Chapter 14 The Tang people's are good
The old sheepskin came to a tall rammed-earth gatehouse and did not move, and Yun Chu also heard a fierce tambourine and rattle bell.
A graceful figure, but dark-skinned dancers are dancing happily, when the dancers in the Western Regions show the charm of dance, they generally do not wear clothes, at most they tie some cloth between the spans, and the extravagant ones will tie some silk, and they will tie these cloths or silk into flowers, or butterflies.
The more extravagant ones will use light white yarn and various colors of yarn to make streamers, tie them through the armpits and hang down from the back, so that once they start to writhe, those streamers will fly up to form a visual obstacle, making people feel as if they are wearing clothes, but as if they are not wearing, which is very fascinating.
Yun Chu remembered that the flying sky on the Dunhuang mural was like this, but most of the flying heavens in Dunhuang could not distinguish between men and women, and they were not as charming as the dark flying sky in front of him.
"This is elegance?" Yun Chu asked the old sheepskin after watching the dancer raise one leg and bounce in circles with one leg.
"The dancing girls in Chang'an shouldn't be like this, listen to Xuanzang, Tang women keep etiquette." The old sheepskin said with a smile.
Yun Chu felt a little ashamed, he always felt that the Tang people at this time were not as good as the old sheepskin said.
After climbing the dilapidated earthen wall of Qiuzi City, I immediately saw that there was a new city outside the city wall, and there were dense flags fluttering on the city, among which a flag with black and red sides was the most conspicuous, and it was written with a large Tang character.
The city of Qiuzi was full of people, but the area around the military village outside the city was so quiet that not even a rabbit could be seen.
It wasn't until Yun Chu saw a dilapidated wooden board written in various languages - a few words of death for those who approached the military village, that he really felt the majesty of the Tang people.
These red words dripping with blood are far more intimidating than the skulls that the Uighurs have inserted around the camp.
The old sheepskin was also looking at the Tang people's military village, and after looking at it for a while, he said to Yun Chu regretfully: "You should become a Tang people." ”
Yun Chu gritted his teeth and said, "I am a Tang man myself. ”
The old sheepskin looked at Yun Chu's eyes and said, "This is good, it's better to say the same thing after you are caught by the Tang people." ”
After walking for most of the day today, the old sheepskin seemed to be very tired, so he casually wrapped his leather jacket and fell on the rammed earth city wall, closing his eyes slightly.
"Three years ago, the Tang Dynasty struck down the Ashina Sheer, the king of Yanqi, Anazhi, broke the turtle in Duo Brown City, captured its king Bu and lost it, and since then, the city of Qiuci has never passed through the city gate."
The old sheepskin seemed to be caught up in remembrance again, and affectionately caressed the wall beneath him with his wrinkled hands.
"Why didn't they camp in the city, but rebuild it on the edge?"
The old sheepskin smiled: "At that time, the city of Qiuzi was no longer suitable for the tun army. ”
Yun Chu nodded, the city that was broken by the Tang army generally did not end well, and being slaughtered after the city was broken was almost a habit of their behavior in the Western Regions.
There are too many dead people in the city, of course, it is not suitable for the garrison, because they are worried about the plague or something.
"King Bu of Qiuzi is a fool, when the Tang army comes, if he surrenders immediately, although he will lose a lot of money and food, the people in the city can still save their lives.
If he is unwilling to surrender, then he should immediately contact the Yanqi King Ana's branch to resist the Tang army, even if he will fail, he can be called a hero by the people of the Western Regions.
He chose the worst path, only remembered to resist after King Yanqi was killed, and when he was halfway through the resistance, he chose to surrender...... There were dead and wounded when the Tang army attacked the city, at this time, what could they do if they didn't slaughter the city?
Yun Chu, you now know how stupid the people of the Western Regions are, right? ”
At this time, there happened to be a dark cloud covering the sun, and the cool breeze blew through the city walls, making people feel cold.
At the same time, the story told by the old sheepskin is not pleasant, after all, three years ago, the people in this city were almost dead, and now the people walking around the city do not know where they came from.
There has never been a moment of tranquility in the land of the Western Regions, there are always wars here, and there are always endless battles.
When children are born in the Western Regions, people will die, and when they are grazing, they will often be taken away by wolves one or two, and if they have nothing to eat, they will starve to death, and they will die unexpectedly because of diseases...... In addition, those who died in war and brawls seem to never die cleanly, and there will always be people emerging from the horns and re-forming one tribe after another, one kingdom after another.
This makes people have to admire the tenacity of life.
Yun Chu has a deep understanding of this, and in the past thirteen years, the Cypriot tribe in which he lives has also experienced a life of displacement, war and oppression, but the total population of the tribe does not seem to have decreased significantly, two hundred accounts, and it has always been two hundred accounts, neither increasing nor decreasing.
The wind blew comfortably, Yun Chu opened his eyes, and then he saw that the old sheepskin's clear eyes were looking at him intently.
These eyes reminded Yun Chu of those eyes he saw on the side of the road in Mount Emei a long, long time ago, the eyes were slightly yellow, the eyelids were blue, and the rest of the place was like a painting.
This kind of clear eyes like water should grow on the baby's face to match, but unfortunately, the monkey of Mount Emei and the old sheepskin also have such eyeballs, which immediately alerted Yun Chu.
The monkeys of Mount Emei will look at you with these eyes and snatch your food, water, and whatever else they want.
Presumably, the old sheepskin should also be like this.
Yun Chu always thought that the old sheepskin should be a rare wise man among the Hu people, but now, he only thinks that this guy looks like a monkey in Mount Emei, has a voice like a monkey in Mount Emei, and eyes are more like a monkey in Mount Emei...... Overall, this old guy is a monkey from Mount Emei.
"The Sui people have lost their dynasty, is it possible for me to become a Tang person when I mix with the Sui people?" Yun Chu asked.
The old sheepskin shrunk down, and even on a June day, as long as there was no sun, he would still feel cold.
"The identity of the Sui people is just a springboard for you, if you are not a Sui person, there is no possibility of becoming a Tang person."
"The Tang people and the Sui people are mortal enemies."
"The Sui people and the Tang people are in the same vein, just like two fruits growing on the same tree, sooner or later they will one day forget each other's hatred and become one."
"There's no better way? I always feel that falling into a Sui identity is not good for my future path. ”
"Don't worry, it'll be smoothed."
"No, since I want to live in Datang in the future, I don't think I should be contaminated with any identity that should not be contaminated from the beginning."
"Xuanzang was born in the erosion of the Great Sui, although it was erosive, it was also a brilliant and splendid dynasty, and it was also a time when Buddhism flourished.
Why are you so resistant to the Great Sui?
I heard that at that time, there were peerless fierce generals, outstanding Confucians, endless songs and dances, and Qionghua who did not thank you for four hours. ”
After listening to the old sheepskin's praise of Da Sui, Yun Chu tried his best to restrain his mind, and at this time, he never dared to show his eyes as an idiot.
Anyway, Lao Sheepskin's cognition of the Central Plains comes from Xuanzang, which leads to his very one-sided cognition of the Central Plains.
Emperor Yang of Sui was a romantic monarch and a majestic monarch who could bring the heads of his opponents to the ground at the stroke of an order, and he liked to build one ship after another to crusade against Buchen.
He also likes to let a lot, a lot of women pull his dragon boat naked to glide on the canal, and he also likes to plant countless Qionghua in Yangzhou, and he also likes to dig a grand canal on the land of China that is specially arched for him to enjoy Qionghua.
From the perspective of a person like Lao Sheepskin, such an emperor is indeed very good, living a comfortable, comfortable and happy life.
This is actually the highest ideal of the Hu heroes, as for the background behind these things, they don't think about it, or rather, they disdain it.
Heroes should do something that only heroes need to do, even if they end up with their heads cut off, it's worth it.
These people just like to do things that make them happy for a while, and anyway, when I die, they will be flooded.
"If you want to be a Tang person, then you must be a pure Tang person, and you must be a Tang person who can stand the inspection of others, it has been twenty-five years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and I am only thirteen years old.
The old sheepskin stared at Yun Chu for a while, threw out a small bag of gold sand to him, waved his hand and said, "Since you are so confident, then do it." ”
Yun Chu reached out and grabbed the gold sand, and weighed it in his hand, the gold sand in the bag should be seven or eight taels.
"How can I repay you for your efforts?"
If you take someone else's investment, you must be prepared for a return, which is clear at the beginning.
"If your integration into the Tang people is fast enough, take me to Chang'an in the name of a servant, and if your integration into the Tang people is slow, then take my ashes to Chang'an, and personally send my ashes to Xuanzang."
Yun Chu nodded and said, "Okay, we'll make a decision." ”
At this time, a thin black line suddenly appeared at the end of the earth, and remembering the current performance of the two of them like spies, Yun Chu leaned over to the old sheepskin and said, "Are we going to deal with the Tang Army?" ”
The old sheepskin shook his head and said: "We are marmots in the Gobi, it is better to live underground, not to stay on the ground for a long time, otherwise, the eagle will kill the marmot." ”
After that, he dusted off Yun Chu's robe with his hand and said, "There shouldn't be dust on the clothes of the Tang people." ”
The black line became thicker and thicker, and then the earth shook, and a desolate trumpet sounded on the military fortress.
Without saying a word, the old sheepskin turned and walked towards the city of Guizi.
When the two of them ran back to Qiuzi City, they looked through the empty hole in the city gate, and the thin black line had turned into a black wave.
"The Hui people always say that they can hover like flying on horseback, light and swift like a falcon, and they don't even have the power to fight under the impact of cavalry like the Tang people, and only a hundred people can drive tens of thousands of Hui cavalry around the mountains and fields, I have to say that the combat power of the Tang people is really very strong."
The words of the old sheepskin sounded in Yun Chu's ears, but Yun Chu's attention was all on these cavalry, causing the old sheepskin's words to praise Tang Jun like a voiceover.
The tide-like cavalry team swept over from a distance, and after a stone's throw from the military village, this cavalry with 3,000 cavalry quickly turned into dozens of squads, and after the drums on the military village sounded, a small group of cavalry rushed in, and the Gobi was quiet again.
