Chapter 1206
When resting at night, it is undoubtedly the most comfortable to be able to lie on the soft bed, but unfortunately this is just a luxury for the horse thieves, the road they walk is rugged and difficult, the more materials they carry, the slower they walk, the greater the difficulties they have to face, so, in order to travel as fast as possible, they must abandon all the items they can discard, carry the bed board and set off, which is obviously very unrealistic, even the horse thief leader does not have such treatment, but the horse thief leader's tent is larger, There are special blankets and bedding inside, which can be spread on the ground, and there are multiple blankets, the dirtiest and hardest are spread on the bottom, and the good soft ones are spread on the top.
These soft bedding is relatively easy to carry, and the hard bed, when carrying, will be very troublesome, so, horse thieves would rather carry more bedding, rather than carry a long and hard bed, this thing is really not carried, and on the way to the halfway, the temporary production of bed boards, obviously is also very inappropriate, horse thieves are very tired, there is no such leisure to make a temporary bed, at most is to pick up some dry branches to spread under the body, in order to isolate the cool is almost.
However, there are also more intelligent horse thieves, who will put the charcoal ashes they have picked up under the dry branches they have picked up, because the charcoal still has some residual heat, and the residual heat can last for a long time, so it is very comfortable to spread these things under them, and there is no need to worry about the cold at night.
The foal and the fat man picked up a lot of charcoal fires and spread them under the dry branches, of course, these charcoal fires only have residual heat, and there is no need to worry about the resurrection of the ashes, and the whole person is cooked, and generally this kind of thing will not happen, and the tent is very simple, even if there is a fire, they will soon be able to escape, these horse thieves are thieves, and they will not be indifferent to watching themselves being roasted.
The charcoal fire under the body is still very effective, the temperature is transmitted to the dry branches through the charcoal fire, and when the temperature of the dry branches is high, the temperature will be transmitted to the clothes above, and after the clothes are warm, people sleeping on them will naturally be warm.
The fat man soon fell asleep, and the foal, because he had something on his mind, had not yet fallen asleep, and he heard the movement outside, and knew that One-Eye and the leader of the horse thieves had eaten and drunk enough, so he got up and walked out of the tent.
He saw from a distance that the leader of the horse thieves was walking towards the place where the boxes were stacked, probably not worrying about the treasures piled up there, and he could only be relieved to take a look at them himself, while One-Eye went for a walk nearby.
The foal follows One-Eye, ready to discuss something with One-Eye.
"Little Pony, why aren't you sleeping?"
One-eyed asked when he felt someone behind him, seeing that it was a foal.
The foal smiled and said, "I ate too many steamed buns, my stomach is not very comfortable, and I can't sleep!" It should be better to come out and take a walk. ”
"Haha! Me too, go for a walk and go back to sleep, the pheasant meat is good today, you did a good job. ”
One-eyed spoke.
"Little meaning, this is nothing, if Brother Yan likes it, as soon as I have a chance in the future, I will go to hunt pheasants, so that you can eat pheasant meat every day, however, there must be pheasants on the road, along the way, we all have to walk in this wood, such a road is too difficult to walk, the only advantage is that you can meet pheasants, you can hunt some game to satisfy your hunger."
The foal spoke.
This is said without leakage, and there is no problem with how you listen to it, and it doesn't look like you're inquiring about the news at all.
One-Eye did not have the slightest doubt, perhaps in a good mood, and he said, "It's a difficult journey! Basically, the road conditions are like this, there will definitely be no less pheasants, after entering the Lushui River Valley in Yingzhou, the road will become much easier to walk, crossing the river is the most difficult to walk, after crossing the river, the road condition will be much better. ”
This casual sentence revealed that the Lushui River Valley was the only way for horse thieves, and when he heard this, the little colt was naturally very happy, and this was what he was waiting for.
"In this way, every night when I rest, I will be able to go hunting pheasants."
The foal said happily.
"Yes! It would be nice to be able to fight more, two are too few. ”
One-Eye doesn't seem to be fully fed, and it seems that even if he fights four or five, he won't have the fat man's share, nor the foal's, and in the end, all these delicacies will be packed into the belly of One-Eye and the leader of the horse thieves, which is really unfair.
However, the foal is not a foodie, he doesn't have much interest in eating and drinking, he doesn't care who he brings the pheasant for, he has been looking forward to leaving the group of horse thieves as soon as possible and living a normal life.
In the days that followed, the foal would follow the team of thieves and provide the foal with a sufficient number of pheasants as needed to cover the foal's undercover mission.
As for the pheasant in the hand of the foal, it was naturally prepared a long time ago, and every time he came to meet the foal, he was alone, but he was not really the only one, behind him, there were at least a dozen soldiers to support him, including providing pheasants and other game, and it was also necessary to provide live fresh pheasants, if the pheasants were dead, they would soon become frozen chickens in the winter, and the leader of the horse thieves and others were not fools, and they could see the flaws at once.
More than a dozen soldiers, catching pheasants in the woods, this is not difficult, their task is this, in addition to pheasants, they also catch some common wild birds alive, as long as they need it, they can provide it to the foal at any time to assist the foal in completing the task.
The speed of the horse thief's march was too slow, according to the news from the front-line scouts, it would take about three days to reach the Lushui River Valley, and it was too boring to always wait nearby, Li An felt quite boring, so he decided to go to the field with Lao Guo to have fun and see the scenery of fame.
Liangshuijing Village, not far away, has already been seen, and there are still many places of interest around, but for the general monuments, Li An does not have much interest, because the time is very limited, or to see the most meaningful places of interest is the most appropriate.
Li An stared at Yuntai Mountain dozens of miles away, the scenery of that place is very good, although he has not been there in person, but he always hears others say this, and he can't help but have some yearning in his heart.
The reason why this Yuntai Mountain is called Yuntai Mountain is because the topography of this location is very good, there is a record in this book, there is a natural lion stone in front of it, Ganlin Land, and there is a fairy bridge again, which is absolutely like a rooftop, hence the name, which shows that the terrain of Tiantai Mountain is very peculiar, and it is a place with excellent scenery.
This mountain is tall and handsome, hundreds of miles of mountains in the north, five miles in the south is the confluence of the Kuye River and the Yellow River, under the steep mountain cliff in the east is the surging Yellow River, and the rolling Kuye River in the west passes the foot of the mountain from north to south. Tiantai Mountain is more than 500 meters high, which is already very high.
In the Ming Dynasty, there was a Tiantai Mountain Temple built on the top of the mountain, and later it was expanded and repaired to a certain extent, until later generations, this Tiantai Mountain Temple still exists, and in this Tiantai Mountain Temple, there are still nearly 100 murals and inscriptions in later generations, which have extremely high cultural and artistic value.
The ancient buildings of Tiantai Mountain that exist in later generations, the length is as high as two kilometers, the southernmost point is the towering mountain gate, there are dozens of meters of stone cave, there are more than 200 stone steps in the hole, there are three big characters of Nantianmen on the hole, all are carved up, there are nine layers of temple built from the mountain gate stone cave to the north.
Tiantai Mountain not only has many ancient buildings, but also the scenery is also very good, one side is the undulating mountains, the other side is the turbulent Yellow River, all kinds of vegetation is everything, there are countless more, all kinds of wild animals are also very much, it is simply a paradise for wild animals.
However, at this time, it was still the Tang Dynasty, so there was no huge ancient building complex on the top of Tiantai Mountain, it was a building of the Ming Dynasty, how could the Tang Dynasty have it? However, even if there is no perfect ancient building complex, as long as this place exists, it is enough, and the specific direction, Li Ang is very clear, so it is easy to find this place.
"What, if you want to go to the edge of the Yellow River, it's not close! How many tens of miles? ”
Lao Guo was a little surprised when he heard Li An's request, paused, and said: "Didn't you say okay, just hunting nearby, looking at the scenery or something, why do you suddenly have to run so far?" ”
Regarding Lao Guo's doubts, Li An naturally wanted to answer them seriously, he smiled and said: "Lao Guo, I haven't seen the Yellow River for a long time, let's go to the river to blow the wind, isn't it good?" ”
"Running dozens of miles, just to go to the Yellow River to blow the wind, Li Shilang is really good Yaxing, and he wants the old man to accompany him?"
Lao Guo seemed a little reluctant, it took so much effort to fight the horse thieves, and he endured it in such a big circle, after all, Li An was also for the good of the soldiers, so that the soldiers did not have to die, but running so far to blow the wind by the Yellow River seemed a little capricious, and Lao Guo was a little old, and it was enough to run such a long way, and the bumps back and forth were enough.
"If Lao Guo doesn't want to go, forget it, it's okay for me to go alone, just bring enough guards."
Li An said.
The most basic understanding should still be there, Lao Guo is old, it will be very hard to toss back and forth, Li An is relatively young, but Lao Guo is really a little old, and it is indeed a little capricious to go to the Yellow River dozens of miles away with him to blow the wind.
"Alright! I'll hand over the best fifty guards to Li Shilang, and I'll not go, it's too far. ”
Lao Guo said.
Since Lao Guo has expressed his position like this, Ang Li naturally can't be strong, that would be too much.
"Lao Guo, I have guards, a dozen people are enough, why do you bring so many guards?"
Li An said.
To enjoy the scenery is not to fight, and it is indeed redundant to lead too many soldiers and horses.
Lao Guo thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, let's do it!" I'll let my guards follow you for three or five miles, and only let three guards follow you, that's fine. ”
The outside world is full of dangers, and no one can guarantee that they will not encounter unforeseen dangers, and it is always wrong to be conservative, so as not to be at a loss when encountering real dangers.
"Alright! Then I'll let my fifty guards walk in front of the way, and only six people with me, plus myself, there are only ten people in total, so that it is not easy to attract the attention of others. ”
Li An said.
After deciding, Li An immediately sent fifty guards to set off in advance, and the map was drawn by Li An with his own impression, so there should not be much discrepancy.
After the escort set off for ten miles, Li An led a total of nine guards to run along the official road in the direction of Tiantai Mountain, in this era, there is no concept of Tiantai Mountain, maybe no one knows this place at all, after all, the world of Datang is too big, there are good mountains and rivers everywhere, a mountain peak by the river, it is naturally not easy to attract the attention of others, but Li An just wants to see, he wants to see the scenery of Tiantai Mountain in the Tang Dynasty, what is the difference between the scenery of Tiantai Mountain in later generations.
The scenery along the way is very good, Ang Lee is enjoying the scenery, while moving slowly, encountering a very good scenic place, and even deliberately stop to enjoy a little more, anyway, there is nothing urgent to deal with, come out to play and enjoy the scenery, there is nothing more exciting than playing and enjoying the scenery.
Dozens of miles is not a short distance, it takes a long time, but the speed of riding a horse is very fast, and it can be reached in a few hours, and it will definitely be able to arrive in the morning and afternoon.
When encountering a place with good scenery, Ang Lee will choose to walk slowly, or even stop for a while, but when there is no good scenery, Ang Lee will gallop at full speed and travel at the fastest speed, so that the speed of travel is really not slow, and in the afternoon, he has arrived at Tiantai Mountain.
At this time, Tiantai Mountain does not even have a name, it is really pitiful, there are no buildings on the top of the mountain, it is simply a small hill with no name, such a magnificent and good scenery, it is buried like this, which is really a pity.
No matter how good the scenery is, it also needs to be discovered by future generations, only the good light found by human beings is really a good scenery, if it is not discovered by human beings, it is a buried scenery.
On the path near Tiantai Mountain, Li An can already hear the roar of the Yellow River, which is very loud, giving people a rather shocking feeling, and only the mother river of China can have such a spirit, which makes people sigh after listening to it.
Since it is still a primitive environment, it has not been developed in any way, so there is no road to the top of the mountain, if you want to go up, you have to open up a road yourself, and in the environment of winter, it is undoubtedly very simple to open up a road up the mountain, if the grass and trees are dense in summer, it is more difficult to open up the road.
The soldiers in charge of opening the way in front quickly opened a road to the top of the mountain, and Li An followed this mountain road to the legendary Tiantai Mountain with relative ease.
