Chapter 735: This Old Fox

"General, what are you talking about? How is Qinghe Hou? The galloping Wang Li slowly stopped, turned his head and shouted at Meng Tian.

Meng Tian also grabbed the reins and slowly slowed down, and finally the two walked side by side.

"If it weren't for the invention of this stirrup saddle by the Marquis of Qinghe, I don't know when my Daqin will be able to sweep Henan ......and Hebei," Meng Yi rode on his horse, looking at the endless prairie with flowers and plants in front of him, and said with emotion.

"The general is reasonable, the Marquis of Qinghe is a disciple of the immortal family, and the items invented and made are exquisite, this saddle stirrup and horseshoes are really small compared to other inventions, and they are not worth mentioning!" Wang Li also nodded with affection.

"Oh, does the Marquis of Wucheng know what other wonderful inventions and creations the Marquis of Qinghe has?" Meng Yi instantly became curious.

"Cement turned into mud and stone, a big iron mill driven by a waterwheel, a thunderous firework, a four-wheeled carriage that turns flexibly......" Wang Li began to say the same with his fingers, and finally said with a mouth full of drool, "Actually, what Qinghe Hou is best at is making delicious food, and each of them makes someone want to eat!" ”

"Wu Chenghou said that these generals have not seen or eaten, it seems that when I return to Xianyang one day, I must take a good look and go to the Qinghe Hotel opened by Qinghe Hou to have a good taste!" Meng Yi smiled and nodded repeatedly.

"In fact, these are still secondary, the most memorable memory is the Taiyi Divine Thunder and Taiyi Divine Musket invented and produced by Qinghe Hou, the release of the fire is also accompanied by the sound of thunder, when the Taiyi Divine Thunder explodes, the radius of dozens of zhang chickens and dogs are not left, and the Taiyi Divine Musket is dozens of zhang away to take people's lives like ......blowing ashes," Wang Li said with a look of memory on his face.

"These two samples will also be heard, but they only hear their names and don't see their shapes, it's a pity, but it's a pity that this general can't get out of the northwest, otherwise I will go to visit the Marquis of Qinghe to appreciate the power of these two immortal arts!" Meng Yi regretted it.

"The general may have a chance to go back soon......," Wang Li quickly closed his mouth as he spoke, and then pointed to a hillside in front of him with his horsewhip and said, "General, we are nearly a hundred miles away from the pass, how about we rest and drink here?" ”

"Good!"

Soon, a group of people rode to the top of this hillside, and looked around, only to see rolling green grasslands on all sides, and the way to the road could only vaguely see the faint mountains on the horizon, the pass of the Great Wall had long been invisible, and below the hillside was a small stream, which meandered for three or four miles and then poured into a small lake that was as smooth as a realm.

The lake is surrounded by flowers, hundreds of Hun tents are sparsely scattered and scattered in it, herds of cattle, sheep and horses graze on the nearby streams and hillsides, and the singing of Xiongnu girls can be heard in the distance.

Just when a group of people dismounted and sat on the hillside to rest and drink water and watch, they saw a group of people in the yurt around the small lake quickly gathered and rode their horses, and it seemed that the sound of shouting could be heard from a distance, and a group of guards suddenly became nervous, and began to take off their bows and crossbows and prepare for battle under the beckoning of the leader of the guards.

"Don't be nervous, these Huns have already been killed, how dare you attack my Great Qin soldiers again, just sit quietly!" Meng Yi put down the skin bag containing water in his hand and waved his hand and said.

But a group of guards still did not dare to relax their vigilance, and soon the group of people got closer and closer, led by an old Hun man wearing a leather jacket and a felt hat, followed by more than a dozen people all wearing shabby leather jackets and not carrying any weapons, unkempt like savages.

The group of people ran to the bottom of the hillside and turned over and dismounted together to wait, only the old man slowly climbed up the hill alone, knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few feet away from Meng Yi and others, and said in a very stiff Central Plains dialect: "Pudan, the leader of the Taggo tribe, welcomes the arrival of the generals!" ”

"Get up!" Meng Yi nodded, and the old man slowly got up, trembling and not daring to look up at Meng Yi and Wang Li and the others.

"I'll wait for my leisure to go out hunting today, pass by here to rest, your place is good, go back and arrange a few young women to come and serve, we are going to barbecue and drink wine here!"

"Yes, General, Pudan will go back and make arrangements!"

The old man learned the etiquette of the Central Plains and bowed down and retreated, and after going down the mountain, he left with a group of people in a flash, and soon saw a sound of scolding near the yurt in the distance, and soon saw someone leading a few women over, and a few bundles of firewood and grass with horses.

"Hehe, sure enough, as the general said, these Huns have been killed!" Wang Li looked at the Hun man who was holding his head and running after leaving firewood and grass and a few Hun girls, and couldn't help laughing.

"In the two wars, Li Xin and Jiang Hu killed tens of thousands of adult Xiongnu men in total, these Hu barbarians are already small, and now there is almost no adult man in this Xiongnu tribe who can shoot bows and arrows, how dare you fight against us......

When Meng Tian spoke, he beckoned a few trembling Hun girls to come over, and asked them to light firewood and grass, and then arranged for a few guards to ride horses to search for prey, and shoot a few rabbits or yellow sheep to barbecue.

Soon after the guards left, the leader of the Tagos, Pudan, came with two more people, and brought not only two slaughtered and skinned sheep, but also several bags of mare's milk wine.

Wang Li opened the skin, smelled a fishy smell and couldn't help frowning, then took a sip, squirted out with a pop, threw the skin away, stood up angrily, pulled out the iron sword on his waist and put it on Pudan's chest and was furious: "It's sour and sassy, it's so unpleasant, could it be that you want to poison Ben Hou?" ”

Pu Dan and the two clansmen were frightened and knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately, "General spare your life, this mare's milk wine is not long brewed, and it is already the best thing we can entertain guests......"

"Don't be angry with the Marquis of Wucheng, there were two wars last year, these barbarians should indeed have no good things!" Meng Tian stood up and stopped Wang Li, and then said to the old man, "We are not used to drinking these mare's milk wines, you better take them back, we have our own wine!" ”

"Hmph~ If it weren't for the general to intercede for you, he would have beheaded your dog!" Wang Li fiercely withdrew his long sword and thrust it back into the scabbard, then took out a bottle of wine from Fan's Winery from the coat on horseback, opened it and spit it on the ground.

Seeing Wang Li squirting out a mouthful full of red liquid, Pu Dan was so frightened that he almost fainted.

"Whew, grape wine is the real fairy wine, these barbarian wines are worse than urine!"

Wang Li seemed to have finally come to his senses, raised the wine bottle and took a few big sips, sat down with a wipe of his mouth, and then instructed a few girls to set up the two sheep for barbecue.

Soon, there was a smell of barbecued meat, Pu Dan and the two clansmen knelt on the ground and did not dare to leave, Wang Ben and Meng Tian did not care about them, the two talked about some anecdotes published in the Daqin Metropolis Daily, while drinking and waiting for the mutton to be roasted.

Half an hour passed, and a few hunting guards turned around, carrying three rabbits and a wild deer, with long arrows and crossbow arrows stuck in their bodies, and blood dripping all the way.

Skinned and disemboweled, there was no need to wash it, and a group of guards took it upon themselves to put on a wooden stick and roast it on the fire, and brushed some sauce and salt on it as they roasted.

Wang Li brought dozens of bottles of wine, and the five of these guards also allocated a bottle, and sat around drinking and laughing.

"Goodong~"

Smelling the smell of roasted meat wafting through the air and the fresh aroma of wine, Pudan and the two clansmen couldn't help but start to swallow.

Meng Tian casually took out a bottle of wine and threw it in front of Pudan and said, "This is the grape wine made by me in the Central Plains, I will give you a taste, go!" ”

"Thank you, General!" Pudan excitedly hugged the delicate ceramic wine bottle, kowtowed, and then stood up and led the two clansmen away.

"Why waste a bottle of grape wine, these barbarians only deserve to drink horse urine!" Wang Li shook his head disdainfully.

"Hehe, the war of annihilation, to subjugate, to win, these barbarians now seem to be docile, but in fact the heart is extremely ruthless, once there is strength will inevitably rebel again, now we have subdued it, but if you want to maintain long-term stability, you must also collect its heart, supplemented by education, at the beginning of the mountain country, is built by the Bai Di Xianyu clan, its monarch worked hard to learn my Central Plains culture, the north rejected the Yan Dynasty, the south resisted the strong Jin, the west enemy Zhao State, in my Central Plains, in the land of my Central Plains, strong period with hundreds of thousands, chariots 9,000 times, and the Central Plains princes fought against the court, What a fierce rival! Meng Yi said with a smile.

"Zhongshan Kingdom is indeed powerful, but it is still destroyed by Zhao, what does the general mean by suddenly saying this?" The king asked puzzled.

"The reason why it is difficult for Hu Man to accept his heart is that he does not understand etiquette and does not obey the king, and Zhongshan envy my Central Plains culture, so he has become very strong by studying hard, but after being strong, he will inevitably be assimilated by my Central Plains, and finally he does not distinguish between each other, people who understand reason can conquer, but people who do not understand reason can never conquer, Hun Hu is wild and untamable, if you do not give indoctrination, you can only conquer by force, unless you destroy its clan, otherwise it will only resurgence again and again, This is also the reason why the hundred-year war between my Central Plains and Hu still cannot be quelled, so my Great Qin and Yan Zhao can only continue to build city walls to block the attacks of these Hu people, and I will supervise the millions of soldiers to spend several years to build and connect the border city wall, which stretches for thousands of miles and seems majestic, but now it has become an ornament, which has no meaning, far inferior to the horse pawn equipment and steel weapons invented by the Marquis of Qinghe. ”

Meng Yi's face was a little depressed, and he was full of depression and had nowhere to vent, so he had to drink with his head down.

"The art of war says: The invincible, guard; The winner is also meritorious. The code is insufficient, but the merit is more than enough. The good keeper hides under the nine earths; Those who do good deeds move above the nine heavens, so they can protect themselves and win all. ”

Wang Li looked at Meng Tian, smiled and pointed to the rolling mountains on the border of Daqin and the grassland in the distance, "The art of war says that defense is the safest way, and if you don't win, you can only strengthen defense, at least the Great Wall built by the general blocked the attack of Hu Man, and now my Great Qin army is incomparable, and it is naturally invincible to attack instead of defending, as long as there is this city wall, even if Hun Hu makes a comeback again, my Central Plains is still safe!" ”

Meng Tian nodded slightly, "Marquis Wucheng is proficient in the art of war, and his words are reasonable!" ”

"Haha, I'm glad to be praised by the general!" Wang Li was excited.

And looking at Wang Li's smug appearance, Meng Tian couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart and stopped talking.

The appearance of the mutton on the fire has begun to burn yellow, and several Hun girls knelt on the ground to add firewood to the fire and turn the roast sheep, and the air was filled with a rich fragrance.

"General, it's time to eat!" Wang Li pulled out the sharp iron sword at his waist and cut off a piece of roast meat.

Meng Tian also took out his long sword and cut the meat and ate it in a big gulp.

Drinking wine and eating meat, soon after the two of them ate a few pieces each, Wang Li waved his hand to let a few Hun girls and the surrounding guards leave.

"What does Wucheng Marquis mean?" Meng Tian asked a little puzzled.

"General, today I am away from inviting the general to go out to play, in fact, there is one thing I want to ask!" Wang Li put away his long sword and wiped his mouth clean and said.

"Marquis Wucheng, please speak, if Ben will know, he will not hide it!"

"Thank you, General, today I received a letter saying that the chief Jiang Bu asked His Majesty to dismiss the Northwest Army in the court, and he also received the support of the Marquis of Yinshan and Di Daohou, what do you think of this matter?" Wang Li looked at Meng Yi seriously and seriously.

Meng Yi was silent for a long time and then nodded and said: "I have just obtained this matter from the letter sent by Xianyang, and the disarmament is naturally decided by His Majesty, and we can only obey the ......."

"As the chief general of the northwest, the future of the 300,000 border soldiers is in the hands of the general, can't he write to His Majesty to refute the disarmament policy?" Wang Li said very dejectedly.

"The Marquis of Wucheng is serious, the general is just to control the northwest army for His Majesty, the 300,000 army will not have any idea whether the army is cut or not, not to mention that the Huns and Hu have all been pacified, these 300,000 soldiers are useless, and it is their best destination to disarm and return to the field to enjoy peace, and the general also took the opportunity to ask His Majesty for permission to return to his home to live in the old age and enjoy the joy of family!"

After speaking, Meng Tian stood up, looked at the vast grassland with abundant flowers and plants, and after a long time, beckoned his guards to lead the horses.

"Marquis Wucheng, thank you for your hospitality today, I will be a little tired and go back to the camp first, and say goodbye!" Meng Yi turned over and took his leave after getting on the horse.

"Subordinates send off the general!" Wang Li was obviously a little stunned, and after giving his hand, he watched Meng Tian spur the horse away with dozens of guards, and then he twitched a few times with his cheeks.

"This old fox!" Wang Li sat down next to the fire and began to be in a daze as he watched the roasted fat dripping from the mutton.
