barbecued beef and mutton, and were in charge of keeping vigil.
The reconnaissance battalion set up camp next to the convoy and set up tents. A sentry was arranged, and Ma Chao was invited to the convoy, eating barbecue and drinking wine.
Several Wusun women also danced their folk dances, led by Princess Suguang. After the dance, Princess Suguang personally came to Ma Chao to toast him.
Ma Chao pushed at the beginning, Princess Suguang lifted the light veil of the mask, and a beautiful face appeared in front of Ma Chao, this is a mixed-race beauty, her appearance concentrates the beauty of Eastern and Western beauties, and all the facial features are combined together.
Especially with the help of the firelight, Ma Chao can see that her eyes are as blue as the lake, her hair is a black waterfall, the bridge of her nose is as high as that of a Hu person, and her small mouth is as petite as a Han person!
Ma Chao is also at the age of the beginning of love, my fair lady and gentleman are so good!
