Update the fastest 78xs// When Wen Hao turned his head to look, he saw a red horse galloping, and the person on the horse was red like fire, with a sword in his back, and a embroidered velvet knife in his hand, heroic was Fan Lihua, Wen Hao was surprised: "Yu'er, what are you doing?"
Fan Lihua's apricot eyes glared: "Can't I come to fight?"
Wen Hao grinned and said, "Fighting is a man's business, you are a woman......"
"Hmph," Fan Lihua pursed her lips and said, "In terms of martial arts and the art of war, which of you is better than me, besides, didn't Lord Liu also organize women and children to guard Weiding City at the beginning?"
When it comes to this stubble, Wen Hao is a little discouraged, and the couple often compete at home, but he seems to be only able to beat one in strength, and the rest of the martial arts and the art of war are indeed less defeats and more victories, but Wen Hao has no choice but to look at Liu Ziqiu with his eyes
"Hahahaha, when others go into battle, father and son soldiers, you will fight, little husband and wife," Liu Ziqiu knew that Wen Hao was more than brave and lackluster, and waved his hand, "These five thousand jīng soldiers will be handed over to you, but don't bear Liu's trust."
Fan Lihua glanced at the stunned Wen Hao proudly and said, "Don't give the order to set off soon."
In fact, Fan Lihua hurried over, on the one hand, she was worried about Wen Hao, and on the other hand, she also remembered Liu Ziqiu's words, and wanted to find out the true situation of Yang Guang's death, of course, she would not say the second reason
……
In autumn, the fields are golden, white cotton is like snow, sorghum is like fire, heavy ears of grain are bent and the straw is opened, the wind and rain are smooth, and it is another harvest year
Tanjiagou villagers by the Xichuan River are busy in the field early in the morning, and the villagers have put down their work one after another, sitting in the fields to drink water and eat dry food, pulling the family routine, this is a rare rest time in a day's work, and after half an hour, everyone will have to step into the field again and be busy until dark, compared to the turmoil of the Central Plains, this small village located in the northwest border seems much quieter and peaceful
Suddenly, the earth under their feet trembled, the west was dusty, the sound of horses' hooves, Xiping belonged to the border county, and it bordered Tuyuhun in the past tense, and was often harassed by nomadic tribes, when their lives were threatened, the villagers would also rise up to resist, so they developed an extremely strong folk custom, some villagers have dropped the clay pot and grabbed the hoe and shovel around them, and some villagers are at a loss, because now is not the season for the nomadic tribe to attack the border
Soon, the smoke and dust over there are getting closer and closer, and the silhouette of the cavalry has shown as many as thousands of people, such a large-scale nomadic cavalry attack on the border is very rare, Rao is known for their bravery, the villagers of Tanjiagou can't help but turn pale, if the nomadic tribe within 100 people attack the border, they dare to fight, but the enemy is as many as thousands, they can only let others slaughter the fate
The cavalry soon arrived in front of them, but they only followed the main road to the east, and had no intention of disturbing the villagers, and the villagers looked at the rolling cavalry procession, and did not care about eating and working, and gathered together to discuss
"Uncle Zhu has so many people, so he is going to rob Linqiang City"
"It's hard to say, I think it's better to hurry home and pack up and take shelter in the mountains, who knows if they will pass through our village when they come back"
After listening to Uncle Zhu's words, some villagers have begun to pack up farm tools, these hoes and shovels are not only their eating guys, but also can be used as weapons for self-defense at critical moments, and suddenly they saw two horses break away from the team and go straight to the villagers, a few villagers clenched their hoes, but if the two cavalry really want to rob their property, they really dare not resist, the two nomadic cavalry is nothing, but if they bring those thousands of people over, their whole village is not enough, and others stuff their teeth
At this moment, the two cavalrymen had already arrived, and one of them jumped off his horse and fell to his knees with a "plop", and said loudly: "Daddy, I thought I would never see you again."
The sharp-eyed villager shouted: "Second Brother Ma, isn't this your third son?"
"San'er, it's really San'er, you're still alive," the father and son hugged and cried bitterly
The other cavalryman hesitated on the horse for a moment and jumped down, but knelt in front of Uncle Zhu, it turned out that these two cavalrymen were taken away by Xianbei a few years ago, and the villagers had already been treated as dead, who would have thought that they would come back alive today
Uncle Zhu suddenly pushed his son angrily and said angrily: "Dog baby, how can you help me abuse my son, I don't have your son."
"Uncle Zhu's baby is good when he comes back, it's good to come back," the dog baby is Uncle Zhu's only son, and the villagers came to persuade each other when they saw this
The dog baby wiped a handful of tears and said proudly: "Daddy's child didn't help to abuse the child, and he came back to help the lord fight the world."
Another villager came over and asked, "Dog, where are you Brother Tiezhu?"
Without waiting for the dog baby to answer the three sons of the Ma family, the god said: "Brother Tiezhu, he was beaten to death by those Xianbei beasts last year."
There are many villagers around to ask about their relatives, to those nomadic tribes as slaves is an extremely miserable thing, not enough to eat, not warm, and often beaten and scolded, thinking of that experience, Ma San'er and Zhu Gouwa are gloomy, when Tan Jiagou was taken away by the Xianbei people, a total of more than 20 boys and girls, most of them have been abused and died, and a few girls are married, stay in Weiding City, but today only Ma San'er and Zhu Gouwa two
Ma Erge pulled his son and said, "San'er go home with me and go home to you, I must be happy to see you."
"Dad, no," Ma San'er shook his hand and said, "The military discipline is strict, this is the elder of the thousand husbands, knowing that our two hometowns are here, so he let us come back to see, if there is no lord to liberate us, who knows if the two of us can survive this winter, we will go to chase the team, and we will never be deserters."
"Don't desert from us," Zhu Gouwa over there also made a ruthless move, jumped on the horse, and whipped up with Ma San'er to chase the team
The villagers stood at the head of the field and watched the two young figures go farther and farther away, gradually turning into small black dots, until they disappeared, and then the discussion began again
"Uncle Zhu, the third son of your family, which army did you join?"
Some villagers suddenly realized: "Of course it's the army of the Great Sui, why have we forgotten it, now there is no Tuguhun, and that is our Great Sui's Xihai County."
Another villager said: "No, from here to the east is the land of the Great Sui, who are they going to fight?"
"Now the world is chaotic, I heard that Longxi and Chang'an each have an emperor."
"Forget it, let's hurry up and work, those things are not for us ordinary people to think about"
A few families are happy and a few are sad, Uncle Zhu and Second Brother Ma are naturally excited and crying, and those villagers whose relatives can never come back can only lament the bitterness of life, but the deceased is gone, and the living still need to face the reality, but the daily work is no matter what, and the passionate horn soon sounded again in the field, but there was a little more sadness and vicissitudes in the voice
……
Linqiang City is the westernmost county seat of Xiping County, ten miles north of the county seat is the Jinshan of the Chinese army stationed in the former rì Yang Guang, here was once a strategic town of the Great Sui, the county built more than a dozen large warehouses to pile up the grain and grass needed by the army, since Yang Guangxi conquered the status of Linqiang City is not as important as it was before, Yu culture and support Yang Yu after successively pumping the garrison of Linqiang City to the east, the grain and grass in the city have also been transported away, and the city has become depressed
As the vanguard of the front, Tumulu and Jiaoliyan led the army until five miles outside Linqiang City, and after resting for half an hour, the armies began to count the number of people and reassemble, these 5,000 cavalry were composed of liberated slaves, most of these slaves were the people of Xiping, Zhangye, Douhe and other counties, in the process of Xianbei raiding the border over the years, they were taken captive to Xihai, along the way, there were many soldiers in a situation similar to Zhu Gouwa and Ma San'er, and they were allowed to visit relatives
"There are a lot of them," Gui Haiqiu said happily after counting the number of people, "Why don't I take a few people to disguise themselves as villagers and take down the city gate first."
He is the guide of this team, when he and Liu Ziqiu, Hua Yun and others came here after a long journey from Luoyang, and now he has killed it again, so he is naturally familiar with the road
Jiao Liyan waved his horsewhip and said, "If you don't have a soldier, I'll take five hundred people and go directly into the city."
Linqiang City, a small matter of the county, ordered Shao Dong to get up early in the morning to try two trivial cases, the day's work was over, at noon, make a few side dishes, and then scald a pot of wine, hugged the newly married lady, drank two cups of rì beautifully, and lived a leisurely life
Suddenly, a servant stumbled into the back and said in a loud voice: "My lord, it's not good, the Tuyuhun people have come in."
"Nonsense," Shao Dong was a little drunk, and said, "Tuyuhun has already let the first emperor defeat him, where is there any Tuyuhun?"
The official said anxiously: "It's true, those people have already entered the city, and they will soon arrive at the ......."
Before he could finish his words, there was a scream outside, and several handmaidens ran in in a panic, and behind them, more than a dozen horsemen rushed straight into the rear like a whirlwind, and the horses snorted in the house, and the thick hooves of the bowls were scraping on the ground, and the knights on the horses brandished their scimitars and laughed wantonly
Jiao Liyan pulled the reins, the war horse circled Shao Dong and his wife, and the horsewhip suddenly pointed at the county lady and shouted: "This girl is good, you all go out, let me be happy first."
Everyone laughed and drove Shao Dong, the official who reported the news, and several servant girls who had escaped out of the house
"Wait," but Jiao Liyan pointed at Shao Dong again and said, "Leave him and let him watch from the side."
