Chapter 386: Chaos in the Desert
The menacing Yue people retreated, came suddenly, retreated mysteriously, a catastrophe that almost collapsed, and disappeared before it was fully unfolded.
Some people are alive and happy, such as the gang of people in the county government, some people are shocked and angry, and they flee in despair, such as the iron-faced Yu Gongzi who is still running, some people are relieved, turn around and continue on the road alone, such as Su Hong, and some people have heavy faces, frowning and puzzled, such as the people in the Daomen who are always looking at this side in the other direction.
"Premeditated! This is premeditated! Fortunately, we were afraid of the immortal master's people, and we didn't act rashly from the beginning. The middle-aged Taoist looked afraid, and said with palpitations.
"Then how could Father Wu's bones be in the Yueren Holy Land?
"Found it, but it's dead, apparently to kill it. ”
"That'...... What should I do with Father Wu's bones? Do you want to catch up with ........?"
"Don't be busy, just take a look. Well, be careful, don't be noticed by the other party. Although those people are reckless, they are very skilled and should not be careless. ”
"Yes, but in this case, how can the immortal master explain?"
"It's okay, as I expected, those people are afraid that they can't get rid of the immortal master. And follow, if you are sure that it is not an immortal master, you will ......"
"Got it......"
"Hey, it's lively, those people have reappeared. It's been almost a hundred years......"
The low voices of conversation fell silent, and finally they were silenced. The whole southeast seems to be calm again, as if nothing had ever happened.
At the same time, northwest, outside the plug.
The meadow is vast, the autumn wind is cold, and the iron hooves of the galloping horses turn up large patches of withered yellow turf, unlike the wet and warm south, although it is still early autumn, the northwest side is prematurely exposed to the winter scarf.
A horse roared, and the leading knight reined in his horse and raised his right hand high. The whole team of horses stopped one after another in unison.
"Just separate from here and go according to the plan. The man in charge looked at his horse and ordered in a deep voice.
"Okay, brothers, take care. Among the people who followed him, he rode on his horse and clasped his fists and replied respectfully.
"Well, it's okay on our side, it's mainly your side, not only to make a complete commotion, but also not to reveal your whereabouts, everything should be careful. The leader stared at him and solemnly instructed.
The knight laughed and said proudly: "Big brother can afford them, these dog tartars were not beaten by us back then, but now they are just a small test." According to me, that one is also too cautious, with our brothers and these eight hundred horsemen, who can do anything about it as straight as the royal court. ”
He looked forward to his own pride, the words were indescribably heroic and brave, hundreds of horsemen behind him cheered together, everyone was high-spirited, and he didn't put the Mengyuan iron horse in his eyes.
"Don't be careless!" the Knight-in-Chief frowned and exclaimed. "Su Gongzi is extremely talented, such an arrangement has its own intentions, how can you and I speculate! You still need to be careful, don't miss a big deal, otherwise how can you repay Gongzi and me for their great kindness?"
When the knight heard him mention his kindness, he immediately became stunned, and immediately bowed down with his fists in response, and said loudly: "Yes, the little brother will live up to his trust." ”
The leading knight's face softened slightly, and he nodded and said no more. The knight turned his horse's head, and with a soft cry in his mouth, rode away, and half of the men behind him quickly followed, and went straight in the other direction.
The knight fell last, ran a few steps and suddenly reined in his horse, and hesitated: "Brothers, you have to drag them all the time, I am afraid that you will have to fight hard." Why don't you keep two more squads? ”
The leading knight waved his hand indifferently, and said indifferently: "Old Five, you go your own way, we don't have to worry about it." Since it is a lure to the enemy, the emphasis is on a lure word, how can you be willing to confront them head-on? Don't worry, go quickly. ”
The knight hesitated slightly, then said no more, clenched his fists heavily, and struck his horse away again, and disappeared at the end of heaven and earth in a moment.
Staring at the old May Day team gone, the leading knight withdrew his gaze, turned to look at the riders behind him, took a deep breath, and shouted: "Go!"
Everyone responded in unison, and in the midst of the shouting, the war horse neighed, roared, and rushed out like rolling thunder.
At the beginning of this day, there was a sudden chaos in the northwest grassland.
Approaching the direction of the Central Plains border pass, a knight wearing a mandarin duck jacket and three small flags on his back galloped over, and after a few words of conversation with the defenders of the pass, he flashed into the pass, and then went straight to Ningxia.
Half a day later, Yang Yiqing sat in the lobby with a thoughtful face, holding a military newspaper in his hand, and was speechless.
Approaching the direction of the Ming Frontier, more than ten tribes were suddenly attacked in the past few days, the Mengyuan herdsmen suffered heavy casualties, countless cattle, sheep and livestock were killed, and large areas of grassland and felt bags were burned.
No one could tell who did it, and it was reported in the newspaper that all the people who came were cavalrymen, and even their heads and faces were covered in green scarves. came suddenly, without saying a word, it was a rush to kill and set fire, but it was not to kill them all, but it seemed to be purely for destruction.
Everyone is a double ride, coming and going like the wind, without unnecessary pauses. At most, he rushed to kill two back and forth, and then whistled and rode away, so that people couldn't catch up. In just three days, more than a dozen tribes have been attacked in a row.
The victims were furious, and when they reacted, they all took up their swords and mounted their horses, vowing to find these people for revenge. However, no one could find any trace of these people.
And as the scope of the destruction grew, more Mongolians were involved. When they couldn't find it, everyone's anger and depression were getting bigger and bigger, and under the accumulation, some tribes had begun to attack each other.
Among the tribes on the grassland, the weak eat the strong, and the attacks are continuous. to each other, so I don't know how much hatred has been accumulated. Now, it is winter, and there is not enough food or hay for cattle and sheep. Being hit like this again suddenly makes it even worse.
It doesn't matter if you don't have enough food, you don't have enough pasture, you just grab it, and the descendants of Temujin are never afraid to fight.
According to the consistent tradition, the target of the robbery was naturally the Han people in the Guannai. This has been the case in previous years, although there are also people who have lost their lives because of this, but as long as it is not too deep, causing the encirclement and suppression of the Han border army, it will always be rewarded to a greater or lesser extent.
But not this year, because the battle between Dayan Khan and the national teacher Yismayin reached a critical juncture, and there was a sudden rebellion of the Yibu Thorn Division, so that Dayan Khan had to try to pacify the Ming Dynasty first, so as not to attract the Ming army to attack and be difficult to take care of.
Therefore, Dayan Khan issued a strict order that all tribes must not take the initiative to provoke the Ming army this year. Otherwise, without the Ming army coming, Dayan Khan would have plucked their heads first.
The Han people can't count on it, at least not this year. So what to do? It doesn't matter, you can beat yourself up.
Whoever has the biggest fist on the grassland is justified, since someone has already muddied the water, then simply take advantage of the situation and let go of the robbery. Although it is not as good as robbing the Han people of their abundant oil and water, if they succeed, it can also greatly alleviate the difficulties of their tribe.
Maybe it can even make the tribe grow stronger. Every big tribe on the grassland has risen in this way, which is the law of survival of the grassland.
As for the green scarf thieves, God kills them, but if they encounter them, of course, they will not hesitate to destroy them to avenge their blood. But if you can't meet it, you don't have to worry too much. Even after the initial outburst, many tribes quietly prayed that they would not meet. Those thieves are fierce and tight, and if they really want to match, maybe who will kill whom.
So, under this strange thought, the entire southern part of the grassland gradually became turbulent. Everyone is under the banner of searching for the green scarf thief, but in fact, they are constantly fighting each other, and the drama of annexing each other is endless.
It's messed up, it's completely messed up.
Dayan Khan didn't care about it at first, this kind of thing was commonplace in the steppe, and there was nothing strange about it. But when he finally realized that something was wrong and tried to suppress it again, he found that it was too late. The tribes have long been killed by each other, and there are skirmishes everywhere, like cow hair, where can they be controlled?
Especially at this moment, he is anxiously waiting for the agreement with the Ming Dynasty, and he has to beware of Yisimayin's sneak attack, so he can't spare too much strength to manage these things.
Fortunately, they are all small tribes, at most, the road is not quiet, and there are just more killings, but it will not affect the overall situation. As a result, the royal court only issued a warning order, expressing the dissatisfaction of Yan Khan, and let them go.
But when the news came to Yang Yiqing, Yang Yiqing saw something wrong from it.
The first is that the appearance of these so-called green scarf thieves is too abrupt. Although there is chaos on the grassland, there are often horse thieves who are wreaking, but how can horse thieves ever be so merciful?
Those outlaws who have lost their conscience almost never leave a living mouth, and often the entire tribe is slaughtered. Only some women were taken captive for their sexual pleasure. Not to mention leaving any belongings behind, this is by no means a horse thief's modusion.
But if they are not horse thieves, why should they walk in masks? Moreover, they have attacked more than ten tribes in a row, so they are not afraid of being attacked by a group, and there is no place for them to settle down? You must know that even horse thieves must have several fixed rear, otherwise, it is impossible for people to stay on the grassland for a long time if they eat and feed them.
Unless, these people simply won't stay on the steppe for long. Only in this way will there be such unscrupulous destruction.
But what is the purpose of these people? There is nothing to be gained by doing so, except to make the whole steppe chaotic. Could it be that the newcomers want to stand up? No, the main thing is that the time is wrong.
In this season, who is not busy stockpiling up for the winter on the grassland? Even Liwei will never let go of so many supplies in vain.
Then, who could it be? What is the purpose? Yang Yiqing thought hard, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, and a human-dog-like face flashed in his mind.......
"Could it be him?this kid, what does he want to do......." Thinking of that face, Yang Yiqing became even more confused. He whispered a few words, then shook his head again, and drove the thought out of his mind.
No way, it doesn't do him the slightest. Unless he is tired of life, he will die of his own accord. Forget it, let's take a look.
Thinking so, he put down the news and instructed the people to continue to keep an eye on the development of the situation, and wait until the news was more sufficient, and then make a correct judgment.
However, just three days later, another piece of news came, which completely shocked Yang Yiqing. No, to be exact, it was not only Yang Yiqing who was shocked, but the entire grassland and the entire border pass were shocked.
In the northern part of the steppe, some people claimed to have found the tomb of Genghis Khan, and carried out small-scale excavations, and escaped after obtaining a large number of treasures......
