As far as the eye can see, the wildflowers of the vast Alxa grassland are swaying, the turquoise is boundless, and the blue sky is as transparent and clean as washing. A gentle breeze stirs the face, conveying the fragrance of wild grass. The remnants of 5,000 Dahua soldiers ran on the wide grassland, and the speed was extremely fast, and gradually sank into the depths of the weeds.

The Alxa grassland is sparsely populated, and after walking for so long, I have never seen the shadow of the Hu people. After the establishment of the Khanate, the Turks gathered many small tribes together and divided their fiefs according to their numbers, and each fiefdom did not interfere with each other. During the dry grass period and when winter comes, the tribes graze their cattle in their fiefdoms. When the spring flowers bloom and the water and grass are sufficient, the whole tribe will go out to graze, and the majestic momentum is like a flowing cloud on the grassland.

This kind of settlement system is mostly borrowed from Dahua, but according to the situation of the grassland, some improvements have been made, and it can be called semi-settled. Under the guidance of the semi-settled policy, the Alxa steppe gradually formed many Turkic settlements of different sizes, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands.

In order to ensure that all tribes had sufficient pastures, the Turkic settlements were at least hundreds of miles away from each other. It is precisely this distance that gives the Dahua cavalry ample space to move. At present, more than 300,000 of the most elite cavalry of the Turks are surrounding the Helan Mountain Gorge, and the strong men of all tribes have been withdrawn, which also adds a lot of confidence to Lin Wanrong's lone army to go deep into the grassland.

The topographic map of the Alxa grassland that Xu Zhiqing gave before leaving is very simple, but the route is extremely clear, which has helped this lone army a lot, and with the help of the experienced Hu Bugui, these 5,000 people will not at least not get lost on the grassland.

After the capture of Bayanhot, the army had already replenished its supplies for six or seven days. Even if they can't find a grain of grain and grass after going deep into the grassland, they can support a seven-day undefeated.

Rao is like this, Lin Wanrong is still not at ease, he rode his horse back and forth to check it back, and saw that every warrior's Turkic horse was full of dried meat and dry food, so he nodded with satisfaction.

"Brother Lin, good news, good news." Chief Gao shouted all the way, and rushed from the back of the team with Hu Bugui.

"What's the good news?" Lin Wanrong smiled and watched the two come to him, and jumped down from his horse: "Could it be that Xu Junshi defeated 300,000 Turks?!" ”

It had been seven or eight days since they had lost contact with Xu Zhiqing. At present, it is a lone army going deep into the grassland, contrary to the Helan Mountain Canyon, and has gone farther and farther. They didn't know what was going on at the foot of Helan Mountain.

Chief Gao shook his head and said, "Brother, aren't you joking?" I'm tall and I'm not a god. How could there be news of Miss Xu? I'm talking about the 20,000 Turks, who, as you might expect, are tempting us. The 20,000 Hu people traveled less than 100 miles and had no gain, so they turned directly to the east and chased towards Wuyuan. ”

Lin Wanrong sighed, and there was no surprise in her heart. The 20,000 Turks found out. It's bound to turn around and meet them. It's only a matter of time. Na Yujia was honest and didn't tell lies. But with this girl's wisdom and wisdom, it is more terrifying than 100,000 Turks.

"Speaking of Xu Junshi. I remembered something. Chief Gao whispered: "We temporarily changed our plan, not to return to Wuyuan, but to continue to advance westward into the prairie, should we let Xu Junshi know about this?" She can also coordinate with us with an army, and maybe we can do more with less. "Boiling-Teng-Members' hands

"It makes sense." Lin Wanrong glanced at him in surprise and said with a smile: "Brother Gao, you are becoming more and more proficient in the art of war now, and you are about to catch up with my junior brother." Admire, admire. ”

Hu Bugui listened to the two of them on the side, and shook his head solemnly: "Brother Gao, if you want to inform Xu Junshi, how can it be so easy to say." 300,000 Hu people are on the front line of Wuyuan, even a fly can't fly in, how to notify her?! ”

Chief Gao snorted and nodded with a serious expression. Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "It's not so difficult to inform Miss Xu. Maybe right now, those Hu people are promoting me for free. ”

Free publicity? Lao Hu and Lao Gao were stunned at the same time, but Hu Bugui said: "General Lin, what free publicity?" How did we not know?! ”

"Alas, just for this matter, I also bear a lot of infamy, which is quite wronged." Lin Wanrong sighed and said mysteriously: "Two big brothers, do you know my Turkic name?!" ”

General Lin's Turkic name? Lao Gao hurriedly nodded**: "I know, I know, the three cutting clan - Wo Lao attack, I have heard the little girl of the crescent moon call several times." Tsk, what a good name this is, at first glance, you can tell that it is specially taken advantage of. Brother Lin, I will obey you! ”

Lao Gao gave a thumbs up and shook his thumbs, admiring endlessly. Hu Bugui reacted slowly, and said puzzledly: "Brother Gao, what kind of advantage method is this name, you tell me." ”

"You don't even know that? The third brother is--my husband! Husband, to put it in layman's terms, that is the meaning of husband and husband. This name is for the little girl of the crescent moon, do you understand? Chief Gao triumphantly gave Hu Bugui a lesson.

Hu Bugui suddenly realized, and immediately laughed, full of admiration for General Lin's methods.

Lao Gao, this! Lin Wanrong shook her head and sighed: "The same name, in the eyes of different people, the connotation is completely different, what you see is a true reflection of your inner thoughts." Alas, why is the gap between people so big? ”

"What, what do you mean? Isn't that how you pronounce your Turkic name, Brother Lin? Chief Gao stammered.

"Of course not." Lin Wanrong snorted: "When others look at my name, they think that I am a sperm worm, shameless and obscene, and unscrupulous to tease the little girl." In fact, for me, those who misguessed the meaning of my name and blamed me were the real sperm brains. Brother Hu, you are more upright in thinking, you read my Turkic name backwards and see what it is?! ”

Hu Bugui sighed, thought about it carefully, and said carefully: "Attack the old nest - cut three!" Isn't that what you read, General Lin?! ”

"Not bad! The reverse is true. Attacking the nest is the elder brother - attacking the old nest is the elder brother!! Lin Wanrong snorted: "This is the only correct pronunciation of my name, and it is also the secret I want to tell Miss Xu." Big Brother Gao. Look, what are you thinking? Sperm worms are in the brain! ”

That's what it means! Lao Gao was drenched in cold sweat, no wonder Brother Lin was indignant, it was obviously a very noble and connotative name, but it was misread by so many people, it seems that I misunderstood him before, ashamed, ashamed.

"I see." Hu Bugui clapped his hands and said: "General Lin, as the head of our army entering the grassland, captured Yujia, and this name is bound to spread all over the grassland desert." With Miss Xu's ingenuity. As soon as she heard General Lin's Turkic name, she understood our intentions. Checkmate. You have been wronged, and the last general has never admired you like this. ”

General Lin shook his head. A deep sigh full of sorrow: "Others laugh at me for being too crazy, I laugh at others and can't see through it; I don't see the tomb of Wuling Haojie, and there are no flowers and no wine hoes to make fields. -- People like me are destined to be lonely all their lives. Alas, get used to it, get used to it. ”

I really didn't expect that General Lin turned out to be such a profound person. Lao Hu shook his head with a sigh. It seems that in the future, we can't just look at his stinky skin with a flowery appearance, but also see more of his lonely inner world.

Lao Gao said embarrassedly. Zhengse said: "Brother Lin, I have decided." I must look up to you and be a debauched man on the outside, but noble on the inside. I'm already showing signs of this. ”

You're on the outside, but you're even more on the inside! Listening to Lao Gao's false confession, he even smiled disdainfully.

Lin Wanrong laughed and said: "Two big brothers, I say unceremoniously, the meaning of my name is the top secret of our army. Now that you know this secret, you should know where we will end up in the grassland, right? ”

"You know, old nest—" The high chief smiled and agreed casually, and after a while, his face changed: "Old nest?!" Brother Lin, you, are you going straight to the royal court of the Turks?! ”

Lin Wanrong nodded and smiled: "Otherwise, can it be called top secret?!" What, Brother Gao, are you scared?! ”

Lao Gao pouted and said disdainfully: "I'm afraid of a ball." That day, I joked in the camp in circles, and if you don't squeak, Brother Lin, I know that this matter is not over. Sure enough, we went around in a big circle, and we finally had to go to the Hu people's nest. Haha, happy, happy, follow you, Brother Lin, and do all the things that my boss has never experienced in his life. ”

Lin Wanrong nodded slightly, and said to Hu Bugui: "Brother Hu, what about you, do you want to go?!" ”

Originally, I thought that entering the grassland was to fight and annihilate a few Hu tribes, which was already a great achievement, but I didn't expect that General Lin had such a majestic plan hidden in his heart, Hu Bugui's blood was already boiling with excitement, and he said: "Go!" If I don't go, I'm a squatting pee! ”

Chief Gao was puzzled: "Old Hu, your oath is also interesting-what is it that squats and pees?" ”

Lin Wanrong looked at him deeply, nodded and said, "Brother Gao, you have really become pure, I am very pleased!" ”

Leave aside the old Gao who has become pure. Since he told the two of them about this plan, Lin Wanrong no longer concealed it, took the map sketched by Xu Zhiqing, and explained the long-conceived plan and discernment: "Brother Hu, look. Judging from the map of Xu Junshi, our current location should be the southwesternmost part of the Alxa grassland. Boiling-Teng-member hand fight while the Turkic king Tingkizil, at the northern end of the steppe. If we go all the way north along the steppe, we can naturally reach Kizil. But there are countless Hu tribes in between, and even if we defeat all the Turkic tribes, by the time we reach Kizil, it will be months later. At that time, what awaits us in the Hu royal court is 100,000 Turkic iron cavalry, and there is no need to fight that battle. ”

Hu Bugui looked at the map carefully, nodded and said, "What the general said is extremely right. If we go all the way north, we will not only expose our purpose, but also seek our own death, which is not enough. If you want to attack Kizil, you must take a path that the Hu people cannot detect, just like the surprise attack on Bayanhot. ”

Lin Wanrong moved her finger forward, pointed to a place on the map, and said with a smile: "This place, called Yiwu, I have heard that there is a magical Silk Road, which can run through the desert snow mountains, pass through Yiwu and Nantai, cross the Ulungu River, and reach the Altai Mountains. Over the Altai Mountains, the front is Kobdo with spicy nose grass, and through Kobdo, it is the Turkic king Tingkizil. ”

The road pointed out by Lin Wanrong, starting from Yiwu, has gone out of the Alxa grassland, after a small arc, crossed the Altai Mountains, and then re-entered the grassland, facing the Kobdo and Wangting Kizil where the Hu people's Zhibao spicy nose grass is located.

Hu Bugui was pleasantly surprised: "General, is there really such a road?" If this is true, as long as we reach Iwu, we will be able to bypass the Turkic blockade. ”

"There should be." Lin Wanrong laughed: "But maybe, maybe we have this path after we have experienced it." ”

Hu Bugui doesn't care about these, and the surprise attack on Bayanhot has proved Lin Wanrong's ability to choose the road. Since General Lin said that he could reach the Hu people's court, he would definitely be able to.

Gao Chieftain listened to the two of them talking, carefully checked the map, nodded and said, "Since Brother Lin said that it is possible, then it will definitely be possible." However, the most important thing is that for now, how do we get to Igo? In between, there are several Turkic tribes! ”

Xu Zhiqing's map, this section is very vaguely marked, only indicating a few Turkic tribes, but not the location of the tribes.

"It's very simple, just hit it!" Lin Wanrong said lightly: "This road to Yiwu, we must rely on our own strength to get through. We not only have to use the blood of the Hu people to send a message to Miss Xu. More importantly, we can only get provisions by fighting. ”

"However, we don't even know the location of these tribes!" Hu Bugui wondered.

"You don't know, but someone does!" Lin Wanrong smiled mysteriously: "You forgot? There are dozens of people in the crescent moon. What did I work so hard to take them for? This is the best guide! ”
