Power and Empire Chapter 2997: Cut off Yunkong (26)
Under the gloomy sky, a long line slowly moved toward the west. Looking around, they were all the people from Central and Biyah who were troubled. Bai Wufeng stopped the horse by the roadside and took down the water sac to drink water. , The situation was worse than he thought. When he realized that the direction was towards the wilderness to the west, the team began to appear in the team.
"Why go west, where is Ximanzi's territory?" Someone found an abnormality and whispered.
"Isn’t it about selling us all to Ximanzi as slaves?" Someone also made horrifying speculations
"This is hard to say, otherwise why don't we let us go home"
Various voices made Bai Wufeng feel a headache. He used to kill Liwei with a breath. Now he goes all the way to the west, watching these embarrassed civilians, and then he uses the knife at these unarmed civilians. , I always feel aggrieved in panic,
"How can you do this, how can you sell them to the Western Continent?"
"Who doesn’t have wives, children, or children, don’t you feel ashamed? Where is Ximanzi, I’m afraid the situation is not as good as the prairie people." An old man jumped out and pointed at Bai Wufeng’s nose and cursed. , Several Yanzhou cavalry rushed up to arrest the old man, but they were called out by Bai Wufeng
"What is this old man?" Bai Wufeng immediately bowed slightly,
"I'm Li Keyan, the local superintendent!" The old man Ling Ran righteously, completely putting his life and death out of control,
"Supervisor? Li Keyan!' Bai Wufeng was taken aback for a moment. He clenched the handle of the knife, but released it again. He looked at the old man stupidly, and his whole body trembled with excitement for a while, Li Keyan. Ah, as long as you are from the Northwest, who would not know Li Keyan!
Yanzhou, that's also a part of the northwest. It is said that this old man's personality is a bit stupefied. It seems to be true. In this case, who dares to jump out, the heads of the people killed in front are rolling, the man on the blade The blood hasn't been wiped off, so he dared to jump out and point at someone to curse, this old man is really not afraid of death! Loose scholar robes support the strength of character and strength, and those who can become superintendents are all quite prestigious university scholars in the region. Bai Wufeng didn’t know that among these Chinese and Biyarians, there was Li Keyan. This is in the whole Northwest is a famous person, and it is also a person that Bai Wufeng admires very much,
At the time when Bai Wufeng first entered Yanzhou, he wanted to use his family relationship to secure a place for him to become a disciple of Li Keyan, but because at that time Bai Wufeng was only an outreach, such a precious place was naturally reserved for Zhang. The core child of the family has always regretted Bai Wufeng,
I didn’t expect to see Li Keyan himself in this situation today, not to mention that Bai Wufeng was stupid, even the people around him were a little stupid.
"They are ordinary civilians, please don't embarrass them." Li Keyan looked at Bo Wufeng with a solemn expression. The scene of this person slashing Huang Lin with a knife flashed in his mind. He clenched his fingers sharply and said sharply." If the adults are really short of money, just sell me. My name is Li Keyan and I belong to the Li family. As long as you write to the Li family, they will definitely give you money."
"Selling Li!" Bai Wufeng looked at the old man’s thin and awkward face, and couldn’t help but move slightly. As expected, he was clamorous, no wonder he was demoted from Imperial Capital to the northwest at the age of 30, 30 years of ups and downs. , I don’t know how many students from the Northwest have been sent away. They may not appear in the military circles in the Northwest, but they are like Optimus Prime in the literary circles in the Northwest. More than half of the scholars in the northwest consider themselves Li Keyan’s disciples.
"My lord, our numbers are a bit too small. Once there is a commotion, I'm afraid..."
A subordinate also leaned over and said, gazing on Li Keyan, faintly revealing a bit of fear. Offending Li Keyan is equivalent to offending the entire northwestern scholars, as well as countless Northwestern students who have entered the imperial government system. , It’s not a good deal,
Although he has lost his sense of identity with China and Bahrain, from a personal point of view, Li Keyan is also a great Confucian who has to be respected. He has supported the Northwestern academic affairs with his own strength, and has worked hard to send batches of Northwestern students. The first person in the Northwestern Civil Service who entered the China-Biyadh empire has the title of incorruptible in terms of wind. It is said that Li Keyan, as an inspector, is also a member of the Li family. The family is logically rich, but Li Keyan will The money and material were used to support poor students, but it turned out to be his two sons. One was in a famine year and had no food to eat. If he ate too much Guanyin soil, he couldn’t get it out. At home, the time is up, and there is no money, but Li Keyan broke a leg alive, and has declared that he has severed his father-son relationship with Li Keyan
Also, Li Keyan is still from the Li family. Now it is Li Yuehua, the little princess of the Li family, who presides over the wilderness intelligence. This background has to be taken into consideration. Bai Wufeng can slay Huang Lin cleanly, but he cannot treat Li Keyan like this. The Northwest Confucian Raises a Sword
According to the current situation, it is unrealistic to bring back all the hundreds of thousands of Chinese and Bahrainians. It is because Bai Wufeng’s previous ideas were too naive, thinking that they would be brought back from the grasslands. When the Biya people were rescued, the other party would be grateful to him. In addition, most of his homes were destroyed. Naturally, he followed him desperately, but in fact it was not the case at all. The hundreds of thousands of Chinese Biya people were saved. , But the other party is not grateful to him at all, he just wants to go home immediately, this is the nature of the people of China and Biya,
Most of those who leave secretly are with families. Even if they are forced to buckle down, they are not here.
On the contrary, the rest did not run, but the real family was destroyed. The prairie people swept and looted, burned and killed countless, but also destroyed countless, and there were many ruins along the way. Most of the houses were in ruins, even one that could shelter the wind. No village where the rain is intact can be found. For these people, the world is wide but there is no foothold. Even if they go back, it is a dead end. These people will really follow Bo Wufeng, and they have figured this out. , Bai Wufeng breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand and said, "Well, let the order go on, leave it as you like, continue if you are willing to follow us, and leave if you don’t, don’t chase after"
'My lord is wise." The subordinate nodded with excitement. They are all from Central and Biyadh. Seeing these embarrassed compatriots, their hearts are always tangled, so the cavalry below is also one by one. The suffering, now the above orders to let him go free, there is a burst of cheers immediately,
"No matter what you are, go and stay willing to stay"
The Yanzhou cavalry began to disperse, and even if they saw someone fleeing, they stopped chasing after it. Once the binding force was lost, the large queue of hundreds of thousands of people dispersed at once, and the Yanzhou cavalry, which had a mere thousands of people, simply couldn't care about it Too many, I saw that the Yanzhou cavalry in iron armor had given up the outside line. At first, there were only a few dozen people who tried to escape. When they camped at night, hundreds of people fled. By the next morning, they had already ran away. With thirty or forty thousand people, all the way to the west, the team was scattered all the way, but a hundred miles away, he had walked one day and one night, and when he reached the border of the empire, seeing the long queue that had become so sparse, Bai Wufeng could only shake his head and smile bitterly. , I walked too much, and re-counted the number of people, 67,453, which means that there are less than one-third left,
Why doesn't Supervisor Lee leave?
Bai Wufeng looked at Li Keyan who was riding on a thin horse, and asked in a condensed voice. After all, Li Keyan is too old to walk last night. Bai Wufeng asked him to give him an old horse, Ben I thought that Li Keyan would leave at the first time, but when he left the camp, this Li Keyan came out again, which really surprised Bai Wufeng
"The old wife died in the war, and my son didn't recognize me. I had nowhere to go. I had long heard that there was a falcon empire in the west. He opened his eyes before he died." Li Keyan's wrinkled old face was full of calmness. He used a simple and over-knotted wooden hairpin to hang his white hair casually, and his long gown was even more sprinkled in the wind. , Chuckled and said, "You are not afraid of your jokes when you are young. When I was young, my biggest dream was to one day be able to travel the world with a sword, go to a distant place to see, look at the world, and see if there is an end to this sky. It's a pity that this wish has always been difficult to achieve. I didn't expect that when I grew old, I had such a crazy attitude! "
"Also, since Superintendent Lee has this mindset, there may be unexpected joys and it is hard to say"
Bai Wufeng laughed, he slapped his horse and swung his whip forward, which is the border of the empire. For people like Li Keyan who are full of loyal thoughts, if you know that there is Li Yuehua in front of him, there is the most noble moon in the royal family. Princess, I’m afraid I won’t be able to say such a cool thing.
Bai Wufeng brought more than 60,000 Chinese and Byanese across the border and entered the empire. He didn’t know that he had stabbed a hornet’s nest, or that he was behind him at this moment. The entire northwestern grassland tribe was already like a storm. Swept the same way
Thousands of grassland swiftly ride like a big net and quickly spread westward along the earth. Soon, most of the scattered Central and Biyarians were discovered by the scouts of the grassland people. In the morning light of dawn, the grassland The smoke and dust rolled up by the iron rider has a feeling of covering the sky and the sun for a while,
Yeluguda is riding a horse on a grassy hill. The wind blows his strong short hair. He wears a cross-shaped helmet on his head. He looks at the distance with solemn and ruthless eyes, stopping. Living on the war horse, a subordinate galloped from the front on horseback and jumped off the war horse at a distance of ten meters from Yeluguda. His look and his exhilarating report
"My lord, caught it!"
"Oh, Yeluguda's gaze swept over like a knife, and a trace of coldness flashed like a wolf found its prey. The army has been driving west for a day and night, and the three remnants of Bletilla striata are the guides. It should be reasonable. It's almost done. He stabilized the horse with his feet, looked at this subordinate, and asked in a condensed voice, "Is it clear that the other party's identity, how many troops, and where is it going?" "
"The other party claimed to be the Mingyue Yanzhou Army, the number of which was only over a thousand, and there were still sixty to seventy thousand people from Central and Biyadh." The subordinates reported with a solemn expression. After receiving the news that the prey had entered the imperial wilderness, Yelvgu Da's face was silent for more than ten seconds, his eyes were only staring at the mountain ravine ahead, the empire! This is no wonder, what else can be other than the empire that can defeat the three parts of Bletilla striata with a thousand cavalry! Although I don’t know what this so-called Mingyue Yanzhou Army is, there is no doubt that behind this army is the empire supporting it.
"What about the young patriarch?" The leaders of the tribe all looked at Yeluguda, and there was a murderous breath spreading in the silent air. A hundred thousand army has already arrived. Is it just because the opponent fled into the empire? Stop it? The second report on the Mingyue Yanzhou Army came in ten minutes later. This is another group of Central and Biyarians who have been stopped.
One of the obscure news made Yeluguda's eyes narrowed into a line
"What, you are not mistaken? Mingyue means Princess Mingyue, and the Yanzhou army is the remnant of Yanzhou back then! Are you sure you mean it!"
Yelguda’s face showed a touch of astonishment, and the other tribe leaders also had expressions of disbelief. Didn’t the Princess Mingyue of Central Biya declare that she was dead? As for the Yanzhou Army, when the army was trapped and killed, there were some fish that slipped through the net. But under such circumstances, linking these two pieces of information together is a completely different matter. The Biyaren recognized one of them. He was a member of the Yanzhou Army at the time, and the two were still fellow villagers, so what they heard from the other was this "cavalry who sent back the news said loudly
"Young patriarch! IndoMTL.com~ must be killed whether it is true or not, and there must not be a glimmer of hope for the Chinese people." The patriarchs of more than a dozen tribes said in unison at the moment. The emperor’s life and death are unknown, and the royal family is even weaker. No one dared to stand up. As long as time is taken, China and Biya are the result of internal strife and division. When the time comes, Yelu’s family will be invincible when they go south, but if Princess Mingyue is really still alive, and still pull Once the news reaches the hinterland of China, the shock and the impact on the people of China can be imagined.
"Okay, everyone move forward, even if you cross the border, you must find them!" Yeluguda took a deep breath and raised the whip in his hand
"Forward!" All the clan chiefs issued an order. The 100,000 steppe cavalry was advancing like a huge wave, and the mist was still floating on the ground. The horses rolled up a whirlpool of white masses, wind and cloud. Occasionally, the violent cavalry like a storm, the dense rumbling sound resounded through the earth, followed by the cavalry galloping up,
The earth is like a chess. The swift black line of the prairie cavalry rushes toward the west with a fierce momentum. The sun has just revealed half of its face from the clouds. The light dark clouds are like a layer of black yarn, and the low morning mist has dispersed. . In the hazy morning light, black lines emerged from the edge of the grass, and a large stretch of dim and messy road stretched out infinitely far away, and several huge queues were like a sea of war horses. (To be continued.)
