Li Yan suddenly woke up, his blood was boiling, and the sudden huge stimulation made him forget his fear and forget the battlefield in an instant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Like all the soldiers, he raised his hands high, waved his two small fists, blushed, and roared out with all his strength: "Big man...... Tianwei ......"

Li Lin looked at the majestic posture of his father waving his spear, listened to the deafening roar, and suddenly his heart trembled, and tears rained down. At this moment, she felt that she had melted into her father's body and felt the blood rushing in her father's body. At this moment, there is no life and death, no more timidity, only the pride and pride of being the soul of the Han, and only the courage to break the bones for the Han.

Li Lin raised his spear high and shouted loudly, "Big man...... Tianwei ......"

"Kill ......" Li Yi suddenly reined in the war horse, raised his spear in front of the war horse standing upright and neighing, "Kill ......"

"Kill ......" 5,000 soldiers shouted in unison, rode forward, and the iron cavalry army started in the midst of thunder.

Li Yan beat his horse like flying, kept shouting and shouting, but he couldn't hear anything, except for the roaring wind in his ears, it was the roar of a landslide and a crack, and all around him were dense iron cavalry soldiers, dense weapons, and dense battle flags. He felt like he had fallen into a raging flood, ready to perish at any moment, and the only thing he could hold on to was the reins of the horse, which he clung to and screamed helplessly on the horse's back.

"Protect the young master...... Dian Wei looked at the banner dancing in the wind in front of him, and shouted repeatedly, "Accelerate, speed up ......"

………………

Li Lin was dizzy and crumbling, she felt like she was going to die, her chest was about to explode, and the violently bumpy war horse threw her into the air again and again, as if to tear her into pieces.

Galloping through an army of horses and horses is not the same thing as a man galloping across an open grassland, and the mere roar is enough to crush a man to powder.

Li Lin groaned in pain, and she even wanted to let go of the horse's reins and let her body fall off the horse.

A big hand fell from the sky. Li Lin felt like she had flown into the sky, and then slammed into a familiar and wide embrace.

"Open your eyes and ......," Li Yi roared loudly, "Kill the enemy, kill the enemy with me......"

………………

The Qiang people rushed towards them.

The heavy cavalry of the most powerful general of the Han Dynasty was killed head-on, and for a time the arrows were like locusts, the sound of killing was like thunder, blood was splashed everywhere, and severed limbs and stumps flew all over the sky.

Tens of thousands of Han cavalry surrounded on all sides, and the bloody slaughter flooded the beautiful valley in an instant.

………………

The battle is coming to an end.

Li Yi rushed up a small hill with his personal guards, stuck the spear in his hand upside down on the ground, and turned over and dismounted with Li Lin in his arms.

Li Lin was shocked, her face was pale, and she was swaying while dragging Li Yi's robe.

Li Yi helped her sit down slowly, gently stroking her back.

Li Lin's thoughts were still immersed in the battle just now, she felt that her thin body was still trembling in her father's arms, she felt that the enemy's terrible screams were still echoing in her ears, and she felt that the blood-spurting human heads were still flying in front of her. The bloodshed and cruelty of the battlefield deeply irritated her, leaving her in extreme pain and helplessness.

………………

Zhao Tong, Guan Suo, Yue Lei, Zhang Shao, Dianman, Zhang Xiong and a group of children came on horseback, shouting excitedly one by one. As the person Li Yi chose to assist his eldest son Li Yan in the future, they naturally followed Li Yan when Li Yan came to the front line.

Although this was the first time they had personally participated in a decisive battle of tens of thousands of cavalry, they were all boys, and compared to Li Lin, they could adapt to the battlefield faster.

Li Yan galloped wildly on his horse in the deafening cheers of the soldiers, waving his hands and roaring, everywhere he went, the trumpets and drums sounded in unison, the battle flags danced wildly, the momentum was like a rainbow, and he had a bit of a king's spirit.

"Father, we won, and the Qiang thieves are all dead, and we have all killed them." Li Yan rushed to Li Yi's side and shouted happily.

Li Yi didn't have any joy on his face, he slowly looked up at the battlefield in the distance, and didn't speak for a long time.

"Father...... Li Yan's smile gradually narrowed, and he shouted suspiciously, "Didn't we fight well?" ”

"Yan'er, do you know why these Qiang people invaded the Great Han?" Li Yi asked suddenly.

Li Yan said without hesitation: "Because they are all bad people, they are barbaric and cruel, and they are greedy. They want to take over our land, they want to enslave our people. ”

Li Yi was silent for a moment, and then asked, "For more than a hundred years, we have been fighting with the Qiang people. They have been defeated again and again, but they have been defeated again and again, why? ”

Li Yan thought for a moment, pointed to the surrounding mountains, and said with some hesitation: "Because they are too poor." Although their home is very beautiful, it is uninhabited and has nothing, and if they want to live a good life, they can only rob it, and they can only burn and kill and plunder. ”

"Thousands of miles, not in vain." Li Yi looked at his eldest son in surprise, nodded again and again, and showed a hint of relief on his face.

Li Yan touched his face embarrassedly, and whispered: "We have been walking for four months, and we haven't even seen a ghost shadow on the road, except for a few broken cities, there are mountains and forests everywhere. If it weren't for the two battles between Yuzhong and here, I would have thought that there would be no one in Western Xinjiang at all. Can this place be inhabited? ”

"This place can be inhabited, and there are people living in places with worse conditions than here, but it's just ......," Jia Xu sighed, "The people who live in these places have struggled with hunger and cold for generations, and they have fought with the sky and the earth in order to survive. When the heavens and the earth no longer pity them and abandon them, they can only go out of this land to find a better place to live. ”

Li Yan and a group of little guys looked up at the clear blue sky and the lush and beautiful forest, and suddenly felt a sense of sadness and helplessness in their hearts.

Although the home is beautiful, it cannot bear the weight of life. As her descendant, she can't leave here, but she has to find a way to live, and the price of survival is not only death, but also the disaster of ethnic annihilation and the destruction of her homeland.

Just like today's Great and Small Elm Valleys, when thousands of corpses lie on the land they once struggled for, have their souls given up their desire and pursuit of survival?

"We have been fighting with the Hu people in the desert for hundreds of years......," Li Yi said with emotion, "In the past hundred years, we have fought to the death with the Qiang people, why?" It's all about survival, fighting for the land of survival, fighting for the right to survive. ”

"The Hu people want to live, they rob our land again and again and slaughter our people in order to survive, what about us?" Jia Xu's eyes were blazing, and he swept over the faces of the young master Li Yan and the children one by one, "We are also here to survive, to be able to live, and to be able to live better." ”

"As long as you can live, no matter what the cost is, all living beings in the world will move forward indomitably, even if you are broken." Li Yan looked at his thoughtful eldest son and said in a low voice, "We Han people are the same, in order to resist the tyrannical Qin, there were Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and later Gaozu and Xiang Yi, and the heroes of the world flocked to it. Two hundred years ago, Wang Mang was in turmoil, with red eyebrows and green forests in front of him, and Shizu and Changshi in the back, and heroes from all over the world roared. Seventeen years ago, the Yellow Turban Incident, the society was shaken, twelve years ago, Dong Zhuo brought disaster to the country, Han Zuo was crumbling, we fought bloodily and struggled, for what? To survive is to be able to live. ”

"Whether it is a struggle for power, interests or territory, in the final analysis, it is a struggle for survival." Jia Xu smiled bitterly and looked up at the sky, "Yesterday, the Qiang people killed us, today, we killed the Qiang people, who is right and who is wrong?" In the face of survival, there is no right or wrong. ”

Li Yi turned around and faced the battlefield strewn with corpses, speechless for a long time.

Li Yan and the others stood around him, silently looking at the battlefield of corpses, their expressions solemn, and the excitement and joy just now had long since disappeared.

"The purpose of the battle for survival is to live, to keep life going...... Li Yi patted Li Yan lightly on the back, and said solemnly, "If you lose your life, what is the point of the battle for survival?" ”

"When you stand in front of these corpses, when you cheer for your victory, you also mourn for the bloodiness and cruelty of existence. You should keep everyone from this endless killing, and you should do everything you can to keep everyone alive...... Living is the ultimate goal of our killing, and it is the meaning of survival. ”

Li Yan nodded again and again as if he didn't understand, but he understood one thing, if he could let everyone live, they could live better, there would be no killing, there would be no such bloody and cruel killing, and there would be no life fighting for survival one after another.

………………

According to the agreement, the Han army surrounded and annihilated the armies of the Qiang tribes such as Zhong Cun and Sister Gao, and the clansmen, property and territories of these tribes were owned by Baimaqiang and Shenluoqiang. Soon after the battle in the Great and Small Elm Valleys ended, Li Yi summoned Yang Biao and Yu Feng, fulfilled his promise, and asked them to immediately send people to visit Liangzhou Assassin Shi Jia Xu and Longxi Taishou Zhang Ji to discuss the specific matters of gradually moving into the territory of the Han Dynasty.

It has been 17 years since the Bianzhang and Han Sui uprisings in Liangzhou, and the Xiliang war has not stopped in these 17 years, and it is deserted, if you stick to the old rules and refuse to let the Qiang people move in, the border war will never stop, and Xiliang will also fall into a vicious circle of poverty. Therefore, the only way to quickly stabilize Western Xinjiang is to appropriately and gradually move into the Qiang ethnic groups, let the Qiang people outside the country belong to the Han Dynasty, and let them live the life of food and clothing that they have always dreamed of.

Li Yifeige sent a letter to the Jicheng Imperial Court, detailing the current situation in Western Xinjiang, asking the Imperial Court to do everything possible to raise money and grain, increase the pacification and relief of various counties in Western Xinjiang, and demand that the supervision of officials at all levels in Western Xinjiang be strengthened. If it is found that there are those who are corrupt and pervert the law, and those who bully and oppress the Qiang people, they will be severely punished, and resolutely avoid repeating the mistakes of the century-old war in Xiliang.
