In the past ten days, there is basically nothing to do with Zeng Hua, more than half of the more than 300,000 people in Xiyi have changed their masters, and it takes time to redeploy the personnel, cattle and sheep, and pastures in the middle, especially the Hu Lawyers Association, which is almost self-made, and there are more than 100,000 people at once, if Zeng Hua does not take 20,000 iron horsemen to help him support him, it will be difficult for him to control this situation no matter how capable he is.

But Zeng Hua basically didn't have anything to do. The redistribution basis of the Western and Central Departments is based on the Xiqiang system, which first counts the number of population households, and then 10 households are recorded, 10 households are recorded as 100 households, and 1000 households are 1,000 households, and then a directory is set up, and 100 households and 1,000 households are respectively assigned their duties. And the Hu Lawyers Association is the strongest, and has received a Jinshan general, with six thousand households below, and Deputy Fu Luomu and Da Ji Ganshu each received a captain's position, and there are also four thousand households below. After all, it is the official reward of the "Central Plains Heavenly Empire", which sounds very grand, so not to mention the Hu Lawyers Association, Deputy Fu Luomu, Da Shu Ganshu and others are very proud, and they are all energetic to do things.

But these things are all presided over by Jiang Nan. Originally, Jiang Nan was skilled in these things when Xiqiang integrated the Baima Qiang Department, and now because the situation in Mobei is not completely clear, there are no military positions such as cavalry captains, capital captains, and deputy Sima captains, and temporarily let the directory, hundred households, and thousands of households lead the army and politics. Therefore, the official body is very simple, as long as the candidate is determined and the relationship between the upper and lower levels is straightened out. Moreover, Jiang Nan also knew Zeng Hua's intentions, I am afraid that a group of cavalry will be filled into this flying feather cavalry army in the near future, and those vacant military positions will definitely be selected from those people.

With Jiang Nan there to preside over the distribution of the new subordinates, Zeng Hua only had to sit in charge. But that doesn't mean he doesn't do anything. At least his relationship with Hu Lu has grown by leaps and bounds. According to Zhang, Zeng Hua's closest commander of the Su Guards, the two have begun to approach the realm of Lang Qing and concubine, you are thick and I am strong. However, after the scene at the celebration dinner, everyone knew it in their hearts, and the beautiful woman of the Eile Department was "dedicated" to the new strong man of the Mobei Grassland, the general of Zhenbei, who was also the unanimous mind of the various departments of Eile. They knew that this general of Zhenbei was the biggest supporter of the prosperity of the Ole Department, and it was not a bad idea to "envelop" him with a beautiful woman. No, not only Deputy Fu Luomu, Da Shu Ganshu and Weeping Fu Li Duobao are all thinking about how to give their daughter or sister to Zeng Hua, but even Dou Lin and Ulolanto are also thinking in their hearts. Fortunately, I also have a younger sister in my family, and she looks quite cute. Find a chance to talk about it. To know. Ordinary people want to offer beauty and invite pets, but they can't even find the door.

Law is the most beautiful flower on the grassland, and she has grown up on the grassland since she was a child, she is also a heroic and heroic person, there are not as many rules as the Central Plains women, and Zeng Hua has been moved, so naturally she also began to "talk about love" with Zeng Hua in accordance with the rules of the grassland.

And Zeng Hua, who was idle, also put a mind on Hu Lu, and today he accompanied the beauty to go green, and he couldn't help but offer a bouquet of flowers with a sad expression; Tomorrow with a beautiful woman for a picnic. Wine and food are carefully cared for; Later, they invited the beauties to the party, singing and playing the piano to make them happy. At this time, Zeng Hua was not at all a general of Zhenbei who shocked the world and made countless heroes fearful, but a romantic lover who was deeply in love and spoiled in love. A beautiful woman's heart is already all on Zeng Hua.

Ten days down. The big light bulb next to him couldn't help but lament, his own Zhenbei general is really a celestial, whether it is the battlefield or the love field, he is invincible!

this day. Zeng Hua was telling the story of Huo Quzhi and Wei Qing to Lu through Gu Yuan, when he suddenly thought of the story of Su Wu shepherding sheep. (Fortunately, Zeng Hua can use music, body language, and eyes to show love, this private talk is turned around through Gu Yuan, Zeng Hua was a little unbearable at the beginning, but later he got used to it.) ）

The place where Su Wu shepherds sheep is called Beihai, that is, Lake Baikal in the future, should be not far away, and now it is the time of summer in May, so it is better to take a look.

When Ritsu heard this, he immediately expressed his admiration. Since she was a child, she has heard that there is a heavenly sea in the north called "Yu Si Ni Da Shui", where the mountains and rivers are colorful, like a fairyland, she has admired it for a long time, and she heard that Zeng Hua was going to go, so she was naturally willing to go together.

A day's journey from the camp to the North Sea for horseback riding had to pass through the pastures of the Wefuli and Odd Jin tribes. When Qi Jin Xulai heard Zeng Huadi's intentions, he thought about it and volunteered to be a guide. The Qijin tribe is located in the south of the Beihai Sea, and it is the closest Zhongqile tribe to the Beihai, so it is naturally best to have the Qijin order to lead the way.

And Weefuli Duobao also hurriedly came up, he has not been able to find a chance to curry favor with Zeng Hua, and now he has to go to Beihai through the territory of the Weevoli Department, this is a great opportunity, how can he miss it? Okay, it's not bad to have him, it's not bad to have many people along the way, and with him on the road to take care of, the food and accommodation on the way are all worry-free.

The Lawyers Association and Deputy Fu Luomu and Da Shu Ganshu were very busy, so they didn't have time to accompany Zeng Hua, and Dou Lin and Wu Luolanto were idlers, so they naturally went together.

Zeng Hua's side, Jiang Nan couldn't get out, Deng Yao originally had something to do, but he always admired Su Wu's integrity, and said that he would go to Beihai for a while, so he temporarily took a leave of absence for three days and accompanied him. Needless to say, Zeng Hua is there, he is there.

So, Zeng Hua and the others, under the escort of the three hundred guards of Yitun, ran towards the Beihai in a very comfortable mood.

Zeng Hua and Hu Lu rode side by side, sometimes laughing, sometimes whispering, becoming more and more intimate. However, Gu Yuan was bitter behind, Zeng Hua and Hu Lu had to talk more and more privately, and Zeng Hua was also quite bold, what your smile is more beautiful than the most beautiful flower on the grassland, your eyes are clearer than Beihai, etc., and a string of love words jumped out, making Hu Lu very happy.

Zeng Hua could speak, and Hu Lu was also happy to hear it, but Gu Yuan was offended. This meaty word is

Smelling, Gu Yuan began to want to laugh, but how dare he laugh in front of Zeng Hua; Later, he didn't dare to vomit, so he had to force his face to continue to translate Zeng Hua's increasingly disgusting and numb love words in the back. It's hard to be an ancient dignitary's translator!

Following behind were Dou Lin, Ulolanto, Weeping Fuli Duobao, and Qi Jin Xulai, who exchanged heads and ears with each other. It's very easy. Now that the Lega has a chance to raise their eyebrows, the four of them look very happy, talking and laughing all the way.

But there is one person who is a little abnormal, he is the eldest son of Qi Jin Xulai. He followed his father to the camp of the Egen River and surrendered, and he was also rewarded by Zeng Hua. And Qi Jin Gang fell in love with Hu Lu at the celebration dinner, and Qi Jin Xulai, who knew that his son was better than his father, knew his son's thoughts, and was immediately scared half to death, and immediately persuaded his son. Don't be so bold anymore.

During this time, Qi Jin Gang was very painful. In the past, he could avoid Zeng Hua and Hu Lu, the "dog men and women" who had a strong affection for you. But today there is no way to avoid it. Looking at the delicate and flower-like law in front of Zeng Hua, sometimes coquettish, sometimes angry, sometimes looking back and smiling. Chijingang also followed, sometimes smiling, sometimes angry, sometimes depressed, sometimes sad.

Qi Jin Xulai saw it in his eyes, was anxious in his heart, and secretly reminded Qi Jin Gang several times to hold back. You must endure it, and if you don't bear it, you will make a big plan. After being persuaded by Qi Jin Xulai, Qi Jin Gang's gaze at Zeng Hua and Hu Lu was a little cold.

Although Qi Jin Xulai's father and son's movements were very hidden, thinking that no one saw it, he didn't know that all this was quietly watched by Deng Yao. However, Deng Yao pretended not to see anything, and everything was as usual.

When they arrived at the camp of the Wevoli tribe, under the hospitality of the Weevoli Duobao, Zeng Hua and the others stopped for a night. Anyway, it's out to play. There's no need to rush that.

On the second day, we continued on the road, and soon passed the pasture of the Weefuli tribe, and in front of it was the pasture of the Qijin tribe. When he set off from the camp yesterday, Qijin Xulai had already sent someone to inform his subordinates and prepare for hospitality, so when Zeng Hua and his party came to Qijin Ministry, their ministers and old nobles were already waiting on the side of the road.

Seeing Zeng Hua and the others coming, everyone hurriedly knelt down in chaos. Then several elderly nobles came up and offered fresh milk, milk).|Not only did he get off the horse and accept the offering, but he also drank a few glasses of fresh milk on the spot, and felt that the taste was much better than those Trensu, but would he have diarrhea after drinking, and this fresh milk was not sterilized.

After Zeng Hua received the gift, he returned the bag of silver coins, copper coins and a few jade accessories he was wearing to the noble elders of the Qijin Department, and Zeng Hua and his party continued on the road after staying for long.

Qijin Ranch is not far from Beihai, about an hour to arrive, at this time you can smell a damp and fresh smell of water, people feel that the air is "fragrant" a little.

"By the way, Qi Jin Xulai, where is your second son, Qi Jin Lou?" Crying Fuli Duobao suddenly asked, he and Qi Jin Xulai are neighbors, and he used to have some "ideas" about Qi Jin, so he is more familiar with the details of Qi Jin's family.

Qi Jin Xulai was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a smile: "This kid went to the Eastern Tomb Department a few days ago, and he should find a wife to come back." "That's the custom of the Elebu, either your parents are engaged, or you wander around by yourself, and then you can snatch back what you like.

When he heard this, he nodded in understanding, and immediately stopped talking.

Soon, the sound of water waves crashing against the stones rumbled, and several birds squeaked over the heads of the group, circled twice, and flew away.

"General, in front of you is Yu Sini Dashui." Qi Jin Xulai pointed to the "sea" in front of him and said. The great water of Yusini is the meaning of the moon sea in the Eile language.

"Moon Sea?" After listening to Gu Zhizhi's literal translation, Zeng Hua was immediately a little confused.

"General Hui, this is long and narrow and curved in the great water of Yuni, like a crescent moon, so we call it the Moon Sea." Qi Jin Xulai replied respectfully.

Zeng Hua nodded, he had studied geography, this is Lake Baikal, that is, the famous Beihai in the history books, is the deepest lake in the world. The average depth of the lake is 730 meters, the deepest is 1,620 meters, if you put Mount Tai into the deepest part of the lake, the top of the mountain is still 100 meters above the water.

Riding the horse to the north coast, I saw that the lake water was clear and transparent, through the water surface as if through the air, everything was vivid, reflecting the water color of the mountains and trees on the shore appeared gentle and turquoise, which was pleasing to the eye. However, there are still some ice cubes floating on it, which should be left over from winter.

To the west is a series of mountains with many cliffs, while to the east is mostly grassland. The whole lake shore is surrounded by mountains, the streams are scattered, and now the primeval forest has been green and dense, so the lakes and mountains reflect each other, and the water and trees are close to each other. The scenery is extraordinarily stunning.

"General, there are more than thirty rivers of all sizes flowing into it, the largest of which is the Egan River (Selenga), and from which it flows only the Bone Thorn River (Angara River), but on the north side of the sea. I've been there, and the sea meets the River Bone Thorn for miles wide, and the white waves are mighty and spectacular. Qi Jin Xulai introduced.

"The shores around the Great Shui were frozen much earlier than the sea. From September. The cliffs of the mountains are already covered in snow. The woods are also covered with snow and ice. From afar, all you see is a shimmering silver world. By the time January came, most of the lake had frozen, in some places three or four feet thick. ”

"In spring and March, the ice begins to melt and emerge from the water, and by July, the waters are warmer. The ice melts and people can swim comfortably. However, the weather on the water is unpredictable, and dangers lurk throughout the year. In the summer there is a thick fog that can make fishing boats get lost on the water. And even on a calm day, there may be strong winds and bad waves rolling at any time. ”

“

In winter, hot springs often gush out of the water, and when the spring water rises to the surface, it melts the ice and thins the ice. The ice is covered with snow. Pedestrians can't tell the thickness of the ice at all. It is easy to sink into the water. Not only that, but there is also a species of sea monster (seal) that often burrows in the ice. These ice caves mean death, engulfing dozens or hundreds of people every year. ”

Qi Jin Xuan Lai deserves to live on the north coast borderlands. The introduction was very detailed, which made Zeng Hua and others marvel again and again, there is such a strange story in this Beihai.

After listening to the introduction, Zeng Hua and others stood on the seaside, looking at the beautiful scenery, blowing the fresh "sea breeze", bathing in the rare warm sunshine of Mobei, and were obsessed with it for a while.

Seeing that Zeng Hua and the others had been attracted by the scenery of Beihai, Qi Jin Xulai hurriedly made a gesture to an entourage, and the entourage quickly quietly left the crowd.

Time passed quickly, and it was almost afternoon, Zeng Hua and the others also saw the Beihai almost, and after discussing and admiring, they were ready to leave the Huiwee Fuli Department, and it was not early.

At this time, a strange voice sounded, and everyone was a veteran of fighting on horseback, and their faces suddenly changed, and they listened attentively. The sound is getting clearer and clearer, it should be the sound of horses' hooves, and there should be thousands of sounds to hear.

After a while, a group of cavalry appeared in front of everyone, densely packed with more than 3,000 horses, all of them rode good horses, and the costumes on their bodies were also dressed up by the Ele people, but the weapons and bows and arrows looked relatively simple, and they should not be the soldiers and horses of a large tribe.

"Qi Jin Lou!" Weeping Richdobo saw the leader in front of him at a glance and shouted loudly.

Just as everyone turned their attention to Cry Fuli Duobao when they heard the sound, Qi Jin Xulai and Qi Jin Gang, who had already hid to the side, hurriedly saw the opportunity, kicked the spurs, and prepared to rush out.

But Deng Yao had already set his sights on them. Deng Yao found the father and son having fun on the road, and suspected that there was some conspiracy. When I heard the sound of horses' hooves just now, I first ordered all teams to be on alert immediately, and then gave Zhang Yi a look. Zhang and Deng Yao are both left and right exploration generals, although they fight each other on the surface, but they already know the roots. Seeing Deng Yao's eyes, he immediately had a plan in his heart, and followed Deng Yao's side, full of vigilance.

Seeing that Qi Jin Xulai's father and son wanted to run, how could Deng Yao let them go. I saw Deng Yao roar, and the mount under his crotch shot out like an arrow, and with a flash of lightning, the big sword slashed out of the air, and immediately cut off Qi Jin Xulai's mount with his hips and hind legs, and the four-legged horse suddenly turned into two legs, and he lay on the ground with Qi Jin Xulai at once, and the surging blood soon flowed all over the ground.

Although Zhang was a slow beat, he was not slow, he rushed out of the horse, and then with a hammer of the iron melon, even the people and the horse beat the strange Jin Gang behind him and flew up.

As soon as the two of them launched, they intercepted the Qijin Xulai father and son in an instant, and the cavalry of the ground guards next to them hurriedly went up, picked up the pale Qijin father and son, and escorted them to Zeng Hua.

"Is that your horses?" Zeng Hua rode on his horse and asked in a calm voice.

"Exactly, it's more than 3,000 cavalry in the headquarters led by my second son, Qi Jin Lou!" So far, it is useless to deny it, so I simply answer truthfully.

"Why do you want to kill me?" Zeng Hua is still so kind, just like a kind teacher asking a student who has done something wrong, but the strange Jin Lai on the other side doesn't seem to be so honest, and he doesn't have the attitude of admitting his mistake at all.

At this time, the cavalry on the opposite side began to make noise, and it seemed that they were about to attack.

Zeng Hua frowned, feeling that Qi Jin Lou on the other side was disturbing his problem. Then he turned his head to Gu Yuan and said, "You go and shout to the other side, tell Qi Jin Lou to attack quickly, and exterminate me and his father and brother together, then he will not only make miraculous achievements, but also inherit the position of the leader of the Qi Jin Clan." ”

After Gu Yuan received the order, he hurriedly went to the front and shouted, and the Qijin cavalry suddenly became chaotic, and more than a dozen noble generals who led the troops fought there, but it was Qijin Lou who stood in the middle and couldn't speak.

Dou Lin and the others thought about it. Immediately understood Zeng Hua's intentions. This strange order relied on the tribal leader for decades. The prestige is very high. And Qi Jin Gang, as the eldest son, has long been on his own, so most of the generals and nobles on the opposite side are the henchmen of these two people, but Qi Jin Lou has no strength in it. Hearing Gu Yuan shouting in the words of Eile, don't say anything else, these generals and nobles are really a bit of a shithorn and lose their opinions. And Qi Jin Lou is not easy to speak, otherwise he would really be thought to want to murder his father and brother and usurp the throne.

Qi Jin Xulai knows his own affairs. Qi Jin Lou has not been an adult for a long time, and he has no prestige among the people, and if it weren't for the urgency of this matter, he would not have been allowed to lead the troops. Zeng Hua asked people to provoke such a thing, Qi Jin Lou must not be able to suppress those noble generals with their own thoughts, and couldn't help sighing.

"Why did you kill me?" Zeng Hua continued to ask, but Xu Lai did not answer and remained silent.

"Because I'm cruel?" Zeng Hua asked again.

"No, the Rouran people and the Xianbei Tuoba are more ferocious than you." Qi Jin Xulai replied in a low voice.

"Because I'm a foreigner?" Zeng Hua thought for a while and asked again.

"The Rouran and Xianbei people are also foreigners!" Xu Lai replied crisply.

"Oh. Then why did you start to descend on me? ”

"To save the lives of the people."

"Then why do you want to kill me again?" Zeng Hua asked again.

"Because I want to keep the tribes of the steppe!" This time the preface answered. It's a bit of a big wish.

"Can you tell me?"

"I see your ambitions," Xu Lai said after a moment's thought, "I have seen your ambitions during this time. You're not just trying to kill all the tribes that oppose you. It's not just to plunder more cattle and sheep, you're trying to control the entire grassland! ”

"Why do you say that?"

"You're not just here to make all the cavalry your minions

Let all the people of the steppe become your subordinates. Rouran and Xianbei compete for the position of the first wolf in the wolf pack, but you want to turn all the wolves on the grassland into your shepherd dogs! Qi Jin Xulai said loudly.

Hearing this, Zeng Hua couldn't help laughing, nodded again and again, and said, "I didn't expect that Lord Qijin Lai was still a person with great wisdom. ”

After speaking, Zeng Hua turned over and dismounted, took off the piano bag on the side of the saddle, and then said loudly: "Take Maza, I will play a song for everyone on the shore of the North Sea, hoping to be my answer to Lord Xulai." ”

Mazha was quickly set up, Dou Lin, Ulolanto, and Weefu Li Duobao sat on the side, and Hu Lumi sat next to Zeng Hua, in the mind of this grassland beauty, Zeng Hua could settle everything, so she was not worried at all. And Qi Jin Xulai's father and son were escorted over and sat aside.

When Zeng Hua sat down, he said to the ground behind him: "Chang Rui, lead people to disperse those flies." ”

Zhang answered, ordered two teams of cavalry to ride forward, lined up neatly and prepared, and waited for the order with a murderous face.

And the left Deng Yao shouted violently, and the remaining team divided into a group of people to watch the concentrated mounts, and the rest of the ninety people who dismounted were divided into two parts, and surrounded Zeng Hua and others into two ***. The *** inside faced inside, looking at Qi Jin Xulai and the others with fierce eyes, holding the saber handle tightly in his hand, if anyone made any changes, it was estimated that two or three knives would immediately beckon. Outside, he stood in a circle facing outward, holding his saber, and he was also motionless.

And Deng Yao stood on the outermost, facing the Qijin cavalry. He slowly unsheathed his sword, and with a thud stood it on the ground in front of him, his hands on the handle, and he stood there. At this time, Zeng Hua, who was facing the lake, began to play the piano. Deng Yao and Zhang closed their eyes and admired them in the wind.

The sound of the piano was sometimes deep and sad, sometimes angry and firm, and everyone seemed to see a lonely figure standing proudly on the shore of the North Sea in the midst of the heavy snow, while a bare envoy accompanied him. The gaze of this lonely figure towards the south was filled with longing, persistence, dignity, and a little confusion.

The sound of the piano slowly became empty and desolate, sometimes slow and solemn, sometimes clear and lingering, a lonely soul drifting in a foreign land in the nest of enemies, the pain of missing his hometown but not being able to return, seemed so cold and miserable. Hearing this, the string in everyone's hearts was played by Weng Ran. Tears quietly flowed from Deng Yao's closed eyes, and Zhang, who was standing at the front on horseback, also had red eyes and burst into tears, as did the others.

The sound of the piano suddenly turned, and it became cheerful and jumping, high-pitched and excited, like thousands of horses galloping, sweeping thousands of armies. At this time, Zhang opened his eyes, raised the big knife and hammer in his hand, and then rode his horse and rushed forward, followed closely by the two hundred guards himself, rolling up a whirlwind and rushing towards the Qijin cavalry.

Zhang Da, wielding a broad-bladed broadsword and an iron melon hammer, roared, and the Qijin cavalry in front of him was suddenly swept away into the distance like a leaf by a powerful hurricane, and immediately gave way to a big gap, and the two hundred guards who followed closely behind pierced into the middle of the Qijin cavalry like a big awl.

Zhang is the unstoppable cone tip in the front, the big knife and the iron melon hammer in his hand are almost impossible to match, and the Qijin cavalry in front of him will die next to each other, and he will be crippled if he knocks it; The cavalry on the two flanks behind them had sharp cone blades, and they raised their sabers in their hands and cut down some of the Qijin cavalry who had been frightened by Zhang Meng. The cavalry on these two wings were like two scythes, quickly reaping life, just as they were harvesting stubble after crop of grass. However, the cavalry inside the awl stretched out their bows and arrows, one arrow at a time, and shot the Qijin cavalry in the distance to the ground.

Zhang with two hundred cavalry quickly killed the Qijin cavalry formation, and then turned around and killed back from another place, after a while, I saw the flesh and blood flying, screaming again and again, Zhang led the team to kill the Qijin cavalry formation.

Rushed back and forth several times, the three thousand Qijin cavalry had been killed into a sieve, these Mobei nomadic militia in the relentless ravages of Zhang and others finally some people couldn't help but start to escape, and the Qijin cavalry collapsed in less than half an hour.

Zeng Hua's piano sound has ended, but everyone feels that the piano sound is still surrounding their ears, the killing outside has been separated by the piano sound, and there is only one sound between their heaven and earth, that is, Zeng Hua's piano sound. At the end, the galloping of thousands of horses, the majestic and fierce scene made everyone feel their blood boiling. And in the end, the affectionate, melodious and tactful sound of the piano told everyone that the wanderer had finally returned, and he had finally set foot on the land of his hometown again.

"Do you know what it's called?" Zeng Hua asked.

"I don't know!" Xu Lai's face was like ashes, and he shook his head and replied in a low voice.

At this time, Zhang walked back with a bloody body, and there were no more Qijin cavalry behind him.

"Three thousand cavalry just want to clean us up? It's too underestimating me and Zhang, and it's too underestimating my three hundred guards! If you are three thousand Rouran or Tuoba elite cavalry, maybe there is still a chance, just you strange rotten turnips? Zhang who came to the front said hatefully.

Zeng Hua waited for Zhang to finish this paragraph, waved his hand to stop Zhang from continuing, and turned to Qi Jin Xulai to continue: "This song is called Su Wu Shepherd!" ”

Gu Yuan immediately told the story of Su Wu's sheep herding that happened next to Beihai in the Ele dialect next to him, and everyone was solemn when he heard it.

"What is a festival? It is that he would rather lose his life than abandon his dignity, the dignity of himself and his country! When you know what a country is, what dignity is, what you live for, why you die, you will understand this song, and you may feel that life is much more meaningful than before! Zeng Hua said leisurely
