A dustpan, also known as a dustpan or broom, refers to a braided device such as bamboo strips or wicker used for winnowing grain. It has three sides and an open side.
Jizhou, which is adjacent to Liuyun County, has such a terrain, like a huge broom, with mountains in the east, south and north directions, completely surrounding Jizhou City.
The direction of the opening is to the west, that is, the Xia Kingdom, with its back to the Zhou Dynasty, which is the place that military strategists say is "easy to defend but difficult to attack".
It was originally Ji County in Huangzhou of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After it was occupied by the Xia Kingdom, it was renamed "Jizhou".
Blue sky and white sun.
In the direction leading to Jizhou City, hundreds of people were riding tall horses, each with one person and two horses.
This group of people had bare heads, with only two dirty braids on their sideburns and a pig tail-like braid on the back of their heads, which was obviously different from Da Zhou's attire.
They all have an eagle head tattooed on their foreheads. They are the Black Eagle Army that raided Nagoya Town.
Deputy Lieutenant Tuoba Tao rode a big black horse with a beautiful woman on the horse.
The woman's clothes were torn to pieces, and she was leaning on the horse with her eyes blank, like a walking corpse, letting Tuoba Tao do what he did to her.
After a burst of crazy output, Tuoba Tao's face flushed, and he suddenly roared, trembled, a burst of heat rose on his face, and then he exhaled a long breath.
He looked down at the dead woman beneath him and suddenly became upset. He slapped her face and said angrily: "Bitch! Do you really want to die that much?"
Fingerprints appeared on the woman's face on the spot, and her mouth was bleeding, but she was as motionless as if she was dead.
The more Tuoba Tao watched, the angrier he became. After yelling "bitch", he broke her neck and threw her off the horse like a chicken.
"Sir, why don't you try this on me?"
At this time, a lean man approached on horseback, with a woman also sitting on the horse.
Compared to the corpse-like woman just now, there was no trace of fear or anger on this woman's face. Instead, she looked like she was enjoying herself.
Tuoba Tao looked at the woman and said disgustedly: "I've been played with by a fucking animal like you, but you still have the nerve to give it to me?"
The lean man said indifferently: "Sir, don't you see how sexy this little girl is? This is interesting!"
"roll!"
Tuoba Tao cursed angrily and raised his hand to hit him. The lean man was so frightened that he quickly hid aside.
The lean man pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Sir, it's no wonder Xiao Xiao is so small! This time we robbed only villages, how can there be any good stuff? Just make do with what you have."
Tuoba Tao's expression was changing, which made the lean man uneasy.
"Sir, how about... how about we go back and grab another one?" the lean man said cautiously.
Tuoba Tao snorted coldly and said, "Do you think that's your home? You can rob it as much as you want?"
The lean man smiled and said: "Hey! All those men in Zhou Kingdom are dressed more colorfully than the women. They all have silver spears and wax hair, and they are useless. It's a pity that the fertile land actually raised A bunch of timid rabbits!"
"What do you know? Don't underestimate those rabbits, otherwise sooner or later they will bite you to pieces!" Tuoba Tao said with a solemn expression.
In this raid, they returned with a disastrous defeat. There were only three or four hundred Black Eagles left out of a thousand. The reason for this great defeat was because of the appearance of one person.
"Wang Cheng, who are you?"
Tuoba Tao will never forget that person, he was an extremely terrible person.
This time they attacked a thousand Black Hawks in Ma Tou Town, and half of them died at the hands of that man. This was a tragic loss they had never experienced since they became famous.
It's a pity that he was just a little bit away from keeping Wang Cheng forever that night.
Having missed that opportunity, he didn't know how long he would have to wait for the next one, maybe it would never come again.
Three to four hundred people, one person and two horses, traveled very fast and arrived at the mountain range east of Jizhou at noon.
The mountain range is hundreds of meters high, like a huge city wall that stretches across it. It is steep and steep with no visible entrances and exits, blocking people from entering and exiting.
This cannot stop the Black Hawk Army. They are too familiar with this place and every trail.
A group of Black Eagle soldiers came to the foot of the mountain and dismounted. All the women they had snatched from the villages in Yinshan County were killed by them and left on the road.
In their eyes, women are no different from goods. They are used when needed and thrown away when not needed.
The foot of the mountain is covered with pine trees, and there are also many trees growing on the hillside, with lush branches and leaves.
Everyone was holding a horse in one hand, and the other horse was carrying some bags, all of which were snatched from Yinshan County.
Tuoba Tao walked at the front and entered the forest with ease, and everyone followed carefully behind.
In a moment, three to four hundred people plus six to seven hundred horses disappeared into the forest. From the outside, it was impossible to see what was going on inside. It really seemed like they had disappeared from the world.
Of course, it is impossible for so many people to disappear at once. In fact, there is another world in the forest.
There is a long and narrow path along the hillside, which is covered with grass. You can't find it without walking on it yourself.
This group of Black Hawks walked straight up the mountain along this secret path. After about half an hour, they reached the top of the mountain.
Suddenly, an eagle cry came from the top of the mountain.
"Stop bragging! It's your grandfather and I'm back!" Tuoba Tao laughed and cursed.
"Swish swish!"
The next moment, a burst of feather arrows was shot at him, and he didn't even try to dodge.
As if knowing that these arrows could not hit him, he stood there motionless.
Sure enough, all those arrows missed him by chance.
"Hahahaha! Your Excellency is indeed an adult!"
A burst of hearty laughter came, and suddenly dozens of figures flashed out from the top of the mountain.
These people wear green leafy hats on their heads and dark green clothes. Once they squat down, they are difficult to spot by outsiders.
The one who laughed was a burly man. He jumped from the top of the mountain to Tuoba Tao, but his next step was not to welcome the boss, but to reach out and grab a gray cloth bag hanging on Tuoba Tao's waist.
Tuoba Tao remained motionless and allowed him to take away the gray bag.
The burly man opened the bag with a smile, lowered his head and looked inside. The smile suddenly froze on his face, and he asked in shock: "Why are there so few?"
Tuoba Tao sighed and said, "It will be good to come back alive this time."
The burly man was startled when he heard this. What does his master mean by this?
Tuoba Tao grabbed the gray cloth bag and tied it around his waist, saying: "Okay! Go back and talk!"
He led the horse towards the top of the mountain, and the people behind him followed dejectedly.
Climbing to the top of the mountain, you will see a city that is slightly larger than Liuyun County.
This city is Jizhou City, which was also called Jixian County many years ago.
Different from the heavy vicissitudes of Liuyun County, Jizhou City seemed to have been ravaged by wind and rain day and night. The city walls were dilapidated, covered with moss, and in dilapidated condition.
Tuoba Tao led a group of men into the city and immediately rushed out of the streets and alleys with a group of people.
This group of people were all teenagers, wearing rags and ragged clothes, and their hairstyles were also in the typical Xia style. They rushed to Tuoba Tao one by one, as if they were seeing gods, kneeling on the ground and shouting devoutly. .
"My lord is back!"
"The Black Eagle of the Nine Heavens, our great warrior, Master Tuoba is back!"
…
Tuoba Tao casually took a bag from the horse behind him, opened it and took out a pile of food.
There are air-dried whole chickens, smoked rabbits, and sun-dried bacon.
He casually took out a pile from it and threw it to a group of boys kneeling on the ground.
"Little cubs, here comes the food!"
Hearing this, a group of half-grown men quickly got up from the ground and jumped up to grab it.
"OK!"
Tuoba Tao's face was filled with a smile. Every time he went to the Dazhou border to clear grass in the valley, he liked this moment the most.
He liked the feeling of being worshiped by the world, even if the person kneeling below was a child.
Children are better, because children are easier to cultivate and it is easier to plant some seeds in their hearts.
Tuoba Tao threw the entire bag into the air and said with a "haha" smile: "Little cubs! Eat well and drink well. Grow up quickly and follow me to the east to rob women, rob food, and rob gold!"
"Stealing women!"
"Robbing for gold!"
…
A group of half-grown children cheered and cheered, as if hearing the most beautiful note in the world.
Tuoba Tao laughed and led everyone through the crowd.
Such a loud noise naturally alarmed other people in the city, and many people poked their heads out of the house.
Some people ran out to celebrate, some were hiding behind doorframes with complicated expressions, and some were mumbling something unknown. Judging from the shape of their mouths, they should be swearing.
At this time, a middle-aged man came running from the street. He was so panicked that even the hat on his head was tilted.
He was in his thirties or forties and was wearing a red robe, which was completely different from the clothes worn by other people on the street.
The red robe is eighty-nine times similar to the official robes of Dazhou, but there is a piece of white cloth patched in the front of the robe, with a black eagle flying high embroidered on it, which is neither fish nor fowl.
The middle-aged man ran to Tuoba Tao, stretching his knees with tired hands.
He panted and said: "Sin! Sin! I didn't know that my lord returned to the city today and came and went!"
Tuoba Tao took advantage of him to squat down and took off his official hat, revealing his shiny bald head.
He took the opportunity to touch the head and said with a smile: "Old Liu, Old Liu, your head is getting brighter and brighter. It's even brighter than the urinal I use!"
Being teased in front of so many people, Liu Qingsheng not only did not get angry, but instead licked his face and smiled: "My lord is laughing at me, but this official is just fine with his head."
Tuoba Tao squinted his eyes, casually put his official hat on his head, patted his face, and said, "Do it well! I won't treat you badly."
"Yes! A lower-ranking official must do his best to repay the kindness of your Majesty." Liu Qingsheng said respectfully.
He then looked at the group of people behind Tuoba Tao and asked doubtfully: "Sir, why didn't you see Captain Tuoba Tao?"
Captain Tuoba is Tuoba Tao's eldest brother. The two have always been inseparable from each other. They do everything together, even sharing women.
"died!"
