Chapter 223: The Beast Master (Asking for a Subscription and Asking for a Monthly Pass)
In the next two days, the atmosphere in Qinzhou City suddenly became tense, and there were soldiers and horses passing through the city, among which there were also many carriages and ox carts, which were full of things, and it seemed that they should be grain and grass.
Qian Yan came back from outside and said to Chouchou: "It seems that this is really going to war, and we have already started to transport a large amount of grain and grass to the border."
It's just that this season is not a good time to start a war, and it is about to snow, and it is uncomfortable to stand still outside in the cold.
Besides, there is not much food in this season, and it must be collected from the people below, and if those people save the food for the winter and are collected away, I am afraid that many people will starve to death when the spring is not harvested.
On the road today, I heard someone say that the price of grain in the city has risen, and it is estimated that there is also grain collected in the city, otherwise the price will not rise. ”
The scandal probed his senses, and went directly to the largest grain store in the city, and he didn't have to wait, someone was asking the price, and the guy was quoting, and the miscellaneous flour of two cents a pound had risen to five cents, and millet had also risen from three to seven cents, which was not a big increase.
Even the price of oil and salt has risen a lot, these things are necessities of life, and if the price rises at the same time, there is a high probability that something will go wrong.
As a result, I waited for another two days, and found that there was no chaos, and it seems that the people living on the border should have gotten used to it, and there was no situation where there was no rush to buy and hoard materials.
According to common sense, when the price of commonly used items rises, everyone will buy and stock up in large quantities in case the price continues to rise.
On the contrary, after the price of goods has risen, everyone has bought fewer things, and these people are either not in a hurry because they have saved things before, or they are sure that the imperial court will not ignore them and will transfer materials as soon as possible.
After chatting with Xue Huan'er, she learned that it was really the latter, and I heard that a few days ago, the prefects of Qinzhou and Yunzhou wrote to the court at the same time and talked about this matter.
This is the first big battle after the official family came to power, and the above means that it must be won beautifully, so as to deter the small countries of the Quartet.
That's why a large number of soldiers, horses, grain and grass went to the border.
Qian Yan asked Chou Chou to try to see if his divine sense could reach the border, and he didn't know if there was any danger in Xifeng Town and Qi Nian Village.
Chouchou looked at it for a moment and said: "So far, the two sides are still gathering troops and horses, and there should not be a war so soon, and the people on the other side of Xifeng Town are living as usual, and there is no impact." ”
"Huh? What's that? ”
Qian Yan said suspiciously: "What's wrong?" What do you see? ”
The ugly ugly wrinkled his little face for a while before he said, "There are people in the Xixia military camp who can resist beasts!" There was a fenced area around a tent over there, and a few wolves had just come running in from a distance, and a dozen more had entered the place afterwards.
Looking at the way those wolves are familiar with the road, they should have gone out to hunt and come back to rest. I didn't see anyone in the tent, I should have gone out, not there. ”
Qian Yan frowned, "That's troublesome, if they drive the wolves to sneak up at night, or lure the soldiers here into their encirclement, then this side will definitely be in chaos."
Especially the cavalry, those horses will stagnate or go crazy because of the fear of wolves, which is very troublesome for the cavalry. ”
In the evening, Chouchou said that someone had returned to the tent, and it was a tall foreign man, who seemed to be from the Western Xia, with a beard and beard, and could barely see his facial features except for his eyes.
In the evening, the number of wolves in the enclosed area was even greater, and the ugly probably counted no less than fifty, and it seemed that he had gathered all the wolves around him.
Those werewolves don't look like they are in the mountains, they should be wolves living in the grassland, and they look very different from the wolves in the mountains.
Wolves living on the grassland are more likely to hide themselves, are better at group fighting, and are faster, and if they do join the battlefield, it is easier to win by surprise.
Ugly Ugly sighed: "It seems that he is really a person who can resist beasts, but his passwords sound very simple, just a few whining and howling, which is very short, but those wolves can understand what he wants to express."
That whining sound doesn't look like a human sound, but it seems to imitate the howl of a wolf, which is different from an ordinary wolf howl, it can't be the voice of the wolf king, right?
And the man's eyes are also very similar to wolves, fierce with shadows, and I don't know if the ancestor has wolf demon blood. ”
Qian Yan said curiously: "Can't you tell if he's a human or a demon?" It can't really be a wolf demon transformed into a human, right? ”
Ugly shook his head, "No, I can see that he is a human being, if there is some wolf demon bloodline on the ancestor, it is very thin, I can't see it with my divine sense, I have to contact him to know." ”
Qian Yan nodded, since she knew that it was indeed a person who was pre-sold in the Imperial Beast, she had to find a way to reveal the news.
……
Qian Yan still had a headache, and she didn't know how to spread the news, and she wouldn't let everyone suspect her, after all, she had been in Qinzhou Mansion for many days, and she knew that things on the border were not normal, and she couldn't spread it to the border, which was equivalent to not saying anything.
As a result, this opportunity came quickly, and Xue Huan'er was a little worried at dinner that day, and only after asking did she know that Li Hanqin was going to the front line.
Originally, he didn't have to go, as the eldest son and grandson of the Qinzhou garrison, he could go up if he stayed in Fucheng and slowly boiled his qualifications.
It is because he himself does not want to miss this good opportunity to make contributions, this war official family attaches great importance to it, and if he behaves well, he may be able to directly seal the marquis, even if he can't be crowned marquis, it is possible for the official to be promoted.
If he has been under the protection of his grandfather, no matter how well he does, he will be said to be taken care of by his grandfather, and there is almost no chance to stand out on his own.
Besides, he is not the only one who relies on his grandfather to protect him, and he is not the only grandson in the family, his father's generation has three rooms, all of them have sons, and it is not so easy to get ahead.
And on the battlefield it is different, although he is a vanguard officer in the garrison, when he arrives on the battlefield, his position will definitely change and will have to be reorganized.
He is confident in his strategy and martial arts, so he really wants to break through.
Of course, Xue Huan'er, who is a wife, is not happy, after all, when she goes to the battlefield, she has no eyes and no swords, so she will retreat.
But she can't resist her husband, even her grandfather's side agrees, she can't stop him from taking revenge, and she now has children and daughters, and if it is not good, even if there is a case, she has to rely on.
was persuaded to support his husband to fight, for himself and for his son.
Li Hanqin also said: "I just died on the battlefield, and I can be regarded as loyal to the country, with my grandfather and father here, no one can let me die in vain, the court always has to give some compensation, and if it is not good, there will be a posthumous seal, and it will also affect my descendants at that time." ”
Hearing him say this, Xue Huan'er had nothing to say, but she was still a little worried, and this was on her face when she was eating.
Hearing this, Qian Yan's eyes lit up suddenly, she was worried that there was no way to spread the news of the beast master to the border, wouldn't this opportunity come!
Before, she wanted to secretly release some rumors and let the people in the garrison know about it, especially the garrison General Li, with his experience as an old man, he would definitely know how powerful it was.
It's just that there are some twists and turns, and it may not reach the ears of General Li, and now there is one who is going to the battlefield, so it will be just right.
I can tell Xue Huan'er directly, just pass it on to her husband through Xue Huan'er's mouth.
As for where you heard it, it's hard to say, just say that you can listen to the people from Xifeng Town in the teahouse, as for the people? It's just passing by, and it's long gone.
Anyway, she has been going out for a walk every day these days, and both of them know about it, so it's normal to say that she overheard.
"Sister Huan'er, do you know what I heard when I went to the Huajia Teahouse yesterday morning?"
Xue Huan'er thought that she was trying to divert her attention and make her less worried, so she asked with her curious expression, "What's new?" ”
Tilt Yan said mysteriously: "I heard a man from Xifeng Town say to his friend that the day before he left, he saw many wolves surrounding a person, he thought that the man was going to die in the wolf's mouth, and wanted to call someone to save him, but as a result, those wolves at home were like domestic dogs, obediently following that person's side, and even following that person's orders.
This is really a big world, there are no surprises, if this master can cast on our side, with the help of wolves, wouldn't it be surprising to win!
It's a pity that the man said that the person who can resist the wolf is a foreigner-looking person, and I don't know if it's from Tubo or Western Xia, if so, then it's troublesome. ……”
She said this very directly, she was afraid that Xue Huan'er would not understand it, as long as she spread these words to Li Hanqin's ears, he would definitely take it to heart, even if he couldn't think of a countermeasure, it would be good to be vigilant.
After all, wolves are not steel and iron bones, even after training, they are flesh and blood, and in the case of many people, wolves are not so terrible.
The wolf attacks with sharp teeth and claws, while the soldiers have swords and bows and arrows, and if it is really a face-to-face battle, the wolf is at a disadvantage, and they are afraid that they will be taken by surprise.
At first, Xue Huan'er thought that she was relieving her boredom, but when Qian Yan finished speaking, she couldn't eat anymore, and fell directly into contemplation.
If this enemy really has one who can drive the wolves, and then really use the wolves to sneak up on this side, it will be troublesome.
Seeing that she took it to heart, she didn't say more, and said goodbye to her after a hasty dinner and went back to the guest room to rest.
Xue Huan'er really lived up to her expectations, and when Li Hanqin came back from his busy evening, she hurriedly told him about it one by one, and even added some oil and vinegar on the basis of what Qian Yan said.
In her mouth, the beast master can control hundreds of wolves, and he is already the opponent's hidden trump card, waiting to be taken by surprise on the battlefield.
It is more serious than what he said to his mouth, Chen Yang said that he looked out, and people guessed that it should not help the master to come to his mouth, that is, I said a poem over there, that is, he was training the wolves how to fight this side? Saying that, Li Hanqing's eyes were about to turn into pimples, and he didn't sleep anymore, so he ran directly to Qianshou Beifu and blessed. It's about it. Now as the first Qingzhou City of the former Jingzhou City, Qingzhou, your hometown has fallen asleep in a daze, and was dragged up from the bed by his eldest grandson, but he is still a little angry, the old man has little communication, sleeps early, wakes up early, this is just asleep and was picked up, who is not happy, but his temper has not yet come out, I heard what your eldest grandson said, and I immediately held my breath back, and my face was full of solemnity, this is not a trivial matter, And this is how many wolves can really be learned from life, and how many wolves are in the mountains. It's hard to tell, the main thing is that you can really control the wolves, it's a very scary team. Especially if my hot and cold are sneak attacks at night, but I can't prevent it. The girl didn't wait for me, and she didn't want to say lightly that Li Hanqin brought the news to the host of the imported water hotel before getting on the car, but the news was sent to the hotel faster than the 800 li expedited kind, and even said it more seriously, and in the ears of the border pass, he had become a family of people, and there was a poem with a handle in a day, which made all the wolves on the grassland anxious, ready to attack with wolf fists, and be the pioneer first. It's still quite serious at this time, and I have been paying attention to this matter after seeing the little smell I heard, so I know, when I went to the border gate, Qingyan was drinking water at the time, and he sprayed the water directly, and he finally knew how the name of the three came from, okay? What we saw here was a 5-video video of the wolf. It's still in training, it's just a guess, and it's a matter of where you like it. Shangbai was tired, and then he went there and directly became the grassland on the entire grassland and then passed it on, he didn't dare to imagine it, would it be said that you established a country, and then the wolf king came to attack with wolf warriors.
, Wake up early, this was just asleep and was gotten up, who put it aside and no one was happy, but before his temper came out, I heard what your eldest grandson said, and suddenly held his breath back, and his face was full of solemnity, this is not a trivial matter, and this is really how many wolves are in life, how many wolves are in the mountains. It's hard to tell, the main thing is that you can really control the wolves, it's a very scary team. Especially if my hot and cold are sneak attacks at night, but I can't prevent it. The girl didn't wait for me, and she didn't want to say lightly that Li Hanqin brought the news to the host of the imported water hotel before getting on the car, but the news was sent to the hotel faster than the 800 li expedited kind, and even said it more seriously, and in the ears of the border pass, he had become a family of people, and there was a poem with a handle in a day, which made all the wolves on the grassland anxious, ready to attack with wolf fists, and be the pioneer first. It's still quite serious at this time, and I've been paying attention to this matter since I saw the little smell I heard, so I knew it, and if I went to the border gate,
