Chapter 14: Abba the Sorcerer
In ancient times, many people did not have names, such as Sanwazi, who only knew that their surname was Zhang, ranking third.
Like Wu Kun, he still spent a lot of money to ask the county scholars to give the words, and his original name was Ah Niu.
There is a particularly evil saying in Huaxia: A cheap name is easy to feed. What dog eggs, dog leftovers, big girls, stones, two dogs and the like, abound.
The truth contained in it, Yang Shuang suspects that it is folk customs, as well as popular fairy spells, as well as witchcraft, to prevent children from being damaged.
The middle-aged sorcerer is still like this, his name is Aba, and his surname is Liu.
Two months ago, Liu Aba's mother was seriously ill, and she heard that there was a spring on Mingsha Mountain on the south side of Dunhuang, and there was a big cloud around the spring, so she brought her mother to pick here. (Da Yun is also known as Cistanche, known as goblin in traditional Chinese medicine, which is desert ginseng and a great tonic.) )
Unfortunately, when Liu Aba placed his mother in the city and went to Mingsha Mountain to look for medicine, Dunhuang was broken by the Turks, and none of the residents in the city were spared, and he himself encountered horse thieves who took refuge in the Turks and was coerced to the Yumen Pass of the old Han Dynasty.
Liu Aba wanted revenge, so he hibernated in the horse thief as a sorcerer, ready to wait for the opportunity.
Recently, when he heard that the Turks were about to go south, he went out to collect medicine on the pretext of treating the chief's eye disease, and wanted to deliver news to the Great Sui Sentinel Cavalry.
I never thought that the sorcerer was unusually important in the eyes of the horse thieves, and the leader of the horse thieves actually arranged for fifty people to follow!
Yang Shuang looked up to the sky and sighed, it's too bloody!
But seeing that Aba's face didn't seem to be fake, he believed it in his heart.
Attached to Shi Da's ear, he told him to stare at the newcomer, and after a slight movement, the mace waited, and continued to study the ancient map.
The two lambs to the slaughter have been recovered by Niu Er, and now that there are dead horses, it is natural that the living animals cannot be wasted.
Wu Kun took Zhou Lao Wu to cut horse meat for barbecue, and the three babies rode to the west to investigate the movements of horse thieves.
The ancient map was very simple, and the mountains, water, and cities were all represented in patterns, which was almost clear at a glance.
But Yang Shuang didn't understand what the black-armored knight ordered the six of them to do in the place where there was no military significance in the Yumen Pass of the Old Han Dynasty!
It stands to reason that no matter what he and Shi Da say, they are stronger than Jiashi, and in the face of the Turks going south, one more person will eventually have more strength.
If two generals with high military strength can take the head of the enemy general in the army, it may really be possible to turn the tide of the war.
Could it be that the black king knows that he has a golden finger? He's in charge of attracting firepower so that he's going to be lewd?
It's a bit bullshit, so Wang Ba calf won't have such a good heart.
Yang Shuang frowned and pondered, looking at the surroundings of Dunhuang, there is the dark water in the north, the sand river in the south, Yongxing County in the east, and the Yumen Pass in the west.
In this way, Dunhuang is a lonely city, and the defense force is too weak!
Yiwu is the future Hami region, west out of Yumen to the Western Regions, west out of ····· There is no reason to go out of Yangguan in the west!
What about Yangguan?
Why is there no Yangguan on the map?!
Thanks to the Tang poems that have been around for centuries, Yang Shuang suddenly woke up.
"Wu Kun!"
"Big brother, what's wrong?"
"Look at this map, is there something wrong?"
Wu Kun grabbed the loess and rubbed the blood stains in his hands, carefully picked up the map, just glanced at it, and exclaimed: "There is no Yangguan Ancient Road, no Hecang Ancient City, and no Mobei Camp on it!" ”
After a long time, he shook his head and continued: "This is not a marching map, too many military deployments have been erased, and some are just rudimentary terrain. The person who made the map was probably afraid that it would be taken by the Turks, so there were many places that were deliberately written incorrectly. ”
Yang Shuang looked at Wu Kun deeply, this guy really knows a lot, "Where is Yangguan?" ”
Wu Kun didn't mainly look at the boss's eyes, looked at the map and said: "Dunhuang is a hundred miles south, located on the edge of the Shahe River. There should be 500 households and more than 1,000 armor soldiers! However, Tuyuhun is often closed, and the current situation there is unknown. ”
Yang Shuang nodded, it seems that the Black King Ba wants to use himself as bait to attract the attention of the Turks, and then take more than 100 armor soldiers from Dunhuang, take Yangguan lightly, leave part of the people to defend, and the rest return overnight!
But there are too few troops! Could it be that reinforcements are about to arrive?
Calculate the time, it should be about the same!
Thinking about the intention of the black-armored knight, Yang Shuang's eyes flickered, attracting firepower and creating hatred, as if he was very good at it.
Seven men almost swallowed half of the horse, but no one dared to eat more.
Horse meat is sweet, sour, cold, poisonous, boiled with foam, accompanied by a foul smell, and dry poop after eating a lot!
If it weren't for the need to fill the system, Yang Shuang resolutely refused to eat, wiping his ass would have been a hassle in ancient times, not to mention doing it!
After waiting in place for a long time, and not seeing the horse thieves come to seek revenge, a group of people breathed a sigh of relief, but it was inevitable that they would have some regrets.
Yang Shuang and Shi Da didn't sleep all night last night, and it was just after noon, and they were sleepy, so Wu Kun and a few people followed Abba to the ancient city of Hecang, and the two of them lay on horseback and fell asleep.
Thanks to his frontier career in his previous life, Yang Shuang can not only ride horses, but also ride yaks.
In the haze, he had a dream and became a general.
The fierce generals under his command are full of soldiers, killing the state in every state, breaking the mansion in every state, everywhere he goes, he is like a locust crossing the border, what he eats, what he eats.
Tigers, lions, hippos, elephants, giant bears, snakes and pythons all became the things in the womb, and finally launched a bald army to the west for food.
Nest grass!
After waking up, the sky was already dark, and Yang Shuang felt that this dream seemed to warn him that the soul of the soldier was a foreign object after all, and improving his own strength was the king!
It seems that when you have free time, you still need to exercise more!
"Where?"
"Big brother, you're awake, Abba said, it's still fifty miles away from the ancient city of Hecang!"
"What about the three babies? Did the horse thief make any moves? ”
"Big brother, I've been back a long time ago, and I haven't found the slightest trace of a horse thief."
"That's good, hurry up!"
·········
The ancient city of Hecang, commonly known as Dafangpan City, is 150 meters long from east to west and about 20 meters wide from north to south.
The ancient city is named because it is located on the side of the Styx River, and there are large Gobi Deserts several feet higher than the castle in the north and south, making the ancient city extremely hidden, and it is difficult to find this logistics supply point if you don't come to it.
Around the ancient city, there are also many beacon towers, like guards on the lookout.
After the horse thieves occupy the area, they make full use of the terrain and buildings to form a defensive system.
Approaching dawn, Yang Shuang left the three children to take care of the war horses ten miles away, and the rest of the people quietly lurked under a beacon tower.
The beacon tower is not high, only four meters, and the wall battlements have long been damaged due to the long-term abandonment.
The Trinity Wall Climbing Technique, supported by high combat power, burst out with amazing power, and in just two seconds, Yang Shuang appeared on the beacon platform.
Seeing the two horse thieves who were napping, the war knife swung lightly, and two scoops of blood sprayed out.
Standing on the beacon tower and looking out, the ancient city in the distance has come into view, and there are three beacon towers around, and there is no movement on them.
Sure enough, a thief is a thief, how can he look like a soldier!
Yang Shuang turned over and jumped down, quietly gestured to everyone, and quickly disappeared into the waist-high barren grass.
