Chapter 62: Ghost Valley
"I said, I have no problem with a few of you who want to come and eat sand, why do you have to pull me?"
Qin Bai shook the yellow sand on his body, pulled his legs out of the sand with difficulty, and spit out the sand grains in his mouth: "Do your brothers see that I am living too comfortably in the palace, so you have to pull me out with me?" ”
"You don't talk about it!"
Without waiting for Pu Lao to speak, the sixth man narrowed his eyes and took the lead in scolding back: "Who do you think is willing to take you?" It's a drag! If you weren't afraid that you and Yu Miaojin would really have something to explain, would you really be more likely to be more recruited? It's just Snow River baby you! …… You're a piece of in the eyes of our brothers, you're just a piece of, to put it mildly. ”
Obviously, when it comes to the ability of mouth cannons, Qin Bai is not his opponent at all, and he is so angry that he eats a lot of sand with his mouth open and closed, but he can't say a word.
"Okay, let's not say a word."
Jun Qi hurriedly came out to make a round and comforted: "We are here to borrow troops from the three guards of Wuliang Ha in Mobei, you are the prince, and your words are the most weighty and sincere." Moreover, you are still the protagonist this time, you can't do it without you! ”
How do you know that the grub still does not give up:
"Do you think our brother is so willing to accompany you to this place to eat sand? It's really okay to brag! Open your mouth is 200,000 soldiers! Pretending to be cool for a while, why did you coax it when it was time to cash it out? You have the ability to recruit troops yourself! …… In the small land of Yancheng, 200,000 people?! You're going to recruit until the Year of the Monkey! ”
Qin Bai's face turned red, but his combat power was not at the same level as others, as long as the grub had one mouth, he only had dry eyes.
In fact, the figure of 200,000 is not nonsense. The total number of soldiers and horses in the imperial court was about 500,000, half of which were distributed in the northwest and southwest to prevent foreign enemies. There are nearly 200,000 troops in the forbidden army in the capital and the surrounding areas that can be quickly assembled, so if Zhao Zheng wants to rebel, he will need at least 200,000 people to have a chance of winning.
"I'm going to make a noise and go home!"
Pu Lao finally couldn't stand it, and he couldn't wait to tear the sharp mouth of the sixth child: "You talk a lot!" Don't think you have enough sand?! The decision to borrow troops from the Tartars was unanimously agreed! This is also the most direct and effective method at the moment, and it will not be discussed. ”
The matter of borrowing troops from the Tartars is also an emergency.
According to the original arrangement, after the Wuliang Hawei in the north gathered soldiers and horses and alarmed the imperial court, he would definitely send troops to order Zhao Zheng to lead his troops to defend against the enemy. When the victory was complete and the remnants of the Tatar soldiers were collected, the soldiers and horses were reorganized and then officially called the emperor.
The plan has always been to be safe and thorough, to ensure that nothing goes wrong. But in this way, it will inevitably take too long - it will take more than half a year to finish the battle with the Tatars at the earliest, not to mention the rebellion later. Moreover, when he planned this, he definitely didn't think that Xuehe would fall out with Qin Bai so soon, and Qin Bai was thinking about running away at this time. If it weren't for Jun Qi's close attention every day, God knows what kind of moth would have happened.
As the so-called plan can't catch up with the changes, the gang has not shown up, and the thorny problems have been piled up into a mountain, so everyone can't wait like this, right?
Therefore, when everyone met, they unanimously decided to adopt a faster method: find the Tatars to borrow troops to rebel!
The Tatar cavalry was an elite, small in number but strong in combat. And most importantly, these people are almost like bandits, they only recognize money! They were not interested in the Great Zhou Dynasty, they just wanted to rob and make some money - so as long as the gold was in place, everything was negotiable.
In contrast, although the imperial army had 500,000 people, most of them were poorly trained, and most of the generals who could fight well were also wiped out by the first emperor, just to leave the little emperor with a clean country. According to the intention of the first emperor, as long as the new monarch cuts the feudal domain year by year and firmly grasps the military power in his own hands, everything will be worry-free.
It's a pity that the first emperor is not an immortal, and he probably didn't expect that the little emperor would use the national teacher from the side door because he was too afraid of his uncles to usurp the throne, and lost the virtue and integrity of the Son of Heaven.
Under Pu Lao's persuasion, the two finally stopped arguing. Xiao Qi's eyes were empty and said:
"The Gu Diao just sent back the news, the wind and sand in the first thirty miles are even bigger, looking at this formation, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop in three or five days. Unless the sun is scorching in the west, the rest of the horses will not be able to survive. ”
When everyone heard this, they all looked at the horses beside Junyi, and then exchanged glances. The grub stepped forward with a smile and said:
"I have a way! Wouldn't it be better to let the eighth baby carry us over one by one? Anyway, thirty miles away is the Black Dragon's Back, and the wind and sand can't blow through, so it's easy to walk further......"
"Don't!"
Jun Qi didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and immediately hugged the horse's neck in the scorching sun of the West Pole, and nervously grabbed the reins: "I'm going to die tired!" Don't even think about it! ”
"Don't swoop like that! It's only a hundred and eighty miles round trip, and this beast can bear it! ”
Jun Yi Tie blushed: "Get out!" There are no doors! ”
"There's another way."
The fierce man, who had been silent for a long time, spoke at this time: "Or, let's bypass the land of wind and sand and borrow the road from the Ghost Valley in the west, although it will take dozens of miles, but the road in the valley is easier to walk, and we can reach the Black Dragon Spine in half a day at the latest." ”
There was silence.
The route he said was not unfamiliar to everyone who had been working in Mobei since he was a child to learn art from his master. However, no one wants to mention that it is not that everyone has forgotten, but that the place is called 'Ghost Valley', which is the extreme yin land of the Northern Wilderness, a narrow and long chasm valley, the deepest part is hundreds of zhang, like an abyss that cannot be seen at a glance;
What's more, it is the location of the Hundred Ghost Market that opens every seventh day, and the last time I met the haunting qin demon, it was here that he lived.
This really fulfills the old saying that it's not that enemies don't get together, and now you can really only borrow from that ghost place.
However, as far as the temper of the fourth child is concerned, he can't say or persuade! The last time he came to fight with the banshee, he stopped him, and everyone didn't dare to ask; Now it's only a few days later, and God knows what the situation will turn out!
"Okay, let's go."
Where did Qin Bai know everyone's thoughts, he took the reins of the horse and said: "Isn't it just that I met a ghost, what's the big deal!" Where in the world could there be more terrible and annoying than you? It's a little interesting. ”
"No, I'll go to explore the road first, and you're here to hear from me."
The raccoon led the horse out alone, and was about to turn over and get on the horse, but saw the horse stop him:
"Fourth brother, ride my horse, the pace is faster."
The scorching sun in the West Pole, even if it is placed among the Pegasus, it can be called the best BMW horse. Whether it is mountains and rivers, wetlands and swamps, or thousands of miles of quicksand, it can walk as fast as flying, just like stepping on flat ground. And it likes to eat ghosts, even in the territory of the underworld, it can come and go freely.
He smiled and nodded, not politely to him, but reached for the reins, patted the blood-red glowing fur, and put the stirrups on his horse.
Since the brothers heard about his past with the qin demon, they were all afraid of his stinky temper, and they didn't dare to persuade him more. At this time, Jun Yi wrinkled his brows, thinking that he was going to see the banshee alone, and he always felt that something was faintly inappropriate in his heart.
"Fourth Brother ......"
Jun Qi was anxious for a long time, and just wanted to persuade him to be careful, but when he looked up, he was met with a fierce gaze:
"My own business, my own measure."
Jun Yi was blocked by him in the second half of his words, hesitated for a while, and then said tentatively: "Or, I'll go with you?" How about two people going together? ”
"Are you worried about me, or are you worried that I won't be able to take care of this beast?"
He sneered, raised his horsewhip and pointed at Qin Bai: "You better take a good look at him!" Don't look back, our brother worked hard for a long time, but he lost him, isn't it in vain? ”
Jun Yi was helpless, so he had to nod in agreement, but his hand grabbed the halter and refused to let go.
Seeing this, he said:
"Don't worry! Even if I give up my life, I will keep it and send it back to you in good condition! ”
Jun Yi shook his head and sighed: "No matter how rare this baby is, it's just a beast, or the safety of the fourth brother is more important!" ”
"That's it!"
Jun Qi finally let go of his hand, and with a slight clamp between his legs, the scorching sun of the West Pole jumped out of the half of the low wall, and his four hooves stepped steadily on the soft yellow sand, like an arrow from the string, towards the direction of the Ghost Valley.
Jun Yi turned around with a sad face, and complained to Pu Jiao again: "I always feel that it is inappropriate! If the eldest brother is here, he will definitely persuade him not to go! ”
Hearing this, Pu Jiao also sneered: "It's extremely dangerous for him to go, can you see it if you look at me?" But if he had been a persuasive man, how could things have gotten to this point? ”
"Ugh."
The grub sat under the wall and exclaimed, "It's a disaster that can't be avoided!" When he wrote poems on the wall and scolded others, he should have thought that there would be today's retribution! ”
As soon as the fox left, everyone began to talk about it:
"As far as the fourth brother's temper is concerned, even if we all go with us, I guess we can only watch and see that we can't help anything."
"Help? What do you need? Is it the fourth brother who scolded the people first, and then we went to beat them up again? …… Do you still want face? ”
"It's okay, the fourth brother has a good body, and there is a scorching sun in the West, even if the conversation collapses and turns around and runs away, there should be no problem, right?"
"Heh, which eye do you look at the fourth brother like a person who sees things badly and turns his head and runs away?"
"Don't run down! In terms of ability, although the banshee is powerful, the fourth brother's swordsmanship is a must! It will definitely not be a problem to accept her. ”
"I think that banshee is very good-looking, it would be a pity if she died under the sword of the fourth brother, tsk."
Qin Bai couldn't interject, and listened to them quietly on the side, and he could guess the matter sentence by sentence.
The sky was covered with yellow sand, and the field of vision was drowsy, and the coarse grains of sand were blown by the howling wind as if they were falling on a person.
Except for Qin Bai, everyone else was accustomed to this bad weather, and they all sat around and chatted casually in the wind of ghosts crying wolves.
Before I knew it, it was getting dark. I don't know how long it has been, but I still haven't seen him come back.
