Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Tianjing, Chapter 80: The Black Wolf (1)

Xu An and the three of them came out of the west gate and went straight to the northwest.

Shuhu Zhuo is familiar with the road, so he walks in the front to lead the way. On the road outside the city, you can occasionally meet people who enter the city, and they look like this, they are all wandering merchants who have returned to Datong City to prepare for the winter.

Except for these wandering merchants, they haven't seen many living people along the way, and less than half an hour after leaving the city, they have already seen more than a dozen corpses. Some of them also have signs of wild dogs and wolves.

"It looks like they're all border people." Guo Yi said.

"It's a pity, it should be that the Jin soldiers robbed the grain and wanted to go into the city to make a living." Xu An said and sighed.

If you die in the city, someone can still collect it, but if you die outside the city, you can only expose the corpse in the wilderness and be eaten by animals.

The three of them walked like this, talking at the same time, and after about an hour, Shuhu Zhuo turned around and said, "Teacher, the front is the military camp of the Black Wolf Army." ”

Guo Yi pulled the night lion to speed up his pace, and walked to the place where Shuhu Zhuo was standing, the terrain was slightly higher, and he saw that there was a vast grassland in front of him, because it was already autumn, and the grassland was slightly yellow. And there are hundreds of horses running in the grassland at this moment, these horses are of different colors, different heights, but they are all crowded together and running, the mane on the neck is raised high, like a battle flag, and the whole grassland is more real and beautiful than the picture scroll of the famous artist.

The black wolf was under the scorching body, and saw that the galloping horses were a little uncontrollable, and kept kicking the horses' hooves on the sand, and neighing from time to time.

"Is this the racetrack that the Black Wolf Army left behind? It's so good-looking. Guo Yi was impressed by the scene in front of him, and praised from the bottom of his heart, but his eyes searched the grassland, but he did not see the camp of the Black Wolf Army.

"It's just a small one, and three big ones are a little bit further west."

"Isn't that small?" Xu An looked surprised.

"The foundation of the Black Wolf Army is all Jin people who ran from the Jin country to the south, and they are all cavalry, and these racetracks are very necessary."

"Isn't the camp here?"

"After this grassland, you will be there." Shuhu Zhuo said, also looked at the Happy Valley, and said, "It stands to reason that someone should come here to pick us up." ”

"It's so big, it's so easy to find us. Let's go inside. As he spoke, Guo Yi clamped his legs, and the night lion quickened his pace and went towards the depths of the grassland.

When she really walked into the grassland, Guo Yi felt the difference. He has been in Datong for so long, and he has always thought that the surroundings of Datong City are the same, they are all contiguous deserts, with occasional drought-tolerant plants, only some trees around Datong City. I didn't expect there to be such a beautiful grassland in this harsh place.

The horses running on the grassland stopped at a distance of dozens of zhang and began to graze, as if they were monitoring Guo Yi and the others.

Suddenly, a group of cavalry appeared in the distance, each holding a long knife in his hand and a bow on his back, dressed as a standard golden soldier, but wearing the armor of a black man. When Guo Yi saw Shuhuzhuo's expression, he knew that this should be the person from the Black Wolf Army who came to pick him up.

The group was closer, and a big man at the front waved his whip and shouted something. Shuhu Zhuo heard it, and also stepped forward to respond in the same language, Guo Yi guessed that it was the language of the Jin Kingdom.

The big man rushed to the front, and he turned over and dismounted directly, and ran towards Shuhu Zhuo, who also dismounted and hugged the big man, and the big man's laughter was hearty and resounded through the world.

Shu Hu Zhuo and Dahan separated, he turned to Guo Yi and introduced: "Teacher, this is the commander of the fourth battalion of the Black Wolf Army, and also my father's brother, Wu Yan Teng. ”

The big man called Wu Yan Teng had already learned from the letter that Shu Hu Zhuo was already Guo Yi's student, and at this moment he respectfully saluted Guo Yi and said in Chinese: "Wu Yan Teng, the commander of the fourth battalion of the Black Wolf Army, see General Guo. ”

Although the Black Wolf Army has 5,000 people, it is only a guard formation, and Shuhumu and the battalion commander of the upper four battalions all died in the ambush of the Jin Kingdom, and the Black Wolf Army has not been in command for so long. Although Shuhumu named Guo Yi to take over the Black Wolf Army, he has not even been to the camp of the Black Wolf Army these days, and the operation of the Black Wolf Army has actually been carried by Wu Yanteng, the commander of the fourth battalion of the Middle School.

Guo Yi stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, at first he stood far away and didn't feel it, but when he got closer, he found that this person was half a head taller than himself, Guo Yi smiled and looked at the group of accompanying soldiers behind him, all of them were tall and big, and then said: "Why are you all so strong, what is a good way to say it, let me grow taller too." ”

Guo Yi's little joke immediately washed away the embarrassment of everyone's first meeting, and Wu Yan Teng was already a hearty man, so he talked to Guo Yi and led Guo Yi and the three of them to the camp.

"How many people are there in the Black Wolf Army today?" Guo Yi and Wu Yanteng exchanged a few words of greeting and went straight to the topic.

"The upper four battalions are gone, only the middle four battalions and the lower four battalions remain, and there are about 3,400 people."

"What about the horses, how many more?"

"There are still horses left, probably more than 4,000. Many of the mounts that had been riding out of the Fourth Battalion at that time had found their own way and ran back. ”

Guo Yi looked at a small group of horses passing not far away, and this time he got closer, and he saw the smooth coat color and strong muscles of those horsesβ€”the Jin people trained the horses, and they really had more sets than the Han people.

"The Black Wolf Army camp is lonely in the western suburbs, if the Jin soldiers come to attack, what will happen at that time." Guo Yi asked such a question about precautions.

"Twenty miles outside the camp, we have stepped down the eyeline, we can respond as soon as the golden soldiers come, we will fight if there are fewer people, and we will run if there are more people."

Guo Yi nodded, but he had doubts in his heart, and said, "Today we have arrived at the first racecourse, why did you appear, could it be that we ran away from the sight of the sentry rider?" ”

Hearing this question, Wu Yanteng's face suddenly became a little embarrassed, he looked at Shu Hu Zhuo on the side, saw Shu Hu Zhuo talking to his own soldiers, did not look here, and said: "Mr. Guo, I won't hide it from you, we actually found you early in the morning and wanted to come out to meet you." But ......"

"But is there anyone in the Black Wolf Army who doesn't like me or hates me?" Guo Yi said the second half of the sentence herself.

"That's the case, so we came out today, and it took a little more talk."

"In that case, I can't help it." Guo Yi smiled and said, "I'm in a similar situation in the Quartet Army, but I have subdued them. ”

Wu Yanteng's eyes lit up, and he said: "Mr. Guo, if you set up another competition in the ring today, it is estimated that no one will be able to find fault with you." He scratched his head and said, "Most of the Black Wolf Army are not Han, so we don't pay so much attention to the rules, what we value is whose fists are hard." ”

"Is Shuhu Wood the hardest fist?"

"Yes." Wu Yanteng nodded proudly.

Guo Yi naturally agreed with Wu Yanteng's statement, but thinking about what Shu Huzhuo had said to him a few days ago, he said, "Actually, I don't want to be the leader of this black wolf army. ”

As soon as these words came out, Wu Yanteng's face darkened, he was a Jin man, and he took it for granted that Guo Yi was the same as that Ma Dahai, looking down on this Jin army that was only fighting for the Han Dynasty, so he said coldly, and said: "General Guo, if it weren't for Brother Shuhu giving you this position, do you think that you are a Han man, enough to be the commander of the Black Wolf Army?" ”

said that the general army of Datong was not worthy of being the commander of the Black Wolf Army, which made Guo Yi a little funny, but he saw that Wuyan Teng had misunderstood, so he hurriedly said loudly: "General Wuyan misunderstood, I mean, this position is sat by Shuhu Zhuo." ”

"You said Ah Zhuo?" When Wu Yanteng heard this, he didn't have time to apologize, so he blurted out: "Ah Zhuo, you're too young." ”

When Shuhu Zhuo heard his name, he led the horse over and said, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Little thing, return the Black Wolf Army to you." Guo Yi smiled and said, "Do you want it?" ”

"Of course, why not?" Shuhu Zhuo immediately agreed.
