The spring flowers are blooming, everything is recovering, and the soldiers' bodies are stretched, and they no longer have to curl up like a snail. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Ran Min took advantage of this short moment at the beginning of the year to organize the cavalry to start large-scale training, and the suburbs of Changzi City were obviously not suitable as a long-term training ground for the cavalry, so after careful selection, a suitable place was selected near Sheep's Head Mountain in Guyuan County as a training ground for cavalry.

Deng Qiang's joining, immediately got Ran Min's appreciation, the work was much easier, and the cavalry training was also on the fast track, and the six thousand cavalry under the leadership of the two of them suddenly separated and merged into one like a brown torrent, which was magnificent, galloping between the hillsides and grasslands.

In the distance, but seeing a team of cavalry like a tiger descending the mountain, rushing down the hillside, when the army marched halfway up the mountain, the two teams of cavalry separated, the leaders were Deng Qiang, Ran Min two, suddenly Ran Min shouted, the two teams of cavalry have bent their bows and arrows, swish, arrow feathers in the air across a beautiful parabola, aggressive, suddenly the middle ground instantly became a hedgehog.

In just a few months, it was impossible for the cavalry to ride on the back of a bumpy horse to bend the bow and arrows, and the arrows were hearted, so they took the simplest projectile method, like the Great Qin Ruishi, and the arrows thrown in the sky could easily tear the fragile armor of the soldiers under the action of gravitational acceleration.

In the distance is the lively training ground of the cavalry, and in the near distance is Zhang Yuan taking the opportunity of patrolling the cavalry training to take Fan Lihua, Li Dingguo, and Zhou Cang to the spring.

Followed by a team of cavalry, named Yulin Army, taken from the talented Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing came from this army. The Yulin Army was founded in the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (104 BC), and the soldiers were all selected from the children of the Liangjia in the six counties in the northwest. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was afraid that the power of the lieutenant was too heavy, and he placed the feather forest and the gate in Guangluxun, and then the momentum of the two armies in the north and south began to be "the name of the Yulin Army" as the country's wings, such as the prosperity of the forest.

Li Dingguo resigned as the chief general of the cavalry, and Zhang Yuan did not let Li Dingguo succeed him as deputy general due to a variety of factors, but referred to the Yulin Army when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty created a Yulin Army that has always belonged to Zhang Yuan.

A total of 200 people in the Yulin Army were selected from the most elite soldiers in the cavalry, at that time, Li Dingguo was ordered to select the Yulin Army, and the selection was all good seedlings, most of them were even grassroots backbone captains, captains, etc., almost paralyzed the newly formed cavalry, and the faces of the main and deputy generals were green, Ran Min was not good to say much because of the face, and Deng Qiang, who was a bull temper, jumped out and fought with Li Dingguo, Li Dingguo took advantage of the horse to stabilize Deng Qiang with a force value higher than Deng Qiang, and then reluctantly formed the Yulin Army. The Yulin Army has the best horses and armor in the whole army, and can be called the elite of the cavalry.

Li Dingguo's purpose is to build the Yulin Army into a trump card in the cavalry, a fighter in the trump card, poured a lot of effort into Li Dingguo, even if the former compatriots galloped in the field, the soldiers of the Yulin Army did not squint, clenched the long knife in their hands, and remained motionless.

Zhang Yuan's side Fan Lihua rode a jujube red horse with the army, wearing wind armor, carrying a spear, and wearing a phoenix feather bead crown drawn by Zhang Yuan on his head.

Zhang Yuan couldn't help but touch his little hands, patted his plumpness, and occasionally rubbed the wonders, only to shame the female general to be beautiful.

Taiyuan boundary rest, the boundary mountain belongs to the remaining veins of Taihang Mountain, Taihang Mountain extends to the party slightly gentle, when it reaches the Taiyuan realm, it suddenly stands up, steep and precipitous, the forest is dense, the flowing water is murmuring, the Fen River passes from the foot of the mountain, the water flow is abundant and turbulent.

The spring sun was shining, and suddenly there was an earth-shattering sound in the distance, and the birds that landed on the branches of the trees were scrambling, chirping, fluttering their wings and jumping up.

A large group of cavalry galloped to the sky, the momentum of black pressure shook the sky, gradually approaching, the leader of the horse held the reins of the horse in his hand, the war horse neighed with its hooves raised, stood upright, and the cavalry of the brigade behind him stopped at the moment, showing superb riding skills.

When the cavalry behind him gradually quieted down, Liu Bao raised his whip and pointed to the distance and asked, "Where is this?"

The commander of a thousand men behind him hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "Little Lord, this place is Taiyuan Boundary Mountain", and pointed with his finger as he spoke, "Ahead is the Boundary Rest Pass."

Since Feng Ji came, Yu Fuluo let Liu Bao take full responsibility for the capture of Taiyuan, this time unlike the front of the few times just looted Taiyuan, but to take Taiyuan in full, so after more than ten days of precise planning, Liu Bao decided to raise 20,000 cavalry to raid Taiyuan, Liu Bao led 5,000 cavalry as the vanguard, Hu Chuquan led 15,000 follow.

The desolate and steep mountain wind blew Liu Bao's unkempt beard, looking into the distance and smiling slightly, "Departure Boundary Rest"!

The commander behind him was puzzled, and stepped forward and said, "Little prince, isn't this move a scare for the snake?"

Liu Bao smiled and said solemnly, "No need to say much, just go."

Jiexiu Pass, is the most convenient road to enter Taiyuan in the east of the river, on the left is the towering Yangtou Mountain, on the right is the rippling blue waves of Zhaoyuze and the Fen River surrounding, all the way the water system is developed, the mud swamp is everywhere. Therefore, the boundary Xiuguan is the key place of Taiyuan Hedong, there is a great tendency to have a husband when the pass is not open, and because the boundary is located in Taiyuan, Taiyuan has a natural geographical advantage to Hedong.

Before leaving, Liu Bao had discussed the path to enter Taiyuan, first, it was the most convenient to pass through the Jiexiu Pass, but Yu Fuluo had plundered Taiyuan many times, presumably Taiyuan had already stationed a large army in the Jiexiu Pass to defend it to the death. Second, when he joined the party, he went straight to Taiyuan, and then the party soldiers were full of food, and Zhang Yuan was not an easy person. Third, it is to bypass the boundary and enter Taiyuan, and to escape to Xihe County in the west, there is a sheep intestine warehouse down, and the road is very far away.

In the end, Liu Bao decided to enter from the realm, so breaking through the realm is the top priority.

Taiyuan was plundered by the Huns in Hedong several times, and Wang Hui, the county guard of Taiyuan, was also quite a headache, and finally made great efforts to build Xiongguan in Jiexiu, and appointed a heavy army to garrison Jiexiu to block the invasion of the Xiongnu. Although the Xiongnu sometimes plundered from the north to Xihe County, it was not so convenient after all.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves woke up the Taiyuan soldiers on duty at Jiexiu Pass, "Quick, there is a large group of Hun cavalry", the soldiers exclaimed, the Huns in Hedong have been raging all year round, and they have already left a deep imprint in the hearts of the soldiers, which are scars of hatred!

A military general heard the message of the guards and strode to the front of the pass, holding the waist knife in one hand, holding the wall buttress with the other, looking around, the dust was flying in the distance, a cavalry was hidden in it, and it was a Hun who looked closely.

With the speed of the cavalry, they came to the city pass in a blink of an eye, and the fast-moving dust and smoke drifted away after the cavalry stopped the formation, drowning the boundary rest pass in it.

The cavalry brigade stopped the formation, covered the forehead with one hand for the leader, carefully looked at the boundary rest pass, and said something to a person next to him, and then beat the horse to the place in front of the pass, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Listen to the people above, my little prince said, hurry up and surrender, otherwise the day of breaking the pass will be the day of your head."

"Phew, shameless things, there is a master, don't want to step across the boundary and rest half a step", every time the Huns loot, Taiyuan must be a deep hell, the family is ruined, the wife is scattered, the blood flows like a river, it is unbearable to see, the captain who guards the pass hates to eat his flesh and drink his blood, and directly scolds.

"I don't know whether to live or die, stubborn guy, wait and listen, the day you break the pass, you will know what it means to have no bones"! The Hun knights said a little bit in a menacing manner, and returned to their own camp after beating their horses.

"Bah, the realm of Xiuxiong Pass, how can you wait for a barbarian to break through"! The lieutenant scolded, turned his head sideways and ordered his own soldiers, "Quickly go to Jinyang to report the attack of Liu Bao, the little king of the Huns."

"Ruo", the pro-soldiers left in response.

The Hun knight turned over and dismounted and came to Liu Bao, landing on one knee, "Qi Yu little prince, it's really hateful to close the guards, disobey the king, and refuse to surrender."

Liu Bao waved his hand, "It's okay, let them jump happily for a few days first", and then said in a loud voice, "Retreat ten miles, choose a place to camp, and wait for the follow-up troops."

The commander of the thousand was very puzzled, "What does the little prince mean by this, why not attack now that the morale is in the hole?"

Liu Bao looked at the Xiongguan in front of him, full of pride, "I am a good son of the Huns, I should be an eagle that crisscrosses the world, how can I be buried in such a useless place"!

"What does the little prince mean by this?"

Liu Bao chuckled, "There is no need to doubt, this king has his own clever plan."

And the state generation, today's Loess Plateau, can be in the Eastern Han Dynasty here the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the vegetation is luxuriant, the Hexi Corridor is also lush, is the Northern Xiongnu horse breeding rear, sandstorm is still in the mother's womb that Nezha is noisy, has not yet been born, so the Loess Plateau is still a legend.

The wind and rain are smooth, the dense vegetation of Yangtou Mountain, conserves a large amount of water sources, forms a huge lake at the foot of the mountain along the slope of the stream, Zhaoyuze, the Fen River runs through, the surrounding scenery is beautiful, the mountain road is rugged, it is very beautiful.

The two carriages walked slowly on the long mountain road, followed by more than a dozen family guards, the carriage in front was calm and simple, the curtains were also dark fabrics, and the carriages followed closely in different styles, brand new birch pears, carved railings, light green curtains, crisp bells, out of thin air made the carriage a little more elegant, ethereal.

The mountain road bends, and suddenly a pair of elegant little hands open the corner of the curtain, revealing a woman's face, but seeing the wind and showing her sideburns, lightly sweeping her eyebrows and eyes with spring, the skin is delicate and soft as warm jade, and the cherry mouth is not red and delicate, and the two strands of hair on the cheeks are gently blowing with the wind to add a bit of seductive style, and the eyes that rotate flexibly turn wisely, a little naughty, a little naughty, a light green top, so beautiful that it is so flawless, so beautiful that it does not eat the fireworks of the world.

Twisting his eyebrows slightly, he seemed to be ashamed, and gently opened his lips, "Father, the mountains and rivers here are so beautiful, why don't you burn incense and boil water and play a song?"

Hearing the voice of the girl in the back, the carriage in front slowly stopped, and the old man with a crown slowly stepped out of the carriage with the support of the waiter, looking at the scenery in front of him while walking, "Daughter's eyes are good, and the mountains and rivers here are good, and it is a good place to play the qin."

The carriage in the rear also stopped, and a woman came out, only to see that the girl was about sixteen or seventeen beautiful, with flowers and branches, a long pale green skirt, beautiful long hair, a slender body, and a charming waist, although she had not yet reached a mature age, but the light red lips and the flushed face exuded the vitality of youth, like a budding bud, full of vitality, flowers and moons, white skin and muscles, and ice and jade.

The woman took the lyre in the hand of the maid, hugged it, as if distressed, very careful, moved to the old man with broken steps, bowed slightly, her face flushed with a flush, and the charming posture came out with a melodious and ethereal sound of the piano, elegant and quiet and beautiful artistic conception, mixed with the quiet sunshine echoing in the silent wilderness, like wind, rain, flowers, illusions, fog, rainbows, and dreams. The melody is tactful and smooth, like the mountains and rivers between the waterfalls, and the geese and sand fall on the desert; It is also like a fresh spring and white snow, and the three alleys of plum blossoms with bitter cold and fragrant fragrance are refreshing and full of feelings. Only snowflakes are flowers and not flowers, which are praised by the world, drifting with the wind every year, and quietly disappearing between heaven and earth. The eyes are crystal clear and full of fragrance, and the jade has become a unique style of ice and jade, which makes people feel like they are soul-destroying even if they look at it. All the pen and ink here can hardly describe her fairy beauty; It can really be said: this woman's song should have been in the sky, but I don't know who fell into the world.

There is a pot of tea boiling in front of the old man, with a faint green smoke, rising in a curling manner, disappearing into the sky like a cloud, the old man slightly closed his eyes and listened carefully, as if he could not extricate himself from it in silence, and was content.

Taiyuan, Jinyang, Taishoufu

"Report", the messenger dragged a long tone and rushed to Wang Hui of the Taishou Mansion.

Taishou Wang Hui put down the important things in his hand and sighed slightly, what should come will always come, "Read".

"There is a Hun king Liu Bao led the army to be stationed outside the Jiexiu Pass, and the menacing does not know its meaning, so please be too determined"!

Well, not Zhang Yuan of the Shangdang? Wang Hui was puzzled, last year on the party Zhang Yuan suddenly appeared, just in case, Wang Hui sent troops in Yangyi, Jicheng stationed 3,000 people, expected so early, Ji Ji Huang attacked only Zhang Yuan, a hearing is not Zhang Yuan Wang Hui heart is a little relaxed, the Huns are just for money, Zhang Yuan is for the foundation to come, which is more important Wang Hui is clear in his heart.

Didn't the Xiongnu wait until the autumn harvest to invade, why did they come to invade just after winter this winter, Wang Hui frowned, couldn't figure it out for a while, and asked, "Can you find out the meaning of the Xiongnu's trip."

"Yu Taishou, the Hun cavalry hesitated in front of the pass, retreated ten miles and set up a village, I don't know why."

"Ten miles back"? Wang Hui's eyebrows were sunken, thinking and meditating, he really didn't know why the Huns came, looting was not like looting, what was the purpose of stationing in front of the pass, he slowly got up, put his hands behind his back, and walked back and forth.

Just as Wang Hui was thinking hard, a voice came, and then a handsome young man came in, "Why is my father thinking here, isn't it clear that he went to the realm to rest?"

Seeing the young man Wang Hui frowning, and hearing the young man's words, his brows gradually expanded, "Xu'er's words are very good"!

The young man bowed down, "The child is willing to go to the realm for his father to find out."

Wang Hui touched the short beard under the chin, Xu Er was alert, but he didn't know the warmth and coldness of the world, he didn't check the human feelings in the world, and he was not grounded in the popular way, and he lived in the temple and swept the end of the place, and undoubtedly laughed off his big teeth.

Having made up his mind, Wang Hui said solemnly, "It's okay to go, but you are only allowed to inquire about the news, and you can't be arrogant", Wang Hui also knows what kind of energy his son has, he is still smart, if he is a knife soldier, it is equivalent to playing the piano to a cow.

The father was able to readily agree, Wang Xu was overjoyed in his heart, and bowed down again, "But please rest assured, the child only knows intelligence and does not know military affairs."

Wang Hui was relieved, "Then I am much more relieved to be a father."

Wang Xu resigned from his father, impatient, quickly took out the armor spear that had been treasured for many years, and led a team of personal soldiers to go straight to the boundary rest, Jinyang to the boundary rest is only a hundred and ten miles away, and it can be reached by a quick march in one day.

I have been familiar with poetry since childhood, keen and studious, never forget, export into chapters, graceful, the world knows the name of my Wang Xu, named the name of a prodigy, why father, on the occasion of the crown year, the father gradually does not pretend, often with a strong color to tell each other, completely no kind heart, father and son love. Value, Zhang Yuan's son in the party, won by luck, but his father often talked about it, praising it, this unicorn! I am not convinced, on this great opportunity, I swear to compare with Zhang Yuan! ,
