The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 739 Chapter 738

Gan Ning volunteered and was willing to go to Qianwei County alone to persuade Wu Yi to lead the people to surrender. After obtaining Zhang Liao's consent, he left Jiangzhou alone and formally went to Qianwei County.

Qianwei County is an important traffic route that guards Nanzhong and leads to Chengdu, Shu County, and Wu Yi, who led an army of [-] troops to garrison Qianwei County, deployed his troops in Bodao County of Qianwei County.

Bodao County is where the Bo people live. Their ancestors once helped King Wu of the Western Zhou Dynasty defeat Zhou.But because the Bohou Kingdom is in the far southwest, its road to the outside world is also blocked by many mountains, so over time, it lost contact with the Western Zhou Dynasty and became a forgotten country.During the development of hundreds of years, Bohou State has gradually merged with the local ethnic minorities, forming a distinctive way of life. In addition, Bohou State has become stronger and stronger and has become the leader of the ethnic minorities in the southwest area. Therefore, Bohou The people of the country are called Bo people, and the people of other countries also regard Bo as their nationality.

Until the time of Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty, the Han army went on an expedition to the southwest. While destroying the Yelang Kingdom, the Bo people helped the Yelang Kingdom fight against the Han army, so the Han army took advantage of the opportunity to destroy the Bohou Kingdom, and set up a county in the local area, called Bodao County.

Bodao County, in fact, is now Yibin, Sichuan.Bodao County is just like Yibin now, it is a traffic artery connecting north and south and running through east and west.At this time, the transportation was not developed, but Bodao County was always a major traffic route connecting southern Sichuan and eastern Yunnan because it was adjacent to the Yangtze River in the east, Liangshan Mountain in the west, Nanzhong in the south, and Chengdu Plain in Shu County, the hinterland of central Sichuan in the north.

Therefore, as long as this traffic artery is guarded, it is tantamount to guarding the gateway from Nanzhong to Chengdu, which is as important as the other Lingguan Road from Yuelu County to Chengdu.Lingguan Road is a passage dug artificially by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in order to conquer the Southwestern Yi. It is an important traffic route from the west of Qianwei County to Qiongdu, Yueyu County.

Whether it is Lingguan Road or Bo Road, these two traffic arteries leading to Nanzhong stand on the ground one east and one west.In fact, according to the division of the county, Lingguan Road should be under the jurisdiction of Yueyu County, but because of the importance of Lingguan Road, it has been under the direct control of Yizhou Mu in all dynasties.It is also true that after Nanzhong Yongkai and others rebelled, they were unable to break through the Lingguan Road, so they were unable to advance northward.

However, because the Lingguan Road was excavated from between the mountains, the area under the jurisdiction of the county seat is also very narrow. In addition, the city of the county seat is also small and located between two mountains, so there are almost no people in the city, and they are all troops stationed here. , a maximum of [-] troops can be stationed, and it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Wu Ban led 3000 troops to garrison here. In fact, there were only 7000 people in Lingguan Road City, and the remaining [-] people were stationed in the man-made caves behind Lingguan Road County.

Gan Ning headed west from Jiangzhou. Since he was from Yizhou, he also spoke with a Shu accent. He pretended to be a hunter from the Shu region, inquiring all the way, and the journey went smoothly.

A few days later, as Gan Ning walked westward, the accents of the people he encountered became more complex. There were fewer Han people in this area, and more people from ethnic minorities. Moreover, he had already heard that Wu Yi was stationed in Bodao County with his troops, so he walked all the way. Heading towards Bodao County, what you meet along the way is the Bo people who have lived here for generations.

Because the Bohou Kingdom was destroyed by the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty migrated a large number of Han people to live here in order to stabilize the situation at that time. Over time, the Bo people and Han people lived together and were more or less assimilated by the Han people. The only thing that hasn't changed is that the Bo people speak fluent Bo language, which is different from the Shu dialect in Yizhou.

Moreover, the Bo people are not very hospitable and do not like to see outsiders. After Gan Ning entered Bodao County after a long journey, most of the people he encountered were Bo people who spoke the Bo language, but he could not understand it. , opened his mouth and asked where the county seat was, but the Bo people were not eager to answer, but gave Gan Ning a very indifferent look.

Gan Ning passed by a village one day, and he knocked on the door of a family again, intending to ask how far it was from Bodao County, but Gan Ning spoke with the accent of a foreigner, making him continue Been shut down several times.

Just when Gan Ning was disheartened, a big man dressed as an Orion passed Gan Ning, but the Orion stopped after walking a few steps, turned his head and looked at Gan Ning, his eyes full of With complicated emotions, he finally moved his lips and called out tentatively, "Gan Xing?"

Gan Ning was walking forward dejectedly, when he heard someone behind him call "Gan Xing", he was shocked.Gan Xing is the alias he used when he was a Jinfan thief when he was a teenager, because his name is Gan Ning, and his style name is Xingba, and what he does is murder and robbing. He is afraid that the government will know his real name and implicate his family. , so I used Gan Xing as my pseudonym.

Gan Xing was a name, and only those who followed him as a Jinfan thief knew about it. At this moment, he suddenly heard someone calling him that behind his back, which made him a little puzzled.He has not been a Jinfan thief for a long time, and he has been away from Shu for many years. Could it be that Shu still has a portrait offering a reward for his arrest at this time?
Gan Ning turned around slowly, and saw behind him a man dressed as a hunter was sizing him up from head to toe, and his age was somewhat similar to his own, with a dark complexion and a pair of big black eyes revealing a trace of Hope, but a deep scar on the left side of his face made him look a bit hideous.

It seems that this face has been seen somewhere, but for a while, I can't remember when I saw this face.

When Gan Ning was still in doubt, the Orion suddenly grinned and walked towards Gan Ning quickly, with a look of surprise on his face, he said loudly: "It's really Gan Xing! Thinking of meeting you again in my life!"

Before Gan Ning could react, the Orion had already opened his arms and hugged Gan Ning in his arms, as if he was an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.

However, Gan Ning still couldn't remember who this person was, so he asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm Shen Mi!"

"Shen Mi?" Gan Ning pushed Shen Mi away, looked at Shen Mi carefully, and his old friend from many years ago appeared in his mind, suddenly his eyes lit up, if it wasn't for the knife on Shen Mi's left face Scar, he might not recognize him.

"It really is Shen Mi!" Gan Ning happily embraced Shen Mi in his arms, and said happily, "I never thought that you are still alive!"
