Liu Yin's mount has been with Liu Yin for some time, the first time he went out to Qingcheng Mountain, Liu Yin rode it, and in the subsequent southern and northern wars, he never left Liu Yin's side.

This jade flower horse is the horse princess specially selected for Liu Yin's mount, Shu has never produced a good horse, the horses of the Ma family cavalry that were the mighty world are all from Liangzhou, but time has passed, after the death of Ma Chao, the once prosperous Ma family horse finally disappeared in the long river of history, those Liangzhou horses that had galloped on the battlefield gradually died of old age. But Mafu still retains some relics of Liangzhou horses, compared with the dwarf Sichuan horse, this jade flower can indeed be called a horse, the whole body is snow-white, extremely majestic, Liu Yin is also very fond of this horse.

The soldiers quickly brought Yuhua Cong over, and the horse was extremely docile and well-behaved and stopped in front of Liu Yin, Liu Yin silently stroked Yuhua Cong's mane, his expression gloomy.

All the generals know Liu Yin's thoughts, but at this moment, there is really no other way to do it.

Liu Yin turned his head and waved his hand resolutely: "Take it down and kill it." ”

The soldiers went to take the reins of Yuhuacong, who seemed to understand what was going to happen, and struggled to hold the reins, and kept letting out a wailing sound, and even saw tears in the horse's eyes.

Zhang Le said to Liu Yin: "Big brother, if you don't kill Yuhuacong, you see how pitiful it is." ”

People are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless, no matter how you say this, this jade flower has been with Liu Yin for a long time, Liu Yin is not the kind of hard-hearted person, but at this moment, he can't turn back. Because of a turn back. It's likely that you'll be soft-hearted.

To achieve great things, we must know how to sacrifice. There must be a trade-off between giving and taking.

Liu Yin shook his head gently, tried his best to restrain himself from tears, and said to the officer: "How many war horses are there in the army now?" ”

The Chinese military officer reported: "The general Huiyu, including Yuhua Cong, there are only twenty-six war horses left, all of which are the mounts of the generals. ”

When crossing the snow-capped mountains, the war horses suffered serious losses. In addition to the hundreds of mules and horses buried by the avalanche, there are also a large number of war horses died on the way to the snowy mountains, when crossing the grassland, there are also many war horses trapped in the quagmire, and when the food is exhausted, most of the surviving war horses are slaughtered, except for the mounts of the generals, there is almost no horse left in the 30,000 army.

Liu Yin said in a deep voice: "Except for the mount of the king of the northern land, kill the rest of the mounts to replenish the army rations." "Killing a horse is for an army of thirty thousand. It's just a drop in the bucket, and now I want to get out of the grass. The soldiers had to be fed before they had the strength to complete this last stretch of the road.

Liu Yin even killed his own mount, and no one from other generals naturally had any opinions, in the ice and snow, the firehead soldiers were busy setting up fires and boiling water, and the sad neighing of war horses was constantly heard, and the armies heard it and wept.

War horses are not only the mounts of soldiers, but also partners in life and death, in the war, people and horses have formed a deep affection, and now the Shu army has to use war horses as food, which is really helpless.

At this time, Liu Chen led the horse straight over, and asked Liu Yin in person: "Wenxuan, you killed all the horses, why did you leave me alone?" ”

Liu Yin looked at Liu Chen, who was a little angry, and said, "Fifth brother, you are the king of the Northland, and you are ordered to supervise the army, and your status is noble, how can you abandon your horse and walk?" So I'm going to let you stay, and it doesn't matter if you kill one more or less. ”

Liu Chen glared, and said with some anxious eyes: "Wenxuan, what are you talking about?" You even killed your own mount, but you left me alone, what do you think of your fifth brother? If you come to the army, you are a member of the Han army, what about the princes and nobles? I brought the horse, since we share weal and woe, there is no reason to be special. Come on, take it down and kill it! ”

Liu Yin said with some emotion: "Okay, fifth brother, I owe you a mount, and when I get to Longxi, I will pay you back!" ”

Liu Chen laughed and said, "Okay, but I don't want it if it's not a BMW famous horse." ”

Liu Yin also smiled: "Liangzhou has produced good horses since ancient times, and if it is not a thousand miles of horses, I will not give it to you, the fifth brother." ”

The horse meat was quickly stewed, and the whole grass wafted with that tempting aroma, and each soldier was given a bowl of soup and meat, which was a delicacy that fell from the world for the hungry Shu soldiers, and they ate it all the time, and even the bones were smashed into pieces and swallowed.

Liu Yin didn't eat a bite, the meat was in front of him, but it was like a stalk stabbing in the throat, maybe this will become the pain of Liu Yin's life.

Soon, the army was on its way again.

A heavy snow will completely cover the entire grassland, between the heaven and the earth in addition to the white, can no longer see other colors, this piece of frozen land, for the Shu army to provide convenience, the Shu army is almost all the way trot, double the road and rush the road, eager to rush out of this grassland.

Mountain! On the distant horizon, a towering mountain appeared, also covered with a thick layer of snow.

In the past, those Great Snow Mountains made the Shu soldiers daunting, but now, there is nothing more exciting for them to see the Great Snow Mountain, seeing the big mountain, it means walking out of this meadow and quagmire full of death, and all the soldiers cheered and cried with joy.

Liu Yin and Liu Chen climbed side by side to the top of Minshan Mountain, which was called the dangerous pass of Lazikou in later generations, and when they arrived at Lazikou, it meant that the Shu army walked out of the snow-capped mountains and grasslands and was about to set foot in the cool land.

Liu Chen couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and said: "Wenxuan, you have succeeded, you have created an unprecedented miracle, such a feat will surely be recorded in history forever and passed down through the ages!" ”

Liu Yin's eyes were solemn, there was no joy on his face, behind the success, but nearly 5,000 soldiers were buried here, they were sleeping in the snow-capped mountains and meadows, and the Northern Expedition army paved a way forward.

"Any wine?" Liu Yin turned around and asked Zhang Le behind him.

Zhang Le is addicted to alcohol, this expedition, other people's skin is filled with water, but he is filled with wine, hearing Liu Yin ask him, he quickly untied his skin and handed it over, saying: "It's not much, there is still a little left." ”

Liu Yin silently took it, poured a full bowl, and said in a deep voice in the direction of the grassland: "The sons of Shuzhong who will stay in the snowy mountains and grasslands forever did not take you out of here, I Liu Yin is ashamed of you!" This bowl of wine, to you, your merits, the Han will not forget, may your souls in heaven, rest in peace! ”

Liu Yin slowly poured the wine in the bowl on the ground, and all the soldiers of the Shu army looked at the grass with solemn expressions at this moment, mourning in silence for the dead Pao Ze brothers.

Liu Yin threw the bowl on the ground, eight petals cracked, he resolutely turned his head, to the north, the same vast land, an eagle, is spreading its wings soaring above the sky of Longyou.

Ask the vast earth, who is the lord of ups and downs! (To be continued......)
