As he said these words, Sheyang couldn't help but look into the distance, the Lingju Sai, which was surrounded by the Jianhe River.

This fortress did not exist at the time of the Qiang Rebellion more than 20 years ago.

At that time, the Han people had just entered Hexi, and they couldn't figure out the geography at all, nor did they know the depth.

Moreover, they only have the Huns in their eyes.

Therefore, on the west side of the river, south of the Qilian Mountains, they did not fortify at all.

At that time, the core of the Han Dynasty's defense was mainly based on the current Zhangye County, and no complete defense system was established.

But after the Qiang Rebellion, the Han Dynasty began to build a large-scale fortress.

The first side wall to be built is the side wall in front of you that starts from Lingju, passes through Rouge Mountain and Gaolan Mountain, reaches Jiuquan, extends from northwest to southeast, and protects the entire southern foot of Qilian Mountain.

Moreover, Sheyang knows how the Han people built this side wall!

They were the pioneers who made the Qiang prisoners of war, along the direction of the mountains and rivers, digging a trench on the east and west sides, and then in the center of the trench, rammed earth version to build a wall, with a layer of sand, a layer of sand willow, a layer of stone, and constantly build up.

This method of building walls is very fast.

Usually, a few hundred people can build a small beacon and a side wall extending to another beacon in a month.

The disadvantage is that the beacon and wall built in this way are very afraid of the erosion of wind and sand, and must be maintained and repaired every three or five years.

Otherwise, the wall structure can easily collapse.

You have to ask how the sheep know this?

Of course, there were many Qiang people in the past, for various reasons, who were bought by merchants in the Han Dynasty to repair walls.

Some of them were released back to Xihai after helping the Han people repair the walls, and brought back many enviable treasures, and even learned a lot of skills and became celebrities in the cottage.

Over time, some Qiang cottages will even take the initiative to contact the Han people and send people to help repair the wall in exchange for some returns.

For example, grain, cloth, salt, bronze, etc.

So, basically, the Qiang people are very familiar with this side wall.

Because he is familiar, he knows that it is powerful.

Especially this makes Guyse!

I'm afraid that just by gnawing the periphery, I don't know how many people will die!

As for the main body of its fortress?

As long as the Han people have sufficient troops, even if the Qiang people are all dead, I am afraid they will not be able to shake it.

This fact was already well known to all the Hao chiefs before they sent out the troops.

Ji Si was anxious, frowned, and said, "Wait?" Wait a few more days, and the cavalry of Beidi County and Longyou County of the Han Dynasty will probably arrive! ”

She Yang listened, smiled, and said, "They come to theirs, we will fight ours!" ”

"If you can't wait, you can take the Yue Clan's cavalry to fight by yourself!"

When Ji Si heard this, he only felt that his hands and feet were cold, he stretched out his hand, pointed at the sheep, and said angrily: "You don't talk about credit!" ”

"Hahahahaha......" Sheyang looked up to the sky and laughed: "We Qiang people have no credit at all!" ”

"As long as we can survive, we can even tear our oaths in front of the ancestral spirits and gods!"

The silk is so angry that they will be speechless.

Now, he finally understands that he has been tricked, and all the nobles who hope that the Qiang people will take the lead, send them to death, and then take millet from the fire, have been tricked!

These damn Qiang chieftains, from the very beginning, were not really willing to form an alliance with the Yue Clan.

Just as the Yue Clan was using them, they were also using the careerists of the Yue Clan's various departments to pry open the originally strong Hehuang defense line.

Now, they had crossed the Huangshui River and arrived in this rich Hehuang region, and with the support or at least acquiescence of the Yue clan's tribes, they came to the border wall of the Han Dynasty.

So, the situation was completely reversed.

The host and the guest are reversed.

Now, the people who are on fire are no longer the Qiang people who lack food and clothing on the plateau of the West Sea and cannot survive.

Rather, they were entrusted with important tasks by the Han Dynasty and regarded as the various departments of the Yue clan as guardians!

The reason is very simple - the Qiang people have now walked down from the cold and barren Xihai Plateau, and have successfully entered the rich and comfortable Hehuang region.

Here, water and grass are abundant, the land is fertile, and resources are abundant.

As long as the Yueshi people are driven away, they can occupy the magpie's nest.

In the past, the Qiang people naturally did not have this ability, nor did they have this possibility.

Because, everyone knows that the tribes of the Hehuangyue clan are subject countries that have their names in the Han Dynasty's father.

Moreover, this title was won by their ancestors, who threw their heads and spilled their blood, followed the hussar generals of the Han Dynasty, and shot them down with knives and guns.

The fact that the Emperor of Han Tianzi returned to the country of Houji Gugu last year is proof of this.

Therefore, in the past, whoever hit the river Huang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty would protect the calf!

But now it's different.

In the eyes of the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that the Yue tribes of Hehuang, except for a few people, are no different from the Qiang people.

Perhaps, the Qiang people were even cuter in the eyes of some Han Dynasty aristocrats.

At least, the Qiang people didn't eat inside and out.

Therefore, suppose the Qiang people now turn their guns and go to fight the Yue tribes and attack Hehuang.

Then, the army of the Han Dynasty behind the side wall will probably be seen as a dog eating a dog.

Maybe some people will cheer and applaud!

If the Qiang people can win the Yueshi, and then behave more well-behaved, take the initiative to show favor and surrender.

Perhaps, the Han Chinese will recognize them as the lords of the river.

Even to give canonization, to give fame.

It's not impossible!

And at that time, the Qiang people and the Yueshi people will be reversed.

At that time, the Qiang people may even step on the corpse of Yueshi, the two or five boys, and become a good baby in the eyes of the Han people, and the watchdog of Hehuang.

And the tribes of the Yue clan will be like the Qiang people in the past, after being slaughtered, they will be expelled to the cold and barren West Sea, and their children and grandchildren will always be able to curl up on the plateau, desperately trying to survive like rats, and slaughtering like lambs!

Just thinking of this, Jisi's body began to tremble.

It's!

It's even more scared!

"You...... You ......" Jisi clenched her fists and clenched her teeth.

"What's wrong with us?" She Yang lifted the bronze mask on his face, exposed his ugly face full of rotten scars, looked at Ji Si and sneered: "You people who are protected and protected by the Han Dynasty will never be able to imagine how we survived in the West Sea!" ”

"You can be monogamous, the family is happy, in the middle of the river, herding, playing, taking care of children, your nobles can even have three wives and four concubines......"

"But we ......"

"The children and grandchildren of the flame can only curl up in the frozen soil and wilderness of the West Sea year after year, competing with wolves for food, seeking skin with tigers, for a piece of carrion, or even a wild vegetable, the men of our species can die!"

"Even so, we don't have anything to spare!"

"In order to give my child an extra bite of milk, I used to drink only water for three days and leave the food for my wife!"

"I forgot to tell you, my wife, while she is my wife, she is also my uncle's dead wife, my brother and brother's wife......"

"The child she gave birth to, to be honest, I don't know if it's my child or not......"

"It's like my father, who doesn't know if I'm his son or if my uncle was born to my mother!"

"Children of the flames, that's it, like weeds, rooting in the frozen ground, like mad dogs, biting their teeth into their bones!"

"No matter what, no matter what, we are alive, trying to live as hard as we can! Do everything you can to raise your offspring and do everything possible to keep them alive! ”

"But you ......" Now, Sheyang no longer has any scruples, he mocked unscrupulously: "Can be a dog, can have such a good place to live, why not be satisfied?" ”

"Do you know how envious and jealous we are in the West Sea......" He stared at Ji Si with a hideous face: "You guys! ”

It's a fact!

Driven to the West Sea Plateau, he was trapped in the tundra and wilderness.

Every year spent by the Qiang people was like suffering!

In order to survive, to survive, there is nothing that they have not done!

"Go back and tell your swords!"

"Or, lead the troops to take the lead and capture the border wall of the Han Dynasty!"

"If you want, just wait obediently, pack your things obediently, and cross the river to escape!"

Now, the Qiang have a choice.

But the Yueshi people don't have a choice!

They sent people to contact the Qiang people, and they also took the initiative to open the defensive line, and even provided weapons and food, they were already recognized as traitors by the Han people.

Where are traitors treated in Han Chinese?

The King of Joseon and the King of Nam Viet are the best proof!

Those kingdoms and tribes that were wiped out and slaughtered by the Han Dynasty army are the best proof!

Jisi didn't know how she got out of the dome of the sheep.

He only remembered the fear and hesitation in his heart, and all he could think of was the words of the sheep: "If you can be a dog, why not be satisfied with such a good place?" ”

Oh, yes!

Why not be satisfied?

The people of the Han Dynasty can't talk about digging out their hearts and lungs for the Yue Clan, but it's really enough!

All the descendants of Yue's righteous servants or widows who had made meritorious contributions to the Han Dynasty were taken to Chang'an of the Han Dynasty, where they were grazed by the Han Dynasty and supported by the Han Emperor in the official offices of the Imperial Servants and Shaofu.

Those who don't want to go are also taken care of.

Vaults, clothing, livestock, ceramics, and bronze vessels were issued.

After some heroes, during the New Year's holidays, they will even receive gifts and condolences from envoys.

Moreover, the Han Dynasty also handed over the entire Hehuang basin to the Yueshi tribes.

In addition to symbolically asking them to pay a little tribute every year, and when something happened, a group of cavalry was requisitioned to fight, and the officials of the Han Dynasty never harshly criticized and exploited the Yueshi people.

Lingjusai's Qiang Captain Yamen even often organized Han Dynasty business trips to buy the skins of the Yue's various departments, and also prepared the Yue's people to participate in the Rong City and trade fairly.

Jisi doesn't know why it has become the way it is.

But he knew there was no going back.

Once the Qiang people rebelled against the water, they took the initiative to give in to the Han Dynasty people.

According to the nature of the Han people, nine times out of ten, it is estimated that they will acquiesce to the actions of the Qiang people.

At that time, without the tiger skin of the Han Dynasty, the Yue clan will be torn apart by two or three hundred thousand Qiang people!

…………………………

Surrounded by his close confidants, Jisi returned to the tribe on the bank of the Huangshui.

Here, there are already more than a dozen Yue Clan nobles waiting for him.

When they saw him return, these people immediately surrounded him and asked, "Have the Qiang people started attacking?" ”

But Jisi didn't hear it, sat down with a slump of butts, and lowered her head without saying a word.

"What's wrong?" Someone asked.

"We were taken advantage of by the Qiang people...... Jisi sighed, "those damn bastards actually learned to cross the river and tear down the bridge!" ”

As he spoke, he told the conversation between himself and the sheep in its original form.

When the others listened, everyone stared incredulously.

"How is this possible!"

"How could those lowly Qiang people think of such a scheme?"

"yes, yes...... How could they have imagined this? ”

Everyone's face was incredibly frightened.

For the Yue Clan, this news is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue and a disaster in the last days!

Before this, their calculations and thoughts were still extremely proud.

In their opinion, the Qiang people's iron-clad and really stupid people can be fooled by them.

Which Cheng thought, people are not stupid at all, and they pushed the Yueshi people into the pit with their backhands.

"Otherwise, let's go and ask the general of the second division and the Son of Heaven to plead guilty......" someone said weakly: "As long as we admit our mistakes in time, we should be able to save it, right?" ”

"Dreaming!" Ji Si shook his head and said: "The Han people pay attention to 'original convictions', and they don't look at the heart when they talk about crimes, but now in the eyes of the Han Dynasty's monarchs and ministers, we have been rebellious!" ”

"If we can lay down the border wall, occupy Qilian Mountain, and threaten the county governance of Zhangye, Wuwei, and Jiuquan in the Han Dynasty, maybe we still have a chance to ......"

"Otherwise......"

In fact, there is another way - that is, to release those real pro-Han and loyal nobles and let them preside over the situation, and then arrest themselves and other real rebels and send them to the Han Dynasty to ask for guilt.

Then kill all those who echo and follow them.

Kill even a baby in swaddling clothes.

In this way, perhaps the Han Dynasty people can feel the sincerity and forgive the remaining Yueshi people.

But this is not possible.

Because the Qiang people were in front of them, it was impossible to let the Yueshi people do this.

What's more, Jisi and others don't have such awareness!

"We only have one way to go now!" Ji Si raised his head and said, "Pick up the soldiers and horses, gather all the cavalry, and go and fight with the Han Dynasty!" ”

"If we win, we still have a way to live, and we can even realize our dream and go to Qilian Mountain to rebuild the Yue Clan's royal court!"

Everyone looked at Jisi, gritting their teeth and clenching their fists.

They knew that there was really only one way to go.

But......

Lingju, can they really fight down?

It was a fortress that the Han Dynasty had been operating in the Jianhe River for almost thirty years.

The periphery is densely covered with beacons and fortresses, and the core is the city with high walls, as well as the natural danger of the Jianhe River, backed by the four counties of Hexi, and can be supported at any time.

And the various divisions of the Yue Clan, the cavalry that can really be mobilized and mobilized now, is up to eight thousand.

Eight thousand people went to fill a fortress like that, did they fill it?

Nobody knows.

But they knew that there was only one way for them to go.
