Early the next morning, Wuyi and they were ready to set off, this time to the north, cotton clothes are indispensable, fortunately, Hua Yuer She has been training women to make ready-to-wear clothes for the past two days, and temporarily rushed out cotton clothes for them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The military boots were also prepared, they were all made in accordance with Wuyi's requirements, and they were originally intended to be distributed together, but now they are also given priority to these fifteen people.

With a dogskin hat, wearing a knee-length gray woolen coat, and primary color cowhide soft-soled military boots under his feet, this is the dress of Wuyi today, very Republican style, and carrying a mirror box, then a living old bandit in the Northeast.

There was also Lao Zhao who set off with him, but he was heading south, so he didn't need to prepare so much, this time he had to go to Taiyuan Mansion and several cities in the south, and his task could determine whether the Wuyi plan was feasible, so naturally he couldn't be careless.

In the fifteen-person team, except for Wu Hu and Wang Tiejun, they all went to the grassland for the first time, and they were excited when they knew it yesterday, they had long wanted to see it, especially after being told by Lao Zhao that after a trip to the grassland, how many people wanted to go to the Tartars for a while.

"Damn, it was a fluke last time, the Tartars don't have arrows, otherwise it would be so simple." Wu Yi scolded in his heart, don't meet the Tartars this time, their team, only five muskets are arquebuses, it is difficult to use them on a horse, the rest are spears with sabers, Wu Hu is a mace, don't talk about the brigade when you encounter a Tartar, it is a few that can't bear it.

I went to Jiuniukou again, but this time there was no trade, so I didn't give Bai a total benefit, so I went all the way north to kill.

"The end of the gun is flat...... The team must ...... together"

How could Wu Yi let go of this training opportunity, they have not been exposed to weapon training, this time they took them to the riding gun, with the experience of killing the bandits last time, Wu Yi also briefly summarized, so that they can hold the riding gun with one hand.

He didn't have to rush too much along the way, and he also had to check the places suitable for staying in winter, preferably a village, so that he could sleep on the ondol and eat hot.

But he had more than a dozen cavalry on his body, not to mention the village, and no one dared to stand out in the military fort.

"Report, Martial Sect Leader, there seems to be no one in the military fort in front of here." Wu Long was on duty and came back to report.

"Let's go! Check it out! Be on your guard. Wu Yi looked at the sky and it was not too early, so he asked everyone to go and see what was going on.

This should be under the jurisdiction of the Shuozhou Guard, the military fort is not big, they approached and went around again, and there was no one in the main gate, so they went directly to the main gate.

There are no drawbridges, the gates are down, and inside are tattered, abandoned military forts?

"No one has lived in it for at least two months." Wang Tiejun stretched out his black hand, which was all floating dust.

Most of the ordnance in the fort is gone, and the wolf smoke is not prepared, which is really weird.

Wu Hu found a bucket and drew water from the well, which he could drink.

"Okay, let's rest here today, Shuangsen is on duty at night, Wu Hu arranges people, and everyone moves." Wuyi also arranged it.

He didn't have much impression here, last time because he was carrying horses, he still had an accident, he walked non-stop in this area near Shuobei, and the meals were solved on horseback, could it be that something happened to the city?

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, so he simply went to find out for himself.

Soon I knew the situation in a large army fort of a thousand households, and the Tartars were raging, and now there are only people in the military fort of the thousand households, and the other small military forts are all deserted, either broken by the Tartars, or the military households themselves have run away.

It can be said that there is no control of the imperial court around Shuobei now, dozens of military forts have been abandoned, and Shuofu is in danger.

This doesn't need to be called by the Tartars, but he ran away by himself, Wuyi's mood is very heavy, without Shuobei, then Ningwuguan will directly become the northern border, and the garrison of Ningwuguan is also worrying, I am afraid that Shangshui Village is really not as safe as he thought.

In just two days, Wu Yi rushed to the plain of the remnants of Chahar, and they did not leave, preparing to spend the winter here.

A trumpet sounded, and the Mongol cavalry rushed out from all directions, although their horses were short, but their speed was not slow at all, and in the blink of an eye they surrounded sixteen of them, and they were like fallen leaves in the cold wind.

Fifteen people of the People's Army were nervously holding their spears, and they were surrounded by more than 100 Mongolian warriors, each with a bow, even Wang Tiejun's face was pale, and only Wu Yi's face was normal.

"My boys are frozen and starving, and this is not the hospitality of your master of the grassland." Wu Yi shouted loudly, hoping to make the group stop.

The Mongolian horse team also stopped and formed a circle, but the bow and arrow did not fall, and a white horse came out of the edge, and the Mongolian man shouted loudly: "Who are you?" What to do? ”

"We are a caravan and once saved Hai Lanzhu, is she still here?" Wu Yi was not sure about the situation, and now he could only ask stubbornly.

Fortunately, the Mongolian cavalry slowly dispersed, and Wuyi also asked everyone to lay down their arms.

The Mongolian man on the opposite side took off his hood and revealed a strange hairstyle, "I remember you, a native of the Ming Dynasty, welcome you to our tribe as a guest, please come with me." ”

The steppe tribes are very strange, they were still tense just now, but when they got off the horse, they became herdsmen, driving the sheep away, and singing a long tune in their mouths, a little sad.

"Don't be too nervous, if you come, you will be safe, we are not here to be evil guests." Wu Yi comforted the young people and made them relax.

"Yes! Coach. Wu Hu knew that his voice was a little trembling, and then he whispered: "Sooner or later, I will let these Tartars know how powerful I am." ”

Wu Yi smiled, paused, and then said to the people behind him: "I know you also have questions, think why do I want to trade with the Tartars, not for food, the most important point, you can't let Jiannu unify the prairie, you have seen all the way, many local military forts have been destroyed, if the grassland is unified by Jiannu, Ningwuguan will not be guaranteed, and Shangshui Village will not be protected, do you think you have the strength to protect Shangshui Village now?" ”

Everyone's faces were a little red, just now they all felt the approach of death, and there was no chance of victory in the face of the Mongolian Tartars with bows.

"Not now, doesn't mean there won't be in the future, it's just that Nurhachi didn't bring as many soldiers as we do now, and he only started with thirteen pairs of armor." Wu Yi didn't want to hit them, so he told them with a smile.

"Dear guests from afar, welcome to come, wine and food are prepared in the big tent." A young Mongolian man walked up and greeted Wuyi very warmly, obviously the people in the big tent just wanted to talk to Wuyi privately, and Wuyi also asked everyone to rest, wanting to see what this Hailanzhu was going to do.

Wuyi also walked into the big tent according to the local customs, it was very warm inside, and he also saw the most beautiful pearl on the grassland here, Hailanzhu.

Separated for less than a month, but Hailanzhu was haggard a lot, and the orchid that gradually lost its moisture was sitting next to a stout man, Gaha.

"You're here, Dalang." Hai Lanzhu got up and greeted with a smile.

Wu Yi deliberately didn't look at her, and sneered: "Yes, I was almost scared by your enthusiasm." ”

Gaha squinted his eyes, after the Mengyuan Dynasty, the Mongolian nobles all spoke Chinese, heard the meaning of Wuyi, and said disapprerovitically: "Because of the enemy, we use bows and arrows to entertain, friends are fine wine, and you are not a friend." ”

Gaha was very polite, saluted Hai Lanzhu, and walked out of the big tent.

"He unified several tribes, not because of malice, but because it's really hard for us here, and it's even harder this winter." Hai Lanzhu said softly.

Wu Yi knew that this was Hai Lanzhu's opinion, not Gaha's opinion, in his eyes, he was still too weak and not qualified enough, this is what Wu Yi cared about the most.

"I'm here to do business, and since your tribe has a hard winter, I'll bring you food." Wu Yi said it bluntly, this is also the purpose of his coming.

Hai Lanzhu's eyes suddenly brightened, and it was undeniable that her eyes were very beautiful, just like stars, the kind that could speak.

"Okay, but we can't take out too much, sheep absolutely can't, we have very few sheep, we can't eat them ourselves, horses, we can still produce some." Hai Lanzhu said very simply, there was no shortage of sheep in the grassland, but in the previous war, the sheep were used as rations, and now they can not give much bargaining chips, but they urgently need food for the winter.

Wu Yi nodded, and then said, "I want cattle." ”

Hai Lanzhu didn't expect him to choose cows, there are not many cows in the tribe, more for milk production, why did he suddenly mention cows, they don't like horses the most, and the Central Plains also lacks horses the most.

"Okay, ten stones of grain for a cow, you can't be less, don't think about other tribes doing the same." Hai Lanzhu was very resolute at this moment, this was for the sake of the tribe, and she did not hesitate to offer a high price.

Sit on the ground and start from the price! Wu Yi didn't expect this woman to be in business, but this is impossible, looking at this beautiful woman, just like the prairie, people can't help but want to surrender.

The largest restaurant in Taiyuan Mansion is very lively today, and there is a very talkative old guest who goes north, and he is also very generous, and what is even more eye-catching is the news he brought.

"This winter, the Tartars have suffered retribution, especially in the Mongolian steppe, and the heavens have begun to punish them, and the sudden cold winter not only makes the livestock not have enough autumn fat activities, but also many small animals that have just froze to death, and the whole grassland is crying and screaming." Lao Zhao's saliva splashed, his mouth was dry, he grabbed the wine bowl and took a sip of it, so he was not happy.

The rich merchant in silk suddenly shouted hello, the Tartars have been hateful since ancient times, and it is a good thing to be able to see them suffer, which is a good thing for the hearts of the people, and he also arrogantly invited Lao Zhao to sit down, today's wine money is his, let Lao Zhao tell him carefully.

Soon the guests from all sides gathered, and the disaster of the grassland was much better than the storytelling.

"Yes, it's a pity, why isn't it the Jiannu of Liaodong who suffered, that would make people's hearts even more happy." Immediately, some people shouted and scolded, the Tartars plundered Yingzhou and other places, and many people wanted their relatives and friends to suffer, and they hated Jiannu to the core.

"This grassland tartar is also hateful, and there is no less robbery of us, how many Han people have been killed, this time God opened his eyes, come and drink a bowl together." Lao Zhao raised the big bowl in high spirits to greet everyone.

This is the third place he has gone, and he was uncomfortable at first, but now he is almost like a river, although he doesn't know what Wuyi is planning in his heart, but it is really moisturized here, which makes him a little happy.
