(The spring thunder broke the dawn, and the reward shook the mountain, smashing my happiness and dizziness, I am sincerely grateful for the reward of the starry sky, and thank you for the support of Senior Brother Xiao Xuanwu!) ）

"Your name is Li Xian?"

"Your name is Lang Changhong?"

Li Xian's answer to Lang Changhong was a rhetorical question, and the latter frowned.

"You're rude, Han boy."

Although Lang Changhong is not fluent in Chinese, at least he doesn't have any obstacles. Li Xian didn't expect that the Chinese language had been popularized to this point, and the few grassland people he met today seemed to be able to say a few words. He ignored a problem, the reason why many people of the grassland people can speak a few words of Chinese is because the Great Sui basically did not prohibit trade with the grassland people, and the Han people traveled to and from the various tribes of the grassland people and the Central Plains, and the grassland people needed the tea, cloth, and porcelain of the Han people, and the Han people needed skins and livestock.

The merchants of the Han people can speak a few words of the grassland dialect, and the grassland people can naturally speak a few words of Chinese.

Even the Murwei people in the deepest part of the grassland dealt with the Han people, not to mention the Xi people, Khitan people, and Xi people in the Liao River and Xilamulun River basins.

"I'm rude?"

Li Xian looked at Lang Changhong, stretched out his hand and gestured at his height, and then praised him sincerely: "You have almost put two of you on top of me, but when you speak, your hand is still pressing the handle of the knife, is this polite?" ”

He smiled lightly: "No wonder people say that size and guts are inversely proportional." ”

A: Lang Changhong didn't know what inverse ratio was, but he knew that Li Xian was definitely not praising him.

However, he still understood Li Xian's previous words, so his hand slowly left the hilt. It's just that he doesn't think it's a shameful thing, although in his opinion, this young man will definitely not be able to block his punch.

"It's my habit to keep my hand on the hilt of a knife when I see that there may be danger, whether it's a wolf or a dog."

Answer: Lang Changhong said.

Li Xian jumped down from the branch, walked to Lang Changhong with two hands, raised his chin and squinted at Lang Changhong's eyes and said, "What you said makes sense, but our views are slightly different." ”

His eyes were playful, the corners of his mouth hooked an arc, and he looked directly into Lang Changhong's eyes, but his eyes drifted to the clouds: "I never put beasts in my eyes, except when I peel the skin and eat meat, I have never been too lazy to use weapons to deal with beasts." ”

A: Lang Changhong's shoulders moved, and the snow under his feet became a little deeper.

But he still didn't do it after all.

But Li Xian chose to ignore it at all, he actually walked over from Lang Changhong, and gestured at Ou Siqingqing with the boots in his hand: "Do you want to?" ”

Ou Si Qingqing is a girl who is so simple that she is an idiot, so although she smelled the smell of gunpowder between Li Xian and Da Lang Changhong, she didn't pay much attention to it. She is the kind of natural white who will be sad because she stepped on a grasshopper one second, and then be happy the next second, so even if she obviously felt a trace of uneasiness in her heart, she immediately forgot about her troubles after seeing Li Xian's clean and beautiful smiling face.

She loves to laugh and she likes others to laugh at her.

"Yes!"

She took the boots handed over by Li Xian, and leaned down to take off Li Xian's boots.

Li Xian's eyes widened, and then he burst out laughing: "That big man is your big brother Lang?" Most of what he said before was farting, but one was right. You're such an idiot......."

Li Xian pointed to Ou Siqingqing's feet: "You took off your boots for me, what are you wearing?" ”

"Me?"

Ou Siqingqing was stunned for a moment: "I'll wear my own first." ”

Her face flushed, with a little cuteness.

"Keep it as a souvenir."

Li Xian smiled, turned around and walked into the distance: "Actually, I just happened to meet Xiao Ash so I sent it back to you by the way, since your big brother Da Lang is here, I have nothing to worry about." ”

With a quick movement, he pulled a pair of boots from a mocking corpse, cut two pieces of slightly softer felt cloth from the corpse and wrapped them around his feet, and then put the boots on the boat, which was obviously two sizes larger. Feeling the warmth on his feet, Li Xian turned around and shouted to Ou Siqingqing: "Our green mountains will not change the green water for a long time, and there will be a period in the future." ”

Feeling that these words were more chic, Li Xianyi bent down and ran forward.

He had to run up to let the blood flow in his already cold feet, otherwise it would really be Fu Hongxue, and he didn't think it was fun.

The Xi cavalry was a little confused by the smoke in many places in the mountains and forests, but it would not be long before they could find it. If you don't run now, you will really be an idiot, Li Xian doesn't think it's a good thing to fight in the snow. After running out for three or four miles in one go, he met Chao Qiuge with thirty blood horsemen, he briefly explained, and then rode back to the camp with Chao Qiuge and the two.

Knowing that there were Xi cavalry chasing and killing the Khitan He Dahe tribe of the Ai Jin Mo Hui nearby, Daxi Changru and Dongfang Agni rode out with a dozen bloody horses for a circle, and after an hour they captured two Xi cavalry and returned to the camp, and then ordered to strengthen the vigilance.

After the two Xi cavalrymen were separated for interrogation, the information obtained confirmed Li Xian's suspicion.

The reason why the Xi people left their pastures and migrated north is indeed very large, and Sui has nothing to do with it. Three months ago, Ashina, the brother of the Turkic Shibi Khan, led 10,000 Turkic wolf horsemen to suddenly go south, announcing that the Turkic royal court would occupy the pastures of the Xi people. Then another piece of grassland was set aside and belonged to the Xi people, but that grassland belonged to the Khitan He Dahe tribe. The intention of the Turkic royal court to do this is self-evident, and a simple analysis can show its intention to kill two birds with one stone.

Li Xian analyzed

One:

It is no secret that the Great Sui is about to conquer Liaodong, since the beginning of the Chinese New Year, the grain and grass mobilized from the granaries such as Liyang Cang and Xingluo Cang began to be transported to Huaiyuan Town, and Tang Gong Li Yuan was in Huaiyuan Town. Xin Shixiong, the general of Zuotunwei, with the people of the headquarters, has also arrived on the west bank of the Liao River in advance to garrison, and it is said that Li Xian has been in the grassland for a year, and it is now the seventh year of the Great Sui Dynasty, and the Sui army began to cross the river in March of the eighth year of the Great Sui, and there is still a year and a month to go. With such a fanfare preparation, if the Goguryeo people can't react again, they will be purely stupid. The forces of the Great Sui were all concentrated in the western Liaoxi area, and the purpose of the Turks to drive the Xi people away was also obvious. It's nothing more than wanting to take advantage of the chaos and go south.

Second, the momentum of the development of the Xi people over the years has been very strong, and the total strength of the five Xi people can be pieced together at most seventy or eighty thousand people, although this is nothing compared to the strong strength of the Turkic royal court, but Shibi Khan Ashina Jishi will definitely not allow the Xi people to become stronger and stronger. Driving the Xi people to migrate north, the Khitan and the Xia people will not watch their grasslands being divided by the Xi people, as long as they fight, the three sides will be weakened, this is the outcome that Shibi Khan wants to see.

Of course, even if such a conclusion is reached, Li Xian will not say it. After all, a large part of the conclusion he came to came from the knowledge he already had in his head, such as he knew exactly the date of Emperor Yang of Sui's first expedition to Liaodong, and knew that the Sui army crossed the Liao River on March 14, the eighth year of the Great Cause. In later generations, there was a lot of controversy about Emperor Yang of Sui, and almost all forums had posts of controversy, so Li Xian remembered this very well, but if he said it now, he was afraid that he would not be able to explain it clearly.

But what he didn't care about was this, but he was faintly worried about Zhang Zhongjian.

The people of Tiefutu are hiding in Yanshan, not far from the Xi tribe. The Turkic wolves rode south, not knowing if they would threaten the Iron Float.

Probably not.

Li Xian comforted himself.

There are only about sixty people in Tiefutu, and even if they are elite, they will not take the initiative to find the bad luck of 10,000 Turkic wolf riders.

Grandpa is a rotten drunkard, but he is definitely not a fool.

After Daxi Changru asked clearly, he asked the blood rider to pull the two Xi people out and cut them down, and the loneliness on his face was very strong. When he had finished speaking, he stood in a daze under the tall pine tree in the camp.

"Master, what are you worried about?"

Li Xian stood next to Daxi Changru and raised his head and asked.

"It's going to be dark, and the world is going to be chaotic."

Daxi Changru sighed, and said lonely: "This time the Great Sui conquered Liaodong, there was defeat or no victory, and I don't know how many sons will be buried in other places, Your Majesty He called on the sons of good families in the world to join the army in Zhuojun last month, and the date set for the expedition to Liaodong is this time next year, with such fanfare, won't the Goguryeo people take precautions?" The grain sent from the granaries from all over the country to Liaodong is gathered in the three towns of Huaiyuan, and relying on Xin Shixiong to defend the three places alone, is he not afraid of being burned by the Goryeo? ”

"If the Sui army of Goguryeo is defeated...... The world is only afraid of chaos. ”

Li Xian could hear it from Daxi Changru's words, although he had said many times that he was no longer a soldier of the Great Sui, but he actually couldn't let go of the Great Sui in his heart.

"Master....... maybe not as bad as you think."

Li Xian told a lame lie.

"The Master said twelve years ago that the world of the Great Sui will be stable and peaceful for more than ten years at most. Now it seems that ....... was really right by her. ”

"Not necessarily, the Great Sui is invincible in the world, and he has not met an opponent in twenty years."

Li Xian comforted.

Daxi Changru smiled and said, "I know what you mean, I'm just a little sentimental." Since the day I left Honghua, I was actually not a Sui person anymore. You go back and prepare, and I'll take you to Qingniu Lake after Xi Ren leaves. Taking advantage of the war between the Khitan and the Xi people, we must find that piece of meteorite back. ”

"How far is Qingniu Lake from here?"

"Less than three hundred miles."

"Just the two of us?"

"Take Xiao Chao with you, his kung fu is second only to the Iron Fangwolf, but the Iron Fangwolf still has to sit in the camp."

"Master, the Turkic wolf is riding south, and my grandfather is in the Yan Mountain, will it be dangerous?"

Daxi Changru was slightly stunned after hearing Li Xian's question, and then smiled and said: "Don't worry, the Turks in Baidaochuan were scared in the first battle. Even if the Great Sui forces were all in Liaodong, the Turks did not dare to cross the Northern Great Wall easily. Ashina Jishi is not a stupid person, he should know that he can't afford to provoke Da Sui now. ”

He paused and said, "Even if Ashina is a madman, he doesn't dare to really provoke Luo Yi in Youzhou!" Ten thousand wolves rode south, not enough to see. ”

Li Xian spit out a breath of turbidity: "Yes, Youzhou Luo Yi, five thousand fine armor, there is a gap in the Great Wall, and the tiger is unparalleled." ”

Daxi Changru patted Li Xian's shoulder: "The world is going to be chaotic, and we don't have much time." You have to cultivate well, in troubled times, you are a person valued by the mage, and there will be no mistakes, so you have to work hard yourself, and you can't be like Adou who can't help you. ”

Li Xian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Can I not play?" ”

"Play?"

Daxi Changru was stunned for a moment, and said seriously: "The world's great plan, Li Min, how can you say that it is playing?" ”

Li Xian was taken aback by Daxi Changru's solemn appearance, and he said a little overwhelmed: "The point is, why me?" ”

Daxi Changru looked at Li Xian, and suddenly thought that it was a little too cruel to burden such a big burden on such a child who was not yet thirteen years old? The mage's prophecy more than ten years ago had already made him lose too many things. Behind his seemingly grinning and happy heart, how bitter will it be?

Daxi Changru stood beside Li Xian, pointed to the mountains in the distance and said: "Only those who stand on a high place can see the most beautiful scenery, since Zhang Zhongjian escaped from Chang'an City with you on his back twelve years ago, you have begun to climb to the top of the mountain, and now, it depends on whether you climb fast enough." ”

Li Xian didn't answer, because he really didn't know what to say. That hateful and respectable old witch seemed to point him out a bright way, but in fact...... It was a bumpy road paved with thorns.

If you are not careful, you will fall to death, and your body will be incomplete, and your bones will be broken.
