Min Min's face immediately became serious, and he nodded and said, "What the husband said is that I was negligent!" What she meant in her previous sentence was that although Abunai was a great khan, he was actually a child raised by herself and Liu Cheng, and Liu Cheng was too serious under the carriage; And Liu Cheng means that it is precisely because Abnai has a very close relationship with himself and Minmin that his husband and wife should pay more attention to etiquette. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe position of the Great Khan is like a statue, he and Min Min are the craftsmen who make the statue, if his husband and wife don't take the Great Khan of Abneh seriously, then others will naturally not take it seriously. Then Liu Cheng, a Han Chinese, Min Min, and an Oirat, in what name did they lead the Mongolian tribes?

"Minmin, it's good that you understand!" Liu Cheng drank two sips of mare's milk, turned his eyes in the carriage, and asked, "Minmin, where is our child?" ”

"The children are still young, and the weather is cold along the way, so I left them in Naturalization City!" Min Min took the toy bow from Abnay's hand aside, took a candy stick from the side and stuffed it into the child's hand, and Abnai happily stuffed the candy stick into his mouth and sucked it.

"It's good!" Liu Cheng suppressed the disappointment in his heart, his pair of twins had not yet been weaned, so he stayed in Guihua City to follow his mother Minmin, even since he was born, Liu Cheng had not seen it a few times, and this time he couldn't help but be a little disappointed in his heart. Min Min saw Liu Cheng's thoughts, put the child aside, walked to Liu Cheng and sat down, leaned on her husband's shoulder and whispered: "When the children are one year old, I will send them to Datong, where the weather will be warmer and the conditions will be better!" ”

"No need!" Liu Cheng glanced at his wife gratefully: "It's better for the child to follow his mother, if this battle is won, the Mongolian left wing will be owned by me, and I will go back and forth between Datong and Guihua City." ”

"It's good!" A happy smile appeared on Min Min's face, she stretched out her hand and stroked the beard under Liu Cheng's chin, and suddenly smiled: "You Han people have a saying: 'A loving mother is a loser! 'If you leave your children with me, won't you make me useless waste with both of them?' ”

"Don't be afraid!" Liu Cheng said with a smile: "Five years at most, three years at least, I will be able to pacify the Dongyu, and then I will take all of you and the three of you to my side, and personally teach those two rabbit cubs to ride and shoot and read!" ”

"Your Excellency!" Hao Shaoqi's voice came from outside the car wall: "The scout who went to the east is back!" ”

"Got news?" Liu Cheng heard anxiety in his subordinates' voices, and he gently patted his wife's hand and jumped out of the carriage. Seeing a knight wearing a fur hat standing next to Hao Shaoqi, Liu Cheng waved his hand, signaled the guards to step back, and asked in a low voice, "What's the situation?" ”

"Your Excellency!" The knight knelt down and kowtowed: "There are thousands of people in the valley to the north, and it is only thirty miles away from here. ”

Liu Cheng nodded, and ordered Hao Shaoqi: "You immediately convene the generals to meet!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

"Also, reward him with fifty silver coins, let him go down to eat and rest, and prepare to lead the way!" After Liu Cheng finished his generation, he returned to the carriage and said to Min Min: "The enemy is found in the north, you take Abnai to rest first, and I will gather the generals to discuss!" Without waiting for Min Min to answer, he hugged his wife, turned around and jumped out of the carriage. Min Min sighed and said softly to Abnai, who was still sucking on a candy stick, "Abunai, your father-in-law is going to crusade against the left-wing traitors, shall we pray to the Bodhisattva for him?" ”

Abunai was still a two- or three-year-old child, and he could not understand any left-wing and rebels, but he still nodded, so Min Min carried him to the Maha Kala Golden Buddha, lit two incense sticks, and bowed down and prayed devoutly.

In the big tent, the Zuo staff were divided into two compartments and sat down, Liu Cheng sat in the middle, and Hao Shaoqi stood with a knife behind him. Although the braziers at the four corners were filled with charcoal, it was difficult to drive away the cold air that seeped into the outside, and everyone could hear the sound of the north wind whistling outside the tent, and the temperature was dropping rapidly. Liu Cheng coughed lowly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the detective cavalry has just reported that there are thousands of people in the northern valley to avoid winter, what should I do?" ”

"Strike first, strike later, naturally you should send troops overnight to catch him off guard!" The first to speak was Du Guoying, his uncle stayed in Chaoyi to guard, and his official position was the highest among the generals under Liu Cheng, so he was the first to speak.

"What Master Du said is right!" Gesang also responded: "We are only dozens of miles away from the captives, and there are many things that the herdsmen must have in this Ninghaizi, our army is here, if it is not cold, I am afraid that it has been discovered by the captives, so it is better to send troops as soon as possible!" ”

The others also agreed, this is the people suddenly heard the top of the tent squirming, as if there were a lot of small things falling on it, everyone opened the tent and looked at it, and they were all stunned, only to see goose feathers and heavy snow, overwhelmingly falling. In the blink of an eye, the yellow-brown reeds in the distance turned a silvery white. Liu Cheng walked out of the tent and reached out to touch the railing on the side, but after a while, there was already a little finger-thick snow on it.

"It's snowing!" Liu Cheng sighed.

"yes, it's snowy!" It was Ergil who was at the interface, he was entrusted by Batur Khan this time to lead two thousand cavalry to aid Liu Cheng, and he saw that his eyes were full of excitement: "Lord Jinong, don't you think this is a good time to attack?" ”

"I'm afraid the horses can't bear such a heavy snow, right?" Liu Cheng looked at the heavy snow outside: "And I'm afraid I can't recognize the road clearly!" ”

"It doesn't matter! You can cover the horses with cowhides, there is no danger in this area, even if it is snowy, you don't have to worry about the road, now the snow is pervasive, the line of sight is not more than a hundred steps, the captives will not beware, it is a good opportunity given to us by the immortal sky, it is better to select a thousand people to dare to die, attack the enemy camp at night, and it will be able to break with a drum! ”

"Yes, that's exactly what I wanted!" Du Guoying bowed his head and said: "I don't want to coincide with General Erji!" ”

"Hmm!" Liu Cheng's gaze swept over the generals, and everyone had a look of eagerness on their faces, and finally Liu Cheng's gaze stayed on Erji's face: "General Erji, this time I will ask you to lead the troops to break the thief!" ”

"Yes, Lord Jinong!"

"Come on, get the wine!" Liu Cheng took the wine bag from the hands of his own soldiers and poured a full wine glass for Erji: "This glass of wine is for the general's heroic journey, and each person will be given a wool horse and two silver coins before departure, and there will be another heavy reward after the triumph!" ”

"Thank you, sir!"

Under the generous reward, Erji and the soldiers were greatly boosted and set off overnight in the heavy snow. The soldiers drove their horses through the snow that submerged their calves, and the falling snowflakes hit people's faces, causing pain. The soldiers had to cover their faces with cloth and leather, revealing only one pair of eyes. However, after going out for a few miles, the centaurs were already white from head to toe, and they could not distinguish their eyebrows and mustaches. More than 1,000 people and horses walked forward, but they could not hear the sound of people and horses, and could only hear snowflakes falling along the north wind, covering everything in the snow.

At the time of the fourth watch, Erji finally came to the hillside under the guidance of the guide, although there was only moonlight, but in the white vast field of vision, you can clearly see the valley under the mountain, the tents and cattle and sheep of the captives are still very conspicuous, and it is even clearer, seeing these, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he did not get lost, otherwise this trip would have run in vain. He hurriedly called the guide over and asked, "Where is the way down?" ”

The guide shook his head: "General, the only entrance to this valley is to the north, but the captives have already guarded it with fences and stone barriers, and there is no other way into the valley!" ”

Erji jumped off his horse, carefully leaned out and looked at the hillside, and then looked at the direction of the wind, only to see that the hillside was covered with thick snow, revealing dots of black rocks, and thought to himself: "This hillside should not be too steep, otherwise how can there be both rocks protruding and so much snow piling up?" Thinking of this, he asked his subordinates to bring some of the horses over, picked a brown mare, and asked them to take away the saddle, brands, stirrups, and other harnesses on the mare, and then drove the mare down the hillside, and the mare could not turn back, but walked carefully along the layers of rocks towards the valley, and in a short time reached the bottom of the valley.

Erji was overjoyed when he saw this, he turned to his subordinates and said: "Rank, life and death have their own destiny, between my generation of warriors and the battle array, in the midst of ten thousand deaths, all I do is rich and rewarding." Now the enemy is under the valley, and there is only this steep slope with us. Horses can go down, and so can we. Are you willing to go down with me to kill the captives and make meritorious deeds, or are you willing to stay on the hillside and be dealt with by military law? ”

Everyone nodded again and again, and said in unison: "I am willing to go down to the valley with the general to kill the captives!" ”

So they put cowskins on the horses' hooves, and tied them with twine, so that they would not slide on the rocks, and then they took off all the excess weapons and armor, leaving only the leather coats, bow bags, and hulu, and untied the machetes from their waists, and tied them behind the saddles. After cleaning up, Fang Cai went down the valley one by one along the route of Fang Cai's mare. The moonlight reflected on the snow, and a person could see it very clearly on the steep slope. Erji didn't feel it on the mountain, but when he came down, the man and the horse were in mid-air, and with every jump of the horse's hooves between the rocks, the heart seemed to fall from a thousand feet of height and fall into the abyss. He subconsciously looked down, suddenly dizzy, cold sweat burst out, hurriedly closed his eyes, did not dare to look again, chanted the Buddha's name in his heart, and prayed to the Bodhisattva to protect him to reach the bottom of the valley safely.

Because of the slow pace of the descent, the first to reach the bottom of the valley hid quietly behind the rocks, and the horses were also covered with burrows so as not to neighing to attract the attention of the captives in the camp. By the time of the fifth watch, almost half of the people had reached the bottom of the valley, crowded in the small space behind the rocks, densely packed. People are both hoping and fearing, hoping to rush to the past to receive meritorious rewards, and what they are afraid of is that if the captives find out first, the hundreds of horsemen who are besieging them will not even have a place to move, only waiting for death, many people muttered in a low voice: "Kill it quickly, it's almost dawn!" ”

Erji looked at the sky, and a piece of fish belly white had appeared, he gritted his teeth, jumped on the war horse, and shouted: "Kill the past, don't let go of the captive!" ”

The crowd erupted in cheers, the people in front jumped on their horses, rushed to the enemy's camp, and the people behind also rushed up, only to see that there was a shout of killing immediately in the valley, and although the people on the mountain and the hillside heard the shouting and knew that there had been a fight below, they had no choice but to carefully go down the hillside, and when they reached the bottom of the valley, they hurriedly jumped on their horses and rushed to the camp of the captives, lest they fall behind and fail to grab the battle merits

The battle ended quickly, but it was only half a meal, and the fighting subsided, and most of the captives were still asleep, completely unexpectedly from the sky. According to the custom of war on the steppe, young men and women who were able to resist were beheaded, leaving only women, the old and weak, and children no more than the height of a wheel. A fierce warrior presented more than a dozen bloody heads in front of Erji, bowed down and said: "General, these are the leaders and his brothers, the entourage, when I went in, they had just woken up from their dreams, and before they even had time to put on their shoes, they were cut down by me one by one!" ”

"Well, well done, worthy of the eagle of our Junggers!" Erji smiled: "Half of the chief's property belongs to a few of you!" Wives and daughters belong to you, too! In addition, after returning to the teacher, Master Jinong will reward you again! ”

"Thank you, General! Thank you, Lord Jinong! "The warrior was overjoyed, although this tribe is not big, it also has a population of two or three thousand, more than 20,000 livestock, and it is just winter, it is the time when the livestock are the fattest, and the clan leader of this size has at least three or four thousand large and small livestock, and he will be rich for this alone, not to mention Liu Cheng's reward behind.

"You go and get the chief's family, and I'll ask what tribe they belong to?"

"Yes, General!" The warrior retreated, and in a moment grabbed a barefoot woman by the hair and threw her to the ground. Erji saw this woman with chestnut curly hair, green eyes, a high nose and deep eyes, fair skin like mare's milk, only sixteen or seventeen years old, born delicate and incoherent, and said with a smile: "It turns out that it is from the Asut Department, who is this woman the leader?" ”

The warrior smiled and said, "It's the chief's daughter, she hasn't married yet, she should still be a virgin, if you like it, general, you can take it and give you fun at your leisure!" ”

Erji smiled: "I want this woman, but it's not for myself, it's for Lord Jinong!" I won't take yours for nothing, but when you go back, you can pick three good horses in my stable, and only be worth this woman's worth!" ”

"To Jinong-sama?" The warrior was stunned when he heard this: "But didn't Lord Jinong marry the daughter of our Great Khan as his wife?" Why did you give him a woman? (To be continued.) )
