Chapter 107: The Long History of the Fallen Condor
By the Nishui River, Huangfu Song looked past the withering cattails and looked into the distance.
This Gai Ying gave him too many surprises, yes, surprises and joys.
He dared to face thousands of Qiang cavalry with only 500 county soldiers and hundreds of miscellaneous soldiers. He was too courageous. Huangfu Song raised more than 4,000 horse infantry and went to Lingzhou with great difficulty. The county magistrate informed him that the siege had been lifted.
When Huangfu Song heard about the ingenious plan to rescue the siege, he was amazed on the spot. But when he heard that he was going north to pursue the Qiang bandits, he was greatly worried and went straight north to meet them. On the way, he met Fu Xie from the north. He told Gai Changshi that he attacked the Qiang village at night and killed the prisoners.
Thousands of people, including countless cattle and horses. Before he could grin, Gai Jun led the crowd across the muddy water and straight into the core area of the Qiang people. If Huangfu Song hadn't been rich and strong in his youth, he would have been frightened and fell ill. This made him even more angry.
Unfortunately, Gai Jun had already returned, but he met Qu Yi, the commander of the forward cavalry. Qu Yi was also a bold master. He said that he had chosen the wrong person. What could happen if two bold people met?
There are still corpses floating in the muddy water from time to time, and the stench is astounding to his nostrils. Knowing that the two of them were crossing the river hand in hand, Huangfu Song was completely numb. All he needed to do now was to cheer for the two of them, and they would naturally come back after the fight was over.
"Master Mingfu, someone is coming from the west bank." A clerk came up behind Huangfu Song and whispered.
"Really? Recruit him over here."
"promise."
"Greetings to Lord Mingfu. Gai Changshi has captured the leader of the thief."
"Okay!" Huangfu Song looked happy and asked, "When will he come back?"
"Well... Gai Changshi said that he will behead the thieves in front of the Qiang chiefs, so it will take another month."
"..." Huangfu Song immediately couldn't laugh or cry, and his teeth were itching with hatred. He was a dignified head of a county, and he had to deal with all kinds of things. If he waits another month, the county government won't be in chaos?
－－－－－－
Within half a month, all the Qiang chiefs, large and small, who lived within a few hundred miles of the Han camp, arrived, totaling more than ten people. Who was the commander-in-chief of the Han army? Their long-standing doubt was solved. It was not Huangfu as they had guessed.
Song is not the captain of the Northern Territory, but the new Northern Governor Shi Gaiying, Gai Shehu, the most famous Han among the younger generation of Xizhou.
After meeting the person, everyone's first reaction was that their reputation was well-deserved, and their second reaction was that they were young. Gai Shehu was too young. If he served in Beidi for more than ten years, wouldn't they never get ahead? Liangzhou Qiang
More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the Qiang people have already licked their wounds and are eager to try.
In front of the Qiang chieftain, Gai Jun strangled Mang Feng, who was hanging from the camp gate, with more air out and less air in. He placed the body horizontally in the school yard, put ropes around his limbs and neck, and tied them to the back of the horse. The five horses exerted force at the same time.
, Mang Feng's body was suddenly broken into pieces, and the scene was so bloody and cruel that the faces of all the Qiang chieftains turned pale with fear.
"Five horses cut the body into pieces. Among us Han people, only the most heinous people will inflict this punishment." Gai Jun glanced at the Qiang chief beside him and pointed out: "This is the consequence of invading my country, the Han Dynasty."
"Mang Feng deserves death..."
Gai Jun said with a sullen face: "You should know that 90% of Beidi County has been given to you to live in. It's not that we can't take it back, but that we pity you for living in a miserable life. If you don't understand this and think that the Han people can be bullied, Mang Feng will end up there."
.”
The expressions of all the Qiang chieftains changed.
Gai Jun suddenly smiled: "I'm just saying this, chiefs don't need to be nervous."
"Don't dare, don't dare..."
Gai Jun continued: "I heard that Mang Feng is the most powerful person among Northland's Xian Ling?"
"Yes, all his six thousand troops were defeated by Chang Shi. There are no strong men left in the clan, and their destruction is imminent."
"This time I led the army and consumed a lot of food, fodder, money and supplies. I want him to compensate for half of the cattle and horses." Gai Jun asked with a smile: "You won't fight with me?"
The chiefs cursed Gai Jun in their hearts for being greedy. He had robbed thousands of horses and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep in several battles, but it was still not enough. Now they also wanted to fight for Mangfeng's family property. However, the situation was stronger than others, and they did not dare to refuse.
They all said respectfully: "This is what Chang Shi deserves."
Gai Jun laughed loudly and said: "The chiefs are really happy, and I like to do things with happy people. Bo Si, go kill cattle and sheep, and I will get drunk with the chiefs before we rest." Of course he didn't have wine, and the wine was Qiang.
The chiefs brought them, along with hundreds of horses.
Gai Jun sent people to take over the Mangfeng family property. When he had nothing to do, he led the Han army to hunt around to improve the skills of riding and shooting. The Qiang people also like to hunt and follow them around. It is well known that the Qiang people love dogs, and dogs are what the Qiang people hunt.
They are good helpers. When Gai Jun saw them, he couldn't help but think of the "black horse" he raised when he was young. It was a Qiang dog. Unfortunately, he died long before he got married and returned to his hometown.
Archery is the specialty of the Qiang people. In terms of riding and shooting alone, the Han army was no match for them. They saved a bit of face and felt that the Han people were nothing more than that. The Han army officers and soldiers were dissatisfied when the other party caught prey and cheered like a demonstration. When they met later,
The Qiang people pretended not to care on their faces, but secretly scolded the Han people for being shameless, saying that they were not strong enough and only relied on sharp weapons to show off their skills. The crossbow, the most terrifying weapon in the Han Dynasty, was taken from Er Shi
It ranges from more than ten stones to more than ten stones. The most powerful ones are the Zhang Zhang crossbow and the super long-range bed crossbow that stand on the crossbow wall. Many heroes of the Qiang people fell at its feet. The land of Liangzhou is covered with Qiang people's weapons.
Blood.
Suddenly there was a chirping of an eagle, the sound shook the surrounding areas, and the sound stopped the moving clouds.
"There is a sculpture."
"Shoot it down quickly."
"It's two eagles, they are fighting for meat."
The Qiang people howled with joy. No matter they were Huns, Xianbei people, Han people or Qiang people, they all named those who could shoot down the giant eagle as heroes.
Gai Jun raised his eyes and looked up, and it was indeed as the Qiang people said.
Eagles are ferocious, greedy and cunning. In order to snatch the opponent's food, one black eagle continuously dives and pounces, pecks or claws. The other eagle is not to be outdone. The two sides fight fiercely with each other, until the feathers fly and screams.
.
"I wonder if I can imitate Guo Jing and kill two eagles with one stone?" Gai Jun thought about it and galloped out, quickly approaching the two eagles. He bent a strong bow on the horse, nocked a heavy arrow, and held the full moon in his arms. The tip of the arrow glowing with faint green light was tightly
He locked onto the prey tightly, but he was not in a hurry to shoot. The moment the two eagles got close, there was a sudden "boom" sound, and the sharp arrow instantly cut through the sky, pierced one eagle, and its momentum continued unabated, and then penetrated into the other.
On the belly of the eagle, the two eagles sang together and fell from the sky.
Kill two birds with one stone, copy the myth, or... create the myth?
Gai Jun showed a happy smile on his face and drove his horse to fetch the eagle.
The Han army roared with excitement, raised their arms and shouted: "Chang Shi is a great shooter...Chang Shi is mighty..."
The Qiang people looked at each other, and then shouted loudly together with the Han people. He killed two birds with one stone, and his archery skills were so good. Even though he was a Han, he was worthy of their worship.
Qu Yi looked at the Qiang people's demeanor and secretly thought that as long as Gai Changshi did not leave, there would be peace in the north.
Guan Yu said to Gai Yin: "Today I know what archery is, but I will never reach this level in my life. Gai Yin shoots tigers, he is a master of shooting!"
Gai Yin nodded in agreement.
Gai Jun came back from riding his horse, holding the two eagles high, and another round of cheers arose.
A Qiang chief dismounted his horse and couldn't help but crawl to the ground, shouting: "The fallen eagle has a long history..."
The Qiang people followed suit, including more than a dozen Qiang chiefs, all kneeling on the ground.
