"Strange!"

Seeing from a distance that three armor soldiers were leading horses under the leadership of Pu Lin, Qiu Niang, who came out after Qingyang, couldn't help but wonder, "Since it was sent by Doctor Cheng from Beilin City, how can the clothes and armor be so shabby?" ”

"Could it be a fraud?" Qingyang subconsciously clenched the ebony hilt on his waist, and several people walked vigorously, obviously cultivating to a powerful person. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Don't be surprised, lord!" Qiu Niangping held the longbow and said in a calm tone, "The concubine is here, and there will be no big mess!" Jidan didn't have the ability to command these armor soldiers, they came on horseback and led the horses on foot, unlike people with bad intentions, I just wonder that these people seem to be from the northern frontier. ”

Seeing that the head of the Qing family came forward to greet him, and the horses were led away by Pulin, the first soldier smiled and said: "In Xiazi Che Yanxi, it is the Sima of the Beilin City Guard, who was entrusted by Zhong Kai to deliver the letter, and I have to congratulate the sergeant on his repeated beheadings!" ”

The nearly thirty-year-old military Sima clenched his fists with a smile on his face, and Qingyang noticed that there were many scabbed wounds on his face and hands, and the leather armor on his body was covered with dense scratches.

"Thank you for coming from afar! Come on in! ”

Qingyang glanced at the three of them with some surprise, and then took a wide animal skin letter, after all, the silk letter is too valuable, the bamboo slips are heavy and inconvenient to carry for long distances, and only the animal skin after nitrate can be used by Zhong Bo to write a letter.

"What is the car going on? Could your father be the son of Che's father-in-law? Qiu Niang put down the longbow in her hand in surprise, "I wonder if Brother Gongfu is in good health?" ”

"I'm tired of Qiu Niang's thoughts," Ziche Yanxi said again, "My father was able to survive thanks to the treatment of your family master, although the weather has become cold recently, cough is indispensable, but every day I am strong to move around, corn porridge and minced meat have been eaten, and my body is still healthy!" ”

"Back then, Brother Gongfu was also to rescue the robe, and he led more than ten people to dare to hit hundreds of strings of Yu Jing Cavalry, although he was seriously injured, it was admirable, and his health was also a little comforting to me!"

Qiu Niang sighed, and asked in a changed voice, "When Sima Ziche Jun came back from Northern Xinjiang, could it be that he was attacked by Xianyu cavalry when he was escorting grain baggage?" ”

Ziche sighed: "I led a hundred of my subordinates with a total of 20 baggage to the north last month, I don't want to be ambushed by more than 300 cavalry just after arriving in the northern Xinjiang. ”

Now Qingyang finally understood why these three people were so enthusiastic, there was Qiu Niang who warmly entertained a few people, Qingyang gently opened the animal skin and looked carefully, this was the first time he came into contact with the news from Zhong Bo.

As a letter paper, the animal skin can't tell what material it is, the tanning is thin and light, and the written words are not good-looking, but it reveals a sense of Jin Ge killing, and it can be seen that Zhong Bo must be a tough guy.

According to Zhong Bo's letters, Zhong Bo led four soldiers and eight servants of the Qing clan to follow the private army of Ye Dafu's department.

In a small battle a month ago, fifteen heads of Xianyu soldiers were killed, but not a single soldier was damaged, and both Doctor Ye and Huo Yun Yaqing were rewarded.

However, Zhong Bo mentioned in his letter that the determination of Xianyu's army to enter the army this time was much greater than in previous years, and almost every day tribal cavalry from further north joined the battlefield.

Although up to now, the most elite cavalry of the Xianyu tribe has not yet entered the south, but the 30,000 or 40,000 cavalry sent by various tribes plus their reinforcements are continuous, so the morale is very high.

On the other hand, on the side of Xingguo, only the soldiers under the command of the doctors and soldiers sent by the doctors and soldiers of the northern Xinjiang cities formed only 20,000 coalition troops, and the morale was relatively low in comparison, which had already allowed the Yaqing Huo Yun, who was in charge of the battle, to be in a hurry.

According to Zhong Bo's estimate, the war in northern Xinjiang will continue, and he will be able to rush back at least before the spring ploughing in March and April next year.

For Zhong Bo and the twelve soldiers who fought for his family, Qingyang didn't have much affection for these people who hadn't seen them, but looking at Zhong Bo's description between the lines, as well as the worries that the three of them next to him were talking to Qiu Niang, he saw that the battle situation in Northern Xinjiang was hidden danger.

Just a few days before Ziche Yan led his troops back to Beilin City, Yun Shuyu, one of the four great ministers, suddenly appeared on the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang, replacing Yaqing Huo Yuan, who was originally presiding over the battle, and launched a big counterattack.

Qingyang attaches great importance to this, in the past ten years, the person who presided over the war in northern Xinjiang was generally only Yaqing, and this is the first time in more than ten years that Xing Guo has a Shangqing appeared on the battlefield in northern Xinjiang.

Yun Shuyu Shangqing went to northern Xinjiang to preside over the coalition army, which also meant that the war in northern Xinjiang further escalated.

In addition, Qingyang also noticed a very important point.

If Yun Shuyu was just commanding the battle, but in this counterattack, the dignified secretary of the great power actually took the lead, led a hundred guards to charge forward, saved the crisis many times, and finally led the Xing army to victory.

The secretary of a large country, whose status is comparable to that of the king of a small country, even personally charged and fought.

Tsk, Wufu, the dry city of the country!

It sounds good, but before the critical moment, who will risk death to kill the battlefield?

This can only show that the war in northern Xinjiang is difficult, far more than Zhong Bo said, and Yun Shuyu went north to take over the battle situation and assault the Xianyu army, which shows that the pressure on Xing Guo is greater than in previous years.

Qingyang couldn't help frowning, in the three hundred years since Xingguo set its capital in Xingtai City, there were seven monarchs who died in the border with the Northern Wilderness, nearly half of them.

There are hundreds of other Qing doctors who died in battle, and there are countless people who died in the battlefield of the scholar class, all of which shows that Xing is a martial country.

In order to gain a foothold and develop in this martial country, first of all, it is necessary to cultivate strong personal force as soon as possible.

However, this was not enough, he also had to work hard to increase the overall strength of the Qing Clan's fiefdom, both economically and by force.

At present, the dragon sparrow, as a high-end force to protect the sealed land, cannot be used easily, and Zhong Bo and the dozen or so servants will not be able to return for a while.

From this point of view, in a short period of time, we can only strengthen the cultivation of Lian Po's group of teenagers as much as possible, and equip them with better bone swords and leather armor, which can be regarded as a preliminary improvement of the reserve military system.

As for the seemingly inconspicuous things such as water mills, bone sickles, and ox nose rings invented for the autumn harvest, they can greatly promote the progress of fiefdom farming technology, and finally lay a certain economic foundation.

In fact, all countries in the Northern Wilderness have always been short of food, iron, agricultural tools, and salt, and any one of them can solve the plight of the Qing family.

But grain cultivation takes a long time cycle, don't even think about iron, salt pours money quickly, but unfortunately with the strength of the Qing clan can not be taken out at all.

In this way, only the idea of farming tools was made, and the bones of the pile of buffaloes in the northern wilderness that the dragon sparrow in the mountains and forests ate were finally of great use.

Moreover, the giant bone sickle was originally intended to be dedicated to the monarch, and if it was intentionally spread by its own family, it would be more beneficial to protect itself if it had a good reputation.

After analysis, Qingyang found that the biggest shortcoming of the Qing clan at present was that his lord's strength was too poor, and the time left for Qingyang was only one and a half years.

This made Qingyang further strengthen his belief in cultivation, practice, even if it is hard and tired, you must practice!

"Bang-" The sound of a fist hitting the wooden board brought Qingyang back to his senses.

Ziche slammed his fist on the table, and said angrily: "I didn't expect the Ji clan to act so recklessly, stir up trouble, dig up the cold stream and flood the salt without authorization, and dare to assassinate the lord, when I return to Beilin City, I will definitely report to Doctor Cheng that this matter is known!" ”

"Ziche Sima's matter, after all, the person who committed the assassination is no longer there, and my Qing clan only hopes that the public payment will not be delayed after the Autumn Moon Festival!"

Qiu Niang sighed and said, "After all, just supplying grain and grass in Northern Xinjiang has already become a doctor, and I dare to distract him from trivial things!" ”

Qingyang couldn't help but give a thumbs up from the depths, high, this is the master! At least the Qing clan is on top of the righteousness.
