Chapter 298: On the Importance of Appearance
The war was imminent, and the Yulin Army, under the command of Huo Quai, prepared soldiers and horses, and repeatedly inspected weapons, horseshoes, bows, crossbows, feather arrows, etc.; At the same time, each Yulin orphan also carried a strange bag on his horseback.
There is no doubt that the bag contains bilateral stirrups and Takahashi saddles.
These two things are still highly classified at the moment, and they are absolutely not allowed to show off until the battle begins......
Cao Xiang, Li Kang, Sima Qian, Dongfang Shuo, Zhang Tang and others also performed their duties, and they were busy preparing grain and straw without touching the ground; Even the three little women, Liu Man, Zhiniang, and Naren Toya, also acted quickly.
They organized all the old people, women, and children in Shuofang City, and wore a very bright 'red armband' on each person's arm, embroidered with the words 'Old People's Group', 'Women's Group', and 'Children's Group'; this was because they adopted Yang Chuan's suggestion to reorganize all the old and weak women and children in the name of 'resisting Hungary and saving themselves,' and gave them their respective tasks and missions.
The entire Shuofang City entered some strange state of combat readiness in an instant.
What stunned Cao Xiang, Sima Qian, Dongfang Shuo, Zhang Tang and others was that those old people, women and children who were usually inconspicuous on weekdays, once they wore red armbands on their arms, they completely changed their appearance.
"Stop, who told you to pee anywhere? A fine of three cents, a demerit once, and if you commit it again next time, you will be punished with twenty rods! ”
"Tell the county commander, we found three suspicious people, it seems that they are the work of the Huns!"
"Report! Ximen Street found someone selling horses and driving up the price of grain! ”
"In a house in Luoma Lane in Dongshi, someone conspired in the middle of the night, which may be the internal ...... of the Huns"
“……”
In this way, when Zhang Tang personally led his embroidered envoys and county soldiers to capture one hundred and seventy or eighty Xiongnu Xiaozuo and twenty or thirty unknown people in just two days and two nights, everyone finally came to their senses:
'Nest grass! ’
I have to say that Yang Chuan's move of 'all the people are soldiers' is really ruthless, and he easily brought a big purge to Shuofang City, eliminating many hidden dangers; by the way, everyone has learned to abide by the rules, and no one dares to anywhere, pee, spit, use foul language, splash dirty water on the road and other bad habits.
Naturally, these old and weak women and children, under the leadership of Liu Man, Zhiniang, Naren Tuoya and other three little women, were quickly sent to all parts of the city to help the soldiers defending the city carry grain, weapons, and rolling stones, and become a part of the army defending the city.
Of course.
It's all a small thing, just a gesture.
For Yang Chuan, a big Han chef, cooking Liu Che, Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi, Li Guang, Zhang Qian, Sima Qian, Su Jian, Dong Zhongshu and other 'big names' into one after another 'hard dishes', and at the same time, a few plates of flavored stir-fried and farmhouse snacks are at the same time, is it not dry Dandan?
The so-called people's war is more or less so.
Just when Shuofang City was urgently preparing for war, he took Sister Leopard, Silly Eagle, as well as Zhang Anshi and Huo Guang, and quietly appeared in the Evil Dragon Ridge more than fifty miles to the southwest.
This is a small mountain range that seems to be inconspicuous, but it is very majestic from a distance, like an old dragon lying on the edge of the desert, and under the backdrop of the green pines of the mountain, a huge and vicious dragon head is facing the sky, as if it is unwilling to roar and roar.
Of course, these are all 'miracles' given by Yang Chuan.
Even, even the name of 'Evil Dragon Mountain' was casually named by Yang Chuan, because the original name of this mountain seems to be 'Kyakhta Mountain', and like 'Kyakhta City', it is the name of the Xiongnu language, which means 'mountain with deer'.
meat, which is roasted whole lamb; Wine is Yang's Jiuliangye.
For the Huns, there is wine and meat, and if they can sing and dance again, it will be the most beautiful thing in the world.
So, when Yang Chuan, Sister Leopard, Zhang Anshi, and Huo Guang slowly appeared on the stage, Tang Yi's father roared angrily, took a few big steps first, and came to a clearing to start singing.
The song says: [What joy is in life, and what is the pain in death; Blazing flames, burning my body; There is no joy in life, and there is no pain in death; The vast snow covers my grassland......]
Tang Yi's father's voice was low, hoarse, and vast, with a touch of indescribable sadness, which made Yang Chuan feel a sour nose when he heard it, and he felt like he was holding back a bad breath in his chest, and he couldn't wait to sing a few times.
He had to muttered in his heart: 'Actually, this Hun is the real god. ’
Under the guidance and infection of Tangyi's father, more than 3,000 Hun teenagers knelt down on one knee, bowed down to Yang Chuan in unison, and sang in unison: "What joy in life, what pain in death; Blazing flames, burning my body; There is no joy in life, and there is no pain in death; The vast snow covers my pasture......"
Well, it's almost like Mingjiao.
He suddenly had a strange thought, could it be that the Persian Zoroastrianism that was spread in later generations was made by himself like this?
Of course, this thought was too outrageous, and he could only gently erase it.
Yang Chuan stood on top of a huge mountain rock, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, looked at the boundless Ulan Bu and the desert in the northwest, waved his hand lightly, and said indifferently: "Friends are here, eating meat and drinking, singing and dancing; The jackal came, with its own spear and bow and arrow.
I have given you fields, crops, pastures, and homes so that you can live a good life of stability and peace.
This kind of day should get better and better, and there is no end.
Each of us, with our own diligence and sweat, ploughs the fertile land, sows the seeds of grain, and on the pastures, our cattle, sheep, horses, chickens, ducks, geese, and poultry are incomparably fat, our cheese and wine are inexhaustible, our young men are incomparably handsome, and our maidens are as beautiful as fairies.
But! ”
His magnetic and seductive language paused for a few breaths before continuing: "But here comes the demons who once oppressed us, treating us like pigs, dogs, animals, and slaves.
They bring death, plunder, barbaric slaughter and endless humiliation, and the homes we have just built will be burned down by those demons, and our cattle, sheep and horses will belong to the noble lords who are high above, and our children will become the property of those beasts.
Our women will become playthings in other people's tents, stripped and cleaned, and left to the wanton humiliation and savage gallop of those wolves......
Are you willing to go back to those hopeless years? ”
The cousin's father took the lead and roared: "I don't want to! ”
The three thousand Hun boys hesitated slightly, and roared in unison: "Unwilling!" ”
The cousin's father wasted no time in roaring two slogans: "I want to be a man, not a slave!" ”
This sentence was naturally taught by Yang Chuan in advance......
Naturally, the three thousand Hun boys roared in unison three times: "I want to be a man, not a slave!" I want to be a man, not a slave! I want to be a man, not a slave! ”
I want to be a man, not a slave!
That's a good thing to say.
Especially on the top of this high mountain, surrounded by ravines and canyons, the rather immature roar of these three thousand teenagers spread far away, and was soon 'reflected' back, forming a huge roar, like 100,000 people and millions of people roaring in unison.
At this moment, the three thousand teenagers burst into tears, pulled out their knives one after another, and slashed their faces three times.
These guys.
Watching the three thousand teenagers cut their faces with knives, the visual impact made Yang Chuan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes; The knives in the hands of these people are stained with mutton fat, and who knows if there are any bacteria or anything like that......
He waved his hand and said loudly, "Okay, everyone continue to eat meat and drink wine." ”
The three thousand teenagers suddenly agreed, got up one after another, returned to their seats, and looked at Yang Chuan, Sister Leopard, Zhang Anshi, and Huo Guang in unison, and everyone's eyes were full of awe, fascination, and dependence.
This time he came out and pretended to be forced, and Yang Chuan was fully prepared.
He once again put on a white mink robe, deerskin boots, and a lambskin hat, tied a belt inlaid with gold and precious stones around his waist, and hung gold jewelry, mutton fat and jade accessories on his neck, wrists, ankles, etc., making his handsome little face inexplicably charming.
Sister Leopard's dress is relatively simple, except for a gold collar inlaid with eighteen gems around her neck, which looks extremely noble.
In addition, Zhang Anshi and Huo Guang, who appeared in front of the Huns for the first time, also wore a gorgeous little robe, small boots and small hat, and the belt with gold patterns around the waist was more gorgeous and gorgeous than those princes and princesses in Weiyang Palace.
Tsk, this kind of appearance is quite bluffing.
Especially when the two stupid eagles circled a few times in the air, one swooped down, landed on Yang Chuan's shoulder with great lightness, and used their sharp mouths to gently comb Yang Chuan's slightly messy hair a few times......
Well, even the cousin's father was stunned.
Not to mention those uninformed Hun teenagers, they were dumbfounded one by one, and couldn't help but pull out their knives, and wanted to cut their faces a few times.
The corners of Yang Chuan's mouth twitched a few times, and Wen Yan smiled: "Brothers, is today's lamb meat still fat?" ”
The three thousand teenagers nodded fiercely: "Hmm! ”
Yang Chuan: "Today's wine, can it still be mellow?" ”
The three thousand teenagers nodded again: "Hmm! ”
Yang Chuan nodded slightly, and turned his face to look at the father of Tangyi, who was the leader: "Uncle Tangyi, protect our crops and homes, and leave it to them." ”
The cousin's father nodded, and the urn roared angrily: "No! ”
Several Hun teenagers brought up several large plates of roasted whole mutton, and in front of Yang Chuan's three people, a leopard, and two eagles, six wine bowls were placed in a row, and filled with 'Yang's nine grains', bowed their bodies, and slowly retreated.
Yang Chuan very elegantly tore off a piece of fat lamb, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and looked at the humble Hun teenagers, and his heart was inexplicably blocked.
"You don't need to be so humble and lowly," Yang Chuan took a sip of wine and said gently: "I am willing to be a man, not a slave, this sentence cannot be said in vain." ”
"In the face of a demon like Yi Zhixi, we must always remind ourselves that we are willing to be a human being, not a slave."
"In the same way, in the face of me, you must remind yourselves that you are willing to be human and not slave."
"That is to say, in this world, there is no high or low at all, I am a human being, you are also a human being, in the final analysis, we are real brothers in life and death, relatives and friends who help each other, support each other, and warm each other in this bullshit world."
Yang Chuan's Xiongnu dialect is very fluent, coupled with his excellent appearance and quite magnetic voice, this 'heart-digging' words are like a magic sound, and soon entered the hearts of three thousand Hun boys.
Since being abducted and deceived by his cousin's father into Shuofang County, in fact, almost all the Huns are very worried, for fear of being persecuted and becoming slaves of the Han people.
More than half a year has passed.
What everyone feared did not happen, on the contrary, the legendary 'Heavenly Khan', the high-ranking 'taboo', did not treat everyone badly, but sent people to send a steady stream of food and farm tools, and helped everyone cultivate the fields and build tall and bright wooden houses......
Looking at the faces of the young men, a smile gradually appeared, and Yang Chuan's face was full of a gentle smile: "So, in order not to make us slaves, each of us will have to pay the price." ”
"In order not to be a slave, I am willing to shed blood, willing to sacrifice, and willing to fight for it all my life."
"So, what about you? Can it be done? ”
The three thousand Hun boys suddenly promised: "Yes!" ”
Yang Chuan nodded and asked loudly: "You, are you willing to swear to heaven with me, in order not to be a slave, in order to protect our homeland, relatives and friends, are you willing to shed blood and sacrifice?" Are you willing to fight for it for the rest of your life? ”
Three thousand boys: "Wish! ”
Yang Chuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The first level of brainwashing was successfully passed......
"In this case, today is a rare good day," Yang Chuan took a bowl of wine and slowly stood up, "I, Yang Chuan, swore an oath with three thousand brothers today, and I am willing to shed blood and sacrifice for it, and I am willing to fight for it for the rest of my life!" ”
"If you break this oath!"
He casually spilled a bowl of wine on the ground, and continued to vow aloud: "I am willing to be abandoned by man and God!" ”
The three thousand Hun boys learned from Yang Chuan's appearance, got up one after another, spilled a bowl of wine on the ground, and swore in unison: "If you violate this oath, you are willing to be abandoned by people and gods!" ”
The valley shook and the smell of wine filled.
The scene was a little chilling for a while.
Sister Leopard stood up slowly, jumped slightly, and appeared in front of everyone, stretching out its bright red tongue of nearly a foot, and licking the hair on its face neatly; Two sand sculptures suddenly flew up and soared high in the sky, like two Dharma protectors, full of a certain mysterious beauty.
Even Zhang Anshi and Huo Guang, who were on the side, were deeply shocked, and recited a sentence silently: "If you violate this oath, you are willing to be abandoned by both people and gods!" ”
Yang Chuan stood in the hunting wind, nodded with great satisfaction, pointed to the direction of the dragon's head peak of the 'Evil Dragon Ridge', and instructed indifferently: "You eat meat and drink first, and then I will kill the evil dragon, so as to cheer up today's oath." ”
When he had finished speaking, he walked slowly, in the direction of the highest peak......
……
Seeing Yang Chuan and Sister Leopard drifting away, everyone was stunned.
Slay the dragon?
This is a land immortal...... What a job!
