Chapter 637: Stammering An'a
@@@@@
Yang Yi and the others walked for a while in the valley of the Yili River, crossed the foothills, and the army rushed towards Atami in the southwest.
This is not far from Broken Leaf City, that is, the Eight Thorns Shagon, and it will take about six days for the army to gallop to Broken Leaf City, and if it is a light horse messenger galloping non-stop, it can be reached in three days.
There are a large number of suitable areas for grazing around Atami, and a large number of black sweat herders are scattered.
For the nomads, the people are the soldiers, so after leaving the Erie Valley, there were obviously more battles.
Yang Yi sent Miao Zhu and Liu Wu to lead 2,500 men and horses, like two hooks, to form two forwards in front of his Chinese army, sweeping all the way to Atami.
Atami (Issyk-Kul Lake), also called Daqing Pond, has a circumference of more than 1,000 miles, east and west, narrow from north to south, negative mountains on all sides, the crowds are intertwined, the color band is blue and black, the waves are vast, the waves are sudden, the arowana is miscellaneous, and the spirits and monsters rise;
Therefore, when traveling here, you have to burn incense and pray for blessings, although there are many aquariums in the lake, do not dare to fish.
Atami gets its name not because the lake is hot, but because it does not freeze in winter, which is extremely rare among mountain lakes, and is called Atami.
After Yang Yi and the others got out of the Erie River Valley, it took another three days to reach the northeast corner of Atami, and from here to the west, there would be three more days at most to reach Shattered Leaf City.
From the beginning of the Yili River Valley, Yang Yi scattered a large number of scouts, and after three days, a series of messages began to feed back non-stop:
The army of the enemy martyrs set out from the city of Paichang, and crossed the Paichang River and the Middle River in the northwest. Go to Little Rock and pass Su Loufeng. Climb over the Bada Ridge and pass through the city of Dunduo. Crossing the upper reaches of the Zhenzhu River, and the northwest lacks post ridges and snow seas, and there are still 100 miles away from the south bank of Atami at present.
On the other hand, Hassan's army of 30,000 men set out from Shule and crossed the Tulu Atidaban (the Tulu Gart exit, an important port between China and Kyrgyzstan in later generations), and then crossed the middle reaches of the Zhenzhu River (Narun River) in the north to quickly return to the aid of Ba Thorn Shagon.
The road taken by Hassan was the most convenient passage from the Western Regions to Central Asia, so Hassan arrived faster than Yang Yi and Diguret;
The three armies pounced on the Eight Thorns Sagon together, and a great drama of the Great War of the Three Kingdoms was about to be staged.
"Your Excellency. Cheng Saburo: They're back. Ma Hanqing hurriedly hit the horse and came over to report.
"Get him here." Yang Yi said happily that although he did not know the result of Cheng Sanlang's contact with Enemy Gulie, Yang Yi believed that it would be difficult for Enemy Gullie and Chi Tie to resist the cooperation conditions he offered.
Sure enough, Cheng Sanlang came to Yang Yi excitedly and reported: "Dashuai, the villain has not dishonored his mission, and he has done it according to Dashuai's orders, and the enemy has agreed to form an alliance with us." ”
He spoke. While taking off his helmet, in front of Yang Yi, there was no need to hide anything, on the contrary. He felt that his "Naman-style" hairstyle was an honor.
Yang Yi smiled lightly: "Not bad, not bad, San Lang." It seems that we are not wrong to blame Trehan, really. Ever since you shaved this 'barbarian hair', you have not been able to do anything wrong. Is there something mysterious about this? ”
Although he was very sure that the enemy spirit would cooperate with him from the beginning, he really got a definite return, and his heart suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and he couldn't help but make a joke;
Ma Hanqing and the others also laughed when they heard it, Cheng Sanlang didn't care, and a big hand 'scratched his head and gestured' on his Naman-style hairstyle, hehe kept laughing.
"Tell me, have all of our conditions been agreed to by Gu Lie?"
"Back to the marshal, the promise is a promise, but the enemy Gulie asked the marshal to marry him first, and after swearing to the sky, he is willing to really cooperate with us." After Cheng Sanlang finished speaking, he glanced at Yang Yi carefully, for fear that he would be angry.
According to Yang Yi's original meaning, after the two sides destroyed Hassan together, they would go to Broken Leaf City to worship again, because this time Yang Yi only had 10,000 horses, which was really not much compared to the vast area to be occupied;
He didn't want to collide with Hassan again to cause unnecessary losses, so he planned to use the enemy's martyrdom to play another conspiracy.
If you want to make a conspiracy, it is not convenient to contact Enemy Gulie in advance, so as not to be discovered by Hassan in advance.
Yang Yi listened to Cheng Sanlang's words, his eyebrows couldn't help but pick slightly, Cheng Sanlang sighed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Dashuai, the villain has done his best, originally the enemy Gulie also wanted to promise to destroy Hassan first and then settle down;
But Chi Tie'er insisted that the marshal show sincerity first, and he had to ask the marshal to marry the enemy Gulie first, and the villain couldn't make him change his mind despite his efforts, so he asked the marshal to punish him. ”
Yang Yi waved his hand, signaling him not to panic, thinking about it carefully, Chi Tie'er was more delicate, and the two sides were enemies before, so it was not surprising that he had such concerns;
In these years, especially the straightforward grassland people especially believe in the oath, and before the oath, it seems that it is difficult to make the enemy martyrs cooperate with confidence.
"Cheng Sanlang, you go one more trip, let the enemy Gulie prepare and prepare, especially let him pay attention not to leak the news, and I will lead the army to go later."
"The villain obeys."
After carefully instructing Cheng Saburo, Yang Yi quickly ordered the army to set off and move south along the east side of Daqing Pond.
It took more than a day to camp on an alpine meadow east of a small city called Ice City on the south bank of Daqing Pond.
At dusk, Yang Yi asked Ma Hanqing to prepare, and said to Li Yizhong: "Yizhong, I warn you, don't play any tricks behind your back, this time we must show sincerity, once your small actions are discovered by the enemy Gulie, it will only backfire." ”
Li Yizhong's expression froze slightly, and he said curtly: "My lord, you only bring a few dozen people to go, in case you can't talk, it will be dangerous, your subordinates are just to prevent just in case, according to me, even if we don't cooperate with the enemy Gulie, we can also destroy Hassan, my lord is the commander of the three armies, why take this risk?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, if you arrange people and horses, hurry up and scatter them back for me, this is a military order."
"The last will obey."
"That's right, this time with the enemy martyrdom, the current battle is only secondary, the key is to think about the pattern of the Great Food area in the future, there are some things you can't imagine how terrible it is."
Li Yizhong asked puzzledly, "My lord, what are you talking about?" ”
"Faith."
"Faith?"
"Not bad. I insist that faith requires piety. But piety doesn't mean fanaticism, no matter what. It's not a good thing to be too fanatical;
The current situation of the Great Eclipse is expected to change the enemy spirits, and the Black Khan can use force to force the people of the Western Regions to change their beliefs, and I believe that the wolf clan from the Mobei Grassland will not be worse than the Black Khan. ”
What Yang Yi said, Li Yizhong and others really found it difficult to understand the seriousness, and felt that it was a very distant thing.
Yang Yi tried every possible way to get the people of the Western Regions to change back to Buddhism, which is understandable;
But the Great Song Dynasty on the other side of the Great Food did not plan to occupy it, so why bother?
It's just that Yang Yijun's order has been issued, and Li Yizhong and others can only obediently follow it.
The Valley of Ghost Songs is located on the edge of the Daqing Pond. Because there are often water monsters in the lake, the people nearby are very awe-inspiring, and this valley near the lake is difficult to see people all year round.
When Yang Yi and Ma Hanqing came to the Wind Valley, they only heard the wind whining in the valley, like a black ghost crying at night, no wonder this valley is called the Valley of Ghosts, it is indeed quite scary.
Taniguchi was greeted by a commander of the enemy martyr's department, touched his chest with one hand, bent down respectfully and said, "Dare to ask if the person who came is Scholar Yang?" ”
Yang Yi replied in a deep voice: "Exactly." What about you Great Khan? ”
"Scholar Bingyang, our Great Khan has been waiting in the valley for a long time, Scholar Yang, please."
Yang Yi knew that they must have arranged a guard post on the periphery, and Ma Hanqing was cautious. There were also a few people left at the valley mouth.
When Yang Yi entered the valley, two fires were lit under a mountain rock, and Cheng Sanlang and a man as strong as a bull stood in the middle of the fire. Seeing Yang Yi coming in, Cheng Sanlang first whispered a few words to the sturdy man. Then we greeted each other together.
"In the enemy Gu Lie, I have seen Scholar Yang."
"The Great Khan is too polite. This time, I came with 12 points of sincerity, hoping that the Great Khan could put aside the past grievances and grievances and treat each other with sincerity. ”
Yang Yi and Di Gu Lie exchanged arms to greet each other, and after getting acquainted with each other, the cheerful Di Gu Lie immediately proposed to hold a ceremony to bow and answer as agreed.
On the Mobei grassland, Anda is a special ritual for people who are not related by blood, who treat each other heart-to-heart and become brothers.
Once you become an answer, it means that each other has to take all the responsibilities for the other, even if they sacrifice their lives without complaint.
The worship ceremony is not complicated, but it must be pious, the two sides kneel down and swear to the heavens, Yang Yi is more than three years older than Di Gu Lie, he is the elder brother, and the enemy Gu Lie is the younger brother;
The vows are followed by the exchange of gifts, often with the things that are most dear to them.
Yang Yi took out a sharp dagger on his calf and said: "I have carried this dagger with me for many years, although it is not very valuable, but it has helped me get out of the crisis many times at critical moments, and now I will give him to the second brother, I hope that after the second brother you take it, you can always keep safe and win." ”
Enemy Gulie happily accepted the dagger, and then gave a half-foot-long golden knife to Yang Yi, and said: "This golden knife was handed down by my father Khan, and it is a token of the leader of my enemy martyr's department. ”
Yang Yi didn't shirk and accepted it happily.
After the worship ceremony, Yang Yi and Di Gulie each held a jar of wine and drank it heartily.
The two chatted for nearly an hour, and before they parted, Yang Yicai said: "Don't be heartbroken tomorrow, I will definitely repay you twice as much in the coming day." ”
Di Gu Lie respectfully clenched his fists and said: "Please rest assured, since you have been married, my brother will immediately go to Di Gu Lie's life, and I will not have half a word of complaint." ”
"Okay, then after tomorrow, it's up to you to answer you."
Di Gulie is a straightforward steppe man, in his opinion, after an answer, you can entrust life and death, in their grassland, it has always been like this.
And Yang Yi's trust in him can't help but be secretly ashamed, he and the enemy Gu Lie have a peaceful answer, and he has a somewhat utilitarian heart.
Perhaps, people really shouldn't have too much thought!.
PS: It rains heavily every day on Hyway's side, it is said that some equipment of the telecommunications company was struck by lightning, and the network at home has not been able to use it in the past few days, so I have to run outside to update it in the heavy rain, although it is very troublesome, but these days Hyway has maintained two shifts a day.
I just hope that all of you who like the illegitimate son of the Great Song Dynasty will have a lot of support, monthly passes, rewards, book reviews, others let Haoyuan's book be too cold, and at the same time, don't let Haoyuan's heart be too cold, Haoyuan kneels and begs for support!.
