The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 148 Killing

"If this is the case, then he will never be able to complete his mission!"

The military minister Shan Yu said: "Then imprison him on the grassland and let him graze for me, the Huns!"

Hearing the words of the military minister Shanyu, Erti breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was angry and said: "This is too easy for him!"

Later, the military minister Shanyu looked at Erti again, and then a solemn look appeared on his face, and said: "Recently, the countries in the Western Regions have been quite disobedient, and even the taxes this year have been much less. Erti, after three days, Then you take two thousand warriors to the Western Regions and urge the countries in the Western Regions to pay taxes!"

Then, he looked at Yi Zhike aside and said: "You lead three thousand warriors to the Han border town, plunder property, and test the Han's intentions towards me, the Huns!"

"Yes!"

When he heard that he could fight, Yi Zhike showed excitement on his face, and he immediately accepted the order excitedly.

…………

Zhang Qian could clearly feel that something big was going to happen in the Xiongnu royal court.This made him wary and started to speculate.

However, Erti came secretly and told him what was about to happen to the Huns.

"What, the Huns want to attack the Han Dynasty?"

Zhang Qian was surprised, with a solemn look on his face.

However, Erti on the side said: "It's just to let three thousand Xiongnu invade the border!"

Hearing this, Zhang Qian still shook his head and said: "The Xiongnu invaded the Han Dynasty. No matter how many troops they used, it was a provocation to the Han Dynasty. I wonder if the Han Dynasty can handle it..."

Erti also shook his head and said: "I have just gained the trust of the military minister Shanyu, but he still asked me to go to the countries in the Western Regions to collect taxes!"

The Xiongnu enslaved the countries in the Western Regions, collected taxes, and supported themselves.

Zhang Qian knew what Er Ti meant. What he meant was that he could not stop the military minister Chanyu from violating the Han Dynasty's order.

……

The horses neighed and the wind howled.

On the grassland, the Huns cavalry gathered together roaring, holding scimitars in their hands, ready to set off with fierce fighting spirit.

At this time, Erti and Yizhike went to different places.

Erti sent two thousand soldiers and horses to the Western Regions, while Yizhike sent three thousand soldiers and horses to Dahan Dynasty County, Shangjun and other places.

"Let's compete to see who returns first and who brings more belongings!"

Yi Zhike looked at Erti and said.

"it is good!"

Erti nodded, without any hesitation, and headed directly to the Western Region with two thousand soldiers and horses.

Watching Er Ti's leaving figure, the smile on Yi Zhike's face gradually faded, and then he turned his head and ordered a Huns beside him, saying: "Go, bring that Han man over, I want to take him and witness it in person Their Han people were slaughtered!”

"Yes!"

After a while, I saw Zhang Qian being brought over by the Huns. Zhang Qian looked confused and did not resist. He just looked at Yizhike and asked, "Where are you taking me?"

"Of course I will send you back to Dahan!"

A playful smile appeared on Yi Zhike's face, and he immediately asked Zhang Qian to mount his horse, and then headed south.

……

Zhang Qian was in a heavy heart. At this time, Yizhike actually took him to Dahanbian Town, which he never expected.

But at this moment, he was already sitting on their war horses, and they had been traveling for nearly ten days, and they were about to reach the border of the Han Dynasty.

During this period, they cultivated themselves in the land of Hexi, which used to be the territory of Qin during the Qin Dynasty.During the Qin Dynasty, the Xiongnu took advantage of the chaos and occupied it until today.

The land west of Hexi is rich in water and grass, rich in products, and very rich.

In the south, Dahanbian Town seemed a bit desolate.

Yellow sand is flying, and the yellow-brown city sits on the earth.Although the climate is dry, the border towns are also quite prosperous.

There are soldiers guarding the city wall made of earth and stone.

In a tea shop, an old man was seen talking to the tea guests.

"Sir, would you like hot tea or herbal tea?"

“In this hot weather, of course it’s herbal tea!”

A burly man wiped the sweat from his body, sat at the wooden table under the simple shed, and said.

"okay!"

The old man was dressed in coarse linen clothes. When he heard the man's words, he immediately responded and then ordered the tea stall, "Liyue, serve tea to the guests quickly!"

"Got it, Dad!"

The next moment, I saw a woman walking out of the tea stall. She was wearing the same simple coarse linen clothes. It was so wide that no one could see her figure clearly.

Moreover, the bun is quite simple and messy, and there is some dazzling dirt on the face. Although it makes people's eyes brighten when it comes out, after seeing the dirt on the face, people look away again.

Among them was the man who just spoke.

"Old man Qin, you said you are from the mainland? How did you come to the border town? This is not a place to make a living!"

The man drank all the herbal tea in the big bowl in one gulp, and then said casually to the old man known as Old Man Qin.

When Old Man Qin heard this, he shook his head and said nothing.

But the man looked at Liyue who came out to pour tea, and his eyes stayed on her face, and he said regretfully: "It's a pity for your daughter. If she didn't have the birthmark, I'm afraid she would be a beauty, and she might marry a high official. Noble!"

At this point, the man changed his voice and said: "Old man Qin, your daughter is not young anymore. Although it is a border town at this time and the Han law is not up to standard, she still wants to get married!"

"I am a rough man. Although I have an iron shop, there is an apprentice in the iron shop who is interested in Liyue. I wonder what you think, Mr. Qin?"

When the man said this, he added, "You have also seen that apprentice..."

While talking to Old Man Qin, Liyue, who was pouring tea for the man, had a calm expression on her face. After busying herself, she turned around and entered the tea stall.

When Old Man Qin heard this, he shook his head slightly and said, "I appreciate your kindness, old man, but my daughter once had a marriage contract with someone. Although it was a verbal agreement, it is hard to break one's promise..."

"A marriage contract..."

Hearing this, the man was stunned, then nodded in understanding and said: "We really can't break the promise..."

……

Time passed slowly, and it was getting closer to evening. This was just a small city among the border towns, and the city walls were very low.

However, it is also prosperous because of trade.

The father and son at the tea stall were busy cleaning up the tea stall.Liyue held a rag and wiped the tables and chairs clean, then sat behind the counter in the tea shop, quietly watching the passers-by on the street outside.

When there was no one around, Old Qin looked at his daughter and said, "It's time to return..."

"I know father..."

Liyue responded softly, her voice was clear and sweet, but she was only twenty years old, but her eyes were full of thoughts.

Seeing this, Old Man Qin sighed softly, but felt a little regretful. Then he took the rag in his hand and wiped the tables and chairs outside again.

As the sun sets, the hustle and bustle of the border town cannot enter the small tea shop. It seems that this is another world. Entering it, people can't help but feel calm.

The number of pedestrians outside gradually became less and less, and the sound of camel bells could be heard still echoing in my ears.

Just when everyone in the border town thought it was just another ordinary day, suddenly there was a noise in the distance.

The noise this time was so harsh that everyone couldn't help but look sideways.

Old Qin in the tea shop was surprised. He raised his head and looked in the direction of the northern city gate and said doubtfully: "The noise seems to be coming from outside the city..."

Liyue, who was behind the counter, also looked up in the direction of the city gate, but then lowered her head.

"I gonna go see……"

Old Qin put down the rag in his hand and was about to go out.

However, the next moment, there were suddenly frightened shouts from the distance, and then, many people quickly fled here. At the same time, there were screams and the sound of horse hooves.

"The Huns are here!"

"Run!"

"The Huns are coming!"

"Do not kill me……"

……

The screams suddenly entered his ears, causing Old Qin, who had just taken the first step, to freeze in place.

Then, he quickly turned around and looked at Liyue behind him, "Liyue, hurry! Hide!"

"The Huns are here!"

But before he could speak, a war horse had already arrived behind him, and then the cold light of the sharp blade flashed, illuminating Liyue's face behind the counter.

"Pfft!"

Blood spurted out, and Old Qin fell into a pool of blood. The blood gushed out, soaking the dry dust, and reflected his eyes that were still open red.

Behind the counter, a look of horror appeared on Liyue's face. She saw her father lying in a pool of blood. Before she could cry, she saw that the Huns had gotten off their horses and tied Liyue up. Like leading a sheep, behind the horse.

The originally prosperous border town was suddenly shrouded in flames of war, killings, and bloodshed. In every house, people fell down, and the sound of women crying could be heard. They were then tied up with ropes and forcibly pulled behind the horses.

Zhang Qian looked at the scene in front of him, but he was helpless. He was tied hand and foot, tied to the horse, and guarded by soldiers, allowing him to witness this scene.

Cries, lamentations, and curses came and went.

Although a small border town was guarded by Han troops, the number of people was not large. They were quickly slaughtered by the Huns. The last dozen or so people were also surrounded and made their final struggle in an open space!

A cheerful smile appeared on Izuku's face, looking like a devil against the setting sun and firelight.

He looked at the dozen or so Han soldiers who were surrounded with a look of amusement on his face.

He stepped forward to mount his horse, looked down at the injured soldiers, and said: "I will not kill those who surrender!" However, he spoke in Xiongnu dialect, and seemed to be afraid that the other party would not understand, so he directly brought Zhang Qian up.

At this moment, Zhang Qian suddenly appeared in the eyes of everyone, including the surrounded Han people.

"Captain Li, that person... seems to be a Han!"

Among the surrounded Han soldiers, a man wearing captain's armor had a pale face, and his hand holding a Han sword was bleeding continuously.

On the side, a soldier suddenly said.

So, they also looked at Zhang Qian among the Huns.

"Really Han Chinese..."

"Hmph! He actually surrendered to the Huns and became their lackey!"

The captain and the surrounding soldiers were immediately furious and glared at Zhang Qian.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Qian felt pain in his heart, but he had no choice but to translate it to the captain based on what Yizhike said just now.

"surrender?!"

When the captain heard this, a miserable smile appeared on his face. He looked at his comrades around him and regarded death as life.

"Brothers, how are you doing?!"

he asked loudly.

"Swear to the death and fight to the end!"

More than a dozen Han soldiers shouted together. Although they were in a desperate situation, they still had a strong fighting spirit.

Seeing this, how could Yizhike not understand what was going on, and immediately ordered the surrounding Huns to take action.

"kill!"

More than a dozen Han soldiers raised their swords to meet each other. They flew into the flames, even if they were facing certain death, they still moved forward indomitably!

As corpses fell one after another, in the end, only the last captain remained.

The captain was skilled in martial arts. Even though he was seriously injured, he still killed several Huns. In the end, he was still exhausted.

He stood with his sword in hand so that his body could not fall down. The only thought left in his mind was that he would never fall down.

The integrity of the Han people cannot be lost!
The knees of the Han people can kneel on heaven and earth, on their emperors, and on their parents, but they cannot fall before Hulu!

He gritted his teeth, looked at the Huns who were gradually approaching in front of him, and smiled desolately:
"How can we Han people surrender to the barbarians?"

"What a pity that I never killed the Xiongnu Chanyu! What a pity! What a pity..."

Stop it and die!

Yi Zhike stepped forward on his horse and brandished his sword to kill him.

……

Zhang Qian looked back and looked at the Hanbian Town behind him. At this time, it had turned into a ruin.

Zhang Qian didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but at this moment, it seemed that he could hear the wailing of the dead, which was still echoing.

They cried and screamed.

With the cheers and excitement of the Huns in my ears, they gradually fade away...

…………

In the sixth year of Jianyuan, autumn.When the Xiongnu entered the dynasty and went to the county, they killed the captains and massacred the common people.

When the news reached Chang'an, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was furious. He immediately led the troops to attack the Huns!

At the same time, the news spread to Chang'an City and became known to the people.

Hearing that the people in the border town were brutally slaughtered by the Huns, the people of Chang'an were angry. At the same time, the people of the world were even more angry after hearing this.

Because the divine bird appeared in the Han Dynasty, the people of the world turned to the Han Dynasty and thought that the Han Dynasty was the right one. However, at this time, the Huns knelt down and offended, which made them angry.

Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che raised his troops to attack the Xiongnu in compliance with public opinion.

Outside Chang'an City, above the school grounds.

Tens of thousands of soldiers stood tall, wearing armor, flying flags, holding guns in their hands, looking very powerful.

The Chariot General Wei Qing and the Valiant Cavalry General Li Guang both look like middle-aged men, tall and very brave.At this time, he was wearing armor and standing on the military platform, beating drums to gather troops.

With the sound of drums, the Han army marched out!
……

At this time, Zhang Qian looked at the Han woman bound by the rope behind the Huns, with a look of sadness and anger on his face, but he was helpless.

In fact, whenever the Huns set up camp, hearing the sounds of the Huns' wanton lewdness in the tents and the screams of the Han women made him even more tormented.

Late at night, Zhang Qian couldn't bear it anymore, and finally said to the divine bird in his body: "Sacred bird, I want to kill someone!"

There was hatred in his eyes, which seemed to glow with scarlet light in the darkness.

Bai Zhi was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Zhang Qian to be able to endure it for so long. He thought that Zhang Qian would not be able to bear it on the first night.

At this time, three days had passed, and there were nearly a hundred Han women, but there were already a dozen missing.

However, Yi Zhike seemed to be very measured and kept the young and beautiful Han woman without moving.

"Go!"

Bai Zhi nodded. For Zhang Qian at this time, no one was his opponent.As for being outnumbered, Bai Zhi will take action.

……

In the darkness of the night, Zhang Qian cautiously came out of the tent and saw the Huns patrolling outside. He immediately killed one of the Huns in his sleep and then took away his weapon.

Next, he entered the remaining tents and transformed into the night god of death, harvesting the lives of the Huns.

There are too many Han women. If they are released, the Huns will be awakened. Therefore, all the Huns can only be killed!

Zhang Qian walked through each camp, but as time passed, the smell of blood filled the air, which immediately attracted the attention of the patrollers. The next moment, he was discovered!
"Enemy attack!"

"Someone sneaked in!"

"..."

The Huns woke up quickly, and Zhang Qian just walked out of a tent and was bumped into by the Huns.

"Han people!"

"It's you!"

The Huns were shocked and immediately raised their swords to chop, but they were Zhang Qian's opponent!
Zhang Qian moved fiercely, swung his sword to meet him, and killed the opponent with just a few moves.

As the noise grew louder, the Huns gathered again.

At the same time, Yizhike also woke up, and under the leadership of his soldiers, he came to the surrounded Zhang Qian!
"Why are you committing murder!?"

Yi Zhike stared at Zhang Qian fiercely, gritting his teeth and filled with murderous intent.

Zhang Qian was not afraid at all. The dagger in his hand was dripping with the blood of the Huns last time, and there was a look of determination on his face.

"You Huns are just beasts! We should kill them, so what?"

Zhang Qian looked at Yi Zhike, "Those who kill will always be killed!"

"Very good, even if your brother protects you, you will die today!"

Yi Zhike felt a little regretful. He originally just wanted to humiliate Zhang Qian and let Zhang Qian witness the murder of his own people and experience the feeling of powerlessness!

But he never expected that even if the other party's life was in his hands, he would dare to commit murder at night!
He inspected the surroundings and found that the three thousand troops and horses he had brought with him were reduced by nearly a hundred in just one night!

Those are the warriors of the Xiongnu grassland!

At this time, Zhang Qian was actually killed!
"kill!"

Yizhike roared angrily, and the surrounding Huns quickly swarmed up.

However, Zhang Qian struggled to resist, and for a moment, the Huns were unable to get close!

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen Huns fell on the grassland.

Seeing this, Yi Zhike couldn't sit still, and immediately took out the scimitar from his waist and went into battle himself!
I saw Zhang Qian and Yizhike fighting for a moment, and Zhang Qian was consumed a lot of energy by other Huns. By accident, Yizhike chopped off his right arm.

The short knife in Zhang Qian's hand fell to the ground, and he was instantly subdued by the Huns!
"I know why you attacked at night..."

Yi Zhike took back the dagger in his hand, realized something, looked at Zhang Qian and said this.

"Is it for you Han women?!"

A ferocious smile appeared on Yi Zhike's face, "In that case, I want you to see your Han women being enjoyed by my Huns warriors!"

"Let you watch my Hun warrior gallop on the body of a Han woman!!"

Zhang Qian was pushed to the ground, and then a large number of Han women were driven out. They crowded together in fear, as if they only needed to be crowded together to gain a weak sense of security.

When the surrounding Huns saw this, their eyes suddenly lit up, and some of them began to look at the Han women wantonly, and made obscene remarks one after another.

Zhang Qian gritted his teeth and looked angry, but his whole body was held down by the Huns and he couldn't move!
Seeing this, Yizhike showed a happy face, and immediately ordered the Huns around him, "Each person chooses a Han woman, and tonight, we will have a wild carnival!!!"

"it is good!"

"The general is mighty!"

"happy!"

"..."

Yi Zhike's words aroused cheers from the Huns. The Huns instantly swarmed into the Han women, hugging them from left to right, and being picked like goods.

"Please... the divine bird help me!!!"

When Zhang Qian saw this, his eyes were tearing up and he was shouting in his heart.
