All arrangements are in place, and the four of them are about to set off. Yan Zhong is from Hanyang County and needs to travel southwest from here.
When Gai Jun saw that Yan Zhong was alone, he couldn't help but ask a question that had puzzled him for a long time: "Shibo didn't bring any entourage?" It should be noted that this is not the Central Plains, but a borderland where various ethnic groups live together and wars are frequent. Traveling alone requires a lot of responsibility.
It's a huge risk. If you encounter robbery, it's a good fortune. You are afraid of encountering robbery of both wealth and life. In fact, such gangsters account for 99% of the cases. After all, no one wants to leave behind troubles.
Yan Zhong replied calmly: "I brought a servant with me and died on the way."
Um?
Are you trying so hard to invite us to your home because you want free bodyguards?
Gai Jun secretly cursed.
Along the way, the road conditions were extremely bad, and all he could see were mountains and hills. He was even more certain of his judgment. Being robbed in such a place where birds don't poop, and being killed and buried casually, it can be said that the gods and ghosts are unknown.
Sleep.
Although Gai Jun had some "opinions" on Yan Zhong's character, he had to admit that he was knowledgeable and well-deserved for his title of celebrity. His father Gai Xun was the one in his mind, and he believed that anyone who could talk to his father was
A learned person.
Less than five years after the Qiang rebellion was suppressed, this was the main battlefield. Gai Xun and Yan Zhong did not talk about anything else, but talked about the old events of pacifying the Qiang.
The Qiang rebellion itself involves many aspects and is a complex political issue. Discussing this matter will inevitably cause disagreements. Sure enough, the two people soon disagreed. Yan Zhong did not approve of Duan Hao's bloody methods. He admired Huangfu Gui and Zhang Huan more.
He believed that the reason why the Qiang people repeatedly surrendered and rebelled was because of corrupt officials who joined the eunuchs. As long as the court was determined to punish them, it would be possible to end the chaos with a single warning, and the cost would be much smaller, at least without the need.
Billions of dollars in military spending.
Gai Xun had the opposite view and advocated killing. He felt that Yan Zhong's idea was too naive. The problem could be solved by punishing the eunuch officials. Are the officials who harmed the people of Liangzhou all the eunuchs? I'm afraid not so. Although Duan Jiong said
It cost more than half of the country's annual taxes, but it succeeded in quelling the war, making it impossible for the Qiang people to recover in the next ten or twenty years.
However, as the two of them chatted, they both stopped talking and looked at each other with sighs.
In fact, regardless of whether they are in charge of pacifying or suppressing, they have the same goal and the same goal, which is to restore stability to Liangzhou. To make Liangzhou stable for a long time, one thing must be done - that is, the officials must govern the Qingming Dynasty.
These four words are easier said than done, but if the officials do not manage properly, the Qiang people will riot sooner or later.
This is a deadlock that cannot be untied!
Gai Jun listened all the way and watched with cold eyes.
The reason why the Han Dynasty perished cannot be said to be entirely due to the Qiang rebellion, but it must be considered an important factor.
Dong Zhuo relied on the Qiang chaos for his birth, relied on the Qiang chaos for his rise, relied on the Qiang chaos for his power, and finally became the leader.
"Whoops..." A feather arrow shot into the bushes, and a huge wild boar sprang out from it, howling miserably as it ran over.
"You've offended a really big guy." Gai Jun muttered while riding on the horse, with a calm look on his face. He was not worried that the horse would hurt him. His confidence came not only from his belief in his own shooting skills, but also from Gai Jun beside him.
Yin, under his protection, no beast could get close to him. He was not slow and fired another arrow. This time, he could see clearly and the distance was quite close, so the whole arrow almost penetrated into the chest of the wild boar. The wild boar can
He is not a stupid guy, on the contrary, he is very cunning and will return to the bush as soon as he is reborn.
"Where to run?"
Gai Jun's third arrow shot through the wild boar's hind legs just before it entered the bush, and then rushed Gai Yinnu's mouth to signal him to clean up the mess.
Without saying a word, Gai Yin went inside with his knife in hand. He only heard a few wails and then no more sound. Then Gai Yin walked out calmly, carrying the dead wild boar on his shoulders, and placed it on the back of his horse.
Gai Jun gave a thumbs up. This wild boar weighs three to four hundred kilograms anyway. Carrying it like nothing is too overbearing. "Well, I hunted two wild pheasants earlier. This wild boar is an unexpected surprise. That's enough. Let's go back."
"We have game, but unfortunately no wine. Alas, even if there is wine, I won't be able to share it. I wonder if I will have a chance to drink when I get to Hanyang." Gai Jun sighed as he walked down the hillside. This is a big mountain on the border of Anding County.
Walk along the foot of the mountain and you will reach the boundary of Hanyang in about two hours.
"Uncle Xiaozu, please stop complaining." Gai Yin rarely spoke to him.
Gai Jun said angrily: "You are a well-fed man and don't know how hungry a man is. I just can't understand why my father allowed you to drink."
"I'm sixteen."
"Twenty and the crown."
"..."
The two of them went down the slope and saw Gai Xun and Yan Zhongxin riding on their horses and talking loudly. They also saw this side and pointed at the wild boars on their horses.
When the two sides were thirty steps away, the four horsemen were suddenly startled. Gai Yin's horse even overturned the wild boar and ran towards the mountain in panic.
Gai Jun tightened his grip on the reins and comforted Tayun softly, while at the same time scanning the surrounding jungle with suspicious eyes.
"There is a ferocious beast." Gai Yin said anxiously. He left all his bows and knives on his horse, but he could only pull out a dagger from his boot to defend himself.
After his reminder, Gai Jun grabbed his bow and was about to go to meet his father. Suddenly, a beautiful figure suddenly jumped out of the bushes beside Gai Xun.
The fishy wind blew towards his face, and Gai Xun stiffly twisted his neck, staring dumbfounded as a big white-fronted insect with an eye-catching eye rushed towards him.
"Is this the power of a tiger? My life is at stake!" His mind was very clear, but his body was out of control. At this moment, the horse he sat down on was stiff with fear.
Yan Zhong's horse next to him was frightened and ran away. Yan Zhong didn't react in time and fell off his horse.
The tiger roared like a thunder, jumped up, and was about to pounce on Gai Xun. There was a "boom" sound, and a long arrow that looked like a thunderous thunder shot into the back of the big insect.
Tutu came out from the other side. But Gai Jun did it instinctively when he saw his father was in danger, and he used his amazingly powerful left arm.
As if the tiger had been shocked by an electric shock, its attack in the air slowed down, and it only hit the horse's ribs, knocking the horse down. It roared again, abandoned Gai Xun, who fell dizzy in front of him, and turned towards the sneak attacker.
Too fast!
The tiger ran too fast.
Unlike when he faced the wild boar attack with ease, Gai Jun cautiously took the second arrow. The big insect was five or six feet in front of the horse and roared for the third time.
Gai Jun's whole body was covered with chills and he was so shocked that he couldn't even hold an arrow.
He finally understood why his father had not escaped just now.
When faced with a tiger, you simply cannot avoid it.
"Am I going to die?"
Gai Jun's mind went blank.
Tiyun was not frightened yet, so he turned around and ran up the hillside with him.
He glanced sideways in panic, and unexpectedly saw Gai Yin holding the dagger and running diagonally forward without retreating. At the same time, he waved his arms and shouted, obviously trying to attract the tiger's attention to himself.
The tiger's green eyes condensed, its momentum slowed down slightly, and it seemed that it was about to turn.
"Are you crazy?" Gai Jun couldn't help but panic. The strong emotional fluctuations greatly relieved the physical and mental pressure. He found that he could move. He rushed down with the toes of his two feet, clamped tightly on the horse's belly, twisted his upper body 180 degrees, and pulled
A stiff bow and heavy arrows.
"Boom!"
The sharp arrow penetrated the tiger's neck with a screaming sound. The tiger was overturned by the power attached to the arrow. Before it could get up, two more arrows penetrated into its belly one after another. It was wounded one after another. The tiger finally lost its tiger.
The majesty lay on the ground whining.
Gai Jun turned his horse's head, rode up to him, pulled out an arrow with a ferocious face, and shot it into the tiger's eye. The blow was fatal, and the tiger immediately died.
He gritted his teeth, but still didn't understand his hatred. He shot one arrow, two arrows, three arrows...ten arrows...and didn't stop until the quiver was empty.
It was deathly quiet all around.
"Are you an idiot?" Gai Jun shouted loudly, panting like an ox. His left hand was trembling. He tried to raise the riding crop several times but failed. If he had not lost his strength, he would definitely slap Gai Yin hard on the face.
"..." Gai Yin lowered his head. Uncle Xiao Clan was angry, and silence was the best way to answer.
Not far away, Gai Xun and Yan Zhong helped each other to stand up. Looking at the tiger who was shot like a hedgehog, they couldn't help but look at each other.
After a long while, Yan Zhong twitched the corner of his mouth and revealed a smile that was even uglier than crying: "Shooting a tiger to save my father shows unparalleled filial piety and bravery. Such a good boy... will definitely be the crown prince of Xizhou in the future."
