Leaving the brigade at the station a hundred miles away on the west side to rest, Batu Kunbo galloped to the royal court with more than 100 cronies and escorts, and Tizhu sent someone to summon him to discuss the matter.

The prairie in this season is particularly beautiful, the green grass begins to turn yellow, mixed with pale red, and colorful; Horses, cows, and sheep can be seen everywhere, and the sound of horses' hooves startles the rabbits in the bushes and scurries into the distance; Under the blue sky, geese and wild ducks spread their wings and fly......

On the side of the hillside, the herdsmen harvest the yellow pasture grass and make it into half-human-high bales and stack them on the side of the hillside. Kumpole stopped his horse and raised his whip to greet the herdsmen on the slope, "Uncle Hantai, I have added a few cattle and sheep this year, and that baby is your granddaughter Ulina, I still held her in my hand last time I saw her." ”

Hantai bent down and saluted, "Kunbo Khan is well. This year, there is plenty of rain and fertile water and grass, and my family has added 12 cows and 36 sheep, so I won't have to worry about cutting more grass for the winter. Great Khan, is Qinggar okay? "Ginger, the second son of Hantai, was a hundred horsemen under the command of Kunbo.

"That kid is as strong as a cow, and he shot a few Zheng soldiers two days ago, and he can be promoted to a thousand cavalry commanders after a few more merits. After the Zheng people are repulsed, I will let him go home and get married, and add a few grandchildren to you. Cumpo smiled happily.

"Hahaha, that's a good dare." Amid Hantai's hearty laughter, Kumpo waved goodbye and rushed towards the royal court like an arrow. The closer you get to the royal court, the more you can feel the tension in the air, and the light horsemen armed with bows and arrows gallop back and forth, saluting when they see Kunbo.

Approaching the black stone wall of the royal court, the horn sounded, and a golden wolf rode out, the silver armor on his body shining in the sun, which was the light armor of the Western Regions Jusu Kingdom. Kunbo knew that only 600 sets of this kind of bearded light armor were purchased, and the Golden Wolf Army, the Black Wolf Army, and the Blue Wolf Army each received 200 sets. Of the two hundred sets of the Black Wolf Army's Jushu light armor, one hundred sets were given to the generals around him by him, and the remaining one hundred sets were given to close guards.

Following the Golden Wolf Army to the outside of the king's tent, Kunbo stepped into the tent. The king's tent was empty, and the once sumptuous ornaments and gold and silver utensils were gone, and Cumpo knew that he had been replaced by his sister for armor, arrows, and food.

Seeing Kunbo striding over, Tizhu stood up with a smile and said, "Big brother, you're here, everyone is waiting for you." ”

Kun Bo nodded to the girl, and after nodding to the surrounding Khan, Wang, Du Wei, Danghu, and Wan Cavalry Commanders, he came to the empty position on the left and sat down, and the accompanying generals stood behind him. There was a fine wine on the table, and Cumpo raised his glass to drink it all, and the spicy feeling flowed down his throat, immediately relieving his fatigue.

Sitting opposite was Li Man, waiting for Kunbo to put down the cup and speak: "Big brother, I heard that you fought a battle with Zheng Jun, how did you win or lose?" ”

Wiping away the drops of wine on the side of the beard, Kunbo said in a deep voice: "The Zheng army of 200,000 attacked the camp of Ubel Lake where I was stationed, and our 60,000 troops fought with the Zheng army for an hour, and after each suffered about 3,000 casualties, I led the people to evacuate. ”

"There are a lot of ordnance, grain and grass in the Ubel Lake station, and the 500,000 sharp arrows bought from Wei Cheguo are also stored there, and the eldest brother gave them to the Zheng people?" The 500,000 sharp arrows promised to give him 150,000, and he couldn't help but feel pain. People who support Liman also echoed their words.

Kun Bo didn't pay attention to Liman, and motioned to the maid holding the pot on the side to pour him wine, Ti Zhu said softly: "Second brother, don't worry, the eldest brother has already got the news and made preparations, and he is heavy."

Supplies should have been transferred. ”

Zuo Da and Qu Su Bu Naying took care of the affairs of the royal court, and his daughter married Kunbo as a side clan, so she naturally opened her mouth to help Kunbo. "Ladies and gentlemen, if the enemy is still so noisy, the Zheng people will cut off our heads to build a Jingguan, and our descendants will become slaves of the Zheng people, giving them cattle and sheep grazing. ”

The crowd fell silent and focused their eyes on the Lady of Tizu. It has been seven years since she became a saint, and before she knew it, Ti Zhu had grown up, and at the age of twenty-five, she was as delicate as a flower, her crystal eyes were like stars in the night sky, her red lips were like flower petals, her cheeks were ruddy, and her black hair was braided into long braids and wore red agate beads, which were bright and moving.

Although the Holy Maiden of Tizhu announced that she would serve by example and never marry, countless athletes on the grassland were willing to sacrifice their lives for her, and Atina, the thousand cavalry commander of the Golden Wolf Army, who stood in the corner, was one of them. At that time, Agabai had been promoted to the commander of the Thousand Horsemen of the Golden Wolf Army, and Atina felt closer to the Holy Maiden of Tizu, in the eyes of Atina, Tizhu was benevolent and holy, a veritable holy woman, and it was a great luck to be able to guard her side.

Ti Zhu's long eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he felt pain in the center of Atina's eyes, and heard the soft voice of the holy maiden in his ears, "The spy report recently sent back said that Emperor Zheng intended to invade the grassland in March next year, and Zheng Guo gathered 800,000 troops on the border and prepared countless materials to seize our indifferent royal court, drive us to the bitter cold land, and turn the grassland south of the royal court into the grazing land of the Zheng people. ”

The breathing in the king's tent became heavy, and everyone's face was covered with severe frost, this was a fight to destroy the country and destroy the species, and it was a life-and-death crisis for the people of the grassland, and only by working hard could there be hope of survival.

"Compared with the Zheng people, we are inferior in equipment and materials, and we don't even have as many soldiers as the Zheng army." Ti Zhu stood up and walked around the tent, her eyes sweeping over everyone's faces, "But we are familiar with the terrain and adapt to the climate, if we can unite as one, even if there are twice as many Zheng Jun, we can turn them into fertilizer for pasture." ”

The words were sonorous and powerful, and the Golden Wolf Army guards at the tent of Atina felt their blood boiling, and the leader of the Golden Wolf Army, Enhan, stood up from his seat, knelt down on one knee, and said in a loud voice: "Enhan is willing to die for the Holy Maiden." ”

Many generals in the Golden Tent immediately knelt down and swore loudly: "I am willing to fight to the death for the people of the grassland." ”

The leaders of many tribes followed and swore an oath, and Kunbo glanced at Liman, also nodded to the ground on one knee, and said in a muffled voice: "Kunbo is willing to fight for the grassland." ”

Kunpo bowed down, leading the officials and generals of his faction to kneel down one after another. Li Man saw that most of the people were kneeling, and if he didn't kneel, in the eyes of everyone, I was afraid that he would lose the opportunity to become the king of Khan forever. I secretly hated Kunbo in my heart, and I had no choice but to kneel down with the crowd, and Li Man said angrily: "On this occasion of danger, Li Man's department is willing to be the forerunner and swear not to stand with Zheng Ren." ”

With tears in her eyes, Tizhu turned to kneel north, and prayed: "Eternal life, may you bless the children of the grassland, and give the children of the grassland to be brave and fearless, brave as wolves, like eagles, and forever alive on the grassland." ”

The crowd prayed loudly, and the sound of prayer spread out of the golden tent and into the royal court, and countless deserters knelt down and prayed, hoping to defeat the Zheng people and save their homes.

…………

In September, a letter from home was sent from Zhenbei to Jiangfu in the capital, the letter was sent by Jiang Anyong, Jiang Anyong went to Zhenbei with the army in the fourth year of Jianwu, and it was nearly two years. Looking at the crooked words on the letter, two or three out of ten words were wrong, Jiang Anyi couldn't cry or laugh, he was a well-known champion in the world, Sanyuan and the first, but his younger brother even wrote a few words full of mistakes and omissions, no wonder Yan'er complained that he dozed off when he was studying, and Mr. Zhou even broke two handboards. Remembering that An Yong delayed his study for the help of others in order to let himself study, Jiang Anyi was angry and pitiful, full of guilt.

The words are very large, the letter is very thick, judging from the ink on the paper, the letter has been written for a long time, and Jiang Anyi looked at it carefully. The letter was written trivially, one sentence in the east and one sentence in the west, whatever came to mind, at first it was to ask about the family, and the words revealed the meaning of missing the mother, wife and children, and then learned that Yan'er had been found, and he was very happy, and the family was finally reunited; Then there was his situation in the camp in the north of the town, all of which were interesting things, but Jiang Anyi read the hardships from the letter.

An Yong trained very hard in the camp in the north of the town, and Shen Guogong appreciated him very much and got along well with his colleagues. An Yong was very competitive, and in July last year, he led the troops to capture a small tribe of more than 10,000 people of the Hui Mo people, and was promoted to the rank of ranger general (from the fifth grade), and his subordinates were in charge of 3,000 soldiers and horses, all of whom were light cavalry. Park Tianxiong and the fifty guards who went with him did not treat him badly, Park Tianxiong is now a captain of Zhenwu (from the sixth rank), those guards have been promoted to one or two ranks in the original rank, most of them are captains of the eighth or ninth rank, with these people helping to manage the team, An Yong feels very relaxed.

The younger brother's hippie smiling face appeared in front of Jiang Anyi, Jiang Anyi smiled and muttered, "This kid has finally grown up", and then looked down at the letter, and gradually frowned. The letter said that Mobei became much colder in August, and the Moqi came to attack and harass every three forks and five times, he often led the team to attack, and the Moren became cunning, he was in danger several times, and more than 200 people were lost under the command of 3,000, and two guards were also killed. In the letter, An Yong said that he had many inconveniences in the army, so that his brother could pay more attention to the families of the two dead guards.

Jiang Anyi's heart ached, seventy-eight of his personal guards in Huazhou were willing to follow him to the capital, fifty followed Jiang Anyong to the camp in the north of the town, and the remaining twenty-eight took off their military uniforms to become the guards of Jiangfu. When he was in Hanjiazhuang, Jiangzhou, he did not retreat in the face of Xiang Huaying's six guards, showing extremely high loyalty, which deeply moved Jiang Anyi.

Of course, loyalty is also mutual, and if you want someone to serve your life, you must give the money you buy your life. Jiang Anyi did not treat these guards who followed him badly, each of them gave 600 taels of silver per year, and after returning to the capital, Xin Fei rewarded each of the six guards with 1,200 taels of silver. Jiang Anyi, the personal guard who died in the battle, was going to write a letter to Guo Huaili, asking him to send two thousand taels of silver to each person's family, and then see what difficulties there were at home, and try to help solve them, and let them ask Brother Guo to help solve them in the future.

Jiang Anyi thought to himself that when An Yong went to serve in the camp in Zhenbei, he secretly wrote to King Keming, the Duke of Shenguo, asking him to take care of his younger brother. Shen Guogong appointed An Yong as the general of the light cavalry battalion, the light cavalry he led was the elite of the Zhenbei battalion, and the soldiers were all brave men who had experienced the war, in this harassing battle, An Yong's battle losses were as high as one percent, and it seemed that the indifferent people were not as easy to deal with as imagined.
