Chapter 620: Return of the North

In mid-to-late February of 634, Cao Chi was getting the armistice agreement signed by Bailiyan and Mooney, but because the conditions were too generous, he thought it was fake at first glance. The Moon God King Brendo was angry about the ransom, and when he heard Cao Chizheng say that it was fake, he immediately knocked off the table and almost drew his sword to fight it alone.

The ransom spread among the princes' armies, and it was no longer important whether the war was stopped in the end, and how to distribute this wealth was a big case that each family had to take seriously.

In March of 634 in Shengyuan, Baili Yan traveled to "Longkril Lake", camped at night and heard the sound of horses, Baili Yan ordered people to find it, and found thousands of "strange horses" in the west of Longclier Lake.

This horse has never been seen before this, and the Jinxuedi people have been going back and forth for hundreds of years to find that there is still this horse in the world.

This horse is amazingly tall, far above the sweaty horses, thoroughbreds, and even Arabian horses, with a back between two and two meters two, a long and strong body, four extremely developed, rough as a cow's leg, and the horse's hooves can no longer be described by the sea bowl.

The horse's hooves are big, huge as a football, stepping on the snow without sinking, the body shape is more robust and majestic than the Jin Xuedi people's horses, the speed is fast, the endurance is strong, like a giant beast in the horse, amazing, even the Jin Xuedi Maxima is beyond the reach of the dust.

Its color may be black or red dates, and there are also white horses, but they are very rare.

Bailiyan coveted its sturdy pace, so people rounded up for seven days, Bailiyan once personally went out of the horse, even changed eleven thousands of miles of horses to exhaust the physical strength of this "strange horse" head horse, and captured it, after the initial fierce struggle, finally the horse surrendered, and its horses were all owned by the Xian army.

Only because of this horse nose and broad shoulders, strong as a beast, it was named "Jianbao", and because it was far better than a thousand miles of horses because of the galloping like electricity, it got the reputation of "a thousand miles of leap".

Jin Xuedi Maxima galloped at full speed for three hundred miles without getting tired, often marched up to thousands of miles a day, and had excellent endurance, and this horse galloped four or five hundred miles like stepping on the top of the clouds without feeling tired, like a god in the sky driving down to earth.

With this horse, Bailiyan galloped more than 1,300 miles in three days, and galloped back and forth in six days, such as taking the express, and the mood was unprecedentedly good.

It's just that the car is good and the fuel is expensive, so the fuel consumption of the SUV is also amazing.

Jin Xuedi's warlike horse is 1.5 times the food of the Central Plains good horse, the food volume of the Maxima is twice that of the Central Plains good horse, and the food volume of the Jianbao horse is 1.5 times that of the Maxima. If you don't eat grass, the only concentrate you need is a huge expense.

In March, Su Fangyi, Gongliangwen, and Bailiyan jointly sent a letter to the camp of the coalition army, but there was no mention of gold or silver, which could not help but make the princes extremely annoyed.

As the war continued, the undercurrents were already turbulent in private, and Cao Chi was feeling troubled and immediately began to negotiate a final truce with Blendor.

In April, the two sides accepted an armistice, the siege of Tiannan Pass was lifted, and Brenduo withdrew his troops. Knowing that the Northern Coalition Army was taking the middle route, Brendo was also worried that the coalition forces would reverse course and avoid the middle line, so he switched to the Western Front to prevent the coalition forces from cheating.

In mid-April, Cao Chizheng's envoy arrived at the camp of the Soviet side to contact the news, and at the same time it was discovered that scouts from various countries were following behind, under the pretext of watching the withdrawal of the Jinxuedi people, to monitor the northern coalition forces.

In late April, the brigade arrived at the Jieping boundary, and Bailiyan, Su Fangyi, and Gongliangwen broke away from the brigade and went to the base camp of Cao Chizheng in Yuecheng. Su Fangyi and Gongliangwen both rode thousands of miles of horses, and only Bailiyan and others rode thousands of miles of leaps, and the speed was so fast that the leading guests were shocked at first glance.

It took less than three days for Qianlima and Qianli Yue to go from the south of Jieping to Yuecheng, and the speed was quite fast, and Bailiyan still had time to wait for Su Fangyi and Gongliangwen for most of the day.

Arriving at the south gate of Yuecheng and stopping for a few miles, Jiang Jie couldn't hide his excitement, jumped off a thousand miles, and grabbed a handful of soil to show Bailiyan:

"My lord, we're back alive!"

"Yes, if you count from the defeat of Duhui, it should be almost four years, I didn't expect to come back alive......"

Thousands of emotions are indescribable, Baili Yan's heart vicissitudes, since the southern expedition in 629, the campaign has been more than five years, the blood has been drained, the dead are millions, the martyrs are in the ground, how can the price be measured by gold and silver treasures, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a catastrophe.

When Gongliangwen, Su Fangyi and his attachΓ© arrived, the three of them entered the city together.

When passing through Tiannan Pass, the city wall is seriously damaged, the moon city is even worse, the huge city wall is already in ruins, it can be seen how tragic the battle of reconquest is, the craters on the wall are full of craters, telling the tragedy of ten thousand cannons, and the scorched black city bricks pour out painful sorrow.

As soon as he entered the city, the news reached the temporary office, and Cao Chi was sending a letter from the Soviet side to greet him, and sounded the battle call of the royal guest victory in the whole city.

"Brother Xian is going to suffer now, please accept it as a brother!" Su Fangxin gave a deep salute and was in awe in his heart.

"The elder brother is polite, and the younger brother is ashamed."

Su Fangyi hurriedly went to support Su Fangxin, and Su Fangxin still gave the three of them a deep gift.

"This salute respects Brother Xie Xian, Gongliang and Baili, the two generals who fought brutally, and made great contributions to my Central Plains, and I deserve it."

"The elder brother is sincere, and the younger brother is worshiped by everyone."

Su Fangyi, Gongliangwen, Bailiyan and others bowed and returned the salute, and the two sides were polite, Su Fangxin turned around and led the way and walked in front, saying as he walked:

"The marshal of the southern land has already known about it, so let the brother talk to the virtuous brother and everyone first."

"But the marshal is talking about gold and silver?"

"Exactly, the matter that Gongzi Yan once asked for a ransom from Jin Xuedi has already spread in the princes' armies, and now it is in an uproar, and you and you must be prepared."

"What did the shepherd say?"

Su Fangyi asked, and Su Fangxin's face suddenly became heavy:

"The Shepherd has passed away!"

"What, the shepherd's gone." When Su Fangyi heard the news, his mood was extremely heavy, and he asked, "When will it be?" ”

"Mingzhou was lost, the army was defeated, the pastoral division was ill, and on the way to Wang Lu, he unfortunately fell seriously ill and died, and now he is in charge of the general army division for his brother. In addition......"

When the words came to his mouth, Su Fangxin suddenly stopped, his eyes fell on Bai Liyan, and before Su Fangxin could speak, Bai Liyan already knew from his face:

"It's a teacher!"

"Well......" Su Fangxin nodded and said: "After Yesui was besieged, the army was no longer able to rescue, and Saiqian failed to break through, and was trapped in the city to death in blood, unable to break through. ”

After Duhui broke through, the coalition army turned to the whole line and retreated, successively Saiqian was killed in battle, the general army division Mu Yu died of illness, the general of Yuke Sang Shi was seriously injured, the Song State Grand Sima Shutong was killed in battle, the Jin State Governor Liu Huang died in battle, the Zhiguo Grand Sima Tao Yong's second son Tao Liang died in battle, and the other vassal states and the military governors below the Governor and the Commander died 200 people.

The most unjust is Pu Taiji, the commander of the city palace, who was directly hit by a boulder of the Flying Eagle Beast during the siege of the city by Jin Xuedi and was killed on the spot.

Sai Qian's death made Bai Liyan extremely sad, no amount of gold, silver and victory at this time could not turn back time twenty years ago, if he could, he would rather use all the wealth in the world in exchange for the lost time.

As he spoke, Su Fangxin saw that the horses were different, and hurriedly asked:

"Brother Xian, if you sit down on this horse, it shouldn't be the Jin Xuedi war horse, right?"

Su Fangyi took the brown Maxima in his hand and said:

"This is Jin Xuedi Maxima, produced on the top of the barbarian plateau, galloping three hundred miles without tired, Jin Xuedi north and south news access, are transmitted by this horse relay, spring and summer half moon 20 round trip can be reached, autumn and winter January or two can reach all parts of the two provinces outside the Guan. This time it is all thanks to the credit of Yan Gongzi, this time there are a total of more than 140 horses of male and female, which can be used for breeding in the Central Plains in the future. ”

"It's really good, our army has fought repeatedly, although more than ten horses have been captured one after another, most of them have been captured by other vassal states and dedicated to the lord of the country, I only have four horses in the hands of the royal guests, far less than enough to breed, I never thought that Yan Gongzi got back more than 1,400 horses, it is really a blessing for my Central Plains."

As soon as the words fell, Su Fangxin was about to bow to Xie Bailiyan, but his eyes turned and he was taken aback again:

"Shhh...... This horse is so healthy and strong, Yan Gongzi, is this horse also a thousand miles horse? ”

"Don't hide it from the Soviet Army, this horse is my army on the way to the north and find it by chance, because it is not tired of galloping 500 miles a day, far better than a thousand miles of horses, so it is called Qianli Yue below, also called Jian Baobao. Faster than Maxima. ”

"It's unbelievable that there are such good horses in the world, it's really rare."

Before Su Fangxin's voice fell, Su Fangyi said again:

"Brother doesn't know anything, Yan Gongzi's ability is not small. The black horse in his hand was the head horse, and it took seven days and seven nights to capture and surrender him. Finally the horse was subdued, and all of his horses were in the thousands. ”

The Soviet letter was very surprised when he heard the news:

"There are thousands of such good horses!"

Su Fangyi affirmed:

"Exactly."

Everyone said as they walked, and Su Fangxin was all amazed.

After a while, I came to the governance center, which was still a piece of rubble, and the only remaining houses were barely usable after repairs.

Cao Chi is leading everyone to greet each other outside the door, and when they meet, they are polite:

"Mr. Su, General Gongliang, and Yan Gongzi, the three barbarians have fought hard for many years, and they have made miraculous contributions to the transformation of our army from defeat to victory, and the commander is grateful!"

"The marshal is serious." Su Fangyi returned the salute and said: "It is all thanks to the hard work of all the armies in the Central Plains that our army has room to move. ”

"Hehaha...... Well deserved. ”

After a brief conversation with Su Fangyi, Cao Chizheng had a polite conversation with Gongliangwen, and then said to Bai Liyan:

"Yan Gongzi is very great, the first time I heard that Yan Gongzi went south to fight hard, the commander didn't believe it at first glance, the second year intercepted the barbarian army battle report, only to know that Yan Gongzi has joined forces with Mr. Su to grow the momentum, our army can have today's big victory, Yan Gongzi should be the first meritorious, hahaha......"

"The marshal has a good reputation, and it is also a fluke to win this battle, and it is really unimaginable that there is a slight difference."

"Hehaha, Yan Gongzi is modest, go, please come inside!"

Cao Chi invited everyone in, and then ordered the royal guests to empty all the people within a radius of 100 steps, and at the same time mobilized 3,000 people to defend them.

In order to welcome Su Fangyi and others, the temporary administration opened a hall and set up a banquet to entertain everyone.

"Marshal, this is the details of the loot obtained this time, how to dispose of it, please ask the marshal to decide."

Cao Chizheng laughed:

"Okay, take it."

Signaling the guards to take away the schedule, Cao Chizheng didn't look at it, and directly put it in his arms.

The catalogue contains only detailed records of horses, unicorns, spices, leathers, furs, medicinal herbs, precious stones, and other trophies. It does not include the gold and silver that have been privately divided before, and there is no share of each of them.

This does not include the thousands of healthy horses and thousands of horses that were taken by Bailiyan, all in all, those who were handed in were all leftovers.
