In the fifth year of Zhongping, Western Liang rebelled!
Bian Zhang and Han Sui killed Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, and elected the king as the leader. They gathered 100,000 people and marched straight to Sanfu.
The court and the people were shocked and ordered Huangfu Song, the general of the cavalry, and Dong Zhuo, the former general, to lead 30,000 infantry and cavalry to the west to quell the rebellion.
The setting sun was like blood, and the wind and sand swept through. The world was empty and decisive!
In the desolate land of Western Liang, the world was forever yellow. The ground was stiff under his feet, and the endless sky was above him!
In this wilderness, it made people feel hopeless and helpless, but also heroic and sad!
From here, one could see the endless sandstorm plains, galloping and galloping! The law was infinitely weakened here. Strength was the eternal law!
Western Liang, a land of wolves!
Western Liang was bitterly cold. It was already early spring and April, but there was still no warmth. The air was filled with a dry aura, and the cold wind blew, making people shiver!
However, for the hot-blooded Xi Liang people, this was already a common occurrence!
The red mist on the horizon gradually receded, and night fell. Birds returned to the forest, fish sank to the bottom of the river, and everything was silent. The world was peaceful, and only the wind and sand were howling!
Under the night sky, the fire gradually lit up, illuminating the land. This was a Qiang tribe, a branch of the Xianling Qiang. There were about ten thousand people, and it was a large tribe!
If the Xiongnu were the nightmare of the Han people in the Western Han Dynasty, then the Qiang people were the headache of the court in the Eastern Han Dynasty!
Throughout the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, the Qiang people were the representation of restlessness and were even the greatest threat to the imperial court!
Even though they had been suppressed several times, they surrendered and then rebelled, rebelled and then surrendered, tormenting the imperial court until it was exhausted! The national treasury was empty, and they had even planned to give up Western Liang!
The Qiang was just a general term that the Han people used to refer to the minority ethnic groups in the border of Xiliang. They were divided into the Shaodang Qiang, Xianling Qiang, Dianna Qiang, and so on. However, they believed that they were an independent race and were not interested in the general term Qiang!
There were also many internal conflicts, and the fighting was even more intense!
However, most of the Qiang people were very happy to start a war with the Han people. That way, they could seize the opportunity to plunder large amounts of land, cattle, resources, and women!
Just like this time, when Xiliang was in civil strife and the provincial governor Geng Bi was killed by the rebel army, the various tribes of the Qiang people responded one after another and even moved their entire clan eastward!
As a result, the number of rebel soldiers reached tens of thousands. The soldiers surrounded Chencang and shocked the entire court!
The tribe under the night sky was a Qiang tribe that had joined the rebellion. They yearned for the prosperous world in the east and did not want to continue suffering in the border!
Therefore, all the men, women, elders, and children of the tribe had come. They wanted to seize the land of the Han people to survive, seize the wealth and enjoyment of the Han people, and seize the Han women to reproduce!
This was a feast!
Under the cover of the night, the noise in the tribe gradually disappeared. Except for a few sentries who were on guard, the rest of the people all went into the warm tents!
The cold wind howled. No one wanted to suffer outside. Only the weak fire was left in the dark night, swaying in the cold wind!
No one noticed that a few miles to the north, a huge army was quietly watching them!
They were wearing sheepskin coats to resist the cold wind, but they were wrapped in black light armor. They held long sabers in their hands, and their faces were rough. Their fierce gazes were staring into the distance!
This kind of attire was different from the Qiang people. It was the traditional attire of the Xi Liang people!
They were the Han army of Western Liang, the army that was sent to quell the rebellion!
Everyone was silent. The atmosphere was strange and terrifying. Only the warhorses under them felt the arrival of war and were restless!
They advanced silently in the night, a total of five thousand cavalry, but they maintained a certain formation at all times!
Everyone tensed up their muscles and gripped their long sabers tightly. Their fierce gazes were filled with killing intent as they looked at the Qiang tribe that was getting closer and closer!
At the front of the army, a young man was riding a tall warhorse. He was wearing black armor and a blood-red cloak! His face was filled with indifference, and his gaze was firm and calm!
He had the fierceness that was engraved in his bones by the Xi Liang people, but he also revealed a sense of elegance! His face was firm and his figure was tall! His gaze was fixed in front of him, and his hand was constantly gripping the hilt of his sword!
The moonlight was faint. When the army was three miles away from the tribe, they could already vaguely see the outline of the tribe in the distance! The atmosphere became even more solemn!
"General, scouts have reported that everything is normal!”
At this moment, a burly man appeared beside him and said in a low voice. There was a scar on his face, which made the man's aura even more ferocious!
He nodded indifferently, and the coldness in his eyes became even deeper, adding a strong killing intent!
His name was Meng Qian, a Great General of the Western Liang Border Army. He was born into the powerful Meng Clan of the Northern Lands. When he was young, he led some of his clansmen to join the Western Liang Han Army. Now, he was already a general in the garrison!
They were under the command of the former General Dong Zhuo. This time, they led 5,000 cavalry to bypass the north and penetrate the rebel army to divide and surround them!
The Qiang tribe in front of them was on the way to the east. In front of them, there were hundreds of thousands of rebel soldiers!
For cavalry, three miles was almost an instant, and it was the most suitable place for a charge!
At this moment, the atmosphere became strange and terrifying. Everyone knew that the slaughter was about to begin!
The warhorses roared uneasily. The 5,000-strong army drew their sabers, emitting a cold light under the night sky!
The appearance of such a large army finally alarmed the Qiang people not far away. The tribe instantly became noisy. They hurriedly put on their clothes and mounted their warhorses, preparing to fight the enemy who came from an unknown place!
However, it was too late!
Meng Qian pulled out his saber and swung it forward fiercely! The cold voice said,
"Kill!"
"Roar ~"
The deep sound of the horn instantly sounded in this desolate land. It was heavy and shocking, like a melody from ancient times, blowing the prelude to the battle!
A massacre began!
The five thousand cavalry galloped forward under the moonlight like a flood in the dark night. The shock was indescribable!
"Roar!"
"Kill them!"
They were roaring crazily!
This was a land of wolves. Every Western Liang citizen had the bloodthirsty nature of wolves engraved in their bones. From the moment they were born, they had already decided that they would be wolves for the rest of their lives!
This kind of cold-blooded and cruel animal lived in a cruel environment. Killing was so common to them!
And the five thousand cavalry under Meng Qian were a pack of wolves with a crazy offensive nature!
When Meng Qian, the alpha wolf, gave the order, they would rush forward crazily to bite the enemy! Their faces were filled with excitement and coldness. They had never been afraid of war!
They even yearned for war and the feeling of controlling life and death! He desired to obtain everything he wanted through war!
This was because the Qiang tribe before him had wealth, slaves, and women!
