"Brother Yelu, although it was only a rout, if you swung your army straight forward at that time, would you be sure that Wu Yingying would have captured that rout army in one fell swoop?" Han Derang brought him a cup of tea and asked leisurely, Brother Yelu Xiu recalled the neat array of the Anxi army advancing and retreating at that time, and couldn't help but fall into silence. Han Derang had already learned about the scene of that battle from the mouth of his subordinates, and now he knew it even more, he handed the teacup to Yelu Xiuge, and said with a smile: "The Southern Dynasty and Anxi have not been on good terms for a long time, but fortunately, this tiger has gone back to the northwest, and Yuwu Daliao is far away, and now it is the faint king of the Southern Dynasty who has a headache." With him in the northwest, the Song people could not concentrate on the east. Speaking of which, Brother Yelu's return to the mountains is actually more beneficial to my Daliao. However, those ambitious and mediocre people in Shangjing should be careful to beware. Hearing his comfort, Yelu Hugo took the teacup and took a sip, chewed the tea and water, and nodded.

Outside the window, the night is like paint, the drums in the city of Youzhou are more heard, there is no trace of people, many in the Song army besieged the city, in the city secretly for the internal response of the Han people have been raided and imprisoned, only to be beheaded on the next day, in the deep prison, according to the rare several Youyan men seem to be singing and harmonizing: "Zhuangzhi hungry for Hulu meat...... Laughing and thirsty for the blood of the Huns......." Although the voice was hoarse, it was full of grief and indignation that diffused around the cell. So much so that after the prisoner was beheaded, the jailer still felt that there was a faint sound of agitation echoing in the cell.

"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. ”

Cai Yu stared out of the carriage window, the grassland scenery outside is vast, the sun is warm, it is the season of midsummer pasture grass grows wildly, the air is wafting with a strong fragrance of grass, all tribes in the territory of the Anxi military jurisdiction have demarcated pastures for grazing, the land of abundant water and grass, there are herds of cattle and sheep everywhere, the shepherds sing the melodious and ancient tunes, and the travelers are all shouting hello when they see this line, it is not like the legend in the interior of the Central Plains, the grassland attacks and slaughters each other, and the barbarians are tyrannical and cruel.

Rescued from Bianliang, walked on the road for almost a month, the depression of the years of seclusion has gradually dissipated, Cai Yu took a long breath, and saw that the world was far-reaching and vast, which made people feel comfortable, but he was often worried, he knew that the Anxi Festival made Wu Yingying is not what it used to be, and even the Song Emperor Zhao Jiong was extremely jealous of him, only from the fact that he dared to take himself away from Bianliang in a rebellious manner, you can know that this person really does not put the court in his eyes, even if he thinks of the old feelings, how will he treat himself?

This carriage is specially made by Anxi, sturdy and comfortable, the outside of the carriage is engraved with the logo of the Anxi Jiedu Embassy, walking in the grassland outside the Saiwai, all the tribes are in awe. Centurion An Sidao took twenty cavalry to escort the carriage left and right, and the centurion Bagen took thirty cavalry to spread out on the periphery to guard, along the way there were various tribes that returned to the hussars to respond, the grassland people were hospitable, and the hospitality of entertaining VIPs was even more so, every place was to kill cattle and sheep, singing and dancing hospitality, the only thing that made Cai Yu feel uncomfortable was that there were many tribal warriors at the banquet and the hussar sergeant to learn martial arts.

In order not to make them delusional, but also to urge the soldiers to practice martial arts diligently, and not to prohibit challenges, he even promulgated a duel law, if there is a dispute between the tribes that is difficult to distinguish the referee, both sides are allowed to send warriors to fight a duel to solve, no matter whether they win or lose, both sides can not retaliate. This decree was accepted by many tribes that were not subordinate to the Anxi army, and the duel gave the tribes more options than the battle to exterminate the race, and these tribes also asked the hussars to send officers as arbiters. The steppe order, dominated by Anxi, is slowly being established. The tribes that did not obey the Anxi army were defeated and driven month after month, and were forced to migrate further north and further east to the steppes.

An Sidao, a centurion of the Chengying battalion who was responsible for escorting this trip, was originally Zhang Zhongyao's confidant, and the centurion Bagen was a Mongolian. Taking advantage of the defeat of the Gaoliang River and the eve of Bianliang falling into chaos, the two rescued Cai Yu from Bianliang, and when they left, they also faked the illusion that the mansion of Longxi County was on fire and all the people in the mansion were burned to death. Along the way, he was doubly careful, and finally arrived at the border of Lingzhou, and the fifty cavalry sergeants rested their horses at an inn next to the trade road. The inn could accommodate seventy or eighty people, and the group came in and led the carriage and horses to the back of the shop, and when they had sat more than half of the seats in the shop, they called the shopkeeper to feed the horses with fine materials, and brought up the good wine and food.

"Grandpa, this is a specialty of the Western Regions. "An Sidao is the origin of a family general, although it is not as meticulous as the court officials and servants in Jinling, but everything is arranged very properly along the way, which also makes Cai Yu, who has just escaped from Bianliang, particularly felt. "Thank you. Cai Yu took the fruit plate and said in a hazy voice. Living in the north for several years, the state of mind of the morning is not safe, and the lord of Jiangnan is a little more cautious.

Although An Sidao and Bagen were very polite along the way, but the killing spirit revealed by the soldiers of the Chengying Battalion made Cai Yu a little secretly frightened, when he lived in Bianliang, he tasted the heat and coldness of the world, Cai Yu deeply regretted that he was intoxicated with the new words and chapters of Zen realm, and did not try to pay attention to national affairs. Cai Yu has been secretly observing the Anxi military horses all the way, compared with the original Jiangnan Army and the Bianliang Forbidden Army, only to feel that the soldiers are fierce, with a domineering spirit, not like the imperial army is obedient, the sergeants are more assertive, and the officials are also very polite to their subordinates, not proud of their official positions, let alone as child servants. His mind was originally exquisite, so he also politely treated An Sidao and other escorting generals, and did not hold the frame of the former Jiangnan lord. Cai Yu took a bite of the vault melon, which was exceptionally sweet and delicious, a cool breath refreshed people's hearts, only to feel that the heat was completely gone, he wondered in his heart, why is there such a cool season in July, is it that the small inn in this village also has a cellar like the palace where ice cubes are stored, turned his head and asked, An Sidao smiled and said: "Grandpa Hugh is strange, the owner of this shop immersed the fresh melon in the cold deep well water with a rattan basket, and the guest officer only fished it up and cut it when he wanted to eat it." Cai Yu praised: "This store also has a heart, and there is the wisdom of Yesuo." At this time, the shopkeeper happened to come up to make tea in person, and said with a smile: "Go and go, my family officials have brought their own good tea and cups, and you just need to put on the pot of hot water," he disliked the tea set and tea leaves in the inn, and was afraid that the shopkeeper's face would not be able to hang up, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Sun, my family officials have a very high vision, and they also praise you for your ingenuity." Looks like your business is going to be booming. ”

Sun Gouzi hurriedly smiled and said: "Where is the guest officer, the small one who opened this shop is just to occupy a place, and by the way, he cultivates a few acres of thin land next to it." Seeing that Cai Yu was puzzled, An Sidao explained: "This Sun shopkeeper is a household who followed the lord from Lanzhou and voluntarily moved to Hexi, according to the rules of the lord, as long as he settles on the terra nullius for three years, the surrounding sixty acres will be granted the title deed. Others are only concerned with grazing and cultivating terra nullius where there is a water source. This shopkeeper Sun also had an idea, so he took the money that the government rewarded him, and collected some money from more than a dozen households with heavy profits, and opened this shop next to the official road in Lingzhou, hoping to make a fortune. ”
