Accompanied by the desolate and solemn music, the Meng family completed the last ancestor worship ceremony in the Qin State. Maybe this is not the last time, but they can't know when they will be able to return to Lao Qin and their hometown; At least some of them will never return, they will die in a foreign land, and it would be best if they could erect a desolate tomb in the Western Regions, which would be a hundred times better than being the food of the wolf's belly.

The patriarch of the Meng family has been killed by Wei Ying on the bank of the Weishui River, and the newly elected patriarch led everyone to worship their ancestors and guided everyone to worship again. More than 10,000 members of the Meng family bowed down solemnly, although they did not call out the name of the worshipper, but everyone knew that this time it was Bai Zuogen, not the 'generous and benevolent' king. The Meng family can still retain some bloodline, all thanks to Bai Zuo's more! It was he who saved the Meng family under Wei Ying's butcher's knife, if it weren't for him, it was impossible to imagine that Yingqu Liang, who wholeheartedly supported Wei Ying's change, would suddenly have a kind heart.

Being exiled to the Western Regions is already the best result, at least you don't have to die immediately, and Bai Zuo has worked hard to make sure that the Meng family can survive better in the Western Regions, and he sent ten and a half people-high white stones, all of which are white and flawless, like beautiful jade; This was just transported from Lantian, and in order to catch up with the Meng family into the Western Regions, it is said that four or five horses were exhausted to death. The white stone is the most admired thing of the Qiang people, the Qiang people believe that if they insert a small white stone into the field, they will get a bumper harvest in the coming year, and they will be inserted into the grassland, and the water and grass will be abundant in the coming year, and these ten white stones will become the most valuable gift at a critical moment, and the opportunity to buy the life of the Meng family from the hands of the Qiang people!

In addition to Bai Shi, Bai Zuo also specially made 300 yaoqin for the Meng family, and the academy student named Yi Ersan also specially taught the children of the Meng family Shanle a new song. It's called "New Western Regions". You only need to listen to it once. Such a melody can quickly calm down the most bloodthirsty people, and even eliminate the killing intent; And the Zhurong of the Western Regions is precisely the one who loves music the most, and the Meng family once had slaves from the Western Regions, who seem to have been born with a sense of music and dance.

Music knows no borders, especially for the ethnic groups of Xin~Xinjiang, in addition to pastures and cattle and sheep, dance and music are almost the whole of their lives; Bai Dong believes that a good concert will make people remove their guard and quickly accept each other, and he also believes that these 300 yaoqin can save the lives of 3,000 or more people in the Meng family.

'We are a good place in Xinjiang'. He only hummed this popular piece of music in later generations, and Yi Ersan's eyes lit up as if he had found a treasure, and then composed a tune; Bai Dong is not wrong, music knows no era, no borders, people in the 21st century can listen to the song 'Guangling San' and 'Ambush on all sides' with great interest, who said that people in this era can't appreciate 'our good place in Xinjiang'? This kind of music with a national brand will definitely make the Western Regions Zhurong love, with love, shouldn't the killing be reduced?

Yi Ersan is very dedicated, and the children of the Meng family are also very serious in their studies, and they are all well-educated children of the nobility. Naturally, I can feel Bai Dong's hard work from it; For the sake of their group of traitorous people, Bai Zi was so attentive. How can people not be moved? I want to cry, but I can't cry, they know that the real hardship is still to come, and the tears should be left for those family warriors who are going to sacrifice for the Meng family; I want to say thank you, but I feel that the word 'thanks' can't be spoken, and great grace has always been a mood, and you don't need to say it with your mouth.

But Meng Chenggong thought about it for a long time, and decided to kowtow to Bai Dong three times to say thank you. He is the person with the highest rank and prestige in the Meng family's Pang clan, if it weren't for his background, I'm afraid that Meng Shuangcheng's position would still be done by him. To Lao Qin, he is actually more loyal than Meng Shuangcheng, if he had become the head of the family earlier, the Meng family might have been able to avoid this disaster, he knelt in front of Bai Dong and raised his already somewhat gray head: "Baizi, the Meng family is leaving, and it is impossible to repay Bai Zi's great kindness right now, but if the Meng family has the opportunity to return to Qin."

"Brother Meng, please get up."

Bai Dong hurriedly walked a few steps, put his hands on Meng Chenggong, and looked at his eyes seriously: "The Meng family suffered this catastrophe, it is Meng Shuangcheng's fault, not the fault of the Meng family; It's a pity that although the king has a benevolent heart, Lao Qin has the national law, and I can only do it Remember my words, if you can keep the bloodline of the Meng family, I can guarantee that the children of the Meng family will return to their hometown one day! ”

"Back home? Bai Zi didn't mean to laugh" Meng Chenggong looked at Bai Dong and grabbed Bai Dong's hand hard, but he refused to get up, just hoping to get a positive answer.

"It's not a joke, I can assure you!"

Bai Dong nodded vigorously and said, "Remember, the Meng family was exiled, not executed!" You have to insist that the motherland will not forget the king, me, Bai Chonggong, Du Sikong, and thousands of old Qin people, nor will she forget her brothers and sisters who traveled far away, let alone abandon you. The Meng family must insist! As long as you gain a firm foothold in the Western Regions, you will have the opportunity to atone for Lao Qin's meritorious service, and you will have the opportunity to return to your hometown and return to the ancestral ancestral hall! Is Brother Meng willing to trust me? ”

Meng Chenggong's eyes widened suddenly: "With Bai Zi's words, the Meng family will be relieved!" In his lifetime, Meng Chenggong must lead his clan to return to Lao Qin and return to the ancestral ancestral hall to worship his ancestors. ”

"That's fine. Brother Meng, please get up, after drinking the practice wine, I will personally lead the army with Du Sikong to 'escort' the Meng family out of Lao Qin, I still have a lot to say to you on the way, the more you write down, the greater the chance that the Meng family will return to Lao Qin."

Bai Dong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as he understood, the people of this era had a concept of home and country that later generations could not understand. The Meng family can abandon anything, but they will never abandon their ancestral ancestral hall. As soon as the ancestral ancestral hall of the Meng family is in Qin, they will only think about coming back, and they will not really betray the country.

***

At this time, the Hexi Corridor was at the peak of its life, with the snow water of the Qilian Mountains, abundant water and grass, and a mild climate, and the famous Tengger Desert was far from being formed. If it weren't for the great war a few years ago, this would still be the beautiful home of the Otsuki clan.

The war that took place a few years ago broke out between the Qiang and the Dayue clan, and ended in a draw between the two sides, after this war. The Qiang rarely entered the Hexi Corridor again. The Da Yue clan is also more 'friendly' to Lao Qin. Almost all the people of the Great Moon Clan were thankful that the Qin State did not take the opportunity to send troops to attack their great rear. The minority brothers of this era are simple and lovely, even if you offend them ten times, as long as there is a benefit, they will treat you as a friend; The Chinese people are much meaner, you should be good to him ninety-nine times, and once you are bad, you will immediately regard it as an enemy.

In fact, Lao Qin has his own considerations, and in the eyes of Lao Qin's monarchs, he has always regarded the Yiqu State, which has established state power, as a great enemy. The Dayue clan is not a problem at all, having this relatively friendly ethnic group to Lao Qin occupy the Hexi Corridor, and it can also play a buffer role, making it difficult for the fierce Qiang cavalry to directly enter Lao Qin.

The Meng family, as the former leader of the Yongyi Jingqi, even united with the Dayue clan to fight the Qiang people several times, and every time they subdued the Qiang people, they bought their furs and cattle and sheep at a low price, and if they were defeated by the Qiang people, they would immediately retract back to Lao Qin, so that the Dayue clan could bear the anger of the Qiang people. This trick has been played for hundreds of years. The Da Yue clan always thought that Lao Qin was his good friend I

The long-standing friendliness of the Da Yue clan to China made Mr. Liu Che, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, unforgettable, and the purpose of Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions was to find the Da Yue clan to discuss the plan to flank the Xiongnu. They didn't want him to go all the way to Central Asia to find the Da Yue clan who was driven away by the Huns, and they were reluctant to leave the new territory with abundant water and grass, and even forgot the hatred of their king who had been beheaded by the Huns.

Therefore, the Hexi Corridor at this time, the most dangerous thing is not the foreign race but the wolf pack, the Dayue clan people who ruled India in later generations and introduced Buddhism to China now embody the characteristics of loving peace and life, in addition to the necessary hunting, they rarely take the initiative to eliminate the wolves, and will only set up various traps outside the Tucheng where they live, and over time, the wolves are getting bigger and bigger, but they dare not rashly attack them because they have suffered a lot in the hands of the Dayue clan, As a result, outsiders and various wild animals in the Hexi corridor have become the first targets of the wolves.

The Dayue clan is different from many Rongdi in the Western Regions, their totem is not a wolf, but they will not take the initiative to hunt wolves; Zhurong in the Western Regions worships wolf totems, but they will also kill wolves that invade their cattle and sheep; As a result, a large number of wolves gathered in the Hexi Corridor, and the last time the Qiang people attacked, many Qiang warriors were killed by the wolves

Bai Dong and their team composed of 3,000 Qin troops and more than 10,000 members of the Meng family entered the Hexi Corridor and were targeted by wolves soon after, and the army fought and walked, probably in the area of Zhangye today, surrounded by wolves from five directions, and the war between humans and wolves was about to break out.

The wolves are very wise and patient, they are not in a hurry to attack, but keep howling, attracting more companions, before it gets dark, Bai Dong personally walked up to the watchtower to watch, standing on the watchtower more than a zhang high and watching, the black pressure is full of wolves, as if boundless.

It's like a terrifying fire ant colony in Africa, wolves are kings in the grasslands, and if they gather more than 100,000 of them, even an army of 10,000 people will be under pressure.

"I'm afraid there are more than 100,000"

Meng Chenggong frowned and said, "Although our camp is strong enough, if they continue to call the wolves to come, we will also be in danger." ”

He complained a little in his heart about this great benefactor of the Meng family, if it wasn't for Bai Dong ordering to throw dog blood all the way after entering the Western Regions, how could he gather such a huge wolf pack? I really don't know what this white son wants to do.

"Don't worry, everyone rest here for a few days, the more wolves come, the better. The greatest danger in the Western Regions is actually them, and if they are allowed to develop, they will become even more dangerous. If this battle can be half annihilated by the wolves of the Western Regions, it will be a great thing for both the Meng family and Lao Qin. ”

Bai Dong smiled and patted Meng Chenggong on the shoulder, turned around and went down the watchtower: "Pass the order, a torch will be burned every three feet on the wall, and a large bonfire will be raised in the center of the camp, I want the fire to soar to the sky!" The crossbowmen are on the wall, and a hungry wolf rushes over to kill them, and the corpses are not thrown back to the wolves, but are piled up in the center of the camp. Listen clearly, don't throw the carcass of the wolf back into the pack, that will only prematurely stimulate the wildness of the pack" (to be continued......
