In the vast grassland, a camel caravan slowly walked slowly, starting from the low hills that sloped in a diagonal direction, and further west, was the territory of the Tukhi people.

The wind blew very strongly, the wind swept the snowflakes all over the sky, the hardy Bactrian camel walked unhurriedly, the travelers on the camel were bent down, with a thick scarf to wrap the head and face tightly, only revealing a pair of squinted eyes, Rao is so, the pervasive wind carries the snow foam, or pierces the body like a needle.

The temperature here is at least ten degrees lower than that of the Han land in the same winter, Yang Fan is wrapped tightly, and he can't wait to find another condom to put himself up completely, and after suffering in this wind and snow for more than an hour, he began to understand that people in the cold areas of Weishenme are generally addicted to alcohol, and he now wants to pour a few sips of wine to keep out the cold.

The desperate wind and snow were overwhelming, Yang Fan thought it would blow for three days and three nights, but suddenly the wind stopped, as soon as the wind stopped, the entire snowfield immediately calmed down, and the sky soon turned into pure blue, and such a pure blue could not be seen anywhere else.

Immediately afterwards, white clouds began to appear, with a jade-like texture, like freshly picked cotton in the sun, and the dazzling white flowers. Between heaven and earth, the camel caravan is like an abstract stroke in a huge portrait, just a stroke, placed in an inconspicuous corner, it seems so insignificant in this vast and vast world.

The people in the group untied their snowy and frosty towels and let in the fresh air, and the pace of the camels suddenly quickened a lot.

The scout who led the way suddenly said, "Captain Yang, there is a shepherd over there. ”

When Yang Fan heard the reputation, he saw that there was a snow mound that seemed to be a little strange, and after looking carefully, he found that it was actually a felt tent, Yang Fan commanded in a low voice: "Don't disturb them, and don't make any fuss." Remember. We are Khitans now. ”

The scout agreed, and drove the camel under his crotch forward.

The caravan continued to move forward, and after turning an angle, Yang Fan saw the door of the shepherd's house. The door was opened, and the snow was already more than half a man's height, and the master was crawling out of the opening, trying to clear the snow from the top of the tent and around it, and when he saw the guests on this long journey, he put his hand on the canopy and looked at them, and then he called out to them.

Yang Fan only knew simple Turkic language. Unable to understand what he was saying, he asked the scout, "What is he shouting?" ”

The scout said, "He said that he would ask the guests who had come from afar to help him clear the snow, and that he would be willing to treat us with good wine and delicious mutton." ”

Yang Fan thought for a moment and ordered, "Stop and rest in place." Send a few people over to help, and be careful not to reveal your identity. ”

The scout agreed. The entire convoy stopped. A dozen men jumped off their hunchbacks and hurried to the felt tent.

Yang Fan looked at the felt tent half-buried in the snow, shook his head and said, "Their life is really hard, such a winter ......"

Yang Fan didn't say any more, their life is hard, maybe this is also their generational continuation. Whether it was the Di, Rong, Xiongnu, Turkic or any other ethnic group, the entire nomadic people always regarded the Central Plains as their supply depot and an important target for aggression.

However, the aggressor is the aggressor, and their greatest enemy is the sky and the earth, the wind and the snow. The biggest enemy of agriculture in the Central Plains may be them, aggression and counter-aggression, circulating the laws of heaven and earth, in order to survive. As a member of the Central Plains, Yang Fan could not express sympathy for the enemy.

The scout gloated and laughed: "The snow in front of the tent is several times thicker than the place where we stand, and this is the case on the grassland, and the wind and snow are all blowing all over the place, and when they encounter obstacles, a whirlwind will be formed, and the snow will accumulate thicker and thicker there.

In the snowstorm, they had to stay in their tents on dried meat and cow dung, and sometimes, the wind and snow were too long, and the tent would be buried or even collapsed, and they would freeze to death. So, as soon as the snow stopped, they had to clear the snow from the roof of their tent and around it in case the next snow storm came. ”

Gu Zhuting suddenly leaned over and smiled: "But the mutton here is really good, you have a mouthful." Boiled mutton in clear water, put a little salt, do not need any seasoning, the mutton is fresh and fragrant, there is no smell, there is a large sand onion growing on the grassland here, the sheep here have eaten that since childhood, the body naturally went to the smell. ”

Yang Fan glanced at her and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to know a lot about the grassland." ”

Gu Zhuting smiled proudly: "That's!" ”

Considering that the relationship between the herdsmen and the Han people in this area is too tense, if they encounter herdsmen scattered on the grassland to spend the winter alone, it is fine, but if they encounter a large group of herdsmen gathering to spend the winter, it is likely to be unfavorable to them, so Yang Fan and others pretended to be Khitans.

Although the Khitans have hatred with the Turks, most of the time, the Khitans are the ones who are bullied. Therefore, this hatred is mainly concentrated on the side of the Khitans, and now that they are Khitan envoys, they are less vulnerable to the Turkic tribes.

Yang Fan touched his face as soon as he saw Gu Zhuting, because his current face was completely different.

When Li Duozuo, Ma Qiao and others thought that he was the only one who was the most suitable candidate for the envoy, Yang Fan was really startled and resigned again and again. Because he knew that he could see anyone with that face, but it was not suitable to meet the Turks, and he was afraid that he would meet the same Musi as him in the Turkic tent.

But if he didn't go, there was really no one who could perform this important task, and Li Duozuo really couldn't find a second suitable candidate, so Yang Fan had to reluctantly use Gu Zhuting's disguise technique.

This disguise technique has to be repaired in two days at most, otherwise the cold and wind and snow outside, the warmth and steam inside the tent, will easily destroy it, so that people can see the flaws, so Yang Fan can only bring Gu Zhuting. Anu was forced by him to stay in Qianjinye, he didn't want Anu to be in danger, people always have a selfish heart.

Gu Zhuting saw him touch his face again, and couldn't help but show a hint of a smile in his eyes: "Don't worry, you can't see any flaws." ”

Yang Fan was still not at ease: "Are you sure?" The way I look now is really different from the original, isn't it? Can't you see it at all? ”

The smile in Gu Zhuting's eyes became even stronger: "Cough! You...... In the past, when the Turks pretended to be Musi, did they do something bad, afraid that the creditor would come to the door? ”

Yang Fan's heart jumped, and he hurriedly covered it up: "What's the matter, I'm worried...... I'm worried that something big will happen late! ”

Yang Fan didn't dare to tell her any more. Turn around and look at the field where the snow has stopped. The snow that stands still in the field is like a wave that freezes, forming a variety of patterns, which is very beautiful. Looking at the masterpieces of nature, Yang Fan suddenly remembered the grassland woman with a bee waist and long legs, "as passionate as fire" - Mu Heyue.

That scene is fragrant, it is really ......

Thinking of the original situation, Yang Fan's heart fluttered, like ripples formed by the wind and snow on the snowfield.

It's a secret that no one can tell, but when I think about it occasionally, it's really exciting and tempting.

Then. Ma Qiao, who was wearing a Khitan leather robe and a dogskin ear cap, ran over and interrupted Yang Fan's charming aftertaste: "Brother Fan, how do you say I should talk then, I'm here to help you." Or not a word? ”

Ma Qiao took the initiative to ask to be a deputy envoy and accompany him on the road. This road Maqiao is always thinking about what he should say and do when he arrives. For fear that something would be wrong, it would drag Yang Fan back. Yang Fan is very happy about this, his brother is no longer the messy boy he was at the beginning, he already knows how to do things seriously.

Yang Fan smiled, as bright as the sunshine that suddenly appeared after heavy snow: "You don't have to worry, just do whatever you want." It's okay to be more flamboyant than usual!"

Ma Qiao said worriedly: "I'm afraid that something will go wrong and drag you back." ”

Yang Fan patted him on the shoulder and smiled easily: "Don't worry! The more casual you are, the more they believe it! Silent sip is a! ”

……

Wu Yizong read Li Duozuo's letter. Overjoyed, he immediately ordered in a hurry: "Hit the drum, and the commander will be promoted!"

After a while, the drums sounded, Wu Yizong gathered the tent, and ordered majestically: "The whole army will immediately move west and be stationed on the front line of Shizhou, Lanzhou, and Shuozhou." ”

The general order, all the generals are stunned, they have become accustomed to Wu Yizong's whimsical style of play, usually the enemy comes from the east, I go to the west, the enemy comes from the north, I go to the south. Could it be that the generalissimo Wu heard some rumors again, and planned to go to the west to avoid trouble?

Zhang Yuanyi couldn't help but ask: "May I ask General Wuda, why did we move to the front line of Shizhou, Lanzhou, and Shuozhou?" ”

Wu Yizong hid the Khitans all day long, hiding himself a little embarrassed, how did his soldiers think of him, he knew very well in his heart, but he had no choice, Cao Renshi and Wang Xiaojie had more soldiers than him, what was the result? Let him have the courage to fight with the Khitans, he doesn't dare!

Lou Shide has fewer soldiers than him, and now he is fighting well, Li Duozuo has fewer soldiers, but he won a big battle, but he thinks that luck accounts for a large part, and he doesn't dare to gamble his life on luck.

This time, Li Duozuo, as the commander of the Northern Route Army, asked him to cooperate in the battle. In order to prevent the Khitans from fleeing westward, he was asked to garrison the western front to stop the Khitans from moving westward.

To the west was the territory of the Turks, and Empress Bixia had promised to return the six prefectures of Hequ to the Turks, in exchange for the Turks sending troops to cooperate with the Zhou army. He believed that it was impossible for the Khitans to flee westward under such circumstances, so it was safest to garrison the western front, and so far he had not seen the Khitans flee westward.

So Wu Yizong immediately decided to "cooperate" with Li Duozuo, this time he could justifiably avoid the war, who could ridicule him for being afraid of war and cowardly the enemy?

Zhang Yuan asked one by one, and Wu Yizong immediately took out Li Duozuo's letter and explained it confidently, saying that as the commander of the Southern Route Army, he would resolutely cooperate with the combat intentions of the Northern Route Army, and the whole army would change its guard and move to the Western Front.

The generals have nothing to say, now that Lou Shide and Li Duozuo are fighting well on the northern front, since Li Duozuo has made this request, maybe it is really a change in the northern war situation, and it is necessary.

Seeing that the generals had no objections, Wu Yizong immediately arranged for them to set off on the same day and move to Lanzhou, almost at the same time, the capitals and counties of Hebei began to spread an exciting news: the imperial army has formed a siege of the Khitans, and the elimination of the Khitan rebels is just around the corner!

This special diplomatic battle has slowly begun......

: Vote, for Yang Fan! In the early hours of the morning, please cast your freshly baked recommendation vote!
