At the end of November, the Mobei grassland, the Great Khan's royal tent has already returned to the Tianbei grassland, which is close to Yanyun, Shuozhou, Huanzhou, Yingzhou, Yunzhou, Jizhou, Xinzhou, Wuzhou, Confucian, Danzhou, Zhuozhou, Jingzhou, Yanzhou are the twelve states in the northern border of Wei, which is the area guarded by Tuoba Lie, the king of Yan of Wei; However, in the Great Xia, in addition to the twelve states in the Jiaping Pass, there are still four states related to the outside, namely Shengzhou, Beizhou, Dulong Prefecture, Yan Huizhou, these four states are the Longxing land when the Tuoba Department lives in Mobei, the Tuoba Department is ordered by the Emperor of Daxia, the four states are guarded for generations, the Tianbei grassland covers an area of 5,000 miles, the grassland is lush, and there is a huge holy lake, Tianyuan Sea, the Tuoba Department is precisely because of this place, and has 100,000 iron horses, dominates the desert south grassland, and lays a solid foundation for the future to seek the land of the Central Plains and become the lord of the Northern Dynasty.

Although the Tuoba Department established the Great Wei and changed Luojing to the name of the ancient city of Monan, called the Eastern Capital, but when the first Great Khan of Mobei Yelu Zonghan fled back to Mobei and established the Mobei royal court, the Great Wei did not want to recapture the four states outside the Guanwai for a day, and the two countries fought for a hundred years, and in order to take revenge on the Wei State, starting from the first generation of Dayan Great Khan, they located the Tianyuan Sea of the Tianbei Grassland in the winter Mobei King Tent, because as long as the spring begins, the Mobei tribes that have been hungry for a winter will pounce on the Wei State like a hungry wolf to plunder, The ancient Great Wall of the Yanbei Mountains was damaged in many places, and it was impossible to stop the Mobei wolf cavalry in the south, Wei State in order to prevent Mobei, arranged heavy troops in Yanzhou, and 200,000 Beikui troops guarded the twelve states in Guannei, this hundred years of attacking each other endlessly, Mobei Guan entered the Kou in the spring and autumn every year to beat the grass valley, looting grain, grass, property and population, in order to fill the various departments, and Wei sent cavalry into the Mobei grassland every summer when the Mobei grassland was the most lush and the winter when the food was the most scarce, not to rob things, but to kill people and kill livestock, and cut off the skin of the head for each person killed, the Wei Northern Kui Army called it stripping turf.

The hatred between Wei and Mobei is getting deeper and deeper in the regular practice of two times a year, and it cannot be reconciled at all, but all this has had two opportunities to change, in the sixth year of Guanzheng, Emperor Ding wanted to stop this endless vendetta, and made three decisions, he asked Mobei Khan Yelu Chuyuan to marry his sister county lord Yelu Qingqing, and named him a concubine; Set up horse markets in Yunzhou, Shuozhou, and Yanzhou, and allow Mobei to trade livestock and horses for tea, salt, silk, lacquerware, ironware, and grain of Wei, so that Mobei has no reason to enter the Kou; In addition, every year, the Mobei royal court is allowed to send gifts to the eastern capital in the name of the Hajj county lord, and the Wei State sends one million taels of silver, 50,000 taels of gold, 50,000 horses of silk, and 10,000 horses of brocade as a return gift from the Wei State, in fact, it is a disguised purchase of the Mobei royal family, and the body of the Great Khan of Mobei Dayan, who was killed by Emperor Gaozu of Wei, was sent back to Mobei for burial, so far the border between the two countries has been stable for ten years, but because Yelu Qingqing went crazy soon after giving birth to Tuoba Lie, in fact, he was locked up in the cold palace Yingyuetai since the ninth year of Guan Zheng, and Emperor Ding blocked the news, It was not until the news of the death of Concubine Li in the seventeenth year of Guanzheng reached the Mobei royal court, Yelu Chuyuan was angry and sent troops, and the two countries returned to the situation before the peace.

From the nineteenth year of Guanzheng, a prince was sent to the Yanzhou army for training, and at the age of fifteen, he served as a captain to lead the troops out of the customs and cut the turf alone; At the age of seventeen, he was a general in Pingbei; Eighteen-year-old Feng Yan Wang Jin Dingbei General; At the age of twenty, he was the general of Peking University, the governor of Yanyun Dadu; At the age of twenty-three, he married Yelu Guanyin, the daughter of Yelu Chuyuan, the Khan of Mobei, and the twelve states of Guannei of Wei once again ushered in the dawn of peace, and the two countries ceased fighting.

At the end of November, outside the pass was covered in silver, thousands of miles of ice, a team of elite black cavalry of the Beikui Army in this vast desert snow field, like a thin line stretching for several miles, one riding two horses, two horses in parallel, enough for tens of thousands of cavalry.

The leader of the general, wearing a black dragon armor, a unicorn chain coat, a whole piece of steel plate on the chest to make a huge group of dragons, shoulder armor on both sides of the two dragon heads, with a mink fur-lined horn helmet on the head, behind the chain coat under the armor is a light and warm antelope skin coat, and a silver moon scimitar is hung on the waist, the style of the Mobei knife, but there is a long lance hanging on the right side of the horse's belly, the sharp lance is shining silver in the cold wind, there is a huge black bow and arrow and quiver on the left side, the general's face is wearing a mask, Blocking the cold wind of Mobei, there are faint snow marks on the eyebrows, but those eyes are actually blue eyes with blue pupils, the eyebrows are also yellow, and the bridge of the tall nose is half exposed.

"Lord Wang, we still have half a day's trip to Tianyuan Sea, why is Mobei Khan so anxious to find His Highness? In fact, he could have sent someone to Yanzhou to discuss with His Highness. ”

Tuoba Lie's lieutenant Chi Gong said with some doubts.

Tuoba Lie pointed in the direction of Tianyuan Sea with a horsewhip and said: "This time I went, it was for the opening of the market, this spring the two countries negotiated peace, and the border was temporarily stable, but after all, it was inevitable that the grain and grass in Mobei would be unsustainable in winter, in the past, we took advantage of this time to get out of the customs, and their resistance was the weakest to peel the turf, but now with the mutual market in exchange for stability, this trade is still possible." ”

Wei Chigong was a little worried: "Your Majesty has not issued an order, is it appropriate for us to talk rashly like this?" ”

Tuoba Lie shook his head: "It's okay, this winter is not easy, even if the Great Khan can restrain most of the desert tribes in the early spring, there will be some small tribes who will have trouble in order to survive, and at that time, the weak peace between the two countries may be broken, and we will be passive." ”

Wei Chigong asked: "Is Your Highness thinking that the mutual market will be opened first, and then reported to Your Majesty?" I'm afraid that this will have some influence on His Highness's side. “

Tuoba Lie said with a smile: "My father won't blame the king, my father let Gu marry the lord of Guanyin, the purpose is very clear, that is, to stabilize Mobei, so that my uncle can use troops against Jiangbei, now Jiangbei has won, my father's first task is to help the second brother to be the prince, the more stable the border at this time, the better, after all, the second brother has never been the prince who leads the troops to fight, and the father hopes that the king will guard the northern border, so he will let go of power." ”

Wei Chigong suggested: "If Your Highness is like this, you might as well reach an agreement with Mobei, Weichen may not be able to stabilize the position of the prince if the king is on par, if the east changes, His Royal Highness may not be able to plan." ”

Tuoba Lie's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly stopped: "Don't say this again, except for the second brother, everyone else being the prince will cause greater chaos in the court, this king already has Mobei blood, it is impossible for my father to choose me, and the courtiers will not allow it, not to mention that there is a third brother here, his ability is far better than that of this king." ”

Wei Chigong nodded: "My subordinates are talkative, Your Highness forgive me, but His Royal Highness the King of Jin went to the Southern Dynasty to welcome Princess Yonghui back to the Eastern Capital, by the way, His Majesty also recognized a righteous son, the youngest son of the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, and also named Prince Yong, so it seems that there is no war in the south, and the King of Jin does not know if there will be any changes when he returns to Beijing." ”

Tuoba Lie nodded: "Father wants to use the strength of the Southern Dynasty to let the second brother sit firmly on the crown prince, and even did not hesitate to persuade Dou Xiang to let the second sister-in-law become a monk, the father and the emperor treated the mother concubine in the same way, although the father said that he believed in Buddhism, but his heart has always been very hard, I and the third brother have been away from Kyoto for ten years, and the father will not let the third brother stay in the eastern capital for a long time. ”

Wei Chigong sighed and said: "It's a pity, His Royal Highness has the merit of Jiangbei and is still inevitably suspicious of His Majesty." ”

Tuoba Lie nodded and said: "Maybe the prince that my father fears the most is the third brother, after all, he is the one who is most like my father, and I am just a son of my father, I was only arranged here because of my special identity." ”

Suddenly, a group of wolves appeared in the distance, led by a huge silver wolf king, Tuoba Lie raised his hand, and all the cavalry behind him stopped.

Tuoba Lie smiled: "When I came, I thought that those gold, silver and jewelry were probably not my uncle's favorite things, and this silver wolf king's skin was a good gift. ”

Yu Chi Gong arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, Wei Chen looks at His Highness's methods!" ”

Tuoba Lie took out a bone whistle from his arms and suddenly blew it: "Didi~Dididi~"

The cavalry behind him was suddenly divided into five or six units, outflanked from all directions, each cavalry was about fifty horsemen, and the first lieutenant had a bone whistle in his mouth, scattered in the sound of "Didi ~", the formation looked very loose, but from the air, the entire army was like a wolf pack hunting, orderly.

Tuoba Lie turned back to Yu Chigong and smiled: "Follow this king to hunt the wolf king!" ”

Wei Chigong nodded, Tuoba Lie blew another bone whistle, and the twenty guards around him went straight into the feather arrows.

Seeing this, the silver wolf king let out a wolf howl, and thousands of wolves began to retreat in an orderly manner, but the five teams around him, under the command of the bone whistle, were divided and outflanked again, and the captain of each cavalry team also blew their own bone whistle.

Under the impact of the war horse, the wolves were scattered and cut, under the bow and arrow, in the terrible wolf howl, countless wolves were shot, this tactic of using the bone whistle as a cavalry command is the exclusive riding tactics of the Xianbei Tuoba Department, called the Yousheng Cloud Cavalry.

The huge wolf pack was soon surrounded by thousands of horsemen, less and less, and the rangers were gradually narrowing the encirclement, and soon the remaining hundreds of Mobei snow wolves were surrounded by a thousand cavalry, the snow wolf king protected the entire team, and roared at the leader with sharp teeth, his eyes were full of hatred and fear, and the wolves behind him also spread their sharp teeth, wanting to fight to the death.

Tuoba Lie took off his black giant bow and said loudly to the Snow Wolf King not far away: "If you resist, the entire clan will be destroyed, give you a choice, if you can avoid this arrow of this king, this king will let the wolves leave!" ”

"Whew!"

The Snow Wolf King let out a terrible wolf howl, as if agreeing to Tuobalie's proposal, and then he bowed up, glared at his hind feet, and his whole body rushed towards Tuoba Hong like silver lightning, he didn't want to dodge, what he wanted was to tear the throat of the person who led it, even if it cost the life of the entire wolf pack, the wolf never compromised.

The wolves behind the Snow Wolf King all roared to the sky, and rushed towards the Wei cavalry like their wolf kings.

"Drip~Drip~"

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~"

Countless arrows flew out

……

"Whew!"

The Snow Wolf King dodged countless arrows from his horse, and was only less than thirty steps away from Tuobalie, when suddenly his huge body rose into the air and flew towards Tuobalie, opening his big mouth and revealing his sharp teeth, Tuoba Lie pulled the big black bow, motionless, like a sculpture, he could even see the spit on the sharp teeth of the Snow Wolf King, and saw the red bloody mouth.

Eight zhang, five zhang, three zhang

Wei Chi Gong on the side did not show any frightened expression.

Suddenly, the corner of Tuoba Lie's mouth smiled slightly, and a black essence left the giant bow, just a flash of flint, and the black essence drilled into the eyes of the Snow Wolf King, and the Snow Wolf King didn't even make a sound, it fell from the air, rolled on the ground, and finally stopped at Tuoba Hong's feet.

Expressionless, Tuoba put his huge bow and arrow back next to the saddle and looked at the center of the field.

There were less than a hundred wolves left, and after a while, there was not a single one left, and all that was left above the snow was countless bits of red.

Tuoba Lie put the bone whistle to his mouth and blew vigorously: "Didi, Didi." ”

The thousands of cavalry around him immediately scattered in all directions to harvest wolf skins.

Tuoba Lie and Yu Chi Gong turned over and dismounted, and walked to the side of the Snow Wolf King, Yu Chi Gong turned over the body of the Snow Wolf King with his feet, only to see that the arrow shot in from the eye socket, but it did not come out of his brain, and it would crush the brain of the Wolf King.

Wei Chigong pulled out the arrow, and there was very little blood.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid your archery skills are no less than those wolf gods at the Wolf God Altar."

Tuoba Lie smiled slightly: "Clean up the skin, leave two fangs of the Snow Wolf King, this king will soon have wolf cubs, make him a necklace." ”

Wei Chigong smiled and said, "Yes, Your Highness." ”

Tuoba Lie looked at the bloody snow field and smiled: "Help the herdsmen in Mobei eliminate a big wolf pack, they should thank this king, and life will be better and better next year." ”
