109 Attack on Chu (4)
After Alem left, only Qin Luo and Uncle Sandan were left in the racecourse. Since Qin Luo left here, the two of them have cut off contact, and now they haven't seen each other for three or four years.
"Uncle, have you been okay in the past few years?" Qin Luo asked.
"I'm still the same, feeding the horses and watching the horses every day. It's you, I've been hearing people talk about your deeds lately. Qin Luo, you are really not an ordinary person. "When Uncle Sang Dan was in trouble in Qin Luo, he saw that this young man was not a thing in the pool. Even if he was a slave at the time, he couldn't hide his unique temperament.
Qin Luo waved his hand and smiled: "Actually, I didn't do anything. ”
"You saved Qingyun, isn't it a big credit?" Uncle Sandan said, "We should thank you. ”
Qin Luo felt guilty, but he couldn't afford the gratitude of the Qingyun herdsmen. He helped Qingyun, but it was just to destroy the Black Rock Division. In the final analysis, Qin Luo is helping Da Chu and his homeland.
Uncle Sang Dan and Qin Luo chatted a few words and chatted about the recent situation. Qin Luo brought the topic back to the original question, "Uncle Sandan, General Zuo's horse, how sure are you?" ”
"Fifty percent." Uncle Sandan was also a little unsure in his heart, he had to wait for all the horses to come over and feed them for a while before he knew if it had any effect.
Qin Luo nodded thoughtfully, he actually hoped that Uncle Sang Dan would fail. In this way, without war horses, the attack on Chu will be hindered.
"War horses have to run long distances and require physical strength. If you are hunting in general, you only need speed. Uncle Sang Dan asked Qin Luo, "General Zuo wants those horses, what is they for?" ”
"Who knows, tomorrow when General Zuo sends the horse, you can ask." Qin Luo had reservations and did not tell Uncle Sang Dan about his guesses.
After returning from Uncle Sandan, Qin Luo did not go directly back to his tent, but went to the small cave. He left a message telling Sun, the blacksmith, that he should ask Uncle Sandan how many horses there were and where they were used.
Blacksmith Sun and Uncle Sandan have always been in contact, and they have a good relationship. Qin Luo took a fancy to this, so he introduced Uncle Sandan to Alem, fought in a roundabout way, and spoke out.
Blacksmith Sun saw the letter the next day, although he didn't understand why Qin Luo asked this, but he knew that Qin Luo must have something urgent, otherwise he would not leave a message to himself. Blacksmith Sun found an excuse and came to Uncle Sandan's racecourse.
"Yo, so many horses?" As soon as the blacksmith Sun entered, he saw that the usually deserted horse farm, there were hundreds of more horses at once, and he looked at these horses in surprise, although they were hungry and thin, but they could vaguely see that they were all good horses.
"It's General Zuo's horse." Uncle Sandan said, "I just sent it yesterday, and I'm dying." ”
"There must be hundreds of horses, your little racetrack, it's not enough." Blacksmith Sun asked suspiciously.
"yes, and more than a few hundred." Uncle Sandan pointed to the distance and said to him, "The other horses are in the pasture next door. General Zuo lent me the pasture as well. ”
Blacksmith Sun naturally asked, "What is General Zuo going to do when he raises so many horses?" ”
Uncle Sandan did not doubt the motive of blacksmith Sun for asking, and he said frankly: "General Zuo didn't say it, but I guess it's estimated that there will be a war." ”
"Got a war?" Blacksmith Sun pretended to look at him in surprise, "Who are you hitting?" ”
"It must be Nan Chubei." Uncle Sandan speculated, "General Zuo wants to make these horses fat, and they need to have good endurance." It's definitely going to be a long journey, and it looks like it's going to be a big battle. ”
Blacksmith Sun Ye had already guessed that after Tuoba Yan cleaned up the Black Rock Department, the next target would definitely be Da Chu. After all, the Qingyun Ministry and the Chishui Ministry have just married, so it is impossible to fight the Chishui Ministry now.
However, after the war, food was scarce. It's autumn now, and the grass on the grassland is gradually turning yellow. Whenever this time comes, the Xiangqiang people will always go to the Central Plains to loot and seize food for the winter. At this time, Qingyun must have wanted to attack Chu State even more.
For this, Qin Luo and blacksmith Sun had already prepared, but they didn't expect that Tuoba Yan would not be a small fight, or directly attack Yangcheng.
"How many horses did General Zuo give you?" Blacksmith Sun asked.
"Thousands of horses. I haven't counted the specifics, what's wrong? Uncle Sandan looked at the blacksmith Sun strangely, in the past, this guy was indifferent to other things except iron.
"It's nothing, I'm afraid you don't have enough manpower." Blacksmith Sun hurriedly found a way to get by.
Uncle Sandan smiled: "It's okay, General Zuo not only lent me the pasture, but also gave me some horse breeders." I just need the ingredients now, and they'll move over and feed the horses. ”
"General Zuo is really generous." Blacksmith Sun said with a sigh. He knew very well in his heart that this was all instructed by Tuoba Yan, and it seemed that in order to attack the Chu State, Tuoba Yan really made a bloody investment.
"By the way, why did you come here?" Uncle Sandan knew that blacksmith Sun was busy striking iron every day, and he usually went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.
Blacksmith Sun had already found a sick horse, brought him over and said to Sandan: "This horse is sick, I want you to help me cure it." ”
"Well said." Uncle Sandan was very good at these little things, and he said to the blacksmith Sun, "You can leave it, I'm done with it, I'll show you." ”
Blacksmith Sun nodded, he was afraid that he would ask too much and make Sang Dan suspicious. He took it when he saw it, and planned to wait for the time to get the horse, and then look for an opportunity to ask.
Not only did Qin Luo and Blacksmith Sun guess that there would be a big battle, but even Ye Leyi, who was in the Golden Palace, had recently discovered something unusual.
For example, in recent days, many generals in the Golden Palace have come and gone, and they have hurried straight to the main hall to discuss military affairs with Tuoba Yan, often discussing until late at night. For another example, Tuoba Yan would go to the barracks every day to make rounds.
There must be a war. Ye Leyi thought to herself, either to fight Nanchu or to fight Chishui. However, Qingyun and Chishui only married, and it is more likely to attack Southern Chu.
In order to find out the exact news, Yeleyi took advantage of Jimmy's food to bring him food, and asked tentatively: "Jimmy, why haven't you seen the shadow of Khan lately, he hasn't come to eat with me for a long time." ”
"The Khan has to deal with military affairs every day, working day and night, please understand Yelkodun." Jimmy was angry when he saw that Yelkodun was idle every day and wanted to entangle Khan. Tuoba is so busy, how can he have time to fall into the love of children.
Yele smirked, "I'm just concerned about Khan's body, what is he up to?" ”
Jimmy automatically ignored the latter sentence, and she said indifferently: "Don't worry, I will take care of Khan's daily life and won't make him sick." ”
"But I'm still worried that I haven't seen him in a long time." Yereyi deliberately provoked Jimmy, got up and said, "No, I'm going to find him." ”
"Khan is busy." Jimmy tries to stop her.
"What's he's up to?" Yeleyi asked reluctantly.
"The Khan's preparations for war, Yelkodun, don't bother." Jimmy said angrily.
Sure enough, it was a war. Ye Leyi pretended to be surprised, and said anxiously and fearfully: "Fighting, where is the war?" It won't be Chishui. ”
"Nan Chu, of course." Jimmy rolled his eyes, he really didn't want to talk to this pestering Koldun.
Ye Leyi pretended to be ignorant and said: "Nan Chu, they are very weak, and if they fight casually, they will be beaten to the ground. ”
"Yelekodun, you're thinking too simply." Jimmy followed Khan's side every day, and although he didn't understand much about what they said about the war, he was not an "idiot" like Yelkodun.
"It was meant to be." Ye Leyi said disapprenously, "In the past, we Xiang Qiang often harassed the border of Southern Chu, where we needed to prepare anything, just fight directly." Jimmy, didn't you want me to go to the Khan and deliberately lied to me. ”
Jimmy was so angry that she was about to vomit blood, she needed to lie to "Yele"? Originally, Khan didn't like this woman. So in a hurry, Jimmy said bluntly: "This time it's not just about the border, I heard the Khan say that they want to attack the interior and fight all the way to the Lan River." ”
Oh my God, I didn't expect that this time, I would really have a big battle with Nan Chu. Ye Leyi really didn't expect Tuoba Yan to have such ambitions. She finally heard what she wanted to hear, and guiltily said to Jimmy, "I see, I ...... I'm wrong about you, don't take it personally. Don't worry, I won't be bothering Khan lately. ”
Jimmy secretly complained in her heart that this Kedun was really short-sighted, and she said expressionlessly: "How dare the slave and maid blame Yele Koldun, please eat, the slave and maid still have something to do, so retire first." ”
