86. Road encounter

The more you walk to the southeast, the more lush the Great Xing'an Mountains become.

From Zhang Qi's arrival in this world until now, three months have passed.

Spring is about to begin in the blink of an eye, but because it is located in the north, spring here comes later than in other regions with suitable temperatures.

There were no surprises on the way to Donghubu, but the time was a little longer.

They had been walking for almost twenty days, more than 400 miles.

On average, I only walked twenty or thirty miles in a day.

This was mainly due to the fact that the speed of the livestock had slowed down considerably, otherwise it would have taken Zhang Qi and them only six or seven days to march at full speed with the route explored by the sentinels.

Walking out of the Great Xing'an Mountains, Zhang Qi saw the vast plain of a flat river, the snow on the plain was already a little smiling, and a little black soil was exposed under the thin layer of snow.

"It's kind of a walk!"

On the off-road horse, Zhang Qi opened his arms and couldn't help cheering, on his side, twenty-five cavalry armor elites were extraordinary, and then, it was Hu Shui's cavalry archery troops.

It's too uncomfortable to rush in the forest, the depressing and flat space makes people very uncomfortable, although it is a cold winter, there are beautiful snow scenes everywhere in Daxinganling, but after watching for a long time, it is inevitable that people will be bored.

"Liu Chai!"

After cheering, Zhang Qi shouted loudly.

Hu Shuibu rode out on a fast horse and rushed out in front of Zhang Qi.

Turned over and dismounted and landed on one knee: "Humble!" ”

"Go, arrange a few people for the herdsmen to drive the cattle and sheep out, and in addition, you personally take people to find the Donghu Royal Court."

Liu Chai arched his hands in front of his chest: "No! ”

"The first army went to meet the herdsmen, and the second army set off with me!"

Liu Chai beat his horse and went around Hu Shuibu and shouted, and the one and two soldiers in his mouth were naturally the ten horsemen who came with him.

A series of promises sounded in the army, and after a while, the eleven horsemen dispersed.

Zhang Qi glanced back: "The others dismount and trim!" ”

Twenty days, four hundred miles, this speed is very slow, so Zhang Qi and his party are actually not too tired, but in order to avoid accidents, Zhang Qi still keeps everyone in the best condition at all times.

The sentinels had already dispersed to explore the way, so Zhang Qi and the others turned over and dismounted, and found a place to repair everywhere.

Marching with tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, there will naturally be no shortage of food, and even because there are too many cattle and sheep, they can drink milk every day until they vomit.

The herdsmen also really experienced what is called luxury, and it is not a matter to drink a pot of cow and goat milk and pour a pot.

Of course, this is just a joke, the excess fresh milk, Zhang Qi has been included in the world of riding and chopping, whether it is sold or made into cheese, it is a good choice.

After resting for about an hour or two, the herdsmen in the Great Khing'an Mountains had not yet come out, and a few horsemen were rushing from a distance, but behind them, there were hundreds of horsemen chasing them.

"Get on the horse! Prepare for battle! ”

Hu Shui, as an authentic grassland person, was the first to discover the situation, threw the water bag in his hand, the helmet was instantly buckled and roared, everyone turned over the horses beside him, and stood by with bows.

Zhang Qi also got on his own off-road horse, and the NPC soldiers around him, Hu Er, and more than a dozen female soldiers were waiting for him.

The hundred horsemen chasing the sentry stopped more than 100 meters away from Zhang Qi and the others, and several horsemen returned to the military formation.

"Your Majesty, you have found a position, but it is closer, and the military has fallen in."

There were only three people who came back, and counting Liu Chai, there were three more who did not return.

Zhang Qi snorted, looking at the figure opposite with sharp eyes.

"Go, tell them we're here to give gifts!"

said to the sentry beside him, and the sentry was obviously stunned for a moment, and then surrendered his promise.

Just chased back, at this moment was sent out like a duck, You Sentinel's mood was a little complicated, but there was no hatred in his heart, the soldiers' belief in Zhang Qi was firm, and they longed for going to the ranch of the gods after death.

Drawing the scimitar from his waist, he raised it above his head and shook it before throwing it down, and the sentry kept the horse pacing and stepped forward cautiously.

"Warriors of Donghu, my master asked me to spread the word, this time I came to your territory to offer gifts to the great King of Donghu!"

You Sentinel's words made the people on Donghu's side turn their heads and ears a little, and a man with a bird feather decoration on his felt hat raised his hand, and the crowd fell silent.

He did not step forward, but chanted in the middle of the array.

"Since you're here to give a gift, why are you all armed with weapons! Also, what are the people from before sneaking around to find out what we mean?! ”

He is a spy and can't organize too many languages.

Arching his hand, You Sentry said 'Wait a minute', and then hit the horse and returned to Zhang Qi's side.

quickly reported the content of the conversation to Zhang Qi, Zhang Qi hummed and waved him down: "Well, I know, let's go down first, and I'll reward you later." ”

"Hu Shui, your department stays in place and supports at any time, Hu Er, come forward with me."

Zhang Qi clamped the horse's belly, and the off-road horse walked forward spiritually, and Hu Er, who was already wearing armor, followed behind Zhang Qi without saying a word.

The two riders stepped forward and stopped at a position of about ten meters.

Zhang Qi shouted loudly: "Dare to ask, but it's a Xianbei lineage!" The warriors of the steppe have come to take refuge! ”

Speaking of Xiongnu, Zhang Qi is no stranger, and the memory in his mind has long made him understand this language.

The reason why it is said that this is the Xiongnu language is naturally because the grassland at this moment is dominated by the Xiongnu, if it is changed to a hundred years ago, the language that Zhang Qi is speaking now is called Hu.

Looking at the armor on Zhang Qihu Er's body, a trace of greed appeared in the eyes of the man wearing a bird feather felt hat, but this greed was fleeting.

Unlike the Xiongnu, the Donghu people had good smelting technology, pottery technology, and even textile technology, which were almost all absorbed by the friction between the Chinese tribes for hundreds of years.

Although they are lonely now, the starving camel is still bigger than the horse, so for these Donghu people who once had a wide ancestry, the armor is not as important as the intention of Zhang Qi and others.

Today's Donghu people only have two left, and they can't stand the toss, and although both are under the rule of the Xiongnu and are collectively referred to as the Donghu tribe, they are actually counted as two factions.

The one located at the northern foot of the Great Xing'an Mountains is called Xianbei, and the one located at the southern foot is replaced by Wuhuan. p1

The bird feather felt hat looked at Zhang Qi for a long time, and then said, "Take refuge? The Xiongnu are now shining like a scorching sun on the grassland, how can they take refuge! ”

"Make it clear, otherwise, I will let you taste the bravery of the Xianbei warriors!"

The bird feather felt hat lit up the scimitar in his hand, compared to the Xiongnu's cavalry, the Donghu people are better at hand-to-hand combat.

Zhang Qi held down Hu Er, who was about to move, and laughed: "Shan Yu Weishi is indeed fierce, but I have robbed his tribe of King Zuoxian, and the huge grassland can't accommodate me, so I have to take refuge in the real overlord of the grassland!" ”

At this moment, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep walked out of the forest, and the sound of mooing was endless.

Zhang Qi turned around and pointed: "This!" It is my gift to King Donghu, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep from the tribe of King Zuoxian! ”
