Moreover, he returned a military salute on the horse, and then ordered loudly: "The whole army is drawn and encamped fifty miles away." ”

When he had finished speaking, he dismounted and went into his own chariot to rest.

Zuo Ling was lying on his throne inside, holding a crystal cup in his hand, enjoying a glass of chilled Western Regions wine.

Feeling that the convoy was leaving, Zuo Ling sighed: "Finally starting to leave, it's always scary to do things with you, can you not be so whimsical in the future." ”

Besides, he smiled: "You didn't see the little prince's convoy?" There are also a lot of vehicles, we just have more guards, and there are not too many materials, if it is according to your original idea, it will be a big loss. ”

Zuo Ling pouted: "There are only 2,000 cars, and there are more horses, cattle and sheep, but you have more than 3,000 more than others." ”

Besides, he smiled: "He's my brother, so you have to let me do a little." After speaking, he sat opposite Zuo Ling, and drank a glass of wine from the town.

Zuo Ling pursed her lips and smiled, she was really convinced, besides, she just met with the little prince, and she actually worshiped a cheap Anda, which is too good. The little prince's Anda, this identity still has a lot of weight in the prairie, and this time it is not unrelated to being able to take 10,000 people out of the customs smoothly.

In addition, I wanted to use the trick of canceling the negotiations to force the king of Alta to make concessions, so the risk is relatively large, and it is difficult to say whether it will lead to other problems. Of course, it is safer for the little prince to lobby the king of Alta.

"Go inside, people are still angry with you, so let's coax it." Left Antelope to the inner suite Nunu mouth.

The suite inside is equipped with Li Xiangjun and Xue'er, Wan'er, and Fei'er, three stunning maids, Li Xiangjun is pregnant because she is pregnant, so she enjoys the highest level of treatment and occupies the bedroom.

Zuo Ling also has his own bedroom in the chariot, and the level is not bad, after all, this chariot was built for the original Prince Yu and his concubines, and the specifications are certainly not low.

Besides, the bedroom was occupied by Li Xiangjun, and the other bedrooms were also allocated, and all he had now was a small study of his own, with a small couch on it for him to rest.

This arrangement was made by Zuo Ling, and it was intended to let him accompany Li Xiangjun more.

She is this kind of person, she shines when she should be jealous, but when she should care, she is also like a virtuous housewife.

Besides, his face was a little embarrassed, and after thinking about it for a while, he still went in, but fortunately, the door here was not locked, and Li Xiangjun couldn't lock him out.

The weather outside the Seikai is still very cool, and it is like a season worse than Kannai, and it has a feeling of autumn high and refreshing.

The extreme weather of wearing yarn at noon, cotton at night, and eating watermelon with a stove is talking about Turpan, the first of the four major stoves.

The convoy runs on the endless prairie, and there is no end in sight, as if it has been a world of grass since then.

However, this scenery is also extremely spectacular, which cannot be seen in the mainland, which makes first-time people feel relaxed.

The cavalrymen sat on their horses, looking at the boundless steppe with great shock in their hearts, but a sense of their own insignificance rose in their hearts, as if they had turned into a weed on the steppe, which was not enough at all.

Zhehan's men and horses were divided into two wings to guard the outside of the men and horses, but they were few in number, and they only guarded the section of the vehicles of the diplomatic mission, and they didn't care about the material convoy that stretched for more than ten miles behind.

Jehan was a Tatar commander of 10,000 soldiers, the commander of one of the four Janissaries of the King of Alta, and was also outstanding among the Tatar generals.

Fearing that the diplomatic corps would make any mistake on the way, the king of Altan sent his most capable generals and the most elite cavalry to protect them, and in the king's opinion, these three thousand men would be more than enough to deal with any unexpected situation, unless they were attacked by the full force of the Vara Uryanha tribe, which would not normally happen.

For the 10,000 people he carried, the king of Alta didn't care very much, so after receiving the letter from the little prince, he agreed to the little prince's request without hesitation, and allowed him to bring 10,000 horses into the customs.

King Alta also knew that the 10,000 people of Jinyiwei were specially trained, after all, Zhao Quan's eyeliner was everywhere in Beijing, and he also knew that the sixth guard was highly valued by the emperor and was well-equipped. However, the king of Altan still looked down on this newly trained army, and if there were 10,000 people in Guanning's iron cavalry, he would probably be able to take it seriously.

Zhehan is the same, he originally paid more attention to it in his heart, but after seeing these people, he couldn't help but contempt in his heart, these people didn't come to be on an errand at all, as if they were here to travel, all of them were dazzling, showing off their horses and uniforms, not to mention the embroidered spring knife hanging from their waists.

But that's about it.

Zhehan's years of combat experience have taught him that the more beautiful things are on the surface, the more they cannot be dismantled, and the shiny appearance may be a belly of straw bales inside.

He was proud of his men, who were the true warriors, the eagles of the prairie, the warriors who had been baptized by sword and fire and slain out of the pile of bones.

Therefore, if the two armies fought, he believed that if he didn't have a meal, he would be able to wipe out these 10,000 beautiful embroidered pillows with 3,000 people.

Now he looked at this contemptuous look at the guard, who had not yet been fully trained.

He even fantasized in his heart that if he really fought against such an enemy army, he could defeat them, kill them all, and then snatch the ten Pegasius, he didn't want anything else, as long as these ten Pegasus, in his opinion, were the most beautiful and miraculous creations in the world, a gift from heaven, and they should belong to a brave warrior like him, to a leader like King Alta, and not to such a weak scholar.

It's a pity that this army is not an enemy army, but a diplomatic corps that needs his full protection.

From the beginning of the journey, a dozen rangers followed them a few miles away, and the dozen or so rangers were obviously not in a group, but in several groups, and when they had followed half the way, they roared and rode away into the distance.

Ji Chang and the others didn't care, it was estimated that they were the rangers of a certain force, that is, scouts.

There were as many tribes as the stars in the steppes, and the various forces were even more complex, and the king of Altan was not able to unify all these tribes, large and small, and the Tatars were only the most powerful of all the tribes.

From the beginning to the end, the people outside the country did not establish a strong centralized system like the Central Plains Empire, but a tribal system, even when Genghis Khan was the most powerful, it was still like this, but the most powerful forces at that time were his sons and grandsons, so it seems that a unified kingdom has been built, but in fact it is not.

Therefore, as soon as Genghis Khan died, his sons and grandsons began to fight each other, fighting endlessly, almost for a hundred years, and finally the Yuan Dynasty perished in internal and external troubles.

During the Western Han Dynasty, the princes and kings with the same surname almost overthrew the Han Empire, but the centralized power of the great unification finally prevailed, and the rebellion of the princes and kings with the same surname was suppressed, and the centralized system became more and more consolidated.

"My lord, it seems to be a swarm of people." A Tatar cavalryman stepped forward two steps and said to Jehan.

"Yes, and people flying on the grass." Zhehan said with a smile.

"They're here for us." This cavalryman was a little worried.

Swarms and grassy flies are notorious rogues in the prairie, who practice a rush-and-run tactic, attacking merchants and settlements that are not protected by large tribes, and the methods are very cruel.

However, these rogues were all skilled in horsemanship, and they ran much faster than they could attack, and their strongholds were very secretive, and the Tartars had sent men to surround them, but they had not succeeded.

Zhehan looked at the long convoy of supplies behind him and said with a smile: "You are wrong, they are not coming for us, they smelled the fragrance, they are coming for those things." ”

The cavalryman didn't understand: "My lord, isn't that just for us?" Aren't we here to protect them? ”

"Confused, we are only in charge of protecting the diplomatic corps, these things are brought by them privately, and they are not within the scope of protection." Jehan woke him up.

The cavalryman understood, looking at the convoy behind him and salivating.

To be honest, they have long taken a fancy to the supplies on those carts and carts, which are rare treasures outside the Cypriots: salt, cloth, porcelain, fine silk, etc.

They really wanted to do it themselves, but they didn't dare.

"Your Excellency, you mean that if the rogue attacks these convoys, we can stay out of the way?"

"yes, that's what it means." Jehan laughed slyly.

The cavalryman knew that Lord Zhehan had taken a fancy to these supplies, so he wanted to loot the property by the hands of these rogues, and then ask them to share the spoils later.

Needless to say, as long as they get a share of the stolen goods, their subordinates can also get a share.

The cavalry whispered this message on their horses, and they were all very excited.

These people were also overjoyed to see the supplies on these vehicles, which they already had in their pockets, and the fly in the ointment was that they had to share the spoils with the notorious rogues.

"My lord, they seem to have bad intentions." One of the guards also saw the strange appearance of the Tatar cavalry, and whispered to Ji Chang.

Ji Chang was guarding outside the rest of the road at this time, looking at the endless half-human-high grassland around him, and said with a wry smile: "Everyone be vigilant, from now on, we are in the enemy territory, and there may be a firefight at any time." ”

These brocade-clad guards also whispered this order, and they all felt a surge of adrenaline, and some were eager to try.

The cavalrymen pressed their hands to the hilts of their swords, their eyes searching the surroundings like falcons, but nothing unusual happened, except for the soft moaning of the grass in the wind, the tapping of their own horses, and the rustling of their wheels.

After walking twenty miles, the convoy stopped and began to sharpen, mainly to give water and feed forage to the horses and cattle.

After the vehicle is stopped, get out of the car and come out to breathe.
