Chapter 384 Black Clothes

In order not to cause too much supply burden to the four counties in Hexi, the five thousand zheyi army was divided into twenty villages, and then a team of soldiers were guarded and left Guanzhong in turn.

After Wan Zhang showed off his hand in the flying dragon's cloud exploration, Han Gandang not only did not punish him, but instead kept Wan Zhang by his side as a guard. Following the flag of the Wuji School Captain, he set out in the last group: Han Gandang called this the escort formation.

"This is true for the Protector in the Army."

The escorts were not only the prisoner's gentleman, but also the supplies needed by the Western Regions: fifty cars filled with silk and pens and ink, as well as boxes of medicinal materials. The soldiers rode and rode on a bicycle, and the prisoner's gentleman could only walk.

On the way from Chang'an to Hexi, people continued to join the team, or recruit cavalry from six counties, mostly the veterans of the Xiliang army who had followed the umbrella of the vassals to recruit again, and brought their own horses and armor. The war has ended almost two years ago. These people are very generous and spend a lot of money on their own, and they spend almost the same rewards. It is time to move their muscles. This time, they not only come by themselves, but also bring young men from three relatives and six neighbors. The recruitment for the war is the iron crops of the people of the six counties.

The good children of the six counties either went to Beiting or Wusun to become the "Empress Dowager's personal guards".

After inquiring, Wan Zhang told his companions: "I heard that as long as those who are willing to go to Wusun will not only raise money, they can also get a good pasture beside the Yili River, plus hundreds of cattle and sheep, and they have their own slaves to grazle on their behalf. Last time they fought with the Huns, two of the ten men in Wusun died, and there were many widows!"

It sounds good, but the standard for recruiting Wusun is relatively high, and at least you have to be able to shoot. If a veteran is doubled, it is still a sinner who is not in the turn.

In addition, there is another group of people who are not as glamorous as the good children of the six counties. They look like bankrupt farmers, with sour and smelly bodies, greasy hair, lice and fleas, and ragged clothes, patches and very little cleansing. Most of these people are farmers and refugees who have lost their land in Sanfu Sanhe.

These are pitiful and tragic people. They are unwilling to recruit soldiers to Beiting to fight and farm, and they think it is too tired. They are not capable of becoming the queen mother guard in Wusun, and they do not have the ability to be the queen mother because they are afraid of the law and orders, and they also avoid the crime of the light hero.

I live in a daze, and the end of the end is either to die of illness or starvation or to sell myself as a slave - someone has to be willing to buy it.

It was not until he heard the rumor that the car Taoyu of the Utah could get rich overnight that he was moved and enthusiastically joined the team to the Western Regions. He carried hundreds of people, carrying simple hoes and shovels, and was very excited. He even secretly mocked the foolish sons of the six counties and the evil boys of the three auxiliary guards.

"Since you can get rich by picking up a piece of jade in the river, why bother to work hard in Wusun Beiting?"

This made Wan Zhang know that the road was still long and that those who were with them were not good things. The refugees, debtors, thieves, robbers, thieves, and the Anxi Protectorate had become a garbage dump specifically for receiving scumbags and wastes from all counties in the world. Compared to those, the young heroes who were still loyal and righteous in their hearts were considered serious.

If Han Gandang had not led such a group of people on the road, he would have been unable to control himself. Fortunately, people of different identities still had aspirations for the Western Regions. After walking for a month, they entered Hexi, and their journey day after day not only grindled bubbles on their feet, but also sucked the initial passion. The frustrating rumors began to spread and the escape appeared.

Han Gandang, who laughed and scolded everyone along the way, was merciless in dealing with the escape but was merciless. The six-county good family who took the initiative to recruit became his best hunting dog. Every day, several people who tried to escape were arrested and executed directly!

"Which maid was raised by Hu Chuan, why should Hu Chuan be executed if he missed his time?"

Han Dandang cursed and personally cut off two escaped Taoyumen and shouted loudly: "That is the time for war, and only generals and lieutenants will not be investigated. You are just equivalent to serving labor service. The army Sima, read the law to them!"

The army Sima Yingnuo recited: "The law of Xieluo says that the loss of the period of three days and five days is silenced; the sixth day is ten days, one shield will be given; the tenth day is ten days, one armor will be given after tenth."

Han Gandang patted his chest with his bloody hand: "As long as the person led by this lieutenant, no matter how much the punishment is, Lao Han should pay it for you! But even if you escape, it is a death sentence, and the general amnesty cannot save you!"

These words made everyone feel relieved, and after they left Yumen Pass in September, no one dared to escape - except for the Silk Road with a beacon tower built every twenty miles, there were Gobi Wilderness all around, and it is said that there were poisonous snakes and insects lurking in the sea of ​​sand, and the legend of a red-haired savage in the devil city with rugged rocks is also the legend of a red-haired savage.

Han Dandang showed up and told them about the painful experience of "a friend":

"His surname is Lu. Because he was walking around, he was dragged away by a female savage full of hair to borrow seeds. After using it, he ate it alive. When we found him, only a head that was gnawed naked was left!"

...

Just like this, they scared and motivated. Although there were people who died on the road, most of them still insisted on passing the White Dragon Pile and arrived at Loulan Road.

The Loulan Road was managed more properly by the Huangdaozhu. Because it was the end of the Peacock River, there was no need to be as afraid as the canal plow, and we could do some water conservancy projects. The canal management soldiers from Hedong improved the ditches, allowing the Peacock River, which was flooded in summer and autumn to divide the part of the irrigation farmland, and let the agricultural officials introduce the Central Plains' field agent method and fertilization. After a year, the exiles who arrived one after another had a good meal for a few days.

The more than 100 good families in the county who went to Wusun to be the personal guard of the empress dowager, and the hundreds of refugees who went to Khotan and Shache Taoyu, parted ways with the large army and walked to the distance with the dream of making money easily.

After Master Huang changed everyone a batch of shoes made of woven silk from Roben, the gentlemen set out on the road again, arrived at Quli along the Peacock River, passed Tiemen Pass, and went to Cheshi Kingdom through the Yanqi Basin.

Today, the Cheshi Wang was established by the Han army and was particularly close to the Han Dynasty. The Protectorate also set up a military farm site here, which was planted by the land that was opened when the Huns were 4,000 cyclists.

It was true that the predecessors planted trees and the future generations enjoyed the cool air.

It was already winter at this time. Although the sun was still shining during the day, the night was particularly cold. The mountain pass leading to Beiting had been closed by heavy snow and had been traveling for several months. Everyone was told that they would spend the winter in Cheshi and would be distributed to all parts of Beiting after the spring was over. They were overjoyed.

Everyone really can't walk anymore. If they force them to travel, they may really rebel and rebellion.

Ren Hong, the great guru of Anxi, also came here and discussed with his subordinates. He decided to ally with these young and evil young men from the Sanfu - this group of people could not be restrained by military discipline alone, and they had to learn the emperor's tricks and use some superstitious methods of the world.

Ren Hong specially chose a sunny day. When the towering Tianshan Mountains were clearly visible in the distance, he rode a horse to everyone, and the Cheshi people on Jiaohe City were also watching the fun from afar.

The radish is still riding. As for the "Elephant Dragon" given by the emperor, the "Elephant Dragon" - although it is tall and sturdy, it is conspicuous and proud of its riding, but its temperament is too strong, perhaps it is angering for the back and forth of thousands of miles? It has caused the elephant dragon to lose a lot of weight.

Ren Hong could not control it, and he was thrown off several times and fell down and chewed the mud. In desperation, he only turned his hand to his wife who was far away in Wusun Kingdom to tame it. It was strange that the elephant dragon fell into Yaoguang's hands but was cleaned up and obedient.

Ren Hong was a little embarrassed by the letters written by Yaoguang. Forget it, the gentle little radish is suitable for him.

The horse came to everyone, and behind him was the snow-white day mountain with colorful rainbow light shining because of the morning glow, which made people obsessed with it just by looking at it. The background of Ren Hong gave full marks, which was completely in line with the imagination of the foreign lands of the gentlemen.

The benefits and disadvantages of coming to the Western Regions were that after traveling thousands of miles from Chang'an to Cheshi, hundreds of people who died, the remaining people had already understood it. Ren Hong did not talk much and said loudly:

"I am Ren Hong, the Marquis of Xi'an, and General Anxi sent him to protect the fifty countries of Beiting in the Western Regions!"

Who knows the legendary experiences of General Anxi in the past few years? Although he is not as powerful as the emperor, he is also famous and everyone respects him. Perhaps they are not afraid of the powerful, but they will admire heroes like Xi'an Hou and Yiyang Hou.

"When you come, you may have been a young man from Wuling who has his father's honor, or you may have been a stolen son in Chang'an who is extremely poor."

"When you come, you are not tolerated by the law and orders, robbery, hurt people, steal, fight privately, unfilial, and steal sister-in-law. You are all guilty of being alone and shackles. The hero is also a evil hero."

This almost covers everyone. Some people still hold their heads up and are unmoved, while others silently bow their heads and feel guilty.

Ren Hong glanced at everyone: "But none of these matters, everything became the past. In the Western Regions, no matter the punishment for the noble and humble crimes in the early days, everyone can start over!"

He asked someone to distribute the winter clothes prepared for the young criminals one by one. The ochre clothes that everyone wore were all rubbing all the way, and they were in a mess.

This is a thick cotton fabric. The soil and soil of the Western Regions are suitable for growing cotton native to India and Central Asia. In the fourth year of Yuanfeng, Ren Hong obtained cotton from the Sogdians and planted in Shanshan, and then took root. In the past year, it has been greatly promoted. Whether it is Loulan or Quliche Shi Luntai, there are good harvests. In addition to satisfying soldiers, prisoners can also wear them.

And the color is dyed black.

"Once you change into a rosy clothes and put on black clothes, you will have to guard Beiting for five years! There is no way out before the period. You will escape and turn your post and die!"

Now that we have come, is there any way out? Wan Zhang and others took off their ochre clothes that had already leaked the air, trembling as if they had stripped off their former sins. After putting on black clothes of the same color as the guardians, they felt warm all over and breathed a sigh of relief.

Before it was over, Ren Hong sent someone to kill a black dog, scattered his blood on the ground, buried the domino with the oath written on it, turned around and pointed at Tianshan and said:

"You guys, in front of this towering Tianshan Mountain, I will follow my alliance. Put aside the sins of the past, and I will be reborn."

Killing animals and swearing blood, cursing and swearing to the gods, this is what the gentlemen often do when they make friends with each other. For them from the bottom, this is a stronger constraint than military law. Whoever does not keep the oath, the gods will punish disasters!

As the sun rose high, the hazy dawn turned into a dazzling day. Following the familiar troupe on the road, all the young men and women knelt down, looked at the Tianshan Mountains, followed the Protector, and read the oath in unison.

"The towering Tianshan Mountain!"

"Listen to our slander and be our witness."

"Loyal to the emperor and loyal to the Han Dynasty!"

"Real walls and valleys, real acres and real borrowing!"

"The road to arduousness is laid out in the west!"

"Make the river like a belt, and the Tianshan Mountains are as fierce. With this alliance of Yu, you can kill them. You will be killed. You will be killed without children and grandchildren, and there will be no young and old!"

Tianshan Mountain was silent, and the wind blew the snow on the top of the mountain, covering it with a layer of sacred veil. Looking at this scene, Wan Zhang suddenly cried out for some reason, and cried one after another. The journey was indeed too hard, so hard that they seemed to have been reborn and had a layer of skin.

"You guys."

Ren Hong turned around and asked everyone to get up.

"You knelt down and were sentenced to the prisoner of the ochre."

"When you get up, you will be the robes of Anxi Iron Army!"
