Chapter 353 Origin of the Qiang Nationality

Gradually, the massacre was approaching the end, and the refugees almost never escaped. They were blocked by Yunfeng's cavalry in the west, and to the south was a river. They could only escape northeast, but no matter how hard they ran, they could not run four legs.

Not long after, the Qiang army returned to the team and divided some to organize the camps. Liu Xia's camp just cheapened them, and a small part of them cleaned up the battlefield. They now have developed the good habit of wiping away the geese. However, most of the refugees are poor, and the status of the Han army soldiers is far inferior to that of the Hu soldiers. Few people wear gold and silver jewelry, and they only stripped off some armor and clothes.

Some people even opened the mouths of dead bodies to check their teeth, which made Yunfeng secretly funny. The Han people did not have the habit of knocking down good teeth and putting them in gold teeth. Sure enough, all the Qiang soldiers who checked their mouths gradually showed disappointment. The work of transporting the corpses was handed over to the surrendered soldiers in Jingzhou. These people had been promised to send food to their hometowns after the war, but they also actively increased their bodies and piled up large trucks and transported them to the riverside. This is the benefit of fighting on the riverside. If you throw them into the river, you will be washed into the sea by the water flow in less than two days, saving the time to dig.

Seeing that he had already been packed, Yunfeng asked Yao Yisheng to recruit some Qiang troops, gathered 8,000 people with his personal guards, and then waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go into the city!" So, the brigade of cavalry lined up in an orderly formation and went westward after entering the Dongli Gate.

At this time, the city of Xuanyang Gate in the south of the palace city was already full of people. Sima Shao, Xi Jian, Bian County, Wen Qiao, Yu Liang and other powerful people and royal kings gathered here. He looked at the nearly 10,000 cavalry team slowly approaching.

The cavalry team raised a cross-shaped wooden frame in front of him. Liu Xia's limbs were pierced through a thick spear and was nailed to it. For example, Wen Qiao and others had good eyesight, they could clearly see that Liu Xia's breathing was thin and rapid, and his legs were curled up as much as possible, as if an invisible heavy object was squeezing his chest.

This is because the death row prisoner nailed on the cross is close to the cross, and cannot have sufficient room for expansion in the lungs to inhale fresh air. Therefore, when breathing, you need to rely on your legs to support your whole body, so that your back slightly leaves the middle and back of the cross to obtain some space to support your lungs, until your strength is exhausted, and you will be unable to support your body, and eventually you will be suffocated and die of hypoxia! It can be said that nailing the cross is a very cruel and slow way to execute criminals. Although Liu Xia does not have hope of survival, his body's lack of oxygen prompts him to instinctively curl up his legs slightly to inhale inhalation of air. Just as there are many people who commit suicide every day, no one has ever suffocated himself to death by actively holding his breath.

At the middle and back of the cavalry, there are frontier rangers. These people are not dressed in uniform armor, most of them are braided, and their weapons are also relatively complicated. They are spears, swords, maces, etc. according to their personal preferences, but they have one common feature, that is, their faces are rough, their expressions are fierce, and their eyes are fierce, which is obviously different from the personal guards of Yunfeng. The personal guards are basically expressionless and do not look squint, showing good military discipline constraints.

This made the people who followed him a little scared, and they were all distantly disguised as they did not dare to get too close. Some others were triggered by the unpleasant memories in their hearts. There was no way, a considerable number of people from Jiankang moved from the north, and the pain caused by the Huqi raging to the Central Plains was still vivid in my mind.

Xi Jian couldn't help but say, "It would be fine for General Yun to sneak in five thousand cavalry for the first time, but the second time he sneaked into Beijing, what's going on with King Qiao? Why do you always make the same mistake? Isn't it that old age is unable to handle political affairs?"

As soon as these words were said, the royal kings and Sima Shao were both displeased. Sima Shao snorted coldly: "Shang Ling's words are heavy. Xiangzhou is vast and sparsely populated. Many areas are wilderness. The Liliao Miao Man is distributed in various places. The court has only a limited number of counties under the jurisdiction of the court. King Qiao has only been in charge of Xiangzhou for two or three years, and the troops in his hands are only tens of thousands. How can he prevent that man from lurking the cavalry from the west? But what Shang Ling said is not unreasonable. The emptiness of the court's hinterland will eventually lead to a great disaster! And that man colluded with the Hu cavalry to enter the capital. It is really a big deal to violate the world!"

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

"Stop!" A call from the top of the city brought everyone back to reality. The cavalry team stopped the formation at 500 steps below the city. Yunfeng and several people slowly stepped out, and there was Liu Xia who was nailed to a wooden frame.

Bian County shouted: "General Yun, you finally got the court order to privately recruit foreign troops into the capital. What is the intention? Could it be that the rebellion cannot be achieved?"

Yun Feng bowed: "Bian Shang can't bear this statement. If the last general doesn't bring more people, wouldn't he be dead?" As he said that, he pointed at Liu Xia: "Liu Xia sent troops to siege the last general out of his personal anger, why didn't he see the court stop him? Now he blamed the last general. What's the reason?"

Sima Shao took it and said at the top of his voice: "Hmph! Sweet words! I ask you, all the soldiers and people in my court have been harmed by Hu cavalry, but you colluded with Hu soldiers to enter the capital. Are you not afraid of arousing public anger?" Sima Shao's voice almost screamed. The people in Jiangdong hated all the Hu tribes. He wanted the people to see Yunfeng's true face and also made Yunfeng's reputation bad.

Yun Feng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I will recommend someone to you." He turned to Yao Yisheng and said, "This is General Yao Yisheng, the eldest son of the Qiang tribe Yao Gezhong, the chief general of the Qiang tribe in Nan'an County, Qinzhou. He is not the Huns, Jie and other Hu tribes who are in trouble with the Central Plains."

Yao Yisheng said with politeness: "I Yao Yisheng, please see Your Majesty!" Although he was politeness, he was still riding on the horse like Yunfeng.

Sima Shao was secretly annoyed and snorted heavily.

Yunfeng turned a blind eye and continued to explain. His voice was louder than Sima Shao, and he also wanted to tell the people to listen to them, which made them fear in their hearts: "Your Majesty read the scriptures well, and I believe he is quite familiar with the history of the Qiang tribe. The Qiang tribe has a long history. "Records of the Grand Historian" says: "The Three Miaos are moved to the Three Breaking Tribes to change the Western Rong. "The Mandarin of Jin Yu" also says: "In the past, Shaodian married the Chong Qiao clan and gave birth to Huangdi and Yandi. Huangdi was formed with Jishui, and Yandi was formed with Jiangshui. The success and different virtues were made, so Huangdi was the Ji, Yandi was Jiang, and the two emperors belonged to the ancient Qiang tribe. In addition, the Records of the Grand Historian records that Yu was the great-grandson of Huangdi and the grandson of Emperor Zhuanxu. They also came from the ancient Qiang tribe. King Dayu governed the water and benefited the world. His son Qi established the country's name, Xia, and was the first person in the founding of China, and was a role model for a hundred generations. It can be seen that the Qiang tribe is essentially different from the barbarian Hu tribes such as the Xiongnu and Jie."

Sima Shao was speechless for a moment. He had read these books. There was nothing wrong with the origin of the Qiang tribe quoted by Yunfeng. However, he always felt that Yunfeng was suspected of being far-fetched. There were no ethnic groups in ancient times, but only tribes and clans. It was true that Huangdi and others were born in ancient Qiang, but it was a bit exaggerated to say that they were the ancestors of the Qiang tribe today. (To be continued...)
