Chapter 107: Xiaohai Mutation
The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, and the wind blows the grass to see cattle and sheep.
A vast grassland with green stretching to the sky at your feet. The lazy sheep on the grassland are like clouds floating in the sky.
The Seleng River, which originates in the Mongolian Plateau, flows into Lake Baikal through Irkuts, where the soil is moist and the water and grass are abundant, and there are several white tents scattered along the river, and the Shepherd wearing a silk scarf is milking the mare, and suddenly the earth is shaking, and the herdsman reacts after a short period of astonishment and immediately mounts his horse to report to the tribe adults. At this moment, dozens of arrows were fired, and the shepherd fell from his horse. The sheep that had been enjoying a good time on the grassland were suddenly frightened and fled in all directions. Only the shepherd's horse sat quietly beside the shepherd's corpse, shaking its head.
The 10,000 troops dispatched by the Guli tribe served as the vanguard, the 10,000 troops dispatched by the Dubo tribe served as the central army, and Guo Li led the 20,000 elite cavalry of Mo Yan and Gao Sheji to follow.
The 40,000-strong army was directed towards Lake Baikal.
For the atrocities of tens of thousands of troops along the way, Guo Li had no mental awareness. The Turkic tribes treated their enemies in the steppe like mortal enemies between politicians in the Central Plains, and only women, cattle and sheep were the best trophies. The Murowei tribe received the news that, despite the hasty preparations, they still gathered an army of 50,000. The two sides set up positions on the endless grassland. If the Murowe tribe loses, they will lose this fertile land. If the Chuyue tribe loses, they will face the retaliation of the Murowei tribe. In the world of the grassland, whoever has the biggest fist is the truth.
The 10,000 elite horsemen in the tall chicken coop were all equipped with Mo knives, which were suitable for cavalry charges. Long and heavy, it is the weapon of the Tang Dynasty to deal with the grassland cavalry, and before leaving, Guo Li will equip all the 10,000 elite cavalry of Gao Sheji with Mo knives. Jianhu and Li Mei stood on both sides of Guo Li to protect Guo Li's safety.
The skeletal tribe began to charge. At the same time, the Murowei tribe also charged, and nearly 100,000 iron horsemen fought on the grassland. There is only one opportunity to take a look, and whoever can make the first move will be able to live better than the other party. This kind of big charge was something Guo Li didn't expect in advance, and the 10,000 elite horsemen in the high chicken coop rushed out after Mo Yan sipped, and standing in place was equivalent to death.
Guo Li was holding a Tang knife, followed by Li Yao and Jianhu. It's been a long time since I've had this feeling of getting on the horse and rushing to kill, and at the moment of the charge, Guo Li, who was fearless in the past, returned to his body.
After Guo Li entered the horse formation, he did not rush forward directly like the others, but turned the horse's head around a big bend, followed the Murwei people to kill, and followed the Liangzhou elite cavalry behind Guo Li with the same action, and after a while, Guo Li led 10,000 elite cavalry to chase after the Murwei cavalry and kill. After Mo Yan saw it, he issued an order to follow the Liangzhou cavalry, and the Guligan and Dubo tribes saw the opportunity to turn their horses and follow them.
The tide was reversed.
The battle on the grassland is usually a charge on both sides, breaking up the opponent's formation and then engaging in short combat, not suddenly being chased by the other side at this moment. The vanguard of the Murowe tribe could only make a big bend forward and chase them from behind.
The two sides launched an unprecedented pursuit battle around the grassland.
For three hours, the Murowei tribe began to retreat. The smallest loss is, of course, the Liangzhou Jingqi, who followed the Murowei tribe from the first round, followed by the Hui people, and the biggest loss was the Guli tribe. Seeing the defeat of the Murowei tribe, the bone and dry Ye Hu issued an order to pursue.
"Dashuai, do you want to pursue?" Gao Sheji asked. It's fun to fight with the big handsome, and it's the first time to chase each other's butts on the grassland.
"Follow the pursuit, be sure to cripple the room." Gao Sheji took the order, followed the cavalry of the Guli tribe to pursue out, and the Hui followed, but the Dubo tribe fell last.
At this moment, Guo Li still has Li Guangbi's Liangshan group by his side.
The old men, women, and children of the Murowei tribe were in a panic, and everyone knew what the consequences were about to be.
"Dashuai, don't charge into battle in person in the future." Li Guangbi and Guo Li stood in a row.
"I saw thousands of horses galloping just now, and I remembered for a moment that when I was the fire chief, you and my brother went into battle together to kill the enemy and charge together." Guo Li said with a smile.
Li Guangbi recalled that since he met Guo Li, the other party's spirit of not fearing death on the battlefield is really admirable. How many times did Guo Li charge ahead, and the brothers followed behind him. Now it is different, Guo Li served as the general of the West this time, annihilating the 200,000 troops of Tubo, and the generals are just around the corner. Li Guangbi knew that Guo Li sent him thousands of miles to attack Ngoling Lake in order to give his brother a great credit.
"Dashuai is still like this, how to deal with these people from the Murowei tribe?" Li Guangbi asked.
"Wait for the people of the backbone tribe to deal with it, since you have promised others, these small profits should not cause unhappiness on both sides."
At noon the next day, the people who had gone to chase and kill came back one after another. According to the high chicken coop, he chased until the Erguna River, and met the Blackwater tribe over there, so he stopped the pursuit and returned.
Murwe was defeated, and from then on Baikal had nothing to do with Murve.
The young men of Murowei all participated in this battle, and the only ones left were the old man and the woman and the children, and Gu Li Gan received the old man and the woman, and Mo Yan saw that hundreds of children were left unattended, and asked Gu Li Gan Ye Hu to send these children back to Hui. Guli Ganye Hu had a headache about how to deal with these children, it was too cruel to kill, and it was to raise tigers for trouble, so he just grinded the inkstone and opened his mouth, so he simply gave it all to Hui. The backbone tribe took over the grassland. Datang's territory has expanded a lot, although these territories have no practical significance for Datang.
The army returned.
Help Gu Ligan capture Xiaohai and return to live in the Hunhe Prefecture region completely. Mo Yansi invited Guo Li to go to Hunhe Prefecture, and Guo Li just wanted to hold a huge grassland wedding for Gu Li and Nazha.
Guo Li's people returned to their hearts like arrows, it took two days to come, and one day to return. Riding a horse along the way, Guo Li's buttocks hurt like a flower when he returned to the Aqimu tribe. Aqimu found the grassland doctor, and the other party crushed the unknown weeds into a paste and smeared them on Guo Li's buttocks. The next day when he went to Hunhe Prefecture, Guo Li couldn't sit and could only lie in the carriage, which caused the princess and auspicious laughter. Guli and Nazha were smiling, they had been away from the clan for so many days, and they were finally about to return to the clan.
"Ziyi, Gu Li said that Hunhe Prefecture is going to hold a wedding for the two of them?"
"Guli and Jianhu, Nazha and Goshuhan. Li Mei has not yet started a family, so she has time to find one for this child. ”
Guo Li's buttocks were smeared with drugs and couldn't move.
"Ziyi, I remember that I talked about their marriage that day, Ziyi didn't seem to finish talking at that time, it seems that there is still a couple, right?"
"Qian'er once learned her father's "Neon Dress and Feather Dance", if Ziyi agrees to hold a wedding for Qian'er, Ziyi has a chance to feast her eyes." The princess said shyly.
Neon Dress and Feather Dance? Guo Li began to have nosebleeds.
%¥#*&……
Guo Li still underestimated the enthusiasm of the Hui people. Mo Yan Si returned to Hunhe Prefecture with a large army, and the Hui patriarch Yao Luo Ge Guli Peiluo, led the leaders of the Hui tribes, the old man Zaro who had been to Ganzhou, and tens of thousands of Hui people welcomed the warriors who went to distant places home.
"Majestic eagles build nests, and mighty eaglets spread their wings and fly. Just as the eaglet returns to its nest, its wings become stiff and capable of piercing through the sky. ”
The Hui people wore festive costumes, sang grassland songs that Guo Li did not understand the lyrics of, and danced on the grassland. There are also relatives who are looking forward to the songs and laughter, and the 10,000 Hui people led by Mo Yan Si died 1,237 people in battle. The people who lost their relatives were not too sad, they died in battle for Hui, for the sake of their clansmen, they died, and they died glorious; Death, the glory of death.
Gao Sheji led nearly 10,000 elite horsemen to be placed in a small tribe near Hunhe Prefecture, and the Liangshan regiment followed Guo Li into Hunhe Prefecture. Guli Peiluo was dressed luxuriously and gave Guo Li a big hug.
"The benefactor of the Hui tribe has finally come to this peaceful land, distinguished guests, please taste the wine of the grassland."
A maid has already stepped forward with a plate to invite Guo Li to drink, did the custom of toasting on the grassland arise from Huifu? Guo Li drank the wine, and the drums suddenly sounded in the field, and the Huifu girls who came with the patriarch were veiled and danced to the sound of the drums. The princess, Jixiang, Jianhu, Li Mei, and Li Guangbi tasted the Huifu wine one by one. It's a pity that Mulan and the servant Bone Huai'en were left in Ganzhou, otherwise they would definitely be happy. Guo Li saw Gu Li and Nazha proudly waving silk scarves and signaling to the clansmen.
Guli Peiluo welcomed Guo Li and his party into a huge yurt, which was extremely luxurious. Persian carpets, pottery from the Roman Empire, yellow pear pure wooden tables from the Central Plains, and ornaments on the grassland.
"Distinguished guests, benefactors of Huifu, welcome to Huifu." Old man Zaro said.
Guo Li was terrified in his heart, and he couldn't enjoy this kind of unusual respect, only Princess Taizhiruo was used to it.
"Hui is a tribe in the Tang Dynasty, and it is natural for Ben Shuai to do things for Hui Hui."
"I heard that the marshal gave Guli and Nazhash to the guards around him?" Guli Pero asked.
"The guards don't dare to be the guards, Jianhu is an old gentleman who asked to come to protect Ben Shuai, a young hero of Ge Shuhan, and his achievements are limitless. Ben Shuai had promised to hold a grand grassland wedding for them, I wonder if the patriarch can be accommodating? ”
"Since the handsome man has this intention, why not do it? Gu Li and Nazha are well-known among the Hui people, and although they are now given to their benefactors, the Hui are still the home of these two sisters. Guli Peiluo smiled.
"There is also a couple to have a wedding, patriarch look..."
"No problem, it just so happens that there are young people in the clan who have reached marriageable age, and there is a dowry in the family to be held together." Guli Pei Luo didn't find that Guo Li was spitting after speaking.
"Hui and the Chuyue tribe will form an alliance forever, and Ben Shuai will reach an agreement with the Chuyue tribe instead of the patriarch, and I hope the patriarch will not blame."
"There, there, Da Shuai's move is unbelievable, Hui Hui needs to recuperate, who is the third pair of newcomers that Da Shuai said just now? Wedding utensils in the clan. Guli Peiluo remembered that Guo Li hadn't said that it was the couple just now.
"This ,......" Guo Li was a little embarrassed.
"Patriarch, it's Dashuai and my young lady." Jixiang saw Guo Li's embarrassed appearance and cleared the siege.
Guli Peiluo looked at Guo Li, then at the princess, and understood.
"Please rest assured, according to the wedding of the Hui people, everything is simple."
At dusk that day, Guo Li and others were "driven out" of the yurt by the Hui people. Someone had already sent three sets of dresses worn by the newcomers, one for Guo Li, Jianhu and Ge Shuhan. The three maids dressed in good luck returned to the yurt with the three newlyweds. The eyes of the three of them lit up the moment they entered the yurt, and it turned out that the princess, Gu Li, and Nazha were wearing the bride's auspicious clothes, and there were three unknown Hui girls, who were sitting quietly in the yurt, and the six brides were ruddy and shy.
As soon as the three of them entered the felt, Li Guangbi, Li Mei, Jixiang, Meng Haoran and others, Guli Peiluo, Old Man Zharo, Mo Yansi, and three Hui teenagers dressed like grooms, and the leaders of the Hui tribes all poured into the yurt.
Although the yurt is large, it is overcrowded at the moment.
"According to the custom of the clan, this grand wedding is held. Today is a send-off, tomorrow is a wedding. Blessings from the old man Zaro. Guli Pero personally presided over this wedding.
The old man Zaro's beard shook and he smiled, spoke the language of the Hui people, and offered blessings to the newlyweds. Afterwards, the maid brought the roast sheep peculiar to the grassland, and placed a plate in front of each of them, and placed a knife in the plate. There are Hui singers singing and dancing. Guo Li ate the delicious roast sheep and enjoyed the Hui dance, thinking to himself how the princess's neon dress and feather dance compared?
"In that far away place was a girl, who took a leather whip and gently whipped a young man. Beautiful girl, handsome young man, the blue sky has witnessed your affection, and the white clouds have sent blessings to you. The delicious mare's milk wine, the fragrant roast sheep, the river brings prosperity to the clan, and the grassland gives birth to your happiness......"
In the midst of singing and laughing, Guli Peiluo announced that he had witnessed the newcomers on both sides. The six brides were full of affection, and the three young men of the Hui tribe were elated. Looking at the situation on both sides, it is estimated that there is no less whipping. A roaring bonfire was lit outside the yurt, and the Hui people who came to the wedding spontaneously celebrated. Zhou Fuyao and others, who had a friendship with Guo Li in the Liangshan regiment, were on guard for the safety of the field. Today is the wedding day of Dashuai, and there must be no mistakes.
The relatives of both sides witnessed the newlyweds and sent heartfelt blessings to the newlyweds, and the wedding was even blessed. Six couples were surrounded by everyone to the bonfire scene, with the celebratory atmosphere in the field, Guo Li, who was not very good at dancing, only felt that there were dance cells all over his body, holding the princess's hand and singing and dancing. The princess was dressed as a Uighur girl, and looked at Guo Lixi, who was also dressed as a Uighur person, and smiled.
"Ziyi, pick up your relatives tomorrow. According to Gu Li, the groom will carry the bride around three times tomorrow. "The princess's sculptural face was radiant and beautiful.
"Qian'er rest assured, Ziyi will definitely work hard to marry Qian'er into the door." Guo Li also wanted to see the princess's dance of neon clothes and feathers.
"Ziyi, Qian'er is really happy." The princess pulled the clumsy Guo Li and swayed gracefully with everyone.
"Life and death are broad, and Zicheng said. Carry the hand of the son, and grow old with the son. At this time, I am afraid that only these four sentences can represent Guo Li's heart.
Guo Li and the princess met several times, and their admiration was hidden in their hearts. After all, the princess has a special status, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people. After some mistakes, I finally got the beauty.
After the bonfire, the six couples were arranged in six yurts. Guo Li and the princess were arranged in the largest yurt, and Guo Li took the princess's hand and walked into the yurt.
Could it be that the custom of Hui Hui is to enter the cave room on the same day?
