Chapter 31: The Wind Rises
The boat rowed into the reeds, startling a field of wild ducks.
Several people on the boat immediately did not dare to move, and they all bowed their bodies, and their faces were nervous.
Peng Ling took out a short knife and kept it on guard.
The others followed suit, and took out the bow, the ring sword, and the shield, and held their breath and concentrated.
After a long time, the reeds were already calm inside and outside, and there was no abnormality, and a few people breathed a sigh of relief.
Peng Ling put away the short knife, gestured with his eyes, and then took the lead to get off the boat, wading through the knees-deep muddy water, and quietly went ashore.
A boy of fifteen or sixteen years of age followed him ashore in the same way.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Peng Ling feels that the Huns' defense is getting tighter and tighter.
This is Dunqiu, which belongs to Wei County in terms of territorial boundaries and was occupied by Shile last year.
Lingjin on the opposite bank, garrisoned by 5,000 troops in the rear camp of the Yanzhou army, once thwarted an attempt by Shile to cross the river, and then did not move for three months.
The two sides confronted each other across the river and were at peace with each other.
But if the army does not cross the river, the scouts will still cross the river.
Peng Ling was a member of the rear battalion of the Yanzhou Army, transferred from the Langling Tuntian Army, and served as the team leader. This time, he was ordered to cross the river to the north and return to meet the scouts, which was the first time for him.
It's just that we've arrived at the agreed place, where are the scouts?
There was a small village by the river, and there was a constant noise.
Peng Ling is a little strange, he also went south from Hebei, and he knows these villages by the Yellow River very well.
Under the years of war, there are few people at all.
I heard that Taishou Lemo also removed everything that could be evacuated, but why was it so noisy?
Suddenly, a familiar smell wafted in the wind.
He sniffed, hesitated for a moment, crept out of the grass and touched the road.
Sure enough, it was fresh donkey dung.
He walked forward and saw a pile of smooth donkey dung eggs.
Further on, there is.
He even saw several large cars parked at the head of the village from a distance.
Some people are sleeping in the car, and some are leaning on the side of the car and chatting.
There were horses tied under a few large trees, and looking at the saddle ornament and the bow tips and short swords inserted in the sheath, they were definitely the mounts of the warp cavalry.
He didn't dare to look at it, and quietly retreated into the grass and returned to the starting point.
"Team leader......" the boy shouted.
Peng Ling's fierce light was revealed, and he directly grabbed the young man's neck.
The young man was half frightened to death, but under Peng Ling's vicious gaze, he didn't dare to struggle, so he could only look at him pitifully.
Peng Ling let go of his hand and said softly: "Hugh has to shout loudly, this time I will teach you a lesson, and I will remember it next time." ”
The boy nodded repeatedly.
Peng Ling waved his hand and returned to the boat with the young man.
After Peng Ling and the others left, they came out of the village to count the horses.
After getting on the post road, just as he was about to gallop, the leader waved and stopped.
He looked at the wet footprints on the road and in the grass, and was silent for a long time.
After Peng Ling returned to the boat, everyone immediately asked, "How?" ”
Peng Ling was silent for a while, and said, "It's getting late, and I haven't come back yet, so I shouldn't be able to come back." Let's go, don't wait! ”
Someone disagreed: "Recently, a lot of scouts have not been able to come back, and the top is in a hurry, if we come and leave, but we don't receive anyone, how can we explain when we go back?" ”
"How can a dead man be brought back?" Peng Ling asked coldly.
"This ......" the questioner was speechless.
"If it had been last year, I would have stabbed you to death a long time ago." Peng Ling put away the short knife and said resolutely: "Go!" ”
Several people answered the order and began to row the boat away from the reeds.
And at this moment, several long arrows broke through the air, startling everyone.
"Shield!" Peng Ling let out a low roar.
The boy subconsciously raised a shield to cover the oar.
The other also raised his shield.
The arrows grew denser, and shouts and horses' hooves sounded on the banks of the river.
One person on the boat had already been hit by an arrow, clutching his stomach and screaming.
Peng Ling's face remained unchanged, still staring at the reeds that were gradually moving away.
An arrow flew over his head.
The expression on his face didn't change, only he lowered himself slightly.
The others did the same, and they all grabbed the boat gang and fell down.
The ship drifted away.
The arrows were not strong enough and fell into the water.
After a few moments, several people came out of the reeds, waded waist-deep water, chased forward a few steps, and when they saw that they could not reach it, they finally put down their bows in a foolish manner.
"The Huns are transporting grain." Peng Ling said suddenly.
"They're also harvesting in autumn?" The boy lowered his shield and asked stupidly.
Peng Ling didn't bother to pay attention to him, and looked at the north shore by himself.
Once people have concerns, they will be worried.
Peng Ling has already married and is in Juancheng.
Someone dies a man, a widow with a child, and he dies with a wife and children, and over time they get together to live.
And the widow was pregnant, and it was his child.
This made him a little worried, and he was no longer as fierce as before.

At the same time, it also fueled his fighting spirit.
His life seems to have a purpose again, and it is no longer muddy.
He didn't want Juancheng to suffer another war and make his wife and children afraid, but he knew that this was just an extravagant hope.
There are some things that he can't control.
In this world, useless people are in high positions and always mess things up, including the one in the palace.
If only I could kill him.
By the time the boat reached the opposite shore, it was already dark.
Peng Ling did not delay, and after instructing his subordinates to send the wounded to the medical officer's camp, he took the young man and went straight to the main barracks.
******
On the land of Hanoi in late autumn, thousands of horses gallop and swallow thousands of miles.
On the bank of the water, a huge felt tent was erected.
Young girls went in and out, carrying all kinds of food utensils, busy.
Outside the big tent, the banks of Qinshui are covered with dense pastures.
The maiden from the steppe let out an exclamation sound.
It was the first time they had come to Hanoi to serve the Han magnates, and it was the first time they had seen such tall pastures, which were completely different from the small and barren contemporaries in the moraine.
A thin teenager walked over and gently patted a young girl's upright buttocks.
The girl jumped away like a frightened fawn, then crossed her waist with one hand and pointed at the boy with the other.
The young man is delicate and feminine, although his face is full of lust, but he is not good at words, and after being scolded by the girl, he walked away stupidly.
When the woman who was milking a cow by the river saw it, she hurriedly said, "Don't provoke him." He is the king's favorite male pet. ”
The girl let out an "ahh
The dignified king of Hanoi, what kind of woman can't get it? How can you like a man?
"The king likes 'beauties', both men and women." When the woman had finished speaking, she lowered her head and continued to express the cow.
The girl also came over, squatted down and squeezed together.
"I heard that the king is about to leave the wild king?" The girl asked.
The woman pointed to the sergeant who was grazing his horses on the other side of the river and said, "The king will go whenever they go." ”
"That's a lot of people." The girl's arms were outstretched, as if to describe "a lot".
The woman smiled and said, "There are so many officials here this time, there must be a lot of people." ”
"Haven't you seen so many people?"
"I haven't seen it." The woman shook her head and said, "Your Majesty has even given the Golden Tent, and all the leaders of the tribes have come to the alliance, and I haven't seen this meeting for many years." ”
"Are you from the Central Plains?" The girl asked suddenly.
The woman stopped what she was doing, sighed for a long time, then wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "My home is in Yecheng, not far from here. ”
"Oh." The girl didn't know where Yecheng was, but subconsciously felt that it was not too far.
After the two had milked a bucket of milk, the girl carried it away.
The woman stood up and looked to the east in a daze.
Actually, it was far away and she couldn't see anything, but she just wanted to see.
More than 100 riders galloped to the east, and Zhu Zi, who walked in the front, was a big official at a glance.
Zhenxi General Shan Zheng, Anxi General Liu Ya, and Zhonghu Army Jin Zhun ......
All of them are members of the court.
The woman withdrew her gaze and went on working.
When I was young, I listened to my father and brother talk about it, and when I mentioned the Huns, I shook my head and sighed, saying that the imperial court led the Hu people into the Central Plains, but did not organize the households and the people, and controlled them - the so-called household Qi people are not just for you to count the household registration, but to break the upper and lower organizations, so that the herdsmen no longer listen to the words of the head, but listen to the words of the government, so that the real household Qi people.
She has been exiled by the Huns for several years, and after observing the past few years, the Huns are going back more and more.
One tribe after another was lured by them.
Every year, several or even a dozen tribes in the northern steppes go south to enrich the population of the Xiongnu tribes - this kind of thing seems to have not been interrupted since the beginning of the dynasty, and it happens every year.
The newcomers are ignorant and ignorant, but they are hunting and nomadic herding, and do not do anything to produce crops.
Over time, the Xiongnu became more and more barbaric.
And their barbarism will inevitably bring great disasters to the people of the Central Plains.
"Ugh." The woman sighed, felt uncomfortable, and turned to go on with her work.
More than ten officials who rode Zhu Zi dismounted far away, and then came to the Golden Horde with a smile.
After a while, it was even busier inside and outside the Golden Horde.
One by one, the sheep were pulled over, slaughtered and cooked on the spot.
A cart of wine also came, and the shepherds moved around and ran endlessly.
There are eagles flying in the sky, and knights hunting on the ground.
Hundreds of miles along the Qinshui coast, there are herds of horses, almost more than 100,000 of them, bowing their heads to gnaw on the grass that has gradually withered and yellowed.
Hanoi County, once rich in Qingcheng rice, has turned into a huge pasture.
Yes, in the Han Dynasty, there was already a large-scale pasture here, but at this time, the herding people were different.
The eagle flapped its wings and flew south, sweeping across the Yellow River.
On both sides of the river, there is a lot of tranquility.
Looking from Henan to Hebei, there is hardly anything unusual.
Only the rangers who appear from time to time on the north shore make people vaguely remember that the Jin and Han sides were still in a state of war at this time.
"Woo-" The desolate horn sounded, and a large fleet of ships appeared on the quiet river.
The sound of the horn is a command.
A convoy of no small size appeared on the shore.
The spears are strong, the armor is full of soldiers, and the battle flags are flying, like the high morale of the soldiers.
The boats lined up in a neat queue and went up the river to Luoshui.
