Chapter Seventy-Four: The March of Suffering

Hundreds of cavalry in black iron armor galloped past in front of Hangu Pass, and the soldiers guarding Hangu Pass all saluted. It's as polite as if his father has passed here.

Yun Yue threw off the brigade and took three hundred bearded sword knights without even sitting in the carriage. All the way to Xianyang, the guard will let him go without even letting go of a fart when he passes through Hangu Pass. The last time was a big victory, and he killed the captain of the guard. Now as a counterinsurgency general, no one has come to trouble this grumpy marquis.

The Modao battalion was left to Zhi Xiao, and the heavy armored cavalry was also left to Zhi Xiao. Coupled with the wings of Zhixiao's 8,000 soldiers, no one dared to attack them except the Huns. Zhi Xiao and Chu Dayong, Zhang Han will lead the headquarters through the border between Wei and the Huns. From the northern route back to Pingliang, the only risk on this road is time. Be sure to finish it within a month, otherwise the December wind and snow will freeze everything.

Yesterday, he agreed to Yun Yue's conditions and took advantage of the territory of the Xiongnu to go to Pingliang. This is not a big deal, if you win the favor of Yunhou because of this. It will not affect next year's horse market, and it will be a great achievement.

As for the border army of the Wei people, they saw that the Modao battalion had only escaped. This army really gave them too many terrifying memories that even the hoplite Wei Wushu was unwilling to face them.

Yun Yue's will was to put down the rebellion, and now all the rebels are bowing down. The army of the Duke of Qi ran over the three eastern counties like a mountain, and those suspected of rebellion were all put on display. In fact, there's nothing to show at all! In some places, entire villages were slaughtered. Yun Yue saw the cruelty of the counterinsurgency war for the first time, from the eighty-year-old woman to the doll in the confinement child.

Incidents of slaughtering villages abound in the three eastern counties, and the underworld leaders that Yun Yue subdued. Chu Lao Er. Ge Laosan. Ma Laosi was swallowed up by the surging Qin army. In front of the army. All underworld organizations will melt like snow and ice in July.

Yun Yue didn't bother to care about them, those guys weren't good. Du Yuesheng's night pot theory can actually be deduced in reverse. The person in power is actually the night pot of the Black Society. Whoever is in power, they fertilize his field. People take tea and cool, and it has not changed from ancient times to the present. It's really good to go to Xianyang to ask for supplies, and there is this beautiful jade of the Huns. The 2,000 households are estimated to be no problem. The loss in the embankment is compensated outside the embankment. I have lost so many strong men, and I have to make up for it.

Fan Zeng was holding Yun Yue's war knife in his hand, which Yun Yue gave to Fan Zeng in front of everyone. There is only one head in the army, Zhang Han is young, and Chu Dayong is a rammer. Zhi Xiao is suitable, but it is a dream to expect him to be able to command Chu Dayong and Zhang Han to be such arrogant soldiers. Weigh it up, and only Fan Zeng is suitable. Although this guy has not been involved in the revolution for a long time, he is very popular.

You can drink with Chu Dayong, and you can talk with Zhang Han all night. From time to time, he also exchanged gifts with Zhi Xiao, of course, Fan Zeng's gifts are usually just calligraphy works, and Zhi Xiao is real money.

Fan Zeng, this guy has a very high cultural background. Paper is a rarity in these days. But Fan Zeng is quite easy to use, and he is a bit decent. Yun Yue was amazed when she saw it. Later generations of computers typed out nothing more than that. It's just that many words still have traces of seal characters, and Yun Yue can't understand much.

Holding the saber given by Yun Yue, Fan Zeng was much more confident. This thing is Shang Fang's sword, and with this thing, he is not afraid of the commands of the arrogant soldiers.

More and more people gathered in Liangcheng, so that the black pressure outside the city was full of people, and there was a tendency to be unable to see the edge at a glance.

The repressive policies carried out by the Duke of Qi were so cruel that anyone suspected of participating in the rebellion was killed. Even the infant baby was thrown to death on a tree.

There are corpses hanging from trees in every village, swaying in the autumn wind. The land of the three eastern counties is full of newly dug tombs. Many of the Zhuangzi in the fiefdom do not have new graves, and they do not see people walking around and seem to be very quiet. It was not that the Duke of Qi let them go, on the contrary, the Duke of Qi took the means of exterminating these rebel activists who actively supported the rebellion and had the money to contribute money and food.

The whole village was slaughtered, and if you walk inside, you will be amazed to find the original rich Zhuangzi. It has been reduced to the world of foxes and wolves and mice, and the original heaven and earth are now very harmonious. The corpses of the dead were enough for them to survive the winter, and the rats ate human flesh and ate them so red that their eyes were as if they had become sperm. Some are so bold that they even dare to attack living people passing by in groups.

Such a high-pressure situation has created a staggering number of refugees. Liang Cheng lives with Yun Yue, and Gong Qi also gave some face. The Qin army never made trouble within twenty miles of Liangcheng, and even if there was a rebellion to be caught, he would inform Fan Zeng and let him take the initiative to hand people over.

When Fan Zeng took people on the road, he was accompanied by more than just the family members who lived under Zhi Xiao. It is a whole team of more than 100,000 people, including the elderly and the young. Seeing that Fan Zeng was straight, such a team couldn't travel much in a day. It's almost impossible to cross the vast grasslands before the blizzard comes.

"Zhixiao, your men are not allowed to give up the carriage to those refugees. This will kill everyone, and if we can't get to Pingliang before the snowstorm comes, we will all freeze to death on the grassland. Don't expect there to be enough charcoal to heat so many people. Although he received a lot of benefits, Fan Zeng still didn't save any face for Zhi Xiao. He's the manager now and he's thinking about the whole team.

"Mr. Fan, they are all from the township. Now that I'm in trouble, how can I not pull a hand. Besides, many people are still a little bit close. You can be accommodating and let Modaoying get out of the car and take a walk. It's a lifesaver! Zhi Xiao is also helpless, many of these refugees are related to his subordinates. No matter how ruthless they were, they couldn't be left behind and let the Qin army kill. In the past few days, three or four hundred people have been arrested one after another.

The arrested people have no chance to fight at all, and pulling down the roadside "click" is a knife. The blood soared to the ground, and the headless body fell to the ground at once, and some would stretch out their arms and move their legs twice.

The roadside was littered with such corpses, and the refugees were numb to the sight. In order to prevent the Qin army from arresting people at will, Zhi Xiao's subordinates took the initiative to let the carriage and ox cart out. Letting those refugees sit on it, although it protected the refugees, it also greatly slowed down the speed of the march, and Fan Zeng was quite dissatisfied with this.

"You're alright! Let those uncles get out of the car and take a walk, to put it lightly. Don't think about those things that don't matter, take care of your own people, this march is extremely difficult, and many people will die. I can't guarantee that the families of your soldiers will survive to Pingliang. They die, or your loved ones die. The choice is yours! From tomorrow onwards, the march will be sixty miles a day. I won't wait long enough to keep up. Fan Zeng turned around and left, sometimes he had to harden his heart for the sake of most people's lives.

Fan Zeng's words didn't seem to work, and the queue was still long the next morning. Fan Zeng, who was helpless, sighed and could only give up. But the mileage of the daily march has not changed at all, and it is necessary to rush back to Pingliang within a month, which is a hard bar. Whether these people have the life to go to Pingliang or not, it depends on the will of God. If there is a sudden heavy snowfall on the grassland, I believe that at least half of these people will die.

The weather in Xianyang is already quite cold, and some people who are afraid of the cold have been wrapped in winter clothes. The inside of the Jiaofang Hall was as warm as spring, and Chang Yu held a gorgeous cotton robe and sent it to Zhao Ji.

"The Queen Mother, this is specially sewn by Yunhou for the Queen Mother. It's really comfortable to wear on the body, much lighter than fur, and it's rare to be warmer than fur. I heard that the cotton called it was brought by Pinglianghou from a merchant in the Western Regions. Chang Yu said respectfully, but her eyes kept glancing at Zhao Ji's chest.

As a veteran who has been in the Fengyue Field for many years, Chang Yu slept with the mother of Great Qin after only three days after entering the palace. The strong kung fu in bed makes Zhao Ji greedy, and even Ye Ye Shengge, a talented brother, can play it with ease.

These days, Zhao Ji's complexion is very good, and she is also a mess. In addition, Yun Yue made a loud noise in the three eastern counties, and the mood full of gloom a few days ago also improved.

"Yunhou can always make good things, I don't know what's wrong. In this world, all the outstanding objects in the world are camping in the Yun family. As soon as Zhao Ji waved his hand, the two palace people picked up the cotton robe. The black brocade robe was trimmed with gold, and the placket was lined with glass beads. Under the glow of Candle Mountain, Zhao Ji's eyes immediately lit up.

What would such a garment look like on one's body? Women are actually about the same as birds. Born with a strong interest in things that will shine, he doesn't wait for two palace people to come over. Zhao Ji couldn't wait to walk over and drape this gorgeous brocade robe on her body.

I don't know if it's warmer than fur, but it's true that it's lighter than fur. Zhao Ji hurriedly walked to the huge dressing mirror and looked left and right in front of the dressing mirror. The beauty in the mirror is full of glamorous light, where is the half-aged in her thirties, it is simply a twenty-eight beauty.

"When the Queen Mother wears this dress, she is simply a fairy descending to earth, and she is in danger of blinding the slave and maid's tricks! Pinglianghou is really hearted, I heard that this dress was tailor-made by 7749 embroiderers for the Queen Mother. Chang Yu came over diligently and pulled the corners of Zhao Ji's clothes.

"As far as you can speak, why are you from the Prime Minister's Mansion always speaking for Pinglianghou. But took the benefits of Pinglianghou? ”

"The slave is just telling the truth!"

"Humph! The sincere and false mourners are clearly distinguished, and the mourners who really do things for the mourners will not forget. Go and tell Pingliang Hou that this time he has made a great contribution, and he will definitely reward him with what he promised, and the Great Qin royal family will not break his word.
