Chapter 273 Things are going to change(2/2)
The Great Wall is thousands of miles away from Wuzhou Prefecture.
This is a desert world.
From the point of view, the vast field of vision is filled with yellow sand and floating soil. The climate is so bad that it is difficult for human beings to survive. However, this is the vanguard of foreigners from beyond the Great Wall to invade the Kangding Kingdom.
In the desert, there is only one flat land that can enter the Kangding Kingdom. This is not only a trade route, but also the only channel for foreign attacks. As long as this channel is guarded, foreigners can be resisted from outside the border.
Therefore, since ancient times, all dynasties have continuously strengthened this passage and built the ancient Han Pass, the most majestic pass in the world.
The ancient Hanguan Pass is located in the Gobi desert. The north and south are surrounded by dangerous Gobi deserts and mountains. There are few water resources in the desert, and it is windy and sandy all year round. It is easy to lose your way and is not conducive to long-distance treks. Therefore, as long as you guard the few passes,
You will be in an invincible position that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
It is precisely because of this that the ancient Han Pass was invaded by foreign tribes almost every year in history. As long as the foreign tribes could no longer survive, or the winter was unbearable and food reserves were low, they would invade the border, burn, kill and plunder the people of Kangding.
rations.
The ancient Han Pass was the first barrier against the nomadic tribes outside the Great Wall. It was the most powerful pass in the world. Since its establishment, it has been fighting against enemies outside the Great Wall for thousands of years.
No matter how the heroes of the world compete for the throne, even during the most chaotic period of the Warring States Period thousands of years ago, this most powerful pass in the world has not been lost and has always been a rock barrier against foreigners outside the Great Wall.
Since ancient times, how many heroic sons and daughters have shed their blood here to fight against foreigners.
Protect every inch of mountains and rivers and every inch of land behind you.
Generation after generation of people have paid for this with their blood.
Even in history, there are many ancestors and grandchildren who have shouldered the enemy together and died on the battlefield. They would rather die in battle than live in an ignoble existence, writing tragic epics and bloody stories of the children of the frontier and desert.
It is precisely because of the sacrifices of so many unknown heroes that this most majestic pass in the world, soaked in blood and fire, can stand for thousands of years without falling despite being burned by blood and fire. It has only been lost once in history. It is said that it was
Thousands of years ago, some people collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, colluded with internal and external forces, and allowed foreigners to enter the country. Thousands of loyal souls would rather die than surrender and were slaughtered.
But that period of history is too long.
It’s also too cruel.
After several dynasty changes...
The cycle of history...
Many unofficial histories and official histories have disappeared...
And the only people who remembered that period of history were turned into bones and loess...
People have forgotten who the traitor was.
Outside the desert, wind and sand are everywhere, and a long stretch of yellow sand appears at the end of the sky. They cover the sky and the sun, and in the Gobi Desert, which is as vast as an endless ocean of yellow sand, they raise a high wall of yellow sand, connecting the sky and the earth, toward this world's largest road.
The ancient Han Pass at Yixiong Pass is coming.
This is the great power of heaven and earth.
Non-human beings can compete.
Even the most majestic pass in the world, with tens of thousands of troops stationed there, looks so insignificant in front of this power of heaven and earth.
Anyone who lives in the northwest desert knows that a big sandstorm is coming.
Haunting by the wind.
Sandstorms are getting closer to Xiongguan.
At this time, it was difficult for both men and horses to distinguish the direction.
But at a high place on a barren mountain outside Xiongguan, nearly a hundred big men were lined up side by side.
These big men have rough, dark skin, with a slightly reddish-black complexion on their cheeks that only comes from living outside the Great Wall all year round, and their clothing is different from that of the people in Kangding.
These people are all foreigners outside the Great Wall.
The skin is exposed to wind, sand and sun all year round, so it is extremely rough and dark, lacking the fine skin and tender flesh of the people of Kangding.
In front of these foreign men, stood a few people in rich attire.
The clothing materials of these people are very luxurious. Even in Kangding, a country with rich products, they are all fine silk pieces that only princes and nobles can afford. And after traveling long distances, these silks were brought to the outside of the Great Wall by merchants outside the Great Wall, where products are scarce, and the prices are high.
It can be doubled several times, and it is not an exaggeration to say it is equivalent to gold.
The status of these people outside the Great Wall is obviously very high.
You can tell one thing or two from the respectful manners of the hundreds of men outside the wall.
The direction they were looking at at the moment was the Ancient Han Pass, the most powerful pass in the world.
