Chapter 549: The Methods of the Liao Military Envoy
You must know that in the army, on the battlefield, the horses are the legs of the soldiers, and without the horses, the vanguard will have no way to break up the enemy's formation.
It's a bit strange that so many horses are suddenly like this.
Qi Jingyun knew where the stable was, so he took Qiao Mingyue to the stable, and from a distance, he saw several dead horses, and several soldiers were planning to dispose of the horses' corpses on the side.
A man with five big and three rough scolded: "His grandmother, this group of turtle grandsons, will use these indiscriminate methods, and Lao Tzu will lead the soldiers to slaughter them!"
While scolding, he was about to leave with a few of his subordinates, but he was scolded by Yu Feilong, as soon as the man turned around, he saw Qi Jingyun, and he was stunned for a long time before he showed a happy expression.
"Little ...... ......As soon as the small character came out, Qi Jingyun covered his mouth and looked at him threateningly, and the man nodded in hindsight.
Qi Jingyun let go of him, frowned, and said, "Your noisy temperament has not changed!" What's going on? ”
Qi Jingyun looked at the stable, many of the horses in the stable looked sick, and some even lay on the ground and couldn't get up.
When the man heard the anger that had been suppressed, he couldn't help but feel angry again, "I'm angry when I say it, this must have been done by the group of deflated calves in the west!" Those barbarians, all day long, know how to use these indiscriminate methods! ”
To the west of the Great Zhou, is the Western Liao country, the Western Liao people are good at fighting immediately, fighting with it, it is necessary to ride a horse, a few years ago the Western Liao and the Great Zhou joined forces to repel the Southern Zhao, the relationship between the two countries is also good, and later the population of the Western Liao is increasing, and the pasture is not enough for cattle and sheep to eat.
He often crossed the border to graze in the pastures of the Great Zhou, at first it was nothing, but it was just a matter between the people, but once the matter was so big that people died, the officials of the Great Zhou detained and sentenced the Western Liao people who killed people.
The relatives of the Western Liao people were dissatisfied with the sentence given to him by the officials of the Great Zhou, so they brought people to the land of the Great Zhou to make trouble, which alarmed the soldiers on the border, and the soldiers intervened, and the matter became bigger and bigger, and later the soldiers of the two countries also moved.
This matter became more and more troublesome, coupled with the connivance of the Western Liao, which led to the gradual exchange between the two countries, and the most important thing is that the relationship between the Great Zhou and Nanzhao gradually improved at this time, which led to the fact that the relationship between Western Liao and the Great Zhou was no longer a common resistance to Nanzhao.
There are no scruples between the two countries, and there are often conflicts on the border, although the Zhennan army is used to block the Nanzhao army, but now it is more to mediate with the people of Western Liao.
"Come back! Don't mess around until you find out what is going on! Yu Feilong came out of the stable, different from when he was with them, at this time, facing the soldiers in the army, Yu Feilong's body exuded an unquestionable decisiveness.
The man was like a mouse seeing a cat, and just now he was clamoring to teach the people of Xiliao a lesson, but when he heard Yu Feilong say this, he suddenly wilted, and only muttered in a low voice: "Do you still need to check this?" It must have been the work of those grandchildren! ”
Yu Feilong's cold gaze fell on the man, he slammed his mouth and didn't say anything more.
Seeing this, Qi Jingyun couldn't help laughing, and put the folding fan in his hand on the man's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Qian Yue, I didn't expect that I haven't seen you for a few years, and you are still so afraid of wood!"
"Who is like you, no big or small!" Qian Yue muttered, stood obediently behind Yu Feilong, and didn't say anything more.
Qiao Mingyue saw that they were discussing the affairs of Xiliao, she didn't know much about the country of Xiliao, so she couldn't help, so she could only go to the stable to see the situation of the war horses.
After looking around the stable, some of the horses were in serious condition and were dying, while some of them could still eat grass normally, and asked the soldiers who took care of the horses, and learned that the horses ate the forage in the manger on weekdays, and would rush to the river outside to drink water every day.
They have already checked this forage, and it is not poisonous, as for the water, the river is flowing, if there is really someone who is poisonous, it is not easy to be poisonous in the river.
Listening to the soldier's words, Qiao Mingyue nodded, looking at the forage that the horses were eating, these forages were a little special, "What's mixed here?" ”
Qiao Mingyue bent down to take some grass with a special color in the grass and asked, the soldier was busy saying that this is a unique grass in this area, and it grows the most vigorously in spring and autumn, and every time at this time, they have to cut some and add food to the horses.
Horses prefer this fresh forage to hay.
Qiao Mingyue had never seen this grass, so she proposed to go to the place where they usually cut this kind of grass to have a look.
"I know where this grass is, if you want to go and see it, I'll take you there!" Qi Jingyun didn't know when he walked behind Qiao Mingyue, and when he saw that she wanted to find this kind of grass, he offered to take her there.
Qiao Mingyue nodded, the two rode all the way to the west on the snow, the sky gradually darkened, the afterglow of the sunset dyed the earth red, Qi Jingyun hugged Qiao Mingyue from behind and hugged him.
The horses galloped, the grassland was endless, and at a glance, there was a boundless vast grassland, and there were very low and low red clouds, as if you could grasp them with a stretch of hand.
The strong wind blew in his ears, blowing Qiao Mingyue's hair, Qi Jingyun's breathing and the sound of the horse's trampling came one after another, as if there was nothing else in heaven and earth, only this horse and two people.
"Don't you want to try horseback riding in the pasture! What do you think? How does it feel? His voice sounded in her ears, and Qiao Mingyue turned around, just in time to see those smiling eyes, staring at her with a burning gaze.
With a tremor in her heart, she smiled and nodded, "It feels like she has the whole world!" It feels like there is only us in heaven and earth, Jingyun...... If everything is over, we will find a place between mountains and rivers, and no longer ask about the world, how about it? ”
Looking at Qi Jingyun quietly, Qiao Mingyue waited for his answer, Qi Jingyun reached out and scratched her nose, her eyes were full of doting.
"I've already answered such a question, and if you want to, now, I can leave everything behind and take you away." His gaze was unprecedentedly serious, and he said word by word, extremely solemn.
Looking at Qi Jingyun, Qiao Mingyue shook her head gently, it's not okay, it's not time yet, if you leave now, the prince won't be at ease after he ascends the throne, the world is so big, it is not the king's land, where can they go?
Only by really letting the crown prince understand that his existence does not pose a threat, or rather, let him understand that not everyone in this world covets the royal power, can they get real freedom.
