Chapter 611: The Qin Survivors
Huangfu Chaobo was overjoyed when he heard this. As expected, he finally couldn't find the territory of the Great Wall Legion's survivors. He didn't care about Shi A and others' obstruction, and led Jia Jing and others to the plank road. Seeing this, Shi A hurriedly led a group of shadow guards to run in front of the few people, took the lead on the plank road, and headed towards the island.
After walking for several miles, they could vaguely see an island in front of them. Huangfu Chaobo thought to himself, "At such a long distance, even if the weather is good, you can't see the situation in the middle of the lake. No wonder even if the weather is very good, you can't see the middle of the lake by the lake. Moreover, before the formation was pojiě, the island was covered by a layer of fog from the outside, which increased its concealment.
Besides, this place is located in the border area, and is basically dominated by Hu people. They are not good at fishing, so there are no fishing boats in the lake. But Huangfu Chaobo thought that from the end of Qin to the end of Han, there were hundreds of years. Isn't there a shortage of salt, iron and medicine on the island?
With these questions, Huangfu Chaobo and his party set foot on this island that no outsiders have set foot on for hundreds of years.
When stepping on the island, Huangfu Chaobo saw that several shadow guards who arrived first were confronting a group of people, but both sides There was no intention of confronting the opponent, just staring at the other party motionlessly.
When Huangfu Chaobo and his party arrived, a group of people came behind the other party. Huangfu Chaobo looked up and saw that the leader was an old man with gray hair and beard. Next to him stood an old man who was slightly younger than him. Behind the two of them stood several middle-aged men. Looking behind them, there were dozens of strong young people. Although the weapons on their bodies were not báchulái, they all put their hands on the hilts.
Looking at the clothes of these people again, they were all the clothes of the Han Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty. In this way, Huangfu Chaobo was more certain that he had found the descendants of the Great Wall Corps.
The white-haired old man also saw Huangfu Chaobo and his party who had just arrived on the island. Seeing Huangfu Chaobo surrounded by the crowd in military uniform, he knew that he was the person in charge, so he said: "Where did the distinguished guest come from?"
Huangfu Chaobo stepped forward and saluted, saying: "The boy came from the Central Plains and was entrusted to find the descendants of the two generals of the Pre-Qin Meng King. I don't know old sir.. . "As he said this, Huangfu Chaobo handed the map in Pang Tong's hand to a middle-aged man in front of the old man.
The old man took the map handed over by Huangfu Chaobo, opened it and immediately exclaimed: "How can the distinguished guest have the handwritten relics of our ancestors?"
Huangfu Chaobo was stunned. It was clearly a map, how did it become a handwritten letter? Looking up at the old man, his eyes suddenly bulged. The map in front of him disappeared, but became a letter.
The general meaning of the letter is that now that the Qin Dynasty has perished, the descendants of the two families and the soldiers of the Great Wall Corps do not need to hide, and can let the clansmen and the person holding the letter return to the Central Plains to live together, instead of staying in this borderland.
Although Huangfu Chaobo was stunned, he quickly reacted and said that he had accidentally rescued a person from the hands of bandits in Bingzhou a few years ago. This person handed this handwritten letter to him before his death, and then because of himself I don't understand the formation at all, so I didn't find the strategy of the formation until today, and then found it on the island in the lake.
After hearing what Huangfu Chaobo said, the old man hurriedly said that he and others were indeed the descendants of the two generals of King Meng and the Great Wall Corps. The old man was the current clan leader Meng Ping, and the younger one next to him was Wang Ding, a descendant of the Wang family. The people behind him were the guard commander and his clan soldiers.
Meng Ping handed the handwritten letter in his hand to the people around him and circulated it, and then said to Huangfu Chaobo: "The distinguished guest came from afar and brought the handwritten letter of the ancestors. I am not very scared. But for this matter of birth, please go to the mansion with me and I will talk to you in detail. "
Said, he turned and led everyone to the residence in the middle of the island.
Along the way, old man Meng Ping did not mean to hide anything from Huangfu Chaobo, and answered all of Huangfu Chaobo's questions.
Sure enough, as Huangfu Chaobo expected,
Wulangsuhai has expanded compared to reality. The entire lake is about 100 miles long from north to south and about 40 miles wide from east to west. There are several large and small islands in the center of the lake, about ten miles long and wide.
As early as the end of the Qin Dynasty, after the Great Wall Corps went south, the remaining army received the news of the destruction of the southward corps, and led the remaining personnel to retreat to these islands, and then used the formation that their ancestors had already arranged to hide the islands.
In the following hundreds of years from the end of the Qin Dynasty to the end of the Han Dynasty, the descendants of the Great Wall Corps multiplied generation after generation on this island. However, because they were far away from the Central Plains and secluded from the world, they lacked medical care and medicine. Over the past hundreds of years, several major white disasters and epidemics have reduced the number of Qin descendants to only more than 30,000 and less than 40,000 people now.
Even so, They still trained thousands of clan soldiers, and there were more than a thousand cavalry among them. Several islands covering dozens of square kilometers allowed them to maintain more than a thousand elite cavalry. Among the remaining thousands of soldiers, there were more than a thousand Daqin elite soldiers, which were the elite soldiers of the Daqin Empire that swept the world.
The descendants of the Qin and Wang clans used the Daqin training method to train nearly a thousand Daqin elite soldiers. As for other clan soldiers, there were hundreds of crossbowmen and halberd soldiers.
The group quickly arrived at the residence in the center of the island. It can be seen that this is a castle-like place, but the size is only the size of a large town. Old Man Meng saw the surprise of Huangfu Chaobo and others and said: "There are several islands in the lake, and there is a town on each island, with thousands to tens of thousands of people living in it."
Looking at the few people who knew everything about him, Huangfu Chaobo felt very strange. When did his charm become so great? Could it be that he could get them to join him as long as he found them?
Unfortunately, now, whether it is the tens of thousands of people or these soldiers and horses, they are just a dispensable Easter egg for him. Alas, if he had found them when he first came, maybe it would be a different scene.
After entering the largest house in the town, everyone sat down, and then the old man Meng Ping said: "Let the distinguished guests know that the ancestors of the past generations have passed down the ancestral precepts. If the descendants of the Great Wall Legion need to enter the world, they need to obtain a token of their ancestors."
Oh, where can I get the token of your ancestors? I said, how could it be such a simple thing? It turns out that the pit is here. So he said, "Meng Lao, how can that kid get this token?"
Meng Ping and Wang An looked at each other, took out an object from their arms, and handed it to Huangfu Chaobo, saying, "The ancestral precepts say that if these two items are handed over to the right person, he will find a way to get the token."
