The two emergency war reports instantly broke the tranquility of Luoyang, and Emperor Wu was startled from his dream and immediately summoned the six Shangshu and the princes and ministers to discuss countermeasures.

"Everything is known, Dongyi has already launched an attack, this time Dongyi sent the seventh branch of the elite Flying Wing Legion, and although the dog Rong crossed the border, he has not really launched an attack."

Although Emperor Wu had made preparations early, he still underestimated the actions of Dongyi and Dog Rong.

"Your Majesty, Lord Xie An is still in Dongyi, and at this moment, Dongyi is sending troops, is it Lord Xie." Yu Ming, the secretary of the military department, has a good relationship with Xie An, and he is very concerned about his safety at the moment.

When all the ministers heard this, they all sighed in their hearts, it seems that Xie An is more than lucky.

"I have already sent someone to look for it, and I just got the news that the forbidden army guarding Xie An has all been killed." Emperor Wu was also very sad in his heart, and Xie An and him were confidants even if they were monarchs and ministers.

"Your Majesty's top priority is to let the two generals on the border organize a counterattack, and we can't let them go deeper."

"Yu Ming, immediately send an order to Sun Feng to let him counterattack Dongyi according to the plan, by the way, how is Lu Heng in Dog Rong."

Lu Heng sent the envoy to the dog Rong, and there is no news at present.

"Back to Your Majesty, Lord Lu has returned to the border, and it seems that the dog Rong is not too embarrassed." Yu Ming's body is the secretary of the military department, and the news is naturally very fast.

"Okay, since that's the case, it seems that as I thought before, Dog Rong didn't want to completely tear his face, and ordered Fang Jinlong to let him lead the mountain battalion to confront Dog Rong while sending people to negotiate with them, as long as Dog Rong is willing to withdraw his troops, Da Zhou is happy to trade with them."

Emperor Wu was really convinced by Zhao Zili's previous judgment at this time, and immediately decided to start deploying according to his plan.

One after another orders were issued from the Jinluan Palace, and the border of the Great Zhou quickly organized a counteroffensive, and the strong national strength was vividly reflected at this time.

Thousands of miles away in Dongyi, a muddy, unkempt man, holding a bamboo pole in one hand and a broken bowl in the other, was begging along the street.

"Have mercy on me, and enjoy the stutter." The beggar's eyes were blank, and the stench on his body made people hide away when they smelled it.

"Go, go, stay put, stinky beggar." The shopkeeper kicked the beggar away, but the beggar didn't cry, just smirked.

The shopkeeper looked at it and was happy, and said: "It turned out to be a fool, and you are lucky, there are two steamed buns here, take them and eat them." ”

The beggar took the steamed bun and immediately knelt down and kowtowed, and then ran to the side to eat it.

The beggar lowered his head, tears in his eyes, cried while eating, and muttered to himself: "I can't die, for the sake of those who have saved me desperately, I, Xie An, must live and return to Dazhou." ”

It turned out that this beggar turned out to be Xie An, no one would recognize it, and Xie An, who was full of wealth, would actually become a beggar.

I had to talk about it three days ago.

Three days ago, Dongyi decided to send troops to the Great Zhou, and Xie An, as an envoy, became the best object of the flag, if it wasn't for the desperate resistance of the forbidden army that protected him, he would have been arrested that day.

Fortunately, Xie An also made some preparations and escaped from the post house in danger.

But Xie An, who was unfamiliar with the place and spoke with a Da Zhou accent, was recognized again and again, and many checkpoints had already been set up on the way to the border, and the forbidden army with him was finally killed.

It was when he was desperate to die that several Dongyi slaves saved him.

"Who are you and why did you save me." When Xie An was first rescued, he was still full of vigilance, for fear that this was Dongyi's strategy to relax his vigilance.

"Master Xie doesn't have to be nervous, we are being trafficked to the Great Zhou of Western Qin." The name of the person who spoke was Wang San, and together they were Li Si and Wang Er, who were involved in various cases and were used as slaves and sold to Dongyi.

"How do you know me?" The Great Zhou and Dongyi are at loggerheads, and it is not surprising to sell the Great Zhou people to Dongyi, which Xie An also knows.

"My lord, someone sent you a portrait not long ago, just saying that I will help you get out of trouble when you are in danger, and our family will be able to get rid of slavery." Wang San took out a portrait, and officially Xie An inside.

"Do you know who sent it?" Xie An was a little convinced at this time that if it was Dongyi's people, there was no need to beat around the bush like this.

"I don't know, it's just that the person who sent the letter used to be the contact person of the personal tooth, and I heard him say that now that person has done something for a prince of the Great Zhou, this is the only thing we can do for the clan."

Wang San is also gambling, if he wins the bet, his family will be able to live a normal life in Da Zhou, anyway, now he is better than death, it is better to gamble to the death.

Xie An kept thinking in his mind, there were not all the princes of the Great Zhou, but there were a few, and suddenly he thought that not long ago, the King of Song had accepted a human tooth, and immediately asked: "That person's surname is Gao." ”

"Yes, yes, since the adults know, they must believe in us and wait, and they will definitely be able to save the adults out."

Xie An was completely relieved at this time, it was really King Song, and he didn't expect him to take precautions to this point.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

"In this way, there are thirty people on our side, and this border is a hundred miles, ten miles is a sentry, and every step is a camp, and my lord should advance and do not care about anything that happens on the way." Wang San has some knowledge, and his plan is thorough enough.

"Okay, is there anything else?" Xie An didn't refute, he knew that these people were most familiar with the situation and couldn't put up a fight.

Wang San said embarrassedly: "Please also ask the adults to pretend to be beggars, so as not to attract the attention of the Dongyi people." ”

"Haha, now that you are living and dying, what if you really become a beggar." Xie An is not an excessively expensive person, he put on a beggar suit at the moment, rolled on the ground again, and did not shave for a few days, even if he stood in front of Emperor Wu, he probably couldn't recognize it.

"My lord, sure enough, the heroes among the people can bend and stretch, this is our list of thirty people, please return to the Great Zhou and hand it over to the government, but my wish." Wang San took out a blood book, which contained the names of thirty people and their former origins.

Xie An took it, and only felt that this academic task was very important.

Without further ado, Wang San asked Xie An to beg along the street all the way, leaving the rest alone, and then separated from Xie An.

At first, Xie An didn't understand, but he didn't go out a few miles, and suddenly saw the Dongyi officers and soldiers dragging the corpses of Wang San and a few people, and there were words in their mouths: "Damn, it's fake, and now there are still people pretending to be Xie An, don't die." ”

"Maybe I've lived enough, I didn't see them cheat on food and drink, and I had a full meal before I died." The soldier on the side chimed in.

Xie An stood stunned on the spot, he understood that these people were exchanging their lives for his life, and under his feet was the road paved by these people with blood, inch by inch of blood.

He didn't dare to stop, he would definitely let the lives of these righteous men die in vain, endure his grief, and move towards the border.

Sure enough, after advancing all the way for less than fifty miles, whenever a slave saw Xie An's figure, he immediately went to attract the attention of the Dongyi people, and it was not surprising that these people were all killed.

After more than seventy miles, there were already seven groups of twenty-one people who were all dead in order to cover him, and none of them flinched.

Xie An's sadness had filled his whole body, he couldn't cry anymore, and his throat was like being grabbed by someone and he couldn't make a sound.

But the effect of Wang San's strategy was indeed immediate, the entire border was stirred into a pot of porridge, Xie An was everywhere, and the arrest was all fake, so that the beggars and slaves within a hundred miles of Dongyi soldiers were too lazy to look.

In this way, Xie An was nearly ninety miles away from the border, and the two groups of six people were all killed without accident, and the blockade became even more severe, and there was a scene where Xie An begged for steamed buns at the beginning.

"But Lord Xie." A crisp voice sounded, and a little beggar boy pulled the corner of Xie An's clothes.

Xie An wiped his tears and said, "It's me." ”

The little boy was overjoyed when he heard this, and leaned over and whispered.

"Lord Xie, my father said that camouflage is no longer good, Dongyi adjusts countermeasures, but all strange beggars who are left alone will be caught, regardless of life or death."

Xie An reacted, and Dongyi had already seen through their plan.

"Please provide a token to prove your identity, my father looks a little like an adult, let him pretend to be killed, you will be safe."

"That's your father, how can you..." Xie An was shocked, a child could still be so indifferent in the face of his father who was about to die for a stranger.

"Adults don't understand, I am a mixed race of Da Zhou and Dongyi, I was born a slave, I have seen too much, my father died for me and for my descendants to be no longer slaves." Although the little boy pretended to be strong, his trembling body still revealed his sad heart.

Xie An touched the list on his chest and handed his official certificate to the boy, who took it and left quickly.

After a while, he came back and said, "Everyone knows me in this area, and my father said that it will be safer for adults to take me with them." ”

Xie An still didn't understand that this was Tuogu, but he pulled the boy over and said, "In the future, you will be my son, and I will take care of you like your father." ”

The little boy could no longer hold back and wept, and the two of them slowly moved towards the border.

"Quick, catch Xie An, this time it must be true."

Before the two of them could go far, the last group of people, the little boy's father, and his companion on the other side pretended to be exposed, fled all the way to a tall building, and shouted: "I, Xie An, will not be caught by Dongyi even if I die." ”

Immediately jumped off the tall building with his companions and fell to his death, the officers and soldiers immediately stepped forward to check, and soon found the official certificate, the leader stepped on the corpse and said: "Run, you escape, it's not dead, tired Lao Tzu, finally dead, this time is a good sign, Da Zhou will be defeated." ”

The Great Zhou will be defeated, and Dongyi will be victorious. Countless Dongyi people shouted loudly.

Xie An trembled when he heard it, and the little boy burst into tears, but the two did not delay at all, with the cover of the little boy along the way, the two finally successfully crossed the border and saw the Yumen Pass of Da Zhou.

So far, the thirty people led by Wang San, except for the only remaining little boy, twenty-nine people have all died, and they have exchanged their lives, the lives of slaves that everyone looks down on, for Xie An's safe return to China.

Xie An turned around and gritted his teeth, knelt down and whispered: "I, Xie An, swear that in my lifetime, Shangbi will fall into the Yellow Spring, and I will definitely break Dongyi and avenge you in my life. ”

The little boy also knelt down, and the two kowtowed three times, turned around and came to the city of Yumen Pass without looking back.
