The tradition of adding 110 only to the Guizi royal family to grow long hair for the Baiyin Meng people under the sycamore began about 200 years ago, and it was originally a means to distinguish the royal family from ordinary people after the royal power was first established.But later, the royal family of Qiuzi forgot even this original intention, but thought from the bottom of their hearts: That long hair contains the power of royal power!
The longer the hair, the greater the responsibility!
But Gu Yi knew the essence of these long hairs best: in the long history of Qiuzi, he had seen princes who screamed madly because their hair was on fire and threw themselves into the pond.There was also a king who ordered all the Guzi people to shave their heads because of their hair loss, and they had not yet learned to wear wigs."
The greatest power of this hair is nothing more than strangulation of people."
Looking at the old King Guizi in front of him who was strangled by the Huns with his long hair and suffocated to death, Gu Yi smiled.The old king is dead, and tomorrow, it will be announced that the Han envoy Ren Hong is dissatisfied with the prostitution, relying on being a messenger of a great country, making a big fuss about Qiuci, killing countless people, and the king of Qiuci has pity on the people, and feels sad about it, causing a heart disease and dying.As for Jiangbin, the prince who can't do anything except dance music will only be stupidly at the mercy of Guyi, not to mention, there are Huns behind Guyi to support!
When Gu Yi went to report the good news to the servant Duwei, he was changing the cloth to bandage the wound, and Zhao Han'er's arrow was very fierce, and Daigo Ada would not be able to open the bow in the short term."
Done?"
Daigo Ada couldn't hide the dissatisfaction on his face.Gu Yi said: "Great misfortune, King Qiuzi has gone to see his ancestors, after dawn, Prince Jiangbin can sit on the golden lion bed, and at the same time declare that he will avenge the first king, send troops to assist the king of Richai, and it is necessary to drive the Han people out of the northern province!"
”Daigo Ada breathed a sigh of relief, King Qiuci has always liked to swing between Han and Hungary, and before the king sent him to Qiuci, he said that if Qiuci dares to repeat again, he will be punished immediately!
In this way, the Qiuzi Kingdom was still under control, and Guyi was afraid of being liquidated by the Han people, and there was no way to retreat, so he could only help the Xiongnu win the battle.It's a pity that Ren Hong and Princess Wusun escaped.Daigo Ada was a little regretful: "If I hadn't sent most of the horsemen to assist you in ambushing the Han army, how could I have made them easily escape!"
”I only hated Daigo Ada for looking too highly at Qiuzi, and felt that there were thousands of people in the city, and it should be easy to deal with the two envoys, but unexpectedly, the Han envoy saw through the conspiracy of the Qiuzi people and was caught off guard, but it was them.But the war in the east went surprisingly well.Gu Yi had been calculating him since the last time he met with Lai Dan to hand over the Luntai, and at this moment he told Daigo Ada the latest news: "Stupid Lai Dan, I listened to him a few days ago and handed over Wulei City, and he sent a hundred troops to receive it.Now he is halfway down the road, ambushed by my 2,000 soldiers and 300 horsemen sent by my servant Lieutenant!
”"In this way, Luntai will only be left with Lai Dan and two hundred soldiers!
I will send 3,000 people from other cities in Qiuzi, with 5,000 and 200, and sooner or later I will be able to take it, but I am worried about the Han army on the other side of the canal and plow." ”Daigo Ada stood up, looked at the dawn in the east, and said with a smile: "For this battle, the kings of the Western Regions have been preparing for several months.The canal plough is now difficult to protect itself, and it will not send a single soldier to save the wheel at all!
”"And the Han envoy and Princess Wusun who escaped will soon find that going east is a dead end!"
On the side of the mission, although Ren Hong and the others got rid of the pursuers, they still did not dare to be careless, and did not take the road from Qiuzi to Luntai, but slowly bypassed from the southern edge of the oasis, near the desert.When the situation was not urgent, Yaoguang no longer rode with Ren Hong, and Ren Hong felt that the radish was much happier than yesterday.Thanks to the medicine carried by the Han mission, several injured Wusun people were relieved, and even Aya, who had a shaved head, was able to insist on getting on the horse by herself, even if she endured the pain the whole time, she still followed closely behind the Yaoguang horse.From Qiuzi to Luntai, it is only more than 200 miles, and it can be reached in two days by fast horse, but it takes three days for the mission to go around."
When you get to Luntai, you can eat roasted naan."
Han Dangdang, who had eaten a lot, was hungry again, they broke through in a hurry, only brought armor soldiers, and most of the baggage was lost in Qiuzi City.Not everywhere in the Western Regions is as terrifying as Bailongdui, under the moisture of the snow and water of the Tianshan Mountains, the environment of Qiuzi and Luntai is similar to Dunhuang, or even better, and water can be obtained by streams along the way.But in terms of food, in this vast and sparsely populated area, except for hunting, the Wusun people can only survive by killing a wounded horse.The horses were also miserable, half an hour ago they were close companions, and half an hour later they became food buried under the ashes.Because he was afraid that he would be discovered by the enemy if he ignited the fire for too long, he could only use Ren Hong's method of roasting the sheep's neck with mud, and simmering it in the pit was actually only half-cooked.After all, there was no way to find fault with the taste of half-raw horse meat, and the Han soldiers frowned and tried to tear the lean horse meat.And the Wusun people are not so polite, chewing large pieces, sharing the experience of eating horse meat while eating.Yaoguang became the interpreter in the team: "They say that only war horses will have meat that is too lean to chew, but if it is not a war horse, but a fat mare, or a younger pony, like it, not more than five or six years old, the meat will be very tender." ”Although it was only a horse, I couldn't understand what the woman was saying, but when she saw her munching on the flesh of her own kind and pointing at herself, the turnip shivered and neighed and splashed on the spot.Ren Hong hurriedly grabbed the radish, comforted it, and whispered in its ear: "Radish, radish, I know why you hate her." ”Ren Hong knew that eating horse meat was an old tradition in Wusun, and the domestication of horses was much later than that of other animals, and the ancestors of the Wusun people were the Sai people who lived in the steppes of Central Asia, and it was these original nomads who domesticated horses and fattened them to eat meat.But one day, it may have been a man who looked at the horse's graceful back, became interested, and couldn't help but ride it, and thus unlocked the riding skills.This skill, along with horse domestication, slowly spread throughout the world with the great migration of the Cypriots.Like their Cypriot ancestors, the Usun was kind to his mounts, praising them for their vigor in songs, but this did not prevent them from killing fat mares to eat meat, and they had a soft spot for horse sausages.But in the Central Plains, there is such a legend: "Horse liver is poisonous and cannot be eaten!"
”Saying this, the enthusiastic Han Dangdang tried his best to prevent Wusun Rider Wubu from putting the horse liver in his mouth.Eating horse meat and not eating horse liver, this is the tradition of the Han people, it is said that the big fool Li Shaoweng, who was named "Cheng General" and asked for immortals for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the official cause of death was that he ate horse liver and died, in fact, he forged the book of heaven and was found to be killed.Although there may also be heavy metals, horse liver is no better than puffer fish, and you can know that you can't eat dead people with a little try.The real fact is that in the Han region, it is a waste to use such a precious strategic resource as horses for food.Unless the march was forced to do so, or the horses in the inn died in an accident, horse meat was rarely eaten.Therefore, the rumors of horse liver are the same as the more exaggerated "horse meat is poisonous", but it is just a false rumor, in order to prevent the Central Plains people from thinking crookedly about horses because of their appetite.But Ubu obviously misunderstood Han Dangdang's meaning, thinking that he wanted to share this kind of delicious food in the eyes of the Wusun people.Then he generously cut open the bloodshot horse liver and enthusiastically sent it to Lao Han's mouth.And Han Dare is desperate, you push me to hold the two big men, it's not lively.This is probably the most hardcore feeding scene Ren Hong has ever seen in his two lives combined.This was just a small episode on the road, but after the same tribulation, the Han soldiers and the Wusun people became closer.That Aya, from time to time, looked at Zhao Han'er who saved her and Yaoguang, although this man was silent, he was so reliable, except for horse meat, everyone's food was mostly yellow sheep and rabbits led by Zhao Han'er and Yaoguang.As Luntai got closer and closer, most people became very relaxed, thinking that they would be able to follow the Han army-controlled city Fengsui all the way to Yumen Pass.But Ren Hong's face became more and more severe, ordering everyone to wear armor, and letting Zhao Han'er and Wusun people explore the way ten miles ahead.Sure enough, his worries were not superfluous, and there were still thirty Han miles away from Luntai City, Zhao Han'er and Wusun people hurriedly reported: "Luntai has been surrounded by enemy soldiers!"
”Cautiously creeping forward, Ren Hong and Yaoguang approached the hidden mound and looked at the Luntai a few miles away, where it had indeed become a besieged lonely city, as Zhao Han'er said.The enemy army was fighting the Longma banner, and there was no doubt that they were Qiuzi people, who numbered about 2,000 people, and camped outside the city to bake cakes, and lit a lot of smoke.Around the camp, there were more than 100 Hun horsemen cruising, which made the mission dare not get too close.Ren Hong and Yaoguang glanced at each other, and they both saw worry in each other's eyes."
Is my brother already in Luntai, or was he in Luntai before he arrived" Yaoguang clenched her fists, what she cared about most was the whereabouts of her younger brother Liu Wannian, but what Ren Hong was worried about was Sun Million and other robes in Luntai City.When retreating to the poplar forest where the mission was camped and convening everyone to discuss countermeasures, Han Dangdang put forward a bold plan: "Seeing that the number of enemy troops is not large, whether we should gather men and horses, conduct a night attack, set fire to the camp tent, and cooperate with the defenders in the city to repel the Qiuzi people." ”After the battle of Yancheng, he was very contemptuous of the fighting power of the Qiuzi people, and felt that as long as he gave himself a hundred people, he could chase a thousand people to fight.But this plan was soon not carried out, because Wusun's scouts came back to report that many more Qiuzi soldiers had come from the west and participated in the siege, and that there were as many as four or five thousand enemies outside Luntai City!
Hearing this number, Lao Han stopped talking.There were only more than 50 people in the mission, and the people were tired and tired, and they were not enough to protect themselves, and they could not help Luntai."
Just go around the wheel platform and go to the ditch plow?"
Again, it was suggested."
I won't leave until I find out where my brother is."
Yaoguang's attitude was resolute, and she proposed to find a way to capture some prisoners and come back to torture them, at least to know the whereabouts of Prince Wusun.Just when she was gearing up to go out in person, Zhao Han'er, who was sent by Ren Hong to inspect the surrounding area, came back with a group of people, but it was Lu Jiuyu and the others who set off before them."
Sister!"
Liu Wannian had been making trouble for several days, and when he finally saw his sister again, he pounced, hugged Yaoguang's calf without any reason, and howled and cried, Ren Hong couldn't help but look at him a few times.This is a way of doing this, no wonder the Wusun people, who have always been afraid of bullying the weak, are unwilling to listen to him.And Yaoguang also hid his previous worries, disliked Liu Wannian in his mouth, slapped the dust on his body with his scabbard, and frowned: "You look like an abandoned puppy, how can you still look like a prince Wusun, if your mother sees it, she will blame me for not taking good care of you.""
When I asked, I found out that they also arrived near Luntai and found that the city was under siege, so they could only hide on the edge of the desert and watch."
Ren Jun, come and see who this is!
Lu Jiuyu and their horses also came, shouting, and carried down a Han soldier from their horses.After seeing the person's appearance, Han Dangdang was shocked: "Sima Shu?
Shouldn't he be ploughing with Xi Jun in the canal, why is he here!?
”It's just that Sima Shu has been injured, he was in danger, riding a horse to avoid the enemy's pursuit, plunged into the desert, and happened to be rescued by Lu Jiuyu and others, he was still in a coma at the moment, unable to answer Han Dangdang's questions at all.Could it be that something happened to the canal plow?
Everyone looked at each other, and people were panicked, but Ren Hong looked at the east and took a deep breath.The east is not dawned, and the east is not clear.His worries the night before have become a fact, the situation in the Western Regions is plunging into the worst abyss!
Ren Hong couldn't help but secretly said in his heart: "Old man, old man, it's really easy for you to help me come to this errand!"
