Chapter 69: Issyk-Kul Lake

Li Chengji doesn't know about Yelu Ahai. It was through Xiaozi that I knew the general situation.

In the early years, when he was an official in the Jin State and sent an envoy to Wang Hanbu, he fell in love with Temujin at first sight. So Jin Yan said: "The Jin country is not governed, the vulgar is extravagant, and the death can be waited." โ€ใ€‚

This strategy of destroying gold was deeply appreciated by Temujin. He accepted the refuge of Jeruahai and relied on him as a cronie.

In the process of unifying the Mongolian steppe, Yelu Ahai took the lead and fought bravely to kill the enemy. In terms of performance, it is remarkable. In order to show his loyalty, he also ignored the coercion of the Jin Dynasty on his family, and wholeheartedly assisted his son Temujin to achieve great causes.

His brother Jerod did not spend it, and because of his persuasion. And went north to Mongolia and put himself under the command of Temujin.

In 1203, that is, last year, when Temujin was defeated by the combined forces of Sangkun and Wang Han, he had only thirteen horsemen with him. Jereahai is one of them.

This experience of suffering and living and dying together won the trust of Temujin. He married the daughter of a nobleman to show his favor.

Later, in the battle of destroying Jin, Yelu Ahai attacked Hannan, and everything he passed was peaceful. Seeing that the Mongol soldiers had killed too much, he also admonished Temujin: "A good life is the great virtue of a saint." At the beginning of the creation, we are willing to stop killing and plundering in order to respond to the heart of heaven. โ€ใ€‚

So that millions of lives have survived. He also made great contributions, worshiped the Taishi, and wrote in the province.

When he accompanied the army to the west, he captured the chieftain Zhibald, Liankepuhua (Bukhara), Xunskan (Samarkand) and other cities. He was posthumously awarded the title of Loyal and Martial Prince, and died at the age of seventy-three.

is so brave, Li Chengji can't help but be moved.

But compared to Temujin, he is too unknown. Even if he has the heart to solicit, it is impossible for Yelu Ahai to accept it.

Thinking of this, he felt a burst of regret in his heart.

Kumbas and the others didn't know what Li Chengji was thinking, so they shouted and rode together.

Li Chengji didn't think much about it, so he put away his thoughts and galloped with everyone.

After an hour of this, it suddenly rained heavily. As a result, the entire convoy had to slow down.

Fortunately, the rain came and went quickly.

It didn't take long for the sky to shine again.

The continuous snow-capped mountains also appeared in front of everyone's eyes because the clouds dispersed. It was the Yidu Mountain, which was later called the Kunge Mountains. The highest point is 4,771 meters, and it is covered with snow all year round.

The royal ranch of Daliao, Atami (Lake Issyk-Kul), is also at the foot of the mountain.

Although in later life, Lee Seungji never went to Issyk-Kul Lake. But according to the information provided by Xiao Zi, he knows that the elevation of the water surface of Issyk-Kul Lake is about 1,600 meters. The entire water area is more than 6,300 square kilometers. It is 178 kilometers long from east to west and 60 kilometers wide from north to south. The storage capacity of the lake area has reached more than 1,700 cubic kilometers.

More than 90 rivers flow into the lake, but none of them flow out. It makes the lake green and not frozen all year round.

When the Tang Dynasty monk Xuanzang traveled west, he passed through here. "The Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" also has relevant records.

"The mountain travels more than 400 miles to Daqing Pond (Issyk-Kul Lake), more than 1,000 miles in circumference, long from east to west, narrow from north to south. Mountains are negative on all sides, and the crowds are intertwined. The color band is blue and black, and the taste is both salty and bitter. The waves are vast and turbulent. Arowana is mixed, and spirits and monsters arise. Therefore, they traveled back and forth, praying for blessings. Although there are many aquariums, do not dare to fish. โ€ใ€‚

Although it is only a little more than 100 words, it roughly describes the characteristics of Issyk-Kul Lake. This made Li Chengji faintly have an indescribable expectation for Issyk-Kul Lake.

Wait until the sound of rushing water comes from the front.

The terrain that was originally relatively gentle has also become steep.

However, the official road has always been maintained, so it is not difficult for carriages and horses.

At this moment, the endless grasslands are gradually being replaced by lush forests.

Then across the clear river, a clear and clear lake, just so obliquely, broke into everyone's sight.

"Atami has arrived! Atami has arrived! Koubas shouted excitedly as he shot an arrow at the musk deer drinking from the lake.

It was only the sound of horses' hooves that made the musk deer vigilant. When you shoot again, the accuracy is not satisfactory.

But that doesn't stop the excitement of expanding Bass! Hurry up and gallop towards the lake. Not to be outdone, the others waved their whips and were the first to reach the lake.

I have to say that this feeling of being in the middle of heaven and earth is really wonderful. The worries that lingered in my heart were also gone away in an instant. Li Chengji couldn't help but close his eyes and take a big breath, so that he could enjoy the rare comfort for one more second.

But Da Da Da ยท Suddenly there was a hurried sound of horses' hooves behind him. With a whoosh, the sound of breaking through the air galloped in.

Li Chengji opened his eyes instantly, and saw a stray arrow, which suddenly slashed past him.

Before he could come back to his senses, the arrow passed through the left ear of Wang Mingxiao's mount at a very fast speed.

Hiss... Gotta get it... In pain, the horse jumped high. Then he went berserk and ran straight to the lake.

"Hoo hoo hoo hoo huh

But the horses were so mad that they didn't listen to them. It wasn't until there was a pop, even people and horses, that they fell into the lake and finally stopped their madness.

Seeing this, the close distance of Kumbas, Yila Chong'a, and Shi Malin immediately exclaimed, big brother, and hurriedly dismounted and ran to the lake.

Lee Seung-ji, Sun Ming-hee and others were lagging behind, and they immediately turned around to take a look. I saw a few sons and daughters led by Mladili, who happened to be riding tall horses and standing behind them.

Among them, the bow in Mladili's hand was still trembling slightly.

Now, as long as you don't go blind, you can see what's going on.

Wang Mingyan was furious, and immediately spat at Mlatili, and scolded viciously: "Despicable! โ€ใ€‚

Li Chengji, Yira Chong'a and the others also looked at Mlatili and them with gloomy faces, wanting to see what they would say.

"Hehehe... I haven't ridden and shot for a long time, and my eldest brother's archery has regressed a lot! As if he hadn't seen Li Chengji, Kuoqikar said gracefully.

Zhang Xinglu's expression immediately moved, and he answered: "It's not that the eldest brother's archery skills are lazy, it's that there are too many people who are in the way." โ€ใ€‚

As he spoke, Wang Mingxiao had been fished up from the lake by the Expansion Bass. It's wet, so it's not embarrassing. Listening to Zhang Xinglu's words again, Kumbas immediately scolded without fear: "Mouse Zhang, I haven't seen you for a few days, isn't it solid again?" โ€ใ€‚ As he spoke, he was gearing up, and the threat was very strong.

But surprisingly, Zhang Xinglu didn't pay attention to it at all.

Mlatili only looked at Li Chengji and them coldly, then waved his horsewhip and led the brothers to go elsewhere.

The expansion of the bass is unwilling, and wants to stop it. But Wang Mingxiao shook his head and stopped drinking.

Thinking of the current situation, Li Chengji could only look at Mlatili and them leaving with a cold face.
