The Western Regions is a good place, the Tianshan Mountains are beautiful, the grasslands are verdant, and there are occasional patches of regular fields planted with chestnut rice, millet seeds, and beautiful grape trellises.

The purple grapes from the far west have quietly bloomed, but the small green flowers are easy to ignore, and if you don't pay attention to it, the flowering period will pass, leaving only the fruity aroma of the grapes.

Standing under the vine, Sylde looked up at this strange fruit. If it weren't for Bai Dong's special need for him to pay attention, he would probably not care about this kind of thing like the natives here; Although the taste of this thing is good, not many people grow it in the Western Regions, because it is too difficult to preserve, and it can't satisfy hunger, even if it is dried into raisins, you can't eat too much, otherwise it will have stomach acid. Therefore, the people of the Western Regions would rather grow more chestnut rice seeds and wheat that consumes great land power than waste land power to grow this flashy fruit. (Barley and wheat have long been seen in Xinjiang, but the quantity is not much)

"My teacher once said that in my hometown, there is a fruit called 'grape', which not only tastes sweet, but also can be used to make wine, and has the effect of relieving fatigue, detoxifying, and beautifying. If this kind of wine is in China, it will definitely be liked by the noble doctors and doctors, and exchange it for precious copper and iron for Lao Qin? Could this wine be better than the wine of the Master's family? ”

Syald commanded some of the Meng family members to carefully prune the vines, water and fertilize them, and he believed that what his master said would be true, and when the grapes bore fruit, there would be enough seeds to be transported back to Lao Qin. The teacher said that this is also his credit.

It's a pity that such a merit is still not enough to pass the test of my mentor, when will I be able to fulfill my mentor's entrustment and return to Qin like a hero. What about marrying a beautiful little aunt of grass? ’

When I think of that delicate and lovely beauty, the little aunt. Syald's heart was on fire. But as long as he thinks of Bai Dong's request to him, his heart will become cold again.

He had actually proven his ability, this time he was thrown to the Western Regions by Bai Dong, and there was only one guide by his side, even if there was enough food and water, what could he do? If he encounters wolves and ill-intentioned Rong people, his life will be lost. Luckily, he was lucky enough to barely encounter a large pack of wolves, and the friendly Otsuki clan was even more obsessed with his music. After hearing his 'our good place in Xinjiang', more than a dozen brown-eyed and white-skinned Dayue girls said that they wanted to marry him, and it was said that they almost fought a duel for his 'little fresh meat'.

It's just that when the Qiang people controlled the zhì district, his guide died at the hands of the Qiang people, and he also became a prisoner of the Qiang people, if he hadn't been favored by the Qiang people's 'princess', I am afraid that he would have had his tongue cut out, his ears pierced, and his buttocks burned with coals. He became a slave of the Qiang people.

In order to survive, he bent his knees in front of the Qiang 'princess'. became her lover for one night, and then cut off her head, threw it in another hostile tribe overnight, and was the first to 'find' the princess's body, for which he was in pain When the two Qiang tribes fought fiercely for this, he took the opportunity to kill the guards and rescued more than 100 Meng family children who were captured by this Qiang tribe, and it was he who led these more than 100 Meng family children to fight hard out of the encirclement, and fought more than a dozen battles with the pursuers, and finally found the Meng family brigade.

Is this the test of the teacher? Almost put himself as a student and turned into a devil.

In order to survive, he had to kill the Qiang 'princess' who once loved him deeply, in fact, this girl was very kind, very cute, with black hair and big eyes, when he smiled, his crooked eyes were like a beautiful crescent moon, but he said kill without hesitation.

Just to complete the test of the teacher, just for the sake of the little aunt? On that full moon night, Syrd slapped himself hard, bowed deeply in the direction of the Qiang tribe, then stood up, wiped away his tears fiercely, and forgot about the lovely Qiang girl from now on.

He knew he had succeeded in unleashing the tiger in his heart. Even when the Xi family city was trapped and he commanded thousands of clan soldiers alone, this tiger was actually still hidden deep in his heart and did not really release it, but now he has done it.

Because he knows that in this place where the weak eat the strong, even in the well-dressed and civilized China, if there is no amazing talent like his teacher, he must be a fierce tiger to be regarded as a talent who can take charge on his own. This ability is not leftover, and his most powerful rival in love is not left, but he has succeeded in having it!

In fact, from the first time he saw Syord, Bai Dong saw the essence of this young man, he could command thousands of troops and horses on the bloody battlefield at the age of sixteen, and he would be a hero if he didn't become a hero in the future. He was ordered to travel thousands of miles west, but only to give him a guide, some food and water, and to put him to death, precisely to bring out his potential.

If you want to pass through the Western Regions and finally assimilate the Western Regions, you must first subdue them. Bai Dong is not worried about the source of troops and equipment, but he needs a commander who is talented enough and ruthless, Lao Qin can't just change the law of Shang Yang but not kill the god Bai Qi.

"Little sir, the head of the family has reached an agreement with the Sekhs to jointly attack Tuyuqiang and Serikand"

A member of the Meng family hurried over, reporting to Sylde with some concern; It was one of the more than 100 children of the Meng family that Sylde rescued from the Qiang people.

"What!"

Child's face changed suddenly.

The Meng family now needs to open a safe passage in the area controlled by Shengqiang, but even the members of the Meng family think that the first thing the current Meng family needs is to recuperate, rather than fighting up the last bit of capital to take the initiative to attack Shengqiang.

But Meng Chenggong didn't think so, in his eyes, the biggest obstacle for the Meng family was the ancient Shengqiang tribe, and he urgently needed to prove himself.

In the eyes of the oldest Qiang tribes, the Huaxia people represent the dark forces and must be eliminated, so when the Meng family took the gifts prepared by Bai Dong and the legend of the Western Regions Zhurong map and the 'thunderbolt fire' provided by the Fan family, it only made some 'mature Qiang' on the edge of the Western Regions buy it, but they paid a huge sacrifice when crossing the Shengqiang control area, and more than 10,000 people were reduced by thirty percent. Now the location of the Meng family is just between the Shengqiang tribe and the Chengkuo Zhurong, which is the center of the Xiongnu control zhì in the future, and it is also the place where Zhang Qian used to shepherd sheep.

Face the cunning city of Zhurong and the powerful Shengqiang tribe. The Meng family can only take advantage of the contradictions between them in order to survive. Fortunately, Chengkuo Zhurong regarded the Meng family as a buffer between them and the Shengqiang tribe. The Shengqiang are more superstitious, and they only suppress the Meng family, but they don't dare to really attack with the strength of the whole clan. The legend of Bai Dong sweeping away hundreds of thousands of steppe wolves with thunderbolts is so terrifying that the Qiang people believe that this is the 'dark god' who blessed the Chinese people to exert their divine powers, and their Baishi god must have entered a century-long sleep

In just over a month, the Meng family fought dozens of battles, and the Syed cousin who brought Bai Zi's recommendation was particularly outstanding, and on several occasions he led more than 100 clansmen to defeat enemies several times his own. has made great contributions to the Meng family. But Meng Chenggong was still a little jealous of this young man, he naturally knew that the Meng family was just a convicted people, and he had no bargaining capital at all, but he was still full of hope that a miracle would appear; If he Meng Chenggong can defeat the largest Shengqiang tribe Tuyu and Se Liqiang in one fell swoop, maybe he will have the qualifications to bargain with Lao Qin and Baizi?

Meng Chenggong knew that Syald had the prestige of retreating from the Qin army in the Xi family's city, and he also understood that Bai Dong intended to ask Sylde to lead the Meng family soldiers, but in fact, he was also indirectly helping the convicted Meng family; It's just an exiled family, who will control you rarely? Moreover, if the Meng family is too strong in the Western Regions, maybe they will be feared by Lao Qin, if it is led by Bai Zi's disciples. That will make Jun feel more at ease. But he was really unwilling to hand over the family warrior into the hands of a young man from the Western family, even if this young man had gradually established a very high reputation in the Meng family. The more than 100 members of the Meng family who were rescued by Sylde have long been dead set on this young man, counting their families and close clans, there are thousands of Meng family members who have recognized this ruthless young hero!

In order to impress Lao Qin and Bai Zi, he Meng Chenggong must do something, attack the two major Shengqiang tribes in one fell swoop, open a safe passage, and implement Bai Dong's strategy of controlling the Western Regions, which is a great credit! So when the Meng family did not recover, Meng Chenggong eagerly did it, and even hired a Qiang man who was fluent in Huaxia and Seker languages as a translator at a high price, pledged his most trusted son and nephew to the Seker King City, and promised that after the victory, he would equally share the land controlled by the two major Shengqiang tribes with the Sekers.

But in Syard's opinion, Meng Chenggong's alliance with the Sekers is tantamount to making a contract with the beast, which is looking for death! Originally, whether the Meng family died or not had nothing to do with him, but if the Meng family was finished, he would not be able to pass the test of Guò Teacher, and a loser would still have the face to go back to Lao Qin to face the little master? Wu Li is humble, and he may not say anything, but he will be laughed at by Sang Wazi and Dog Leftovers.

Glancing at this disciple of the Meng family called Meng Fang, Sylde groaned slightly: "If I want to take some of the soldiers of the Xi family and enough baggage equipment with me before the Meng patriarch sends out his troops, how many people will follow me?" ”

Meng Fang was taken aback: "Isn't Mr. Xiao crazy?" Although Mr. Xiao is a student of Baizi and has saved hundreds of children of our clan, this kind of behavior is to make the children of the clan betray the family, and they will not be able to enter the ancestral grave after death! ”

"Before I came to the Western Regions, my mentor once told me about the Western Regions Zhurong map, the temperament, origins, strengths and weaknesses of the Western Regions, I know a little about you, do you know how the mentor evaluates the Sekers? The teacher said that the Sekhs were the most powerful and cunning of the city, and that when we were strong enough, they would become our friends. When we are weak, they become our nightmares. Is the Meng family strong enough now? Compared with Tuyu and Seliqiang, who have nearly 10,000 elite horses, what reason do the Sekers have to choose the Meng family? The Sekhs can allow the Meng family to be their buffer with the Shengqiang tribe, but they will not allow the Meng family to attack and destroy the two Shengqiang tribes, unless it is "

Meng Fang is also a side branch in the Meng family tree, but his lineage has enough influence in the side branch of the Meng family, if he gets the help of his father, plus the support of the Meng family children he once saved, he can influence more than a thousand people in the Meng family, and may be able to help the Meng family avoid this crisis. That's why Sylde patiently explained to the Meng side: "The Sekers won't do anything that is not beneficial, and their power is originally in the westernmost urban area, and whether there is a Meng family as a buffer or not, in fact, the impact on them is really not great; So why did the Sekhs, at the risk of offending the two Shengqiang tribes, agree to form an alliance with the Mon patriarch? ”

Meng Chenggong, who was anxious to express Xiàn, did not have a strategic vision, but Syald did; Especially after listening to Bai Dong's analysis of the shape of the Western Regions and concentrating on studying the Zhurong Map of the Western Regions, he knew better what the Meng family should and should not do at this time. The anomaly of the Sekers made him smell danger even more.

"Mister is saying that the Sekers have a conspiracy?"

"The legend left by the teacher is amazing. Wouldn't the Sekhs be worried about the Chinese who even the steppe wolves feared? King Seke is the same as the two great tribes. They are all powerful forces in the Western Regions, they have been fighting with each other for hundreds of years, although they have hatred, they may not think of devouring each other; And your Meng family is a new force to enter the Western Regions, although you are exiled, there is a powerful Qin State behind you, you are the king of Seke, what do you think? ”

Syed sneered slightly: "The Qin people may not be able to take much advantage in riding horses on the grasslands of the Western Regions, but when it comes to building fortresses. Defending against the attacks of strong enemies is incomparable to the Zhurong of the Western Regions; If the Sekers and Shengqiang want to destroy the Meng family, the easiest way is to lure out the elite warriors of the Meng family, the mentor said, don't think that these Rong people are simple-minded savages, in fact, each of them is the most cunning hunter! ”

Meng Fang was in a cold sweat when he heard this: "Little sir, I'll take you to see my father and uncles!" ”

"Excellent! You also have to immediately inform our brothers who lived and died together. Although they are all members of the Meng family, there are also relatives who are distant and close, so let them persuade the closest clansmen and brothers, and say that I am on the order of Bai Zi to help the Meng family get out of this difficulty, and I believe in Lao Qin and Bai Zi. Just follow me! The life and death of the Meng family is at stake, and I, Child, dare not laugh in the name of my teacher. Otherwise, I won't be able to go back to Lao Qin? ”

"Mr. Xiao is our savior, and we naturally believe in you. And with the name of Baizi, more people will believe in you! I'll go right away! ”

***

Meng Chenggong sat in a simple camp tent, wearing a half-body leaf armor that only a Qin soldier would wear, but he was full of spirit.

He Meng Chenggong is finally going to succeed, and when the time comes, will Bai Zi still think about asking Syald, a yellow-haired child, to lead the Meng family's soldiers?

As long as Tuyuqiang and Seliqiang are eliminated and a passage from the Western Regions corridor to Chengkou Zhurong is opened, not only will the Meng family get benefits, but Baizi will also succeed. At that time, in Bai Zi's eyes, was he, the head of the Meng family, more trustworthy than Syrd?

King Seke said it well, after destroying the Qiang people, Huaxia and Seke are the closest brothers. With the support of the most powerful Sekers in Chengkou Zhurong, Baizi's plan to guide 'Xinjiang' will be implemented more smoothly, and the Meng family will be the biggest contributor to Lao Qin, will it be difficult to return to Lao Qin?

Meng Chenggong has dreamed of leading his clan to kneel in the ancestral ancestral hall of the grand scene, the Meng family since the rebellion of the three clans suffered a catastrophe, the clansmen were either killed, or exiled, but in his hands in the middle of the thriving, from then on his great achievements will be written into the family tree, and his lineage will naturally become the Meng family's lineage! Sure enough, if you don't die, there will be a blessing in the future, it turns out that you are this blessed person!

"Big Brother"

Meng Li, who was wearing a half-body leaf armor, walked into the account, he was the brother of Meng Chenggong's compatriot, and he was also the master of the clan who was in charge of the Meng family's warriors, and the Meng family now had four thousand elite soldiers, and he had a thousand people in his hands.

"Third brother, are all the food, clothes and armor ready? This time the alliance with the Seck army attacked Qiang, but the Seck King must not be underestimated. I want him to see the majesty of our old Qin warriors, which is related to whether my Meng family can stretch their ambitions in the Western Regions in the future and cooperate with Baizi to complete great things. ”

"Big brother, don't mention Baizi"

"Third child, you are so bold! If there was no white child, we would have already fallen to the ground, how dare you be so disrespectful! ”

"Big brother! Baizi's disciple named Sylde fled with the warriors of our clan! ”

"What!"

Meng Chenggong's face changed greatly: "How many people did this kid take away?" ”

"There are 1,500 elite soldiers, these are all the old team of Yongyi elite cavalry back then! There are also two thousand men of the clan who can go into battle and fight, and there are "

"What else, say it quickly!"

"There are also 800 war horses, 2,000 pairs of armor, weapons, bows, and arrows, countless big brothers! He also brought all the thunderbolt bags that we were reluctant to use after fighting with the Qiang people for many days, and there were only a hundred! are all the family funds left by Bai Zi for the Meng family. ”

"How could my Meng family go with him? Why did you take away so many war horses and armaments! Why didn't anyone find out! Meng Li, you sue me, sue me! "Meng Chenggong is going crazy.

"That kid saved more than 100 clansmen that day, so it's not just 100 people who trust him, but also a hard fight with the Qiang people these days, that kid wins more with less, and his prestige is rising, and the clansmen are talking in private, saying that he is a genius student of Baizi, and even Baizi has suffered from him on the battlefield back then, if the eldest brother hands over the Meng family's military power to him early, the Meng family will not suffer heavy losses, and Meng Pei is also moved by this kid, it is with his help, this kid can take away a lot of weapons."

"How can this be true? The vertical son misunderstands me, and the white son misunderstands me! ”

Meng Chenggong listened to Meng Li's narration in a daze, and his face was like ashes. The elite soldiers of the Meng family and the capital left by Bai Dong are his biggest support, but now he has been wrapped up in most of them by Silde, so what can he do to deal with the Qiang people?

"Big brother, according to the agreement, our army should join forces with King Seke tomorrow to fight against the Qiang people. Now we can't send troops? ”

"It's a fart soldier! Do you want my people to defeat the enemy with their fists? Pass on my order, all the warriors in the clan should hold the base camp, and all the people who went out to raise cattle should also come back, and it is only right to ensure that the camp is not lost. ”

Although Meng Chenggong was confused, he was not stupid enough to go home, and naturally understood the law of the jungle on the grasslands of the Western Regions; Now that half of the Meng family's strength has been taken away by Syrd, let alone the Qiang people, maybe the Saike King, who was originally an ally, will have the intention of annexing the Meng family (to be continued......

PS: Ps: Because of Mr. Yingzheng's evil act of burning books, the historical record of Zhurong in the Western Regions was only from the Han Dynasty, and now we can only infer from the research of some later archaeologists that the ethnic groups of the Western Regions at that time, such as the recognized Qiang tribes, as well as the more powerful Sai people at that time, that is, the Xixu people, and the Western Regions Zhurong is actually a tribe and a new nation differentiated from the Sai and Qiang tribes. Their footprints spread all over the north and south of the Altai Tianshan Mountains in West Asia and Central Asia, and they were broken by the Dayue clan in the Western Han Dynasty and moved westward, which infers that before the Qin and Han dynasties, the Cypriots had a strong influence in Xinjiang.
