Chapter 560: The Urn (1)
The sky is turned west, sprinkled with the green and yellow soil, from the south of Shuo, west of Zhao Wuling Valley, the terrain is getting higher, the soil is getting harder and harder, the grassland is not dense between the field of vision, the exposed loess is gradually increasing, occasionally blowing a strong wind blows through this land, the yellowed grass clippings, dust particles fly in the air, showing the barren desolation and roughness of the northwest.
Wuwei County belongs to Liangzhou, bordering Yongzhou, and has jurisdiction over Guzang, Zhangye, Wuwei, Xiutu, Luanniao, Xuanwei...... and other fourteen counties. Moving forward, it is also an important intersection of the Central Plains, Chang'an and the countries of the Western Regions.
Since the second year of Emperor Wu's Yuanzhan, Huo Hussar defeated the Huns and incorporated the Hexi Corridor into the territory, Wuwei County has been standing on this land, and the long-term wind and sand have blown, and the city wall guarding this side has also turned up the wall skin in time, forming mottled one after another, just like a highly decorated general, the residual honor on his body.
The wind and sand gradually rose, and herds of cattle and sheep neighed, driven by the herdsmen, and went down to the hills to take refuge. Not far from this, as the whimpering wind grew louder and louder, two groups of cavalry, less than a hundred, came to a raised mound, and soon a whirlwind of dust swept past their feet.
"Ben Jiang is a native of Zhangye, his young family is poor, there is a famine for a year, and both parents are starving to death here, I Guo Duo...... He survived by eating the flesh and blood of his parents. ”
The words drifted away in the wind, and the one who spoke was a bearded man with a full face, wearing a cooked bronze beast face armor, and when his eyes narrowed in the wind and sand, he showed a fierce look, and he looked at the shepherd in the distance driving the sheep: "...... later became a horse thief, wandering around in Xiliang, Guzang has also come back many times, you see the sheep over there, if we meet, people and sheep will be robbed clean..... there is not even a single hair left...... But after following Dong Gong, he changed his current name, and now he has come back after so many years, and it is still like this here, which is really fucking unpleasant! ”
Guo Yan waved his horsewhip and spit downward, and there were spit stars splashed on the face of a person next to him, the man's cloak was scattered in the wind, and he also had a big beard, rough and dark skin, and it was Ah Hun Ya, since the rebellion of the Xianbei royal court with Lu Buping, he was singled out to be the commander of ten thousand people, and this time he received an order on the way to plunder the Western Regions, which was to meet Guo Yan of Yanmen County in Shuofang and go south to Liangzhou together.
Although the two are of different nationalities, and it is the first time to meet, but over the years, all levels of the Southern Xiongnu have learned Chinese, and the communication is not very large, more than a month to run-in, the two are both rough temperament, several contacts during the march, and it can be regarded as some friendship, Ah Hun Ya wiped off the few points of saliva on his face, and smiled indifferently.
"Here..... Ahunya came for the second time, Hugh Tu over there, once been, when I was young, I rode two horses, drove five sheep to this side to pick up a woman, but then died of illness on the way back..... it's a pity for my sheep......"
"Haha..... you Hun women don't seem to be strong."
"Being favored by the Immortal Heaven, no matter how strong the person is, he will serve in the Heavens."
“…… Haha, I advise you to change your faith, now Xianbei is thriving the White Wolf God Cult, I think it's good. ”
"There are already people in the tribe who believe in it...... General Guo, the wolf king asked us to come over, what are we going to do? Fighting the Qiang people here, Ah Hun Ya has a way to let them go down the mountain. ”
His beard stroked in the wind, Guo Yanle turned his horse's head, squinted his eyes at the Hun commander next to him, and shook his head: "Fighting the Qiang people, you don't need you, naturally someone will do it, did you see the more than 20 carts yesterday?" The weapons and armor on them, in a few days we will put them on and attack the city and plunder the land. ”
"Fight Wuwei?"
Ah Hun Ya knew that his side was just a foreign general of the White Wolf King, and he would not tell some secrets in the army, and he would not have too many thoughts in his heart, after all, if he was to be humble, and the Han people were supplemented, he would do the same, but when he heard these words, he was a little surprised.
"When the time comes, you'll know." Guo Yan ignored his expression, patted the sand on his beard, and then led everyone down the mound.
On the 11th day of September, in the camp of more than 20,000 people, in the dry heat of the early morning, the black-haired, thick and short Daqin auxiliaries got up early, came and went in the camp, unloaded the Roman armor of the chariot, dressed the Hun soldiers and Han soldiers who were familiar with the road, and the wolf flag with the inscription 'Gongsun 'Guo' was lowered, and the Great Qin Eagle Banner with mottled blood stains was erected in front of each team.
Woo –
When the cornet sounded in the mouth of one of the Great Qin auxiliaries, the entire huge phalanx appeared on the Xiliang Realm like a real Great Qin legion.
Guo Yan helped the red-maned bronze helmet on his head, and scolded: "This is a fucking cockscomb...... and then looked at the two exposed hairy thighs, turned over the horse's back with a red face, waved the copper short sword, and shouted: "Let's go-"
The smoke and dust swept the earth, the 'war' against Liangzhou began, the eagle flags appeared in the field outside the city of Guzang, and soon, the drums of the city were knocked on the four gates, and a large number of soldiers ran around the city, and the county guard who received the news in advance issued a majestic order to 'resist'.
In the afternoon, an army of unknown origin broke through the city.
On September 15, the news of the origin of this army was quickly transmitted to the rest of the county in the hands of fast horses, and at the same time, the entire 20,000 'Great Qin' troops marched out again and passed towards Xuanwei, and the defenders of the city led the Han army out of the city to meet the enemy, launched a fierce battle, and soon retreated back to the city in defeat.
On September 17, Xuanwei was broken, and the Great Qin army launched a massacre of the city, and the flames rolled up thick smoke and soared into the sky, which could be seen dozens of miles away.
Soon, the front of the army spread and slaughtered towards Hugh. The news that shocked the world was already on the way to spread, and the Qiang tribe far away on the mountain was the first to receive it, and for a while, all the tribal leaders were shocked, and then they were ecstatic and gathered in one place to discuss.
At night, the weather fades a little from the heat.
The burning bonfire attracts flying insects in the woods, dancing in the light, and the golden grease drips from the roasted sheep's body into the fire. On the spread of fur, a man with his bare upper body showing his muscular lines fiddled with a knife to cut meat, and his gaze swept over the leaders of the other departments around him.
"I heard the news from outsiders that an army from the west has arrived in Handi."
"The news is right, some people in the clan saw Xuanwei on fire from a distance, many Han people ran out of the city, and that army also saw it, and the armor banner is different from this side."
"Then our chance has come." Someone leaned forward, waving his thin arms.
The man who was fiddling with the blade looked at him sideways: "Don't forget, how was Dongqiang exterminated, there are still many people like Duan Cheng among the Han people...... Ma Chao is one. ”
"There is another one, Gongsun Zhi who is far away in the grassland."
At the door of the dome grass house, a hoarse voice of an old man in the clan reminded them that they slowly walked in with a hunched back on a wooden stick.
