Chapter 142 Snow falls on Qilian Mountain

Walking in the Gobi for a long time is a serious torture for people's mental and physical bodies.

Huo Qubing believed that if it weren't for the fact that the Han army was an all-cavalry army, and iron palms were added to the horses' hooves, it would be impossible for an army of 1,000 cavalry captains to come here safe and sound.

The first thing that catches your eye is the snow-capped mountains, and the sky is dazzlingly blue.

Beneath the snow-capped summits are patches of dark green alpine grasslands, which have just woken up from the cold winter and are rejuvenating.

Beneath the meadows are lush pine forests, and raging streams cascade down the mountains, eventually forming small rivers at the foot of the mountains, which do not stop at the foot of the mountains, but run almost all the time into the distance.

The melting snow water was cold and biting, but Huo Quai's black horse was not afraid at all, standing in the shallow drinking water and bowing his head to drink.

The anxiety and thirst of many days were all compensated at this moment.

Huo Quzhi sat on the stone, looked up at the snow-capped mountains in the distance and said to Zhao Ponu: "This is Qilian Mountain?" ”

Zhao Ponu nodded and said: "Qilian Mountain is thousands of miles away, and we don't know where we are!" ”

Huo Quzhi smiled: "We don't know where we are, presumably the same is true of the Huns!" ”

Zhao Ponu smiled: "It should be so!" ”

"That's good, let's start the conquest of the Huns from here!"

Zhao Ponu hesitated and said, "Did you come to summon him?" ”

Huo Quzhi shook his head and said: "It's good to be separated, it's good to be separated, he's behind my back, and I'm always uneasy." ”

"Once the war starts, the Hun horses run five hundred miles a day, and within three days, the matter of our coming to Qilian Mountain will spread all over Qilian Mountain, which is originally the territory of the Right Xian King, whether it is the evil king or the king of the day, they will be the enemy of us with the same qi."

"Although the Right Xian King is old and spicy, he doesn't have much control over Hexi, and it is the evil king who is talking here, and the king of the day!

We only attack the evil king, and there will be many people watching from the sidelines. ”

Zhao Ponu exclaimed: "It's not like this, we came to the home of the Huns this time, they don't have time to watch from the wall, in case we kill the evil king, the next one is them, the Han is the sworn enemy of the Huns, there is no possibility of peace." ”

Huo Quzhi smiled: "This is the best plan, Ah Lang said, we can make the best plan and start from the worst."

The order went down, and the whole army camped in the valley, and the rangers changed into Hun clothes to explore the land of hundreds of miles! ”

He Chou sat on a camel and watched Huo Quai's whole army disappear into the valley, so he said to the little dog: "We also have to find a stable place to camp, it is best not to choose the side of the army, the main thing is to have a broad vision." ”

The little dog smiled: "You said that the Huns have always lived by water, and there will always be Xiongnu herdsmen on the side of this river, so why don't we find a herdsman to replace them with herdsmen?" That's the best way to hide. ”

He Chou glanced at the little dog seriously, pinched the young face with his hand and smiled dotingly: "Good boy, good boy, this idea didn't even come out of the old man, it's really good!" ”

The little dog smiled and touched the back of his head, looking honest.

"Boy, the old man didn't have your scheming at your age, and with this honest face, he was indeed a good talent who ate the bowl of rice of the embroidered messenger.

Old man, the loss is that he has a wicked face, and before he walks in front of others, people are on guard, which is not good.

Or you kid has a future, as long as you are careful in the future, don't make mistakes, the future is limitless! ”

The little dog smiled: "It's all up to the ancestors, the kid is going." ”

He Chou smiled and waved his hand, seeing that the little dog and the other two young soldiers changed into a Hun boy clothes, rode the stolen Hun war horse, made a whistle, and ran down the mountain root on the left.

The remaining five teenagers, leading camels and war horses, also went into the woods, and He Chou had untied all eight wolves and relied on them for the initial vigilance.

The wolves were reluctant to leave, and they all gathered around the plow, looking at He Chou with an expectant face.

"Ah, the old man has forgotten that you haven't eaten today!"

The Hu man on the plough struggled in horror, but He Chou You didn't seem to see his pleading eyes, holding this Hu man in one hand, he threw him into the grass, and eight wolves rushed into the grass like lightning, and after a while, there was the sound of wolves biting.

The head wolf ate the fastest, and after a while he got out of the grass, He Chou wiped the head wolf's blood-stained mouth, patted his head, and the head wolf roared in a low voice, and the other seven wolves reluctantly got out of the grass, and ran out in eight directions according to their usual habits.

There are very few squirrels in the pine forest on Qilian Mountain, which may be related to the fact that the pine trees here do not produce pine nuts.

The grouse was startled out by the wolves, and before it flew far, it was shot down by the pebble in He Chouyou's hand.

A young soldier quickly went into the pine forest, and after a while he came back with two fat grouses, and without plucking his feathers, he washed and peeled the grouse with pine root water, filled the hollowed out grouse with some wild vegetables, sprinkled a handful of salt, and wrapped the whole chicken with mud to make a big mud ball.

A fire was opened on the edge of the stream, pine needles were lit, and dry wood was put on the rack, and in a moment a fire was raging.

The smoke filled the pine forest, some of which reached the sky through the treetops, but mixed with the mist between the pine forests, and was faint and almost undetectable.

"There was no such means in the army before, how could it be taught by Yunlang?"

Hua Er smiled: "Back to the ancestors, this craft is passed down in the army, we Qu Chang taught, when the mud shell is roasted dry, the chicken inside will be cooked, and the taste is good." ”

"That's what Yunlang taught, I have long heard that this kid is the best in the world in cooking, and the old man has worked with him for so long, and he hasn't tasted it."

Maybe it's because people are getting old, He Chou You always likes to talk about some gossip now, he used to always say to the squirrels in front of the door, but now he says to this group of young people.

The little dog's war horse crossed the river, and on the left side of the pine forest, there was a large green meadow, where the grass had just grown, and the large grassland was as smooth as a grass blanket.

There was cow and sheep dung in the grass, and the little dog jumped off the horse and pinched the cow dung, but the cow dung had not yet dried up, and the grass had been gnawed by cattle and sheep, which showed that there were shepherds nearby.

The little dog continued to follow the traces left by the cattle and sheep, and after walking two miles, he saw a huge cowhide tent.

A white cloud was blown by the wind from behind the mountain, and after the white cloud passed over the treetops, it turned a little black, and by the time the cloud reached the top of the dog's head, it had already turned into a dark cloud.

Thin rains fell from the sky, and the little dog stuck out his tongue and licked the raindrops on his lips, revealing a very honest smile to the shepherd who came from afar......

The bodies of the shepherd's family of six, three men and three women, are now lying in a pit of earth.

The puppy buried them with a shovel and finally shoveled some turf to cover the pit.

After doing all this, the little dog scratched his chin and said a little apologetically: "The army is raiding, and there is no life left along the way, I am also a military order that is difficult to disobey, don't blame me!" ”

The shepherd's dog barked wildly, and if he hadn't been leashed by the hospitable shepherd just now, it would have taken some effort to get rid of these two dogs.

The little dog glanced at the two fat big dogs coldly, and the big dog didn't flinch at all, and pounced on the thick forelimbs, eager to break the little dog into pieces.

A hammer smashed on the dog's head, poofed twice, the two big dogs collapsed on the ground, and a young soldier impatiently said to the little dog: "You can't stay, you have a lot of trouble!" ”

The look of innocence on the little dog's face flashed away, and then he smiled: "I'm called a puppy, and it's human nature to be nice to dogs!" ”

The young soldier with the hammer said coldly: "You two guard, I will go to greet the old ancestor, now it is raining, the old ancestor is weak, he can't get wet!" ”

The little dog smiled: "This is nature, this is nature, let's tidy up this place again, so that the ancestors can sleep well." ”
