Late at night.

Zhang Mai was awakened by the sound of the Hui people's attack again.

Compared with the frontier soldiers, urban people are still relatively sensitive, and at this time, Zhang Mai could not sleep whenever he wanted - he could rest at any time to replenish his body, which was also a kind of battlefield element, but Zhang Mai could not sleep again after waking up in the middle of the night.

After the Hui people retreated, the night became very quiet and quiet again.

The person is not moving, but the mind is flying.

Suddenly I felt a little homesick.

Although I knew that I had strayed into a certain era, and I was afraid that it would be difficult to go back in this life, I thought of "home" and naturally faced the east.

"The more the south branch of the bird's nest, the fox will be the first to die."

Even if it is separated by thousands of years, the homeland of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River in the East is still haunting, even though the ancient technology cannot be compared with the modern city, but the social ecology of the Central Plains should be more suitable for their own survival than here......

"If you have the chance, can you go back?"

Three watches.

"Envoy, haven't slept yet? Guo Linggong please. ”

Zhang Mai didn't sleep well last night, and today he was tired for another day, and he was tired at this time, and he really wanted to sleep well, but the ten soldiers who accompanied him jumped up when they heard it, so Zhang Mai didn't want to jump up quickly, and followed the herald to see Guo Shidao.

In a large room in the center of the new Broken Leaf City, the lights were bright, and Zhang Mai found that the lighting in this city was not candles, not torches, but oil lamps.

"Your Excellency," there were more than a dozen people gathered in the room, Guo Luo, Yang Yi, and Guo Fen were all inside, Zhang Mai looked over, and saw that these people were all generals who rushed to the forefront during the daytime battle, and when they saw him, they all got up and stood up to greet him—not only because Zhang Mai was a "special envoy", but also because Zhang Mai's appearance during the day had won their respect.

Led by Guo Shidao and Yang Dingguo, they invited Zhang Mai to the chair in the middle, "Please sit." ”

"This ...... Don't dare, don't dare ”

After two days of fierce fighting, Zhang Mai appreciated the horror of the war, and he also had respect for these dozen generals who dared to risk death to charge.

But Guo Shidao still invited him to take a seat, and said to everyone in the room: "Although everyone should have heard of Zhang Gongzi's identity, but I haven't had time to formally introduce it to you in the past two days, and now I will solemnly introduce you to everyone: This is the envoy from Chang'an, Zhang Mai Zhang Gongzi." ”

All the generals saluted together and said, "I've seen the envoy Zhang Gongzi!" ”

Zhang Mai hurriedly got up and learned from them to perform a Tang military salute: "Everyone is polite." ”

He noticed that these generals showed a look of joy on their faces when they saw that they were not putting on a show.

"Originally, Shidao wanted to wait for the enemy to retreat, and then put out the incense case, please come out with the holy decree and a new fish talisman, and the edict was read out by the Qin Cha in front of the whole city's military and civilians, but now it ......" Guo Shidao took out the holy decree and the fish talisman, and handed it back to him along with Zhang Mai's backpack: "Zhang Gongzi, you put away this holy decree and fish talisman, and when there is a chance in the future, we will rearrange the incense case to receive the decree." He also called Guo Fen: "Fen'er, quickly take Zhang Gongzi into the secret passage." ”

Zhang Mai was stunned: "Secret Dao? What secret passage? Why do you want to enter the secret passage? ”

"Zhang Gongzi, you asked." Yang Dingguo said: "We have a secret passage in the west of the city leading into the mountains west of the city, and there is a hidden village in the mountain. Just hide until the Hulu disperses......"

"Wait, why do you want to hide until the Hulu disperses?" Zhang Mai interrupted Yang Dingguo.

"This ...... Alas, Zhang Gongzi, don't ask again! ”

"No way!" Zhang Mai said: "If you don't make it clear, I won't leave!" He paused, a flash flashed in his mind, and asked, "Is it that the broken leaf can't hold it?" ”

Guo Shidao and Yang Dingguo glanced at each other, and Yang Dingguo nodded.

"But I don't think the Hu people have gained the upper hand in the past two days, although they still have a thousand cavalry to be dispatched, but our two or three hundred reserve troops, aren't they useless?"

Seeing that he insisted on figuring it out, otherwise he would not leave, Guo Shidao said: "Okay, anyway, there is still a little time, so I will tell the envoy about the shape, but after making it clear, the envoy must leave." ”

"You speak first."

The room was quiet for a while, the situation in the Western Regions was complicated, and it was not possible to explain it clearly in a few words, Guo Shidao seemed to be thinking about how to tell it-

"The remnants of our Datang people left in the Western Regions have really had a hard time these years. Since the four towns were conquered one after another, the east of the Green Mountains was invaded and occupied by the Hui and Tubo, and if they stayed there, they had to resist if they were not slaves, and if they failed to resist, they would end up being slaughtered; The west of the Green Ridge was occupied by the Great Eclipse, and the lord of the Great Eclipse Country here gave us three orders: the first is the ban on martial arts, that is, it is strictly forbidden for all Tang people under his rule to practice martial arts and possess weapons; The second is the order to change the surname, which is to ask all of us Tang people to change the surname of our ancestors and use the surname of the Hu people; The third is the order of destroying the ancestors, the big cannibals believe in the Heavenly Sect, they say that we worship our ancestors what kind of idolatry, so we want to destroy the god card, we are not allowed to worship the ancestors, but can only believe in their true gods, otherwise we will be killed! ”

The first order doesn't need to be explained, Zhang Mai can understand that it is to weaken the resistance of the Tang people, as for the second and third orders, he thought about it and understood, and shouted: "These Hu Lu are really vicious, they do this to make the remnants of the Tang Dynasty forget their ancestors, and even forget that they are the descendants of Yan and Huang!" ”

In the long run, after only a few hundred years, it will be able to completely erase the influence and traces left by China in this region, and turn this region into a place of complete transformation!

"yes." Yang Dingguo said: "In fact, there were a lot of remnants left in the territory of the Anxi Protectorate in the Tang Dynasty, although the four towns fell one after another, but they were not killed, because of the scattered branches, there was a period of time when the population even increased, plus the mixed-race people and soldiers of all ethnic groups who identified with our Tang Dynasty, the number was still considerable, but after the three bans were issued, some of the children of the Han family could not hold on, and those who changed their surnames changed their surnames, and those who destroyed the sect destroyed the sect, and married the Persians, Zhaowu people and even the Hui people, and slowly became Hu, and the main trunk fell, and the clans were scattered. Of course, there are also some children of the Han family who would rather die than forget their ancestors and turn their backs on Huaxia, these people are very miserable, some of them were directly slaughtered, and some of them became their workers and serfs......"

Zhang Mai remembered the scene in the mirage, thinking about what happened to the remnants of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, his chest was boiling, his hands were clenched into fists, and he hit several cases hard! I thought to myself: "The country still has to be strong, and then we can talk about anything else, otherwise the people will not even be able to save their lives, and it will be an idle matter to be insulted and humiliated." ”

"Of course, there are still some people who are also unwilling to surrender, and they are lucky not to be slaughtered, and they are not willing to be slaves, it is our group of people......" Guo Shidao pointed around the house: "After we fell in the four towns, the towns will scatter the soldiers, and our group still has a small military town in the valley near Shule, and was later discovered by Hu Lu, and it was really impossible to hold it, so he migrated step by step, he wanted to go back to the Central Plains, but the road to the east could not go, so he had to see one step at a time, just to go to the place where the Hu people were weak, but the result was to go more and more west, Hundreds of people fled to this place beyond the reach of the people, in this almost isolated place, from generation to generation, generation to generation, relying on the skills and military system handed down by the ancestors, while diverting river water to irrigate the fields, while herding horses and sheep, while building weapons, while training soldiers, trying to maintain this broken leaf city, not only resisting Hulu, but also hearing that there are still Tang people who have not forgotten their ancestors, so they tried to take them over. ”

Life here is undoubtedly extremely difficult, but you can still keep your surname, language and culture. Hearing this, Zhang Mai's respect for these descendants of the Tang Army deepened by three points, and he was afraid that he might not have the courage and perseverance like them.

Guo Shidao took out a very rough map with no concept of scale at all, and pointed it out to Zhang Mai: "The Broken Leaf City where we are now is located in the upper reaches of the Broken Leaf River, down the Broken Leaf River in the southeast, and in the area of Atami is where our old Broken Leaf City is located, the poet Immortal Li Bai was born here, but the old Broken Leaf has been destroyed, and it has now been renamed Bara Shagun, which has become the base camp of the Hui peopleIt was also my old frontier in the Tang Dynasty, but now it has fallen into the hands of the Persians who believe in the Heavenly Sect, and they established the Samanid Dynasty there, and if you go southwest, you have to pass through a large wasteland to reach the black-clothed ......."

The Uighurs established a separatist dynasty in Barasagon, which Western historians call the Qarakhanid Dynasty, and the Black-clothed Great Food is the Arab Empire Abbasid Dynasty, which was originally one of the two major empires that could stand side by side with the Tang Dynasty, but now it has also declined and split, and the Samanid Dynasty is one of the regimes that came out of the Black-clothed Great Food, and its strength is extremely powerful.

The shape of the Western Regions is complicated, and most of the ethnic names and place names mentioned by Guo Shidao are unfamiliar to Zhang Mai, and at this time, his mind is swollen when he listens, and he can barely figure out that this new Broken Leaf City is just located at the northwest pole of the Hui people's forces, and is located outside the northeast pole of the black-clothed Great Food, and there is still a long distance between the south and the Samanid Dynasty, the separatist regime of the Black-clothed Great Food Empire, and it can be said that it is just in the blind spot position of the major forces.

"The Western Regions is already a border wasteland, and this is a border waste within a border wasteland, and even the Hui people have not cared much about it in the past few decades, so we can survive until now, but maybe it is our four activities in the past few years that have attracted their attention and have been targeted by them. There are more than 2,000 cavalry, even if we can resist it, but since they have discovered this place, the follow-up soldiers and horses will be endless, and the Hu Lu are very afraid that my Tang Dynasty will revive its prestige in the Western Regions, so it is bound to kill us all! If 2,000 people can't beat the broken leaves, they will send 20,000 people, and if they can't beat 20,000 people, 100,000 people will come! There are more than 100,000 Hui people in Barasagon who control the strings, and we can't resist it no matter what. In short, the end of this city may be approaching......"

Speaking of this, Guo Shidao's face couldn't help but show pathos, but the gloom only lasted for a short while, and was immediately replaced by pride: "But I, a Tang boy, would rather die standing than kneel and live!" Fen'er! ”

"In!" Guo Fen stepped out of the ranks, his body was straight, his posture was heroic, and he did not lose his man.

"Together with Tang Renxiao, you, escort Zhang Gongzi into the secret passage!"

Zhang Mai shouted: "I entered the secret passage, what about you? ”

"Special envoy, though the village in the mountains is secretive, if all of us go missing together, it will arouse their suspicions, and if the scouts are out, within a month, Hu Lu will still find our traces—the result will be that all of us will not be able to escape. But if we defend the city to the death, if we hold it, it will be the best--even if it is finally lost, and Hu Lu sees that we are resisting fiercely and living with the city, he may not think that there are still fish in the mountains that have slipped through the net. You will have a good chance of surviving. Guo Shidao waved his hand: "Special envoy, Hugh is delaying any longer!" Let's get out quickly, I guess tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the Hui people will launch a real attack, and when it comes to life and death, if you want to get away without leaving a trace, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. ”

Zhang Mai felt an impulse in his heart, almost wanting to say: "I will stay and live and die with you!" If he was a few years younger, or when he had just entered college or high school, this sentence might have blurted out, but after entering the society for a few years, it has changed a little, and the plot of sacrificing his life in martial arts novels is already difficult to move him, and the thought of staying is likely to die, and the chance of survival in the secret passage will be greatly improved, Zhang Mai was silent.

"These people have nothing to do with me, although they are compatriots...... But there are more than a billion of my compatriots, and if you count the 5,000-year history, I'm afraid there will be tens of billions, so I can't take care of every compatriot, right? Well, although retreating at this time is a little unheroic, it is still the most important thing to save your own life. Hero? I'm not a hero, I'm just a citizen who doesn't even count as a fart. ”

There are always times when we are cowardly, there are always times when we cower, but when we retreat to the point where there is no way back, we can only rise up!

The first ** is coming!
