Chapter 1468 The care in my heart for thousands of years


    What you are afraid of is what you have.


    When the white bird saw the smoke rising in the distance, he knew that what he was worried about had happened.


    Only the cavalry can be tyrannical and fierce in the Hexi Corridor. Although Bai Que and others are also cavalry, compared with these cavalry who have basically lived on horseback all their lives, there is still some gap in riding skills. This gap, the more tired it is, the more obvious it becomes.


    "Quick! Quick!" Bai Que shouted, "It''s impossible for a horse thief to escape too far from his lair! Rush over! Rush over!"


    These days, the White Sparrow led the big and small leaders of Montenegro who should have been beheaded all the way to the west, and now they are going to return again. It''s almost half the time, if it wasn''t for Bai Que, who is fair and has a good personality, I''m afraid he would have left his heart, lost his ambition, and become a bandit and refugee in a foreign land...


    Now being chased by horse thieves, everyone naturally obeyed the instructions of the white bird, squeezing the limit of the horses, trying to escape before the horse thieves chased and intercepted them.


    Bai Que looked back frequently, and when he saw Huang Ergou who was behind and several other people, his eyes were full of pain. These few people may have fallen behind because of the horses, or because of people, and these people who are left behind must be the most dangerous. If they cannot escape as soon as possible, they are almost equivalent to died.


    Although Marcus is a man of color, he is surprisingly proficient in riding skills. He is almost half a horse away from the white bird. When he saw the white bird turn around, he shouted: "Wesson? Run? Are you sure there are four horse thieves?"


    "Idiot!" The white bird didn''t bother to pay attention to it, nor was it in the mood to explain. Marcus followed if he wanted to, and didn''t stop the white bird if he didn''t want to.


    In the Hexi Corridor, and even in the countries of the Western Regions, there is an unwritten cognition, but any troops that do not display their banners are either bandits or horse thieves!


    Have any horse thieves used this rule to cheat?


    Since those two idiots who didn''t understand the rules were wiped out by many surrounding countries and tribes, and the leader was skinned alive and died under the scorching sun, no one dared to challenge such rules.


    Even in a chaotic environment, people still have a hierarchy, and once there is a hierarchy, there must be order. In a completely chaotic and evil area, even demons can''t look down on them.


    "Quick!" Bai Que pointed to the mountain pass in front of him and encouraged him loudly, "Cross the mountain pass! Hurry up and cross the mountain pass!" keep up. Everyone knows that only by keeping up with the brigade and forming an array can it be possible to survive the pursuit of horse thieves. Once they are alone, they are basically not far from death.


    Alive, go back!


    At this moment, even Marcus, who talks the most on weekdays, was quiet. Everyone was trying their best to hurry, and the only sound that could be heard was the tense and rapid breathing of the staff amidst the sound of horseshoes.


    The horse thief roared loudly, and came from the flanks, trying to intercept Baique and others before the mountain pass. The distance between the two sides was getting closer...


    This group of horse thieves seemed to have served in the army before, and their march was not completely chaotic. They seemed to be vaguely divided into the front team and the rear team, and at the same time maintained a charging momentum, which was chaotic like ordinary horse thieves. There is an essential difference.


    The more Bai Que looked at it, the more frightened he felt. He knew that there was still a certain gap between his own riding skills and his horse thief on horseback, but at the same time , I couldn''t help but have some doubts in my heart, where did these horse thieves come from?


    ………………


    Longxi, a group of army horses, is slowly marching westward.


    It was Xu Huang who was walking in the forefront. He led a thousand soldiers and horses to support Bai Que and others who had returned. Xu Huang has also stayed in Longyou for quite a long time, and his riding skills are also taught by Jiang Jiong and others, which is much better than when he was in Bingzhou. He can officially become a cavalry general instead of a The stepper of the horse.


    In order to reduce the burden on the war horse, Xu Huang had to change the model of the battle axe to reduce the weight. Fortunately, there are a lot of good steel in Huang''s workshop. While reducing the thickness of the axe, it can still maintain a very large Hardness and strength are what made Xu Huang reluctantly accept such a change.


    Xu Huang originally thought that there were still many tough battles to be fought in Longyou, but he did not expect that the battle situation would be unpredictable. After Han Sui surrendered, many tribes around Jincheng and the local Haoyou also gave up their confrontation one after another. Soon to be judged...


    Think about it, the reason why these Haoyou and Qiang tribes like to rebel and plunder in the past is that the officials who ruled Xiliang in the Han Dynasty did not care about the lives of the people, and the second is that it is more beneficial to see the looting and rebellion. Rebellion, now the rebellion obviously has no good fruit to eat, and the taxation or trading system designated by General Fei Qian of Zhengxi makes these Haoyou and Qiang tribes feel a little fair, so naturally no one wants to continue The rebellion goes on.


    There was no rebellion, Xu Huang, Jiang Jiong and others naturally had no opponents, and they were idle all day long. When the order from General Zhengxi came to pick up Bai Que and others, three or four people fought for a while. He won by a slight advantage and became the leading general this time.


    Longyou is empty and sparsely populated. Sometimes you may not be able to see a person after walking five or six miles. The more you look at the Hexi Corridor, the more so.


    No wonder the imperial court is unwilling to maintain here...


    Xu Huang was thinking as he wobbled forward on the horseback. At this time, the sun had begun to turn west, and the sky was gradually dimming. If it was normal, it would be time to find a place to settle down and rest. Suddenly Xu Huang looked intently, and there seemed to be some smoke and dust in the sky ahead!


    Immediately, the smoke and dust became a little bigger, and three scouts rushed over, and shouted loudly before they got close: "General! There are horse thieves surrounding the mountain in front, it seems... It seems that they are our people!"


    "What!" Xu Huang swung his tomahawk, "The whole army! Speed ??up!"


    ………………


    Bai Que and the others were in a panic.


    Chased by horse thieves all the way, Bai Que even managed to throw away some of the things he had originally carried, and scattered some money in the yellow sand. It turned out that some of the passing horse thieves caught them with their skills, and more people On the other hand, they didn''t look at them at all, and charged straight at them.


    Damn, this is not asking for money, these horse thieves are terrible!


    The white sparrow was eagerly looking for the direction of escape, and found that if they followed this speed and direction, they would be overtaken by horse thieves at the mountain pass...


    Once the narrow mountain pass is blocked, it will be almost dead for the white sparrows who have pulled out a long scattered queue!


    The white sparrow turned its head violently, waved its arms, and roared loudly: "Go north! Go up the mountain! Go north! Go up the mountain!" Mountains are not conducive to galloping war horses, which is tantamount to comparing the horse thief''s advantage in riding skills with his own side. Evening, but it also means that my side has lost mobility and can only wait for rescue...


    I hope, I hope that the soldiers and horses in Longyou can catch up!


    In the Han Dynasty, Li Ling was besieged by the Xiongnu less than 30 miles away from the border of the Han family. As a result, he ran out of ammunition and food and never waited for reinforcements from the Han Dynasty...


    Most of the men behind the white bird were originally following the white bird. At this time, they subconsciously didn''t think much about it, so they turned the direction with the white bird and ran towards the mountain in the north. Down the mountain, and then one after another got off their horses and began to climb up the mountain...


    Normally speaking, horse thieves won''t have to drive out all the people after they get the horses and property. However, the leader of this group of horse thieves is not ordinary people, but Matthew.


    Seeing Bai Que and others going up the mountain, Matthew gritted his teeth and ordered with a livid face, "Get off the horse! Go after them! Kill them all!"


    Pound was behind Matthew, and after listening to Matthew''s order, he said strangely: "Why do you want to hunt them down? These people have already used up their wives, property and horses. Even if they have some on them, they probably don''t have many..."


    Matthew gritted his teeth and said, "These are the little thieves from Zhengxi! Get off your horse! Kill them all! Kill!" Matthew''s hatred for General Zhengxi Fei Qian was surging like heaven. If it wasn''t for Zhengxi, Matthew felt that maybe he should be in Chang''an, even if he might not become an important minister of the court, he could still control the place, at least one two thousand stones is indispensable, but now, he had to become a horse thief, relying on plunder to support his subordinates , the gap between them is beyond heaven and earth!


    Therefore, when Matthew accidentally learned that a group of people were going to return to Longyou, who seemed to be under General Zhengxi''s subordinates, Matthew felt murderous. He must kill this group of people, so as to alleviate his hatred a little. .


    Pang De frowned slightly, but he glanced at Matthew and didn''t say anything, so he got off his horse, followed Bai Que and the others with his hands, and climbed up the mountain to chase and kill them.


    ………………


    Bai Que looked at the horse thief and others chasing after him, frowned, the masseter muscle on his cheek jumped, and suddenly pulled Marcus over, took out a small bag from his bosom, and stuffed it into Marcus Then he tightly held the small cloth bag and Marcus''s hand together, and said very seriously: "Horse trousers, you are a Semu people, they are not here for you! Take the things, from the other side Go on one side! Remember, take your things and go to General Zhengxi, it will be to your advantage!"


    Marcus looked at the small cloth bag in his hand subconsciously. He didn''t seem to feel any weight, and said hesitantly, "What? Makima-kun?"


    Bai Que was too lazy to talk to Marcus, and emphasized again: "Go to Chang''an! Do you know? Chang''an! General Zhengxi! Don''t lose it! Keep it! Repeat! Chang''an! General Zhengxi!"


    "Can press, Mr. Makima..." Marcus murmured repeatedly.


    "Yes, yes! Go, go in that direction!" The white sparrow pointed to the side direction, shouted at Marcus, then pushed him, and then led the people away from another direction.


    Marcus froze for a moment, then looked at the horse thief approaching from behind, shuddered, quickly put the small cloth bag in his arms, and ran to the other side, climbing with hands and feet, while afraid of forgetting, Still not listening, he muttered: "Can Press, Mr. Zhen Xijian... Can Xi, go according to Xi''an... Ah, what are you going to see..."


    The white sparrow on the side looked at the horse thief who didn''t seem to care much about Marcus fleeing to the side, and just separated two people to chase after him, and then most of the rest were closely watching their pursuit, and couldn''t help but ruthlessly Cursed: "Damn it! It really came for us!"


    Bai Que touched the other two small cloth bags in his bosom, gritted his teeth, and shouted: "Hurry up! Hurry up! It''s getting dark! As soon as it gets dark, the horse thief will definitely retreat! Go away!" Bai Que once suspected that This Marcus attracted pursuers, because only Marcus''s appearance characteristics were more obvious, but the result still disappointed the white bird, these horse thieves were still staring at people like themselves.


    However, Baique seemed to have run out of luck. After continuing to climb up for a while, he reached the top of the mountain. After running twenty or thirty steps forward, he suddenly discovered that the other side of the small hill was an almost vertical cliff. Straight up and down to the height of nearly three or four floors, and then a gentle **** down!


    At this time, more than ten horse thieves had already caught up. Seeing that Bai Que and the others did not continue to run forward, they understood after a moment of stupefaction. , laughing, and some horse thieves shouted something, as if they were laughing at Bai Que and the others...


    Bai Que pulled out the saber on his back, looked left and right, and said, "There is no way out, so I have to give it a go! I''m sorry, everyone! I couldn''t bring you home! I''ll pour wine for you to apologize !"


    "Haha! What did Commander Bai say! Since we are all brothers, we will live and die together, there is nothing else!"


    "I already died once back then, and now I have earned my life, which is enough!"


    "That''s right! Damn it, let these thieves know how powerful we are in Montenegro!"


    "Huang Ergouzi, we are under Zhengxi''s command, not Montenegro..."


    "...Damn, at this point, is there any difference in Zhengxi Montenegro? You care about a fart!"


    Everyone laughed and shouted, and then drew out their weapons one after another, turned around to face the chasing horse thief, and formed a simple formation.


    The horse thieves who came after them saw that Bai Que and the others had no fear, so they gradually stopped the useless sarcasm and laughter, and stood in a row one after another, forcing them up step by step.


    Baique looked back to the east.


    Going home, this is the concern and expectation that has remained in the hearts of the Han people for thousands of years. In a place out of sight, Baique knew that Longyou was there, Chang''an was there, and their hometown was there, but they never thought that when they came to the door of their house, they would not be able to go back.


    The sky has gradually dimmed, as if their hope of survival has also dimmed...


    Baique turned his face away and roared angrily: "Kill! Kill these thieves who keep us from going home!"


    Sorry, I’ve been too busy for a while, so I forgot this sheet music...


    I bow and apologize...
