In order not to cause too much supply burden to the four counties of Hexi, the 5,000 ochre-clothed troops were divided into 20 tuns, and then guarded by a team of soldiers, and left Guanzhong in turn.After Wan Zhang showed off his flying dragon and cloud detection hand, Han Dangdang not only did not punish him, but left Wan Zhang by his side as a guard.With the banner of Captain Wuji, he set off in the last batch: Han Dare should call this a battle."
This is the case with Ren Duhu in the army."
It was not only the prisoner who was escorted, but also the supplies needed by the Western Regions: fifty carts full of silk and pen and ink of the Five Classics, as well as boxes of medicinal herbs, the soldiers rode in the car, and the prisoner could only walk.On the way from Chang'an to Hexi, there are still people joining the team, or recruiting horses from the six counties, most of them are veterans of the Xiliang Army who have followed Ren Duhu, and they bring their own horses and armor.The war has been over for almost two years, this group of people are big, the temperament is to throw a few gold, the reward is also about the same, the activity is active, this time not only themselves, brought three relatives and six relatives of the neighborhood boys, the war recruitment is the iron crop of the people of the six counties.The sons of the good families in the six counties either went to Beiting or went to Wusun to be the "Queen Mother's personal guard".After inquiring, Wan Zhang told his companions: "I heard that as long as you are willing to go to Wusun, in addition to raising money, you can also get a good pasture on the edge of the Yili water, plus 100 cattle and sheep, and your own slaves for grazing. ”It sounds good, but the standard for recruiting Wusun is relatively high, at least you have to be able to shoot at a gallop, if you are a veteran, you will double the fund, or the light heroes who are sinners can't take their turn.In addition, there is another group of people, who do not have the glamour and arrogance of the good family of the six counties.They looked like bankrupt peasant children, sour and greasy, with lice and fleas, tattered clothes, patches and little cleaning, most of these people were farmers and homeless people who had lost their land in Sanfu Sanhe.This is a group of poor and pathetic people, recruiting troops to go to Beiting to fight and farm the land, they are unwilling, they are too tired.I didn't have that ability to go to Wusun to be the queen mother's personal guard, because I was afraid of the law, and they also avoided the crime of the light man.lived a miserable life like this, and in the end, he either died of illness and starvation, or he was sold into slavery, and someone had to be willing to buy it.It wasn't until he heard the rumors that Khotan Shache Taoyu could get rich overnight that he was moved and enthusiastically joined the team to the Western Regions, hundreds of people, carrying simple hoes and shovels, and their interest was very high, and they even secretly laughed at the stupidity of the good family of the six counties and the evil boys of Sanfu."
Since you can get rich by picking up a piece of jade in the river, why go to Wusun Beiting to work hard?"
This let Wan Zhang know that the road is still very long, and the companions of them are not good things.Dead-looking homeless, debtors, thieves, robbers, thieves, Anxi Duhufu has become a garbage dump specializing in receiving scum waste from all counties in the world.With such a group of people on the road, if it weren't for Han Dangdang personally leading the team, it would really be impossible to suppress it.Fortunately at first, people of different identities still had a longing for the Western Regions, but after a month of walking into Hexi, the day-to-day rush not only rubbed blisters on their feet, but also consumed the initial passion, and frustrating rumors began to spread, and the escape appeared.Han Dangdang, who laughed and scolded everyone along the way, showed no mercy to the escape, and the Liangjiazi of the six counties who took the initiative to apply became his best dog, and several people who tried to escape were caught every day and directly executed!"
Which little maid raised it, and why should Hu Chuan be beheaded if he misses the deadline?"
After Han Dangdang scolded and personally cut down the two escaped jade diggers, he scolded loudly: "That is the time of war, and only the generals and captains will be beheaded, and the soldiers will not be held accountable."
Thou shalt be only served, and thou shalt read the edict to them!
”Jun Sima promised and read: "There is a cloud in the law, and the deadline is three days and five days, and it is true; From the sixth day to the tenth day, one guilder will be paid; Over the ages, a good one. ”Han Dangdang patted his chest with a bloody hand: "As long as it is the person brought by the captain of this school, no matter how much the penalty is, Old Han Yi should pay it for you!"
But fleeing is a capital crime, and amnesty will not save you!
”These words made everyone feel at ease, and after they left the Yumen Pass in September, no one dared to escape, except for the Silk Road, which was built every twenty miles, surrounded by the Gobi wilderness, it is said that there are highly poisonous snakes and insects lurking in the sand sea, and in the strange rocky devil city, there is also the legend of the red-haired female savage.Han Dangdang showed up to tell them about the painful experience of "a friend": "His surname is Lu, because he walked around, he was dragged away by a hairy female savage to borrow seeds, and after using up, he ate them alive, and when we found him, there was only a gnawed human head left!"
”In this way, scaring and spurring, although everyone died in the passers-by, most of them still persevered through the White Dragon Pile and arrived at Loulan Road.Loulan Road has been governed more properly by the Zodiac Chief, because it is the end of the Peacock River, there is no need to be as afraid as a canal plow, and you can do a little water conservancy project.The canal control officials from the east of the river improved the ditches, allowing the surging and flooding of the Peacock River in summer and autumn to divide part of the irrigated farmland, and asked the agricultural officials to introduce the Central Plains method of replacing the fields and making fertilizer.The sons of more than 100 good families from more than 6 counties who went to Wusun to be the Empress Dowager's personal guard, as well as hundreds of homeless people who went to Khotan and Shache Taoyu, parted ways with the large army here, and went far away with the dream of making a fortune easily.After the zodiac chief changed a batch of shoes woven from Luo Bu linen to everyone, the light warriors set out on the road again, along the Peacock River to the canal plow, through the Iron Gate Pass, and through the Yanqi Basin to the Cheshi country.Today's Che Shi Wang is set up by the Han Army, particularly pro-Han, and the Duhu Mansion also has a tuntian point here, which is planted when the Huns 4,000 rode the field when the land was opened.It is really the predecessors who planted the trees, and the descendants who enjoyed the shade.By this time it was winter, and although the sun was still shining during the day, the nights were extremely cold.The mountain pass leading to the North Courtyard had been closed by heavy snow, and they had been on the road for several months, and the tired people were told that they would spend the winter in the Cheshi and be distributed to various parts of the North Garden after the beginning of spring.The crowd really can't walk anymore, and if they are forced to trek again, I'm afraid they will really rebel.And Anxi Dadu Protector Ren Hong also arrived here, discussed with the subordinate officials, and decided to curse the alliance with these light chivalrous and evil young men from Sanfu, who could not be restrained by military discipline alone, and had to learn the emperor's tricks and use some superstitious methods.Ren Hong specially picked a sunny day, and when the towering Tianshan Mountains were clearly visible in the distance, he rode a horse in front of everyone, and the coaches on Jiaohe City were also watching the excitement from afar.Ren Du still guards the radish, as for the sweat and blood heavenly horse "Elephant Dragon" given by the Son of Heaven, although it is tall and horseed, riding conspicuously and has a face, but the temperament is too strong, maybe it is angry for thousands of miles back and forth?
It hurt the dragon to lose a lot of weight.Ren Hong couldn't control it, and several times he wanted to ride it, he was thrown off and fell into the mud, and in desperation, he only handed it over to his wife who was far away in Wusun to tame, which was also strange, and the elephant dragon fell into the hands of Yaoguang but was cleaned up obediently.Yaoguang wrote such a letter to show off, which made Ren Hong a little embarrassed, forget it, the gentle little radish is suitable for him.The horse came to everyone, behind him was the snowy white mountain that shone with a rainbow of light because of the morning glow, which made people indulge in it just by looking at it.The advantages and disadvantages of coming to the Western Regions, after traveling thousands of miles from Chang'an to Cheshi, and hundreds of people died, the rest of the people had already understood, and Ren Hong was not verbose, and said loudly: "I am Xi'an Hou Renhong, and I will protect the fifty countries of the Northern Court of the Western Regions with General Anxi!"
”General Anzai's legendary experience in the past few years, who doesn't know who doesn't?
Although the weight is not as heavy as that of the emperor, it is also well-known, and everyone is in awe.They may not be afraid of the powerful, but they will admire heroes like the Marquis of Xi'an and the Marquis of Yiyang."
When you come, you will either sit on the glory of your father for the young people of Wuling, or you will be destitute in Chang'an.""
When you come, you are not tolerated by the law, and you are guilty of robbery, wounding, stealing, fighting, unfilial piety, and stealing your sister-in-law.This includes almost everyone, some people still hold their heads high and are unmoved, and some people silently bow their heads and feel ashamed.Ren Hong glanced at everyone: "But these are not important, everything is in the past."
In the North Court of the Western Regions, no matter how high or low the punishment was in the past, everyone can start over!
”He asked people to distribute the winter clothes prepared for the light warriors one by one, and the ochre clothes that everyone wore all the way were torn and tattered.This is a thick cotton fabric, the water and soil of the Western Regions are suitable for growing cotton native to India and Central Asia, from the fourth year of Yuan Feng Ren Hong from the hands of the Sogdians to obtain cotton in Shanshan planting, it has taken root.In the past year, it has been greatly promoted, whether it is Loulan or the canal plough division Luntai, there are bumper harvests, in addition to satisfying the soldiers, the prisoners can also wear them.The color is dyed soapy black."
Once you change out of your ochre clothes and put on your black clothes, you will have to guard the North Court for five years!
There is no way back before the deadline, and there is only one way to die!
”It's all here, is there a way out?
Wan Zhang and the others took off their leaky ochre clothes, trembling, as if they had stripped off their past sins, and after putting on black clothes of the same color as the guards of the capital, they felt warm all over their bodies, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.Before it was over, Ren Hong had a black dog killed, sprinkled its blood on the ground, buried the dominoes with the oath written on it in the ground, turned around and pointed to the Tianshan Mountain and said: "Gentlemen, in front of this majestic Tianshan, curse with me."
Putting aside his old sins, Yu Zi was reborn. ”Killing animals and blood, swearing to the curse of the gods, this is what the light heroes often do on weekdays, and for them from the bottom, this is a stronger constraint than the military law order, whoever does not keep the oath, the gods will punish the disaster!
As the sun rose high, the hazy dawn turned into dazzling day, following the familiar captain on the road, the light and evil teenagers all knelt down, looked at the Tianshan Mountain, followed the Dadu Guard, and recited the oath in unison."
Towering Tianshan!""
Listen to our curse and be our witness.""
Loyal to the Son of Heaven, loyal to the Great Han!""
It's real, it's real!""
The road is blue, and the soil of Anxi is laid!""
Make the river like a belt, and the heavenly mountains like a strong one.There is an alliance between Chongqing and Thailand.Cut off children and grandchildren, no old and young!
”The Tianshan Mountains were silent, the wind blew up the snow on the top of the mountain, covering it with a sacred veil, looking at this scene, Wan Zhang didn't know why, he suddenly cried, and the cries sounded one after another, this journey was indeed too bitter, so bitter that they really seemed to be reborn and shed a layer of skin."
Gentlemen."
Ren Hong turned around and asked everyone to get up."
Thou shalt kneel down and be a prisoner in ochre.""
When you get up, it's the robe of the Anxi Iron Army!"
