As soon as the day dawned, the army set off, non-stop, rushing to the snowy region...

"Look, Lord, that's Mount Phugel." After running for hundreds of miles in a row, it was already evening, when Pan Long suddenly grabbed the reins of his horse and shouted in the distance.

Luo Yi raised his head and looked towards the sky, and sure enough, he saw a high mountain, snow-white and snow-white, like a huge snowman piled up.

Strange to say, it doesn't feel so cold in this location, but it has frozen in the distance.

"Let's go, go over and have a look."

Luo Yi waved his hand, and five thousand people rode war horses and approached Mount Pujir. At the foot of the mountain, there is a river that is not too big, and there is a bridge over it.

Pan Long said: "Lord, after crossing this bridge, there is a snowy area in front of you." ”

Luo Yi stopped, looked back and forth, and said with a smile: "I'm really surprised, there is snow on the other side of the bridge, but we are warm here..." ”

"My lord, please."

"Let's go."

Walk slowly forward, admiring the snow as you walk.

The dolls had never seen such a big snow-capped mountain, so they couldn't help but scream and talk about it.

"Such a big snowy mountain..."

"If you don't come to the snowy region, how can you see it anywhere else?"

"Gurgle... It was an eye-opener.... ”

Luo Yi stayed in place for a long time, until it was getting dark, and then said, "Let's go, let's go to the front and find a place to camp." ”

And so, the five thousand men went on...

After walking for more than 30 miles, they came to a tribe, which was the smallest tribe closest to Xiqiang, with less than 2,000 people. They lived in very simple places, some lived in caves, some could live under tree branches, and some built a shed in the snow and covered with quilts or something.

When Luo Yi and the others arrived, they were warmly welcomed, and because of Pan Long, every household took out the food.

But Luo Yi didn't ask for it, and when his team came out, they all carried dry food with them.

According to Pan Long, such a small tribe has a very tight life, and has no property, let alone go outside to exchange for things, so it has to rely on the relief of the big tribe.

However, people here live a long life and can live to be more than a hundred years old.

Luo Yi walked around and found that as Pan Long said, the people here are really a common phenomenon when they are a hundred years old, and their bodies are very strong.

"Lord, our place is mainly full of mountains and water, and in a few days, I will take you to another place." Lying in the tent, Pan Long said with a smile.

He now truly feels like home.

Luo Yi asked puzzledly: "It is said that your snowy region is rich in snowy horses, but is it true?" ”

"yes."

Pan Long said: "Further on, there will be plains, as long as it is a big tribe, they will raise snowy horses, some are used to eat, and if they can't finish eating, they will be sold outside." However, it is rarely taken out and sold, after all, it is not enough to eat. ”

"Our war horses in the snow region are very strong, their bodies are relatively tall, and most of them have white fur, which can adapt to any weather, if they are formed on a large scale and get to the Central Plains, they will definitely be invincible."

Luo Yi said with a smile: "Then when I get to the big tribe, I will facilitate their discussions, exchange food for war horses, and replace the 20,000 cavalry under Luo Tong's command, as well as the cavalry regiment that is about to be formed." ”

"With the Snow Horse, the combat effectiveness of my Longxi army can be raised to a higher level!"

As they spoke, the two fell asleep...

Early the next morning, the sky brightened, and Luo Yi was directly awakened by the freezing weather.

The quilt was originally covered on the body, but it was kicked to the ground.

After sneezing twice, Luo Yi came to the tent, turned over his horse, and took a few steps forward, and saw that Pan Long had already led the dolls to get ready to go.

"Let's go, keep going!"

Luo Yi shouted, took the lead, and headed towards the hinterland of the snowy region...

This time, he ran directly for two days and traveled more than 600 miles to the hinterland of the snowy region, which is Pan Long's hometown.

The Pan tribe used to be a very small tribe, but since Pan Long gained power, the tide has risen, and many small tribes have gained support, and they have merged with the Pan tribe, and finally the Pan tribe has become the largest tribe in the snowy region.

"Daddy, I'm back." Pan Long got off his horse and hurriedly ran towards the big tent.

Zang Ba, Lin Feng and others, under Luo Yi's instructions, brought 5,000 people to an open place and set up camp.

Luo Yi also followed Pan Long closely and walked towards the big tent.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Pan Long's father, Pan Song, walked out, knelt down and said, "Meet the general." ”

"Patriarch Pan is exempt, please get up."

Luo Yi helped him up.

Immediately after, the three of them entered the account.

Luo Yi sat down and asked, "Patriarch Pan, how is the life in the clan this year?" Are you still short of food and less clothing? ”

Pan Song smiled with a smile on his face, put one hand on his chest, and saluted: "With the help of the general, this year, our snowy region is much better." Thank you, General. ”

"Don't thank me, you should thank your son, you gave birth to a good son."

Pan Long smiled.

Pan Song glanced at Pan Long, and a satisfied look appeared on his face.

Pan Song said: "In the future, I Long'er will follow the general, even if you call him, if he is disobedient, you tell me, I will definitely beat him up." ”

When Luo Yi heard this, he laughed.

Soon, Pan Song asked people to have a large table of wine banquets, goat milk wine, roasted whole sheep, and other foods that could not be eaten in the Central Plains, which opened Luo Yi's eyes.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Luo Yi said: "Patriarch Pan, I need 50,000 snowy horses in Longxi, I don't know if you can gather them, if you can raise them, I am willing to exchange them for food." ”

Pan Song said boldly: "What did the general say, you gave us so much food, if we need snowy horses, I will give them away for free..." ”

"But... My tribe doesn't have much, so I can only raise 5,000, and I will persuade the other tribes to raise 50,000 for the general. ”

didn't expect things to go so smoothly, Luo Yi was overjoyed and said, "Okay, I'll give the patriarch a cup." ”

The two of them picked up the goat's milk wine and drank it all.

"Patriarch Pan, I have one more good news for you."

"Oh? What's the good news? ”

Luo Yi glanced at Pan Long and said with a smile: "Pan Long, do you know the good news I said?" ”

"Yes, yes." Pan Long smiled and said to Pan Song: "Daddy, the lord wants to hand over the snowy region to you and make you the prince of the snowy county." ”

Luo Yi said: "Yes, in the future, the snow region will also have to implement the county system, and the Pan patriarch is the Taishou of this snow county." With this identity, it will be more comfortable for you to go and convince the tribes. ”

Pan Song was excited, and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, General." Oh no, thank you, lord. ”

"Hahaha... Okay, let's keep drinking. ”

Luo Yi smiled heartily, picked up the wine bottle and said.

Next, including Pan Long, the three of them drank in the dark and unconscious.

The appointment of the officials arrived half a month later, and Qin sent here to hand over the Great Seal of Guan Fang to Pan Song.
