Chapter 353 Origin of the Qiang Nationality

Gradually, this massacre came to an end. Almost no refugees could escape. They were blocked by Yunfeng's cavalry to the west, and the river was to the south. They could only flee to the northeast, but no matter how much they ran with two legs, they could not escape.

Can't run on four legs.

Not long after, the Qiang army returned one after another and divided some of them to organize the camp. Liu Xia's camp just gave them an advantage, and a small group of them tidied up the battlefield. They have now developed a good habit of plucking the geese's hair, but the refugees

Most of them are relatively poor, and the status of Han soldiers is far inferior to that of Hu soldiers. Few of them wear gold and silver jewelry, and they only take off some armor and clothes.

Some people even opened the mouths of the dead bodies to check the teeth. This made Yunfeng secretly laugh. Han people did not have the habit of knocking out good teeth and replacing them with gold. Sure enough, all the Qiang soldiers who checked the mouths gradually showed disappointment.

After that, the job of carrying the corpses was handed over to the soldiers of Jingzhou.

The people had been promised that they would be given food after the war and returned to their hometowns, but their enthusiasm increased greatly. They piled the corpses into large trucks and gathered them together to transport them to the river. This was the advantage of fighting on the river.

If you throw it away, it will be washed into the sea by the current in less than two days, saving you the time of digging.

Seeing that they had been cleared up, Yunfeng asked Yao Yisheng to recruit some Qiang troops, and he and his guards gathered 8,000 people to line up, and then waved: "Let's go into the city!" So the large group of cavalry

They entered the Dongli Gate in neat formation and headed west.

At this time, the city head of Xuanyang Gate in the south of the palace city was already full of people. Sima Shao, Xi Jian, Bian Yi, Wen Qiao, Yu Liang and others as well as other dignitaries and clan kings gathered here.

Se looked solemnly at the cavalry of nearly ten thousand people that was slowly approaching.

A cross-shaped wooden frame was raised high in front of the cavalry. Liu Xia's limbs were penetrated by a thick spear tip and were nailed to it. Wen Qiao and others with good eyesight could clearly see that Liu Xia's breathing was thin.

And in a hurry, his legs were curled up as much as possible, as if an invisible weight was squeezing his chest.

This is because the back of the death row prisoner who was nailed to the cross is close to the cross, which does not allow the lungs to have enough room to expand and inhale fresh air. Therefore, when breathing, he needs to rely on his legs to support his body and move his back slightly away from the middle and rear of the cross to gain support.

Taking up some space in the lungs, until the strength is exhausted and it can no longer support the body, and finally lacks oxygen.

Death by suffocation! It can be said that crucifixion is a very cruel and slow method of executing criminals. Although Liu Xia had no hope of surviving, the lack of oxygen in his body prompted him to instinctively curl up his legs slightly to take in air, as

There are many people who commit suicide every day, but no one ever suffocates himself to death by actively holding his breath for the same reason.

In the middle and rear of the cavalry, you can see the Frontier Rangers. These people's uniforms and armors are patchy, most of them have disheveled hair and braided hair, and they hold a variety of weapons. According to personal preference, they are spears, knives, maces, etc.

They are different, but they have one common characteristic, that is, they have a rough face, a fierce expression, and a fierce light in their eyes. They are obviously different from the guards of Yunfeng. The guards basically have no expression on their faces and do not squint, showing that they have good military discipline.

constraint.

This made the people who came after hearing the news a little scared, and they all stayed far away and did not dare to get too close. Some people were actually triggered by bad memories in their hearts. There was no way, a considerable number of people in Jiankang moved from the north.

, the pain caused by Hu Qi’s rampage in the Central Plains is still vivid in my mind.

Xi Jian couldn't help but said: "General Yun infiltrated 5,000 cavalry the first time and that's all. But the second time he infiltrated 10,000 cavalry and entered the capital. What happened to King Qiao? How come he keeps making the same mistake? Isn't he too old and weak?"

Have you dealt with political matters?"

As soon as these words came out, all the kings of the clan and Sima Shao looked displeased. Sima Shao snorted coldly: "Shang Ling's words are serious. Xiangzhou has a vast territory and sparsely populated areas. Many areas are barbaric and wild, and the Miao and Miao savages are scattered among them."

Throughout the territory, the imperial court had jurisdiction over only a limited number of counties. King Qiao attacked Xiangzhou

In just two or three years, with only ten thousand troops in hand, how could we prevent that man from sneaking in the cavalry from the west? However, what Shang Ling said was not unreasonable. The emptiness in the hinterland of the imperial court would eventually lead to a big trouble! And that man

He actually colluded with Hu Qi to enter the capital. He is really committing the most outrageous crime in the world!"

Everyone knew that Sima Shao was telling the truth, and Sima Cheng could not prevent Yunfeng's cavalry from sneaking across. It could be said that Jiankang's back garden was completely exposed to this man's iron hoof, and they couldn't help but feel even more worried.

"Stop!" A shout from the top of the city brought everyone back to reality. They saw the cavalry reining in their formation five hundred steps below the city. Yunfeng led several people to slowly move out, and there were others who were nailed

Liu Xia on the wooden frame.

Bian Yi shouted loudly: "General Yun, you finally have to issue an order from the court to secretly bring foreign troops to Beijing. What do you mean? Is it possible that you are plotting rebellion?"

Yun Feng cupped his hands and said, "Bian Shang's words will not be tolerated by General Mo. If General Mo doesn't bring more men, won't he be dead?" He pointed at Liu Xia and said, "Liu Xia sent troops to besiege Mo because he vented his personal anger.

General, why didn't the court stop him, and now he blames the last general? What's the point of this?"

Sima Shao took it and said at the top of his lungs: "Huh! Sweet words! Let me ask you, the soldiers and people of our court have been harmed by Hu Qi, but you colluded with Hu Qi to enter the capital. Are you not afraid of arousing public outrage?" Sima Shao's voice almost screamed out.

Yes, people in Jiangdong hate the Hu people deeply. He wants the people to see Yunfeng's true face and ruin Yunfeng's reputation.

Yunfeng smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to recommend someone to you." He turned to Yao Yisheng and said: "This is General Yao Yisheng, the eldest son of the Qiang chieftain Yao Gezhong in Nan'an County, Qinzhou. He is not the Huns who want to bring trouble to the Central Plains.

, Jie et al. Hu tribe."

Yao Yisheng saluted and said: "My lord, Yao Yisheng, comes to see your Majesty!" Although he was saluting, like Yunfeng, he was still riding a horse.

Sima Shao was secretly annoyed and snorted heavily.

Yunfeng turned a blind eye and continued to explain in a louder voice than Sima Shao. He also wanted to tell the people, which made them feel frightened: "Your Majesty is familiar with the scriptures and must have a good understanding of the history of the Qiang people.

The family has a long history. "Historical Records of the Five Emperors" says: "The Sanmiao were moved to Sanwei to transform the Xirong." Jinyu Guoyu also said: "In the past, Shaodian married the Chongqiao family and gave birth to the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor. The Yellow Emperor named him

Ji Shuicheng, Yan

The emperor was made from ginger water. The virtues vary depending on the character, so the Yellow Emperor is Ji and the Yan Emperor is Jiang. The two emperors belong to the ancient Qiang tribe. In addition, "Historical Records" records: Yu is the great-great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor and the grandson of Emperor Zhuanxu, who also came from the ancient Qiang tribe.

Tribe, King Yu made great achievements in controlling floods and benefited the world. His son established the name of the country Xia. He was the first person to found the country of China and set an example for hundreds of generations. It can be seen that the Qiang people are fundamentally different from the Xiongnu, Jie and other barbaric Hu people."

Sima Shao was speechless for a moment. He had also read these books. The origins of the Qiang people cited by Yunfeng were not inappropriate. However, he always felt that Yunfeng was far-fetched. There was no ethnic group in ancient times.

It’s just tribes and clans. It’s true that the Yellow Emperor and others were born in the ancient Qiang, but it’s a bit of an exaggeration to say that they are the ancestors of the current Qiang people. (To be continued...)
