Li Qing, this strange and familiar name surrounds me, in the dream, I see it very real, and I cry in the dream.

This matter goes directly back to the Western Han Dynasty.

In 60 B.C., after several generations of conquest by the Han Dynasty, the Western Regions Protectorate was established.

I, no, should be Li Qing, Li Guangshi's grandson, who served in the Northern Army, and was a captain of the Yue Cavalry. Zhao Xin's granddaughter Zhao Yan'er was a childhood sweetheart with Li Qing, until Li Qing was 19 years old and discussed with her parents that she wanted to marry Zhao Yan'er, and received a call from Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.

The emperor had a decree, the Western Regions Protectorate had just been established, and ordered Li Qing to take a team of guards to the Western Regions Protectorate to take charge of the security of the northern frontier, and Li Qing was ready to set off overnight.

When Zhao Yan'er was elated at home, dressed up beautifully, thinking that her wishful husband Li Qing was about to come to her house to propose, she smiled when she thought of this.

However, fate embarrassed her, a letter was sent to get it, and Zhao Yan'er learned this time that Li Qing had set off for the Western Regions last night.

Li Qing knew that the road to the Western Regions was long, and when he got there, he didn't know what year and month he would be able to return to Dahan, and he couldn't put down the smoke at home. If you don't return for three years, you can marry again. This hosta is given to the cigarette, and Lang's heart is not clear, and it is obvious. In just a few sentences, Li Qing's thousand words were expressed, he wanted to say more, but he didn't know where to start, all the way he had Zhao Yan'er in his mind, but the providence was boundless, and his fate was uncertain.

When Yan'er received this letter, tears fell down and hit the letterhead, and she didn't want to rush out to chase the convoy, but where could she catch up with the convoy, Zhao Yan'er rushed out dozens of miles along the official road, and finally fell, climbing on the deserted stone road, tears couldn't help but flow, "Why does the will of heaven torment me." ”

I don't know, this is actually a conspiracy of Zhao Yan'er's father, he is dissatisfied that the Li Guangshi clan is not reused by the Son of Heaven after the Li Ling incident, and the Zhao family is now a famous family, and the marriage is also a political marriage, and the purpose of driving Li Qing out of the customs is to make Zhao Yan'er give up, marry the Shandong Shi clan, and ensure the interests of the Zhao family.

Since then, Zhao Yan'er has been waiting on the official road every day, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, cold and heat, she has never given up, she will wake up from her dream every night, shouting Li Qing's name, and then rushing to the door, thinking that Li Qing is coming back.

However, things did not go according to people's wishes, the Zhao family began to match the marriage between Zhao Yan'er and the Shandong Shi clan, Zhao Yan'er would rather die than obey, and the Zhao family had no choice but to lock Zhao Yan'er in the room and not let him out, and Zhao Yan'er was the Huo family of the Shandong Shi clan, Huo Nan.

Huo Nan chased and beat Zhao Yan'er hard, but failed to make Zhao Yan'er happy, Huo Nan liked Zhao Yan'er wholeheartedly, in order to make Zhao Yan'er die, the Shandong Shi clan sent a killer to assassinate Li Qing, as long as Li Qing died, this matter could be done.

Li Qing was the one who sat in the northern frontier of the Western Regions, and the Shandong scholars promised to the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions that anyone who killed Li Qing could be recognized by the Han and establish relations with the Han.

Of course, the 36 countries of the Western Regions know that there is a rich and powerful country in the east, the Han Dynasty, has always wanted to establish relations with it, but there has always been the obstruction of the Xiongnu, failed to fulfill the wish, and now it is different, the Huns were beaten and scattered, surrendered to the Han, and agreed to the request of the Shandong Shi clan.

In 58 BC, Li Qing had just turned 21 years old, and during his two years in the Western Regions, because Li Qing was good at learning, proficient in various Chinese, and properly handled relations with various countries, he was recognized by the great powers of the Western Regions of Loulan, but Li Qing's achievements in the Western Regions were intercepted by the Western Regions Protector and could not be reached in front of the emperor, so he was not cared about for many years in the Western Regions.

Under the manipulation of the Shandong Shi clan, the Duhufu has never replenished the northern Xinjiang with men and horses, and even the food problem has to be solved by itself, trying to trap Li Qing, but unfortunately Li Qing is self-sufficient, established his own arable land in northern Xinjiang, mingles with the local residents, and teaches the advanced planting techniques of the Han Dynasty to the local residents, and is loved by the local residents.

Until the end of 28 BC, a huge conspiracy ensued, and the Shandong Shi clan bought off one of Li Qing's soldiers, An Ran.

Suddenly, one day, An Ran rushed in and told Li Qing that Loulan had a conflict with several small countries due to the water flow problem, and the two armies were facing each other and preparing to go to war.

Li Qing had some doubts, the matter of Loulan should be handled by the people of the General Mansion, or the Southern Xinjiang Metropolitan Protectorate and the Northern Xinjiang Metropolitan Protectorate should send people.

Li Qing asked, "What is the attitude of the Lord Protector of the General Mansion?" ”

An Ran acted very well, "Lord Duhu returned to Beijing to report on his work, and it will take a while to return, the Duhu General Mansion has already sent people, I am afraid that there will be insufficient manpower, and it will be difficult to mediate, and the Southern Xinjiang Metropolitan Protectorate has also been dispatched, and now it is up to the Northern Xinjiang Metropolitan Protectorate to come forward with the conditions." ”

General Li Qing is a soldier, there are not so many whys, "The order, the officers and men of all armies listened to the order, immediately put on armor, and went to Loulan to mediate." ”

In order to ensure the safety of the Silk Road, the Protectorate of the Western Regions must stop the struggle of these small countries, but it is a pity that Li Qing does not arrive, it will be a huge conspiracy.

On the way there, they were ambushed.

Li Qing led the 800 soldiers were surrounded by regiments, the yellow sand was long, the population illuminated by the sun was dry, Li Qing did not panic, but took out a water bag and took a sip, seeing that these people in front of him were masked, wearing all kinds of clothes, and they couldn't see which country they were, since the establishment of the Western Regions Protectorate, and joined hands with various countries to maintain law and order, there are very few horse bandits, and the horse bandits never masked, remembering that they had not offended anyone, they asked loudly, "Who are you waiting for, who dares to encircle and suppress the army of the Western Regions of the Great Han Dynasty, and you don't know who offended my strong man." , although it is far away, it must be punished? ”

This sentence was said loudly, even the horses were shocked and did not listen to the call, the group of people in front of them finally controlled the horses, they knew that Li Qing was not talking about the end of the trouble, when the flying general Li Guang beat the Huns to the Western Regions, the countries of the Western Regions did not listen to the call, Li Guang pulled out the steel sword above the court, and directly hacked the king to death on the court, they knew the prestige of the Han Dynasty.

However, they agreed to the request of the Shandong Shi clan, if it is not completed, I am afraid that the Shandong Shi clan will not let them go, they can only make a desperate bet and kill the gang in front of them.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Western Regions Protectorate, most of them were Han Chinese, and they slowly gathered Hu people from all sides.

As soon as Li Qing heard that this guy was speaking Wusun dialect, Wusun Country is in the west of Karamay, how could it appear here, Li Qing said in Wusun dialect, "You must be from Wusun Country." ”

The person on horseback was surprised that Li Qing could understand Wusun's words, "What? Can you understand the Wusun dialect? ”

"I've been learning Wusun dialect for a while."

Wusun people know that Li Qing is in a catastrophe today, so they might as well leave the truth behind. "I know that General Li Qing is a hero, and today I will tell the truth that when the words fall, it will be the attack of the horse team, General Li rest assured, our Wusun Kingdom will definitely use a state funeral to bury General Li."

Li Qing has been in the Western Regions for many years, and he knows that once the Wusun people say what they say, they will definitely die without a place to be buried, but he is poor and has not offended all the scholars, and the relationship with Wusun is also handled properly, why is he slaughtered today.

"Qing, listen up."

"This is what your Shandong Shi clan promised to us in Wusun Kingdom, as long as we destroy you, we can establish a relationship with the Han Dynasty and communicate with each other."

Li Qing glanced at his most intimate brother in the Northern Army, Wei Jiu, he is also a disciple of Wei Qing of the Shandong Shi clan, but unfortunately his blood seems to be impure, and he is still a home remedy family, becoming a benchmark for the Shandong Shi clan in the court, so you can't say that the Shandong Shi clan enjoys peace and is not for state affairs, there is a person from the Shandong Shi clan in the Western Regions, and no one in the court will say anything, Li Qing has always scolded Wei Jiu for being too honest and honest, and he is a pawn played by others.

And this Wei Jiu, exactly the same as Jiu's growth, should be ninety percent of his previous life, I really didn't expect that ninety percent of his previous life was still a general, as for the rest, I don't want to say it.

"Big brother, I didn't know that the Shandong Shi clan had such a conspiracy, and the younger brother was incompetent."

"I don't blame you."

Wei Jiu whispered to Li Qing, "Our team is all pulled out of the Northern Army, the Northern Army is the elite of the Han Dynasty, we can fight a bloody way to protect the general and you out." ”

In a moment, the Wusun people killed with one sentence, the sound of horses' hooves was everywhere, the yellow sand was permeated, and they rushed over with a scimitar to ride the wind and waves.

"Archers prepare, shoot at the wrong time." As soon as I finished giving the order, the army reacted quickly, and the bows and crossbows of the big Han made the sound of tearing cloth, and the Wusun soldiers who rushed up in front were instantly choked by the bows and arrows.

The leader of Wusun is also the first time to understand the military might of the Han Dynasty, and he has never seen such a powerful army. The Wusun people also wanted to use the speed of their horses to continue the sprint, but the archers designed according to the waves, and never stopped, although the firepower was not strong, but it was enough to suppress the Wusun people.

Wusun is a barren country, does not produce steel, and they have no iron-making technology, their bows and arrows are all made of polished bones or stones, and the armor worn by the Han Dynasty can not penetrate these bows and arrows, only a few waves of design, did not hurt a few people, Wusun people have no choice but to wait for the consumption of bows and arrows, and then take it in one fell swoop.

Wei Jiu is also an expert in warfare, and has inherited the genes of their Wei family, "Save feather arrows." Shield Defense, Pikeman, Stabbing Horse. "After the first, second, and third waves of feather arrows were fired, the understanding organization was surrounded by steel shields into an iron ball, and slowly retreated.

The Wusun people didn't see it well, Li Qing wanted to run, and led dozens of times the army to rush over, trying to overwhelm Li Qing with the advantage in numbers.

Unfortunately, these well-trained soldiers were surrounded by steel shields, and when the horses were sprinting, the spears suddenly fell to the ground one after the other.

If there is logistical support, although this battle cannot be won, it is more than enough to break through, but two hours have passed, and the Wusun people want to trap Li Qing to death in the desert.

At this moment, everyone's water is running out, and although the hungry and thirsty soldiers don't say anything, they all know in their hearts that they can't last long if they go on like this, and even the last wave of feather arrows is shot, and the Wusun people pull out the feather arrows from their own corpses, and reflect back, and now there are less than three hundred of the eight hundred strong men left.

Li Qing has never figured out why this is happening, where did he offend the Shandong Shi clan, and he has to put himself to death.

Wusun charged for the last time and scattered the shield circle, and dozens of times the enemy slaughtered the soldiers he brought from the capital division with scimitars, and they fell in pools of blood.

Li Qing's team of guards continued to break through to the north under the protection of Wei Jiu, and Li Qing found that An Ran, who had reported to him, had gone to the opposite side.

An Ran signaled the Wusun army to catch up with Li Qing and kill him, a group of horses rushed towards Li Qing, and several guards in front of him had been hacked to death, Li Qing then understood, how could there be any bullshit conflict in Loulan Kingdom, this was a conspiracy, to kill himself.

Li Qing's guards were only more than 20 people left at the moment, and the big fart cavalry behind was still chasing, and in order to buy time for the general to escape, the soldiers tied themselves to the horse's legs with belts even if they died, delaying the horse's speed, but they were quickly cut off from the waist.

When Li Qing saw the soldiers who died for him, he was about to turn back and kill him, but under the drag of Wei Jiu and the guards, he forced him back.

Whoosh, a feather arrow hit Wei Jiu's back, Li Qing hugged Wei Jiu and wanted to drag him back, but it was too late.

"General, don't worry about me, don't care about me, go, go, live, live." Pushing Li Qing without listening, Li Qingqing's muscles were abrupt, and his eyes were red.

The guards shouted, "General, go, go, it's too late." Li Qing was dragged away by the guards, and Wei Jiu shouted, "General Li, be your brother again in the next life, I will find you." After saying that, the horses behind stepped on Wei Jiu's body and became a puddle of flesh.
