"Mother, I've packed it up. Early in the morning, Shen He got up, packed a few simple clothes in a package, and traveled lightly. Before leaving, he carefully wiped the dark red armor that was too small to wear with a rag, and after placing all his things, he walked out of the room with peace of mind. This was a good habit he developed when he practiced with Master Wang Wu, and although there were maids in the house, Shen He still liked to tidy things up by himself.

Outside the door, Ming Yueying leaned lightly against the pillar and looked at the gladiolus in the courtyard. This was planted by Ming Yueying in the year Shen He was born, and now after more than ten years of growth, this gladiolus is more than half a person tall, with thick rhizomes and extremely lush vitality. At this time, it is late autumn, and the small white flowers are clustered together to prevent the first cold of the year.

Shen He looked at Ming Yueying, who was facing away from him, and said loudly, "Mother, I'm going out." ”

But Ming Yueying still didn't react, she just looked straight at the gladiolus. Oh, she waved her hand.

"Then I'm really leaving?"

Still, there was no response.

She looked at the beautiful gladiolus infatuatedly, without saying a word, not even hearing the footsteps behind her.

The huge Shen Mansion is quiet at the moment, and no one can notice that a young woman is leaning on the big red pillar unique to the Shen Mansion, in a daze. The ground is full of dead leaves and branches, and there is no life.

After a long time, an idea the size of a bean fell from the sky and smashed into the world with a crackle. A curtain of beautiful beads cut down the woman's face, and she walked around like a hooligan.

"He's gone, too. "Drowned in the crackling sound of the sky.

......

Liangzhou.

Located 300 miles north of the imperial city, the town of Liangzhou guards the border of the northern country and is a military powerhouse. Liangzhou has experienced sandstorms all year round, the yellow sand in the city is full of sky, and it is located in the north, and it is winter for five or six months a year, which is extremely cold. The cold sand hits people's faces, stinging incomparably, and can even mark blood, and those with slightly weaker physiques dare not go out at will in winter. Wei Wenchang, the assassin of Liangzhou, is the lord of this city and one of the dragon generals.

Wei Wenchang is a little older, and he can rank second among the five major historical dragon generals, second only to Li Xuan. Unlike Li Xuan, Wei Wenchang was extremely introverted and silent, but he was extremely aggressive in his use of troops, and he repelled the Xiongnu who tried to invade many times, and made great achievements.

At this time, he was in front of the sand table in the tent, seriously analyzing the current situation.

Born in the north, Liangzhou was often invaded by the Xiongnu, because for them, as long as they captured Liangzhou, it was to open the door to the imperial city. But what distressed them the most was Wei Wenchang, who was stationed here.

They will never forget that day, they confidently attacked Liangzhou with 100,000 elite soldiers, marched all the way, defeated tens of thousands of city guards, and just as they were about to break through the gate, it opened by itself.

A team riding desert wolves rushed out with lightning speed, leaping into the center of the army, breaking through their offensive in an instant. The desert wolf is a beast, extremely ferocious, the successive generations of Huns living in the north have never tamed a head, and the Great Liang Dynasty, which has only been stationed here for thousands of years, oh, no, it is this new young general, this young general who has only been here for a few years, has tamed this barbaric beast!

The desert wolves that rushed into the crowd instantly released their wildness, and with the superb marksmanship of the strong soldiers on their backs, the Huns suffered countless casualties in just a while, after all, where have they seen this kind of battle, just the rough skin and thick flesh of the desert wolf more than one person tall is enough for them to deal with, not to mention a large number of elite soldiers who are diligent in training, they are temporarily pulled to make up the number of ordinary people can not compete with this strong combination, not long after, deserters appeared.

The escape of a small number of people actually drove the overall trend, and the Huns threw down their weapons one after another, fled to the rear, and collapsed.

In this battle, they were defeated fiercely.

Not only was they defeated, but they also left a deep shadow - Wei Wenchang, the dragon general of the Great Liang Book, the division of the tiger and wolf!

This battle also made Wei Wenchang, who was only twenty years old at the time, famous!

Now, fifty years have passed.

The Xiongnu no longer dared to attack Liangzhou on a large scale, so they had to silently endure the long cold winter and food shortages every year, and live with difficulty. As early as a thousand years ago, when the Great Liang Dynasty expanded its territory to the north, they wanted to sign a peace treaty with it, but unfortunately the leaders of that year did not agree, they hated the peoples from the south, considered them insidious and cunning, and believed that they would definitely encroach on their territory. Thus, the thousand-year-old war broke out.

In one war after another, the Xiongnu's territory was gradually lost, and they had to migrate to the colder north, leading their people to the boundless abyss.

In front of the sand table, Wei Wenchang frowned.

Because he really couldn't understand the movements of the Huns.

A few months ago, the Xiongnu, who had not attacked Liangzhou for a long time, appeared in the field of vision of the city guards, and what was puzzling was that they seemed to know the situation of Liangzhou's troops, and the camp was stationed at the border of the crossbow range, which seemed to be provocative.

This discovery put the whole city of Liangzhou on alert, as if facing a great enemy, and Wei Wenchang also arranged a twenty-four-hour guard to prevent them from making any big moves. At the same time, the pace of the platoon drill in the city was intensified, and a high degree of tension was maintained at all times, and the people in the city were panicked for a while.

But the strange thing is that the Xiongnu did not make any new moves, they just stationed a large number of troops outside the attack range, and kept stationing camps, and the camps were arranged in a semicircle with a radius of the far crossbow, which seemed to be encircled. There are more and more troops stationed there, and in the sand control forest, it is densely packed with human figures. And just yesterday, the city guard came to report that the number of people is expected to exceed 100,000!

100,000, are they already in a hurry?

Wei Wenchang paced around the room, his hands in contemplation. Judging from his many years of battlefield experience, things are definitely not so simple, according to his understanding of the Xiongnu, they generally do not use so many troops, at most hundreds of people guerrilla incursion, moreover, they lack motive for this attack. The last war was at the time of the handover of the old and new dragon generals, and they thought that as the new dragon generals, they had not yet understood the situation of Liangzhou, so they dared to attack on a large scale. And this time, why?

......

Outside the city of Liangzhou, tens of thousands of tents are stationed in the windbreak.

During Wei Wenchang's tenure, he ordered the planting of plants and trees outside the city to prevent and control sandstorms, which were difficult for trees to survive in sandy soil, but under Wei Wenchang's strong advocacy, a large windbreak forest was still formed. Under the effect of this windbreak, the wind and sand in Liangzhou City have been reduced year after year, and the days of hanging blood marks on the face in winter no longer exist, and people are grateful for Wei Wenchang's merits and named it Wenchang Forest.

At this time, a soldier dressed in thick fur was holding a bowl of water in his hand and hurried to a tent.

"Chief, the water is coming!"

When he lifted the curtain, he was stunned by what he saw.

On a small bed in the center of the tent, three naked bodies twisted together, one of them was huge, with a sturdy back covered with brutal muscles, and there were about a dozen of them, while the other two were much smaller, and the plump parts changed shape under various pressures, and the white body of Huahua was extremely eye-catching.

He licked his parched lips, his eyes reluctant to leave. He hadn't touched a woman in many days.

"Put down your bowl and get out!"

A thunderclap exploded in his ears, and his body couldn't help but tremble. He hurriedly put down the bowl in his hand and retreated on his knees, and after exiting the tent, he slowly clenched his fists, and his teeth rattled in the cold wind.

One of them was his sister!

But what about it?

He shook his head in despair, holding back his emotions. In the Xiongnu clan, the leader has absolute authority, and no one can disobey it, let alone a woman who he likes, even if he pulls out a knife and kills himself, no one dares to complain. That's the sorrow!

"Alas. He sighed silently, turned and disappeared into the thick woods.

......

"This Liangzhou is different from what is described in the book. In Liangzhou City, a young man in white wearing a turban walked on the street, looking around, "Didn't the book say that this is a place where the wind and sand are blowing?"

This person is none other than Shen He. After Shen He left Shen Mansion, he took the map, and after confirming the location of Ho Loei Province, he immediately set off. But the more he went, the more he realized, why did this become more and more desolate?

He took out the map again to verify it, and found that he was on the right path, which was the road, so he forced down the uneasiness in his heart and continued to walk forward.

In this way, as I walked, I came to a city, and when I looked up, it was Liangzhou.

He fell to his knees.

Liangzhou......

How could it be Liangzhou......

How could I go south to Liangzhou!

Could it be that the girder is round?

Well, in that case, it seems like that......

It's like a ghost!

Shen He collapsed, it turned out that he had gone the opposite way all along......

Passers-by saw a child kneeling in front of the Liangzhou City Gate, they were surprised, came forward to join in the fun, and after a while, a large circle of people stood up.

Shen He saw that there were so many people around, so he quickly got up and walked through the cracks.

Since you've come here, you might as well go in and have a look.

He tore off a piece of cloth from his body, covered his face, and slipped into the city. Although it is an extreme northern place, Shen He is also afraid that he will be recognized, after all, he should be careful when he goes out.

And when he saw the bustling market that was slightly weaker than Jinghong Road, he was stunned. The streets are full of people dressed in all kinds of precious fur coats, pedestrians are gorgeously dressed in brightly colored clothes, the style is novel and unique, and even the grandfathers who set up stalls to buy vegetables are wearing gorgeous clothes with smiles on their faces. It's not at all the desolate place described in the book!

Shen He was very excited, he thought that he was going to live a hard life for a long time, but he didn't expect Liangzhou to give him such a big surprise, he excitedly took off his turban and ran deeper into the street......

......

Inside the tent, Wei Wenchang's eyes were closed, and he was thinking about it very hard.

Suddenly, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the tent.

"Report! The Hun army has withdrawn!"
