There are no obvious landmarks on the grassland, and at a glance it is an endless meadow, and it is really not so easy to identify the direction. And now there is no doctrine of stargazing...... In other words, even if there is a theory of stargazing, it is not a matter of learning a few lame stargazing to distinguish the direction, everything pays attention to a profession.

How do you orient yourself in that endless grassland? Some people say that stargazing, which is not too esoteric, should always know the position of the Big Dipper or the Morning Star to judge the direction, this statement is not wrong, but it is necessary to know that the direction is the right way. There is nothing in the small area of direction recognition, once there is a slight deviation in the route of more than 100 miles, it is not a matter of 1 mile or 2 miles, and it is very likely that you will not be able to reach the destination you want to reach until you die.

Why did the vanguard arranged by Lu Zhe have the Qin army, which originally belonged to the Northern Xinjiang sequence? It's not that there are soldiers in the Qin army who are familiar with the Hetao, even if there are those soldiers as the early guides, they enter the Yunzhong and Jiuyuan area and wander around blindly several times, and finally determine what position they are in from the mouths of the local Hu people, and only with the Hu people leading the way can they be regarded as embarking on the "right path".

The 1st Cavalry Regiment and Wang Ben's troops had gone three months earlier than the troops advancing westward, and if it had not been for the blind wandering of the period, these 80,000 or so cavalry would have entered the core of the Hetao, but their farthest advance so far could have been pointed to the diversion of the Yellow River, an area called the Beihe.

Beihe is the name of Qin State, and no one bothered to investigate what the Hu people call it, and after Beihe is the Yinshan Mountain Range.

The Yinshan Mountains occupy a large area, only so far the Chinese ethnic groups have not set foot in that place, I heard that there are more mountains to the north over the Yinshan Mountains, and it is not that the Chinese ethnic groups take it for granted that all the terrain is flat.

In fact, not all areas of the grassland are flat, that is, the area close to the territory of China is the kind of flat terrain.

There is Yin Mountain in the Hetao area, after turning over Yin Mountain. To the west is a large desert, and walking four or five hundred miles to the north is also a desert area, so there is also the name of Mo Nan and Mo Bei, which means south of the desert and north of the desert.

Crossing two desert areas, to the west is the core area of the Xiongnu ethnic group, an area called Junji Mountain, this area has many river systems, and is divided into two parts: West Junji Mountain and East Junji Mountain, if you continue to go west for thousands of miles, you should go out of the territory of the Xiongnu and arrive at the so-called Western Regions. There are many and mixed ethnic groups there, and the most powerful ethnic group is called Wusun; To the north, thousands of miles away is another core of the Huns, this core is not as suitable for grazing as Junji Mountain, that is the earliest area where the Huns were entrenched, there is a place called Guyan Mountain, where the Xiongnu's Shan Yuting is located, and there is a place called Wolf Juxu Mountain about 100 miles away from Shan Yuting.

"I heard some Hu people say that Wolf Juxu Mountain is the place where the Huns buried their ancestors. I don't know if it's true? "The person who spoke is called Zhang Cang, and he is the military marquis of the sixth song. He met Zhong Liyi and Han Xin by chance half an hour ago, and invited them to come to his tent.

Han Xin's expression was very strange when he heard the name Wolf Juxu Mountain, and he seemed to murmur in a low voice: "The king said that the Feng Wolf Juxu doesn't mean here, right?" ”。 His eyes were wide open, almost gone.

Zhong Liyi and Han Xin are officers, but in fact, they don't have to line up for prostitutes like ordinary soldiers, and there is a special area in the camp for officers to "consume". This is information that they only learned later. The two were about to go to the officer's exclusive area when they met Zhang Cang, who was a good friend of their top boss Shen Tujia, and the three had met but had no friendship. Zhang Cang took the initiative to invite, and they accepted the kindness.

People who are familiar with history will certainly not be unfamiliar with Zhang Cang, he was originally the imperial history of the Qin State, and later committed a crime and fled back to his hometown Yangwu County to hide, and followed Liu Bang after the world chaos, but during Liu Bang's domination of the world, he was appointed as the prime minister during the period of Emperor Xiaowen of the Western Han Dynasty, and once led troops to eliminate Zang Di, who was named the king of Yan by Liu Bang, and also corrected the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", and the achievements in history are not low at all.

In this historical version of Zhang Cang, he also fled back to his hometown because of violating Qin law, and after returning to his hometown, it happened that the war spread to his side, so he organized the township to protect himself, but he was defeated by others, and he had to take a group of remnants to Jiangling in Nanjun to join Lu Zhe.

By the way, during the period when Zhang Cang led people to take refuge in Lu Zhe, it was when Huan Chu defeated Zhou Wen and was about to unify Lujiang County, and there were also Zhou Wen among the people who took refuge in Lu Zhe at that time, as well as a group of people such as Shen Tujia, Zhang Cang, Ren Ao, and Ji Xin. The best development of this group of people is Zhou Wen, Zhou Wen is currently the commander of the Third Mixed Legion, Shen Tujia is currently a captain of the Fifth Cavalry Corps, Zhang Cang is now a military marquis, and Ren Ao and Ji Xin have also mixed into the military position of the commander.

If it is said that gold will always shine, then there is really a certain amount of truth, Ji Bu, a "historical figure" known to Lu Zhe, not to mention, approached the core class of the Han State under special care, Sima Xin, the "political benchmark", needless to say, the rest of the figures who originally had good development in history, they were also moving up at a very rapid speed in the Han State......

Of course, Zhang Cang heard what Han Xin said about "sealing the wolf Juxu", but ...... Except for Lu Zhe and Han Xin, it is estimated that no one knows what it means.

"Did you gather all the women from the surrounding tribes here?" Zhong Liyi's face was ambiguous.

Zhang Cang laughed "haha": "The three tribes within a radius of a hundred miles, the rest of the women are indeed concentrated. ”

Han Xin wanted to know if those women of the Hu race were forced to sell by the army.

"Persecution?" Zhang Cang seems to like to say "haha" a few times before speaking? He laughed again before he said: "The Hu people are different from us (the woman), how could our little lady do such a thing unless she was forced to do it?" The Hu woman is extremely ......" he doesn't know the word open, "extremely casual? I heard that the Hu people would send their wives and daughters to warm the beds when they entertained friends, and we slept with them for a fee, and they were very happy. ”

Han Xin doesn't mean that, the current social environment in China is not very conservative, it is not a big deal for a woman to fall in love with a man, and a woman is not very concerned about "that membrane" when she marries a man, and it is not so unfashionable to remarry a widow, and the remarriage of a widow with a child is extremely common in society.

In fact, it is also like that. There are many celebrities recorded in history, many of them are wild fornications, and the most famous in the late Qin period is the "wild combination" between Lu Juan and Lu Pheasant's sister Lu Xiao, and then Lu Juan found that Lu Xiao not only had a sexual relationship with him, but also had a "cannon friend" relationship with Fan Xu, and finally Lu Juan and Lu Xiao had a quarrel, and Lu Xiao simply married Fan Hao in a fit of anger.

After figuring out whether the Hu Chong woman was voluntary and not out of persecution, Han Xin became happy, and said, "You should have any good goods left, right?" ”

Zhang Cang habitually laughed with a "haha": "Yes, yes, there must be special treatment for officers." After pausing to look at Han Xin and Zhong Liyi, he slapped his thigh: "Come on." You'll only have one day off, and I'll not delay it. ”

What's going on? The whole Han army, from the officers to the non-commissioned officers, is like a pervert. But to be honest, they are all flesh and blood, and if there are constraints, it is just that they are not allowed to touch women, who can pretend to be serious without such military discipline?

After saying goodbye to Zhang Cang, Zhong Liyi and Han Xin went to the officer's exclusive area in the direction pointed by Zhang Cang, and when they arrived at the ground, they saw a lot fewer people, and the officers above the tun commander appeared in the area, and they didn't see any of the team rates below the tun commander.

Say it's an officer-only area. But there is no comparison with the country, when they go to prostitution in China, they can choose the girl they like in advance, but here they can't see the bearded woman. It can only be like choosing a tent blindfolded......

Han Xin entered the tent and immediately smelled the smell of mutton gas, and the light in the tent was really not very good, he scanned for a long time but did not find where the Hu Chong woman was.

A sound of "babbling wow wow" appeared, and Han Xin could be regarded as knowing where the Hu Chong woman was. It turned out to be nested in a mess of hides that I don't know what to do.

Han Xin didn't understand what the Hu seed woman was talking about, he originally wanted to stand still and wait for his eyes to adapt to the dim light before he could act, but he didn't think that the Hu seed woman who didn't know what she looked like was more active than him. She crawled over without waiting for Han Xin to make any moves, and then there was a burst of "babbling wow" and not knowing what it was.

Needless to say, Han Xin picked up his armor and pounced on it directly, and when he touched it with his hands, he found that the skin of the Hu Chong woman was not as rough as it looked, and the Hu Chong woman's chest was quite full, but ......

"What a smell!" Han Xin was about to pick up the part of the battle robe, he really couldn't stand the smell of sheep's body, and struggled to push the bearded woman away, and took a few breaths before he could take off his clothes, and then there was a scene that was not suitable for children.

There are not many similar things in this camp, in fact, these soldiers of the Han army have not been able to take a bath since they arrived, and the smell on their bodies is not much better than that of the Hu people, they have to be glad that there is no disease from Europa to the east now, otherwise there are so many people playing with a woman like this, I really don't know how many people will be "hit".

Strange to say...... How can there be venereal diseases on the Europa side, and they are venereal diseases on a large scale, but they are very rare in the East?

Not?! What to do after investigating so much, Lu Zhe also ordered someone to investigate and found that there was no venereal disease, otherwise it would have been time to issue an order restricting soldiers from prostitution.

In the evening, before the soldiers gathered around for dinner, the senior officers sent down the military order, saying that everyone was ordered to ride horses and carry some water-filled tools, pots, and incendiary materials to the northeast side.

The soldiers who received the order were very strange, but no one chirped crookedly when they were accustomed to obeying military orders, and when they arrived at the ground, they found that the destination was a shoal river.

Some people dug into the ground and buried the pot, many more went back and forth to get the water back, thousands of fires boiled whoever boiled, mixed with cold water to the right temperature, and then a long list of commands to strip and shower.

Why didn't the soldiers run straight into the river to bathe? Because it is now approaching winter, the temperature on the grassland during the day is about 14 degrees, but at night it is close to zero, and the army will not let the soldiers enter the river or stream to bathe unless necessary, after all, there is no cold medicine now, once someone is infected with wind cold and evolves into contagious cold symptoms, then wait for the epidemic to spread in the army.

After a while, the soldiers who took a bath were not silent, most of them were talking about what the Hu women they prostituted during the day, and most of them didn't see the appearance of the Hu women clearly because the light in the tent was too dark, and they could only describe the figure of the Hu women.

"In addition to the heavier smell on the body, petite women are actually quite good to play." Zhong Liyi threw the big hanging under his crotch and showed off: "I have been doing it for nearly half an hour, if the women of our (clan) would have been unable to stand it a long time ago." The Hu woman is like a crazy request, and she still looks like she can't get enough of it. ”

Other words can actually be filtered, Zhong Liyi wanted to show off the staying power of "half an hour", and when he spoke, he kept rubbing his crotch with both hands, as rude as he wanted.

However, none of the soldiers in the army have been fighting for many years, and they don't know when they will be shrouded in horse leather, so what is it to be rude.

Zhong Liyi's words caused a burst of boos from the surrounding officers, and one of the military marquis was right, and the men had different endurance. It depends on the physique of the individual, and in addition, only a "junior brother" or a man who has never touched a woman will show off his long staying power, and the more outrageous he brags, the more he is despised. In addition, only men who do not have women think that men are more lustful than women, and if there are men who have women, they don't know that women are more than men.

There was a burst of frolic, and no one at the rank of captain or above in the distance stopped it, just watching a group of people laughing and scolding while taking a bath.

Shen Tujia is one of the people who watch the excitement, and the people next to him are basically school captains. For example, a lowly general will only get together with people of the level of a lowly general, which is a rule unique to the military class. After all, it is not a joke for officials to crush people to death, and who knows if he will say something wrong to displease his boss, if he is wearing "small shoes" because of a few words. It's so aggrieved to be pitted to death.

After freshening up and returning to the camp, the garrison had already prepared the corresponding meals, because it was in the steppe, and because the vanguard corps had captured a large number of cattle and sheep. The garrison arranged more meat food. At the same time, the Han army is also willing to try the Hu people's way of eating, roasting a whole sheep, a whole cow or something. It became the appearance of a campfire around a shelf roasting cattle and sheep.

"Don't say it, before entering the grassland, there was meat in the army, and I didn't feel that I had enough to eat," Zhong Liyi cut the beef with his rib knife, stuffed it into his mouth after cutting, and said vaguely while chewing: "I eat too much meat, but I miss those green vegetables very much." ”

The rib knife is actually a kind of dagger, not a weapon used to fight, the main role is to cut meat, and the rib knife in the later history of the continuous change of name, with fewer and fewer people, in the end is no longer used as a dining tool, is a knife called "chastity blade", the Han Dynasty is used to ensure dignity suicide, the Tang Dynasty has become a dining tool, but in the late Tang Dynasty it became a suicide dagger, to the Song Dynasty this thing disappeared.

In addition, it is necessary to explain, whether it is called a rib knife or what it is called, this tool is actually a "meat eater" will prepare, after all, there is no habit of slicing meat when boiled now, it is a large piece directly thrown into the water to cook, and people who are able to eat meat are generally not rich or noble, in addition to the rib knife, there is also a kind of fork with two sharp thorns, such as chopsticks and spoons, but only civilians who can't afford to eat meat will use.

Roast whole sheep, roast whole beef, at all is to clean up the internal organs and roast them directly, there is no seasoning in these years, you can sprinkle a little salt even if you add a little flavor, want to be like modern both spices and peppers or something, it is completely impossible, so it can only be said to be delicious.

Han Xin was gnawing on the mutton waist but felt that someone was stabbing him, he turned his head and stared at Zhong Liyi with some disgust: "What are you doing?" ”

Zhong Liyi made a big discovery, he hurriedly swallowed the meat in his mouth into his throat, and raised his finger to the left: "Look at those bearded women." ”

Han Xin looked in the direction Zhong Liyi pointed, and really saw many bearded women walking in line under the supervision of the soldiers. He just looked at it a few times and didn't look at it, it was night, although there were torches and bonfires or something, but when he was far away, he could only see that it was a woman, and it was strange that he could see clearly what he looked like.

"No, it's from our side," Zhong Liyi didn't lower his voice, and the people around him could hear it clearly: "You can't be here to perform some song and dance for us, right?" ”

Not to mention, I really guessed Zhong Liyi's big mouth again, and the garrison has such an arrangement, to put it bluntly, it is not the friendship of the landlord, it is the commander of the 11th Cavalry Division who discussed it with his own commander (master), and took out the financial silk in the division to hire, in order to give the soldiers a pleasure.

It was getting closer, it was getting closer and closer, and the soldiers who were originally noisy were all subconsciously quiet. They can be regarded as having a clear understanding of what the women of the Hu race who have sex with them look like.

"Damn, it's a big loss, why don't you lose your face black!" Zhong Liyi wailed like a miserable scream: "No wonder the light in the tent is so bad, if you can see the appearance of the Hu Chong woman clearly, who the would be willing to play!" ”

During the day, the soldiers who went to "consume" all looked at each other with strange expressions, and they also felt that they had lost a lot.

Having said that, there are no skin care products now, let alone beauty and beauty, how many women are born beautiful? Also, it's a harsh environment. The grassland with a rather poor climate, exposed to the wind and sun all day long, plus the need to graze and do other work, it is strange that the grassland women can be beautiful.

The Han Kingdom was born in the south, and the climate in the south is mild or even humid, so the weather in the south can "raise natural beauties", which is one of the reasons why most of the beauties in ancient history came from the south. Of course, what kind of woman can be considered a beauty, each era also has its own aesthetics.

It's like in the Han Kingdom, what kind of woman is considered a beauty depends entirely on Lu Zhe's aesthetics. For example, Lu Zhe likes women with melon seed faces, tall figures, and long legs, so women with this image can be called a kind of beauty in the Han Kingdom. What is even more impressive is the Tang Dynasty, at that time, only rich and plump women could be regarded as beauties, and at the same time, the beauties considered by people of different classes were actually "two worlds". The powerful look at the appearance, and the commoners look at the body bones (that is, the butt is easy to give birth to), which is really bad to comment.

In addition to the fact that the Hu women did not conform to the aesthetics of the Han army soldiers, the "chorus" performed by those Hu women really made the Han soldiers sound uninterested. Very real thing. If the language is not comprehensible, if there is a rhythm of music, it is better to listen to the rhythm, but the songs of the Huns are better said to be "howling" than to sing. And the melody is turned over and over again, that is, there is no change except for "howling" and "screaming". The reality is like that, the values, aesthetics, and impressions are completely different, and the entertainment effect that can be played is to be a long insight.

The effect was very poor, and Wu Liang, the commander of the 11th Cavalry Division, who felt that he had lost a lot, found Zhang Cang, not the same legion could not get angry, but he felt that the tone was not so good if he was fooled.

"Understood, completely understood," Zhang Cang's face was sneering, the Han army was often irregularly transferred, God knows when he was transferred to Wu Liang, he could only accompany the smiling face: "Or just watch them wrestle, it is a unique wrestling on the grassland." ”

Wu Liang, who was transferred back for meritorious service in the Lingnan Campaign, became a member of the Fifth Cavalry Corps in Nanling, and became a partial general when the army was reorganized, and was also awarded the title of a fifth-class baron. This time, he led a division of 25,000 people as the second echelon to the western front, and he knew very well that the next battle would not be easy, so as soon as he entered the station, he deliberately did not control the soldiers under his command so strictly, otherwise God knows if there will be a time to relax again once it is officially put into battle.

The Huaxia ethnic group is no stranger to wrestling at all, and Wu Liang was very suspicious of the difference between the wrestling unique to the grassland that Zhang Cang said and the "native", so he nodded hesitantly and stopped talking.

What else is unique to wrestling on the prairie? Zhang Cang sent someone to inform him, but the so-called unique grassland wrestling method turned out to be almost naked, leaving only a strip of cloth like a belt around his waist, and when he played wrestling, he also grabbed each other's strips of cloth and tried his best to throw people out.

"I heard that this is not made by the Huns, it is ...... from the far west" Zhang Cang thought about it carefully: "It seems that it is called a car division or a car or something, it is the Huns who plundered that side, and the culture brought from there, it seems that the official name is called naked play or something over there (Western Regions), and the real gameplay is much more fun than this." ”

Wu Liangcai didn't bother to care what Zhang Cang was talking about, he cared about the soldiers...... Seems to be very interested? (To be continued......)
