After a ten-day march, the vast steppe stretched as far as the eye could see, and the direction could not be discerned like the sea, and the experienced Mongols were as if they had a compass in their heads, and they grasped the direction very accurately.

The grassland is not just a seemingly pleasing green grass and white clouds, in fact, the grassland is by no means as beautiful as Qin Kan imagined.

It's October, and the winter is getting colder, and the grass has long since turned into dead grass, and in some places it is bare, which is the traces of being eaten by the cattle and sheep of the nomadic tribe, and every winter, the herdsmen's faces gradually lose their luster.

Without grass, the grassland can not support too many cattle and sheep, can only be slaughtered in batches, and it is not only the cattle and sheep that are hungry, when the cattle and sheep are no longer fat, it means that the herdsmen's life is not good, a tribe can not rely on this limited beef and sheep to survive the winter, so the cattle and sheep are decreasing at the same time, many Mongolian tribes have to starve to death.

Therefore, the Mongolian tribes in the steppe are the group that most directly and thoroughly implements the law of survival of the fittest in nature, and the serious lack of food and living resources makes them have to learn to be cruel. The only one piece of food, the old should be given to the young, and the old should be given to the young, which is by no means respecting the old and loving the young, but the individual's contribution to the tribe and the family determines the food quota.

In addition to being forced to slaughter cattle and sheep, the Mongols attacked the border town of Daming after winter, which was also their annual move, and when the most basic food needs could not be satisfied, they had to use their swords to loot.

It is understandable, but not forgivable, because Qin Kan is Han.

Although Duoyan formed an alliance with the Ming court, the two armies were combined into one, and they currently had a common enemy, Qin Kan had a deep defense against Duoyan in his heart. If it is not my race, its heart will be different, and it is still not too sincere to be a man, and it is simply stupid to keep a little bit of what should be retained, and it is simply stupid to talk to foreigners about gentlemanly manners......

In the big tent, Qin Kan crossed his legs, and even held a Jingdezhen official kiln tea cup in his hand, the tea cup was steaming with a trace of heat, and the dragon well before the rain was churning in the boiling water, and the tea fragrance in the tent was overflowing.

Before leaving, Du Yan prepared him well. From the toilet night pot, autumn clothes and winter jackets, to all kinds of dim sum cakes of Jingshi, and a product that Qin Kan is used to in his life, he has put together a whole carriage. Therefore, in this vast grassland, Qin Kan was able to drink the Longjing before the rain in Hangzhou, which was really a great happiness.

"The battle with Li Gao is imminent, remember to hurt people's lives, after all, the crime lies with Li Gao, the soldiers of the border army below are innocent, and strive to take down the border army without blood...... Qin Kan instructed slowly while sipping tea.

Ding Shun said respectfully: "Qin Shuai, once the big war starts. I'm afraid it's hard to be bloodless......"

Qin Kan sighed and said, "It's really difficult, so we have to fight to completely defeat Li Gao before the big battle, and by the way, we also have to closely monitor the movements of the Duoyan Department, I can thank them for helping me." But if I want to take advantage of the fire, I won't be polite to them, and I swear that I will let out a fart at the same time as Huadang......"

"Qin Shuai, what should I do if Duo Yan really can't hold it at that time?"

Qin Kan said without hesitation: "Arrange for two people to put the knife on Tana's neck." Hua Dang didn't obey the order and chopped his daughter. ”

Ding Shun was stunned and said, "Qin Shuai, you are really ruthless to this woman......"

Qin Kan sighed: "This woman has a history of chasing and killing her husband, it's best to chop her up in advance, otherwise I will really be forced to give it to me by her father, will I survive this winter?" ”

"Qin Shuai is far-sighted!"

"Is there any news from Li Gao?"

"The spies who scattered out of the river have come back one after another, Li Gao has raised 30,000 troops to cross the Xilamulun River, marching westward, it is expected that we will collide head-on in three days, yesterday our scouts have found the scouts of the Liaodong Army in front, the two sides fought for a while, half of the casualties, and the other ......"

"What else?"

Ding Shun hesitated for a moment, and said: "The spies scattered in Liaoyang City have also returned, but they didn't inquire about anything valuable, Li Gao has been running Liaodong for more than ten years, which can be described as deep-rooted, and its power has spread all over Liaodong, it is said that Li Gao was originally a native of Yulin, Shaanxi, in order to strive for generations to run Liaodong, he even moved the ancestral tomb of his old Li family to Liaodong, and chose a prosperous place with excellent feng shui, gathering wind and hiding qi, and buried it, and did forty-nine days of rituals, this person made up his mind to be the emperor of Liaodong......"

Qin Kan's heart moved, but he sighed in his mouth: "This unfilial son, even the ancestors were tossed by him to the point of restlessness......

Ding Shun said with a smile: "It is estimated that Li Gao's clan is quite serious, and he has a little filial piety to his ancestors, otherwise he would not have moved his ancestors' graves so solemnly." ”

The corners of Qin Kan's mouth hooked, and he said coldly: "Do you know where his ancestor is buried?" ”

***************************************************************

Three days later, the armies of Qin Kan and Li Gao finally and inevitably encountered each other by the Liao River.

Intrigue and intrigue cannot solve all the dangers in the world, and some things cannot be avoided, and they must be encountered head-on with a knife and a gun.

There was no declaration of war and no cursing, and the fierce engagement of the scouts on both sides opened the curtain of this war.

After the four teams of scouts returned to their camps with scars and reports, the armies of both sides quickly set up positions on the Liaohe Plain, followed by a tentative rain of arrows fired at each other, and the most rearly of them each set up their own positions, facing each other five miles apart.

The battle clouds over the Liao River were thick, the air was mixed with a suffocating thick killing intent, the cold wind blew up the yellow dust in the sky, and the cold light of the enemy's swords and soldiers faintly flashed in the haze.

The herald rode a horse in front of the battle and waved the command flag and roared as much as he could, conveying the generals' military orders, and the sky was also quickly gloomy on the murderous plain, and the wind seemed to have a ghostly whimper in the empty plain, whirring on the empty plain, still adding a little depression.

Xiangyun Array, murderous He Changhong!

…………

Qin Kan sat in the middle of the Chinese army's formation, looking at the solid camp of the Liaodong army five miles away, and couldn't help but feel a little emotion in his heart.

There is no good bad guy in the world, the reason why a bad guy can cause trouble in all directions, after all, he has his ability, just looking at the lineup and military discipline of the Liaodong army, we know that Li Gao is really a rare general, the border army is worthy of being a border army, looking at their spirit, compared with the officers and soldiers of the Beijing division who eat Taiping grain.

It's a pity that Li Gao, a general, has embarked on the evil road, and no matter how talented the general is, he will not be allowed to embark on the evil road.

"My lord, Li Gao on the other side has already set up a position, and it seems that he intends to resist to the end." Ye Jinquan hugged his fists and said coolly.

"It's going to rain, people are looking for death, no one can ......" Qin Kan sighed, but he couldn't make up his mind.

The military order is easy to order, but after the order to attack is given, the situation in front of him is no longer under his control, except for the life and death of Duoyan, which is not the life or death of 10,000 people, there are 8,000 Han officers and soldiers on his side, and there are 30,000 border troops of the Ming Dynasty on the opposite side, is this fratricidal war really inevitable?

Sitting on a handsome chair made of tiger skin, Qin Kan wrung his eyebrows deeply, and his mind was spinning rapidly.

The battle was imminent, and his side had a good chance of winning, but he just didn't want to give the order for this attack.

Once the war starts, all that will be lost is the strength of the Ming Dynasty's border defense, and this seemingly prosperous but weak country cannot afford to lose these elites.

"Send someone over to pass a word to Li Gao, saying that the official promised that as long as he surrenders, he will be spared death, and everyone will settle this matter in a friendly manner, so as not to damage the vitality of our border army." Qin Kan hesitated again and again and gave this order.

A sergeant holding a scepter in high rode alone towards Li Gao's army.

After half a pillar of incense, a bloody human head was thrown out of the Chinese army's array.

Li Gao's desperate action finally aroused Qin Kan's anger.

"Attack!"

As soon as the command flag in the herald's hand fell, a fiery red figure rode out of the herald first.

Qin Kan stared at it in amazement, but saw that the red was as dazzling as a flame, jumping and churning in the army of ten thousand horses.

Today, Tana did not carry a whip in her hand, but a long, narrow, long knife like a Tang Dynasty Mo knife emitted a snowy light under the gray sky.

People are like rainbows, horses are like dragons, and the world full of bloody smell has a touch of beautiful scenery that is incompatible with the battlefield.

Behind her, thousands of Yan cavalry screamed and brandished scimitars, clinging to her wings, and the formation was like a sharp awl, stabbing fiercely into the heart of the Liaodong army.

The Duoyan cavalry is worthy of being the elite of the world, and even the women of Duoyan are so good.

In the rapid charge, the front of the Liaodong Army shot a rain of arrows, and the warriors of the Duoyan Department seemed to have been professionally trained, and they hid their bodies under the belly of the horse, and a round of arrow rain shot through, and the two armies were close at hand.

Tana shouted violently, the long knife in her hand slashed like a streamer, and a human head rose into the sky, and at this time, the warriors of Duoyan also rushed into the military formation at the right time.

…………

…………

Qin Kan sat in the middle army array, dumbfounded and watched Tana's crisp knife fighting, and his heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

This woman...... is more than Du Yan, Du Yan's personal martial arts are strong, but Tana has the courage of ten thousand people......

What kind of people are the women I have met so far!

The front of the Liao army suddenly showed a sign of defeat under the impact of the Duoyan cavalry, and Qin Kan couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw dozens of Liaodong soldiers screaming and dying under the swords of the Duoyan cavalry.

"Ding Shun, order the Duoyan cavalry to withdraw! Fast! The soldiers who killed our Ming Dynasty are also addicted to killing......"

The low horn whimpered, and the Duoyan cavalry charging ahead froze for a moment, but still showed excellent obedience, and turned their horses' heads and ran back quickly.

Hua Dang rode a horse from the front army to the Chinese army, and when he saw Qin Kan, he proudly pointed to Tana, who was unwilling to retreat in the distance, and smiled: "Lord Qin, my daughter is good, right?" You can capture the flag when you get off the horse, and you can serve you thoughtfully, and you will definitely not lose if you marry her. ”

Qin Kan grinned and said with a dry smile: "It's really good, Ling Qianjin definitely has the strength to cut her husband." (To be continued.) )
