After Shi Ji left, the Han people who were lying on the ground slowly raised their heads and stared at the direction in which the officers and soldiers left.
It's time, it's time for the Wei people to taste the anger of their Han people.
In the first year of Jianyuan, on August 28th, a peasant army organized by the Han people rose up and started a vigorous uprising war on the grounds that Tuoba Chun was dissolute and immoral and wanted to overthrow the Wei Dynasty and regain the north.
This peasant uprising came suddenly, and the local officers and soldiers were beheaded by them before they could react——
These people have been oppressed for too long. Now that they have a chance to resist, they will naturally spare no effort to kill them.
They caught the officials and gentry who had bullied them, beheaded them one after another and offered sacrifices to heaven, and then rushed straight to Chang'an.
When Tuoba Chunyu found out, he was furious and sent Murong Yan and Shi Ji to suppress it.
The people of the Wei Dynasty were all from Xianbei, and they had the ferocity of prairie men in their bones.
In other words, if a war really breaks out, they will be almost invincible unless someone specializes in restraining them appears.
One month after the peasant uprising, it was quickly suppressed by Shi Ji and Murong Yan with iron-blooded means - countless people were beheaded and buried under the Great Wall built by the Wei people themselves.
The remaining people became slaves and were used as playthings by the Xianbei nobles for their enjoyment.
They returned to their previous lives, which were even more miserable.
Among them, a group of people discovered the Silk Road in the Western Regions and fled with the remaining soldiers.
After Murong Yan found out, he immediately asked Shi Ji to pursue him - in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, none of the deserters could be left behind.
Shi Ji led 30,000 light cavalry in pursuit of the Silk Road.
October 8th.
A caravan left Persia and headed towards Jin Dynasty along the Silk Road.
The caravan was traveling through the desert with groups of camels. The sad young man sitting on the camel held a harmonica and gently blew an unknown desert folk song.
Luo Chen looked at the south with excitement in his eyes.
After many years of foreign trade, he could finally go home to reunite with his father and his lord.
The young man was eager to return home, so he quickened his pace.
When passing through the territory of the Wei Dynasty, Luo Chen deliberately chose to avoid it, but found many deserters while doing so.
When those people discovered the caravan, they came up one after another to ask for water.
Luo Chen saw that they did not look like Xianbei people, so he gave them water.
After careful questioning, Luo Chen found out that these people were all Han Chinese. They chose to revolt because they could not stand the oppression of the Xianbei nobles, but did not want to be suppressed by force.
The leader of the uprising was executed as a traitor and traitor by Ling Chi. Out of fear, they fled deep into the desert, where they met Luo Chen and others.
Luo Chen thought for a moment and said that since they were Han people, would they like to go back to Dajin with him to find Xie Yuan?
Those Han people had heard of Xie Yuan's name. When they saw Luo Chen mouthing Xie Yuan's name, they were stunned at first, and then they became suspicious of Luo Chen's identity.
Luo Chen then reported his family name, and everyone learned that the young man in front of them, who looked like a foreigner, was actually the favorite disciple of Dazai Xie of the Jin Dynasty - he was the one who opened up the Silk Road in the Western Regions and single-handedly led the Jin Dynasty
economic trade.
After knowing Luo Chen's identity, these Han people all looked at him with respect, and then expressed their willingness to accompany the caravan to Dajin.
Luo Chen asked them to change into businessmen's clothes and took out the disguise pill to change their appearance.
Today we are only one step away from completely leaving the territory of Wei Dynasty.
After today, if you walk quickly for a few days, you will soon be able to see the Yangtze River.
As soon as they crossed the Yangtze River, they reached the Dajin territory.
Thinking of Xie Yuan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and Huo Qubing, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, the unknown excitement in Luo Chen's heart became more intense, and there was even a smile on his face.
But soon, the smile in the young man's eyes disappeared after seeing the group of people in front of him.
Yellow sand was flying in front of me, and the group of armored men came on horseback.
The sound of armor rubbing against the yellow sand gave the merchants goosebumps.
The yellow sand slowly dispersed, and the young man at the head had a Han face, but his eyes had the bloodthirst of a Xianbei person.
Thirty thousand light cavalry stopped not far away, and the caravan also stopped.
No one dared to speak, for fear that they would be exposed——
Yes, they have recognized these people as Xianbei soldiers through their service.
Even though he had not fought in a war for many years, Luo Chen could recognize at a glance that the armor in front of him was unique to the Xianbei people.
Shi Ji stared at Luo Chen condescendingly. Seeing his foreign face, he narrowed his eyes and asked in Da Jin Mandarin——
"Businessmen over there, where are you from?"
When the person next to him was about to answer, Luo Chen secretly stretched out a hand to hold him down.
He looked at Shi Ji and tilted his head: "What are you talking about?"
It's Rouran. He is from Rouran, not Han?
Shi Ji's eyes flashed with inquiry, and he asked in Rouran words: "Where are you from?"
"We came from Persia, carrying His Majesty's orders to Dajin for trade. Where are you from?" Luo Chen opened his mouth and continued to ask in Rouran language.
"We came from the Wei Dynasty and were chasing a group of deserters. Have you seen them?" Shi Ji rolled his eyes and asked again in Chinese.
The person next to Luo Chen trembled.
At this moment, if he can't tell that General Xianbei is talking nonsense, then he is really a stupid donkey.
Everyone in the caravan knew that Shi Ji was setting up a trap. No one said anything, but their palms were all sweaty.
"What on earth are you talking about? I can't understand Chinese." Luo Chen frowned.
"Oh, I made a mistake and mistook you for Han Chinese." Shi Ji smiled slightly, "Can you show me the customs clearance document that His Majesty the Persians gave you?"
Luo Chen took it out generously and stepped forward.
Shi Ji saw that it was indeed stamped with a different seal from the Jin and Wei, so he returned it and spoke slowly in Rouran: "Okay, let's go. If you see deserters, you can go to the Wei
Tell me. I will reward you heavily."
Luo Chen performed a grassland salute and then left with the caravan.
Shi Ji continued to lead his troops deep into the desert, but he always felt that something was wrong.
It wasn't until night that he thought of something and his eyes suddenly darkened. He didn't even have time to eat the roasted suckling pig, so he asked all his soldiers to mount their horses and follow him to chase the caravan he saw during the day.
Shi Ji's confidants were very puzzled and asked: "They are just ordinary caravans. Why does the general want to chase them?"
"Since ancient times, those who go abroad to do business have often been proficient in multiple languages. If the leader says he can't understand Chinese in Jin Dynasty, how can he go to Jin Dynasty to trade!"
So there must be something fishy about that caravan!
Shi Ji gritted his teeth.
Grandma, she was tricked by a foreigner.
They chased out of the desert overnight and soon caught up with the caravan at the border of Wei Dynasty.
Thirty thousand cavalrymen surrounded the caravan. Shi Ji stared at Luo Chen with a sinister smile in the corner of his eyes——
