Chapter Twenty-Three: Prairie Night
Out of Daxingfu, all the way to the north for dozens of miles, in the past, even the mountains were like rushing waves, and the highest peak was still snow-capped. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is the territory of the White Horse tribe, whose ancestors have lived in the grass for generations, and their chief is a female general named Dedema, who has a hunting flag fluttering and embroidered with a horse's head.
It is said that they thought that they migrated from Tiemen Pass after Ma Teng of the Three Kingdoms, so the name of the female general came from this.
On the grassland, the purple horse lotus thorns are blooming in clusters, and the white yurts are one after another. The cyan river in the distance is a major branch of the Yellow River, the big suspension bridge on the river, swaying in the past is the Taiqingguan of Tianji, more than a dozen camps of the Tianji Battalion are open one by one, to welcome Liang Wangzun and Cao Bingkun, the deputy commander of the Heavenly Army.
Who are these people standing in the two platoons?
The hair is silver, light yellow, and red, and the color of the eyes is also willful, and the skin color is white, yellow, and light brown, and there are two pitch-black Kunlun slaves, mixed with more than a dozen little Taoist priests, those foreigners, wearing the martial arts uniform of Jin Liangguo, with two belts on both shoulders, wrist guards and leggings, fine straw shoes, and a fierce and majestic style of holding a sword and a sword, but he looks like a great knight, but this is obviously lazy to pull all the little apprentices of Tianjimen to fill the number, right?
Tianzhu Hes Dynasty and some other foreign people in the Western Regions Mu Tianji Dao have too many people to learn martial arts, of course, it's not free, it takes the children of rich families to learn, and the little Taoist priest is a war orphan he adopted since he was a child, according to his old man's words, this is called robbing the rich and helping the poor.
Zun glanced at Lao Dao: "This is the legendary Tianji Battalion?" ”
Tianji Dao Chief: "Where did you tell me to find so many people who are the top in martial arts for a while, who do you want to deal with, you say, with my sword control skills, your sword skills, Lao Cao's divine shooting, Yue Shuilian's secret skills, who else is the opponent!" ”
Yue Shuilian said: "Don't count me, I won't go crazy with you!" ”
"Women are just unreliable, why don't we go back to the Yuedao group to recruit people......"
The head of the Heavenly Machine Dao took the dust whisk to catch the bees.
Cao Bingkun smiled: "This is a good way, there is only one light rod left in the month of Qianzhong, see what spells he still has." ”
"Sure enough, are you still going to trouble those people? It's best to stop, they are Ouchi's secret agents, the people who run errands for the emperor, in this Kyoto realm, if things don't come to the door, you should burn high incense! ”
It was the first time that Yue Shuilian agreed with Tianji's statement so much.
Tianji Lao Dao and the female chief of the White Horse Clan are close friends, which makes Zun, Cao Bingkun and Yue Shuilian laugh.
When the female general Dedema came in, they felt that there was no need to laugh, it was a tall and mighty woman in military armor, already over fifty years old, with a resolute face, and when she was young, she led her people to the battlefield to fight, made military achievements, and won a hundred battles.
But this is just the words of her family, according to the old way of heaven, she may have fought a war, may have been defeated. Otherwise, why is it so powerful, why doesn't the court use her?
Dedema came in and listened to the introduction of the old man, looked at Zun, and applauded: What a character! It's a pity that I'm blind in one eye.
Bow down and stand up.
She drank the late penalty wine and answered Tianji's question every time they met: "I'm not used to seeing that demon who takes off Yanfei!" Why did he control the three princes and nine kings of the Manchu Dynasty with a lowly and excellent service? ”
Tianji's old mouth has always hurt others and is not good for himself: "Don't make excuses for yourself, you will win a hundred battles, just your eight thousand scum soldiers, my Tianji Battalion will destroy it overnight!" Isn't it? Dede donkey?
The young man called Dede Donkey was the son of a female chief, in his twenties, with a big pie face, thin eyes, a beard, curly hair, and a violent temper, and he was furious: "Master, how many times have you said it, the apprentice is called Dedelu, not Dede Donkey!"
"Really? Why do I think you're a donkey with your tail on? Do you dare not fight or dare not fight? “
"You can't fight! The apprentice of the Tianji Battalion gives you the main thing, but the White Horse Divine Soldier is under the command of his mother, how can he be a son to attack his mother? ”
Dedema was also furious: "Fight and fight, tonight to divide the victory, give you my son, and then I will slaughter your master and apprentice together!"
She had no husband, and his man was a nobody of the White Horse tribe, and after leaving her a son, he eloped with her beautiful maid. She doesn't believe in men anymore, as long as she has a drinking friend, that's Tianji Laodao, because Tianji's Taoist temple is in her territory.
The endless toast is sung, and the women on the grassland can really drink it!
According to the senior brothers of Lide and Virtue, they have all practiced martial arts since they were young.
Dedelu likes Zun very much, he often hears his master talk about him, but he doesn't dare to call him junior brother, only His Royal Highness King Liang. Because he and her mother were both courtiers of their Zhang family.
I have been drinking with him, but I am afraid that he will get drunk, which is what General Cao has instructed him to do.
Later, Tianji Lao Dao was a little overwhelmed, Cao Bingkun was even more drunk, he said in a daze: "Your Highness has been here for six days, go back to the mansion with the ministers tonight to rest, Jinzhigong and Hua'er have settled down, there are mosquitoes in these tents......"
No, this place is cool, and you refuse.
So Cao Bingkun also stayed, anyway, the emperor's birthday, the official family enlarged the holiday for three days, fireworks and lanterns, the whole city carnival, and the official office has been officially delivered. If you don't go to the capital, you don't know that you are a small official. A brick fell from the sky and killed three people, and there must be a squire and two imperial historians inside.
There were 250,000 of the emperor's forbidden army around Kyoto.
There are left and right dragon inlaid armies stationed on the north bank of the Yellow River, left and right dragon and tiger armies stationed in Yingzhou, left and right Shenwu armies stationed in Shizhou, left and right Shenwei armies stationed in the north of Wolf Poison Mountain, and left and right Guardian Army stationed in Weizhou, collectively referred to as the Ten Armies of Baotian.
His left and right Protectors were the smallest and the least numerous.
The task of the forbidden army was to defend the capital and prepare for the conquest.
Cao Bingkun let his nephews Cao Anmin and Cao Jimin lead the left and right Heavenly Protectors to defend the state.
I went to the commander of the guards to report to the subordinates of He Fei.
There are 10,000 guards in this army, of which 5,000 are the children of the nobles of the wealthy families of Jinliang, and there are 5,000 in the Imperial City Division, a total of 10,000 people, who specialize in guarding the outer court of the Reed Yuan Palace, divided into six shifts on duty, and another 5,000 proton troops, which are similar in nature to the guards, and are the children of the great leaders of various foreign tribes in the Jinliang country, and the children and nephews of the generals who lead the army abroad.
Cao Bingkun was transferred to the emperor's side, which means that his former free and easy days have come to an end, and he is trying to survive in the extremely narrow gap between the two parties of Totoku Yan Fei and Yinshan Qi Wang, the open gun is easy to dodge and the dark arrow is difficult to defend, and he worries every day that his head is still on his neck, damn! It's really tiring, more tiring than fighting.
In addition to worrying about himself, he was worried about Zun, and found out that the newly appointed Yizhou Assassin Shi was actually Fu Yong, the nephew of Fu Panlong, the commander of the Pingxi Army.
It's really that all the people in Jin Liangguo are dead, although Fu Panlong is forty-three years old this year, he shamelessly gives King Wei to take off Yan Fei as his godson, he is mean and unkind, jealous and jealous, he is a famous villain, what kind of good can his nephew be?
Suoyang City is his jurisdiction, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, how can he coexist peacefully with His Royal Highness King Liang? In the future, I am afraid that the days of Zun will be more difficult than myself.
He is full of sorrows, even more sorrowful when he gets drunk, and he worries about his son-in-law and worries about his daughter.
Drunk and muttered to himself: "This place in the capital...... Who's coming? ”
Tianji Lao Dao looked at Cao Bingkun like that, and said: "Eighty percent of them are the tigress who kicked him out."
Zun lay down and replied: "In the past, Mrs. Cao has always opposed Jing'er marrying into the Liangwang Mansion, but now that she has arrived in Kyoto, she must have remembered it again."
"Oh, I remembered, it doesn't seem to be what you said, the Daxing Mansion has been boiling these days, your second child, that is His Royal Highness King Qi, every day to General Cao's mansion to order, people who don't know, think he is Cao Bingkun's son-in-law, Lao Cao must be annoying him to hide here.
