The soul is majestic in the east of Kyushu, and the sun rises in an open gate. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Hundred generations of emperors tend to be ordered, and all directions are directed to Pengying.

This is a poem describing Mount Tai, the head of the five mountains, the ancient emperors, literati and ink writers, all have a soft spot for climbing Mount Tai, will be the top of the mountain, a glance at the mountains.

Mount Tai Tiger stands on the Qilu Plain, faces the vast sea in the east, relies on the Yellow River in the west, has the water of Wen, Si and Huai in the south, and is hundreds of miles in circumference, majestic and majestic.

After Wang Bo raised troops from Changbai Mountain, he learned that Zhang Xutuo of Qi County opened a warehouse to release grain, recruited government soldiers, and wanted to attack his team, so he pulled the team to the foot of Mount Tai in Lu County and stationed together, with Meng Rang's army, there were 100,000 righteous troops, stationed at the foot of Mount Tai, wanting to use the terrain here and the majestic spirit to defeat the Sui army.

Among the 100,000 rebels, most of them were incomplete, incomplete, unable to maintain a uniform color, and the banners were chaotic, and they were completely motley troops.

In the past, Wang Bo and Meng Rang had defeated several local Sui armies, but they were all half-peasant and half-army government soldiers who lacked training, and most of them were temporarily formed, and their fighting spirit was not high, and they did not pose much threat to the righteous army, but this time the situation was different, Zhang Xutuo was a regular general in the army, and he had followed Shi Wansui and Yang Su to fight the Turks, suppressed the rebellion of the Han Dynasty, and had many actual combat experiences.

Moreover, this time, Zhang Xutuo recruited many strong men in Qi County, discounted the slogan of defending the family and defending the country and maintaining local tranquility, which won the hearts of the army, gathered 30,000 horses, and was well-armed, and there were three or four thousand war horses, which was menacing.

Wang Bo and Meng Rang climbed Mount Tai, looking at the smoke and dust flying in the distance, the rolling cavalry, and the neat and plain regular army team, all felt the pressure.

"Brother Meng Xian, what do you think of the enemy?" Wang Bo took the initiative to ask.

"Brother Wang, foolish brother thinks that after we join forces, there are enough 100,000 troops, I heard that Zhang Xutuo only brought 30,000 people, the difference is huge, and their soldiers, and our soldiers, are all from this land of Qilu, it can be said, they are all people from one side of the water and soil, I don't believe it, they are all newly recruited, and his army will be able to defeat our soldiers and horses, all with one head and two hands, let's fight three to one, can't we beat them?" Meng Rang looks a little rough, tall, has learned some martial arts, has represented and defeated several local government soldiers to encircle and suppress, is arrogant, and no longer takes the Sui army in his eyes.

Wang Bo nodded slightly, and said: "Our soldiers and horses are indeed three times that of the Sui soldiers, but the way of leading the troops, pay attention to the art of war and strategy, it is by no means that one side can win with more people, although Zhang Xutuo is not famous in the army, but he also has some ability, I can't underestimate the enemy, first send someone to call the battle, fight with the Sui army, try the Sui army's catties, and then make follow-up deployments." ”

Meng Rang agreed: "It's okay, then do it according to Brother Wang's wishes, there is a fierce general in our army, named Qin Ying, his father is a local boxer, he has followed his father to practice martial arts since he was a child, his skills are superb, and he has a good knife technique, you might as well send him out to fight, cut a few Sui army tiger generals, kill the Sui army first, and raise the morale of our three armies." ”

Luo Zhaoyun lifted the curtain of the car and found a cluster of people and horses coming to greet Lan Yinatag, and after being polite there, he led the way to the Servant Bone King Department ten miles away.

The Servant Bone Clan is a general name for an ethnic group, the real Servant Bone People, all over the grassland within a radius of hundreds of miles, there must be many small tribes of all sizes, and the place where Tag wants to rush is the Servant Bone King, that is, the large tribe where the Servant Bone Chief and several nobles live.

Among the Tiele tribes, the strength of the Servant Bone Clan is in the middle and upper, and Xue Yantuo is the strongest, occupying a dominant position in the Tiele Clan, but the Xue Yantuo people are warlike, and the King of Xue Yantuo of this generation has a brutal personality and is unpopular in Tiele, so some small ethnic groups often unite with the Servant Bone and Hui to jointly resist Xue Yantuo's oppression.

After half an hour of traveling, the convoy finally approached the Servant Bone King's Department, which was an earthen city, adjacent to lakes and water systems rich in water and grass, and built an earthen city, the city wall was only more than one person high, and it was compacted with accumulated soil, and there were wooden stake barbs inserted on it, as a defensive line.

In some places, there are high platforms, arrow towers, etc., on which there are archers with servant bones on duty, and this outer Guo within a radius of several miles is already a small fortress.

Outside the city, the cavalry continued to dispatch, patrolling and guarding all around, after all, Kedun arrived, and many chiefs and nobles of the Tiele tribe came to participate in the grand event, which was extremely grand, so in terms of safety and vigilance, there was no room for sloppiness.

Tag's status is noble, the convoy was successfully released, and entered the interior of the city, which is basically a tent structure, one family next to another, some herdsmen's homes also have fenced courtyards, most of the homes are a tent, bare there, the more dense it is, the more orderly it is, and the tents are bigger and more gorgeous.

Along the way, I saw many men and women of the tribe busy, some were washing rice and cooking, some were chopping wood, some were feeding horses, their clothes and shoes were fresh, not as particular as the Central Plains, and the sound of Hu Ji, Qiang flute, and horse head qin was floating in the tribe.

"You camp here, I'll go see Kedun!" Tag instructed the leader, and under the protection of the guards, he went to the camp in Kedun.

Luo Zhaoyun and Qingshuang got out of the carriage, their bodies improved a lot, they wore the grassland people's Hu clothes, watching the nomadic chieftain village, such a scene, Luo Zhaoyun only saw a one-sided corner from some film and television dramas, which was not as real as one-tenth of this at all.

Qingshuang walked a few steps and saw some fresh faces outside the tent, and couldn't help but whisper: "Look at their simple people, life is so simple and fulfilling, it is hard to imagine, they went to the battlefield, so barbaric, like tigers, leopards and jackals, going south to do evil, always wanting to invade the Central Plains." ”

Luo Zhaoyun sighed: "The grassland tribes, without farming, due to continuous migration, can not be fixed, resulting in insufficient education, there is a simple side in the character, there is also a barbaric side, they can still love their own family members, clansmen, treat other ethnic groups, as well as the Central Plains people, they should not be regarded as clansmen, of course they will not be soft." ”

"I have heard that women on the grassland, like goods, will be disposed of and given away at will, and the customs of the grassland are that when the father dies, the wife will be the stepmother; When a brother dies, he takes his wife and wife, and there is no ethical idea of the Central Plains. ”

Of course, Luo Zhaoyun knows these remarks, because many experts in later generations have analyzed the reasons, and the final result is still related to the protection of the family's property, the purpose is not to let the widowed stepmother and sister-in-law take away the family's cattle, sheep and children, and continue to live in the family after marrying, first, to continue to take care of orphans and widows, not to be bullied by people with foreign surnames, and second, to keep the family business from outflow.

"Well, this is a custom left by them for generations, and it is related to the environment, we don't have to look at it with the ideas of Confucianism in the Central Plains!"

Qingshuang stroked a strand of hair on her forehead and asked, "By the way, how long are you going to stay in the grassland, and then where are we going?" ”

"When the matter of the servant bones is over, we will leave, don't go back to the Central Plains first, accompany me to Tuyuhun, go there to meet Li Jing and Hou Junji, and then secretly return to Chang'an from Tuyuhun, it is estimated that it will also be the New Year, deploy some things in Chang'an, and return to Luoyang in the middle of next year to officially appear." Luo Zhaoyun knew that the Sui Dynasty wanted chaos in the world, and he had to go to Tuyuhun in advance, re-encompass and test the cronies laid out a few years ago, and then go to Chang'an to lay out in advance, waiting for the time when the world competed for power, so that he could focus on it.
