"In this world, there is no city that cannot be attacked, and there is no natural danger that cannot be overcome!" Chen Ying looked at the surging Yellow River in the distance with deep eyes, and said loudly: "In order to prevent the Xiongnu from invading south, Qin Shi Huang searched for the people's power in the world and built the Great Wall, but did this majestic Great Wall stop the Huns?" Did you stop the Xianbei people? Did you stop the Rouran people? Did you stop the Turks? โ€

The generals hung their heads and remained silent.

Chen Ying said loudly: "No. โ€

Liu Tong really wanted to tell Chen Ying that if he didn't repair the city, the situation would only get worse.

However, Chen Ying said stubbornly: "When the Xianbei people were strong, the Three Kingdoms were in turmoil, the Central Plains was weak, and the Xianbei people took the opportunity to go south. What threshing grass? That is to say, we Han people are like rice, which can be harvested whenever it is in season. Although the Xianbei have now disappeared, this tradition has been inherited by the Turks. โ€

Chen Ying clenched his right hand into a fist and slammed it into his chest. Chen Ying pointed hard at the southeast with his big hand: "In Hedong, our compatriots are bleeding and dying!" When the Turks were in the former Sui Emperor Wen, they were subdued by the former Sui in three battles and called the ministers Nagong. However, for more than ten years, they took advantage of the chaos in the former Sui Dynasty, picked up knives and guns, and robbed while the fire was burning. And now, they have done all kinds of evil in Hedong, and wherever they passed, chickens and dogs were not left, from the white-haired old man to the baby less than 100 days old, without exception, they were brutally murdered. โ€

The officers and men of the Dingyuan Army were all enthusiastic, and their hearts were beating violently in the cavity. The strong sense of humiliation made everyone's eyes look out, and they were all blood-red.

"Our Dingyuan Army has come all the way, and we have all opened the way with blood, and this time is no exception! The harm done to us by others is only ten times repaid. So that these guys can remember! The rise of a nation is based on the tragedy of many nations, and I just want you to remember this! We can't be that tragic nation! โ€

Speaking of which, the officers and soldiers of the Dingyuan Army were full of murderous anger, and some of them had become hideous.

Chen Yingdao: "Blood debt can only be paid by blood, soldiers, enter Hedong!" โ€

"Blood debt and blood repayment, kill into Hedong!"

With Chen Ying's order, the soldiers of the Dingyuan Army and the Lingwu Army all roared and slaughtered into the east of the river.

Chen Ying looked up at the moonlight and found that the moon, which was originally bright and pure, was slowly turning red.

All the soldiers also saw this scene, and they all heard a legend. As long as there is a blood moon, it will taste like a river of blood.

Chen Ying also understood that this land was about to turn bloody.

Heavy footsteps and intermittent breathing. An embarrassed palace dress sat in a carriage with two sons who were about four or five years old in her arms. Dozens of Tang soldiers in broken armor guarded the carriage and rushed wildly in the direction of the Sanggan River. The road was rough, surrounded by hills, and everyone's clothes were hung in the grass and bushes, but no one dared to stop.

They were all the families of the Duke of Yiyuan, the Doctor of Zijin Guanglu, and the Wushi Tong of General Yue (the general in charge of the city defense of Chang'an, equivalent to the Admiral of the Nine Gates of Beijing during the Manchu Dynasty). Samurai Tong was originally a merchant. Once Li Yuan was resting there, he formed a personal friendship with Li Yuan.

On the eve of Li Yuan's army, he scattered his family to recruit troops for Li Yuan, and a total of more than 5,000 people (Li Yuan's total strength at the beginning of the army was more than 18,000, and more than a quarter of it was funded by the samurai). After Li Yuan entered Chang'an and ascended the throne, he was rewarded for his meritorious deeds, and he was ranked the twelfth of the fourteen titles of the Kaitang Dynasty, and was officially awarded the official positions of Guanglu Doctor (Zheng Sanpin) and General Yue (General of the Guards). However, the samurai Tong suddenly rose to a high position as a merchant, but he had no military merits and his position was not stable.

For this reason, he did not take his family to Chang'an like others such as Yin Kaishan, Liu Hongji, Liu Wenjing and others. Wu Shitong's wife, Xiang Li, and his two sons, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang, lived in Taiyuan. Wu Shi Tong did not let his family follow him to Chang'an, in fact, there was another factor, that is, in Chang'an, he was full of nobles, and he, the prince of Yiyuan County, was repeatedly excluded because of his background. Don't let the Xiangli clan go to Chang'an, and there are also factors of samurai inferiority.

But the principle is different too. Taiyuan nobles are much less than Chang'an, the more powerful the nobles, most of them went to Chang'an, and those who stayed in Taiyuan were either side branches or remote children, not only did no one look down on the Xiangli clan who was born in Shangjia, but they were also highly respected. However, the good times did not last long, when Li Yuanji abandoned Taiyuan and ran back to Chang'an, Taiyuan City was broken, and Xiangli took more than 100 Ding families to escape from Taiyuan City.

After escaping from Taiyuan City, the Xiangli clan did not run south along the official road like other displaced people, but took the opportunity to hide in Yunzhong Mountain. In the mountains of the clouds, Xiang Li took his son to hide in Tibet and escaped the most chaotic three months. But now there is really no way to hide in the mountains of the clouds.

As more and more people took refuge in Yunzhongshan, Yunzhong Mountain attracted the attention of the Turks. The Turks began to send people to search for Yunzhongshan, and Xiangli saw that Yunzhong Mountain could not hide, and the dry food he carried with him had already been eaten, so he had no choice but to prepare to take the opportunity to go south.

However, with the loss of Hedong Huzhou, only Li Zhongwen's department in Haozhou and Li Xiuning's department in Weizeguan were still struggling to defend in the entire Hedong, and all other places belonged to Liu Wuzhou.

Xiangli didn't know how many waves of Turks she had escaped, but she knew very well that with their team of less than a hundred. Once discovered by the Turks, it means death. Although Xiangli was born in a merchant, she was also a fierce character, and if she really couldn't escape, she would rather commit suicide than fall into the hands of the Turks and be humiliated.

"Run, run, run faster!"

Although the car was about to fall apart, she still gritted her teeth and persevered.

"Get ......" The sound of horses' hooves got closer and closer, and looking up at the blood moon in the sky, Xiangli's heart was full of despair. She could already hear the sound of the waves, and she knew where she was in front of her.

The front has reached the Sangan River.

The name Sanggan River may be a little unfamiliar to everyone, and you may have a little impression when it comes to another name. That is the Yongding River. That's right, the Sanggan River is the upper reaches of the Yongding River, at first Yongding was called the Wuding River, so it often changed the river course, so it was originally commonly known as the Wuding River. At the end of the 17th century, after extensive flood control measures, the downstream was called the Yongding River. However, the upper reaches have always been called the Sanggan River.

At this time, it was the period when the Sanggan River was rising, and the surging river surface was about four or five hundred steps wide, which seemed to be because the mood of the Sanggan River was too irritable, and the waves on the river surface seemed more manic, and there were faint bursts of Turkic language behind it.

Because of his business, there are also Turkic herdsmen in his family, and he can understand that the Turks said in the back: "Catch the Han girl in front of you......"

Naturally, the Xiangli clan knew what the fate would be if they fell into the hands of the Turks. She made a difficult decision in her heart and asked Wu Yuanqing, "Yuanqing, are you afraid of death?" โ€

Wu Yuanqing didn't know what death was, he said loudly: "Ah Niang, Yuanqing is not afraid of death, afraid of pain!" โ€

Xiangli held Wu Yuanqing in his arms and choked up: "With A-Niang here, you won't hurt." โ€

At this moment, the guards behind the chariot were already engaged in a battle with the Turkic pursuers, and from time to time there were screams of arrows or slashes.

Xiang Li gritted his teeth, took out a silver makeup knife, slowly pulled out the scabbard, and was about to stab Wu Yuanqing in the back of the heart, when suddenly a guard hurriedly ran to the front of the car and said: "Madam, madam, the Turks and the Turks are fighting, and the dog's brains are all out!" โ€
