Chapter 531: Stepping on That Prairie

Fang Xie didn't care what kind of situation Kuketai Menglie would face after he got out of the pass, and he didn't have any interest in the hundreds of thousands of herdsmen at the west entrance of the canyon. There was not a single soldier left in the canyon, and he was not worried that the Mengyuan people would come back. Now that the Meng Yuan chaos is more complete than that of the Great Sui, the Golden Family is engaged in a war that will have a huge impact on their future generations. If Koktai Möngke wins, this vast empire will truly belong to the Golden Family. If the Buddha Sect wins, the Mengyuan may be divided into many small states.

When he thought that the time had come, the Great Khan of Meng Yuan, Koktai Mengke, showed the resolute courage to break and stand up. This is a man who is not willing to be a puppet, so he will never accept such a social structure that divine power is much higher than imperial power. When the Buddha sect was so powerful that it was unmatched, he chose to forbear, and when the news of the Buddhist sect's civil strife came out, he immediately launched a war.

Its decisiveness is admirable.

Perhaps this war will greatly damage the strength of the Golden Family, and even if it wins, the Mengyuan Empire will be greatly damaged. But this is only the pain of ten years, and what Koktai Mungo sees is the glory of ten years later. At that time, the Golden Family will truly usher in its peak moment.

Fang Xie handed over all the affairs of the camp to Sun Kaidao, and then led a group of entourages to the west.

Westbound

These two words have so many meanings.

Fang Xie knew that Luo Yao had told a lie at the beginning, and the thief master that Luo Yao said might just be a fictional character. So really, the first person to use it for westward travel was Yang Qi, Prince Zhong.

Choosing to challenge the most powerful force in the world may be regarded by some as a self-inflicted humiliation moth to the fire, but in the eyes of others, this action has the same grandeur as the war in which the founding emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty blocked the Mengyuan army west of the Wolf Milk Mountain. There will always be a few people who walk in front of the humble and straighten their backs to realize their dreams.

This kind of person may not end up with a happy ending, but every step they take is glorious.

When Fang Xie made the decision to go west, he thought a lot in his heart. His westward journey to Prince Hezhong Yang Qi, Xiao Yijiu, and even Xiang Qingniu are different. His journey to the west is only to pursue an answer, to repay a favor, to make an explanation, not to challenge.

But that's greatness, isn't it?

He didn't have to go.

Fang Xie took his three women, with the Qilin, with the big dog, with Zhuo Buyi, who had always dreamed of going to the prairie, with Yan Mad and Nie Xiaoju, and with a team of selected flying fish robes.

When the group of dozens of people passed through the canyon, everyone's mood was a little heavy. Not long ago, the soldiers of the Black Flag Army blocked the Mengyuan people in the canyon for ten days, if it wasn't for Fang Xie finally thinking of the emperor's plan and withdrawing, maybe they would have blocked two ten days, three ten days, ten ten days, until the last one was killed in battle.

The traces of the aftermath of the battle in the canyon are still there, and the blood stains spilled on the stones are still clearly visible. The stone walls are densely packed with small pits shot by feathered arrows. There were quite a few wild beasts in the canyon smelling blood and searching for corpses, and when they saw the knights coming, they stared warily.

Sometimes things are so unexpected, when he ordered to defend the canyon, Fang Xie never imagined that this stone wall would end its mission so quickly. A lot of preparation is not used, but it is a kind of luck that it is not used. If all the preparation was used, what a difficult dilemma would it be?

"Where are we headed?"

Wanyan Yunshu asked after Fang Jie.

She is the least aware of Fang Jie's three women, but it must not be said that she is the person with the weakest feelings for Fang Jie. Women in Northern Liao dare to love and hate, and once they fall in love with someone, they will be as fierce as fire. They are far more likely to express their feelings than the gentle Central Plains women, and they will never think that it is embarrassing to express their affection for their sweetheart.

"Qinlin Gol"

Fang Xie replied.

Qinlin Gol is the closest place to the royal court and belongs to the direct domain of the Golden Family.

"Let's just go straight to it?"

Wan Yan Yunshu asked again.

"Hmm"

Fang Xie nodded: "Don't worry about anything, we have a small number of people and a small target, not to mention that even if a team of 10,000 people passes by now, no one will necessarily notice, if the Great Sui Tianping Country is rich and the people are strong at this time, it is really an absolute good time, if the army only starts to conquer the west at this time, I am afraid that there are already thousands of miles of grassland fluttering on the red battle flag." ”

Fang explained that it was right, if the Great Sui Emperor Yang Yi decided to use troops against Meng Yuan after more than three years, the Great Sui court might be full of laughter at this time.

Fate played tricks, because the emperor Vameng caused chaos in the Central Plains. And when the Central Plains was chaotic and the Mengyuan people had the opportunity to move eastward, Mengyuan was also chaotic.

These two powerful empires have fallen into crisis one after another.

When he came out of the canyon, the flying fish robe who had explored the path first came back to report that the fight had ended a few days ago, and the herdsmen led by the disciples of the Buddha Sect were naturally not the opponents of the 200,000 wolf riders under the command of Kuketai Menglie, and the grassland was bleeding for hundreds of miles, and the corpses were all over the field.

Fang Xie and his entourage went out of the canyon and entered the prairie, although Fang Xie had lived in Fangu for three years, it was the first time he really set foot on this vast land. When I see the blue sky and the grassland in front of me converging in the distance, I always have the urge to shout.

……

……

After more than ten miles out of the canyon, the mood of the open gradually became gloomy, and the beautiful scenery was smeared with blood into another scene, if hell was full of corpses, then the place they arrived at now was hell. The corpse was almost as far as the eye could see, and there was barely a single green grass to be seen around the corpse. The blood was dried and lost its vivid color, but because of this, it was particularly tragic.

Wolves and vultures devoured carcasses in the meadow, and loyal horses still stood beside their masters, neighing but refusing to leave. Those wild wolves and vultures had been eating the carcasses for a few days, so they were no longer afraid of people. As the team passed, there were even greedy eyes from among the wolves looking this way. A flying fish-robed bow and arrow shot the tooth-baring wolf of the team to death, immediately eliciting several terrible howls.

Not only wild wolves, but also mountain dogs, hyenas, leopards on the Wolf Milk Mountain, and a group of lions of different sizes. They should all be happy, because there are so many corpses that they can't eat them all.

The wolf riders who won the battle left immediately before they even had time to clean the battlefield, so you can imagine how anxious they were to go home.

Fang Xie looked at a broken Flying Wolf Flag on the ground not far away, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Looking at the scene in front of you, you can see how tragic it was at that time, and the civil war will always be a disaster that will hurt your heart when you recall it.

A radius of twenty miles is the main battlefield, but within a hundred miles, you will see herdsmen or wolf knights who have fallen in the grass. And the most surprising and shocking thing is that after walking half of the Manduqi grassland, I didn't see a single herdsman appear. Sometimes I pass by a yurt and go in only to find that it is empty.

There was no one to live inhabited, and the beasts became extraordinarily numerous.

On the seventh day, Fang Xie and the others saw a herdsman team passing by, men, women, and children, driving a few cattle and sheep to watch Fang Xie and them vigilantly. Men in the prime of life wield scimitars and boxwood bows, ready to fight.

Fang Xie asked the flying fish robe, who knew the Mengyuan language, to ask for directions, and when they learned that they were Han Chinese, the herdsmen of this tribe were obviously relieved. At this time, they actually thought that the Han people were closer.

The Flying Fish Robe brought back a few prairie men, led by an old man who looked to be at least sixty years old. Wearing a leather robe, the felt hat on his head is different from that of the Mengyuan people.

Fang Xie dismounted, put his right hand on his chest in the way of a grassland man and bowed slightly, the old man hurriedly returned the salute, and then carefully looked at Fang Xie a few times.

"Han, where are you going?"

He asked.

Fang Xie untied the wine bag from his waist and handed it over, the old man took it with both hands and took a sip, as long as he drank the wine handed over by the other party, he was a friend.

"We're going to find some lost friends."

Fang Xie replied.

The old man sighed: "If it is the Han people who survived the great war a few years ago, you should not look for it again." Those who could escape had already fled, and those who didn't have turned to bones. I advise you to hurry back, the children and grandchildren of the Immortal Heaven have forgotten how to be united with love, and now they will only greet each other with scimitars. Further on is the Hunting Mo Banner, where there was a war a few days ago, and it would be dangerous for you people to go. ”

Fang Xie thanked him, and then asked, "How far is it to go to Qinlin Gol?" ”

"You're going to Qinlin Gol?!"

The old man was obviously taken aback, then looked into Fang Jie's eyes and said sincerely: "Although I didn't like Han people before, since I met you is fate, I must remind you that there is a real hell now." ”

"Thank you for the reminder, but I have to go find my friend, he is important to me."

Seeing the sincerity of the old man's explanation, he asked him to take a map for him: "We are only a small tribe, with a population of no more than 300 people, and now there is no peace and tranquility on the grassland, we plan to go south all the way to find a safe place to settle." This map is given to you, and I hope you are auspicious. ”

"Thank you"

Fang Xie thanked him again.

"That's right"

Fang Xie suddenly thought of one thing: "Excuse me, why haven't I found a temple after I have been gone for so long?" ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Han people, do you think that the grassland is full of temples? Then you are mistaken, temples are only built where there is the aura of the gods, and the people of the Buddhist sect would not walk around casually in the past. It is not easy for us herders who have no status to visit the temple to worship. ”

Fang Xie nodded, then waved goodbye.

Along the way, the grassland seems particularly empty.

Thinking that behind this emptiness is because there are so many people dead, even the magnificence has changed its taste.

……

……

By the thirteenth day, Fang Jie's team had to stop.

It was already sticking to the edge of Qinlin Gol, and the smell of blood was getting stronger and stronger. Along the way, he met a few disciples of the Buddha, who were in a hurry, and it seemed that they were sent to gather the herdsmen's envoys, and Fang Xie killed all of them. Qinlin Gol is one of the rare cities in Mengyuan, although only earthen walls were built, but the scale is not small. The city is still under the control of wolf riders, but it is surrounded by at least 400,000 herders.

Fang Xie led people to find a place to hide, and then asked the big dog to leave with a few flying fish robes and rush to the royal court.

He couldn't enter the city, and Fang Xie didn't want to get close to the royal court.

It is not difficult for a team of dozens of people to find a place to hide in such a vast grassland, not to mention that the population on the grassland has now been reduced to the point where it makes people's hearts chill.

Fang Xie found an abandoned tribal station fifty miles southeast of Qinlin Gol to rest, and after arranging for people on night duty, he went into the yurt to rest.

Just as the drowsiness hit, he suddenly frowned.

Shen Tianfan also sat up and looked outside: "There are great cultivators fighting. ”

"Let's take a look!"

Fang Xie got up, and only went out with Shen Tianfan, letting Zhuo Buyi protect the camp, and the two of them hid their bodies and leaned towards the place where the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi fluctuated extremely violently in the distance.
