Could it be that those people know the magic of immortality, and can blast away the towering city walls of Tianshui County at a very small price?

To be honest, when he heard the news, an extremely absurd emotion was born deep in the heart of the kingdom.

But I don't know if it's because the recent pressure is a bit too much. After Wang Guo thought of some bad things, his attitude towards the news suddenly became a little panicked.

Chapter 40 The Untold Secret

"Is this hometown really lost?"

Wang Guo knew very well about Tianshui, or the current situation in Hanyang County.

This place can be described in one word as chaos, from the inside to the outside, it is simply chaotic to the extreme.

Compared with Wujun, Danyang and other places that also belong to the fringe of the Han Dynasty, although those places also have the problem of insufficient projection of government power, at least on the bright side, the highest officer of a county is still the county prefect, and those bandits, businessmen, etc. The actual groups in the country indirectly control the development of the county and city by controlling the prefect.

This is not the case in Hanyang County. The prefect here is like a plaything of local forces. If one is not careful, it may be difficult to save his own life, let alone integrate and control the forces under his rule.

Influenced by various types of Hu people from the Western Regions and Northern Xinjiang, the prefects of the counties under the jurisdiction of the Liangzhou Governor's Department were almost the shortest-lived positions in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty.

Among these eunuchs, the luckier ones were able to work in other places for four years in office, and the unlucky ones died of conflicts between local low-level forces after working for one or two years.

The deterrent power of the Qianghu and Di tribes in those places is no less than that of the Central Plains families at the same time. In addition to the Han government forced by the Han court, the result of the mixing of these three parties is that Hanyang is like a powder keg. Once something important or dangerous happens, it is easy for the three parties to hold each other back.

Under the coercion of external pressure, it is not unheard of for the kingdom to even directly break out internal conflicts among the three.

It can be said that Han Sui as a local may not know it, and Ma Teng as a local tyrant does not know it, but as a representative of the local Han people, Wang Guo knows better than anyone else that his hometown Hanyang County is like a paper tiger. It sounds like a fierce folk style, but in fact it can be broken with a single stab.

In addition, Hanyang County is really too important, so important that it is almost related to the life of himself and even the entire coalition army, which makes the Kingdom unable to gamble at all.

He didn't dare to bet on how long Hanyang County could last under the attack of the Han court, just as he didn't dare to bet on whether Ma Teng and Han Sui would listen to him at a critical moment.

……

"Okay, okay, Kingdom, please calm down. Could it be that the guards said that Tianshui was lost, so it was really lost!"

"It took us more than half a year to attack Chen Cang. Those people want to take down Tianshui within a few days or even a day. How can it be so easy?"

"Don't you all think that marching and fighting are children's play?"

Beside Wang Guo, a middle-aged man who was more than eight feet tall and extremely strong was frowning and persuading him in a low voice.

This man was Ma Teng, a rebel general who was born in Fufeng, but was very close to the Di people and other ethnic minorities.

Ma Teng was very heroic when he was young, and his personality was very bold.Later, when they got older, the juniors in the family were better at fighting than the other, so the whole family was respected by the minority tribes, and they were almost the spokespersons of those people on official occasions.

Beside Ma Teng, there was a rebel leader Han Sui who was dressed as a general, obviously a Han, but wearing a Qianghu costume.

Han Sui was no better than Ma Teng, he was kidnapped by the Qianghu rebels when he was young, but later these rebels saw that he was young and promising, and he was able to speak well, so they actually elected him as the spokesperson for themselves and others.

It is precisely because of this that no matter what the occasion, Han Sui always wears a Han face, but is dressed as a barbarian.

At this moment, by Ma Teng's side, Han Sui saw that Wang Guo was a little anxious, so he kindly persuaded him.

It's just that he didn't expect that this sentence was like sparks that ignited a powder keg, causing the already restless kingdom to explode completely.

"Yes, Wang Guo, please calm down. Now the group of Chencang defenders have left the city to chase us. This is a very good opportunity."

"We have nearly 10 people... [-] versus [-], I have the advantage."

"As long as we straighten out the formation and counterattack the opponent immediately, the Han army that has lost the protection of the city will not be able to compare with us. With all of our efforts, even if we take Chen Cang directly..."

……

"Maybe a fart!"

"What's the use of taking Chencang?"

"What's the use of defeating this group of Han troops!"

"The Chencang City has been besieged by us for more than half a year, and the food in the city has already been eaten! Even if we take down Chencang, what will happen to the army rations? What about the supplies? Can you still take Chang'an from Chencang despite the famine?"

"Are you going to force us Han people to learn to eat human flesh feasts together!"

Maybe it's because caring makes chaos. After learning a series of bad news, the kingdom fell into an unspeakable panic.

This kind of anxiety not only made him unable to listen to what Ma Teng and Han Sui said, it even made him aggressive, with a strong smell of gunpowder inside and outside the words.

Just like now, as if he didn't see the sudden change in the faces of Ma Teng and others, he told some "unspeakable" secrets.

"I just put my words here today! This Hanyang must go back, and I will go back now!"

"If you are not satisfied, then take your own troops and leave! Whether you go back to meet the Han army or find another way out, it's up to you. I, Wang, will not serve you!"

It may be that Wang Guo has never seen such a big anger, and the faces of Ma Teng and Han Sui have become unhappy.

Of course, this may also be because the kingdom has moved out certain statements that have never appeared on official occasions.

Cannibalism... is actually nothing new.This is very common whether it is the extremely poor people who change their children to eat after a disaster, or some relatively "wild" tribes retain the custom of cannibalism.

At least for Ma Teng and Han Sui, cannibalism is nothing new in their minds.

It's just that if you know it, you know it, and if you bring this up on an official occasion, it will be somewhat embarrassing to them.

Who is this cannibal?

Qianghu and Di people's "freshness" ethos can be traced back to the founding of the Han Dynasty 400 years ago.

Who is this being eaten?

Isn't it those young Han girls who are thin and tender in the eyes of cannibals?

Eat, you can eat.

Say, never say.

If this is said, it is not criticizing local bad habits, it is stimulating ethnic conflicts, and it is destroying the harmonious coexistence of ethnic groups within the Han Dynasty.

This is slapping Ma Teng and Han Sui in the face.

Chapter 41 Cheese on Two Breads

It can be said that looking at the ten counties in Liangzhou, who doesn't know that Han Sui and the Qiang people are the closest?Who doesn't know that Ma Teng is the spokesperson of the entire Di tribe?

It is normal to be short of food during the march, but now that the Kingdom has directly raised the topic to a higher level, it is almost like putting Ma Teng and Han Sui on fire.

Maybe Ma Teng is okay, in the Di people tribe, Ma Teng can still claim some status by relying on the bravery of his family.

But Han Sui...

It was really a leather case of Qianghu, or just Qianghu's running dog.

How the Qianghu promoted him to the position of leader at the beginning, now they can drag him down.

What made him feel the most uncomfortable was that he couldn't refute this matter...

Because the few ethnic minorities around the Central Plains, except for the Shanyue barbarians in the south, have actually done such a thing as wearing slaves and then consuming them as military rations.

At the beginning, this situation was only the habit of Jiehu in North China, but later, as the power of the Han became weaker, tribes such as Xianbei and Qianghu also began to follow suit, causing many people in China to suffer. Its poisonous.

On the contrary, it is the Huns who are the most famous among the Northwest Wuhu...

I don't know if it's because they have been beaten too many times by big men. They seem to like to snatch Han girls back as brides, and they seem to have less bad habits like cannibalism than the other few.

……

"Hehe, how could it be?"

"Either, or let's go back, um, go back together..."

"Kingdom, don't worry, don't worry first..."

……

Looking at the man in front of him with an ugly face, Han Sui could say that he was about to bite his teeth, wishing he could rush up and strangle Wang Guo to death right now.

The identity of the second devil is one of the few stains in his life, and now he is picked up by the other party, which naturally makes him feel very uncomfortable.

But just before he was about to turn his back on him, Ma Teng quietly pulled him back, looked at him for a while, and made another gesture, so he calmed down Han Sui, and once again spoke kind words to the kingdom.

"Hmph, it's better!"

A faint cold hum came from Wang Guo's mouth. He walked alone in front, completely ignoring the two people following behind, and just ran with his head buried there.

Naturally, he didn't notice that the faces of the two people behind him had turned as black as ink, let alone foreseeing their own future dangers.

For the kingdom... at this moment, he is the leader of this coalition army.Even if my position was pushed up by the other party, even if I want to get myself down again, I have to wait until this incident is over before I have a chance.

As for whether he will be retaliated by the two afterwards, it is actually not too important to the kingdom.

I committed the crime of rebellion. If I can't pass this level, then it is useless to think that those who have some are useless. Anyway, as long as I am caught by those Han soldiers, it will be the result of being beheaded.

And in Ji County, the county seat of Hanyang County, there are still dozens of members of his family, and this is what he is worried about.

……

Unlike Han Sui and Ma Teng, Wang Guo himself is from Ji County, and his family still lives there.If this Hanyang County is taken by the Han army, his family members will all become military exploits who can walk, and they will definitely be captured by the Han army and sent to Luoyang for trial.

He had been mentally prepared for the fact that he was defeated and killed as early as when he rebelled, so it was not unacceptable.

But if his own clan was cut off by the roots, then he would really have no face to meet his ancestors.

A big family with dozens of people can be harmed by him, which is almost an unthinkable crime for ordinary people in the land of China.

……

In this way, the two armies chased and fled, and several days passed.

During these few days, a large number of rebels were overtaken by the Han army due to insufficient supplies, and then they either surrendered as an organization or were ruthlessly wiped out by Huangfusong.

And as the number of Han troops fleeing in the northwest of the Great Han became less and less, only the one led by Wang Guo and others was still advancing towards Hanyang.

Whether it is the kingdom or Huangfusong, their actions can be said to be related to the peace of the northwestern border of the Han Dynasty for more than ten years in the future.

But now, neither of these two can be called the protagonist of this battle.

On the only way from Hanyang County to the Central Plains, Zhou Yu, who single-handedly contributed to the current situation, was clenching his fists with some excitement, and led a group of soldiers to crouch here.
