Chapter 30 Merger of States
A few days later, Ma Heng left the city alone with several guards. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Juyong Guan has full authority to let Jia Xu be the main one, and Gai Xun is responsible for the auxiliary.
All the way to the horse, Ma Heng and so on a few days has come to the territory of Bingzhou, and these days of seeing and hearing also made Ma Heng feel a lot, the Qiang rebellion for Liangzhou The destructive power is really amazing, the already densely populated boundary is thousands of miles without people, full of devastation. This Liangzhou really can't be used as the foundation of the king's hegemony, no wonder Dong Zhuo can't wait to leave here.
Bingzhou, a state that was one of the few states in the Han Dynasty that was not affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion. That's because the strength of the Han people in this place is really not strong, if Liangzhou is still half and half of the proportion of Qiang Han people, then Bingzhou is a large state where Han people account for only one-tenth of one-two, and the two counties of Yunzhong and Wuyuan have in fact long been occupied by the Southern Xiongnu and others. Up to now, the five counties of Dingxiang, Yunzhong, Wuyuan, Shuofang, and Shangjun have lost their population to almost no longer belong to the Han Dynasty, and it can be said that except for Taiyuan County, Shangdang County, which is still in the hands of Dingyuan, the rest of the counties have actually been occupied by ethnic minorities such as Xiongnu Xianbei and others, plus the Xiongnu in the north, it can be said that the situation is extremely complicated. For example, the Zhang Liao family was originally the descendants of Nie Yi, the initiator of the famous Ma Yi conspiracy during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and was forced to change the surname Zhang in order to avoid the resentment of the Huns.
Entering the land of the state, Ma Heng was also low-key all the way to the dust, and then plunged into the wilderness, the wilderness is vast, but across the land of the two states, in fact, Ma Heng can also directly from the Xiliang barbaric land all the way directly to the barbaric land of the state, the straight-line distance is much shorter, but it is not just a dozen days to reach.
When I came to the place where I agreed to meet the local black-clothed guard, by a stream on the border of the wilderness, I didn't see the black-clothed guard.
He Shishi, who was traveling with the black-clothed guards, hurriedly said: "The lowly post has been in contact with the Ministry of Merge, and he will definitely not come for no reason, so he neglects the lord so much, it is estimated that something may be delayed." ”
Ma Heng nodded but did not speak, but ordered everyone to investigate around. Then he walked to the stream himself. Take a closer look around. There are dense forests all around, but it is similar to the barbaric land on the border of Liangzhou, and there is no trace of demon beasts around, and it seems that there is no shortage of human traces here in the past.
Looking down at the stream, there was finally a living thing, but a school of thin fish wandering.
Ma Heng looked at him for a moment, and then found that a group of fine fish at the bottom of the clear stream were all gathered together. As if eating life, he picked up a stone and shot it into the stream, and the group of fish suddenly dispersed, and found an iron plaque at the bottom of the stream that was hidden by the group of fish. Ma Heng hurriedly scooped it up, and it was the waist card that depicted the three characters of the black guard. Smelling his soaked right hand, there was still a trace of blood. It seems that the group of fish was attracted by the smell of blood, and the smell of blood can still remain in the water until this moment, it seems that there is still a lot of blood, and it should not have been in the water for a long time.
And the guards who went to investigate around at this moment also found a rag in a bush. There were also blood stains on the rags.
"It looks like something happened to have happened. ”
"My lord, there are blood stains along the path by the grass, and I shouldn't have gone far. ”
"Catch up and have a look. Ma Heng hurriedly took the five guards and He Shishi to look for them along the bloodstains.
After searching for more than ten miles, Ma Heng and the others had already gone out of the range of the Savage Land again, and saw a small village in the distance with its back to the Savage Land, which was supposed to be a quiet and peaceful place, but at this moment there were bursts of noisy sounds. What he said was not Chinese, but He Shishi heard that it was Xianbei language. Of course, he couldn't understand what was being said.
There are quirks.
Leaving one person to guard the horses, Ma Heng quietly sneaked towards the village with the remaining five people.
Gathering their breath, the six of them quickly sneaked under the stone walls around the village.
I saw that the village was already a miasma, and the center of the village was densely packed with bound villagers, and there were hundreds of people. Several barbarian soldiers armed with weapons dressed as men were in charge of guarding the surrounding area. There were more than a dozen corpses dressed as villagers lying on the ground of the village, and a group of big men dressed as barbarian soldiers were sitting together, eating and drinking, talking and laughing loudly. The weapons on his side were all bloodstained, and almost all the barbarian soldiers drifted their eyes to a room from time to time, only to see a woman's terrible screams from time to time in the house, but the screams were already quite weak, and their voices seemed to be hoarse. Ma Heng and the others also sneaked around to hear clearly.
At this moment, Ma Heng clenched the spear in his hand, but the guards around him looked not surprised. However, Ma Heng's blood, which had not been long after the modern soul crossing, was not cold after all, and his eyes were cold.
"Lord, it seems that the person wearing black over there is Li Qing and Li Baihu. He Shishi pointed to a black-clothed young man who fell to the ground next to the bound villagers.
Ma Heng nodded, and ordered everyone to sneak in through another exit of the village and kill me one by one!
sneaked in from the other side of the village, signaling the villagers who saw everyone to keep quiet, and Ma Heng and the others hid behind the villagers.
One person was in charge of one, and all five of them neatly covered up the five absent-minded guards and killed them.
And the fifteen barbarian soldiers who kept eating barbecue and drinking the villagers' home-brewed meat still didn't know anything. They had already drunk a lot, and they were in a half-drunk state, and the only conscious consciousness they had was in the room where the screams came.
Li Qing, a young man in black who was dragged behind the people, was lucky, and did not die, but lost too much blood and fell into a coma. Fortunately, Ma Heng and others brought first-aid medicine when they went out, bandaged Li Qing, fed the pills, and it depended on whether they could wake up.
"General, save us. An old man with gray hair and a relatively strong body couldn't help but shout softly to Ma Heng with tears in his eyes.
Ma Heng was stunned, and immediately rushed towards the group of barbarian soldiers with five people with spears in hand, and the breathing of some barbarian soldiers became lighter, and it seemed that they heard this shout.
"Gaba!" shouted. Then he saw that the barbarian soldier who was shouting was shot into the throat with an arrow and fell to the ground.
Three more barbarian soldiers were shot and killed. Then he was killed by Ma Heng, who was like a tiger pounceing on a flock of sheep. One by one, they were shot and fell to the ground and died. Except for a soldier with a frightened face who shouted out the four characters of the Han Dynasty army in Chinese, he was left alive.
In an instant, the barbarian soldiers were swept away, and with a loud bang, a big man rushed out of the room, using a woman with a **** body as a shield.
Signal the people not to shoot arrows. Ma Heng was murderous at the disheveled brute, "Let her go!"
"Yes, call you, men, to throw away the bow and arrows. Throw it away!" the brute with a fierce expression shouted at the barbarian who was not proficient in Chinese.
Ma Heng waved his hand and asked everyone to throw away their bows and arrows. The barbarian was also decisive, seeing that the guards had just put down their bows and arrows, he threw the woman in his hand at Ma Heng, turned around and ran to the place where the horses were tortured, and tore off the ropes, and several horses immediately scattered and ran, while the barbarian jumped on a horse and rode his horse to the entrance of the village.
Catching the woman with one hand, Ma Heng's eyes narrowed, and the spear in his hand left his hand quickly, only to see that the barbarian who had run to the entrance of the village was suddenly shot in the back and fell off the horse.
Let the horses be retrieved. Then notify the guards who had been guarding their horses to come over. Walking towards the villagers and handing over the woman in his hand to the villagers who were crying bitterly, Ma Heng sighed softly, the woman had already died.
