【Latest chapter reading. 】 The holy land of the world, Xiqiang grassland,

Flowers bloom, grass fragrant,

Horses and sheep, singing loudly,

The herders live a very happy life......

Yes! …… Yes! …… Yes!

Killed a demon from the east,

The heart is like iron, and the eyes are in flames,

The butcher's knife is raised high, and the blood is flowing like a river,

Poor people,

Full of tears, farewell to my hometown,

Go to the far west and find a new kingdom of heaven............

Under the strong pressure of the Han army, the herdsmen collapsed on their horses, drove the sheep, bid farewell to the place of birth, and embarked on the long journey to the west.

The song was mournful and heartbreaking, and soon it was sung in the grassland, and the herdsmen gave it a name "Oriental Demon", which was remembered by the descendants and passed down for thousands of years......

The mournful song was sung in all directions, and finally reached the Han military camp, after listening, the hard-hearted 'ghost-faced Xiao Lang' couldn't help but shed tears of sympathy, and then issued three military orders in a row:

First: 3,000 pairs of armor, 10,000 spears, 200,000 arrows, and 100,000 corn were allocated to various tribes to fund their westward expeditions!

Second: when the autumn wind is together, when the grass turns yellow, the tribes immediately set off, and dare to hide everywhere and stay without leaving - there is no forgiveness for killing!

Third: the counties and cities of Xiliang are under martial law, and the soldiers of the Han army are ready to attack, and when the time comes, they will immediately receive the grasslands, rivers, and mountains ......of the tribes, and officially include them in the territory of the Han Dynasty!

Sympathy is one thing, land is another, the two cannot be mixed, this is the choice of the soldiers!

In order to help the tribes to march westward, Xiao Yi also really worked hard, and sent ordnance, grain and grass, and helped them make up their minds, just like a rooster announcing the dawn, constantly crowing loudly, urging them to set off quickly, fully expressing the Han family's tradition of good neighborliness and friendship!

Of course, the necessary precautions can not be less, judging from the current situation, the various departments are quickly assembled and are preparing for the expedition, but what if they feed the war horses and sharpen their swords and guns, what if they suddenly turn the horse's head and kill to the east?

As the commander of the Han army, Xiao Yi must take precautions and strictly order the soldiers of the Han army to prepare, and the neighbors will move obediently, if they are not obedient, then send them to another place - Ghost Gate!

Whether it is persecution or persuasion, under Xiao Yi's full supervision, the affairs of the Western Expedition are proceeding in an orderly manner, the resistance is indeed not small, but the general trend is irreversible!

At the same time, the Han army's selection of generals and preparations for the westward expedition of the coalition army are also in progress, in order to prevent accidents, Xiao Yi first went out through some rumors to test the reaction, and the result was surprisingly smooth!

"Husband, do extraordinary things, establish a name for the world, and the last general is willing to lead the army to the west, open up territory for the Han Dynasty, and promote foreign lands, and hope that the governor of Dadu will be successful!"

Hearing the news, Ma put down his military affairs, traveled day and night, ran to the camp in a smoke, and after meeting, he immediately knelt down on one knee and fought for the position of commander-in-chief of the coalition army, or, the vanguard officer can also be, no matter what, it is no problem to be a pawn in the army!

Everyone has a dream, horses are not excluded, he has no interest in the interior of the Central Plains, on the contrary, he is very obsessed with the mysterious Western world, when he was a child, he set up an ambition, collapsed on a war horse, held a spear, all the way to the west to fight, hit the sunset, see what the end of the earth looks like?

Now that the opportunity has come, how can you miss it, even if you leave behind your wealth and wealth, you must also complete your dreams, otherwise the strong personality of the 'Jinma', how can he kneel down and beg for someone, to be precise, he is not kneeling Xiao Yi, but his own dreams!

"The journey to the west is far away, the future is unpredictable, Meng Qi is a national general, a pillar of the material, the governor of Bendu is reluctant to give up!"

People took the initiative to ask for help, Xiao Yi was embarrassed, since they met, they have secretly calculated the father and son of the Ma family, and now they want others to take risks to the west, I really can't bear it, be kind!

"Died on the battlefield, shrouded in horse leather, life is a great blessing, even if the last general has no regrets, I hope that the governor will be fulfilled, otherwise, set up a death account!"

As he spoke, the horse drew his sword, crossed it around his neck, and his eyes were full of determination, if he was not allowed to lead the army to the west, he would kill himself, anyway, his dream was shattered, and life was better than death!

"Hey! …… Meng Qi is really a warrior of the Han family, the matter of the western expedition is not a general can not be competent, the men and horses in the camp, arbitrarily selected, ordnance, grain and grass, sufficient preparations, choose an auspicious day, sacrifice the flag to go to the battle! ”

With a long sigh, Xiao Yi nodded and agreed, everyone has their own fate, and the horse's life should be spent on the journey!

………………………………………………………………………………………

The first year of Jian'an - autumn, the sixth day of October, Daji, good in the West!

The army marching ceremony was held in the 'Champion City', in order to show solemnity, Xiao Yi ordered to build a 'point general platform', three layers up and down, a radius of several zhang, the top is full of five-color flags, a bronze giant tripod is placed in the center, incense is burned, and blessings are prayed!

There were many people who participated in the expedition ceremony, including the military officials of Xiliang, the celebrities of the scholar clan, and the chiefs of various ethnic groups...... All arrived, and tens of thousands of soldiers stood under the stage, looking around, people are like tigers, horses are like dragons, and the flag can't see the sky at a glance, which is really majestic!

"The Han army went on the expedition, the heavens protected it, and the blood of Yan and Huang lasted forever...... Please General Meng Qi to take the stage and receive the seal! On the high platform, after Xiao Yi burned incense and bowed, he announced the start of the expedition ceremony!

"General Kamui...... Wansheng! ”

"General Kamui...... Wansheng! ”

In the land of Xiliang, who doesn't know the prestige of 'Jinma', the generals of the Han army, the chiefs of various departments, and the tens of thousands of soldiers who went out on the expedition, all raised their arms and shouted, and the sound shook the sky!

Look at the horse, white robe and silver armor, full of energy, agile as a leopard, quickly ascending the high platform, clasping his fists and saluting - "The last general will pay homage to the Grand Governor!" ”

"Wild land, the journey is long, the general is so self-sufficient!" After Xiao Yi whispered his instructions, he took out a four-inch gold seal from his arms, and after flipping it, six big characters were revealed--'General Fubo, the Great Han!' ’

General Fubo - Ma Yuan, the founder of the Eastern Han Dynasty, is also one of the twenty-four generals of Yuntai, pacified the Southern Barbarians, repeatedly made military exploits, and later died of illness in the army, the horse leather shrouded and returned, realizing the highest value of a soldier, in addition, he is also the ancestor of the horse!

For more than 200 years, the Ma family has always wanted to restore the glory of their ancestors, and now Xiao Yi has given the 'Golden Seal of General Fubo', which is tantamount to the greatest glory for them!

"Thank you for the seal of the Metropolitan Governor, the last general will definitely do his best to expand the territory and live up to the name of the ancestors!" The golden seal was received with both hands, the horse was held tightly in his arms, the blood was spilled on the field, and the horse leather shrouded - it was also his own dream!

"Wan Sheng! …… Wansheng! …… Wansheng! ”

The general received the seal and ordered the three armies, and tens of thousands of soldiers shouted again, and they were equally honored to be able to inherit the title of 'General Fubo'!

Looking at the horse standing proudly on the platform, Ma Teng who watched the ceremony couldn't help but burst into tears, on the one hand, the beloved son went west, the road was far away, the auspicious and unpredictable, and the heart was very reluctant, on the other hand, the Ma family received this honor, made meritorious contributions, and left a name in history, it is also a deep honor!

Last night, the governor summoned him alone, the two talked for a long time, and finally reached an agreement, the Ma family gave up the Xiliang foundation, the head of the family entered the court, the children joined the army, and completely attached to the court, Xiao Yi also swore to the sky to ensure that the Ma family was safe and sound, and the generations were rich and glorious!

For such an arrangement, Ma Teng is very satisfied, how many catties and taels he has, he knows in his heart that forcibly cutting off the male will be twisted into powder sooner or later, it is better to give up his power and keep his wealth, it is better than falling to the ground and becoming a vessel for others to drink, as for the glory of the Ma family, he has his eldest son to open up!

At the same time, there were also Liang Xing, Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, and Li Kan who were up and down in their hearts, they stood in the queue, full of military uniforms, and marched west together!

To tell the truth, the wild land, they didn't want to go, but if they don't go, they can't go, under Xiao Yi's strong oppression, they don't dare to resist at all, the Ma family father and son are all there, what can they do, it's better to go west than to lose their heads, besides, they don't have no motivation at all!

Thinking of this, the four of them touched their arms, and there was a Jun order hidden there, the blank Jun order of the Prime Minister's Mansion, which was the biggest motivation for their westward expedition!

Last night, Xiao Yi also summoned them and did some mobilization work, saying that it is useless to say to the four outright villains that it is useless to say that the national righteousness and the name of the history are useless, if you want them to work hard, you must have enough benefits!

Xiao Yi didn't talk nonsense, each person had a blank order, and a few more words were done: "In the land of the Western Regions, hundreds of people are heroes, thousands of people are heroes, 10,000 people are heroes, there are many small countries, there are countless golden crowns, how much future the four can have, it depends on their own skills!" ”

The words are very direct and utilitarian, but the four of them keep in mind that what Xiao Yi said makes sense, they are staying in Xiliang, the official is not the county guard, the lord is not the marquis, and the Yulu is only 2,000 stones, and they have to be cautious and low-key, for fear of offending the officials, and there will be no corpse!

The Western Regions is different, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, unrestrained, with the skills of the four of them, plus tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, they can lay down a few cities, divide one side, and it is not difficult to establish themselves as kings, how happy it should be!

As soon as they thought of wearing a golden crown, founding a country and becoming the king, calling a thousand years old, and accepting the concubine ......, Liang Xing and the four of them trembled with excitement, God bless, their good days are coming!

However, they definitely didn't expect that last night, Xiao Yi also gave Ma a secret order: "Monitor the every move of the four generals, if you have the heart of rebelling against the Han - there will be no forgiveness!" ”

When the auspicious time came, several soldiers took a green ox and a white horse, and after killing them with a 'ghost head knife', they smeared the blood on a military flag and handed them to the horse with both hands!

"Wherever the banner goes, it is all Han soil, all the way to the west, and it will never collect troops until it reaches the sky...... Kill! "The horse held high the banner, pointed to the west, and gave the order to go on the march!
