Chapter 454: Shule is besieged
readx;
Walking in the streets and alleys of Shule City, feeling the strong exotic customs around him, Zhao Yun's heavy mood was slightly relieved. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Not long ago, Zhao Yun and many army commanders were weak and wronged, and finally figured out the current situation. In fact, at this moment, the major legions nominally have to obey Jia Xu's command, but since these corps commanders knew that after taking over from Wen Chou's general, Zhao Yun, they suddenly "saw the wind and turned the rudder".
Who is Zhao Yun? That's the first general in Northern Xinjiang!
And Wen Chou is not as good as Zhao Yun in any aspect.
Even the strongest side of Wen Chou, martial arts, is not Zhao Yun's opponent.
And Zhao Yun has Liu Tai's edict in his hand.
Can't you tell which is more important?
In fact, it can't be said that the commanders of the army see the wind and steer the rudder, but that Mr. Jia is too mysterious, and the dragon sees the head and the end all day long, if the war starts, Mr. Jia has not yet formulated a perfect plan to retreat from the enemy, then, wouldn't the Tianci army in Shule City have to defend to the death?
Defending to the death, not the style of the God-given army!!
On top of that, these legion commanders didn't even know if Mr. Jia was in the city!
In this way, it is logical for Zhao Yun to take over the military power.
The so-called priority of military orders was deliberately put behind the minds of these corps commanders.
Of course, even if the legion commanders "abandoned" Mr. Jia, at the banquet with Zhao Yun, this person was still sought after, and his ability was fully affirmed, and Mr. Jia was almost like a ghost in the hearts of these people.
Zhao Yun, who was amazed, could only remain silent and wait for Mr. Jia to appear. Zhao Yun believed that since Wen Chou could issue such a military order, he must have great confidence in Mr. Jia, otherwise, Wen Chou would not be so impulsive.
"Zilong, although most of the people in this Shule city are foreigners, most of them now regard themselves as Han Chinese, I don't know why?" Ma Chao walked beside Zhao Yun and asked.
In private, Ma Chao called Zhao Yunduo Zilong. Of course, this is also Zhao Yun's request, after all, the name of the general is very inappropriate, especially now that he is in a foreign country.
Frowning, Zhao Yun didn't reply immediately, but glanced at a few natives from the Western Regions who were kneeling on the side of the road begging not far away, and said lightly: "These people are natives from the Western Regions, and they think they know better about the recent situation than us, and they also have a little less officialdom in their mouths."
In fact, the situation in the Western Regions, the army commanders have already told Zhao Yun about the situation, but because of the situation in the Western Regions, Zhao Yun doesn't believe these army leaders a little. After all, when the lower officials are in front of the upper officials, most of the time they say good things, why doesn't Zhao Yun, who has served in Northern Xinjiang for nearly ten years, not understand?
"This old man, these dry foods are for you, you can eat some with your granddaughter first." I saw Ma Chao take out a few pancakes from his arms with an amiable look, and sent the pancakes to the old and young beggars and said. Northern Xinjiang stipulates that all those who are engaged in military duties, as long as they are not in the army, must carry a certain amount of dry food to prepare for emergencies. After all, people are iron and steel, and if something happens, it's too late to eat, and a little pancake can at least fill your stomach.
In fact, as Ma Chao and Zhao Yun, they don't need to bring any food and coins when walking in the major counties and counties of northern Xinjiang, because all their consumption is borne by the government, and as long as they sign after consumption, the owner of the store can go to the government for reimbursement.
Well, but the situation in the Western Regions is different right now. Although Northern Xinjiang has claimed to change the Western Regions to Xizhou, it has not actually made too many arrangements. Zhao Yun and Ma Chao have not been hungry along the way, and they often travel hundreds of miles, and they can't see the slightest human eye, so if they don't bring some food with them, they won't starve to death?
Bill consumption, typical bill consumption
"Thank you for this adult, little old man, I can't thank you enough." The old man's language was a bit dry, and although he spoke Chinese, there were some local dialects mixed in with it. I saw that the old man took the dry food, and the first time it was not delivered to his mouth, but put it in the mouth of a little girl lying on him.
The little girl has big eyes and is very bright. But maybe it's because of hunger, and his face looks a little bad. Seeing the old man deliver the food to her mouth, the little girl didn't eat it, shook her head and pushed the dry food to the old man's mouth.
Little girls can't talk! There were some "snibbling" sounds in his throat. For some reason, seeing the appearance of the little girl's grandfather and grandson, Ma Chao and Zhao Yun couldn't help but moisten their eyes.
A bitter smile hung on the corner of the old man's mouth, and from the little girl's eyes, the old man could see that the little girl was very hungry, and the longing look was sad. However, in order to give priority to the old man's stomach, the little girl actually endured hunger.
She's just a kid.
The little girl's skin should be very fair, even if there is a little stain on her face, it can't hide the girl's delicate and transparent touch, she looks no more than seven or eight years old, and she can faintly reveal a trace of nobility. Seeing this, Ma Chao and Zhao Yun glanced at each other, and the same thought arose in their hearts, this ancestor and grandson may also be from a certain family in the Western Regions not long ago.
"Old man, I still have it here" Seeing the grandfather and grandson pushing a pancake, Zhao Yun shook his head with a wry smile, and actually took out a very good cake wrapped in his arms. This cake looks a little different, the workmanship is very good, a bit of a pastry feel.
Since there were two cakes, the ancestors and grandchildren were naturally no longer humble, and they devoured them one after another, and the eyes that looked at Ma Chao and Zhao Yun from time to time were also full of gratitude. From the costumes of Ma Chao and Zhao Yun, the ancestors and grandchildren can see that the two are either rich or expensive, in this era of war and chaos, there are still well-wishers among the rich who are willing to give beggars, which is really a bit surprising.
Not only did the ancestors and grandchildren have an accident, but the passers-by in the aisle also cast curious glances, which were so many that even Zhao Yun and Ma Chao couldn't help but turn their heads frequently, feeling uncomfortable all over their bodies.
"Thank you two benefactors" The two cakes were eaten, and the complexion of the grandparents and grandchildren was a little better, and they were not as dead as before. Seeing that Zhao Yun and Ma Chao were still squatting in front of him and did not leave, the old man frowned, and asked a little apprehensively: "I don't know what else is going on with the two benefactors?" ”
As the saying goes, nothing is done, nothing is done, or theft!
During this period of time, the ancestors and grandsons have not encountered some evil people with evil intentions, and the ideas of these evil people are all hit on the little girl, but fortunately, Shule City is restricted by the Tianci army, and no one dares to play any tricks of robbing people on the street.
"It's not a big deal, I just want to ask why the Western Regions have changed so much, and the people in the Western Regions speak Chinese, why is this?" Ma Chao naturally noticed the worried expressions of his grandparents and grandchildren, but Ma Chao thought that he had no evil intentions, so he would not act like a wicked person.
In fact, Ma Chao is very sympathetic to his grandparents and grandchildren. Ma Chao is not a pure-blooded Han Chinese, and he has a quarter of Qiang blood in his body, but fortunately, Ma Chao has never thought that having Qiang blood is a faceless thing. And he has never been soft on dealing with the Qiang people, so he has also won the name of a Shenweitian general in the hearts of the Qiang people.
Well, repeated, of course, although Liu Tai had a prominent reputation in northern Xinjiang at that time, his reputation among the Qiang tribes in the western Tutu was not obvious, so there was nothing wrong with the Qiang people calling Ma Chao a general of Shenweitian.
And because of the existence of Ma Chao, the Qiang people rarely invaded the Han Dynasty recently, and even if they did, it was the individual action of a small tribe. From here, it can be seen how deeply Ma Chao's Shenwu left a deep influence on the Qiang people.
The old man hugged his granddaughter, looked at Ma Chao with a suspicious look, and said with a little apprehension: "Doesn't the son know? This is a military order issued by the Governor of Wen as early as a year ago, no matter what kind of people, as long as they settle in the Western Regions, then they must learn Chinese, if there is a country and a certain city that does not follow it, they will be killed! ”
"Whew"
A cold wind blew, and Ma Chao and Zhao Yun looked at each other.
The text is ugly and domineering! It's just too overbearing.
What a big project is it to forcibly require all the people in the entire Western Regions to learn Chinese? Without other questions, where do teachers who only teach Chinese come from? Is it possible to let the sergeants of the Tianci Army go to the top post?
Thinking of this, the two couldn't help but smile bitterly.
For Wen Chou, the two of them really can't help but admire it now.
But at the same time, a figure appeared in the minds of the two, and that was the mysterious Mr. Jia.
All this, in the eyes of the two, it is absolutely impossible for Wen Chou to go out alone, and Mr. Jia played a very important role in these events, and even Mr. Jia was in the real plan, and Wen Chou was just executing.
But Ma Chao and Zhao Yun couldn't figure it out, how could that Mr. Jia get Wen Chou's trust? Any thing that Bian Shuwen Chou did can be regarded as a big thing to hurt the heavens and the peace, if these are such vicious and ruthless people that Mr. Jia came up with, what kind of person is he?
"What should I do if I really don't know Chinese?" With a frown, Zhao Yun suddenly asked a question to the old man. Although Zhao Yun had heard of the relevant introductions, after all, those were said by military representatives, and Zhao Yun really found it hard to believe.
"Except for the deaf and mute, if they don't learn Chinese, they will be killed!!"
A look of hatred flashed in the old man's eyes, and the hatred for the Heavenly Army could be said to be all over the Western Regions. In today's Western Regions, it is almost impossible to find a few relatives or people whose family members did not die under this decree.
"Not long ago, it was rumored that the Governor of Wen Dadu was trying to reform the costumes of the countries in the Western Regions, and no Hu people were allowed to wear clothes other than Hanfu"
The old man broke another shocking news!
Wen Chou not only forced Hu people to learn Chinese, but also required Hu people to wear Hanfu, isn't this a bit too vicious?
But if you think about it, what Wen Chou did also makes sense.
Now that everything is over, what's the point of stopping a little more?
And if it is really like Wen Chou, the Chinese language and Hanfu are really fully implemented in the Western Regions, I am afraid that it will take a maximum of twenty years, and the Western Regions will be truly sinicized, and then the Western Regions will no longer be the Western Regions, but the real Western State of the Han Dynasty!
"What a spirit!"
Ma Chao and Zhao Yun thought of these three words at the same time in their hearts. Although Wen Chou is a bit ruthless, it can be considered for a long time, and this is a way to do it once and for all. Although the two of them are still a little unbearable in their hearts so far, they understand that everything Wen Chou did was to sinicize the Hu people of the Western Regions, and they felt a little better in their hearts.
But at the same time, the two understood another thing.
That is, what he did was the reputation of the ugly man
It's going to be a fatal blow.
A thousand hatreds and grievances in one
"Old man, you can keep these coins, go find an ordinary place, and live a few poor days, it should be about the same." got the news they wanted to know, and the two didn't want to stay longer. However, before leaving, Ma Chao still took off the money bag and secretly stuffed it into the old man's arms without passers-by paying attention.
There is not much money in the purse, and most of this money is hard currency, that is, gold and silver. At present, although the Western Regions are nominally ruled by the Northern Frontier, paper money has not yet been used in the Western Regions, so gold and silver are still the most valuable hard currency.
"This" felt the heavy small bag in his arms, the old man was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and secretly glanced left and right, and found that no one was paying attention and secretly exclaimed that it was dangerous. You must know that these gold and silver are an astronomical amount for the current grandparents and grandchildren, and if they are discovered by gangsters, then the lives of the grandparents and grandchildren will be worried.
"Thank you benefactor, thank you for your great kindness, if you can use Geeta in the future, you just need to send someone to Qiuzi City to call for it," the old man made a big salute to Ma Chao, and said in a very grateful tone. However, Ma Chao didn't say anything, just nodded lightly, and then immediately turned around and left.
In the second year of Tianxi in =============, at the beginning of June, the 420,000 rest army was encamped outside Shule City, and a column of cavalry troops occupied the major roads of Shule City, as if they wanted to eat Shule City in one go, but it really made people a little suspicious, where did the rest come from? You must know that a few years ago, more than 300,000 rest troops conquered the Western Regions and finally had no choice but to retreat.
In the second year of Tianxi, on the fifth day of the sixth month, Vologis V sent an envoy to persuade the Tianci army to surrender under the city of Shule, claiming that the battle was rested and made sufficient preparations, and if the Tianci army did not surrender, then the Tianci army would be trapped and killed in the city of Shule.
Zhao Yun's reaction was very indifferent, and he just lightly sent someone back to the messenger.
"If you want to fight, you will fight, if you don't fight, you will get out"
In the second year of Tianxi, on the sixth day of the sixth month of June, because of Zhao Yun's words, the angry Vologis V ordered an attack on Shule City. However, it is a pity that because Shule City has long been prepared, this siege, the rest of the white pig Luo did not get any benefit, but lost his troops and fled back to the camp in embarrassment.
