Chapter 142 Northwest Wolf Smoke
The lonely smoke in the desert is straight, and the sun is setting in the long river.
Yongzhou and Liangzhou are located in the northwest of the territory of the Han Empire, but Yongzhou sits on the fertile soil in Guanzhong. The city of Chang'an is the old capital of the former dynasty, and the agriculture is developed. In addition, the Yellow Turban Rebellion did not affect this place, so it can be regarded as densely populated. wealthy.
Compared with Liangzhou and Yongzhou, there is a huge difference. Liangzhou counties have a total of more than 100,000 households and 400,000 people, while Yongzhou has nearly 300,000 people in Jingzhaoyin, where Chang'an is located, and Yongzhou and Liangzhou. The contrast is evident from this.
However, Chang'an is the western capital of the Han Dynasty after all, so the imperial court has always had a strong control over Yongzhou. However, due to the decline of national power and the decline of the power of the Western Regions Protectorate, the imperial court has gradually been unable to reach Liangzhou. As the saying goes, the combination of grace and power, usually suppressed by the strong army of the Han Dynasty, these Qiang people are still honest, and now they finally showed their fangs.
"drive!"
In the jurisdiction of Ayang County, two large carts bumped up and down on the way, surrounded by more than a hundred riders, but the clothes and appearance of these hundreds of riders were completely different from those of the Han people. They wore thick fur felt hats on their heads and Wearing a thick sheepskin coat with a raised collar to keep out the wind and sand, basically everyone has curved horns on their backs and bows, and their facial features are relatively deep.
The two carts bumped all the way, and stopped at a military camp in the wilderness. The leading Huren Xiaoxiao opened his mouth with a series of confused Qiang language, but the Han people who had lived in Liangzhou for a long time could understand it. What he said was "Report to the general, Bian Zhang and Han Sui, who are engaged in Liangzhou, have brought them here."
"Hahaha, big talents like Bian Yuncheng and Han Wenyue are here, this dilapidated barracks is really full of splendor."
From the barracks full of exotic style, more than ten riders rode head-on, and a man in the middle with a high nose and deep eyes and gorgeous clothes was obviously the leader of this group of barbarians. Although the Hu people are rebellious, everyone admires the Han culture, so this handsome Hu man can utter a few idioms, but the term "Pengpi Shenghui" includes the dilapidated military camp, which is obviously suspected of showing off.
The curtains of the two carts were pulled open, and the two jumped out of the carts. Although their clothes were a bit messy, they had outstanding temperaments, especially when surrounded by a group of barbarians, they stood out from the crowd, just like two university professors standing Among a group of people who have not gone to school, it can be seen at a glance.
The person on the left sneered: "Is that how the famous Hu Shuai Beigong Boyu treats guests?"
It turned out that this handsome Hu was named Beigong Boyu, and he was the commander of the largest Hu tribe in Liangzhou. It was he who colluded with Xian Lingqiang and caused this chaos.
Beigong Boyu took a step forward and dusted off Bian Zhang and Han Sui: "Yuncheng and Wenyue are celebrities in Liangzhou, if someone sends someone to invite them, I'm afraid they won't be able to invite them."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and restored the majestic and majestic face of a barbarian: "What are you looking at? Why don't you invite two celebrities to go down and clean up the dust?"
Bian Zhang and Han Sui waved their sleeves and snorted, adjusted their clothes, and then walked down leisurely, while a few bearded and thick bearded generals beside them were furious and cursed one after another.
"General! These two Han people have been captured by us. What's there to show off?"
"That's right! The general gave an order, but I ignored them and took their heads."
"We have tens of thousands of soldiers, why should we look at the faces of two Han people?"
Beigong Boyu was furious: "What are you doing? Are you rebelling? Listen to me or yours." After all, he was elected as handsome by Hu people and Xianling Qiang people, and everyone dared not mutter.
Beigong Boyu sighed: "What do you know? Although we have tens of thousands of soldiers, we have no famous generals. Both Bian Zhang and Han Sui are famous men in Liangzhou. These two men are better than a hundred thousand troops."
What's more, no matter how great his Beigong Boyu's prestige among the Hu people is, it is only the prestige among the Hu people. As long as there was only one Liangzhou Sanming back then, the Han court would randomly allocate thousands of soldiers and horses, even if they were alone If you come to Liangzhou to command the local Han army, you may be able to easily defeat tens of thousands of Huqi.
The Hu people can't compete with the culturally prosperous Han people, they must cooperate with the Han people, otherwise Beigong Boyu's fiery temper would have chopped off Bian Zhang's head with a single knife.
While Bian Zhang and Han Sui cleaned up and looked radiant, they were arranged in a simple and brand-new military tent, whispering.
Bian Zhang let out a long sigh: "Wen Yue, Beigong Boyu openly rebelled against the imperial court, and even arrested you and me here. What can we do for the current plan?"
Han Sui's expression remained normal: "Yuncheng, who do you think Beigong Boyu is?"
Bian Zhang was taken aback when he heard the words: "Hu man."
Han Sui smiled disdainfully: "I know that the Hu people are tyrannical by nature, if you and I swear to die, what will happen to Beigong Boyu?"
"."
Bian Zhang fell into contemplation. Although Beigong Boyu was respectful to the two of them, he was actually tyrannical by nature. This time he was polite because he asked Bian Zhang and Han Sui. Hu people are beasts in human skin. Once Bian Zhang and Han Sui categorically refuse, Beigong Boyu may be the first to raise the butcher's knife against them.
Bian Zhang raised his head: "What do you say?"
Han Sui smiled coldly, stood up, and looked confident: "Yuncheng, the princes of the court, I don't know how many times I have mentioned the abandonment of Sanfu. In my eyes, if the bones of more than a dozen old emperors in Chang'an are still there, I'm afraid... hehe."
"If we agree to Beigong Boyu and separatize Liangzhou, I am afraid that the imperial court will not only not punish us, but will breathe a sigh of relief. We will help them get rid of their serious troubles."
Han Sui patted Bian Zhang's shoulder lightly, paused each word, and said meaningfully: "One side is a prisoner, and the other side is a separate regime and a king, splitting the soil and dividing the land, Yuncheng has to think about it."
Bian Zhang was sweating coldly when he heard that, Beigong Boyu's tyrannical eyes appeared in front of him again, and his five fingers tightly grasped the handle of the scimitar.
"no!"
Bian Zhang gasped heavily, his eyes met Han Sui's.
"Wen Yue, I don't want to die"
Han Sui nodded: "I don't want to die either."
The two looked at each other, nodded slowly, and had already made up their minds.
Han Sui walked out of the camp and called the Qiang guards: "Go and tell General Beigong that Bian Zhang and Han Sui want to see him and have something to say to him."
The Qiang man nodded, took the horse casually, galloped back after a while, and said in Qiang language: "General, please go over."
A long time ago, Qiang people had led two tall horses. Although Bian Zhang and Han Sui were engaged in Liangzhou, but they lived in the northwest for a long time, they were naturally proficient in horse bows and horses. They got on their horses and went straight to the central army tent.
