The slanting sun does not see the slanting sun, and the mountains and trees are dyed yellow. The old cow of Mo Dao is full, and the shepherd's furnace is fragrant.

In four simple sentences, the scenery outside the gate of a grassland is vividly depicted with the old cow mooing and the smoke of the old cow, and the picture jumps on the paper, as if in front of you.

But since ancient times, the best description of the grassland scenery is probably "The Song of Eile".

Eilechuan, under the Yin Mountain.

The sky is like a dome, covering the four wildernesses.

The sky is vast and wild, and the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.

"The sky is like a dome covering the four fields", the simple text makes people feel a sense of the vastness of the world at a glance, and the artistic conception of the high ground and the distance of the sky arises spontaneously in the ink rhyme.

Grassland scenery, this Southern Dynasty folk song is definitely the pinnacle, and there is no work to surpass.

Dusk came to the grassland for the second time, and he had studied the "Song of Ele".

In addition to being shocked, a little embarrassed, educated people can write these poems, like themselves after coming to the Yumu River with half-irrigated water, looking at the grassland that is not an authentic grassland, it seems that it is impossible to become a poem in seven steps.

Seven hundred steps will not work.

can only sigh, but he has no culture, and he walks the world in a slot.

Behind him, the six demon queens of the Western Regions were fully armed and extremely vigilant, and there was an old soldier in charge of translation, who was also frightened, but he was not worried at all, according to the spy report, thirty miles away, it was the station of the 30,000 Tatar cavalry.

I've already encountered the scouts of the other side.

At this moment, the scout team of five people followed far behind, in fact, there were fifty scouts in this standard, and the remaining forty-five people had already been scattered, beware of a large army following behind Dusk and the others.

Of course, Xu Huizu found five hundred iron horses.

However, both sides were restrained.

The purpose of Xu Huizu and the others is to protect Dusk, and the purpose of the scouts is to find the enemy's traces, not to mention five hundred iron horses, there is no need to be afraid at all, and the young man with six Western Regions Enchantresses with him said, This is the escort sent to welcome the little girl back.

The scouts were relieved when they were sure that there were no other troops.

It's not that I look down on Daming.

Five hundred iron horsemen is really not enough for everyone to stuff their teeth.

It is to let them go with confidence.

There were still thirty miles to the Tatar army, and there was no hurry at dusk, anyway, he was here to delay time, and asked Cassily and Muhammura with a smile, "Have you ever read a poem by my Da Ming, the famous 'The Desert Lonely Smoke Straight to the Long River Sunset'?" ”

The two women shook their heads.

Dusk smiled and said, in fact, this kind of artistic conception can also be understood on the grassland, but one is full of vitality and the other is dead and silent, so in terms of atmosphere, it is more feeling at the border pass on the Western Regions, and on the grassland side, most of them still give people a sense of happiness that the sky is high and the fish is jumping, while the desert side is an endless and hopeless sense of despair.

The women such as Muhammura and Cassiri saw the steppe for the first time and were shocked.

Hearing Dusk's words, the two girls didn't know how to answer.

However, the old man in charge of the translation, who should have been a battle-hardened person for a long time, sighed when he heard this: "How does the general know that this boundless grassland is actually the same as the desert." ”

If the two armies are fighting, it is good to win, but if they lose, its boundlessness can also make people feel desperate.

The only good thing is that there will be no shortage of water.

Dusk nodded, "This can't be helped, the limitations of the times, but it doesn't matter, wait for him for a few more decades, and when I get the infrastructure well, this boundless grassland will become my Ming Dynasty's back garden, and the place to go green!" ”

The old pawn smiled, some words he didn't understand.

For example, he doesn't understand the word infrastructure.

But he felt that General Huang was bragging, turning the grassland into the back garden of the Ming Dynasty, which was something that the kings of previous dynasties could not do, if you General Huang did it, you would be the first person in Wumiao for a hundred years after your death.

Coincidentally, the old pawn is also surnamed Huang.

Huang Qi.

In his forties, his comrades-in-arms have changed over the years, and he is still the lowest-level soldier, but he has been at the border for a long time, has had a lot of contact with the Mobei people, and has learned the grassland dialect.

Huang Qile said hehehe: "General Huang, can you ask something?" ”

Twilight smiled, "But just ask." ”

"How did Annan get there?"

"It's that Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng cooperated, and then they easily came down, there is one thing to say, Annan soldiers are indeed inferior to the grassland children, of course, this is mainly because Hu Hancang's father and son lost the hearts of the people, and they acted perversely, he will not die."

"Has General Huang ever been on the battlefield?"

"Yes, in the year of the Mei Yin Rebellion, the Tatar invasion of the south, I followed His Majesty to Yumuchuan, well, that time was a little embarrassing, in fact, I didn't get much military merit."

Huang Qi's eyes were a little gloomy, "Everyone in the army is saying that they may fight Tatar and Warat this year, but there is no movement, Your Majesty is not going to send troops to the grassland?" ”

Dusk was surprised, "What, you still want to fight?" ”

Huang Qi smiled and said nothing.

Who wants war?

It's just that some people are alive, in fact, just to tell their dead brothers, your blood, I will personally let them come back, that's all, I, Huang Qi, an old pawn, just want to be worthy of my brother and the conscience of heaven and earth.

Dusk didn't know the deep thoughts of the old soldier beside him, and was silent for a while, and said: "Next year, no matter whether the war is won or lost this time, the troops will be sent in the spring of next year, at most two years, and the Tatars, Warats, and Uliangha will all become clouds of history." ”

Mobei will be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Then with Mobei as a springboard, the Ming Dynasty had to fight the vast land in the Li and the Western Regions, and the Ming Dynasty had to go to the road of conquering the world even if it was a reckless army.

The predecessors planted trees and the later people enjoyed the shade.

The tree must be planted by itself.

Huang Qi didn't even want to laugh anymore, secretly thinking that this General Huang would really fool people, no wonder he could become the favorite minister of the Son of Heaven, which emperor was not happy to hear these words?

……

……

"You said that someone came to negotiate, but did the other party say that it was King Ning's person?"

Mahadan pressed the scimitar on his waist, a little puzzled.

If it is the person of Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, his fief is in Nanchang, it is impossible to come so quickly, and Zhu Di will definitely not allow Zhu Quan to do this - Zhu Di is in Shuntian!

"The scout reported that there was indeed a team of men and horses, an envoy, with six family concubines and an old soldier in charge of translation, as well as five hundred Ming iron horsemen. ”

Mahadan sneered, "There is a deception in this matter. ”

But what was wrong, Mahadan couldn't say for a while.

pondered for a long time, "Is there any movement on the side of Daming Kaipingwei?" What useful news have been sent out by the spies of Naturalization, Xuanfu, Datong, Daning, and Quanning? ”

Bagen shook his head, "Kaiping Wei, the three thousand Ming guards have put on a defensive posture under the command of Xu Zhen, obviously they haven't figured out our intentions yet, and on the side of Guihua City, Xuanfu, and Datong, our spies have actually been almost cleared by the Daming Jinyi Guard, but there is news from Daning's side, saying that Daning's soldiers and horses are divided into two ways, one is going to join forces with Quanning and rush to Yingchang, and some are returning to help Juyong Pass, it seems that they are worried that we will attack Juyong Pass after bypassing Kaiping, so they want to create a line of defense, It may be that he is afraid that we will break through the defense line of the Great Wall from Juyong Pass and approach the Jingshi of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Ma Hadan nodded, "This is expected, what I am worried about at the moment is that I am afraid that the forces of Xuanfu and Datong will cut our retreat after going around." ”

Bagan laughed, "The cavalry at the Daming border pass can stop us?" ”

If you want to leave, you can do it anytime.
