Text Chapter 70 Entering Xianbei
One is the remnant of He Ruobu, and the other is the son of the Gaomen clan, there is a huge gap in identity, and the two meet, and Mars collides with the earth.
After the amazing spear and knife skills, the two returned to the most primitive military killing methods, and every knife and shot was extremely concise and deadly. The martial arts in the army are different from the kung fu of the rivers and lakes, the law is strict and never fancy, and strives to be the fastest, most accurate, most ruthless and most killing. The two of them were a little red-eyed.
Ren Shaoqing looked at the two gray-faced people in the city, frightened, and hesitated to let the deputy envoy beside him stop, but he didn't dare to speak after sobbing for a while.
Xie Shence was also hovering between watching and stopping, and he was a little undecided.
The two people in the city have obviously fought real fire, swords and guns are desperate. Xie Shence decided to look at it for a while.
He Ruoque had a stump in his heart, when his sister went back to the grassland to worship her ancestors and prepare for marrying into the Xie family, she actually heard the news that Xie Shenwei was going to marry Princess Wanting, which made him very angry. He needs to vent, he came all the way single-handedly and has a high fighting spirit, plus he is an opponent with Xie Shenwei, there is no reason not to have a good time.
What's more, Xie Shenwei can stay awake at all times.
Sure enough, after more than ten combinations, Xie Shenwei slashed away from He Ruoque with a knife, and then stopped.
He Ruoque also put away the gun, and the two looked at each other speechlessly and walked into the city. It's like nothing happened before.
Xie Shence was surprised by the tacit understanding between the two.
Xie Shence was surprised, suspicion flashed in Bu Liugu Qiyan's eyes, and Ren Shaoqing breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Xie Shence saw the strange color in Bu Liugu's eyes.
In the simple barracks, the doctor was cleaning the wounds of Xie Shenwei and He Ruoque. Both of them were slightly injured, and they wanted to bandage it casually, but Xie Shence insisted on treating it with caution.
He Ruoque came alone, and there were blood stains on his body, and the big gun exuded a fishy smell of blood clotting, Xie Shence didn't want Xie Shenwei to be infected. I also don't want He Ruoque to have a sequelae.
No one understood the lethality of tetanus in ancient armies better than him. Even if the knives and guns of the two are not ordinary steel.
While Xie Shenwei and He Ruoque were bandaging, Xie Shence called Buliu Gu Qiyan outside the tent.
Xie Shence said: "General Qiyan, please be sure to keep it secret. ”
Buliu Gu Qiyan was stunned at first, then ecstatic, and then serious, and said: "Don't worry, little marquis, you know what to do." ”
At this point, Buliu Gu Qiyan finally affirmed that the person who fought against Xie Shenwei was the remnant of He Ruobu. I couldn't help but feel excited.
Buliu Gu and He Ruo are the two parts of Xianbei. And Bu Liugu is a Xianbei surname, with a higher status than He Ruo's, and is one of the eight old Xianbei departments.
The old eight departments of Xianbei have long since declined, and the eight surnames of Qiu Muling, Dugu, Buliugu, He Lai, He Lou, Bexi, Mi Xi, Yu Chi, and He Ni are now only the Dugu clan has a place. The rest of the surnames are either extinct, or sinicized very deeply, and have descended to Qin and returned to Yan, and now in Xianbei, there are not many old tribes.
Step 6 Gu clan descended to Jin, accepted the Jin country of Sinicization deeper, most of the people have changed their surname to Lu, scattered in various places in the Great Jin Dynasty, Bu Liu Gu Qiyan is one of the traditional preservation of the more complete Chinese Xianbei patriarch, was entrusted with the important task by Xie Yi, guarding Huangsha Pass.
Bu Liugu and He Ruo are brother tribes, and there has always been a tradition of intermarriage, and the relationship between the two clans has always been extremely close. After Bu Liugu returned to the Jin Kingdom, this connection was not severed, and it continued until He Ruo's clan was suddenly wiped out.
A few months after the extermination of the He Ruo clan, Bu Liugu beggar Yan received a report from the caravan that He Ruobu no longer existed.
Qi Yan was very sad for a while. But today he met the survivor of He Ruobu, and this survivor is very good at kung fu, so he is very pleased.
Qi Yan naturally understood the meaning of Xie Shence's words, since He Ruobu was wiped out by lightning, then it must not be an ordinary conflict such as fighting for water sources and grasslands, but about some secrets. If the news of Heruobu and survivors leaks out, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.
In fact, after He Ruobu was wiped out, Qi Yan took the lead in participating in the battle of Xie Yi to annihilate one of the thousand people of the royal court.
Xie Yi's purpose is very clear, since it is what the Xianbei people want, then they must not be allowed to get it, and since the Xianbei people's hand to find things has crossed the line, then cut it off.
Xie Yi's military deployment disrupted the search of the Xianbei royal court's cavalry, which really helped the He Ruo brothers and sisters who fled everywhere.
At this point, the doubts in Qi Yan's previous eyes disappeared. He is Xie Yi's personal commander of Huangsha Pass, facing Xianbei's first line of defense, naturally he will not be a dumb person, these things can be understood as soon as he thinks about them.
Since the marshal has already been deployed, he doesn't have many hands. And depending on the situation, the survivor of this brother clan has been appreciated by the marshal, and has an excellent relationship with the prince and the little marquis.
After the bandaging was completed, Xie Shence asked Qi Yanping to retreat everyone, and after Qi Yan also went down, Xie Shenwei asked, "Where is the finch?" ”
He Ruoque sneered, "You still have the face to ask?" ”
Xie Shenwei said: "She is my person after all, and you can't stop it." ”
Xie Shence was dumbfounded, amazing, worthy of being handsome, when did you do it?
He Ruoque said: "She is still in the grassland, very safe." ”
"The grassland is the most unsafe place, don't forget how you got wiped out."
When He Ruoque heard the word extermination, the hatred in his eyes flashed.
"She's in the Flowside."
"Do you want to kill her?" Xie Shenwei stood up abruptly and shouted.
Daba City, the capital of Liusai Prefecture, is a stronghold of the Erli people, so the entire Liusai Prefecture may be full of Erli people's eyeline, and He Ruoque is indeed very dangerous in Liusai State at this time.
"I came back first, just to ask you for clarification. The caravan was still behind, and she was not in danger. It's up to you to figure out how you want to explain it to my sister. ”
Xie Shence saw the angry conversation between the two people, and his heart was really angry. Then he said, "Where is she now?" ”
He Ruoque said: "It should be almost at the border pass, there is a Huai merchant caravan to escort it, and it is okay to be safe." ”
After that, there was no word all the way.
Due to the inexplicable addition of a person in Huangsha Pass, the atmosphere of the mission changed, and the mission of more than 1,000 people, which had been happily advancing in the past, was now quiet. Ren Shaoqing even gave full play to the traditional virtues of respecting the old and loving the young, and chatted with Lao Gu every day, and never went to thank Shence to meet the horse. This made Xie Shence quiet for many days. The entire mission also found a subtle change in the atmosphere in the upper leadership, and therefore somewhat depressing. Many people spoke in a low voice, and they didn't dare to come out, for fear of being picked up by the horse master who had a dead face all day long.
For two days in a row, the mission walked through the desert and began to enter the steppe, but for two days it did not encounter a single tribe except for two groups of rangers, and not a single figure was seen.
However, the farther Xie Shenwei went, the more relaxed his expression became, and occasionally began to gallop on the grassland. The nerves of the group finally relaxed a little.
This is a buffer zone between the Jin Kingdom and the Xianbei people. Xianbei's southward march and Jin's northward counterattack all need to pass through here. This road, with the Taihang Mountains in the east and the desert in the west, is the only road that can connect the north and the south. It is called Jidao by the Xianbei people, which means the road to the market. The white point is the easiest road to plunder.
And as you go further and further north, more and more meadows appear in front of you. On the third day, in a place with abundant water and grass, the mission set up camp.
That night, Xie Shence found Xie Shenwei.
"Brother, someone is following us, the report of the Iron Guard said that they have been eyeing us since noon today."
Xie Shenwei said lightly: "On this road, there are horse bandits everywhere, there are so many of us, it would be strange if we couldn't attract attention."
He Ruoque held a bowl of broth, and said while drinking: "I came all the way, and I only encountered a very small number of sporadic horse bandits, ordinary horse bandits, who did not dare to move large caravans. Moreover, you are a friendly mission. ”
The three of them gathered around the fire and fell silent.
Xie Shence suddenly said: "Further north from here, it is the sphere of influence of the Duan Division."
He Ruoque's expression suddenly became much more solemn. He already knew about Xie Shenwei's festival with Duan Bu.
A sneer appeared on the corner of Xie Shenwei's mouth, waving his hand to beckon a herald, and said, "Put away the banner, put traps around the perimeter, and patrol carefully at night."
Xie Shence smiled: "Hmm, that's a good idea."
He Ruoque was puzzled: "Why do you want to remove the flag?"
Xie Shenwei glanced at He Ruoque lightly and did not answer.
He Ruoque was immediately annoyed by Xie Shenwei's eyes.
"What do you mean?!"
"It's not interesting."
"You're interesting!"
"I'm not interested in you."
"What do you mean by that?"
"It's not interesting for you to ask."
“……”
"Alright, alright! Don't make any noise, just mean it. Xie Shence hurriedly set up the two of them.
After appeasing He Ruoque, Xie Shence said softly: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just to try that they have the guts."
He Ruoque was puzzled, "If it's really Duanbu, if I attack you, I'm afraid it will be troublesome." After all, not all Xianbei people are willing to be friendly. What are you going to do? ”
Xie Shence smiled: "You can understand that this is a 'mockery' of the Duan Division, of course, the premise is that the horse bandits that may appear are the cavalry of the Duan Division." If it is really Duanbu, then they know that they have been exposed, and the act of collecting the flag is the biggest insult and provocation to them. My eldest brother and I have already formed a bond with Duanbu, and I am not afraid that they will not come. But if they come, it will be difficult for the Xianbei Royal Court to explain. ”
"How can you guarantee that you will reach the Xianbei Royal Court alive?"
"Don't be so crow-mouthed, I'm sure I'm not going to die. It should have been yesterday, 3,000 iron cavalry and 2,000 Mo sword troops assembled at Huangsha Pass. Duan only dares to play small actions, but he doesn't dare to make big moves. ”
"It turns out that Xie Dashuai has already made arrangements for the safety of the two of you. No wonder you're so confident. But what if the section is not afraid of deterrence? ”
Xie Shence smiled: "Then it depends on whether Duan Pishan has the courage to play a big ticket."
Xie Shence looked at He Ruoque with a radiant expression, "Two thousand people at most!" Duan Pishan only dared to move two thousand people at most! If there is one more person, I will not be surnamed Xie! ”
He Ruoque was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "If it were me, I would only need five hundred cavalry to break through this camp, how could you survive the impact of two thousand cavalry?"
Xie Shenwei said: "If you can't do it, it doesn't mean that our brothers can't do it."
"Maniac."
"Are you scared?"
"The last thing I'm afraid of is killing, if someone comes tonight, we'll compare."
"Okay, Bi!"
Xie Shence said: "I said, you two won't even compare with this, right?"
Xie Shenwei and He Ruoque stopped talking.
Then the herald passed on Xie Shence's arrangement, and the camp quickly turned off the lights.
