It's important to escape, so please be considerate.

--------------------------------

The wall of the market town is only to keep out horse thieves, but it is actually not particularly strong.

After Dong Zhao and the others arrived, they saw that the wall was really not strong, so they repaired it, and it was much better.

But even so, the small wall couldn't stop the attack of Qiang cavalry and Jincheng soldiers.

An hour later, the entire market town was engulfed in flames.Even the observation deck, the tallest building in the market town, was engulfed in flames.Don't get me wrong, the fire was not caused by Bei Gongyu's subordinates, but Bei Gongbo ignited it.

When Dong Zhao came over, he brought all the remaining pine oil from the camp.

Bei Gongbo already had the will to die, so before the start of the war, he ordered people to collect firewood, sprinkled all the huts and houses in the market town with pine oil, and piled up a mountain of firewood under the watchtower. Start a prairie fire.

A total of [-] strong men were buried in the sea of ​​fire.

It took Beigong Yujin an hour to capture a small market town, but he got nothing.

Bei Gongbo's desolate singing came from the watchtower, accompanied by the crackling of burning firewood, and reached everyone's ears.Although the Qiang riders were all accompanied by Bei Gongbo, they dismounted at this time with a solemn expression.

The captain candidate who came with Bei Gongyu was a little confused.

"My lord, what's the matter with them? What is that fellow singing?"

Bei Gongyu looked sad, "He was singing the song that he and his sister-in-law loved most back then. It was a song that my sister-in-law chose from the Yuefu, and it was changed into Qiang language... It was a story about a man and a woman. Many people loved it. Like to hear."

"It's just a piece of music, it's really nice."

"I don't know, but he and that woman like to sing, and many people like to listen to it." Bei Gongyu remembered a lot, looking at the raging flames, he suddenly remembered the past when he was a child and his brother galloped together.From the first time he swung a knife and shot an arrow for the first time, he still retained his elder brother's teachings.Later, he had a sister-in-law, who was also very kind to him... But as he got older, his ambition became bigger and bigger, and finally developed into today's result.

Brother, if you were as decisive as you are today, how dare I have delusional thoughts.

Bei Gongyu got off her horse and bowed three times to the burning watchtower.From then on, he was Beigong Boyu, and there were no more Beigongbo and Beigongyu in Po Qiang, only him, Beigong Boyu... the future king of Northwest Qiang.

"not good!"

After Beigong Boyu got on his horse, he suddenly screamed, "The son of the Dong family didn't show up from the beginning to the end, could it be..."

The candidate nodded, "The troll must have escaped."

"We can't let that kid go!" Beigong Boyu showed a look of fear on his face, "Letting that kid go is no less than letting a tiger go back to the mountain."

The candidate said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord has already sent people to block all the roads towards Lintao... Even if the troll has three heads and six arms, he will never escape the net laid by Mr. Wen Yue. You and I just need to rest assured. "

"No, I don't always feel at ease when I don't see his dead body with my own eyes."

After Beigong Boyu finished speaking, he immediately called for scouts to investigate.Although the candidate did not stop him, there was a sneer in his eyes.

With such a brain, you still want to be the king of Qiang?Hehe, if it is not useful for adults to keep you, then you are allowed to run rampant here.

After Dong Bi and his party left the market town, they galloped on horses.

The elephant dragon is worthy of the name of the Pegasus. It is as fast as lightning, and its endurance is very strong. It ran side by side with the lion's mane beast.

After running for a whole stick of incense, Dong Pi reined in the horse.

The lion-maned beast sprayed out mist, and kept neighing at the target dragon, as if it was very dissatisfied.

Dong Bi smiled and patted the lion's mane beast on the head, "A Chou, don't make trouble anymore, when you grow up, you will definitely beat it."

The elephant dragon under his crotch seemed to understand what Dong Bi said, and snorted to express his dissatisfaction.

That's right, when the lion's mane grows up, the elephant dragon will almost pass its peak.With the rise and fall of one another, there are some suspicions of unfairness.Dong Bi bent down, hugged Xianglong's neck and whispered in its ear, "But you are my good partner now."

The elephant dragon neighed, as if he was very satisfied with Dong Bi's attitude.

About another hour passed, and Dong Bi saw that everyone was exhausted.Looking at the sky, it was already noon, but the clouds were rolling, and it seemed that the sky would change at any time.He set up an awning and looked forward, but he could only see a vast expanse of white snow.

"Luyi, bring the map that brother-in-law gave you."

Lu Yi responded, galloped over, and took out a piece of cowhide from her bosom.There are many winding lines drawn on it. Dong Bi squinted his eyes for a while, put away the map and said, "Hurry up, everyone, there seems to be a mountain in front... Looking at the sky, there may be storms. We must Get to the col before the storm, shelter from the snow."

Just like that, everyone started running again.

It is very difficult for a horse to run in the snow.The ground is slippery, and horses often stumble, causing some horses to give up halfway.Fortunately, before departure, Bei Gongbo prepared two horses for each of them.So although a dozen horses were lost, it didn't cause any serious problems.Before noon, the col was found.

The blizzard finally arrived, and the whole world became blurred.

Dong Bi asked Dong Zhao to be responsible for arranging for everyone to rest and eat, but he climbed the hill accompanied by Lu Yi and Dong Tie.

Looking around, the plain in the storm has a cold and murderous atmosphere.

Dong Bi was expressionless and stood motionless on the hill.The black cloak on his body rattled even more in the wind.

"Young master, let's go down."

"No, I want to stay here alone for a while. Luyi, you and Dong Tie go down to eat something. When the storm is over, we still have to hurry."

"Young Master doesn't rest, and Luyi doesn't rest either."

In her hand, Luyi held the dragon head crutches given to her by the old lady, which looked a bit nondescript.But her tone was very firm, and Dong Bi tried to persuade her a few more times, but seeing the girl's stubbornness, he really couldn't persuade her to leave.

The wind and snow were getting bigger and bigger, and the little girl was shivering in the wind.

Dong Bi sighed helplessly, took off his cloak and put it on the little girl, "I've convinced you, let's go back."

Just when the two turned around, Dong Tie suddenly stopped and turned his head to look.

"Xiao Tie, what's the matter?"

While listening attentively, Dong Tie replied absent-mindedly, "Master, did you hear anything?"

"sound?"

Dong Bi shook his head and said, "I didn't hear anything!"

"It's the neighing of horses...the neighing of horses coming from that direction, and there seem to be quite a few of them."

Dong Bi listened intently, and really heard something unusual.It was the neighing sound of a horse, faintly visible, very weak.Coupled with the whistling of the wind, the neighing of the horse, which was originally unclear, was completely covered up.If it weren't for Dong Tie's good ears, Dong Bi really wouldn't care.However, with such a heavy snowstorm, who will hurry?
"Xiao Tie, take a few people over there to have a look!"

"As ordered!"

Dong Tie immediately ran down the hill, called a few people in the valley, and rushed towards the direction of the horse neighing.

They didn't ride horses, they went on foot.Footprints were left on the snow, but were quickly covered by the storm.

Dong Bi and Lu Yi hurried down the hill and gathered people to stand by.After about half a stick of incense, Dong Tie came back with his people.He also captured a prisoner who appeared to be a Qiang man, but he was different from the Qiang people Dong Bi had seen.

Dong Zhao's complexion changed, and he said in Dong Bi's ear, "My lord, from the look of her attire, it seems to be burning Qiang."

The Qiang people have a large number in the northwest, occupying most of Xiliang since the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there are countless tribes.

Not all Qiang people are nomadic, some people are farming, fishing and hunting, influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, and have a very close relationship with the Han people.Sixty percent of the Qiang people near Lintao belong to farming Qiang, also known as herbivorous Qiang.There are also some who live in the mountains, also called mountain Qiang.In short, the life forms are different, and Dong Bi can't remember them all.

What is the origin of burning Qiang?
"My lord, the Shaodang Qiang is located between Ering Lake and Jishi Mountain. It is a semi-nomadic Qiang. Due to the complex terrain of the Shaodang Qiang territory, there are many hills and mountains, so at least many people are engaged in farming, fishing and hunting, and their strength is very strong. "

"How big is it?"

A Poqiang man said: "There are more people than us, but if we want to fight, it won't matter."

"Have you ever fought?"

The Poqiang people said: "Shaodang Qiang is only separated from us by a river, and we have fought many battles for the grassland. But sometimes they win, and sometimes we win. Since the king took charge of Poqiang, we have never lost to them. They even reached Ering Lake once...if it wasn't for their large numbers of people and the complicated terrain, they might have been wiped out."

Dong Bi listened and looked at the burning man.

Eling Lake, Jishi Mountain?But strictly speaking, this place should be the territory of Po Qiang. How did Shaodangren come here?
"Dong Zhao, ask him clearly why they are who they are and why they appear here."

As he spoke, he took out the cowhide map, and after looking it up for a while, he suddenly stomped his feet angrily, "There is no Jishi Mountain here."

"Young master, take a look at this one!"

Luyi quickly took out another map from her pocket, which was obviously several times larger than the one just now, and it was made of complete cowhide.Moreover, the graphics on the map are tanned using a very special technique, so they will not fade.

Dong Bi asked strangely, "Where did this come from?"

"Young Master, have you forgotten? This is something brought by the Elder Master. It is the map of the Northwest Region drawn by General Ma back then."

General Ma?Dong Chuan didn't react for a while.

Luyi blew like blue in his ear, "It's General Fubo."

"what……"

Dong Bi suddenly realized.When he left Lintao, the old lady said that Cheng Fang had already gone home and handed over everything to Luyi.There must be no way to carry such a large box of bamboo slips.But the map of the Northwest Region that Ma Yuan left behind was carried by this little girl with her.I don't know what she was thinking about, but it was very useful.

"Lu Yi, good job!"

Dong Bi applauded loudly, spread out the map completely, and searched carefully with his fingers.

Naturally, Lu Yi couldn't help being overjoyed to be praised by Dong Pi.The little face was flushed, and I didn't know whether it was cold or excited.

"here!"

Dong Bi pointed to a point on the map, "We are now at this location, to be precise, in the territory of Poqiang. There is only one way for Shaodangqiang to come from Jishi Mountain, and it must pass through the territory of Poqiang... strangeness."

Indeed, a very strange thing!

The grievance between Shaodang Qiang and Po Qiang is very deep, and after so many years of fighting, it must not be resolved.

At this time, Dong Zhao also asked for a confession, and came to Dong Bi with a flustered expression, and said in a low voice, "My lord, I have asked clearly."

"Tell me slowly, what's going on?"

Dong Zhao calmed down his emotions and replied: "That guy is indeed a burnt person, and he is also a senior. He said that they have a total of 500 people, stationed on the riverbed slope in front, and are mainly responsible for delivering grain and grass to the direction of the Dayang River. "

"Send food and grass?"

Dong Bi looked down at the map, "Where is the Dayang River?"

Dong Zhao immediately searched on the map, and drew a circle on a black dot after a while, "It's right here... Hey, this is the only way we must pass to Baima Qiang. The guy also said that it will take two days The food and grass will be delivered within a few days."

"How much food and grass are there?"

Dong Zhao said: "According to that guy's account, it can feed at least 1 people for three days."

1 horses?
Dong Bi gasped, and looked up at Dong Zhao in horror.Luyi and Dong Tie, including the two hundred generals who broke the Qiang, all showed expressions of horror. 1 people, 1 people are stationed in the Ocean Valley, how do we get there?

"Where is beyond the Ocean River?"

"That's the Hehuang area, the territory of the Baima Qiang." The Po Qiang replied: "Across the valley, the Baima Qiang has three villages there, which are their eyesight and their first line of defense. Two years ago, I I went to Baima Qiang once with the king, and the people there are not too many, the three villages add up, and there are only about three to four thousand people, including women and children."

Dong Bi's first thought was: Shao Dangren wants to beat Baima Qiang!

It's normal to think about it, the king of Baima Qiang and Bei Gongbo are sworn brothers to Jinlan, if they know that Bei Gongbo was killed, is there any reason to ignore it?Dong Bi walked along the black line of the map with his finger, entered Baimaqiang, and then continued to walk there.

After leaving Baima Qiang, there are Wudu, Guanghan vassal state, and Hanyang County.

Dong Bi frowned, and said badly: These people are not just plotting against Xiliang.Eliminating the Baima Qiang people, and then taking control of the Hehuang area, occupying Wudu and other places, is equivalent to opening a door in Hanzhong.Burning when people want to rebel?

Shaodang, Po Qiang, Lang Qiang...

Dong Bi was a little confused, this is a typical Northwest chaos!

Didn't the storytelling say that the Northwest Rebellion seemed to be in the same year as the Yellow Turban Rebellion.Could it be that the Yellow Turban Rebellion will break out this year?
All the clues converged on one person.

Han Sui, such a generous layout, I am afraid that only Han Sui, a famous scholar from Xiliang, can do it.

"My lord, what should we do?"

Lu Yi lost her sense of proportion.Although the little girl has learned a lot, she is still very nervous in the face of such a situation.

She said: "Since Shaodang Qiang can pass through here unimpeded, it is obviously related to Po Qiang. We are going to Baima Qiang. They just blocked our way? Besides, even if we pass, we will still face danger. .”

Several pairs of eyes were fixed on Dong Bi, and at this moment, Dong Bi became their backbone.

After pondering for a while, Dong Bi gritted his teeth and said, "We're not going to Baimaqiang."

"Don't go to Baimaqiang? Then where are we going? The Taoshui line to Lintao must be blocked by those people."

"We will not return to Lintao either."

Dong Bi drew a circle on the map with his hand, clenched his fist and slammed it hard, "Let's go here."

"Jishi Mountain?"

Dong Zhao and the others exclaimed in unison, "My lord, this is the site of Shao Dangren."

"We're going because of Shaodangren's territory here. Han Sui certainly wouldn't have thought that we would go this way... You said just now that Shaodang and Poqiang have deep grievances, and we can temporarily join forces. There must be Han Sui's role in it. We simply stir up the hatred between Shaodang and Po Qiang and let them fight again. Once the two sides fight, the pressure on Baima Qiang will decrease... We just need to bypass Jishi Mountain , is where the White Horse Qiang is.”

"This……"

The hundred people who broke the Qiang would hesitate a little.

Although Beigong Boyu betrayed them, they were still Po Qiang people.

If there was a fight, wouldn't the Poqiang people be bleeding?It's really difficult.

Dong Bi sneered, "If you have a better way, then say it. If you don't, if you want to survive, just do as I said. There is a saying in the art of war, surprise, and surprise... But before that, I also want to teach Han Sui a little lesson."
