Saishang Mangyuan is the intersection of the three states, the land is wide and hundreds of miles, hundreds of herdsmen, tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses, and the Song Kingdom is the most.

In addition to hundreds of people and herdsmen, there are also official herdsmen, and the Song Dynasty borders the Houthis, and the Huthis have only one million people but 300,000 soldiers, and the 300,000 soldiers are all iron horses. Song Xiao deeply felt the swiftness of the Houthi iron cavalry and the excellence of his combat power, so he ordered that "horse politics is national politics", and set up an official pastor, and the official pastor doctor is the secretary doctor, who is in charge of raising horses. Horses are registered, and all military horses are registered.

Plugging Mang was originally a cold place, but after Song Xiao set up an official pastor, Mangyuan turned out to be a treasure land where cattle and sheep were everywhere and horses galloped.

However, there is a shortage of excellent breeds (horses) in the Song Dynasty, and there are only 30,000 military horses registered in the Song Kingdom, less than 12 of the Housthis.

The princes proclaimed themselves kings one after another, the situation in the world gradually became clear, foot warfare and chariot warfare were no longer prevalent, and large countries were often hundreds or even thousands of miles wide. The far-sighted Song Xiao had long seen the superiority of the cavalry, set up officials to breed military horses, and hired the Houthis to train the cavalry. In the first battle of Qi, more than 10,000 cavalry of the Song army made a detour to attack Qidusheng and capture Wang Siqi of Qi, otherwise the battle of Qiqi would definitely be a protracted war.

The first attempt of the Battle of Faqi made Song Xiao taste the sweetness, and he valued the official pastor even more. This detour to plug it is to see the scene of thousands of horses galloping.

The official pastor is named Sijie, a Houthi person, who has raised horses for generations, and his horse training skills are even more extraordinary. Song Xiao promised heavy profits, the official worshiped the doctor, gave 100 gold, and gave 1000 hectares of good land.

Tens of thousands of soldiers from the Song State were stationed in Mangyuan, which was clearly intended to guard the border, not without the intention of surveillance. The cunning fox Song Xiao is a genius, and his suspicion is not false. If it weren't for the fact that the Song State did not have horse training talents, I am afraid that the Houthis would not have been used.

Si Jie knew that Song Xiao was coming to patrol and greeted him for ten miles. Song Xiaowen smiled and said, "Plug it into the extreme cold, Mr. is hard."

Si Jie replied: "Compared with the delicious water and grass of Housai, the horses are more robust."

Song Xiao was overjoyed and asked, "Now there are horses?"

"Twenty-six thousand horses against the registered." Si Jie replied.

A full 26,000 horses, the cavalry of the Song army doubled again, how Song Xiao didn't like it. Si Jie ordered people to drive the horses to come, and ten thousand horses galloped across the water.

"Why doesn't the water freeze?" Song Xiao asked suspiciously.

"Water has a living source, it lasts all year round, and it is unique." Zou Gu replied.

"Wang De felt the world, so the water was endless." Si Jie said.

Song Xiao was happy and said: "Mr. has made meritorious contributions to herding horses, what reward do you want?"

Si Jie pondered for a long time, and said on the ground: "The king is long, and Jie has nothing to ask for, but he has not seen his wife and children all year round, and he misses it very much."

"Permission to visit relatives in Wuyi." Song Xiao said.

Si Jie was stunned at first, and then thanked him. Si Jie got up, leaving two shallow marks on the snow, which were from kneeling on the ground; A deep imprint, and that is where the prostration.

Ten thousand horses galloped, gathered in the water to drink. Song Xiao suddenly asked, "The widow remembers that Xiahou Zhongqing is shepherding sheep on the plug."

Zou Gu nodded and replied, "Xiahou Zhongqing is shepherding sheep, does the king want to summon him?"

"No need," Song Xiao waved his hand and said, "If he is stubborn, let him shepherd sheep on the plug for the rest of his life." ”

There are ten thousand horses drinking by the water, one man dancing with a sword, one shepherding sheep, one singing and one water.

Zou Gu's eyes were sharp, and he saw that Song Xiao was not looking at the scene of ten thousand horses drinking water, so he replied: "The shirtless person who dances the sword is Xiahou Zhongqing."

"It's cold in the first month, and the widow is curious about who that person is." Song Xiao obviously didn't care about the stubborn Xiahou Zhongqing, but was quite interested in the person who was in the water.

Without waiting for Song Xiao's instructions, Si Jie personally went to bring the four people over. None of the four knelt down, and Zou Gu asked, "Why don't you kneel to the king?"

The shepherd is the cloud, and the one who sings is the cloud. Yun Ge protected the clouds behind his back, bowed his hand and saluted: "The grass people are from Zhongshan, and they only recognize the king of Zhongshan."

Si Jie drew his knife, and Song Xiao waved his hand and said, "Why do Zhongshan people shepherd sheep and cross the border?"

Yun Ge pointed to his feet, neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "The top of the grass people's heads is the sky of Dali, and the feet are the land of the middle mountains, what is the overstepping?"

The implication is that Song Xiao has crossed the border, and Song Xiao does not care about this lowly herdsman, after all, the hidden dragon is suspected of being from Zhongshan, and Zhongshan has been pro-Li for generations, so it is not easy to offend.

"Xiahou Zhongqing, why don't you kneel?" Zou Gu questioned Xiahou Zhongqing again.

Xiahou Zhongqing stood shirtless, straight as a sword, not affected by the cold at all, without saying a word, and did not even look at Song Xiao with his eyes.

"Bold Xiahou Zhongqing, dare to be disrespectful to my king when the country is destroyed." Sinan shouted. After finishing speaking, he stabbed Xiahou Zhongqing with his sword, Xiahou Zhongqing did not hide, and the blood was sprinkled on the snow, like a few blood-red plum blossoms.

"Qiao people are not all Ou Yao's generation, they can be killed, chopped or banished, and they can't betray the Lord for glory." Xiahou Zhongqing had a sword in his arm, gritted his teeth and said.

Song Xiao didn't say a word, Xiahou Zhongqing was virtuous and talented, Song Xiao cherished his talents, he was reluctant to kill, and he had no choice but to be exiled to the Mangyuan Shepherd, but unfortunately the cold did not make Xiahou Zhongqing succumb for three years, but it was like a thousand years of ice, stubborn.

The more Xiahou Zhongqing did not surrender to Song Xiao, the more he appreciated it, and after the destruction of Qiao, all the civil and military surrenderers in Qiaoguo's temples were corrected on the spot, and only Ou Yao and Xiahou Zhongqing, the two sages, would rather die than surrender. Song Xiao listened to Zou Gu's advice and banished the two to this Saishang Mangyuan.

"Mr. Gao Feng Liang Festival, Song Xiao will come to visit again in the future," Song Xiao said with a rare gift, "The wine is still delivered every month." ”

Xiahou Zhongqing's nostrils turned to the sky, and he replied impressively: "There are no two lords in the world, and there are no two ministers in Qiao Kingdom."

Song Xiao no longer paid attention to this thousand-year-old ice, but the person who was in the water, Song Xiao recognized. Qiaoyu mistakenly thought it was Qiao Gongziyin and took him back to China. Zou Gu believed that he was the descendant of Zichou, so he stayed in the sacrificial wine position for half a year. After Zou Gu saw through Meng Lan's trick, he was banished to this place to shepherd sheep.

"Jue, can you have the gift of a gentleman?" Zou Gu asked.

Jue shook his head.

"Is Mangyuan cold?" Zou Gu asked again.

Jue nodded.

"Have you learned the art of vertical and horizontal?" Zou Gu asked.

Jue shook his head.

"Don't want to see Mr. Meng?" Zou Gu asked persistently.

Jue nodded.

"The gift of a gentleman, when you meet the King of Song, you have to kneel and worship." Zou Gu induced Jue to say.

Jue glanced up at Song Xiao, he had no impression, he thought about the gentleman's gift, shook his hand, and said in his mouth: "King Song is healthy."

Song Xiao smiled and nodded.

At dusk, Xiahou Zhongqing cooked wine and barbecued meat, and Idiot Jue practiced swords barefoot. Some came on horseback, some came on song.

"Jue, don't be distracted." Xiahou Zhongqing took a sip of warm wine to warm up, and saw that Jue was slow to make a move, how could he not notice it in his eyes?

Jue retracted his heart and continued to practice the sword, and it was the cloud song that came on horseback, and the cloud that came when he stepped on the song.

"Uncle Xiahou, I brought some herbs, you can apply them," Yun Duo trotted over, and saw that Xiahou Zhongqing was still drinking and having fun, so he feigned anger and said: "If you are injured, you will be drunk, and you will be killed."

The clouds threw the herbs to the ground, their eyes glancing to the side, intentionally or not.

"The man is lustful, and the woman is Mu Qiang," Xiahou Zhongqing pulled Yunge to drink together, took a sip of the lingering fragrance, and exclaimed, "The gentleman learns literature, and the husband learns martial arts." ”

Yun Duo stomped his feet, simply squatted on the ground, and looked at Jue Lianjian with his chin in both hands.

Jue pretended to be calm and practiced the sword, and every move and style was taught by Xiahou Zhongqing. There were onlookers, the moves were slightly fancy, and the feet were unstable and almost stumbled.

The clouds giggled, like beads falling on jade plates.

"Okay, I'll practice here today," Xiahou Zhongqing saw that Jue had no intention of practicing swords, and he didn't force it, but just sighed with envy, "It's good to be young." ”

Jue's belly was empty, he cut a large piece of mutton, and he was greedy for the taste of wine, he snatched Xiahou Zhongqing's wine bag too late to open the seal, and the pain in his waist was like a bee sting, so he had to reluctantly put down the wine bag and laugh at the clouds.

Yun Duo pulled Jue and ran away, leaving only Xiahou Zhongqing and Yun Ge outside the yurt.

"Uncle, there are no two lords in the world, and there are no two ministers in Qiao Guo, so why do you drink Song wine?" Yun Ge took a sip of warm wine, wiped off the wine stains at the corners of his mouth, and asked Xiahou Zhongqing with a smile.

"Instead of cheapening those wine bags and rice bags, it is better to relieve the old man's fatigue." Xiahou Zhongqing had a wine bag in his left hand and mutton in his right hand, eating comfortably and drinking to his heart's content.

The clouds pulled Jue around to a hill behind the yurt, and the two sat on the ground. The red sun is heavy, the twilight clouds are kind, the snow is white, the sky is blue, the earth is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.

"You're not cold?" The little clouds blushed. Although it has passed the beginning of spring, it is only half past the cold winter of the Mangyuan, how can it not be cold to practice swords barefoot?

"The big husband is not cold." Jue replied seriously. The rich and noble cannot be lewd, the poor and the lowly cannot be moved, the mighty cannot be bent, and what about the cold and cold?

"You're waiting for me here." The clouds got up and said.

"Okay, I'll wait for you for the rest of my life." Jue blurted out, wanting to take it back but it was too late, and he didn't dare to look at the clouds when he lowered his head.

The clouds giggled, only to hear her say, "My husband is a good man."

A short time later, the clouds came on horseback, carrying a pair of boots in their hands.

"These are the wolf skin boots that Uncle Xiahou asked my mother to make." The clouds said with a smile.

Jue put the wolf skin boots on his chest, and said with a sad expression: "I miss my mother."

Yun Duo panicked for a moment and didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to sit side by side with him.

"I can't remember what my mother looked like, I can't remember where my home is, and Mr. Zou won't tell me."

"Then how did you come to plug Mangyuan?" Yun Duo knew that Jue was an old shepherd before he lived in the yurt house, and he knew Uncle Xiahou.

"I don't remember, I only remember that before I came here, I was with Mr. Zou in Luoyi Xuegong, and Mr. Zou tricked me into learning the art of vertical and horizontal, I wanted to learn the way of a gentleman, so I didn't learn."

"Who is Mr. Meng?"

"Mr. Meng is the most talented person in the world, but it's a pity that he doesn't accept me." Jue thought of Mr. Meng, and his expression was a little darker.

Jue is willing to speak, and the clouds listen. She didn't know how to comfort her, so she had to lean closer.

"I'm forgetful, many people don't remember many things," Jue hesitated for a moment, turned his head to look at the clouds and said, "I'm afraid that one day I will forget you." ”

The two looked at each other, and the cloud pushed Jue to the ground, leaned over and bit him the shoulder. The clouds, which had always been as docile as lambs, showed their tiger teeth like a vicious wolf, and her teeth were dyed red, and she smiled proudly: "I won't forget it now."

It was getting late, and the clouds led the horses, and the two returned to the yurt side by side.

"Yo, new boots," Xiahou Zhongqing's eyes were sharp, and when he saw Jue wearing new boots, he asked Yunduo with a smile, "Xiaoyunduo, what about mine?" ”

"I made a pair for Jue, made a pair for me, and my mother naturally had to collect wages, so I made a pair myself." Yun Duoqiao smiled.

"Gone?" Xiahou Zhongqing pretended to be surprised and asked, his expression was really exaggerated.

"It's gone." The clouds giggled.

"Alright, Duoduo, it's time to go home." It was getting late, Yun Ge said goodbye to Xiahou Zhongqing and called Yun Duo home.

"Bastard boy, it's really an idiot, look at it," Xiahou Zhongqing patted Jue's head and handed him the wine bag, seeing that Jue was suspicious, he said with a straight face, "The eldest husband should drink with a sword." ”

"Really?" Jue was half-convinced and half-questioning.

"When did I lie to you." Xiahou Zhongqing handed it over again, Jue had to take it, and it was spicy, mellow, and intoxicating.

"Don't drink it all up, wait until there are guests." Xiahou Zhongqing instructed.

"Who believes that you still have guests in this broken yurt?" Jue didn't care about it, he was happy to drink wine and eat meat.

"Old man......"

"Got it," Jue's ears sounded calloused, and he said impatiently, "The old man is Qiao Guozhuguo, Wen Taowu is the first in the world, the official worships Zhuguo, and leads 100,000 troops." ”

Xiahou Zhongqing snatched the wine bag and took a sip of it, and burped in satisfaction.

Not long after, someone came with a lantern, it was Song Xiaofeng's Qing Doctor, the Horse Herding Doctor, and the Houthi Si Jie.

"My lord, I have offended many people today." Si Jie bowed his hand to apologize.

"It's okay," Xiahou Zhongqing handed him the wine bag and said, "It's a big deal." ”

Si Jie took the wine sac and poured a big sip, his body warmed up, looked at Wangjue, and stopped talking.

"It doesn't matter." Xiahou Zhongqing said.

Si Jie said at this time: "The cunning fox Song Xiao is too suspicious, I have already said according to what the adults taught."

"I can only wait for a while, don't act rashly now," Xiahou Zhongqing asked again, "When will Song Jun ask for horses?" ”

"As is customary in previous years, we have to wait until March." Si Jie replied.

"In the spring of March," Xiahou Zhongqing thought for a while and said, "Now the rain has not arrived, so there is no hurry." However, Song Xiao allowed you to go to Wuyi to visit your relatives, and you went to find Ou Yao when the time came. ”

Si Jie nodded, and the lantern left.

"Jue, tomorrow you go to the water to practice swords as usual, and I'll go out." Xiahou Zhongqing instructed.

"Okay." Jue can tell the weight clearly, now is not the time to frolic, although he wonders where Si Jie is going, who to meet, and what to do, but he doesn't ask.

What if you ask? With his memory, I'm afraid that he will forget everything after a nap.

Plugging up the Mangyuan, hundreds of Song soldiers were camping overnight, and Zou Gu was making tea for Song Xiao.

The tea tinkling, the water vapor was thick, and Zou Gu couldn't help but be different from the time when the master made tea.

The master is naturally Zichou, Zichou likes to drink tea the most, Zou Gu also likes it, but Meng Lan prefers to drink.

He is obviously the first disciple of Zichou, and he likes the tea ceremony, why did Yujue pass it on to Meng Lan? If it was passed on to himself, Zou Gu asked himself if he would prevent Song Xiao from breaking the Luoyi Academy.

Regardless of whether Yu Jue has a great secret and can suppress Kyushu, in Zou Gu's eyes, Yu Jue is the status symbol of the world's first saint. So Zou Gu didn't take the initiative to return Yujue to Song Xiao, and Song Xiao didn't feel good about asking, so Zou Gu was pregnant with Yujue, happy or worried, and took it out to play.

The tea dingdong, Zou Gu played with Yujue, and Song Xiao asked, "What does Situ think Si Jie?"

Zou Gu replied: "This person can't be unguarded, today's king rejected Si Jie's request, which is really high."

Song Xiao laughed: "A flatterer, if he doesn't have the talent to ride horses, how can the widow use him?"

"Is the king okay?" Zou Gu served tea and said.

Song Xiao took the hot tea and replied happily: "It's okay."

"The minister said early that the king is a heart disease, where can the quack doctor Pu Miao see it." Zou Gu said.

Is Song Xiao sick? Song Xiao has a disease. Song Xiao's illness is Song Guo's illness. Internal and external troubles, so there is a disease.

Song Xiao has a disease, and Zou has inherent medicine.

The first medicine is to offer warm and warm jade by worshipping longevity.

Li Tu.

"The queen mother hasn't gone to bed yet?" He Tianzi stood outside the curtain with his hands and asked.

"The soothing warm jade is lost, and there is no sleepiness at all." The Queen Mother sighed.

The Queen Mother is naturally the Empress Dowager, the first woman to govern in the five hundred years of the Dali Dynasty.

He Tianzi looked sad, retired, and invited Meng Lan to enter the palace.

Meng Lan stepped on the snow, and before he had time to brush off the flying snow on his shoulder, He Tianzi said, "Taishi save me."

"Why is the Son of Heaven so panicked?" Meng Lan asked.

He Tianzi didn't care about any gentleman's courtesy, and said like a small person in the market complaining: "As the master expected, Song Xiao is afraid that he knows the secret of Yujue."

Meng Lan asked, "So the queen and the queen mother are knocking on the side?"

He Tianzi nodded, and said with a bitter face: "It's really embarrassing to be alone."

"Where is Yujue?" Meng Lan asked.

"It's not in Lidu," He Tianzi replied, "The first saint has a far-sighted plan, and that Yujue is now in Liangzhou." ”

"Going back with Mrs. Ritan?" Meng Lan had an answer in her heart and asked.

He Tianzi nodded, Zichou was afraid that Song Xiao would steal jade, so he asked Yu Jue to return to his hometown with Ri Tan Xiaocui's ashes, which was kept by Ri Tan Boxian and handed over to the fake death of Gongzi Xian.

Meng Lan's face was defeated, he had always wondered why Qin Huai had Yu Jue in his hand at first. If he hadn't learned in Zongxi that Jue's mother and son had settled in Zongxi more than ten years ago, and Jue was born in Zongxi, I'm afraid he would have thought that Jue was a descendant of Mr. and Yujue was also left by Mr., otherwise why would Mr. confess that there is a Taoli school in Liangzhou Zongxi?

Meng Lan lost her soul and was depressed, because she was stupid, she couldn't understand what Mr. meant, she just limited her eyes to the west of the city, and never thought that there would be Bashan if she went west to the west, and the son lived here in seclusion.

How can Jue have a jade jue, and how can Qin Huai have a jade jue? The jade jue was clearly obtained by Qin Huai from Gongzi's idle hands.

Li Room only had one jade jue left in Zitang's hand, and the remaining three were probably in Song Xiao's hands.

Then contact Qishan Sword Pavilion only recognizes Yu Jue and does not recognize people, Qishan Sword Pavilion can destroy Xiao with only one vein of Shaoyang, if Qishan assists Song Xiao, I am afraid that this world will really have to change its name and surname.

Meng Lan expressed his worries, and He Tianzi's expression became even more panicked, and he ordered Taibaozi Tang to come to Lidu to meet him quickly.

The last jade jue cannot be missed.

Plugged into Mangyuan, Song Xiao drank tea.

Zou Gu's first medicine, the medicine is cured, just waiting for the news from Lidu.

The second medicine is that Muse and Han Ze will join forces to retire from the show. Since the defeat of the overlord Fucuo and Jinghong Jiang Wangshu, the myth of the incomparable martial saint has been shaken. Muse and Han Ze's two generals can join forces to retire Wei Xiu, Song has a hundred generals, what about Wei Xiu?

The third flavor medicine is to stuff the Mangyuan official and pastoral doctor Sijie and raise another 26,000 horses, and the Song army's combat power is one point stronger, who in the world can stop it, why worry about hegemony?

Song Xiao has a disease, and Zou has inherent medicine.
