Eilechuan, under the Yin Mountain, the sky is like a dome, covering the four fields. The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.

As soon as Liu Yuan arrived at Tianma Ranch, he was immediately fascinated by the scene in front of him: the sun was setting, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the vast earth, as if putting a golden coat on the earth.

Although the locations are different, the scene is as beautiful and magnificent as depicted in the song.

"Woo woo woo ......"

Suddenly, someone blew the horn, as soon as they heard the horn, those horses reflexively raised their heads, some horses had already begun to run forward, and some wranglers waving long whips also drove those horses that were a little slower to react, for a while, the earth shook, and the scene of thousands of horses galloping made Liu Yuan amazed.

"Miss Shama, how many horses do you have in this Pegasus ranch?" Liu Yuan asked curiously.

"This pasture has been maintained for about 2,000 horses, because the land in our pasture is limited, and no amount of grass is enough, but thanks to General Liu's blessing, he wantonly slaughtered those cattle, sheep and horses, and it is precisely because of this that the total number of livestock on this grassland has decreased, and our Apo clan has taken the opportunity to rent and buy a lot of land, and many herdsmen have cut a lot of grass and sold it to us in order to make a living, so that the number of horses is now about 4,000, which has almost doubled." Shama said with a fluttering eyebrow.

This is a typical national disaster.

Tang Dashan said a little strangely: "Why is it called Tianma Herding Horses?" The horses here are particularly good? ”

"Oh, that's not it, it turns out that the quality of the horses in the pasture is only average, and out of nowhere, a herd of wild horses came running, and cooperated with the horses of the pasture, and repeatedly produced good horses. So we called the horses the Pegasi, and the ranch was renamed the Pegasus Ranch. Shama patiently explained.

"Oh, such a big pasture, so many good horses, why couldn't we see it back then? You know, we didn't have the good relationship we have now, so we won't show mercy. Liu Yuan joked.

Sha Ma smiled slightly: "Back then, the Zhenfan army was like a no-man's land in the vast grassland of Subi, even our Apo clan did not dare to stand in its way. My brother knew that a small group of Tang troops had entered, so he guessed that your purpose was to disturb and destroy, and to transfer the pastures to the same area as the sheep in time and foster them in the territory of familiarity, although the water and grass were not abundant. It took a lot of extra concentrate, and there was not much loss at all. ”

"It's interrupted. Instead, it's chaotic. Abandon the small and protect the big, Apo. General Se is really courageous. ”

Hou Jun, who was observing carefully, suddenly asked in a low voice: "Miss Shama, I saw that the horses in your Tianma Ranch seem to be stocked in batches, some of them are fat and strong, and some are just average, and their coat color is not very good. By the way, it seems that the horn sound is also different, and these horses have been cultivated since childhood? ”

"General Hou is more observant," Shama nodded and said, "Horses are the same as people, there are good and bad differences. Advantages and disadvantages, the foal was born, we have people who understand horses through its physique, bones, neck length, limbs and other factors to divide it into three, six, nine and so on, and then separately cultivated, the best horses will give priority to feeding with concentrate, and the horse does not have such a good treatment, can only be grass with coarse grain, sometimes even coarse grain, because its role is only with the cart, there is no need to waste food on it, like these high-class horses, most of them are on the battlefield, with horns to graze, it can be regarded as making it familiar with the battlefield in advance. ”

So that's the case, Liu Yuan nodded, this horse raising is really a science.

"Okay, General, the beef in the pot has been boiled to the ground, and the fat sheep on the fire has been roasted fragrantly, just wait for the soldiers to enjoy it, let's go."

There was no need for Shama to remind him, Liu Yuan smelled a tempting aroma of meat early in the morning, and his saliva was already flowing, and he immediately agreed: "Okay, let's go." ”

It was another sumptuous feast, with strong and energetic mare's milk wine, tempting and fragrant beef, charred outside and tender mutton, and all kinds of delicacies, which made the soldiers of the Yangwei Army very satisfied, and it was great to have someone to answer, along the way, the danger was minimized, and the comfort was the highest.

This is also related to the heritage of the Apo family, although it is a declining old noble, but the foundation is still there, the officialdom has been frustrated over the years, the shopping mall is proud, the business has done a lot, and the profits are not less, it is like this, it is no problem to support Liu Yuan and his party, if it is someone else, it is estimated that he will not be able to support it for a long time, of course, Liu Yuan will not take advantage of her, and the military department will convert it into silver and supplement it to her.

After he was full of wine and food, Liu Yuan took a sip and said unceremoniously: "Miss Shama, how far is the residence of Nazanpo from here?" ”

"General Liu is really responsible, Zan Po lives in Sun Poru's general's mansion, about eighty miles away from here, not far away, not close, if the general doesn't mind, Sha Ma will also give up his life to accompany the gentleman, accompany the general on a trip, and go to explore the truth first."

"Okay, I ate too much just now, so let's take it as a post-meal dissipation." Liu Yuan readily agreed.

It's one thing to arrive, it's one thing to find the goal, but it's another thing to complete the task, the purpose of Liu Yuan's trip is very clear, that is, to establish unfortunate military exploits, to make up for the labor, if it is an ordinary small sin, it is just a small sin, and Li Er's most beloved daughter is given, this is a bottomless pit, Li Er, who has always been careful in his calculations, will definitely not let go of himself easily, thinking about this, Liu Yuan's head is big.

There is a knife on the head of the color character, the ancients did not deceive me, Liu Yuan felt that there was a bright knife hanging on his head, which would fall down at any time, in order to protect himself, he had to take the initiative to prove the value of his existence, so that he would not be swallowed up by Li Er's anger.

For the stability of the four realms, in order to envelop his subordinates, Li Er can be said to make the best use of women, when he first ascended the throne, in order to level the four seas, the princess of the previous dynasty, the woman who married, the woman of the family, the beauties with use value, to; is not stingy with his daughter, he can have relatives, and the son of a meritorious minister can also be a concubine, Liu Yuan doesn't believe it, this princess can be cheap to a foreigner, so can't she be cheap herself? Your contribution to Datang is big enough, right?

Forget it, if you don't think about these in advance, let's grab more military merits.

Shama and Liu Yuan agreed, and the others had no opinions, even if they had opinions, they could ignore them. The people who went to explore the camp quickly determined that Liu Yuan, Shama, Yue Chong, Desolate Wolf, Hou Jun, Tang Dashan and Shama's four relatives totaled ten people, one person and two horses, under the cover of the night, and went straight to Zanpo's camp.

Although it was night, the bright moonlight could clear the ground, and the grassland was flat, and it was indeed a pleasant thing to let the horses gallop on the boundless plateau, and this sweaty horse named Chasing the Wind began to show its strength. The starting speed is fast, the staying power is strong, and there is no need to spur, and with a slight clamp on the horse's belly, it will raise its four hooves. Like a gust of wind rushing forward, Liu Yuan only felt the whirring sound of the wind. It took less than two breaths to easily pull away. And it got bigger and bigger, so that Yue Mian had to slow down and wait for Shama and his party.

A famous horse is a famous horse, and it feels completely different, no wonder so many generals are looking for famous horses in every possible way.

When there were still five miles away from the camp of Zanpo, Liu Yuan left the remaining horse in place, and then took out the thick cloth prepared early in the morning to wrap the four hooves. Put a sleeve around the horse's muzzle to keep the noise to a minimum and prevent anyone from spotting.

With the help of clairvoyants. The group avoided the scouts of the two teams patrolling the night, climbed up a small hill, and as far as the eye could see, there were large camps, piles of bonfires, and teams of patrol guards.

"General, it's so far away from here, you can't see clearly, it's better for us to get closer, even if we are discovered, we are not afraid, the little woman can prevaricate with the reason to discuss with Zanpo." Sharma took the initiative.

This hill is more than two miles away from the camp, and now it is night, I can't really see it, like others touching the camp, it is all cautious, almost touching the enemy's nose to probe the enemy's situation, Sha Ma thought that Liu Yuan and his party were afraid of being exposed, so they didn't dare to approach, so they couldn't help but take the initiative to say.

Liu Yuan held his clairvoyant eyes and watched, but did not speak, and Hou Jun on the side couldn't help but smile and said, "Miss Shama, no, for us, coming here is enough." ”

Shama wanted to ask if he could see clearly, but when he saw Hou Jun's confident expression, he couldn't help but ask again recently, just a little curious, what was the big and small thing that Liu Yuan put in front of him, and what could shrink, that serious look, not like a toy.

This Zanpo really has a bit of the demeanor of a general, Liu Yuan held his clairvoyant eyes, and nodded secretly while looking: The big camp is built by the mountains and the water, so the advantage is that there is no need to be surrounded by enemies, there is a lean, and it is also beneficial to camp by the small river, one is convenient to get water, and the other is to find a water source to extinguish it in the shortest time when the fire is lost.

"Hou Jun, you can also take a look." Liu Yuan handed Qianli to Hou Jun and whispered, "If you lead a team to attack the Shuai camp at night, how sure are you?" ”

"Yes, General," Hou Jun replied, took the clairie and began to measure.

Liu Yuan turned his head to look at Shama on the side, and asked in a low voice: "Miss Shama, this barracks, I guess you are not unfamiliar with it, it is so tightly arranged here, was it arranged by the previous one, or was it arranged by Zanpo herself?" ”

"It was arranged by Zanpo himself" Shama recalled: "This was originally a hundred households of the guard, after Zanpo was named one of the five ru Sun Boru's general, he moved the general's mansion here, and combined the general's mansion and the military camp into one, all the arrangements here are handled by him, why, general, there is a problem with the layout here?" ”

"No, even Liu's arrangement is estimated to be not so perfect, you see, interlocking, both meritorious and defensive, and deeply rooted in the art of war, this person is indeed a great rival of my Datang."

At this time, Jun also put down his clairvoyance, shook his head and said: "General, his subordinates are thirty percent sure that they can kill him, but after the deed is completed, there is little chance of escaping smoothly." ”

When Liu Yuan heard this, he immediately vetoed: "I don't even have half of the certainty, so I can only give up doing it in the barracks and look for another opportunity." ”

Hou Jun is a master of assassination, for him, there is no more than seventy percent certainty, it is very dangerous, and Zanpo himself has extremely high martial arts, people like him have an extraordinary sensitivity to danger, even if he touches it, the probability of assassination is not high, Liu Yuan immediately made a decision and immediately gave up the possibility of assassinating him in the barracks.

"Yes, General." (To be continued......)
