Liangzhou was originally one of the three states belonging to Jin'an. After the three families were divided into Jin, Zhao Mingheng became the king here and established the Wu Zhao Dynasty.
This place is located in the north of the Central Plains. Because Shunzhou blocks it in the north, Liangzhou will not directly face the barbarians in the wilderness. However, it is also rich in fine horses. Liangzhou horses are even taller than the war horses of Shunzhou and Yingzhou. Liangzhou Iron Cavalry It also made all the major forces in the Central Plains afraid.
The Yingxiao Army commanded by Zhao Mingheng during the Jin'an Dynasty was based on the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry.
The Eagle Screaming Army is the vanguard among the three armies of Jin'an. It rushes thousands of miles like an eagle soaring in the sky, as fast as the wind, with horse hooves like thunder, and with a war roar that shakes the sky, just like the roar of an eagle.
The roar of an eagle is like an arrow, powerful as breaking bamboo; the roar of a lion is like a knife, cutting through thorns; the fierce tiger is like a shield, indestructible; these are the three armies of Jin'an that once swept across the world without any disadvantage.
Among the three states of Jin'an, Liangzhou is inextricably linked with the Yingxiao Army. Most of the soldiers of the Yingxiao Army are descendants of Liangzhou. Therefore, it is logical for Zhao Mingheng to occupy Liangzhou later.
When Wu Zhao was first established, there was not much difference between this place and other forces, and there were frequent exchanges with each other, because Jin'an was already prosperous and the people's lives were relatively prosperous, but all this changed eight years later.
That year, Zhao Mingheng suddenly ordered the country to be closed to the outside world, strictly prohibiting any trade and personnel exchanges, and used thunderous means to dig out all the spies and spies planted by the major forces in Wu Zhao.
As a result, the intelligence from Liangzhou became less and less, Wu Zhao became more and more mysterious, and the surrounding major forces did not start a war against Liangzhou. From then on, Liangzhou became an isolated island.
There are rumors in the Central Plains that King Wu Zhao was cruel and cruel, killing officials and people wantonly, and no one was spared, including scholars, farmers, and merchants. Such a tyrant made the sky angry and people resentful, and demons descended from the sky to Liangzhou.
This statement is quite nonsense. No matter whether it is in the temple or in the rivers and lakes, anyone with a little bit of brains will laugh it off. This matter is only spread among the people as a miracle and it is true.
However, terrifying roars do come from the border of Liangzhou from time to time. The sounds sound like beasts but not beasts, like humans but not humans, and are extremely evil.
Most outsiders don't know what exactly happened in Liangzhou.
Ankang County belongs to Tongchuan County in the northernmost part of Liangzhou. It is very close to Shunzhou. It only takes half a day's walk from Jiuyan City, the nearest city to Shunzhou, to cross the border between the two Koreas and enter Dashun territory.
There is a village not far to the west of Jiuyan City called Sanyang Village. It is the largest village nearby. At its most prosperous year, it had a population of 1,000 young people and more than 5,000 women, children, old and young. Villages of this size can be found all over the Central Plains. All very rare.
Just when Chu Zhongan and others arrived in Yingzhou, at noon, in Sanyang Village, a thin-looking young man was walking hurriedly in the village. He looked around from time to time, as if he was on guard for something.
At this time, Sanyang Village has long lost the bustle of the past. Not only are there no people on the roads in the village, but there is also very little smoke from cooking stoves. Among the scattered village houses, few have fires for cooking, and there is very little smoke from cooking stoves.
Seeing no one around, the young man quickened his pace and almost ran into a house.
This seemingly ordinary house turned out to have something else going on. He opened a large dustpan that was turned upside down in the yard, and picked up a gun bag underneath, revealing a rough hole that could accommodate one person.
The young man jumped into the hole without saying a word. He put the sack and dustpan back into place, covering the entrance of the hole, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and crawled into the hole.
This hole is not big enough for an adult to crawl forward, and the digging method is not very clever. Sand and soil will fall from time to time. It does not look like a secret tunnel dug by spies or spies.
The young man climbed for about as long as a cup of tea. The entrance of the cave finally became larger. He was quite fast and had climbed a long distance.
Finally reaching the end of the cave, the young man skillfully jumped into a cave. Although it was rough, it was much more detailed than the previous cave and could accommodate dozens of people at the same time.
There are more than ten cave entrances of different sizes around the cave. Although these cave entrances have different shapes, it can be seen that they are the same thing as the cave the young man crawled into. It can be seen that there are more than ten entrances to the cave.
At this time, there were already more than twenty people waiting in the cave.
Staying here, one of the haggard middle-aged men with resolute eyes saw the young man arriving and said, "Su Qi, you are finally here, how is the old lady?" Everyone present respected him, which shows that this middle-aged man He's the leader of this group of people.
The skinny young man known as Su Qi forced out a smile and said: "What else can I do? I am bedridden and can barely hold on. Nowadays, it is difficult to find good doctors in Liangzhou, and even medicinal materials are extremely difficult to find."
One of them, a young man in somewhat tattered clothes, pouted and said, "Brother Su Qi, let alone medicinal materials, even food is getting less and less. Before long, even if we don't get sick, we will starve to death." it's here!"
The middle-aged leader nodded and said seriously: "Tie Wa is right. After the sudden change of Zhao Mingheng's Eagle Screaming Army, there is no safe place in Liangzhou anymore, whether in the city or the suburbs."
"Our Sanyang Village was so prosperous back then. Everyone was well fed and clothed. After the Jin'an Dynasty was overthrown by the three great female cadres, we were like animals locked in a cage, and there were countless hungry wolves in this cage. Tiger!" The middle-aged man became more and more excited as he spoke, and he clenched his fist tightly.
Calling the king by his name while thinking about his homeland is a death penalty no matter where he is. However, the middle-aged man said these words without hesitation.
"Chief Wanye, where should we go? My parents have been killed by those terrible guys. Their spirits in heaven definitely don't want to see me starve to death..." Tie Wa said with a tearful voice.

Wan Ye is the current village chief of Sanyang Village. He is already the fifth village chief here after Liangzhou closed its doors to the country. The first four village chiefs are all dead.
"Tiewa, don't get excited yet, listen to me!" Wanye spoke seriously, and Tiewa immediately shut his mouth.
When Wan Ye saw no one spoke to him, he continued: "Today's Liangzhou has become a devil's cave. There were originally more than 6,000 villagers in Sanyang Village, but now there are only more than 300 people left. If this continues, we will all die here. , no one, no matter male, female, old or young, is spared!"
Everyone present looked excited, and the most common expression on their faces was fear.
Wan Ye glanced at everyone and said loudly: "I can see that you are all afraid. Who can face death calmly? I am also afraid of death, and I am even more afraid that my fellow villagers will die in front of me." His tone was low. A lot.
Su Qi looked firmly and said: "Brother Wan, I know that with your temperament you will never say such depressing words. Do you have any ideas? Please tell me quickly so that everyone can talk about it!"
Everyone showed a look of expectation when they heard the words, and everyone's eyes were focused on Wan Ye.
Wan Ye nodded lightly and said with a serious expression: "I am the village chief elected by everyone. Since everyone trusts me, I hope that I can lead everyone to survive. Now we are the only young people left in the village. Some things have to be decided by us!"
Su Qi said loudly: "Brother Wanye, just tell me if you have anything to do, and I will definitely support you!"
Tiewa also said: "Village Chief, I want to live. We all want to live. As long as we can live, we will do anything!"
People around him kept echoing, and almost everyone burst out with a desire for life.
"In that case, let me tell you, I have been thinking about this matter for a long time. Instead of waiting for death in the village, we in Sanyang Village should give it a try!" Wan Ye said excitedly.
Tie Wa was confused and frightened and said, "What do you mean? How can we give it a try? Do we need to fight those monsters to the death?"
Su Qi was thoughtful, and a flash of understanding flashed across his face as he said, "Brother Wanye, do you mean we have to flee as a whole village?"
Wan Ye glanced at Su Qi with admiration, and then said: "Yes, our Sanyang Village is very close to Dashun. As long as we break out of the border, we can enter Shun Prefecture, and we can escape!"
Everyone present looked frightened when they heard this.
Su Qi said bitterly: "It sounds easy, but it is so difficult to do. Although the border is not all surrounded, it is heavily guarded. Maybe they are all monsters. Even if we rush to the border, how can we escape? Everyone in the village will die there!"
Wan Ye solemnly said: "If you rush out, you will survive nine deaths. If you don't go out, you will die ten times."
Wu Sheng, I have contacted several nearby villages. Let's all rush into battle and risk our lives. If we can escape one by one, it is better than being trapped here! "
Su Qi had a heavy look on his face when he heard this. He knew how desperate Wan Ye was to make such a decision, because in the past few years, Liangzhou people had almost been enveloped in this atmosphere of despair.
Thinking of his mother who was bedridden and unable to survive without treatment, he finally made up his mind and said: "No matter what, I will die, I am willing to fight with Brother Wan Ye!"
"I am willing too. Although I am also afraid of death, I am even more afraid of being trapped in the village. Since there is hope of escape, let's come. I, Tiewa, will fight too!" Tiewa said as if he was ready to die.
Most of the more than 20 people present expressed their support, but a handful of people chose to remain silent.
Wan Ye said with a heavy expression: "For such a big event, I will never force it. If you agree to go, hurry up and prepare. We will set off after nightfall. Life or death depends on your fate! The same is true for those villages. It doesn't matter if you don't want to leave. Ask for more. blessing!"
Everyone discussed some more details before slowly dispersing. Only Su Qi and Wan Ye were left in the cave. Su Qi said seriously: "Brother, how confident are you of charging into the formation like this? How many of us are there?" Can you escape?"
Wan Ye seemed to be discouraged at this time. He smiled bitterly and said, "If I tell you that I am not sure, will you regret it?"
Su Qi shook her head and said, "I will never regret it. I believe that Brother Wanye will never harm us!"
"Now Liangzhou has ten houses and nine empty houses. If you stay here, death is a foregone conclusion for you and me. There is still a glimmer of hope for us to escape. Su Qi, let me tell you, there may not be many people in the village who can escape, but I will definitely be the first one to die." Wan Ye's eyes were firm, and there was a faint light shining on his fists.
