After ten days of preparation, in the spring of the eighth year of Yuande, on the second day of the lunar month, on the side of the Rao Le River, under the Temple of the First King.

Chen Xu led the civil and military officials of the Western Commandery, Wu Heng, and Xianbei nobles to respectfully offer three animal sacrifices to this holy place where the late king had been active.

He also ordered people to burn the sacrificial inscriptions and pray for the blessing of the late king’s spirit in heaven.

The entire area around the Xianwang Temple, which was more than ten miles in radius, was crowded with people coming to watch and worship.

These people include Han immigrants, as well as Dingling, Fuyu, Hao, Xianbei and Wuheng people.

But whatever the label is on them?

At this moment, everyone was sincerely convinced and respectfully worshiped this holy place, which was now protected by an edict issued by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. It was strictly ordered that "with a radius of thirty miles, mountains, rivers and rivers must not be destroyed without permission due to their shape."

For the Han people, this place was once a holy place where Fuxi, Nuwa and even Xuanyuan were active.

Even thousands of years ago, there was probably a holy king here, looking up at the sky and the earth, and communicating with God.

As for other ethnic groups, the existence of this place proves the ironclad fact that legally speaking, they belong to the "lost remnants" of the Zhuxia nation.

Moreover, all tribes are convinced that the ancestors of this place are likely to be inextricably linked with their ancestors.

For example, Xianbei Houqiu Keju insisted that the ancestors of the Xianbei people were once ministers of the Fuxi clan, and later followed the Fuxi clan to come here to offer sacrifices to heaven. The ancestors of the Fuxi clan ordered the Xianbei ancestors to guard the holy land here and wait for the Holy King to come here again to offer sacrifices.

Heaven and earth communicate with God.

For thousands of years, the heroic Xianbei warriors have loyally followed the orders of their late kings and guarded here from generation to generation!

The conclusive evidence is the name Xianbei, which means auspicious belt in Xianbei language.

Regardless of whether others believe it or not, Qiu Kegu is convinced, and the Xianbei people are even more convinced. Who dares to question the correctness of this statement in front of a Xianbei warrior.

So I'm sorry, I'll meet you with my sword drawn!

The Wuheng people followed suit, and Wuhenghou Karasuma took out a bunch of tribal collections from somewhere in the corner of his head.

Then he told the world with certainty that the ancestor of the Wuheng people was a general of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan.

These collections are tokens given by Emperor Xuanyuan to the ancestors of the Wuheng people.

Anyway, in this era without carbon 14 detection method, no one can expose it.

Moreover, they have a picture and the truth, which is even more reasonable and well-founded.

Wuheng means intelligence and wisdom.

And could it be Yi Di who could bestow such a beautiful clan name on the Wuheng people?

He must be the great ancestral king of the Xia, the holy king of all the beautiful and sacred symbols of the world, the co-lord of all Wuheng people, and the ruler of all the worlds.

Holy Xuanyuan!

According to the Wuheng people, three thousand years ago, Huangdi Xuanyuan defeated Chi You and decided to offer sacrifices to heaven. The ancestors of the Wuheng people loyally followed the great Xuanyuan family here.

Emperor Xuanyuan worshiped the Queen of Heaven and ordered the Wuheng people to station in Chishan to protect the holy land from generation to generation.

Therefore, the Wuheng warriors all called themselves the defenders of the Holy Land.

Throughout the year, there are Wuheng warriors and cavalry patrolling and protecting the Holy Land of the Former Kings, which is located on the side of the Rao Le River.

Anyone who dares to be disrespectful around the Holy Land will be severely punished!

As for the fact that the Xianbei and Wuheng people were actually the remnants of the Donghu tribe who fled eastward after their defeat, no one dared to talk about it.

Even if someone wants to point out this fact, they will be stopped by Wu Heng and the Xianbei nobles and even be humanely destroyed.

The great young historical inventor won the victory.

It is very likely that in the history books thousands of years from now, the origins of the Wuheng people and Xianbei people will be completely different.

At this moment, the solemn memorial service, accompanied by the sound of chimes, spread throughout the mountains.

"In the sixty-first year of the Wei-Han Dynasty, at the age of Yiwei, in the spring of the second month of the second month of Yimao, by the order of the emperor, Chen Xu, the western captain of the Andong Protectorate, reported to the Holy King: Your Majesty Fu Wei has exerted his mighty body...

"

"I am now sent to a distant place by the king's order to punish the rebels and raise the authority of the king's army beyond the Liuhe..."

After the memorial text was read, the three armies stood solemnly and raised their war flags.

Chen Xu unsheathed his sword, faced the entire army, and gave the order: "Send the order to the entire army: target—the barbarians in the east!"

So, the western Duweijun troops had 3,000 light cavalry, plus 2,000 Xianbei cavalry, 1,500 Wuheng cavalry, and 800 Dingling rangers, sworn to fight!

Within two days, this entire army crossed the Raoleshui River, crossed the vast land, and marched toward the unknown depths of the grasslands in the west!

Originally, the Han army had to worry about getting lost.

But the emergence of the compass completely solved the problem of orientation identification.

At this moment, the various tribes in the southern part of the country are still at a loss.

…………………………………………

Almost at the same time as Chen Xu offered sacrifices.

Thousands of miles away from Raoleshui, on Heli Mountain, a Han military captain raised his telescope and looked at the vast land of Juyan in the distance.

Heli Mountain is the westernmost point of the Han Dynasty's territory today.

In fact, this place can be said to be an enclave.

The nearest Han city to Heli Mountain is still seven or eight hundred miles away.

Along the way from Beidi County to Heli Mountain, there are barren mountains, grasslands and rivers. The nomads of the Western Huns and the Qiang tribe in the mountains are all active in the vast world beyond Heli Mountain.

There is no need to worry about the Western Huns and the like, these nomads do not dare to provoke or challenge the Han army.

But the Qiang people are a big problem!

For the Han army garrison stationed on Heli Mountain, the most annoying thing every day when they get up is meeting these Qiang people.

The Qiang people are a group of ignorant people who are a huge headache for both the Han family and the Huns.

Qiang means a herdsman riding a sheep or a shepherd.

The origin of the Qiang people is very complicated. Among them are the Yuezhi people, the Donghu people, the Huns, and even the Quanrong people from thousands of years ago.

But their habits are almost similar.

They all especially like to kidnap men from other ethnic groups and bring them home to be used as studs...

When the Han people entered their world, the Qiang people were particularly interested in strong Han soldiers.

Whenever the Han army patrols go out, or a supply convoy arrives, the Han army officers on Heli Mountain are always worried about the safety of the travelers or the baggage troops.

Since the sixth year of Yuande, when the Han army gained control of the main mountain of Heli Mountain from the Western Huns, dozens of Han soldiers have disappeared so far.

Only about 20 people have been recovered.

There was even a story about a Qiang tribe princess who fell in love with a Han army commander and kidnapped him back into the mountains to become his consort.

Today is the day that the supply convoy from Northland County arrives.

Heli Colonel Chen Wu was very worried about the safety of this convoy.

So he sent more than 300 cavalry early to respond.

But so far, there has been no sign of the supply team, nor of the cavalry.

The entire vast grassland is almost empty except for the occasional nomads.

Chen Wu had to worry about the safety of the supply team.

But he dared not send any more troops out.

Because the Han army garrisoned in Heli Mountain only had more than a thousand people.

Among them, there were no more than 500 cavalrymen. The more than 300 cavalrymen he sent out in the morning were already the last and largest mobile force in his hands.

He dared not move any of the remaining troops.

Because there is absolutely no room for failure in Heli Mountain!

Once this place was lost, the Han army lost the most important channel in and out of Hexi.

We will even lose surveillance of the vast area hundreds of miles around!

Since ancient times, those who get Heli Mountain get Rouge Mountain.

Therefore, Chen Wu could only continue to wait, and at the same time, people were ready to light the beacon tower and release the homing pigeons for help.

Although he knew that, in fact, if Heli Mountain was attacked by the enemy now, even if the Han army in Beidi or Hetao got the news immediately and sent a large army to help.

But, at the very least, it will take half a month to get here.

This is still the most optimistic estimate.

Just when he was worried about the safety of the cavalry and supply convoy he sent out, and worried about whether to release homing pigeons, suddenly puffs of smoke and dust rolled up on the horizon in the distance.

Judging from the size of the smoke, this was a huge team of at least several thousand people.

Chen Wu quickly turned the telescope around and observed carefully.

I saw a tall war flag appearing in the telescope.
