Can I get to the other side?

Sizhou, Chang'an.

After Zhang Liao led the troops to escort Zhang Zhongjing back to Yecheng, the responsibility of guarding Chang'an fell on Zhang He.

Zhang He was originally leading troops outside the customs to search for Ma Chao, but after receiving Zhang Liao's message, he had no choice but to lead his troops back to Chang'an.

However, he did not give up the search during this period, and continuously sent scouts and spies deep into the Qiang territory to inquire about Ma Chao's whereabouts.

"Where did this damn thief escape to?"

Zhang He looked at the information sent back by the scouts. There was no news about Ma Chao in it, and he couldn't help but cursed angrily.

In the recent battle in Chang'an, although he led the Modao Army to defeat Ma Chao, he failed to keep this guy behind.

Although this was not his fault, he felt it was a great shame.

Your Majesty entrusted him with the best of the best like Mo Daojun, but he failed to kill Ma Chao. Isn't this a shame?

So much so that I have been tossing and turning at night unable to sleep, always wondering if the results would be different if Lu Bu and Zhang Liao were allowed to lead the Modao Army.

"Ma Chao, a thief, has a very high prestige among the Qiang people. All the Qiang leaders obey his advice. His whereabouts are unknown now. The Qiang people must have helped him hide."

Pang De replied that he knew Ma Chao quite well.

Hearing this, a look of anger appeared on Zhang He's face, and he gritted his teeth and said, "These Qiang people are really lawless. How dare they hide the traitors wanted by the imperial court!"

"If I hadn't had the responsibility now, I would have led the troops deep into the Qiang land and taught these barbarians the consequences of resisting the imperial court!"

The Qiang, like the Huns, are foreigners outside the customs and often offend the border. Ma Chao gained his reputation and prestige by killing the Qiang.

However, although Ma Chao killed these Qiang people, they were still unconvinced by the Han court and never settled down.

"It's better to wait for His Majesty's will."

Pang De persuaded, saying that there was no news from Yecheng yet, and he didn't know whether to pursue Ma Chao or give up the pursuit.

After all, the Qiang people are still powerful today, even more powerful than the Xiongnu. They are always a major danger on the border and cannot easily go to war with the Qiang people.

It would be great if these Qiang people were as sensible as the Huns and took the initiative to send Ma Chao's head, which would save them a lot of trouble.

Just as Pang De's mind was racing with thoughts, a soldier hurried into the camp and knelt down and said, "General! The scouts are here to report that they are suspected of having found traces of rebels in the Qiang Kingdom Court!"

"What?!"

Zhang He was immediately startled and reached out to take the information and read it carefully, with a look of ecstasy in his eyes!

"Okay! Okay! Okay! Finally found the whereabouts of this traitor!"

"Pass my military order, the Modao army must assemble!"

Zhang Liao immediately gathered his troops to chase Ma Chao.

Pang De was shocked and said: "General Zhang, General Wenyuan asked you to guard Chang'an City, how can you lead the attack without permission?"

"The decree hasn't been sent to Yecheng yet!"

If Zhang He leads his troops deep into the Qiang territory, to put it more seriously, he will be violating military discipline and leaving his post without permission, and will be punished by military law.

But Zhang He was only focused on chasing Ma Chao now, so he did not listen to Pang De's persuasion, and said flatly: "I will not move the defenders in Chang'an City, and I will only lead the Modao Army to attack."

"General Pang, come and guard Chang'an for me!"

After saying this, he did not allow Pang De to refuse, so he grabbed the sword beside him and strode out of the military camp.

…

Qiang royal court.

The Royal Court is located deep in the Qiang land. It not only occupies a very large area, but also has abundant water and grass, and numerous herds of cattle and sheep. Major tribes live here, with a population of more than 100,000.

The people who live here are all Qiang princes and nobles, and in addition there are countless slaves!

The competition among the Xiongnu and Qiang people was cruel. Large tribes annexed small tribes, and people from small tribes were either killed or sold as slaves.

Among them, the Han people are the favorite slaves of these foreign races outside the customs.

Anyone who has Han slaves in their hands will be very proud when they go out. They are proud of having Central Plains slaves, so they often enter the pass to plunder them.

To the north of the Royal Court, there is a Colosseum.

This is one of the favorite places for Qiang princes and nobles, and it is also the most lively place in the royal court.

No matter what time of day, the place is bustling with people.

Nothing else, just because this place is full of blood and violence!

The Colosseum is not a fight between beasts and beasts, but a fight between humans and beasts, or between humans and beasts!

There is a reason why the Han people hate foreigners.

Men captured from the Han border were either sent to the Colosseum or sold as slaves, while women, without exception, became female slaves and ended up being very miserable.

At this moment, the cheers and shouts in the Colosseum are about to overturn the sky.

Hundreds of Qiang princes and nobles gathered to watch a fight between man and beast!

A man and a boy, both Han Chinese who were skinny due to lack of food, stood in the center of the Colosseum.

The two people have similar looks, so it is not difficult to infer that they are a father and son.

In a huge cage in the Colosseum, there was a hungry wolf with green eyes!

The Qiang people said to the father and son in half-baked Han Mandarin: "It's still the old rule. One of you, father and son, and this evil wolf must die!"

"If you kill the wolf, both of you will be free! If one of you is bitten to death by the wolf, the other will automatically be free."

As he spoke, a joking smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said: "Of course, according to the rules, you can also choose to kill each other, and the one who survives can live."

"But remember, the time left for you is only half a stick of incense. After half a stick of incense, the wolf will be released from the cage and fight with you!"

After saying that, he burst out laughing!

The Qiang people are extremely cruel!

Both men and young men were as hungry as skin and bones. They had no armor in their hands and only held a dagger. How could they be the opponents of the evil wolf?

But even if they are fully armed, they can't beat the hungry wolf!

But this is exactly what these Qiang people want to see!

What they most wanted to see was not that the wolf killed the two people in the Colosseum, nor that they could kill the wolf, or that they both died together.

What they most want to see is their relatives killing each other in order to survive!

Whenever such a scene happens.

It can make them excited and ecstatic!

"Timer starts!"

When half a stick of incense was placed on the stage and lit, the whole audience was filled with excitement!

All the audience cheered with excitement!

When the incense is lit, it means that the half-stick incense countdown has officially begun!

The Han father and son in front of him.

We are facing a big crisis between life and death!

"father……"

The young man's face was pale and he looked at his father across from him, his hand holding the dagger trembling.

The father didn't say anything, he just walked towards the boy with the dagger.

Seeing this scene, the cheers from the audience seats on both sides became even louder!

They are about to see a father and son massacre!

The father walked up to the boy, reached out and touched his cheek, and then said with a faint smile: "Yao'er, live well."

After that, he stabbed a dagger directly into his heart!

The man's body fell limp, and blood flowed on the ground like a bright flower.

"father!"

The young man cried out sadly, fell on his father's body and burst into tears.

"What are you doing! What are you doing!"

"Why commit suicide! I want you to kill each other! Damn it!"

The Qiang man in charge of the Colosseum cursed angrily, obviously very angry.

He walked up to the young man and wanted to beat him.

However, the next moment, the boy who was crying just now suddenly got angry and started to kill the Qiang man with a dagger!

The young face is full of murderous intent!

The Han people are fierce and would rather die than surrender!

It was a pity that he was so thin, so how could he be the opponent of this Qiang people? He was kicked out and he vomited a mouthful of blood and died on the spot.

"Bring in another pair!"

The Qiang people glanced at the bodies of the two young men with disgust, then waved their hands and gave instructions.

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

The two bodies were moved down.

The bloody and cruel "beast fight" continues.

…

If we say that the Colosseum to the north of the Royal Court is the favorite pastime of Qiang princes and nobles, it can witness Han fathers and sons killing each other.

The Han Women's Pavilion located to the south of the royal court is a place that the Qiang princes and nobles dream of!

The Han Women's Hall held a large number of women plundered from the Han border. They lost their freedom and were imprisoned like slaves for the enjoyment of the Qiang people.

At this moment, in the Han Women's Pavilion.

The eldest prince of the Zhongqiang tribe and a group of sons of the leaders of the Qiang tribes drank and had fun here.

They hugged the juicy Han woman with one hand and drank heavily from the wine glass with the other, laughing happily from time to time.

The Han women in their arms had expressionless faces and dull eyes.

Like a zombie.

Ever since they were captured by the Qiang people, they have been doomed to a miserable fate!

In order to control them, make them obedient, and prevent them from committing suicide, the Qiang people tried their best.

If a person is disobedient and has a father or brother in the family who is captured, then the father and brother will be sent to the Colosseum; if a husband or son is captured, then the husband and son will be sent to the Colosseum.

Those who commit suicide will have their relatives captured and killed in cruel ways; if there are no relatives, those who are also imprisoned will be killed.

Therefore, the women in the Han Women's Hall really can't live or die, and they live a hellish life every day.

Over time, they gradually became numb.

The real thing is to seek death.

The eldest prince drank a large bowl of wine, and then said to everyone: "I wonder if you have heard that the famous mighty general Ma Chao was beaten by the soldiers of the Han court and fled."

"This guy approached my father not long ago and asked our Zhongqiang tribe to lend him troops. I really don't understand why my father should be so respectful to this guy."

"General Shenwei Tian, ​​I think he is just a lost dog who has lived up to his reputation."

There are many rumors about Ma Chao among the Qiang people, saying how brave and invincible he is.

The eldest prince was originally in awe of Ma Chao, but when he learned that this guy led a hundred thousand elite cavalry and was actually defeated by the Han, this awe no longer existed.

One hundred thousand cavalry. If he had such an army, he would have rushed to the pass to plunder wantonly. How could the Han people be his opponent?

Hearing this, the son of a tribal leader said: "But I heard that the one who sent troops to attack Ma Chao this time was Lu Bu, known as the most powerful general in the world."

"It's normal that Ma Chao is not his opponent."

Lu Bu's reputation was very great, even among the Qiang people, but no one had ever seen it.

"The most powerful general in the world is just a boast."

The eldest prince snorted coldly, his tone full of pride: "The Han people are not as powerful as you think. How many of Ma Chao's 100,000 cavalry are our Qiang people?"

"If the Han people were really stronger than our Qiang people, he would not have recruited Qiang people into his army."

"It's just that Ma Chao is too incompetent. In order to save his face, he boasted about how powerful the enemy is."

Everyone naturally echoed when they heard this.

It seems that even they have forgotten that they are just a group of cowards who only dare to plunder the people on the border and are frightened by Ma Chao's killing.

Everyone drank and laughed happily.

The eldest prince looked at the people around him and said, "Although the dancing of Han women is beautiful, it is a bit boring to watch them every day."

"Do you have any fun?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a man stood up and said, "Eldest prince, I have an idea.

"Han people care most about ethics and morals. Why don't we select a woman whose parents, brothers, husbands and sons are also captured from this Han women's house and let them..."

"If they don't obey, all the rest of their relatives will be tortured and killed in front of them!"

This proposal, this idea.

It is simply crazy to the extreme!

The women who were originally expressionless and dull, like walking corpses, changed their faces one by one, and showed extreme panic and fear in their eyes.

When the eldest prince and a group of princes and nobles heard this, their eyes lit up and their faces were full of excitement!

"Fun! This game is fun!"

The eldest prince slapped the table and said to him excitedly, "Asaihei, your proposal is great! Let's do it as you said! "

"As long as you can make this prince happy, the cattle and sheep that your tribe offers will be halved next year!"

"Thank you, prince, thank you, prince!"

The son of the tribal leader was naturally overjoyed.

Soon, under the operation of the manager of the Han Women's Hall, a Han woman and her family of five were brought to the prince and others.

These five people, in addition to the Han woman, are her father, brother, husband, and young child.

When they knew the choice they would face next, their faces turned pale.

The prince drank a large bowl of wine and said in poor Central Plains language: "This prince will give you half an incense stick of time to consider."

"Every time half an incense stick passes, if you haven't made a decision or refuse, then this prince will kill one of you until you are all killed! "

The incense was lit.

Many Qiang nobles drank wine and admired the panic of the Han family of five, laughing continuously.

The panic of the Han people was the best appetizer for him!

Watching these Han people who talked about etiquette and morality break their bottom line and do things that violated ethical principles was their greatest pleasure, and it also satisfied their hatred for the Han people in their hearts!
