Chapter Fifty-Eight: Helpful Li Chang'an
On the grassland, bows and arrows are generally used to talk to fists, and there is not much intrigue, if the matter of the Helan Department happens in the Great Jin Dynasty, I am afraid that Yuwen Jie, who killed his brother and took the throne, just went to the king's tent once, and was controlled by Yuwen Hao and even killed directly.
It's in the steppe that this kind of thing happens.
After Shen Gang received Li Xin's news, he immediately sent a message to the dark line of the Helan Department, about two days later, Shen Gang sent the news of the Helan Department to Li Xin, at this time Li Xin was sitting in his tent and nibbling on a coarse cake, after opening the information and looking at it, he stuffed the last piece of cake in his last hand into his mouth, turned his head and smiled at Ye Mao next to him: "What a coincidence, Looks like we're going to have to run a lot less this time. ”
Ye Mao was also sitting next to Li Xin eating dry food, and when he heard that he drank a lot of water, he opened his mouth and asked, "This Yu Wenhao, does he have descendants?" ”
"Yes, it's still a brother and sister."
Li Xin handed the information to Ye Mao and said with a smile: "The eldest one is twenty-one years old this year, and the younger one is only sixteen years old, and they were all kicked out of the tribe by Yuwen Jie, and thrown into the horse farm of the Heran Department to herd horses. ”
When Ye Mao heard this, his eyes also lit up.
"What does Uncle Shi mean?"
Li Xin nodded with a smile: "Just by the way." ”
There are only more than 10,000 people in their group, and if there is no need, they will not provoke the headquarters of the Heran Ministry.
Because of the reason for scattering grazing, the Helan tribe, which has more than 300,000 people, is not separated from each other, but is scattered into small groups, with Li Xin's current strength, it is not difficult to completely destroy a small tribe of the Heran tribe, but once he attacks the Helan tribe, soon the surrounding Helan tribes will be surrounded, these Xianbei people almost everyone has horses, and they are good at shooting, and it is a dead end to be caught up by them.
So from the very beginning, Li Xin was going to find one of the four horse farms in the Helan Department that was close to the king of Yuwen Zhao, and then attack this horse farm and drive the horses in the horse farm to Yuwen Zhao's side, so as to intensify the conflict, and after doing this, in order not to be caught by the Xianbei people, he had to consider temporarily retreating.
But now it's clear that they have a better option.
Ye Mao's eyes were blazing, he threw all the fried rice in his hand into his mouth, and after chewing a few bites, he turned his head to look at Li Xin and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Shi, when are we going to do it!" ”
Li Xin got up, patted the crumbs on his body, and said slowly: "After the matter of the Qigui Ministry, the Yuwen Department is likely to find our traces, this matter should be sooner rather than later, we will set off tonight to rush to this Romana field in the Helan Ministry, let's go out day and night, and try to arrive tomorrow night." ”
Speaking of this, Li Xin got up and walked out of the tent, and Ye Mao also stood up and followed behind Li Xin.
It's winter, and the grassland is rarely green, a scene of decay, and more importantly, it's all around, and it's hard to see the direction.
"We'll have to find someone to show us the way."
Ye Mao followed behind and asked, "Uncle Shi, how many people are there in this Roman field?" ”
"I don't know how many people there were, but there were about one or two thousand people watching."
Ye Mao lowered his head and was silent for a while, and finally said slowly: "Then tonight we will set off with five thousand people, bring five thousand people, plus ...... Uncle Shi's heavenly thunder will be sure to solve these two thousand people within two hours. ”
Li Xin narrowed his eyes and said: "Take this horse farm, the problem is not very big, the difficulty is that after doing this, we will almost definitely be discovered by Yuwen Zhao, this is already a short distance from Yunzhou, how can we return to Guannei safely when the time comes." ”
Ye Mao scratched his head: "What does Uncle Shi mean?" ”
"Write a letter to Chongwu and ask him to prepare to receive us."
Ye Mao smiled bitterly: "The character of the family is most likely not to rashly send troops out of the customs and clash head-on with the Xianbei people on the grassland. ”
"Yuwen Zhao was also beaten by the Zhenbei Army, and if the farmer is also afraid, he is not worthy of being a border army."
Li Xin looked at Yunzhou City and took a deep breath.
"I'll write a letter later, and you can also add a seal and send it to Yunzhou City."
………………
The next night, the sky slowly darkened.
It was already winter, especially cold in the north, and in a stable in the Roman field, a brother and sister dressed in not particularly heavy leather clothes, each carried a bundle of hay, and went to the stables to feed them.
This pair of brothers and sisters are naturally the children of the former patriarch of the Helan Ministry, brother Yu Wentao and sister Yu Wenjing.
The two of them were originally the little prince and the little princess of the Heran tribe, but after their father died inexplicably, their uncle took charge of the clan, and even their mother and aunt were occupied by their uncle Yuwen in accordance with the rules of "brother to brother" in the tribe.
In order to embarrass them, Yuwen Jie, in the name of exercising them, drove this pair of brothers and sisters to the Roman field to raise horses, and arranged tasks for them, the two brothers and sisters have to take care of a total of 200 horses, and the agreement is that before the end of this year, if one of the 200 horses dies, or is thin, the two brothers and sisters will be considered unqualified, and they will raise horses in the horse farm for another year, and if they are not qualified, they will not be able to return to the Heran Department for the rest of their lives.
You must know that an ordinary herdsman's home is usually only two or three horses, and two people take care of a full two hundred horses, even if they work all day and night, there will definitely be some omissions.
In other words, the two of them are likely to be banished forever in this Roman field and raise horses for the rest of their lives.
At this time, it was already winter, the grass and trees were withering, and there was no way to go out to herd the horses, so the brother and sister could only look for hay everywhere to feed the horses they were responsible for.
Because there are too many of them, even if it is already dark, the brother and sister are still busy.
After the elder brother Yu Wentao fed the horses in a stable, he looked back at his sister who was still working hard, and felt a little distressed, he walked over, took the hay from his sister's hand, and said with a reluctant smile: "Sister, you go to sleep first, there is not much left, I can finish it myself in a while." ”
Yu Wenjing shook her head and said, "There are still thirty or forty horses, and they haven't eaten...... Brother, you ......"
"Boom!"
Yu Wenjing was only halfway through a sentence, and suddenly she heard a loud bang!
The loud noise was so loud that not only the brother and sister were startled, but even the horses in the stable were almost all frightened, and they were restless in the stable, neighing with their necks.
Yu Wenjing hurriedly pulled her brother's sleeve, her voice trembling: "Brother, what's wrong......
Yu Wentao was also a little panicked at this time, he barely calmed down, and he couldn't take care of these horses, so he pulled his sister and ran to the cabin where the two people lived and hid.
The rumbling outside still didn't stop, and after a while, there were bursts of daring to kill.
The brother and sister hid under the bed in the cabin and did not dare to move.
The sound of fighting kept coming.
Yu Wenjing's face was pale, she pulled her brother's sleeve tightly, and her voice trembled: "Brother......"
Because of the ups and downs during this time, she now has no sense of security at all, and even wonders if the people outside are sent by her uncle Yuwenjie to kill their brother and sister.
Yu Wentao reached out and patted his sister-in-law's back, and said in a trilled voice: "It's okay, it's okay......"
In this way, the brother and sister hid under the bed tremblingly for about an hour or two, and the shouting and killing outside gradually stopped, Yuwen Tao swallowed a leak, crawled out from under the bed, and looked out through the crack in the door, only to see that the horse farm was full of dead bodies that had fallen to the ground, and many of them were trampled to death by frightened war horses.
He was about to boldly go out to take a look, when a gentle voice came from the side.
"You...... Is it Yu Wentao? ”
Yu Wentao turned his head suddenly, and under the faint moonlight, he saw a middle-aged man with hair and beard a little scattered, but a resolute face, standing not far from him.
Yu Wentao was very scared at this time, not because he was worried about his own life, but because he was worried that his rightful cardamom girl would be caught by these people who didn't know where they came from.
So he swallowed his saliva and said boldly, "I...... I'm Yu Wentao. ”
"That's great."
This amiable-looking middle-aged man took two steps forward and walked in front of Yu Wentao, with a very sincere smile on his face.
"Young Patriarch Yuwen, do you want to avenge your father and take back your family business?"
