The windows of the Wuying Hall are all open, and on a small table of black lacquer inlaid with luodian, there is a flower basket with copper enamel inlaid with green jade, and the ingenious Li Xiangjun gets up early in the morning and picks fresh flowers in the imperial garden and inserts them in the flower basket.

The dewdrop-covered flowers are like beauties, enchanting and colorful, and pleasing to the eye.

Qin Mu was dressed in a black-bottomed gown, sitting in front of the black lacquer ivory carved peony interstitial, compared with yesterday's frowning, today's confidence in controlling the world returned to his face.

Rivers and mountains, beauties. The beauties who captivate the country and the city sometimes make men lose their country. But on the other hand, she can also make men feel happier, more comfortable, and more confident.

Qin Mu, who deeply realized the benefits of combining work and rest last night, said to Sima An, Li Yuan, Gu Junen, Yu Shangyou, and Yang Chao: "I remember that when Wu and Yue competed for hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period, Yue Guo gave boiled seeds to Wu State. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the history books definitely contain this matter."

Yu Shangyou and the others don't know why the emperor suddenly mentioned this matter, and now the Qitate, Batur, and Tulubaihu that Daqin is facing are all nomads, and you give the grain seeds to others, and they don't farm.

"What do you think is the weakness of Gushi Khan Tulu Baihu?"

The ministers sitting at the bottom were thoughtful, and Sima An spoke first: "Your Majesty, Qinghai-Tibet belongs to the alpine region, and winter comes relatively early. ”

"Yes, this is one, the winter in Qinghai-Tibet comes early, and the terrain in the Longyou area is much lower, and there is obviously a time difference in the winter between the two places. In other words, Qinghai-Tibet has been covered by heavy snow. And Longyou can also march and fight. ”

Qin Mu and Sima An's question and answer made Gu Junen and the others suddenly feel a sense of enlightenment.

The road is formed by people walking a lot. In this era, Qinghai-Tibet is vast and sparsely populated. In fact, there is no road at all, and once the snow closes the mountain, it is almost impossible to walk.

"Tea." Yu Shangyou said suddenly.

Qin Mu said lightly: "Yes, this is also one, but how to send the tea to the Tulubai Amber Army?" ”

The Heshute tribe is also Mongolian, and they also eat meat, so it can be said that they can't do without tea in a meal. What the enemy relies on is often where the enemy's weakness lies.

It is not difficult to send the tea to the Tulubaihu army, but the difficult thing is how to make the enemy drink the tea without discovering the cats.

Qin Mu sighed at this time: "As the saying goes, it is good. I can't give up the child, I can't trap the wolf. ”

***

Hetao, Ordos steppe.

Bayannur Lake is like a tear of a fairy on the grassland, clear and clear, reflecting the high blue sky and white clouds.

In the wind blowing from Yin Mountain. The cries of geese echoed.

Look west. The majestic peaks of Helan Mountain are like thousands of horses galloping, the white snow on the summit reflects the sun, and the clouds are magnificent.

Bayinnaur means rich lake in Mongolian. This lake is worthy of its name, here along the lake a hundred miles of a horse flat river, the water and grass are abundant, the cattle bark, the sheep run, thousands of sheep like a piece of white clouds spread out on the grassland. Herds of horses galloped happily in the meadows, neighing in the wind

Yurts by the lake. Like mushrooms growing on the grassland, the curling smoke floats into the sky, and it looks peaceful and beautiful.

Wen Cunxiao led two thousand Qin troops, like a black cloud, to Bayinnaoer Lake, the autumn wind on the plug sounded in his ears, and the rumbling iron hooves broke the tranquility of Bayinnaoer Lake.

Taiji, the former right-wing central banner of Ordos, and now the thousand households of Bayinaoer's Thousand Households in Daqin, Hadan Batel, came out with more than 20 young men in the clan, dismounted from afar, bowed to each other, and was extremely respectful.

Wen Cunxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, there was no change near Bayinnaoer Lake, and he finally arrived before the Chitate army.

He halted the army and came to Hadan Batel with dozens of his own soldiers.

"Xiaguan greets General Wen." Hadanbatel can speak awkward Chinese, which makes it difficult to listen, but his attitude is definitely humble enough.

Wen Cunxiao jumped off his horse and said loudly: "Battle Qianhu doesn't need to be polite, you must also know the purpose of this future here, do you have any news of the Qitate army?" ”

Due to the Sinicization of Daqin in Hetao, although Hadan Baatel still wears Mongolian costumes, his hairstyle is no longer the original Mongol head shape of leaving a bunch of hair on each ear and a bun of short hair on the forehead, but combing the hair bun like the Han people, which looks much more pleasing to the eye.

He saluted respectfully again, "General Huiwen, I heard that the rebels of Chitat are still in Ijin Holo. ”

Wen Cunxiao was a little puzzled when he heard this, Dongshengwei was about four or five hundred miles from Yijin Holo, and the army of Chitate had entered Dongtao for many days, and it was still in Yijin Holo?

"When did you get the news?"

"Back to General Wen, I received the news the day before yesterday, the clansmen know that there is an enemy attacking Dongtao, and they are very worried, General Wen is coming, everyone can finally rest assured. General Wen and the soldiers have come from afar to work hard, please go to the official tent and use some wine and meat first. The soldiers' dinner was also prepared. ”

"Okay, then I'll have you covered."

Wen Cunxiao returned to the army, gave a few instructions to the deputy general Zhao Zhensheng, and then went to the big account by the lake with Hadan Battell.

Hadan Baatar shouted loudly in Mongolian, and in the large yurt room, Mongolian girls brought out wine, and those Mongolian men carried out the fat sheep one by one, put them on the dry pyre, lit a fire and roasted them, and after a while, the shore of Bayinnaor Lake was filled with the smell of meat.

Zhao Zhensheng, who received Wen Cunxiao's orders, ordered the 2,000 soldiers not to unload the saddle, leaving half of the men and horses to guard the war horses, and waiting for the other half of the soldiers to come to rotate after dinner, and warned the soldiers not to drink, not to flirt with Mongolian girls, and to be vigilant.

In the big tent, Hadan Batel didn't care about the vigilance of the Qin army at all, and praised Wen Cunxiao: "General Wen has led the troops well, and the lower officials are really eye-opening, with such soldiers, why don't you win, me and my people can really rest assured now, come, I salute General Wen." ”

Hadan Baatel sat cross-legged on the blanket behind the small table, picked up the wine bowl, and did it first as a respect.

Wen Cunxiao took off his saber and put it beside him, and replied with a smile: "Battle Qianhu has won the award, my Great Qin Zhuangshi is not allowed to drink alcohol when marching and fighting, Batel Qianhu has a good intention, this general has a heart, this wine is forgotten, this general is the commander of the army, and he can't break the military regulations first." ”

Hadan Batel immediately snorted and said: "It's the lower officials who owe it to consider, come on, change the goat's milk for General Wen."

"No need, just give Ben a cup of tea." Wen Cunxiao had been in Hetao for a few months, but the smell of goat's milk had been difficult to get used to, so he picked up a piece of roasted golden buttery mutton on the plate with a knife and ate it.

A Mongolian girl waiting in the tent made a pot of tea and brought it up, and when she poured it out, the fragrance of tea was permeated, and it was actually the best Longjing tea.

Wen Cunxiao sent roast mutton with tea, and said while eating: "Battle Qianhu, you are also the general of Great Qin now, Qitat invaded the Hetao, sooner or later will invade here, if you don't want to join the enemy, you have to prepare early, let your young men go with the general to beg for thieves tomorrow." ”

After Wen Cunxiao finished speaking, he stopped eating and looked at Hadan Batel quietly, thinking that he would find an excuse to shirk, but to his surprise, Hadan Batel responded with a mouthful: "General Wen has an order, and the lower officials should obey it, early tomorrow morning, I will gather the warriors of the clan and go with General Wen to crusade against Chitater." ”

"That's good." Wen Cunxiao said with relief.

Now that the reinforcements have not arrived, Wen Cunxiao can only try to pull these Mongolian tribes to the battlefield to participate in the war, Hadan Batar was named a thousand households, and his men can pull out 1,300 soldiers who can fight, ranking second in strength among the Mongolian tribes in Dongtao.

In the current form, although these Mongol tribes are not very credible, and Wen Cunxiao is very wary, in any case, it is better than pushing them to the side of Chitath.

As long as they are dragged into battle and fought with Chitat, and the two sides have formed a grudge, it will be easy to do.

Wen Cunxiao was careful everywhere, and the meat and tea eaten by the Qin army were indeed not poisonous, and the first batch of soldiers ate for a long time, and after there was no abnormality, it was the turn of the second group of soldiers to eat.

But I never expected that something happened that night.
