The Western Regions are a good place, the Tianshan Mountains are beautiful, and the grasslands are as green as green. Occasionally there are patches of regular fields, planting chestnut rice, millet, and beautiful grape trellis...

The purple grapes from the far west have bloomed quietly, but the small green flower grains are easily overlooked. If you are not careful, the flowering period will be over, leaving only the fruity aroma of the grapes left.

Sild stood under the vines and looked up at this strange fruit. If Bai Dong had not asked him to pay special attention, he would probably not care about this kind of thing like the natives here. Although the taste of this thing is good, not many people planted it in the Western Regions because it is too difficult to preserve and cannot fill it with hunger. Even if it is dried into raisins, it cannot be eaten too much, otherwise it will have stomach acid. Therefore, the people in the Western Regions would rather have more chestnut seeds and wheat that consumes great power than waste their power to plant this flashy fruit.

"My teacher once said that in my hometown, there is a fruit called 'grape'. It not only tastes sweet, but also uses it to make wine, which has the effects of eliminating fatigue, removing poison and beautifying. If this wine is in China, it will definitely be loved by nobles and officials, and exchange for precious copper and iron for Lao Qin? Could this wine be better than the wine from his teacher's house?" "It's a pity that such a contribution is not enough to pass the test of his teacher... When can I complete the entrustment of my teacher, return to Qin like a hero, and marry the beautiful Cao'er sister?'

When she thinks of the pretty and cute beauty, Silde's heart is hot, but as long as she thinks of Bai Dong's request for him, her heart will become cold again.

He had actually proved his ability. This time he was thrown into the Western Regions by Bai Dong. He had only one guide around him, so what if he had enough food and water? He would lose his life if he met a pack of wolves and a Rong man with ulterior motives. Fortunately, he was lucky along the way and almost never encountered a large pack of wolves. The friendly Dayuezhi people became obsessed with his music. After listening to his "Our good place in Xinjiang", more than a dozen Dayuezhi girls with brown eyes and white skin said they wanted to marry him, and for his "little fresh meat". It is said that they almost fought for the duel.

However, when he passed through the Qiang people's control area, his guide died at the hands of the Qiang people, and he became a prisoner of the Qiang people. If he had not been taken by the Qiang people's "princess", he would have been cut off his tongue, his ears were deaf, and his butt was burned with charcoal to mark it, becoming a slave to the Qiang people. Is this the test of his mentor? He almost killed himself and turned into a devil.

In order to survive, he had to kill the Qiang man "princess" who once loved him deeply; in fact, this girl is very kind and cute, with black hair and big eyes. When she smiled, her curved eyes were like beautiful crescent moons, but he killed him without hesitation.

Just to complete the test of his mentor. Just to make the little teacher of Cao'er? On that full moon night, Silde slapped himself hard and knelt deeply in the direction of the Qiang tribe. Then he stood up and wiped away the tears, and from then on he forgot the cute Qiang girl completely.

He knew that he had successfully released the tiger in his heart. Even when he was trapped in the Xishijia City and commanded thousands of soldiers alone, the tiger was actually still hidden in his heart and had not been released. Now he did it.

Because he knew that in this place where the strong prey on the weak, even in the civilized China, if he did not have the amazing skills of his mentor, he would have to be a tiger to be considered a talent who could stand alone. There was no such ability as a dog, and his most powerful rival, Wu Zhuan, but he successfully possessed it!

In fact, when Bai Dong saw Silde for the first time, he could see the essence of this young man. He could command thousands of troops to fight on the battlefield at the age of sixteen. He would be a hero even if he didn't become a hero in the future. He ordered him to travel thousands of miles west but only gave him a guide, some food and water, to kill him, which was to stimulate his potential.

To manage the Western Regions and finally assimilate the various armies of the Western Regions, they must first conquer them. Bai Dong was not worried about the source of troops and equipment, but needed a genius and ruthless commander. Lao Qin could not only have the reform Shang Yang but did not kill the god Bai Qi.

"Mr., the head of the family reached an agreement with the Seks to jointly attack Tuyu Qiang and Seli Qiang..."

A Meng family member hurried over and reported to Silde with some concern; it was one of the more than a hundred Meng family members rescued by Silde from the Qiang people.

"What!"

Silder's face changed immediately.

The Meng family now needs to open a safe passage in the area controlled by Shengqiang, but even the Meng family believes that the Meng family now needs first to recuperate, rather than spending all the last little capital to actively attack Shengqiang.

But Meng Chenggong didn't think so. In his eyes, the biggest obstacle to the Meng family was the ancient Shengqiang tribe, and he urgently needed to prove himself.

In the eyes of the oldest Qiang tribe, the Chinese represent dark forces and must be eliminated. Therefore, when the Meng family took the gifts prepared by Bai Dong and the map of the Western Regions provided by the Fan family, and used the legendary deterrence of the "Pi Li Thunder Fire", it only made some of the "Shu Qiang" located on the edge of the Western Regions to buy it, but made huge sacrifices when crossing the area controlled by Sheng Qiang, and more than 10,000 tribesmen lost 30%. Now the location of the Meng family is just between the Sheng Qiang tribe and the Chenggu Rong, which is the center area controlled by the Huns in the future, and it is also the location where Zhang Qian once shepherded sheep.

Faced with the cunning Chenggu Zhurong and the powerful Shengqiang tribe, the Meng family could only use the conflict between them to survive. Fortunately, Chenggu Zhurong regarded the Meng family as a buffer between them and Shengqiang tribe. Shengqiang people were superstitious and only suppressed the Meng family, but did not dare to attack the entire clan. The legend of Bai Dong swept hundreds of thousands of grassland wolves with thunder and lightning fire was too scary. The Qiang people believed that this was the "dark god" who blessed the Chinese people to display their divine power, and their Baishi Tianshen must have entered a hundred years of sleep...

In just over a month, the Meng family had dozens of battles, and Silde, who brought Bai Zi's recommendation book, performed particularly outstandingly. On several occasions, he led more than a hundred tribesmen to defeat enemies that were several times more than him, making great contributions to the Meng family. But Meng Chenggong was still a little afraid of this young man. Naturally, he knew that the Meng family was just a criminal citizen and had no capital to bargain. However, he was still full of hope that a miracle would happen. If Meng Chenggong could defeat the largest Sheng Qiang tribe Tuyu and Seli Qiang, he might have the qualification to bargain with Lao Qin and Bai Zi?

Meng Chenggong knew that Silde had a reputation for retiring the Qin army in the Xi Family City, and also understood that Bai Dong intended to lead the Meng family soldiers, which was actually indirectly helping the convicted Meng family members; it was just an exiled family, who would want to control you? Moreover, if the Meng family was too strong in the Western Regions, they might be afraid of Lao Qin. If it was Bai Zi's disciple leader, it would make the emperor feel more at ease. But he was really unwilling to hand over the family soldiers to the hands of a young man in the Xi Family, even though this young man had gradually established a high reputation in the Meng family. The more than a hundred Meng family members rescued by Silde had long been devoted to this young man. Including their families, there were thousands of Meng family members who had recognized this cruel and ruthless young hero!

To make Lao Qin and Bai Zi look at each other with admiration, Meng Chenggong must do something, attacking the two major Shengqiang tribes in one fell swoop and opening a safe passage. Implementing Bai Dong's strategy to control the Western Regions was a great contribution! So before the Meng family's vitality was restored, Meng Chenggong urgently did it. He even hired a Qiang man who was familiar with the Chinese and Sek languages ​​at a high price as a translator, pledging his most trusted son and nephew to the Sek royal city, and promised to share the land controlled by the two major Shengqiang tribes with the Sek people after victory.

But in Silde's view, Meng Chenggong and the Secs were tantamount to entering into a contract with the beast, which was seeking death! Originally, whether the Meng family died or not had anything to do with him, but if the Meng family was finished, he would not be able to pass the test of his mentor. Does a loser have the face to go back to face the little teacher? Wu Zhuan is humble and may not say anything. However, he would be laughed at by Sang Wazi and Gou Shengzi.

After looking at the Meng family's son named Meng Fang, Silde pondered slightly, "If I were to take away some of the Xijia soldiers and enough supplies and equipment before the Meng clan leader sent troops, how many people would follow me?"

Meng Fang was startled: "Are you crazy, isn't your little husband? Although you are a student of Baizi and have saved hundreds of children of our clan, this behavior is to make the children in the clan betray the family and cannot enter the ancestral grave after death!"

"Before I came to the Western Regions, my teacher once told me about the origins of the Rongtu of the Western Regions, the strengths and weaknesses of the Rong of the Western Regions, and I know something about it... Do you know how my teacher evaluated the Sek people? My teacher said that among the Rong people in the city, the Sek people are the most powerful and cunning. When we are strong enough, they will become our friends; when we are weak, they will become our nightmare. Is the Meng family strong enough now? Compared with Tuyu and Seli Qiang, who have nearly 10,000 elite cavalry, what reason does the Sek people have to choose the Meng family? The Sek people can allow the Meng family to be a buffer between them and the Sheng Qiang tribe, but will not allow the Meng family to attack and destroy the two Sheng Qiang tribes, unless it is..."

Meng Fang is also a concubine in the Meng family's genealogy, but his lineage has enough influence in the Meng family's side. If he gets the help of his father and the support of the Meng family's children he had saved, it can affect more than a thousand people of the Meng family, and perhaps help the Meng family avoid this crisis. That's why Silde patiently explained to Meng Fang: "The Seks will not do anything that is beneficial, and their power is originally in the most western city area. Is there a Meng family used as a buffer? In fact, it has little impact on them. So why did the Seks risk offending the two major Shengqiang tribes and agree to form an alliance with the Meng clan leader?"

Meng Chenggong, who was eager to show, had no strategic vision, but Silde had it. Especially after hearing Bai Dong analyze the situation in the Western Regions and devoted himself to studying the Rongtus of the Western Regions, he knew more clearly what the Meng family should do and what not to do at this time. The abnormality of the Seks made him smell the danger.

"Mr. is it...the Secs have a conspiracy?"

"The legend left by his mentor is so amazing. Wouldn't the Seks worry about the Chinese who even feared the wolves of the grassland? King Seek, like the two major Qiang tribes, are powerful forces in the Western Regions. They have fought each other for hundreds of years, and although they have hatred, they may not think of swallowing each other. However, your Meng family is a new force entering the Western Regions. Although they were exiled, there is a powerful Qin State behind... If you were King Seek, what would you think?"

Silde sneered slightly: "The Qin people may not have much advantage when riding horses on the grasslands of the Western Regions. However, when it comes to building villages and defending against attacks from strong enemies, they are absolutely incomparable to the Rongs of the Western Regions. If the Seks and Sheng Qiang want to destroy the Meng family, the easiest way is to lure the elite soldiers of the Meng family... The mentor said. Don't think that these Rong people are simple-minded savages, in fact, each of them is the most cunning hunter!"...

Meng Fang heard this and felt a cold sweat: "Mr., I will take you to meet my father and uncles!"

"Very good! You should also inform us brothers who live and die together. Although they are all from the Meng family, there are also close and distant people, so they can convince the closest tribe brothers. They say that I was on Bai Zi's order to help the Meng family get out of this difficulty. If you believe in Lao Qin and Bai Zi, just follow me! The life and death of the Meng family is here, and I, Silde, dare not joke with the name of my mentor. Otherwise, will I go back to Lao Qin?"

"Mr. I am our savior, so we naturally believe in you. And with Bai Zi's name, more people will believe in you! I'll go immediately!"

***

Meng Chenggong sat in a simple camp, wearing half-body leaf armor that only Qin soldiers would wear, but was full of energy.

Meng Chenggong is finally going to succeed. At that time, Bai Zi is still thinking about Sild, a yellow-haired boy, leading the Meng family's soldier?

Bai Zi wanted to manage the Western Regions and assimilate foreign tribes. The first major resistance to the two Qiang tribes was to eliminate Tuyu Qiang and Seli Qiang. Open a channel from the Western Regions Corridor to the city wall and Zhurong. At that time, not only will the Meng family get benefits, but Bai Zi will also achieve great plans. At that time, in Bai Zi's eyes, would he, the head of the Meng family, be more trustworthy than Silde?

King Sek said it well. If the Qiang people were eliminated, China and Sek were the closest brothers. With the support of the most powerful Sek people among the Rongs in the city, Bai Zi's plan to manage "Xinjiang" will be implemented more smoothly. By then, the Meng family will be the biggest hero of the old Qin. Will there be difficulties in returning to the old Qin?

Meng Chenggong had already dreamed of the grand scene of leading his clan members to kneel down in the ancestral hall. The Meng family suffered a great disaster since the rebellion of the three clans. The clan members were either killed or exiled, but revived in his hands. From then on, his great achievements would be written into the genealogy, and his lineage naturally became the direct lineage of the Meng family! It turns out that if he survived the disaster, he would have good fortune. It turns out that he is this great blessing!

"Brother..."

Meng Li, wearing half-body leaf armor, walked into the tent. He was the brother of Meng Chenggong's compatriots and the leader of the tribe who was in charge of the Meng family's warriors. The Meng family now has 4,000 elite warriors, and he has 1,000 people in his hands.

"Third brother, are you ready for food, clothing and armor? This time, the attack on Qiang with the Sek people must not let King Seke underestimate it. Let him see the majesty of our old Qin soldiers, which is related to whether our Meng family can expand their ambitions in the Western Regions in the future and cooperate with Bai Zi to complete the major tasks."

"Brother, you should not mention Baizi..."

"Last brother, you are so brave! If it weren't for Bai Zi, I would have already fallen into the ground. How dare you be so disrespectful!"

"Brother! Bai Zi's disciple named Silde took the soldiers in our clan and ran away!"

"What!"

Meng Chenggong's expression changed drastically: "How many people did this kid take away?"

"There are 1,500 elite warriors, all of them were the old team of the Yongqi Jingqi back then! There are 2,000 men in the clan who can fight, and... and......"

"What else, say it!"

"There are eight hundred war horses, two thousand pairs of armor, countless weapons, bows and arrows...Brother! He took all the thunder bags that we fought hard with the Qiang people for many days, but they were only one hundred! They were all the family assets left by Bai Zi for the Meng family."

"How could my Meng family follow him? Why did he take so many war horses and martial arts away? Why no one noticed it! Meng Li, tell me, tell me!" Meng Chenggong was almost crazy.

"That boy saved more than a hundred tribe members that day, so it was not just a hundred people who thanked and trusted him... and during these days, the boy fought hard with the Qiang people. The boy always defeated more with less and his prestige rose day by day. The tribe members were talking privately, saying that he was Bai Zi's genius student. Even Bai Zi suffered his suffering on the battlefield. If the eldest brother handed over the Meng family's military power to him early, the Meng family would not have suffered heavy losses... Also, Meng Pei was also moved by this boy. It was his help that this boy could take away a lot of martial arts."

"It's outrageous! The prince misled me... Bai Zi misled me!"

Meng Chenggong listened to Meng Li's story and felt as if he was dead. The capital left by the elite soldiers of the Meng family and Bai Dong were his greatest trust, but now he was wrapped up by Silde, so what did he use to deal with the Qiang people?

"Brother, as agreed, our army will join forces with King Seke to fight against the Qiang people tomorrow. Now... can we still send troops?"

"Is that a big deal? Do you want the children of my clan to defeat the enemy with their fists? Pass my order, all the soldiers in the clan guard the base camp, and all the clansmen who go out to livestock must come back. It is the right thing to do to ensure that the base camp is not lost first."

Although Meng Chenggong was confused, he was not stupid yet. He naturally understood the jungle law of the strong in the Western Regions grasslands. Now half of the power of the Meng family has been taken away by Silde. Not to mention the Qiang people, maybe King Sek, who was originally an ally, would have the intention of annexing the Meng family...)

ps:??ps: Because of Mr. Ying Zheng's evil deeds in burning books, historical records about the Rongs of the Western Regions were only found in the Han Dynasty. Now we can only infer the ethnic groups of the Western Regions from the research of some later archaeologists, such as the recognized Qiang tribes, and the relatively powerful Sage people at that time, namely the Xixuya people. The Rongs of the Western Regions were actually the tribes and new ethnic groups divided by the Qiang tribes and other tribes. Their footprints were all over the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains of the Central Asian Asia, and they were defeated by the Dayuezhi in the Western Han Dynasty. From this, it was inferred that before the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Sage people had a strong power in Xinjiang.
