Ma Yunjiao groaned: "Bah, return the foreign girl, no wonder you always think about sending people to the Great Qin Empire and honestly explain whether you are thinking about the foreign girl in Rome,"
Hearing the words "Great Qin Empire", Liu Xin couldn't help but think of the black whirlwind. A strange color flashed in his eyes. Although it was only a flash, he could not escape Ma Yun's vicious eyes. Ma Yun snorted coldly: "Sure enough has a problem,"
Liu Xin hurriedly explained: "Where is the problem? I think of those Da Qin weapons brought back from the Western Regions. That is a formidable opponent."
Ma Yun was skeptical and stunned for a moment, and said, "Da Qin is not far away from here. At most, he can get a few caravans to communicate with each other. They can't come here no matter how strong they are. What's to worry about?"
Liu Xin said without hesitation: “I’m afraid it’s not that simple. If the caravan of a big man is bullied there, we will take care of it. If we take care of it, we will inevitably go to war. In short, I will not let foreigners bully us Han. ,"
Ma Yun nodded and said: "Yes, I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, everything is better to prepare early, since the Great Qin Empire was able to send envoys to Luoyang many years ago, I really want to guard against them, what do you have? intend,"
Liu Xin shook his head and said: "I haven't thought about it yet. However, I have ordered the Academy to analyze the Daqin weapons and see what materials they are made of. It is estimated that the results should come out in the next few days. I will talk about it at that time. Right, by the way, you haven't told me yet, what fun is Zhu Rong running there to join in,"
Ma Yun laughed and said, "If I didn't guess wrong, she must have chosen a female guard."
The female guards were organized by Liu Xin. At first there were twelve Qiang girls. Their leader was Lan Ni'er, a Hun woman. After returning to Xiangyang, the prefecture and animal husbandry were under the strict protection of the flying tiger guards, so you don’t have to worry about it anymore. There will be any danger, these female guards will also be "laid off". Liu Xin has almost forgotten about this, but Zhu Rong has heard of it for some reason.
Zhu Rongna was a true female hero and heroine. Hearing that there was such a "women's army", he immediately became energetic and quickly begged Ma Yun to quietly get the twelve female guards into the house. Go off the court personally and organize them to drill,
In fact, Liu Xin knew a little about these things. However, as long as his women had fun, Liu Xin would not be too much trouble. However, Zhu Rong didn’t expect that Zhu Rong would not be very pleased with the twelve female guards. She missed the whole thousand. When the army came out, he also became a general in seriousness.
But really wanting to expand the team of female guards is not an easy task. Most Han women are weak and can't even swing a spear, let alone kill the enemy. Zhu Rong was afraid of Liu Xin to blame, so he only dared to tell Ma Yun, but didn't dare. To Liu Xin, it is obviously unrealistic to choose female guards on a large scale. It happened that Cai He sent a group of alien girls today. These alien girls are not only beautiful, but also tall and tall. Zhu Rong can’t wait to choose a few of them. A suitable person came out,
Liu Xin figured out the whole story, chuckled, and said, "Actually, I still have a good idea. The war in Xuzhou last year left many orphans behind. The orphanage is now overcrowded. It's better to let Zhu Rong go there and choose the right girl. Trained from an early age, the female guards formed in this way must be more loyal."
Ma Yun suddenly realized, and said repeatedly: "Yes, I didn't expect that the weakness of the Han daughters is mostly caused by the living environment. The girls in our family are forced to practice the exercises every day. Which one is not a livelihood? I think this way is OK. "
With Liu Xin’s approval, Zhu Rong’s formation of female guards can be carried out publicly. However, it is good to choose the right girl to train from an early age, but it can’t quench her near thirst. Liu Xin still allows her to learn from Man, Qiang, Xiongnu and Select a group of young girls from the Husbands of the Western Regions and temporarily set up a team of two hundred female guards. After the little girls have been trained for several years, they will be replaced gradually.
Time flies quickly, and it’s the tenth day of October in a blink of an eye. The northern grasslands have already fallen a second snow. Although these two snows are not heavy, for the herders, it is very likely to affect them for a year. Livelihood, however, this year’s situation is different from previous years. The two new cities built by the Han people on the grassland played a role.
The herdsmen of the Five Huns moved into the outer city of the new city early. Although there were only simple earthen walls, it was already a great improvement for the Huns who could only rely on tents to cover the wind and snow. Not only that, the Han Chinese The soldiers had accumulated a large amount of forage in the outer city early, enough for them to survive the entire cold winter. Of course, the Huns themselves were not unprepared. Even the most difficult people had to prepare a lot of forage. They were most afraid of it. It’s just a white disaster. Now that there are these two new cities, the white disaster doesn’t look so terrible anymore.
At night, as long as the weather is good, the Xiongnu herders will sing and dance in the outer wall of the outer city, and graze horses and sheep on the grasslands for many years. Even the herdsmen of the same tribe will be far apart. Only then, they will When there is a chance to gather together, young men and women also use this opportunity to talk about love,
However, this year’s grassland party has a lot of new faces. They are young Han soldiers stationed in the inner city of the new city. Now, one of the two new cities is personally in charge of Zhao Yun, and the other is given to Xinke champion Ma Chao, both of them are both old. It’s not too big, and it’s very harmonious with the young soldiers under him. They understand the needs of these soldiers better than anyone else. After a little discussion, the two of them agreed that the soldiers who were not on duty could go to the outer city and join the Huns herdsmen. carnival,
These Han soldiers are cavalry soldiers. Their life in the grassland for more than a year has allowed them to develop the same unrestrained and rugged character as the Huns herders. They are more proficient in riding and shooting than the Xiongnu men, more sturdy and powerful, and soon won the Huns. The girls were full of eager gazes. The Xiongnu women were much more open than the Han daughters. As long as they fell in love with the right lover, they just found a dark corner and started humming and doing that. Many young Han soldiers did it. In this new city, I "paid" myself for the first time. In the end, no one knows whether the two sides can get together, but in this way, the restless heart of these young soldiers far away from home quieted down. , The two new cities finally took advantage of this winter to establish their foundation on the grassland,
The grassland needs to be put on a leather jacket and when the quilt is wrapped, the South has just changed into a single coat. Liu Xin’s four-way army finally made an all-out attack on this day.
The first road was led by Zhang Fei and Yan Yan. Their targets were the three counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Nichinan, which will be the northern and eastern regions of Vietnam in later generations. However, the Han Dynasty did belong to China’s territory.
When Liu Hong was in power, Jiaozhi had not listened to the imperial call. Later, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out. In addition to Liu Hong's death, the prefect of Jiaozhi Shixie had the dream of the earth emperor and wanted to stand on his own from the Han Dynasty. The trade roads to Yizhou were all cut off, and caravans were forbidden.
The reason why Shi Xie dared to be so confident was that apart from the emperor Tian Gao, Lie Duo relied on the dense mountain forest at the junction of Jiaozhi and Yizhou, which almost became a natural barrier between Jiaozhi and Yizhou, and Han soldiers attacked. There is no problem in defending the city, but it is much more difficult to pass through this mountain forest.
However, Shi Xie miscalculated this time. The Han army led the 7th army from the 7th Army. This was an expert in mountain warfare. Liu Xin was dividing the 7th Army into the four-way army. Use their expertise to avoid encountering enemy ambushes in the jungle,
But Liu Xin was too careful this time. Shi Xie blocked the connection between him and Yizhou. He didn't know anything about the movement of the Han army. He didn't even think that the Han army would dare to cross the jungle, so he There are no ambushes and traps in the jungle at all, and even a patrolling horse is not set up.
The soldiers of the 7th Legion carefully split the thorns. After a day and night of fighting, they just used a machete and their hands to open a path in the jungle. When the group of Han troops passed through this dense forest without danger, they came to the plains. At the time, just in the middle of the night, Zhang Fei and Yan Yan discussed briefly and decided to attack Wanghai City overnight.
The terrain of Jiaozhi County is mountainous to the north and plain to the south. Almost all the cities surround the city of Longbian in Cozhi County, forming a strong line of defense around the city. However, this layout also has a fatal weakness. That is, as long as a city is breached, Longbian will be directly exposed to the enemy's attack, and Wanghai City is the barrier to the northwest of Longbian.
Wanghai City is not high, and a long ladder can be used to get to the top of the city. For the Han army who has been rigorous for a long time, there is no difficulty. With the experience of studying in the advanced training class, Zhang Fei and Yan Yan are calm. A lot, the two commanded side by side at the back, instead of rushing to the forefront as in the past,
The defenders in the city were unaware of the coming danger. Even the soldiers on duty at night sank into their dreamland with their spears. The soldiers of the Han army climbed up to the top of the city silently and wiped out the city in three or two strokes. The defending army on the head squeaked, the city gate opened wide, and the Han army swarmed in. Wanghai then changed the masters. At this time, Shi Xie was holding two petite servants in the Dragon Fortress dozens of miles away. The concubine was asleep but not awake
After entering the city, the Han army did not take too much rest and reorganization. Instead, they immediately set off and went straight to the dragon team. Zhang Feishan attacked, Yan Yanshan defended, and the two people worked together for many years, and Yan Yan stayed in Wanghai to consolidate the city’s defenses. For the advancing base, the task of attacking the Dragon Fortress was naturally undertaken by Zhang Fei himself.
The people of Jiaozhi are both Han and local aboriginals. The folk customs have always been sturdy. Shi Xie has been in the dragon for many years. He is used to being arrogant and domineering. When Shixie in the middle learned that Longbian City was surrounded by people, his first thought was not to guard the city, but to go out of the city to fight the enemy. When the city gate opened, Shixie leaped on his horse and shouted loudly. He shouted: "Who is a thief, dare to offend me, who will fight a certain decisive battle,"
