Before dawn the next day, Liu Ziqiu ordered the troops to be assembled. After all, this time it was not 20,000 cavalry who carried out a surprise attack, but a great migration of tens of thousands. In addition to the 20,000 nomadic cavalry originally led by Liu Ziqiu, there were also 53,000 women and children in the Lifa camp, as well as a large number of cattle, sheep and horses. Another 14,000 men taller than wheels, young and old, had been slaughtered outside the camp. The dozens of guards beside Mu Duoli were saved by Liu Ziqiu's special explanation, otherwise they would have been in a different place.

Liu Ziqiu rode his horse to the front of the team, and Mu Duoli snuggled in his arms and rode with him. Last night was crazy again, Mu Duoli finally fell asleep directly in Liu Ziqiu's arms, and almost couldn't get up this morning. No matter how high her riding skills are, Liu Ziqiu is not at ease to let her ride alone. Of course, Mu Duoli also enjoyed the feeling of lying in Liu Ziqiu's arms.

The surviving women and children in the Lifa camp were relieved to see that Mu Duoli was very favored by Liu Ziqiu. Mu Duoli is the hostess of the entire camp, and as long as Mu Duoli has a certain place in the heart of this new owner, she will definitely find ways to ensure their safety.

Liu Ziqiu saw that the team was almost assembled, pointed at the west with a horsewhip, and said loudly: "Let's go!" ”

Wen Hao hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Lord, it's wrong!" It should be going south. ”

Liu Ziqiu shook his head and said, "That's right! Let's not go back, but through the Zabhan River, over the Golden Mountain, through the Western Turks into Dunhuang! ”

Jiao Liyan was shocked: "My lord, through the Western Turks, when they see so many women, children, cattle and sheep, will they suddenly have evil intentions?" ”

Liu Ziqiu sneered: "Liu just wants to let them see, if they dare to go against Liu, Tong Lifa will be their end!" ”

At this time last year, the Tiele Xue Tuoyan Department under the jurisdiction of the Western Turks had invaded the border of the Great Sui, Feng Xiaoci failed to attack, but returned defeated, if he hadn't taken the path of Yuwenshu, he would have been sent to prison by Yang Guang a long time ago. Whether it is the Western Turks or the Eastern Turks, no matter which tribe, when it comes to the winter chūn season, they will always think of coming to the Great Sui border to attack and disturb. Liu Ziqiu wanted to show the results of his battle to the Western Turks.

What is the strength of the tribe of Qi Lifa, the Western Turks must know. Being able to destroy such a powerful tribe, Liu Ziqiu's strength can be seen. Although the Western Turks were strong, they were not as strong as the Eastern Turks. In the face of the menacing Liu Ziqiu, if they want to cut off the beard halfway, they must weigh whether they have the ability. On the contrary, Liu Ziqiu wanted to show off the results of the battle in front of them, so that these bandit-like Western Turks would die and continue to invade the borders of the Great Sui. Because the collapse of the Lifa tribe was due to their invasion of the Great Sui border. Now the head of the West Dao of the Great Sui River is no longer the incompetent Feng Xiaoci, but has been replaced by the ruthless and resolute Liu Ziqiu. If they continue to invade the Great Sui border, they will definitely suffer tenfold retaliation.

Wen Hao agreed with Liu Ziqiu's proposition very much, raised the saber in his hand, and said with a smile: "Whoever is not long-eyed dares to come to rob, just call him a knife and two sections!" ”

Since having a sharp saber, Wen Hao has abandoned his usual long lance.

The team left the camp, leaving a mess in their wake. Nomadic tribes grew up on horseback, and even their homes were actually carried on horseback. When the camp was evacuated, all the tents were dismantled, but the materials used to build the tents were not discarded, but loaded on horseback and ox carts, and herds of cattle and sheep were driven along the procession. All that was actually discarded in the camp were gnawed bones, but the grass had been bare from the tents, and it looked like a mess.

To the west of the camp was the place where men taller than the wheels had been executed last night. Originally, it was expected that the procession would march south, so Kakuri Yan chose the west side as the execution ground, so that when they left, the rest of the women and children would not see such a bloody scene. But Liu Ziqiu temporarily decided to march west, and bloody scenes inevitably appeared in front of everyone. After the men were executed, their bodies were separated, and their heads were piled up on hills.

Witnessing the tragic death of their loved ones, many women and children began to sobb quietly, and an atmosphere of sadness spread through the ranks.

Liu Ziqiu frowned and said, "Jiao Liyan, why don't you bury these corpses?" ”

Kakuri said nonchalantly: "This is the rule of the grassland, it has always been like this. Please rest assured, after a while, they will calm down. ”

Liu Ziqiu shook his head and didn't say anything more. He was not worried that these women and children would launch a **, these women and children were unarmed, and they could not be the opponent of the 20,000 jīng sharp cavalry anyway. But when he saw the piles of human heads, especially many of them were still childish children, he couldn't bear it.

However, this is also something that cannot be helped. Most of the children of these nomadic tribes are precocious and use weapons such as bows and arrows and scimitars from an early age. Children taller than the wheels have begun to remember, with deep hostility towards the enemies who occupy their tribes. If you don't kill these people, no one can guarantee that you won't have your throat cut in your sleep in the middle of the night. Deal with the men who are taller than the wheels, either drive them away and let them wander in the steppe, or you can only kill them. Without cattle, sheep and horses, wandering in the steppe is tantamount to suicide. Of course, they may also defect to other tribes and eventually become their own enemies in the future. Therefore, it is more convenient to kill them.

Liu Ziqiu is also very aware of this situation, even if he wants to change it, at least at present, he does not have the ability.

Sure enough, after this part of the road, the crying gradually became quieter, until it was no longer heard. After walking more than ten miles, laughter gradually began to be heard in the procession, and then young soldiers and girls began to sing loudly. The singing on the grassland is enthusiastic and unrestrained, which makes people's blood boil.

Mu Duoli leaned on Liu Ziqiu's chest and said softly: "Master, I'll sing you a song too, okay?" ”

Liu Ziqiu smiled and said, "Of course you can, in fact, I also want to sing loudly." ”

"Oh, and the lord can sing too?" Mu Duoli is a Turkic nobleman, and she has also been in contact with some Great Sui officials, in her impression, the Han high-ranking officials are all clear-eyed, and few people will sing and dance in front of people, and she couldn't help but be surprised, "Can the master sing to me?" ”

Liu Ziqiu laughed and said: "If you don't sing well, don't laugh at me." ”

"Dreaming of the bright moonlight is like losing your eyes and falling into a deserted city, kissing the strong fragrance of flowers, like losing your soul and being lonely. I can't hear the sound of horses' hooves, the world is silent and I can't see the return journey, if I don't wake me up, I have to wait for the end of the world in the next life. I want to ride a horse galloping into your arms, solve the mystery of missing a thousand years of dreams, through the vast sea of clouds and blue sky, the horse qin sounded and the heart melted instantly, I want to ride a horse to gallop into the endless sky, roll down the wind and rain all the way up the rainbow, drift in your heart happiness is still the same, a wisp of breeze in the past and present life to meet......"

A song plagiarized from the legend of the phoenix "Riding a Horse Galloping" echoed over the team, Liu Ziqiu was full of anger, and the ballad that should have been sung by a female voice was also performed with pride. Most of the people in the team still can't understand Chinese, but the beautiful melody is extremely similar to the song on the grassland, as if bringing everyone into the abyss of the vast universe, accompanied by the aura of all things in heaven and earth, magnificent, heroic and unrestrained, flowing clouds and water, and like a sea of clouds around the peak, the waterfall that rushes down, is magnificent.

For a long time, Turkic women looked down on Han Chinese, believing that Han Chinese were timid and cowardly, and not real men. Mu Duoli is the same, before she was possessed by Liu Ziqiu yesterday, she also looked down on Han men, and the reason why she took the initiative to commit herself to Liu Ziqiu was just to keep her own pair of children. Of course, Liu Ziqiu's bravery still conquered her, which greatly changed her opinion of Han men. Now, hearing that Liu Ziqiu can actually sing rough ballads that belong to the grassland, she is completely intoxicated.

Liu Ziqiu was unwilling to give up this great opportunity to boost morale, and shouted with a whip: "Come!" Let's sing out loud and forget about sorrow, forget about sorrow! ”

……

Just when Liu Ziqiu led the team towards the Zabhan River in the west, Xiao Dapeng also arrived at the prosperous Luoyang City.

In early winter, some rivers in the north have begun to freeze, and the water level has dropped sharply, but this is not difficult for Xiao Dapeng. As the big shopkeeper of the Changshan Carriage and Horse Company, the power that can be mobilized along the canal can not be underestimated, breaking the ice and pulling fibers, hundreds of people are busy around this big ship every day, all just to ensure that Xiao Dapeng can arrive in Luoyang in the shortest possible time.

He didn't see the person who sent the message to Xiao Dapeng, but the other party gave a promise that he could guarantee his glory and wealth for the rest of his life. Yes, as the big shopkeeper of Changshan Carriage and Horse Company, Xiao Dapeng already has a lot of power and has seen a lot of the world. But the more this happens, the more his mind becomes off-road. There are many rich and noble families who rent a long mountain cart and horse-riding boat, and the luxurious life of those people who spend money and have beautiful wives and concubines makes Xiao Dapeng's eyes hot, and he dreams of living a life of a superior person. Although it was a bit risky to come to Luoyang this time, Xiao Dapeng relied on himself to practice martial arts, and selected more than 20 good players from the 13th Taibao team, but he was not very afraid.

As soon as Xiao Dapeng walked into the branch of Changshan Carriage and Horse Shop in the eastern suburbs of Luoyang, he saw two people coming over, and said, "Shopkeeper Xiao, please wait with me to see someone?" ”

Looking at the impatient faces of these two people, it is obvious that they have been waiting for a long time in the Changshan Carriage Ride.

Xiao Dapeng waved his hand and said, "Xiao's store is absolutely safe, why don't you let that person come here to meet?" ”

One of them sneered: "The owner of the shopkeeper Xiao who invited him to Luoyang has a noble status, how can he come here to meet him casually!" ”

Xiao Dapeng laughed and said, "Isn't Xiao's life worthless?" ”

The other person glanced at him and said, "Shopkeeper Xiao just goes, and he is willing to stay in the store as a hostage!" ”
