Dozens of miles north of Hamiwei is the Tianshan Mountains, the Tianshan Mountains that span thousands of miles can be described as the pearl of the Western Regions, the jade belt in the desert, because the mountains are covered with snow all the year round, and the snow water is abundant, so the Tianshan Mountains are not different from the deserts on both sides of the desert are yellow and yellow, but the vegetation is rich and full of green.

Of course, if it is a mountain several kilometers high, this greenery usually starts from the mountainside, because the top of the mountain is a world of ice and snow.

Mt. Erlang, north of Hamiwei, is one such high mountain, with snow on the top of the mountain all year round, but the mountainside and valley are full of greenery.

March is the season when the snow and ice melt, the grass sprouts, the treetops bloom green, and the animals come alive.

On this day, five men in fur coats suddenly appeared in the mountainside of Erlang Mountain, they were all burly, holding mountain knives and carrying longbows, at first glance they looked like hunters in the mountains, but their equipment was a little too neat, and they did not go down the mountain after hunting a goat, but carried the goat to the top of the mountain!

There were no tents or houses in the direction they were heading, except for the rocks and ice, so what did they want to do?

The answer was soon revealed, and when they walked near the snow line, a young man with a telescope on his back suddenly jumped out from behind a boulder and said excitedly: "Third brother, you have arrived, and I saw you carrying goats from afar, and my saliva is about to flow out!" “

The leading man among the five shook his head and scolded with a smile: "Little Liuzi, you have itchy skin, right, don't you hurry back to the sentry, be careful that the captain knows and beats you on the board." “

When Xiao Liuzi heard this, he touched his head, ran back with a smoke, and said with a smile as he ran: "Third brother, if you don't sue the captain, you won't know, he has already gone back to the cave to boil water, he said that he will come to the pot of whole sheep soup today, and you will have to leave me a big bowl at that time." “

It turned out that this was a guard post of the Ming army, hiding near this snow line and looking down, just enough to have a clear view of the wasteland below.

The five men threw the goat into the nearby stream, and hurried into a cave behind them, and soon they came out of the cave again, but this time the longbow on their backs was gone, and they were not holding a mountain knife in their hands, but carrying a bucket and a basin, and a boning knife.

Soon, the five men were skinning and washing the goats in the stream, and cutting them into several pieces.

They spread the sheepskin directly on the boulder, and the mutton and the washed organs were carried into the cave.

This is a semi-open giant cave, not very deep, the furnishings inside are very simple, that is, two military tents, a small open space in the middle, a simple wood stove with stones in the open space, and a large iron pot on top of the stove, nothing more.

At this time, a middle-aged man was lighting a fire there, and the snow water in the big iron pot had already boiled.

As soon as the five men came in with mutton and haggis, the man who was burning the fire said loudly: "Third brother, hurry up, take out the bones, throw them in first, cut the meat and intestines into small pieces and throw them in together." “

The third child answered, and led everyone to skillfully remove the large piece of mutton bone and throw it into the pot, and then began to cut the meat and intestines into pieces.

The man who was burning the fire ran into a tent at a hurry, and after a while he ran out with two cloth bags.

There are spices in a cloth bag, all star anise, cinnamon, grass fruits, bay leaves, this thing in the Western Regions is very cheap, and the man grabbed a few handfuls without hesitation and threw them into the pot.

The other bag was coarse salt, and he didn't dare to throw a lot of it in, so the man grabbed a handful and threw it in, stirred it with a spoon a few times, tasted another mouthful of soup, and then threw a small handful.

He was seasoning it there, and another man reminded, "Captain, why don't you find some mushrooms and put them inside, that thing will taste good." “

The captain glared at him and scolded: "Roll the calf, you dead mouse, you didn't pull us to death last time, a lot of mushrooms are poisonous!" “

When the strong man nicknamed the rat heard this, he touched his head and said innocently: "The mushrooms in our side are all non-poisonous, and every household eats them." “

The captain smiled: "That's okay, if you want to eat, you can find something to put in your own bowl, if you don't have diarrhea after eating, we will eat again." “

"This." , When the mouse heard this, he seemed to be really moved, but after thinking about it, he still gave up, he really pulled too much last time, especially him, who ate the most, and the whole person collapsed, he really didn't have the courage to try again.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw his embarrassed appearance.

At this moment, Xiao Liuzi, who was watching from a distance, suddenly ran in and asked loudly, "What are you laughing at, is the mutton okay?" “

The captain immediately made a blank face and scolded: "You kid has itchy skin, right, why don't you stay at the sentry post, why did you run back?" Can we still do without you, I'll send it to you later. “

The little sixth son trembled when he heard this, and said aggrievedly: "No, captain, I'm not here to eat mutton, just now Shi and I saw Yang Qianhu coming from the north with two people fighting horses, so let's tell you, it is estimated that he has gone up the mountain at this time." “

When the captain heard this, he threw away the burning stick in his hand, stood up, and hurriedly said, "Little Liu, you hurry back to the sentry position, the third child, you are watching here." “

With that, he walked out quickly, and the little six hurriedly followed.

At this time, at the foot of Erlang Mountain, three men dressed as herdsmen had turned over and dismounted, and the leader hurriedly threw the reins behind him and said, "You are watching here." “

Then he swept quickly up the mountain, flashing and moving, and soon became a black dot.

The captain had just walked not far from Xiao Liu's sentry post, and Yang Qianhu had already swept over like a gust of wind, and his figure was like a bird.

When Yang Qianhu came to him, the captain hurriedly knelt down on one knee and saluted: "The villain sees Lord Qianhu." “

Yang Qianhu raised his hand and hurriedly said, "Excuse me, hurry, I have an urgent military situation to report to General Hou." “

With that, he swept straight in the direction of the cave.

The captain quickly got up and ran to the cave.

After Yang Qianhu came to the cave, he didn't care about the third and others who knelt on the ground and saluted, let alone what was going on with the smell of meat in the cave, but directly swept into a tent.

The captain followed behind and shouted, "Third brother, come and shake the generator." “

With that, he followed him into the tent.

The third child hurriedly got up from the ground and ran into the tent.

After Yang Qianhu entered the tent, he walked directly to the small table with the telegraph machine, and as soon as the pair of captains came in, he urged: "Hurry up." “

The captain hurriedly lay down in front of the table, took out a telegraph, and then directly lifted the brush, dipped it in some ink that had already been polished, and looked at Yang Qianhu with the pen.

That Yang Qianhu's face was straight, and he said loudly: "The subordinate Jinyi Weinan Town Fusi Qianhu Yang Daoying Qiyu Marquis, the Tile Spur Department issued a convening order three days ago, and gathered nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses, which seems to have a plan, and the Kazakh Khanate also gathered 100,000 cavalry four days ago, and went straight to the Khan's Court of the Tile Spur Department, and the Tile Spur Department did not send troops to stop the difficulty on the way. “

This clearly shows that it is going to attack the Ming Dynasty, and there is no country in the Western Regions that needs the Tile Spur Department and the Kazakh Khanate to join forces to deal with it!
