Turbulent Times Chapter 8: Bodo
When he heard that Tuyuhun had dispatched an army of 50,000 to attack Jincheng County, Mi Qinhu knew that the Turkic conspiracy had begun to operate, and he was a very crucial part of this huge conspiracy.
But when things came to an end, he thought of the strength and resilience of the Han Dynasty, so he hesitated again. If the Turkic plan succeeds, it is good, he will sit in the rich Tianshui County, but if it fails, the Turkic and Tuyuhun people can retreat, but what about his sword department, is he going to lead his people to leave their hometown like wild dogs? .
I immediately stood on a high mountain road, across a short hill, looking at the lights in the east, that was Longxi City, the next thing he needed to do was to help the Turks take down Longxi City, and even the entire Longxi County, The Sui army's food supply and retreat in Jincheng County were cut off. In this way, the morale of the Sui army that fought against Tuyuhun would inevitably be greatly affected. The army occupied the entire Yongzhou and approached the hinterland of Guanzhong in the Great Sui Dynasty.
"Mi Qinhu, the arrow is on the string, are you still hesitating?" A somewhat old voice sounded behind him, and Mi Qinhu turned his head quickly.
A bald head first came into his eyes, followed by an old face with dark skin and wrinkles, and then he was wearing a gorgeous cassock. cross.
Mi Qinhu quickly got off his horse and saluted the old monk: "Honorable Master Bo Duo, it's very windy here, why are you here?"
The only one who can make Mi Qinhu, the head of the largest Qiang tribe in Yongzhou, respectful, except Dugu Moyu, the governor of Yongzhou, is the old monk in front of him who is called Boduo Dharma King. No one knows the identity of Boduo Dharma King. No one has ever seen him eat fast and recite the Buddha's name, but the teachings he spreads have many believers among the Turkic, Tuyuhun, and Qiang people. A large part of the reason why Mi Qinhu agreed to cooperate with the Turkic people this time was because of the presence of King Boduo.
"I just got the news that Dugu Moyu, the governor of Yongzhou, will stay in Gangu City tonight and will leave the city for Jincheng County tomorrow morning. He has only a thousand cavalry guards around him. I have already told the news to Wutu, the leader of the three thousand Turkic cavalry. , He has led 3,000 cavalry to set off on the mountain path, if he succeeds, we will capture Dugu Moyu alive tomorrow." Dharma King Bo Duo did not answer Mi Qinhu's question, but said to himself.
When Mi Qinhu heard this, his face changed several times, and the anger in his eyes flashed away, but in the end it turned into a sigh of determination and heart. Since the Turkic people had already dispatched, he had no choice.
It's just that, looking at this old monk, he felt an inexplicable fear deep in his heart. It was easy for Dugu Moyu to inquire in Longxi City. After all, there was a lot of movement under the **** of a thousand cavalry. But it's hard to find out when Dugu Moyu left Longxi City. He just got the news, and it's because his Ge Dao Department was originally in Longxi County, and it's the result of years of operation. But this old monk came to Longxi County only a few days ago, and he was able to know such secret news.
What really terrified him was that three thousand Turkic cavalry had already left, but no one reported to him.
He knows that the tribe believes in Nestorianism, but if his authority in the tribe is affected by his belief, this is definitely not what he wants to see.
The change in Mi Qinhu's expression could not escape the eyes of King Bo Duo, who flashed an astonishing killing intent in his eyes, and said lightly: "Since you don't really believe in my teaching, then what's the use of keeping you! "
Mi Qinhu was startled when he heard the words, and he yelled that it was not good. He unsheathed the treasured sword in his hand decisively, and slashed at Bo Duo Dharma King like lightning. With his strength, although he can barely catch the knife when he is caught off guard, he will definitely be injured.
However, just such a knife was blown away by the sleeve waved by Fawang Boduo, and Mi Qinhu himself rolled three feet away, spit out a mouthful of hot blood, roared, and was about to turn over and call out The guards took down the thief monk. However, two Qiang warriors suddenly came over and put the knife around his neck.
"You two are so brave, you dare to use a knife on me." Seeing that his two personal soldiers betrayed him, Mi Qinhu was extremely angry while feeling desperate in his heart.
"Give him to Mi Qinchi, and say that he will be the chief of the Ge Dao tribe from now on." Bo Duo Fawang said lightly.
The two Qiang warriors went away respectfully and enthusiastically. King Bo Duo pondered for a while, and then said: "Go and call the steward named Zhang Tao sent by the Zhang family in Tianshui County. He has a good talk."
Already there was another samurai from the Ge Dao Department who bowed and said yes, and then left quickly.
…
…
The next day, Dugu Moyu, the governor of Yongzhou, left Longxi City and rushed to Jincheng County.
At the same time, Wang Junlin and Liu Gang set off from Wutou Town to Longxi City.
At noon, the weather is the hottest and the spirits of pedestrians are the most sluggish. In addition, just after leaving Longxi City, the official road is wide and there are few mountains and forests, so the vigilance of the thousand cavalry guarding Dugu Moyu subconsciously relaxed a little. . In the territory of Yongzhou, there were another thousand cavalry escorts, and no one dared to assassinate the governor of Yongzhou in broad daylight.
A small valley appeared in front of my eyes, with dense forests on both sides.
Dugu Moyu opened the curtain, looked at the valley, thinking that in a few days the governor Yu Juluo would arrive with an army of 100,000, and he would take over the army of Yongzhou according to the imperial court's order. What kind of attitude is in the interests of the Dugu family.
However, at this moment, a piercing sound suddenly came from the forest on the left.
Then, from above the low mountain, a huge crossbow arrow pierced through the air, and with the sound of howling wind and thunder, hit the wheel of the carriage where Dugu Moyu was.
The guard next to the carriage reacted quickly and bravely. He stood in front of the crossbow arrow, roared, and slashed at the crossbow arrow with the sword in his hand.
With a chirp, the sword broke, and the crossbow shot through the brave guard and hit the wheel of the carriage.
With a bang, the wheel was shattered by the crossbow arrow like a spear, and the remaining force even directly knocked the carriage over to the ground.
Dugu Moyu was just a literati, so he knocked his head on the shaft of the chariot unexpectedly and passed out. It's just that before he passed out, what he thought of was "Why did my Great Sui city defense crossbow appear here?"
Almost at the moment when the carriage was knocked down, countless terrifying and suffocating sounds of bows and arrows were heard in the mountains and forests on both sides of the valley, and more than one-third of the guard cavalry were shot off their horses on the spot.
Then, the sound of cavalry charging came from the short hills on both sides, and 3,000 elite Turkic cavalry charged towards more than 600 remnants of the Sui Dynasty.
This is a fight without suspense.
…
…
As the convoy continued to approach the Beidao Canyon, for some reason, Wang Junlin felt more and more uneasy.
From the two counties of Longxi and Jincheng to the west, the so-called canyons are the loess ditches cut out by the water flow. There are countless small ditches arranged like ribs on both sides of a large ditch, and there are fine ditches on both sides of the small ditch. . A good loess plateau has been washed away into thousands of hills and ravines, and in many places there is no grass growing. However, Longxi County and Tianshui County are relatively south, and there is much more rain than Jincheng County, so there are not a few trees on both sides of the North Road Canyon, densely clustered, extending from the north to the south.
"Bei Dao Canyon is not too long, only less than twenty miles away, and you can see Longxi City when you get out of this valley." Liu Gang turned his head and glanced at Wang Junlin, who was frowning all the time. With a vigilant and nervous look, he smiled and said.
Wang Junlin nodded but did not speak. He was still walking at the end of the queue on horseback, with his right hand holding the one-stone and a half hard bow purchased with a lot of money, and his left hand was ready to draw an arrow from the quiver at any time.
From time to time, he looked up at the ravines and dense forests on both sides of the valley, where people could hide.
"Brother Wang, don't be so nervous, no one here dares to rob our Sui army's food and grass!" Liu Gang said with a smile seeing Wang Junlin's nervous expression. Even the servants shook their heads secretly, thinking that Wang Junlin was tall and big, but he was too timid.
However, what happened next moment proved that Wang Junlin's worry was right, even worse than what Wang Junlin was worried about.
"There are thieves... ah!" It was one of the two soldiers in charge of opening the way in front who yelled, and then he was pierced by an arrow.
The next moment, a group of Qiang people with bows and arrows and long knives suddenly appeared in the forest on the side of the road ahead. These Qiang people moved extremely fast, rushed out of the forest in a few steps, jumped onto the official road, and rushed directly towards the convoy. They were elite fighters at a glance.
Amidst the screams of the militiamen, they were trembling with fear, and the expressions of the remaining sixteen soldiers led by Liu Gang changed drastically.
"There are more than two hundred people." Wang Junlin's face was extremely serious. He expected that Zhang Qingyu might kill him by finding someone pretending to be a small group of Tuyuhun people to hijack grain and grass, but he wanted to use the power of the Zhang family to kill him. And financial resources, the number of people will never exceed a hundred, but now there are more than two hundred people, and all of them are elites.
The development of the matter has far exceeded Wang Junlin's expectation.
Liu Gang and the other sixteen soldiers were hesitant because they were responsible for escorting food and grass. If they fled without a fight, they would be beheaded if they turned around. , he would never do such a stupid thing.
At the same time as the Qiang soldiers appeared, he turned the horse's head, clamped his legs, and slapped the horse's buttocks with the longbow, and the horse galloped towards the way it came.
However, what made Wang Junlin's face change was that a group of Qiang soldiers appeared at some point on the way they came. The number was not as large as the ones in front, but there were about fifty people. Fortunately, they had no horses. All infantry.
The line between life and death.
If you go out, you may have a chance, but if you stay here, you will only die.
