Qiang Qin

Tianshan.

Stretching across the middle of the Western Regions, a towering and huge mountain range divides the south and the north into two completely different climate zones. The south is drier and hot and arid. Except for a little oasis in the desert where caravans can rest, the rest of the place is impossible for humans to survive. in the treacherous lands of the North, the situation is quite different.

Although the severe cold currents and blizzards from Siberia visit this land several times a year, the abundant snowfall and strong winds just make up for the lack of climate in the inland areas. It can nourish thousands of living beings here.

The Dayuezhi people moved westward all the way, and finally arrived at this place: Bogur Prairie.

The Baiyang tribe of Bai Guangji and Jinxi came to the Bogur Grassland from the Altai Mountains on the 21st of the first month. During more than [-] days, the Baiyang tribe and the Huns' trailing cavalry confronted several times. Retired the opponent, but for this, the Hexi Qiang paid a heavy price with the death of more than [-] soldiers.

The essentials of the march.

It's about being quick.

Today's Aries tribe has nearly 5 people, of which women and children account for about 4, but there are less than 1 men who can fight, and among these [-] people, there are still many wounded soldiers.

In the battle of Zhaisangbo, the vitality of the Baiyang tribe was severely injured. Those tribes that collapsed on their own only cared about their lives, and even threw their women and children to Jin Xi. This is also the reason why the Baiyang tribe moved slowly when they returned to the east.

Bai Guangji was anxious. Along the way, he tried to persuade Jin Xi several times, hoping that she would make a firm decision, leave this group of women and children behind, and lead the soldiers and strong women of the tribe to go first, but Jin Xi hesitated again and again, and still rejected Bai Guangji's advice. discuss.

Witchcraft.

It is to make people convincing, to make people feel awe and surrender from the heart.

Over the years, Jin Xi has been able to grow from a witch to a witch king because of the support and love of his tribe.And this kind of support is the return of her long-term uninterrupted care for the clan. If she abandons the old and weak of the clan and runs away first when the clan is in danger, her heart will never be at peace.

Jinxi's stubbornness and persistence finally cost the Baiyang Tribe a heavy price. In the Ili Valley, the Baiyang Tribe was accidentally plotted against by the Dayuezhi people. Hundreds of warriors were surrounded by tens of thousands of people, and Bai Guangji led his troops to rush from left to right.After a day and night of fierce fighting, all the strong Hexi Qiang soldiers were killed.

January 23, noon.

The five children surnamed Bai who guarded Bai Guangji fought to the death one after another.

Bai Guangji was also injured in several places all over his body. The massive blood loss made his face like gold paper, and his body on the horse was also crumbling. If it wasn't for the support in his heart, he might also fall down with the soldiers of Hexi Qiang .

Today in the Western Regions.

The blue color makes it impossible to see the slightest cloud, and reminds him of the mountains and rivers of Feng Ling, Fufeng, his hometown when he was a child.While Bai Guangji was in a trance, the strong man of the month raised his saber high.

When seeing the strong soldiers under his command beheading the head of the last stubborn enemy chieftain, Yuezhi King and the Hun envoy Xumi Buda laughed at the same time.

Xumi Buda, the envoy of the Huns, has changed a lot in ten years.His beard and hair are also paler, but his cunning is still the same as before.

Xumi Buda is behind the encirclement and suppression of the Hexi Qiang and Baiyang tribes by the Dayue branch.Under his lobbying, King Yuezhi also seemed to have forgotten the fact that the head of his predecessor was still being dripped by the Xiongnu Da Shanyu Modun every day.The main reason for this is that the blood relationship between the current Da Yuezhi King and the Yuezhi King who unfortunately died in battle is very far.Even in their previous generation, they were killed bloodily for the throne.

A tribe with a large population but lacking the protection of warriors is a coveted strong gazelle in the competition on the grassland.

Faced with this huge temptation, Yuezhiren could no longer restrain his greed.

——.

The world is vast.

The storm sweeping across the northwest, after raging the wilderness around the Altai Mountains and Tianshan Mountains, continued to move southward rapidly, and the entire Hexi County was soon shrouded in snow.

New Year's Eve just passed.

This Spring Festival, for the first time, the State of Qin set the Spring Festival holiday as a [-]-day holiday in a statutory manner. The long holiday also gave the Qin people, who are known for their rigor, a rare opportunity to relax.

The huge business opportunities in Chang'an have attracted profit-seeking merchants from the Western Regions, Wusun, Dawan and other countries. Among them, there are even big Hu merchants like Wu Zhiluo who have established themselves in the East City early and have begun to expand their stores to Luoyang, Jixian, Handan and other places in the Guandong.

At the same time, the road from Yongqi to Jincheng and Gaizang City was completed in November last year under the work of tens of thousands of Kwantung prisoners of war day and night, which made the eastern end of the Silk Road smoother. stand up.

Gaizang City East.

A team of the Qin army marched through the wind and snow, and the fierce rimmed banners were rolled by the strong wind, but the brows of the soldiers holding the flags were all dyed white, but he was stubborn Holding on, he lifted the heavy banner high above his head.

"Da Qin——! This is King Wu's chariot!" A man from Guanzhong who hid to the side of the road showed shock and murmured softly.

"King Wu, why is it so urgent in this snowy day? Could it be that there is a big change in Hexi?" Hearing the exclamation of his companion, the bearded and bearded merchant who was with him changed his mind.

"Big change, what did brother Wu think of?" asked the man in Guanzhong.

"Hehe, it's just some guesswork. There's no basis for it. Let's go. It's better to get to the previous stop earlier than to be frozen in the snowstorm." Qiuxu Hushang replied with a smile.

Hexi Corridor.

It is self-evident that the geographical location connecting Guanzhong and the Western Regions is important, but in this winter, the soldiers and horses in the Hexi and Longxi areas where the Qin Army was stationed were frequently mobilized. Does this mean that Qin is preparing to fight against the Huns? If this is the case, the Hexi commercial road may be blocked in a short period of time, and once the transportation of goods is blocked, the price will inevitably increase several times.

Hu Shang has a flexible mind in business, and he thought of this level faster than his companions in Guanzhong. However, he obviously didn't want to talk about the way of doing business that he had realized.

Merchants on the side of the road whispered to themselves, while the speeding Qin army team had disappeared in the long wind and snow. In the spacious carriage covered with thick furs, King Wu Li Yuan squinted his eyes slightly. I was thinking about the urgent military situation in the Western Regions that came from Hexi one after another.

The Dayuezhi people joined hands with the Huns!

This unexpected change made Li Yuan's layout in the Western Regions all of a sudden difficult. Although the Yuezhi tribe was seriously injured by the Huns' attack, who should be compared with them? Nothing, but compared with the countries of the Western Regions, Yuezhi is a huge force.

Qin’s allies in the Western Regions are mainly the 36 countries in the Western Regions headed by Loulan, but most of these small countries are distributed in the oases south of the Tianshan Mountains, and some small countries such as Jingjue are only the outline of a city. If people send troops to the south of the Tianshan Mountains, these small countries may not be able to resist.

In addition, after the Hexi Qiang battle against Quanmo, Jin Xi finally woke up from the bloody lesson. She personally led more than 27 surviving warriors from the Baiyang Guifang tribe to break through the encirclement and interception of the Yuezhi people. , Arrived at the westernmost border of Hexi County in the State of Qin - Dunhuang City.

After Jin Xi and his tribe arrived in Dunhuang, they did not directly enter the territory of Qin State, but chose to attach themselves to the Luobu Daze area between Loulan and Qin State. Judging from their appearance, they should be still hesitating whether to enter Qin State.

When the Guirong Baiyang tribe was at its most powerful, the total population was about 5000. It can be called a large tribe in the Altai Mountains and the Irtysh River Basin, and there are more than [-] small tribes attached to it. After this unprecedented catastrophe, there were not one out of ten tribes who accompanied Jinxi back to the east. Among the [-] people, there were only more than [-] healthy women, and as for children under ten years old, there were only more than [-].

With the current situation of the Aries Tribe, not to mention restoring the strength of a strong clan, it would be difficult not to be annexed. Jin Xi was also worried about how the Qin Congress would treat them. It is still the current Aries, and there is no friendship with Qin. (To be continued..)
