以汉简里面记录的史实发散，写一个游戏故事剧本，文景之间，一个新被调到边塞的年轻戍卒，被卷入了盗卖武器的阴谋里，汉朝宫廷想要弄到良马，而匈奴人想要弄到汉人的铁弩，被监守自盗的戍卒队长，匈奴盗匪，汉人走私团伙，四处逢源的胡商，羌人部落，牵涉其中。
Xiao Xuan
He is a young horseman and sentinel in the Han dynasty. He is determined, naive, and ambitious. Xiao Xuan is tasked with delivering a pair of prized horses to the capital. During his journey, he discovers a plot involving his commander and learns about the corruption within the Han army. Despite being betrayed, he manages to escape with his life. Struggling to survive, Xiao Xuan seeks revenge and contemplates joining the Xiongnu to fight against the Han.
Commander Zhang
He is a corrupt commander within the Han army. He is powerhungry, greedy, and reckless. Commander Zhang conspires with horse dealers to steal two valuable horses from Xiao Xuan. His lust for power and wealth leads him to betray his duty and fellow soldiers. In his quest for personal gain, he willingly endangers others and disregards loyalty and law, ultimately getting caught in his own web of deceit.
Qiang Hu
He is a bandit leader from the Qiang people. He is strategic, ruthless, and charismatic. Qiang Hu leads a group of thieves that steals the horses from Xiao Xuan's possession. His strategic thinking allows them to evade capture and achieve their goals. Even though he promotes violence and plunder, Qiang Hu's intelligence and leadership make him a formidable figure on the frontier.
In those days, the Han dynasty was on the decline and the northern tribes were getting stronger.
The Xiongnu desired iron crossbows, while the Han desired fine horses.
The Qiang people were skilled at training horses and were willing to sell their horses cheaply.
However, the Han army was in disarray and the bandits were becoming more daring.
They stole horses from the frontier and sold them to the Xiongnu.
The merchants of the northern tribes came to the frontier to buy horses.
They would offer a low price and threaten to take the horses by force if the owner refused to sell.
The arms dealers of the Han also came to buy horses, offering unusually high prices.
If someone refused to sell, they would report it to their officials and accuse the horse owner of being in league with the bandits.
I spot the merchant at dusk, when the sun is still a burning red, and the desert dust is tinted with a reddish hue.
He's a man named Wei Yuan, flanked by four armed men.
They approach my camp with a sense of purpose, their footsteps steady in the sand.
Wei Yuan is a man who knows how to present himself.
His silk robes are immaculate, despite the dust that coats everything in this unforgiving landscape.
He wears a smile that doesn't quite reach his eyes as he dismounts his horse and approaches me.
"Good evening," he says, his voice smooth as silk.
"I see you have some fine horses here."
I watch him warily, my hand resting on the hilt of my sword.
I've dealt with men like Wei Yuan before, and I know that their smiles can hide a multitude of intentions.
"Yes," I say, keeping my tone neutral.
"They're good horses. Strong and fast."
Wei Yuan nods, his eyes assessing the horses with a practiced gaze.
"Yes, they are indeed. I'll give you a fair price for them."
He names a figure that's far below their true worth, and I shake my head.
"They're worth more than that."
Wei Yuan's smile never wavers.
"I'm afraid the markets on the frontier are unstable right now. Prices are fluctuating wildly. I'm offering you a fair deal considering the circumstances." I study him for a moment, trying to read between the lines.
There's something in his tone that suggests there's more to this than meets the eye.
"I appreciate your offer," I say finally.
"But I'm afraid I can't accept it. I have other buyers lined up who are willing to pay a fair price."
Wei Yuan's smile falters for just a moment before he regains his composure.
"Very well," he says smoothly.
"I understand that you have other options. But let me ask you this: do you know what happens to men who refuse to sell their horses to us?"
I feel a prickle of unease run down my spine as I realize where this is going.
"I'm not interested in playing games," I say firmly.
"I've made my decision, and I won't be swayed."
Wei Yuan's expression turns cold, his eyes glinting with a dangerous light.
"Very well," he says again, his voice dripping with menace.
Wei Yuan's smile fades, and his eyes turn cold as he replies, "Then you leave me no choice."
Wei Yuan nods, but his eyes flicker to his men.
It's a signal that I don't miss, and I see them spread out, forming a semi-circle around me.
I back away slowly, keeping the camp fire between us.
The horses stamp nervously, sensing the tension in the air.
I draw my sword, its familiar weight a comfort in my hand.
Wei Yuan's men draw their own weapons - two of them have curved daggers, while the other two have short swords.
Wei Yuan himself stays behind them, watching with a calculating gaze.
I keep my sword at the ready, shifting my weight onto the balls of my feet.
I know that I can't take on all four of them at once, but I'm not going down without a fight.
One of Wei Yuan's men lunges forward first, his sword flashing in the firelight.
I parry his strike easily enough, but before I can counterattack, another man circles around behind me.
I pivot quickly, trying to keep both men in my line of sight.
