Earthwork.

At the top was a middle-aged man named Wu Yuhou, whose beard was unkempt and unkempt, and his cloak was like a beast, but looking at that dark face, there was a sense of majesty that had been in a high position for a long time.

Beside him was a white young man who didn't look like a Turkata.

"I have called you here today mainly for the sake of food, and winter is about to begin. "Wu Yu Hou Dao, he is the leader of the Tufang tribe.

All of you here are important people who are currently powerful in Turkey.

"I can only do this, try to follow the ancestors, go to the border of the Central Plains to plunder, the Central Plains is not the same as before, it is getting weaker and weaker, and the ghost side is ready to move, the so-called Northwest Protectorate did not attack, but set up a market for trade, it is a joke. "The man who spoke was a burly man named Uri, a rare warrior.

"Yes, it is difficult to grow water and grass in winter, and there is not enough cattle and sheep, so we can't support us through the winter. "At this time, it was an old man named Yi Shangxiao, who was quite prestigious.

“.....”

"Why don't you give it a try?"

The others agreed.

The white-faced young man saw that everyone had the intention of going south to plunder, so he looked at the Marquis of Wuyu.

The Marquis nodded slightly.

So he said, "Listen to me, everybody. ”

The people of the Tufang people present looked at him, their eyes were quite fierce, this Central Plains man came to the earthwork many days ago, brought a lot of salt, in exchange for a little favor from them, but if you want to stop the southward raid, then kill.

This is the simple and rude thinking of the earthwork people, even if there was favor and favor before, if it was in the way, it would be killed.

This young man with a white face is called Ji Xian, and he is the third son of Ji Chang.

Ji Xian said calmly: "Yin Shang is now the king of Zhou, the king of Zhou has a perverse personality, he thinks that he has no one in his eyes, shouting that he has great achievements, and even claims to be the first emperor, so there are many princes who are dissatisfied, the frontier is building the Great Wall, in order to prevent border troubles, this is your last opportunity, once the Great Wall is completed, it will be difficult to invade, so I think you not only have to go south, but also go directly to Chaoge, surround Chaoge with a soldier and horse, and capture the king of Zhou who is out of patrol with another army and horses, and use him as a bargaining chip to establish subordination, so as to exchange for more long-term interests." ”

Ji Xian's words shocked everyone in the court, and no one answered for a while, it was already rare to muster up the courage to go south, and to capture the king of Shang alive?

At this time, Yi Shang obliquely looked at the expression of the Marquis of Wu, and found that he was not shocked, and knew in his heart that the leader had already knew.

So he spoke: "I agree, it is better to capture the king alive than to get cold every day in these winters, or to take back the land of the ancestors directly. ”

The earthworks were expelled to the grassland by Wu Ding, and the frontier land was actually their homeland.

After Ijo finished speaking, people began to discuss again, some thought it was feasible, others felt it was too risky.

Seeing that everyone had been discussing for a long time and there was still no result, Wu Yu Hou said, "Okay, if you continue like this, the winter will be over." ”

"Now I agree with what Ji Xian said, wait outside the account, and those who don't agree will stay. ”

There were eight people left in total, and they were a little unclear so.

As soon as the Marquis waved his hand, the guards in the tent rushed up, and their heads fell to the ground.

Ji Xian's sleeve was splashed with some blood, and he endured the disgust in his heart, and said, "Chief, I'll call the others in." ”

After a while, the people who had left came back and saw the heads on the ground, as well as eight headless corpses, but they did not dare to speak.

Seeing this, the Marquis of Wu Yu said with satisfaction: "Okay, now everyone agrees, in this case, everyone go back and prepare, and set off in a few days." ”

"Yes. ”

The sound of hu, drums, and strange tunes spread over the earthwork tribes, and the endless grassland revealed a faint desolation.

The square altar towered in the center of the camp, and a dozen or so people with their heads and faces painted with the blood of beasts, dressed in the feathers of unknown birds and beasts, jumped around on the altar with wolf teeth and leather drums, and shouted words that even they themselves could not understand, and swore an oath for the army.

And the sacrifice was the eight heads.

.....

Northern.

Snow like catkins rises with the wind.

Somewhere the boundaries of the Great Wall were built.

The Great Wall was built on the basis of the earthen forts of the Wuding period, and now only part of it has been built, but the various earthen forts have been stationed to serve as outposts.

It was cold, it was snowing lightly, and as night approached, three soldiers in the earthen bunker were cooking around the fire.

"Xiao Yi, you said that this year's winter has just begun, why is it so cold. A tall, thin soldier rubbed his hands together.

"How do I know, but if it's so cold this year, will the earthworks go south to plunder?" said the dwarf Xiaoyi.

Another chubby soldier laughed a few times and said, "How is it possible, the ghost side has been about to move for a year, and the big fart has not been released, and the earthwork and ghost side are all the same, and they have long been scared by the first king!"

Xiao Yi was a little hesitant: "I'm a little uneasy, let's take turns to guard, once I find out that something is wrong, I can also light a beacon fire for General Su and them to see." ”

The tall and thin soldiers waved their hands again and again: "Spare me, we have been on the border for five or six months, how can the earthwork look like going south? In my opinion, there is no need to build this Great Wall, I heard that the princes are dissatisfied, complaining about the loss of labor and money, where did those nomadic tribes have the courage to go south? If you want me to say, the king of Zhou today is really .....?"

Xiao Yi stomped his feet: "Don't talk nonsense." ”

The tall and thin soldier smiled and said: "What are you afraid of, if it weren't for the whim of the King of Xuan to build a Great Wall, how would we come here to suffer!"

Suddenly, the chubby soldier pricked up his ears: "Wait, don't talk, listen, is the horse outside barking?"

There was silence in the field, and the tall and thin soldier said: "Hey, it seems that it really is, the beast is just restless, Xiao Yi, why don't you go and take a look, and by the way, patrol the frontier for the king of Xu." ”

"Just go. Xiao Yi got up as he spoke.

As soon as he stepped out of the earthen fort, he was pierced through the chest by a straight knife.

"Xiao Yi!"

Seeing Xiao Yi fall to the ground, the remaining two soldiers immediately got up, but before they could pick up their weapons, more than a dozen earthmen rushed in.

But instead of doing it immediately, they waited for a while.

After a while, Wu Li walked in, the scar on his face wrinkled together with a smile, and he looked a little terrifying.

He looked at the two merchant soldiers who resisted and said, "Kill." ”

There was no suspense, and the two minions were powerless to fight back and quickly fell.

"Stripped them of their clothes. ”

Wu Li ordered, and the three merchant soldiers who lost their lives were stripped of their essence in an instant.

It doesn't matter whether they are fat or bad, loyal or treacherous, or derelict in their duties, it is the same after death.

Chigo's body lay quietly in the cold snow.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded again.

......

There are few records of the Shang Dynasty, let alone the nomads at that time, all of the above were compiled
